TO BELIEVE, WHAT IS IT?"

Do you believe in God?
Of course! I do believe in God!
Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Yes! I do! Why are you asking me these questions?
I’ll tell you in a minute, but first, let me tell you that, as you know:
Every day we listen in the news about kidnappings, rapes to innocent
children, people stealing, deceiving, murdering without mercy
It is incredible, but people are walking away from God at giant steps,
allowing all these things that astonishes the whole world to happen.
Do you believe in angels?
Yes! I do believe in angels why?
Because the Bible says that God created everything including the angels.
One of them named Lucifer began to envy the Almighty because he
wanted to be, not only like Him but he wanted to be God!
The Creator of the Universe, had prepared for the devil and all his hosts of
fallen angels along with all who wishes to follow him, a lake of fire and
brimstone in which will be tormented day and night for ever and ever!
All right, but what do all these, has to do with your questions?
Listen:
At the beginning, I asked you if you believe in God and you said yes!
I asked you if you believe in Jesus Christ and you also said yes!
I asked you if you believe in angels and the devil and your answer
was the same! YES!
So: Do you know what you believe in?
Oh! You got me all confused!
All right ! let me explain you something: The word TO BELIEVE is:
TO AKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTANCE OF SOMEBODY OR
SOMETHING ONLY! So: TO BELIEVE IS NOT SUFFICIENT!
A quotation from the Bible says:
“Do you believe that there is only one God? Even demons believe it so
strongly that they tremble in terror, fool, when will you ever learn that
Believing is useless without doing what God wants you to do? James 2;19.
Anybody could believe in marriage, have kids and a complete family
Without ever being married! We are considered married after we say:
I DO! I DO ACCEPT! Not: I DO BELIEVE!
Probably many times you have said: I believe in Jesus Christ!
But: have you ever said: I ACCEPT YOU JESUS! FORGIVE ME ALL
MY SINS, I WANT TO START A NEW LIFE WITH YOU!
Have you ever said it?
To believe in Jesus Christ is not just to believe He exists, but:
TO ACCEPT DEEP IN YOUR HEART THAT HE DIED TO FORGIVE
OUR SINS AND HE ROSE TO GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE!
We accept his salvation when we open our hearts to HIM
The Joy of being saved makes us jump of happiness and make us to tell
everybody about it, just the way I am doing with you!
ACCEPT HIM! And say:
DEAR JESUS: YOU ARE MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR!
COME INTO MY HEART!
THANK YOU LORD!

"MASTER OF MY SOUL"

Dear Jesus: I believe in you!
Guide my life, guide my soul
Help me in everything I do!
Teach me to love people
from all and every nation!
Your love is for all
without discrimination!
You love the poor
You love the rich.
The bad you try to reach!
And never get tired
of every one to preach.
Earth is your garden
the Universe your domain
your sacrifice to save us
it sure was not in vane!
Millions have been saved!
Millions yet to come,
our dream it is to live,
in heaven your great home!
Is Jesus the Lord of your life?
It will be awesome, it will be neat
when you read the Bible
and Jesus you will meet.
Don’t just care about the honey
that comes along with the money!
Life on earth is not for ever,
It passes like one day..
Life from death…
It is just one step away!
Oh God: Change my life,
Be the Master of my soul!
Your name I will always greet!
And my soul…
I place it at your feet!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE TREASURE CHEST"

