God bless!

There is nothing outside of the realm of change of God. He can do all things. He created all things. He has formed all things. There is no limits to His abilities or negative desires for us. I leave you with this truth*: whatever you are dealing with today is tiny and simple before Him. Ask Him and watch Him change your impossible situation to a resolved problem.

Pastor Joell A. Perez

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. (Colossians 1:16 AMP)

God bless!

Have you ever found yourself telling someone in frustration that “you can't read minds”? Have you ever been frustrated because you simply can't bring joy to someone because they are not clear as to what they want? There is nothing more frustrating to me personally than not to know what someone wants and see them frustrated with me because I'm not giving it to them. Now this applies to humans but clearly not to God. Why do I mention this? Many will ask: "if God knows what we need and am thinking then why doesn't He simply do it, provide it or answer the need? " It's simple, He's a gentlemen. Since the beginning He allowed His relationship with humanity to be one based on free will. He didn't force His will on anyone (case in point: Adam and Eve eating the fruit), He would suggest direction for our own good (as He does today) but never forced us to do anything. The same applies today, if we don't ask Him to intervene in a situation then He patiently waits for us to involve Him. Want things to change for you? Then it's time to ask Him to get involved. What do you have to lose?
 

Pastor Joell A. Perez

Up to this time you have not asked a [single] thing in My Name [as presenting all that I AM]; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy (gladness, delight) may be full and complete. (John 16:24 AMP)

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) "God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it."

God Bless You,

Good deeds should always be a big part of our Christian walk. Helping others should be on our priority list on a daily basis; we should not wait for crisis or tragedy to show up at our door to go out there and help. Just as Jesus helped those around him, if we are to follow his footsteps, we need to do the same. Fulfilling his little one's needs could many times be way more spiritually satisfying than fulfilling our own. With this in mind we also have to remember that no exceeding number of good deeds will ever earn us our Salvation!! We could do good to others day in and day out and that is all wonderful but IT WILL NOT EARN US OUR SALVATION!! Salvation is a GIFT from God for those that BELIEVE and ACCEPT him in their hearts as their LORD & SAVIOR!! Accept this priceless, awesome, beautiful gift today and as a big Thank You, do good to others whether they deserve it or not...did we deserve the gift of Salvation? 

Pastor Laura Palacios

God bless!

       Have you ever felt like the pressures of life were simply too much? Almost as if we have a limited source of patience inside of us that like a cup of water at times simply runs out of supply. As humans this would be true but the day you and I said yes to JESUS we actually merged with His cup. Want to know something interesting? His cup has no bottom and no top it's everywhere and completely full! Want to know why we feel empty at times? It's simple, instead of allowing His water to enter we simply superficially float on top of His supply. Don't you think it's time for us to simply submerge in Him?

Pastor Joell

I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. (Numbers 11:14 NIV)

God Bless You,

There are times in our life even when we are in the right path with God when we ask him for something that we desire with all our heart and suddenly we realize everyone else around us getting what we want even when they did not ask for it; it’s in these moments when many of us actually question God…we say, why them and not me? We may even feel jealous of them. Let me just remind you that God has a perfect time for everything and if he has already promised to give you something, He will in his time. God knows best, we just have to wait on him. We are like puzzle pieces in God’s hands. God fits piece by piece or better said, blessing by blessing in our life until he creates a beautiful masterpiece, yes…this is exactly what we are, his masterpiece. Only God knows when certain blessings will arrive. We just have to keep moving forward in faith without doubting because He will always do his part.

Pastor Roberto Palacios

Hebrews 10:36 “You must be patient. After you have done what God wants, you will get what he promised you.”

God Bless,

Do you remember the day you spoke to God and made that salvation prayer?  Do you remember how you were led to church whether invited, by a friend, neighbor, co-worker, relative or simply a church member who happened to stop and share with you words of life (the Gospel)? Whether you made the prayer of salvation outside or inside of church God made it happen! God knew where you were going to be, and the situations you were facing. God used a vessel to direct you to Him. Those vessels/messengers that God used were prepared to deliver a message to you and were not ashamed. They had faith, and with boldness spoke the Good News (the Gospel) out to those who were willing to listen and receive. These vessels have seen the wonderful works of God in people’s lives, maybe even yours and they were not afraid. Aren't you a messenger or a vessel God is using to spread the Good news? Have you not seen the miracles he has done in your life? Do you know that you can bring someone to the light, from a world of darkness? Don't be ashamed to share your testimony or bring a small word to someone who was once in your position! This is what God has called you to do! 

Pastor Deborah Rosero

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God's power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, (Romans 1:16 AMP)

God bless!
 

