Ever tried switching from warm ocean waters to cold spring waters? It’s exhilarating! Hmmmm... pool resorts or beaches in Timoga. You choose, or why not both! Try the beaches at Timoga and the spring pools located just across the street. There you can have a swim in the cold pools of fresh spring water and then cross the street to take a dip in the warm ocean water.
"You are Invited"
This site is for YOU
Pilar, seat of grand reunion turned global,
Almost all kins flock, their hearts enthralled;
Remembering fondly naughty days of youth,
Aroused with love brimming with gratitude, for
Dear parents’ untold sacrifices; yet with joy,
Entrusted their children’s lives to God’s own ways; for
Love, marks of toil on loving hands! Now they’ve come!
Achieving! Reminiscing: “ There’s no place like home!”
Today, the city has become a popular place to visit in the southern part of the Philippines. Its friendly people, refreshing waterfalls, warm beaches, colorful celebrations, and booming industries, attract visitors and investors both domestic and foreign.

Isaiah 61:1 (NIV)The Year of the LORD’s Favor 1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
A PRAYER:
BREAKING THE STRONGHOLDS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1. Affirmation of our Redemption through Christ Jesus)
Lord Jesus, I come to You, just as I am.
Please forgive my sins as I am sorrowful and repentent.
In Your Name and grace, I forgive all others of their sins against me.
I have invited You to be Master of my life, to live in me, and I in You.
Thank You for responding with the Gift of the Holy Spirit Who procedes
from You and the Father. I empty myself daily so Your Spirit can possess
me all the more, transforming me, healing me, and strengthening me
in body, soul and spirit. I love You, Lord Jesus! I praise You!
As sheep follow their sheperd, I will follow You every day of my life.
I am gratefully Your servant.
_______________________________
(2. Preparing to enter the Holy of Holies)
Our Father, through our High Priest, Your Son the Christ,
and through the intercession of Your most Holy Spirit,
I know You hear our prayers and I am so grateful!
You told us, Your children, that whenever we are in need,
we should come bravely before Your throne of mercy.
There we will be treated with undeserved kindness and
we will find help. (Heb. 4:16.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3. In the Holy of Holies)
Father, I am here, bravely, humbly and gratefully before
Your throne, in Your Holy of Holies, open to me by the
incomprehensible love of our Lord the Christ.
Christ gives me courage and confidence so I can be before You in faith.
(Eph. 3:12.)
Because of Christ, all of us from all over this earth can come to You
by the same Spirit. (Eph 2:18.) Thank you, my Lord and my God!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4. Preparing to address the strongholds)
My prayers in this sacred moment in Your Presence
focus on breaking the strongholds of evil in all their forms,
expressions and ways. I begin with myself, confessing
my sins to You, my Lord and God, and asking Your
forgiveness and renewal of my soul and spirit, which
You are so eager and ready to provide to those who ask.
In Your mercy, forgiveness and love, I know I am cleansed and
thus free of any handles that the powers of evil could
otherwise grab to pull me away from You and Your will.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5. Addressing the strongholds)
By virtue of the ambassadorial power given me by You,
that whatever we would bind on earth would be bound in
heaven, and by the power of the Holy Spirit in me, I pray You rebuke
and render powerless over me Satan and his diabolical emissaries.
Our Lord, You taught us that Satan has always been a
murderer and a liar. There is nothing truthful about him.
He speaks on his own and everything he says is a lie. Not only
is he a liar himself, but he is the father of all lies. (John 8:44.)
I know about his ways and I call upon the Holy Spirit and
the wisdom of discernment of spirits to recognize his lies
regarding the endeavors I pursue in Jesus' Name, regarding
the prayers I offer for healing, reconciliation, restoration of our souls
and deliverance and protection from evil.
The scriptures tell us, "God's own Son protects them
(His children) and the devil cannot harm them." (1 John 5:18.)
I choose to live on the Bread of Life and drink the Living Water.
Holy Spirit, expose the lies, disguises, deceptions, sneakiness,
ugliness and violence of the evil ones.
I pray for the binding up and casting out of the powers of darkness
from all aspects of my life, relationships, ministries. I pray for
the powerlessness of evil over the Body of Christ
and the fulfillment of our merciful and loving God's will for us.
I know You, Holy Spirit in me, is pleased to receive these prayers
and do this work of binding and casting evil away from us,
for I call upon You in the Name of our Lord, the Christ.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6. Prayers of Affirmation)
I pray the Scriptures: "Lord, I am humble in the presence
of Your mighty power, and You will honor me when the time comes.
