This is the journey God has taken me , growing up during the civil war in El salvador , coming to the United States as an illegal alien and working in the fields in Washington state to Seminary at Andrews University and using me to minister to those who are suffering .

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 .
