A Life with Jesus Christ

this may sound weird but…

2007-10-05T11:51:00.001-07:00

this may sound weird but… I pray first before going to the doctor. I always consult God first before I consult any doctor. I remembered a conversation between me and my dad in the past… he kept telling me to take medicines but I refuse his medicines. And one day… we had a talk and I told him that “How can God used me mightly in healing if I depend on medicines?” I am glad he respected my decision.

If you don’t know me… in person… you may think I am very healthy. But I am not. Before I became a Christian, I am one of the people who makes ‘Hospital’ - our home. But after I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior… I don’t go to hospitals anymore and God is using me to heal others too.

Btw.. I have moved my Testimony Blog here: http://chettedizon.wordpress.com/

God bless everyone!

Shopping with God

My Birthday :) (February 14)

February 14th 2006 (12:00am)
Philip called to say "Happy Birthday! Happy Valentines! I love you! and God bless you!" Our conversation was interrupted because I heard my YM sound that someone messaged me. God told me it was my mom so I told Philip that I have to talk to my mom. So then my mom greeted me, we had a long conversation about life, about how to celebrate my birthday etc... Then I found a link in YouTube of Wonderful Life. I got so focused on the story that I didn't realized I was already 6am :P so yeah my dad woke up and greeted me :) So after that... that's the time I slept (yeah I have a work on my birthday @.@).

But before I slept, I dedicated to God my birthday. I told Him that I will submit my birthday on His hands. :)

2 PHONE CALLS (10:00am)
I woke up because my cellphone was ringing. I answered it and it was my grandfather from the States. It was shocking! Because he and I are not that close. Actually because I was so hard-headed when I was a child, I wasn't his favorite grand daughter. (Maybe I was his least favorite) But... He called me, I controlled my tears (tears of joy) and He was so sweet to me. (The first time). Then as I was talking to my grandfather, my mom at the phone called. So after my cellphone conversation with grandfather, I went to the other phone and there my mom greeted me. FOOD (2:00pm)My dad gave my sister maricar 1000.00 pesos ($20) to buy food for my birthday. The fellow youth helped Maricar to buy food, while I planned and decided to go to the mall to buy Philip, a valentines gift. (It doesn't matter if its cheap... at least it's the thought that counts).

SHOPPING WITH GOD (3:00pm)
After buying a gift for Philip, Father God ask me if He can accompany me for my window shopping. It was this voice coming from my heart saying, "I want to go shopping with you" So I smiled and after I said the word "Yes" to the wind (hahaha). I felt God started to accompany me. So we toured the mall. I felt so happy. I know that I am alone physically, but spiritually I am not. Then suddenly, God told me that He wants to give me something, so He told me to go to the House of Praise shop. So I went there, looking at the CDs and I saw Steve Kuban CD. So I ask the saleslady if I can see the CD, so she gave it to me and I was like *gasp!* at the price! It's worth P420.00! ($8) So I said... "oh no.. I can't afford this CD..." Then suddenly the saleslady smiled at me and ask me if I want to become a member of the store, for becoming a member... I'll get discount. So okay... I agreed and she gave me this form. So as I was filling up the form, she was like looking at the paper too. Guiding me actually. Then she saw

Birthplace: Angeles
Birthday: February 14, 1981

She looked at me and said, "It's your Birthday today??" she asked, I nodded and gave her the membership form. She gave me paper and she told me I will get my ID next week. "But you can buy CD now and there will be a discount" she said, I said, "I can't afford it" Then she gave me a CD of Steve Kuban called, "Come Holy Spirit" and she said, "This is just 200 ($3) pesos. Do you want it?" she asked, I was thinking then God told me to get it. So okay I nodded and took it. (God told me eh :P) so yeah then as I handed the 200 pesos, she was putting the CD I bought (Come Holy Spirit) and the 400 pesos CD of Steve Kuban "The Lord is my Tower" in the plastic bag. I told her, "I only bought one CD..." I said, then she said, "The CD is on me. It's my treat. God told me to give it to you. Don't worry. I'll buy it for you"

I was... amazed... shock. I controlled my tears, I controlled to burst out right there and there. As she handed the two CDs... After I said Thank you so much and left the store, one tear fell on my face, and I whispered. "God... you are so good. Thank you for the gift" and then I heard a soft whisper of God, "You're welcome my child. Happy Birthday"

The Christians who hurt us

2005-12-31T19:18:00.000-08:00

er... I was only going to share this only in my personal Blog but God gave me a conviction to spread it and remind Christians...

okay here is it...

Sharing: The Christians who hurt us I was about to write a topic about resolutions and reconciliation's... but God put it in my heart to share this one instead. It's for the Christians... (Myself included)

One of the Philosophers in this world once said, "I Love Jesus but I hate the Christians, that is why I am not going to be one of them."

