Wow! It took a long time for me to write this story of my life. But here goes...
It was January 31st 2018 and I went to Bacolod once again to visit my dear friends Tita Arlene and her children because I was waiting for a certain Prophet to visit her in Bacolod, a peculiar servant of GOD that she had been telling me about when I was there a few months ago. I wanted to learn from as many Servants of GOD as possible. I was just eager for the things of GOD that I would fly to another island just so I could be trained and equipped in the Spirit.
This Prophet was a Pastor named Cez dela Pena. He looked ordinary but he was filled with the wisdom and knowledge of GOD and he was indeed very special. I had been waiting to hear him prophecy over me. But I was just too excited to hold myself back from speaking about what GOD had been revealing to me earlier in my life. If I wanted to receive a message from GOD, I should just let HIM speak through the Prophet and not blabber my life away.
Anyway, I was really learning from the many things he taught me. I learned about Solomon's Gold and that Sheba that was mentioned in the Bible (Queen of Sheba who visited King Solomon) was actually my city Cebu!!! And that underneath our soil lies many gold, and some were already extracted from our former President Ferdinand Marcos. I was so overwhelmed with this new knowledge I had take time to do my research and dig about it before I could finally believe everything he was saying. Talk about information overload!
I also saw how he prayed, ministered and worked for GOD. I liked his style because he was simple, just as is, not over exagerating prayers or way of worship. He anointed places or houses with the anointing oil and prayed successfully the deliverance of people who were bound by demonic spirits. Everything he did seemed so easy, just effortless. And it was another special event in the Jewish Calendar when I was in Bacolod because it was a Tu B'Shvat (Day of Trees) but it is not a Biblical Feast, just a Jewish one. (We have to know the difference between GOD ordained and just culture). That week was also extra special because it was a very rare occasion where the Moon is Blue and Red at the same time which they called the Super Blue Blood Moon of January 31st 2018. There are many articles written about it and I am reading this one: https://prophesyfortoday.com/2018/01/30/super-blue-moon-of-2018/
Pastor Cez prayed and ministered to me on February 1, 2018 and it was painful to be exposed the way GOD revealed what was in my heart and what had happened to me. Tonight as I write, I listened to his prayers for me that night and heard how I cried so hard in the background (coz I recorded everthing, no wonder it took all this time - almost a year for me to write about it since the time it actually happened) But every single prayer he prayed over me were wonderful prayers because everything he asked from GOD for me, GOD answered. At this moment, everything he prayed has been fulfilled. I have been reconciled now with my family, and now they are trusting me with Business decisions. GOD certainly hears the prayers of the righteous.
But there was one thing he said which was not included in the prayers. Pastor Cez said he saw a man wearning a colared blue shirt while he was praying for me but he was chinky eyed, and he felt that he was Chinese and I was soooo devastated to hear that because it isn't what GOD revealed to me. No way! My husband is not Asian, he is Israeli born in Yerushalyim! Psalm 87! But then I was crying when he said that because it was the ONE thing I couldn't accept because GOD had told me otherwise, or had I been desiring this on my own? Had I been forcing my will on GOD all along?! That night I got so confused but I just cried to GOD surrendering everything even that part of my dream to him saying "GOD, if it is true, and if I am making up something to make it YOUR Will, then forgive me. I do not want my will but yours." So I started recalling who the guy in a blue colared shirt was, because Pastor Cez he was a man I met already. Actually this part of the story, I got right. Because GOD did tell me that the man HE had chosen for me I had met already. So I started to search for a guy in a blue colared shirt in the past and then aha! I recall this Korean guy who I was showing the Crimson house to 2015. Indeed his eyes are chinky and I did feel that he was interested with me but he didn't do anything or make any move to know me. Physical attraction maybe real but it won't get you anywhere! But anyway that night I surrendered to the will of GOD. If it is Korean, then Korean it is.
But deep inside I was still so confused. How could I be wrong again about what GOD is telling me? Why do I always misunderstand GOD? If it's true, If GOD had chosen a Korean/Chinese or Asian man for me, then why has my peace not returned to me?
But GOD is always so gracious, loving and kind, that in Church that Sunday Morning, HE comforted me with these words in Romans 8:32-33 and this is how I translated His message to me "I did not even spare my only beloved and precious Son for you, would I hold the very best thing back from you? Just trust me"
And so I did.
That Sunday afternoon, I flew back to Cebu still confused and dazed from all the words I received from Pastor Cez.... Still thinking about these many things... still believing GOD will soon give me back my Shalom. Complete peace.
On February 6, I was already on the acceptance mode. "Korean it is..." That's what I kept telling myself. I was already convincing myself that most probably GOD had been leading my family and I to watch Koreanovelas is for me to be preapred for my heart to receive this new thing... this new revelation. So on this wonderful Tuesday Morning, I was in the pool, playing me some Korean love songs that I loved and got from the Series we were watching and I just enjoyed the Korean Song. Okay then it's time to learn a new Language! So I was already in that acceptance mode.... But suddenly, while I was seated wet in my pool while listening to the Korean Music, I wasn't fasting, it wasn't a special hebrew or biblical day, suddenly, I SAW with my eyes wide open, a middle eastern MAN!!! HIS FACE SO CLEAR and this handsome face, GOD had already told me about, what my heart has always believed from GOD, it is Natan, someone from my past that I kept seeing in the present. And I wondered, why, why do YOU Show this person to me GOD? Why?! What for? But that vision was undeniable. So clear and so close to me like he was standing in front of me speaking to me. The vision lasted for like one whole song!!! And I kept blinking if it was going to go away but it was so clear as day! So I prayed for him instead, without any feelings or high emotions I just prayed: "GOD just provide for whatever Natan needs, protect him, heal him, just give to him whatever he needs, bless Natan in YESHUA HaMashiach Amen."
