Psalm 104 CJB
1 Bless Adonai, my soul! Adonai, my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with glory and majesty,
2 wrapped in light as with a robe. You spread out the heavens like a curtain,
3 you laid the beams of your palace on the water. You make the clouds your chariot,
you ride on the wings of the wind.
4 You make winds your messengers, fiery flames your servants.
5 You fixed the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.
6 You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they rushed away,
8 flowing over hills, pouring into valleys, down to the place you had fixed for them.
9 You determined a boundary they could not cross; they were never to cover the earth again.
10 You make springs gush forth in the vadis; they flow between the hills,
11 supplying water to all the wild animals; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 On their banks the birds of the air build their nests; among the branches they sing.
13 You water the mountains from your palace; the earth is satisfied with how you provide —
14 You grow grass for the cattle; and for people you grow the plants they need
to bring forth bread from the earth,
15 wine that gladdens the human heart, oil to make faces glow, and food to sustain their strength.
16 Adonai’s trees are satisfied —the cedars of the L’vanon, which he has planted.
17 In them sparrows build their nests, while storks live in the fir trees.
18 For the wild goats there are the high mountains, while the coneys find refuge in the rocks.

Avi Yakar,

Glory, Honor, Power and Praise be unto YOU my GOD, Adonai Elohim King of the Universe! My Everlasting! Sar Shalom! Oh Holy One! Toda for everyday that YOU give to me and my family. Yesterday we truly enjoyed Crimson, swimming, walking around the house. Toda for the enjoyment YOU provide for us. LORD, even enjoyment and fun, peace and harmony comes from YOU alone. When YOU bless the family, a family can enjoy. Blessings is not just financial gain, it is peace and joy that comes with it. Father, toda for loving my parents, I pray they will continue to draw close to YOU. I pray they will continue to seek YOU and receive instructions from YOU and abide in YOUR love. Heal them Father, everyday I pray heal all their pain, wounds from the past, heal all their worries and cares because YOU are the ONE who holds all things. YOU are the ONE O GOD, who is protecting us, providing for us, caring for us. Please Father, I pray we will all the more draw closer to YOU, receive from YOU, trust and depend on YOU more than anything, more than ourselves. Father be our everything. Forgive O LORD, my sins, cleanse O GOD from all unrighteousness and make me holy and pure before YOU once again. I need YOU so much O GOD! Renew and Refresh my body, heal me every fiber of my being and enable me to serve YOU with vigor and strength. Take care of us O LORD, we take refuge under YOUR wings. I pray for Dad to have a holy encounter and visitation with YOU. I pray for Mom to be submissive to Dad, I pray for their marriage to be refreshed and restored by YOUR love. I pray the same for Cez and Mary Grace Dela Pena. I pray YOU heal and restore them, their love, their commitment, their gratefulness to YOU.  

Exodus 14 (ii) 

9 The Egyptians went after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, with his cavalry and army, and overtook them as they were encamped by the sea, by Pi-Hachirot, in front of Ba‘al-Tz’fon. 10 As Pharaoh approached, the people of Isra’el looked up and saw the Egyptians right there, coming after them. In great fear the people of Isra’el cried out to Adonai 11 and said to Moshe, “Was it because there weren’t enough graves in Egypt that you brought us out to die in the desert? Why have you done this to us, bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn’t we tell you in Egypt to let us alone, we’ll just go on being slaves for the Egyptians? It would be better for us to be the Egyptians’ slaves than to die in the desert!” 13 Moshe answered the people, “Stop being so fearful! Remain steady, and you will see how Adonai is going to save you. He will do it today — today you have seen the Egyptians, but you will never see them again! 14 Adonai will do battle for you. Just calm yourselves down!”

Abba Yakar,

YOU are glorious O GOD! In the midst of trouble YOU are able to show YOUR great and mighty hand at work. Father, let me always trust YOU and keep my eyes on YOU, not on people on circumstances or anything. O GOD Almighty! Remove every fear and worry from our hearts because YOU are the same GOD who took care of Israel, YOU are also taking care of us!

