"LIVING FOR A GOOD CAUSE"

Are you living for a good cause?
Of course I am!
Could you tell me for which one?
Yes! For my own!
Aren’t you ashamed to say that?
No! Why should I?
I work hard for what I have! You don’t think I deserve it?
Yes you do! But….
Shouldn’t you share a little with the needy?
No!I don’t think so!If I don’t see for myself,who is going to do it for me?
Listen: We all have a reason to be alive! We all have a duty in this world!
TO LOVE GOD AND TO LOVE PEOPLE!
To love people is to help them! It is to help the needy, to feed the poor!
But besides the necessities of the body, they are others:
TO FEED THE HUNGRY SOULS FOR GOD!
Our souls are eternal!
That means that after this short time we are living on Earth, we have to:
“UNZIPPED THE BODY FROM US AND THROW IT INTO THE GRAVE!”
Then, you are not going to need a fancy car, or a palace to live,
or expensive foods to eat, because you won’t need any!
Further more, your soul would not have a place to rest! Why? Because you:
DID NOT SPEND SOME OF YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR IT!
We are not going to take any of our possessions when we depart from this
world, just our GOOD DEEDS!
And when you be face to face with the Lord, and He asks you:
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE! What are you going to answer?
I TOOK A GOOD CARE OF MYSELF???
The love for ourselves is called: PRIDE!
The love for others is called: CHARITY!
Charity comes from CHRIST, and when we receive Him in ourselves…
HE MAKES US TO FEEL AND ENJOY LOVING PEOPLE!
TO LOVE PEOPLE IS TO LOVE GOD!
Living for a good cause it causes in us the pleasure of Love!
RECEIVE GOD’S BLESSINGS WHEN YOU BLESS OTHERS!
With love in your heart you could very easy :

PRAISE THE LORD!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"WHAT IS GRACE 2"

There is a lot of likeness in a bull fight and what happened to Jesus Christ!
C’mon man! Don’t tell me that!
Yes! Listen:
The Old Testament says that there use to sacrifice to God innocent victims
in a holocaust, the people use to lay their hands on it before being sacrificed,so their sins were transferred to the victim, and be able to get rid of them.
They sacrificed bulls, sheep and other pure animals.
In the case of the bull fight, they sacrifice an innocent victim it is true,but not offered to God but to the pleasure an entertainment.
The same thing happened with Jesus, but instead of laying their hands on him,they were hitting him,instead of praying to him,they were insulting him!
Instead of kissing him, they were spitting at him, and so on!
Thorns were sink on his head! Nails were drilling his hands and feet,
and after that, they hung him on a cross that portraits as a long sword
in his back!
And then, piercing him on his side with a spear spreading his blood all over,and without complaint at all, He was willing to die for all to save them!
What a man! What a God!
He died for all of us that offend God violating his Laws!
Hopping we recognize our sins, and change our direction toward the Almighty God Creator of heaven and earth!
“O God, the blood of bulls and goats cannot satisfy You, so You have made
me born in a human flesh to offer it to You as a sacrifice upon the altar”
“You were not satisfied with the animal sacrifices, slain and burnt before You, as a sacrifice for sin.”
“Here I come my Lord to give my life as the scriptures said I would do”
Hebrews 10 : 5 and 7.
If somebody asks you: What is Grace?
And you answer: It is like a bull fight!
You miss completely the point of the subject! Because:
Grace is Love! Grace is Mercy!Grace is forgiveness,Grace is Salvation!

“GRACE IS THE MERCY WE RECEIVE DIRECTLY FROM GOD,
WHEN WE ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE OF HIS SON AS A FULL
PAYMENT FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS”
And then…
And then: We humbly call Him: LORD!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHAT IS GRACE?"

Yes! That is my question! What is Grace, where can we buy it?
No my friend! Grace is not for sale! Grace is:
The acceptance of an undeserved favor!
Grace is Love! Grace is Mercy, Compassion, Grace is Forgiveness!
And its cost was so great that with all the money on the world….
WE CANNOT BUY IT!
Is that so?
Of course!It cost to God to sacrifice his only Son on a cross to obtain it,
and to give it as a present to whom with humbleness wants to receive it!
I’m sorry but I don’t know what you are talking about!
What is Grace for?
Very well! I am going to explain it to you with more detail:
Have you ever been in a bull fight?
Yes! I have, but I don’t know what Grace has to do with it?
Listen:
In a bull fight,“El matador”as we call them, or bull fighter if you
please,has to pass the bull thru a red cape many times until the bull is exhausted,exhibiting this passes as an art, and, depending the fieriness of the bull it is considered a good bull!
A bull with caste, from a good breed!
So, after the “Matador “Finishes with the bull, he picks up a long sword,
and stucks it all the way into the bulls body,killing him almost instantly!
When the people considers that it was a fierce bull, they take out white
handkerchiefs and shake them up on the air showing the judge of the
event that they don’t want the bull to be killed!
If the judge considers that they are enough of them, he makes a signal
to the bull fighter to spare the life of the bull! To indult it!
To pardon it!
I am going to tell you again: What does a bull fight has to do with Grace?
I’ll tell you: When we sin, the violation of God’s Law, condemn us to die!
Sin is to hurt people, and death is the penalty!
Contrary to the bull, in order to be spared, we have to talk directly to
the Supreme Judge and beg Him for our indult, or forgiveness!
He knew we were sinners and also that we were unable to pay the high
price for Grace so He sent his Son, innocent of any sin, or guilt to pay
for our debt, granting us as an unworthy gift: His Grace.
An undeserved favor Jesus Christ gives us just for believing in Him!
Grace is not for sale! We simply accept it, or reject it!
Pride makes us to reject it! Humbleness to accept it
The bull after was indulged, never goes back to the arena for another
encounter with the bull fighter, because this time he may be killed!
We, people, after we have been forgiven, should not return to the “arena”
of sin, we should remain clean! To give…GLORY TO GOD!

"WHAT IS SIN?"

We all do it!
We all have done it!
We all will keep doing it, if we do not find what it is!
What is SIN?
Sin is the impurity we allow to enter inside of us, and contaminate us all!
Well, that could be one of the many definitions, sin could also be:
The forbidden pleasures for which we have to pay a very high price! Or:
The wild horse we love to ride and we end biting the dust because we
can not tame it! And we are so stubborn, that we are always ready for
another ride.
Seriously! What is SIN?
In order to find out what sin is, we have to go into the Bible, at the
beginning of Genesis, and find out! Are you ready?
Yes! Let’s go!
God created man pure, clean, without sin, and He made for him, as a
company a woman named Eve.
God had in paradise all kind of trees that bear good fruits to eat, and He
told them they could eat from any of them, except from the one located
at the center of the garden.
This was misinterpreted as sex, but it is not so, because God also told
them to replenish the earth, so sex is not the first sin!
No? Then what is it? What is sin?
Going back to Genesis, we find that God gave the only two human
beings in existence, just one Commandment:
Do not eat the fruits from the tree in the midst of the garden!
So, the Command was broken when they ate!
Oh, shut up! We all know what happen! Tell me, what sin is?
SIN IS DISOBEDIENCE!
SIN IS REBELLION!
SIN IS PRIDE!
SIN IS TO PUT OUR WILL AGAINST GOD’S WILL!
The purity of the first man was contaminated with disobedience,
and all their descendants also will be contaminated with sin!
Wow! I thought….
I know! But not just you! Many, many people are!
Just one Commandment and they could not obey it! How about ten?
But don’t worry! God sent the antidote to overcome sin!
It is called: GRACE!
GRACE?
WHAT IS GRACE?

To be continued…..In the mean time….

PRAISE THE LORD!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS"

Jose: I have to ask you something:
Go ahead! I am listening!
Are you trying to make a new religion, sect, or anything like it?
No! Not at all!
I am a Christian and my only purpose is to magnify Christ for what He is:
THE WONDERFUL SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!
I know that my illustrations some times go out of proportion,but,that is
with the purpose to help you understand a little bit better a Bible context.
If my writings make you go to the Bible to check it out…
PRAISE THE LORD! YOU ARE READING THE BIBLE!
I just want to put the periods over the “Iota” our “i”
That what you said, makes me to come with another question:
IS THE VIRGEN MARY MOTHER OF GRACE?
YES! SHE IS!
But not to obtain Grace from her, but because she is the mother of Jesus!
Jesus Christ is GRACE! The same is true with MERCY!
She is the mother of Mercy, because she is the mother of Jesus!
Jesus Christ is Grace, Mercy, Glory, HE IS SALVATION, NOT HER
Should we worship her?
The Bible says in Revelation: WORSHIP GOD ONLY! Rev. 19:10
Worship God: For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy.
But at least, should we thank her for what she did?
Of course!
She is the blessed among women as the Archangel Gabriel said but still,
WORSHIP ONLY GOD!
But could we venerate her?
My friend:
I guess you have to open up a dictionary to find out what worship mean!
We could thank her as a human person not as a goddess or a “god”
If you could ask her:
Mary, mother of my Savior,
How could I follow your Son? She probably answers to you:

HIS LIFE FOR YOU HAS GIVEN
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN,
IF SALVATION IS WHAT YOU MEAN…
DON’T FOLLOW ME…FOLLOW HIM!

Thank you Mary, mother of my Savior! Blessed you always will be! And:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHY SHOULD WE CONFESS OUR SINS?"

