CAMP and all that GREATNESS!!
GGGGGRRRRRAAAAABBBBBEEEEE!!!!!
To the max yung FMCC Camp '07..just got home..at sobra-sobra ang pagod ng katawan ko.. my strength was still not enough.. but the LORD's strength was more than enough! I feel sooooooooooooooo refreshed after the Lord's mighty move sa camp.. And the happenins' really lived up to its theme: The FIRE of GOD.. it's just amazing what the Lord can do if you surrender to His will and if you yield to the move of the Holy Spirit..
Words are really not enough to describe the Lord's presence.. but what i know is that IT WAS AMAZING!! Hallelujah for His glory and power..!!

Saturday - (wwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttt???! ambilis ng oras!) aba talaga nga namang ang bungad ng araw e Youth Cell..8am YC na agad..buti nlng si ate kaye ang magtuturo..hehe..pero games muna! at nagkataon na ang saya-saya ng aming group! seriously! grabe nakakatuwa sila na kasama! Go Kindness Group!! yeah!! pero i really learned dun na we have to have the fire of knowing and obeying God.. it's all part of the sacrifice..mamaya ko na lang idi-discuss yung mga natutunan ko..hehe..pero pramis..andami..so ayun.. after ng sharing.. parusahan time! yung mga natalo sa games namen..kinanta ang BEAM song..nang may kaharap..at nang hindi tumatawa..at nakakatawa sila!! wahehehe!! grabe na ito! hehe.. tapos.. prepare na ulet kame.. for YOUTH REVIVE! and when the HOLY SPIRIT moves, walang makapagsasabi talaga! and true enough..inde na nakapagshare si Ptr. Mike Oleis..worship lng talaga..and again..basking in His presence..tapos sila free time..kami naman sa Ministers and Workers' Forum..at muntik na kami (well actually late na kami) ma-late..kaya lang hindi kami late e kasi kami yung leaders..hehe..batas e no..daya..hehe..pero ayun..si Lord ulet yung nagsalita thru me..tapos pinag-pray namin isa-isa.. and then the tokens..courtesy of ate kaye (babawi din ako!)..hehe..tapos pirmahan and more tawanan at pictures..
At ang revival night..again..again..again..His presence was just so awesome! grabe na talaga! after ng worship..another call to be prayed for..pero ito iba na..dito talaga very evident ang falling of the fire of God.. so this is how it went..yung mga ministers/pastors/team nila Rev. Dennis..in two lines..magkakatapat..and then they formed the "tunnel of fire.." yung mga gusto maipag-pray dadaan sa loob..and then per pair..ipagpe-pray yung dadaan..hanggang sa dulo.. puwera na lang kung talagang ma-touch ng Holy Spirit at bumagsak..then..pull out na para makadaan ang iba..chaka para makapag-"personal time" sila with the Lord.. so ako naman..sige dalawang camera na ang dala ko..for video..and for snapshots..at talaga nga naman..ubusan ng battery or memory..which ever came first..sige lang..grabe ung haba nung pila! pero mas grabe ung presence..habang tumatagal..sumasarap..parang ganun..(parang beer un a..) pero grabe lang talaga..hebigats! so nung mejo maikli na at mejo nabawasan na yung ginagawa ko..nakipila na rin ako..and then..ayon..the Lord just filled me with His words and His presence..todo tongues and prayer..grabe.. ang sarap ng presence! tapos nung wala nang iba..yung mga ministers mismo e bagsakan din dahil sa presence thru prayer..ksi pinag-pray sila e..at ayun na nga! tumbahan din sila, tawanan (Holy Laughter), at iba pa.. tapos kantahan ulet! grabe..paguran talaga..pero it was worth the sweat and the exhaustion, if only to receive His blessing!
Sunday - (aaaaaayyyy..tapos na yung camp agad! bitin!!!! o hinde!) It's Resurrection Sunday.. so maaga kame..kaya hindi rin ako masyado nakatulog ng maayos..peroafter all was said and done, ayun.. officially closed na ang camp..then the baptism..at ligpitan blues..haaay..kalungkot lng kasi inde na ko naka-mingle with other youth..kasi pagod din chaka bantay ako sa Hall..pero ok lang.. yun yung sacrifice ko e..kaya sige ako..my sacrifice is for Him!! nakakapagod man.. it's all for His greater glory..at eto ko ngayon..pagod pero nagawa ko ung blog ko..hehe..thank God for His Goodness..Blessed be His great name FOREVER! HALLELUJAH!!
things i've learned naman.. when the Holy Spirit moves..walang makakapagsabi..when He wants us to worship..we better worship! the fire of knowing Him and Obeying Him with gladness are things that we must yearn for..kasi knowing the Lord is knowing His Love..knowing His sacrifice..and obeying Him is our response to His sacrifice..therefore, we get to follow His footsteps, and offer up our sacrfices as well..offering up our lives..our walk life, thought life, our character, the fat that is stored..and ourselves..offering up our time, our efforts..our comfort zones.. kasi we have to get out..just get out of those comfort zones that hinder us from letting go and offering up our sacrifices to God..if we get out, no matter the cost, no matter the circumstance, no matter what the future may hold, it is all in His hands..we just have to surrender to His will.. because it is the best for us..We must be fire that really burns..we should have the fire that is intense.. the heart that is not "lukewarm.." We must let the LORD's fire purify us and change us..we must be mature enough to offer up our sacrifices, even our greatest desires and passions..for the Lord to fill us and lead us..for His fire to purify and test us..for His fire to just burn and burn and burn in us..until we are wholly consumed..for His glory..for His honor..for Him..Hallelujah..For Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
