We have to be gratefull to God for what we have and stop to think about what we don't have and want. We have to stop to look back at our past and try to bring back what we had and was taking from us or we lost.



Be gratefull for your life, your family, friends, for the roof of your had, for what you have, for the food on your table and the clothing that you wear.



While we are complaining or argueing about our "situations", in others part of the world like, India, Indonesia, Ethiopia...., have people begging, dying, without food and watter, nothing to wear, sleeping on a dew, with nobody to help, to confort them telling that "everything will be all right". People without HOPE !!!!!!!!



So, each time that you think that you suffer for anything, situation or a person, think of these brothers and sisters from so far, and the situations that they are right now.



Stop ........ think and be thankfull to God.

Sometimes God does with us like the eagle does with her nest. The eagle makes an

unconfortable nest, where the nestling exercise their wings 'till it's time to fly. The nest is unconfortable so the nestling don't wanna stay more than they need. They feel unconfortable, so..they will fly on the right time. Same thing God does w/ us. He takes us out of our confortable zone, when is time to us to get to a new level in our lives. He does that not cause we are bad or a kind of punishment, it is cause everything that happens in our lives are a kind of test that we need to pass. We stay in a position, learning (confortable), and later we have to show what we did learn going to some kind of trial (test), to make us come out of that confortable zone, applying what we learned. If we don't pass, we go to the start position again, if we pass, we get confortable for a little while again, 'till the next turn....growing and growing, 'till where He wants us to be, or doing what He wants us to do. Ask God to show you what He really wants from you, where He wants you to be ...... but, be quiet to listening what He is whispering in your ears.



God bless you. ]]> Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:42:33 -0230 https://indiegospel.net/andrea-campos/blog/3679/the-pencil https://indiegospel.net/andrea-campos/blog/3679


The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. "There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."



"1 : You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."



"2 : You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."



"3 : You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."



"4 : The most important part of you will always be what's inside."



"And 5 : On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."



The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

. . . . . . . . . . .



Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.



1 : You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.



2 : You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.



3 : You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.



4 : The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.



And 5 : On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.



By understanding and remembering, let us proceed with our life on this earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart.



1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well..

The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.



He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw.



As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey did something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!



The Moral:

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of a hole is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest holes just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!





Ps. A friend sent it to me.



My thoughts:



It is just like that. So...do it

Shake it of, and keep going. Don't stay down feeling sorry for yourself.

God strenghts you. But you need to focus on him, and take a lesson of everything.

Jesus loves you and me too.

Pray for his perfect will be done, not somebody elses or yours, but his.

Isaiah 40:31
"But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."


Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.

When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it high above the storm.

While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring high above it, gliding with ease.

The eagle does not escape the storm, it just simply uses the storm to lift it higher.

It rises on the winds that bring the storm into its world.

When the storms of life come upon us -- and all of us will experience them -- we can rise above them by setting our minds and faith toward God!!!

The storms do not have to overcome us.

We can allow God to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that brings sickness, pain, tragedy, failure and disappointments in our lives, and make something good come from it.

We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life which weigh us down, but it is how we handle them that counts.

"Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause


is disregarded by my God"?


Do you not know?


Have you not hesrd?


The Lord is the everlasting God, The Creator of the ends of the earth.


He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.


He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.


Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;


but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.


They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not gro weary, they will walk and not be faint.





Isaiah 40:27-31











Hold on....put your faith, your hope on him. He knows verything. Let him guide you. Say to him: Here I am Lord, I surrender my life, my desires unto you...let your perfect will be done, not mine.





What ever it is....surrender to him, give it to him ad don't take it back.





You will see things change around you, closed doors opening...and even if the qnswer that you listen is "NO", He know what is best for you.








Luv you in Christ.

She sat under the oak tree musing on the strange twists in nature,which put tiny acorns on huge branches and huge pumpkins on tiny vines. She thought to herself, "God blundered with Creation! He should have put the small acorns on the tiny vines and the large pumpkins on the huge branches."





