…BUT I GIVE MYSELF TO PRAYER!

By Ding Guevarra

David must have been broken man! In Psalm 109 :22 we read:”My heart is wounded within me!” He wasn’t a perfect man void of sin nor weaknesses free.Fact is, fingers can be pointed at him for good reasons.And his heart called to be “after the heart of God” later, be unmasked as full of lust [...]

A REFRESHING RETREAT

By Ding Guevarra

Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. (Ps.38:9) In David’s apparent helplessness, he state the condition of his inner thoughts. Putting myself between fear and hope, I cast a long look forward towards this year’s Family Retreat at Lancaster,PA. Never in the last eight years of conducting [...]

Revival Praying

By Ding Guevarra

God has burdened South Jersey Bible Church International with revival praying. These last nine years, SJBCI’s people has been reminded time and again to seek the face of God in favor of His mighty visitation.

And Daddy Prayed…

By Ding Guevarra

“Lord grant that Tess and Ding shall reach their golden and diamond wedding anniversaries too”. That’s not all my Father-in-Law has prayed for us when he prayed for my wife and I at the occasion of our 25th wedding anniversary yesterday. My Father-in-Law is now 82  years old. To this day he remains gentle and [...]

At Last Here Again

AGAPE B.C. and REVIVAL

By Ding Guevarra

“O Lord my God ! When I in awesome wonder…” is the beginning line of  that wonderful hymn, How Great Thou Art. A vivid declaration  of the heart captivated by the awesome majesty and power of God. Alas, my Savior allowed me to witness His grace and power at Agape’s  three-day revival emphasis last weekend. [...]

When Everything Falls Right

By Ding Guevarra

Can that be possible?   Not until the hands of God are upon it of course! I’m thinking about the recent “Be My Guest” Sunday campaign done in the church.It was a wonder to observe and wonderful to experience. How shall I start ?  First, I guess, in prayer. In prayer meetings and in private devotionals [...]

Since 2001, it was one progressing and developing  spiritual journey.Needless to say , a lot has been looking forward to it  for the rare opportunity of spiritual experience it generates .Family Camp retreat spiritually [...]

Alarming Extraordinary Dullness and Dryness

By Ding Guevarra

We are in the hardness of times. There is a prevailing extraordinary dullness and dryness of spiritual power for gospel ordinances.We are at the low state of religion! Where’s  the church gone wrong?  Has His people abandoned their God? Has God, withdrew His hands from his people? I dreaded the thoughts! But we cannot deny [...]