I want to get right into this and share the message I received for us today. Whatever sickness, pressure, stress, anxiety, issue you and I are dealing with today will not lead us to death or demise! Quite the opposite it will catapult us to share our testimony. Don't believe me? Fine, believe Him! He spoke it about a man that was going to die physically and did, after many days (when death simply stunk on him) of being dead, JESUS simply told him to "Come Forth"! He didn't speak in tongues for an hour or get all hot and sweaty trying to force life into him, He simply demanded it through His words. Don't you think it's time you speak life into your dead situations? I challenge you today!

Pastor Joell Perez

When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” (John 11:4 NIV)

God Bless You,

We are constantly changing. Everything around is constantly changing. Whether we realize it or not, whether we want to admit it or not, change is a constant in our lives. There are positive and negative changes that take place in our lives every single day. Common sense tells us we should focus on positive changes; let's remember that "growth" involves change. Are we truly "growing" in our walk with God? Are we allowing Him to change us so we could be totally aligned with his will? It's true that he made us perfect and in his image but most of us have learned or picked up some negative traits along this journey called life, that truly need change in order for us to accomplish everything we were created to accomplish. Are we allowing others to change us while pulling us away from the right path? Or are we the ones that affect others positively to the point where they desire to "change" and draw closer to God? (Selah)The changes that God brings to our lives are always for our good. We need those changes in order to grow and mature!! The only one that doesn't need change is God... 

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" Hebrews 13:8. 

He is perfect and wants us to be more and more like him...“For I the Lord do not change..." Malachi 3:6

Pastor Laura Palacios

Have you ever found yourself frustrated because you have labored and toiled and lost sleep and fully exhausted yourself on something? Or someone? You did everything you could possibly do but have seen no reward or increase? Many of us spend our life worrying and trying to make something happen but our focus and purpose and glory are attributed or aligned with the wrong purpose, reason or source. We think it’s because of what we have accomplished or because of our own knowledge and strength and we are trying to force things to happen our way, but seem to be getting nowhere.

It is necessary to be diligent and hardworking and for us to take action and be doers, but that is just one part of the equation towards success and increase. It is when we are able to recognize God’s sovereignty and give all of the Glory to Him; and when we are able to recognize that it is through Him and with His strength that we have accomplished anything, that we will see increase and success in our endeavors. Our heart has to be in the right place and our reason for doing has to be righteous or else the One who brings the “increase” (God) will not prosper our efforts and our labor will be in vain. Let’s remember that the one who sows and/or the one who waters is not worthy of the glory and praise, for they are mere vessels, but He (God) is the worthy One to receive the Honor and praise because it is He alone who has the power and authority to bring the “increase”!

I Glory in you Lord! 

Pastor Elizabeth Z. Perez

1 Corinthians 3:6-7 “I planted, Apollos watered, but God (all the while) was making it grow and (He) gave the increase. So neither he who plants is anything nor he who waters, but (only) God who makes it grow and become greater”.

God bless,

It is so wonderful to know we serve a God that is alive! I don’t know this because of something I have read or because someone taught it to me or even from something I have heard. I know this because He has been true and real and alive to me! He is like a friend that never fails you and a husband who is always faithful and a Father who provides and protects. Our God is definitely the full package! I can’t ask for more and I can’t complain because He has been everything I want, everything I need and all my heart’s desire! I know He exist because of His details towards me and because the more I seek Him and believe in Him the more He becomes alive in me and in my life!

Luke 20:38

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

I am alive in You, Pastor Elizabeth Z. Perez

In this life we are surrounded by choices, whether we are conscious of them or not we are constantly making them. Some of these are simple and have little impact and others are more complex and could become a turning point in our lives. From what we’ll wear, to what we’ll eat…from which route to take, to whom our friends should be…from what we should study to what car we should buy…from what job offer we should accept to who we should marry…from where we should live or what church we should attend…and the list goes on. The main point today is simply to remind all of us that above all the choices we have to make in this life, the first one and most important one should always be, having a relationship with God. Choosing God every day in our decision making will give us the best outcome we could have ever ask for or ever imagined and keeping him first place in our lives will help us live a happy, peaceful, successful, and fruitful life. Choosing God is literally a matter of life or death and it doesn’t just affect our present and future but even what will happen to us after death!! What will you choose today?

Pastor Laura Palacios

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 “Today I am giving you a choice of two ways. And I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses of your choice. You can choose life or death. The first choice will bring a blessing. The other choice will bring a curse. So choose life! Then you and your children will live. You must love the Lord your God and obey him. Never leave him, because he is your life. And he will give you a long life in the land that he, the Lord, promised to give to your ancestors—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

Many times we hear Church is like an emergency room at a hospital. Many come to Church seeking the mind of God, others come for a quick fix. Some come hurt and in need of help, others come for restoration. Other times we hear how Church is full of imperfect people or people with issues. We hear about Church consisting of drug addicts, dealers, prostitutes, criminals, adulterers...etc. In today’s society these people would be looked down upon, others keep their distance, and some totally despise them. Now I ask you this today. When you look back at the things you've done in life, do you think you deserve to be where you are today? Personally I tell you NO! But as the verse below states, it don't matter who you are, were all justified and made upright and in right standing with God through his Grace. So no matter what your circumstance or situation is, Today I remind you like I remind myself, It's a new day, and it's time to stand right before God again! Let's enjoy his Grace and continue our walk of redemption!

