Jesus has set me free from my sin. Praise Him!!! "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36

We should not be afraid knowing that the Lord is with us. We are never alone because we have the Lord God Almighty by our side always.

Yesterday my dad took me and my brother Mark up to Orlando to and visit my mom there. Once, we arrived we both came into the house and greeted my mom and my brother Joshua. Then for most of the entire day we stayed at the house and hung out until my stepdad arrived at the house. Once he arrived me and my brother greeted him and we hung out for a bit and discussed our plans for the evening. We talked about having some pizza from a real Italian restaurant not far from our house. As well as going to Wal-Mart and finding a case for my new iPod which I did get from Christmas and I am happy with it. But what's funny, I don't feel fully satisfied with it because I know I have the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God which makes me much more happier. That means that I am not attached to worldly things anymore, I have been attached to things of the Spirit. Romans 8:5 We left for the Italian pizza restaurant later and ate the pizza which was very good. I was surprised that there was a kid that worked there, so surprising! After that we left to Wal-Mart so me and Mark could look for a case. My mom also did her usual shopping routine as always. Me and Mark were searching for cases for our iPods and we were figuring out which one would be best. We finally found one package that came with three colors in plastic covers. They were blue, pink and black. I got the blue one because I personally like the color blue haha. Then after that we came back home and hung out for the rest of the evening. I wanted to go to sleep on the couch in the living room, but I couldn't so I just went to sleep with my brother on the bed in our room that we usually stay in. My younger brother Joshua that is my mom and stepdad's son, likes to cause a lot of havok around the house making a mess. It's pretty frustrating but we have to deal with it. That was pretty much my day yesterday.

He changed my life. What about you?

My #1 favorite bible verse. Christ lives in me. Hallelujah.

Merry Christmas my brothers my sisters!!! :D

I'm not sure if Christ came down on the earth on this day, but whether he did or not we should celebrating the birth of the Savior every day knowing that He is and only He alone can wash away our sins with His precious blood. Celebrate our Savior coming down to the earth to save us! "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11 Hallelujah and praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords forever and ever to the Lord Jesus Christ who is Lord God Almighty. Amen.

Merry Christmas Eve my brothers and sisters! :) 12/24/12

I love people like this. A person who stands up for the Lord Jesus Christ in this sinful world. God bless this man. Pray for what he is doing.

Today was a pretty chill day and relaxing. We celebrated my dad's birthday yesterday night and we went out to Chipotle to eat. It was very nice. My dad got two gifts for his birthday. He got the movie that he was not expecting and was really excited to receive it which was the movie prometheus. And he also got an iphone 5 even though I saw him using it the days before haha. Eventually my older brother Italo came over and we greeted him and he stayed with us for the night at my house. My dad, brother, stepmom and stepbrother were all watching the movie prometheus on the second floor. Me and my older bro Italo were just talking and hanging out with his dog Annie. The movie was really loud and there was a lot of bloodcurdling screams and stuff within the movie. My brother Mark didn't like it. Then when it came to bed time, I was talking with my brother Mark and kept on talking and was mentioning how I threw my Flip camera in the garbage. My brother asked me how I could throw away something worth a lot of money and was complaining about it. He even got up and told my dad about it after midnight. My dad was also upset that I threw away something that he paid $150 for and gave it to me on my birthday. I was also mad with myself saying in my mind "how could I do that?" I regretted doing that action and will for the rest of my life. Regrets are the worst kinds of things in life, but the worst one is knowing that you have been warned about the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ and not repenting of your sins and turning to Him. And once that person is in Hell, they will regret that decision for all of eternity. And regretting something forever is way worse than some temporary action that we did here while on earth. My dad was planning on getting me the new ipod 5 for Christmas and now that he has heard of what I did to my Flip camera, I doubt that I will get it. But you know what? It doesn't matter because that ipod will not last in this life forever. It doesn't matter if I get it or not because this life is only temporary and won't last forever. Eternal life with the Lord Jesus Christ on the New Heavens and New Earth is going to be even better than using the latest ipod that is useless trash here on earth. Besides, I will get to use that ipod that I did not receive down here on earth. Why? Because technology isn't sinful, it's the product of our human creativity. Nothing that we humans create is sinful, it's just us using our creativity that the Lord gave us to make things since He Himself is a Creator. That is why I am so excited for that rather than getting something down here that I know won't last, and now that I think about it, it gives me a lot of comfort. It makes me feel much better for not getting something down when I can joyfully receive it up there.  But of course, it's not going to compare to the Joy of being with the Lord Jesus Christ. Even if my dad knows about me throwing away my Flip camera and still get me the new ipod 5, that's grace right there. My dad getting me something that I do not deserve at all. That is equal to God's grace. We don't deserve Jesus, Heaven, and all the glorious riches that the Lord has for us, but God graciously gives it to us because He is good and He loves us. Whatever I get for Christmas or don't get, I am still thankful for the greatest gift of all, the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.

A true friend. Be a person with these traits. Be like Jesus.

Who's a true friend?

One who stands in the way of danger to protect you.
One who stands by your side to comfort you at any time of the day.
One who will take your hand and guide you in your lowest times.
One who will go out of the way to make you smile.
One who shares everything new and exciting with you.
One who -fill in your own thoughts-

But most importantly,
One who doesn't expect any of it in return. 

