READING SOME VERSES IN THE BIBLE:
Habakkuk
2: 18-19
18 “Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman?
Or an
image that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own
creation;
he makes
idols that cannot speak.
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’
Or to
lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’
Can it give guidance?
It is
covered with gold and silver;
there is
no breath in it.”
18 Anong napapakinabang ng larawang inanyuan na
yao'y inanyuan ng manggagawa niyaon; ng binubong larawan, na tagapagturo ng mga
kasinungalingan, na tinitiwalaan ng nagaanyo sa kaniya, na gumawa ng mga piping
diosdiosan?
19 Sa aba niya na nagsasabi sa kahoy, Gumising ka;
sa piping bato, Bumangon ka! Magtuturo baga ito? Narito, nababalot ng ginto at
pilak, at walang hinga sa loob niyaon.
Zechariah
1: 2-4
2 “The Lord was very angry with your ancestors.
3 Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord
Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return
to you,’ says the Lord Almighty.
4 Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the
earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from
your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay
attention to me, declares the Lord.
2 Ang Panginoo'y totoong naghinanakit sa inyong mga
magulang.
3 Kaya't sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng
Panginoon ng mga hukbo. Manumbalik kayo sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga
hukbo, at ako'y manunumbalik sa inyo, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
4 Huwag kayong maging gaya ng inyong mga magulang,
na siyang mga pinagsabihan ng mga unang propeta, na nangagsabi, Ganito ang sabi
ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Manumbalik kayo ngayon na mula sa inyong mga
masamang lakad, at sa inyong mga masamang gawain: nguni't hindi nila dininig, o
pinakinggan man ako, sabi ng Panginoon.
Zephaniah
1: 2-18
Judgment on the Whole Earth in the Day of the Lord
2 “I will sweep away everything
from the
face of the earth,”
declares the Lord.
3 “I will sweep away both man and beast;
I will
sweep away the birds in the sky
and the
fish in the sea—
and the
idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”[a]
“When I destroy all mankind
on the
face of the earth,”
declares the Lord,
4 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah
and
against all who live in Jerusalem.
I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in
this place,
the very
names of the idolatrous priests—
5 those who bow down on the roofs
to
worship the starry host,
those who bow down and swear by the Lord
and who
also swear by Molek,[b]
6 those who turn back from following the Lord
and
neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him.”
7 Be silent before the Sovereign Lord,
for the
day of the Lord is near.
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
he has
consecrated those he has invited.
8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
I will
punish the officials
and the
king’s sons
and all those clad
in
foreign clothes.
9 On that day I will punish
all who
avoid stepping on the threshold,[c]
who fill the temple of their gods
with
violence and deceit.
10 “On that day,”
declares
the Lord,
“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,
wailing
from the New Quarter,
and a
loud crash from the hills.
11 Wail, you who live in the market district[d];
all your
merchants will be wiped out,
all who
trade with[e] silver will be destroyed.
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and
punish those who are complacent,
who are
like wine left on its dregs,
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,
either
good or bad.’
13 Their wealth will be plundered,
their
houses demolished.
Though they build houses,
they will
not live in them;
though they plant vineyards,
they will
not drink the wine.”
14 The great day of the Lord is near—
near and
coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
the
Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 That day will be a day of wrath—
a day of
distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of
darkness and gloom,
a day
of clouds and blackness—
16 a day
of trumpet and battle cry
against the fortified cities
and
against the corner towers.
17 “I will bring such distress on all people
that they will grope about like those who are
