freedom3There are a lot of religions, sects and movements in the world; though not all of them deliver souls from slavery, sin and hell. There is only One that can set free from anything and Jesus is His name. There may be many ways in which people seek freedom and fulfillment, but none of them offer everlasting life and God himself dwelling among them as Christianity.

What Jesus did in the Cross gave Him authority over everything; to set free captives, to heal the sick, to restore the broken, to bring joy to the depressive, to sanctify sinners and to brake any yoke of darkness. Only trough Jesus salvation can be found. There is no other way of going to heaven. No matter how attractive seem other gods, they can’t offer what Jesus can: true freedom. (more…)

What happens when you start forgetting why do you do it? I mean, it used to be the greatest privilege and now it has become a burden. Living for God without Jesus is consuming. Family is still out there, ministry, work and the task list, though the joy is missing.

A Christian living without Jesus is simply a gun with no bullets, an eagle with wounded wings, a car with no engine, a singer that lost his voice. It’s a life with no meaning at all. Its leaving the Jesus factor out of our lives.

Jesus said it this way:

“Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.” Revelation 2:4  New International Version (NIV) (more…)

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, Romans: 5:20

How difficult is to face a situation when we know we have caused something that was wrong and brings a sense of guilt.

Each of us knows which areas of our lives are vulnerable and easy for us to fall.

How do you present yourself again before God to ask forgiveness for something you’ve tried to cast away? What can we say when we are in His presence and we fell into that sin again? (more…)

“Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5

The most common mistake of missing out God´s blessings is not to dimension accurately what Jesus did on the Cross. Jesus not only paid the price of salvation for all humanity, but for them to be whole, healed an at all times in peace. Nevertheless to receive it, we have to believe it. (more…)

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 (New Living Translation)

At 25 I met God´s grace and the power of Jesus. I had turned the life God gave me into a waste, backed up by a bottle of alcohol. My dreams lacked of transcendence, I just wanted to get by life. Alcohol got everything out of me, and when I was really lost, it happened. I heard that there was someone with enough power to set me free me and restore me; and his name was Jesus. I invited Him into my heart and He gave a new name, saved me and cleansed me. Being my surprise that He did not called me full of shame but loved one, not waste but masterpiece. (more…)
