Prayer

I know it has been a while since our last post. I apologize for that. Are family asks for your faithful prayers and support. We have had some challenges in every area possible from finances to family. Our youngest son Micah broke his arm a few days back. It has been a challenge from that time on. So we ask that you would please pray for.

1. Micah.

2. Our marriage, which living in two different cities makes it very difficult.

3. Wisdom, discernment, understanding.

4. Finances.

Thank you all!!

Definition of Understanding

Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.

When you can say this with a sincere heart, you have been given true understanding.

But I thought.....

2Co 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

Our mind is a very special instrument, but at times it can be our worst enemy. It's in our mind that the battle seems to be the biggest. We think "what if this happens" "What if it does'nt happen", "why did they say that to me", why did he/she look at me like that.

And off we go into a world of a million different possibilities.

Our mind is consumend with fear, doubt, anger and worry. We live under its imaginary scenarios. Thats why the WORD of GOD is sooo beautiful, it tells me exactly how things really are. Like I always say, "Hassan, it doesnt matter what you think...What does GOD say about it".

Doctrina

¿Quien necesita ser Justificado?
Para ser justificado primeramente tienes que ser acusado.
Porque si no eres acusado de algo entonces no necesitas ser justificado.

El primer pensamiento es “yo no soy culpable de nada”.

PERO la palabra de Dios dice que todos somos culpable de un gran delito.

"Nadie es justo. Nadie entiende nada, ni quiere buscar a Dios.
Todos se han alejado de él; todos se han vuelto malos. Nadie, absolutamente nadie,
Quiere hacer lo bueno. (Romanos 3:10-12)

Esto significa que toda humanidad es culpable de pecar contra nuestro Creador

Entonces algunos dicen “bueno, entonces voy a cambiar y ganar mi justicia por medio de mis obras”.

Lo siento pero la biblia también nos dice que obras no te puede justificar.
El cumplimiento de la ley no nos hace inocentes ante Dios; la ley sólo sirve para que reconozcamos que somos pecadores. (Romanos 3:20)

El detalle
Si un criminal se presenta delante del Juez, el mismo no se puede proclamar justo,
En realidad ni su abogado puede proclamar que es justo. La única persona capaz de anunciar su justicia es el Juez.

El Juez tiene la última palabra

Entonces tú y yo no tenemos el derecho ni el poder para proclamar que somos justos. Solo Dios tiene ese poder y autoridad.

Ahora lo bueno
Pero él nos ama mucho y nos declara inocentes sin pedirnos nada a cambio. Por medio de Jesús nos ha
librado del castigo que merecían nuestros pecados. Dios envió a Jesucristo para morir por nosotros. Si confiamos en que Jesús murió por nosotros, Dios nos perdonará. Con esto Dios demuestra que es justo y que, gracias a su paciencia, ahora nos perdona todo lo malo que antes hicimos. Él es justo, y sólo acepta a los que confían en Jesús (Romanos 3:24-26)

Cuando has puesto tu fe en Cristo el te proclama JUSTO!

No se te olvide
Cuando Dios te Justifico te justifico para siempre. Es lo mismo con la ley del gobierno, si la ley justifica alguna persona de un delito esa persona está justificado 100%

Ya no tiene que siguer pagando el abogado año tras año para guardar su justificación. El Juez ya lo proclamo y nadie se lo puede cuitar.

Así que si el Hijo os libera, seréis verdaderamente libres. (Juan 8:36)

From above

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. (James 1:17)

You may think your friend gave it to you, perhaps your mom or dad, maybe it's from your girlfriend.

If you have recieved a gift or a blessing from somebody. Always remember, it passed through His hands first.

Give credit where credit is due. Whatever it is, God gave it to you, because He loves you!

1ra Timoteo 3:8 Diaconos Honestos

1ra Timoteo 3:8 Hassan Villegas by Horizonte Ensenada

Bow down when I come to your town!

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time. (1 Peter 5:6)

I have a bad tendancy to trust in my own efforts. I think "if I play my cards right, maybe things can work out better for me". Having this form of thinking causes us to manipulate our circumstances, so that we may have a better outcome.

What I have learned time and time again is that regardless all of my effort and labor GOD always has the last word.

So my conclusion is....... release whatever your holding onto and just bow down at his feet. This is called true surrender.
