Faith Without Boundaries

I just browsed through the updates of our model church, MCI in Bogotha, Colombia. It's amazing, mind-blowing and faith-rising to know that at present they have a total of 55,000 cells for Men's Net, Women's Net and Youth Net. WOW!!! When I read that, it's like there's an explosion that happened in my heart... an explosion that broke down the walls and boundaries that my faith had.

God brought me back to the time when in my devotions, He gave me a simple but very powerful verse in Luke 1:47 "For nothing is impossible with God." That morning when I received that word, I felt the Father feeding my faith in Him. The Father broke open the prison of impossibilities that held my faith. It was a time when He started to show me that there is going to be healing, breakthrough in finances, opening of new cells, homes, offices, schools, outreaches, a big venue for Sunday Service, new full-time support staff and many others. He showed me a lot of things to believe for... as He keeps whispering to me, "nothing will be impossible, My child." And I saw them coming to pass one by one... AMAZING!!

I realized that before God unfolds His miracles and wonders, He will begin by stirring up our faith, fanning its flames, breaking its limits, destroying its boundaries and giving it a new picture of what to believe for... Before He can show us His mighty deeds, He will first prepare our faith. Because it is our faith that receives the powerful deeds of our Mighty God.

Healing... We experienced miraculous healings during our Women's Encounter. And I believe that this will keep on going. We will not stop laying our hands on the sick, for they shall recover.

Financial breakthroughs... Both the Women's and Men's Encounter have excess money ready for the next Encounter. Take note, there was an EXCESS in the finances. God did not just provide what we needed, He gave us more!!! Plus, we are able to purchase the equipment that we need for our transfer to our new home for the Sunday Service. Our family is not poor!! Because our Father is not poor!! Rich Dad!!!

Openings... Several people are now opening new cells in the homes, schools, dorms and offices. We stopped counting how many people are being won, we're just trying to keep track of the number of cells. (Please don't ask me yet, we do not have the final official count of the cells we have right now.) A few weeks ago, Ptr Carlo also started a weekly Bible study in an office in Taft Avenue. We are surrounded by a lot of open doors for the Kingdom... Good thing, we have a pool of people in the School of Leaders ready to open their own cells. We're living in exciting times! The nation inside each of us is now being born!

Big home for the Sunday Service... We are coming out of our small coccoon in Kamias. We are now going to have our Sunday Service in SM North EDSA Cinema 5. It is really big! Big enough to accomodate all of us... and much, much more. We have a huge room for growth and multiplication. Ready for the multitudes!

New support staff... Praise God! There are more hands to support us in taking care of our growing DMI-Manila Family. Three beautiful ladies took on the challenge to be part of our dream team. Our two new full-time support staff are Herlene Cawagdan and Mafel Esperida. We also have a new part-time support staff, Shiela Austero.

There are a lot more to unfold before us. Our Father will continue to show His mighty power in our midst, in our nation and the nations around us. The Father is stirring up our faith to believe Him for more... believe Him for ALL! Because with our Father, nothing is impossible. What our mind cannot conceive, His hand can give. What our faith can believe, He will cause us to receive.

It all starts when He begins to fuel the flames of our faith...

"We all need intimate moments with the Father so that we can enter into that dimension of faith where we can change our circumstances and see the Father working in power." Cesar Castellanos
