God Whispers - March 09, 2012

Choose what you receive every day. Don’t let garbage from TV, books and magazines fill your mind. Clean your mind by consistently pouring powerful, positive, inspiring thoughts into your head, and soon, you’ll drive out all “polluted” thinking from your life.

 

Thinking of you,

God

 

P.S. Whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things

Get Ready To Fight And Win!

Join The FEAST This Sunday And Learn How To Win Over Temptation; On March 11, We Start a Brand New 3-Part Series, “TheFighter.” Venue: PICC, Roxas Boulevard, Manila; Time: 8:00am, Or 10:45am, Or 3:45pm

We’ve been fighting in the wrong boxing ring.

The arena of the fight isn’t outside us.

       The arena of the fight is inside us.

       No wonder we’ve been losing!

       What am I talking about? How we’ve lost to temptation. 

       We think of temptation as an external problem. 

       It’s the magnetic pull of a Casino to a gambler. Or the smell of beer to an alcoholic. Or the alluring girl in the office that blows kisses at your direction even if she knows you’re married.

       But you know what? All these temptations are totally powerless if it doesn’t have allies working within you.

       Yes, it’s an “inside job”.

       And the solution isn’t fighting the battle outside you (at least, not right away), but fighting the battle that’s raging in you.

       Today, we start a brand new series entitled, The Fighter.

       You’ll be very blessed by these three myth-busting talks…

       Talk 1: Focus On The Good (March 11)

Talk 2: Friend With The Good (March 18)

Talk 3: Fight For The Good (March 25)

       Get ready to turn your life around…

       Note: We have other Feasts that may be nearer your home. For more details, email Annie at feastsecretariat@yahoo.com or call 7259999.

 

       May your dreams come true,

       Bo Sanchez

THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH

 

They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet. – Matthew 21:46

 

Taxiing down the tarmac, the 747 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After a two-hour delay, it finally took off. “What was the problem?” Barry, a worried passenger asked the steward.

“The pilot, who happens to be the best plane captain this airline company has ever had, was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine,” explained the flight attendant, “and it took us a while to find a new pilot.”

Would you rather change planes or just take the simpler option of changing the pilot? I don’t know about you, but even if I find a pilot who agrees with what I’d like to believe, it doesn’t make the defective plane any safer. It would still crash into a million flaming pieces in a matter of time.

Jesus didn’t blink when He told the chief priests and Pharisees that something was broken in them. In His love, He wanted to heal and save them from themselves. But truth can be inconvenient. “Eliminate Jesus” was far easier.

Friend, is God speaking an inconvenient truth in your life today? Don’t change the pilot. Let Him heal you.  Jon Escoto (faithatworkjon@gmail.com)

REFLECTION:

The loving God points something in your life that ruins you or slows you down. Listen to Him.

 

Father, it hurts when I get confronted with the truth, either by Your Word or by someone You use to speak the truth to us. Give me the grace to surrender myself to Your care and grace. Mold me by Your love. Amen.

 

St. Frances of Rome, religious, pray for us.

Don’t wait for opportunities to fall upon your lap. Don’t wait for chance to determine the fulfillment of your dreams. Take the first step and do not be afraid. I am with you.

Rooting for your triumph,

P.S. Do not despise small beginnings, for I rejoice when I see you start working on your dream.
