"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!

“For where two or three are gathered in my name,
there I am in the midst of them” Mathew 18-20.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"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!
