"LISTEN"

It could be the most beautiful speech in the world, painted with
colorful words with the angelical chores singing at background,
the most profound expression of love ever heard, but it won’t
mean anything if you…Don’t listen!
The most outstanding lyrics extracted by the best musicians
of the world but if you insist in keeping you ears closed…
You won’t hear a thing!
Why?
Because you don’t listen!
But if a little fly passes near you, awaken all your senses!
Listen:
There is music in everything!
In the singing of the birds, in the rain, in the relentless waves
of the sea, even in the beating of your heart, there is music!
A music you don’t want ever to stop!
Listen:
God promised you an everlasting life and the forgiveness
of your sins after the acceptance in your life at his Son
who died on a cross to save you!
But…
It won’t mean a thing if you …do not want to listen!
Are you listening?
Well, then…
May God fill you up with his best blessings in the New Year
that is about to begin!
And don’t forget to…
PRAISE THE LORD!

"DEAR SANTA 2"

“SANTA ANSWERS” (Continues from Dear Santa)

The Law can kill, but cannot give life!
God wanted to reconcile with the world and prepare a new one:
FORGIVENESS OF SINS!
“To wit, God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,
not charging, but forgiving their sins” II Corinthians 5-19.
But God could not find a sinless person that could help us, and
He sent his beloved Son to die on a cross, obtaining with his sacrifice,
the power to forgive the sins, and eternal life with his resurrection for
anybody that believe He can do it! Let me tell you my son, that when
people like you is tired of sinning, and want to turn their backs to sin
and their faces to God, (Repentance) He,(God) send to us to his Son
to forgive us and prepare a new life that will continue forever!
Turn to Christ and when your bag of sins be empty, burn it!
And begin filling up your heart with love for God and people.
I cannot forgive your sins! Only God can!
But there is something I could do:
To deliver to your house at the anniversary of our Lord, A Bible!
So you could know God and what He expects from you!
GOD BLES YOU, and…
MERRY CHRISTMAS! HO, HO, HO.
Santa.

It is sad that a lot of people believe that Santa Claus exists and deny
the existence of the One and only true God that sent his only Son to
change the life of sin we are living, into a clean life away from sin.
Life eternal is not a simple fantasy of our minds, but a reality for all
those who believe God.
And what does He want us to believe?
That He sent his Son to save us!
God exists, and his creation is the great proof of his existence!
His Word is the proof of his love!
“In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God,
The Word was God” John 1-1.
Do you believe?
PRAISE THE LORD!

"DEAR SANTA"

Dear Santa Claus, I am writing you a letter because I feel lonely, full
of regrets, tired of this life of anxieties, fears, worries and insecurities
of all kinds. I carry on my shoulder a big sack full of sins that I want
to get rid off, but I don’t know how!
What I do know, is that this heavy sack of sins, is going to push me
all the way down, and I don’t want to go down, but up!
I know that as a human being that I am, sooner of later I have to die,
But, who cares, I am living in hell with this life of mine.
I am trying to find where the Fountain of life is, and if I have my sins
forgiven, I will begin to have peace and love in my heart.
I will begin to love people instead of hurting them.
Charity instead of taking away!
Praise people instead of cursing them.
Love instead of hate!
I need your help!
I want to remove from me all those sins that make me suffer, and
obtain eternal life to live forever in heaven!
Will you help me?
I will eagerly wait for your response!
Thank you Santa!
Lonely.
SANTA ANSWERS:
My son: I am really sorry to hear about all your problems, but we
also have quite a few ones ourselves, you’ll see:
The air in the North Pole is not as fresh as it use to be, it is also bad,
polluted and contaminated as the one you are breathing.
The ice is melting!
We are working very hard trying to finish all the toys to deliver them
in time, we are sweating a lot, because we don’t want to turn on
the air conditioning and increase the global warming.
The world is a mess! Hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, earth quakes,
tornadoes, typhoons, and we don’t know what to expect next!
O, I’m sorry son, getting back to your letter, I will tell you something:
After Adam and Eve’s sin, an enmity with God began!
They turned their backs to God and their faces to sin, and because they
were no Laws, everyone did whatever their minds conceived.
Until God through Moses, gave to the world his Law.
Now people would know what was right and what was wrong!
but God noticed some faults on that Law, because the Law condemns,
but cannot forgive!

TO BE CONTINUED……

"HEAVEN OR HELL?"

What is closer to us, heaven or hell?
If you guest hell, you are right!
We were born with it in our hearts, and having the devil as king…
We became his slaves!
How awful, but I don’t believe it, I am a religious person, and
I cannot have hell within me!
Are you sure of that?
Well, I guess so!
Although heaven and hell are real places, they begin inside of us,
and we could be living in one or the other by accepting or rejecting
the salvation Christ offers to us!
I, I don’t understand!
Listen: We don’t have to teach a little kid to lie, they already came
with it, we have to teach them not to do it!
We have to teach them not to take what is not theirs,
We have to teach them to respect and to love people, otherwise,
they will become a person against God’s will, because He wants
us to love people as much as we possible can.
But it takes a little more than just wishing it!
Just by ourselves is not easy to destroy the devil’s kingdom inside
of us, we need help, a lot of help from God!
And how could we get it?
Very simply asking Him for it!
ASK AND SHALL BE GIVEN YOU (Luke 11-9)
God sent his only Son to knock on the doors of our heart and
if we open it to Him, He will enter and his Light begins to shine
and illuminating the caves of our heart, we will be able to see
how much filth we have accumulated through our lives.
We need his help, but we need to do our share, and following
his orders, we will deny obedience to the hell ruler and his
kingdom inside of us, begins to collapse, then, we could start
building up a new one with God’s directions!
Heaven begins on earth!
Going to heaven is easy, when we accept Christ as our Savior!
Let the Light of Christ shine inside your heart!
INVITE HIM TO ENTER!
You will begin a new life on the road to heaven and then…
You will be praying God with all your heart!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"ONE DEVIL,MANY GODS?"

