We should not condemn what we don't understand.

I know a story of 3 blind people that found an elephant, and each one was asked to describe the animal. Each one said a different thing: the first one affirmed that the elephant was like a big hose; the second one said, that it is like the end of a broom; and the third one said, that it resembled a log of a tree. Each one described the animal from their perspective. And none of them was correct or wrong; everybody spoke according to their personal point of view.
When we are humble enough to perceive that we are like the blind, limited in our capacity of perceiving the things that are directly in front of us. Not always what we see and think is wrong. It is just different because our thoughts distort situations and people, putting us in the position of a judge. And we should remember that our very own Lord said that He did not come to the world to judge, but to save. Imagine how each one of us should be?
Jesus warned us about the traps of judging others. Many times our judgments are based on information distorted by our way of being and that do not necessarily correspond to reality. Unfortunately I have made many mistakes, because so many times that I judged someone, because to my eyes this person was wrong. But in truth, after a long amount of time, I was to understand that there were many facts that I did know, and at that moment is where we fall into a trap, and we don't please God.

We should be certain that we know the complete truth, concerning the situation and the people so we can feel certainty, knowing that we dominate completely the situation and that nothing new will disturb us. The fear of the stranger is based on intolerance. He let us judge and label persons and things.
When we feel that kind of fear, we condemn what we do not understand...
Everything depends on our point of view, but the word of God teaches us: " For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:17
When we judge others, we condemn ourselves

Some steps that can be taken to receive answers in ours prayers

1) Maintain a pure heart: The fountain of life is in our heart, it is the center of our body. From it comes the bad and good feelings, resentments, envy, etc. How can God answer us, if our heart is occupied with feelings that do not please Him? In this case the first thing, beyond believing in God, is to ask Him to clean us and make of us a clean cup. It is necessary to have a broken heart, molded, humiliated and entirely reconstructed, we have to be ready to be molded by God. For example in the case of the wife who has the desire of her husband to be changed by God, thus the first person who should have a new heart is her- the wife.
2) Honestly: We have to be honest with God, and it is necessary that we talk with Him about our yearnings, anxieties, desires and to be honest in relation to what we want. Beginning a sincere dialogue, opening the door of our life, so God can enter, because nothing better exists than Him. Because He knows us. We can to hide something from anyone, other than Him. The word of God show us that He searches our heart...
3) Leave the control in the hands of God: Whatever the situation may be, it is necessary that our desire is in according to the desire God. And He will be able control our lives, we should determine what is it that we want through the our faith allied with our attitudes. But it is necessary to leave the control in the hands of God, not ours.
4) Don’t take attitudes that will stop the action of God: In other words wait for the action of God. Our attitudes many times prevents the action of God, and in this moment we stop trusting fully in the power of prayer, annulling the the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. That is why it is necessary to have a balance. And know exactly when it is time to act and not hinder what we want.
5) We should trust completely that He has the power: We should trust in Him, because He has the power to transform any situation. As we talked in previous articles, it isn’t easy. I myself, several times have impeded the action of God. Because there are moments we think we are trusting Him very much and when the difficult times come and we are tested, we let go of our confidence and look solely at the problem and it is at this moment that we fail.
If you think that your problem is big, it the actual problem that is saying: your God is small. But if you see your problem as being small, then you see that your God is big, and so much bigger than your problem.

Prayer: How to develop this power?

The prayer is not a way for us to control our husbands, sons or the persons that are near us. We have learned with God that it is exactly the contrary. The power of the prayer that exists inside of us is for us to use. But believing in the power of God to transform any situation, marriage, relationship, circumstances and moments or phases that you may be facing. I, myself, have used this power but in a wrong manner. I thought that only through my prayer God would do exactly what I wanted, but many times we commit mistakes for not listening to the voice of God and we don’t receive the blessings from God. For me the prayer is really a power inside of us, but God did not give it to us as a weapon to tame or dominate people, or for them to agree with our will. No!

