"THAT POOR HEART"

We always need to clean our rooms, because the dust in the air
little by little settles down everywhere and it doesn’t look good.
Our heart also gets dirty, and we must clean it, because with so
much dirt, we don’t feel good. An in order to do a good job,
we have to take everything out, and after its clean, we can
put everything back in place.
Tell me: What is your heart filled with?
That poor heart of ours, it’s so small, but in the inside, has lots
of room to store things, but now, it is completely full!
Well, I guess it’s time to clean it!
We begin throwing out the things we don’t use, we keep the
ones we will use, but our sins, we could not take them out!
Our sins grew roots that are imbedded in the floor of our heart,
and, no matter how hard we try… We can’t move them away!
Now, we find ourselves alone with our sins, and remembering
them and repenting at the same time, we begin to cry!
My God, my God we say, Can you help me?
And when Jesus enters the room, enlightens all the place, and
with a smile on his face, He removes our sins, and dumps them
into the bottom of the sea, to make us free!
Now that your heart is clean…Keep it clean!
If your sins have left you… Don’t call them again!
Listen: Only Jesus can remove our sins, no saints or virgins can,
because with his death on the cross, cover our sins with his
blood, and with his resurrection He gives us life eternal.
Wipe off your tears, smile, you don’t need to cry no more,
your heart is clean, and inside has lots of room.
Now tell me: What are you going to fill it with?
Invite Jesus to live in it!
Love will shine inside of you!
You will sincerely love people!
And loving people, you cannot sin!

CHRIST IS ALIVE!
PRAISE HIM, HE LOVES YOU!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"THE PURPOSE OF MAN"

The purpose of man in the world, is to love God, obey God,
serve God, and then, go to rest in peace waiting for the
return of Jesus Christ to rise the death for an eternal life
with Him in heaven!
However, instead of loving God, we love the material things
of this world, obey the pleasures of the flesh, and serve the
enemy of God: SIN.
Then, what our hope will be?
Our Hope is Jesus Christ, because we are sinners, and cannot
reach with our own efforts the “pass” to enter God’s glory.
God saw this impossibility, and sent his only Son to the
world, to save it, because for ourselves, there is nothing
we can do to earn our own salvation, because salvation
is not earned, it is accepted from Jesus the Christ who
conquered it by dying on the cross for us.
None of us is good enough to enter heaven!
The only way to enter, would be to have somebody
to pay in full for all our sins, but nobody can do it!
Wait a minute! There is One!
Jesus Christ whom with his precious blood poured on
the cross, blotted out the sins of all who believe in Him!
This is Grace!
In Jesus we have the opportunity we’re looking for!
Our sins can only be in two places: In us, or in Christ!
Where are yours?
Repentance makes us look toward the cross of Christ
to ask Him with all our heart, for his forgiveness!
And if we, bending our knees acknowledge Him
as our Lord and Savior…We will be forgiven!
Born again in a new creature to serve God!

“There is no other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved”. Acts 4-12.
What is your purpose in this life?
PRAISE THE LORD!

"PETER DO YOU LOVE ME?"

True Christendom is Love and Mercy in action!
It is to proclaim the good News of Christ.
So whoever believe… could obtain their liberty,
abandon master sin, and embrace the new One: Love,
so we can replace our hate for love.
Jesus cut the chains that unite us to sin,
and invite us in the noble task to tell others that:
God’s Salvation is at our reach.
But how are they going to desire to be saved if they
don’t even know what Salvation is?
How are they going to know that Christ has the power
to snatch us from the paws of evil to start a new life?
But if we are satisfied by been saved just ourselves,
who are going to tell others about Christ?
Listen: Jesus said:
Peter do you love me?
Yes Sir, Peter answered you know I love you!
Then, feed my lambs.
Simon son of Jonas, do you love me?
Yes Lord, Peter repeated, you know I love you!
Feed my sheep. John 21-15.
We are Peter if sometime we have denied Christ!
Peter was very sad when listened, the cock’s crow
when he denied the Lord.
However after he repented was forgiven, and as a
present, received a new day to rejoice in it.
It is nice to wake up when we have Christ in our
hearts and the desire to share him with others.
Christ loves you! He is coming back for his people,
and to judge those who rejected Him as their Savior!
When you hear his voice…don’t harden your heart…
Open it up and invite Him to enter.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"A GOLDEN HEART"