Yes! Why to confess them if God knows them all?
We have to confess them to acknowledge them!
Most people thing they are “good” …
They think they haven’t done anything bad to harm people,
and they are just waiting to die, to go straight to heaven!
Could this be your case?
Do you know that even with our thoughts we offend God?
With our mouth we offend people!
With our hands we hurt them!
With our hate we make them cry!
And we say we have no sins?
If we do not confess our sins, they keep piling up all the way to
the clouds and when we can not hold them, they will fall on us!
Sin is poisonous, and it is destroying our lives!
Sin is like high pressure steam building up inside of us!
And if we don’t get rid of it, sooner or later we are going to explode!
To whom should we confess our sins?
To somebody who wants to listen, and could help us!!
How ever:
If you need somebody that after heard you is willing to forgive you…
Why not confess them to Him?
Especially that He died on a cross to pay for them all!
And resurrected to be in heaven to help you!
And not only that! With His Blood conquered the power
to cut the chains that links you with sin…
AND SET YOU FREE!
Removing from your heart and mind, all hate for people,
and exchange it for Love!
And then what???
And then…
Stop worrying about ourselves and begin thinking about people!
With Love in our heart….
We could get close to people and together…..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE STAR OF DAVID 3"

Did Christ come from heaven just to save the Jewish people?
No! He did not! He came to save the whole world!
That means you, me, and everybody else that want to be saved!
When Jesus was born, a bright star appeared in the sky..
Some wise kings or astrologists, coming from east, told Herod the king:
Where is the king of the Jews? We saw the star and came to worship Him!
“When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which
they saw in the east, went before them till it came and stood over where
the young child was.”
“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy”.
“And where they come into the house they saw the young child with
Mary his mother, and fell down and worship Him; and when they had
open their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frank
incense, and myrrh. Mathew 2 : 9, 10, and 11.
There is no doubt about it!
These wise kings knew what they wanted to do!
Do you?
They represent all people in the world, one was riding on an elephant,
one on a camel, and the other on a horse.
Could it be possible that one of these kings saw the star of Bethlehem
against the dark part of the moon when it was at its crescent phase?
Hmm…Don’t ask me! I don’t know!
Anyway, I was saying that the visit of these kings, confirmed,
the international acceptance of Jesus as king! As The Awaited one!
The Messiah! The Savior of the world!
Some people are not really sure of the date Jesus was born, but..
that doesn’t really matter, what it does matter is:
His virgin born birth! His Life! His Death and His Resurrection!
His virgin born to be born without sin!
His Life to show us the Way to God!
His Death for the forgiveness of sins!
And His Resurrection to give us Life Eternal, when we believe!
Do you believe in Jesus as you Savior? Praise the Lord!
But if you are not quite sure… Read the Bible!
You will know the Good News of Jesus Christ: “Salvation is:
For the ones that repenting of their sins, turn to God for forgiveness”

BELIEVE IT OR NOT: THE STAR OF DAVID IS JESUS CHRIST!
OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND LET HIM IN!

GOD BLESS YOU!

"THE STAR OF DAVID 2"

Now draw a cross and scribe a straight line around each one of its ends
until you go around it completely, now it looks like a diamond shape!
Now it looks like a Rhombus figure!
So what!
Hold it! Now make an horizontal cut at the widest part of the rhombus,
You have two triangles!
One standing on its base, and the other upside down!
Grab the base of the triangle pointing down and carefully drag it against
the other triangle before you reach its tip what do you have?
Oh my God! THE STAR OF DAVID!
Yes! God promised David that his throne will be forever.
“And thy house and thine kingdom shall be stablished forever before tee:
Thy throne shall be stablished for ever. II Samuel 7:16.
This is fulfilled with Jesus Christ!
“ The people that walk in darkness have seen a great light:
They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them
hath the light shined.” Isaiah 9 : 2.
The six pointed star it is formed at the coming of Christ!
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father,The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon
The throne of David….. Isaiah 9 : 6 and 7.
Is he really coming from the roots of David?
Yes! Look:
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Isaí and a Branch
shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
Understanding, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord”
Isaiah 11 : 1 and 2.
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand
Again the second time to recover the remnant of his people…”
“And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the
outcasts of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the
four corners of the earth.” Isaiah 11: 11 and 12.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE STAR OF DAVID"

David,
The younger son of Isaí was chosen for God to be the King of Israel
replacing King Saul because of God displeased by Saul’s disobedience.
All right! I want to know about the star not about David!
Yes! I know! You want to know about his seal, not about him right?
You’ve got that right! How much do you know about it?
Not very much! But, the little I know I am going to say it with respect!
I feel a profound respect for King David! I enjoy reading his psalms full
of advices and love for God and people!
All right! What do you have to say about his seal?
Before I tell you about his seal, I have to tell you about the “Triangle”
In the dollar bill, it shows on top of the triangle an eye that I believe
Represents the “eye” of God that sees everything, it represents the Power
And Might of God and his ability to be everywhere his Omnipresence!
The “Triangle” I believe it represents the mountain in which God gave
Moses the Ten Commandments we do not obey!
What happens then?
I think that is one of the “Triangles” of David’s Star!
What about the other triangle?
The other triangle it looks like it is coming down from above!
Further more: It looks to me, like a picture taken precisely at the time
touching, or just before the cusp of the triangle touches ground.
Let me tell you something:
In the New Testament, from the beginning thru the end, the Bible talks
about Jesus as being the Son of David! Jeshua Ben David!
Also, at the time of His birth, a bright star showed up in Bethlehem
Proclaiming the birth of the Messiah, The Savior of the world!
Couldn’t this “Star of David” be to prophesy the birth of Christ?
And not only that, but also his second coming?
I understand that the Jewish people are still waiting for their Messiah,
For us Christ believers, he already came, so when they receive their
Messiah for us will be his return!
Jesus was a Jewish person so the Star of David was also his symbol!
No! You are wrong!
Isn’t it the cross his symbol?
Yes! The cross is also his symbol!
What likeness could the cross of Jesus have with David’s Star?
Let’s see:
Take the Star of David and push the upside down triangle until both
Bases touch, now it looks like a diamond shape!
It looks as a Rhombus geometrical figure!
So what?
Hold it! I will explain it in a minute!

"METAMORPHOSIS"

Metamorphosis is the result of a transformation or change!
One of the most common is the transformation of a larva of a caterpillar
that wraps up its web around itself forming a cocoon and waits a period
of time until its wings develop and comes out as a butterfly.
C’mon, all these just to tell me something I learned at 5th grade?
Hold it! Hold it right there my friend! Now I am going to tell you about
The most amazing Metamorphosis that man had ever witnessed!
What is that?
It was the transformation, the change, the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ,
From man to God! Listen:
“Jesus took Peter, James and John his brother and brought them up into a
high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them; his face did shine
as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light.” Mathew 17:1
He proved them He was God! How wonderful isn’t it?
Another Metamorphosis or transformation is of the person that begins
reading the Bible, starts wrapping up themselves in its knowledge and
Truths and little by little begins learning about God and understanding
how much God really loves us, learns to love Him and to obey Him,
until one good day, falls before Christ and ask Him for salvation.
Then,we come out from our cocoon ready to love God and to serve people!
Do we need to read the Bible in order to have this transformation?
Very good question my friend! The Bible is a Book of Love, Faith and
Truth, and if you think you master them all, you don't have to read it,
otherwise, I don't know what you are waiting for! The answer is no!
You don't have to read it to be saved! Just to believe! Listen:
“And if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your
Heart that God had raised him from the dead you will be saved, because
with our hearts we believe for justice and with the mouth confession is
made for salvation.” Romans 10:9
How long does it take the process of this transformation?
Depends of us! It could take a split second or it could take forever!
God makes the transformation but we supply the ingredients:
A sincere Love, a Faith without doubts, a Truth without lies!
But, nobody is like that!
Yes I know, that is why we have to be honest with God and confess Him
our sins, He will forgive us! And save us!
Just imaging to see the caterpillars get themselves in their cocoon, without patience un sincere, without faith, without love, just looking for their own convenience, and tired of waiting for their "wings" that never developed, they walk out of it and go back to the world as before, as a mere worm.
Wait a minute! Don’t leave! Turn around and get back in it! I assure you!
If this time you really mean it, it will work! PRAISE THE LORD!

"SOUL AND SPIRIT 6"

“THE TRIANGLE”
What happens when we die?
Many people are afraid to ask this question and avoid it altogether, but..
we are not eternal as God,so sooner or later,like it or not: We have to go!
All right! All right! I want to know about the triangle, not about death!
Yes!I know! But this is related with the “triangle”, listen: When we die,
the triangle in which our ME was dwelling, separates into three “I”.
The “I” of our spirit returns to God who lend it to us!
The “I” of our body, goes back to the ground from which we came! And ..
The “I” of our soul remains alive!
If we accepted Christ and our sins were forgiven, we will still have the
company of the Holy Spirit whom will guide us directly to heaven!
But the ones who refuse to accept Christ as their Savior, will remain in
their sins, and they will wake up in darkness without the light of God!
And they will remain in this place until the return of Jesus Christ! Then. .
All the ones that die with Christ will come back to life first! And then,
The believers still alive will meet Him on the air! Thessalonians 4 :15.
We all are going to have new bodies, bodies that do not decay and die,
The “Triangle” of us, will be put together again! But this time, inside
a body that never dies!
And all the world will be together for the final judgment of God!
Christ will separate the good and the bad and send the bad to eternal
condemnation in the place where the fire never quenches!

Everything sounds good but: I don’t believe in a literal hell! A real one!

