So, yours truly is using this funny caption denoting martial arts for evangelistic purpose
DATE: April 4, 2024 (Thursday) — So, I happen to see this martial arts comedy movie, and watched it a little bit, and was given an idea for a probable short video of the same type; then I thought of posting an article about it. So, this is the result – a comical title that sounds like martial arts, “Yu Kang (Du It)”.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12).
Our struggles aren’t against natural humans, but against spiritual beings, evil spirits; sinful nature/flesh, and the fallen world system. And we are engaged in a fight, a life long fight, against an unseen enemy/enemies.
GOD’s grace for the missions outreach at this nation, Uzbekistan
DATE: February 2, 2024 ( Friday) — All things by the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY’s grace in CHRIST JESUS. The picture above is my Facebook on my regular update post ion significant events in the life that the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has been giving me (in the LORD JESUS). Click here to go to my Facebook page. Everything by the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY’s grace in CHRIST JESUS giving me strength, guidance, protection, everything I needed to accomplish HIS good, perfect, and righteous will in CHRIST JESUS.
My mission team and myself were ministering to the nation (Uzbekistan) sharing the gospel, the divine and perfect care /love for the lost specially in the unreached nations. This part of the ministry was done during the winter season (January). The mission team’s secondary goal was to give medical treatments to the people there at Uzbekistan (specially the poor and the needy), as in our case, those who are disadvantages and disabled, a community of dumb and deaf families who can not read nor write, and who communicates only by means of sign language. Our team took care of their physical (medical) and spiritual needs through the hands and heart of the SAVIOUR, the LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world, even the LORD JESUS.
“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall HE come forth unto ME that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”
DATE: December 23, 2023 (Saturday) – It is that time of the year where the world celebrates this one day commemorating the birth of the CHRIST child.
So, I thought it proper to post the nativity video above depicting the birth of the MESSIAH, GOD the SON (Emmanuel, GOD with us).
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government shall be upon HIS shoulder: and HIS name be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.”
DATE: December 13, 2023 (Wednesday)— once again, yours truly (me) has been given day of the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY’s infinite grace in CHRIST JESUS. And I have been using each day doing the ministry that the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has allowed me to have, i.e. the gospel tract distribution, street preaching broadcasting through my portable loudspeaker, and my gospel display board daily on week days, as well as the gospel door hangers (which I haven’t really done lately).
Anyway, I have been making several gospel videos lately, and have been uploading them in my YouTube site – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTa2Hba7ZY7Qea7UVSLsabg. It was about four years ago, March 2019, since the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has shown me great mercies in giving me a second chance at serving HIM, full-time. And I was given grace to go to different nations to share the good news to mostly Islamic nations, such as Turkiye, Israel/Palestine, and Iraq. And this coming January of next year (2024), by the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY’s grace, I am going to share the gospel of the LORD JESUS to the people in Uzbekistan. In the meantime, I have been struggling with my personal Bible study of the book of Amos. I have been trying to figure out just how I would go about this prophetic book. It is just so amazing how accurate the images of the future events were portrayed by the prophet that will overtake the different nations.
DATE: November 4, 2023 (Saturday) — and the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has given me another day of HIS infinite grace in CHRIST JESUS. So, it took me this long to update this my WordPress site. My last post was last year, June 28. I have been bogged down with daily routine, hopefully not too much complacency. By the gracious and tender mercies of the LORD GOD FATHER in heaven in CHRIST JESUS, I got to do the gospel tracts distribution (by the FATHER’s faithfulness), and got to record it at my Facebook pages, and my MeWe pages.
Nonetheless, there were plenty of activities in that time span. Yours truly was busy doing the ministry (gospel video preaching, gospel display board, and gospel tracts handouts). Then there was the renovations in the apartment that the blessed LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has undeservedly blessed me with. Also, they completely changed the top floor, and made a computer room for the residents to use.
Yours truly is here at the library trying to do my regular daily personal Bible study (using my Dell Chromebook laptop). But I was contemplating of things including the ministry that the blessed LORD GOD has given me here in Jersey City. I am so indefinitely grateful/indebted to my GOD and my SAVIOUR the LORD JESUS for all these unbelievable things/gifts that HE showers on me every day. There was this concern I have on the activities here like the every day full-time ministry after having done the 2 week missions evangelism globally (Turkey) in the 1040 nation. What I was thinking (intentionally) of doing with the full-time ministry that the blessed LORD GOD has allowed me to do is full-time service (all-out) in a mission field (foreign). But at the present time, I am still here even after the March 22, 2019 turn around for the full-time ministry. And it has been 3 years since. Nevertheless, the blessed LORD GOD has allowed me to service HIM in a small way at Turkey (for two weeks). In the meantime, I am now doing regular Bible study with a JIL (JESUS is LORD) Bible study group on Tuesdays, and InterCP FO (Field Operation) prayer fellowship on Sunday evenings, and doing the FACRC (Filipino American Christian Reformed Church) church bulletin. And LORD willing, I will be going t Israel to do another two weeks of evangelism ministry.

