"Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
The Spirit, Not the Letter
And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord"

Like in the days of Noah
lately I am having dreams that am not yet fully understand, this particular dream was like we wore(me and my family) in the top this high place that looks like a fortress like a safe place ,like top of high building Now I can say more like a big boat ,and this person was talking to me .and we have many birds ,birds that talks ,the person that was with me was telling me to look the horizon , was like open vision and I heard ``was like more them 30 million that died drowned by water, and I saw bodies , hanging in the wall of that place ..in the land everywhere was like that people was got by surprise by a massive body of water ….was not a beautiful picture …and I woke up ….
I am been praying and the dream reminds the story of Noah ,the man who building the boat by faith in the dry land because God told him was going to came a flood ,when wasn’t no sign of rain, what is so interesting how today the weather forecast ,cam forecast any condition of the weather ,much more than the people in Jesus days , Jesus said to them "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.??? , There is a storm coming the winds stated to blow, difficult times for sure will hit many . are we be able to identify the signs . Jesus compare the future event lake the days of Noah ,they wore drinking and eating, marrying and given to marry, until Noah get in to the ark ,, and was to late to apologize, People every day ignore the sings of Gods warning just to go on with there lives ,help us Lord !!
Will you be watching ,Jesus said :take heed so this thing don’t get you by surprise, and Jesus tell us to be careful, to be overwhelmed with the cares of life , and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. for sure hi said ``this time will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth`. Hi said be always on the watch, pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.
I have this question in my mind ,the world end in Noah’s day ?? Certain ,without doubt for many ,but not for Noah,
If you read leave me a comment.

He is risen
After Jesus was crucified, Joseph of Arimathea had Christ's body placed in his own tomb. A large stone covered the entrance and soldiers guarded the sealed tomb. On the third day, a Sunday, several women (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna and Salome are all mentioned in the gospel accounts) went to the tomb at dawn to anoint the body of Jesus.
A violent earthquake took place as an angel from heaven rolled back the stone. The guards shook in fear as the angel, dressed in bright white, sat upon the stone. The angel announced to the women that Jesus who was crucified was no longer in #"the tomb, "He is risen, just as he said." Then he instructed the women to inspect the tomb and see for themselves. Next he told them to go inform the disciples.
May God remove the stone form our hearts so Jesus can rising(become powerful becoming more influential and powerful) in our life’s

The shaken of the Empire Estates of America
3/20/09
Since 2001 God has been dealing with us to cut down on the spending and prepare for this time, a couple years ago back in 2005 I had a dream that just repeated 3 days ago (3/17/09) I dreamed that I was in the top of the Empire State Building, from the top of the building I could see the whole city of New York and the statue of liberty. In the dream when I was still looking down at the city I had a filling :“that I almost forget” after that opened a vision in the horizon of some thing that pointing to the building like a canon . At the same time the statue of liberty was being beheaded and than a strong voice announced day and hour of judgment biguing , the building was full of people but nobody heard or saw anything, everybody was busy doing their work, but me, I was terrified. And the filling came again “It was like I almost forgot “ i almost forgot something that I knew. The last thing I know I was getting my kids to leave the building ..that time I knew I don’t have much time,,.
The sine change now iam in other place like time had pass next thing I know was a big earth quake, was a big devastation ,people running around, many houses down ,was a big shaken that changes the face of the earth … ,,a famous preacher Benny Himm rouse up to give a word of peace in the mist of the chaos ..but was raised above him a young boy ,e he talked with great authority the word of God . Than I woke up, the dream felt so real and vivid almost like I was there.
I devoted my self in prayers to know the meaning of my dream ,3 days later this came to my spirit like a puzzle.
First when Twin Towers on 9/11/2001 the world change forever. Many things have changed, we now are facing consequences and not only is it impacting America, but the whole world. For us in America feels like a wind full of ashes living its destruction in the away . September 2001 to September 2008, equals 7 years to the collapse of united states economy. Is like watching a wounded giant dyeing slowly. I don’t think this is a coincidence ..I don’t know that it is going to happen the same thing again with the Empire State Building, but its like a puzzle its being completed here, since the attack of the WORLD TRADE CENTER the progressive collapse of the economy is putting United States Empire (EMPIRE STATES) down…watch closely ,,is not beam pessimistic ,is been realistic ,next thing people is going to loose there MIND causing revolution, consequently loosing there freedom ... God is going to chake this world in the natural and spiritual see Hebrews 12;26
Is like we almost forget what happen in September 11……
Here is what the lord say:
Here is the word of the lord in Jeremiah 7:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
"Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the LORD.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place.
Do not trust in these deceptive words: 'This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.'
"For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another,
if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm,
then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
"Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.
Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,
and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'--only to go on doing all these abominations?
Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the LORD.
Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel.
And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer,
therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

repentence and the goodness of God
The Church meeting on Thursday was very good, after we have open our hearts, shared some thoughts , God brought conviction that we needed to repent, so we did. I do believe in God’s forgiveness, I know He is a perfect loving kind GOD. I am convinced that we should not stop there in Joel 2 :12-13 the Lord said “Return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and mourning and rend your heart not your garment” That’s why I believe we should not stop there, fasting, weeping, and mourning; is external signs of inward changes, showing that we really mean business with the lord, that’s why He said rend your heart not your garment, because without the heart, would mean nothing. Like Pastor Michael said we need repentance for deleing in obeying God, I must say I am guilty on that one. I don’t want to spend anymore time without receiving my blessing, God spoke to me long time ago in Hosea and Jeremiah, here is the verses:
Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Jeremiah 4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Fasting, weeping, and morning are great tools to break the ground of our hearts, to remove the weeds that more than usual conquer us, remove the thorns that suffocates the seeds of the word of God that we receive after reading our bible and listening to the word on Sunday morning. And we wonder why we have been walking frustrated and feel defeated, NOW we know! Bingo! Its time to seek the Lord TILL HE COMES AND RAIN RIGHTEOUSNESS UPON US. Christ is the rain that will bring our harvest, like Joel said in Joel 2:23. Please read Joel 2 the whole chapter, we must have faith and press on, if we can see in the sky a cloud even like little hand,its can became a abundant rain .. God has been talking to me about the day of Pentecost, Pentecost was a Jewish thanksgiving feast to celebrate the first fruits of the wheat harvest it talks about a celebration of a hard work and preparation and the fruit of it. I firmly believe when the ground of ours hearts and renewing of our minds through repentance, fasting, weeping, and prayer and replacing the weeds and thorns for the word of God and the things of God. Pentecost will also come to for us like in acts 2
Act 2:1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire HOUSE where they were sitting.
We all know what happen after that…..
That can be our JOURNE for ALL NATIONS too!
Love everyone!
