Do you really have your trust in God?
Absolutely! My trust is in Him!
Do you know that when we trust somebody we deposit our confidence
and our faith in that person?
And when we doubt, our faith stumbles, our confidence crystallizes,
our trust shatters and wastes?
Yes, but not with me!
My trust is unbreakable!
That is what Saint Peter said to Jesus, remember?
You know what happened next!
Are you trying to destroy my faith?
Not at all!
On the contrary, I want it to be real!
I wanted to be true!
What destroys our faith is doubt, and doubt comes to us when we sin!
We cannot put our trust in God and sin at the same time!
One destroys the other, and in this case, doubt is stronger than trust
and God don’t want us to doubt, but to have faith!
No! no! no!, My faith is stronger than any doubt, I guarantee you that!
Oh yea?
Then, answer me this:
Have you ever felt lonely?
Have you ever felt down?
Have you ever felt anxious and despaired?
Yes, but…
But what?
All that is caused by doubt, and doubt is not having enough faith!
And let me tell you something:
When we really trust God, we deposit our faith in Him!
Ask Him to live in us…And then…
We will never be lonely again!
He will put his Holy Spirit in us when we accept His Son
to strengthen us! To give us Courage, Peace, Love, Happiness!
Listen:
DO YOU REALLY HAVE YOUR TRUST IN HIM?
OPEN YOUR ARMS TO CHRIST
HE IS WAITING FOR YOU!
TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM! and…..
PRAISE THE LORD!

"AT THE CONTROLS"
Who is at the controls?
I am! I am at the controls!
Are you sure?
Yes! Who else?
Remember what you are saying when you feel depressed, anxious, with fear.
You are going to find out that you are not really at the controls!
No? Then, ¿who? Who is at the controls if it is not me?
God! God is at the controls, and our faith in Him, makes us to feel happy,
secure, courageous, then, sin comes, our faith fails, and we start doubting,
and hating, we become sour, angry, depressed, and instead of asking God
for forgiveness, for patience, for love, we close our eyes and take a pill
to make us feel good, calmed and “happy!”
Jesus said:
“If you had a faith as a mustard seed, you could tell to a mountain to move
and it would obey you, nothing for you would be impossible!” Mat. 17-20
We may never have a faith that will move a literal mountain, but, we have
inside of us “Mountains” of problems that could be solved just by putting
our faith at the feet of Christ!
If sin created inside of us negative mountains of doubts, why don’t we
destroy them with our positive faith?
Faith in God, is to believe that:
Christ can remove from us all sin, and its negative effects!
GOD IS AT THE CONTROLS!
He does not want to control us, on the contrary….
HE WANTS US TO BECOME FREE, FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN,
WHEN WE PUT OUR TRUST IN HIM!
God is at the controls!
There is nothing to fear!
There is nothing to be afraid of, when we put our trust in Him!
How wonderful really is…
TO PUT OUR TRUST IN CHRIST!
PRAISE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART!
YOU WILL BE SAVED!

"DO WHAT I SAY"
Dad: what are you drinking?
A beer!
Does it taste good?
No son, it tastes bitter!
Can I try it dad?
No, son, you are under age! Why do you want to taste it?
Well dad, just to know which one to drink when I grow up!
No son, I would not let you do it!
Why?
Because it could make you ill!
Then dad, why do you drink it?
Dad: I noticed that when you are drinking, you are also smoking!
Does that taste good?
No, son, it tastes awful!
I don’t understand dad, if it tastes bad, why do you continue using it?
I am your son, and I am watching everything you do, so when I grow up,
I will follow your steps!
No, son, I would not recommend it at all! Hey…
What are you doing in front of the mirror with a pencil in your mouth?
Oh, I ‘m just trying to see how I am going to look when I start smoking!
No son! Don’t do what I do! Do what I say!
Sorry dad! Your actions talk so loud that I can’t hear what you are saying!
Remember I am your son and I will choose what ever you choose to do!
Dad: Somebody told me that heaven or hell it is just a matter of choice!
Heaven is to choose God’s obedience, and hell it to choose not to choose
to obey Him! Is that right?
The man begun to cry, fell on his knees and started to pray:
Thank you Lord for giving me this angel to guide me to your way, I don’t
want him to follow me in my wrong choices, from now on, I choose
to obey You! Please forgive me and help me to remain faithful to you!
Come on son! I don’t want you to follow me, get next to me!
From now on, we will choose together!
We will choose right!
We will choose God!
Forever!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE TRASH PICKER"
You are going to be surprised if I tell you that a very important person
is picking up trash from the streets!
Oh yea? Could you tell me who he or she is?
Yes! I‘ll let you know it in a second, but first I have to say that:
You know this person!
Really?
Yes!
That person uses a bag to collect it, and that bag is full!
But the worse part is that it is not done for necessity, but for pleasure!
Wait! Wait a minute!
You are making a serious mistake!
I don’t know anybody that picks up trash on the streets! And for pleasure…
Hell no!
I am going to tell you who this person is, and you tell me if you know it!
Go ahead!
This person is YOU!
Me??? Are you crazy?
When have you seen me doing that?
When you buy a pack of cigarettes!
When you buy alcohol or drugs!
When you curse a person on the streets!
When you are watching pornography!
When you go to bed with some one else!
When you are not worshiping the True God!
Oh God I am sorry! Forgive me! Please!
And fill me up with your Spirit!
God wants to give you his greatest treasure: HIMSELF!
He wants to fill you up with his Spirit but your heart, where He would
live, is full already! Full of trash!
You need to empty it confessing your sins to Him! He will forgive you!
And forgiveness empties our hearts from sin!
The Bible says that if we confess our sins to God, He is faithful to
forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” I John 9.
If we are picking up trash from the streets, our bag is occupied, and if
we find a treasure, where we are going to put it if our bag is full?
Of course! We have to empty it so we could fill it up with the…
Treasure we just found!
The greatest Treasure anybody could find is The Grace of God!
Grace is forgiveness! And Forgiveness is Christ!
Go on your knees, read the Bible, and… PRAISE THE LORD!

