Had Christ come in the majesty of a king, with the pomp which attends the great men of earth, many would have accepted Him. But Jesus of Nazareth did not dazzle the senses with a display of outward glory and make this the foundation of their reverence. He came as a humble man to be the Teacher and Exemplar as well as the Redeemer of the race. Had he encouraged pomp, had He come followed by a retinue of the great men of earth, how could He have taught humility? how could He have presented such burning truths as in His Sermon upon the Mount? His example was such as He wished all His followers to imitate. Where would have been the hope of the lowly in life had He come in exaltation and dwelt as a king upon the earth? RC 40.5

Psalms 30:5 NKJV For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. ______________________________________ There will be times we disappoint our fellow man and Jesus Christ, but it's very clear that God's anger is but for a moment, and His mercy, His Love is greater. Unlike the anger of man that can go on for hours and days and weeks and months and years. The Lord's mercy is filled with his love for mankind even though we are faulty.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strang...ers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. Hebrews 11:13-16 NKJV https://youtu.be/vJP5XGFbcUQ

Conforme a la fe murieron todos estos sin haber recibido lo prometido, sino mirándolo de lejos, y creyéndolo, y saludándolo, y confesando que eran extranjeros y... peregrinos sobre la tierra. Porque los que esto dicen, claramente dan a entender que buscan una patria; pues si hubiesen estado pensando en aquella de donde salieron, ciertamente tenían tiempo de volver. Pero anhelaban una mejor, esto es, celestial; por lo cual Dios no se avergüenza de llamarse Dios de ellos; porque les ha preparado una ciudad. Hebreos 11:13-16 RVR1960 https://youtu.be/u-O-_WHUxIE

* Friday 19 of November * * Luke 22: 43-46 * Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. ... ** When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. ** Then He said to them, Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Sadness makes you sleepy, makes you miss opportunities, makes you slow to perceive what God has for you. Break with that sadness, that feeling that diminishes you, that traps you in the past. Determine to live in Today and allow God to make you smile again. Let hope return, faith, expectation. Make the decision now. Give yourself the opportunity, get rid of that sadness, you do not deserve to live like this. Wake up!

*Viernes 19 de noviembre* *Lucas 22:43-46* 43 Y se le apareció un ángel del cielo para fortalecerle. 44 Y estando en agonía, oraba más intensamente; y era su sudor como grandes gotas de sangre que caían hasta la tierra.... *45 Cuando se levantó de la oración, y vino a sus discípulos, los halló durmiendo a causa de la tristeza;* 46 y les dijo: ¿Por qué dormís? Levantaos, y orad para que no entréis en tentación. La tristeza te adormece, te hace perder oportunidades, te vuelve lento para percibir lo que Dios tiene para ti. Rompe con esa tristeza, ese sentimiento que te disminuye, que te atrapa en lo pasado. Determínate a vivir en el Hoy y a permitir que Dios te haga sonreír de nuevo. Que vuelva la esperanza, la Fe, la expectativa. Toma la decisión ya. Date la oportunidad, deshazte de esa tristeza, no mereces vivir así. ¡Despiértate!

WHY DID LUTHER CHOOSE HALLOWEEN? It is no accident that the great reformer chose October 31 to post his 95 objections in 1517. The origin of Halloween dates bac...k to a pagan harvest Celtic festival known as Samhain. This festival was adopted by the Romans and later the Catholics who ultimately renamed November 1 as All Saints Day in honor of the deceased Saints. Luther’s main concern was the sale of indulgences. He knew on this occasion great crowds, including the educated classes, would be coming to the church to view the relics of the saints, another practice he protested. All Saints' Day, was also called All-Hallows Day and of course the night before was considered All-Hallows Eve, the precursor of the word Halloween. The church doors of Wittenberg were something of a public bulletin board. Luther knew thousands of pilgrims would see his theses which he hoped would spark study and reform among religious leaders. It worked better than he expected. Great marketing. So, happy Reformation Day! Also make sure to join us this evening as we continue our Panorama of Prophecy series.

* Happy week with Jesus * * Sunday, September 26 * * Colossians 3: 12-14 * 12 Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience;... * 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another (E) if anyone has a complaint against another. As Christ forgave you, so do you. * * 14 And above all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond. * _No matter how painfully we have been hurt, we should not treasure our grievances and sympathize with ourselves because of the offenses that have been inflicted on us, but in the same way as we hope that our offenses to God will be forgiven, so we must forgive to those who have wronged us. (Ellen G. White, SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD Pg.144) _ Link to full devotional here https://m.egwwritings.org/en/book/102.976#976 Let us try to have the love of Christ and hearts without resentments because this takes us away from the path of Jesus, let us honor the Lord by showing mercy, then God will pour out his blessings.

*Lunes 9 de agosto* *Salmos 141:1-2* *1 Jehová, a ti he clamado; apresúrate a mí; Escucha mi voz cuando te invocare.* 2 Suba mi oración delante de ti como ...el incienso, El don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde. La realidad actual que afrontamos puede hacernos desfallecer y tener temor, quizá muchos han sufrido y perdido un ser querido y nos preguntemos ¿Cuándo terminará todo esto? Con certeza te digo, Jesucristo viene pronto, viene para llevar a su pueblo a las mansiones celestiales y tiene una preparada para ti, siempre que lo aceptes como tu salvador. Clama a Dios en todo momento, búscalo en oración, ten una comunicación real, diaria con nuestro Padre Celestial y de esta manera cuando estés pasando por dificultades, ten la certeza de que Dios está a tu lado.

* Monday August 9th * * Psalm 141: 1-2 * A Psalm of David. * 1 LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.*... 2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. -------------------------------------------------- The current reality that we face can make us faint and fear, perhaps many have suffered and lost a loved one and we wonder when will all this end? With certainty I tell you, Jesus Christ is coming soon, he comes to lead his people to the heavenly mansions and he has one prepared for you, as long as you accept him as your savior. Cry out to God at all times, seek Him in prayer, have a real, daily communication with our Heavenly Father and in this way when you are going through difficulties, have the certainty that God is by your side. Amen!!!

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love..., joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