He is worth living for. He is everything. Amen. :)

Today was pretty frustrating for me and my sad. I was not having a good day today at all. My dad is concerned about my new lifestyle that I am living in at my family friends house and does not think it's a good idea. He thinks that I am not eating enough and wants me to maintain my healthiness by eating more and enough. My dad is also concerned about my responsibility actions. I told him how my family friends parents are paying for my groceries and food, and my dad told me that I should be the one to buy my own things, not them paying for me. My dad told me that they are not my parents and that I should be responsible for my own things and pay for them myself. My dad does have a point, but the reason I was asking them to pay for my groceries was because I was afraid I would not have enough money. Well, that is my fault for not trusting the Lord, and I have not been trusting Him like I should. I know the Lord will provide for me, I just have to do my part and start relying on Him more often. My dad is going to cover my budget cost for all of my groceries, and my youth intern job where I earn $150 every two weeks is going to cover my gas for my car. I just have to start committing more of myself to the Lord each day and make sure that I trust Him and no one else. I may be going through some tough times and troubles down here on earth with all the arguing and frustration, but it will be all worth it in the end when I finally see Jesus face to face in Heaven. "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." 2 Corinthians 4:17 The eternal glory that we will reach in Heaven with our new glorious reconstructed bodies and seeing our Lord and Savior, our God, Everlasting Father etc. will be worth all of the troubles that we have endured down here. I am staying in Fremont, California for a reason and that reason is for school. But I know that God's purpose is to have me reach out to lost people with the gospel. God placed me in the bay area for a reason, not only for the people I met there, but for a soul purpose to do work for the Kingdom of God and His work only is the only work that matters down here on earth. Pray that I would endure these problems and may the Lord grant me His peace along with His great love, grace and mercy. Amen.

Hello my brothers and sisters. Yes I am still alive on earth and not in Heaven yet with the Lord Jesus. I had a very nice flight from San Jose to Chicago. And then from Chicago to Ft.Lauderdale. Both flights were great! But I do wish I would have had chick tracts with me so I could leave them all over and pass them to people. But I will do it in the future, that's for sure. Well, Christmas is in seven days and boy am I excited! I can't wait for that day! I may be excited for gifts and being with the family, but I am more excited about thanking my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for coming down to earth to save us from our sin. Even though we don't know when the Lord Jesus Christ came down to earth, we should be thankful every day for what He has done for us. Christmas just brings that joy of celebrating what He did for us and makes it extra special. I am just hanging out at my house right now in Boca Raton, Florida. My older brother Italo is driving down from Gainsville, Florida (that's where he lives) on the 22nd to celebrate Christmas with us. Right now everything is fine and I am ok. Thank you for the prayers my wonderful family whom I will meet with in Heaven and we shall rejoice with our God the Lord Jesus Christ for all of eternity. Hallelujah!!!

I woke up at 6:45 this morning because I had to practice for my Christmas skit this morning. Our skit was about the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. I had to to say that the skit went really well and the audience enjoyed it a lot. You better believe I was tired today haha. People from our sister Church building which is Crosspoint Church of Silicon Valley, (except their's is in another city), came over to visit our Church building. I greeted and introduced myself to them. It's always a joy to meet new brothers and sister for sure. I was hanging out with them a lot and one of them that I met named Steve, invited me to get a drink with him and his friends. One of my new friends gave me money to pay for a drink, which was really nice of him. After we left back to our building and hung out more. There was a basketball game happening later at my Church building, but I could not stay because I had to go home. Tomorrow I am leaving to Florida to visit family there. Please pray for me my brothers and sisters because I get really tense and nervous about being in the airport and going to different gates and finding my gate for sure. I get scared about missing my flight. Please pray that the Lord would give me comfort and peace as well as Him watching over me and protecting me. Also pray for a safe flight all the way to Florida. I am making one stop in Chicago, then from there to Ft. Lauder dale, Florida. I get worried because of this, but pray that the Lord would be with me every step of the way. Thank you so much. God bless all of you and praise the Lord. Amen.

Today is a very rainy day, but it was productive as well. I had to run an errand for my dad in Florida by driving over to Fry's electronics and buying a cable so he could use it for whatever reason. I was struggling at first trying to find it after asking a store employee, but eventually my dad talked with another employee at the store. The man gave me directions for where to find more of the cables that my dad mentioned to the guy on the phone. I walked over and I found the cable that my dad wanted. I felt happy and very accomplished when I found it. I bought it then came home. I cleaned a little of my family friends room, even though the cleaning crew came yesterday, then I read chapters of my bible in 1 Kings. That is the book I am reading right now. I am going to relax at home for the rest of the day, then tomorrow I have to prepare in the morning for my Christmas skit where we are reenacting the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. My character is the husband of the dead girl that Jesus brings back to life. Hopefully my sister can come tomorrow like she did for my improv show. I love rainy days. Thank you for creating them Lord.

