As I was reading Matthew 2:1-12 in the Bible I realized that the Wise Men followed the star to bring gifts to Jesus. What these men didn’t know was that Jesus was the perfect gift for the humanity and that they would receive the gift that God sent from heaven to earth.

While i was in a Christmas service, I thought of this idea. Many of us, if not all, have a wish list of gifts this Christmas. We all want a video game, laptop, camera, toys, iPad, or other things. But a few of us have in our wish list Jesus, the true reason Christmas is celebrated, the truly and only gift to humanity.

We all need Jesus Christ as our Savior, to accept the wonderful gift that God gave us through His Son Jesus Christ. I invite you to join me this christmas and invite Jesus into our hearts, accept Him as our most precious gift.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas with all your loved ones.

Mientras leía en la biblia Mateo 2:1-12 me daba cuenta que los magos seguían la estrella para llevarle los regalos a Jesús. Lo que no sabían estos magos era que Jesús era el regalo perfecto para la humanidad y que ellos iban a recibir el regalo que Dios envió del cielo a la tierra.

Mientras estaba en un servicio navideño, pensé en esta idea. Muchos de nosotros, si no es que todos, tenemos una lista de regalos que nos gustaria recibir en esta navidad. Todos queremos algun video juego, laptop, cámara, juguetes, iPad, entre otros. Pero cuantos de nosotros tenemos en nuestra lista de regalos a Jesús, la verdadera razón por la cual se celebra la navidad, el verdadero y único regalo para la humanidad.

Todos necesitamos a Jesucristo como nuestro Salvador, aceptar el hermoso regalo que Dios nos dió por medio de su Hijo Jesucristo. Te invito a que juntos invitemos a Jesús en nuestro corazón, aceptarlo como nuestro regalo más valioso.

Que todos pasen una muy feliz navidad con todos sus seres queridos. Un abrazo.

En el libro de Lucas 13:6-9, la biblia narra una historia acerca de una higuera que un hombre tenía en su viña y cuando vino a recoger fruto de ella, no encontró ningún fruto. A causa de esto quiso cortarla porque ya eran 3 años que no conseguía fruto alguno de dicha higuera, mas el viñador le dijo: Señor, déjala todavía este año para cavar alrededor de ella y la abone; y si diere fruto, bien; y si no, la cortaré después.

Así como nos relata esta historia, nosotros representamos esa higuera, el viñador es Jesucristo y el dueño del campo es Dios. Muchas veces en nuestra vida cometemos muchísimos errores junto con actos inaceptables. Dios nos creó, nos plantó en esta tierra que representa el campo, para que diéramos buen fruto delante de Él y que nuestro fruto permanezca como dice Juan 15:16 para que todo lo que le pidamos a Dios, nos sea dado.

Tenemos a la vuelta de la esquina, un nuevo año. Así como el viñador pidió una nueva oportunidad para la higuera, Jesús está dándonos una nueva oportunidad para producir fruto bueno de nosotros; tal vez en el pasado hemos perdido el tiempo y desperdiciando oportunidades para hacer el bien y bendecir a otros, pero Dios nos da una nueva oportunidad para reivindicarnos y poder ser mejores personas en esta tierra, pero sobre todo mejores hijos de Dios.

In the book of Luke 13:6-9, the Bible tells a story about one man had a fig tree in his vineyard and he came to pick the fruit of it, he found no fruit. Because of this he wanted to cut it off because they were 3 years that he could not bear any fruit of the fig tree, but the gardener said, Lord, let it alone this year to dig around it and dung it, and if you bear fruit, good: and if not, then cut it.

As this story tells us, we represent the fig tree, the gardener is Jesus Christ and the landowner is God. Many times in our lives we make many mistakes with unacceptable acts. God created us, planted on this earth that represents the vineyard, to give good fruit before him and that our fruit should remain, as John 15:16 says that whatever you ask God, we are given.