Nodding off, the woman stretched out under the oak tree for a nap.A few minutes after falling asleep, a tiny acorn bouncing off her nose awakened her. Chuckling to herself, she rubbed her nose and thought, "Maybe God was right after all!"

He is worthy to be praised, Not because what He can do but because of who He is.

Look up to him. Don't look the circunstances around you.

Sometimes feels like we r in the middle of the storm. Around is everything turning down, the wind blowing so strong that you can't see a thing. In the eye of it is perfectly callm, no sound.....but you can see the hurrycane or twister rotating around you, but it can't touch you in the middle.

You are protected. Maybe the storm has a reason to come over you, maybe it doesn't, what is matter is that if God let it happened it is that He has a reason...to teach us, to makes us grow, to give us a direction, I don't know, but one thing that I know is....if He, the God Almighty has a reason, so there is no problem, cause He knows what is good or not for us. He is our Aba Father, our Everything and He loves us uncondicional.

So...be patiente and strong on Him. Don't ask why but say thanks, cause He knows what we can take it, and how far we can go.

Just forgive and forget.....and love, love, love, love, love......

The prodigal son's body began to be in want, his mind was in want, and his spirit was in want. Why? Because of the slavery of sin. He was a slave: "whoever commits sin is a slave of sin "(John 8:34).



There are many of us who think we are free, but we are slaves. The devil says,"Do this," and we do it. Sin says,"Do this," and we do it. We are slaves to that habit that we have, to that lust that we have. We are slaves. We can't break the habit. We are bound by chains."



Our soul, or our spirit, is that part of us that lives inside our body--in which we can know God. We are searching, questioning, hungering, thirsting for something. We don't know what it is. We want God! Without God we will go on until we reach the point of judgment and destruction.



This prodigal son was returning, and there was his father waiting for him. That is a picture of the heavenly Father waiting for us, loving us, wanting us to come and return to Him." The son said,"Father, I'm not worthy to be called your son, I want to be a servant" (Luke 15:21).]]> Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:53:41 -0230 https://indiegospel.net/andrea-campos/blog/3488/cast-your-cares-on-the-lord https://indiegospel.net/andrea-campos/blog/3488

Just bow your head in prayer and know

That God will always be there.



When things look bleak and dreary,

When it seems that no one cares,

Have faith, my friend, in our Lord

And he will answer all your prayers.

Things don't seem to work out right,

But it truly is quite pointless

To kick or scream or fight.



When you really need an answer,

On HIM you can depend.



Only FAITH can move a mountain -

So, have FAITH in God, my friend!

Cast your cares on the LORD

He will never let the righteous fall.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.





The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.







What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.





Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:08:03 -0230 https://indiegospel.net/andrea-campos/blog/3462/do-not-worry https://indiegospel.net/andrea-campos/blog/3462


#25- Worry means distress, sorrow, afliction, anxiety, anguish.



Jesus is not saying that is wrong we take care or to provide our material needs. What He is saying is that is wrong for us to be anxious or preocupaded, revealing our unfaithfulness in God, in his care and paternal love for us.



#30- ...if that is how God clothes the grass of the field...



The words in this verse have the God's promise to all of his sons and daughters in this era of afliction and hesitation. God promises to take care of our meal, clothes and other needs, we do not need to worry, yes, we do need to do our part working (couse nothing will be dopped of to you) and leave the rest to him. We need to live for him and let He das the domain in our lives, with the conviction that He will assume full responsability for a life totaly surrended (commited) to him.



#33- ...but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness...



Those who seek Christ are compelled to seek him above all things.

The verb seek means: to be engaged, busy with something or doing a extremely effort to improve something.



Christ mension two objects of our search: The kingdom of God and his justice.



-The kingdom of God- We have diligentment to seek the demonstration of Gods magesty and power in our lives and in our meetings at church. We have to pray for his kingdom to be manifest in the greatness of the Holy Spirit to save sinners, to destroy the demoniac influence, to heal the infirm and to raise the name of our Lord Jesus.



-His justice- With the help of the Holy Spirit we have to be commited to obey Christs commands, to have his justice, to remain separated from the world and to demonstrate his love with everybody.



