Matthew 9:1-38

Mat 9:3 Then some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"
Mat 9:4 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said, "Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?
Mat 9:5 For which is easier: to say 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?
Mat 9:6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." Then he said to the paralyzed man, "Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!"
Mat 9:7 So the man got up and went home.
Mat 9:8 When the crowds saw this, they became frightened and glorified God for giving such authority to humans.
Mat 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and said to him, "Follow me." So he got up and followed him.
Mat 9:10 While he was having dinner at Matthew's home, many tax collectors and sinners arrived and began eating with Jesus and his disciples.
Mat 9:11 The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
Mat 9:12 When Jesus heard that, he said, "Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick people do.
Mat 9:13 Go and learn what this means: 'I want mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners."
Mat 9:14 Then John's disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"
Mat 9:15 Jesus said to them, "The wedding guests can't mourn as long as the groom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast."
Mat 9:16 "No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.
Mat 9:17 Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
Mat 9:18 While Jesus was telling them these things, an official came up, fell down before him, and said, "My daughter has just died. But come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."
Mat 9:19 So Jesus got up and followed him, along with his disciples.
Mat 9:20 Just then a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Mat 9:21 For she had been saying to herself, "If I just touch his robe, I will get well."
Mat 9:22 When Jesus turned and saw her, he said, "Be courageous, daughter! Your faith has made you well." And from that very hour the woman was well.
Mat 9:23 When Jesus came to the official's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,
Mat 9:24 he said, "Go away! The girl hasn't died but is sleeping." They laughed and laughed at him.
Mat 9:25 But when the crowd had been driven outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
Mat 9:26 The news of this spread throughout that land.
Mat 9:27 As Jesus was traveling on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
Mat 9:28 When he had gone into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked them, "Do you believe I can do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord!"
Mat 9:29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith, let it be done for you!"
Mat 9:30 And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly told them, "See to it that nobody knows about this."
Mat 9:31 But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that land.
Mat 9:32 As they were going out, a man who couldn't talk because he was demon-possessed was brought to him.
Mat 9:33 As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"
Mat 9:34 But the Pharisees kept saying, "He drives out demons by the ruler of demons."
Mat 9:35 Then Jesus began traveling through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness.
Mat 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Mat 9:37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.
Mat 9:38 So ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest."

New modus operandi - using lost girl child for rape

PLS. TAKE A TIME TO READ ....IT'S FOR YOUR SAFETY!!!
SHARE IT TO OTHERS AS A WARNING



The girl left the office after working hours and saw a little child
crying on the road.

Feeling pity for the child, she went to ask what happened.

The child said, 'I am lost. Can you take me home please?'

Then the child gave her a slip of paper and tells the girl where the
address is.

And the girl, being an average kind person, didn't suspect anything and
took the child there.

And there when they arrived at the 'child's home', the kind hearted girl
pressed the door bell and she was electrocuted as the bell was wired
with high voltage, and fainted.

The next day when she woke up, she found herself in an empty house up in
the hills, naked.
Condoms were all thrown around with semen flowing. There were at least
about 20 condoms!

She has not even seen her assailant.

That's why nowadays crimes are targeted on kind people like us.

Next time if the same situation occurs, never bring the child to the
intended place.

If the child insists, then bring the child to the police station.

Lost children are best sent to police stations.

Please send this to all your female friends/colleagues, and your friends
with girlfriends and friends with wives.

It is better to receive this a thousand times than be a victim once !

Thank you.

Matthew 6:1-34

(Mat 6:1) "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

(Mat 6:2) So whenever you give to the poor, don't blow a trumpet before you like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they will be praised by people. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!

(Mat 6:3) But when you give to the poor, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

(Mat 6:4) so that your giving may be done in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

(Mat 6:5) "And whenever you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!

(Mat 6:6) But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

(Mat 6:7) "When you are praying, don't say meaningless words like the gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their wordiness.

(Mat 6:8) Don't be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

(Mat 6:9) "Therefore, this is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

(Mat 6:10) May your kingdom come. May your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

(Mat 6:11) Give us today our daily bread,

(Mat 6:12) and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.

(Mat 6:13) And never bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'

(Mat 6:14) For if you forgive people their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

(Mat 6:15) But if you do not forgive people their offenses, your Father will not forgive your offenses."

(Mat 6:16) "Whenever you fast, don't be gloomy like the hypocrites. For they put on sad faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!

(Mat 6:17) But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,

(Mat 6:18) so that your fasting will not be noticed by others but by your Father who sees in secret. And your Father who is in secret will reward you."

(Mat 6:19) "Stop storing up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

(Mat 6:20) But keep on storing up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal.

(Mat 6:21) For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

(Mat 6:22) "The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

(Mat 6:23) But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

(Mat 6:24) "No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches!"

(Mat 6:25) "That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life-what you will eat or what you will drink-or about your body-what you will wear. Life is more than food, isn't it, and the body more than clothing?

(Mat 6:26) Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't you?

(Mat 6:27) Can any of you add a single hour to your span of life by worrying?

(Mat 6:28) And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies in the field and how they grow. They don't work or spin yarn,

(Mat 6:29) but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.

(Mat 6:30) Now if that is the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, won't he clothe you much better-you who have little faith?