My brothers and sister. Today is a very sad day. About 20 children and 6 adults have been killed at Sandy Hook Elementary school this morning around 9am in Newtown, Connecticut. ABout 27 are reported dead at the school. But remember, they are not dead, the bodies are, the person's soul is in Heaven or Hell for all of eternity. This is very sad and is affecting numerous victims friends and families lives right now. Even people around the United States that were not involved in this incident. Right after the Aurora shooting in Colorado, we have now have this? I can't believe it. This makes me sick just reading this article and thinking about what this sinful man has done. He has killed innocent children including adults as well. Right after he pointed the gun to himself and committed suicide. What that gunman should have done is preventing to kill himself. Go to prison, repent of his sins and commit His life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Even though, it was a very wrong thing he did, he would have been a forgiven sinner and would have gone to Heaven to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. But no, instead he decided to not make that decision, kill himself and send his soul directly to the flames of Hell. He was not made for that. He was made to be with the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever. But now, that gunman will be without the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever. Please pray for the victims friends and families that are going through a tough time right now. They need the love and, grace and mercy of our God now. Take a moment and pray right now for them.

P.S. Here is the article about the mass killings at the school if you want to read it.

When I was driving to pick up my family friend Akshay from school today, I came across one of the traffic lights that was red and blinking. Approaching those are difficult because you have to know when to go in traffic. That's when your right of way test comes to mind when you studied the drivers booklet and also took the driving test. I got through it no problem but there was a woman who took a left turn and I stopped in the middle of the intersection and let her go. That was a close one. As I was approaching the next intersection a firetruck was coming on the road to the right and I did what I was supposed to do. I pulled over to the right then after it passed I came back into my lane. As I was in my lane a car on my right unexpectantly showed up and beeped his horn. He gave me a gesture to move over so he could make a right turn, but I couldn't do anything because I had to get back in my lane from pulling on the right side of the lane after the firetruck passed. My heart was racing at that point and was a little scared from what happened. As I pulled into the next intersection I noticed that fish symbol with the Cross inside of it on the back of a car. I knew the Lord placed that car right next to me so I could see that He is with me and was telling me not to be afraid from what happened back at the other intersection. That was a comforting message to me from the Lord. There was a bible study later today at 3:30 at my pastor's house. As I was pulling into my final turn I saw a Cross in the car right behind me. That still encouraged me a lot. When I came to the house a girl who I knew from Church told me that the bible study has been canceled. When I was close to home and was making a right turn into my neighborhood, I noticed yet another Cross hanging from a man's mirror. Wow, the Lord was telling me that He is with me and will never leave me. I felt really relieved from today when the Lord was revealing Himself to me in those little miracles I like to call Godwinks. (Godwinks are a trademark of SQuire Rushnell). Praise the Lord!

Every knee will bow one day to the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Lord God Almighty.

Don't ever give up in prayer. "Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up." Luke 18:1

The Lord God is a forgiving God. He forgives sin and rebellion. "The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion." Numbers 14:18

The bible is powerful and is being persecuted around the world. People don't like and don't want the truth. We must proclaim the Word of God with boldness and with no fear.

Yesterday was an awesome day my brothers and sisters. A friend of mine that graduated from Irvington got baptized today!!! It was a wonderful day yesterday. My friend was really excited to see me because she doubted I would come to her baptism. But I came! I took a few hours off work to watch her and a few others get baptized, and the rest of our Church were watching as well. Then after that, we took off to a restaurant at a near by mall to celebrate. Except that my friend Janice who got baptized could not make it because she was celebrating with her family. After that I left home and prepared to leave to my college for my improv show final that was that evening. I was nervous and excited, but only nervous because my sister and her husband Jacob were coming to watch me perform. The performance went really well and the audience got a good kick out of it and some laughs. Afterward I greeted my sister and her husband and they congratulated me on my performance. They were really excited to see me, mostly my sister and I was the same. We all did not have dinner so I suggested my favorite fast food restaurant Taco Bell haha. While we were there we talked about my performance and improv, etc. Then we both left and drove home. I was really happy that my sister came to watch me. It showed how much she loved me and sacrificed driving miles just to come and watch me perform. It really meant a lot. It's similar to what Jesus did for us on the Cross. Him sacrificing His life, so we can have the gift of eternal life that we do not deserve at all. I plan on inviting more people next semester like friends and also my sister might invite her friends as well to come and watch me.

P.S. This is a balloon that my wonderful sister gave to me after my performance. God bless her! :) And under the balloon picture, is me, my friend Janice who got baptized and my great Christian friend Austin. I am on the left, Janice is in the middle, and Austin is on the right.

Today was a really fun for most of the day. It was because that me and a few classmates of mine went to San Jose to watch an improv comedy show called comedy sportz, which is really funny! I loved the show and I had a good time. A classmate drove me and my other classmates to San Jose and then we hung around and found a place to eat. I didn't eat anything since I already ate mozzarella sticks earlier. I felt that Satan was trying to tempt me stronger than he has before. Because the crowd I was hanging around with was not a Christian group of people. I was hearing a lot of profanity and swearing, but no matter how hard Satan tried to tempt me to swear, I would not do it. Satan can't touch me because I belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. I already belonged to Satan when I lived my disgusting sinful lifestyle, now I belong to Jesus. Amen. Besides that I was noticing in the 9:30 midnight show which was for adults I caught the improvisers mocking the Christian life. They were mocking the Ten Commandments which is sin. That really irritated me. I don't take that. I also noticed that during the show one of the improvisers said "not sinning is for pussies!" Excuse me, sinning is not a good thing and it's breaking the law, the Ten Commandments. You see my brothers and sisters how deceitful we human beings can be. It's also very sad that when I look around, Satan traps the person's mind into thinking that when we are dead, we are gone. That's it. That is not true. How do I know that is not true? Because when you read the book of Luke chapter 16:19-31, you see in that chapter the story of the Rich man and Lazarus. When the rich man died he ended up Hell, since he did not get to repent and get back on track. Instead he took it the hard way for all of eternity and he will be burning in Hell forever and ever. My brothers and sisters, this should not happen to anyone to all of the lost people around us. May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified forever and shine. Amen.

