~~"GOD WILL NEVER EVER LEAVE YOU STAGNANT IN FAITH!"~~ When God pushes & wants you to go steps higher than high in faith, he puts you into a complicated, INTENSIVE, SPECIAL TEST! You are alone with it but with God on your side, & that´s "all the time!" It is a matter which is only between you & God, since you are important to him & others don´t have anything to do with your growing up in him. You must grow on your own with him & in him...his ways. God will never ever leave you stagnant in faith. GOD said, as written, "THE GOOD & THE BAD WILL BE PUT INTO A TEST. I WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET INTO TROUBLES, BUT I WILL HELP YOU OUT OF IT." TESTIMONY: When I had nothing at all except God, the Bible & my sons here in Germany directly from our escapade from the Philippines in August 14, 2001, we had no place to stay! God used one couple who lent me DM800.- to survive with for a couple of days at the onset of our adventure in our new life ... made us use their apartment for 2 weeks while they were on vacation back in the Philippine Islands. I didn´t use any hot water to avoid abuse on their electricity bill. We took a real quick bath twice a week with very, very cold water! It hurt me hearing & seeing my sons shivering of biting cold while taking thoz baths. But it had to be! We didn´t eat in their kitchen, too; didn´t use anything in their apartment, but slept there. We were extra careful not to move or touch anything at all! At daytime, my 2 boys (aged 8 & 10 yrs. old) & I went around walking just to kill the time to which during those long moments, I was praying, talking to God about every possible thing in the new chapter of our lives while trying my very best to diverse my children´s attention by letting them play in the parks, etc. We ate only some bread with a bottle of drink daily if my sons were hungry. When 2 weeks were almost over & the family were back from their vacation, God sent me an old friend, Carmen, who was so happy to know we came & see me with my sons, picked us up to stay with her in her apartment about 6-7 kilometers away from the city. She looked for an apartment for the three of us just about some 3-minute walk from her flat. In short, after a day or two with her, me & my sons transferred into our own dwelling place in September 1, 2001 with "NOTHING" at all except what we had on & a little to change, some kitchen utensils, like, spoon, fork, knives & ladles from my friend Carmen. The apartment with two small bedrooms, a small living room, a small kitchen with a bath & comfort room was empty & it was freezing cold! It seemed to me like we were living in a partitioned match box with nothing in it! And to think that we formerly lived in quite a very spacious, big house with the huge congregational hall adjacent to it by the shore & came from a very warm-weathered country of 35°Centigrade & 22°Centigrade in cold months then suddenly lived in a land where the temperature goes up to 6-10°Centigrade in the night at fall was so extreme! We didn´t have a winter blanket & no proper clothes for the season! We tried to survive with thnxgiving, praises & worship all the time as my children grew up with God from my womb on. God has had always been our refuge anytime in our lives through thick & thin. We kept our own services & bible studies at home, ´coz even going to church was not even affordable for us buying bus tickets in commuting here & there. Then, an old friend, Babsie, came over who brought us a winter sleeping bag, woolen blankets & an air bed. The social welfare equipped us with brand new washing machine, electric stove with oven, refrigerator, double-decked bed, second-hand chandeliers, used sala set, table, cupboards & a showcase, etc. Another social group gave us a lump sum of DM2,300.- & my children started going to school right at the back of the apartment where we lived then. My lawyer & the Caritas institution did everything FAVORABLY on our behalf in so short a time ... SO QUICK that the social welfare got us under their responsibility, paid for our apartment, health insurances, gave us more than a thousand cash monthly (aside from our alimonies & children´s compensation) for all our needs, with extra privileges for my two boys! We were sent to a recuperation & relaxation therapy for one month later for free! I couldn´t mention all the great goodness of God now bcoz it´s countless! The blessings when we FULLY TRUST GOD stream forth smoothly & easily unto us from his throne room of grace, the very source of his power of love from on high above ... from our Most High God. God meets our every need his ways in our lives bcoz he is our FATHER who UNFATHOMABLY LOVES & CARES FOR US ... knows what we need & when! It is only a matter of time, but it´s already in store ready for release according to our perseverance in faith & belief, trust & confidence in him alone no matter what else comes our ways. Don´t forget! Even before we were born here on earth, everything was planned in our lives, as to: 1. what to happen 2. when to happen 3. why it should happen 4. where it should happen 5. how it should happen ... 6. who are the people involved in hurting us, 7. which situations & conditions we´ll be in, etc., FOR GROWTH & STRENGTHENING IN FAITH & BELIEF, TRUST & CONFIDENCE IN HIM OUT OF HIS DIVINE, HOLY, SACRED LOVE for YOU & ME.