Although this looks all wrong, this is the “true” believed all over the
world, because the reality is that there are thousands and thousands
of different religions, and in every one of them there is a different
“god”, but the devil… is the same!
We concealed the “ truth” in the bottom of the trash we have been
accumulating throughout the years of our life, and because of that…
The real Truth, we cannot see!
Where is the Truth?
Every one of us is “Manufacturing” our own truth to believe in it!
We are trying to get rid of God and begin thinking that He does not
exist, or that we don’t need Him because we are auto sufficient!
And worse of all, that we are Him!
But if we begin digging into all that rubble of ours, we will certainly
find that there is only One God! And many, many devils!
One Creator and a lot of destroyers of which we don’t want to be one!
How could we find the Truth?
The Bible is the Light that will shine into all that mess we have made
with our lives, and getting rid of all our trash, we will uncover..
The truth is that:
There is only One Creator, and He descent from heaven to earth,
to give his life on a cross as a ransom to rescue us from our sins!
And resurrected to give us life eternal when we believe in Him!
Jesus is his name! And He said:
I am the Truth! The Way and the life!
Nobody can come to the Father if is not through me! John 14 : 6.

After his sermon, said the Bible, many believe in Him, and Jesus
told the Jews which believe on him, if you continue in my word
then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.
John 8 : 31 and 32
One God, One Truth!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHAT CAN I DO TO SAVE ME?"

If you were in a hospital, or in a house visiting a very sick person, and
after you do all the protocol that implies visiting an ill person, then you
say good bye, the sick person clings to your arm with all its strength and
tells you: I know I am going to die, I am afraid, I know I’m lost with
all my sins, but please tell me: What can I do to be saved?
What would it be your answer?
I don’t know!
Could it be: Repent of your sins? Or, Ask God for his forgiveness?
But you are not sure are you? Look:
That is an important issue because with all certainty one day, we will
be, at the bed side or on the bed, and we need to know the answer!
Then tell me: What the answer is?
Believe it or not, the answer is: NOTHING!
Nothing? But, that is what we have been doing all our lives, that is
why we are sinners, because we haven’t done anything for God,
seriously, tell me: What do I have to do to be saved?
BELIEVE!
But in order to believe, we have to have Faith, and that is also a present
From God! We all have Faith! We all believe in something!
However, only the Faith that is placed on Jesus, the Son of God,
is the Faith that saves! And we may have just a few minutes to try to
re rout the road of this person to God!
To repent of our sins do not save us, because we take longer to repent
than to return to sin again! We need Grace!
Grace is a present of eternal life from God, thanks to the sacrifice of his
Son on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins!
We don’t have to do anything to obtain it!
We just have to receive it! Listen:
FOR SO GOD LOVE THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER
BELIEVE IN HIM, SHOULD NOT PERISH,
BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. John 3- 16.
We need to confess Jesus Christ as our Savior more than to confess
our sins. Please read Romans 10-9.
We all are in God’s heart! But not all of us have Him in ours!
INVITE HIM TO ENTER IN YOURS! And give…
GLORY TO GOD!

"A SLAP ON THE FACE"

God is going to slap me on the face when I’ll be in front of Him
for all my sins!
Don’t worry!
He is not going to slap you at all!
We slap ourselves when we sin, because in every sin,
punishment, lays within!
Or you could say it in another way:
WE REAP WHAT WE SOWED!
Yea! But He is going to send me to hell because of all my sins!
AGAIN: God does not send anybody to hell just for their sins,
but for rejecting the salvation of their souls not taking seriously
his Son Jesus the Christ!
SIN TAKES CARE OF ITSELF!
The punishment of sin is death!
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6: 23.
We have the power of choice within us, and we are the ones
who chooses the place we wanted to go by accepting or rejecting
Jesus Christ!
If we follow sin, we are going to end in the sinner’s house,
no doubt about it! But if we follow Jesus,
He will take us to his Father house in heaven!
A slap on the face won’t take us anywhere!
JESUS DOES!
If we believe He can save us… We will be saved!
“Whoever believes in the Son, has eternal life, but whoever rejects
The Son will not see life for God’s wrath remains in him” John 3- 36.
God put in his Son all Power and Glory!
The Glory He will share with us if we accept Him as our Savior!
Stop slapping yourself with SIN!
And begin loving God, loving people!
Read the Bible! Know the Lord!
Read the Bible…And..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE SCISSORS"

