"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!