God speaking

When I was driving this evening to pick up my friend from school, I noticed on the back of a car that said "Give Jesus a chance. He died for the opportunity." I also saw a sticker with the K-Love logo, which is the Christian station here in the bay area. I knew that that the Lord was talking to me and using that sticker as a way of communicating with me. I know that for sure. God can talk to you in many ways, you just got to ask Him to speak to you and watch as He reveals Himself to you through life. I believe that the Lord was telling me that I should give more time over to Jesus and His Word and spend more time with Him, knowing that He died to set me free. I was recently talking with the Lord yesterday night and said a very heartfelt prayer, and I believe the Lord sent me this today to tell me what was up. I should spend more time in the Word of God and less time on my laptop wasting time on the internet. I should be reading the Word of God daily and not just on several occasions. I have not been reading the Word recently, and I firmly do believe the Lord told me this tonight as a sign to take Him more seriously. Jesus gave me life, not myself. Jesus gave me everything and I should acknowledge that more often and be thankful for all that He has given me. Pray for me, my brother's and sister's that I may be more serious about talking with the Lord and giving Him more attention than ever. God is good and may His glory and love shine forever and ever. Amen.

Yes! Amen!

Amen. :)

Today is the first day of December and Jesus is the reason for the winter season. Amen.

A divine appointment at school 11/30/12

I had a nice relaxing day early in the morning since everyone was gone busy with things to do. I had to go to a appointment later to meet my counselor to register for my new classes next semester. I arrived at my college right on time around 4 which was perfect timing. I thought that I was going to be called for my appointment very soon, but no counselor showed up. Apparently a guy working in the desk behind the counter heard that the counselor's were going to be late because they were stuck in traffic. Another girl who was there was also waiting for the counselor's as well. Me and her started chatting and we became acquainted really quickly. I found out her name was Leslie and she seemed nice when I met her but liked to use a lot of profanity. She told me that she doesn't normally act like that, but it just depends on what makes her angry. These deaf people came into the floor that me and Leslie were on and they started communicating in sign language. I was watching them communicate like I always do, and it's always fun and entertaining to watch deaf people talk. It amuses me a lot. Then one of them made eye contact with me and said hi, then he asked me if I sign. I told him no, but I did tell him my name. I think his name was believe, don't remember that much haha. Later on a woman asked by and we were asking her questions about the counselors since they haven't arrived yet. I thanked her by saying thank you in Chinese (Mandarin), but she told me that she is not Chinese. She told me that she is Japanese. I then said thank you in Japanese and started smiling and laughing. I also said something in Japanese and she smiled and laughed as well as that. It's nice to speak in another person's language because it makes them feel a lot more comfortable. Me and Leslie chatted for a little bit, but then I turned the conversation to the guy sitting in the back. His name was Neil and he was a really nice and quiet chill guy. We had a good conversation about video games and play station, etc. I didn't talk to him about Jesus, but when I see Neil again, you bet I will talk to him about the Lord Jesus Christ. Later on, I asked Leslie an interesting question which was what's happening spiritually in her life. And she told me that she is a Catholic. She told me that she is a believer, but she is not a strong committed believer like her parents. She told me she has a bible, but never reads it. Isn't that sad? A person who owns the most powerful book in the world, but has never opened it and read the truth. It makes me think how people are so absorbed in this world, that they think more about worldly things, rather than the things about the Lord. I shared with her about Jesus, sin, and she definitely knew about sin, so I told her about what the blood of Jesus Christ could do for her, which was to wash away all of her sin so she can go to Heaven. It seemed like Leslie did not care about what I was telling her, but a seed has been planted. And the Lord can definitely use a planted seed for sure. She told me that she doesn't like to read, but would rather read facebook posts and twitter posts, than read some material on truth like the very popular book one heartbeat away, or even better the Word of God which is the Holy Bible. What was originally supposed to be an appointment with a counselor, was actually a divine appointment that the Lord has set up and used me to plant a seed in Leslie's life. I have planted a seed in Leslie's life and I will be praying for her. I am asking you my brother's and sister's to please pray for the person that I just met today, Leslie. She needs the Lord Jesus Christ and is not saved. May the Lord interact in her life and show Himself to her. Praise the Lord! He is worthy to be praised forever and ever. Amen.

A quotation from Martin Luther King Jr. What a man of God. :)

This is how I respond to an unknown stranger who sent me a friend request.

