Why do we wait so much to implore God for our life?

  What are we afraid of?

I read today an article about the illness which affects Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela. His doctors told him that medical science could not do anything else for him. The article says he cries as he asks Christ to do a miracle on him.

I would like to tell him, (if he reads my blog), and also to all those who wait to the last minute to pray to God, that Christianity is not  an amulet to keep you safe in the misfortunes. It is not something that you use only when you need it. It is a WAY of LIFE you practice every moment when you believe Jesus’ teachings and do good to others, not only the ones who think like you, but to all, like He did;  preaching with our attitude, yet avoiding an affiliation with those who are on Satan’s payroll. Christ does not discriminate among people or groups and true Christians should do the work Jesus asked: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel (the good news) to all creation. (Mark 16:15) He did not say we had to associate with terrorists to justify them or imitate their crooked doctrine, but to preach to them and give them the good news of salvation. If they are not Christian and do not accept me for being one, it is up to them. Some day, not very far, they are going to wish to have Christ and us too in their favorites list for the time draws near when “ the sons of the kingdom (of Satan) will be cast out into the outer darkness;  in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:12)

Jesus also said: Love your enemies.(Mathew 5:44) Not hate them like the socialists teach. And: Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. (Luke 6:28)  Remember Jesus words on the Cross: Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34). He did not tell us to humiliate or insult anyone on a microphone at the UN where the whole world would hear. There, it is precisely where you had to demonstrate what you, supposedly, believed in.

The Cuban Medical Science might not be able to help you, but God can. There is nothing impossible for Him. If you believe in him and really repent from your sins, you will be saved, eternally. And if you confess Him publicly asking forgiveness, by doing something great for your people, before you die, like putting off the economical help you give the true enemies of the people who oppose God and Christ; and return all you have stolen, like Zaccheus did, perhaps God will give you more years of life on this earth, like He did Hezekiah when he pleaded. Just, don’t be asking Christ for a miracle to keep dealing with the Devil.
