My husband and I were raised in Catholic families in Colombia, and from an early age our parents taught us the fundamental moral principles of the Catholic religion. But on April of 1989, when we were born again, we began to understand the true meaning of being a Christian and since then our relationship with God has become more personal. Since then we began to write. José Joaquin wrote reflections about the love of God and messages of hope for humanity, and I wrote wise advice for all families everywhere.

I NEVER TIRE OF ADVISING THE GOOD WAYS OF THE LORD

 


Let us not leave idle the concerns the Lord has given us. This is the filling of the Holy Spirit that we carry within our hearts. No human being has the magic wand to guide souls to God. This is God's work alone and a privilege for believers. This cannot be done without PRAYER. Prayer becomes the omnipotence of creatures and the weakness of God if God allows us to express ourselves in this way. A whole God surrenders to humble prayer. He who does not pray is lost. Human self-sufficiency counts for nothing in the Lord's eyes. Let us be humble in His holy presence.

During our lives, we sometimes have to endure blows like an anvil and praise God like the angels. Let us not lose heart, for the Lord has the reward, and we often feel it in this life. But there is no joy equal to knowing that the way we are going,


we are going well. The vicissitudes of life count for nothing. The rushes can be of greater or lesser intensity, but what cannot fail is prayer. Let us follow the good examples of the redeemed throughout the world, but above all that of the beloved person of Jesus Christ, because the reward is worth it: an eternity in the arms of our Heavenly Father, and we cannot despise Him.

Sometimes we are told that we don't have to do anything regarding our salvation because the Lord has already paid all our debt. This is true, but it cannot be fulfilled without our


acceptance because it is up to us to allow ourselves to be loved by Him, to follow His beautiful teachings and His divine laws. So, our participation is also required. Therefore, we need guidance from on high, and if you are going wrong, stop on the path of life, correct yourself, repent, ask God for forgiveness, and change direction because eternity is coming.

With these thoughts, I leave you until the next opportunity. We will meet in the arms of our Father. There is no doubt about it.

Sincerely,

José Joaquín Agudelo G.

LENT 2025 AND FORGIVENESS


 Hello family and friends. During this Lent of 2025, I want to give you some advice. I hope it will be of some use to your lives. First of all: let us repent and ask God for forgiveness. Let us say to Him: Lord, change me, because when I change, others change too. I love to see people happy and successful, since life is a journey, not a competition.

Don't forget that the practice of forgiveness is vital for our emotional and spiritual health. Without forgiveness, the family becomes a sea of ​​conflict and a refuge for sorrow. Without forgiveness, the family becomes sick. Forgiveness is the asepsis of the soul, the cleansing of


the mind, and the euphoria of the heart. Those who do not forgive have no peace in their soul or communion with God. Sadness is a poison that intoxicates and kills. Holding pain in your heart is a gesture that slowly destroys you. Those who do not forgive become sick physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Thus, the family needs to be a place of life, not death, a place of healing, not illness, a place of forgiveness, not guilt. Forgiveness brings joy where sorrow has produced sadness, pain, and illness.


Don't forget that depression is frozen anger, gastritis is undigested anger, high blood pressure is circulating anger, and joint pain is pent-up pain. So if you are upset for more than a day, illness will come. Remember that God says: "Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry" (Ephesians 4:26). So cleanse, release, shake off, and free yourself from resentment because the Holy Spirit will do the rest perfectly and correctly.

My wish is that JESUS ​​CHRIST be born in your heart and His Spirit remain with you forever, that families be blessed, and that love and hope reign in your home.

BLESSED HOLY WEEK!

BLESSED EASTER SUNDAY!

With much love,

María Fanny Agudelo

DEAR BROTHERS OF THE WORLD, WHETHER WE ARE PASTORS OR NOT, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING


 Let us not remain silent because it is a good opportunity to give glory to God. “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice, and those who have done good will come forth to the resurrection of life, but those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.” (John 5:28-29). “And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:40). Truly, truly, I say to you, he who

believes in Me has eternal life.” (John 6:47). “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

How could they not obey the Word of God and let themselves be deceived by the devil in this way? Eternal life has no price, the Lord gives it for


free, if we only believe in Him; everything else is a trap of Satan, who walks around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. As a human, I would be very happy if we saw each other's faces in Heaven. Oh, beloved and beautiful Father, I am sure that the thoughts I experience are a tremendous reality. Thank you, my God, thank you very much.

Sincerely,

José Joaquín Agudelo G.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVE

 “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.”

1 Corinthians 13:13


Hello family and friends. Did you know that God is love and that everything comes from Him? Yes, God loves us even though sometimes the Lord punishes and disciplines us because we are rebellious so that we wake up and change the way we live. Love is so important that if we take away love from a home, what we would have left would be a sad and desolate house. If we take away love from a family,

we would only have relatives. If we take away love from a couple, they would only have a contract. If we take away love from a friendship, we would only have an acquaintance. If you take away love from your job, what you have left would be an obligation. If we take away love from life, all that would remain would be a calendar. Therefore, put love into everything because if you don’t, everything will be expensive and boring. So you decide: If you sow with love, you reap love. If you plant trees, you reap food. Whoever sows flowers

reaps perfume. Whoever sows wheat reaps bread. Whoever sows appreciation reaps friendship. Whoever sows joy reaps happiness. Whoever sows truth harvest trust. Those who sow faith harvest certainties. Those who sow affection harvest gratitude. However, there are those who prefer to sow sadness and harvest bitterness; to plant discord and harvest loneliness; to sow anger and harvest enmity; to plant injustice and harvest abandonment. We are conscious sowers, spreading millions of seeds around us every day. If we sowed the right seeds, we would reap good fruit

and we would have enough reasons to please God our Creator. Let us cultivate the seeds of love because this life ends quickly. Let us love each other more and forgive each other more because the best moments of life are lived only once. So let us embrace each other more and leave everything in God's hands.

I tell you that Jesus did not hold himself on the cross so much


because of the nails, as the Jews believed, but because of the love for you and me. I ask God to help us spread a lot of love to all the people we meet in the passage of this life. But to achieve this, we must first go daily to the source of LOVE and fill ourselves with His love. By receiving JESUS ​​CHRIST, source of LOVE in our hearts, we are ready to project that love to others. Decide for JESUS ​​CHRIST right now!

With love,

María Fanny Agudelo

OMENS AND FALSE BELIEFS


“There shall not be found among you…anyone who practices divination, or a soothsayer, or a spell-reader, or a sorcerer, or an enchanter, or a soothsayer, or a magician, or anyone who consults the dead. For anyone who does these things is an abomination to the Lord…”

Deuteronomy 18: 10 - 12

There is nothing more stupid and foolish than believing in omens and all kinds of nonsense. It is a way that seems simple, but alas! The devil does his thing with all those omens. That mentally saying positive or negative, or that the color yellow brings luck, or red, or I don't know what else goes on in the minds of humans. All of this offends God. Let us be clear in all our actions. Father God cannot be replaced by anything. Let's take all situations from the side of technology and not for nonsense. What does exist is really many deceivers. What is outside of biblical teachings is not only great nonsense but also sin. Those of us who have the light let us go in search of souls for the Lord.

I end up loving you very much and, as always, asking you the favor of spreading all these messages among your beautiful friends.

Cordially,

                        José Joaquín Agudelo G.