Jesus says: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: But rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul
and body in hell! Mathew 10:28.
The good news of Jesus is that there is salvation for everyone that
believes in Him, but if you don’t believe it is obvious that you are not
going to believe in what He says, and for your surprise, when you wake
up in the middle of that horrible place called hell, you will not have
anybody with you to help you! C’mon body: There is still time! Listen:
“And if you confess your sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1: 9.
If you fall on your knees and accept Him as your Lord and Savior,
you will begin a new life loving God and serving people!
We were always choosing wrong! Isn’t it time to begin choosing right?
Now is time to accept Christ!
Our only hope to heaven!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"SOUL AND SPIRIT 5"

“THE ICONS”
What is an Icon?
An Icon is an emblem or symbol on the computer screen to represent a function or program and by clicking or touching it, we open up a program on our computer, telephone or other electronic gadget to retrieve information we like to see, listen, or both.
Only God gives us good programming thru his Holy Spirit thanks to the
work of redemption that Christ did for us!
Oh! Shut up!
I am tired listening to you talking about God!
All right!Then,stop reading, and go back to the dirty programs you prefer!
But if you’re still here, this is for you: Like I said: Only God makes the good programs that will help you to make a radical change in your life!
God is Love! We humans cannot make love! And I am not talking about sex
but about Charity, help and understanding to increase our values and begin
learning to know people and start loving them, as human people as they are!
Only God can install these “Icons” or programs in the computer of our mind!
Only God can change those bad programs we have when we are profoundly
interested in having a real change in our lives and begin experiencing heaven on Earth without the help of liquor,drugs or other artificial means!
EXAMINE YOURSELF BY CHECKING YOUR ICONS!
Specially the hidden ones you don’t want anybody to see!
When we accept Christ, God gives us good programs to replace the bad ones
that keeps us away from His blessings!
The “Gifts” of the Holy Spirit: Love, Peace, Understanding, Hope, Faith,
and so on, will keep us away from sin, and closer to God Thanks to Jesus!
TELL GOD YOU WANT TO CHANGE! Ask Him for help!
He will send his Son to knock on the doors of your heart!
When you hear his knocking, open them up and invite Him to enter!
OBEY GOD!
Jesus said: If you love me keep my commandments!
And I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another Helper,
that he may abide with you forever. John 14 :15 and 16.
THANK GOD FOR YOUR NEW LIFE!
I‘m going to tell you a secret: TRUE HAPPINESS IS NOT IN SIN!
TRUE HAPPINESS IS IN LOVING PEOPLE!
Jesus said:“Love God with all your heart,all your soul and all your mind.
And love people as you love yourself! If you obey these two commandments
you will be obeying them all.” Mathew 22-37.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"SOUL AND SPIRIT 4"

“LOVE TRUTH AND FAITH”
All right! All right! Don’t get upset with me!
It was only a question! Can I ask you another one?
Sure! Go ahead! That’s what we’re here for!
You said that spirit means breath, so the question is:
Is breath all there is in the spirit of life?
No! It is not! They are a lot of things involve in giving life, everything
Has to be prepared to receive it! As you can see for yourself, you don’t
Have to do anything to breath, everything is automatic, so all the nece-
ssary things are included in the spirit of life. God created earth first,
so He made man to fit in the earth’s environment to sustain life.
But they are more! A lot more!
They are animal spirits, human spirits, good spirits, bad spirits etc.
The spirit of a human being is more sophisticated than the spirit of an
animal, animals are guided by their instincts, we are guided by our
thinking abilities, and have choices, than animals do not have.
I am going to tell you in other words so you could understand it better:
Spirits are compared to the “Programs” of a computer, our soul just
choose the programs we like, but most the times we choose wrong!
They are spirit of fear, and spirit of courage, spirit of love, and spirit
of hate! Spirit of joy, and spirit of sadness, and so on!
Oh that’s interesting! How could we obtain them?
Well some of those already come with us, like “Gifts” or inherited
from our parents, but also could be bad things we need to get rid off!
O.K.O. K., I understood that, but, I have another question for you:
Is the spirit of life the same as the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is the life giver!
The Spirit of God is Christ’s Spirit!
Every human being has the spirit of life, but not all have God’s Spirit!
According to the Bible, Christ himself gives his Spirit to every believer
that accept Him as their Lord and Savior! The Bible says:
It is not Christian who does not have Christ’s Spirit Romans 8:9.
The Holy Spirit is the one that gives our spiritual “Gifts” some of the
Best are: LOVE, TRUTH, FAITH, opposite of the ones we originally
came with when we were born: HATE, LIE, DOUBT!
Receiving Christ, is to receive God in us!
With God in us.. .. We will never be alone!
Opening our hearts to God is the beginning of a new life!
A life without an ending! Thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ!

THANK YOU LORD!

"SOUL AND SPIRIT 3"

“THE PUZZLE”
I’m sorry to disappoint you my friend, but I have to tell you something:
What is that?
I think you are contradicting yourself in what you’re saying!
What? I don’t know what you’re talking about! Could you be more specific?
Yes! I will be!
You cited in Genesis 2:7 That God was saying that He blew the spirit of
life into the body of man and man became a living soul.
And I understood that the soul as well as the body were death before the
spirit of life was blew into the nostrils of man.
Don’t you think you could be wrong about what you said?
Yes! I do! I understood that the soul already alive starts breathing
inside the body, and then, man becomes to be a living soul! But:
Let me tell you something: Although I cannot prove that the spirit gets in
the body at the time of conception,there is one thing I am absolutely sure:
That God was busy giving life to the first human being!
He was involved in creation! Not in destruction! And if you are trying
to find an excuse in the Bible to do evil, you are wrong!
When God starts doing something, He finishes it!
He does not begin something and leave it unfinished like we do!
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made” Gen. 2:2.
And when Jesus was dying on the cross, he said: “IT IS FINISHED!”
John 19:30. His work of redemption was completed!
Let me ask you something:
Let’s suppose you bought a puzzle, a big one!
So big that you need a hugh table to begin assemble the parts!
The parts of this puzzle are very delicate and they could break very easy,
but before you complete it, somebody turns your table upside down,
breaking all parts of your puzzle, how would you feel?
Oh bad! Very bad, so bad that I could punch that person on the nose!
But, what does this has to do with what we are talking about?
I’ll tell you!
At the instant of conception, the beginning of the new being starts,
cells begin multiplying themselves to the millions or trillions putting
together all the pieces of the puzzle that is going to be the new Being!
Don’t turn the “Table” upside down!
Let our Creator complete the “Puzzle”!
And receive it with love!
Get closer to God! Read the Bible and.. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"SOUL AND SPIRIT 2"

“THE CELL PHONE”

Did you understand what is the difference between soul and spirit?
Yes! I did! But I still have some doubts!
Do you have an analogy to explain it better?
Yes! As a matter of fact, I do!
We could compare it with a cell phone!
A what???
Yes! A cellular telephone!
What similarities could we have with a cell phone?
How could you compare the greatness of a human being with a cheap phone?
I‘ll tell you in a minute! Look:
When they design a new cell phone,they have to develop first its circuitry!
It’s blue print, a schematic diagram in which all the components are united
to do specific functions. The plastic and its electronic components are the
“body”,when the body is ready,all its components should be in perfect order
to function, but it cannot do anything by itself! It needs an operator,
it needs a “soul” and that is you!
At the time of conception our soul, the “blue print” of our new ME,
becomes alive, and watches the construction of the body of our other ME!
Remember, we are not ONE, but THREE! So far, we have:
Our soul and our body, but we are missing the third part of us!
What’s that?
OUR SPIRIT!
If we come back to the cell phone, we have the body and the operator, US!
We press the ON button, and it responds turning the light on!
But, what happen? It does not work! Why?
Oh!Yes! it doesn’t have a signal! We forgot to call the telephone company
to furnish a signal for our new cell! Our spirit is the invisible “line” from which God sends to us the spirit of life!
“And God blew the spirit of life thru his nostrils and became a living soul” Genesis 2-7.
Our spirit is our body’s life,our respiration is the “signal” we are alive”
After we call the telephone company, and we got a signal from them,
our cell becomes alive! We can push any button pre programmed at will,
we can learn math, history, geography, or pornography, at a difference of
the cell, we are not pre programmed, we can make our own choices!
Our soul is at control and it will pay for it’s wrong choices!
What happen when we do not pay our phone bill?
They disconnect their signal and our cell goes DEATH!
Our life is in the hands of God! He is at control!
The people that do not believe in God’s existence, is like thinking that
their cells phones will work without a signal!
Thanks!
Now I know why we should respect life and love people!
I have to ask you a question:
Go ahead! I am listening!
If somebody gives you a box with a present and tells you it is a cell phone!Top of the line, with the latest innovations and with a signal included! Would you throw it to the trash without even seen it?
Of course not! I will keep it! And thank the person who gave it to me!
I like to hear that! Remember what you said when I was comparing a
human being with a cellular telephone?
Yes! I said that human beings are greater than cellular phones!
That is correct!
They are a direct present from God!
Love them! And .. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"CONTROVERSIES"

Is it alive? Is it dead?
Is it right? Is it wrong? Is it good? Is it bad? I want to know!
What in the world are you talking about?
We are talking about unborn babies! There is a controversy about it!
Because no one knows for sure if a baby before its born is dead, or alive!
What do you think?
I think is a wonderful present from God that should be received with love!

