Help or Decline?


Should help be extended at all times? Do you get to choose whom to help? Is it a sin when we decline helping others?

As a mere human being, one tends to satisfy first their needs before helping others. Usually, people act based on what is naturally innate in the flesh, a rational survival instinct of men and animals. Are you applying the same rule as a true Christian believer? Maybe your answer would be in case to case basis or you’ll say, “I would definitely help if I have the means or I have an extra.” Is it wrong to save yourself first before helping others?

I am no different from you, I also ask the same questions but what guides me every time is this simple prayer, “Lord what do you want me to do?”. We should be sensitive in His leading. Because even actions in good faith or even giving out of kindness could result negatively. Why? because we do not know what’s going to happen next. We cannot read other people’s mind. We do not have control over things or situations and most especially, we do not know what to do.

From there, God will reveal what should be done. And when He tells you what to do, the decision is all yours. Your choice will be the answer to all the preceding questions. It is a matter of obedience or disobedience, doing your will or His will.

The Witch Spirit Demon

Image
I woke up at 7 a.m. Saturday after battling a demonic entity, a witch spirit wearing my grandmother's face. I was looking at her but unable to recognize her. The spirit was enraged at me. She tried to approach me, mumbling words I cannot understand. So, I went out of the house and called out for angels shouting for reinforcement. Commanding angelic hosts to protect every corner of our house through the blood of Jesus while the demon inside the house was splurting curses to our household using unfamiliar language. The only word I remembered was "Harem". When I looked it up, in the context of demons, a harem is a group of demons that a character loves equally. That word is also arabic which constitutes women who are placed in one house, chosen by a Sultan to become concubines. In other words, it is attached to the spirit of lust, slavery and oppression. I woke up rebuking that spirit saying, "Thou shall not touch any of my household by the blood of Jesus". As chil...

Let Go, Let God

Whenever I hear these words I’d say, “Of course! That’s what Christians would do but one must do their best, then God will do the rest.” I think many would agree to that. I’m not someone who would wait for a miracle when I can let it happen if I just act in the first place. As confident as I am, when I knew I can do it as easy as a pie. When I was a teenager, we had a 3-day youth camp in our church with series of enjoyable obstacle course on the last part of the program. One of it was so unforgettable that it made my knees shivered and my co-camper even lost her energy to stand or walk after the exercise. What was it? “Mud Walk” You had to hold and grab the rope while being blind folded, keep down and find the way to the exit with your team. The goal was the exit or, we thought so. We were eager, we had much energy, we had confidence; giving up was not part of the option. No retreat; no surrender! Well, exit is just around the corner. And we had already won other obstacles one by one. ...

Quiet Time

What's so important about 3 a.m. prayer or quiet time? So, let me share this. We had an overnight at our beach house last weekend. While sleeping at 3 a.m., I encountered a demonic entity. I recognized what it was in an instant. It was covered with black and red aura, he was kneeling at the center of the street and we were about to cross each other's path because I was moving forward. I thought we were going to have a spiritual battle or warfare but the demon was unable to move. So, I just passed through it. Little do I know, my mother was already having her quiet time and an audio prayer was amplified all over the house.  Then I remembered the demon's posture, he was kneeling and was unable to move, his hands are at the back like he was tied. He was kept still and frozen by a 3 a.m. quiet time.
