22 JAN 2021 · How Is Your Heart? | Michael Cariño | Tagalog-English Message | SPOTIFY "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths of your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or to the left; keep your foot from evil." | Proverbs 4: 23-27, NIV The Bible tells us that the heart is the seat of all actions of life. The “heart” is used in Scripture as the most comprehensive term for the inner person. It is the part of our being where we desire, deliberate, and decide. It describes the total person as a whole; his feelings, desires, passions, thoughts, understanding and will, and the center of a person. We are told to keep our hearts with all diligence. The mind, emotions, and our will are what’s inside of us, our thoughts, our priorities, our desires, the sum total of all that we allow into our eyes and ears and our mind is what comes out in our actions and our words. 1. What you always say can distort your heart. 2. What you always see can destroy your heart. 3. What you always serve can direct your heart.

16 JAN 2021 · How To Overcome Fear | Michael Cariño | Tagalog-English Message | SPOTIFY We all struggle with fear. There is an endless list of fears that people have. Fear is part of our lives. Not all fears are wrong. Sometimes fear can be good for us: • Fear helps us avoid danger, disease, death, and damage • Fear helps us avoid making terrible mistakes that lead to disasters • Fear helps us to choose wise and healthy decisions But, when fear controls, shapes, and drives our lives, when we panic and are paralyzed by fear, this can destroy us. How do we overcome fear? Guideline 1: Admit your fear. Guideline 2: Confront your fear. Guideline 3: Recognize the things you cannot change or understand. Guideline 4: Understand that tough times are not forever. Guideline 5: Focus on something that is greater than fear. It helps when you recognize that courage is not really the absence of fear. Rather it is the realization that something is far greater than fear. When you focus on the brighter side of things, darkness will lose its power on you. When you focus on whatever is good, whatever is lovely, whatever is true; when you focus on God’s love, God’s care, God’s plan, and God’s promises for you, your fear tends to melt away. Fear is replaced by peace, confidence, and courage when you finally see that your problems are small compared to how big God is. Did you know that there are 365 verses in the Bible that say “do not fear”? This means, that God wants us to overcome our fears by focusing on Him.

16 JAN 2021 · Habits of Truly Happy People | Michael Cariño | Tagalog-English Message | SPOTIFY The Bible says that "A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing, But a broken spirit dries up the bones" (Proverbs 17: 22). The main difference between happy and unhappy people are habits. Happy people engage in more happiness-boosting habits while unhappy people engage in more misery-inducing habits. It’s as simple as that. Happiness doesn’t come from wealth, perfect looks, or even a perfect relationship. Happiness comes from within. This is why, if you truly want to be happy, you need to work on yourself, first. Those who are happy tend to follow a certain set of habits that create peace in their lives; if you learn to apply these habits in your own life, there’s a good chance you’ll be happy too. Habits of Truly Happy People: 1. They set GOALS 2. They are GRATEFUL 3. They find the GOOD in every situation 4. They GET WISDOM by listening 5. They GROW a healthy lifestyle 6. They GIVE generously 7. They let GO of grudges 8. They trust GOD

16 JAN 2021 · The Heart That God Seeks | Michael Cariño | Tagalog-English Message | SPOTIFY Many Christians today are busy serving God, but their hearts are not right before God. The contamination of their disobedient hearts is defiling the very sacrifices they offer. To live in sin during the week and then worship God on a Sunday was like dragging a corpse into the church. It defiled everything. If we think that God would bless us just because we are doing ministry, we are sadly mistaken. God isn’t fooled by anyone who serves Him while hiding sin in his heart. The heart that God seeks, is the heart that seeks God. True blessings come to those who have pure hearts, who encounter God's presence, and who trust God's promises. God blesses us when: 1) Our hearts are RIGHT with God. 2) Our hearts RESPOND to God's discipline. 3) Our hearts RELY on God's faithfulness.
