O Death Where is Your Victory, O Death Where is Your Sting? (I Corinth. 15.55)

Evildoers think that DEATH is the END of their problems and they do not know it is really the beginning, because they don’t realize that killing a good man will not end his goodness but will multiply his followers. Remember what happened with Jesus in the times when technology did not count at all. Professional killers charge quite a bit to end with the life of someone that is making somebody else very mad because of the message they are sharing with the people. It is all because their message is interfering with the payer’s interests or the hitter’s own, if no one paid him. Like I said last month, it is very foolish to insist in staying “SICK” if somebody is giving you the cure to your cancer for free. But pride, sometimes is stronger than the desire to be clean. Evildoers rather stir up masses for struggle creating war between the people to justify their wrong ways which makes us fail following their mean ideas and ideals to destroy humanity. What they do not know, though, is that the Owner of everything created is NOT going to permit that the people He made to His image and are faithful to Him be destroyed like the ideals of the evildoers which will vanish for lack of truth. See, the good message will prevail despite the danger, and the righteous will triumph because DEATH is not the end. Death is NOT the end for the faithful. Death is the end of sickness provoked by a fallen world, and a rest to the ones who suffer the difficulties of the “sinful old age”. Paul, the apostle said: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is GAIN. (Philippians 1.21) For he knew, first hand, that if he died he would have gone to be with Christ and if he lived he would keep on preaching Him so the people would learn to know Him and be free of the future wrath. All the wrongdoers who do not repent will eventually fail and not by our doing because it’s a divine will and like Jesus said to Satan: “It is written,” so it is in God’s Word when it says: Do not fret because of evildoers, be not envious toward wrongdoers for they will wither quickly like grass and fade like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness….Commit your way to the Lord. . .He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noon day. (Psalms 37.1-6) Let us give thanks to GOD for His love and His promises to keep us in His kingdom when we die!!!

Are You Satisfied With What You’re Doing?

Some might be, when it provides joy or they might think it’s the “correct” thing to do if they have been taught that. But, What if you’re wrong and your behavior condemns you? Would you be sorry when higher authorities accuse you, especially when there is NO way out? That is very sad that having the possibility of being healthy, as many proclaim today, you insist on staying unhealthy and “DIE.” Actually, that’s the rule for everything in life. If we do not do what our parents teach us, we never learn to eat, walk, talk and everything feasible to make us adults. Our teachers tell us that if we do not study, we won’t graduate. Our doctors keep us healthy. The Authority keeps us safe; the law, secure. It all works so we learn to live sensibly. We could’ve lived sensibly in a good World. But this is NOT it. This is a fallen one since our disobedience of not keeping the rules of our Creator. But some people do not care about that. They keep on thinking what the nonbelievers tell them: that there’s no God, that man came from the apes, and that a big explosion made possible all the things around us; instead of having a smarter than us Being who created smart people and a perfect world if we had followed the rules to keep it so. Yet, the desire to be “like a god” was bigger. The first man, Adam, gave the name to all the animals God created (Genesis 2.19-20) and together with the first woman Eve, they lived fine until they fell disobedient. (Read Genesis chapter 3). If it wasn’t for that we wouldn’t have inherited that syndrome of sin, which is why there are so many nonbelievers who prefer to obey Satan whose ideals are to destroy God’s creation by deceiving us, treacherously. The great thing is that for that reason God sent his Son Jesus to pay the price for our sin and cleanse us, redeeming us so our doings do not incriminate us. ver believes iFor God SO loved the world that he sent His only begotten Son so whosoen Him DO NOT PERISH but have Eternal Life. (John 3.16) God is the Creator of LOVE for ALL. If you are not convinced that what you do is the result of loving one another as Jesus commanded, you still have time to ask Jesus to redeem you ‘cause He said: “No one comes to the Father (God) but through Me”(John 14.6) And the one who was once a persecutor of Christians also said: Therefore there is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8.1)