It's sad when one person talks like this... It's sad to hear that there are Christians who hurt other people, I know a lot of Atheists living in "righteousness" (worldly) than Christians. I know a Christian who already fooled many people to get some money and he was a pastor before.
Even when I became a born again Christian, Philip and I... was rejected on two Born again Churches before God lead us to Jesus is Lord Church. Even online... I have experienced persecution towards Other Christians.

Maybe that's the reason why people don't want to become a Christians... because other Christians have broken testimonies. It's not just because THEY (Christians) can be annoying once they share the Gospel... it's because of their testimonies.

"How can I become a Christian when all I can see in you is full of complains, anger and hatred?"
An online prostitute (like me before) once asked me for a help... and when I said.. "Why don't you go to church? They'll help you there" and you know what she said? She said, "CHURCH?! Why would I ever go there? I was already feeling terrible about myself. They just make me feel worse!"

It's sad isn't it? Some people are having a hard time to go to Jesus not because of the words spoken by Christians but because of the WORKS/ATTITUDES of a Christian.

I am not exempted in this thing. I too was hurt and I did hurt some Christians in the past, I have ignored the word "Grace" Thanks to a brother in Christ who rebuked me hehe ^_^;;

Well yes. We can reason out that we are not perfect. But you know that one can achieve perfection? Yes it is impossible in the eyes of the a human. But nothing is impossible with God.
What was the key of this "perfection" I am talking about? Let's talk about Jesus.
Jesus is the perfect (The Only perfect) Character in the Bible. Not just because He is the Son of God... (Remember that He also became a Son of man) But because of His character... His SUBMISSION.

Many in the Bible (even prophets and Apostles) who were working for God made a mistake. David, Solomon, Moses, Noah, Abraham etc... there were "mistakes" too in their life. If you really want to know their mistakes you read them in the Bible and you'll find the cause of the root of their mistakes is when they "depend on themselves or they have chose their freewill".
David is a friend of God. He is a Man after God's heart. He is very submissive to God, and God is pleased with Him. But one day... he chose his will instead of God... and what happen? He committed a sin.

Maybe you're thinking now that Chette has gone off the topic? Nope. I am still here. Now what is my point about this?

There is more than the word "SUBMISSION" my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. When we say Submission... We become CHRIST-LIKE.

When we say "CHRIST-LIKE"... it means we have GRACE, LOVE, JOY, HUMILITY, PATIENCE, GENEROUS, HOLY etc...

and if we have LOVE, HUMILITY, GRACE.. then there is also COMPASSION TO SHARE JESUS.

As a Christian, we should check ourselves if our Testimony is good or bad. As what I always tell to my brethrens in Christ online and offline... The bible of the Unbelievers are the Christians. Since they don't want to read the Bible... then they look at the Christians and their Lives.
So we as Christians, should always have a good testimony to everyone. Again... BE CHRIST-LIKE. Be CHRIST-CENTERED.

Some few steps to have a Good testimony to others.
1. Share Jesus with Love to others. Have a compassion to seek who are lost.
2. Help others who needed help. Do it for God not for yourself. Be a cheerful Giver and helper
3. Do not complain on your ministry. This is for God.
4. Avoid "cursed/bad words" The tongue is a deadly weapon and can destroy your soul.
5. Explain to people the difference of Judging and Rebuking. Many people tends to think you are judging them but the truth is that you rebuke them. Also do it in a mild tone.
6. Avoid Debates or arguments. Sharing is good but once you feel it's starting to become debate. Stop and be humble. restrain yourself. It's not the matter of winning you know?
7. When you are rebuke by your brothers and Sisters, accept it openly. They care for you and God is using them for you to discipline you... have a teachable heart
8. When someone ask you to pray for them, pray for them. Don't say, "I am too tired" Remember this is for God.
9. Don't boast around because you are a Christian and acts as superior than everyone. Show them you can be reach and show them Humility.
10. Don't be jealous of your other brethrens. Be happy if God has answered their prayers.
11. Encourage brethrens, don't discourage them.
12. Don't compromise with the World.

God bless everyone! happy new year again!- Chette

My Sister in Christ (Online and now in Real life too ;) Josanne... messaged me last Monday and she told me that she was persecuted. I told her that is NORMAL for Christians. But she should not be troubled because the one who texted her was not the one that is close to her.... (confusing? well you will understand what I am trying to say once you are a Christian :P) When the people close to you persecute you and started to do something that is unusual... there is a 90% thing that.. those are not the one who loves you :P The devil is using them... and they are not those persons.

Then I ask God... for help... Josanne needs help. Josanne needs to grow in Faith... but of course many will stop her from doing that. The devil will do anything and even use your most "CLOSE PERSON" to take away the joy of your salvation.

