COUNTING MY BLESSINGS

Praise the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I want to glorify the wonderful deeds of Dearest Jesus in my life today so I took time to write and count some of my blessings.

I want to thank Dearest Jesus for healing my mom. Around the 1990's, she was diagnosed with hepatitis or inflammation of the liver. At that time, there was still no known cure for that. She wasn't able to work abroad due to that misfortune. Devastated and depressed with the result, she sought help from doctors and unfortunately found no cure. BUT GOD REALLY DOES MIRACLES. She incidentally saw and watched the blessed television program of the JESUS MIRACLE CRUSADE and was persuaded to attend due to her willingness to get well. My mom is in her 50's now and God continuously pours strength and health on her. Praise the Lord!

I also recall having dysuria (painful urination due to bladder stones) in my childhood. So, every time I had to urinate, there was the a burning sensation. If you could only imagine the suffering I had from that kind of condition at an early age. But, through the prayers of the Beloved Pastor, I was relieved from that pain and healed completely.

These are just a portion of the wonderful works of Dearest Jesus, my Saviour, since I was saved and baptized in Jesus' name.

GOD IS WONDERFUL. HE GAVE ME A NEW LIFE!

Praise the Lord, our Almighty Jesus Christ!

I came to know of the Jesus Miracle Crusade International Ministry through my aunt who was in Baguio City. My beloved mother and brother were the first to be baptized, and they were healed of their illnesses. I saw that my mother was truly healed. The same with my brother who had ulcer and was instantly healed. Praise the Lord! Since then, they stopped taking medication. They would just repent and put their faith in God and they're instantly healed of their sicknesses. My mother would lay her hands on us and my siblings and I would be healed. I started attending the San Carlos and Calasio outreaches to observe. There, I heard the true and holy Word of the Living God. I was baptized in water in the name of our Dearest Jesus at the Baguio City outreach and continued attending there.

But before I came to this ministry way back 1999, I had many illnesses. I had a heart ailment, enlargement of the heart; I tire easily; I would fall down, unaware that my hands and feet have stiffened. I also had nervous breakdown and kidney trouble. I was always at the doctor's office taking numerous, high-dosage medications. We were also very poor. We were so impoverished that we lived in a nipa hut wherein if it started to rain, we needed to prepare empty containers to catch all the rainwater pouring inside our house. I was also drinking alcohol, smoking, going to discos with college friends, and always in shorts or pants. When I started working, I got worse because I started earning my own money and was answering back my parents. I was obstinate, I would come home at wee hours from the disco with my clients (I was a car salesperson and couldn't say no to them). I was lonely, I almost had an affair with a married man, and committed grievous sins.

Nevertheless our dear God lifted me from my sins, He changed me and removed my vices. He clothed me with holiness and I try to live by it, keeping in mind the good Lord's promise in Daniel 7:18, despite of what others may say about my outward appearance. He has truly blessed us. We are now able to eat what we want to eat. We have a concrete house and a number of vehicles. I am utterly grateful to our dear God for giving us our beloved Parents in the Lord -- Beloved and Honorable Evangelist Wilde E. Almeda and Beloved Assistant Pastor Lina Almeda -- praying fervently day and night for us. I feel joy and gladness every time I think of the goodness of our dear Lord Jesus. I cannot repay all the miracles He's wrought in my life. Without Him, I would not be around, too. He is my Father and Lord above all! Praise the Lord in the Highest!

I have been healed by our dearest Lord after water baptism

Praise the Lord! I greet our Beloved Pastor Evangelist Wilde Estrada Almeda.
I was saved on January 27, 1992 during a crusade in Luneta Park, Manila. I am thankful for the healing of my illnesses. I used to have migraine, stomach ulcer and stomachache. I have been healed by our dearest Lord after water baptism in the name of Jesus. I am grateful to our dearest Lord for all the financial and spiritual blessings. I am also thankful for the protection of our dearest God, I celebrated my 53rd birthday last July 12 by His mercy. All praise and thanks be to our dearest God alone.

LORD JESUS' GREAT LOVE

I would like to share the goodness and great love of our dearest Lord JESUS in my life.

I was a seaman. I had vices like smoking cigarettes, drinking liquors, and sometimes women, too. Because of these, I caught many kinds of illnesses that medicines and doctors could not heal. After almost eight years of suffering, I became dependent on medicines. My body became immune to antibiotics and it made me hopeless. I was always crying and I asked myself, "If there is a God, why did He let all these things happen to me?" But our Dearest LORD JESUS is true.

