It all started with Eve...
Nakinig sya sa ahas sa Paraiso...at instead na protektahan sya ni Adam sa mga kasinungalingang ikinakalat,
"if this is what the little lady wants, this is what the lady should have.."
ayan..consequence...sin entered into their world and death by sin..
tinangap ni Eba ang hindi dapat tanggapin at tinanggihan ang binigay ng Dyos, instead of His will be done...
sabi nya: My will be done...
Salamat sa Dyos...may redemption!

Nancy Leigh Demoss exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women:
Lies about themselves I should not have to live with unfulfilled longings
Lies about sin: I cannot walk in consistent victory over sin
Lies about their marriage If I submit to my husband, I will be miserable
Lies about their emotions
I can't control my emotions
Lies about their circumstances I just can't take any more
Nancy sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God's grace, forgiveness, and abundant life..

I should not have to live with unfulfilled longings
Kayo po mga sisters...what do you consider as unfulfilled longings?
asawa? anak? magandang career? a strong father figure? a brother/sister?
======================
meron po akong kaibigan, she have been married for 5 years..pero hanggang ngayon wala pa rin silang anak...
tanong ko sa kanya, why not try IVF or artificial insemination...o kaya adoption...
ang sagot nya sa akin... bahala na ang Dyos..
if it is His Will for us not to have a child, then so be it..
yung isa naman...nagpaanak..anak na lang daw...di bale na walang asawa...she does not have to live with unfulfilled longings.. ===================== office mate ko 45 years old na, single pa rin...
ang sabi nya...if it is Will for me to take the path of Single Blessedness...wala akong magagawa
compare ko naman dun sa friend ko na 34 years old...kung ayaw sya pakasalan ng BF nya...live in na lang daw muna...she does not have to live with unfulfilled longings..

bakit po kaya kung alin pa yung pinapagkadasal dasal natin sa Dyos..yun pa ang di ibinibigay?
yung iba may magandang career, zero lovelife naman..kaya bibili na lang daw sya ng boyfriend hehehe!
yung isa kong friend..she married the man of her dreams...may MBA pa sya (ATeneo)..pero till now wala pa rin syang trabaho...di na daw sya makabili ng mga pangKIKAY nya
kaya hayun BILMOKO ang siste nya sa asawa nya...kapag di nabili gusto nya..away sila...

si Maria, yun isa kong friend...married sya sa isang Sea Man..they are blessed financially, she finished her MBA from UP, she is a satisfied engineer, may 2 sya anak...pero ang sabi nya di sya masaya sa asawa nya?
kaya sabi nya..makipagFLIRT na lang sya sa chat room.."Wala namang mawawala"...tutal..Di naman sya mairomance man lang ng asawa nya...
bakit ganun?
some guys have all the luck, some guys have all the pain..some guys do nothing but complain...?

What do women really want?
Do we really have to have it all?
Can we really have it all?
Does God allow us to have it all?
Sa mga ADS sa TV...sabi sa Loreal ..."because you deserved it"!
sabi ng Nike..."Just Do IT"!
meron pang isa " NO fear"!
napaka-subtle po ng deception ni Satan..di kagad mapapansin..

hotty,
ako din...dami kulang sa buhay ko..iniisip ko na lang there is a better place for us...a place where there is no pain and suffering...where all of our heart's longings will be fulfilled...
this is what He wants us to realize...and that we can live with unfulfilled longings...that it is possible to live a vibrant life kahit hindi mapagbigyan ang kaisaisang hinihiling natin sa Knya..
It is possible to live with unfulfilled longings...
How? di ko rin pa po alam...aaralin ko muna...

I think, having it all is subjective, Paris Hilton may have it all but you can only say you have what you wanted within the realms of what you only know, and within those parameters of what you know springs the desire from us basing from what we know.
example:
yung ibang mga taong hindi nakaranas mag internet lalo sa mga remote na probinsya, they donot crave or desire logging in, they even donot know the benefits of the internet ( benefits muna)
example meh ako ang mobile phone ko forever 3315 hahaha pinagtatawanan na meh nitong dalawang kasama ko sa flat kc sila ang mobile phone nila may mp3 na, camera, etc etc... as for me i donot desire a blue tooth or a card reader ni hindi ako masyadong relate sa ganun, while itong mga kasama ko sus hindi mapalagay kc gusto nila ng mas mataas na gegabytes..
hay nakow sabi ko basta call, tex at reminders with clock ok na sa meh yan see?
i have read something about the nomads and their lives are simple, they get their butter, milk etc from the herds they raise samantalang tayo namimili pa sa mga brand ng butter, merong gusto e light, olive goove etc..
bottom line we desire those things which are only known to us, do we have it all? comparing to paris hilton no, but when one talks to paris hilton she could never have the afluence na kaya ni bill gates or hindi niya nanaisin ang martyrdom ni mother teresa

