Listen, Someone Wishes To Talk To You


LISTEN, SOMEONE WISHES TO TALK TO YOU


By: Gladys Raquel Hernández








Kingdom of heaven, where time no longer exists…


Today, I wish to reach an agreement with you. I know you perfectly well and I want you to know me too. I will always love you and I wish you love me too. Listen, I want you to know I am standing at your heart´s door and I am calling you. Should you open your heart, I will be able to enter and establish a love relationship with you. Therefore, you will be able to know me. Should you close your heart, I respect your decision, but you will never be able to know me, even though I know you well. Do you know? One day, I decided to die by being stuck in a cross with nails, and thus, I payed the blood price in order to save you from all your sins and redeem you. Do you know? I am not reproaching this to you. I did so out of pure grace and love, a pure and eternal love that my Father put into my heart. Maybe your did not know about this, maybe you did. However, today I wish to talk to you. I rose from the dead 2000 years ago and I now live in an eternal body and I observe you all the days of your life. Listen, I will return from heaven to take you with me at any moment from now on, as I have prepared an incorruptible and eternal body for you such as the one I live in. I want you to be ready for this event. Otherwise, I will not be able to take you with me. In order to get this, you must know me. Do you know who I am?

JESUS CHRIST, YOUR SAVIOR


Buenos Aires

In my capacity of servant of God, working in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I also wish to talk to you. I was called by our Lord, Jesus, to act as a bridge between God and people who wish to know Him. I am not religious. I have only had personal encounters with Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. It is my desire that you get to know Him and learn that His Holy Spirit “still” moves on Earth and continues giving redemption opportunities (resume the broken relationship between God and the human race) to those people who still do not know Him well and wish to have communion and contact with Him, by means of the repentance of sins.

We should consider the following biblical verses:

Adam and Christ

“Adam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die. Sin was in the world before the Law came. But no record of sin was kept, because there was no Law. Yet death still had power over all who lived from the time of Adam to the time of Moses. This happened, though not everyone disobeyed a direct command from God, as Adam did. In some ways, Adam is like Christ who came later. But the gift that God was kind enough to give was very different from Adam´s sin. That one sin brought death to many others. Yet in an even greater way, Jesus Christ alone brought God´s gift to kindness to many people”. (Romans 5:12-15)

The Lord has given me two clear messages to share. The first one refers to His love towards all of us and is very important for people who are anguished, depressed or those who wish to commit suicide.

The Lord says:

WHEN I DECIDED TO CREATE THINGS, YOU WERE INCLUDED AMONG THEM ALL, WITH REGARD TO ALL THAT I DID NOT CREATE. SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!

The second message refers to His second coming, because He will return from heaven at any moment from now on, according to the biblical prophecies (1º Thessalonians 4:16-17), to take with Him all those people, alive and death, who love Him or have loved Him with all their hearts during their lives.

The Lord says:

“IF ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE PLANET ROSE THEIR HANDS TO HEAVEN INVOKING MY NAME WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS, THAT DAY, MY FATHER WOULD SEND ME TO FETCH YOU IN ORDER TO LIVE ETERNALLY WITH ME IN MY KINGDOM OF PEACE, LOVE, JOY AND JUSTICE…! THEN, WARS, STARVATION, PLAGUES, EARTHQUAKES, MURDERS AND SINS WOULD NO LONGER OCCUR…. YOU ARE “JUST” ABOUT TO ACHIEVE AN EXCELLENT LIFE QUALITY AND TO HAVE AN ETERNAL AND INCORRUPTIBLE BODY!!!

HOW TREMENDOUS GOD´S DREAM!!!

JESUS CHRIST´S GREATER DESIRE IS THAT YOU HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH HIM AND KNOW HIM WELL!

AMEN!!!

How Can I Have A Personal Encounter With God?


HOW CAN I HAVE A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH GOD? IS IT POSSIBLE TO ENCOUNTER GOD?




By: Gladys Raquel Hernández




God has got plans and purposes for each person living in this planet, provided we open our sincere hearts to Him and provided we give God the right place to enter and live into us forever.
“Listen, I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together”. (Revelation 3:20)

“If I put a glass on the table and I try to pour out some liquid into it, but you cover the glass with your hand, the liquid will spill and it will not enter the glass. Instead, if you do not block the way, the liquid will fill the glass. The liquid would be the Lord, Jesus, who intends to enter your heart and the glass would be your heart which opens to gives Him place into your life”.

