Pastor's Thoughts.

Greetings. May God's grace be upon you and your own. Let me start with this thought---God is a good God. He is, also, a God of new beginnings. Recently, the Lord spoke to my heart concerning the Spanish ministry. I was getting disappointed at the lack of support from my Spanish ministry. There were times when I would teach 4 days a week and would have only 1 or 2 listen to me. It was frustrating. 

The funny thing is that on the English page, I would have much more support. I was considering abandoning the Spanish ministry and concentrating on the English one. I reasoned to myself thinking---Jesus came to his own people and they rejected him. My people (Latinos) are doing the same to me. I was about to do away with the Spanish page and concentrate on the English one. 

On a Sunday morning, Minister Vonn was preaching about Lazarus. How God had raised him from the dead. He addressed the church about speaking life to dead things. All of a sudden, God took me back and reminded me that there was going to be a tsunami of Spanish speaking believers coming to my church. God, also, told me to speak life to my Spanish-speaking ministry and get to work.

So, in view of this, I am going to hold services on Friday evenings. It may well be around December or January, provided that we don't have a lockdown. If we do have a lockdown, I plan to hold the services on Facebook Live. So, thank you for your prayers, they mean a lot to me. 

Soon, I will be back on Facebook after the Thanksgiving holidays with a new format. I, also, need your prayers because I might be taking my social security retirement in order to spend more time in ministry. Thank you for your prayers and financial support. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. 

So, on this day, what are some of the dead things you need to speak in your life? Remember, God is a God of new beginnings and it is time to resurrect your dreams, visions, and goals. God bless you.

                           Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
                                                                       (Ps 26:2)


     Greetings. The word for today is Examine. When was the last time you had a heart examination before the Lord? If truth be told, we cannot judge ourselves entirely without the help of the Holy Spirit. He is our independent counsel and will tell us the truth about ourselves. As we analyze Ps 26:2, we see the word examine comes from the Hebrew word "Bachan", which is associated as Gold tried in the fire.

When Gold is tried in the fire, the impurities rise up and it is purified. When being examined by God, you will be like gold and tried in the fire. Usually, it is done when we are going thru trials and testings. It is at this point, God will allow those fiery trials to bring out whatever impurities lie in our minds and heart. The second thing he does is to try our reins, The word "reins" comes from the Hebrew word "Kilyah," which means the seat of emotions. This is where our soul is located (The mind, will, and emotions) It is at this point that the Holy Spirit will point out the pollution that has been set in our mind and how it affects our decision-making process.

Brethren, that is why mind renewal is so important. The word says that we have the mind of Christ, but it does us no good if we don't take his promises and apply it to ourselves. The word Christ is associated with lifting burdens and destroying yokes. As we renew our minds with the word, the fire will bypass us and we will pass inspection. As we take on his mind, we will think clearly and avoid deception in our lives.

The word says that we will have what we say. On this day, take some time and meditate in his word. Make mind renewal a priority and you will have the clarity to make good choices, have discernment, and avoid the traps of the enemy. Remember, you have the mind of Christ! Take what's yours and go onward to victory.

Confession---Dear Lord, I thank you for speaking to me. Forgive me for allowing my mind and heart to become polluted with the affairs of this world. Lord, try and examine my heart and mind. Help me to find any hidden motives or things that are not aligned with your will. I take the mind of Christ. I cast my cares and burdens to you. I declare that yokes are being destroyed in my life and family. I have the mind of Christ. I am more than a conqueror. Thank you for giving me the victory in Jesus name...amen.