From ruth It is possible to live with unfulfilled longings... How? di ko rin pa po alam...aaralin ko muna
longing? hmm merong mga longings na possible at reachable merong imposible like going back in time nung nasa high skull ka pa yung tour sa buwan? other people can afford and for others it is reachable, pero sa iba hinde..
so depende sa longings naten, if we are realistic people and we know we can reach a star then we do it.

ruth:
good morning! AND HOPE you have a nice weekend! pinagisip mo na naman ako sa post mo hehhee..
naalala ko yung isa kong friend...sabi nya sa akin...bakit hindi ka pa rin tinataasan ng sahod ng boss mo...kung ano-ano na nga ginagawa mo jan sa work mo e...wala ka pa rin increase na sahod...
sabi ko...well I do the tasks involved in my career because I love it..not because I want to get an increase in pay...
sabi nya...but you also have to be assertive...its your right...and you need the increase in pay kasi nadagdagan responsibilities mo...atsaka lagi mo na lang dini-DEPRIVE sarili mo...
sabi ko...bakit mo naman nasabi na I am depriving myself?
kasi daw kuri-kuripot ko...sabi ko masaya naman ako as it is eh...sabi nya...eh kasi you havent tried everything pa e...hindi po na nakikita "what is out there"..what you can achieve..what you can get out of life...
well...being the hard headed me...sabi ko...I dont want to see what is out there...I have gone a long way compared to what I came from.
sabi na lang nya...HAAAY! bahala ka nga...
but her words "I am depriving myself " was in my mind for several days, weeks and months...until finally I tried to do certain things my way...and caused me to SIN...aheheh! mababang kwento na to...change topic...
that is the POWER OF SUGGESTION. My friend does not have any intent to cause me to SIN. But the words she used, suggested things that caused me to SIN...this is another reason why, we always have to be careful about the counsel of friends (even the well meaning ones)...kasi it is subject to interpretation...God already gave us the BIBLE as a guidance for living.
We still have to appreciate our well meaning friends...but we must be careful also and always make sure that our minds and spirit are also renewed regularly by the Bible...or else we will start to conform...and lose our LIFE in Him by just LIVING.

Kapag nahirapan na, ayan! reklamo na... hay buhay.... hotty, do you believe that eternity was planted by God in our hearts? that is why he allowed discontentment? as he allowed evil? that it is part of the Divine plan?

hotty,
that even the most spiritual person will always be discontent in this life...
because the Holy Spirit will only make our hearts content for a minute...for a while...and then we will desire for GreateR Things..
our most common mistake is to get lost in reaching for those goals/desire....instead of focusing on why God made it so...
and that is for us to realize that there is a better place waiting for us...that even if the Holy Spirit is here to guide us and protect us in this LIFE...we will still long to be finally be with Him.. to be able to talk to Him directly..in another dimension...which is not here on earth...

linsi,
salamat sa post mo....again about the POWER of SUGGESTION...
do you believe that aside from the weakness of our flesh, the internet as well as TV is being used by the devil to lure us?
Excessive Entertainment
wastes our time
numbs the mind (watching TV causes ADHD in children)
feeds lust, moral relativism and frivolity
keeps us from reading

TV causes us to desire things we dont even need...
for example:
anyone watched Desperate Housewives?
these desperate housewives are desperate indeed, but their packaging (Eva Longoria = being sexy and alluring) makes us want to tolerate her acts....that somehow it becomes OK to be an adulterress...since everybody is doing it anyway...and the housewife next door is as desperate as she is naman...
kung baga it desentisizes our morals...somehow we get to think it is ok when it is not.

o kaya naman yung tenant ng kaibigan ko ...
ay nagwowork sa PUB...one time dinadala nya yun 5 year old SON nya dito sa Singapore...
every 4pm her BFs( read boyfriends) will fetch her ...may car pa yun ha
both BFs are married na ha>...
and her son is proud of her mom....sabi ba naman...mom ko dalawa BF ...bakit ikaw walang BF? si tito mike ko merong car...sinusundo mom ko lagi...bakit sayo walang sumusundo?
one time sabi ng bata, ate...yun bang office nyo meron ding bilyaran at inuman atsaka naninigarilyo?
huwaaaa!
mommy ko 2pm na umuwi (instead na 2am), kasi nagOVERTIME sya sa OFFICE...
huwaaaa!
and the mom would rationalize her acts by saying, my BFs feed my family in the Philippines.
(nanay ko tatay ko, yung sister ko, hubby ng sister ko at 3 kong pamangking Plus yung anak ko pa...tapos tatay ng anak ko nasa prison)....kung di ako gagawa ng paraan ano mangyayari sa amin???
I need to do this to survive...
tsk!tsk!tsk! tapos yung son nya may game boy, at kung ano anong hi tech gadgets...may sarili na rin cell phone.
mga bags ng mom na ito...branded..pati sapatos...
she tried to rationalize her longings for material things...and that she have to satisfy these longings in order to survive..She did it her way...instead of God;s way...
she sold her soul in order to gain the world...but she became dead spritually.,.
ni hindi sya makapagsimba dahil iniisip nya God will never hear her...