We use a pair of “scissors” to cut into our life span in less than one half,
of what it should be!
But why do we use such an instrument to shorten our lives?
These pair of “scissors”, are called: Bad habits, and after a constant use,
they turn into vices, and vices are the bad things we do against our own will.
Excess smoking, drinking, and specially, the wrongful use of drugs!
Drugs had killed many people specially youngsters, that at very young age
began their use, and very few of them reach their ripe age.
One of them could be our own son or daughter if we are not careful.
When we are young, we think we own the whole world!
We think nothing can harm us! But even if we survive, when we get old,
our bodies begin developing illnesses consequence of our abuse of them.
Lung cancer has been related of excess of cigarette smoking,
kidney and liver diseases with alcohol abuse.
Psychological disorders with non prescribed drugs, etc.
But the worse of all is that we pass all these illnesses to our children
at no extra cost!
And even our bad habits eating junk food lead us to obesity that affects
the normal function of our bodies, developing heart diseases, high blood
pressure, problems in our digestive system, and more! Much more!
Your future is in your hands!
We could begin today to build the foundation of a healthy life at ripe
old age, getting rid of our bad habits, exchanging them for good ones!
Easier to say than done?
Your right!
But nothing is impossible for God!
He will give you all the strength you need to overcome your bad habits!
Specially the most dangerous of them all: SIN!
STOP USING THE BAD HABIT SCISSORS TO CUT YOUR LIFE!
The Bible is the Good habit “scissor” to cut your bad ones,
and increase your good ones!
How to find God for help?
Listen:
“YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME
WITH ALL YOUR HEART, I WILL BE FIND BY YOU
DECLARES THE LORD.” Jeremiah 29: 13.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"A FISTFUL OF SAND"

The human being is like a fistful of sand!
Sparkling clean when we were born, but as we grow up, we become
contaminated with the salt and dirt of the sin’s sea!
Some so badly covered with dirt, that we cannot see their “sand”
We had lived with sin for so long that we cannot distinguish if we
are sand or dirt, all that dirt we have been picking up day by day
without the slightest desire to get rid of it!
Or perhaps we don’t know how!
If you take a fistful of sand picked up from a dirty beach, put it inside
a strainer with very fine holes and throw some water inside of it,
the salt and dirt will begin to come out from the strainer.
We could speed up the process if we use hot water instead of cold.
And when we finish we will have, a truly clean sand!
Why in the world do I need a fistful of clean sand?
My friend:
That fistful of contaminated sand that needs cleansing is you!
But we won’t do anything at all, until the desire to get clean…
Afloat in our heart!
That desire is called repentance but repentance alone won’t do!
We need the Powerful cleansing “Water” that will melt our sins
and remove them from the deepest part of our hearts!
The “Strainer” is Jesus Christ who gently receive the Water of his
Holy Spirit and pour it on us to clean us from all sin.
Then He separates us for his own purposes of saving people!

God is True! Never Lies!
God is Light! Never darkens!
God is Virtue! Never Sins!
But us, we are always standing at the intersection of two roads
Choosing most the times, the wrong one!
The clean sand is our virtues! Mud is our sins!
Next to God we will not suffer indecisions we won’t suffer doubts!
Because, with the Truth on our side, we will learn that God is Love!
And loving people is our most sincere proof, that we love God!
Only one road to heaven: JESUS CHRIST!
Are you ready?

PRAISE THE LORD!

"ALL ABOUT WEIGHT"

How advanced science would be now if Isaac Newton had not been seating
under an apple tree watching one of its fruits falling down?
Stupendous! Incredible! Gravity was discovered! But…What is gravity?
Gravity is the attraction the earth exerts toward its center.
This force although it does not feel too strong, maintains all things that has
weight on its surface, the bigger the weight, the stronger the attraction.
We can walk, we can run, we can jump without any problem, but as we get
older, this “mild” attraction feels stronger!
The gravitational force do not change, we do!
When we are young we practically don’t feel it!
We don’t even know it exists! But as the years pass by, becomes our enemy.
As kids or youngsters, we exercise a lot, but little by little we begin to think
We do not need it! But… How wrong we are!
If we stop fighting against the gravity force, it will take us down faster than
we think! But what we don’t realize is that: The heavier we are,
the attraction is stronger and more difficult for us to move, to walk etc.
I saw in the television a ninety plus years Lady performing Gymnastic
Exercises as she were an eighteen years old girl, AMAZING!
The secret of her longevity: EXERCISE! Of course!
The other side of the coin shows when I see people on their early thirties
or younger, that their only exercise is eating and drinking!
Before they know it, they will begin to walk with difficulties!
C’mon Guys! Wake up!
Eating well and exercising is the best medicine we can give to our bodies!
The only antidote before illnesses hit us!
All right! All right!
Why don’t you exercise yourself and shut up?
Well, because loving people is not thinking in ourselves only!
But also in the others! Besides, if you don’t want to take advantage of
exercising, keep eating and drinking as you always do, and…
I am sure you will understand it later!
Live longer and healthier! Exercise and….

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE WI-FI CODE"