“Lo; Children are a heritage of the Lord:
And the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of the mighty man;
so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them;
they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” Psa1ms 27:3

If you have a vacant room in your house and you decide to rent it or just
give it to somebody to live in it for a period of time, and after the agreement, you change your mind and evict this person from your home,
Is it right?
I think it was better to keep that room empty instead of terminating the
“Contract” even that it is not a written one! Do you understand?
Yes! I do!
But the biggest controversy, the argument about the baby is:
If it is alive or not before starts breathing!
Then why his heart is pounding, his head, hands and feet moving, why do
they respond to sounds? Why do they recognize mom’s voice?
BECAUSE IS ALIVE!
We are not just a body! We are body, soul and spirit!
The Bible says that we receive our spirit of life when we start breathing!
Genesis 2:7
But it doesn’t say when we receive our soul!
I think that our soul is the “Operator” of our body, our ME!
It comes to us at the instant of conception not at birth!
Our soul has to wait nine long months to receive the spirit of life and start breathing inside his brand new vehicle and become a living human!
A breathing soul!
Our soul is our ME, as well as our body and our spirit!
WE ARE NOT JUST ONE! WE ARE THREE!
Before evicting your tenants:
Get closer to God! Ask Him what to do!
You will know for sure!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"SOUL AND SPIRIT"

What is the difference between soul and spirit? Are they not the same?
Where did you “dig” that question from?
Now days, people are not interested in spiritual things, much less in
something related with the soul. Believe it or not people come to this
world and left it without knowing for sure we have a soul and spirit!
It is a question every human being should know the answer.
That is why they are so many crimes because people do not know or
don’t want to know what these are!
All right! All right! Are you going to tell me?
I‘ll be glad to tell you my friend: I am not a scientist to give you fancy
words to explain it, but I think it won’t be necessary, here we go:
Before we were born as you know they are nine months of pregnancy,
time in which a fetus, completes the cycle necessary for the formation
of the new being, after this period of time, the baby is taken out of Its
mother’s womb, starts breathing and we say: A new baby has being born!
What does this has to do with my question?
Wait a minute! Let me explain you something so you could understand it!
In the period of gestation, we say that the baby has no life, however, this is very far from the truth, and I tell you why: SPIRIT MEANS BREATH.
So life begins when the baby starts breathing right?
Let’s see:
Genesis 2-7 says: “And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became
a living soul” God is Spirit, we are matter! We receive the spirit of life
when we start breathing, and when we stop breathing we give it back
to God. But our soul remains conscious of all but without a body!
What is the soul?
The soul is the individuality of a person, there are no two alike!
The soul is our mind, our intelligence, our thinking capabilities, our consciousness, our power of choice, the knowledge of our existence!
Things that our body does not have!
God put in every soul ETERNITY, AND INDESTRUCTIBILITY!

The Bible says: “And I say unto you my friends, be not afraid of them that
Kill the body and after that have no more they can do, but I fore warn you
Whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he had kill hath power to cast
into hell, yea, I say unto you, Fear him.” Luke 12:4.
Our soul is in us at the precise instant of conception! Not at birth!
The spirit of life (Breath) begins at birth but before the newborn starts
breathing his heart is ticking, hid head and his members are moving, his
ears are listening, his senses are awake! HE IS ALIVE!
Then, when the body receives the spirit of life from God, starts breathing!
When man stops breathing : Man dies! But his soul remains alive!

God created the human being to live forever! But because of sin, say the
Bible, death came to the world!
God changed the eternity of man to a few years compared with eternity!
But He did not change his soul! His Soul remained for Judgment!
Our soul is indestructible! Only God can destroy it in hell!
How negative you are! Is that all we can expect after life?
No! It is not! They are also a positive side:
God sent his only Son to give our souls the opportunity of redemption,
and a place to rest forever in God’s dwelling place called: Paradise.
God is our positive side!
Our opportunity to convert all our negative things
into positive ones!
Are you ready?

PRAISE THE LORD!

"IS GOD ONE,OR THREE?"

It is very hard for me to understand it!
Is God one or three?
GOD IS ONE!
Then, how come they say that we have:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost?
Are you telling me that one, plus one, plus one, equals one?
I know it is not easy to understand it but tell me: We have
a body, a soul and a spirit, Which one of the three are you?
Just the body?
No! I am all three!
Correct! One, plus one plus one: Equals You!
God made us at his likeness, triune, but with limitations!
God is Omniscient! And that means He knows it all!
God is Omnipotent! That means, He is all powerful!
God is Omnipresent! He is everywhere!
All three united are ONE! Our Holy Almighty God!
What is His name?
“I AM THAT I AM” Exodus 3 :13. or:
JEHOVAH (Self existing one) Genesis 28:13.
Translated as: LORD, or GOD. (Names most use in the Bible)
Is Christ “I am that I am” or Jehovah, or Lord also?
Good question! Christ and the Holy Ghost share those names too!
God the Father, Christ and the Holy Ghost are the Triune God,
because: All three are ONE!
It is sad to see that in many religions they worship only:
One person of the Triune God!
Some worship the Father only as Jehovah!
Some worship the Son only as Lord!
And they neglect the Holy Spirit thinking that He is just a force
and not God Himself! All three are Jehovah, all three are Lord
ALL THREE ARE GOD!
Which of the three should I send my prayers to?
You could pray to either one, but I think the correct way to do it is:
To pray to the Father, in the name of Christ in the indwelling power
of the Holy Spirit, with Love, Truth, Faith and Humbleness.

GLORY TO THE FATHER!
GLORY TO THE SON!
GLORY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT!

OUR GOD FOREVER! GOD BLESS YOU! And.. ..
PRAISE THE LORD!

"JUST ONE DOOR TO HEAVEN"

“I am the Door said Christ! By me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out and find pasture.” John 10:9.
Christ is the Door to heaven!
How ever, a lot a people think they are many “doors” we could enter heaven!
They are two doors, correct! But the other one leads you to hell!
The world has two poles called: Magnetic poles!
One is called North, the other one South, if we are walking toward north and we want to go south, we have to turn around, face south and our backs to north! Very simple isn’t it?
Yes! But what good does that do to us?
Hold your horses! I will tell you in a minute!
The needle in a magnetic compass, it’s always pointing to North it does not matter which side you turn the compass, always will be pointing North!
We say that the needle is “polarized” or “magnetized”.
So what? Is that going to hurt us?
Maybe, and I will tell you why: We! The people of the world are “magnetized”or “polarized” by the world following SIN, and we can’t do anything to turn it to the other way because we don’t know how!
We are praying and cursing at the same time! Why?
Because we conceive those doors one next to the other, side by side, so close,that we try to enter both at the same time! We have to separate those doors!One at front, one at the back! Not close together!
Everyone who wants to get closer to God, should be attracted by one Door only, not both!
God the Creator is a God of order and discipline!
We are a complete disorder! Just look around you!
God has to keep an “Eye” on trillions of stars,constellations, planets etc.
and maintain them going in perfect order! Considering all the problems
God could encounter, we have practically none!
We have on the “Desk” of our minds mountains of papers with problems
we don’t know how to solve ! Why? Because we cannot identify them as
good or bad, and just by looking at them it give us a head ache!
Let’s begin to “polarize” them! Good is positive, bad, negative!
Until we clear our whole “desk”.
Love, positive! Goes in front of us, pointing to heaven!
Hate! Negative! Goes to the back!
Next one is Resentment I will let you classify it!Is it positive, or negative?
Negative!
Right! Throw it through the door behind you! And what is its opposite?
I don’t know!
Don’t feel bad, there are millions of people that don’t know it, much less
to know that is the main cure of many diseases!
It is FORGIVENESS! When you truthfully forgive, resentment goes away!
Truth is Positive! Goes right in front of us! Let’s follow it!
Lie! Negative! Goes to the back! The next time we lie we will feel that we
turned around from God to the negative! To the wrong door!
Is Pride positive? Or negative? Remember: After Pride comes fall!
Humbleness! Is the opposite! God elevates the humble and brings down pride!
So pride goes to the back and humbleness right in front!
Faith! Positive! Keep close to it! Don’t let it walk away from you!
Doubt! Negative! Goes to the back! And stays there!
Courage to the front, fear to the back! And so on!

If we praise and curse, curse and pray, while we are walking, we will be
going in circles! From north to south, to north getting nowhere!
Now we have to start walking toward God with love, faith, courage, in truth
and humbleness, and if we suddenly start feeling fear, that means we turned around and now we are walking away from God! Anxiety, fear, and all that bad stuff, are caused by doubt and doubt is lack of faith!
We need God!
Face God again and throw away to your back all fear, doubt and hate!
Isaiah 7:14 and 15 says:
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold a virgin shall
conceive and bear a son, and shall call him Immanuel. Butter and honey
shall he eat that he may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.”

The bitterness of the world has spoil so much our palate that it does not
matter how much honey we eat, our taste is still bitter, without ever
learning to choose good and refuse evil.
There is just one Door to heaven! Not two!
And this Door is open for you when you believe in Christ!

If you are reading this message and you think you are a person with hate,
resentment, fear, anxiety, impatient, I guess it is time to get on your knees,clear the desk of your mind and put a Bible on top not to adorn it but to read it! To know your Creator and get closer to Him!
When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior! You will receive his
Holy Spirit who is always pointing us to his Son our Savior!
The only Door we need to get to heaven.

Clear your mind! Clear your heart! And
Invite Jesus to live inside of you!
True happiness is in God!
Get close to Him! And.. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"DOOR TO HEAVEN"

“We should not called “god” to an idol that men had fabricated out of gold,
silver, stone or other materials, God tolerated this in the past but now,
He commands everyone to put away the idols and worship only Him.”
Acts 17-29.

