8 DAYS OF GIVING THANKS T-2 DAYS |THANKSGIVING 2019

Thank You LORD for those who serve us

by Oscar Roca
Soldier Coming Home
Bible verse John 15:13

Today I want to thank all those who serve people in any capacity. From the waiters and waitresses at restaurants, or the store employees who work hard to keep the aisles and checkouts clear, to the first responders who selflessly give up their family time to keep all of us safe and in good health.
I especially would like to thank the men and women in the armed forces who will not be with their families this upcoming Holy Day Season.
I pray that all of You make it back home safely and that you are blessed by the LORD tremendously. Your selfless service to this country and the world is noticed and appreciated by all in this family.
LORD, I thank You for all those that will be working to stock the aisles and clear the busy holiday checkouts. I also thank you for the local public servants who are out there keeping our streets safe and doing extraordinary things in emergency services. I ask that You keep them all safe as they take care of this community.
Father, I ask that You bring those that are far away from their families, peace of this season, where Your Son came down from His throne and became a humble infant, only to accomplish Your will—to save humanity from their sins which separated us from You.
May all those serving in the military find Your peace, joy, and love while they are out there putting their lives on the line for all of us. May they also know Father, that we are praying for their safety and the safety of their families left behind without a dad, mom, uncle, aunt, brother or sister. I pray that they will feel the love of their families, communities, and especially the love of Your son Jesus. I pray this in Your name Lord…

“Nadie tiene un amor mayor que éste: que uno dé su vida por sus amigos.

Juan 15:13 Spanish: La Nueva Biblia de los Hispanos

Hoy quiero agradecer a todos los que sirven a las personas en cualquier capacidad. Desde los meseros y meseras en los restaurantes, o los empleados de la tienda que trabajan duro para mantener los pasillos y las cajas abiertas, hasta los primeros en responder que descuidan el tiempo de su familia para mantenernos a todos seguros y en buen estado de salud.

Me gustaría agradecer especialmente a los hombres y mujeres de las fuerzas armadas que no estarán con sus familias esta próxima temporada de días santos Navideños. Oro para que todos ustedes regresen a casa sanos y salvos. Que el Señor los bendiga tremendamente. Su servicio altruista a este país y al mundo es notado y apreciado por todos en esta familia. SEÑOR, te agradezco por todos los que trabajarán para abastecer los pasillos y despejar las cajas de compras. También te agradezco por los servidores públicos locales que están manteniendo nuestras calles seguras y haciendo cosas extraordinarias en los servicios de emergencia.

Te pido que los mantengas a salvo mientras cuidan de esta comunidad. Padre, te pido que le des a los que están lejos de sus familias, la paz de esta temporada, donde Tu Hijo bajó de Su trono y se convirtió en un Niño humilde, solo para cumplir Tu voluntad, para salvar a la humanidad de los pecados que nos separaron de Ti.

Que todos los que sirven en el ejército encuentren Tu paz, alegría y amor mientras estén lejos de su seres queridos, arriesgando sus vidas por todos nosotros. Que ellos también sepan Padre, que estamos orando por su seguridad.  Además oro por la seguridad de sus familias que se quedaron sin un padre, madre, tío, tía, hermano o hermana en estas temporadas. Oro para que sientan el amor de sus familias, comunidades y especialmente el amor de Tu hijo Jesús. Amen…

Jesus Our Sacrifice

The Lamb of God

This Sunday we will be celebrating  Jesus’ resurrection. I want to take the time to invite you to read about His life and death. He was not just a righteous man or a good teacher. He makes it clear where He stands as the God of the universe. The great I AM. You could find all this information in the Bible.

If you don’t know who Jesus is but have asked yourself some pretty important questions about where you stand in this life.  Or if you have searched for the meaning of your existence, I invite you to know Jesus in a personal and graceful way. Don’t wait. Life is too precious and too short to wait on such an important topic. A topic that has infinite consequences.

Why infinite? Because our lives are but a short pit stop to the life ever after. Some of you may be skeptical. Some may even sneer at the thought that we are spiritual creatures and that we will end up somewhere after our physical bodies are worn out enough for our spirits to be released into the heavenly realm.

This Sunday, Christians will celebrate the fact that Jesus died and rose again. He rose from death to break the bondage that was laid out in the garden. The garden where the first humans rebelled against God by doing the opposite of what The Almighty had told them to do. This had dire consequences for all people. A vicious cycle where people would be born, live life for about 70+ years and then when our bodies become too weak and frail, release our spirits to:

  1. Eternally be reunited with our Maker (God).
  2. Eternally be separated from our Maker (God)(Which I highly don’t recommend).

This separation takes place because of our rebellious thoughts. Selfish thoughts that make us think we can have heaven without God.

People think they can do things that are contrary to what God originally wanted for us. But they can’t.
For every action in this life, there will be a spiritual reaction if left unchecked.

But there is a way for you to take advantage of Jesus’ dying on the cross. I know it sounds weird to say take advantage of, but we when you think it through, this is what we are doing.  Why? because it should be us hanging on the cross instead of God Himself. Jesus is God. Plain and simple. Yes, you may have beliefs that say otherwise or you may not even believe there is a God in heaven. What people think of God and what or who He is, has no consequences on God being.
Let me say this once more, God is, whether you believe or not.

So if God is, this means He is there and there will be actions we all must face in the future when we meet our Creator. These actions will lead us to:

  1. Being reunited with God
  2. Being separated from God.

Which do you prefer to do? If you think there may be a slight chance that God exists, why not take the necessary steps to make sure you will be reunited with Him?

If you believe that God is not there, Ask yourself, what if I am wrong?

You see, there are far too many variables for you to roll the dice and say there is no God. I use the rolling of the dice because that is what you are doing, gambling whether God exists or not.

This weekend about two thousand years ago, Jesus died and came back to life. He has changed the course of History because it is after all, His Story to change.

I invite you to come to terms that:

  1. God exists.
  2. He came down from the heavens and became a man.
  3. His name is Jesus.
  4. He preached the grace and mercy of His story for all people.
  5. This grace gives us salvation, which means forgiveness of all the wrongdoings we have all done.
  6. You can’t buy, work or achieve this grace by yourself.
  7. These wrong doings are in complete rebellion with our relationship with God.
  8. We need to ask God to forgive us of all wrong we have done in this life.
  9. He will supernaturally erase or wipe all the wrongs you have done, never to remember them again. If you were a computer, it would be like wiping your hard drives with the most powerful of software programs in which no one could bring back any information erased.
  10. When you ask God to forgive you, ask Him to lead you into your new life.
  11. He will do the rest as long as you truly make a U-turn from all the wrongs you have done.
  12.  If you are ready to change your life or if you are tired of your present life and how you have gotten to this point, I want you to:
  • Ask God to forgive you.
  • And take all your sins away.
  • Ask God to help you live away form all your past sins.
  • Tell God you believe Jesus died for your sins on the cross. Wiping away the rebellion we all have lived at one point or another.
  • Ask God to be reunited in spirit with Him.
  • Find someone you know who is a Christian and let them know what you have just done.