With the new technologies of the world, they developed new equipment:
3 D Televisions, electronic games, wireless phones, wireless cameras,
wireless everything, thanks to a new device called WI-FI.
It is a little box that provides internet signal around your home, just by
putting a code that comes with it to your gadgets, and all your family can
enjoy their favorite “toys” without the mess of wires. How nice isnt it?
Of course! But… Tired of playing with their stuff, they go to sleep and
get upset with mom when she finished talking on her phone and sends
them to do their chores. And when she called dads attention about too
much football, he got angry and saying Jesus, after a long string
of very laud insults, things begin to fly over his head and finally he
slams the door and leaves the house.
Jesus mom, why always you and dad end fighting?
Mom also upset, says: Jesus! I hope he will never comes back!
What is going on? Everything was so beautiful!
Well, you may say, it’s normal in all families! Is it?
What is it really happening?
I’ll tell you:
God wanted to reunite the whole world, and sent his only Son Jesus,
to help us! When the families are united in him, there is true peace!
The people united in his name are in God’s “WI-FI” to access heaven!
The “Code” ? : JESUS! Our direct wireless connection to heaven!
But it was never installed in the computer of our minds!
Or in the software of our hearts!
Do you want to know something? It could be installed in seconds!
Repenting of our sins and having the desire of begin a new life
with Christ at our side.
How to “Install” Him in us?
Very simple! Just by saying:
Jesus: Come into my heart! I believe in you!
Be my Lord and Savior!
You will not regret it!
You will have the best “WI-FI” ever invented for the enlightening
of ourselves, with God bringing peace and love to our families!
You will have access, not to the internet, but to the UNIVERSE!
Go ahead! Do it! And instead of cursing and sinning you are going to:…

PRAISE THE LORD!
GOD BLESS YOU!

"THE PIGGY BANK"

A lot of people like to buy piggy banks to save their loose change
but when this “piggy” is full, they don’t want to open it and use the
money, because they had it for so long that they don’t want to break it!
They just lift it up and try to guess how much money it may have!
Many Christians, like to read the Bible and listen to radio programs
to learn more about God, but they don’t want to share their knowledge
with anybody!
It is like saving it inside a “piggy bank” just for them selves!
And the Bible says that Christ made us kings and priests for his Father.
How are we going to be priests if we don’t like to share?
Our knowledge of God should be shared, not to be saved just for us!
The Word of God is Wisdom!
Wisdom that God uses to awake us!
The Word of God is Light!
Light to illuminate the path of the people who want to know God!
The Word of God is Life!
Eternal Life comes to us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior!
The Word of God is Love!
Love that bestowed on us when He sacrificed his only Son to save us!
The Word of God is the blessings we receive when we tell others…
Who saved us!

The Word of God is Christ!

Fill your heart with Love and give it to the people!
You will overflow with it!

Read the Bible, and…
PRAISE THE LORD!

"JOURNEY TO HEAVEN"

Journey to heaven? Why not journey to hell?
Thanks to SIN, we are in hell! And if we want to go to heaven,
we need somebody to rescue us from the dominions of death!
If I ask you where is heaven, you probably are going to point me above
your head, right?
But if I call somebody from Japan asking the same question, they are going
to point above their heads also, and that will be exactly the opposite
direction as you are pointing right now, so, where is heaven?
I guess I don’t really know!
Correct! We don’t know!
That is why if we want to go to heaven we need a “Guide”
and the only one who could guide us is the one who lives there: GOD.
Going to hell is not hard, it‘s easy, just cross your arms and keep sinning
as you always do, and you will get there for sure! But if you don’t like
that idea, you better begin looking for a Savior to rescue you: God!
God? But there are many “gods” Which one should I go to?
Go to the True One! The one who sent his only Son to die on a cross to
pay for all your sins: Jesus Christ!
He is always ready to help you when you ask Him for his help!
If you want to know more about Him, read the Bible!
And when you are convinced that He can save you…
ASK HIM TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE!
ASK HIM TO SAVE YOU!
The world is hell because of SIN, we cannot change it, but we can change
ourselves accepting Christ, and beginning a new life away from SIN.
We could be living in our own “paradise”.
Is Jesus coming again to save the world?
No! I don’t think so! He came already and was despised for many!
His return is going to be to judge the unbelievers!
Our Passport to heaven has a name: JESUS CHRIST!
And we will be sealed by his Spirit when we receive Him in our hearts!

JOURNEY TO HEAVEN!
ARE YOU READY?

PRAISE THE LORD!

"I HAVE FAITH"

I have faith and the way I’m living my life demonstrates my faith!
Awesome!
It is nice to hear somebody talking about their faith this way, but…
Let me tell you something:
You could have lots of faith, a humongous amount of faith, in fact:
You could be as good as mother Theresa, or be performing miracles,
curing sick people, or conducting charities throughout the world, but…
If your faith is not anchored on the life, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ, you could not be saved!
Why???
Because only the faith that is placed on the Son of the Almighty God,
the one He named to be the world Savior is the faith that saves!
When we accept Him as our Lord, we receive his Holy Spirit to rule
in our lives, and obeying Him, we will be lead into a life of love,
and understanding of people. Yes!
But, in order to be saved, WE HAVE TO OBEY GOD!
“And this is his commandment: That we should believe on the name
of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us
commandment.” I John 3 : 23.
Accepting Jesus as our Savior, is to obey God!
So, it does not matter that we say how good or bad we are!
What it really counts is: If we have Him or not!
Do you have Him? PRAISE THE LORD!
But if you haven’t accepted Him yet…
Don’t worry!
He is waiting for you with open arms!
Take your time! But… Remember:
You have to do it while your heart is still ticking, and your lungs
still breathing the polluted air of this world!

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS MERCY,
PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS LOVE!