The echo is a sound that bounces on a surface and returns to what produce it!
If we get close to a wall and scream, our voice will not go far from us, but if
we move away this obstruction, our voice will travel a lot further away.

Those are the idols! An obstruction for our communication with God!

Since longer that we can remember men had abandoned God to follow Idols,
Material figures that do not say anything!
Why that being created by God, likes to follow vane illusions having Him?
GOD CAN GIVE US EVERYTHING WE WANT, IF WE TRUST HIM!
AND WE WORSHIP ONLY HIM!

In the idol worship churches, which they are many, people direct their
Prayers to a statue or image made by men!
These prayers, they do not go farther away than the idol in front of them!
WHAT IS AN IDOL?
An idol it is an image or object thru which people worships as a “god”.
IT IS SOMETHING WE PUT BEFORE GOD!

In all the Universe, there are only CREATOR AND CREATION!
THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE IS THE ONLY ONE
WORTHY OF WORSHIPING!
Revelation 22-9 says: WORSHIP GOD ONLY!

An idol is like a closed door in which our voice cannot go thru!
Same as with the echo, everything we said, comeback to us!
EMPTY WORDS WITHOUT AN ANSWER!

LET’S MOVE ALL THE IDOLS IN FRONT OF US!
LET’S OPEN THE DOOR TO HEAVEN!
JESUS CHRIST THE DOOR TO GOD!

BLESSED BE FOREVER!

THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR MERCY!
THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR LOVE!

"I AM THE DOOR"

Our sacrifices do not save us, neither our charities, nor our fasting,
Or religions,or The Commandments, or prayers, religion’s songs,
good deeds, going to church, confessing our sins… will save us!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
I think you are crazy!
Why are you saying that nothing of these is good?
Wait a minute!
I didn’t say it’s bad! What I am saying is that some of these
things are to try to please God, and to comfort our spirits, but,
The truth is that:
NOTHING OF THESE SAVE US! If some of these could save us,
IT WOULDN’T BE NECESSARY CHRIST to DIE FOR US!
Then: Could you tell me, what can I do to be saved?
Do? Nothing!
Just to give God an opportunity to help you!
Oh no my friend! Definitely: You got some loose screws!
How am I going to give God an opportunity if He has them all?
If He really wanted to help me, He would have done it!
I go to church every Sunday, and I try to obey his Commandments!
And, do you succeed obeying them?
No! To tell you the truth, I don’t! It is very hard!
And do you want to know why? Because we are weak!
Look: when we try to fast or to go on a diet, we want to eat all the
forbidden things, the bigger our intention is, the bigger the temptation,
and we loose! The Commandments are God’s Laws that we do not
obey, our flesh is weak and it is attracted by sin, with greater strength
than ours, and at the end, we become violators of God’s Laws!(Sinners)
besides, the Commandments are to measure the degree of sinners we are!
When Jesus came to this world, divided all the Commandments in only
Two: Love God with all your mind, all your strength, and all your heart,
and the second one: Love people as you love yourself! Romans 13:9.
If we obey these two Commandments, we will be obeying all of them,
Because if we love people we are not going to steal from them or kill
them, or insult them, or hurting them in any way, but to love them!
And help them to get closer to God!
Oh come on! We came back to the same thing!
If we do all these, could we be saved?
No! We could not!
Why?
Because due to the sin nature we have, it is for us extremely difficult
to do it! And if we cannot do it, we cannot be saved by our own!
However: When God closes the exits, always leave a “Escaping way!”
I AM THE DOOR! Says Jesus! John 10:9.
Oh God! Now I don’t know what to think!
Is Christ or not in the religion of mine? That is the reason I go to church every Sunday, to get close to Him!
My friend, let me tell you:
Christ is everywhere as you may know, but the purpose is not just
to find Him, but to invite Him to enter into your heart!
LET HIM IN! And keep Him with you forever!
Who obeys me, says Christ is because he loves me!
To obey Christ is to love God
To love God is to love people!
When we accept Christ God puts inside us his Holy Spirit!
Christ Spirit! To help us and guide us thru our lives.
IT IS NOT A CHRISTIAN WHO DOES NOT HAVE CHRIST’S SPIRIT!
Romans 8:9.
Then… Do you accept Christ as your Savior?
Yes I do! I accept Him!
Then… TELL HIM! IT HAS TO BE PERSONAL!
BETWEEN YOU AND HIM!
And.. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and you believe
in your heart that God rise Him from the dead, you will be saved!
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confess his faith unto salvation! Romans 10:9 and 10.
Christ is knocking at our doors, but we are so busy trying to find
God in heaven that we do not hear Him!
Go ahead! Run! Open up the door of your heart!
YOU WILL BE SAVED!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE BOOK OF LIFE"

“And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast
into the lake of fire” Revelation 20:15
After reading this I‘ve got worried and I was thinking:
Is it a way I could find out if I am in that Book?
That is an interesting question, my friend!
Look: a lot of people get frustrated when they read that just chosen people
are going to be in the Book of Life, but let me tell you that not only the
names of “good” people are going to be in the Book of Life!
Jesus said: I did not come to save good people but to give the bad ones
the opportunity to repent and turn to God for forgiveness” Mathew 9-13.
Yes, but God said: “I will have mercy on the ones I want to have mercy
so Grace is not for the ones that will it but for the ones that I want to
have mercy” Exodus 33-19 Romans 9-15. I know what happened!
You thought that only chosen people could be saved, but what you don’t
know is that God was talking to the Jews trough Moses but later much
later, He extended his Grace to the whole world! Remember John 3:16?
“For so God love the world that He gave his only begotten Son for
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”
Jesus Christ said: I am the Way, The Truth, and The Life.. ..
So if Christ is The Life, the Book of Life is his Book!
And it is to record the names of his believers!
I thought The Book of Life was God’s Book!
It is!Just read I John Chapter 1:2 It says: “For the Life was manifested, and we have seen it and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us”.
CHRIST IS ETERNAL LIFE! HE IS GOD!
HAVE YOU ACCEPTED HIM AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR?
Do you believe He died and resurrected to give you Life?
If your answer is positive and true and comes deeply from your heart,
YOU WILL BE SAVED!
That means that everybody who want to have God’s Grace, could have it
by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives!
Jesus said: I did not come to condemn the world but to save it!
He is not looking for you for punishment but for salvation!
There is only one way you will be found in The Book of Life:
Stop walking on the evil ways! Turn to God for mercy!
Confess Christ as your Lord and Savior!
If you haven’t done it, your name may not be there yet!
But only you could make it happen! And if you need help,
God is ready to give you a hand! God answer prayers!
Go ahead! What are you waiting for? Close your eyes and.. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"CONFESSION"

Do you know what is the foundation, the base of a friendship?
IS IT HONESTY?
Yes! That is one! The second is TRUST.
And the third one: TRUTH.
Without these three, no friendship can withstand!
And because I am honest with you, I’m going to confess you something:
Oh yeah?
Yes! I do!
Very well, go ahead! I am all ears!
When I was young, I met a man at my understanding unique!
Tall, and wearing a beard! When I met him, I have to confess:
I FELL IN LOVED WITH HIM!
Oh my God! José, don’t tell me that!
Yes, I did! He was very kind and ready to do anything to help me!
Believe me! I was in love!
What a shame! How could you do that?
He loved me so much, that he sacrificed for me so I do not suffer!
Hold down a minute! I have to ask you something:
Are you Gay?
Who, me? No! Of course not!
I have always being a man, and I’m always will be!
Then he was! Wasn’t he?
No, my friend! He is truly a man! And you know what?
YOU SHOULD BE IN LOVED WITH HIM ALSO!
Me? No way José, get out of here! I am not a .. ..
You should! Not just you, but everybody! In fact: The whole world!
Think about it! He is very rich! And he wants to live with all of us!
Are you a homosexual?
I already told you that I am not! Where is your trust in me?
You need to be a real man to love Him! Aren’t you?
There is nothing homosexual about loving this man!
When your interest is not sexual, you could love every man, woman,
and children in the world because love is not sex, it is the desire to help!
Don’t you love your father, your brothers, and your sons?
Don’t you love your friends?
And I am very proud to say that: I LOVE HIM!