these are LIES of SATAN...and I am not condemning this women....in fact naaawa ako...because they are in BONDAGE...bonded to SIN...
they thought doing what they need to do due to financial and social circumstances is FREEDOM...they havent realized they are in BONDAGE...
and I am hoping they will be set free..
as I was set free...

"I Should not have to life LIFE with UNFULFILLED LONGINGS"
is a LIE!!!
we all have sexual desires, desire for companionship...desire to belong...to FIT IN...be beautiful...famous...rich...have children...a family...but even if these desires are unfulfilled we can still live our LIVES.
we can live a LIFE with God, even if our deepest longings are not fulfilled. He will dispense his armor in order for us to withstand the desire of conforming to popular culture...strength to swim against the tide and courage to defend ourselves from ROARING waves.
First and foremost, He will change us with the changing of the MIND. If your mind is powerful enough to be lured by these ads, it will be powerful enough to detest it...to live the higher way...to take the untrodden path.
This is the TRUTH that will set these WOMEN Free...how can I not share this with them??

the consequence of this woman's sin is a double edged sword...it affects the family and the wife of her BOYFRIENDS...and it affects her SON too...
as you can see...most of the SINs in the world are due to WOMEN's discontent..
when we do things our way...when we tend to satisfy our discontent in ways other than God's we are in deep trouble...
we will listen to Satan's lies (you need a Lacoste bag)....rationalize it (God said, ask and you shall receive)...then you will succumb to the lie...at snatch mo na yung bag (in the same way an adulterer snatches a husband)...
what I am trying to stay is that from discontent stems SIN...so we must guard our hearts, our emotions...our nature..
being discontent is not a SIN...but it can cause us to SIN, if we dont guard our hearts

"we are sinful by nature, our desire for SEX is part of human nature, of man's need to reproduce...saka I love my boyfriend...ikakasal na na naman kami..."
all this comes from our discontentment...we tend to rationalize things..take the shorter way (pleasing our BF)...in order that the BF will be more attracted to us...and therfore marry us...
all these are LIES...we will continue to rationalize..we thought God's laws are meant for us to be controlled, to be in a protected cage....away from WORLDY TRUTHs...from reality...
and therfore we become SLAVEs...slaves of Satan...the lie is so subtle...that we though we are Free...free to choose our fate...that our lives depend on another person, on another human being...
yet we are imprisoned...

the TRUTH is God is always waiting for you, to FREE you, but you have to let go of your favorite SINs first...
you must die...be convicted of your most precious..most rationalized SIN in order that you will have LIFE...to be Free...
SINS are excess baggage...and unless we remove all this clutter...we can never take up something NEW...
we cannot reorganize our lives by continuing to possess things and relationships...without giving up excess baggage or clutter.

the woman I am talking about is not willing to give up her excess baggage (the two married man)..
some of my friends are not willing to give up their attachments to material things (there is nothing wrong with acquiring possessions but attachment to it is IDOLATRY, it is a SIN)....
therefore God cannot Free them..He cannot give them a new LIFE...
but God in His unending mercy will continue to work on them....and that is the TRUTH...
sinful though we are...He will continue to love us...but we would not realize the imensity of such love...unless we free ourselves from the shackles SIN...
again it is not wrong to be DISCONTENT...but it causes us to SIN...

from pbc.org
The book of Ruth is a beautiful story. It contains wonderful instruction and describes people that you'd love to know. It has fascinating details and all sorts of winsomeness. It takes place right in the middle of the period of Israel's history in which we have seen so many leaders of the nation acting foolishly, Levites doing terrible things, and judges being hard-hearted. People did what was right in their own eyes, and there was no bowing of the knee to God. This story ought to teach us something about living as a remnant in our age. It will have many other helpful things to teach us as well.
The Philippines is experiencing the same corruption. Our government is corrupt, our leaders are foolish. Pinoys are doing what is right for them (we have to survive, therefore...magtrabaho sa PUB...maging kabit!)
