"OUR FATHER 2"

“Jesus is Lord”
Have you ever read or pray psalm 23, The Lord is my Shepherd?
It goes like this: The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want…
Wait, How come we can say The Lord is MY Shepherd in the psalms
but we cannot say MY FATHER in the Lord’s prayer?
Could it be because the Apostles prayed in group?
I don’t think so, because even when they were alone, they had to say:
OUR FATHER.
Why is that?
Simply because the Shepherd in Psalm twenty three, believe it or not,
Is Jesus and we have to recognize Him as our Shepherd, so we could
say along with Him: OUR FATHER!
I don’t understand it! Could you explain it to me better?
Yes! Look:
“God sent fort his Son, made of a woman, made under the Law,
to redeem them that were under the Law ,that we may receive
the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”
OUR FATHER! Galatians 4- 4
Jesus said: “Nobody can go to the Father if is not through me”
If we say MI FATHER as Jesus say, we not necessarily are indicating
that we have accepted Him as our Lord! But if we recognize Him
as Lord of us, He will live in us and together we can say:
OUR FATHER! Do you understand?
Do you mean Jesus and I will say together Our Father?
Wow! Now, you understood!
Are you also saying that King David was praying to Jesus Christ
when he wrote Psalm twenty three?
Well, although, the book of psalms were written long time before
Jesus were born, if we consider that the Almighty God of heavens
came to earth to give his life for his sheep…
Of course! HE IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD! JESUS IS LORD!
And when we accept Him as our Lord, we never will alone any more,
Because He always will be with us, and together, on a daily basis
happy or in time of trouble, we could fall on our knees and say:
“OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN
BLESSED BE THY NAME”… Mathew 6-9.
Christ in us, we in Christ, a perfect communion!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"OUR FATHER"

“The blessing pill”
We take a pill to sleep, a pill to wake up, one for our stress, another, for
our head aches, for our muscular pain and maybe, one for our brain,
but we always forget to take the best of them all: our “Blessings pill”
Blessings pill???
What is that?
Let me ask you a question: When was the last time since your last prayer?
Oh yea, I know where you’re going, but I was so busy that…
You didn’t answer my question!
Do you remember when, was the last time you prayed?
No! I don’t, it’s been such a long time, that I forgot how to do it!
Don’t worry! We could start today!
The Apostles asked Jesus: Lord, teach us how to pray!
See? Even them did not know how to do it!
Jesus said to them: when you pray do it like this:
“Our Father which art in heaven, hallow be thy name….
Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.” Mathew 6- 9.
This is an invitation to God to come to us, to forgive us, to help us,
to uphold us, to bless us, to keep us out of trouble, to feed us,
to teach us, to give us his love! Just by recognize him as our Father!
And being a son, give us the right to be co heirs of his Glory,
Thanks to his Son who died on the cross for us! Thank you Lord!
That is the “pill” we should never forget to take every day!
Easy to swallow, begins releasing its blessings all day in us,
bringing calm, peace, and love to our hearts!
Can you ask for more?.... Oh yes! PRAISE THE LORD!

One day you may not need so many pills!
C’mon, Lets pray together:
OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN……..
God bless you all!

"HAPPY MOTHERS DAY"

Mom asked to her little daughter:
Honey, do you love me?
Sure Mom I do!
How much do you love me?
The little girl opening her arms as wide as she could,
with a big smile on her face, she said:
This much Mom!
And she received a big kiss.
Mom said little Jimmy,
I love you from here to the moon and back!
Very good Jimmy she said and stamped a big kiss
on his face.
And you Robert?
She asked to her bigger son and he said:
Mom:
You know I love you and I will love you forever!
Mom got surprised for that unexpected answer,
and embracing them all three of them, with tears
on her eyes she began to say:
Dear Lord Thank you!
I will never thank you enough for these lovely kids
You gave me!
And all them shouted at the same time:

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"BORN AGAIN 2"

Wouldn’t be nice to have an opportunity to begin a new life
from scratch, but without having to start school at kinder garden?
To begin a new life with the list of our sins that God has on his
desk, all blotted out? Complete erased and trashed canned?
Obtaining from Him a new book to begin writing our new life,
away from the errors we commit before until the present day?
Oh wow? Is that possible?
God says it is! Look: In Hebrews 10-17 God says:
“And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more!”
How could we get rid of our sins?
I’ll tell you:
There is a big difference in going to confess your sins just to feel
clean and repeat them again the next day!
Why did you repent if you were planning to do them over again?
To be born again is to have the desire to accept God’s help to cure
us from the bad influence sin has over us!
And this happens when we are tired to live a life full of fear, hate,
worries, anxieties, after we broke the Commandments of God.
Our new life starts with the sincere desire to walk on the righteous
paths of God, and ends in an eternal life granted to us after our
acceptance of the help He gives us through His Son Jesus who
sent to the world to die on the cross to pay for our sins.
He has the Power to forgive us!
He has the Power to put His Spirit within us through which our
new life is possible!
Your new life is waiting for you! Are you ready?
Or you want to continue faking that you are truly repented while
continue living is sin?
Our new life as a born again believer in Jesus, breaks all barriers
of death and put us in heaven the resting place of God!
We have to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior!
But don’t do it now!
Do it when you are absolutely convinced that He died
to save you, and resurrected to give you a new life forever!
But, how am I going to be convinced of that?
Read the Bible! And…

PRAISE THE LORD!

"BORN AGAIN"

Life span is a space of time between the instant we were born,
to the moment we stop breathing.
Life is a gift from God that we receive thru our mothers, to enjoy it
in this amazing blue planet called Earth.
We could use our life to help, or we could use it to hurt!
It is entirely up to us!
When our time span reaches its end, our body goes to the ground,
our spirit goes back to God who lend it, and our soul, free from
the body, face judgment with God for all the wrong things we did,
when we were inside that body we use to call : ME.
It’s that it?
No! Not yet!
Later in life we find out that we were not making the right choices,
and now we don’t know what to do!
God: Could you help me?
Christ came to this world to give us the opportunity to change our
choosing ways! Without Him, there is nothing good we can choose!
Facing God without Jesus, will be our eternal doom!
Condemnation for our sins, but, Christ by means of his sacrifice on
the cross, was able to pay for our sins, and even before we die,
He will make us to be born again!
That means that instead of God punishing us for our sins committed
in our flesh, we will be forgiven and pass directly to life, instead of
passing from life to eternal dead, we will pass from life to eternal life!
Without Christ our souls will have a hard time to find a place to rest.
But thanks to his sacrifice and resurrection, we will have life forever!
Eternal life with Him!
Life in the world as we know it… It is only a test! A test we all fail!
But thanks to the Almighty God that sent his beloved Son to help us:
We will emerge Victorious!
The life we receive from our mothers it’s rather short! Very short!
But the life we receive from the Holy Spirit when we accept Christ
as our Lord and Savior… It is forever!
If you think that life “sucks”
You don’t need to get rid of it, what you need is:
TO BE BORN AGAIN!
Death is for nonbelievers! Wake up to a new life!
Accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior is to be born again!
Do it! And tell everybody, to…
PRAISE THE LORD!
