The prophecy was delivered unexpectedly and extemporaneously last October 27, 2001. The venue was the "Catch the Fire" conference of Harvest International Ministries in California, U.S.A..
Cindy Jacobs, American founder and head of a worldwide prayer network: Generals of Intercession, author of three bestselling books on prayer, prophecy and spiritual warfare; and widely recognized "prophet to the nations" was an invited speaker.
At one point in the conference, two of a handful of Filipinos there, Pastor Jerome Ocampo and his wife Annabelle, were called onstage. They were prayed for and asked to receive the financial "love offering" for the day to benefit the "Jesus Revolution" youth revival to be held at the Luneta in Manila the next month. Cindy Jacobs was invited onstage to make the call for support for the revival.
When Cindy came up, she immediately sensed a stirring in her spirit.. "Don't you feel a sense of destiny on this stage?" remarked the prophetically gifted intercessor who had been to the Philippines once in 1996 for a conference.
"She was shaking," recalls Jerome as Cindy turned towards them. "It's as if she couldn't hold back what she wanted to say. It just exploded, tuluy-tuloy." In a high, clear, commanding voice, the words gushed out from Cindy in a torrent, without a single pause. Her prophecy was amazingly specific and accurate," Jerome marveled.. This is what she said:
"Jerome, the Lord would say to the Philippines -I am shaking everything that can be shaken so that no man can glory in what I will do. For I have waited for a generation that I could raise up a purity and a holiness in. And I am raising up firebrands!
There is a forerunner anointing coming upon the youth of the Philippines that will prepare the way of the Lord, even into the Middle East. Look and see what I will do in Mindanao. For I am going to visit in a way that you cannot imagine! I am coming to Mindanao, says the Lord, as God and the Lord of Hosts, and I am going to start appearing. As a sign that I am going to truly change the nation, I am going to show myself to the guerilla leaders. I am going to come, says the Lord, and I am going to begin at the places in the Philippines that have been the bloodiest; the places where the guerillas' insurrection have been the strongest. And I am going to come with signs and wonders and miracles! I am getting ready to pour out a miracle anointing upon the Philippines such as the earth has never seen! For Indonesia, they had a mighty rushing wind. But in the Philippines they will have the fire from heaven that will begin to fall! And this will be a purging fire! And I will say, I will visit even as if in a day, says God. Do not think that I am not able to come in a day and begin to unravel the iniquities of the nation, says the Lord!
I am going to visit the military. I am getting ready to come among the young in the military. And the Lord says, there's going to be a revolution of righteousness that comes within the military.
I'm getting ready to dethrone everything that needs to be dethroned, for even the bowls of heaven are full. Oh, I see the bowls in heaven are just getting ready to be tipped over the Philippines and I am going to spill out my glory!
And the Lord says, I will remove the shame that Satan has tried to put upon this nation! And the Lord says, look and see, for even the blood of the martyrs cries out from Saudi Arabia! The blood of the martyrs cries out from those Islamic nations, and my Filipino people that have laid their lives down. Do not think I haven't seen it! Do not think I am looking away! Do not think I do not see you! Do not think I do not see you, Philippines; for I see you! You are the apple of my eye! You are a treasure unto me!
This is the day and this is the hour when I begin to change everything, says the Lord! I'm going to change the judicial system. I'm going to dethrone corrupt judges. I'm getting ready to deal with the police force. I'm going to expose, expose, expose, expose!
And the Lord says, look and see what I will do! For I will open up my treasure chest from the Philippines! And I am going to release finances for the Philippines that will surprise and shake even Hongkong! For I am getting ready to move a distribution of wealth, says God. And I am getting ready to open the oil! I am getting ready to open that which is in the ocean! I'm getting ready to bring forth a revolution even in the economic systems, in the finance systems!
Look to the university in Manila, says God. For I am going to bring a revival that the-Oh my Lord!--- the Lord says, not hundreds, but thousands and thousands and thousands are going to get saved!! The Lord says, can I touch a whole university? Yes I can touch a whole university! I can come with my glory and I can come with my power in ways that you cannot imagine!
For I am coming, says God! I am coming and I will remain, says the Lord!
The Mind of the Melancholeric Man: Musings on Life and Ministry by Patrick Tan
Haven't blog for a while. (Did I just said that?) Anyway, have been reflecting on my ministry this time. Have I been a faithful steward of God's assignments? I feel a little sad yet unforgiving of myself of how I have conducted myself in terms of endurance or better yet, consistency. Right now, I'm swamped with design projects making it hard to focus on ministry. Well, dare no one talk to me about commitment.
This week I had a meeting with Youth Gospel Center's resident pastor to talk about Book of Hope. I was a little frustrated of the turn out. I never imagined being different in denominations yet serving the same Jesus would be a big of a deal, being them an Evangelical and us Pentecostal. In other words, he politely negate my proposal and left me hanging for the next week. At that instant, even at the meeting I felt down, even my face can't hide it. I'm bad or care less about hiding my reactions. Yet I am still an advocate of hope. I will wait for a reply next week.
Dr. Koeshall from Chi Alpha in Belgium is coming to town. A very kind and loving guy, the warmest professor during AIYS. I can't wait to see him in Feb. Then I began to reflect of the fruits of my time spent in AIYS, Asian Institute of Youth Studies. What has changed? Well, let me think for a while..
I met good friends. Kuya Sur, Tim, Leslie... I've help pioneer two campus cellgroups after that, though I am frustrated at myself for being inconsistent. Being a choleric or melancholy, I go by the schedule, once something change I get confused, I mean, my momentum is affected. Plus, do I always have to do everything? Yet I am already gearing up myself to make a comeback, reflecting these stuff and all. I do not want to be average, yet it seem like it. AIYS also widened my perspective of the Kingdom ministry. AIYS leveled my understanding and my devotion up by a couple of steps, still long way to go.