P. Felix Rosero

[All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, (Romans 3:24 AMP)

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12: 1-2

Blessing! 

Everything we do in life should be part of our worship! We worship from the moment our eyes open in the morning to the second they close at night. Worship is magnifying (or making much of) someone or something by our actions, thoughts or words. It is setting anything, be it God or otherwise, into the place of high prominence and authority in our lives. Most of this thought is slipping from our culture today, unfortunately we've adopted the idea that our worship time is limited to the 30 minutes of genre- specific music we hopefully remember to do. 

Discerning God’s will from a transformed and renewed mind, and then actually doing it, is pivotal to right worship. We are called to be men and women who become like Jesus and not trying to make Him fit our schedules. When we hold such a small view of worship we lose sight of “what is good and acceptable and perfect” because we lose the ability to know it! Only through the giving and submitting of our entire lives can we rightly worship God and fulfill our purpose and mission on this earth.

Let's rethink our idea and worship and worship our Father in all we do! 

Pastor Maria Velez-Paucar

For a long time I struggled with the idea of being truly blessed. I was ok with being blessed, but not too blessed. I felt I wasn't "there", I wasn't "in the zone" or in the "right place with God". I had this idea that I had to climb the "Heavenly Ladder" and get to this place of deserving "full blessings".
Being in The Kingdom of God is not like a corporate job where you can climb the corporate ladder. Acts alone are not going to get you closer to blessings. That's called religion. Christianity is not about religion... Relationship and Position is what it's all about. Getting closer to the One who blesses should be more important than the Blessings. Knowing your place and position as a child of God gives you the perspective and understanding that you ought to be fully and truly blessed. Because it's about whose you are and not who you've been. 
Give Up... That notion that you shouldn't be blessed or don't deserve to be blessed. That which inhibits your relationship with your Heavenly Father. Give In... To His promise for you, To His desire to see you blessed. Give All... All of your inhibitions, All of your drawbacks, your setbacks, your failures, All of "who you think you are", in return for All that He has appointed you to be. He has already placed it inside of you! 

You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you. John 15:16 (AMP)

Kindest Regards, 

Pastor Robert Paucar 

How much does water cost? You would probably answer me, “about a dollar per bottle” but my real question is how much would you be willing to pay for that same bottle if you were stock in the dessert? Humanity tends to give a total different value to things when we are in the midst of tough situations and this causes us to pay exorbitant prices for certain things when we need them. The interesting thing is that the overpriced item was probably something we already had at a lower price at one point but we couldn’t appreciate it then. We know God will always be there but we tend to ignore him when all is well, however, when tribulations and tough times come our way, we run to him seeking his Living Water. It’s is in the midst of chaos when we appreciate and truly value his living water and we drink of it constantly but as soon as things get better we tend to move on and forget that he is our only source of living water. We have to be conscious that we would always be the enemy’s target and we will always be exposed to tough situations so we have to remain diligent and ready to cross the desserts with our “Living Water” by our side. We need to read the Word of God constantly and carry its teachings in our hearts. If we fill our lives with this Living Water we will no longer be thirsty when we are crossing the desserts in our life. 

John 4:14 “But anyone who drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give people will be like a spring flowing inside them. It will bring them eternal life.”

PS: God’s Living Water is free…drink abundantly

Pastor Roberto Palacios

God Bless You,

I know the Bible tells us: "ask and it will be given to you..." Matthew 7:7 but have we ever prayed to God without a petition? Have we ever offered him a prayer just to worship him and thank him for all the things he has already done for us and through us without requesting something from him? I think most of us failed to think about this at times. Worship doesn't really involve requesting anything...Selah. True worship is honoring God with all our heart and soul; it's pouring out our gratitude at his feet, is surrendering everything that we are in his presence. When we worship him we are expressing all the beauty of his Glory in extreme submission to our creator. I know we get caught up in all the things we need him to help us with that our prayers become, "Father we need, Father please provide, please protect, please guide, please restore", etc., etc.  I am not trying to stop you from going to him for help in all those things but today, let's take a few minutes to simply worship him in our prayer without requesting anything from him; let's tell him how much we love him and how much we appreciate everything he has already done for us without asking for anything in return. 

Psalms 96:8-9 "Give the Lord praise worthy of his glory! Come, bring your offerings into his courtyard. Worship the Lord in all his holy beauty..."

