My Rock & Salvation🗣🗣🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕

Hello Everyone;

 

Been trying to see what I could talk but the Lord had other plans. As many of you know the situation in Houston well Texas it’s serious. I been watching and reading the news and my heart breaks for all this people who are going through this horrible time. Life will never be the same for them.

 

Many people have lost their lives in this flood. They are either homeless or still in need of rescue. Never in my life have a seen such devastation, we saw what happened in New Jersey about 2 to 3 years ago but this level of disaster has not happened in the American history. This reminds me about a storm that hit Central America called Mich in 1998 if I’m not mistaken; this storm made so much destruction in my city and country. Many lives were lost and many were left without homes, rivers overflowed and it was impossible to evacuate so people had to climb on top of the houses. The house that I lived in was the size of two stories and water was almost to 2/3 away from the top.  I can completely relate to Texans right at this moment; many of them don’t have insurance on the homes, but what’s more troubling and sad is the death this storm brought. Many people died; they drowned trying to escape from this place. texas-flooding

Psalms 121:1-2

“1I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains?2.No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains”

My heart weeps for you; this is the moment that we need to unite and help our brothers and sisters out. This is the moment that the christian church starts helping  out and crying out to God for these people. We need to cry out as if they were our family instead of strangers. Don’t you know that the more people pray the more God listens. Church is time to stop sleeping, Jesus coming it’s at the doors. All this devastation and violence is preparing the coming for our savior. Please let’s wake up, the husband is coming and the bride is still not ready. We are either asleep or slacking off with our indecisiveness. God wants us awake not sleeping.

Matthew 24:4-8

“4.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you. 5.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6.You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8.All these are the beginning of birth pains.”

Let’s keep this state and it’s cities in our prayers at this moment; they need our help and our prayers more than anything.

Lord we come into your presence this morning asking that you protect those are still in need of rescuing, that you give acceptance and peace to those who have lost a loved one or their homes. Lord in your name we ask that you take control this moment of that storm that you be guiding it out of this state. Have mercy Father; your word say that if we ask it shall be given. So in this moment we are asking you no pleading you that you take control of this situation. If you let this happen it was for a reason Father; let us understand what is it that you want to let us know. Lord we thank you because we believe that you are merciful and loving and that you have heard the prayers from your son’s and daughters. In the name of Jesus, AMEN.

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not abandon me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation!”

Last night service one of the members from church preached and one thing he preached or talked about was that we have to have an encounter with God individually. And it clicked on my mind that many of us; don’t have that experience. We might go to church and we might say I believe in God but how many of us have had a real experience with God.?

 For example biblical speaking there are some people in the bible that had that encounter with the Lord for example; Job, Moises, Abraham, Jacob , Paul, Samuel and much more. To some God manifested in dreams to others he spoke and some he manifested in a physical way.

There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Gen 28:13

I think we all know the story of Jacob how he had to flee his land and all. But what interests me from that verse it’s that God presented himself in Jacob’s dream. I mean who wouldn’t want that; for the Lord to come into your dreams and speak to you. But my point is this guy was raised with the believes of Isaac and Abraham; so he knows there is a God and all that come with it. But he has never had an encounter with the Lord. And that’s how many of us live nowadays; we go to church because it’s expected of us. We don’t go because we want to go praise the Lord and you know that’s why many millennials nowadays their main excuses are;

  1. Church is boring.
  2. Pastor is not involved with us.
  3. Where do the tithes and offering goes.
  4. Church involvement with politics and many more.

I learned through my experiences as a youth that was raised in the church and as leader of the youth that you can’t force no one to look for God. Each person has to go through a process and each one has to have an encounter with God. For example my youngest brother he was raised since he was a baby in the church. However these last few years he has departed from God; but you know what when God has a purpose with someone there is no one or anything that will stop him to bring that person back to his path. Well I  tried to guide him the best way I could but I continue to pray for him. God has spoken to him a couple of times now but he never listened and instead became more rebellious. 

