Fortaleza City - Brazil   August 29th, 2012 "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion: Your God reigns" (Isaiah 52.7). When I was a teenager, I used to preach in the streets of my city, up and down, during week-ends. At times, I was allowed to enter homes and have some food, aftter the preaching of good tidings - God was merciful upon me. Old times, never to come again! This year, I decided to go back in the streets and preach only Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. The picture above was shot in a very important and well known avenue of Fortaleza, right in front of the TVs stations in town! It was 9h AM and sun was very hot indeed: 33C! A fresh breeze from the Atlantic Ocean came upon us to ease our bodies and minds. Praise the Lord! On the 3rd Saturday of each month, I am again in the streets and avenues of my city proclaiming: life is very, very short and time is coming to the end! Repent and pursue happiness and salvation in Jesus Christ. May God Himself heal our bodies and souls, today and ever.

THE LOVE OF MONEY...

For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil (1Tim 6.10)

Money is just a reference for buying and selling.

In our journey to eternity, our relationship with money has almost no importance. The truth is that the extreme love for the money is huge hindrance to the life of closeness to God. You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time!

What to do, then?

1.     Your love, worship and closer relationship to God only;
2.     Put God in your life before it is too late for you;
3.     Recognize you are a sinner, hence need repentance/salvation;
4.    Confess Jesus Christ as your saviour and Lord (not money!);
5.     Learn the value of money. You are merely a steward; not Lord;
6.     Do not hurry... Life is too short!

You need to get the best out of life, but actually knowing how to do it, slowly and tenderly, as if savouring a delicious ice cream!

On your prayers, remember me.

THE RIGHT WORDS IN A PRAYER

Most people struggle with words in a prayer.

Usually, we feel ashamed when asked to pray loud, especially in a group.

Therefore, what to do? Hum... try this:

1.     Let your heart speaks;
2.     Let your spirit flows;
3.     Let all your mind surrenders;
4.     Let your body relaxes;
5.     Let your consciousness be itself.

The result of all this will be: simplicity.

God is simple. He does not hear "beautiful words", but a sincere prayer.

God bless you! Oh, by the way: remember me on your prayers! Thanks indeed!
