"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!