"SIN, A SWEET FRUIT"

Sin is a sweet fruit to our palate but once is inside of us, it becomes bitter!
Impossible to digest!
We take laxatives to get rid of it, but instead of going to our stomach,
It disseminates for all parts trough all parts of our body and soul,
affecting the proper function of them physically and spiritually.
One by one all sin keeps adding up changing completely our behavior!
Our days become cloudy, rainy and cold!
We become angry and bitter!
We begin to hate!
One day we realize that we need help! God’s help!
And suddenly we remember that our mother told us one day:
Son: Don’t forget Jesus!
He died on the cross to forgive us all our sins when we accept Him
as our Lord and Savior!
He will put you back on God’s road!
Yes! That’s it! I said! And with hands together and my head down…
I began to pray:
Dear Jesus please forgive me!
I repent of all my sins!
Help me to begin a new life closer to you!
Sin is hate! You are Love!
Teach me to love people the way you do!
I don’t want to sin no more!
A new day with shiny sun begins for us when we invite Him
to enter into our hearts!
Now we can truly smile!
God is on our side!
Thank you Jesus!
You are my Savior and my Lord!
From now on, I will…..

PRAISE THE LORD!

"MOTHER OF JESUS"

Our sons and daughters are the most valuable assets our bodies could
be able to produce and to get rid of them before they are born, is to
reject the most precious presents God could give to the human being:
Our descendants!
The most terrible thing a woman can confront is to loose the
opportunity to become pregnant again after performing an abortion!
It is our right! They say!
Yes! It is! No question about it!...
But the consequences could be very harmful and depressing!
It is their right!
But could also become their wrong!
If the Virgin Mary had appeal to this right of an abortion,
we could not say: MOTHER OF JESUS!
And she could not be called:
The most blessed among women, as the Archangel Gabriel
called her! Luke 1:26
But thanks to God, we can!
Thank you Virgin Mary for giving birth to the Savior of the world!
You may not have the Savior of the world inside your womb but …
You may have the joy of your entire life and the pleasure to listen
from him or her to call you: MOM!
Jesus forgives us when we ask Him, and gives us rest!
Rest in the arms of Jesus!
Rest in the bosom of the Lord!

Give your mother a big hug and a kiss and tell her:
I LOVE YOU MOTHER!
Love your sons and daughters and teach them:
TO LOVE THE LORD!

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

"IN THE BOSOM OF THE LORD"

Do you believe in God?
Yes! I do!
Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Yes! I do believe in Him!
Have you accepted Him as your Savior?
What is that?
I’ll tell you in a minute!
Look: To believe is not enough!
In every religion there is a different “god” and not in all religions
Jesus Christ is worshipped!
The One and only God, appointed his Son to be the Savior of the
world, and only when we believe in Him we could be saved!
To acknowledge the existence of Jesus do not make us a believer!
We have to deposit our Trust, our Faith, and our Love in Him!
To believe in Jesus is to love Him!
To believe in Jesus is to trust Him with all our heart!
We have to depend on Him!
I don’t get it, I don’t get it!
Listen:
After a baby is fed, leans its head on the bosom of his mother or the
person who was feeding him and falls into a deep sleep without fear,
peacefully, knowing that this person will protect him against all
perils that could come, and, the baby feels safe!
A mother would die to save her baby! But listen:
God sacrificed his own Son, to save us!
He feeds us with his Word, and offers us his bosom to rest!
Do you believe in Jesus?
Then… Rest! Don’t be afraid!
Rest in the bosom of the Lord! He will take good care of you!

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give
you rest, take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart; and you shall find rest unto your souls.”

"THE EYE GLASSES OF GOD"

What do you mean?
God does not need any glasses, what are you trying to say?
Listen: We all know that a bad apple contaminates the whole barrel!
But… How many good apples do we need to cure a bad one?
Oh! That is impossible!
A million good apples cannot convert a bad apple into a good one!
Correct! But check this out:
We just need to see an apple to know if it is a good one or not!
But in a person, it is harder! Much harder to know if it is good or not!
That is why by misjudgment, many good people are in jail and a lot
of bad ones are walking on the streets!
God does not need any eye glasses to see! That is correct!
We are the ones who need them!
King Solomon once said that wisdom is the ability to separate
Falsehood from the Truth!
It is to trim the bad part of an apple, not to throw it into the barrel!
It is to trim the cancerous part in the patient, to make him live!
The Bible is the surgical knife of God that his Son uses to remove
the “cancerous tumors of sin” within us to give us life! Eternal life!
And without living any scars, He makes us whole!
The Bible is: The eye glasses of God we should “wear” so we could
be able to see and understand the magnitude of sinners we are!
And also to make us feel the desire to get close to his Son to cure us!
To transform us from sinners to forgiven people, so we could show
others how to get saved and to love our Lord!

“SIN IS THE “WIND” THAT PUSHES OUR “SAILS”,
AWAY FROM GOD!”

“BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IN US WHEN WE RECEIVE
HIS SON AS OUR SAVIOR, MOTIVATE US TO DO GOOD”

READ THE BIBLE!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"IN US OR ON THE CROSS"

What are you talking about?
About sin of course! Would you like to talk about it?
Or you better keep piling them up all the way to the moon and allow
all that weight crush you down?
Sooner or later we have to confront them! Right?
Then, why not do it now?
Wait! Wait a minute!
I confess my sins regularly to get rid of them!
Isn’t confessing them the right way to do it?
Depends!
Depends of what?
Depends to whom you are confessing them!
Do you confess them to God?
Well, God is in heaven and I am right here on earth, how am I
going to confess them to Him?
I’ll tell you how: God knows perfectly that we cannot reach Him
in heaven that is why He sent his only Son to earth so He could
reach us and give us the opportunity to obtain forgiveness from Him!
Jesus Christ is our connection with God! He is our Mediator!
“God is on one side and all the people in the other, and Jesus Christ
is in between to bring them together by giving his life for all!”
I Timothy 2 : 5.
Our sins can only be in two places: IN US OR ON THE CROSS!
And how could we nail our sins on the cross of Christ?
Just by believing that with his death and resurrection, He conquered
forgiveness of sins and eternal life for all of those who accept Him.
It is our job to decide ourselves to keep our sins in our heart,
or to get rid of them once and for all!
Jesus receives our sins from us when we receive Him!
When we accept Him, we make the connection! And by means of
that connection, our sins are nailed on the cross and we receive his
Holly Spirit in us to begin our new life!
Clean your heart from all sin!
Obtain God’s Grace from now to forever more,
accepting Jesus as your Lord!

