Peace and blessings
What a great blessing it is to be able to share the living of our God once again with you through building Bridges. The name of Jesus alone has the power to pierce both " joint marrow, soul and spirit ( hebrews 4:12 ) jesus name has so much power behind it that I believe at time we forget how powerful it is to call upon him , especially when facing storms in our lives. Why may it seem that when life is going good for us, at times we forget God? The first step we need to understand is that walking with God is not always easy. Especially when the waves come crashing at our door. Throughout these times the tides of life will do one of two things to us ; one makes us loose faith or two ,they will help us embrace our affliction with faith as we grow spiritually. No doubt that navigating through Stormy seas is rough, however it is at this very moment that we need to call upon the name of Jesus as tribulations come we might ask , " What did I do wrong ? Why would a loving God allow this to happen to me? If this is you today , then this message of hope will shed light and help you realize that God has not forsaken you. Just as good freed his children from the hands of pharaoh,he will also do the same for you,he alone can part your red sea our faith in God can easily be shunned from him by our feelings and thoughts this is only because we are fleshy creatures. And we don't comprehend that in time in times of distress is when we need to keep in mind and heart is that faith is not like a magic wand which is only pulled out as needed no my friends ,our faith must be active at all times every moment , and in every circumstance. Do you remember the story of the chosen people of god in the Exodus ? The israelites found themselves sandwiched between pharaoh's army and the red sea facing annihilatio. At that point they were wishing they had never fled egypt and remain enslaved never seeing that their blessing was moving forward towards the promise land instead they looked back forgetting the power of God. God however pushed them forward beyond their thoughts and feelings as he parted the red sea and there by opening a new door to their uncertainty.just as he wants to do for you today instead of looking back , push forward and believe. Keep you faith in God , not on self stand firm as the apostle paul and say , "but one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead (" philippians 3:13 ) Brothers and Sisters ,when it seemed hopeless for God's people and it seemed like they may have seen their destruction , God's love dried up the red sea for then as they continued to walk in safety their story should teach us that God will not abandon us either later down their journey. God also dried the jordan for his people , he will do the same for you as God awaits for your faith to be excercised in him as well. Joshua was a man who applied his faith in. God's word as the lord expressed to him just as I was with moses. I will be with you I will "Not" fail you or forsake you (joshua1:5) I'm the midst of your tribalation stand firm and believe that what is impossible with man is possible with God ( like 18:22 ) brethren ) my prayer is that you all may stand still and see the salvation of the lord ( Exodus 14:13 ) peace of God be with each and every one of you Jose and grace Saucedo