I LOVE JESUS, THE CHRIST!
MY GOD! MY BROTHER, MY BELOVED FRIEND!
IF YOU LOVE HIM, TELL HIM! YOU WILL BE BLESSED!
LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART! And.. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"MANY CALLED,FEW CHOSEN,FEWER SAVED"

Once we’re chosen we will be saved! Correct?
I am sorry to disappoint you my friend but it is not correct!
Why not? The Bible say: Many called, few chosen Mathew 22:14.
Doesn’t that mean that the chosen ones are automatically saved,
because God chose them? Could a chosen person be lost?
Yes!
Why?
Because a chosen person is not yet a saved person, and according to
the Bible, people are saved when they confess with their own lips
that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior! Romans 10:9.
Listen to this: Jesus said to his Apostles:
“Have not I chosen you all 12, and one of you is a devil?” John 6:70.
Was Jesus wrong when He chose him?
Of course not! He chose him purposely to fulfill the prophesies!
If Judas had repented, would he been saved?
He did repent! He returned the 30 coins of silver he received to betray
Jesus, and then he hung himself!
He was not saved not because he betrayed Christ, but for not confessing
Christ as his Lord and Savior! He was not saved because he did not
believe in Him! He was not saved because he did not love Him!
We have repented many times after we done something wrong and:
Were we saved just by repenting? No! We were not!
True repentance is to stop our evil ways, turn to God, and remain with
Him! Not returning to sin after we were forgiven! That is convenience!
Not true love for God!
God sent His Son to save the Jews not the Gentiles (Non Jewish)
And, you know what happened!
Did God close his book with them as His chosen people?
No! He did not!
God is only giving us the non Jews the opportunity to obtain God’s
Grace thru His Son Jesus!
And when the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled, the Jews are going to
recognize as their Messiah, the one they crucified!
Thanks God not all the Jews don’t believe in Christ, they are many
that recognize Him as their Savior! Praise the Lord!
But what about us, the non Jews, are we still going to reject Jesus?
Are we still going to reject our only Hope to Glory?
Come on! Wake up! Get closer to Him!
Ask Him to save you! And..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"LIFE SAVER"

Life saver?
What is a life saver?
It's a pneumatic filled with air,donut shaped and it is used to throw it to
a person when in the water it’s drowning, the person holds tight to it and
it is pulled to safe grounds saving them from dying.
When somebody wants to learn how to swim, the person gets inside the
donut hole to help them to keep afloat and showing them the basic move-
ments for swimming, they start gaining confidence and begin to swim
without it, and after they learn, they seat on top of the “Donut” and they
rest floating on the water and enjoying the sun.
And then?.. .. What???
Oh yes! There is an analogy about this:
The people feel so comfortable seating on this pneumatic, that forgets how
to swim, or never learned how!
Many, many people hate exercising! Our body needs it in all three parts
of us: Our body, our soul, and our spirit.
There is an old Latin saying that goes like this:
“MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO” “Healthy mind in healthy body”
So if we want to have a healthy mind, we have to have a healthy body,
And there is just one way to get it: With our own efforts!
Eating well, sleeping well, exercising our body, and our mind,
we will have a healthy body, a sharp mind, and a happy soul!
Many of us are like this:
I am gaining weight! We take a pill!
I have a head ache! We take a pill!
My stomach hearts! We take a pill!
I cannot sleep! We take a pill!
I cannot wake up! We take coffee after coffee until we do!
I am tired! We take a soda pop or a beer and cigarettes!
I feel stressed! Give me a pill!
I feel depressed! .. .. .. Pills become our “Life saver”
Our arms get weak without exercise and we cannot swim on our own!
But if we take off our “Life saver” Before being prepared.. ..
We may drown!
But, what else can we do?
Open your eyes and see:
We are becoming drug addicts with so much dependency on drugs!
But we cannot get off the “Life saver” without first being conscious
of what we’re doing!
We have to begin exercising while we are still seating on our “donut”
until we feel absolutely sure we are strong enough: To step down!
We also have to start exercising our minds with the Word of God
to begin receiving the Peace of God instead of the peace of drugs
that nothing good will bring to our lives.
Our body has an invisible “spring” that keeps pulling us back to
our original position when we are trying to exercise for health!
We have to fight very hard against this “spring” with courage
telling to ourselves the truth: We are weak and we cannot do it alone!
But God is stronger than all our bad habits together!
He wants to help you if you ask Him for help!
The decision is only yours!
You may fall over and over, but believe me: You fell many times
before you learn how to walk! And you did it!
Now you are going to start learning again how to walk,
but this time with God! Drugs free!
Are you ready?
Get strength, courage, love, and wisdom with God’s Word!
READ THE BIBLE! And.. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"BORN AGAIN"

Life span it’s a space of time between the instant we are born,
until the moment we stop breathing.
Life is a gift from God that we receive thru our mothers, to enjoy it
in this amazing blue planet called Earth.
We could use our life to help, or we could use it to hurt!
It is entirely up to us!
When our time span reaches its end, our body goes to the ground,
“our” spirit goes back to God who lend it, and our soul, free from
it’s body, face judgment with God for all the wrong things we did,
when we were inside that body we use to call : ME
It’s that it?
No! Not yet!
Later in life we find out that we were not making the right choices,
and now we don’t know what to do!
God: Could you help me?
Christ came to this world to give us the opportunity to change our
choosing ways! Without Him, there is nothing good we can choose!
Facing God without Jesus, will be our eternal doom!
Condemnation for our sins, but, Christ by means of his sacrifice on
the cross, He is able to pay for our sins, and even before we die,
He will make us to be born again!
That means that instead of God punishing us for our sins committed
in our flesh, we will be forgiven and pass directly to life, instead of
passing from life to eternal dead, we will pass from life to eternal life!
Without Christ our souls will have a hard time to find a place to rest.
But thanks to his sacrifice and resurrection, we will have life forever!
Eternal life with Him!
Life in the world, it’s only a test!
A test we all fail!
Thanks to the Almighty God that sent us his beloved Son to help us:
We will emerge Victorious!
The life we receive from our mothers it’s rather short! Very short!
But the life we receive from the Holy Spirit when we accept Christ
It is forever!
If you think that life does not have anything good for you.. ..
You don’t need to get rid of it, what you need is:
TO BE BORN AGAIN!
Death is for nonbelievers! Wake up to a new life!
Accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior is to be born again!
Do it! And tell everybody : CHRIST LOVES YOU!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE UMBRELLA OF SIN"

What benefits will I receive if I accept Christ in my life?
Is it going to be different? Or everything will be the same?
Wow! That is a million dollars question!
Of course it’s going to be different!
We were living in sin since we were born, and sin bring us all kinds
of problems into our lives. Although, not everything it’s going to be
wine and roses, we will have a lot of thorns too!
Look: We were born in the world, live in the world, learn in the world
and do what the world does, when we decide ourselves to follow Christ,
we “separate” from the world, and then, the world, stop loving us,
and start hating us because we are not like “Them” anymore!
But don’t worry! Now we have God on our side!
Sin, is like an umbrella that do not allow the Light of God to shine on us!
The heavier our sins are, the thicker the umbrella we carry above us!
When we repent from our sins, and get close to Christ for forgiveness,
If our repentance is genuine, He removes from our heads, the “umbrella”
And we begin to receive from God His blessings!
The desires of worldly people are money, goods, pleasure, vanity, pride,
luxury, and so on.
The desires of God’s people are: The well being of everybody!
So the decisions we are making by following Christ it is practically
not to benefit us, but people!
Are you finished?
No! Not yet!
Since the instant we accept Christ and deposit our faith in Him,
Our names are written in the book of life!
The people that are going to be saved and will have life eternal!
That means, living with God forever! Aren’t you excited?
Don’t take me wrong! I am not saying that Salvation is not free!
You don’t have to do anything to earn it, just your decision to accept Christ,and when we do, He puts His Holy Spirit in us to make the change!
We obtain freedom, from the slavery of sin and become FREE!
Not free to continue living in sin, but to love people as ourselves, working hard for them so they could get what we already have thanks to Jesus.. .. OUR SALVATION!
When we accept Christ we born again into a new person!
A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER!
How thick is your umbrella of sin? Get close to Jesus and..
PRAISE THE LORD!

"PROVE IT! "

In a church, a praying person said:
Father:
On my knees before You, here I am!
To tell You that I Love You!
To say that I believe in You and,
That I am convinced, You are the only One Creator!
The only One God!
That anything that exists above and below, before and after,
beyond the outer reach of the Universes, before the beginning
and after the end, without any comparison with nothing in the material
or in the invisible realm, the Infinite, all Powerful, all knowing, all Present,Self existing,Eternal,Loving and Merciful,Almighty God,are YOU!
Now I know that only You are worthy of worshiping! Only You! My God!
I know You sent your Son to rescue us from the terrible jaws of sin that
wants to devour us like candy in its powerful and unsatisfying snout.
Now I know that by receiving Jesus Christ in our hearts we will be saved!
We will be saved from your terrible anger toward unbelievers that refuse
to accept Him after all his sufferings for paying with his own life,
the penalty for our sins.
And with pain in your soul, You did not hesitate to send Him to die for us.
I will never get tired to tell You that I love You!
I will never get tired to tell You that with all my heart I believe in You!
I will never get tired to tell You that :
I LOVE PEOPLE AS I LOVE MYSELF!....Pause…
For an instant, tired, he closed his eyes.. .and heard a voice saying:
Son: I am listening! Just by opening your mouth the words start flowing out
like water in a cascade!
It does not cost you a cent to say you love people!
But if you consider that Charity is Love, and my Son is your Savior…
I think it is time to PUT ACTION TO YOUR WORDS!
There is just one thing to say:
PROVE IT!
PROVE IT TO YOURSELF!
AND YOU WILL BE, BLESSED!