BLESSED WILL BE FOREVER!

"I FORGOT ABOUT MY LORD"

Worried obtaining the everyday bread and the material things of the world …
I forgot about my Lord!

Things became dull!
My mind of sin is full!
My heart is harder
My mind uncertain, insecure!

My love decreases,
my hate goes up,
my bow keeps shutting,
but my arrow misses.

I forgot about the Lord!

My fear increases,
I don’t feel I‘m whole,
My faith is empty,
No peace in my soul!

I forgot about the Lord!

Do you feel sad?
Do you feel lonesome?
Get back to the Lord!
I thing will be awesome!

Please don’t close your arms,
If you still love me as before…
I‘ll promise…My Lord:
I won’t forget you no more!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"LET US PRAY"

Do you pray?
Who, me? No, I don’t pray at all!
Why?
Because I have two hands and a brain to think and work and of course,
to make the money to buy all the things I need!
That is why…I do not pray! I have what I want!
And besides…I don’t think that God is a magician who is going to bring
me what I want, just by saying the abracadabra words in a prayer!
I don’t need his help! I take care of myself! I don’t need to pray!
Do you agree with me?
Well, No! Not really!
First of all, you should pray for a little bit of humbleness!
Your pride is overflowing your heart!
I do agree with you that we have to do all efforts inside of us to obtain
what we want, like going to school to prepare ourselves and be qualified
for a good job and produce the means to buy what we want…But:
MONEY IS NOT ALL IN LIFE!
Money can’t buy true love, or health, or the Gifts of the Holy Spirit,
Money cannot buy the Salvation of your soul!
And in order to obtain it, we don’t need money, we need God!
Salvation is an impossibility for the people who sins, because the
penalty for sin is death, but God sacrificed his Son to forgive us,
when we get close to Him with prayers, and ask Him for his forgiveness.
He sends to us his Son Jesus, to save us!
Prayers are not suppose to be used to obtain the material things of the
world, but to obtain the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and one of the greatest
is: LOVE!
Prayers are to ask God to remove all that hate we have within us and
turn it into love for others! Prayers could be used to heal the sick people!
Have you asked God for that? No?
Then, what are you waiting for?
Prayers are very seldom used to thank God for what He already gave us,
Our life, our families, our health! But instead, we keep asking Him
for more material things! Listen:
“But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things
shall be added unto you.” Luke 12: 31.
Some day that your money cannot buy “things” like your happiness…
CRY AND PRAY! GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!
LET US PRAY … And VERY HUMBLY:

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE DEVIL'S BAIT"

Sin is the bait the devil puts on his hook to trap “Good” people.
From the bad ones he doesn’t have to worry, they are with him!
After he “fishes” them, he puts them in a basket and begins to count:
THE CATCH OF THE DAY!
One by one begins marking them all, putting a price tag for each head,
and chains them in dungeons without a hope of being released some day!
From now on he said you are my slaves! Slaves of SIN!
They must not be many, because if you said he put them in a basket…
and in a basket only fit few people!
No my friend, they are millions of millions!
Our souls are the captive ones without any chance of freedom!
Oh my God! That is terrible! Not any hope at all???
Well, there is one! Jesus!
Jesus comes and snatches them from his “basket”.
Does He steal them?
No! Not at all! He redeems them!
And that means He paid the high price tag for every one of us!
This price is so high that no one could pay it because it is not fixed in
good works, or money, gold, jewels or any other thing in the world!
Our price for the liberation of our souls is priced in blood!
In blood? You got to be kidding me!
No I am not! Our liberation is priced on the blood of the Son of God!
Before Jesus Christ came to this world, they were offering bulls to God
for the forgiveness of sin, but this blood did not save, so Jesus offered
Himself as a living sacrifice and offered his blood in the altar in heaven
after He was risen, obtaining the power to forgive sin, and to rescue us
from the prisons of the devil and give us our freedom! Hebrews 10 : 5.
But there is only one condition! TO BELIEVE IT!
WHEN WE BELIEVE, WE BECOME SAVED!
After we been saved, the devil puts on a silver plate for us, THE SIN
WE LIKE THE MOST trying to catch us back!
But Jesus reinforces us against sin when we are close to Him!
Is it sad to say that many people rescued from the devil’s paws,
decide to chained themselves back into the dungeons of sin!
Believing comes from the Word of God!
Let’s read the Bible!
Let’s get close to God!
Let’s be free accepting our Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior!
And then…

PRAISE THE LORD FOREVER!