Hello Kassidy. My name is George, normally I would accept a friend request, but I don't know you at all and where you are from. Please don't take this as a misunderstanding. I am openly friendly, but I don't know you personally and have not been acquainted with you at all. But I do want to say that I love you and that I want to see you in Heaven one day. And I just wanted to tell you that if you have lied, stolen, lusted, been angry with someone, then you are guilty of committing those sins against an all holy God who is the Lord Jesus Christ. And are guilty of breaking the Ten Commandments. He will have no choice but allow you to go to Hell because of your decision to reject Him as you might have in the past. But Jesus Christ loves you so much that He gave His life for you on the Cross and died for you sins. And the blood that He shed on the Cross can wash away all of your sins, only if you repent of the nasty lifestyle that you are living now, and turn to Christ and put your faith in Him. Then He rose from the dead to show that He is the Ressurected Savior, the Living One who is alive forever and ever. I am asking you this Kassidy out of my heart, and I am telling you this only because I care about you. If I didn't care about you, I would not be writing this long paragraph that I just did, and would have ignored you. But I will not do that, because you matter to the most high God, the Lord Jesus Christ you created you and loves you as His own. And if you matter to Him, you matter to me. Please think about the consequences of your own actions and what you are doing with your life. Once you die, there is no turning back and eternity is an awfully long time to regret something. Hope you heard me out loud and clear Kassidy, and take care. Only Jesus can save you. :) P.S. Please check this book out and order one asap.http://oneheartbeataway.org/

I can picture me as the child and God holding me like He is in this picture. I love you Jesus. Thank you for dying for us. You are to be praised forever and ever. Amen. :)

A sick week

So far for me this week has been good for me, but it has been a sick week for me as well. I don't know if I got sick after I came back from my winter youth retreat with my Church or if I am allergic to something. It could be either one, but I doubt that it's something having to do with my retreat. Please pray that the Lord will heal my sickness as soon as possible. I will continue to take medicine for sure, but this cold is really annoying me. I will continue to praise the Lord even in the midst of my sickness because no matter what is going on in my life He deserves all the praise and glory. Stay close to the Lord my brothers and sisters. We need Him. To Him be the glory. Amen and amen.

The Lord Jesus Christ always has something better for us. Amen! :)

This gives me a lot of comfort because I always doubt that I will have a wife. The Lord will give me the right person in His timing. Amen. :)

The Church is not a building, it is a body. The body of Christ. And they are to get up, get out of their building and preach the gospel. Amen!!!

Follow the Lord no matter what because He is everything. Amen. :)

Just step out of your comfort zone and trust the Lord to take care of you. He will always take care of you because He is always faithful. :)

"Heaven is going to be sweet!!! Sweeter than cotton candy." -George Lenta Jr. Isaiah 65:17-25 Hallelujah!!! 

"Young men and old men, and sisters of all ages, if you love the Lord, get a passion for souls. Do you not see them? They are going down to Hell by the thousands. As often as the hand of the clock completes its circuit, Hell devours multitudes, some of them ignorant of Christ and others willfully rejecting Him. The world lies in darkness. This great city still pines for the light. Your friends and relatives are unsaved, and they may be dead before this week is over. If you have any humanity, let alone Christianity, if you have found the remedy, tell the diseased about it! If you have found life, proclaim it to the dead. If you have found liberty, convince it to the captives. If you have found Jesus, tell others of Him!" - Charles Spurgeon

Prayer for Israel

Let us pray for the nation of Israel that is under attack and that is in the middle of their conflict with Gaza. Pray that the Lord would grant the people of Israel peace and love. And let us also pray for the Lord's mercy to be upon those who are attacking Israel and it's people. May the Lord grant the enemies forgiveness so they can repent and turn to faith in Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is fighting for His nation and is not backing down. We are on Israel's side and the Lord will protect His country no matter what. God is sovereign over all and forever. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure." Psalm 122:6 Amen.

"I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved." -Jesus, John 10:9 

Amen!!!

Bible verses

"I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:21-22 Whatever you are praying for, believe in whatever it is that you want, and the Lord will give it to you. Amen. 

A relationship with the Lord, is more important than any earthly relationship. Praise the Lord for His love!!!

Gospel tracts

Gospel tracts are my absolute favorite when going witnessing. They are gospel ammunition when you are out on the battle field harvesting precious souls for the Lord Jesus Christ. What I do is that I place tracts in conspicuous (where it can be seen) areas wherever I am. Now your first thought may be "why would you do that?" But who say's that you can't do the work of the Lord secretly or another way. It's not wrong or anything. As long as you are doing the Lord's work and serving Him, that is what matters. Every time I at school, (when I have gospel tracts), I place them on the toilet seats in the men's bathroom to give anyone who enters the stalls, a surprise. I am definitely planning on ordering more and placing as well as passing them out at various locations when I drive around. You can order any kind of gospel tracts that you want online, but these one's that I found have won souls and are very popular. They are called chick tracts. Check them out down below! God bless you my brothers and sister and be bold for the Lord and stay close to Him and His Word. The Lord will be coming very soon like "a thief in the night." 1 Thessalonians 5:2 http://chick.com/articles/suggestedtracts.asp

