Living Righteously (v 2) God wants you and me to be godly, holy people, for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. We cannot live our lives in compromise or “walking on the fence.” When you walk the fence, you will eventually fall off. Yes, we live in this world, but are not to be of this world. God has called us to be separated from the pull and lure of this world living soberly and righteously before God and others. We are called to be light and the purpose of the light is shine in holy living. Witnessing Fervently (v3-4) God wants all men to be saved—not just a select few. Witnessing is presenting a witness for Christ. You and I are living epistles read and known by all men. We share Jesus and be Jesus to others. This is how we can bless America. Someone once said it well, “Nature forms us, sin deforms us, education informs us, but only Christ can transform us”. America needs to experience the transforming power of God, but that won’t happen unless we witness fervently! Yes, we are a blessed people and a blessed nation, but let us endeavor to be a blessing to America. Until then, let us continue. . . Changing Lives for Eternity! With Love, Pastor Terry & Tina Richardson

“HOW TO BLESS AMERICA”

“I exhort therefore, that first of all intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men; for kings, and for all in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty. For this good and

acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who will have all men to be saved…”

I Timothy 2:1-4

What a blessing we have to live in America. While some people may find fault with America or voice negative opinions, we must recognize that we live in one of the greatest countries in the world. Since its inception, God’s hand has been on America and we are recipients of the blessings and favor of God. As American believers, we can do many good things for our country. We can be good citizens, vote, be patriotic, salute the flag, sing the national anthem, obey the laws, pay our taxes, and respect our leaders. While these things are good, there is, however, something more we can do as described by the Apostle Paul in I Timothy 2. In return, we can bless America by: Praying Unceasingly (v 1-2) If we are going to see God’s blessings and favor upon America, we must be people of prayer. Samuel Chadwick once said, “The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayer-less studies, prayer- less work, and prayer-less services. He laughs at our toils, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.” We must pray, for the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man or woman is effective. We must pray for our country and for our leaders. When we pray faithfully, diligently, and fervently, God will change things for the better. Never doubt the power of prayer because God responds when His people pray.

¿Que es AVIVAR? Animar, encender, atizar, tratándose del fuego. Dar nueva fuerza y vigor, hacer

cobrar vida para que las llamas crezcan. Realmente es RESUCITAR lo que se ha ido muriendo.

Muchos creen que la Iglesia de Jesucristo esta muerta. La Iglesia no esta muerta!...Solo

duerme!!!....Dice la Biblia en Efesios 5:14 Despiértate, tú que duermes, Y levántate de los muertos, Y te alumbrará Cristo.

Cuando veo la condición de la Iglesia ante los afanes, problemas y tentaciones que confrontan cada día. En vez de ver a una

Iglesia clamando a Dios por ayuda o orando por vivir en SANTIDAD. Mas bien hemos sucumbido ante las presiones del

PECADO. Oh’ como necesitamos un DESPERTAR ESPIRITUAL UN VERDADERO AVIVAMIENTO QUE SACUDA

A LAS NACIONES!.. Pudiera ser que como iglesia o individuos nuestra llama no crece, sino que cada día se va extinguiendo,

aunque lleva tiempo ardiendo, al pasar del tiempo va disminuyendo su intensidad, y llegara el momento en que se apagara,

SINO HACEMOS NADA!.¿QUÉ HARAS? El Profeta Habacuc pidió que en tiempo de aflicción y angustia para el pueblo

del Señor, Dios se acordara de ser compasivo. Su pueblo no se sostendría sin la misericordia del Señor Lamentaciones 3:22-

23: "Por la misericordia de Jehová no hemos sido consumidos, porque nunca decayeron sus misericordias, nuevas son cada

mañana, grande es tu fidelidad”. “OREMOS POR UN AVIVAMIENTO” Todos necesitamos algo FRESCO del

ESPIRITU SANTO!.. Intercedamos por un DESPERTAR!...Sin duda, se nos llego la ora de FLUIR como el ESPIRITU

DE DIOS lo quiera hacer. SEÑOR JESÚS, AVIVANOS!... Pastores Ruiz

Servicios:

Domingo 2:00 pm Miércoles a las 7 pm

(Estudio de la Biblia en el salón de ministerios Hispanos)

Habacuc 3:2 (RVR1960) “Oh Jehová, he oído tu palabra, y temí.

Oh Jehová, AVIVA TU OBRA en medio de los tiempos, en medio de los tiempos hazla conocer;

En la ira acuérdate de la misericordia.”

Del Escritorio del Pastor Ruiz

SERIE: “Avivamiento Espiritual”

Este despertar es obra del Espíritu Santo. Para lograr un

VERDADERO AVIVAMIENTO en nuestras vidas y por

consiguiente congregacional necesitamos: Confesar nuestros

pecados y Humillarnos ante Dios. Al leer estos pasajes

biblicos de 2 Crónicas 7:14; 1 Juan 1:8-10, Proverbios 28:13;

Jeremías 3:13. Realmente entendemos que para que venga un

VERDADERO AVIVAMIENTO debe haber un

VERDADERO ARREPENTIMIENTO, HAMBRE Y SED

ESPIRITUAL. Este mes de Julio OREMOS POR UN

AVIVAMIENTO ESPIRITUAL…… CONTAGIATE,

CONECTATE Y ACTIVATE para que vengan tiempos de

refrigerio de parte de Dios. Hechos 3:19.

Ministerio 19 de Julio 2015

The Bible is our “Guidebook for Living.” It is filled with life-giving, power-packed words given to us directly from the Lord

through anointed writers over thousands of years. But, how much of the Bible do we really know?

“If owning a Bible became illegal tomorrow and the only Bible we could have was what we had memorized, how much would

the average American Christian know?” The answer is, sadly, “Not much.”

We WANT to change that. We decided to choose TEN scriptures to memorize. TEN scriptures to build a foundation of Bible

knowledge. TEN scriptures to “hide in our heart.” TEN scriptures to memorize—FOR LIFE! “TEN FOR LIFE!”

Each lesson in this series focuses on one of these TEN scriptures and the life lesson that can be learned from it. Encourage

your kids to not just learn from the scripture, but to MEMORIZE it. Test them on them. Reward them weekly for memorizing

them. It will be a life-changing experience for them—and YOU!

July 5th – “Waiting on God” (Isaiah 40:31)