“If I attend the best odontological center in which there are several diplomas on the wall, the best armchair, instruments and the best professional, but I sit down and refuse to open my mouth to be examined, the odontologist will neither press nor compel me to do anything I just do not want to do. Likewise, the Holy Spirit of God will not compel me to do anything either if I do not want or refuse to, or if I am not prepared to let Him start treating with my life”.

I may have personal encounters with Jesus Christ, if I surrender to Him entirely and if I render my sincere heart to Him. Jesus is the Son of the living God, who is exactly like God, who cannot be seen. He is the first-born Son, superior to all creation (Colossians 1:15).


Jesus said:

“If you have seen me, you have seen the Father”. (John 14:9)
“And I am one with the Father”. (John 10:30)

There are multiple ways to encounter Jesus as there are multiple human beings all round the world. God chooses the right way to relate with every one of us to start treating with our lives, due to His eternal and unconditional love and grace towards the human race. (Jeremiah 31:3)

God´s love towards us is eternal, perfect, genuine, good, benign, benevolent, sacrificed, inconmensurable and disinterested (Galatians 5:22 - Philippians 2:8). Therefore, He will always insist and knock at our hearts´s door until we answer. God demands spiritual growth on the part of us so that we can transmit it to other people with the sole purpose of spreading out His kingdom all round the world.

“Each of you has been blessed with one of God´s many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others”. So use your gift well”. (1º Peter 4:10)

Therefore, we should be on the alert and attentive to God´s call. He is going to manifest Himself to each person in some special way at any time of his life. Each person will perceive God´s call and will receive revelation and understanding on the part of his Creator if he has a well-disposed and humble heart, if he leaves conceit and pride aside and if he surrenders completely to Him.

AMEN!!!

How Must My Heart Be In Order To Encounter God?


HOW MUST MY HEART BE IN ORDER TO ENCOUNTER GOD? WHO DOES THE ENCOUNTER DEPEND ON? DOES IT DEPEND ON GOD, ON ME, OR ON THE TWO OF US?


By: Gladys Raquel Hernández





I must have an open heart in order to encounter God. It should be well-disposed, ready, prepared, moulded, full of expectancies, clean, if possible, without any sign of anguish, sadness, sorrow, pain, or rancour whatsoever, so that my encounter with God may be good and effective. Sometimes, this is rather difficult to achieve, for we often resort to God when we are undergoing serious difficulties, trials, problems and hindrances throughout our lives.

However, the Lord will lead us and put spiritually grown human beings at our side, so that they can help us to grow and mature in our faith and in our spiritual life of love relationship and communion with God. The Lord promised that He would never abandon us and that He would be with us every single day of our lives helping us in our Christian career. (Matthew 28:20 – Isaiah 41:10 – Psalm 27:10)

The Lord says that when He sees a hard heart, He will turn it into a good heart, so that He can enter and live into it forever.

The following biblical verses state what has been said:

"Then I will take away your stubborness and make you eager to be completely faithful to me. You will want to obey me”. (Ezekiel 11:19)
“I will give them a desire to know me and to be my people. They will want me to be their God, and they will turn back to me with all their heart”. (Jeremiah 24:7)
“I will make their thoughts and desires pure. Then they will realize that, for their own good and the good of their children, they must worship only me”. (Jeremiah 32:39)

We can clearly appreciate through these verses that if we open our sincere hearts to God, He will start preparing us, training us and guiding us day by day, during all our lives. However, He neither can nor want to compel us to do anything considering He has given us freedom to decide: According to our election, we will have to face the consequences or not, thereinafter.

The encounter depends basically on me, as I make up my mind to open my heart or not, considering God has conferred free will to us in order to decide. Likewise, God offers Himself through His Holy Spirit to change our heart if necessary: to mould, to heal, to clean, to purify and to restore it completely and integrally. That is, it is a joint work between God and me: I open my heart and He treats and works with my life.