...So, what He is saying is: "Seek me and rest on me. I want to take care of you, of your problems, of your sickness.

Stop to worship your problems. Leave your sorrows behind you and come as you are to praise and worship Me, only Me. I deserve all the honor and Glory."



If we do that, we gonna see our lives change.



So...pray with me right now..



Heavenly Father,



I surrend myself to you.If is Your will, help me to accomplish the things that I am looking for, if it insnt help me to understnad why I cant. Either one of other I want your guideness in my life, your direction, your perfect will, not mine. Help me to understand that your ways are not my ways. Help me to say YES to You. Help me to understand how fragile I am and that I need you always. Help me to furfill my dreams if they are according to You. Help me to be strong to fight and win my flash. Help me and teach me Lord, to be a righteous man/woman. Teach me holyness. Teach me to be the man/woman that you want me to. Let your will be done in my life.

I love you.



Amen.

Christians cling to the promise that the Lord Jesus Christ will return to redeem the world and establish a new kingdom. But do you realize God has charged believers to pray for that event? Today's passage, which is commonly known as the Lord's Prayer, includes a petition for the future revival of the earth. Verse 10 says, "Your kingdom come."
In Eden, sin was unleashed upon the world.Adam and Eve gave in to temptation by eating fruit from the forbidden tree. And God allowed the consequences of that decision to play out—nature became a destructive force with the threat of earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes; the spirit and will of each person born bends away from his Creator; and Satan reigns as lord of this present age. But God made a redemptive plan to reclaim the earth from the Enemy and transform it into a kingdom under Christ's reign.
All of creation groans and suffers as it awaits the Lord's return (Romans 8:20-22).God's plan is to redeem not merely souls but also the world He created for His people to inhabit. So when we pray, "Your kingdom come," we are imploring God to bring forth His eternal kingdom. In that new earth, which will be free from corruption, believers will work and worship under the lordship of Jesus Christ forever.
 
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

          The Altar of Incense was the place that symbolized the prayers of God’s people ascending up before Him to Heaven. There were eleven different types of spices that God instructed them to use on the Altar of Incense. Interestingly enough, these may be symbolic of eleven different types of prayers spoken about in the New Testament.
          Some prayers are prayers of petition (1 John 5:15). Some prayers are prayers of faith (James 5:115). There are prayers in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18) and prayers of thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6). There are prayers of agreement (Matthew 18:19), prayers of binding (Matthew 16:19), and prayers of loosing (Matthew 16:19). There are prayers of intercession (Luke 22:32) and prayers of understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15). There is the prayer of judgment (Revelation 6:9-11) and the prayer of healing (James 5:16).
          God gave us these patterns so we could realize not only the power of prayer, but the fact that we can seek God in many ways and at many times. Today, remember that you can come before the Altar of God for whatever you need and bring whatever situations you face to him. Bring Him all of your joys and sorrows, concerns and worries, and whatever burdens you are carrying.

“What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me? I shall lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the LORD. I shall pay my vows to the Lord…To you I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and call upon the name of the LORD. I shall pay my vows to the LORD.”                      
Psalm 116:12-18 NASB
The psalmist knew how much he owed to God and wondered what he could “render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me”. What would he do to respond to the great things God had done for him?
                He was compelled to direct his attention to God and tell Him the gratitude he felt in his heart. Then, he determined to give to God the things he had owed. He needed to make a tangible expression with the resources that God had given him. He was God’s servant and needed to serve Him with his life and all that he had. He needed to make a meaningful sacrifice out of a heart of gratitude.
                Today, think about what God has done for you. How are you responding to His many benefits toward you? Acknowledge the countless ways in with He has blessed you, and thank Him! Make sure that you are expressing your gratitude with praise and worship. Keep your vows to Him, and make a tangible expression of this gratitude out of the resources He’s given to you.
                Don’t keep your gratitude silent. Let others know what God has done for you, and openly express your thankfulness to Him. Remember that you are God’s servant. Serve Him with everything He has given you. Make meaningful sacrifices to Him. He is worthy of all your praise!]]> Fri, 03 May 2013 20:52:34 -0230