Judges 7

2 Adonai said to Gid‘on, “There are too many people with you for me to hand Midyan over to them, because I don’t want Isra’el to be able to boast against me, ‘We saved ourselves by our own strength.’ 3 Therefore, proclaim to the people ‘Anyone who is anxious or afraid should go back home, while we stay here on Mount Gil‘ad.’” Twenty-two thousand returned, but ten thousand remained.
4 Adonai said to Gid‘on, “There are still too many people. Have them come down to the water, and there I will screen them for you. If I say of anyone, ‘This one is for you,’ he will go with you; and if I say, ‘This one is not for you,’ he won’t go with you.” 5 So he brought the people down to the water, and Adonai said to Gid‘on, “Put to one side everyone who laps up water with his tongue the way a dog does, and put to the other side everyone who gets down on his knees to drink.” 6 Three hundred lapped, putting their hand to their mouth; all the rest of the men got down on their knees to drink water. 7 Adonai said to Gid‘on, “I will use the three hundred men who lapped the water to save you; I will hand Midyan over to you. Let all these others go back home.” 8 So they took the provisions and the shofars of the people; then he sent all the men of Isra’el away, each to his tent. But the three hundred men he kept.
The camp of Midyan was in the valley below him. 9 That night Adonai said to him, “Get up and attack the camp, because I have handed it over to you. 10 But if you are afraid to attack, go down with your servant Purah; 11 and after you hear what they are saying, you will have the courage to attack the camp.” So with his servant Purah he went down to the outposts of the camp. 12 Now Midyan, ‘Amalek and all the others from the east had settled in the valley as thick as locusts; their camels too were beyond counting, like the sand on the seashore. 13 Gid‘on got there just as a man was telling a comrade about a dream he had had: “I just now dreamt that a loaf of barley bread fell into the camp of Midyan, came to the tent and struck it so hard that it overturned the tent and knocked it flat.” 14 His comrade answered, “This can only be the sword of Gid‘on son of Yo’ash, a man of Isra’el. God has given Midyan and all its army into his hands.”
15 When Gid‘on heard the dream and its interpretation, he fell on his knees in worship. Then he returned to the camp of Isra’el and said, “Get up! because Adonai has handed Midyan’s army over to you.” 16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He put in the hands of all of them shofars and empty pitchers with torches in them. 17 Then he said to them, “Watch me, and do what I do. When I get to the edge of the camp, whatever I do, you do the same. 18 When I and everyone with me blow the shofar, then you blow your shofars all around the whole camp, and shout, “For Adonai and for Gid‘on!”

Dear Avi,

Great are YOU O GOD!!! YOU provide everything for our victory! How YOU even spoke to Gideon and how YOU chose only a few men to bring glory and victory unto YOU. Avi Yakar! Great is YOUR Name! YOU alone are worthy to be praised and YOUR Kingdom come, YOUR will be done here on earth as it is in heaven! Toda Raba Abba!!! For everything YOU are doing! O LORD YOU are our everything! 

Joel 1
1 The word of Adonai that came to Yo’el the son of P’tu’el:
2 “Hear this, you leaders! Listen, all who live in the land!
Has anything like this ever happened in your days, or in your ancestors’ days?
3 Tell your children about it, and have them tell it to theirs,
and have them tell the next generation.
4 What the cutter-worms left, the locusts ate;
what the locusts left, the grasshoppers ate;
what the grasshoppers left, the shearer-worms ate.
5 Wake up, drunkards, and weep! wail, all you who drink wine,
because the juice of the grape will be withheld from your mouth.
6 For a mighty and numberless nation has invaded my land.
His teeth are lion’s teeth; his fangs are those of a lioness.
7 He has reduced my vines to waste, my fig trees to splinters —
he plucked them bare, stripped their bark and left their branches white.” 

8 Lament like a virgin wearing sackcloth for the husband of her youth!
9 Grain offering and drink offering are cut off from the house of Adonai.
The cohanim are mourning, those who are serving Adonai.
10 The fields are ruined, the ground is grieving; for the grain is ruined, the new wine dried up,
and the olive oil is wretched.
13 Cohanim, put on sackcloth, and weep! Wail, you who serve at the altar!
Come, lie in sackcloth all night long, you who serve my God!
For the grain offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Proclaim a holy fast, call for a solemn assembly, gather the leaders
and all who live in the land to the house of Adonai your God, and cry out to Adonai, 
15 “Oh no! The Day! The Day of Adonai is upon us!
As destruction from Shaddai it is coming!
16 The food is cut off before our very eyes, also joy and gladness from the house of our God.
17 The seed-grain is rotting in its furrows; the granaries are deserted, the barns in ruins;
because the grain has withered.
18 How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture.
The flocks of sheep bear the punishment, too.
19 Adonai, I cry out to you! For the fire has consumed the pastures in the desert,
and the flame set ablaze all the trees in the fields.
20 Even the wild animals come to you, panting, because the streambeds have dried up,
and fire has consumed the pastures in the desert.”

