Good As Done

The Eagles defeat the Giants.

I was watching this video clip from the movie Facing the Giants last Saturday. The movie clip ends with the football team called The Eagles beating the stronger team, The Giants. The baseball commentator's voice echoed, "The Eagles has defeated the... Giants..." as if in disbelief over an unlikely turn of fate.

Then I said to myself, wait a minute. We also call ourselves Eagles. I've been going through 'some kind of depression' lately. In fact, we stopped meeting in the university for a while. I think, for 3 weeks now. It's not that I'm not committed. I am. But our meetings are becoming more burdensome than productive. I need time alone with God. Aside from the fact that a lot of personal issues I need to face seem to have suddenly resurfaced with a crucial challenge for this intense season. Religious consistency wouldn't make things better. Sometimes, we need to pause and rethink things. Or pause and be refreshed.

Eagles beats the Giants. I am no less certain that I did receive a word from God some few years ago. And inasmuch as I am in seeking and resting mode right now, I still believe that the Eagles are about to beat the giants.

Eagles Defeats The Giants

seven months after

aha! (a blog entry hiding -and hidden by me- here all along...)

it's been almost seven months since i last posted an entry (here) and what can i say, the encouragement that i asked God for came from my very own blog...

yes, we've been praying. there's four of us now. still a bit too few to be called an army. but what faith i must have taken to start this. it was the "faith of God" and with the same faith source we must go on...

it was five years since the 'Word.' when all had seemingly vaporized after my graduation three years ago, suddenly Faithful God knocks at my door to remind me of what has been 'laid down.'

"it's time to pick it up!"

everything starts with plowing. and so we will begin by praying - perhaps, softening the ground with tears. it all depends on God. i know many have been crying out or are still crying out. i actually heard about it. i thank God for their voices, sacrifices and tears.

but i must start off again from where i stopped and it was at that place where God spoke "gather" and "pray."

and so we're gathering. 2 of us. praying once a week inside the school grounds... simply because God gave us a Word and a Vision.

but surely the Lord has promised, "his volunteers are beyond number." so i rest my case about the conservative head count.

we're praying for a Jesus revolution. we want the radical change that comes when absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit takes over. we want something fresh. we want something new. we want it done God's way not our way.

there is something. unheard of. unseen. we want that which is born of the Spirit. we want God to organize on our behalf.

repentance must come forth from circumcised hearts before a revolution actually takes place.

and so we're gathering to know God's heart.

surely, there must be (something) more than 'this.'