A new year is coming soon. Just as the gardener asked for a new opportunity for the fig tree, Jesus is giving us a new opportunity to produce good fruit for us. We may have lost time and wasted opportunities in the past to do good acts and bless others, but God gives us a new opportunity to come back to the path that he predestine us to walk on and be better people on this earth, but more important, to be better children of God.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” Hebrews 13:8

So many times I’ve read the bible and seen all the great and powerful miracles that God did through different people, those who really wanted to see His power manifesting in their lives regardless of the price they had to pay or the things they had to leave. This days we don’t see it in our churches, people wants to live in a comfort zone, don’t want to pay a price for Jesus, don’t want to give it all for Him and I’ve seen and heard people asking God to have His way in their lives but don’t do nothing different to really see God’s glory and power manifest in & through them. I want to change that in my life, if God used so many people in the bible times He can do it now, if He healed so many sick people before He also can do it now, if he delivered captive, possessed people He can do it this days. His glory has never changed, His power is still available, His word is still delivering and transforming so many lives, is just a matter of you and I making a decision to really do radical things in order to receive radical experiences. I wanna challenge you who are reading this article, God didn’t save you just to be sitting down in a church chair or hanging out with people. He saved us and selected us to do radical things in this crazy world, is time for us to move on cause people in the streets are waiting for us to manifest as sons of God (Romans 8:19).

Camino a la Iglesia Maranatha en John’s Island, Carolina del Sur!!

Estamos re-creando la pagina web del ministerio Centro Evangelistico Antioquia, esperamos sea de bendicion

So i was reading this morning Exodus chapter 14 through 16 and after all this amazing demonstration of God’s power delivering them from Egypt, through the wilderness, the red sea, feeding them, turning bitter waters to sweet waters, the children of Israel kept blaming everything on God, not really knowing that God had the power to do and provide everything they needed on their journey to the promise land.

And i was thinking in this interesting attitude cause it represents how the people of God in this days are going through trials, struggles, battles, and the first thing to do its complain about it even when they have a God that has no limits, almighty and their provider, the natural sight is not letting them see the blessings that God has sent to our lives but that we can’t receive it in the flesh only in the spirit. We need to start walking by faith knowing that anything we need God knows it already, not trying to find our blessings in a job, company, paycheck, this economic system, cause God works in a higher level than the level from this world.

So God is not gonna come down to the world’s type of faith, instead we need to go up to His spiritual level where the promise land and the blessings are and start walking on a supernatural level.

Sometimes we are amazed how God has this awesome power through all the things we see in the bible and how by the words that comes out of His mouth, things become alive and manifest just the same way Jesus did when He came to this earth….but what it is more incredible for me is that God has given us the authority to have the same power in His name and to do even greater things on the earth. The bible says in Mark 16:17 “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak new tongues”. The problem is that a lot of people and i could even say a lot of churches don’t realize they have this authority from God and don’t let the Holy Spirit really manifest in their lives, they don’t know they can have the power to cast ou the devil and struggles out of their lives, to set the captive free, to get the sick heal just by speaking the word only. 

The devil don’t want us to know that we have more weapons against him and that we ourselves can destroy the evil works that he’s doing in this world. And religion has come into a lot of “christian churches” teaching people that our purpose is just going to heaven and love Jesus, but i believe christianity goes way further than just that. We as people and children of God are called to bring and establish the kingdom of God and heaven to this earth, to manifest all the things Jesus did and even greater things.

If you really believe in God, you also believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit, therefore, we should be manifesting the anointing of God, the power to do miracles in people’s lives, to rebuke the devil out, getting the sick heal and even raising the dead just by the power God had given us through His word. 

Think about this…Have you feel the Holy Spirit? Have you met Him? Do you believe in the power of Jesus? Have you manifested the power of God in your life? If not, you really need an encounter with Jesus Christ and need the Holy Spirit in your life cause He’s the one who guides us (John 16:23) and when the Holy Spirit comes to your life and manifest, you will have the Power of God inside of you (Acts 1:8)