Would you like to have a golden heart?
Yes! Of course!
Can you imagine ? Gold is very expensive!
Well, don’t be so happy, Listen:
When we talk about somebody that has a golden heart,
we usually mean that is a noble person, charitable, full of piety
and love… But now days, I think that kind of persons are rare.
Listen to this:
“And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new
spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their
flesh, and I will give them a heart of flesh:
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances
and do them. and they will be my people, and I will be their God.”
Ezekiel 11-19
Did you hear?
A new heart and a new spirit so we can obey Him!
If our heart of stone is hard enough, how about a metal one?
Senseless, cruel, far away from God, and the gold one, besides
all that, egoist, arrogant, and prideful, thinking only in money,
without caring at all about anybody else. The new heart, will
feel the pain of people, and will have compassion for them,
the new spirit is God’s Spirit full of love to share with everybody.
How I would like they would make caskets with holes at the
sides to take the hands out of them!
To take the hands out? Why?
So people can be perfectly sure that when we leave this world,
we leave it empty handed! We take nothing along with us!
That’s why we shouldn’t worry to build a fortune, but be worry
to get from God, the new heart and the new Spirit to truly love!
Remember:
The love of money is the root of evil. I Timothy 6-10.
Love God, not money!

LOVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART!

"HAPPINESS"

Happiness, what is it?
Is the vehicle to transport us to “heaven”, and from there,
we could see all the sadness that overflows the world, whom
trying to find it the fastest and easiest way, falls into the most
common vices, putting their souls in the peril of being lost!
True happiness is in God!
The “deceiver” Offers us an incredible trip to the heights into
a fragile bubble which he makes to explode when we are at the
highest point making us fall without stops at a great speed to
the lowest point on earth: Hell!
In contrast, God offers us an incredible trip to heaven, when
with faith, we read his amazing book called The Bible
A Book to learn how Great is our Lord!
Tremendous, isn’t it?
Why? Because God is real!
In his Book we will find: True happiness, and of course, Love,
when we learn how Great He really is!.
We need to know that heaven is not false, but a real place!
And is within our reach when we follow Christ, He will lead
us to an everlasting life when we believe.
Jesus is the Son of God, sent to rescue us from eternal doom
to eternal happiness in paradise with Him!
Wonderful!
We only have two options:
To continue living in a false “heaven” full of problems, or
in the real one made by Love, Truth and Life.
Not like the unreal one we made by denying God’s existence,
hating and hurting people.
Why do people continue doing it?
Because we have never learned to fall on our knees to praise
the Unique Being that can save us!
God?
Yes! We will know what happiness is all about, when we
open our arms and place our hearts on his Son!

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"FREQUENCIES"

Have you tried to listen F.M. with an A. M. radio?
No! You can’t do that! Why?
Because they are two complete different radio frequencies,
one is high frequency and the other is low, it could only be
done, if the radio is equipped with a switch to change it.
Who cares, I prefer watching television!
All right, but listen:
Have you ever seen two people having a conversation?
Have you seen one person talking and the other yawning?
This is because they are not in the same frequency!
Why God talks and we don’t listen? Why we talk and God
don’t want to listen to us?
Of course! Because we are not in the same frequency!
God is Saint, and we are sinners!
What a different frequencies!
He is completely separated from sin, we are completely
separated from Him! However:
He loves us so much, that He wants us to be, the way He is!
“Be saints because I am Saint” Says the Lord. I Peter 1-16.
And how could we be able to achieve this? Listen:
“For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all…”
I Timothy 2-5.
“I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance”
Mark 2-17.
Jesus is in the same frequency of us sinners!
Ready to forgive us when we ask Him! When we recognize
Him as our Savior, He forgives our sins, and by means of
our faith, declares us Innocents of having offended God with
all our sins, furthermore, He puts his Holy Spirit in us to keep
us away from sin, and close to God in a perfect communion .
“And if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, is not his.”
Romans 8-9.
But if you want to be His: Open up your heart and let Him in!
“We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus
Christ once for all” Hebrews 10-10.

PRAISE HIM, HE LOVES YOU!