And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:27

This morning I had breakfast and then left for the bank. When I arrived, there was a few people waiting in line at the atm and it was busy. I started using the atm and I realized something was not right. First of all the display screen was deeply faded and I could not see which deposit type I wanted to use. When I inserted my $20 bill into the machine, it returned it back to me and I tried again. When I inserted the bill back in, the screen was not responding and was not displaying anything. Then the screen displayed a red triangle with an exclamation point on it saying "this atm is temporarily out of service." And what was even worse was that the $20 bill that inserted into the machine, did not give it back to me. And my balance was not updated and I could not finish using the atm. As I was going back to my car this car, this car in front of me with me Hispanic people start laughing. This woman from the car was laughing at me the most and these other two men in the car start staring at me. All of them start staring at me and I just walked away, I don't why they were staring at me which was strange, but I kept going. I was thinking to myself "Lord, how could you let that $20 bill go to waste?" I was driving back just dazed and wondering how that $20 bill was wasted and how I could not do anything about that. But then I realized something. Last night a mom that is a member of our Church came up to me and gave me $20 bill because she loved what I was doing with the money to glorify God by buying gospel tracts and spreading the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. I thought about that and said to myself that the $20 bill didn't matter, it was her action that has had the most impact on me. I don't care about the money, I cared about her action and what she did for me. She offered me a free gift that I don't deserve and couldn't even earn, but she gave it graciously to me. It's the same with Jesus Christ. We don't deserve His grace but he gives it to us. We deserve His mercy, but He does not give it to us. Jesus is giving Himself to us as a free gift and we don't deserve it at all. The Lord taught me a valuable lesson today, which is to be thankful. Love is an action and what that mom gave to me is one gift that I will never forget.

I had a very productive day today. First of all after breakfast (I had Lucky Charms, those are delicious), I left to my college to go and do some work for my English lab that I had to do. It was a lot of work but it was definitely worth the effort I put in. After that I went to the men's bathroom to go and place three chick gospel tracts in there. It's so fun to do, because it gives people a surprise! Then I went home to wash my car, then after to go and pick up my family friend from school. What a great day that I got to glorify the Lord in what I did. Such a blessing and an awesome experience and feeling! Colossians 3:23-24, 1 Corinthians 10:31 I also got youth groups tonight! Praise the Lord!!! His Love, Grace and Mercy never ends, hallelujah.

Amen. God's love never fails. His love is unconditional and never-ending. Praise Him for His unfailing love. Hallelujah. :)

This is what my future family is going to look like according to my friend haha.

The Perfect Stranger

The Perfect Stranger is a movie about a woman who is struggling in her family is in wanting of love from her husband. When she goes to dinner at a restaurant, from getting an invitation from an unknown person. The person she meets will change her life forever. Here is a link to the movie down below. Please watch it. This movie moved me to tears of joy. :)

Well, I finally got a job if I did not mention that before. The Lord has finally answered my prayer about praying for a job. And it's the perfect job! I now work with a Church and the building is called Crosspoint Church of Silicon Valley located in the city of Milpitas. So far the experience has been awesome and I love working with the kids and the rest of the Church! Today was a pretty normal every day experience, nothing really special. But worshiping the Lord always brings an exciting experience all the time! I played with the kids as always, and played badminton with a kid named Zack (I call him my badminton buddy haha). Me and him play badminton every Sunday when there is break. I also socialized with everyone else like always. I know most of my youth groups names, but I want to learn more about them, like how the Lord knows all of us. I want to get to know them personally. So after Church, me and my new friend Derek left to the Great Mall to meet up with these other girls from our youth group. Once we met them, we left to various shopping stores and checked them out. But all of us stayed in this one for a while. Then I had to leave later on because my Connect bible study group was having a potluck at my Church building. We had worship then, had communion. The food was good by the way (those KFC mashed potatoes and gravy are delicious!). And then my pastor discussed about various things that were important. When I was at this event I started a brief conversation with a friend that I have not talked to for a while. I told her that I had not talked with her for a while and I thought that she was ignoring me. But of course that was not true at all. She told me that she cared a lot about me and that she was not ignoring me, but sometimes does that. Then she told me something very encouraging which was that when we are in Heaven, we'll talk a lot more than we ever will down here on earth! That made me very happy and definitely lifted my spirits a lot. Isaiah 65: 17-25, the Lord is describing Himself what Heaven is really going to be like! Hallelujah! I can't wait to be with the Lord and all my loved ones that have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ! And of course, I can't wait to meet you all who are praising our marvelous God who is amazing beyond words! After the event was over, I just went home. But man, what a great day. The Lord is constantly guiding me and leading me into His love every day. Pray that He will sustain us and keep the faith until the end. Amen.

