Almost the Sabbath!

i get so excited about thurs because i have bible studies with Tia Mara and i know tomorrow the sabbath starts. before fridays and saturdays would be my favorite time of the week because it including me going out wit friends or my girls from the 304 and doing stuff that looking back on was a waste of time and not good for me. but now i get to happy that i get to go to God's house and worship him and give him thanks for another week he gave me of life! many people have heard that saying life is short but we just really dont know how short it really is. we have to thank God every single day for being alive because even though we are alive.. there are a lot of people dying that every same day. two weeks ago three different people died in that weekend who i knew. one of them being a man who was a god-father to me, another one who i knew since i was a little girl because my aunt worked for him since i could remember and i would sleep over, and another little person i didnt get to meet but was so excited to think i was. and we should feel lucky if you are reading this because it means God blessed you with another day. and i started thinking what if i were to die tomorrow... am i ready to go to judgement day... am i ready to stand in front of God Almighty and have him review my life. Am i ready to tell God what i did for him or what i wanted to do? i would love to see God tomorrow... even today but i'm not ready to go yet because i have not saved any souls for Jesus. i have not spoken to the world that Jesus Saves... i have not preached that God loves you to enough people.. i'm not ready or worthy to be in front of God yet... but it would be great. when we die i thought it was a sad feeling... someone else who we loved died... very sad and tragic... but God has given them rest! rest from this evil, corrupted, sinful world... a world where everyday people are getting killed, raped, beated, are stressing out to pay bills, or what they are going to eat... we are always on a defense mode because we cant really trust anyone. so when God picks you up.. your battle with satan is over! but did we complete our mission? our mission to get help others find and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior... if you already found salvation and forgiveness... is it fair to be at home and letting satan have another soul! NO! the same way i found Jesus i can help overs find him too! i was an unbeliever! i'm the type of person who loves stuff that is logical! i need things to make sense and to be shown to me why they make sense. but with God... all things are about having faith because all the answers to lifes question cant be revealed just yet... in Heaven you will have all your answers but will it even matter? Just thinking that one day by the grace of God i might even be near him... nothing else matters... what about this and what about that?!?!? who cares! doesnt it matter that God loves you... you who were made of DUST and that God has mercy on us to even call us his children! does that not matter?!?! PRAISE GOD!!!

There was this story i heard in church this weekend and i would like to share with you... a girl was so sad of this world and the devil appeared and told her to sell him her soul for ten million dollars and she said ok and the devil said he would be back the next night to pick it up. she told an elder in church and the elder said that if she gives her soul to the devil she will be lost forever! so she changed her mind and doesnt want to sell her soul anymore so they both start praying. the next night the enemy returns to pick up her soul and she is praying to God please help me i have changed my mind.. then comes in this white light and its Jesus. The enemy said you cant have this soul i have paid ten million dollars of it but Jesus says i paid for her soul with my life! Praise Jesus because he died for you... so its only fair for us to live for him!

Let us be ready for when Jesus returns that we may stay on track trying to help lost souls find there place in the kingdom of heaven with our Heavenly Father!

church songs

in church when they start singing i get excited because i love praising God and its crazy how a single song can touch you so much that makes you cry. and i start thinking wow i'm such a cry baby but its because i feel God presence and the Holy Spirit is moving freely and how can i not cry out of joy! i love my God and his spirit that is inside of me wants more and more of him and just gets so happy when we are praising him!

and some songs are just how you are feeling at that moment or describe your situation but it all involves God being there for you or how we should live more for him! i wish i could sing him a million melodies like the angels do and even though my voice is horrible and i know God loves it when i sing for him (in my own house, no one is there except derwin then he starts complaining so i have to stop lol) because he knows it comes from the heart and my intentions are good i was want to glorify him! May God bless you!

church

when i started visiting derwin church in 06 i was positive i was never going to be apart of it! and it was insane how the service is almost 2 1/2 hours long! it was crazy and boring and a lot of singing and someone saying Jesus loves you blah blah blah! NOW its like i'm eating my words! i Praise God because he touched me, he blessed me and now i'm after him like white on rice! i want to be in church every single day of the week, month, yr! we go to church on fri, sat, and sunday and yet it is not enough. 2 1/2- 3 hours of church is not enough anymore it doesnt satisfy me! i have fallen so in love with God and i cant wait until Jesus returns because i'm not going to be those people who are running and hiding in the caves hiding from Jesus' wrath like the bible says.. i'm excited and ready for Jesus's return because i'm his child and i want to see him and be with him and stop living in such a corrupted, sinful world. in heaven there will be no more tears and we will spend our days for eternity PRASING GOD's NAME!!! i cant wait! during bible study tia mara told us that when Jesus returns we are going to be with him for a thousand years and then we would return to earth but before she finished explaining i started crying because i thought i was only going to be with Jesus for a 1,000 yrs and return to earth and it made me sad because i want to spend billions and trillions times millions of years with Jesus and a thousand is just not enough! but what i didnt let her finish was that we were returning to pick up the people who changed their minds and accepted Jesus. so i am going to be with him Forever! (God willing)

now i want to be involved in church, i want to preach, to sing (God willing he will give me a voice), to tell people Jesus loves you because he really does love us. who else would die for you? would you die for someone who didnt believe in you, who you didnt even know? Jesus is beyond anything i can describe and i hope i can be used to tell others about him. i want to always praise his name and i want my last breathe to be used to spoke of Jesus and his love. May God bless you!

preaching

God willing i will be preaching this sunday and i'm a bit nervous because my spanish is not perfect but i know it will be the Holy Spirit speaking and not i because he has told me so and i have faith! i hope people understand what i am saying and that at least one person is touched with my message that i received from God in a dream. may God bless you!

directed

i directed this past sunday service and i was sooo nervous! but everyone said i did it very well and once i started i didnt want to stop talking lol but i had to because people had to sing. the title was "tell me about Jesus". what is means is that we need to tell others more about Jesus for the people who dont really know the whole story or the background and the purpose of Jesus and God's beautiful and perfect plan! A lot of people do not realize that Jesus came to save the Jews but since the Gentiles which is people who are not Jews had more faith in Jesus and actually believed he is the son of God, Jesus gave the Gentiles an opportunity to find salvation too. So we who are not Jews are adopted to this promise God made with Abraham because we had fatih.

We who are the people teaching need to understand what Jesus would do: heal sickness, cast out demons, preach the word, brought people bought up from the dead because we who have the Holy Spirit have the same powers that Jesus has. and if we have faith we can move mountains. And Jesus came to save us but his purpose for us is to do the same works he did but greater because now he is with his father in Heaven sitting at his right hand side. John 14:12 Truly, Truly, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. and our great commission is to "'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'" Matt 28:19-20
and it says it in my message when i received the Holy Spirit that the Great Commission is to baptize people who believe and repent.