"THE POTTER"

Before anything existed, was God, He always existed and will
exist forever.
He created man at his own image and likeness: Genesis 1-26.
God always demanded obedience from us, and in turn, He takes
care of us when we are faithful, He is aware of all our needs.
Sadly to say, we only get close to God when we want Him
to solve our problems. He is our Creator, and He has the right
to do with us what He pleases.
Like the potter!
If a potter is making a vessel, a vase or a pot, but when he is
turning the table, sees that the clay is too soft or too hard, and the
walls of the vessel does not want to stay in place, do not “obey”,
do not conform with the purpose for it was created, he destroys it!
Makes new clay to make another piece without having anyone
to tell him that what He is doing is wrong!
God is our Potter!
We were created with a purpose in life and if by our disobedience
we defeat our purpose, He could destroy us like a potter’s vessel,
and make another one that can conform to his will!
Oh Lord : What is the purpose of my life living in this world?
How could I know if what I’m doing is right?
Well, He left us instructions in his book called the BIBLE.
Yes! The Book you always refuse to read!
God is as close to us as we let Him to be!
But, for our advantage, God made us better than regular clay,
we are not death but alive, and have in us the power to speak,
to implore forgiveness to our Great Potter to spare our life,
because He knows how fragile we are, just like a potter’s vessel!
But if instead of asking for forgiveness, we proudly say we are
not guilty and deserve to live….Be careful!
The closer to sin, the farther away from God we are!
Repentance makes us turn from sin to God!
Repentance is the desire to stop sinning!
And Christ is always ready to forgive us!
When we receive Him as our Lord!
PRAISE HIM!

"SHORT CIRCUIT"

Light is to vanish darkness, without light everything is darkness!
If we illuminate our heart, we will be able to see, all its filth!
“Let it be light, God said and there was light!”
Genesis 1– 3and 4.
We use electricity to produce artificial light, electricity has two
poles, completely opposed to each other, one is called positive,
and the other, negative. If we connect these poles to a bulb, we
will produce light, but if we allow these poles to touch, they will
crash and produce what is called: short circuit! So we have to
maintain these poles separated, and insulated one to the other
to prevent short circuits, and keep ourselves illuminated.
God is completely separated from the negative side, because He
hates anything that is bad, or evil and He wants us to be like Him
He said: Be saints because I am Saint! I Peter 1-16.
Many people live one moment with light, and other in complete
darkness because they love to touch both poles causing many
short circuits daily, turning off their light, finding themselves
in a profound darkness.
Jesus said: “I am the light of the world; he who follows me,
will not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8-12.
If we remain with Him, we will never be in darkness!
The only way to avoid short circuits, is separating these two
poles as far as we possible can, to stop touching them.
We have to separate ourselves from the negative, and embrace
the positive, the positive is love, and the negative is sin.
We cannot love and sin at the same time!
We cannot be sweet water and salty water at the same time!
We should not bless and damn at the same time!
Then… What can we do?
We have to learn to separate good and evil embrace good
and reject evil, to be close to God!
If we love God we cannot hate! If we hate we cannot love!
Love God and people!
We do not need to hate!

PRAISE HIM, HE LOVES YOU!

"BEHAVE"

With our behavior, at the end of our lives, we will have enough
building materials to construct a house in heaven, or a palace in hell.
The greater the amount of sins we have, the bigger the load we carry
on our shoulders, and the heavier the load, the greater our fatigue,
bigger our affliction, more intense our pain. Listen:
“As I live, said the Lord, I have no pleasure, in the death of the
wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live.”
Ezequiel 33-11.
Talking with a friend of mine, he told me that I need to congregate
and have a pastor to guide me, and I answered him: I have one
already, his name is Jesus Christ! Our Pastor!
To congregate is good, but we need to share with others what
we learn in the church and visit the people who are far from God!
Because of so much feeding ourselves in the congregation, we are
getting fat with so much spiritual food, food we could take to the
people who are hungry and needy of God.
There are so many lost sheep in the world that need help, that we
don’t need a lot of biblical knowledge and great eloquence to tell
the world who Christ is, and what He can do for us after removing
from our shoulders that heavy laden of sins that hurt us so much.
We could tell them that Jesus can change us in another person that
their goals are not to serve sin, but God and people. Listen:
We don’t need to build anything in heaven! Because Christ has
done it all for us! The only thing we need is to have Him
in our heart accepting Him as our Lord and Savior!
“In my Father’s house, are many mansions” John 14-2.
“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 ye shall find rest into
your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” Mathew 11- 28.

