A life transformed

How long oh Lord ? that is the cry that trough out the ages has been heard from the suffering , from the persecuted from the oppressed and it seems that God doesn't hear. where was God when my Father died said the woman looking at me with Anger mixed with pain and suffering . since her Dad was killed by a drunk driver, life got really bad for her , she was sexually abused by her step father , she told me how at a young age she had to leave the house and live on the streets , she became addicted to drugs and sold her body to pay for her drugs .she was in her early 30's but her appearance showed the abuse she had done to her life .I had spoke about the love of God , how much Jesus loves us and has a plan for our lives . She could not believe it , I didn't try to answer why all those things happened to her but I just told her that one day , God himself will wipe away the tear from our eyes ( Rev 21:4) and How God is soon going to put an end to this crazy world .I told her that Jesus suffered as she was going through these things and that one day, Satan the one who causes all this suffering will be destroyed .I told her how much God suffered when Jesus died on the cross and that reason he did that is so we can be with him forever .That night , something changed , I could see the power of the gospel working in this woman , I left that place and one day somebody call my name , it was Blanca , she was smiling , I could see the healing that had taken place in her life , she had married and they had two children , I pray with them and my heart rejoiced greatly seeing the transformation of life . As the hymn says " there is power in the blood" yes there is power in the blood of Jesus . I don't know what you might be going right now , I don't know how heavy is your burden . I just know that Jesus says " come unto me all those who labor and are carry heavy burdens and I will give rest " I long to have that rest knowing that I have surrender all to Jesus , Would you like to do that ? tell Jesus how you feel , he is our best friend.

Sudden intervention

So far as world conditions are concern , No change for the better is promised in the bible , this is not pessimism . It is scriptural truth . I am concern when Christians think that change can come into this world if we just elect " the right leaders ". 2 Timothy 3:1-5 "You can be certain that in the last days there will be some very hard times. 2People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud, stuck-up, rude, and disobedient to their parents. They will also be ungrateful, godless, 3heartless, and hateful. Their words will be cruel, and they will have no self-control or pity. These people will hate everything that is good. 4They will be sneaky, reckless, and puffed up with pride. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure. 5Even though they will make a show of being religious, their religion won't be real. Don't have anything to do with such people. ( contemporary English version ) Today the forces of darkness and unrighteousness are everywhere in the ascendancy . Men may construct theories proclaiming the gospel of gradual improvement of the saving of civilization as we know it , but the Holy spirit denies it. Christ said " My kingdom is not of this world ( John 18:36) Christ is pictured as the rider on the white horse leading the armies of heaven . he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. ( Rev 19:15,16) His return is sudden , catastrophic . It breaks in upon the world with terrifying suddenness. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. ( 1 Thessalonians 5:3) The return of Christ means an entire new order from above not from within . How can we be part of that ? The invitation has been given and continues to go , Jesus is calling each one of us , he says " come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest . You might say I already know Jesus , but knowing Jesus is an ongoing process ,it never stops , we need to walk with God daily . abiding in him , staying connected , living for him and willing to die for him . It is that what you want , what you desire , I invite you to pray right now and ask Jesus for a new experience with him , and for faith to believe in his promises not just for forgiveness of sin but also for power to overcome sin in your life .

To live is Christ .

We live in an age where people live in search of " happiness " some spend all their money trying to buy things and thinking that "if I can have that, I will be happy " other give themselves to sexual passions and spend their lives seeking for meaning in life ,doing those things which are the privilege of marrieage , the words " fornication and adultery " are foreign to many today .Families , spent all their savings going and gambling what they could have used to benifit the one who is need . Life in this posmodern age ,has become self centered , and people kill to steal that which they can not have . The word of God , gives us timeless lessons of faith and surrender , the apostle Paul in the book of Philipians says " For me to live is Christ and to die is gain" What ! To live is christ ? in America we have freedom , and we can say "Iam a christian " and the most people can do is , laugh at you . But in the time of the apostle Paul to be A Christian was to be willing to die for Christ , in fact , when the apostle wrote those words , he was a prisoner for preaching the gospel . Many of us , say today that we are Christians , but our lives deny our own words , there is no difference between the person who believes in God and the Atheist , both live the same way ! But not Paul , the question we need to ask is , if we know that we are not doing good , how can we get right with God , How can we have that passion for Christ , ready to die for him. I want to submit to you ,that we need to see Christ , the apostle Paul in his way to Damascus , he met Jesus and after that his life was not the same . Have you met Jesus ,really ? Has your life change ? are you doing the same things you were doing before , with the only difference that now you hide ? friends is time to surrender our lives to Jesus and to trust him as his word , and to learn to live by everyword that preceeds out of the mouth of God . Blessings in the name of Jesus .
