Here and Now:
I woke up at 4:44am and I was just reading the WORD taking my time, and i didn't let myself rush through the morning, but took a bath at 6am and left the house by 7plus arrived at the office before 8am and I think I feel better, I feel unrushed...and I believe it's because I realized that no matter how I try my best at work, my mom will never appreciate it...
Parshat Bereishit, 3rd Portion (Bereshit (Genesis) 2:20-3:21)
Genesis 2:20-3:21 New King James Version
20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He [a]made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called [b]Woman, Because she was taken out of [c]Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be[d] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be [i]for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall [j]bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve,[k] because she was the mother of all living.
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 6 So Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 19 He also did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 20 For because of the anger of the Lord this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, that He finally cast them out from His presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they [a]forsook all and followed Him.
Psalm 117 New King James Version
Let All Peoples Praise the Lord
1 Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!
2 For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!
Genesis 2:20-3:21
BIBLE in A Year
2 Kings 24-25; Luke 5:1-16; Psalm117
Observation-Application
So, the reading in the Torah is in Genesis 2:23-21. My rhema here is the Lord God causing a deep sleep to fall on Adam. He slept so that God could make a woman out of his rib. And when He made the woman, He brought her to the man, and Adam recognized her right away, saying, "She is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She will be called woman because she was taken out of man." Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. This is so important, I believe, that a man leaves his parents first before, this is my observation, before he clings to his wife, he leaves his parents first because that is what scripture says. When a man is comfortable living with his parents and then he marries, he won't be able to adjust right away when he lives together with his wife. It will be a very big adjustment for him. This is just my observation reading this word. And in Genesis 3, this was about the curse of woman and the curse of man, where a woman has to give birth and in pain, and the man has to work to toil to be able to eat. But because Jesus has redeemed us from the curse, I believe that woman doesn't have to be in pain when she gives birth, and man doesn't have to work so hard to be able to eat. This is the blessing of those who belong to the Lord Jesus, and of course, you all need to work, but to toil and to struggle to be able to eat is something that is a curse. It's been a curse from the fall of man. And in 2 Kings 24, I have observed that when the Lord punishes a certain nation because of their father's sins, it's the sons that experience the judgment. And I think it's just a dreadful thing to experience, to be the son or the daughter of a wicked man that is already judged by God. Oh, it's such a dreadful thing to offend God. And I think this is where my anxieties and worries lie the most. When I think that my parents have offended God, I would be so scared of being punished for their sins. And this should not be, because God has already declared that this ought not to be, that those who sin will be the ones to suffer, and not the children or not the parents.
And so in the reading of Luke 5, this is about how the disciples tried so hard to catch a fish. And even though they fished all night, they couldn't catch. But when the Lord told them to throw it down once again, then they caught a lot of fish. And then they knew that the person who told them to throw it out once again was divine. He was not human, but supernatural. And so Peter, who was at the time Simon, recognized Yeshua right away. And paid reverence to God Almighty, bowing down, saying, "I am a sinful man. Depart from me." But then God was ever so loving. He says, who loved them, who knew them, who created them, telling Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men." And so they forsook everything and followed him. And I want to follow Jesus the way they did. Sometimes I just want to forsake everything and just follow the Lord. And it's bringing tears to my eyes. I don't know why. The way He called them. They were fishing, and I know how difficult it is to fish because I just talked to one of my employees who belong to a fisherman's family. And she said life in the islands it's so hard because no matter how much you fish, you'll never get to the point where your life will be better with just fishing. And so when Jesus told them to follow me, it's not hard to forsake their livelihood because they were looking for something deeper. And here is someone who approached them, someone divine, bringing more than provision, but meaning to their lives. They forsook everything to follow Him. I cry because I desire so much to follow the Lord, forsake this natural means of livelihood, making money. But even when I already was far from home to follow Him, God brought me back here because this is the place where He wanted me to fish. And I'm just so glad that the people who work for me, they know God and they love God, even though they do not know the whole truth of who God is. But they know Him. And I continue to pray for them to know Him, to serve Him. I'm just so thankful to God because He gave us God-fearing employees. And in Psalms 117, it says, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles. Laud him, because his merciful kindness is great towards us." He is indeed so merciful and so kind. Just want to be with Him all the time. Just want to be with Him all the time because I feel so lost without God. And yes, I am a sinful woman, just as Peter was. But I don't want Him to be far from me. Although I run after Him and say, "Don't leave me, God." This world is so difficult. It's so hard. Please save me from every challenge, every difficulty, every persecution. Oh, God, I really, really thank you that you're here. But I ask you, Father God, to comfort me when I feel so alone. When I feel I am ... singled out. I am abused. I know that this world is getting harder and more difficult.
