How far Your Faith Will Go?

Chapter 5

    "Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?"
Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.        

                             Matthew 18:21-22 ."

    "Kalawang dugo. Dagta. Mga mantsang bangungot ng naglalaba. Totoo kaya ang pangako ng mga sabong panlaba na hindi lang daw matatanggal ang mantsa, magmumukha bago pa ang damit? Higit pa riyan ang pangako ni Jesus kapag magbabalik loob tayo at susuko sa kanya bilang ating Panginoon at Tagapagligtas. Hindi lang Niya basta tatanggalin ang mantsa ng kasalanan, bibigyan pa Niya tayo ng bagong puso. At nagsisimula ito sa pagpapahayag ng pag-amin sa kasalanan."

         Nakapaloob ito sa one2one lesson.

           

SEBBY's POV.               

     

      
         I let Axel calm his anger first. I always remind him, but I don't immediately surprise him to release forgiveness.

   It’s easy to utter a word, but actually hard to do. Until I find the time, he will tell me what to do.

     I am also spiritually ready for whatever happens. They already know Pastora Gel about Axel because I've already told them. They already knew what I was going to do so they also declared an annointing for me. Rina, Matthew, and Pastora laid hands on me and prayed before they left for another seminar.

      " Alam kong mahirap 'to sayo. Pero tandaan mo, nagpadala padin ang Panginoon ng tao para tumulong sa'yo... Axel, I know it's hard to release forgiveness especially when you've sinned so much ... But do you know what Christ said in Matthew 18: 21-22? We need to forgive not just seven times, but seventy -seven. That no matter how many times they have sinned against you and asked for forgiveness, you still need to forgive them. Nagpatawad nga yung Diyos sa'tin tayo pa kaya na tao lang!"

       "Hindi madali ang gagawin natin... pero ang gusto ko lang gawin mo, mag-focus ka sa Panginoon. Humingi ka ng tawad, makipag-usap ka sa kanya at makikinig siya!"

      "Don't you want to get rid of how you feel? Axel, this is the way for you to get through that. Ask God for forgiveness, ask for a new heart! "

     I can already notice the emotion in him. His tears were starting to flow down his cheeks. Its sobbing as if you are the only one to be pitied. He closed his eyes, while continuing to cry.

    "It wasn't God who gave you pain and anger- it was satan who did nothing to destroy God's people! Hatred ... That's one of satan's weapons so you can't get away from him. So I'm telling you, release forgiveness! "

      "Just pray... Makipag-usap ka sa ating Panginoon. Ito na yung panahon para mapalapit ka na sa kanya... In Jesus name... In Jesus name..."

   Lumapit ako sa kinauupuan niya at humarap dito para i-lay hands siya...