You care for me so I turn all my worries over to You.
I am on guard and I stay awake. Our enemy, the devil,
is like a roaring lion, sneaking around to find someone to attack.
But I resist the devil and stay strong in my faith.
I know all over the world Your followers are suffering just as I am.
But You show undeserved kindness to everyone.
That's why You had Jesus Christ choose us to share in Your eternal glory.
We will suffer for a while, but You will make us complete, steady, strong and firm.
You will be in control forever! Amen." (1 Peter 5:6-11.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(7. Prayers for guidance, protection and of praise)
Our Father, increase Your grace and protection upon
all those committed in Your service. Endow all of us with
the power and strength of Your blessing as we work as Your servants.
May all who see us see You in us and glorify You.
Guide us and help us guide others in the way of salvation and
spiritual maturity as we sing praises to You and
to Your boundless mercy and love with one voice.
In the Name of Jesus the Christ and through the power
and intercession of the Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen. So be it.
______________________________________
Please note: This prayer is meant to be offered slowly, personally and contemplatively, pausing frequently to listen to that "still, small voice" of God. The structure is important: The first 3 sections are a preparation and entry into God's Presence, the Holy of Holies. Please pause as long as you need to feel that Presence. The 4th section is important preparation to pray against the armies of darkness. Please pause after those for as long as you need to feel empowered by the Holy Spirit. If you don't feel confident of this empowerment, it's best to not continue, or begin again, proceeding slowly. The 5th section is focused on prayers to break the evil strongholds. Many words are general (i.e. ministries, work, relationships, sin, etc.) and you should interject your own specifics here. The 6th section are prayers of affirmation adapted from scripture. The 7th and final section is a petition of grace, blessing and praise, an important way to end and remain in quiet contemplation of God's love, power and protectiveness.
Finally, regarding the timing and forms of how our prayers are answered, let me end with this declaration from God: "My thoughts and My ways are not like yours. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, My thoughts and My ways are higher than yours. Rain and snow fall from the sky. But they don't return without watering the earth that produces seeds to plant and grain to eat. That's how it is with My words. They don't return to Me without doing everything I send them to do." (Isaiah 55:8-10.)
Psalm 91:1
1 He who lives in the shelter of the Most High, who lodges under the shadow of the Almighty, 2:says of the Lord, `He is my refuge and fortress, my God in whom I put my trust.' 3:He will rescue you from the fowler's snare and from deadly pestilence. 4:He will cover you with his wings; you will find refuge beneath his pinions.
(in the full armour of God - Ephesians 6)
His truth will be a shield and buckler.
5:You will not fear the terrors abroad at night or the arrow that flies by day, 6:the pestilence that stalks in darkness or the plague raging at noonday. 7:A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand close at hand, but you it will not touch. 8:With your own eyes you will observe this; you will see the retribution on the wicked. 9:Surely you are my refuge, Lord. You have made the Most High your dwelling-place;
Ephesians 6
10:Finally, find your strength in the Lord, in his mighty power.
11:Put on the full armour provided by God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the stratagems of the devil.
12:For our struggle is not against human foes, but against cosmic powers, against the authorities and potentates of this dark age, AGAINST THE SUPERHUMAN FORCES OF EVIL in the heavenly realms.
13:Therefore, take up the armour of God; then you will be able to withstand them on the evil day and, after doing your utmost, to stand your ground.
14:Stand fast, I say. Fasten on the belt of truth; for a breastplate put on integrity;
15:let the shoes on your feet be the gospel of peace, to give you firm footing;
16:and, with all these, take up the great shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the burning arrows of the evil one. 17:Accept salvation as your helmet, and the sword which the Spirit gives you, the word of God.
18:Constantly ask God's help in prayer, and pray always in the power of the Spirit. To this end keep watch and persevere, always interceding for all God's people.
19:Pray also for [Jo], that [she] may be granted the right words when [she] speaks, and may boldly and freely make known the hidden purpose of the gospel
Our focus is on Jesus Christ his kingdom and victory not darkness and its manifestations. Jesus has a habit of bringing to light things that are hidden. Jesus' light shines into darkness and has overcome the enemy on our behalf. Where Jesus Christ is Lord the hidden forces of darkness will not only be revealed, but defeated. Jesus did not look for or encourage manifestations, rather He commanded the evil spirits to be silent and then leave.