Dear Avi,

O LORD our GOD! YOu are the ONE who provides all things! YOU are the ONE who protects everything and YOU permit even bad things to happen in the land. But Not when YOUR servants do not allow it. O GOD Almighty, have mercy, on YOUR people. Have mercy on us O GOD! Take care of us Father! We depend on YOU. Avi, I pray that YOU will bring peace to Dad's mind, help him to trust in YOU. Help him to focus on YOU. Father please take care of him and speak to his mind, calm him, give him peace because the enemy is making him worry and if there is something to worry about then help us LORD to heed what YOU want done. So we can always be victorious in YOU. Give us wisdom LORD, to move and act according to YOUR Will because YOU always have what is best for us.

Luke 17
1 Yeshua said to his talmidim, “It is impossible that snares will not be set. But woe to the person who sets them! 2 It would be to his advantage that he have a millstone hung around his neck and he be thrown into the sea, rather than that he ensnare one of these little ones. 3 Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 Also, if seven times in one day he sins against you, and seven times he comes to you and says, ‘I repent,’ you are to forgive him.” 5 The emissaries said to the Lord, “Increase our trust.” 6 The Lord replied, “If you had trust as tiny as a mustard seed, you could say to this fig tree, ‘Be uprooted and replanted in the sea!’ and it would obey you. 7 If one of you has a slave tending the sheep or plowing, when he comes back from the field, will you say to him, ‘Come along now, sit down and eat’? 8 No, you’ll say, ‘Get my supper ready, dress for work, and serve me until I have finished eating and drinking; after that, you may eat and drink.’ 9 Does he thank the slave because he did what he was told to do? No! 10 It’s the same with you — when you have done everything you were told to do, you should be saying, ‘We’re just ordinary slaves, we have only done our duty.’”
26 “Also, at the time of the Son of Man, it will be just as it was at the time of Noach. 27 People ate and drank, and men and women married, right up until the day Noach entered the ark; then the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, as it was in the time of Lot — people ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built; 29 but the day Lot left S’dom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 That is how it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, if someone is on the roof with his belongings in his house, he must not go down to take them away. Similarly, if someone is in the field, he must not turn back — 32 remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever aims at preserving his own life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will stay alive. 34 I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed — one will be taken and the other left behind. 35 There will be two women grinding grain together — one will be taken and the other left behind.” 36 [a]
37 They asked him, “Where, Lord?” He answered, “Wherever there’s a dead body, that’s where the vultures gather.”

 

Luke 17:28 Likewise, as it was in the time of Lot — people ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built; 29 but the day Lot left S’dom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 That is how it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 

Joel 1:19 Adonai, I cry out to you! For the fire has consumed the pastures in the desert,
and the flame set ablaze all the trees in the fields.
20 Even the wild animals come to you, panting, because the streambeds have dried up,
and fire has consumed the pastures in the desert.”

Dear Avi,

O GOD Almighty! YOU are all consuming fire! YOU are jealous O GOD but YOU have every right to be because YOU are so full of love. YOU are the very essense of love. O GOD Almighty, I see here twice YOU are telling me that YOU are about to consume this world with YOUR HOLY FIRE. I've been learning from the Bible Study with Julie, this unkown bible study full of wisdom is truly a gift from YOU! Toda for giving me this class to learn from. One year is passing by so quickly and I am thankfully awaiting YOUR Kingdom to come and YOUR will to be done. But the fire, they teach us from the Bible is not actual fire but it is YOUR WORD, it's like that cleanses and purifies us from sin. Avi, I pray awake my Spirit once again, why does my eyes feel drowsy? Why am I sleepy when I am spending time with YOU? It has never been like this. I don't want to need so much sleep because sleep even though it will be good for my body, it is only good at night, not in the morning. So awaken me and rise up in my Spirit. Do not let me go to sleep not understanding YOUR move, not following through YOUR Will, not being overcome by YOUR Spirit. O LORD, I depend on YOU and I am asking YOU will never leave me on my own to myself. Please be here with me Father. Please Father. Take care of me of my family, take care of my husband and his family, wherever he may be, speak to him.

9. My husband to mature in faith, strong in the spirit of GOD, obedient, faithful in hearing and studying YOUR WORD, listening to YOU and quick to carry out YOUR will. Father, help us not to lax in our faith but to be vigilant and to watch and pray for YOUR kingdom to come and will to be done. Bless my husband, whoever he is, let him come to me Father and both of us and enable us to serve YOUR Kingdom purpose on earth. O GOD Almighty, bring him to me and prepare our wedding. Prepare us for the glorious work YOU have for us.