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

Well the Lord had enough and brought him to attention on Sunday during the preaching. He was called to the front and God spoke to him that he was going to be anointed because his ministry is as a pastor; however that would not happen if he didn’t choose to leave everything behind. He had to let go of a necklace that was tying him to the past and needed to raise his hands out of his free own will and I’m not lying when I say this kid stayed 30 minutes upright trying to raise his hands and he couldn’t. He would go halfway and then lower them. It was a deep struggle that he was going through it was a battle that he needed to fight alone and he fought it because at the end he took off that necklace and raised his hands and when the pastor anointed him, he fell backward without no one touching him. That doesn’t mean he is okay but it means that the struggle will be harder and he needs to fight more harder then ever now; he had his encounter with the Lord now it depends on him what to do with it.

When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” Gen 28:16

No one will win your salvation. Each person has to fight for their blessing and each has to fight for their salvation. The road is not easy there will be bumps and obstacles but it depends on you to fight your way through those things. Don’t you think Jesus wanted to give up when he was being whipped or crucified but he knew that if he gave up; humanity would never have the opportunity to being saved. He fought his battle now is your turn to fight for your encounter with God and your salvation. Don’t let anyone discourage you. IMG_0111

Humanity Vs God..

Why is there so much violence in this world?🌎

Why is there so much violence in this world???

Is it because we think that we are superior from one another? Is it our hatred towards other nationalities? Or is it the religious side of it?

What has given and who has given us the right to kill innocent people just for our own beliefs, wants and desires. Who are we to take a life without mercy and compassion. What has become of this humanity that instead of spreading love towards one another; we instead incite fear and hatred in the hearts of other people.

I truly believe that we have lost the mercy and compassion but most of all the love for human beings. There is so much violence in this world that sometimes I just get sick of watching news after news about a shooting, bombing and homicide. This world is becoming more darker as the days become shorter. I don’t know if you can’t feel this huge oppression in the air. Some might call me crazy but there is no peace at night. No one can go anywhere without being armed or no one can sleep at their own home without an alarm system.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:2

“For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night”

 

What are we doing?

To stop this spread of violence, I believe that we need to really turn back to God.  The world has done whatever it wanted. When I talk about the world I’m not talking about earth itself but us the humans that live in this planet. We have turn our back to God, because he is not a huge thing. He does not give you the riches of the world, he does not give you fame, he does not give you constant sexual relationships or normal ones. All our reasons for having giving our back to God is going to come back.

2  Timothy 3:2

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,unthankful, unholy,

We humans need structure; you might think you know everything or that there is no higher power out there that watches your every move and every thought. But at the end of all of this destruction will come for humanity. We have been rebellious toward someone that gave his only  son to die and be torture in a cross for our sins. That someone that as a father loved his child but he knew that if that sacrifice was not made we would never have the opportunity to be face to face with him. He chose to give salvation and redemption to a humanity that constantly sins and has always being ungrateful and has stomped on that blood and sacrifice. And he continues to be merciful towards this humanity  but a moment will come that his wrath will descend upon us for our sins and transgression.

John 317

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

It’s time for us to go back toward that God that is merciful, compassionate, loving but also wrathful. It’s time to live under his commandments not our flesh desires and wants. What are you humanity doing to this beautiful planet and the lives that were created here.? It’s so tragic that nowadays we live in fear because we don’t know the intentions of our neighbors or friends. I ask anyone that reads this post to pray for your neighbors, community and even state; its time to rise up this country in prayer. Love one another as if you are blood related and show kindness and compassion but most of all Love to the needy.

P.S. Lets keep praying for violence to decrease in this world. May God bless you all, Shalom.

Right this moment I’m asking to myself this question…

What do I want from this life?

I know I want to go to college which at this moment is impossible for me, but I believe that God has control over everything. My deepest desire since childhood has been to be a singer and now as I have gotten older; quite a few more things have been added to that list. For example I love writing I can see myself as an author but I also see myself preaching and worshiping taking his word out to the nations.

Philippians 4:19 

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus”

However from where I’m standing it looks it will never be possible for those dreams to come through. I’m getting older and I know some will say that God can use you not mattering your age. And I believe that’s true because if we go to the New Testament we for example have Jesus he started his ministry at the age of 30 and it was a three-year ministry that impacted the world and is still impacting it today. So my question is;

What do I want from God?

See how I change the question because at the end is not what we want but what the Lord has ordained for us. Some people are given the opportunity to continue to pursue their dreams; while others are taken through a more difficult road. Some people got to leave behind their family and dreams to preach the word of the Lord. This brings me back the story about the rich young ruler and Jesus. Do you guys remember it? This young ruler was seeing the miracles that Jesus was doing and he wanted to be part of it; however he couldn’t let go of what he had to follow Jesus.