His dormant eyes awaken! And shaking, with his heart pounding, he said:
Forgive me Father! I accept Jesus Christ your Son as my Lord and Savior!
With his help, I will learn how to truly love people! Thank You Lord!
It was silence! But in heaven, all the angels rejoiced and said at one voice:
Hallelujah, Thanks to God a new Christian has just been born!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"BIG CROWDS"

PRAY FOR THE WORLD!
We were born long after big crowds of people came to this world.
Everything we do or say, it has to be done around great crowds of people.
But, even that we are in the midst of billions of people.. ..
Sometimes we feel alone!
We feel lonesome, depressed, sad, and sometimes: sick!
Magically, we feel in us the urge for praying! We go to church and then,
we realize that we also are surrounded with people.
And all our prayers have to pass thru those people before they get to God.
Why?
How come they don’t pray for their own problems?
My prayers are going to be mixed with theirs, and God is going to receive them at the same time, that is probably why it takes so long for God to answer them!
Besides, I barely have time to pray for me!
Look: why don’t you turn your head up to heaven?
You will bypass all people but your prayers have to cross the air, the planets,constellations, and more before they get to heaven, and when they get there,they have to pass also thru all people that surround God!
A big crowd!
Oh yeah? Why they do not pray for themselves?
I barely have time to pray for me!
ENOUGH! Stop being so selfish!
Christ says that we should pray for others!
Oh yeah? Where?
Right here! Look:
“Love your enemies!
Pray for those who persecute you!
If you do, you will be acting as the sons of your Father in heaven!
For He gives sun light to good and bad, and sends rain to all!
If you love only those who love you, what good do you have?
Everybody does that! Even bad people!
Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect!” Mathew 5-44.
PRAYING FOR OTHERS IS THE END OF SELFISHNESS!
And opening the doors of our heart to Jesus Christ, and invite Him
to come inside of us, we could pray directly to God!
WE WILL HAVE NO CROWDS!
But: WE DON’T HAVE TO PRAY FOR OURSELVES ANYMORE!
WHEN WE PRAY FOR OTHERS,WE RECEIVE BLESSINGS
FOR BLESSING PEOPLE!

OPEN YOUR HEART TO JESUS! PRAY FOR THE WORLD! And...
PRAISE THE LORD!

"REPENTANCE"

What is repentance?
Repentance is the intense desire to quit sinning!
It is not just receiving forgiveness and getting back to sin!
Repentance is the “Excuse” God is waiting from us to present us to his Son
And when we receive him we obtain from him: Forgiveness of our sins!
However, we think that as sons of God we think we are, we have the right
to obtain forgiveness, without having to repent!
After all we say, it is not our fault!
He made us as we are!
So what am I going to be repenting of?
Let me tell you: Son of God it’s not the one that says he is, but the one that:
LOVES HIM AND OBEYS HIM!
In order to be considered son of the Almighty God, first, we have to:
TURN OUR BACKS TO SIN!
We have to make a one hundred and eighty degree turn! Half a circle!
And show our faces to God for forgiveness.
True repentance is: To begin to walk toward God!
But there is a slight problem: True repentance comes from above!
We have to ask God for it!
True repentance is ours when we ask Him with all our heart!
We cannot just say I repent, but, to show it with deeds of repentance!
Repent?
Repent from what? I don’t hurt anybody!
Does it sound familiar?
And in the meantime, we will continue sinning, and rejecting God,
increasing all the heavy weight of sin on our backs pushing us down!
God is waiting for you to forgive you!
He wants repented people!
Christ is our forgiveness!
Doom is ours without Him!
Get close to Christ!
You will never be lost again!
With Christ you will live forever!

GLORY TO GOD!

"DELTA SANDWICH ATTACK"

Imagine you are being attacked with a squadron of Delta Force Sandwiches!
What would you do?
Ha, Ha, Don’t make me laugh! Where did you get that crazy idea?
It is not crazy, it is to illustrate with weakness, some powerful facts!
I was thinking about temptation! How impacting it is in our lives!
Temptation looks like something nice, but it is not!
Temptation is: Sweet candy in our sour mouths!
It is like water when we are thirsty, food when we are hungry!
Money when we are in need!
Temptation gives us wings to fly, but when we are enjoying the high,
It cuts our wings off and delights itself watching us falling! When I
asked you how would you feel by being attacked by “sandwiches”,
you felt immensely powerful compared with the sandwiches, but if
you open your eyes just a little, you could be able to see that you are
being attacked by innocent looking things that not only defeat you,
but they want to destroy you!
We are being attacked by cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, things that being
smaller that one half of a sandwich, (Delta) are more powerful that us!
YOU COULD LAUGH NOW!
We all have an Achilles heel we should worry about!
You don’t know how powerful a sandwich becomes when we are hungry!
Temptations are devil’s attacks, and if we do not have the power to resist,
we fall and after every fall, we become weaker! And SIN more powerful!
When Jesus, after forty days and nights of fasting became very hungry,
and tempted by Satan, he told Jesus: If you are the Son of God, you could
tell this stones to convert into bread, that will prove that you are the Son of God! But Jesus told him: No! The scripture tells us that men do not
live by bread alone, but by the obedience to every Word of God!
Then the devil took Jesus to the highest mountain and showed Him all the
Kingdoms of the world ant told Him: I will give you all these if on your
knees you worship me! And Jesus answered to him:
Get out of here Satan!
The scriptures say that we should worship and obey only the Lord God!
And the devil went away! Mathew 3-3 and 8.
Jesus had the proper weapons to fight against the devil: God’s Word!
Sharpen yourself everyday with the Word of God!
Stop being submerged in sin!
Emerge victorious with the Sword of Truth!
Without the Word of God, we are like “sandwiches” fighting against
a hungry mouth that wants to devour us!
Fight against temptation! Read the Bible!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"FRUITS OR THORNS"

What kind of tree are you?
Who? Me?
Yes! You! What kind of tree do you think you are?
A tree of good fruits, or bad ones!
Do you think you are a tree that gives fruits to satisfy hungry people,
or a tree that besides that gives inedible fruits, has thorns that hurt them?
Wouldn’t you like to be a tree which its fruits are sweet, pleases and
rejoices the heart and the spirit of whom eats them for its flavor and taste?
Wait a minute! I am not a tree, but ..
Suppose that I may be the thorn tree that bears inedible fruits, how in the
world am I going to change and produce the good fruits?
Good question my friend!
The bad tree needs to be grafted!
In order to graft a tree, a branch needs to be cut from it and a healthy one from a good tree has to be firmly secured until it becomes part of it!
And little by little all the branches are replaced and becomes a luxurious
fruit tree.
But.. Are they going to cut me an arm?
Of course not!
That is just an illustration!
The Good “ Tree” is Jesus!
The Bible is his Word!
A “Tree” whose strong branches are full of good fruits to help people!
The Bible is the “Branch” that grafted in us, begins to do the radical
changes we need to begin a new life and produce good fruits for people’s
enjoyment.

Aren’t you tired yet producing bitter fruits that make people cry?
Begin to bring forth good fruits that make our souls rejoice and give people the opportunity to get close to God and thank Him!

Christ is the Word of God!
And the Bible is his Word!
Read it and learn how to.. .. ..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE CIRCLE"

Inside a vicious circle I found myself!
Lonesome! Tired, and sad!
Lifting on my back, the grieves of my soul!

It is a circle in which when I think it is about to end,
Starts again!
Of course! It is a circle!

I run and run but I feel that I don’t move!
The faster I run the more exhausted I get!
I look behind my path and I see the same picture again!
Like in a circle!

Oh God! What happened?

It is like going on a merry go round, following my face,
I am riding fast, but after miles and miles of traveling.. .
I am in the same place!

Every time the earth travels around the sun we get a year older!
I run and run in my circle and I want to get out!
Where is my Beholder?

Where is the exit way?
I cannot find it!
There is no way out!
It is a circle!

God created everything to go in circles!
However, created men to walk straight toward Him!
But if we keep walking in circles we will never reach Him!

Sometimes I feel strong!
To God I think I am riding!
But with my steps I realize that..
Another circle I am scribing!

Lord Almighty, have pity on me!
Get me out of this vicious circle!

I want to walk toward You!
Straighten out my path,
Help me to fix my behavior!
You are my beloved Savior!

Between God and us, there is only one Mediator: Jesus Christ!
Timothy. 2-5.
He is from heaven the Door and..
If we want to go in..
We have to go thru Him!

Do not deviate your path!
Not to the left! Nor to the right a bit!
Straight forward!
With Him you’ll surely meet!

God’s Paradise now we can see!
Thanks to Jesus!

Jesus Christ is between God and us!
To help us! To forgive us! To cleans us!
And after we are all clean.. To heaven. ..
He will let us in!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE DRUNKCARD"

A sinner is like a drunkard that gets drunk with the wine of sin!
Sin is a strong venom that slowly by surely it is killing us all!
The drunkard like a sinner, drinks and drinks but never satisfies their thirst!
The sinner that repents and does the same sin again,is like the drunkard that takes aspirins for the headaches of the next day after drinking, but when the night comes, continue drinking the poison that destroys the body and soul:SIN.
Jesus did not sacrifice himself to cure our drunkenness of sin, but to cure us and help us to stop drinking that poison that besiege us, conquer us and then destroy us!
CHRIST CAME TO HELP US, TO SAVE US, TO CURE US FROM SIN!
Many people are sinning in the highway I tried to talk to somebody, but
they had covered their ears with earphones listening to their music.
I shout and shout without any success, however a drunkard moving side by side came to me and asked me what did I want, and I told him: I just wanted to talk to you, talk about what he replied about a better way of living!
Did you say that there is a better place to live than here? He said!
Yes! that is exactly what I said!
Well, where is it? I cannot see it he said! Can I have some aspirins?
I have to be ready for tomorrows drinking!
Would you like to stop drinking?
No! I don’t have a better thing to do!
But, nobody asked me that question before! But,
How am I going to quench my thirst?
In the fountain of water that satisfies so much that you will never going to be thirsty again!
Oh I love that he said! Where is it?
You have to believe!
Look: Somebody gave his life so you could live! His name is Jesus.
He paid the penalty for your sins,and if you believe in him,He can cure you! And you will begin a new life serving people!
I like that , but how am I going to believe in somebody I do not know?
Please seat down! I have with me a Bible, in it you could get the answer
of all the questions you have in mind!
No! I think I better come back tomorrow!
Forget about tomorrow, tomorrow it may not come
Start reading now! I will be right back.
So I went back to the highway of sin, to see if I could get more people but
Nobody were interested and I came back to my new friend.
What a surprise I had when I saw him on his knees praising the Lord!
And with tears on his eyes he asked me: what do I have to do to follow Jesus?
Look over there I said, they are two crosses on the floor next to the narrow road we have to take our crosses and start walking on it.
In this road there is the bread of life and the fountain of living waters
If you drink from this water and eat from that bread, you will never be
hungry and thirsty again!
It is the fountain of eternal life!
Say no more!
I believe you!
And I believe that Jesus died on the cross to save me!
You don’t know how happy makes me to listen to your words!
The words that come from a regenerated heart!
Yes, he said! Thanks to Jesus!
Common let’s go! Jesus is ahead of us!
Yes but tell me: What are those crosses for?
To reaffirm your faith!
You have to decide to obey Him, or to throw it away and return to
The road of sin!
Don’t say anything more brother! I’ve got it!
Let’s hurry up!
We have to reach Christ!
Don’t worry brother!
HE IS WITH US!

there I am in the midst of them” Mathew 18-20.

