Fish is the symbol of Christianity, Fish Soup for the Sinner is to increase our hunger for God, and when we eat the Bread of Life, opening our heart to his Son, His Holy Spirit shines with intensity in us to glorify our Almighty God forever!

"SALVATION IS A GIFT"
Salvation is for faith and not for works!
Abraham believed God, and that is why
God cancelled his sins, and declared him
Righteous, his faith was counted for Justice.
But, didn’t he earn his right to heaven
by all the good things he did?
No! For being saved is a gift;
if a person could earn it, wouldn’t be free
and free it is!
It is given to those who do not work for it
for God declares sinners to be good in His
sight if they have faith in Christ to save
them from God’s wrath.
King David, spoke of this, describing
the happiness of an undeserving sinner
who is declared “not guilty” by God.
“Blessed and to be envied” he said
are those whose sins are forgiven
and put out of sight.
Yes, what joy there is for anyone whose
sins are no longer counted against him
by the Lord.
Romans 4-4.
PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"A TURNING OF A HEART"
There is no forgiveness without repentance!
There is no true repentance without a turning of a heart!
For people, is very hard to forgive you!
Even if you repent!
With God, we receive forgiveness, at the very moment
we repent with a turning of a heart.
And also, at the very instant we accept Christ as our
Lord and Savior, we receive Salvation!
I don’t have to ask anybody if they have ever repented,
because, their answer will be yes!
But if I ask them:
Have you ever repented with a turning of your heart?
What do you think they are going to say?
I have no idea!
It’s very simple!
It is not just to open our mouths and say I repent!
We could fool anybody but ourselves, and God!
He turns our heart inside out so we could see how
filthy it is! And if we shrug our shoulders to Him…
He won’t be happy!
Listen:
If I say to you: Repent!
You probably will turn to me and laugh!
But when God makes you see all your sins….
You won’t shrug your shoulders at Him!
You shrug your heart and let every sin come out
by confessing them to Him!
a Turning of a heart, is moving it toward God!
Turn your heart to Jesus Christ…
You will be saved!
BLESS HIM,
HE LOVES YOU!

"FORGIVE ME BUT I CANNOT FORGIVE YOU"
"
Forgive me, but I cannot forgive you!
Why?
Because I am not God! Go with Him to forgive you!
Look my friend, we all can forgive, further more,
we must forgive, if we want to be forgiven!
Have you read the Bible?
No! I haven’t! Why?
But have you heard or prayed “The Lord’s prayer”?
Of course! It is my favorite prayer!
Then, remember the part that says: “And forgive our
trespasses as we forgive the ones who trespasses unto us!”
Every time that we pray this prayer, we are telling God
to forgive us the same way we forgive others, in other way,
if we refuse to forgive, we are not going to be forgiven!
Can you see that?
Every night before we go to bed, we should check all what
happen during the day, and forgive all those that in one
or another way, offended us, and then, ask God to forgive
our own sins, because sometimes, we offend people
without even realize it!
After that, we will be able to sleep peacefully, and in the
morning, we will begin a new day with a blank page,
instead of having one with spots all over with resentment,
sadness, and pain, instead of tranquility, peace and love.
I don’t know why but, for some people is very hard to
apologize when they do something wrong, because they
think it is a sign of weakness, and I believe it’s totally
the opposite, because the one who apologizes, shows
strength, and self- confidence, this is a lot better than
fail to recognize we were wrong!
And waiting for the others to say it was their fault,
the years go by so fast, that they get old, and die,
without ever having reached reconciliation with their
families or friends.
Father forgive us, and teach us to forgive and forget,
the way You do!
THANK YOU LORD!

"JESUS SAVE ME"
In order to be saved by Jesus,
first we have to have faith in Him.
And what is to have faith in Him?
To have truly faith in Jesus is to receive
Him in your heart and the proof that
you have done it, is in the way you
live your life.
When tired of so much sin,
we look for Him to change us!
To transform us, to begin loving
people instead of hating them
as we usually do!
Then, we need to put our faith in Him!
If you really believe He can save you…
If you really believe He died on the cross
to forgive your sins…
If you really believe He resurrected
at the third day to give you eternal life…
Fall on your knees, and:
Surrender your life to Him!
Heaven doors will be open for you!
PRAISE HIM! HE LOVES YOU!

