CONTINUATION OF A DIALOG WITH FATHER GOD

If you’re a friend of God, you have nothing to fear. He will always be ready to accept your manifestations of love and He is very happy, and all the heavenly court with him, when we appeal to his divine mercy while we live because now is the time of grace. We don't need much study, but

a lot of love to follow Him. ! What is it so cute Father that You have a Heaven ready to lead us beyond!  Ah Father, we cannot imagine that since now we belong to the group of the blessed who are praising the Lord continually. Faith is a mighty giant that leads us to sources of love and peace, this is a tremendous reality. Are you exercising your faith in this dimension?

In conclusion, Father God let yourself be loved by your creatures. Receive my love always. Thank you Heavenly Father.

Sincerely,

THE PRIDE

“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”   

Proverbs 16:18

Beloved family and dear readers of the Blog. Today, I want to share with you something very uplifting for it helps us against an evil that afflicts all of us: The pride, written by the pastor Puerto Rican Fausto Lora. I hope that we can be vigilant and practice the tips contained in this message. These are some paragraphs of writing.

Pride is prior to the fall and the crisis. But, what is pride? This is defined as I having a great concept about myself showing me superior to others; it is also a feeling of arrogant superiority. The pride has caused the fall of many people including notable and prominent. Pride and selfishness go hand to hand. This happened to Lucifer the devil in heaven and we have inherited it since then as a reason of internal struggle and a stone of stumbling in all the areas in which the human being live. The pride of Lucifer led him to his fall. He thought that he could be better than God. ! Large error! Pride obscures the truth and causes frustration, pain, isolation and loneliness. In Isaiah 14:12-14 says the following: "How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!  You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly; on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."

 Lucifer considered by himself better than God; his name meant at the time light bearer; he was knocked down by God to earth where today, he is known as Satan or deceiver. He is no longer a leader of praise to God, nor an majestic angel, but an evil spirit that wanders on the earth like a lion seeking whom he may devour. 

Another good example is where the prophet Daniel records the fall of the great king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. One day this king looked everything that he had achieved, and with particular arrogance said: Look at the great Babylon I have built, what I have done with my mighty power for my own honor (Daniel 4:30).  While he was still speaking, a voice from heaven said: This is what is decreed for you king, your royal authority has been taken from you (Daniel 4:31).  At the same time Nebuchadnezzar, who was once a great king, lost his reason and began to act like an animal; until  his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird (Daniel 4:33).  Nebuchadnezzar removed his eyes from God and he focused on their strength; he forgot God who had created him big. He became to think that he had created by himself and that he did not need God or anyone else. ! That error so fatal! 

And even it’s happening in the whole of humanity in our days. The proud and arrogant has made many people fall out of the success very quickly. In the years 80 of the last century, many leaders become to blind of the reality of God because of fame. Immediately the pride prevented them from recognizing the need for God.

The writing end here.

Usually when we lose the guidance of God, we also lose the Biblical foundations; and many of us forgot that time ago we had nothing, but we lived caught of God by faith and that in spite of the shortages, lived in accordance with giving God the glory and the gratitude. Sometimes we also forget the fact that it was God, and only God who blessed us because the successes come from God. But we also know that the problems and failures God allows them to mold us and purify us and all of this is for our good although we do not understand it at the time of the tribulation.

JESUS CHRIST, God made man is who personified all the opposite of pride and he pointed us out the right way to go. He said in Matthew 11:29: " …learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls." Think, Why The King and Creator of the universe is gentle and humble and we his creatures live the life with pride? It’s ridiculous!

We have to follow His example if we really want to live a life experiencing the peace of God and the true rest in the midst of a world tiring. Beloved reader, are you ready to follow in His footsteps?

With love,