blind,
because
they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out like dust
and their
entrails like dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be
able to save them
on the
day of the Lord’s wrath.”
In the fire of his jealousy
the whole
earth will be consumed,
for he will make a sudden end
of all
who live on the earth.
2 Aking lubos na lilipulin ang lahat na bagay sa
ibabaw ng lupa, sabi ng Panginoon.
3 Aking lilipulin ang tao at ang hayop; aking
lilipulin ang mga ibon sa himpapawid, at ang mga isda sa dagat, at ang mga
katitisuran na kasama ng mga masama; at aking ihihiwalay ang tao sa ibabaw ng
lupa, sabi ng Panginoon.
4 At aking iuunat ang aking kamay sa Juda, at sa
lahat na nananahan sa Jerusalem; at aking ihihiwalay ang nalabi kay Baal sa
dakong ito, at ang pangalan ng mga Chemarim sangpu ng mga saserdote;
5 At ang nagsisisamba sa natatanaw sa langit sa mga
bubungan ng bahay; at ang nagsisisamba na nanunumpa sa Panginoon at nanunumpa
sa pangalan ni Malcam;
6 At ang nagsisitalikod na mula sa pagsunod sa
Panginoon; at yaong mga hindi nagsisihanap sa Panginoon, ni sumangguni man sa
kaniya.
7 Pumayapa ka sa harap ng Panginoong Dios;
sapagka't ang kaarawan ng Panginoon ay malapit na: sapagka't inihanda ng
Panginoon ang isang hain, kaniyang itinalaga ang kaniyang mga panauhin.
8 At mangyayari sa kaarawan ng hain sa Panginoon,
na aking parurusahan ang mga prinsipe, at ang mga anak ng hari, at ang lahat na
nangagsusuot ng pananamit ng taga ibang lupa.
9 At sa araw na yaon ay aking parurusahan yaong
lahat na nagsisilukso sa pasukan, na pinupuno ang bahay ng kanilang panginoon
ng pangdadahas at pagdaraya.
10 At sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon,
magkakaroon ng ingay ng hiyawan na mula sa pintuang-bayan ng mga isda, at ng
pananambitan mula sa ikalawang bahagi, at malaking hugong na mula sa mga burol.
11 Manambitan kayo, kayong mga nananahan sa Mactes;
sapagka't ang buong bayan ng Canaan ay nalansag; yaong napapasanan ng pilak ay
nangahiwalay.
12 At mangyayari sa panahong yaon, na ang Jerusalem
ay sisiyasatin kong may mga ilawan; at aking parurusahan ang mga tao na
nagsisiupo sa kanilang mga latak, na nangagsasabi sa kanilang puso, Ang
Panginoo'y hindi gagawa ng mabuti, ni gagawa man siya ng masama.
13 At ang kanilang kayamanan ay magiging samsam, at
ang kanilang mga bahay ay kasiraan: oo, sila'y mangagtatayo ng mga bahay,
nguni't hindi nila titirahan; at sila'y mag-uubasan, nguni't hindi sila
magsisiinom ng alak niyaon.
14 Ang dakilang kaarawan ng Panginoon ay malapit
na, malapit na at nagmamadaling mainam, sa makatuwid baga'y ang tinig ng
kaarawan ng Panginoon; ang makapangyarihang tao ay sumisigaw roon ng
kalagimlagim.
15 Ang araw na yaon ay kaarawan ng kapootan,
kaarawan ng kabagabagan at kahapisan, kaarawan ng kawakasan at kasiraan,
kaarawan ng kadiliman at kalumbayan, kaarawan ng mga alapaap at pagsasalimuot
ng kadiliman,
16 Kaarawan ng pakakak at ng hudyatan, laban sa mga
bayang nakukutaan, at laban sa mataas na kuta.
17 At aking dadalhan ng kahapisan ang mga tao, na
sila'y magsisilakad na parang mga bulag, sapagka't sila'y nangagkasala laban sa
Panginoon; at ang kanilang dugo ay mabububo na parang alabok, at ang kanilang
katawan ay parang dumi.
18 Kahit ang kanilang pilak o ang kanilang ginto
man ay hindi makapagliligtas sa kanila sa kaarawan ng kapootan ng Panginoon;
kundi ang buong lupain ay masusupok sa pamamagitan ng apoy ng kaniyang
paninibugho: sapagka't wawakasan niya, oo, isang kakilakilabot na wakas, nilang
lahat na nagsisitahan sa lupain.
Revelation
9:20-21
20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these
plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop
worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that
cannot see or hear or walk.
21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their
magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
20 At ang nalabi sa mga tao, na hindi napatay sa
mga salot na ito, ay hindi nagsipagsisi sa mga gawa ng kanilang mga kamay,
upang huwag sumamba sa mga demonio, at sa mga diosdiosang ginto, at pilak, at
tanso, at bato, at kahoy; na hindi nangakakakita, ni nangakaririnig man, ni
nangakalalakad man.
21 At sila'y hindi nagsipagsisi sa kanilang mga
pagpatay, kahit man sa kanilang panggagaway, kahit man sa kanilang pakikiapid,
kahit man sa kanilang pagnanakaw.

