Dedz na ang blog na ito… Just visit http://jcnafarrete.multiply.com/journal or http://www.xanga.com/juztified_one for my real blogs. Thanks so much! God bless!

     Natatawa lang ako sa mga sinasabi ng mga tao as paligid. Like this one time when someone texted me. She asked me how I am and I responded with "I’m fine". Then she asked me if I’m single and I said "yes". Then the next question made me laugh. She asked me "pwede ba ako na lang GF mo?" I mean, what kind of question is that? I told her "hah?! Hey, you don’t even know me." Young people today are always excited to have someone to call their girlfriend/boyfriend. Sometimes they wouldn’t even care to know the background of the guy/girl and they would just go for it (talk about having standards). Well, what’s so special about having a gf/bf? Well actually, I was also excited to have one when I was in highschool. I couldn’t wait to go to college because I thought I’m gonna meet the one for me. I was always the laughing stock of people back in highschool so I thought that if I would have a pretty girlfriend, they won’t be laughing anymore. I was so insecure back then and I thought having someone would make me feel secure. So college came and the search went on. I found someone but she rejected me. I didn’t even have the chance to tell her my intensions, basted na agad. I was smiling at that time but deep inside  I’m really hurting. But little did I know that someone was already looking for me. I was so busy looking for a girlfriend that I never heard the still, small voice of that someone calling me. That someone was Jesus Christ. I went to college to find the girl of my dreams but God found me first. He told me that He’s the only one who can give the security I need. He’s the only one who could fill the empty space in my heart. I realized that I actually am complete without having a girlfriend. Don’t get me wrong… I believe that it’s not God’s will for me to be single for the rest of my life. God is only telling me to wait for His perfect time and to focus on Him. The Bible tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord our God and He will give us the desires of our heart. Everything is beautiful in God’s time. I know He already created someone for me and she’s probably somewhere waiting… her eyes also focused on God…

Our country has been through a lot for the past few days, and I feel that it only appropriate for me to post this prophecy. It’s given back in 2001 but I think we are already seeing the fulfillment. If you doubt my words, just read on. For the audio, go to http://www.cbnasia.org/700club/cindy_jacobs.htm

Recently, due to many requests, The 700 Club Asia featured the audiotape of Cindy Jacobs’ inspiring prophecy for the Philippines. Special guest was Pastor Jerome Ocampo, head of the Jesus Revolution revival crusade, who was in the United States when the prophecy was given.

The prophecy was delivered unexpectedly and extemporaneously last October 27, 2001. The venue was the "Catch the Fire" conference of Harvest International Ministries in California, U.S.A..

Cindy Jacobs, American founder and head of a worldwide prayer network: Generals of Intercession, author of three bestselling books on prayer, prophecy and spiritual warfare; and widely recognized "prophet to the nations" was an invited speaker.

At one point in the conference, two of a handful of Filipinos there, Pastor Jerome Ocampo and his wife Annabelle, were called onstage. They were prayed for and asked to receive the financial "love offering" for the day to benefit the "Jesus Revolution" youth revival to be held at the Luneta in Manila the next month. Cindy Jacobs was invited onstage to make the call for support for the revival.

When Cindy came up, she immediately sensed a stirring in her spirit.. "Don’t you feel a sense of destiny on this stage?" remarked the prophetically gifted intercessor who had been to the Philippines once in 1996 for a conference.

"She was shaking," recalls Jerome as Cindy turned towards them. "It’s as if she couldn’t hold back what she wanted to say. It just exploded, tuluy-tuloy." In a high, clear, commanding voice, the words gushed out from Cindy in a torrent, without a single pause. Her prophecy was amazingly specific and accurate," Jerome marveled.. This is what she said:

PROPHECY FOR THE PHILIPPINES

"Jerome, the Lord would say to the Philippines -I am shaking everything that can be shaken so that no man can glory in what I will do. For I have waited for a generation that I could raise up a purity and a holiness in. And I am raising up firebrands!