Way back 1993, on February 19th, I came to know our Dearest Jesus through the Jesus Miracle Crusade Int'l. Ministry's TV program. I was able to watch and be blessed with the testimony of a sister whose husband suffered from a chronic skin disease. According to her, when they attended an overnight service, she was surprised the next day to see that her beloved husband's skin became dry and was completely healed by our Lord Jesus. I was so blessed that moment that I said to myself there is still hope for me and I will try to attend the Jesus Miracle Crusade service. I had so many illnesses that time including respiratory tract infection, migraine, frequent dizziness, stomach problem. I was desperate. I attended so many churches (mostly in the greater metro area) and tried quack doctors called "espiritista." I never get healed.

My wife and I got to attend the JMCIM service at the Amoranto Stadium. It was an overnight prayer service. I was so blessed, tears were falling from my eyes; I cried so much upon hearing the preaching of our dearly Beloved Pastor Wilde E. Almeda. He preached about salvation and the great importance of being true Christians. Without hesitation, my beloved wife and I decided to be baptized in JESUS' name. That was the morning of February 20, 1993, Saturday. It was really a great feeling. Three days after baptism, my habit of smoking went away. My sicknesses were gradually healed by our Lord Jesus.

Now, we are in our 16th year in serving our Dearest Lord Jesus and really proud to be true Christians through the fervent prayers and fasting of our Beloved Pastor Wilde E. Almeda. We have experienced abundant blessings, threefold blessings: physical, financial/material, and spiritual blessings -- still through the great prayers and sacrifices of our Beloved Pastor. Today, because we've learned how to give our tithes and love offering, our Lord Jesus blessed us so much. I am now working as one of the managers of a shipping company, we are able to attend church services three times a week.

All the glory and praises to our Dearest Lord JESUS. Amen. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

I KNOW GOD TOOK IT ALL AWAY LIKE A FILTHY RAG

Praise the mighty and precious name of our dearest Jesus!
My warmest greetings also to our dearly beloved Honorable Pastor Wilde E. Almeda and to his beloved children and their families.

I came to know our Lord Jesus Christ at a 10-day crusade in Cebu City 18 yrs ago thru the auspices of our beloved Evangelist-Pastor Wilde E. Almeda and his beloved Asst. Pastor Lina C. Almeda. I was then a medical doctor by profession yet, sad to say, I never knew the Bible. I spent my childhood years reared up in the Catholic way. Not until the crusade came to our locality, I came to know our Lord Jesus Christ. I heartily accepted our Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior and received the water baptism in Jesus' name. Visions of a bright heaven like white curtain being opened wide convinced me that heaven is real and literally waiting for me. This vision made a deep impression in my heart to serve the Lord and pursue that great privilege to go to heaven which is my great desire since I was a child. Then I felt tremendous joy and heavenly peace that I never experienced before in my life, I know the touch of God was on me. I felt my body heat up and was seeming real hot which later I came to know that was the baptism of Holy Ghost and fire. Now I know I am truly born again. Aside from all these, my bad habits, bad temper, superiority over my husband, materialist attitude, chronic tonsillitis (I can't even eat candies), deafness, external hemmorhoids, and feeling "cold" have gone. The vices of my beloved husband too are gone. Smoking, cock fighting, roaming around with friends that ended up with drinking beer came to an end. Family discord, fighting, arguments, bickering and petty squabbles also are cleared up. Now, I am enjoying peace and contentment and joy in the home.

Another beautiful experience I had was while I was praising one early morning, the room was filled with smell of perfume and the Holy Spirit said "that is the perfume of our Lord Jesus Christ." These series of events leading one to another made a great impact on me and changed my life completely that led to many persecutions then. The Lord gave me a dream of a shining pair of shoes, then I knew God wants me to go out and preach His glorious gospel since then. To obey His command, I frequently visit a local gov't. hospital and elsewhere, inviting them to come to our great church and get healed without added expense. Unknowingly, I have forgotten all about my profession, I know God took it all away like a filthy rag. Praise the Lord! Now, I know that God called me for a specific purpose, to be part of His great commission, salvation, a better profession than to be a doctor. I have also witnessed miraculous healing of various sicknesses and diseases in this church. I bow, praise the Lord, and extol the Lord Jesus Christ that He is the Greatest Physician of all! I bless the Lord also for the physical, financial and, above all, spiritual blessings.

All the greatest and highest overflowing love, honor, praise and glory with all His majesty I attribute to our Lord Jesus Christ whose great dominion is about to be revealed soon.