HEALING PRAYER – (Teddy A. Suarez)
Almighty Father please forgive me of all my sins
and for all the things that I have done wrong in my life. Please forgive me.
Guide me in the right path and change my life to be a better person.
Almighty Father I call on you now in a special way.
It is through your mighty power, protection and love that I was created.
Almighty Father I ask You now to touch my body with
your mighty healing power to cure any disease and remove them out in my body,
like cancer, diabetic, stroke, heart attack, vertigo, leptospirosis,
tuberculosis, malaria, asthma, HIV or AIDS and keep me away from dengue, zika virus, Japanese encephalitis
and other diseases and at the same time
heal the disease in my body. Because today and at present, it is too expensive
to go in a hospital, especially if you don’t have the money to pay the bill.
This is why I am asking you Almighty Father to have mercy, pity and compassion
to me to cure and heal my disease instantly. In Jesus name. I believe you are
the great healer and the best doctor to cure and heal any diseases in my body.
Because you are the creator and the giver of life.

any cancer.

the way You created it to function.

heart in best health and in good condition. So that I may serve you often for

Luke
11:1-4
1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place.
When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his
disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father,[a] hallowed be your name, your
kingdom come.[b]
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone
who sins against us.[c] And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”
Acts
17:22-31
22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the
Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.
23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at
your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this
inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you
worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
24 “The God who made the world and
everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples
built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if
he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and
everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should
inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times
in history and the boundaries of their lands.
27 God did this so that they would seek him and
perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of
us.
28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our
being.’[b] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[c]
29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring,
we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an
image made by human design and skill.
30 In the past God overlooked such
ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
31 For he
has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has
appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the
dead.”
Matthew
6:6
6 But when
you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is
unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
6 Datapuwa't ikaw, pagka ikaw ay mananalangin,
pumasok ka sa iyong silid, at kung mailapat mo na ang iyong pinto, ay
manalangin ka sa iyong Ama na nasa lihim, at ang iyong Ama na nakakikita sa
lihim ay gagantihin ka.
Matthew
22:36-40
The
Greatest Commandment
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in
the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c]
38 This is the first and greatest
commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as
yourself.’[d]
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew
23:8-12
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you
have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you
have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you
have one Instructor, the Messiah.
11 The greatest among you will be your servant.
12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Exodus
20:1-6
The
Ten Commandments
1 And God spoke all these words:
2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of
Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before[a]
me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image
in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the
waters below.
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship
them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for
the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 but showing love to a thousand generations of
those who love me and keep my commandments.
Romans
1:21-25
21 For although they knew God, they neither
glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile
and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became
fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal
God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and
reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful
desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies
with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie,
and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever
praised. Amen.
Exodus
23:24-26
24 Do not bow down before their gods or
worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their
sacred stones to pieces.
25 Worship the Lord your God, and his
blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among
you,
26 and none will miscarry or be barren in
your land. I will give you a full life span.

Instructions
for Christian Households
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is
fitting in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh
with them.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for
this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers,[c] do not embitter your children, or
they will become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything;
and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with
sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
24 since you know that you will receive an
inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for
their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.
Ephesians
6:1-9
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord,
for this is right.
2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is
the first commandment with a promise—
3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may
enjoy long life on the earth.”
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children;
instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect
and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their
eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the
Lord, not people,
8 because you know that the Lord will reward each
one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way.
Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours
is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
Matthew
23:9
9 And do not call anyone on earth
‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
Exodus
15:26
26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord
your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands
and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought
on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”
Exodus
23:13, 24-26, 32-33
13 “Be careful to do everything I have said to you.
Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.
24 Do not bow down before their gods or
worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their sacred
stones to pieces.
25 Worship the Lord your God, and his
blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among
you,
26 and none will miscarry or be barren in your
land. I will give you a full life span.
32 Do not make a covenant with them or with their
gods.
33 Do not let them live in your land or they will
cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly
be a snare to you.”
Joshua
24:14-15, 19-24
14 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all
faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates
River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to
you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods
your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in
whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the
Lord.”
19 Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to
serve the Lord. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your
rebellion and your sins.
20 If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods,
he will turn and bring disaster on you and make an end of you, after he has
been good to you.”
21 But the people said to Joshua, “No! We will
serve the Lord.”
22 Then Joshua said, “You are witnesses against
yourselves that you have chosen to serve the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” they replied.
23 “Now then,” said Joshua, “throw away the foreign
gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve
the Lord our God and obey him.”
Joshua
23:16
16 If you violate the covenant of the Lord your
God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the
good land he has given you.”
JOSUE
23:16
16 Pagka inyong sinalangsang ang tipan ng Panginoon
ninyong Dios, na kaniyang iniutos sa inyo, at yumaon at naglingkod sa ibang mga
dios at yumukod sa mga yaon; ang galit nga ng Panginoon ay magaalab laban sa
inyo, at kayo'y malilipol na madali sa mabuting lupain na kaniyang ibinigay sa
inyo.
Deuteronomy
13:1-5
Worshiping
Other Gods
1[a] If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams,
appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder,
2 and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place,
and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and
let us worship them,”
3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet
or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him
with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him
you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to
him.
5 That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for
inciting rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and
redeemed you from the land of slavery.
Matthew
10:26, 32-33, 37-39
26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is
nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made
known.
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will
also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will
disown before my Father in heaven.
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more
than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than
me is not worthy of me.
38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow
me is not worthy of me.
39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and
whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
Deuteronomy
8:19-20
Do
Not Forget the LORD
19 If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow
other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that
you will surely be destroyed.
20 Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you,
so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God.
1
Timothy 6-10; 17-19
6 But godliness with contentment is great
gain.
7 For we brought nothing into the world,
and we can take nothing out of it.
8 But if we have food and clothing, we will
be content with that.
9 Those who want to get rich fall into
temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge
people into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and
pierced themselves with many griefs.
17 Command those who are rich in this present world
not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but
to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good
deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
19 In this way they will lay up treasure for
themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold
of the life that is truly life.
Deuteronomy
4:15-31
Idolatry
Forbidden
15 You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke
to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,
16 so that you do not become corrupt and make for
yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a
woman,
17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that
flies in the air,
18 or like any creature that moves along the ground
or any fish in the waters below.
19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun,
the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing
down to them and worshiping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the
nations under heaven.
20 But as for you, the Lord took you and brought
you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his
inheritance, as you now are.
21 The Lord was angry with me because of you, and
he solemnly swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the
Lord your God is giving you as your inheritance.
22 I will die in this land; I will not cross the
Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.
23 Be careful not to forget the covenant of the
Lord your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the
form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden.
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a
jealous God.
25 After you have had children and grandchildren
and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt and make any
kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his
anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day
that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to
possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.
27 The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and
only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the Lord will drive
you.
28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and
stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
29 But if from there you seek the Lord your God,
you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30 When you are in distress and all these things
have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God
and obey him.
31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will
not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he
confirmed to them by oath.
Leviticus
19:1-4
Various
Laws
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say
to them: ‘Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.
3 “‘Each of you must respect your mother
and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.
4 “‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods
for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy
5:1-32
The
Ten Commandments
1 Moses summoned all Israel and said:
Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in
your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them.
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us at
Horeb.
3 It was not with our ancestors[a] that the Lord
made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today.
4 The Lord spoke to you face to face out of the
fire on the mountain.
5 (At that time I stood between the Lord and you to
declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid of the fire and
did not go up the mountain.) And he said:
6 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of
Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
7 “You shall have no other gods before[b]
me.
8 “You shall not make for yourself an image
in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the
waters below.
9
You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the
children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those
who hate me,
10
but showing love to a thousand
generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Leviticus
23:3
The
Sabbath
3 “‘There are six days when you may work, but the
seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to
do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the LORD.
Malachi
3:6-12
Breaking
Covenant by Withholding Tithes
6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the
descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.
7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have
turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will
return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings.
9 You are
under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me.
10 Bring the
whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in
this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates
of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to
store it.
11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops,
and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says
the Lord Almighty.
12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for
yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

