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…

Who Will You Be Today? |Serve God Only

“11 Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.”

Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 11

It’s easy to forget about this when you look at your cells or turn on the television and hear the news. It seems that we are fighting a losing battle.

This is when I realize that I God is for me. If He is then for me, who can be against me?

If I already know how this story ends, why am I listening to the hate, negativity and division on all social media?

So for all of you reading this, I want to encourage you to keep your eyes focused on God. Nothing else matters. Be guided and filled by the Spirit of the Living God. Love don’t hate. Encourage don’t put down. Focus on others. Do not conform to the evil of this world but let God to transform and guide you.

Finally, go out and let others see what Christ did for you. Point them to the One the can change this dark world…

Christ’s Love Above All Else |Love of Christ


Christ above all else.png


There comes a time when you have to choose. I can look at the world and say that it is going down the drain. Or I can look at it and say that the Lord is in control. I can get involved in this or that political activity. I can sign whatever petition comes my way but, the one thing I must never do is forget who is in control. Not the politicians nor the puppet masters behind the political leadership.

It is Christ and Christ alone whom I will serve. He is the only One that can change this world. He transformed the Roman Empire one citizen at a time. He can transform this dark world one person at a time now. Pray Hard…Love people…Serve family…point all to Jesus…

Humble Servant~King’s Return |Jesus’ 1st & 2nd Coming

Genesis 3.png

You notice the Line between the verses to the right? Do you ever wonder why some people say there is no God because it’s been thousands of years since the fall and if the story were true, we would all be dead already? The scoffers scoff, the skeptic snarl, the unbelievers smile. When Adam and eve ate of the forbidden fruit. It set a clock between those two verses in chapter 3 of Genesis. That would be the first book of the Bible.

The timeline, some would say, would put us at roughly almost 6,000 years from Genesis to today.

Isaiah 61 Set the captives free.png

 

You notice the line to the left? That was what the Prophet Isaiah who wrote this roughly 700 years before Jesus was born. Jesus spoke these words when He first started His ministry after being tempted in the wilderness by the same tempter from the Garden of Eden.

The scripture is quoted in the Gospel of Luke chapter 4 verse 18-19:

 

 

‘“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD and…”’

Here is the cool part, Jesus stops right in the middle of this verse: Why would God do this? Because God is lovingly patient. Jesus quotes His first coming and lets those who hear Him know that God is Love. God is Graceful. God is Merciful. He came to save all those who call upon His name. In Peter’s second letter, he states that, “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”

What some might call God slow to react, or even not really there, we know that Christ calls it patient grace and loving mercy, so that all have a chance to repent of their sins. 

But as much as God is patient and loving, there is a limit to His timing. I don’t know when it will be that God will say, enough is enough. You see from the minute Jesus came in riding on a young donkey, the clock started clicking even faster.

Screen Shot 2018-03-28 at 12.30.44 PM.pngThese verses to the right were written by the Prophet Zechariah who wrote these words about 500 years before Jesus was born. Yet these words have had a profound impact on the timeline of God and The Day when He will be back.

You see the line to the right? That is also a time out line. It is a time out period for all of humanity to come to its senses. One day, I don’t know when, but it could be today, tomorrow or if God wills, another 200 years, Jesus will be coming back. He will not be riding humbly on a donkey.

 

 

 

He will be coming in His true nature– Lord of lords and King of kings. 

Then it will be too late for anyone to ask Jesus to forgive them and be saved. When Christ comes as the Conquering King, His patience will be gone. He will come to judge all those who did not believe in Him. By then, the scoffers will stop scoffing, the skeptics will be gnashing their teeth,  and the unbelievers will be weeping for mercy.

This Passion Week is a Holy Week. I ask you to get right with God. I ask you to ask His Son Jesus into your life. Ask Christ to make things right in your life. Ask Him for forgiveness before it’s to late. Commit and allow for Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave to give you true and lasting freedom. If you want to get right and have peace with God, do it now, don’t wait…

In All Seasons |God Is With Us

God is with us in the Highs and in the Lows of life. When we are on the mountaintops praising Him, we feel invincible. Then we get into the valley so low, and we forget that God is there, even when we think He has forgotten us.

If you are in a deep and dark place in life right now, don’t despair, God will pull you out of it. He will make the darkness run and hide. He will make your enemies flee. Whatever the situation, God is with you… Never forget it!

God never forgets us