There will come a time when you will see the need that affects you and the people around you. And the power of change the course of crisis lies only within your hands. What would you do? My time is waning slow, yet soon I will leave too. What would you do? Being ordinary is accepting defeat. Brother, aim high and reach for the skies!
Haven't blog for a while. Seem uninterested to share my life's happenings.
Today I just stayed at home. Cleaned by tank, gave the cats a bath and took a bath myself. Bathing my cats are quite an experience. Jet is almost used to taking a bath, he just stay still when I bathe him, until the cold water gets to him and he then he starts meowing and shaking cold. Adi on the other hand is a pain in the ass when I bathe her, she always runs away from the water and screams like a broken record.
In the evening I met my friends in Greenbelt 3. Ray, Ting's (my friend) boyfriend is in town. He's Canadian. They announced that they are already getting married. Wow, time really flies so fast.

Been listening to Gregorian Chant's Christmas Album. I am not a fan of Gregorian Chant group, but ecclectic accapellas in foreign languages (latin). I didn't like it when they covered modern pop songs such as 'Losing My Religion'.. it was so artificial and trying hard.
Today was a very productive day, even though I woke up time for lunch.. haha. I worked on some stuff from work. Went to the bank to get some money. I've been organizing my finance so I pay my bills and expenses first rather than later. Then went to Grand Central to purchase cellphone for my Sun cellular. I got a 2nd hand Nokia 1100, 'like new' as they say.. no box, no charger, no sim.. just the phone.
I was the last in my family to acquire a Sun cellular. My brother first and my parents second. Btw, fyi, Sun allows unlimited text and call to fellow Sun owners for a monthly competitive price.
My dad is the connoisseur in cellphone shopping, I am very impatient in going around stalls comparing and bargaining for the lowest price. Finally after an hour of going around, we finally got it. Sun sim is nowhere to be found in the mall.. all out of stock.
After that I went to Wendy's MCU to meet a client. Then went to Sangandaan market to my father's suggestion, that's where he got his Sun sim for a very low price.

I was almost robbed last night! On my way home, I was on the LRT station in Buendia, a couple motioned to me that my back pocket was torn open, with my wallet (and my white undies) visible. It was impossible that it was the thickness of my wallet (ahem, those aren't cash, but cards etc..) that broke my pants. I think it was when I rode the jeepney to the LRT station that my pants were torn open.. oh well, one good pants ruined. Thank God nothing very important was taken from me. It was more of embarassment than fear that came upon me after that incident, cause the tear is so obvious I have to walk awkwardly and cover my butt with the books that I was holding.
During my Stress and Conflict Management class, it was my time to share my thoughts. We are having the Wise Man game, a role play, where if I were to meet a very wise man in the mountains who know everything about me, what would the wise man say about me that I didn't know that I know.. confusing question, but something like that. I was already prepared since last year's class, but our class has 9 students in all taking turns to answer the question. I was among the last to speak. I was to share three things that about myself that I didn't know I know..
First, I realize that I have a fear for or unwillingness to change.
Second, I have a fear of or not fully developed in terms of intimacy.
Third, I am always concious of the impressions and opinions of other people about me.
Even though I am pro change and rally change to others. I somehow dread change. Dread in a sense of unwilling to or too lazy to receive changes. Many times change has occured in my life and I always didn't like it (refer to blog entry April 22, 2004, "Changes"). My motivation right now is always to ask myself, "What can I achieve or accomplish if I have no fear?" That motivates me to charter the unknown. And most of the time, there is green pasture on the other side of the wall.
What would I do, what can I achieve, if I have no fear?

Yesterday was my first day of class in 2005. I am very glad that I have finally returned to school. All those whining about feeling lazy and idle somehow was minimize when I stepped into ASCM again. It got my mind and body flowing. As usual as I was late for my first class, I woke up at 7AM with a miscommunication again with mother, I was supposed to be awaken at 6AM. Catch an LRT, no seat left, I was standing the whole trip to Makati.
