The mystery of the loneliness



By: Rodrigo J. Roca

A lot of times we begin to Walk in the Arms of God and usually we are surrounded by the wright people that will help us to follow forward.

God surround us by people that share a lot of joys and sadness with us, our friends, the good and the best, those who are in our lifes any time.

In the measure that we grow in the Lord and our call seems to be more evident, big part of the times, have to have time of loneliness.

Many know it like as a proof or desert. I prefer to call it the mystery of the loneliness. If well God spoke and said that it was not good that the man was alone, with all, there are times we have to walk this way in front of God. Walk Alone.

Is in these times, people we love the most go away from us, the best friends are not that kind of friend anymore, the world goes down in a deep dark dream and remain us alone.

¿Have you ever felt that in spite of being surrounded by a lot of people, you seems to be the most lonely man or woman in the planet? A lot of times this happens in ours walk with the Lord.

The mystery is that God speaks to us and gives us specifics instructions before going in to these times of loneliness. Afterwards He remains in silence and there is lika a huge hole in our life.

¿The reason? Simple: our faith is tested. "In the little were me faithful, on a lot I will put you" These times of desert and loneliness also serve us to evaluate our lives. Flaws and Virtues goes out when we are alone, since there are not distractions around us and we are more receptive to hear our own heart.

¿And do you know when finishes the empty and the loneliness? The moment that we start not depending of our strengths to follow forward, but depending and trusting just in Jesus.
Then we have the half of the battle won. The another half: Fully Obedience to His Commandments.

If you are going through times of desert or loneliness, DO NOT WORRY, encourage you because there is a purpose for this. God has you a blessing at the term of the proof. Remember always that.

God keep you save and blessed!

Are you part of the 25%?



By: Rodrigo J. Roca

When we read the Parable of the Sower in Mathew 13, many of us only receive it like another complicated parable, that Jesus used to preach. I advise you that you read and think about this chapter for what comes next.

This shuts a mystery revealed to which have a heart opened to listen.
It is therefore that we know that it exists a Seed that represents the Word of God and four types of terrain, that means 100% of the people:

Out of the Way (25%)
Stony Place (25%)
Thorns (25%)
Good Ground (25%).
All of this is simbology of the hearts that take the Word.

The ones of out of the Way (25%) are those that take the Word lightly and doesn´t care about anything related to God. They get lost.

The ones of the stony place (25%) are those that listen the Word and thrill , but once happens the emotion, dismay and have the option to go of the Presence of God or live a life to the edge, neither in the world neither in The Church.

The ones of the Thorns (25%), are the members of the Church, the men and women that live his life following a doctrine, with good intentions or not, but far away of the Plans of God. In this group find most of the people that have years inside the Church.

That Means: a seed is born between Thorns and grows, but the Thorns prevent him develop and give fruits. This happens with the Christians, the children of God that only think about his worries to be the most prepared, the most studied, the richest and recognized.
They do not give fruits for the Kingdom of God.

A lot of times is not simply the unseen sin what does that we do not give fruit, many times are the motivations of our heart, that although they seem us good, but they do not go with the plans than God has prepared for us.

On the other hand, many of us just think in our own problems: my life, my purpose, my dream, my,my,my,my....Forgetting that those are not the fruits than God wants for us.

The Christian life resume in fruits: personal fruits and fruits for the Kingdom. The personal fruits: love, joy, peace, patience...etc. They are the fruits of the Holy Spirit for us. The fruits for the Kingdom: LIVES WON for Jesus.

When Jesus call us to his Presence, He will ask: ¿Which fruits gave for me? ¿That will answer him?

"I Had my Worship group, I assisted all the Sundays to the Church, I gave a lot of money to my Ministries...etc."


There is a new Name for the Eternity



by: Rodrigo J. Roca

There has been 3 characters along the Biblical history that have changed the History:
- Abraham (Génesis 17)
- Israel (Génesis 35)
- The Apostle Paul (Facts 9 in forward)

Each one of them affected his generation and wrote pages and more pages of blessings for all his future generations.
Each one of them lived in different periods of time, in different situations, but each one of them had a pair of things in common.

First: They received a called of God
Second: They received a new identity in God

Abraham´s name before his calling was Abram and his name changed because in his identity he would be father of many nations (Genesis 17:5)

Jacob receives his identity fighting with the Angel in Peniel, looking for his blessing and his name changes because in his identity he fought with God and had won (Génesis 32:28).

Paul´s former name was Saul, that although it´s a Greek version of Paul. God changes him the identity, cause he would not belong more to the world he lived before. He would be PAUL (that means small), the biggest Apostle that would impact the New Testament, all caused by the love to Jesus.

God has you prepared a name for all your eternity. When we received the called of God, then we received our identity like His Children.
Already will not call you more David the liar, neither James the playboy. God will give you a special name in His Kingdom, will give you an identity that will help you in your daily walk in Christ.

It´s time. I dare you to know more about Jesus, to listen about what has to say to you.
A lot of Blessings from our Heavenly Father.