"THE SUFFERING SERVANT"
The Lord says:
My servant will succeed!
He will be given great praise and the highest honors.
Many were horrified at what happen to him but everyone who saw
him was even more horrified because he suffered until he no longer
looked human.
My servant will make nations worthy to worship me, kings will be
silent, as they bow in wonder. They will see and think about things
they have never seen or thought before.
Has anyone believed us, or seen the mighty power of the Lord?
Like a young plant or a root that sprouts in dry ground, the servant
grew up obeying the Lord.
He wasn’t a handsome king. Nothing the way he looked was attractive
to us. He was hated and rejected; his life was filled with sorrow and
terrible suffering. No one wanted to look at him.
We despise him and said: He is a nobody!
He suffered and endured great pain for us, but we thought his
suffering was punishment from God.
He was wounded and crushed because of our sins; by taking our
punishment, he made us completely well.
All of us were like sheep that had wandered off. We had each gone
our own way but the Lord gave him the punishment we deserved.
He was painfully abused, but he did not complain.
He was silent like a lamb being led to the butcher, as quiet of a
sheep having its wool cut off.
He was condemn to death without a fair trial.
We could have imagined what would happen to him?
His life was taken away because of the sinful things my people
has done. He wasn’t dishonest or violent, but he was buried in
a tomb of cruel and rich people.
The Lord decided his servant would suffer as a sacrifice to take
away the sin and guilt of others.
Now the Servant will live to see his own descendants.
He did everything the Lord had planned. By suffering, the servant
will learn the true meaning of obeying the Lord.
Although he is innocent, he will take the punishment for the sins
of others, so that many of them, will no longer be guilty.
The Lord will reward him, with honor and power for sacrificing
his life.
Others thought he was a sinner, but he suffered for our sins,
and ask God to forgive us.
ISAIAH 53.

"LOVE YOUR ENEMY"
Moses Law says:
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say (Jesus)
That ye resist no evil: But whosoever shall smite thee on
the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away
thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with
him twain.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him, that would
borrow of thee, turn not thou away.
Ye have heard that it had been said, Thou shalth love
thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, love thy enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for
them which despitefully, use you and persecute you;
That may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven:
For He maketh his sun to rise on the evil, and on the
good, and sendeth the rain on the just and on the
unjust.
For if ye love them which love you,
what reward have ye?
do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father which is
in heaven is Perfect.
Mathew 5-38.
PRAISE HIM
HE LOVES YOU!

"RENDER TO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESAR'S"
“They asked Jesus if it was right to pay the government for
the taxes, and He told them to show Him a coin, He said:
whom is this image? It is Caesar’s they answered Him
and He replied: Then give Caesar what is Caesar’s and God
what is God’s.” Mark 12-13.
To do Justice is to give everyone the payment for their
actions, good to good and bad to bad!
Injustice is to do the opposite!
God is good!
All good and Just, belongs to Him!
To discern between good and evil is to take what is good
and save it, and discard what is evil.
True Christians love good and hate evil!
They love their new life loving God and people.
Get rid of their old life of sin, and begins their new one
loving God and people.
Now, away from sin, serve God and people with all
their hearts full of love, to surrender it complete to God,
the only True living God whom filled it up with his love
until it overflowed not living a single place empty so hate
and sin cannot enter. To be able to live in peace close to
the one who forgave us, saved us and redeemed us!
Promising us to come back to judge the world, and
with it everyone who refused to believe and accept
the Almighty God’s Son who was sent…
to save us.
COME LORD JESUS
COME TO SAVE US!

"THE SERMON OF THE MOUNT"
And seen the multitude, Jesus, went up to the mountain hill,
his disciples joined Him and He sat down and began to say:
Blessed are the poor of spirit; for theirs are the kingdom
of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
Righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called
the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’
sake: for theirs are the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute
you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely,
for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward
in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were
before you.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savour:
wherewith shall it be salted?
It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be
trodden under foot of men.
Mathew 5-1 to 13.
Two thousand years ago, people gathered around Jesus
to listen his beautiful sermons.
Aren’t you glad, they’re still around?
Keep reading them! Jesus is not dead, He is watching you
enjoying his sermons! They’re very interesting!
Don’t you think so?
PRAISE THE LORD!
HE LOVES YOU!