So, yours truly is doing my personal Bible study of the book of Amos (and Revelation). I used this book as our scripture reading for the Sunday FO prayer fellowship (since I was familiar with it). The prophet Amos started out telling us his timeline – in whose reign he was ministering, namely Uzziah of Judah, and Jeroboam 2nd of Israel; and with the “roaring” of the judgments of the different Gentile nations, as well as those of the two kingdoms of the LORD, which are Judah and Israel.
GOD’s HOLY WORD – “All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of GOD may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Hello
DATE: February 12, 2022 (Saturday) – To GOD be all the glory in all things in CHRIST JESUS. So, by the infinite grace of the blessed LORD GOD, FATHER in heaven (in CHRIST JESUS), more than one Bible studies are being done my me in both the Old and New Testaments – which are in the books of the harmony of the gospels, and the book of Acts, as well as the book of Exodus, etc… I have been pondering just how or what I can do or use to further my Bible study of the ones that I have been given the grace to do, like the book of Exodus, Numbers, harmony of the gospels, the book of Acts, and Revelation. My study that I do using my Angelfire web site, which was a great way, until I got charged with a heave fee from my bank due to an overdraft with the Angelfire automatic withdrawal payment. That sort of messed me up with my bank account. So, now, the blessed LORD GOD gave me this idea of using my WordPress account. Thank YOU, O LORD GOD in CHRIST JESUS.
“Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it” (Isaiah 13:17)
As the blessed LORD GOD, FATHER in heaven gives HIS infinite grace in CHRIST JESUS without constraint, so has HE given me HIS amazing grace to go and minister to “the uttermost parts of the earth”.
It was about three years ago that the undeserved and glorious grace and tender mercies of the LORD GOD in CHRIST JESUS got a hold of my heart like that of Jeremiah’s “fire in my bones”, and won’t let go until HIS faithfulness showed itself in my going by faith to kick start the “gospel tracts distribution” ministry, along with the “gospel tracts distribution”; then just recently, the “10/40 Window nations” ministry, and LORD willing, full-time missions.
You see, it is never me or my, but GOD who is faithful – Deuteronomy 7:9. And as the LORD JESUS is GOD the SON, and is one with the FATHER, and the HOLY SPIRIT, He is well able to keep us – John 6:37. So, despite my “handicaps” (being overweight, and slow), the LORD gave me the strength to do the ministry; providing me with HIS daily grace and mercies in CHRIST JESUS. There were the ever-intrusive “fears” that the blessed LORD GOD had me overcome (like possible health complications when flying – which turned out to be just “fears”, and nothing more!) Then there is the finances “problem”. That too turned out to be inconsequential. As Dr. Charles Stanley used to say, “Obey GOD and leave the consequences to HIM”.
Then there are the seeming “problems” when you get into the field. I can think of one that is obvious, and that is the language barrier. I speak, write, and understand English and Tagalog (national language of the Philippines), but I never spoken nor understood “Turkish”. The missionaries there did try to teach us some basic words, but it is little help when you are actually talking to real people. So, as an answer to our prayers/needs, the blessed LORD GOD directed us to people who speak English as well as Turkish. Also there is the need for extreme pre-caution which was inculcated in our brains before we even got to the field – that you can not just share the good news because of the possible secret police activity. Nevertheless, it is (that ministry there) by GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT’s leading. Like one of our team who actually witnessed to a policeman who very kindly gave him and another team member a ride back to our hotel.
Just as what the WORD of GOD said, “Not by might, nor by power, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the LORD of HOST.” (Zechariah 4:6).
A picture of the gospel tracts I use for the ministry – gospel tract distribution.
“But to us there is but one GOD, the FATHER, of whom are all things, and we in HIM, and one LORD JESUS CHRIST, by whom are all things, and we by HIM.” (1 Corinthians 8:6)
So, yours truly is presently doing full-time ministry (by the blessed LORD GOD’s grace and extended tender mercies in CHRIST JESUS), and is engaged every day, every time I watch my contemporaries (people who are believers who are engaged in full-time ministries whom I know who went to school and attended the same church with me at the same place that I was [same time], and are now doing far better than yours truly [me]). I can still remember when I was attending school the one contemporary who was at the same dormitory, and the same room as me, who was my dorm hall monitor – who is now pastoring a great church. And the other contemporaries who attended the same church I did back then (in the days), and are now serving as pastor and wife in the Philippines [as missionaries who committed their lives to the full-time service of the LORD – and are being so blessed by the LORD with a flourishing church].
And here I am just barely starting.