10. For President Donald Trump to be re-elected in the US as 46th President, for President Duterte to submit to YOUR will and be vigorous in serving the country as he did before, strengthen him Father with YOUR Ruach Hakodesh, give him an administration that will continue his agenda for the Philippines even if he is not the President but give him a successor be it his daughter Sara or Manny Paquiao or Bongbong Marcos Jr. Father, prepare YOUR chosen leaders to rule this country. Have YOUR way and remove every form of corruption in our Nation LORD. Keep your beloved son Rodrigo Duterte fit and healthy LORD, I pray YOU will restore his health, his mind, his body to Shalom!

Toda Raba for always hearing every prayer and petition. Toda for YOUR mercy and kindness O GOD. YOU are so faithful to forgive even our smallest or big sins. Purify and cleanse us all through and through. Father keep us in the center of YOUR will. DO not allow YOUR enemies to win over us.

20:00

Dear Avi,

HOLY HOLY HOLY are YOU Adonai Elohim Tzeva'ot!!! King of the Universe, My Everlasting!!! My GOD, the ONE I depend on, I thank YOU for this day that I was able to bond with siblings, I thank YOU because YOU are with us, keeping us, taking care of us. Avi, I have concerns that I want to bring to YOU, please Avi, something is lost, money for the employees who want to borrow from the Company and we want to help them. But the money is gone, it was supposed to be with Kuya Jun. I pray Avi, that YOU would bring it back to us, help us to find that money because it's not good to loose money. Father, I ask that YOU cover me right now with YOUR holy presence, as I sit here and commune with YOU, please Avi speak to me, feed my Spirit with YOUR touch, with YOUR love. I need YOU.

Psalm 104
19 You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.
20 You bring darkness, and it is night, the time when all forest animals prowl.
21 The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God.
22 The sun rises, they slink away and lie down to rest in their dens;
23 while people go out to their work, laboring on till evening.
24 What variety there is in your works, Adonai! How many [of them there are]!
In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creations.
25 Look at the sea, so great, so wide! It teems with countless creatures,
living beings, both large and small.
26 The ships are there, sailing to and fro; Livyatan, which you formed to play there.
27 All of them look to you to give them their food when they need it.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it; when you open your hand, they are well satisfied.
29 If you hide your face, they vanish; if you hold back their breath, they perish
and return to their dust.
30 If you send out your breath, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of Adonai last forever! May Adonai rejoice in his works!
32 When he looks at the earth, it trembles; when he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke.
33 I will sing to Adonai as long as I live, sing praise to my God all my life.
34 May my musings be pleasing to him; I will rejoice in Adonai.
35 May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more! Bless Adonai, my soul!
Halleluyah!

Hallelujah indeed Adonai! Praise be unto YOU alone. For if YOU can manage the huge complicated system of the world, then YOU can manage even the smallest of things and YOU know exactly where that money is misplaced and YOU know where we can find it and how we can find it but Avi, I ask enable us to find it. Locate it and bring it to us O GOD, bring us to it perhaps. I come to YOU Adonai coz YOU alone know and YOU are sovereign GOD!!!

I also come to YOU Avi, locate the man YOU have chosen for me to Marry, and help him to locate me. Relocate him for a while to be in Cebu and let YOUR will be done unto us real soon. Avi, toda for preparing us this long because YOU are faithful and YOU want to make sure we are able to handle all our gifts during marriage. I pray YOU will at least make us communicate with one another, be friends. I pray we could be friends now and I don't have to feel anything for now. But I pray bring us together Avi, make our paths cross once again. We don't have to decide to marry right away, please let me be friends with him now. Please let him reach out to me. And even if we decide to marry right away I pray that YOU will lead us to the paths YOU have prepare for us O GOD. Let YOUR will be done O GOD! Father, cover us with the blood of YESHUA, wherever he is right now, guide his steps and lead him to me. I pray we will for live here in Cebu for a while.. then go to live in Manila soon. For I believe this is YOUR will for me. But it's just right now, I don't know anyone, and I don't have any vision that I can cling to like before. But I cling to YOU Avi, I pray that my husband clings to YOU even more. Set him apart to be mine and make him HOLY like YOU O GOD, just like YOU are making me holy and setting me apart unto YOU always everyday. O GOD Almighty, change my heart if I am wrong or leaning towards the wrong path, change it and keep my steps walking straight and forward towards YOUR will. Toda O GOD that Reynaldo is coming home to be with Arlene and Hart soon. Toda because I believe as he comes my husband will come to me too.
