Hello! Praise the Lord I'm here again, still fine and doing fine.
Last week our friends from Singapore are here, i think 14 of them. They help us in every ministry, specially in feeding program, youth group, Hospital ministry and Campus ministry. They are a great blessings to us and I really appreacite their ministry.
This week our friends from UK are coming, David Strachan and family. They are a lovely family, on fire for the Lord and I really appreciate their ministry. Their love and compassion for the people are great. So , I'm so excited to see them again. Praise the Lord!
Anyway this morning I received an AoG Magazine from Ptr. Mark. And I read an Article that really shocked the Christian world. I want you to read these, not to Criticize this people but to pray for them that God will restore them.
"Three high profile ministers have shocked the Christian World by stepping down from public ministry after admitting to sin.
Mike Gugliemucci, Todd Bently and Terry MacAlmon are all receiving councelling after recent revelations about sin in their private lives. The most startling is that Gugliemucci, who lied about a two-year battle with cancer. The preacher reportedly deceived his family about the illness, which he faked whill thousands of Christians around the world prayed for his healing. He appeared on a recent Hillsong DVD performing his hit song 'HEALER' with an oxygen tube taped to his nose, and preached at British youth conference Audicious in 2007, claiming he received partial healing at a Wesleyan chapel in Bristol. In a statement, he admitted a 16 year pornography addiction, adding, Í'm sorry for a life of saying I'm something I'm not.'
Elsewhere, the controversial Lakeland healing outpouring is in decline after news that leader Todd Bentley had an únhealthy relationship' with a female member of his staff. Newspapers claim that Bentley, now separated from wife Shonnah, also drank excessive amounts of alcohol. Fresh fire Ministries is now being run by Bentley's associates.
Meanwhile, worship leader Terry Macalmon has resigned from his ministry after admitting to an extra-marital affair. In a letter, he said, 'Please forgive me. I never meant to heart anyone, but when we take our eyes off the Lord, the enemy knows where to attak us.'' (Joy Magazine, Oct. 2008, p 23).
Friends, God is the God of Restoration! Don't judge this people, the Bible says, "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults- unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier." (Luke 6:37, Message). Selah
Prophet Cindy JacobHi there, I know that you have waited for the continuation of my last blog. I have been so busy for the past week. Visitors ( I mean, friends…)from England came to visit us to see the work here in Santiago. After they left, three days later we have 71 visitors from Abra and Vigan who came to attend the Tri- District Conference. They stayed in the church for three days, I and the workers of the church really worked hard to make the visitors comfortable. It was so tiring but, we were so happy to serve others and knowing that serving others bring delight to God’s heart. I thank the Lord for giving me and my team the joy in serving.
Anyway I want to share the Prophecy of Cindy Jacob from the Philippines especially for Mindanao. Are you ready? Upon reading this prophecy, I pray that you will be challenged!
(In view of fighting going on in Mindanao right now) I did now know there was fighting going on in Mindanao right now. I want to say, “Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds.” You might say like Jeremiah thought in the book of Lamentation, “God you’ve abandoned us, where are You?” but the Lord says, “do not lose hope and do not lose heart, because the Lord says ‘Mindanao will be transformed.’’ Satan is making s great last stand. Satan has come down with great wrath because he knows his time is short in Mindanao. So rise up, even though you know, it’s terrible, and everywhere you look around is devastation, “out of this darkness is going to come a TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT that will be shown and modelled around the world” says the Lord.
You know, the Lord shows me, over the Philippines there is a principality of CORRUPTION, and this corruption has been so systematic, and so deep, and this principality thinks it controls the Philippines. But the Lord is showing me that there will be a NATIONAL FAST, praying-everyone, the north, the south, the east and the west, the whole church, not part of the church, STANDING UP and FASTING and PRAYING. There will should not be a day that there isn’t fasting going on for the Philippines.
And am calling you, wherever you are, whoever is hearing my voice, whatever pastor is hearing my voice, whatever youth movement, the Lord is saying, ‘LOVE YOUR NATION.’ This is a strategic nation. Fast for the coming elections coming up, cry out to God, that in the next election God is gonna move in a massive way, the spirit of corruption will be broken.
Listen, what the last time I was in the Philippines, I prophesied that the fear of the Lord is going to come to the Philippines, and those who tried to participate in corruption I feared for their life. After that, two of them died. God isn’t just saying these things. He means them. You get your life right, and you have the fear of the Lord in your life. If you tried to corrupt, corrupt God’s nation, it’s gonna be Acts 5, days of Ananias and Sapphira.
God is getting ready to march and move through the land. He’s gonna pull down one and He’s gonna set up the other. No longer will his words delayed over the Philippines. If you stand and pray you believe, God the Lion of Judah, is going to arise and shake His mane over the nation, and He’s going to roar out of Zion, and the darkness will be dispelled, says the Lord. Wow!”
