More money ,more problems

Now days we live in a materialistic world , where looks and possessions play a big role to fit into this modern society or aleast thats what we been told.
Advertisers spend millions of dollars to entice us to think that if we buy more and more of their products, we will be happier, more fulfilled, more comfortable,they make us think that we need this things! The question is ,How do you respond to the constant pressure to buy?
As a single young lady back in the past I would spend my wk money every week  in new clothes,shoes and all this (unnecessary) things  to feed my vanity, to fill that void that I didnt know that only Christ can fill.This things momentary would make me feel good and happy but later on I would feel guilty for spending , its just like a drug, also, living in a entertainment city such as L.a. I would look at celebrities lifestyle and say to myself "I want that car or I want that house. I would do anything to get it".(rich and famous people are not merely happy nor satisfied with their lifes)
Chasing after money and things got me nothing but problems, affliction to my soul and sorrow.

Jesus advertise us in the bible to not fall into this trap.

•  He said: "Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own." (Luke 12:15) The good life has nothing to do with being wealthy, so be on guard against greed (desire for what we don't have).
• ^" Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought NOTHING into this world, and its certain we can carry NOTHING out.And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into TEMPTATION and a SNARE, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in DESTRUCTION and PERDITION, For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their GREEDINESS, and pierced themselves through with many SORROWS." (1 Timothy 6:6-10) (I could relate myself in this verse)
•   “Do not lay up for yourselves TREASURES ON EARTH, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;but lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matt.6:19-21)
•  “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon(god of money)."(Matt.6:24) (to God there`s not in between line he said no one can serve two masters)
• Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world.(1 John 2:15-16) (if we go after the things of the world we living carnally and not spiritually, because we are guide by sight and not by faith)

Now you can say Ok ,if I don`t chase after money, what am`I supposed to chase? Chase after Christ! He is all we need ! He said:

•  Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

• “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things(not riches). But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things(food, and clothing) shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. (Matt.6:31-34) (just chill and trust Him)

 God tells us to no go after riches but it also tells us that he will provide for our needs, all we have to do is trust Him and believe Him , but sometimes we doubt him at being God the provider ,and we decide to do things our way and we fall into the trap.We cannot doubt God at being God, everything He said in the bible, He said it for a reason, he knows whats best for you because He created you! He is a jelaous God and He doesnt want you to go after the god of riches(satan). The society, the media, might say the opposite but the only opinion you should consider in how to live your life is God`s .
We must learn to tune out expensive enticements and concentrate instead on the truly good life--living in a relationship with God and doing his work.
 Now lets take this good advice from a rich and wise man :
 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,
“All is vanity"
"Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.
 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,Whether good or evil"  -King Solomon 
(Ecclesiastes 12:8,12-14)( I highly recommend you to read the book of Ecclesiastes)

To God be the Glory now and Forever.

God & Me 101

Psychologists and sociologists teach us that, the desire for association, is the ultimate of man's needs, we tend to look for others either if its just for company, thats our nature,loneliness is a feeling that nobody likes.

Fact is, relationships affect us either in a good or bad way.

The best relationship any human being can have its not with mom or dad, not with bf/gf or spouse, not with a human friend but with the Creator( God ). A relationship with the Almighty??? is that possible? Yes it is! 
what does this mean?

1st of all lets be real! Isnt annoying when someone else tells you what to do? like : you must pray ,  must read the bible,or you must do this you must do that? like you have to do things out of obligation? ugh! But it feels good when we do things because we want to, because we love to right? God wants you to come close to him because you want to not because you have to.

When I started seeking God one thing I knew I wanted the real one, the living God! I didnt want to be stuck in the same O repetitive prayer that gives me the feeling that Im talking to the wall :/ ,so I had to pour out my heart to Him totally nothing hidden, when you reach out sincerely to God  He helps you in those areas that you know you need help,gives you peace of mind and makes your path straight.                                     

     Tips to develop a relationship with God :

• Make time for it! : any relationship requires time spending you cant get to know someone if you dont spend time with him .wherever/whoever is important to you ,you will find time to spend with, so make sure you set God at the top of your list ,even if your flesh tells you not to remember you supposed to be controlling it not viceversa.
• Find a place: its important that you have a quiet place away from distraction to be alone with God.
• Worship Him: Worshiping God is always a great way to connect with Him,singing or listening to worship songs always sets me in a good mood.
• Talk to God and listen to Him: Make sure you pour out your heart to him everything! in your own words like you would talk to a friend , he is your friend! after you read the scripture listen to Him.

• Bible time: its important to read and understand what you reading, start a study program ask God for knowledge and wisdom ,not just read randomly thats not studying , I recommend you read John first then Matthew,Mark and Luke then continue through the whole New Testament. Also is important to meditate in the word , if you struggling in one area meditate on the scripture on that area. Dont you just read the Word, Apply it to your life! 

The tips above can be applied without order, the important here its to develop that relationship with God, as Christ with his church(the bride)Ephesians 5:23-25, be faithful to Him and acknowledge Him in all your paths,another important thing to make the relationship work is: no cheating!(doing things he isnt pleased with) because nobody likes to be cheated on , rite?

The closer you get to Him the more you will feel his love and support! From my own experience I can tell you that God &Me time its the best time of my day!

To God be the Glory, always!

I wanna know what love is

LOVE is something we all need , something we all desire is something we all look for ,consciously or unconciously.

As a kid I always had the love of my family I still have it now days,and Im thankful for that,but there was a season when I was looking for love in the wrong places.As a teenager I wasnt really into dating I was more into sports I was more like the tomboy type of girl, but as I started getting older and started seeing my friends dating and falling inlove I got interested ! I really had lil info about  how boys play " the game" but still I got in "the game".I started going to the clubs with the hope that I could find somebody "good" in there smh, I started dating random guys just to do not "be alone" ,having sex with them and trying to please them in everything hoping they could love me and marry me 1 day, smh,  living like this , just got me heartbreaks,soul ties,bitterness ,illnesses,unhappiness,etc.

It wasnt until my last relationship that went really really bad that I woke up!I was living a hell and I thought it was love! smh, It was cool for a min. but then like it had not solid foundation(God) it broke. Fighting, punches,yelling and tears was the daily doses of "love" for me ,and when it finally ended I was feeling worst than ever,I was feeling devastated, that I couldnt trust/love nobody anymore ,I turned cold and then I asked God "why ? why me Lord? ,all I want is somebody to love me" I needed an answer so I waited to hear from him and He said: " I have always been there for you, you are the apple of my eye,I have always loved you, I been waiting for you to notice me! and to come to me my child, you would`ve known if you had read my word"

• " Guard your heart above all else,  for it determines the course of your life" (Proverbs 4:23) 
•  "My son, give me your HEART, and let your eyes observe my ways." (Pr.23:26" 
•  He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye." (Dt.32:10) 
• "Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,  casting all your care upon Him, for He CARES for YOU."(1Peter 5:6-7) 
•  ^" For God SO LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."(John 3:16) 
•  "Let you conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you"(Hebrews 13:5)
• and more........ 

From my encounter with God it self til now, He has shown me his unending,pure,unfailing and everlasting love in so many ways , through the people around me, through his word , I can feel his love around me, He has given me strength, peace of mind, happiness, He put a smile in my face again!,Im short of words trying to describe Gods love in here .All I can say I`ve found true LOVE!,

If you had tried everything else why not try Gods love? get to know Him , let Him love you, spend time with Him and He will blow your mind!

God is the 1and only that will always love you, like no other specially not a human.He will never fail you because He is the Lover of your soul!


God  bless you.