PRAISE HIM, HE LOVES YOU!

"THE DAY AFTER"

The day after is a message in the present, to think
twice in doing something we could regret in our
close future of tomorrow.
Today we may think that what we’re doing is right,
but tomorrow may show us that we were wrong!
Can we repair it now?
Or we have to wait for… The day after?
It is also a message to begin today to avoid all the
bad things, to be in good standing with God,
so the day after, we could feel closer to Him!
Closer than we were yesterday!
The day after is all about the consequences that will
bring us tomorrow, what we do today!
Can we repair today the bad things we did yesterday?
Maybe not!
But repentance can make us switch roads, and begin
going into the right one that can take us to God,
loving people instead of hating them!
God is Love! We should follow Him!
Better yet, stop running away from The Lord!
Turn around, face Him, and receive Christ in your heart,
so you could never again depart from the only One
who can make you change forever!
Change what?
Change the heart of stone you have for one of flesh so
you could feel love and begin loving God and people.
Change your heart today, because the day after …
May never come!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave his only
Begotten Son, that who so ever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3-16.
PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"WILL POWER"

What does this mean?
I believe it means that if we haven’t obtained what we
always wanted, is because we have not really wanted it!
Because our will is power! Listen:
“One day a leper, got close to Jesus, and on his knees and
his face on the ground, told Him: If you will you can cure me!
Jesus having pity on him touch him and said: I will, be whole,
and in that instant, the leprosy disappeared. Mark 1-41.
Well, that it was because it was Jesus, and not because the man
wanted it correct?
No! It was for the man’s faith, that without doubting a second,
believed that Jesus could healed him if He wanted, and Jesus,
granted his wish.
Awesome, isn’t it?
We also could obtain all we want by means of our faith, but,
we always are wishing for material things and not for spiri-
tual things from God that we really need.
Love, Goodness, Mercy, instead of the material staff of the
world, that will hurt us so much.
Faith is a gift of God that gave to every one of us, however,
we have to be careful where we put it, because only the faith
that is placed on Jesus is the one who save us!
The Bible says that there is not other name under heaven
that a man can call upon to be saved. Acts 4-12.
Saint Paul said:
“I can do all things with Christ that strengthens me”
Our faith in Jesus, does wonders in our life!
Faith move mountains!
Put together all your faith, put it at the feet of Jesus
and tell Him: Lord: If you will you could make me whole.

HE IS OUR WILL POWER!
PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"DO YOU KNOW GOD?"

The knowledge of God is obtained by reading His
Wonderful Book called “The Bible”
When we read it, its words fall like drops of pure, fresh,
and crystalline water into our recipients called: Mind
and heart.
And when these containers keep filling up with the Word
of God, they start boiling inside of us and start overflowing
because the Word of God is so alive and powerful;
that pushes us out to talk to others about it because we do
not want to let it fall on the ground and be wasted.
The Word of God is Love which God pours out over the
people who looks for Him, better said, for the ones that
accept Him as their Lord and Savior, because He perfectly
knows where we are what we do, and how many times we
have rejected Him!
Look inside your heart and mind and tell me:
Are they full or empty of God?
What is your heart filled with?
God’s blessings are obtained when we get close to Him,
and there is no better way to do it than reading His Book,
to know Him better!
The Bible is the Truth!
The Bible is His Word!
And the Word is Christ!
Who was sent to the world to save you!

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"PEBBLES IN MY SHOES"

“This is the day which the Lord made,
lets rejoice and be glad in it”
Psalm 118- 4.
This is an invitation to rejoice and be happy, which means we are
not paying any attention to this precious day we have received as
a gift from God, and we let day after day pass by without really
enjoying it as we should.
Why?
Because in order to be happy, we have to stop worrying, this
produces in us sadness and anxiety.
It is like having pebbles in ours hoes that hurt our feet at every
step we give, and like that, we are not going to be able to walk
along with our Lord!
Jesus said:
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: For the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the days the
evil thereof.” Mateo 6- 34.