"FAITH WITHOUT DOUBTS"
And the morrow when they were come
from Bethany Jesus was hungry:
And seen a fig tree afar off having leaves,
he came, if haply he might find anything
there on: and when he came to it,
he found nothing but leaves;
for the time of figs was not yet.
Mark 11-12.
And in the morning, as they pass by,
they saw the fig tree dried up
from the roots.
And Peter calling to remembrance
said unto him,
Master, behold, the fig tree that thou
cursedst is wither away.
And Jesus answering said unto them,
Have faith in God.
for verily I say unto you, that
whosoever shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast unto
the sea;
and shall not doubt in is heart,
but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass;
he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you,
what things soever you desire,
when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them
and ye shall have them.
Mark 12-20.
Pure faith has no doubts
Pure doubts has no faith
Remove your doubts from your faith
until it gets pure. And then…
Cast the mountain into the sea!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE LOTTERY"
How would you like to win a prize in the lottery of many millions,
and keep them all for yourself, without giving a penny to anyone?
I think it would be a sin!
Yes! I agree with you! However, think a little:
The eternal life we received when we accepted Jesus Christ as our
Lord and Savior, is more valuable than all the money in the world,
and not sharing Him, is without a doubt a sin, because we could
help others to get closer to Jesus and be saved thanks to his mercy.
True love is not just giving a little of what we got, to others,
materially speaking, but spiritually, sharing the Gifts God has given
us help people, to get closer to Him.
Forgive me for being so rude, but, I think when a person does not
want to share with others Christ, it’s because they don’t have Him!
Because the Spirit of God we have inside of us, is very pleased
listening us to talk about his Son.
True Love is not just praying for others, but to teach them to love
God! And people.
That way they could save their souls that worth more than all the
material things we could get on this planet.
God save us for free!
Why?
Because his Son with his blood, paid in full for everything!
And if you are enjoying the happiness that bring us to accept
Christ in our lives, your joy will be greater yet, if with your
help others accept Him as their Lord and Savior.
If you think you don’t have Him yet…
Read this:
“For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ
is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God has raised
Him from the death, you will be saved. By believing in our hearts
we become right with God; and when we tell others about our
Faith we confirm our salvation.” Romans 10- 9.
Ask Christ to save you! And:
Praise the Lord!

"TURN YOUR LIGHT"
“You Are the world’s light, a city on a hill , glowing on the night
for all to see. Don’t hide your light; let it shine for all; let your
good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your
heavenly Father. Mathew” 5-14.
A Priest giving his sermon said: Jesus wants that we be the light
Of the world in the mean time He comes back!
What kind of light would you like to be?
A flash light? A torch? Or maybe one of those novelty lights of
a million candles of power?
The whole church said they wanted to be the most powerful one!
Remember continue saying the Pastor, that the bigger that is, the
more energy it consumes and this energy we obtain it by reading
the Bible! Do you still want the biggest one?
If the lamp is the battery kind, and you do not use it, begins to
degenerate and loses its power, loses its charge and die.
A lot of people, love to read God’s Word, but do not like to
share with others what they learned, they said that it cost them
their effort and it is the responsibility of every one if they wish
to be saved!
The Spirit of God in us, is eager to share with others the Good
News of Salvation through his Son Jesus Christ. And His Holy
Spirit, is our Teacher when we begin to read his Book.
We don’t need to posses the strongest or the most sophisticated
light to tell others about Christ.
What we do need is to know God by reading his Holy Book.
God’s Light shines in us when we begin knowing Him!
Let your Light shine telling others about Christ’s Salvation!
Illuminate the paths of others so they can see God’s light,
and all the sin in which they are submerged!
Come out, and begin walking in the straight Paths of God!
Come on… Where is your Light?
Don’t hide it!
Let it shine!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"GOD PROTECTS US"
He that dweleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
My God; in Him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings
shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thu shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for
the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward
of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,
even the most High, thy habitation ;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague
come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee
in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, least thou thy foot
against a stone .
thou shall tread upon the lion and adder : the young lion
and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore, will I
deliver him: I will set him on high because he hath
known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be
with him in trouble ; I will deliver him, and honor him.
with long life will I satisfy him and shew him
my salvation.
Psalm 91.
IT IS WORTH TO PRAISE THE LORD.