Prayers
But Lord, I just keep praying that You'll continue to do Your goodwill. Continue to be faithful to all of my workers. Continue to give them good health. Lord, I entrust Analyn to You, who is sick and dying. Lord, if she will just bring to You, God, I know that she will be well miraculously, and I want her to be well, Father God. I want her to live longer. Just as I always pray for my parents to live longer. Just like I always ask You to heal every one of us, even my lungs, Lord. You've been so faithful to heal me. Thank You for healing my mom and dad. Thank You, Lord. I will not forget what You've done. Lord, I want You to always be near me. Always speak to me. Always be kind to me. Always touch my heart. Always be here for me. Oh, God, I'm waiting. Lord, we would pray for Antonio to be saved from the evil that is trying to grip his heart. I pray that as he clings to You, Father God, that You would save him indeed. Help him to pay all his debts, Lord, because You have helped him. Oh, God, You have helped him the way You've helped me. Help him to pay all his debts, I pray. That he will be faithful, Lord, to what You have entrusted to him. That he will continue, Lord God, to humble himself before You. Humble himself before You. Help him to humble himself before You. That he will be faithful, oh God, just as You have called me to be faithful to You. Help me, Lord, to be faithful to You. And I thank You for my husband that You have prepared for me, whoever he is. I pray that You bring us together soon. I pray that I will always have that reverence and respect for him, that I will always admire him, and his love for me will grow stronger every day. That You would bring us together soon because You are our God who is faithful to us. Lord, I don't want to live in fantasies or lies. But I want to thank You even for the word that You have given me in Genesis. It brings me encouragement. It makes me have hope in my heart that You have indeed made me out of my Adam. Because I always have this longing to be joined to my husband, and I thank You, God, that this plan of Yours will be soon according to what You have shown me, God. I cling to that, Lord. I cling to what You have shown me. You have shown me the face of a man. Middle Eastern in descent. You have shown me his face. Maybe it's not Nabonel, yes, Lord. Thank You, Lord, for his life, and I bless him, Lord, and his family, and I pray that You continue, Lord, to reveal Yourself to him, Father God. That his family, Rabbi Yoel, his brother, his wife, everyone he loves, will be saved and will know You, Yeshua. Thank You that You have called me to pray and watch over him. I continue to pray that my parents will have a heart that pities me, that have compassion towards me, their daughter, their eldest daughter. Father God, I pray that my parents will forgive me for any wrong that I've done, any hurt I have given to them. That my mom will just look with compassion, and that she will not withhold even my salary, Lord. But even so, whatever it is, Father, I pray that you will just help her to understand me and not take everything against me. Let her realize, Lord, I pray, that I'm here because you are so faithful, and that she should not take me for granted or make me feel... Help me, Lord, not to feel offended by her all the time. Help me help her to understand. Help her to see that I do love her, Father God. And I bless her today, and I pray that she will have good health. And I pray also, Lord God, for that new boy that coming to the house, that he will love his job. Just like Jerry, is faithful and loyal. I pray that everybody will be happy in their jobs, and that you will provide another helper for us even on December until whenever, Lord God. We need helpers in the house because my parents cannot manage anymore on their own. And I pray, God, that there will be unity in the family, forgiveness, and love. Father, thank you that you're here with me, and I continue to pray that you'll always be here, that you'll always fill me with your heart, with your love. Lord, sometimes I feel so alone. But Lord, when I think about how you answered my prayers, even for my dogs, I am so thankful, God. So grateful, God, how you heal them, how you listen to me when I pray. Oh, Father God, help me even as I sleep, even as I go home. Help me to always remember you, to be filled with joy, with hope, with