Second Deluge

Earlier this decade Noah God visited him and said:

Once again, the earth has made uninhabitable, overcrowded and full of selfishness. I must act urgently.

Build an ark and gather two of every living being, as well as for a woman and a man chooses the best match. You have 6 months before you send from heaven torrents of water for 40 days and 40 nights.

Six months later, the Lord, Noah revisited, found him taking a matecitos in place where it should be the ark.

-Noah Where is the Ark? Soon I will send rain, said the Lord.

'Forgive me, my God, times have changed. Noah said. I needed a municipal permit, for construction of the ark; I have had to perform many procedures, for several months.
During that time, my neighbors gathered in neighborhood assemblies, made roadblocks to protest the violation of the rules of coexistence, argued that would bring pollution problems.

I had to get a permit to cut wood enough, associations for environmental protection have prevented me from cutting down the trees necessary, arguing that some animal species in jeopardy, and everything related to global warming. I tried to explain that on the contrary, all that wood would save many species, nothing has worked.

At the same time try to collect pairs of different species, so the humane society forbade it under the guise of enclosing wild animals in spaces too small, I am accused of acts of cruelty as they too have their rights.

The Ministry of Labor also found me some questions. Volunteers keep me from hiring workers without social protection, while unions forbid me to use my own children; I do it with skilled workers.
Finally, Customs and the Department of Wildlife, accuse me of wanting to move across borders with recognized species in danger of extinction.

My God, you know I have always obeyed; you may need ten years to comply with your request.
Immediately, the clouds disappeared and the sky shone a splendid rainbow.

Noah looked skyward and said, 'Lord, then you will not destroy the Earth?

'No need, men are responsible, God said.

What a sad reality, every day we learn as it is undermining the foundations of our home, despite the large number of organizations dedicated to preserving life on our planet. They spend millions of dollars and seemingly everything goes from bad to worse.

The rules and laws imposed by men, we just have to live on bureaucracy, not to do anything for anyone, not for ourselves.


God sends many messages of our self-destruction, news of all kinds tell us that climate change can cause major disasters and we can be immersed.

"Despite all the setbacks he experienced Noah, God has an ark for salvation, at this time is inviting you to climb, I'm already in it, will you come?"



For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

Half or Whole?

Reading the blog of Bishop Macedo, I came across a thought that left me shocked. The share is to understand what he spoke:

A man comes into the church. He has no legs, but he can crawl...

He makes his way up to the altar...
Amazed, everyone watches in silence.
With tears welling up in his eyes, he asks the pastor:
- Pastor, do you think God would accept half of a man?
Everyone wonders what the pastor's answer will be.
At that moment, God spoke through the pastor and said:
- Yes, God accepts half a man, if he surrenders himself wholly to Him, but He does not accept a whole man who is only willing to give half of him!
How have you presented yourself unto God?
 

After reading it I thought about what is delivered in half or wholly to God.

When meditating, I realized that it reflected what was my life for some time and if you wonder why? I will tell you.

When people spoke to me to accept Jesus as my only Savior, and so change my life, I liked the idea very much, I was excited, but there was a small problem (or so I thought) it was not just asking and expecting things God, but also to give my life totally to Him

I started attending church and there, men and women of God guided me on how to give my life to God.
The main thing was to accept it as my only Lord and Savior, and subsequently abandon the things that displease God, like lying, hatred, bitterness, resentment, bad temper, envy, bad words, selfishness, and so on.

Yeah, it was easier to say than done, my way to accept him as my God, but it remained the same, still lying, hating people, saying bad words, my character was awful nervous.
I was just a person claiming to have God, but my life was completely different from what it should be, in fact, was far from having an intimate relationship with God, my attitude did not reflect a person born of the Spirit of God was apparently only a Christian, not even intended to have a commitment to God.
Because my life did not change was the same and in some ways worse, went to church just to go, my life remained a mess.

After some time, came problems that simply were too much for me, left me depressed and out of breath to carry on, my burden had become very heavy and difficult to bear.
It was at that moment I decided to go back to that Almighty Being so wonderful and he had often heard such a great way to transform lives.

This time take seriously give my life completely to God, stripped of evil, and love to follow it.
Sure, it was not easy to abandon the old life he had led for years, but this time the decision to please God, was stronger than anything else and eventually succeeded.
There was a change from one day to another, was a process that resulted in a transformed life.
There were struggles, sacrifices, trials, temptations, but this time God backed me and that gave me the strength to keep going every day.

Now he has filled my life with joy, peace, love, joy, has completely transformed me, everything I was before, there is nothing, I am a new creature, he gave me one of the most precious gift is salvation.

I currently have my experiences to help people speak of God to those in need, proclaiming his Gospel, because there is a longing in me that just as He became a new person, you can change your life.

Do not "deliver" in half, not as I do not miss your chance to be happy, today and now, give your body, mind and soul to Jesus, He will take care of you and what you need.


And after this, will you still delivered to you given half or full? The decision is yours and nobody else.

"In regard to your former way of living off the old man who is corrupted by its deceitful desires, renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, created according to God in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:22-24)


... And to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:19)

Rescue!!!!

