No matter what, God is with me.

First time blogging through iPhone! God is good!

I am sitting here on the comfortable couch, looking at my emails, facebook postings, and doing some work for the church and preparing for the new start of Grace Mission Church.  I was pondering about my new responsibilities as a pastor and I asked God, "What can I do to please you?" and the very thing He said was to, "Bring the souls to Salvation by the Blood of Christ."  And it dawned on me that God wants His children back because He loves them.  If God didn't love His children, then why would Jesus die on the Cross for us?  Hmmm, makes me realize how much our Lord Jesus Christ loves us because He sacrificed His Life for us on the Calvary. God loves us all and because we are saved by Grace, not by works, He wants us to be blessed not because we are doing right but because of what Jesus did right and as a sinless man, He deserved to be blessed than us because we are sinners.  But because we accepted Christ, His righteousness became our GIFT!  Oh praise the Lord!  We are the righteousness of God in Christ!  

God is a wonderful Father to me.  He have blessed me and put me in a place where I can preach the wonderful Gospel of Christ!  I am now a pastor at Bethel Deaf Fellowship and it has be a great month so far!  Hallelujah! 

We should thank Jesus for the Freedeom. Salvation is free for us but cost God everything. It cost God's Son, Jesus Christ, His Life on the Cross to pay for all of our sins! We should put God first in everything in our lives. May God bless America and the whole world. We need Jesus in the World as our Saviour.

WOW! It has been a long times since I have blogged on this site since September of 2009!

I am sitting in my little office right next to the laundry room and told myself, Thank you Abba for my home, family, and most of all, Jesus! Without Jesus, I can do nothing! So I am just resting in Him and getting ready to do a sermon about Christ on the Cross. I am so excited to spread the Word to the Deaf and Hearing world!

We all know that Jesus died not because He have to, but because He loved us! It's not the nails that kept him on the Cross, it's His Love! Oh Hallejuah! When He died, all of our past, present and future sins are paid for! We are able to recieve the gift of righteouness, no condemnation, abundance of grace and MUCH MORE! I love Jesus! Thank God I am imperfect so that He can use me! I want my sermons to be all about Jesus and His finished work. I want people to know how beautiful He is, how lovely He is and How Awesome our Lord is to us!

It's time to separate Old Covenant (LAW) and New Covenant (GRACE) and live under Grace. Grace is JESUS CHRIST! It's time to bring the Gospel back to America!

Let’s read Matthew 6:25-31

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

These verses are saying to all of us, DO NOT WORRY, about anything! The more we worry about things in life, the more likely we will get sick from stress, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, heart attacks from anger and frustrations, and depression!. Remember that God the Father knows what we all need in this life. When we worry or try to do everything ourselves, our Father can’t have any room to bless us!

That’s why Father wants us all to rest in Him. When we rest in Him and cast all our care upon Him, we get peace, joy and calmness in our hearts. Stress can cause all kind of sickness and depression. When we Rest in Him, we give all our problems and stress in our life to Christ and He will give us Rest! Look up to the Cross and remember what He have done for us. He have given us all the Blessings that Jesus deserves! So let’s give Jesus all the Praise!

We automatically have an enemy called Satan when we were born into this world. He is the enemy of every person in this world. It doesn't matter if some believes in God or not, Satan hates us because we are made in God's image.

Thank our Father in Heaven that He gave us an Armour to wear! The Bible teaches us that we don't have to cope with our problems, it teaches us how to walk in victory! We have everything in Christ once we accept Him as our Saviour. Ephesians 1:3 says, "Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ." We already have been blessed with EVERYTHING! In Christ, we have eternal life, all the promises of God in teh Bible, the Holy Spirit and we can have all the fruits of the Spirit. The reason why the Devil (Satan) pays extra attention to believers is not only becasue we have everything, it's because we are made in God's image.

Now, let's read the verses on Ephesians 6:10-18 :
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints

The first piece of armour is the Belt of Truth. When we first got saved by accepting Christ our Saviour, our lives changed because we recieved the Truth. We are set free by Christ when He gave us the Truth. Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)

Satan loves to play mind games with all of us. One thing that he doesn't like is when we know the Truth. The more we know the Truth, the more the devil can not play games with our minds. Devil don't like it when we know the Truth because it will set us Free!
Thank you Father for the Belt of Truth! Thank you for the Armour you have given us so that we can stand against the defeated Devil! Becuase Jesus died on the Cross, the Devil was and is still defeated! We will stand tall and have Victory in the Blood of Christ. Amen!

A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and out of the cold.

The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers.

He walked up to a policeman and said, 'Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could
Find a warm place to sleep tonight would you ?

You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight.
Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay.'

The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, 'You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in.'

So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, 'John 3:16.' The lady said, 'Come on in, Son.'

She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went off. The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16 .I don't understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm.

Later she came back and asked him 'Are you hungry ? '
He said, 'Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food,'

The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat any more. Then he thought to himself: John 3:16 ..Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full.

She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16 . I sure don't understand
It, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.
The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he
Thought to himself: John 3:16 ...I don't understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested.

The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same big table full of food. After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old Bible.

She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face.. 'Do you understand John 3:16 ? ' she asked gently. He replied, 'No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it,' She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus . Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life to Jesus. He sat there and thought: John 3:16 -- don't understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy
Feel safe.

You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions .

Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.' Pass this on only if you mean it.

I do Love God. He is my source of existence.. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Phil 4:13 If you love God and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you, send this on.

1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am"

Trust God in everything. His plan for every one of us is perfect. Like Jesus said, " If it were not so, I would have told you". God will never fail any one of us. God loves us all the same!

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."


The real test of our Love for God is how we treat the people right in front of us as our family memebers and fellow believers and non believers. We cannot truly loves God while neglecting to love those who are created in His image.

The Shepherds and the Angels] And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Praise God! He gave us the Son! God gave us the way, the life and the truth and that's Jesus Christ our Lord. Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life! That's to me, is the greatest gift of all and Jesus paid the highest price for us and that's His life. Let's thank God for the wonderful gift and praise Him for it.

HAPPINESS

Two men were occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service where they had been on vacation.Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his life would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene.One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."Epilogue...There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy. GOD IS AWESOME! NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE CHILD OF GOD! MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS BUT THE LOVE OF GOD CAN BRING ALL THE JOY IN THE WORLD!

I look at them and said to myself "God, thank you for them!" God has blessed me and my wife with 2 miracles! Now that I am a father and a husband, i realized how much my father has done for me. My dad was with me throughout all my surgeries, my troubles, my life and for that, I am so grateful to God for my father.

God have done so much for me as well. He has blessed me with a home, a car to drive, a wife to love, daughters to cherish, and Jesus Christ to allow me to have salvation. Jesus is the answer to all my problems and I am grateful to our Lord for what He has done for all of us.