prayerfulness, oh God. I pray for the church. I pray, God, that you would heal every one of us, all our pain. That we would surrender all our pain to you. We will learn to continue to trust you for whatever is happening. I pray that Your love will continue to just embrace us and heal us all from all the pain that we have been through. I pray, God, that you'll secure, Lord God, secure my family for the days to come with the tribulation ahead. If you want us to build Goshen in Busay, I pray that I will have the support of my family, even, Lord, that my husband will join me in this vision, and I will join my husband with whatever vision he has that you have given him. I pray, God, that you will bring us together soon. That my family will bless my wedding and my marriage. That he will love my dogs, and I will love his pets. And that, Lord, we will not expect anything more but to serve you, to be happy, to love you, to enjoy what you have given to us, to enjoy in the work that you have entrusted to us. Lord, help us, God, I pray. Help us, Jesus. I ask you each and every day, God, to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Fill me with worship. Fill me just the way you did, Lord God, before, because I feel so alone. I feel that darkness is covering and hovering. But Lord, you are the God who watches over me, who will not allow me to be defeated, who stands and fights for me, who has given me the victory because of Your death. And by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony, you have given us victory. You have enabled us to overcome. And so I pray, Father God, that you make me continue to help me to be strong in you, to keep depending on you, to dream dreams and build those dreams with you. Lord God, whatever that you want me to do, that you put it in my heart. And I pray that you bless, Lord, my path. That I will meet, Lord, the husband that you have promised for me. Help me to meet him, Lord, I pray. In the name of Yeshua, I pray that his love for me will grow deeper, and my reverence and respect for him will be stronger. Lord, bring us together, I pray, oh God. Bring this man to me in the name of Yeshua. Thank you, Lord, for this man born in Zion. Thank you, Lord, the day is coming. Thank you, Lord God, that you have not forgotten me, that you remember everything, Lord God, that you have promised me. And so, Lord God, I give you all the glory, all the honor, and the praise. And whatever things, Lord, continue to pray that you heal Jewel's wife miraculously. I continue to pray that you heal, Lord. Heal the heart of my mom and my dad from all the trauma and the pain that they've been through in the past. I pray, God, that they will see how faithful you have been, that they will continually rejoice in your love, in your loving kindness, and in your greatness. I pray, Lord God, that I will always look to you. I will see you. Help me, Lord, to fast once again, eat only once a day. I want to do this because I want to be near you. I want to be close to you. And I pray, Lord God, that I will live each day with the fullness of your joy, with the fullness of your Spirit. Help me, God. Help me, Jesus. I cannot live another day. I cannot live a day without you. And I pray that you would just touch the heart of Eleazar Ramil, that you would bless him so that he can pay me back. Help him to be faithful. Help him, Lord, not to escape what he has committed. I pray, O God, that you will deal with him as you have been dealing with everybody, everyone else, every one of us as you have been dealing with us. Father, I pray, and I thank you for Wilson, for his change of heart. I pray, God, that you will just continue, Lord God, to help him live for you, to help him, God, do great things for you, to continue to serve you. I pray, Lord God, that your grace will see him through. Let him serve you with his heart, that he will know you, Father God, that he will experience you in this place. I pray that you would deal with Inin and the security guard who has sinned against their spouse. I pray, God, that you will just be merciful to them and help them to repent of their sins, O God. I pray that everyone in this office will know you, will feel your love, will feel your loving kindness, will feel your goodness. I pray, O God, that your kingdom come, that your will be done. For yours is the honor and the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