"INHALING LOVE"

Breathing is the sign we are alive!
It forces the air into our lungs to supply the oxygen necessary
to maintain our blood in good shape and then our heart pumps it
throughout our veins all over our bodies to keep us healthy.
And of course: ALIVE.
When we breath we inhale air, but not all of us inhale love in it.
When we inhale LOVE, we produce CHARITY!
But when we inhale HATE, we produce PAIN to people!
Love and hate are in the air!
In our environment, but we could choose love rejecting hate,
or choose hate rejecting love.
Choosing love, rejecting hate, choosing hate rejecting love…
My friend: I think you are crazy!
No! No! Listen:
Crime and violence awake in us fear, despair, depression etc.
Oppose to that is Love, it wakes up in us the desire to help and
produces in our heart peace.
But, how could we “create” and environment of peace and love?
Good question!
Love and Peace are as close to you as your Bible!
Don’t you think is time to dust it out and begin reading it?
God is Love and the Bible is his Book!
When we begin reading it, we start knowing what love is all about!
We get closer to God!
We get closer to Love!
Love died on the cross to save us!
But it came back to life and will remain alive forever!
When we accept his sacrifice as a full payment for our sins…
We inhale his Love that will keep us alive forever!
Stop inhaling things that harm your body!
Inhale GOD’S LOVE, He will change your life for GOOD!

READ THE BIBLE!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"LET'S GO TO CHURCH"

On Sunday, we get together with all the Christians in the church,
and very excited of getting back, we begin greeting everybody,
Joyful to receive the Word of God, and the very wise counseling that
comes from our Pastor, Priest, or Preacher if you will.
The service ends, and as happy as we can be, we say good bye to all the
people we know, and then, we return home. Church day is over!
On Monday, we go back to work, say good morning to our co workers,
get a cup of coffee, and begin the routine of our daily job, wishing
perhaps, that our day of worshiping God, soon, returns!
Our church day!
There is nothing bad about going to church at all, that is the place in
which we pray, and receive The Good News of Christ.
We should not forget that we received the Spirit of God when we
accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, and that God’s Spirit in us,
is eager to proclaim the Good News of his Son through us.
Our co workers may or may not yet received Christ as their Savior,
giving us, the opportunity to talk about Christ without being afraid.
That is also our job, not just going to church and keep piling up
inside of us all this knowledge about our Lord, but to present Him
to people as the Savior of the world that He is!
Remember:
“Howbeit the most High dwells not in temples made by hands; as said
the prophet”…Acts 7 : 48.
He lives in the heart of people that receives his Son as their Savior!
We are the house of God and He lives in us! Hebrews 3 : 6.
That is why we should proclaim the Gospel of the Good News
of Christ for the salvation of man kind.
That’s our job as Christians!
Wonderful Job my friend!

"IN THE LINE OF FIRE"

Two armies were fighting, one fighting for Good, and the other, for Evil.
Bullets, arrows, spears, knives, and any other projectiles you can think of,
crossing to the Good side, this, wanted to help them, but their pride was
so big, that they refused to accept it! Between the two armies, it was
the battle field, also called: The line of fire! Some people, that did not want
to continue fighting for evil anymore, dragging themselves with the risk
of being wounded by their own people, managed to cross over through
the line of fire and reached the Good side.
Tired and exhausted, and unable to stand up, begged the soldiers
to be taken to their Leader whose name was Jesus.
What are you doing here? Jesus asked them, and they answered:
With all due respect General, we were fighting against you, when
some of your arrows of love trespassed our hearts, and we lost
all desire for sin, and now, we want to be at your service!
The empty lives we were living, were useless, we repented
from our sins, and now we want to put our lives at your feet!
We wanted to fight with your army! If you accept us….
We will always remain with you!
We understood that heaven or hell starts right here on earth,
and we wanted to begin a new life of love at your side.
Now we know we belong to you, and we are very happy!
Very well, said Jesus, you seem very sincere!
Jesus called his commander and told him:
Give every one of them their uniform and their sword of the Spirit which
Is the Word of God so they could be ready to fight for the Truth!
From now on, they will be on our side!
Yes, said the commander, I feel sorry for those that not having enough
courage and faith to crossover the line of fire they get stranded right
on the middle, and not knowing toward what side to go, they get lost!
Everyday, the line of fire gets narrower, so they could cross it easier!
As a matter of fact, already is close!
Jesus is knocking at your door!
The line of fire is your heart!
Just cross it saying:
Jesus: Here I am!
I surrender!
I want you to be my Lord!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"RESCUE ME"

I felt like I was hanging on a ledge, and grabbing with both hands with
all my strength to a branch of a death tree, ready to fall into the abyss.
My heart pounding as and old winding alarm clock, shaking my feet,
trying to find a resting place and unable to see anything at all because
of the deep darkness, repenting of my sins crying to God for help…
I said: Please God, come and rescue me!
A soft breeze cherished my face, I felt a deep peace inside my heart,
and forgetting all about myself, thinking in a new life if I could
get out of this, I began working in my mind how to help people!
I felt the presence of Christ, and I saw my life passing right through
my eyes as a movie picture!
I truly repented of my sins, and with tears in my eyes I said:
Forgive my Lord!
Come into my heart!
I was so exited that I forgot where I was, and with joy in my heart,
I jumped making the branch snapped and I fell…
I fell into the arms, of my Lord Jesus!
I opened my eyes, everything was so real!
My heart was beating very hard, with pain in my arms,
numbed hands and tears in my eyes,
I went on my knees, and praying to God…
I gave my heart to Jesus!
Then, I began to help people!
Thank you Lord for saving me!
You are my Lord and Savior!
I am yours!
You are mine!
Thanks to God…
I believe in Jesus!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHAT IS FAITH 2"

