For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1You have searched me, Lord,

and you know me.

2You know when I sit and when I rise;

you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3You discern my going out and my lying down;

you are familiar with all my ways.

4Before a word is on my tongue

you, Lord, know it completely.

5You hem me in behind and before,

and you lay your hand upon me.

6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too lofty for me to attain.

7Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

8If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me,”

12even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day,

for darkness is as light to you.

13For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

15My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place,

when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

16Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all the days ordained for me were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

17How precious to me are your thoughts, God!

How vast is the sum of them!

18Were I to count them,

they would outnumber the grains of sand—

when I awake, I am still with you.

19If only you, God, would slay the wicked!

Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!

20They speak of you with evil intent;

your adversaries misuse your name.

21Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,

and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?

22I have nothing but hatred for them;

I count them my enemies.

23Search me, God, and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24See if there is any offensive way in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting.

THE “FISHER” WHO CAUGHT ME!

When I did find Christ on my own, I had strayed as far away from religion. As you read this book further, I’ll explain how I encountered this man of God. I was considering a fisherman who caught me talking over the phone. It was my God’s calling in 2004. However, I didn’t find Christ in a church like those I grew up. I saw Him talking on the phone. It’s an unusual way. When I think about it, I still consider it an extraordinary and mysterious event. As the years went by, I kept thinking about it. However, I still couldn’t figure it out. Still, my faith has also been deepened through signs, wonders, miracles, and other supernatural experiences.

I have to begin in the quest for the things of God. The Scriptures tell us that if we seek God, we will find Him. Nonetheless, spiritual things do not come without serious effort. He told me a prophecy about my family that I needed to deal with. He said, “This is your assignment arising from God’s calling. You need to solve your family issues about your sister. You also need to address the other problems. You have encountered these problems,” as he mentioned one by one, I would say, between life and death. It deals with physical death and spiritual. I was baffled.

Since I was not very spiritual, I asked him, why me? My mother (she was still alive by then, in 2004). Why not my mother and brother? You see, they’re very devoted and faithful believers. I am not. I didn’t go to the church for a long time. My mother and brother are attending church. But how can I do that? I don’t know what to do, for I am not very spiritual. In fact, in those days, I was spiritually bankrupt. I’ve never been to the church, not reading the Bible, praying, or short prayer, maybe. However, I got a Bible (KJV) from my husband as a gift. I didn’t use this Bible much; it was dust-filled in the drawer. Why? It was not my appointed time.

So, this is the book that I will tell you all about being a Christian or believer. Nong Tonio, as he said, “All your problems and troubles in life can be solved are in the “POLONG” in Visayan dialect, but I didn’t understand for I forgot some of the dialects in our Visayan language for I live here in Australia for several years. My late sister told me the meaning of “Polong” is the Word of God, a profound concept that ties our lives together through faith and divine guidance. He also emphasized that it’s all rooted in the name of JESUS. The Blood of JESUS, the Word of God, and the Holy Ghost play essential roles. He explained these to me while discussing the issues of some family members, either in the Philippines or Australia. I was stunned. How come this stranger knows about us? It felt surreal, as if the universe had aligned for a moment of clarity and connection. I include this in the book, for I praise God and sincerely thank God for understanding that there were divine interventions in our lives, moments when the hand of God was unmistakably present, leading us back to faith and to the truth that we’re saved to become born-again believers! Some of these family members passed away, but I know they’re in heaven as being prophesied! They accepted JESUS as the LORD! Their journeys may have ended here on earth, but their spirits live on in the eternal light of God’s love, reminding us of the power of faith and the hope that we find in every trial and tribulation we face.

He checked my family members one by one and said, “I read all of you in the Book Of Life. I thought. Oh my God, I’ve never heard anything like this before. “I will see all of you in heaven.” I felt overwhelmed and confused in that moment. It was alarming, and I nearly passed out. Later, I learned this experience is called “prophecy.” As I stepped into a new season, God guided me toward my destiny, even though I felt uncomfortable and scared. I knew I couldn’t say no, as something in my heart kept pulling me. I recognized that it was God at work. Ignoring it would have hindered my growth and prevented me from helping my family with issues only God could handle. Without this experience, I wouldn’t be the person writing to you now or sharing my testimony. I am very grateful for the “messenger” from Heaven who delivered this message. He told me he was Elijah, born in Jerusalem, Israel. If you were in my shoes, I wonder what you would do!

I was stepping into the new season of my level of life. I was being pushed into my purpose. God knows I won’t move forward without a push. Moreover, I would not stamp my feet to tell my husband to move out and sell the house we thought we would retire for; it’s an idyllic place (2.5) acreage with a beautiful garden full of fauna and flora. It was a wonderful place, a simple but livable big house. It is surrounded by a lovely orchard and flower garden with the backdrop or background of mountain views. As I thought, this is our paradise, and we’ll live here until our retirement, although we have retired already. I lived there for over twenty years and loved it until it was my God’s call. I become restless for some reason.

If everything were going well, I wouldn’t pray the way I prayed so intensely, and I couldn’t recognize myself. What happens to me? I become like a monk or nun. I found that stepping out into the unknown world can be scary. What if something happens or if it doesn’t work out? Then what! I may not like it, but if God had shut that door, I would have been satisfied to stay where I was sewing for other people, doing household chores, and working in the ample land and house with all the maintenance. God loves me so much not to let me miss out on destiny.  I believe I have too much potential or am pregnant with possibility, talent, ability, and too much in me to get stuck where I was. He put me in situations that make me stretch, expand, spread out and flourish, grow, and spread my wings. 

After a few days, I phoned him again and asked for advice. How in the world does he know about my family? I must know and follow up. So I did! All I knew was that the first step, “Go help your family members, and God assigned you to do it for prosperity.” I know I am in God’s will; I didn’t know all the details about how it will work out or how to start. There’s going to be a not-knowing factor.  Suppose I could help my family and going to reach my highest potential. In that case, I have to have the boldness and courage to step into the unknown and uncertainty.

But along the way, if I don’t let what-ifs keep me in the boat. I have to make that choice to step up or play it safe. That was one of those now or never moments. Through the darkness, I would see miracles. I may not have all the details, and I may not know the result immediately. I believe I was about to step out of the sphere of influence, unmerited favor, and reach a new level of the fullness of my destiny.
