ENDTIME THE RAPTURE

 What do you feel when you hear about the End Times? Regardless of whether we’re prepared for Jesus’ coming or not, one thing is for sure, He will come again. It says in Matthew 24:44, “For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.”

JOY

 Joross Gamboa: “Dati nung makamundo pa ako— bisyo, alcohol, dr*gs, babae kumbaga, wordly halos lahat ng bisyo ko. Alam mo, yung ginagawa ng mga makamundong tao is striving for happiness. Ang pinaka main goal ko noon sa buhay ay maging happy which is mali. Happiness is based on happenings. Masaya tayo ngayon kasi buhay parents natin, wala tayong sakit, may trabaho tayo, maganda grades natin, meron kang bagong gamit pero paano kapag nawala lahat yun? So, nakabase yung happiness sa happenings.”

“Ngayon, ang kailangan natin sa buhay is yung JOY. Joy is from within, hindi siya apektado ng circumstances and situation. At yung joy na yun ay matatagpuan lang natin kay Lord Jesus Christ. Joy kasi kahit nasa midst ka ng mga pagsubok meron ka pa ring peace. The only one who can complete your heart is the one who created you. Merong parte sa puso ng isang tao na hindi natin mapupunan yun kahit anong yaman sa mundo, magandang health, magandang family whatever. Pero di siya mapunan punan.” — Joross

“Ito yung sinasabi ko sa mga kapwa ko artista na, di ba yung life natin parang isang loop na paulit ulit. Meron kang hinahabol na hindi mo alam kung ano yun. Nilo-look forward mo, ah next week may sweldo, makakapag shopping o makakakain sa labas with family. Pero kapag nandun ka na, may ilo-look forward ka na naman. Parang laging meron kang ilo-look forward para ma satisfy ka. Parang surviving ka lang sa world eh, wala kang purpose. Pero ano nga ba ang purpose natin? Para malaman mo yun, dapat kilalanin mo muna at makilala  kung sino yung creator mo. Dahil ang creator natin ang nag design sa atin para magbigay ng purpose sa mundong ito” — Joross

What Joross said makes a lot of sense. Many of us spend our lives chasing things like money, success, or relationships, thinking these will make us happy. But the truth is, those things don’t last. Once they’re gone, we feel empty again.

For those reading or hearing this, it’s important to ask yourself: “What am I really looking for in life? Is it just happiness, or is it lasting peace and joy?” This doesn’t mean it’s wrong to want good things in life, but we need to remember that they can’t fill the void in our hearts. 

You don’t have to figure everything out or carry the weight alone. If you want true joy, start with a simple step—get to know God. Pray, read His Word (the Bible), and reflect on your purpose in life. You’ll be surprised that as your relationship with Him grows, your life’s direction will become clearer. And that’s when you’ll experience a “joy” that no material thing can ever give.

LABUBU DOLL

 Many believers or Born Again Christians have already warned the public through social media platforms about the current obsession with the LABUBU doll. This doll has become a viral trend, especially among young people, sparking widespread attention and fascination. However, many are concerned about the spiritual implications of this growing trend.

The Labubu dolls (also known as Nordic Elf Monsters) are not of God. The roots of these dolls trace back to Nordic Mythology, where they are associated with demon gods. As the Bible says in John 8:44, "...He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

These dolls, though appearing innocent, are a disguise of the enemy. Satan, the father of lies, uses such distractions to mislead and deceive, drawing people away from the truth. It is alarming how many of these Labubu dolls have been made and how widespread their popularity has become. Imagine if you are collecting these dolls and bringing them into your home.

Don’t let demon spirits enter your home. Every item you bring into your living spaces carries an influence, and the spirit behind these dolls can invite demons or even oppression into your life and household. You must be cautious of the things you allow to enter. Your home is meant to be a sanctuary, a place where the peace of God dwells. When you knowingly or unknowingly bring in items connected to darkness, you open doors to the enemy.

MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU

 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Psalm 34:18

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed. 

If we were perfect or had no troubles, we would not feel the need to seek the Lord.  I feel closer to The Lord when things are not going well because I can feel his presence and see him in action sorting out the things that take my peace away.  

Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my favorite verses.

Even when we are ill, The Lord is also in charge.  I love when I see The Lord in action.   See, he has the last word, not men, not the enemy and not the circumstances.  Miracles are activated by faith and when we turn in our troubles, weaknesses and everything else in his hands, he will take care of it at the perfect time.

Ecclesiastes 8:6

For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble lies heavy on him.

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Luke 18:27

But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Psalm 46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

Amen!  Praise the Lord!

DEAREST NESTOR

 Laging sinasabi sa amin ni Mama: “Ngumiti kayo sa inyong Ama kapag umuwi siya sa bahay dahil ang mundo sa labas ay malupit at nakakapagod para sa mga ama.”

Ano ang pagkakaiba ng ina at ama?

 • Ang ina ay nagdadala sa’yo sa kanyang sinapupunan nang 9 na buwan.

 • Ang ama ay nagdadala sa’yo sa buong buhay niya (kahit hindi mo napapansin).

 • Ang ina ay tinitiyak na hindi ka nagugutom.

 • Ang ama ay tinuturuan ka kung paano hindi magutom (ngunit hindi mo agad naintindihan).

 • Ang ina ay inaalagaan ka sa kanyang dibdib.

 • Ang ama ay kinakarga ka sa kanyang likod (ngunit hindi mo nakikita).

Ang pagmamahal ng ina ay nalalaman mo mula sa iyong kapanganakan.

Ang pagmamahal ng ama ay nauunawaan mo kapag naging ama ka na rin (kaya’t maghintay ka nang may pagtitiis).

Ang ina ay walang katumbas na halaga.

Ang ama ay hindi mapapalitan ng panahon.

YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND UNLESS YOU BECAME A MOTHER

 "Spending your energy giving someone else wings only for them to learn to fly off on their own — that is motherhood." 🦋

What a privilege it's been to walk this journey of motherhood. They say you don't understand what it's like until you become a mama yourself. I understand now. 

And I'm abundantly grateful.
