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…)

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41: 10 (NLT)

There are moments in life where it seems like God is hidden, times where no matter how hard we pray; it seems that He does not hear or does not want to answer us. (more…)

2 Corinthians 5:7 “That is why we live by believing and not by seeing” (NLT)

I consider myself one of God´s favorites; for He has allowed me to receive all of his promises by believing in Him with all my heart. In His word I found all the strength and braveness that I needed. I look back 5 years ago, and all I see is a lost being that found a light in the darkness, that led his path to freedom. 

I discovered that the only way to get God´s favor is to walk by faith. I believed in what it could not be seen, I had to believe that it was not only a dream that experience of salvation. I had to believe the Lord spoke to me; even though people called me a nut. I learned that having faith is not exactly thinking, but going forward when you see nothing at all.

Believing in God is holding tight with all your heart to the freedom you received, and facing the fears that poison your soul. Believing in God means obedience, and leave behind our sinful nature. I learned to surrender totally to His plans, and allowed Him to take me to the promise land. I learned that after pain, comes a hug of our loving Father.  (more…)
