"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13
"God has said by His Spirit:"
“In these last days I am raising up an Army that will go out and possess the land. Part of this mighty Army are the children who are being trained within Christian schools. These young people will be for signs and wonders that will cause many to come to acknowledge Christ as Lord. They are the ones who will do mighty exploits for God.
“The students in these schools will go out under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, empowered to do the works of Jesus, knowing their authority in Christ and using the Word with great effectiveness. These students will not boast or glory in their own skill or wisdom; rather, they will glory in the fact that they know and understand Me, and that I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me.
“From these schools will come a new generation of students who will move in and take over the schools, churches, universities and corporations and will literally do the ministry of Jesus.
“My Spirit is searching this world over, looking for men and women whose hearts are humbled before Me, who are willing to be obedient to the voice of My Spirit. It will be these men and women whom I will call to give birth to a new generation of Christian schools” (August, 1985) *
This was a word given by the Lord to me for the Lord Immanuel Institute Foundation, Inc. as written in the first textbook for my course at the Regent University School of `Education. Because of my responsibilities as a doctor, it was a challenge to answer the call of God to finish this program toward a Master’s degree in Education, majoring in Christian School Administration. However, when I saw this vision, I knew that the Lord has led me through this challenge because He has a marvelous plan for the Lord Immanuel.
Dear Lord Immanuel Students and Graduates,
God has a marvelous plan for you, too. You will “do mighty exploits for God”. The vision of the Lord Immanuel is God’s vision for you:
“From the Lord Immanuel will come graduates who love God with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind, all their strength, and who will be part of the great army of the living God equipped by Him, as disciple-makers, in all areas of life to boldly extend His kingdom with love to the end of the earth, to the end of the age, to the praise of His glory.”
Will you accept the challenge? May you do so, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name.

Panalangin – Immanuel: God with us
Elizabeth Zaraspe Yoo, MD
Ang Diyos ay kasama natin palagi. Mayroon ba kayong dalamhati sa inyong puso, masakit na damdamin, mga suliraning hindi malutas, mga pananaw na hindi makamtam, sakit sa katawan, pag-iisip at damdamin?
Ang ating Lord Immanuel ay narito at sinabi Niya, kapiling moa ko pang habang panahon. Immanuel na ang ibig sabihin ay, “Kasama natin ang Diyos”. Hindi Siya lalayo kahit ano manang mangyari.
Dumaan man ikaw sa madilim na libis ng kamatayan, wala kang katatakutan, pagkat Siya ay palaging kaagapay.
Mahal na mahal ka ng Diyos. Sabi ng aklat ni Jeremiah, “Sapagka’t batid kong lubos ang mga plano ko para sa inyo; sabi ng Diyos, mga planong hindi ikakasama kundi para sa inyong ikabubuti. Ito’y mga planong magdudulot sa inyo ng kinabukasang punong puno ng pag-asa.” (Jer. 29:11)
Ang ating mga kasalanan ay humahadlang sa pagtupad sa magandang planong ito sa ating buhay
kaya napunta ang Panginoong Hesus, Lord Immanuel, para matubos ang lahat ng ating kasalanan at mabigyan tayo ng bagong buhay a masagana at ganap.
“Sapagkat dahil sa kagandahang loob ng Diyos kayo ay naligtas sa pamamagitan ng pananampalatay; at ang kaligtasang ito ay kaloob ng Diyos at hind isa pamamagitan ng inyong mga sarili; hindi bunga ng inyong mga gawa kaya’t walang dapat ipagmalaki ang sinuman.” Efeso 2:8,9.
Manalangin tayo: Panginoon, Lord Immanuel, salamat at kasama Kita at hindi mo ako iiwan. Alam kong ako’y makasalanan. Maraming salamat, Panginoong Hesus sa pagtubos mo sa aking
kasalanan. Nais kong ikaw ay maging tagapagligtas ko at ang aking Lord Immanuel. Ibinigay ko sa Inyo ng aking buhay. Gawin Ninyo ang nais Ninyo sa akin para sa paglaki ng Inyongkaharian. Sa panglan ni Hesus, Amen.
FROM THE LORD IMMANUEL INSTITUTE FOUNDATION, INC. WILL COME GRADUATES WHO LOVE GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEART. ALL THEIR SOUL, ALL THEIR MIND, ALL THEIR STRENGTH, AND WHO WILL BE PART OF THE GREAT ARMY OF THE LIVING GOD EQUIPPED BY HIM, AS DISCIPLE MAKERS, IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE TO BOLDLY EXTEND HIS KINGDOM WITH LOVE TO THE END OF THE EARTH, TO THE END OF THE AGE, TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.
A CHRIST-CENTERED, DISCIPLE MAKING COMMUNITY EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE LORD IMMANUEL INSTITUTE FOUNDATION INC. (LIIFI) SEEKS TO FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION THROUGH ITS STUDENTS, STAFF, ALUMNI, AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AND JESUS CAME AND SPOKE TO THEM, SAYING, "ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATION, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU; AND BEHOLD, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE." AMEN. (MATTHEW 28:18-20)
