Romans 6:16


Flesh and spirit is in us, coming to Christ our sinful nature died with Him on the cross. With the spirit we can kill our flesh desires that could come up to our lives. To obey God is to accept His grace and be free to say no to our humanly acts. His blood justifies us, God doesn’t see our sin anymore but He sees Jesus in us as He is our advocate. 

He has a plan to our lives, for him there is no such thing as time.. He is eternal. He created us, nobody knows us better than God. How shall we be scared of our lives or our future? Once I was lost in fear and anxiety.. I didn’t know if I was going to be able to make it. Failing wasn’t accepted for my life, but everything seemed to be going wrong, as if I wasn’t capable of doing things right. 

I found out that I was keeping Jesus away from my plans. Also that I created a God for my own sake, a God that works for my dreams; when truly.. is the other way around. He created me for His own purposes and plans. I didn’t want to surrender my life because I was in comfort studying in the best school,  I have met good friends and had good connections. I kept trying to introduce Jesus on what I wanted, as time past by I could always see His love, caring, and mercy but I didn’t felt approved. My life wasn’t pure in His holiness, I wasn’t obeying at all.

The process of my calling has been always there, but lately like things were working towards a time that I needed a truly encounter with Him. Encounter that I have decided to have daily because my life isn’t mine anymore, it is His now. I have no more fear that what I am doing is going to fail, His calling is what approves me and for that He works in and through me. Even though sometimes I don’t feel like obeying, I remember of my old me who wondered and obeyed to what the culture said but who failed several times. With the help of the HS, my flesh is beaten and I surrender me as a living sacrifice to Him and His will. Before I obeyed my flesh and died, now I obey Him and live.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Hebrews 11:1

It seems that for all our lives and during every phase, we humans actually keep on wishing, wanting, and expecting  for something to happen or to come up to. Most of us will be influenced by the circumstances in our lives and the words of other people. It seems that we are constantly under pressure and bombarded with things that we don’t  even expect; like if we would become the person that the circumstances are dictating or what other people  are saying. Our expectations of life and the desires or hopes of our heart are biased to the wrong way.  Hebrews helps us define what faith really is, if we pay close attention. It is faith that is what holds all of these points, letting  us know what really is going wrong is our faith’s direction. We have the steering wheel of our own faith, it is us who  decide where we want it to be anchored or to whom or what we rely it on.  During my life I have been always a dreamer, having life goals, and constantly looking towards the

Luke 21:19

While I was thinking of standing still, a soldier was illustrated in my mind. When a superior calls a soldier to stand still, the soldier must leave whatever he is doing and come up firming his body. Then he has an attitude of listener, because the superior surely has something important to say. After the superior finishes his command, the soldier must wait until he has permitted to “relax”.  We can take certain points out of this illustration. The soldier has attitudes of obedience, service, and discipline. Jesus is our chief in command and we are his soldiers, we have to fight for souls. As any soldier, we need to look sharp and in shape. Otherwise we are going to die. We shall seek Jesus daily to know him more and delight ourselves in Him; so that our faces can reflect Him. Our ears need to be sensible to His voice, in a battle of so much noise and action, confusing a command from a different source will have terrible consequences. Our most important weapon is His word, sharper