Faith is a gift from God to the human kind to help us to see what
Has not materialized yet, but by faith we consider it ours!
By faith we know we are going to go to heaven!
Doubt is the opposite of faith, and that was a present from evil!
Faith is positive! Doubt, negative!
Faith constructs! Doubt destroys!
If our faith is weak, our doubt is strong!
Strong faith, don’t doubt!
Let me ask you a question:
Do you think you are going to go to heaven?
Oh, I don’t know!
From one to one hundred, could you tell me the chances?
Probably ten percent!
Ten percent heaven means ninety percent hell! Do you know that?
Oh, my God! Is that so?
If it would be some way to increase your possibilities for heaven,
Would you do it?
Of course! What is that?
How long has past since you haven’t touched a Bible?
A whole lot! Why?
That explains your insecurity for heaven!
The Bible says: “Faith comes by hearing and hearing
by the Word of God!” Romans 10: 17.
In order to be saved, we have to accept Christ, and how are we
going to accept somebody we don’t know?
The new Testament are the good news of Jesus Christ who
came to this world sent by his Father to save it!
Removing all our sins, He will present us clean to his Father!
What does the Good News of Christ say?
It says: There is forgiveness of sin to all that repent and
accept Jesus Christ as their Savior!
If you deposit all your faith in Christ, and ask Him to save you…
YOU WILL BE SAVED!
And saved people are the ones that go to heaven!
Increasing your chances to one hundred percent!
We are not saved because we’re good, but because Christ!
God is in heaven!
The closer we are to God, the further away from evil!
READ THE BIBLE!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHAT IS FAITH?"

In order to comprehend what is faith,
First, we have to understand what love is!
Love is divine, invisible, we cannot see it, we cannot touch it…
We could only feel it! How ever this love we say we could feel,
it is materialized by Charity!
Charity is the manifestation of love!
“So God love the world that gave his only begotten Son for whosoever
Believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.
God not just said: I love the world, and crossed his arms doing nothing!
HE SENT HIS SON TO SAVE IT!
Jesus is God’s charity for the world!
Faith is also a feeling!
Like love, faith is invisible and abstract, but also could be materialized!
Love is an action! Faith is an action also!
What are you talking about?
Yes! Look: I am going to explain it to you! Jesus said:
“If you would have a faith as big as a mustard seed, you could tell that
mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove.
Nothing shall be impossible for you.” Mathew 17: 20.
A mustard seed is not abstract, it is an object we could touch it is solid.
We cannot say I love you without demonstrate it physically!
a hug, a kiss, a present, or all three.
Charity gives! Faith receives!
Great faith receives something that has not yet been manifested!
Faith is to believe you have received something that has not yet arrived!
Like what?
Like a pregnant woman! She knows she has it, even that she has
not receive it in her hands.
Faith is to believe! To believe God!
Charity is the fulfillment of love, faith is the fulfillment of charity!
Charity is received by faith, and if you are grateful, you thank God for it!
Have you accepted Christ’s present?
When somebody gives us a present, we smile, we receive it, open it up
and thank that person for it!
By faith we believe in Jesus Christ!
By faith we accept Him as our Lord!
Smile! Accept his present of salvation!
SALVATION IS CHRIST HIMSELF!
RECEIVE HIM IN YOUR HEART! And…

PRAISE THE LORD!

"ETERNITY"

What is Eternity?
Well, I think it is a place with never ending features.
In order to understand it, we have to, first of all, to know what is Space.
Space?
Yes! And also what is time.
Well I know that one! Time is a dimension! Right?
Yes! A Dimension! But, what a Dimension is?
You got me right there! What is it?
This is getting too complicated and I am not a scientist to understand it!
No! it is not that hard! Listen:
Dimension is a measurement of a determined space, and a space has three
dimensions: Length, width, and depth.
If you turn on a projector to a screen that is unfolded, you will see just an
horizontal line on top of the screen, this is the length, now, you pull the
screen down and you could see the full picture, this is the width, movies
have just two dimensions, length and width! Now they added another
one called dimension three, or third dimension. This is the depth!
This makes the figures of the movie to pop up from the screen!
Now there is another dimension, and it is called: TIME.
Time is a dimension, the fourth dimension!
Oh, this is very interesting, but what does it have to do with ETERNITY?
I‘ll tell you in a minute, but before, let me tell you that time affects only
the material things because the immaterial things are time less, age less!
Just imagine that we were watching when God created the Universe,
At the time of the great explosion they called the big bang, matter were
Blown out with a tremendous force at all directions, and then the galaxies
began to form, and continued expanding for billions of years.
Time is the space traveled by matter since the beginning of creation,
until the end of all things! Because everything that had a beginning…
has to have and end!
Does the Universe is really infinite?
That is the million dollar question my friend, but, if it’s not, things may
bounce back collapsing into each other in a chain reaction that will end
Into a single point and disappear getting ready to do all over again!
If God wants to! The end of the Universe will also be the end of Time.
Eternity, is a place without dimensions as we know them!
ETERNITY IS AN ETERNAL PLACE TO LIVE FOREVER!
WHEN WE SURRENDER OUR LIFES TO JESUS CHRIST!
ETERNITY IS GOD HIMSELF!

PRAISE THE LORD!