Last Sunday there was a meeting of youth from the Church, was a very healthy living, dancing prepared by young, dynamic and fun, not forgetting that everything was done with much love for our greatest spectator JESUS.
At the end of the event the pastor to read a verse from the Bible, though very short, had much meaning. It was just like the Bible says: "The Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions the heart."(Hebrews 4:12)

Well verse was:
"He was like a burning and shining ..." (John 5:35)

Told us that life is so young when they are with God, are like a torch, but when you are away from him vulnerable to the wiles of the devil and that is when the torch goes out.

As the pastor spoke to myself thinking of the many young people now are far from God and their lives are not what they were waiting.

And if you say and what we can do for them if they made that decision themselves?


If perhaps they were the ones who made that bad decision, but we've all made bad decisions or not? But despite that God's love for us helps us to move forward with Him, that is why we under the guidance of the Holy Spirit can do something for these young people who have fallen away from God.
Whether guiding them, telling them of the love of God, to return to the arms of your Father who both loves and wants to see them happy.

Maybe you know someone who needs Jesus can be your family, friends, acquaintances, and so on.

We can start by talking about how God has transformed our lives and given us salvation to many people, encourage them to put their faith and trust in God.

We live in a world in which many young people believe that God is anything approaching "old" begin to make a difference, show the world that even in our youth, Jesus has made this the most wonderful stage and not boring as many think.

To join, I invite you to rescue young souls for Christ.

They should know that there are solutions to all your problems, let us who proclaim the good news of our Lord Jesus, do not expect others to do so, initiate us and now.

See good

A man had married a year.During that time, his wife always ironed shirts almost perfectly.
One day in the office, he found that his shirt was badly ironed, creased on the back.
When he got home, his wife claimed the mistake, which had made him walk all day with sack.
The claim, the woman replied: "For a year I've done things as you like, and I never thanked her, but now I've made a mistake, I complain about it."

I've heard people say that the world is wrong, and say things which alarmed.
The media are interested in publicizing the tragedy. They speak of the thousands of heroes who save lives, those who are touched by God and his life changes completely, those addicts who rise from their habit, or so many missionaries who carry peace.
We can´t ignore that many things go wrong, but we can´t say that all is lost, as many claim.Where is life, there is God, and therefore there is hope.

How long do we not sick? Sometimes years, but when sick, we call upon God, whenever grateful for every day we were healthy.

Let's stop complaining and start thanking, let us see the bad and look good.


"The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light, but when your eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Beware, then, lest the light in you is not light but darkness. So, if your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the light will be all, as when a lamp shines upon you. "(Luke 11:34-36)



My Best Friend!!

All throughout our lives we had friends, but there were those who did not deserve to be called so.

Perhaps betrayed your trust, were not there for you when you needed them, they gave you back when you asked them for help, speak evil of you, your friendship was concerned, so sincere., Etc.

When someone I trusted and believed good (a) friend (a), it is not, it hurts to realize the harsh reality is not it?

Well, today I want to tell you about a very special friend to me and I know that if you let it also be for you.

He wants to give you your sincere and pure love, never betray your trust, will be available to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, if you ask your help I will give it gladly, be attentive to everything you say and never blame you your evil deeds, contrary to advise you so you can move forward with your help, never judged, you correct them if necessary for you to renew your strength each time you feel weak, crying, those tears become in laughter, I feel comforted when distressed by the problems, to guide you along the way to reaching your goals and dreams, heal your wounds of the past, take care of you and love you as their greatest treasure, his side will not be afraid because it will be your protector and not leave you alone (a).

You might think it's too beautiful to be real. But let me tell you if there is!
That's so wonderful and special friend I told you about is Jesus.
 

"From heaven the Lord looked and saw all the children of men from the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashions their hearts alike; considers all their works "(Psalm 33:13).

Yes! He has been watching you with eyes of love, hoping that you accept offers of friendship. A he don´t care about your past, mind you repent of everything bad you did not do it again, not interested in your physical appearance, that we were created in the image and likeness of God.

He longs to be a happy person at his side, want to give you eternal life, the price of our salvation has already been paid by his death on the Cross, and His Precious Blood were bought and washed from our sins.

He just wants you to accept Him as your Lord, Savior, as your friend, to love him, you're loyal, obedient and do not deviate from its path.

In my opinion he does not ask things that we can´t give.

What he is waiting to hear from your lips is "Today, I want to make Jesus My Best Friend" and you begin to cultivate this precious friendship, as the most valuable gift you have been given.

I think a friend like him, will not find, is unsurpassed, perfect and can be the best friend you have had, if you let it.
When everyone leaves you, he stays with you that show his infinite love for you.


He is my best friend and what are you waiting for that is the case for you?

No one has greater love than this that one lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you. (John 15:13)

What each has

A rude person decided to give a gift to someone else for his birthday, but as actually despised, ironically ordered to prepare a tray full of trash and debris.

In the presence of all (because it gave pleasure to publicly humiliate), give the gift of command.

Gently, the birthday thanked and asked to wait a moment, and you would like to give back.

He threw the trash, washes the tray, covered with flowers, and returned with a paper which said: "Everyone gives what he has."

Do not be sad with the attitude of some people.


Do not lose your composure.
Master your emotional reactions.
Be master of yourself.
Do not throw fuel on the fire of his hatred.
Do not lose your cool.
Think before you speak and not give in to their impulsivity.


Save resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person dies.

Always give what you carry in your heart.

 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good and the evil of the evil treasure of his heart produces evil: for of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." Luke 6:45
