Jer 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD God’s character is to restore sinners. Satan’s character is to kick anyone and everyone to the curb. Even worldly people who know nothing about the Lord seem to know and understand this. Yet many pastors, […]

Proverbs 4:23. Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. Do you know that your actual heart sends thoughts to your brain? Those feelings you have in your heart when you remember how someone is making you feel are actually thoughts.  Afterthoughts come from there as well, I […]

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Paul gives us a checklist of things we can do […]

John 3:3 Jesus responded and said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is bornagain he cannot see the kingdom of God. BornAgain is instant, ReNewing is a process.  When I was BornAgain immediately when I believed on the resurrected Jesus in my heart and confessed Him with my mouth, I began […]

Isaiah 55:8-9  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways. Out thoughts make us break us.  I can do a hundred pushups if I don’t think about it.   If I think about it […]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! ——————————————- CONFORMvsTRANSFORM (Spanish Below) And do not be conformed to this world but  transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2) God, who measured the universe by the palm of His hand, conformed Himself to be […]

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. What we really believe in is who we are.That is our core.  How we support our core affects all other aspects of our lives.  Our core, our heart, is our mind.  Our heart […]

Acts 14:8-9 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, I believe that Faith in Jesus, if correctly applied works, every time, for everyone […]

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. In all the Chistian homes I have visited my my life, I have yet to see this verse stuck on a refrigerator, haha, but it resonates with me. […]

Matthew 5:37. “But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” Flip Wilson made fun of Christians by coining the term ‘the devil made me do it’. No he didn’t. Your old nature made you do it, and your responsible because you caved. Devil can’t make you do anything, […]

John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. Churches that place emphasis on signs, wonders and miracles often get large congregations.  Some teach a lot of Word as well, but many don’t.  Churches that just study the Bible are often times small.   Some look for and expect […]

Mark 4.39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. *DISCLAIMER!  This is a very difficult concept OF THE WORD ‘ACTION’ to explain.  Most ‘action’ spiritually is by speaking.  I am trying to say that the action of […]

Matt 10:14   And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet So, remember when I said Cancer-Free?  Well. That is for six weeks.  Looks like my life has been cut up into SixWeek chunks.   Every six […]

Luke 2:40 (AMPC) And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace (favor and spiritualblessing) of God was upon Him. [Judg. 13:24; I Sam. 2:26.] this is talking about Jesus.   As we grow to be conformed to Jesus’ image, our spirit will get stronger.  Without a strong Spirit, […]

Yeah, that’s right!  I said the little -c- word, cause I don’t have to think about it any more.   Luke 4:39  And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. Jesús was with me the whole time.  I was just as close to the Lord in pre-op as well as […]

The ‘happily optimistic, preferred expectation’ Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Hope, as we usually use it,  and faith are different. While I love hoping for things, and love being around people who give me hope, it doesn’t come close […]

Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. To be willing to die for something puts everything else into perspective.  Make sure you are willing to lay your life down for Jesus only. As Christians, we must not fear death.   Live this life as a living sacrifice to […]

Hebrews 10:17 “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” I try to be like Jesus.  People laugh, but that’s Gods promise and He does not forget.  He is not capable of forgetting, but He does choose to ‘not remember’ because He loves us.   And He is going to conform us into the ‘Image’ […]

Matthew 12:13 “Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.” From my experience as a missionary, pastor and follower of Jesus, I have noticed that Jesus never has called me to do something I want to do, that I […]

Genesis 18:21 – I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know. When I was a soldier in the 80’s, I pretty much figured out that television news reports were often staged, manipulated and exaggerated, if not totally […]

Hebrews 12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. These are my musings from the week.  I am not a Bible scholar.  I hate […]

But Jesus ignored her.Matthew 15:23 (MSG) I often get accused of ignoring things.  Ignoring things isn’t putting your head in the sand, or being naive or irresponsible.  In fact it’s the opposite. There are things that need to be paid attention to, and things to be ignored.  If you pay attention to everything, at best […]

To know the truth it is important to be like any scientist and ask who, what, where, when and why. In Miami right now, getting checked out by the best.  Unfortunately I will be here for over a month.  Pray for Winnie and the team while I am gone.  They are doing a great job!! […]

Génesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Someone asked me the other day if I took the Bible literally or figuratively (allegorically).  I suspect he was looking for an argument.  I […]

The top picture is of me with Moises.  Pray for him.  He´s briliant, kind, funny, and has an EQ through the ceiling.  I imagine his IQ is even higher.  Wish I could help him more.  Pray that we can finally get that orphanage-old folks home-sustainable farm permit, and the funding to go with.  There´s a […]

Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee ‘whole’ (translated from the Greek word SOZO) ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE!!   The active ingredient for all of these miracles is faith. SOZO in a nutshell means, saved, healed and made whole.   SOZO is translated equally through the […]

The sins of Sodom are not what you thought! God talking to Jerusalem Ezekiel 16:49-50 Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with […]

Although he was my ‘son’ spiritually, he was so much more advanced than I could ever be. JOSE NAPOLEON VILLALTA!PRESENTE! QDP Napo! So. I lost my spiritual ‘son’ today. I put son in quotes because although I had the opportunity to introduce Napoleon to Jesus, he blew past me spiritually. Napoleon Villalta died during his […]