Did God helped Josanne? He did. Leslie (KKB leader in Angeles) invited us for "Eating fellowship". So this is Josanne answered prayer. A fellowship. But there is a problem... I can't be with her... I can't go to the fellowship because I have a fever :P But then God spoke to me and said, "You will go there with Josanne". But Philip doesn't want me to go because I was sick :P So I got confused. But then I thought of a "Sign". So I told Father God, "Father God.. give me a SIGN. If it rains... then I can't go with Josanne. But if it doesn't then I will go with her."

At exact 4:20pm... (because the meeting time is around 5:00). The clouds became dark. One of our household helpers told me that it will rain. So... I expected that it will. But then.. God told me to take a shower and get ready. I scratched my head and look outside.. it's going to rain... DEFINITELY. But then God said, "GET READY" So Okay I readied myself. At around 5:00pm.. the dark clouds... became.. fluffy... the rain did not... fell down... the sun appeared so brightly into our windows...

so.. I went with Josanne :P In the fellowship.. Josanne saw our other Christian friends... problems. We had an ice breaker.. and we found a lot about each other... Josanne realized that her problem.. is the same (or common) problem of other teen-agers Christians... their catholic parents. But these Christians.. even being persecuted... they are continuing their walk with God and God never leave them :)

Philip and I went to San Fernando using their family car. We went there to look for a cage for sparky. We were so thrilled to find out that God protected us during the trip. That we came home safe... even the car is in dangerous place. You see the bolts of the car already took off and so.. think of the car at the back of the future.. the wheels were almost.. bending down... and there's really a 90% possibility of accident... that will occur.

But... God held the wheels and that 90% possibility of accident is nothing. Even the people were looking at the car and all of them said it is not safe to drive the car like that.. we did and God protected us from Death :)

God is the BEST!
GBU!

Science Fair

2005-05-16T08:56:00.000-07:00

Just random thoughts:

Did I ever shared you how God moved last month? in our science fair?

Then let me share it to you :D

Last month, we had a science fair at school. The submission ends at 8 in the morning. If one fails to bring his/her invention then automatically the project will be disqualified. Our Project was not yet finish that time. We prayed to God for a miracle to Happen. Before 8am... the power went off. So the "Science fair was postponed."

Coincidence? okay.. we thought so too (even though we prayed).

The Power went on at 12:00pm (noon) The submission should ended that but the dean had to eat his lunch. So the Science Fair postponed until 3pm and the submission will end at 3pm.

At 2pm, the other students started to put their projects on the table. There was even a VOTING POLL. You can vote your favorite "Invention" and THAT will help you win the contest. We had no chance on the voting poll. Our Project is still not done. I just prayed even it was HOPELESS.

At exact 3pm... My Boyfriend submitted the project and it was shown in the gallery. The judges judge our invention. But we know there was no chance we could win because our invention doesn't have a VOTE (since it was late when we passed it). But did you know what? God... made a miracle. Even without the voting points, even with our late submission...

Our Invention/Project won SECOND PLACE.

and that is what God can do when you let Him come inside of you and take control of your Life.

God won the Bloody War (2005)

2005-02-11T07:48:00.000-08:00

GOD WON THE BLOODY WAR (as usual) :P

Speaking of God is soo great! (Indeed He is). You've noticed that my blog, our forum, and the domains potterhands.com and blessingsofgod.com were down for 2 weeks. In those weeks, God is battling against satan (for my life). I got sick (so naturally my ministry stopped). My Computer broke (I lost a lot of files and I had to reformat everything!) and my blogs and the FCF Forum (That God use mightily online) Went down. And I mean DOWN.

I called Ate Ems... but she doesn't reply for more than a week. Then I got tired. My Physical and Spiritual went down. (I did not attend church for 2 Sundays!) But Last Friday, Philip (Godswill) and I prayed to Father God (AGAIN). And as I asked for forgiveness and pray to Father God, I suddenly heard Him. He spoke to me and that made me cry.. why? I realized How much I missed HIS VOICE! I started speaking in tongues and He told me to open the Bible. I did and as I read His message, I cried again. His message... He told me that whatever He promise... He will surely do it. That He doesn't sleep at all. That He always listen to me, He always watches me.
My Family were confused when I started speaking in tongues. But I just ignored them Lol :P Then, God told me again that He fights for my battles. He reminded me Deuteronomy 20:4! So after that.. I prayed to Him the potterhands and blessingsofgod.com. Ate Ems then texted me and everything went back to Normal. My Computer went back to Normal, Father God took care of my important files (they were on the other hard drive Praise God!) and they weren't erase, My Health went back to Normal and so is my Spiritual Life.

GOD WON THE BLOODY WAR!!!!!