(Mat 6:31) "So don't ever worry by saying, 'What are we going to eat?' or 'What are we going to drink?' or 'What are we going to wear?'

(Mat 6:32) For it is the gentiles who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!

(Mat 6:33) But first be concerned about God's kingdom and his righteousness, and all of these things will be provided for you as well.

(Mat 6:34) So never worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

A reply to Erik's blog...Title: "Someday, Somehow, Someone will UNDERSTAND"

mejo nakakarelate ako sa sitwasyon mo ngayon ah. hehe. wala lang. I know the feeling. I've been through your situation and I can feel that I'm currently into something like that right now and it's very hard, actually napakahirap. minsan gusto mo na bumigay pero kinakaya pa rin. aw ang EMO pala. hahaha.

hindi ko man alam kung anong side mo pero sa palagay ko naiintindihan kita. wala man akong alam sa nararanasan mo ngayon, pero payo ko lang sa'yo, wala mang nakakaintindi sa'yo, nagkakamali ka, anjan lagi si GOD handang buhatin ka sa sandaling ikaw ay bumagsak, handang damayan ka sa oras nang pangangailangan at handang akayin ka sa panahon na ikaw ay hirap na hirap na. Isa pa, always continue to attend bible studies cause it will greatly help you. and also don't forget that God is always there for you, just trust Him and always pray, and everything will be just fine.

Marahil, wala na ngang nakakaintindi sa'yo, sabihin na nating naiintindihan kita kahit papaano, sabi nga birs of the same feathers flock together, pero darating ang panahon na may isang taong kahit di mo kilala at estranghero sa iyo ay para bang matagal na kayong magkakilala at ang pagintindi sa iyo ay parang tulad ng Diyos, at marahil ito ay sugo ni God para maging isa sa mga kaibigan mo na TUNAY at kailanman ay hindi ka pagiisipan ng masama at di ka iiwan. Marahil anjan lang siya sa tabi-tabi di mo lang napapansin o di kaya'y darating pa lamang siya. hehe :)

Sa panahon ngayon, tama ka, mahirap nga magtiwala, ngunit wag mo namang ilimit ang sarili mo, kahit papaano ay maging bukas ka sa mga taong sa tingin mo ay hindi ka bibiguin. At sa oras na biguin ka ng mga taong ito, hayaan mo nalamang sila, may nararapat na consequences para sa kanila ang Diyos. Ipagdasal mo na lamang ito at lagi kang magtiwala.

Mahirap talaga magpakatao pero maging tao parang chicken lang yan. Sa unang tingin kala mo anghel, pero pag talikod mo naman, poncio pilato pala. hehe. ganon talaga. masanay ka na.

Bakit nga pa ganoon, tinuringan pang mga kawangis tayo ni Hesus, pero mismong tayong mga tao dinudungisan ang linyang iyon. Isa lang masasabi ko, hindi si Hesus ang may kasalanan noon, kundi tayo ring mga tao, masyado tayong marunong at mayabang, ang akala natin kaya na natin ang lahat dahil sabi nga tayo ang superior at pinakamataas na nilalang na nilikha ng Diyos. Tama nga pero ang hindi natin isinasaisip ay lahat may hangganan at mas may nakakataas pa sa atin at eto ay ang lumikha sa atin.

kung minsan masarap mangarap na sana dumating ang pagkakataon na mapunta tayo sa isang paraiso na walang kaguluhan, subalit puro katahimikan at matiwasay ang kapaligiran. Naroroon lahat ang kabutihan at nananatili ang kapayapaan. Subalit malabo itong mangyari. Kung hindi matututo tayong mga tao nang tamang paraan ng pamumuhay, napakalabo na mangyari ang ganitong mundo. Kung patuloy tayo sa ganitong pamumuhay, gulo at karahasan ang ating masasaksihan, pati ang mga kinabukasan ng henerasyon ay naglaho na dahil sa impluwensya ng mundo. Kung minsan naman gusto na nating matulog ng mahimbing at kailanma'y huwag nang magising, subalit hindi rin magawa sa dami ng mga rason. Totoo nga namang napakahirap ang mabuhay sa ibabaw ng mundo.

Hayaan nalang natin darating ang panahon, mararanasan rin natin ang paraiso na para sa atin, ang lugar kung saan nasasa tabi nating ang lumikha at mamumuhay tayo ng walang hanggang kasiyahan at katahimikan. Panahon at pagkakataon lang makapagsasabi kung kailan ito mangyayari. At si Hesus lang ang may kapangyarihan na mangyari ito.

Huwag tayong masyado kabahan sa ating kapalaran, kahit na kung minsan kapalaran ang nagsasabi sa atin kung anong dapat nating gawin. Samakatuwid nasa mga kamay pa rin natin ang ating kapalaran, ang ating kinabukasan, nariyan lang si Hesus upang tayo'y gabayan. Hawak natin ang ating kapalaran kung kaya ingatan natin ito ng mabuti at laging ipasaDiyos ang mga ito.

Magtiwala ka lamang at sa huli makakamit mo ang nais mo.
Darating ang panahon, Kahit papaano, May isang tao, na lubusan kang MAIINTINDIHAN!