But yes, the prayer is a marvelous tool that is at our disposition to be used with love and wisdom. For example: as the wife we should learn how to do more of what is correct, than to always want have the reason, criticize less and learn how to please more the husband, speak less and listen more to him. In regards to the children, be more of an example than to only give advice, listen to them more than complain, teach them about the errors rather than point the finger to them, and as Servants of God we should learn how to give more our life, to be the offering, because many times during the prayer, we ask so much of Him, but we aren’t able to do for Him as He deserves.

Doing this so, we will be inviting God to enter into the life of our family, so that they can take possession of the blessing and become happy people. Normally when the differences appear in the marriage or problems in the family, arguments between friends, or even inside the family occur, and usually, the prayer is always the last resource. We always look to discuss, ignore, confront, and debate or to even opt for silence, and everything without satisfactory results. But certainty when the prayer comes first, those unpleasant forms of acts can be avoided. And thus we learn to pray before taking actions, and there is the big secret of living in the dependency of God.

The Prayer associated with wisdom

After many experiences with God, and His fidelity through the answered prayers, we are able to say yes, prayer works! As each day goes by, we learn more but it isn’t always easy to learn how to stay in prayer while waiting for God to take control of the situation. I learned how to do this a long time ago, when I was facing a very difficult situation, and God spoke with me, allowing me to understand that my anxiety would only delay my blessings. When we are anxious, we are also creating room for doubts and doubts are the enemy of our faith, so I decided to let God act in my life and to take full control. Many times, when we speak to God about a problem and then say that we place it in His hands, time passes and our problems don’t seem to be resolved. What happens then, we end up trying to resolve it with our own hands. For example; when a husband begins to change his behavior in a negative way, which does not please God, or if a son or daughter begins to show signs of bad behavior, we trust in God through prayer, but after a certain time if we do not see results, we decide to take action in our own hands. We begin to complain, argue and even begin to speak things we should not say. When this occurs, God is not be able to do much more, since we decided to take action upon our hands. It is as if we are removing the problem from the hands of God and placing it in our own hands. At that moment, our prayer loses power. When we try to control our husbands or children with a huge list of things that we would like to see in them, we are acting wrongfully. We should never place our expectations on a person to change for themselves, or expect that he/she is going to change immediately, we should place our expectations in God, trusting that He is going to work in the life of that person and by His power, that person is going to be transformed. Sometimes, things that we may say or do can damage the plan that God has for us, therefore the best thing to do is to keep silent and pray. When we completely trust in the action of the Holy Spirit, everything changes. The form in which we see things can change and become clearer. A prayer associated with wisdom can do marvelous things and you can be sure, we have authority to stop evil from entering our lives and permit for the goodness of God to enter. Prayer is the supreme language of love, and through prayer when we use our authority, we are allowing God to transform our lives. God Bless!!!

Receiving a blessing is to bless

I received this great blessing that I spoke about in the beginning of this month from the hands of God. The condition to see my family after 7 years, because of our missionary life, sometimes it is hard to interrupt the work of God to visit our family, but this time God prepared everything. It was in reality a great blessing, and I thank God because He showed me that we are blessed when we bless. In these last number of years that we have been in the USA we have seen a lot of lives transformed, a lot of people were cured, matrimonies were restore and the salvation that arrived to the life of many people. And in each Church it is a marvelous experience. We meet people with different customs, different languages and always find a way to adapt ourselves to them so that the salvation can enter to the lives of everyone through our lives. In other words, we sacrifice to save families, transform lives, cure the sick; meanwhile God is taking care of our life and out family. When we bless these people, they, in truth, are blessing us, it is they that bless us, and it’s the assistants, the people, and each person that has come to us. The blessing is in the altar, to serve God, and bless these people. It’s the people themselves that are responsible for our own blessings. And we are blessed when we listen to a mother who suffers for her child, when we anoint the people who are sick, when we visit the sick in the hospitals, when we help those who are without exit, when we extend our hands to those in need, evangelizing in the streets, in those moments it is that we receive the blessing from God, when we serve the people and Him. The Holy Spirit has taught me this after these years that I have seen how much my family has changed, my brothers, much more united than before, financial blessings, in the health, and in every aspect, one can see the different of our lives. In other words, after this reflection once more we confirm that we are blessed is he who gives more than he who receives, and meanwhile we bless, we are blessed!