"VIRGIN MARY"
In the life of Jesus, was a godly lady, humble, pure, virgin, respectful
righteous, with fear of God, her name: MARY.
Good reasons to be chosen by God to be the mother of his Son.
Mary while she still was a virgin, conceived from the Holy Spirit
the Son of the Living God.
The Virgin Mary, was the means for God to come down from heaven
and become a human being to feel in his own flesh what we humans,
suffer in this world we are living in.
God cannot die, He has life in Himself, and in order to be able to do it,
The Word, (Christ) became flesh. To offer his life in a living sacrifice to
his Father for the forgiveness of sin of all of those who believe in Him.
And after He was risen from the death at the third day, He proved to be
The Holy Son of the Almighty God. Conquering eternal life to give to
all of us who believe in his resurrection.
One day, Gabriel the angel, appeared to Mary and said to her:
Blessed you are among women,
God has chosen you to bless you wonderfully!
The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest
over shadow thee, therefore, that holy boy, which shall be born of
thee, shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1-35.
Mary is the Mother of the Savior of the world : Jesus the Christ.
“For unto us a child is born unto us a Son is given: And the Gover-
ment shall be upon his shoulders: And his name shall be called:
Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father,
The Prince of peace.” Isaiah 9-5.
Hail thou that art highly favored,
The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women.
Blessed art the fruit of your womb: Jesus the Christ.
PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"TIRED AND AFFLICTED?"
And Jesus prayed this prayer:
O, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hidden the truth
from those who think they are so wise and reveal it to little children!
Yes Father, for it pleased you to do it this way.
All truth has been entrusted to me by my Father.
Only the Father knows the Son, and the Father is known only by the
Son, and by those to whom the Son wants to reveal Him.
Come to me and I will give you rest all of you who work so hard
beneath a heavy yoke.
Wear my yoke and learn from me that I am gentle and humble
And you will find rest for your souls. For I give you only
light burdens.
Mathew 11-25.
With respect of the prayers:
Ask and you will be given what you ask for.
Seek and you will find knock and will be open.
For everyone who asks, receives.
Anyone who seeks finds.
And if you will knock, the door will be open.
Mathew 7-7.
If a child asks his father for a piece of bread,
will he be given a stone?
If he asks for a fish will he be given a snake?
If he asks for an egg, would he be given a scorpion?
Of course not!
And if sinful persons like yourselves give their children
what they need, don’t you think that your heavenly
Father will give you the Holy Spirit if you ask for Him?
Luke 11-11.
PRAISE HIM

"WHY SO WORRIED?"
If by worrying we could
be able to solve everything?
Then, worry all you want!
But it’s not like that!
Instead of worrying: PRAY.
Ask God with faith!
He will maintain our ship
Level, so it won’t sink!
Never get tired of praying!
Pray for all people!
Pray for the sick
Pray for the orphans.
Pray for those who are
far away from God
so they could come back
and be saved.
Don’t stop!
God is with you!
He is going t help you!
He is our friend!
Jesus said:
Ask and you shall receive,
Search and you will find,
Knock and will be open.
Everyone who asks receives
Anyone who seeks finds
And the door will be open
For everyone who knocks.

