SURGERY

Bless the exalted name of Jesus Christ, the most precious and sweetest person there is and always will be. I love him and adore how He cares for me with arms wide open He will pardon me, it is no secret what God can do. To the author and finisher (Jesus) of my life 'te amo' (muy).

How is everyone doing? I was just lamenting about how good God has been to me. Good is really an understatement. He is marvelous, wonderful, lovely, indescribably, He is everything to me. He has been the best thing that ever happened to me. Oh how I love Jesus, the Great King and God.  Affectionately, my King and my God.  Is there another God beside Him?  No, I know not any.  For this man Christ Jesus has changed me, mould me, transformed me, freed me from self, hate, pity, guilt, lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, false hope, parental control, generation deposits, demonic prisons, money prisons, self-hatred, confusion, depression, self annihilation, self spiritual mutilation, oppression, obsession, false inclination, lying, stealing, evil surmising, mischief, pretense, greed, doubt, fear, unbelief, complaining, pride, false leading, false fire, double minded, sicknesses, diseases, and disappointment.

TODAYS SCRIPTURE: "For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing." 1 Peter 3:16.

Many a times we refrain from saying a lot about ourselves because of shame and insecurities. Last year the Lord did surgery on me. What is this?  Earlier in the year He related to me that He is going to move his hedge from around me.  Now I was trying to ignore Him, for that was not what I wanted to hear.  I related, please Lord not now I have this plan and that plan and visitors are coming and I have to achieve this by that time and so on.  But three nights He came to me telling me who I am and His potential in me.  Those three nights I tried to hide as well.  I knew this time would come sooner or later.  But I didn't want it now. In my former circle of influence I was becoming too famous, smart, go-getter, regarded as a man of my words, chased, having great potential, witty: friends and family hinting me to be a doctor, a lawyer, politician, someone great in society. I was at an opportune turning point.

Then the Lord decided to perform surgery on me.  Surgery meaning things are going to be exposed. Things that I perceived would defame or crush His potential in me. Surgery suggesting that you are not all that you seem to be. Surgery suggesting that it’s only by His mercy that I have become anything, anyway, or have any hope; surgery suggesting that there are some things I must give up; surgery exposing my weaknesses; surgery exposing to 'the world' how weak I am.

Now you have to be willing to go through, for no one wants to be spiritually sick, which has its effect in the social arena. Pharisee, "lord have mercy what happened to him, I knew it from the start that..." Who wants to be faced with their real self and find out that you are what you fight against?  You have deposits of evil locked up on the inside, but just because of God’s grace you are passed as holy, righteous, godly, a genuine 'god man.'  But little did I know that I was capable of some terrible sins that I so violently refute. I found out about grace. Romans chapter seven and eight meant alot to me now. I was a strict self-disciplinarian athlete so avoiding sex, reveling, heresies, malices, envies, lying and others was easy much more to fast and read the word, especially just getting saved. Little did I know that it was achieved by the mercies and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

BUT BEFORE YOU CAN TRUST GOD YOU MUST BE CERTAIN THAT YOU NEED HIM. Only sinners need him, those who are tearful and displeased by the enormity of their failing and faults.

There are some things and inclinations inside of us, that if it wasn't for the grace of God we would....(fill in the blanks). I mean things that if we didn't have so much church and house work to do God knows whose bed we would be in, what cliff we would jump off, what night club we would be in…  Can I be free here? How can you be getting hot flashes seeing a new handsom brother in church and you are an esteem wife. You need to be free. Allow the Lord to work on you.  For the Lord showed me in the spirit pastors, pastor's wives, evangelists, teachers, singers, musicians, members of the pew and others, that if opportunity meets the inside, we would have a repeat of Sodom and Gomorrah. Things that only God can remove. Things that have been there for years but some how it was under control.

I know I am speaking to somebody because the Lord indirectly forced me to write this letter after five in the morning and for the first in a long time, I am talking to him mouth to mouth. Why are you hoping that one night both of you can work late and it accidentally just happen? Thats captivity. 

No wonder we studied earlier that it is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth (Lam 3:24), its much easier to tolerate than to be an esteemed worker and have to pull down. Before you go up you must first go down. Allow him to mould you today so you can be all that he wants you to be. Saints and friends of the most high God, rest your cloak of holiness and self-righteous and ranking and facade and pretense and ... We are hurting; at least be honest with God and tell Him the truth. Allow God to do surgery on you; it might be long and embarrassing, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Ladies, gentlemen, pastors, bishops, young men, young women, teachers, prophets, evangelists, ministers, deacons, church workers, weepers, those that are dying, and you.  I am speaking directly to you by the grace of God…HE WANTS TO HEAL YOU!!  You don't have to live a life that no one else knows and you are afraid to let it be known.  Let the outward man perish and the inward man be renewed daily… "For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.” 1 Peter 3:16.

I love you all and wish you all the best.


Grace be unto you.