"TROY'S HORSE"
The great ancient city of Troy was powerful!
Nobody that confront them face to face, could emerge victorious over her,
because it’s army was enormous and an incredible capacity for war!
One day after a big fight, its enemy flew away leaving a wooden horse
behind, the horse was as tall as a house, hollow in the inside, the horse
was not alone, it was filled with brave soldiers risking their lives to help winning the war.
The curiosity and pride of the Trojans was big,and in loved with the horse, they considered a war Trophy, and carried it inside the city for their defeat!
At night, the soldiers very quite, came out from the interior of the horse,
and opening the gates, allowed inside the city, Troy’s enemies, that fiercely attacked and conquered that wonderful city, and destroy it!
The human body is like the city of Troy! Great and powerful!
Made to last many, many years, but like Troy’s horse, we get in love with
Sin, and we drag it inside of us and when it is inside, open the gates to let our enemies to attack us and destroy us!
What can we do?
Sin is the obscurity that does not permit us to come close to God’s light.
The world, even in broad day light, it is sunk into a heavy darkness, and
when we open our heart to it, the darkness inside our being increases!
And only when God’s Light enters in us, we could very sadly recognize,
how big and heavy really is! It covers our eyes and does not let us see,
the magnificent Light of God!
The world’s Sin, is not the one that hurt us!
But the one we carry inside of us!
How could we be able to get rid of it?
Of course!
Opening the doors of our hearts to Jesus Christ!
He says:
“I am the Light of the world; he that follows me, shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8: 12
Sin is the darkness of the world!
Christ is the Light in which darkness does not prevail!
Let’s get out from that obscure cave and come out to the Light!
The Light of the world! Jesus Christ!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"OPEN THE DOOR"
Lazarus: Somebody is knocking at your door!
He wants to talk with you!
Oh, I ‘m sorry but I am very busy right now!
I have to finish something I’m doing, could you tell him to wait?
Sure! I’ll do that!
Lazarus, the person is still waiting, aren’t you going to open?
Just a minute! I found something very interesting I am reading!
Could you tell him to come back tomorrow?
All right! I’ll let him know what you said!
Thanks!
Lazarus was enjoying his life and he did not let anybody to disturb him!
Lazarus: I talked to the man, He said his name is Jesus and He is waiting
for you to open the doors of your heart and let Him in!
Yes! No problem!
I’m just going to take a quick shower and come right out!
Lazarus became ill and died, without opening the door!
Suddenly he heard a voice of command saying:
Lazarus: Come forward!
Lazarus came back to life and opened the door obeying Christ!
We all have a “Lazarus” inside of us!
Very busy, living for our own convenience and enjoyment, without
caring about God’s Son. Jesus is knocking at the doors of the hearts
of every person in the hole wide world.
Yes! Every one of us!
However, we may have not the chance Lazarus had!
We all are going to be resurrected it is right, but…
The ones who responded and open the doors for Jesus, will be
resurrected for an eternal life, and the ones that preferred to “wait”
they will be resurrected for an eternal doom.
Don’t wait until is too late!
Jesus said:
“ I am the Resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though
He were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth
In me, shall never die.” John 11: 25 and 26.
Lazarus: Come forward…Open the door… And praise the Lord.

"SEED SOWERS"
What are you doing José?
Are you saving people?
No! I am not! I am just trying to sow some seeds from the Word of God
to whoever wants to listen! You could laugh all you want, but:
Let me tell you something and don’t forget it ever:
WE CANNOT SAVE ANYONE!
THERE IS ONLY ONE SAVIOR HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST!
He was the one who die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins!
HE IS THE GOOD SOWER!
We as Christians, are not the GOOD SOWER, but…
SOWERS OF THE GOOD SEEDS.
Jesus said: Please read Chapter 13 of Mathew.
If the seeds fall in good ground, sprouts, grows and fructifies, this is
considered as a good ground, and God separates it for his service,
but if the seed sprouts, withers and dies, that is considered a bad
ground and it is set apart for destruction. The bad grounds, are good
just for thorns, and thistles!
They are two kind of sowers, sowers of the good seeds, and sowers
of the bad ones.
The bad grounds full of thistles, need to be prepared to receive the
good seed before it is planted!
THE THISTLES ARE OUR SINS!
REPENTANCE SHAKES THE GROUNDS!
FORGIVENESS GETS RID OF THE THISTLES!
The good sowers plant good seeds!
God makes them to grow up and produce fruits.
Sowers of good seeds plant the Word of God in the heart of the
unbelievers, so they could learn about God! And believe!
While the bad sowers plant in the heart of good people, evil seeds!
SIN SEEDS!
Look at your ground!
Does it have good fruits for people?
Prepare your ground!
Repent of your sins!
Cry to God for forgiveness!
Open your heart to Christ…
To be born again to sow the Good seeds!
THANKS TO JESUS!
PRAISE THE LORD!