Saint Paul use to say: Worry about nothing, but pray for everything.
That’s it!!
By praying we could remove one by one those sharp stones in our
shoes that hurt us so bad, and then…
We will be able to walk with our Lord with rejoice and happiness.
This is what God wants for us!
Easier to say than done?
No! It is easier to do it when we pray!
When we pray to The Almighty God!
“Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound:
They shall walk O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
righteousness shall they be exalted.”
Psalms 89-15 and 16.

PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"KINDLE YOUR CANDLE"

Candle?
What candle?
Oh yes! What candle! Let me explain it to you:
When we born, a “candle” is lit by God!
This candle is the length, the duration of our life and when
the wick consumes all its “wax”, the little flame fades out!
And then?
And then your soul which is alive will be in darkness!
Why?
Because we did not kindle our candle!
The “candle” that Jesus Christ gives to those who believe
He died for us, and resurrected to give us life eternal!
When we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, He lights up
our “candle” of the eternal life, a “candle” that never dies.
This “candle” you can kindle it long before your life in the
world expires. This is to be born again in a spiritual life
that super seeds the terrestrial one.
Christ bought us at a great price!
With his life He paid for our Redemption!
Kindle your candle!
But how can I do that?
Just believe! Believe God!
The Bible says that He loved the world so much,
that He gave his only Son to save it! John 3-16.
“There is no other name under heaven that men can
name to be saved.” Acts 4- 12.
“I am the Light of the world says Jesus!
He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the Light of life.” John 8- 12.

KINDLE YOUR CANDLE…
AND PRAISE THE LORD!

"SHOWER OF GRACE"

Through the years, we have collected “tons” of dirt called sin!
We store it in a small but powerful muscle that began ticking
like a clock before we started to breath the polluted air of Earth.
Our Heart!
We could take a long bath with lots of soap, use the most expen-
sive perfumes and wear the finest clothing we can buy, but…..
Our heart remains the same! Filthy!
Our appearance changes, right, we may look nice, clean,
but in the inside, we remain unchanged!
Poor or rich, if we look up to heaven and ask God for forgive-
ness with true repentance in our minds, a miracle happens!
A shower of Grace begins pouring on us thanks to Jesus!
He cleanses us and changes our hearts of stone for a flesh one
and He fills it up with his love!
Our appearance may be the same, but, our smile after receiving
Christ as our Lord and Savior will shine in us, forever!
Does Jesus save only “good” people?
No! He came to save us all! All who wishes to be saved!
Of course! But time change things, right?
We just wait, and we will be changed correct?
Wrong! If we don’t make the move, nobody will do it for us!
We have to act if we want to have things changed!
Act now!
We are like the most precious metals in the world for God!
We are like bars of gold buried into the mud because of sin!
But, we have to be removed from the dirt, cleaned, restored,
polished, and saved, for God’s service!
We all are precious to God! Specially you!
Don’t let this opportunity of salvation go away without you!
God loves you and wants to save you!
Do you love Him? If you think you do…
Don’t be afraid! Say it!
He is waiting for you!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"HAPPY MOTHERS DAY"

Mom asked 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 John?
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 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 us Mom, we never thank God enough for you
because you fed us from your womb and never stopped
ever since, you had us on your bosom taking care of us
protecting us with your own life.
Mother: God bless you for everything you do for us!
And all the kids shouted at the same time:

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

"A HEART OF ROCK"

Lord: Why are you insisting in knocking on a hardened
heart of somebody that does not respond?
Why did you put your eyes on him?
Can’t you see he is faking?
He is always involved in hating, and honoring
all the material things of this world!
Spiritual things he doesn’t like!
He cares only for pleasure!
Why do you waste your time in him?
You sacrificed yourself to save us, it is true, but…
You’re always knocking on his door and never answer!
You’re always calling him and never listen!
He rather be alone than enjoy your company!
I cannot understand!
Prideful, arrogant and egoist, he may think he is a saint
but he is a nobody, he never remembers You!
Forget about him!
Having so many valuable people in the whole world,
that can respond to your Word.
That when you call them they’ll be ready to listen!
That when you knock to their door, they will open!
But this man cares for nobody!
He is interested just in fame and money!
He doesn’t even answer to his door bell…
Why don’t you let him go to hell?
Son, please come down! Stop!
Open up your ears and listen:
Get rid of your pride!
You have to be friendly and humble!
Put your pride aside!
That heart of stone you’re talking about…
It’s your own!
You have to change!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"FREEDOM TO LOVE"

Jesus gave us freedom!
He removed the chains
we were dragging;
because of sin.