"BARRIERS"
God made the world without barriers or frontiers of any kind,
men are the ones who have been erecting them to separate
themselves from others!
Jesus came to this world to save us all, not just some of this
or “the other religion”, but to all of those who believe in his
message of Salvation.
And…What is that message?
His message is that He died to pay our debt with God in full!
And that He resurrected at the third day to give us Life Eternal.
As you can see, God does not save us for reading the Bible,
He does not save us for going to church, or for paying the ties,
or to give charities ….etc, etc.
If we do these things, we receive our blessings!
That’s for sure, but, Salvation is not based on these things,
it is based on the Sacrifice, death and resurrection of God’s
Holy Son He sent to the world to save it!
Anyone who believes, this message, is our brother or sister!
Not because they belong to the same religion or denomina-
tion of ours, but because they believe deep in their hearts,
that the work of God trough his Son Jesus Christ, its true!
So, our brothers in Christ are those I repeat, who believe
God’s message of Salvation! In Romans 1-16 Paul said:
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is
the power of God for salvation to everyone that believes!”
Remove those barriers in front of you, that won’t let you
see your brothers…
Your brothers in Christ!
The greatest barrier between God and men is SIN!
And Christ came to tear it down!
Are you ready?
PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"EMERGENCY CALL"
We have a number to call in case of an emergency,
That number is 911.
We use it when we need help!
Our prayers are our 911 to call God in an emergency.
But why do we wait until the last minute to do it?
If our prayers were made without any emergency,
I think God would take them as Greetings or
Presents, but…
Emergency or not, He will be very happy to
receive them.
Prayers are like compasses that point to God, and
at its return, He send us a Light that points to
His Son Jesus!
Our prayers are the medicine cabinet to cure our
Illnesses, however…
Christ is the Doctor that prescribes them!
Our prayers are our bail bond to get out from the
Jail of sin, we cannot exit.
However, Jesus is the Lawyer that fights for us
to give us Liberty.
Prayers are our emergency call to God when we
are tired to live in bondage,
However, Christ is the one who paid with his life
to get us free.
Our prayers are our thanks to God to keep us alive,
However…
Christ is the One, who prepares us to live with Him!
You may not have 911 service in your telephone,
to call for help when you need it…
However, anywhere in the world you will be,
God can help you!
When you need Him , just pray a big little prayer:
OUR FATHER WHICH ARE IN HEAVEN….
Mathew 6-9
PRAISE THE LORD!

DO YOU LOVE GOD?
Of course I do!
Then, tell me: What do you do to please Him?
I don’t know! Nothing I guess, why?
Because if we love somebody, we have to do something
to show how big is that love we say we feel for Him!
It is not just to say: I love you, and that’s it! Listen:
Why is it so hard for us to fall on our knees to thank God
for all the nice things He gives us everyday?
We go to church just as we would be making Him a favor?
He doesn’t need anything from us, we are the ones who need
from Him everything!
We suffer so much the adversities of this world every single
day of our lives: Insults, gossips, anger, bad faces, and more,
but let me tell you something: if at the end of the day we would
pray and ask Him for his help, we would receive more blessings!
Just thinking that we are self sufficient won’t solve anything!
Besides, He is always ready to help us! Why don’t you try?
He remembers us when we remember Him!
Jesus said: he who obeys me is because he loves me!
Then, love is obedience to God!
He asks us to love his Son, and Jesus his Son to love people!
Although, loving people is not that easy, we have to have the
Spirit of God inside of us to be able to do it, and Christ will
put Him inside of us when we accept Him as our Lord!
To love people is to share God’s love with them!
To love people is to forgive them, is to help them to reach
God’s promises to take us to heaven to enjoy eternal life!
To love people is to love God!
DO YOU LOVE GOD?

"THE GOOD NEWS"
The Good News of Jesus Christ,
Are not stagnated waters in a Church,
but flowing rivers of living waters from
the mountain of God, to calm the thirst,
of the believers, whom guided by the
Holy Spirit of God, they take them to
the unbelievers, to know God, and trans-
form their lives of sin into a gifted one
to love and serve, God and people.
It is a spiritual message that brings
Eternal Life to all those that believe
He died to forgive our sins, and
Resurrected at the third day to take us
with Him for an everlasting life.
PRAISE HIM…
HE LOVES YOU!

