He who calls up on His Name.

Acts 2:12 "And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved."

We experienced some car problems on our way down to Mexico City that we had to change car. We had no more problem other that heavy traffic and my daughter being a little fussy. We were driving back from Mexico City and it was around 11:30pm everybody was sleeping and I remember just thanking God for bringing us back safe when all of a sudden I see my rear view mirror and a notice a car coming very fast behind our car. I move to the side to let him go through but to my surprise he just gets really close to our car. I speed up and that car behind me got even closer. I could see that there were two men riding in front because my tail lights were lighting up their faces. I thought they were going to make a right turn but they were just following very close when I slowed down. I am human and I could feel how my blood pressure got higher and thoughts of a very serious problem. I thought about just speeding up and see what would happen. I remember that I can ask my Lord for help when no one can help me and my family in a situation like that. I prayed Jesus deliver us from evil.... I was not finished when the car behind us stopped and turn back and left.

Is it amazing how faithful our God is. Even when at first our human side calls us to rely on our own and to look for possible logical solutions, our Almighty God is so real and so present that the best prayers are when our hearts fail to find hope and we call upon THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE ALL NAMES that his Holy hand moves to protects us.


I challenge you today to call upon His Name and He will be there.

In His Precious Name,

Under His Wings.

Wow! My family and I had a fantastic time in Mexico City. I want to thank God for allowing us to take this trip. I had to drive 13 hours so I had I lot of time to think, I will share my thoughts at a later time, but for now we are grateful to be back, we were homesick.

I thank God for allowing me to live in a small community. Mexico City is a beautiful city forgive my lack of traveling experience but I had never seen so many people in my entire life. Everyday millions of people try to get their work and leave 3 hours before time "because of the traffic they say" what would normally take 30 minutes. It is amazing how can people from big cities handle the stress of driving everyday bumper to bumper. I love the valley, and I thank God for being able to spend time with my family and to see the many great things He has done 2200 miles from here.

I will get back to you tomorrow with something amazing happened to us we drove back.

This is today's devotional.
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good." Genesis 32:12


When Jacob was on the other side of the brook Jabbok, and Esau was coming with armed men, he earnestly sought God's protection, and as a master reason he pleaded, "And Thou saidst, I will surely do thee good." Oh, the force of that plea! He was holding God to His word--"Thou saidst." The attribute of God's faithfulness is a splendid horn of the altar to lay hold upon; but the promise, which has in it the attribute and something more, is a yet mightier holdfast--"Thou saidst, I will surely do thee good." And has He said, and shall He not do it? "Let God be true, and every man a liar." Shall not He be true? Shall He not keep His word? Shall not every word that cometh out of His lips stand fast and be fulfilled? Solomon, at the opening of the temple, used this same mighty plea. He pleaded with God to remember the word which He had spoken to his father David, and to bless that place. When a man gives a promissory note, his honour is engaged; he signs his hand, and he must discharge it when the due time comes, or else he loses credit. It shall never be said that God dishonours His bills. The credit of the Most High never was impeached, and never shall be. He is punctual to the moment: He never is before His time, but He never is behind it. Search God's word through, and compare it with the experience of God's people, and you shall find the two tally from the first to the last. Many a hoary patriarch has said with Joshua, "Not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass." If you have a divine promise, you need not plead it with an "if," you may urge it with certainty. The Lord meant to fulfil the promise, or He would not have given it. God does not give His words merely to quiet us, and to keep us hopeful for awhile with the intention of putting us off at last; but when He speaks, it is because He means to do as He has said. —Morning and Evening

I challenge you to hold on a promise from the word of God for that particular problem and meditate on it, pray letting God know that you believe what He has promised. I assure you you will receive an answer.

In His Glorious Name,

Pastor Ricardo Brambila