Would You Like to know...? A testimony

I am a 73 years old woman who was born to a great and functional Christian family. My father was a medical Doctor by the Grace of God, because coming from a very poor family, God made that possible through all the “bad moments” that led him to know Him since his youth and got to meet up the right people who helped him make that dream come true. Since he met the Lord at 14, he let Him guide him and prayed also for his future descendants to have that care too. Thus I was taught in the correct way, as a child I did not realize the good that meant. I was involved in situations that for a young girl it was dangerous since my younger brother and I had to flee our home by ourselves, which made my mother scared. We went to Europe where we did not know anybody but God made it possible to encounter the right people who helped us too. Now that I have lived my life, in the faith, caring for children and grandchildren, I can proudly say the many times God saved me from all the troubles I encountered because I also pleaded Him for safety. From all I have learned through my life and the choosing of the right way despite the hesitation, I know that He has kept me safe which is why in His word he advices us not to be afraid because He won’t ever let us down. People can let you down but God is faithful. I have told you that because we know things that could help you make great choices based on truths that people have lived, starting with me and others I’ve read about. I have listened to many testimonies from the real family of God which are true. The ones that are not true usually are the ones interested in taking advantage of something for their “goodness” and you know what happens to those wicked ones; and we know their disguised father who our Heavenly Father has promised to eliminate for us when He comes back. The ones who have believed on GOD, His commandments, and have HOPE, not only live happier knowing He cares for us despite the “bad times,” but try that others have the goodness we enjoy. We are NOT happy when people perish without being saved. When Jesus was about to be arrested, he told his disciples what would happen for He knew: “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16.33) No matter how much unbelievers mock you, do not worry, they do not care for the truth. Jesus tells us: Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of LIFE. (Revelation 2.10d) What a great Promise!

Are We Ignorant of the Truth?

This question could sound offensive if asked as the second person pronoun, whether singular or plural form. This is why nonbelievers, especially the ones who teach the inexistence of God as our Creator, insist in calling everyone who thinks different as they do, disgusting epithets to devalue their intelligence. That is, people, the GOSPEL of Satan which is ignored by the “smart” people who think that FREE SERVICES are great to society. Only in a Society where the government owns everyone and everything, starting with your Mind that opposes the existence of the Supreme Being, will things be free until they convince you and then it will cost your freedom, your will, and consequently your LIFE. Remember that Satan approached the human being to destroy God’s creation for envy. He knew about the free will and convinced the woman to disobey God’s command of not eating from the tree of the knowledge of “good and evil” because they would be like gods, and would not die as told; not right away but eventually, (but Satan didn’t mention that.) Of course, he was disguised as the serpent to defeat the woman who did not think twice and probably felt “so good” that did not prevent the consequences which happened immediately when everything changed the way God had desired for people to live forever in a perfect way, and men, animals, and nature changed their ways (including the bad things that became natural) . So they were the result of disobedience despite the “goodness” Satan had offered. That was what happened in the garden of Eden in the beginning, and not one on earth could, can, or would do anything in the future to change it, (except God Himself) . Because of it all, the human race became slave of sin, and everyone is born with that inheritance. That’s why the Son of God, Jesus, who loved us so, came to free us from our own destruction but people did not want to change their ways on earth to be able to live eternally and many preferred stay sinful . That is why all the ones who offer “goodness without God”, on account of envy, fail in their longing for power, and contrary to Midas touch, everything turns to famine, destruction, and misery, reason for which everyone flees, like we have our countries. Myriads like us have experienced that and don’t want it for anyone. That’s why we do not choose Godless people for office. Please, for your own good do not be ignorant and see how destructive the antichrists are. Do not give them the chance to lie like Satan. (good liars are his allies) We have suffered ENOUGH, thus we know the TRUTH. And the ones who have hope also know that only Jesus’ father, our loving God who wants us to live forever with Him can helps us not to fall in a “no return” permanent loss. Remember that Jesus said that the TRUTH shall make us free, although not the “truth” of the wicked who make up stories to win positions of power; what do you think for? So: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the ALMIGHTY. (Psalm 91.1)

Are You Registered in The Book of Life at Heaven?