It was two years ago that the blessed LORD GOD has placed HIS “fire in my bones” grace and tender mercies in the LORD JESUS that prompted me to surrender to full-time service of the LORD GOD, the LORD JESUS, SAVIOUR/KING/CREATOR. You see yours truly was working two jobs then just to make ends meet – Fed Ex as a package handler and Papa John as pizza delivery driver. Then that “fire in my bones” was placed in my heart and it kept burning ever so, until yours truly decided to go full-time. Mind you, I was putting gospel tracts in cars and wherever I can then while working secular jobs. Then I was thinking to myself – LORD, how can I do full-time when I am working two jobs? Then the answer came as a blessing in disguise – CHF (congestive heart failure)! I wasn’t taking care of myself as I should (eating junk foods), and I developed CHF [congestive heart failure]. And I called in at work to tell them that I was checking in at the hospital. So I went. I was hospitalized for a whole week, and then it struck me – this is it. I won’t be going back to secular work anymore. I am going full-time in the ministry.
And from there on, things started falling into place. I got disability by the skin of my teeth (all by the good LORD GOD’s grace in CHRIST JESUS); and am now getting my retirement benefits.
All well and good, except my contemporaries were doing much better than me. My two friends are now serving the LORD as pastor and wife in a growing ministry – the pastor engaged in pastor-teaching with a great church in the Philippines, and his wife running a thriving garden ministry. They were into the ministry from 2015-2016 (5 or so years already). And the other contemporary is now pastoring a large conservative church in Texas. He has a nice family, and is a pastor-teacher who has been in the ministry since he left school (same university I attended) since 1984 (if I am not mistaken). He was serving as assistant pastor in Dr. John MacArthur’s church for a few years (about 17 years) until he served in his own church now (from 2003 which totals 35 or so years).
And here I am just two years into the ministry, and these people were into it for so many years and looks illustrious/prominent – the LORD blessing them with so much. Yours truly has been going out handing out gospel tracts almost every day (not to boast because it is all GOD’s infinite grace in CHRIST JESUS – GOD’s faithfulness), and I have very little to show for it. But there is the one thing that sticks out in all these – and that is, the very LORD GOD they serve is the very same LORD GOD I serve. We all serve the same GOD. Their GOD is my GOD. Their LORD is my LORD. What the LORD GOD does for them HE can do for me!
“And walk in love, as CHRIST also hath loved us, and hath given HIMSELF for us an offering and a sacrifice to GOD for a sweetsmelling savour.” (Ephesians 5:2)
It’s Sunday, and it’s the LORD’s day – so yours truly has taken the precious time to share this message; sort of my Sunday sermon. So, yours truly (me) has been studying the Old Testament book of Leviticus in a regular Bible study session with a friend, and has been confronting the horrible truth about ourselves (our nature) as sinful and fallen creatures. I learned that there were at least five offerings given by the people of Israel as sacrifices to the LORD GOD, who is holy, pure, and perfect. There is the burnt offering, mentioned first in the first chapter of the book of Leviticus. Then there is the grain offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.
But before I continue, I must needs back track to when the LORD GOD revealed HIMSELF to Moses (back at the book of Exodus). If you are familiar with the Bible, GOD’s HOLY WORD, you know that the LORD GOD, the great CREATOR, has revealed HIMSELF to very few (at least to one person) throughout human history, Adam (and Eve), Cain (and Abel), then to Noah, then to Abraham – out of millions of millions of people. And with that changed, and continue to change the devastating course of human lives – and with that changing it for the better. You see, the blessed LORD GOD/CREATOR could have left us to ourselves to continue to destroy ourselves, or better yet, the LORD GOD could’ve destroyed us (which HE did with the global flood – Genesis 6) completely and HE would have been completely justified. The LORD GOD owns everything, and HE has the complete and uncontested right to do what HE wants with HIS creation. But, HE didn’t. GOD chose to save mankind (us). And HE chose to use one man to bring about HIS great salvation, namely Abraham. Through his lineage will come the MESSIAH – Matthew 1.
But going back to the offerings in the book of Leviticus, this was given by the LORD GOD to Moses as revelation of HIS nature, a holy and perfect sinless ALMIGHTY. And this is the way to worship HIM. You see, the people of Moses’ time, or even of Abraham’s time do not know the one true GOD. The millions of people on earth were idolaters – worshipping several gods that they do not even know; idols who can not see, speak nor listen/hear them. Even Abraham was an idolater before the one true GOD called/revealed HIMSELF to him (Joshua 24:2). So for the people of the earth to know the one true GOD, who despite showing HIMSELF through HIS creation:
“Because that which may be known of GOD is manifest in them; for GOD hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and GODHEAD; so that they are without excuse:” (Romans 1:19-20).
the LORD GOD picked/chose one man, Moses, out of the many children of Israel, and out of the many millions of people on earth, to reveal HIMSELF – both to the chosen people, Israel, and to the whole world. Most importantly, the blessed LORD GOD revealed to Moses to way for people to approach and worship the one true GOD.