Ah halloween, or as the holiday was originally called hallows-eve. The night where kids dress up in detailed colorful costumes and walk happily to random houses to obtain a sweet sugary candy. But halloween is the night where human sacrifices take place and this ACTUALLY DOES HAPPEN. Satanists of the Wicca religion partake in worshiping the demon above all demons, Satan, or the devil himself. Jesus called Satan the great liar and deceiver and said there is no truth in him. He is also referred to as the father of all lies. John 8:44. Christians we must be very careful on this holiday, even though the holiday is over, don't miss this great opportunity to speak the truth in love to all who are lost. We must be careful not to indulge in the lies that are being spread about halloween being a "fun" holiday. We must embrace this holiday as a battle between good and evil. We must put on the armor of God Ephesians 6:10-18, to protect ourselves against untruth, which comes from Satan. Anyway's I wanted to tell you guys about my night and what I did. Well, first of all I visited my Japanese friend who does not live that far from my house. I walked down to her house to say hello and how are you. Then after I talked to her I went trick or treating or as I like to call it take and reading, since I give people a gospel tract and they read it! Instead of me boldly walking up to people and giving a gospel tract up front, I went to cars and placed them there. But it is that ok? Of course it is, you can do the work of the Lord any way you like! You just got to be creative. You can glorify the Lord just by placing a tract anywhere conspicuously (a spot that people can see). As long as you are doing the work of the Lord, that is what matters. And the Lord Jesus Christ is most pleased with that. So I placed chick comic book tracts on people's cars as I was walking back to my house. And I also placed a tract on a person's jack-o-lantern! That's a very creative idea! Please pray that the Lord will open up these people's hearts to the gospel. I just want these people to hear the gospel once, then make a decision for the Lord Jesus Christ. It's not my job to get people saved, that is the Holy Spirit's job. And the Holy Spirit convicts people of their sin so they can repent of their sins and place their faith in Christ. I also got some candy when I was out, but not a lot. But I did get a few of my favorite candies from my family friend! Yay! Well that is an overview of my night, except I did not get to do my English hw that I was supposed to do. -_- Time goes by wayyy too fast, it really does. That is why we must use it wisely for our Lord my brothers and sisters. Well, God bless all of you my friends and may the Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Stand tall for Him in the days to come and keep reading your bibles and keep fighting the good fight for the faith. Praise the Lord!!! Hallelujah!

"We are headed to the Joyce Meyer conference tonight - to share the Gospel because it will not be shared by Joyce. We're going to talk with people outside of the stadium and learn what they believe it takes for a person to go to Heaven and then gently share the Gospel with them. I am sure we will meet a lot of people who have asked Jesus into their heart but have never understood the exceeding sinfulness of sin or come to a place of genuine repentance. The message that Joyce preaches is not the Gospel we find in Scripture. We are called to speak the Truth in love. We will do both tonight. Please pray for open doors and ready hearts." -Josh Page This is a friend of mine Josh Page. I don't have time to talk with him because he is being so bold for the Lord Jesus Christ and is sharing the gospel with people all the time. He is going to share the gospel at this event which is the Joyce Meyer conference that my pastor's wife and her friend went to watch. They told me it was good, but according to what Josh and what I have read, she is not preaching the true biblical gospel. Everything that a person teaches must be from the Word of God and must be biblical. If it is not biblical, then get as far away from it as possible. Read and study your bibles well my dear brothers and sisters. Their teachings may sound good, but is it biblical? That is the question. Read, then obey what you read from the Scriptures and get some good solid gospel tracts to give out to the lost. And talk with people about the Lord Jesus Christ before it is too late! Time is running out ladies and gentlemen. Make the best of it. God bless! :)

Today was another fun day today in my improv class. That class never gets boring, and it never will for anyone who takes it in the future. We learned a new improv game in class that is just like rock, paper, scissors, but instead their are two teams and you both agree on doing an action that the rest of the team has to do as well. And if a team wins then they have to tag members on the other team so they can bring them over to their team. There are three actions that you can do. One is Giants, Elves, and Wizards. I know that Giants beat Elves, but I don't know about the rest. Then after, we were working on doing scenes with a partner by listening to them and acting according to what their partner was doing and just go with it. We were still learning how to show and not tell while we were improving. Our improv teacher was telling us that when there is a golden opportunity to show action, we should take it and do it. After class was over I finally had an opportunity to talk with this girl that I kinda have a crush on. I had the boldness to ask her if she wanted to hang out sometime, (her name is Naya). She said yes and she also told me something else that I don't remember. Then after that was my English class and our teacher lectured again as always. We were also starting a new unit that is on facts and opinions. We discussed and participated on that in class today. We also did our classwork on this separate website while working on the computers. Once class was over and I was walking back to my car, I overheard these two people talking about something that interests me. I heard one guy say "apostle Paul" and "Jesus is the only God". I decided to butt in and ask them what they were talking about. They told me they were talking about stuff from their religious studies class. So me and two of these friends start talking with me about what they were taught in their class and about religion and all that. And I know a lot about religion and I am planning on taking a New Testament class next semester if the class is still available (that was one of the questions I asked one of the two guys). I ended up talking with this guy named Pete who is a Christian and we were discussing about the Christian faith, etc. He was a really nice guy and he ended up giving me his number and email! You never know what you can expect when you have boldness and just open up with boldness and talk with people. But I knew the Lord set that up for a reason, but I just don't know the particular reason why. I would love to keep in touch with him and talk with more and also encourage him on being a bold man of the Lord Jesus Christ in the coming days! Praise the Lord!!!

Amen.

Today after school, I got to spend some time with my older brother Italo which was great. He came over to the house I was staying and then we left. We had to go to our storage facility so he could get his camper gear out of my storage unit. After that we left to the local thrift store because my brother Italo needed to buy towels and a blanket for his camping trip. When me and him were in the store I noticed a woman wearing a keychain necklace that said "I love Jesus." What an encouragement from the Lord! After that, we decided to go to Wendy's to get frosty's. They were delicious, yum. After that, then we left back to my family friends house where I was staying at and we just hung out there. My older brother Italo greeted my family friend's parents that he has not seen for a long time. And thay talked for a short time before my brother left to my sister's house in Mountain View. But what a nice day to spend with a family member. Just me and my brother and I am thankful to the Lord that I was able to do that. And the best part is that he is coming back to visit me again after his trip and spend a few more days with me in the bay area before he returns back to Florida! What an awesome opportunity! Praise the Lord!!!