Therefore, God also yearns to have encounters with us and to establish a love relationship forever with us in order to make us His children, if we accept Jesus Christ as our only savior through the repentance of sins with the final aim to give us eternal life!!!


AMEN!!!

Is God Interested in Me?

IS GOD INTERESTED IN ME?




By: Gladys Raquel Hernández













It would be proper to answer this question considering the following biblical verses:

"God loved
the people of this world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent Him to save them!” (John 3:16-17)


I firmly believe that these concepts are very clear to show that God is interested in the human race and that He loves it. God loves us and has created us to have a love relationship with Him.

Jesus said:


“I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest”. (John 10:10)
But the thing is that the entire human race created, is sinful and the sin which lives into all of us, has separated us from God: our Creator. The love relationship that existed between human beings and God at the Eden garden, broke down as from the disobedience on the part of the man and the woman. (Genesis 3:24)


The following biblical verses refer to these concepts:

“All of us have sinned and fallen short of God´s glory”. (Romans 3.23)
“You were dead, because you were sinful and were not God´s people. But God let Christ make you alive, when He forgave all our sins”. (Colossians 2:13)

The consequence of being sinful is the separation from God: The spiritual death. That is, the human being is completely lost. A great abyss separates the man from God.

Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the Son of the living God is the only solution for the sin which is into all human beings by nature and inhabits there. The sin is manifested from inside of us in different ways: either orally, or through our thougths and attitudes towards others. We can only have a personal love relationship with God through Jesus, because He is the mediator between God and the human beings. Christ Jesus is the one who makes God´s New Agreement with us.


We can appreciate the following biblical verses:

“There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human, and he gave Himself to rescue all of us. God showed us this at the right time”. (1º Timothy 2:5-6)
“And Jesus is here! He is the one who makes God´s New Agreement with us, and his sprinkled blood says much better things than the blood of Abel”. (Hebrews 12:24)


The Apostle Paul states the following:“But God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful”. (Romans 5:8)

“I told you the most important part of the message exactly as it was told to me. That part is: Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say. He was buried, and three days later He was raised to life, as the Scriptures say. Christ appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After this, He appeared to more than five hundred other followers. Most of them are still alive, but some have died. He also appeared to James, and then to all of the apostles. Finally, He appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time. I am the least important of all the apostles. In fact, I caused so much trouble for God´s church that I don´t even deserve to be called an apostle. But God was kind! He made me what I am, and His wonderful kindness wasn´t wasted. I worked much harder than any of the other apostles, although it was really God´s kindness at work and not me” (1º Corinthians 15:3-10)

Jesus said:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. Without me, no one can go to the Father”. (John 14:6)


Jesus died in our place for our sins, even though He was the only fair one of all history and who never committed any sin whatsoever. Jesus always had a perfect love relationship with God: “And I am one with the Father”. (John 10:30)

The following is a very interesting and vivid descriptive-narrative passage that the prophet Isaiah wrote about Jesus many years before His birth:

“He suffered and endured great pain for us, but we thought His suffering was punishment from God. He was wounded and crushed because of our sins; by taking our punishment, He made us completely well. All of us were like sheep that had wandered off. We had each gone our own way, but the Lord gave Him the punishment He deserved. He was painfully abused, but He did not complain. He was silent like a lamb being led to the butcher, as quiet as a sheep having its wool cut off. He was condemned to death without a fair trial. Who could have imagined what would happen to Him? His life was taken away because of the sinful things my people had done. He wasn´t dishonest or violent, but he was buried in a tomb of cruel and rich people. The Lord decided His servant would suffer as a sacrifice to take away the sin and guilt of others. Now the servant will live to see His own descendants. He did everything the Lord has planned”. (Isaiah 53:4-10)

Jesus is eternal. He has no beginning or end. The first book of the Bible, Genesis, states: “God said, Now we will make humans, and they will be like us”. (Genesis 1:26). This means that God Father, God Son and God Holy Spirit have been acting jointly as a unique divine unity everlastingly, which unity manifests itself in three different ways, even though our human mind cannot understand it well and even though it may not be explained from the chronological point of view, considering that Jesus came to the Earth two thousand years ago.