Matthew 19:21-22

Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”22 But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

It’s so difficult to do God’s will; it’s a daily struggle because the world has thought us that if we don’t have a pedigree, fame, money or influence we are nothing. We are like the flies that nobody wants. But I got good news for you; because at the we are important to God. God still wants us without all of that; he is not looking for the outside but he sees whats on the inside.

Matthew 6:31-32

Therefore do not be anxious, saying,

‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.”

I might not have what the world thinks is necessary to survive but I have the King of Kings in me and I truly believe that the Lord provides for his children. For example right at this moment I’m working at a government institution that you need to have a degree to be in it; however the Lord provided the door for me to get in here. And I believe I will be staying for some time; I don’t know your situation, your dreams but if God has called you to do something else I would recommend doing it because the blessing that comes after obeying the Father is abundant for you and your family. We make our choice after all and God does not work in a heart unwilling to follow and obey his commandments.

Matthew 6:33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

Sometimes we forget that the God we serve is the same God that provided for his people the Israelite in the desert. We can’t see beyond our wants and needs and I truly believe with everything in me that God wants to use this new generation but if we don’t stop focusing on what the world wants from us; we will never get to the potential that God has for us. So I might be without a degree, money or fame; however I’m not missing anything because my God provides when there is spiritual need and economic also. I truly admire the people from the old times they walked where God told them and they walked by faith and at the end the Lord provided for them.

P.s. Let’s keep praying for this violence that has risen in this country; after all we are all equal in the eyes of God. My prayers are with those states and countries that are going through violence for example; Venezuela and Charlottesville. Let’s spread the love to our neighbors and communities.

Dear Ms..Proud???😐😔😒😲

 

 

 

Today’s blog post will be  RAW. I’m going to pour out my heart out and if some family members do read this share it😂😂😂 ya’ll know who you are.😉😉😉

 

How many Love serving the Lord? Through everything that comes with this ministry and path. And even though I love it sometimes I wish I could be a strong believer and be always in the presence of the Lord. That my foundations be always on the rock; However there are moments that I’m at my weakest and I HATE IT………Completely..

When I’m at my weakest I feel the most vulnerable and what I do in this situation is I hide myself from God and I don’t let God use it to glorify himself. You know being perfect it’s entwined  most of the times in the doctrines of many churches.. to the extent that we view ourselves as saints. We are worshiping ourselves because we did not “fall”or even “sin” and that’s a hypocrisy because after all we are flesh and we sin every single day; whoever says otherwise is lying. God is not about egos or vanity; Yes he has call us to be holy but he knows that even though we astride to be; we will never get there.

 

For example imagine this;

 

A big mountain made of just rocks and that God is seating at the top or that the top is God’s level of holiness. And we are the speck in the bottom of that mountain. We are climbers trying to climb to the top to get the victory of having climb that difficult mountain. However during the climb I fall because I did not grip the right rock or the equipment was not in the proper place. The Rocks that get in the way will be the obstacle or test that we go through. And the fall will be the sin. Some people might never get to the top of that mountain; they will end up in the middle, because at the end of all we are human and flesh while he is a mighty God.

“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:14‬ ‭

 

That verse right there says it all. What does Pursue mean? Pursue in the dictionary means to follow, proceed or engage. For me I take it as is to search and follow a certain path or goal which for many is living in holiness. But we forget that Jesus disciples were men who sinned and were made of flesh during the time they walked with him. Our view of Holiness or Perfection it’s twisted because we critized the exterior of the person but we never look into our hearts to see the ugliness or wickedness that’s in there. We will never to be complete perfect or Holy because the moment we do we forget that God exists. We will think of ourselves as saints as God ourselves. When our flesh still has needs and wants and our soul still battles daily with the things of the world.

Who are we trying to fool? We can’t hide from God he sees every action and every fall but still he wants us how we are. This past weekend I went through a situation that in which I saw the hand of God. Have you seen that scene or moment in a movie or tv show of suspense. Well that’s how this weekend was. I was seeing only the big problem but no my God. I can’t stop giving thanks for what he has done in that situation but that’s where you see his mighty hand .

 

P.S. God Bless Everyone… Dios Les Bendiga🙏🙏🙏💙💕💕❤️ Remebember to let’s share the kindness and love of our God🌎🌎🌎🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
