His Sweet Presence

Hello dear reader,

Let me share you that this is our last week of school regarding homework and classwork, next week we have what we call "Test Week". I can truly say that the Lord has been good to me and to all of my classmates. God has been there for us every single day. As Seniors, we have many responsibilities and things to do before our graduation, we are still working in our Social Project for the community, we are going to have what we call the "National Anthem Test" and so many other things. Last week was a stressing and tough week; we had many homework as well as projects. This year marks the beginning of something brand new for us, we are not going to be in school anymore for we are going to be whether in university or at a job. I deeply believe that the Lord has good plans for my classmates.



The Lord will let His face shine upon every one of my classmates. I have been thinking about the fact of being successful in life; it is all about having God in your heart and having a relationship with Him. There is a HUGE difference between "knowing God" and "being with God". We know that the Lord is everywhere, there is no place we can hide from Him. Even though He is everywhere, He manifests His presence only in certain places; He decides where does He wants to manifest His sweet Presence.What is God's presence? How do you know you are in His presence? How does it feel? Is there a formula we can apply to experience His presence? Let me tell you that I don't have all the answers but I can try telling my experience towards His presence. God's presence is His nature and His glory shared with you. His mercy is so immense that He shares all His awesomeness with us and we can actually feel it. I can't explain how do I know that I'm in His presence, I just simply know. There is a sensation of peace in you that no one or nothing can give to you. You feel His love surrounding all your body, you hear His voice telling you what to do and what not to do, He constantly says: I love you! You see, we are humans, and we are usually guided by our emotions, we must know that even though we don't "feel" God's presence, we need to believe and have conviction in your heart that He is there. I believe that there is not formula to "get in His presence" but I do can tell you that praising the Lord alone, where no one sees you, helps a lot. We can't expect God to manifest Himself in a very same way, He is way too creative! We need to understand that sometimes God will manifest Himself as your friend, maybe sometimes He will manifest Himself as your father and so on. We have the Holy Spirit living inside of us, which is God Himself living inside of us.





I pray that God will submerge you in His Presence and will transform you doing so! Have a great day! Respect, love, and be kind.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

We need rain!

Hello folks!

   A week just started and we must be ready to face what is coming forward. I'm quite joyful for school is almost over; I really need some rest! I believe that every hard-worker deserve some rest. The climate here in Honduras is pretty warm, it feels that we are in the middle of a desert. There is no sign of clouds, meaning that the possibility for us to have some rain are minimum. The only thing we can do is to ask and beg the Lord to have mercy and to send us some water for we REALLY need it. There is some sort of "oppression" that goes on when we have this type of climate. We usually don't want to do anything at all, or sometimes we feel strengthless. Water is very important; it gives some in sort of freshness. There are so many properties of water that we could mention but that's not what I want to focus this day. I want for us to see water in another perspective. The Bible tells us in John 4:14 that Jesus is the fountain of water, whoever drinks from Him will not be thirsty anymore. We know that God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are the same, we also know that the Holy Spirit lives in us; our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is the same one with Jesus, that means that the Holy Spirit is the same water that cleans and purifies as Jesus is. The Holy Spirit lives in us, meaning that INSIDE of us there is a fountain of pure water, which is the Holy Spirit.



  Whenever we have rain, water is descending from the sky to the earth, wetting every place. We can study this deeply. We know that in the beginning, God created heavens and earth. When He created men (man and woman) He made it out of dust (soil). When there is a rain, the soil is being watered, afterwards, new plants grow and life is produced. We as humans are the soil, the Holy Spirit is the water. There is no much thing soil can do without being watered, without water we would just be death-soil. When we accept Jesus as our saviour, and we baptize in waters declaring that there is no other Lord like Jesus and that He is our only saviour, we are actually being watered by the Holy Spirit. The good thing is that when you are watered by the Holy Spirit, you won't need any other water to survive for He will be inside you, meaning that He will be watering you constantly. There are so many things we can do and explore when He is inside us, we produce life in other people. Life without the Holy Spirit is an arid-land; is a useless life. He is the one who gives sense to our path. Without Him, we would be as someone lost in a desert with no water nor food. The Lord gave us a huge privilege, He gave us the opportunity of having the fountain of life inside us. We should all share and give to others the water that was given to us, believe me, there are MANY people outside there that are living in a desert-land and they need water to survive. We need to be a blessing to others, sharing light and life. Our country, Honduras, needs to be filled with this water, Honduras needs to be fill with the precious Holy Spirit. May every Honduran be filled with God's glory, may every person in this amazing country have the opportunity of drinking the water that will provide us eternal life. We can produce a massive rain in this country, and make it known for the biggest revival ever seen on this planet. HONDURAS will shine and will not be ever thirsty, for the fountain of life will be in it.





Thank you once again for reading my post. I declare God's favor upon your life. May God's will be done in your life. Be blessed!

HAVE A GREAT DAY

Honduran Dream

Hello everyone!

WOW! It has been a while since I did my last post! Many things had happened through all this time, there are so many things I would like to share with you people; I will do my best to keep on posting every week for the rest of the year. Graduation is just around the corner. I will travel in August to U.S.A for a month, I will visit New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Kansas City. It is going to be my very first time that I will travel to U.S.A. I will go and visit my family which I don't see since I was a baby. During these days, I have been thinking about the importance of the family as a whole. I believe that a family that is united can do wonderful and amazing things. Here in my country, my beautiful Honduras, sometimes we see children on the streets asking for money; they need to work to survive. In my school, we have a class in which we discuss a lot about social problems, during these days we have studied a lot about poverty, especially poverty in childhood. We have concluded that the root of poverty is the lack of education as well as the disintegration of entire families. Something must be done!  



I want to talk to you people about the importance of being together with your family, no matter which are the circumstances; we must be united. The countries of Central America have a tendency of going to U..S.A or to some other country to try to get a new job, or to have the hope of being able to succeed in life. The head of the house (which is  usually the father) leaves his children and his wife to follow the "American Dream", he wants to be able to send his children and his wife the money they need to live. I strongly believe that a child don't only need the money of his father, but he/she needs to feel the protection in the house, he/she needs to feel that there is someone at their house that will defend them and will fight for them. You see, if there is will, there is a way. Honduras needs people that wants to work and that wants to make this place a better place. If you really want to go out of your country to chase some other opportunites, you are actually not loving nor believing in your country for you think that your country can't give to you what you need. Education is quite important as well. A country with people that are well educated will develop faster. Honduras has the potential of being a 5 star country. We have wonderful places to visit, this means that we could get use of it and make our tourism the best from the region. Honduras has a variety of trees that we could use to produce the best wood of the whole continent. You see, is all about wanting to develop. Hondurans should chase the "Honduran Dream", the Dream in which all Hondurans will be ready and prepared to make this land shine. The Honduran Dream is about believing that this country will be head and not tail, is about working hard in the land that God gave us, is about sharing God's love to every person we see, is about speaking light to the dark regions of our country; that's the Honduran Dream I want to chase. Something valuable is coming to our country, God has a plan for this beautiful country, but He needs workers. Are you prepared to serve your country and make God's plan come real?




Thank very much for reading my post! May the Lord bless you today and tomorrow, and for the rest of the eternity.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