Please continue to pray for the Philippines.
I want to share to you what I read in a booklet written by a Prophetess from U.S.A. she wrote this;
“You know I love you Philippines. I want you to pray, the next two years, the Lord is showing me, are going to be extremely significant for the Philippines. You’re kind of on cusp of re-civilization, I want to say that, either your gonna go into greatness, it’s going to transform the Nation, or I see that there’s gonna be some trouble times. So PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! I already know you’re already praying, but this is the time God is gonna pull down the spirit of corruption, and God is going to release the Spirit of truth and righteousness into this nation, because ‘Righteousness exalts a nation.’
The Lord is giving MANY PROMISES for the Philippines. I mean the Philippines is going to be one of the WELTHIEST NATION on the earth. You know I prophesied that there will be oil found off the coast of the Philippines, and there’s much more to be found, there’s gold, the treasures of darkness are there, and has not been found, they were saved for the Body of Christ. What does God meant to do? The SPIRIT OF POVERTY will be broken. I want to say to you, mothers will be able to feed their children, there is going to be a system put in place.”
So pls. pray for the Philippines!!! Pray for Transformation. Selah
Praise the Lord! I'm here again, still alive and kicking. Doing fine and excited because I believe that 2009 is the year of saturation. Yes, 2008 is great, lot of challenges and changes but 2009 is more better. God gave me a Vision and Word for 2009, that's the reason why I said while ago that 2009 is better than 2008. How about you, do you have a vision for your life, to your family and to your ministry? Without a (Clear) Vision the people perish. That's why you need to seek the Lord and seek His face, draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. My friend maybe you have many failures and disappointment and you want to surrender and give up and you think there is no success. I want to tell you what happen to me. When I begun my ministry, I have one thing in my mind, "SUCCESS," I want to be a successful person. I don't want to be a failure. In every area of my life, in relationship, in ministry, in church in finances..... I want success. But as the days goes by, I observed that I have many failures, and success is very hard to attain and I became discouraged.
Failing brought discouragement and disappointment to us. And we thought that success is for a few people only. But the Question is, 'What is real Success?' The world thinks that to be successfull is to have, a lot of money or being financially secured, to have a big business, degree in University and even finished doctorate, to have a big and nice house and admired by people. Those things arethe standard of this world, and I'm not against it, because those things are good. But is that the real meaning of success?
If success is all about money, big ministries, having mansions, trendsetters, opinion makers, power and position, What do you think of Jeremiah the Prophet? He had no mansions, no mega-Church, no fallower, no position in the Government. For 40 years he served as God's spokesman, but when he spoke "NOBODY LISTENS." Jeremiah did not attain material success, he was thrown into prison and cistern (Jeremiah 38:6), he was rejected by his neighbors (Jer. 11:19-21), his family (Jer 12:6), false prophet (Jer 20:1,2), Friends (Jer 20:10), his audience (Jer 26:8), and the king (Jer 36:23). In the eyes of the world Jeremiah was a failure, but in the eyes of God, Jeremiah was one of the most successful people in history. Why? Because success, as measured by God, involves obedience and faithfulness. Selah
SCOTLAND
Aberdeen, Scotland Airport
Praise the Lord we are here in a beautiful place of Scotland! We just arrived last Friday and wow its really amazing, Scotland is a Beautiful place with lovely Scottish people, that's true and I'm not kidding. I'm very happy to meet our friends here in Scotland. The people here are generous, kind, lovely, caring, giver and I love their smile, they are excellent. Even though we are a Filipino they (Scottish) received/accept us as their brother in Christ. So I want to thanks all the brethren here in Scotland. I pray that God will continue to bless you.
One night God gave me a very clear vision (November 2005), in that vision God showed me to send me to Scotland, and I said to the Lord, "Lord let your will be done!" but in m heart I don't want to go not because I don't like Scotland, it's because I'm not good in speaking English and its very hard for me to preach in English. That's true! But one day God spoke to my heart and said to me, "My son, this is the beginning of fulfillment of every promises that I gave to you!" Yes, God is faithful and I'm here now in the Beautiful place of Scotland. Friends, maybe God gave you a vision and dreams but as the days goes by just like nothing to happen it seems like your dream is dead and now you are very discouraged and disappointed but I want to tell you that every promises of God is yes and amen and I pray that God will resurrect that dreams.
Also, pray for us (Marlou, Winston,James, August, and Mark) because there is a "STOMACH PROGRESS" here, I mean there is a lot of food here, oh my the people here loves to serve us and the food is very delicious, the brethren here prepared a lots of food and we ate a lots of food, hahaha..... I think I'm very big now...
Next week I will show you many pictures so that you will see the Beautiful place of Scotland.