Yes! Now we are free!
Free to love and serve
Wipe out those tears, smile,
Sing to our Good Lord.

If something you did
bothers your mind,
don’t get discouraged,
ask Him for his forgiveness.

Our God is a Merciful God
ready to forgive us
when we repent,
because He loves us!

Raise your hands!
affirm your legs, and
offer Him the sacrifice
of your afflicted heart.

Rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord!
God loves you and …
Wants to see you happy!

Open up your heart and say:
I Love you Jesus!
Enter into my heart,
and never leave me!

Come Lord Jesus!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"HE IS RISEN"

He is risen!
Praise the Lord!
He rose to conquer life eternal
for all those who believe in Him!

He is risen,
Praise the Lord!

Now He is seating down at
the right hand of his Father
to give us his love eternally!

He is risen!
Praise Him
with all your heart!


He is risen; He is my Lord,
my God, my Savior!
He is risen to save my soul!

Thank You Jesus for your life,
your death and resurrection.

You’re the King!
We, your servants!

"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!

"SURRENDER"

Sin has always been part of our lives, we were born
with it, live with it, and the time will come in which
believe it or not, we won't be able to live without it!
It is so strong in us that we cannot talk, think or do
anything, without it, and we could not get rid of it
because it is inside of us!
Unfortunately, it seems that we cannot realize that
God hates sin, and the more we sin, the farther away
from Him we become!
Wait! wait! Listen to me:
If we have always lived with sin and be happy…
Why do we need to get close to God?
Interesting question, I’ll tell you why!
Not all year is Carnival!
We also have Ash Wednesday, and Friday of Sorrow!
What is that?
I am not surprised you don’t know what that is, but,
let me tell you something:
A day is going to come in which we have to pay for
all damages we caused, because of sin.
Sin is the opposite of love, and only with God we can
love, without Him we can only hate, and at the end…
We have to pay!
We all are sinners! Then… We all need God!
Adam and Eve were thrown out of Paradise because
of sin, they disobeyed God!
We could also be kicked out of the world, our Paradise
for so much sin, however, God gives us an opportunity
to repent of our sins and surrender to Jesus Christ
whom God sent to the world to save it!
Surrender!
Surrender to God and begin to love,
And to forgive!

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"FREEDOM TO LOVE"

Jesus gave us freedom
He removed the chains
we were dragging
because of sin.

Yes! Now we are free!
Free to love and serve.
Wipe out those tears, smile,
Sing to our Good Lord.

If something you did
bothers your mind,
don’t get discouraged,
ask Him for his forgiveness.

Our God is a Merciful God
ready to forgive us
when we repent,
because He loves us!

Raise your hands!
affirm your legs, and
offer him the sacrifice
of your afflicted heart.

Rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord!
God loves you and …
Wants to see you happy!

Open up your heart and say:
I Love you Jesus!
Enter into my heart,
and never leave me!

Come Lord Jesus!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"NOTHING"2.

Who then will condemn us? Will Christ?
No! For He is the one who died for us and came back
to life again, for us, and is seating at the place of highest
honor next to God, pleading for us there in heaven.
Who then can ever keep Christ’s love from us?
When we have trouble or calamity, when we are
hunted down or destroyed, is it because He doesn’t
love us anymore?
And if we are hungry, or in necessity, or in danger,
or threatened with death, has God deserted us?
No! For the Scriptures tell us, that for His sake we
must be ready to face death at every moment
of the day, we are like sheep awaiting slaughter.
But despite all these, overwhelming victory is ours
through Christ who loved us enough to die for us.
For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us
from His love.
Death can’t, and life can’t .
the angels won’t, and all the powers of hell itself
cannot keep God’s love away.
Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow,
or where we are high above the sky, or in the deepest
ocean, nothing will ever be able to separate us from
the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus
Christ when He died for us.
Romans 8-24 to 35.