"RISE UP"
“Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before fall”
Proverbs 16-18.
We are proud to be called Christians, we feel separated from the
World, we feel sanctified for God and we think that we have to
keep ourselves away as far as we possible can from the ones that
for one or for other reason, they walked away from the church
and returned to sin, we called them: “The fallen ones”
How could they do that? We say, I don’t understand!
They are not like us! They are dammed, they are lost!
Does God forget the fallen ones? Of course not! Listen:
If a man lost one of his sheep, doesn’t he leave the ninety nine
in the sheep pen and goes to find the lost one? Mathew 18-12.
“I will seek that which was lost and bring again that it was
driven away and will bind up that which was broken, and will
strengthen that which was sick” Ezekiel 34-16.
Jesus raises the fallen ones!
Jesus asked a crippled man: Do you want to be whole?
Sir, the man answered, when the water is ready to heal, I can’t
find anybody to put me into the water. And Jesus said to him:
Rise, pick up your mat and walk!
The man was immediately made whole. John 5-2 to 8.
The prodigal son was forgiven after all he did!
God is our Father and the prodigal sons are us!
“Wherefore, lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble
knees, and make straight paths for your feet, lest that what is
lame be turn out of the way, but let it rather be healed.”
Hebrews 12-12.
“More Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner than repented more
than over ninety and nine that need no repentance. Luke 15- 7
Rise, and follow Jesus!
Walk in the paths of righteousness!
Walk in the paths of God!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"WINGS"
Buffalo wings are very tasty, but, they are not the kind of wings
I want to talk about; I am referring to the wings that make us fly!
Why do chickens have wings that cannot help them to fly?
Or “wings” that ends in a hand like ours, but cannot lift us up
from the ground a single inch?
Hey! I am a busy man and I cannot stay here all day reading
all your nonsense! What are you trying to say?
I am sorry! I am sorry, I didn’t think that an intellectual person
like you, could waste it’s time in this, but I thank you anyway
for passing by! … But….
If you haven’t close the page yet… listen:
Our arms are like the set of wings the chickens have, but they
use them to protect their chicks from bad weather or from the
perils of predators, contrary to us, that we use them to hold a
weapon to hurt our own kind. Then, repentance comes, and ….
We rise our hands to heaven trying to reach God, when we are
tired of sinning, but we can’t, because they’re way too short!
God sent his Son to knock to our heart to reach us, but…
We refuse to open!
FAITH, are the wings we put on something or somebody to lift
us up along with them , but we have the uncertainty where they
are taking us! We put our fate in their hands!
FAITH, are the wings of our spirit to reach incredible heights!
Our FAITH in God is our CONFIDENCE!
On whom is your FAITH leaning on?
LISTEN:
Jesus is knocking at your heart!
He will lift you up all the way to heaven!
If you are willing to go there, of course!
Don’t be afraid!
Be courageous and meet Him face to face! Let Him in!
He loves you!
Put your trust in Him!
You will live forever!
THANK YOU JESUS!

"ON A CROSS"
With his arms wide open, hanging on a cross,
With his hands and feet pierced with nails,
And a crown of thorns on his bleeding head,
Jesus Christ died to conquer for us, Salvation!
Tears of blood were rolling on his cheeks,
His eyes developed anguish and despair,
His countenance revealed the agony of his soul,
And from his throat came out a desperate shout:
Father forgive them,
Because they don’t know what they’re doing,
Into your hands I commend my Spirit He said,
In his last breath and prayer!
Later, He came back to life,
He woke up into his resurrection,
At the right hand of God now He seats,
And from there we receive his protection!
Believe! Believe in Him!
In his life, in his death, and in his resurrection!
Guide my steps Lord, to follow you!
Give me the strength I need to obey your call,
Shine on my path, so I would not be in darkness,
And into bad ways I could fall!
The world my Lord goes so fast,
That in its travel wants to run me over
But with you near me I fear no evil,
And very happy I know I’m safe!
Give us Lord your Holy Spirit to teach us,
and from Him His holy gifts receive,
And when everything in this life comes to an end,
In your home in heaven, with magnificent view,
Thanks to your Love and Grace.. .. ..
We will live with You!
Thank You Jesus!

"BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN"
Changing the television trying to get something interesting,
I began to watch a movie about a little town in a remote place
ln India, in which an American missioner had awaken in the
native the faith and love for Jesus Christ.
But for religious and political reasons, he had to abandon the
Country, and the people very sad, began waiting for his return.
A boy from the tribe of that place, grew up with the desire to
know more about God and give to his people that did not know
how to read, because their language had no letters or symbols.
With a lot of problems the kid went to live in a foreign country
in which he learned other languages and began to choose
the letters with he would translate God’s Bible for his people.
After school, he was working washing dishes in a restaurant
and after, he was using his free time to continue his translation.
After a few years, he finishes it, had it print, and sent the bibles
to his town when they immediately began to teach the people:
The Word of God.
Wait, wait, stop! Do not continue!
Tell me: Why are you telling us that story?
Well, it is because it made me very happy to see somebody
very interested in the spiritual health of his people, and on
the other hand, it made me feel a great sadness for all,
because in our home town, we just have to stretch our hands
a little, and we could get a Bible to read.
But unfortunately, it seems that people is not interested
anymore in knowing a little bit more our Creator!
C’mon, don’t think about it!
Just stretch your hand and grab it!
Open it…..and start reading….
In the beginning…..God created heaven and Earth…..
PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!