Pastor Laura Palacios

Money makes the world go round, is a famous saying we've all heard before. After all we do need money to live, eat, pay bills, etc. However, many might confuse money with power. Many wealthy people might feel like they can buy their way into anything. And in the world we live in, it is very possible. However there are certain things money can’t buy, things like love, peace, and happiness. In the things of God, money CAN'T buy blessings! CAN'T buy anointing!! CAN'T buy the gifts of the Holy Spirit. All these things are Freely Given to those whose heart is in the right place. To those who have the right intensions for it! When God blesses us with a gift or anointing it’s not for us to keep, but to give it back to his people.

Today I encourage you to not think we can buy our way into heaven. I encourage you to ask yourself, if you're following God for the right reasons. If you catch yourself desiring more, ask God for it and if it is his will, it will be done. Let’s stay away from manipulating our way through life. It’s time for us to let go and let God!!

Pastor Felix Rosero

Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! (Acts 8:20 NIV)

As a pastor I must say that I frequently find myself talking about salvation and how it is an Individuals responsibility, How our salvation is dependent on us and us alone but is it? If we read the verse below you will notice this man’s sins were forgiven but not based on anything he did but rather based on what those around him did. Jesus saw their action and was taken by their faith to the point of forgiving this other individuals sin. Why is this important? Two reasons: the first: we must watch who we surround ourself with so we are sure we can count those around us to lead us to JESUS and second: we must recognize our ability to bring others to JESUS. You could be the difference between heaven and hell for someone.

Pastor Joell Perez


Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” 

Bee Hummingbird 

Scientists estimate that there are over 10,000 species of birds in the world of which I could probably only name ten☺. From all those species, the smallest is a hummingbird, called the "bee hummingbird" measuring only a maximum of about 2.3 inches and weighing about 2.5 grams. Its heartbeat could rise to close to 200 beats per minute when exerting high energy levels and their wings could beat close to 80 times per minute, creating a humming sound, hence their name. It has great agility and has been known for fighting small dogs and cats as well as many birds 300 times bigger than them. These are just some of the scientific facts about this little bird and I am not telling you this simply to give you a science lesson; I want to remind us what the Word of God tells us in: Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them.”

Don’t you know you are worth much more than these little birds? God values and loves all of his creation, but aren't we his most loved and valued creation? Isn't our value much higher than the entire bird species? (No offense to bird lovers, just trying to make a point) Don't you think that if he provides for them, he will provide for us? We are the only creation made in his image and he gave up his only son Jesus for us, even knowing the pain and suffering He would experience. In God’s eyes, we have always been extremely valuable! He doesn't just provide food for this little bird, but let's remember the strength this little animal has. Can you truly believe that with God by our side we could be stronger than anything we could possibly face in this life? He is our source of strength and our provider! I leave you with this 2nd verse today: Romans 8:31 "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Pastor Laura Palacios

Look forward 
When we make a determination to accept Christ in our lives, we focus on making changes within ourselves as well as our lifestyle. We feel that the old life we were living was burdensome and we want to be liberated. When we hear about Christ we see hope for the present and future. The transition stage from the old lifestyle into the new ( following Christ) is never easy. We become determine, and begin the process of going to church, reading scriptures, and begin spreading the Gospel to those who are in need of being revived (which is something that God has called all of us for). However, when you are laboring and serving God, the enemy always comes and tries to whisper in your ears, and makes you revisit your old-life (worldly life) with a more appealing outlook to it, showing you that the new life is less appealing. Don't let the enemy distract you, and make you look back. The enemy will lie and tell you about the "Good old times". Be proud of the path you chose (living in Christ), and thankful for where God will take you. Don't question it and don't look behind! Make an extra effort to continue pushing forward and push aside the lies of the enemy. Yes it will in fact be challenging ,but it is well worth it! The Good times are ahead!

I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. (‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭13-14‬ AMP)

Pastor Deborah Rosero

God bless!

Hope is something that we need  in order to stimulate an optimistic mindset towards life. With hope we create goals ( short and long- terms). Some of us may create visual dream boards in our homes/jobs and others  may just have a mental picture of the plans and expectations for the future.  One of the verses in scripture that encourages us to look forward to our   future is Jeremiah 29:11;

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". The key word in this scripture is "I" (God). Although, "We “have made plans for our future, does this mean that we should negate God's plans for us because, they don't coincide with our " dream- boards" or  the plans that we have already set? God does want to give us the desires of our heart ( at his time), however ,God is a God of love and protection and he knows what is best for us. Would you lose hope in your walk with God or be discourage if he does not full-fill the plans that "You" have placed in your "dream-board"? If God takes your plans and redirects them, would you continue believing in him? Don't lose your faith in God, and hope for the future. His plans are greater than yours!!! Who's plans are you being led by?

Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand.  (Proverbs 19:21 AMP)

Pastor Deborah Rosero