PRAISE THE LORD!
HE LOVES YOU!.

"NOTHING"

Who could separate us from the love of Christ?
We are saved by Faith, and faith means looking forward
to getting something we don’t yet have, for a man who already
has something, doesn’t need to hope and trust that he will get it.
But if we must keep trusting God for something that hasn’t
happened yet, it teaches us to wait patiently and confidently.
And in the same way by our faith, the Holy Spirit helps us with
our daily problems, and in our praying. For we don’t even know
what we should pray for; nor how to pray as we should, but the
Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be
expressed with words.
And the Father who knows all hearts knows, of course, what the
Spirit is saying as He pleads for us in harmony with God’s will.
And we know that all that happens to us is working for our own
good if we love God and are called according to His plans.
For from the very beginning, God decided that those who came
to Him and all along He knew who would should become like
His Son, so that His Son, would be the first, with many brothers.
And having chosen us, He called us to come to Him; and when
we came, He declared us not guilty, filled us with Christ’s
goodness, gave us right standing with Himself and promised us
His glory.
What can we say to such wonderful things as these?
If God is on our side, who can be against us?
Since He did not spare even His own Son, for us, but gave Him
up for us all, won’t He also surely give us everything else?
Who dares accuse us, whom God has chosen for His own?
Will God? No! He is the one who has forgiven us, and given us
right standing with Himself.
Who then will condemn us? Will Christ?

"DO YOU WANT GOD TO BE YOUR FRIEND?"

”
Oh yes! But I can’t!
Why?
Because I’m a sinner!
God is Saint and He is not friend of sinners!
Wait, wait, wait! Wait a minute! Don’t you have
in mind the desire to change your sin ways?
Well I tried, but it’s not easy, believe me!
Nobody said it’s easy! Listen:
Remember the part of the Bible when Mary
Magdalene was caught in adultery?
She never had the desire to change, until she found
herself surrounded with people with stones in their hands
ready to bury her with them, and what happened?
Jesus saved her, He told the people that all of them were
sinners and whoever think that is not, to cast the first stone.
And Then???
NOBODY THREW ANY STONE!
Mary changed, and became a friend of God!
He wants you to be his friend! He wants to change you!
Unless you want to wait until you’re caught in sin!
It’s up to you! But it won’t be necessary!
Jesus wants to help us! He said:
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance!
Luke 5-32.
He wants to cure from sin everyone who asks Him to do so!
What are you waiting for?

“If a man has one hundred sheep and one of them gets lost,
doesn’t he leave the ninety nine in the corral and goes to find
the lost one?
Ah, when he finds it he puts it on his shoulder and very happy
goes to his friends so they can rejoice with him! Same thing
happens in heaven, there is more rejoice for a sinner that repents,
than for the ninety nine Just persons that need no repentance.”
Luke 15-4.

GOD FOUND YOU…
DON’T LEAVE HIM AGAIN!!

PRAISE HIM HE LOVES YOU!

"IS GOD YOUR FRIEND 2"

You are probably saying:
I’ll never go to be able to be God’s friend!
What do I need to do to be his friend?
Wow! Very good question! Jesus said:
“You are my friends if you do whatsoever I command you.”
John 15-14..
We have to do his will and not ours!
And you know He is Righteous and He will never ask you
to do something that violates God’s Commandments!
So, what does He want us to obey? Listen:
“A new Commandment I give you, that you love one another;
as I have loved you, ye also love one another.”
John 13-34
“Greater love had no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends,”
John 15- 13.
“But as it is written, I had not seen nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man the things which God
had prepared for them that love Him.” I Corinthians 2-9.
And the scripture was fulfilled that which saith:
Abraham believed God and it was counted for justice
and he was called: friend of God.
James 2-23.
God’s friends not only believe in God, but also believe Him!
“Believe that He loves us so much that sent his only
begotten Son to the world to save us!” John 3-16.

Do you believe God?
Just ask Him to save you!
He will be you Lord, your Savior, and…
Your friend!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"IS GOD YOUR FRIEND?"

