3 Various nuggets of Golden Rhemas

1. The JOY RIVER is Essential to Abundant Life.

Like most people, I've searched for Joy and happiness in many different places and nooks and crannies.

I've looked for it in people, in friends, loved ones, gadgets, pleasure, religion, and through music.

I know there are different levels and classifications of happiness but there will only be one joy that will have an unending and unfailing stream and that is what kind of Joy I've found.

We find Joy when we find our purpose and that is having a deep intimate relationship with our God and knowing hot to love and be loved by Him.


2. LIFESTYLE EVANGELISM

It all comes out of a love for God.
We must introduce Jesus to everyone we meet because Jesus is a part of our life.

It's out of our love for God that we become a daily witness.
Our Christianity is not a one hour show but a lifestyle for a lifetime.
The way you live is to reveal the goodness of God.

What is the Father's Business?

It's sharing the goodness of God. Telling people about God’s forgiveness and how Jesus’ blood will wash their sins daily as they receive Christ's gift of himself.

Evangelism is loving people, sharing Jesus, telling them that Jesus cares about their life. You have to be willing to be a witness.

Something that you have seen or heard and you provide evidence.

You have to be willing to be embarrassed, rejected and to be shamed because of the gospel. He knows what rejection is like. Jesus was rejected many times while He was on the earth.

Witness comes from the word "martyr"

We have to lay down our life for other people.

Rom 1:16 “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. It is the power of God unto salvation."

1. Willing
2. Witness

The way you live is a witness.
I die to my desires and my will because I desire the will of God in my life.
Make a statement about your faith to people you meet.
People want something that is real. Stand up for the name of Jesus. I have to make a stand.

3. Works

Phil 2:15

A Short Testimony of God’s goodness in my finances

Recently I've learned that we must go through suffering to partake in Christ's suffering, death and resurrection. We must go thru physical pain, rejection by man, persecution, all for the sake of the Gospel. But even through those times, we increase in Character and intimacy with the Father when we continue to trust and depend on Him during those situations.
The Joy bubbling forth within us like a river helps us to overcome any test, trial and pain.God is so good grabe!Recently God gave me a solution to my debt problem involving 2 credit cards. The problem with credit cards especially in the Philippines id that the interest per annum if you only pay the minimum is 40 percent so like in my case, I could only pay the minimum and even when I do, the balance still get higher.The account was cancelled foregoing the 40 percent interest and I would pay in 36 monthly instalments at a much lower interest.
God has delivered me. Now I must faithfully work with excellence and pay my debts on time and also my tithes and offerings- like with everything else- it takes discipline and self-control.I thank God for this answered prayer
P.S. I shared my credit card problem with detail so others too may be helped because the amnesty programs are on a limited run and are on an approval basis in case anyone was in the same boat..

Hello Dari!  It's Pastor Rachel.

First, I apologize for my late response to your email.  I enjoy reading all emails especially from the River of God Youth.  Kaya lang, we did not have any phone lines for over a month and I was extremely busy with our moving. Medyo, nakakahinga na ako ngayon!

God is faithful and He surely answers our prayers!  I'm glad that you're sharing your experience and I am happy to know that the bank gave you a brake.  In America too, the banks are willing to cooperate with the debtor and create a plan that would be easy for the borrower to pay back the loan.  I'm happy to know that there is also such a thing here in the Philippines.

The scriptures admonish us "When you make a vow, be quick to complete your vow" and "Let your yes be a yes and your no be a no".  Which means that if ever we promise something we should make sure to complete it, that includes our promissory notes, loans, credit cards, etc.

Do you know that I do not have any credit card??  Simply because it will drive me to buy something that is not necessary.  If I have a need, i pay cash; if a have a luxury, i still pay cash...para nating haunts me later, di ba?  If you don't have cash, then.....
di wala, magtiis.  Maybe later on may provision si Lord.  Every blessing has a season.  Never pick the fruit when it is still not ripe.  God knows when to shake the tree of blessings para bumagsak ang mga pagpapala. And, it is always sweeter when it comes in its perfect time!!
Rejoice!  

Many huge blessings, <><

TOP 5 best palms and top 5 worst Palms

For me, the worst handhelds are :

1. the m100 series - because of the small screen, the small memory, small fonts, and a lot of the units hard reset once removing the battery. That's why the US taylor settlement is now in the process.

2. All High end pdas with all the bang and for lots of bucks but very short battery. And even worse - those that have no replaceable battery.

like NZ90 (all the cool features, but bulky and very short battery life) but I wouldn't mind having one that works well for a low price as long as the camera works unlike a lot of them which have CCD problems. as long as I have extra batteries handy.

3. all pdas with digitizer problems and I know a lot of you can relate that even with digifix, a lot of palms you had have a defective screen. casualties are a lot of Tungsten E's 71's and other palms.

4. Pda's with non replaceable batteries and they die out after 20 months. Like some people who had defective Tungsten E's and 71's

5. Lastly, I would have to disagree that the III series were one of the worst. Actually, the original Palm peaked during the III series up to the Vx because of reliability, simplicity and really long battery life. I would say multimedia palms that die after 5-7 hours of wifi are less functional then the original palms that last for more than 2 weeks.

I prefer to have different devices rather than all in one. Because of all in one's very short battery life.

And for my best palms ever are:

1. III series and VII series and all the aaa battery operated palms. - because with the advent of cheap aaa chargers and rechargeable batteries, these models can last forever much more than your lifedrive or your CLIE or your 650.

2. Vx, and Z22 (although I haven't tried the Z22 yet)

also because of their long battery life but if their batteries die and there's no more warranty, there would be a problem.

3. Zire 71 - my first multimedia palm. great hidden camera and auto brightness setting. and all the others like it like the TJ37 and the TH55.

4. my dream palm is a palm with wifi, bluetooth, has a phone, as thin as TJ37, and is powered by a rechargeable AAA batteries for as long as 20 hours with sony software of palm, auto brightness of zire 71, keyboard of tungsten C and has at least 200 GB of memory and is sold for only 15,000 pesos. and that day may come because of the reduction of prices.

5. a palm that can upgrade OS everytime any new OS is there and can do windows, linux, symbian, play nintendo, playstation, sega, and all the emulators too.

TSI party

This is a picture of the top 6 costumes for our annual Halloween Party at my new job at Eperformax with our (Sharper Image) account. I made it to last place. I thought I got in because I voted for myself but I think I might have gotten more than 1 vote.

The winner really deserved it because He worked hard for the party-doing most of the decorations beside his bold look(literally)

Ace Santos - the guy in the girl costume.