I had a chest in which I kept my Treasure!
It was full of valuable things!
Much more valuable that gold, jewels and diamonds!
I was very happy having with me such a Treasure!
I was very happy just in thinking that this Treasure was mine!
I thought that nobody could take it away from me!
However, one day… Somebody snatch it from me,
making me the most unhappy person in the whole world!
I looked for it everywhere without success, until one day, God,
had pity on me and I recovered!
And together with it, my happiness came back!
Now I say: From now on, I’ll be more careful!
I am going to defend it with my life if necessary!
Wow! How nice! But..
Did you really have a Treasure chest like that?
Yes I did! But this is just an analogy!
An analogy? Of what?
You’ll see: The Treasure I am referring to is Jesus Christ in the heart
of all the people who accept Him and become a Christian!
But as soon as you receive Him as your Savior, the devil begins tempting
you trying to steal from you such a precious Treasure! He wants to make
us fall so we could go back to the life we had before we had God’s Spirit!
However, after we tasted the life with Christ in us, nothing else will reach
that level of happiness!
There are no sin that will be too attractive for us to make us return
to the life of sin we had before!
Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ! Romans 8:35.
So, if you have been tempted, or you fell from grace and had returned
to the sin world….
NOW IT’S TIME TO SERIOUSLY THINK TO COME BACK!
Take your Bible, and on your knees ask God for forgiveness!
Ask Him to help you to recover your precious Treasure!
The Spirit of Christ in us, is the Greatest Treasure anybody could find!
And this Treasure it is yours to keep! But this time if you are sincere…
Nobody can take it away from you!
Thank you Lord! I don’t want to go back to sin!
With you at my side..
I am saved!
I WON’T WALK AWAY FROM YOU ANYMORE!

GLORY TO GOD!

"SPIRITUAL WARFARE"

We were born in sin, grew up in it, and having nothing better to do,
we followed the desires of our hearts in a world ruled by sin.
We had “peace”, the “peace” the world offers when we obey it,
and in return for our obedience… The world loves us!
Inside of us there is no fighting, because as we know, it takes two
to tango, therefore, we cannot fight against ourselves.
Everything was O. K. then, somebody comes talking us about God!
Talking about getting rid of sin, and begin a new life, with Christ!
Immediately, the devil gets himself on guard!
The “world” tries to convince us there is nothing better than the
desires of our heart obtaining the material things it offers us, and then…
Inside of us begins… A SPIRITUAL WARFARE!
The spiritual warfare starts when we feel inside, the urge to know God!
When we begin thinking that life in this world is not all there is!
When we begin understanding that after death, THERE IS LIFE!
And this life could be obtained by believing that God sent his Son
to give us this life eternal when we believe, and obey Him!
To know God is very important, but, more important is to obey Him!
We have been obeying the spirit of sin for so long we can remember,
mow that we are trying to obey God and the warfare began, we have
to be sure on which side we are standing! We cannot fight on both sides!
We cannot say we love God and keep obeying the devil hating people!
We have to demonstrate our love for Christ obeying Him!
Are we fighting for God? Or against Him!
When we accept Christ and invite Him to live in us, the war is won!
Even that we continue suffering the worlds hate!
IT IS FINNISHED! Said Christ when He was dying at the cross!
John 19-30.
He won the war for us! The war against sin, Victory against death!
Conquering eternal life for everyone who wants to receive Him!
The “peace” of the world was obtained neglecting Christ!
The Peace of Christ is obtained by inviting Him to enter in your heart!

“I am leaving you with a gift, peace of mind and heart;
And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives.
So don’t be troubled and afraid.” John 14-27.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE DREAM"

In every person there is a dream!
In every dream a Hope!
In every Hope a Faith,
In every Faith a road.

In every road an end,
In every end a prize,
In every prize happiness
in happiness a satisfaction.

If your dream is to go to heaven
And your Hope is in God’s Might,
You will be taken to the Father
by his Son Jesus the Christ.

But if you always walked in sin,
You won’t find anything nice…
You won’t find Jesus!
You won’t find a prize

Get closer to God!
His Son for you has given,
when you truly repent……
For sure you’ll be forgiven

His Light will shine upon you!
He will be with you 24- seven,
And when you’ll reach the end..
You will wake up in heaven!

The “Way” to heaven is open!
You could ask Mary his Mother…
Like her Son: Jesus the Christ…
In the world… There is no other!

PRAISE THE LORD!
