God is so good.

I am so happy to see my Jesus changing lives. This past Sunday the lives of nine people were changed by His marvelous hand. I believe that one of the greatest expressions of faith is baptism, one of the many steps of faith a christian must walk, baptism is the first and most important in his new walk with the Lord.

Baptisms are the fruit of a healthy church, because it is God convincing, it is Him who convicts the person, its Him who uses the church to speak to His children. Praise be to God for such wonderful mission. Thank you God for allowing us FBC San Isidro to be part of your kingdom. I believe deep in my heart that you could do my Lord better without me, but you chose me, I can not believe that you remembered San Isidro and you have decided to glorify your name in the Church you died for. My heart Lord is full of gratitude, my Lord, my Savior Jesus Christ.

In the Book of John (my favorite) in Chapter 9:1-41. We learn that Jesus heals a blind man. We also learn how the religious leaders forget the essence of the law and accuse Jesus of not keeping the Sabbath. The religious leaders blinded by their envy, hated and anger question the healed man about his healing. On verse 25 I find the most amazing statement by a person " all I know is that I was blind but now I see". The greatest miracle a person can receive is the removal of the spiritual blindness, this man was able to see who Jesus was even when physically blind, and Jesus healed his blindness. On the other hand the Pharisees could not see who Jesus and they were not physically blind but spiritually were in complete darkness. How many times you and me can not experience the power of God because we choose to be spiritual blindness, we just do not want to see the facts, we get blinded by our envy, hated, and doubt.

Today I challenge you to ask God to open your spiritual eyes that you may see His perfect plan in all circumstances so that you may be able to say, I was blind but now I see.

In the Journey,

Pastor Ricardo Brambila.