This is a very interesting biblical verse:

“I came from the Father into the world, but I am leaving the world and returning to the Father”. (John 16:28)

We must accept Jesus as our Lord and unique savior in order to have a love relationship with God Father. It is a personal decision we must make, as God has given us free will to decide. No human being loved by us, no relative and no friend at all, can interfere in our love relationship with God once we have decided to have it and to be firm on it. God does not involve third parties in our personal love relationship with Him and He will not allow any person to interfere in it, considering He treats each individual who accepted Jesus Christ as a special treasure, as if he were His only child.

We can appreciate the following biblical verses:

“Then the Lord All-Powerful said: You people are precious to me, and when I come to bring justice, I will protect you, just as parents protect an obedient child”. (Malachi 3:17)
“Yet some people accepted Him and put their faith in Him. So he gave them the right to be the children of God” (John 1:12)

We can conclude with the following biblical verses:

It is an order of God “In the past, God forgave all this because people did not know what they were doing. But now He says that everyone everywhere must turn to Him. He has set a day when He will judge the world´s people with fairness. And He has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for Him. God has given proof of this to all of us raising Jesus from death”. (Acts 17:30-31)

If Jesus has paid the debt of our sins completely by dying in the cross in order to establish once more the love relationship with God, which had been broken down at the Eden garden, we can be absolutely sure and confident that the Lord is very interested in us and He will always love us!!! (Jeremiah 31:3)

AMEN!!!

How Can I Encounter God?


HOW CAN I ENCOUNTER GOD?



By: Gladys Raquel Hernández







First, I start believing God, that is, I believe in His Word stated in the Bible. I start believing He loves me truly, that He has given His only Son to die for my sins (John 3:16) and that He yearns to establish a love relationship with me through Jesus Christ, who is exactly like God, who cannot be seen. Jesus is the first-born Son, superior to all creation (Colossians 1:15). Our relationship with God had been broken down at the Eden garden due to sheer disobedience on the part of the human being himself (Genesis 3:23-24 – Romans 5:12-15).

In other words, I start developing faith. God moves according to the faith of every person. God does not move in front of poverty or misery. He only moves in answer to the active faith of every person who has knowledge, understanding and revelation of His Word.

Faith cannot be analysed. We should not mistake faith for presumption. There are people who think that trust, reliance, credulity, a bit of religión and hope, constitute faith. This mixture is presumption rather than faith. Faith is much more than believing, much more than trusting, much more than expecting. If it is a pure faith coming from the Holy Spirit, it will never act against God´s Word.

Therefore, where does faith come from? Faith is a gift given by God and it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)If faith lacks power, it is not faith: It is just reliance. Faith is the one that has action and power and it always comes from God. Grace and faith are closely related to each other. Faith is not a product of own merit because no human being deserves salvation that is given to us through the grace of God. The Grace of God is a benefit granted to us which is absolutely not deserved by us at all.

We can appreciate the following biblical verses:

“All of us have sinned and fallen short of God´s glory. But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins. (Romans 3:23-24)

Faith is a gift. You do not need to pray asking for faith. Look for God and faith will come to you. Prayers never get something from God unless faith is present therein.

We can conclude with the following biblical verses:

“Faith makes us sure of what we hope for and gives us proof of what we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1)
“But without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and that he rewards everyone who searches for Him”. (Hebrews 11:6)

Therefore, if we open our hearts to God sincerely and if we have an active and genuine faith, the grace and glory of God will be spread in abundance towards us and God will penetrate our hearts which may be hurt, anguished or sad. If we allow God to enter our hearts, He will clean, purify and restore us bit by bit and completely through His Holy Spirit. Sometimes, we will need help coming from Christians that are matured in their faith, who act as temporary helpers of the Holy Spirit. Then, the love relationship and the communion with our Father will be possible!!!

AMEN!!!

Who is God? Does He Really Exist?

WHO IS GOD? DOES HE REALLY EXIST?





By: Gladys Raquel Hernández







God really exists because He has revealed Himself to different human beings of the Jewish people, His beloved, pioneer people through history, who have left scripts which are stated in the Old and the New Testaments, which constitute the Sacred Scriptures: The Bible.