This is something that worries some people because “They are not Sure if they would be accepted or not” Actually that is something that happens here on earth. If you have applied to study at a University/school, or if you are looking for a job, or for a membership to a particular society/club, you must comply with specific rules which will enable you to join or not; perhaps a good point average, an acceptable behavior, your capability of performance due to different issues that could make your attempt pleasant for you, but especially for who’s accepting you. The way you show how interested you are in the pursuing effort might help, although not much in the scoring/degree or the possibility ones. I remember the story of my Dad losing one year in his Medical Doctor career for not having the most needed room and board, yet God provided for him being a loyal servant. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8.28) I am so glad that there’s no need of those regulations with God. He does not require money, intelligence, or any kind of effort on our doing, except, of course, our desire to belong because we believe and trust that He came to pay our debt with the Almighty One to justify our eternal life with Him: >For God so loved the World (anyone) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have Eternal Life. (John 3.16) We do not need to do anything because He (Jesus) did it all. We don’t have to boast for any work done for that is the result of our belief and that is our insurance that our name is registered in the Book of Life. Once we have believed, and show our faith working for the Lord and obeying His commands as proof of it, we do not have to be worried for the eternal anguish. Therefore there’s now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8.1) If we believe we get the Holy Spirit who dwells in us pleading for us: . . . the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. (Romans 8.26) We do not have to judge nor sentence anyone for doing wrong, only invite them to follow the Life in Jesus and answer Him. ”Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will dine with him and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne. (Revelation 3. 20,21a)

Have you already written your Apologetic Speech? Would you need one?

What are you going to tell the LORD when He asks you: What have you done to deserve the Eternal Life I came to offer everyone? (We only have to believe, but should ACT accordingly) Many people have chosen to obey all those who say that it’s OK to feel the way you want to, or do whatever feels “good” because it is all right in the modern world whose kings approve of. It could be fine in the world of today because the Modern kings need the $upporting peoples’ preferences instead of their discomfort so they can feel “good” too, even if their offer intentions will bring destruction, future dissatisfaction, and eternal death which is the result of sinning. That is why God is against them. He wants the best for the people He created even though many do not believe in Him, or think of Him as an Ogre, yet He came into our world to redeem us and take us to His real Kingdom, because God is HOLY. A prophet of the old world said the word that came to him from the Lord: “Long ago I broke your yoke and tore off your bonds; but you said ‘I will not serve!’ ” (Jeremiah 2.20) No matter how much the Lord knocks at your doors, and some people who know Him advise you, or even if you hear all kinds of real good testimonies, if you are stubborn listening to the wrong “smart kind” negative arguments, His Real Kingdom won’t be for you, UNLESS you wish to believe on, trust and ask HIM to save you from the malicious ones. For our struggle is NOT against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the powers, against forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6.12) And what do we know about the “Heavenly places”? If we are wise we can prepare ourselves for that time of darkness that is coming upon us by reading the Bible, asking the experts, and attending churches which offer eschatology courses. We are our worst enemy when wishing for what is NOT His Will. If you do not want to tremble or cry when you get to see Him face to face try getting to know Him, personally, TODAY. “For behold the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, So that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. “You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under your soles under your feet on the day that I’m preparing,” Says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 4.1-3) Happy Fathers Day to ALL!!!

