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…)

“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…)

I have decided to keep as many dreams as possible. I am dreamer and I am proud of it.

WHY?

It is easy; God put all those dreams into my heart. For that, I am happy to keep them every single day. I am happy to take them along with me mornings and nights. By dreaming I can know the marvelous things God has for me. (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…)

The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. He thrusts out the enemy before you; it is he who cries, `Destroy them!’

Deuteronomy 33:27

 

I love to rest in the everlasting arms of my God, he has been so good to me, sometimes I have tried to find rest in other places, buy I know that I won’t find in other places what only My God gives me. (more…)