There is a forerunner anointing coming upon the youth of the Philippines that will prepare the way of the Lord, even into the Middle East. Look and see what I will do in Mindanao. For I am going to visit in a way that you cannot imagine! I am coming to Mindanao, says the Lord, as God and the Lord of Hosts, and I am going to start appearing. As a sign that I am going to truly change the nation, I am going to show myself to the guerilla leaders. I am going to come, says the Lord, and I am going to begin at the places in the Philippines that have been the bloodiest; the places where the guerillas’ insurrection have been the strongest. And I am going to come with signs and wonders and miracles! I am getting ready to pour out a miracle anointing upon the Philippines such as the earth has never seen! For Indonesia, they had a mighty rushing wind. But in the Philippines they will have the fire from heaven that will begin to fall! And this will be a purging fire! And I will say, I will visit even as if in a day, says God. Do not think that I am not able to come in a day and begin to unravel the iniquities of the nation, says the Lord!

I am going to visit the military. I am getting ready to come among the young in the military. And the Lord says, there’s going to be a revolution of righteousness that comes within the military.

I’m getting ready to dethrone everything that needs to be dethroned, for even the bowls of heaven are full. Oh, I see the bowls in heaven are just getting ready to be tipped over the Philippines and I am going to spill out my glory!

And the Lord says, I will remove the shame that Satan has tried to put upon this nation! And the Lord says, look and see, for even the blood of the martyrs cries out from Saudi Arabia! The blood of the martyrs cries out from those Islamic nations, and my Filipino people that have laid their lives down. Do not think I haven’t seen it! Do not think I am looking away! Do not think I do not see you! Do not think I do not see you, Philippines; for I see you! You are the apple of my eye! You are a treasure unto me!

This is the day and this is the hour when I begin to change everything, says the Lord! I’m going to change the judicial system. I’m going to dethrone corrupt judges. I’m getting ready to deal with the police force. I’m going to expose, expose, expose, expose!

And the Lord says, look and see what I will do! For I will open up my treasure chest from the Philippines! And I am going to release finances for the Philippines that will surprise and shake even Hongkong! For I am getting ready to move a distribution of wealth, says God. And I am getting ready to open the oil! I am getting ready to open that which is in the ocean! I’m getting ready to bring forth a revolution even in the economic systems, in the finance systems!

Look to the university in Manila, says God. For I am going to bring a revival that the-Oh my Lord!— the Lord says, not hundreds, but thousands and thousands and thousands are going to get saved!! The Lord says, can I touch a whole university? Yes I can touch a whole university! I can come with my glory and I can come with my power in ways that you cannot imagine!

For I am coming, says God! I am coming and I will remain, says the Lord!

[what will people think
When they hear that I’m a jesus freak?
What will people do
When they find that’s it’s true? ]

Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I’ve divorced

I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
’jesus saves’ is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

(chorus)
What will people think
When they hear that I’m a jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it’s true
I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak
There ain’t no disguising the truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain
I’ve been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause I won’t live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn’t too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this jesus freak

(repeat chorus 2x)

People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

(repeat chorus 2x)

What will people think
[what will people think]
What will people do
[what will people do]
I don’t really care
[what else can I say]
There ain’t no disguising the truth
[jesus is the way]

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jer 29:11-14 NIV)

This is a very common passage and we hear it all the time. Other people might say, "Here we go for another one of those purpose thingie." But as for me, it taught me to look at life in a new perspective.

Last semester, I did a paper about our family history and one of the stories caught my attention.

Back in the time of World War II, I wasn’t born yet (obviously). My grandparents were just married and my grandmother just gave birth to my eldest uncle. At that time, the Japanese had already occupied some parts of the Philippines including the Visayas region where my grandparents are. At one time, the Japanese army went from house to house checking on every household members. If one of the members is found out to be a guerilla member, the whole family is killed. It so happens that one of the brothers of my grandfather is a guerilla. Not only that, when he heard that the Japanese are coming, he fled leaving his uniform at the room in my grandparents’ house. So the Japanese came to the house where my grandmother and my baby uncle was. They were caught by the cuteness of my baby uncle and they played with him. They even liked the looks of my grandmother and they (should I say) flirted with her. To make the long story short, they forgot to check the room, thereby saving the next generation of our family.

I pondered about this story and it came to me. What if our  whole family is killed? I won’t probably be here right now typing this.

These only reveals that God was probalbly thinking about me and the next generation. He must be thinking, "Hey I have something in store for that guy, JC, I must preserve his family. I have a purpose for his life."

I really praised God for what He has done and what He is going to do in my life.

I want you guys to know that you have a purpose, whoever you are, whatever background you have. His will is for you to be here. Jer 29:12 says that we can call on Him. All you need is to do is ask Him to reveal what His purpose is.
