Battling the Enemy: Don't Give Up, MIRIELLE

Date: October 29, 2009
BIBLICAL PASSAGE: DEUTERONOMY 20-22
"For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."-Deuteronomy 20:4

Message:
     For every battle we struggle to our evil enemies, God is always there for us. He didn't allowed the enemies to keep the victory against to us. And for us, it remind us don't give up because God is with us.

Reflection:
     Because of God's love to us, hinding-hindi niya tayo pababayaan not only for battling to our enemies but also to provide our needs and there are times nakikipaglaban din tayo sa ugali nating tarantahin dahil hindi natin alam kung saan tayo kukuha ng pangangailangan natin (Deuteronomy 20:3).

Motivation:
     Holy Spirit motivates me. Sa totoo lang kasi, feeling ko susuko na ako. Iniisip ko, tapusin na lang ang SOL 2 ko then pause muna ako. I haven't a disciple yet and because of that naiisip ko na hindi ako karapat-dapat pero hindi ko naman gusto rin iyon because God choose me and it is not my choice, pero habang tumatagal ako sa Kanya, ayoko  ng umalis pero hindi ko naman nagagawa ang responsibility ko sa Kanya kahit gusto ko siyang gawin. Kaya minsan, pumapasok sa utak ko na bumalik sa pagka-emo dahil rin siguro sa kulang sa atensiyon. But the Holy Spirit of God help me to not to do it. Nararamdaman ko ang love ni God na ayaw niya kong umalis. Ayoko namang umalis sa Kanya eh, pero dahil sa hindi ko magawa ang responsibility sa kanya, naiisip ko iyon. Nahihiya ako kasi as a Christian, dapat pinapakita ko iyon wherever I am. Pero iba ang ugali ko sa bahay at sa labas. Oo, there are times I share a gospel to my classmate at ganun din sa family ko but sa totoo lang, maikli ang patience ko sa bahay. Doon ko naiisip na sa paningin ng family ko, walang nagbabago sa akin. But still, the Holy Spirit was still there and guide me and remind me about the matters with my family.

Application:
     My spiritual family motivates me also especially my spiritual parents, Ps. Oriel and Mommy Ger. For every preaching they preach every Sunday Service, lahat ng iyon patama sa akin. totoo nga ang Hebrews 4:12, "For the Word of God is living and active. sharper than any double-edged-sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and atiitude of the heart." Sinasabi dito na there are so many people especially God. Di'ba pag tayo ay namo-motivate talagang kikilos tayo na magagawa natin iyon.