If they had not received direct revelation on the part of the Creator, they would have never written anything and, therefore, we would not have the faintest idea about His existence. These human beings, prophets and saint men of God received divine inspiration, revealed directly to their conscience and understanding in order to write; and, on some occasions, they had face to face encounters with God and/or listened God´s voice audibly.

These are some biblical verses that establish the concepts specified hereinabove:


“The Lord
Himself spoke to you out of the fire, face to face” (Deuteronomy 5:4)
“When the Lord saw Moses coming near the bush, he called him by name, and Moses answered, “Here I am”. God replied, “Don´t come any closer. Take off your sandals - The ground where you are standing is holy. I am the God who was worshiped by your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”. Moses was afraid to look at God and so he hid his face”. (Exodus 3:4-6)

“When the Lord called out Samuel´s name.”Here I am!” Samuel answered. (1º Samuel 3:4)

God´s Name in Hebrew is unpronounceable (YHWH), because His Name is saint and the sinful human race is unworthy of pronouncing it.

We should notice the interesting answer that God, our Lord, gives to Moses when he is called to set the Hebrew people free from the egyptians, who had taken them as slaves for four hundred years.

“Moses answered, “I will tell the people of Israel that the God their ancestors worshiped has sent me to them. But what should I say, if they ask me your name?”. God said to Moses: I am the eternal God. So tell them that the Lord, whose name is “I AM”, has sent you.” (Exodus 3:13-14)

God manifests Himself as Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, what constitutes the Holy Trinity. The three of them constitute a unity: they are coexistent, endless and eternal. The three of them were active at the creation act (Genesis 1:26) and they are also active at the redemption act. God, the Father, proposed and planned the creation. God, the Son, made possible the eternal plan of God through the sacrifice of the cross. The Holy Spirit is the power of the Trinity. His power raised Jesus from the dead and that same power continues flowing even these days in our lives, by healing, restoring, purifying and sanctifying us entirely.

Therefore, God continues revealing to our lives through His Holy Spirit that shows people of this world the truth about sin, God´s justice and judgment (John 16:8), by giving gifts and ministeries to each of us according to His sovereign will. (1º Corinthians 12:11). It is an inner feeling that each person will perceive by opening his sincere heart to God, confessing that he is weak, a sinner, thirsty and in need of his Creator.

The christian person who has had revelation on the part of God and who daily has communion with Him through prayers, listens to God from spirit to spirit. God is not tangible: He is perfect. He goes directly to our spirit and we know when He speaks to us. When He speaks to us, we start understanding God, our Creator.

There are many attributes that refer to God in the Bible. The following are some of them:

God is Almighty:

He is omnipresent: He is everywhere at the same time. (Proverbs 15:3)
He is omniscient: He knows everything. He is the maximum wisdom. (Psalm 19:2)
He is omnipotent: He is all-powerful. (Numbers 24:4 and 16)He is infinite: He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. (Psalm 90:2)
He is immutable: God does not change. He is always the same. (James 1:17)
He is infalible: God never makes mistakes or does anything bad. (Numbers 23:19)
He is Spirit, light and love: He is not a material substance. He illuminates everything and loves with endless love. (Romans 8:11 – Psalm 90:17 – John 3:16)
He is invisible, unsoundable and immense: It is not possible to see Him. It is not possible to understand the completeness of what God is and He exceeds every imaginable dimension. (John 16:28 – Psalm 68:33 – Isaiah 40:22)
He is saint, fair and perfect: He is absolutely pure. He is correct and insuperably exact. (Psalm 22:3 – Isaiah 45:19 – Psalm 19:7)
He is incorruptible, true and faithful: It is not possible to bribe God. No lie or deceit are found in Him. He is faithful to Himself. (Romans 1:23 – Psalm 25:5 – Psalm 33:4)
He is good, sympathetic and merciful: He always manifests His generosity. He is compassionate, clement and He is sensitive to human needs. (Psalm 34:8 – John 11:33 – Psalm 90:14)

There are many more attributes about God in the Bible. These are some of them, so that, we can enjoy His magnificence and contemplate the majesty of His greatness and perfection by opening our sincere hearts to Him.

God will be in control forever! (1º Peter 5:11)

AMEN!!!
