Faith in the unseen, I will never be alone because Jesus reigns in my soul. My soul surrender.
When we don't trust that God is good, we are sinning. Why? Because we are not believing who God is. When we don't trust God, we worry and so we sin again. Why again? Because Jesus said in Matthew to not worry for you are valuable in God's eyes. You don't believe He loves you so you try to manipulate. Well, that was my wrong.
God brought to light how I was not trusting Him. How I was manipulating my relationships and how I am trying to controlling things in my hand so I won't be too close to a guy friend because I don't like him if ever the Lord leads us together. Number two wrong: don't assume and don't overthink. Be yourself and enjoy the relationships around you. You'll miss out so much if not.
Why are we so afraid that God will give us the people that we don't want? It will mold us into Christ-likeness!
This week passed by so fast because of the MOVE 2016 conference. I was assigned in the help desk table. I love people, I really do. I am not being sarcastic here. I love seeing people and seeing them helped. I would not even sit in a restaurant near the clear glass because I feel like I am obligated to go out and help a person who looks like in need even though I do not know his or her personal life, baka mukha lang talaga siyang nanganagilangan pero sa totoo, di naman pala. HAHA.
God allowed me to help a group from Cordillera (a Philippine province) to get home since they aren't familiar with Manila (city in the Philippines where Move was held) and before they went home, to pray for them, may the Lord allow me to see their ministry in the mountains.
In the registration, God allowed me to meet women who have hearts for the youth who sponsored random people to the discipleship conference and experience the Lord in a different way by His grace. The Lord is so good to allow me to know these people. But at the same time, the fruit of the Spirit was tested in me. Before the start of the conference, I wrote down Galatians 5 so I would be reminded to love the people because the Lord loves them so much. The Lord must shine in us to bring Him praise (Matthew 5).
The conference is so gracious that it gave free concert along with the plenary sessions. And the whole concert, I just wanted to cry out to the Lord how I've killed people in my head and how I was a sinner yet God loves me the same. How awesome our God is. That there are no striking of lightning from heaven when we come to Him in service, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. That He is our hope.
Jesus' love is higher
Than the skies up above
Your love is wider
Than what I can dream of
Your love is deeper
It's the greatest of all
Oswald Chambers once said that the root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.
When we don't trust that God is good, we are sinning. Why? Because we are not believing who God is. When we don't trust God, we worry and so we sin again. Why again?

It is always tempting to judge people but we must always make our thoughts captive of Jesus. That we must always surrender it to Jesus' hands to judge. We should not cause divisions but love our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Loving God is to memorize His word. The Shema, Deuteronomy 6:4-9 is required for Jewish boys to be memorized and repeated. When we love someone, we always look at what they told you, right? We check their chats, letters and every word they say, we look for the context and think why did they write it. I was so amazed with the RZIM speaker, Dan Paterson how he quoted verses and my takehome from the conference is to study God's word and memorize them. We don't know where God will place me and I might not have the bible might as well record it in my memory. :)
Dan also said that we always ask God for specific things to do like vision that we forget what God has placed in our hands. I remember the first ever video we had for campus movement and I remember what I said which I don't know where I got it, that the general command of God is to share Jesus.
As I was in Hillsong, God was just telling me to focus on Him, focus on my family (I love them so much!!) and focus on the disciples the Lord has entrusted to me and the ministry in NU and UST.That JESUS is more than enough. HE IS ALL THAT I NEED. stet
I know whom I trusted--JESUS. He is faithful. He is powerful. He resurrected from the dead.
Proverbs 8:29 "When He assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters would not transgress His command."

Just like in cooking, we cannot be good cooks without applying what you watched on youtube, you must try doing it. You may fail because it is new to you. But, continue to do it.

| My first time ever to make a dish. Filipino Kare-Kare. Baler peanut butter but Kapampangan way of cooking. Just like in cooking ribs, we should not compromise the time for baking, WAIT. (I won't post the photo because we were excited to eat it and so the picture is all bones haha. It took 3 hours kasi. HAHA.) |
Dear God, may all the people who will read this would walk in faith with You because You are worth it. May all of us trust in You. Trust in Your goodness and love. That just like the Nazirites in Numbers 6, we will live our lives set-apart for the Lord. That we will love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
In His Pursuit,
Michelle Aquino
