OH MY GOD!
We always say this expression "Oh my God!" or "OMG!" when we are amused or scared or just because we like saying it...As for me, I've gotten used to saying "Oh Lord Jesus!"
Why??
Well, since I was baptized as a Christian, the first thing I learned was calling the name of the Lord. At church, we always say "Oh Lord Jesus" several times before we begin to pray because by doing that we are able to turn to our spirit.
Say what??
It's very usual for someone to feel sleepy or bored or just still be thinking of things even though you're inside the church. Actually, our mind is so powerful that even though we are praying or listening our mind is multitasking.. Well, that is what we try to avoid.... distractions by the mind(thinking), body (sleepy or sick) and heart (sad or mad). By calling the name of the Lord..it eventually helps to TURN ON our spirit and TURN
OFF the rest.
So the next time you hear someone say "Oh Lord Jesus" try not to be annoyed... instead try saying it, too. It helps. :-)

I GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD
It's been 4 months but still whenever I watch this recorded video of my first ever TV guesting...I could not believe how I did it.
Not many people know what I've been through before they saw me on TV. So let me share it to you now.
From December of last year, 2011 to March of this year, 2012, I've had depression and nervous breakdown. Right now, I could not believe how I've managed to survive all the weird feelings that I had and the worse experiences I've been through.
For most people, they could easily say I've almost gotten crazy. That's too sad because that just proves how narrow minded most people are. Even some people who I thought were my friends persecuted me and could not even give me a little sympathy. Well, on the lighter side, I have proven who my true friends are.
I don't have to define the meaning of DEPRESSION and NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. Let me just share why I had it. For 4 years, I've been home bound because of my job, being an online English Teacher via SKYPE, with lots of students from day to night. I was so stressed out. All the money I earned just went to the doctor and the pharmacy.
My husband also contributed to my STRESS...and all of a sudden last year of July, I ended up in the hospital for almost 2 weeks because of ASTHMA and Hyperventilation syndrome, not to mention my stomach problems.
I had severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome and have become allergic to many foods that my doctor advised me to have ENDOSCOPY (camera on tip of a tube to be inserted from mouth to your intestines) which is really horrible.
And on the first week of December, I was so scared I could not sleep waiting for the day of my ENDOSCOPY. The closer it came the worse I have become. Until I lost it. An expert GI doctor confirmed that he is 100% sure Endoscopy is not necessary because I have tension and anxiety. I was sleepless for 3 months with just an hour of sleep or two, my doctor referred me to a Psychiatrist. I took some anti-depressants which kicks like hell so I stopped it right away and just took sleeping pills for 3 months. I was under the care of a personal nurse and helper, Jenny (God sent angel) during those days. My husband and surprisingly my in-laws were very supportive of me. When I was getting some sleep, I decided to stop taking the pill but it was terrible that I have to experience some awful withdrawal symptoms like high blood pressure, weird feelings inside the heart, inside my head, hot feelings on the chest and back, anxiety and many more weird stuff. I thought GOD left me, until one day, I got an email inviting me to guest on the famous TV show here in my country and I was like OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My family rushed in my room and thought I was having a panic attack but then when they heard the news, they were crazier!
I was totally sleepless. So with just 1 hour of nap, I know that it was GOD who brought me there and did what I had to do. Since then, I slept better. That first guesting on It's Showtime was followed by another guesting on the same station, CGE.TV in da loop which was the website who discovered me and just recently, which was my third and hopefully not the last, on another network, Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho, which discovered my Tagalog version of the very popular song CALL ME MAYBE.
More tv appearances keeps on coming but I really don't take it seriously, I just enjoy them. I am not really wanting to be in showbiz... I am always aspiring what GOD wills for me... and I don't live my life to please anyone but only my LORD. After all that I've been through, I have learned my life's true purpose..not to be a singer or actress, but to express GOD in His victory and testify His greatness!
Glory to GOD!
Thank You OH LORD JESUS!

Are you a REAL CHRISTIAN? Are you a REAL FRIEND?
1 Cor. 1:17~ "He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit."
If we criticize and judge carelessly, this proves that we are not in the spirit. Someone questioned if I am really a Christian, and to think that she is also a Christian, she criticized and judged me carelessly... then asked.. " Are you really a Christian?" and I did not answer. Because GOD knows who's who. A real Christian is not someone HOLY, VICTORIOUS, ZEALOUS in serving and going to church, a real Christian is someone who walks by the mingled spirit. So I am doing my very best to cling to my spirit where Christ dwells... because walking by the spirit will free me from Satan's authority! Now, I ask you, are you really a Christian? Let GOD answer that for you. Hallelujah! ♥
If it is said that someone who carelessly judge and criticize others are living by the flesh and is under Satan's authority, it implies that we, as human beings CAN criticize and judge but in the right way.
How is that? For example, I have a friend who has a dark complexion and always wear black... I can tell her personally and privately ... my friend, I hope you won't mind, but it's best that you wear light colored clothes because wearing black will just make you look darker. This is criticizing and judging sincerely, making sure that your friend is not offended or hurt or humiliated. GOD does not require us to be QUIET and just shut up to prevent sin. He wants us to SPEAK UP. GOD does not prohibit us from being angry, we can be MAD but without sin. I have learned that whatever we do, we will have enemies who will challenge our faith and will try their best to lose our control and cling to our flesh. Satan is working double time these days, he is working overnight and using all his resources to recover Christians who were once under his authority. Will we let him trick us? Satan is deceitful and very very wise. But as children of GOD, who is the wisest and the greatest... we should stay strong and always cling to our mingled spirit so we are safe from all works of evil. If you know that your family or friends or strangers are being used by evil to turn you away from GOD, the best thing to do is to get your bible, use the living words of GOD as your weapon. And the last resort is to IGNORE and just continue walking with the spirit and let GOD do the rest for you. Because GOD is a fair judge. He is faithful to his people. Always say to yourself that if GOD is in you, nobody can be against you. Praise the Lord!
A real friend for me, can criticize and judge me sincerely and not carelessly. A real friend is someone who won't hurt you but will never leave you at your lowest. JESUS is my best friend. He's always been with me and I will never be alone. ^_^

A PRAYER OF A GOOD PERSON
**CLICK THE PICTURE for the PRAYER**
GOD is fair and faithful to His promise. He knows who to reward and who to punish. GOD have seen my tears and sufferings and has never left my side. Although I almost gave up and accused Him... he brought angels to save me. He's always been with me and with GOD in me, who can be against me?
Praise You Oh LORD! I offer my life to you! Thank you for your mercy...

THANK YOU GOD and for the angels you sent
To describe the feeling is as difficult as the experience I have had for the past two months. What's important is that GOD is here and He lives within me and He never left my side.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU GOD for everything... always stay with me and never leave me... Thank you for the people whom you sent to help me go through the hard times... Thank you, thank you..I love you Lord.