"IN THE PAWS OF SIN"

In the paws of sin I was
Living in sin was my mode,
I turned my face to sin,
And I turned my back to God!

Nothing in the world I cared!
I was just thinking in me!
Enjoying all the pleasures of life
That was my everyday rife.

Wine, drugs, sin, perdition!
All those were welcome!
Doors were open
for everyone to come!

Have you ever thought that sin,
very eagerly is looking for you?
To ruin your life and destroy your soul!

God wrote a book, a precious book
In which you and me can get advice!
To behave as we should!
To get rid of every vice!

As a miracle one day,
One Bible got into my hands,
Since then I am telling to others:
We should be like brothers!

People get upset for little things!
I hope they get close to God,
And they could receive: His blessings.

Inside the paws of sin I was,
This monster was ready to engulf me,
I thank God with all my soul
He sent his Son to save me!

With God we have his help and his Love,
With Him we can have a good behavior,
Thank you God for Jesus your Son
Our Lord and, Precious Savior!

"SIN SEA"

Standing on the sand close to the water,I was looking inside the “sin sea”.
A lot of very happy people were swimming and playing in the water,
Then, some of them bathing in the deepest part, were sinking and
screaming for help, but nobody care!
Then a big ship name “Salvation” got close to them and picked them up!
They say that the name of the Capitan of that ship was Jesus and He loves
to save people that tired of sinning repent from their sins, because they want to begin a new life! Lucky people I said, but how come He only save sinners?
Could somebody explain it to me? Do we have to be bad people to be saved?
Excuse me Sir: I think I can explain it to you!
Who are you?I asked him and he said: Just a friend that wants to help you!
Listen: Although the ship “Salvation” is very big, the people that wants
to be saved are very few, as you can see, everybody is having a good time
in that stinky sea! They don’t want to know anything about salvation!
Look at you for example, you don’t want to get close to the sea and wet
your feet, because you think you are not a sinner, but, let me tell you that the first sin in the world was an act of disobedience and not a sexual sin,it was not about a fruit,but about rebellion,about disobedience!
If you want to get in the ship, you have to get in the water first, not to sin, but to recognize yourself as a sinner.
What? How am I going to get in the sin sea full of bad people?
Criminals,thieves, prostitution, drugs, their sins are big! Mine are small!
Who told you that?
Earth laws punishes the violation of their laws according to the size of
the violation, the bigger the violation, the bigger the punishment!
However, disobedience to God has one size: BIG.
When we break just one of God’s Commandments, we break them all!
If you see it that way, you could be able to understand that:
WE ALL ARE GUILTY OF DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD! Tell me:
Who in this world has not ever lie? Or taken something that does not
belong to them? Exodus 20 says: WORSHIP GOD ONLY!
Haven’t you ever been on your knees before an image of stone, wood
or any material or immaterial thing worshiping it as if it were God?
We don’t have to become sinners, we already are!
And we are standing in the deepest part of the water sinking!
Look! There is the ship! Our Salvation is coming! Shout!
Shout as hard as you can! Call upon Jesus!
Dear Jesus: Forgive us!
Now I understand we are sinners! Please save us!
We don’t want to sin no more!
The ship stopped and saved us!
Now, we thank God with all our hearts!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"GOD ANSWER PRAYERS"

When was the last time you sent a little prayer to God?
How are you going to receive an answer if you never asked?
How are you going to find if you never looked?
How are the doors going to be open if you don’t want to knock?
How are you going to receive God’s forgiveness if you don’t ask?
The further away we are from God the closer we are to evil!
Don’t you think that NOW, it is time to comeback?
Some places are dry! Some flooded, earth quakes, tsunamis, twisters,
hurricanes, volcanoes erupting and more, and us? Very well Thanks!
Like nothing happened!
But, what can we do?
At least to pray! Pray for you, pray for others!
God answer prayers!
We all want God’s blessings! But do nothing to earn them!
How ever, when we are in problems, we want to blame them on God!
Never let your well of love to dry out!
We cannot create love!
We obtain it from God with our prayers!
GOD IS OUR FOUNTAIN OF LOVE!
Our heart is the well in which we conserve it and when we give people
from this well to drink, it keeps filling until it overflows!
Don’t let it dry and allow hate to take over!
Love in us is Christ’s Spirit we receive when we accept Christ!
Love Him!
Christ is our only hope!
Keep Him always with you!
Never let Him go!
Begin praying!
Begin asking!
Begin giving!
Begin loving!

GOD ANSWER PRAYERS!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"LIKE A FLOWER"

We are like a flower!
What are you talking about?
I am not like a flower!
Yes you are! And I will tell you why:
Like a flower we shined in our youthful years!
Fresh and colorful!
As time passes by, we get old, wither and die!
But our seeds remain, like in a flower.
These seeds are our sons and daughters, and even
after we where long gone, we are going to continue
living in them as they will in their own seeds.
God bless our families! And .. ..
Let’s Praise the Lord!
God is Love!
When we accept Jesus Christ in our lives,
we receive His Spirit of Love inside of us!
The opposite is true with the world!
The spirit of the world is hate!
Get rid of hate with Love!
And when we are insulted, hated
injured or hurt by hate,
instead of fighting or cursing back,
lets give them the best we have inside of us.. ..
God’s Love!
When somebody gets angry and full of hate,
takes the flowers from the vase,
throw them on the floor and smash
them with their shoes!
What happen?
The house gets filled with the best
flowers have:
Their perfume!
But we are not flowers!
No Sir! We are not!
We are Christians!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"CHRIST IS COMING"

“You have to know Timothy, that in the last days, perilous times shall come.For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebrakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” II Timothy 3-1 to 4.

Christ is coming!
Let’s prepare his way,
We are really worried
When it comes this day!

People won’t listen!
They don’t want to know about a cross or a nail,
They like to think it was: Just a fairytale.

They don’t want to understand
That after all sin we had made,
everything we owe, it needs to be paid!

If we accept that Christ life for us He has given
He takes our sins for Himself,
and we will be forgiven!

If you reject Him, if you don’t believe
He gave his life for your redemption,
You remain in sin and at the end
will be condemnation!

But there is still time!
Go to Him! Repent! Don’t be afraid!
For God sake! Believe!
Believe, and you will be saved!

We have to shake from us the snake!
Recognize Jesus cross event!
And say dear Lord: I truly repent!

I believe in You! I accept You in my life!
I don’t want your condemnation!
Have mercy on me!
Give me your Salvation!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHY DO WE HATE?"

That is an interesting question! Would you like to know why we hate?
Yes, I do! Please tell me: Why do we hate?
We hate because we do not love!
C’mon, don’t be silly! Everybody knows that!
All right! Let me finish!
We do not love, because we have hate in our hearts!
But the worse part of it is that we don’t want to do anything about it,
and we are going to be hurting people and ourselves with resentment
against a person or persons that sometime in the past did to us some-
thing we did not like, and since then we felt hurt!
Resentment is like a thorn in our hearts that hurt us every time we
remember, making us to bleed drops of anger, and anger is a poison
that can kill us if we do not decide once and for all, to stop hating!
Wait a minute!
I read in the Bible that God also hates! Have you read it?
Yes! I have! But.. .. That is different!
Why? Because He is God and He has the right to hate and we do not?
No! It‘s not like that! God is Saint He loves to do Good and hates evil!
We do the opposite! Sin is the root of all our problems!
Christ said: Love people as you love yourself! Not to hate them!
Because of pride, our hearts are full of sin, we feel depressed and ill!
We feel angry, we feel anxious, unhappy, and all that negative staff
we are stuffed with!
Yes, but how could we get rid of hate?
Listen: If you want to get rid of hate, there is no better medicine than
FORGIVING PEOPLE!
It is like having a wire broom that sweeps and scrapes evil inside of us
leaving our hearts so clean that we could invite God to live inside of us!
Forgiving is not an easy task to do, first we have to ask God to forgive us
and then, we receive the cleaning “tools” to maintain us clean, forgiving!

God is Love, God is Life, God is Truth!
Stop hating! Begin living! Begin loving!
Start a new life with Christ inside your heart!
With Christ is in your heart, there is no room for evil!

Smile!
GOD LOVES YOU!


PRAISE THE LORD!