Who is Advising us? Is he/she Trustworthy? Whenever we have an issue we need advice for, we usually look for a professional or somebody who we know is an expert on the subject. For sure we are not going to trust anyone who has no experience or has a poor “career” performance. We might like the person’s ideals, but if he/she shows immaturity, we are surely not going to give him/her the benefit of the doubt for we might lose; I could surely say we’d lose, for anyone who is immature must probably has not been accredited by the proper authority. And you could say Who’s authorized to do that? There are many ways anyone can be credited to give us advice on something important, but not everyone is fitted despite the effort, intelligence, advantage, means, in fact, we are all disqualified if we do not have the most important element, and that is FAITH. And not only in yourself or in whatever you are performing, but in the author of it, in the author of us, and of the whole Universe, Whom many of us do not acknowledge when something good happens. Some even accuse Him for not delivering them from any mishap as if He were indebted to us. NO, He is NOT indebted to us. We are the ones who are indebted to Him for leaving his kingdom and coming to this sin corrupted world in order to cleanse us and make us free, to be apt for living eternally, only for believing and trusting Him. Some may not believe that because they have not had the encounter they need to make them change and have a strong conviction. They must ask God in prayer to show Himself to them, for the times are bad and His coming is close. If we trust Him He will protect us when we ask Him. The Bible says: Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. (Psalm 127.1) If we are humble enough to ask God to be our advisor, He will keep us safe always and in the day on His Wrath when He comes to charge all the arrogant nonbelievers for their deeds on earth. One prophet said: Seek the Lord all you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances; seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.(Zephaniah 2.3) Our mothers could be good advisors if humble too, so we must congratulate them always. Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Are We in Peace with Ourselves?

We should be if we are doing things correctly. There are many people who are not doing things right and either are very unhappy or angry all the time. God made us at His image to live an abundance of life, with an eternal character. That means we are eternal for good or for bad, reason why we should be obedient to God’s Commandments, because God’s Kingdom is eternal and sinless. We cannot live forever fighting with each other, hating each other, envying, and doing everything God teaches NOT to do which are the deeds of the flesh; Paul said: The deeds of the flesh are . . . immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. (Galatians 5.19-21) We have ALL inherited the sin: For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3.23) This is why after the first woman disobeyed God and ate from the tree of good and bad knowledge and gave her husband, God kicked them out of the garden and angels kept guard of the tree of LIFE so they could not corrupt their eternity and ours too. Can you imagine not to ever have peace and live an eternity of constant death threatening and actually experiencing it? God created us to be happy and love one another. Thank God the tempter did not know where the Tree of Life was, otherwise we would have lost the opportunity to live in peace forever more, but some will. For many are called, but few are chosen. (Mathew 12. 14) The devil is bad and wants to destroy God’s creation, but God who is eternally merciful to His children came to rescue us and died in our place so we could be saved from evil and inherit his riches in life eternal. Before going back to heaven He gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit and the peace that surpasses all understanding, which makes us happy, gratefully singing, all the time. When we decide to live by the Spirit not even death can finish us. When we live only for our lusty desires we’ll inherit evil. We must connect with God’s Spirit to be forgiven. The apostle Paul said: But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULLNESS. GENTLENESS, SELFCONTROL; against such things, there’s no law. (Galatians 5. 22-23) This month we celebrate Jesus Christ’s victory over death. Let’s be in peace with ourselves and celebrate singing: ALLELUJAH, Christ is Risen!!!

Do we have a Good Insurance?

Insurance? The Dictionary says it is a “coverage” for things or people; a guarantee of protection against loss or peril. The business that takes care of it, of course, has to charge for the service and they have to confirm the danger because there’s a contract with certain stipulations, although people do not like to lose, when they really need it since they are always paying, needing it or not. On the other hand, some other people, on purpose, try to get back the money they have “lost” not realizing that it’s the business: You make a contract to pay whether you use it or not. You could say that’s not fair, but that’s the way it is. The business is for the owners to make money not for people to make money off them, unless of course the contract is to your favor, truthfully. That is the way everything works out in this world. There are many businesses that function well when the good rules are followed and their owners work hard to keep them good. And that’s what keeps them good or bad. In this world, though, where there is a free will for everyone there was one being created so perfect and beautiful who decided that he was the one who should be worshiped and no other. That is why he has tried, since then, to dethrone the Creator by lying to everyone who is too ignorant and believe him, reason for which there are so many who please him by doing horrible things, becoming his allies If we do not want to be ignorant, we should learn by reading the God inspired Scriptures so we know: 1) What happened since the beginning, reason why this world has fallen which brought problems to the people, and death to our world; 2) What will happen at the end of it; and 3) How we can fix the problem for ourselves. And can we? Of course NOT. Even when our schools and universities teach the diabolic theory of the “Evolution” we know our All Powerful God created everything because our Holy Bible says it: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1.1) Therefore, the rebelled being (The leader of the malicious spiritual powers, Satan, the adversary, the accuser, the devil with his policies) is the worse insurance to have for all those who want to “WIN”. The Good One is God. If you believe in Him you will NEVER BE ALONE in this fallen world. For our struggle is NOT against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6.12) And the ONLY ONE who can save us from them is GOD.