Bible verse

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 Amen. Repent (turn away from) of your wickedness (evil) and put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Then the gift of eternal life will be yours. 

Before my eyes

As I was driving home with my family friend in my car after I have picked him up after school, we stopped at an intersection. As we were waiting, suddenly two cars collide right into each other in a huge crash! I was just stunned when I saw this. I wanted to get out of my car and do something, but the light was about to turn green soon. I thought to myself how fast our lives can end that they can end so quickly. The question is when? I have never witnessed a live head on collision between two vehicles before. I have seen it online, but never in front of my eyes. There was a little girl involved in the accident, but she was not injured. No one that I saw was injured at all. I don't know if there were any major injuries, but there were no major injuries I am sure about that. There was a green truck and a white SUV that were the main course of the accident. Life can go by so fast just like it says in the James 4:13-14. Read that part of Scripture and let it soak into your mind about how are lives are like vapors. We need to start sharing the Lord Jesus Christ with all these lost people before they die and burn in Hell for all of eternity. I don't want that happening to anybody, and neither should you. We should be out there passing tracts out to lost people and telling them about the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise Him!!! Amen.

The Watchmen

I recently got Mark Cahill's new book The Watchmen which focuses on how to be a watchmen in the coming days for the Lord Jesus Christ. I am already on chapter 3 and let me tell you this book has a ton of passion like no other book I have ever read. (The bible of course is the best). I have read Mark's previous two books One thing you can't do in Heaven and One heartbeat away which are excellent books by the way. But this new book The watchmen is just firing me up right now for Jesus Christ, and I haven't even finished reading the entire book yet! I strongly encourage you to get this new book The Watchmen and may it let you speak boldly into the lives of lost people that you care about. We must care about these souls as much as God does and the Cross proves it. Will you be a watchmen in the coming days before the Lord Jesus Christ returns?

Amen!!! My gmail is jesusuperhero haha, oh yeah!

We all need Jesus

We all need Jesus in our lives. Think about it. Wasn't there something in your life that was missing but you just did not know what it was? Or you thought you had everything you ever wanted, yet it didn't bring you the satisfaction that you desired? I used to be just like that. I used to love playing video games and getting the best score because I thought that would bring me the happiness I wanted. Or to have the most beautiful girlfriend ever. Someone that I could love, hug, and have a family with. I thought these two things and everything else would bring me the best happiness I could get. But I was wrong. It was until I found Jesus, and who He was and still is forever and ever. This awesome person named Jesus, who is the true and living God who came down from the glories and riches of Heaven to be born on earth as a human being. He is God in the flesh. He lived a perfect sinless life and was accused, abused and mistreated just because He was claiming to be equal with God which is the same as claiming to be God. Then He was nailed to a Cross and died there for our sins and shed His blood so every sin that we have ever committed in our lives by breaking the Ten Commandments could be washed away. Then on the third day, He rose again conquering death! Then He was lifted to Heaven sitting at the right hand of God. And He will return again very soon to gather His righteous ones or those who have been born again. We must be ready and we must be the watchmen to warn the wicked that if they do not repent of their evil ways, they will burn in Hell for all of eternity! We must blow the trumpet to warn them. the truth is, we all need Jesus and people won't realize that unless we tell them they have broken the law (the Ten Commandments) so they can know that only Jesus can save them from their sins since He shed His blood to wash them away. May we all tell people about this indescribable person named Jesus and His magnificent Word, the bible. Jesus is Lord God Almighty! Praise the Lord!!! Amen.

God is just amazing

Yesterday when I went to pick up my family friend and his friend after school, on my way their I spotted a car that was directly in front of me. And there was a decal on the car that said "Trust in the Lord." I couldn't believe it. I looked into the sky saying to the Lord "Lord, you are just amazing. You just keep showing yourself to me." Wow, what a comforting reminder from the Lord telling to just keep my trust in Him and don't give up no matter what. Jesus is communicating with you every day. You just gotta pay attention and ask Him to show you what He wants to tell you, and what His will is. Praise the Lord!!! Amen.

We all suck without Jesus. But because we do commit our lives to Him, we don't suck at all! Praise the Lord!!!

We are redeemed and forgiven. Hallelujah.

Amen!!! :D

Yesterday I finished my hw for college and left to my Church building for youth groups. When I arrived I came out of my car and was just amazed at what I was looking at in the sky. I was looking at the beautiful pink clouds in the sky and I was just staring at it for seconds. Once I came to the second floor of my Church building, I greeted everyone then I went back to the glass window and stared into the sky for minutes. It looked absolutely gorgeous. It was as if the Lord just painted that scene in the sky with a paintbrush. The pink sky and the beautiful golden yellow clouds, (and they were pink as well) just took my breath away. It was so stunning just to marvel at that sky that the Lord made because the art that He put into it is just so mind-blowing. Wow, God creation is just awesome. I am amazed at the Creator. I can't wait for more new awesome things that He is going to keep creating in Heaven!!! Hallelujah.

This is one of my favorite all time bible verses

Amen. The Word of God gives peace. Hallelujah. :)
