PAG LITERAL NA MASAKIT (Going through sickness)

"But He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED."
Isaiah 53:5

So the Lord let me through an intense PHYSICAL TEST. Ngayon na lang ulit nangyari sa akin ito. I was admitted in the hospital for almost a week. I don't know what was happening but I know He is in control.

Paano nga ba? Pag literal ng masakit? Ngayon ko lang naencounter ulit to, siguro kasi gagamitin ni Lord yung life ko to HEAL as well! (God works for our best talaga). Most commonly kasi yung mga test na pinapadaan sa akin ni Lord are mental, social, emotional. Sa physical nag-focus si Lord ngayon at syempre nagtagumpay na naman si Lord 😏 Talo ako lagi sa kaniya.

Paano pag literal na masakit na? Masakit na yung ulo? Masakit na ung tyan? Ano nang gagawin?

Nung una, nataranta rin ako. Since may sakit ako, naging excuse yun para di ako makapagpray, WHICH IS A MISTAKE! Mali pala yung pag may sakit ka, ipagpapaliban mo ang faith mo. Dapat all the more na kumakapit tayo kay Lord. Dapat all the more na nagpipray tayo. All the more mas sineseek natin si Lord in our sickness. Hindi yung sineset aside natin si Lord.

Sabi nga sa Jeremiah 17:4, "Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise."

We must learn to call upon the name of the Lord. So paano? Anong gagawin pag may masakit na literally?

1. P R A Y

Hindi yan mawawala sa listahan, syempre! Yan ang unang-una. Nung nagkasakit ako, nagkaroon ako ng anxiety yung tipong hindi ako makatulog. I always call upon Jesus. Pagkapray ko, nagiging peaceful yung katawan ko tapos nakakatulog na ako. Pray, di dahil sa may kailangan ka lang. Pray kasi alam mo na JESUS CARES. ❤

2. P U R P O S E

Madaling humiling ng healing from the Lord but don't forget to ask WHAT. Ask what God wants you to understand. Wag mo iblame si Lord na 'bakit mo ako binigyan ng sakit' pero itanong mo 'Lord, anong gusto mong ituro sa akin Lord?' Don't ask him WHY, ask Him WHAT. Sa akin, marami tinuro sa akin si Lord such as relying on Him for strength and holding onto Him for provision.

3. P R A I S E

SYEMPRE, pinagaling man o hindi, praise the Lord pa rin. Aba, pababayaan ka ba niya? When he gave you a thorn in the flesh, it means he knows that you'll trust in Him. Remember Paul? He has been asking God to remove a "thorn in his flesh" but God reminded him that: "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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
O di ba, kay Lord lagi ang credits. Still, believe in Faith that you will be healed. Remember that it only TAKES YOUR FAITH to step into a MIRACLE.

Most important lesson here is that, we must not overwork our bodies. Minsan tayo rin may kasalanan bakit tayo nagkakasakit. But most of the time, it is the work of the devil. It was stated in Ephesians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms." That's why we always need to APPLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

4. P O W E R

Syempre bawal mawala ang POWER ni Lord dito. Ito ang pinaka kailangan natin. Use the power of His blood. According to theologians, yung blood na dumaloy sa likod ni Jesus ay ang blood na we use in faith to heal any physical pain. Anak ka niya, gamitin mo kapangyarihan niya! It's the most effective, mas effective pa sa BIOGESIC 😂

Still, in the end, we must still be responsible of the bodies we have. Iwas iwas sa sakit dahil temple of the Holy Spirit ka, kapatid.

"Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

O di ba, kay Lord ang katawan natin kaya dapat natin pangalagaan. Ilapit natin agad sa kaniya pag may sakit. He alone knows what to do. ❤
