What a World we live in...

I ask myself many questions and wonder why is there so much violence in recent years and it just keeps getting worst. We want to have freedom and peace, love one another, then comes hate and fear to hunt us. What is this world coming to? What about our children and their future? It makes us feel insecure and question many things, specially God. If He is the creator and He is love, where is God in the equation? I think we should ask first, if God is even part of the equation when such events happen. You see God is the creator of all things, and he created them for us to enjoy and cherish. However, His will for our life is not what most seek. This is where our "Free Will" given to us by God comes in. Fear your God, love and praise His name, but we have fell to do just that. God's protection is where he is welcome. If we do not seek his will, through his word, proclaim his promises,but we do just the opposite, then we will not receive His blessings. We are his creation, but each individual makes the choice to go on the narrow path(God's way) or the wide path(pleasures,sin, worldly things) in life. God wants your love, but he is a gentlemen; he will not make anyone love him, he patiently awaits the day we individually realize God is what we really need in our heart. This world is growing colder, it is biblical and it is happening, why? because we choose our way, our sin nature, making God displeased. Many think that this world is it, that we have to build our riches and fulfill our dreams with all that this world offers. We are all going to die anyways! We all have to face that day sooner or later. Right? BUT, the bible says that we are foolish to belief that this world is all there is, we are foolish to belief we are to build riches in this world. YES, FOOLISH PEOPLE do everything, " my way or the highway". God's word says that all things from this world, your metals, possessions, beauty will end and for what? moments of temporary selfish pleasures, to end up not taking any of these things with you when you die. PLUS, if you live your life thinking you have accomplished many good things,and overall have been a good person, you are going to heaven-WRONG!First we need to accepted the Son of God, Jesus, as your Savior, if not your final destination is eternal pain and suffering. So, DO NOT FOOL yourself, thinking good people go to heaven, just for good deeds,and going to church; no, you are wrong. We have to open our heart and let Him in, to see His Glory and have heaven as our eternal home. You see, because of Adam's disobedience in the Garden of Eden, we are ALL separated, fall short from the Glory of God (Romans3:23). God loves each one of us, his Grace and forgiveness is always there for us to have, as long as we are breathing you can be redeemed. His word says that his people perish because they have no knowledge of the Truth. His word says that we have to seek his justice and kingdom first.To seek his face and to be Holy as Jesus was Holy, who had no sin, but became sin for us; died a horrible death for all of us to be saved. Most amazing is that God says in his word that if we confess Him as our only and True God,  repent from bad doings, and ask for forgiveness, he will hear our cry and he will heal our land. What awesome promise of His love for us. The bible says that God is slow in anger and fast to forgive(Grace).
With this in mind, we know by His word that we are in the wrong path if we seek human glory and pleasures as a way of life. If you choose to life your way, with your own strength be ready to suffer the consequences. HERE IS THE CATCH, REALLY... God promises me and you that in this world we will have afflictions, but no to worry because he has conquer all(Resurrection) and he will be with us through it all. His Glory in our life will shine, and we are victorious. In God we have hope, we have endless joy, no matter what your present situation is. We are all here for a reason, and if you want, I mean really want, to know why you are here today, seek God's will in all you do. He promises blessings that are far from what you can imaging, not just for you, but for your home and family. You will realize what really matters in life(life purpose), and will know for sure that your eternal home will be with our Heavenly Father. Be wise to seek God in all you do, to always be humble, and allow God to work on you, to shape you to be what he wants you to be(Great work of Art). You will find the most amazing Joy, Peace and Love in the process. It is a sure thing! All His promises in the Bible are ours to take, all we have to do is be worthy of Him. The journey begins TODAY! Do not delay, for God extends our life as we choose to follow Him, however, we do not know how long is our stay here on earth- You will know for sure heaven will be your eternal home. Let's make our stay on Earth a lasting impression for God's Glory, helping others see His truth and receiving all the blessing we are deserving of from our Father.
Say this prayer:
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me to do your will daily. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

As you pray this prayers angels are singing and celebrating a new soul of salvation :)

Please allow God to show you His purpose in you, seek a church, and join the church, use your talents helping others find the Truth. The Truth sets you free and gives hope <3

GOD BLESS,

When I feel Down... There is only one thing to do.

I can only tell you that life will bring trials, and I praise the Lord for each one of them. Why? Because without those trials I most likely would not be stronger, wiser, happier and as spiritual as I could be. Most importantly, I grow to be better as a whole. I tell myself all the time I have to start with me, me and me. It would be wonderful if people can adjust to my thoughts and my emotions. However, 99% of the time I will agree to something, and many others do not. I have to tell myself we are all different, and we all have unique qualities. God has given us many gifts, we are all gifted. We just need to develop our gifts, and belief we have those gifts to use, to bless others. With that in mind, I see each difference as a quality...so hard sometimes, but we can turn it around for the better, if we focus on the positive aspects of it and use it to help others. It can be done!
Okay, so we feel down because of certain circumstances in our life. What to do? I see there is only two clear options: 1- To sit and cry about it, not believing in yourself and relying on others to predict your life, OR you can stand up, hold Gods hand, and take actions that will change the situation for better. I struggle with many things in life, but God has given me the strength to go on, to reach each goal and achieve wonderful things. You will be surprised many times, after a struggled, God comes and lifts me up in such amazing ways. That is how, I know I am in the right path. I can not describe what joy, what peace, what awesomeness is to feel His love, and grace. I know, I am not perfect and most likely will mess up in many things as I go; however, God sees my heart, my will to seek his way, and He will hold my hand through it all.  It does not matter if we feel unworthy, God loves you, and you are worthy of his promises. All you have to do is ask God to enter your life, your heart and His Spirit will do the rest. Jesus Christ, has taken the blame for us at Calvary, the blood he shed cleansed our sins, and we are worthy of Him. I dare you today to hold God's hand, so He can take over your circumstance(s) at the moment. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Once, you do this, find ways to show God you are willing to hold His hand. Find a church, join a church ministry, read his Word, and praise Him for what He is and What He has done. Go ahead what are you waiting for! Watch him work!

God Bless!

Isaiah 40:29-31 New International Version (NIV)
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.


Revelation 1:5 New International Version (NIV)
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Luke 4:18-19 New International Version (NIV)
1“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Search my heart
And search my soul
There's nothing else
That I want more
Shine Your light
And show Your face
In my life
Lord have Your way
With all my heart and all my soul

With all I am, Lord, I will follow You
H
ear my cry
And hear my prayer
Draw me close
I know your near
So with all my heart and all my soul
With all I am, Lord, I will follow You
You took the cross, You took my shame

Restored my life, now I live to worship You

Without You I am nothing

Without You I am nothing
Without You I am nothing
