the vision

one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is the gift of prophecy. we we're blessed to experience such power.

the First Vision

during our reunion in sfc last two years ago, our invited speaker, rico, said that our group will be used by God to spread His good news of salvation in taguig. we were amazed but not necessary believe him since we have a unit based in central taguig and they are the one who's in-charge in conducting CLPs in that area.

the Second Vision

in that same year, we experienced the other gifts of the Holy Spirit: the gift of tongue, the gift of interpretation and again, the gift of vision. these gifts manifested through kelly, che and pao. the visions are: (1) tongues of fire; (2) flaming torch; and (3) heaven’s door waiting for us to come in.

contemplation

during our planning workshop in september, we announced these visions to the members while contemplating with its meaning. then, we received a message:

“The vision has its time, presses on to fulfillment, it will disappoints; if it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, and will never be late.”

still puzzled, we proceeded with hope that all these visions would be guide in continuing our struggle to evangelize this part of the world. after a few days, we found out that the verse could be found in the Book of Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 3 in almost exact words:

“For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late.”

our sharings

in one of our upper household meetings, we reflected on the gospel from St. Mark (1:14-15) that reads:

“After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: ‘This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.’”

we agreed that maybe this is the year that all of the visions will be fulfilled. we really need to repent from our sins, have faith in God and believe in the gospel. sins keep us away from our Father. we have to resist temptation. we should always read the bible, the written promises of God. we should have enough faith to fulfill His mandates.

the fulfillment

last year, our unit in taguig was dissolved since most of the members left the country to work abroad, some married and some transfered to other places because of their jobs. today, the task of organizing CLPs in whole taguig is now in our hands. we now target fulfilling the first vision.

the population of bicutan unit is now slowly getting bigger. more and more members are now receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit thus the fulfillment of the second vision.

may God continue to use and bless us, strengthen and empower us in fulfilling His mandate.

with all these, may God be praised!

ps: additional prophecies during the SFC Metro Manila Conference July 27-29, Balanga, Bataan

First Prophecy:

"I am your God and let no one tell you otherwise. I have given you a covenant because My love for you is boundless. You continue to sin but I untiringly forgive you because you are mine. Keep your covenant. Pray as hard as you can and listen, for I will speak to you in ways the evil one will not understand. Have faith in Me for I have saved you and will continue to save you. You will be blessed not because you have resisted sin but because that is My promise to you since the beginning of time."

Second Prophecy:

"Lament. Repent. Be sent."