I really missed my family (my wife and my 3 beautiful kids), please pray for my son Marc David (20 months old) for his healing. This week (Monday)my wife went to clinic to check up our son and the Doctor said that my son need for an operation 'coz there is a problem in his testicles but I believe that God is able to heal our son. I'm not asking for money, all I need is your prayers and that is enough for us. I know that this is the attack of the enemy to my family and to me and the enemy wants to discouraged me and my wife but God will never,never, never leave us nor forsake us! Amen and God bless you!

Our Brethren from Singapore
Last year God gave me a clear vision, a vision about the coming Revival here in Santiago. This is the cry of my heart, "GENUINE REVIVAL," a Revival that will change the lives of every people here in Santiago, a Revival that will TRANSFORM this city, like in the days of Evan Roberts there is strong conviction of sin. Like in the days of Martin Luther, he stood up and tell the truth, he is the VOICE not an ECHO and through this, he turn the world upside down. Like in the days of John Wesley, he changed the world! How about us! Can we change the world? Can we make difference? what is the cry of your heart? My prayer is this, "Lord, here am I, send me!" Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to Pray the price? This is the heartbeat of God, "SOUL." What is the heartbeat of your heart? Oh, let the Heartbeat of our heavenly Father, be the Heartbeat of YOUR heart.
Last sunday morning, Ptr. Mark talked about LOVE. The true meaning of love and I want you to read it,
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices over the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures.
Love never ends. There are gifts of prophecy, but they will ended. There are gifts of speaking in differnt languages, but those gifts will stop. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will come to an end. The reason is that our knowledge and our ability to prophesy are not perfect. But when perfection comes, the things that are not perfect will end. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those chidish ways. It is the same with us. Now we see a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, but then we shall see clearly. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as God has known me.
So these three things continue forever: faith, hope, and love. and the greatest of these is LOVE. (1 Cor. 12:31ff-13:1-13)
Sunday Evening Service is a great service, the worship is amazing I felt the touched of God. And the most amazing is that God really touched our hearts in a way that we cannot imagined. Wow, fresh touched from God is more than enough for us!
Next week, we will go to UK and I'm very excited! Praise the Lord!!!
Night Service
I always share to our members here at Cornerstone Church Santiago that these Church is a without wall Church, a Church that will reach those who are ready to be harvested. Our cell group is really growing specially in Schools. In one school alone we have 34 students who are active in attending our cell groups and this morning I and Ptr. Jun are praying for this ministry and God shows us how to reach the students. So Ptr. Jun and I will meet our key leaders tonight to plan and prepare, bec. I believe God has a wonderful plan for this. Last overnight prayer meeting God gave me a word about the campus ministry. Wow, I’m really excited about this, so continue to pray for us. I saw the favor of God upon us, one of our cell group at bagong silang is also growing, before our cell leader started a cell group in small room but last week the room is to small for them so they decided to move to a bigger place. And now we have a cell group in community center and many young people are attending in this cell group.
About Youth Ministry, it’s really growing. Before, about 10 to 12 are attending the youth group, but now about 80 to 100 young people are attending our Friday youth service, and thank you elders and deacons of Cornerstone Church Santiago because you really support the Youth Group not only your presence is there but you used your money to extend the Kingdom of God, someday God will reward you.
About feeding program, from June 16 to July 31 we fed around 6,000 kids. Bro. Henry (one of the Elder of the Church) doing well and God is with him. And we want to extend our thanks those who really helping this ministry to reach the poor, especially the UK Team and Cornerstone Church Singapore.
About Hospital Ministry, still doing fine, this morning all the Pastors went to the patients and pray for healing. But I and August went to two rooms and preached the good news, I really enjoy sharing the Word to this people and Praise the Lord they received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Last week the Singaporean team are here, they are a blessings for us. Maureen is our speaker at Cornestone Santiago especially in youth and Sunday morning service, she really encourage us, especially when she shared about WAITING. It’s true that most of us are impatient, right? That is the reason why, we want fast food, instant noodles, instant healing, and instant partners. But you know there is a blessing in waiting.
Sunday night service is amazing service, we have our own program but Praise the Lord God is in control. The presence of the Lord is very strong, and God gave a Word to Ptr. Mark about “Faith of Children,” and we ask all the kids to come at the front to pray for them and after ward the kids prayed for the adults. When that things happen I remember the book that I read about the French prophet in the year of 1685, ‘ children as young as 3 years old both prophesied and delivered discourses in perfect, fluent French even though this was not their native tongue. On one occasion, a fourteen (14) month old child, who previously had never spoken, suddenly began exhorting “to the works of Repentance” in a childish voice’ PRAISE THE LORD!
About Bible School, I and Pastor Mark teach about Acts of the Holy Spirit and Church History and we really enjoy it. On one occasion, as we teach about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to the Bible school students, suddenly those who are not baptize in the Holy Spirit begun to speak in tongues and we saw the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. It’s really amazing and all I can say is GLORY TO GOD!