3:6-12
6 Sapagka't ako, ang Panginoon, ay hindi nababago,
kaya't kayo, Oh mga anak na lalake ni Jacob ay hindi nangauubos.
7 Mula nang mga kaarawan ng inyong mga magulang
kayo'y nangagpakaligaw sa aking mga tuntunin, at hindi ninyo tinalima.
Manumbalik kayo sa akin, at ako'y manunumbalik sa inyo, sabi ng Panginoon ng
mga hukbo. Nguni't inyong sinasabi, Sa ano kami manunumbalik?
8 Nanakawan baga ng tao ang Dios? gayon ma'y
ninanakaw ninyo ako. Nguni't inyong sinasabi, Sa ano ka namin ninakawan? Sa mga
ikasangpung bahagi at sa mga handog.
9 Kayo'y nangagsumpa ng sumpa sapagka't inyo akong
ninakawan, sa makatuwid baga'y nitong buong bansa.
10 Dalhin ninyo ang buong ikasangpung bahagi sa
kamalig, upang magkaroon ng pagkain sa aking bahay, at subukin ninyo ako ngayon
sa bagay na ito, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, kung hindi ko bubuksan sa inyo
ang mga dungawan sa langit, at ihuhulog ko sa inyo ang isang pagpapala, na
walang sapat na silid na kalalagyan.
11 At aking sasawayin ang mananakmal dahil sa inyo,
at hindi niya sisirain ang mga bunga sa inyong lupa; ni malalagasan man ng
bunga sa di panahon ang inyong puno ng ubas sa parang, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga
hukbo,
12 At tatawagin kayo ng lahat na bansa na mapalad:
sapagka't kayo'y magiging maligayang lupain, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.

and only GOD can move those mountains that you face today.)

PROTECTION PRAYER – PSALM-91:1-16
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my
fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save me from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover me with his feathers, and under his
wings I will find refuge; his faithfulness will be my shield and rampart.
5 I will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow
that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the
darkness, nor the plague that destroys
at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at
my right hand, but it will not come near me.
8 I will only observe with my eyes and see the
punishment of the wicked.
9 If I say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and I make the
Most High my dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake me, no disaster will come
near my tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning me to
guard me in all my ways;
12 they will lift me up in their hands, so that I
will not strike my foot against a stone.
13 I will tread on the lion and the cobra; I will
trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “He will
rescue me; He will protect me, for I acknowledges His name.
15 I will call on Him, and He will answer me; He
will be with me in trouble, He will deliver me and honor me.
16 With long life He will satisfy me and show me
His salvation.” Amen.