GOD IS GOOD

Praise the mighty name of dearest Lord Jesus Christ!

It is a great privilege for me to share with you the wonderful works of the Lord Jesus Christ!

My beloved husband has been an avid television viewer of this congregation for nine long years. He would keep on sharing and would never stop telling me the testimonies he heard from the brethren that testify the goodness of God in their lives but, back then, I did not listen and we end up in a hard discussion. I grew up in a religious family. My parents are very religious as well my aunts, they even spend a lot of money for the seminarians, believing and hoping in the blessing of God in our lives. That was the reason why I didn't want to listen to my husband.

One day, when my husband inhaled carbon monoxide from a vehicle and had asthmatic reaction, I became frightened so I decided to bring him to a doctor for a check-up. All the results were negative, but I can't understand why my husband was still suffering. He couldn't sleep well, his breathing was irregular (it would stop for many seconds). One day, he told me that God is calling him. When I heard those words, I asked the good Lord "why?" many times. Until I remembered the testimonies my husband told me before. That day, I couldn't understand myself and wanted to find this ministry. When we found and attended in this ministry, we were so blessed to feel the presence of God. After the next day, I was awakened by my husband with tears in his eyes saying that God had touched him. On that very hour, he received complete healing. Glory to God!

Not only did my beloved husband received the blessing of the almighty God, I did, too. Before, I was suffering from sicknesses such as asthma and so was my son; I had goiter, trigeminal neuralgia (pain in the facial area) and was once thought to be an epileptic baby. But when God's grace and mercy came, all my sufferings came to an end. Thanks to our ever-loving Savior, Jesus Christ, and for the fervent prayer of the Man of God who is used by Him to pray and fast for us.

The years went by and we continued to serve the good Lord. Then my son, who was eight years old, asked and wanted brothers and sisters to play with. I had much desire to have one, but the reminders of my doctor that I should avoid getting pregnant would always play on my mind because of the sicknesses I had before. But my faith in God has increased. Few months passed by and I truly got pregnant. All throughout my pregnancy, I desired and prayed to the good Lord to give me a healthy, normal, fair-skinned baby. I couldn't understand myself: How can the baby have fair skin when I have brown (morena) skin and my husband has even darker skin tone? But my heart desired it. The word of the Lord came to me and said, "Delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart." That is true! When I gave birth, God blessed me a healthy, normal, fair-skinned baby. That was so amazing! It surprised me a lot.

God is truly good and I feel that God is close to me. When I started serving Him through this ministry, when we accepted Him as our personal Lord and Savior, a lot of good things have happened to me and my family. A family called "home" wherein God is in the center. He shows us the real meaning of life, full of blessings -- material, physical, financial and a lot of spiritual blessings -- that I can truly live my life to the fullest.

To all the beloved readers, God is alive in this ministry. If you're looking for answers to your questions, if you want God to shelter you from the storm, and want peace of mind, heart and soul, God is always waiting for you to come to Him and be blessed. I am really blessed by God that He uses our dearly beloved and honorable Pastor to teach and to preach the Good News for us to be saved.

All glory, honor and praise belong to our ever-loving Savior, Jesus Christ! Amen.

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD

Praise the LORD!

I would like to thank our dearest JESUS for giving me a chance to share my testimonies and blessings that He's given to me and my family.

Last year, when I was in fifth grade, I prayed to dearest JESUS to be included in the classroom honors. When the report cards were distributed, I heard my teacher say, "Please clap your hands for Ojela's mother 'cause Ojela's our top one." I straightway prayed to dearest JESUS in utter gratefulness to Him. I only expected to reach the sixth honor or lower, but He's given me something higher. PRAISE THE LORD! Now, I'm in sixth grade and moved up to section two. I thank our dearest LORD JESUS. On one occasion, I was assigned by my teacher to memorize and practice a piece for a recital. I only had four days to do it. I told myself I can do it and prayed long and hard. I was able to memorize it in two days. PRAISE THE LORD!

There have been times when my family and I don't have anything to eat. My beloved mother would always tell me to pray because nothing is impossible with the good Lord. I would obey her and, moments later, we'd have money for food. I would sometimes see something I really want and dearest JESUS provides it for me.

One day, I got sick so my mother again told me to pray. I heard someone say, "Give her some medicine. She will not be cured if you just let her be." My mom put the Bible on me and told me to sleep and later I'll be healed. When I woke up, I was indeed healed! I did not have a sickness that would not get healed through the prayer of our beloved Pastor.

PRAISE THE NAME OF OUR DEAREST JESUS!
PRAISE THE LORD!