The Lord is never wrong!

There was a king who didn't believe in the workings of God. He had a servant that in every situation would say, “My king, do not grow weary because everything that God does is perfect. He is never wrong!

There was a day that they all left to hunt and a fierce animal attacked the king. His servant managed to kill the animal, but he wasn't able to prevent his majesty from losing a finger.

Furious and without showing gratitude for being saved, the noble said, “God is good? If He was indeed good, the animal would not have attacked me and I wouldn't have lost my finger.

The servant merely responded: “My king, even though all these things happen, I can simply say that God is good; and He knows the reason behind all the things.
Everything that God does is perfect. He is never wrong!” Indignant with the response, the king ordered that the servant be imprisoned.

Some time later, he left on another hunt and was captured by some savage villagers that were in the jungle and performed human sacrifices.

When he was on the altar, ready to sacrifice the noble king, the savage villagers noticed that the victim didn't have one of his fingers and decided to liberate the king: he wasn't perfect to be sacrificed to the gods.

When he returned to the palace, he asked to liberate his servant and he received him with a lot of appreciation and affection. My dear, God was truly good to me! I escaped from being sacrificed by the savage villagers, precisely because I didn't have a finger! But I only have one doubt: if God is so good, why did He permit that you, who defends him so much, be imprisoned?

My king, if I would have gone with you on that hunt, I would have been sacrificed in your place, because I am not missing any finger and I am perfect.

He is never wrong! A lot of times we complain because of our life and supposedly bad things happen, forgetting that nothings out of casualness and everything has a purpose.

Every day offer your day to God, before beginning your daily chores. Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your attitudes, guide your sentiments. And do not be afraid, because, God NEVER ERRORS!

Do you know why you read this message? I don't know, but God knows, because He is never wrong.....

The path of God is perfect and His word without impurities. And in the Bible, it is written:
“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:” Psalm 37:5

The confidence in God makes part of the faith that we have inside of us, if we give our path to the Lord and use our faith, then everything that happens to us, comes from His hands. Even the deserts of life that help fortify us and transform us into better people of God.

Healthy heart

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve." [Jeremiah 9:10]
Maintaining a wise heart that is an expert to follow the path of God needs a special dedication. Because of the sins in this world when we do not watch out we turn ourselves into “cardinal beings” and no longer spiritual.
Our heart is the intimate control center of our body that thinks, feels and does things. It fills up with a lot of malignant thoughts, trickery, envy, conceit, jealousy and nonsense. Giving health to our heart begins with an ardent fear towards the Lord. It demands that we distance ourselves from those who try to lead us to a life of excessive doses of pleasure, bad friendships, people who will harm us spiritually, etc. We have to pull them out as bad weeds, our bad thoughts, desire and motives, and fill our mind with true thoughts, pure and pleasant. We should listen with care the certain sources of nourishment.
I was reading the Bible” My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad; [Proverbs 23:15] Imagine when out heart is wise we also delight the heart of God and when we say things correctly we exult the intimate of the Lord. That is very strong!!! Because of this, we have to meditate: if, on the contrary, when our heart is not wise we sadden the Lord and when we speak of nonsense even the Lord becomes sadden. So it is important to guard our heart and protect it from the “cardinal” and “spiritual” sicknesses of this world. To keep this heart only to please God and to maintain a daily communion with God because every day, our eyes, see motives to nauseate our heart, but when our heart has the protection, which is the wisdom and the communion with God then it will remain strong and healthy. Without the “spiritual” sicknesses and at every day, humiliating ourselves before God so that His mercy and compassion could remain in our lives.

Shielding our heart!