Yes! He is!
He is my friend, why are you making me that question?
Well, because many people say that God is their friend
but, they are not telling the truth, because friends like
to share things in common, good friends practically,
do the same things, and if you like to lie, hate, hurt
people, steal, kill, commit adultery, you’re doing the
things God hates, how can He be your friend?
If you are doing the things the devil loves to do…
he is your friend, not God!
We humans are very weak against the enticements of
the powerful force of sin, and we alone cannot reject it!
That’s why God sent his Son to help us fight together
against sin, and when we ask Him for his help,
He reinforces our will power when we really want to
remove sin from our lives.
He will teach us how dangerous sin is for our souls
and how we could overcome sin, and become
God’s sons when we obey Christ teachings.
The only thing we could be proud of, is in the cross
of Christ where He paid for our sins to save us!
Christ is very happy when we decide to follow Him,
and when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior…
He becomes our Friend! The next time they ask you:
Is God your friend? You will happy answer them:
Yes! He is! He forgave me and changed me!
He is my Lord, my Savior, and of course…
My Friend!

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"KNOCKOUT"

How good would it be that in a boxing match, we win all
rounds and the last one, giving to our opponent a good hit
on his jaw, we throw him on the canvas and at the count of
ten, we win by knockout!
Fabulous!
But if instead of us winning, the hits are coming like a cascade,
I think it would be better if we fall at the beginning, and then,
recovering our strength, raising our arms, stretching our legs,
and listening to our manager, we attack our opponent with all
we got, and become victorious, instead of start winning all
rounds and at the end getting tired of throwing so many hits
we stop and loose the fight.
If for any reason, we are laying on the canvas because our
enemy threw us down, we should not worry, we still have
a chance to stand up and fight on our road to God, because
it is not until we are counted until ten, that we are eliminated.
We are not defeated, we’re still alive!
Gain back your strength, raise your fallen arms, strengthen
your legs, and listen to our Trainer Jesus.
He defeated death on the cross to give us life!
He said:
“In the world ye may have tribulation, but be of good cheer
I have overcome the world”
John 16- 33.

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved us.”
Romans 8-37.

“Listening and obeying his wise advises, we will surely win”

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES US!

"NEW LIFE 2"

God gives us the present of a new life when we receive
Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature;
old things are passed away, behold, all things are
become new.” II Corinthians 5-17.
The old already passed and in front of us a new horizon
opens up to serve God and people.
We cannot stop our journey to continue wrestling all our
life against the desires of the flesh that do the impossible
to maintain us with them! But No!
We have to continue forward with our faces toward God
making good use of our new life obeying Him!
Rejoice says Saint Paul in Philippians 4-4.
Rejoice in the Lord he repeats. He wants us to be happy!
If we turn our heads looking back remembering about the
past, we would make a complete stop, unable to serve God.
Inside of us has been born a new life, clean, pure and true,
we have to begin living! Giving thanks to our Lord!
We are a new creation! Go ahead! Keep going!
We cannot go back!
With the help of the Holy Spirit Christ put inside of us
when we accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, we will
be able to defeat our old nature denying it obedience.
We can triumph against it by not listening to all those
lies with which it wants to make us return!
No! Not a chance! With Christ’s help, we cannot fail!
When we accepted Jesus as our Lord, God adopted us
as his sons, and now we could call Him : “Abba” Father
when we need his help!
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
have peace: In the world ye shall have tribulation,
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
John 16-33.
With Christ, we are more than conquerors!
Romans 8-37.

PRAISE HIM
HE LOVES YOU!

"NEW LIFE"

The new life consists in abandon our former manner
of living full of sin, doubts, insecurities, insults,
hates, bitterness, anxieties, sadness etc. without any
enthusiasm at all, in doing something good,
living a selfish life, without caring about others.
We forget that love is not to receive, but to give.
When we give love, our heart rejoices, and it is happy,
because our happiness is founded in the love of others.
If you believe in God, and you know He sent his only
Son to pay for your sins on the cross…
Rejoice!
Grace is the unmerited forgiveness of our sins, when
we confess that Jesus is the Holy Son of the Almighty!
And when we believe He resurrected among the death
to give us eternal life… we obtain it!
Because Christ is Life!
Life Eternal!

“And this is the record that God has given us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son.”
“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not
the Son of God, hath not life.”
I John 5-11.

And when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior…
Our life begins!

PRAISE HIM…
HE LOVES YOU!
