He's Changing Lives

Romans 12: 1 - 2, "I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice; holy and acceptable to God as your reasonable service. Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind; that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God"

God is truly faithful in what He's doing in our church just in the past 2 months. New people are coming in, the church is blessed, and people are rising up to do the will of God. I am so proud of the church that Jesus has allowed me to pastor! We are in the harvest - time of the year, and reaping the benefits of God's goodness through sacrificial giving, and personal evangelism.

Our bible studies are going to start next Friday, and the leaders of them are already brain-storming about Halloween, and how they can make a significant impact that night! As for my family and I, we are truly blessed and well taken care of. The Lord has met some personal and financial needs in our lives (as always), and the timing couldn't be better! 



Through all of the difficulties in this life, it sure feels good to know that no matter what, the Lord is on your side, and is working overtime to make sure that you are taken care of, well informed, properly instructed, and / or rebuked! The shaping and sharpening of the Lord is ever beneficial to our spiritual maturity and health...it won't be long before we are getting into a new building and growing to the potential God has ordained...

Channelview TX is ripe for the picking, and the Salazars are so excited to go and do the will of God there...we're taking our cities for Jesus Christ!!

The Power of God

Hebrews 12: 29 - 'Our God is a consuming fire...'  I thank my God that we were able to witness this momentous occasion. My brother (Casi), and my sister (Veronica), tied the knot this morning! What a beautiful story of integrity, fidelity, and prayerful persistence! According to testimony...Veronica received a word from Pastor Dillard October 2014 that her prayers would be answered and the one she has been praying for would be by her side not too long from now...this has actually come true!! Through fasting, prayer, counseling and perseverance...that prayer was answered in a big way! Casi, a man of the penal system, made some serious decisions to turn his life around and give Jesus his life. This took a lot of soul - searching, and a lot of humility; usually a man of great pride and arrogance, now had to come to grips with the truth that he was in desperate need of the blood of Jesus. His love for Veronica had surfaced, but her commitment to Christ through him for a loop...

Pain

I finally got a chance to speak with pain; I had a lot of questions for pain to answer hopefully. The first question was obvious – Who asked you to come here? No answer Why do you afflict my life? Still no answer Then I realized I was asking the wrong questions, so I shouted out: Who do you think you are? Pain turned around and finally answered, ‘O just a friend.’ Well you’re no friend of mine! At this, pain started laughing hysterically then said, ‘I remind you of your frailty, your capabilities and your nature, without me you would start thinking that you’re perfect; or even God Himself! I thought about what pain said, then he rose up and asked me…’ Can I go now? I have work to do’ So I asked pain, where are you going? He replied, not very far, I’m still working in this house . I begged pain to leave…he said, “I can leave but there’s a problem.” What’s that? He answered, if I leave, you would have no motivation to seek God. With that, pain turned and walked away – ...

Need of Ministry

1 Samuel 3:1-14  3 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see, 3 and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the Lord where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4 that the Lord called Samuel. And he answered, “Here I am!” 5 So he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down. 6 Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 (Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.) 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “H...