And God created the woman…?

Yes, He did, just like He created everything else. And it was all perfect. Everything has a reason to be the way it is. . .Did you know that the men have one rib less than the women? Do you know why? If you study the Word of God you can find out why, and it says: So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man and brought her to the man. The man said, “This is is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh (Genesis 2.21-24). Whoever does not care to believe this can be making plans where to stay the rest of Eternity. Since it’s become a fashion nowadays for Experts of the Unknown to speculate about what it means if one dresses one way or another, or if one made a gesture that a horrible person did too, I will also speculate and I am no expert, but I do read, study, and scrutinize anything that has to do with my Creator who came to protect me from evil so I know how to act to please Him. And like a Scripture teacher taught me He did not take a bone from the feet to make the woman or better, to not make her his slave (like they do in some places) nor did He take it from his head in order to rule over him, but He took it from the middle, close to his heart to love her and please her as the suitable helper God intended her to be so she could bear his children, care for them and educate them the way it should be so they learn godliness and not evil. God is great. He wants our goodness. I am a woman and I love it. We were made gentle to love too, not to fight or hate but to balance situations to keep things going great. That is the way God meant it; and whoever thinks otherwise they better read and study too so they find out God is in control and whoever does not honor Him will not ever win anything good; and if they do it is to comply with God’s will, although the person does not realize it, in order to prove His Omnipotence. There are many women who are great in everything they do because they have the GRACE and approval of God. That is why the wise man who wrote the book of Proverbs said it. I recommend to read the whole chapter 31st: An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and no evil all the days of her life. . .She looks well to the ways of her household, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; and so does her husband saying “Many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she will be praised (Proverbs 31. 10-12, 27-30) HAPPY VALENTINE’S TO ALL !!!

Are We Good Survivors?

If we are we can be thankful to God because that means that the “nightmare” passed away and then we can start a new life since He has given us the opportunity to have again. We have to give thanks to Him for He is the ONLY ONE Who can do anything for us not to perish in the evil ways we were conducting ourselves which brought about our sickness, or whatever we were suffering. Maybe it was not our doing or mistake but we should always be praying to the almighty God for the goodness of our loved ones which is everyone around us if we are faithful to His commandment: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Leviticus 19.18) And if we as survivors do not change our evil ways we are going to fall again in misery, that’s why we should be grateful God gave us another opportunity and avoid anything that can bring us evil. Do you know how? Very easy: start with the 10 commandments that are in the Word of God, the Bible (Exodus 20), and now that you are in it you can study it thoroughly to get the wisdom to be ready to be conquerors in any circumstance we may encounter knowing that God causes ALL things to work together for the good of who love Him. (Romans 8.28) When I was young I had an awful accident that left some bad consequences, but I survived, and decided not to “run away” from my hard and expensive responsibilities that it brought and stay with God’s help despite the devil’s temptations; my survivor daughters followed that too. When one of my daughters was diagnosed with cancer in the brain, lung, and its results, I prayed thinking that God’s purpose on our difficulties has a good meaning for the ones who love Him. I rested on that for I know death is not the end. She was operated and survived. The new appeared polyps have resulted negative. If you read the 8th Chapter of Romans you’ll know how God always look out for His followers so we can be good survivors. In this New Year we can overcome anything bad if we ask forgiveness, are obedient, be thankful and follow the good counsel of His Word like Peter said: For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eye witness of His Majesty.(2ndPeter 1.16) Think that anything is possible for God. And we, his followers can make a commitment with the LORD KING: I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM WHO STRENGTHENS ME (Philippians 4.13) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
