My Lord I thank you for the things You do in me, for the resolve and the tenacity you have given me in these forty six days. Lord I could never have done this without you, I could have never done this without your support, your love and your mercy. Dear Jesus it is for you I have done this and will continue until You decide it is time to stop and then I will kneel before you and let the world know that ONCE AGAN YOU, MY LORD JESUS HAVE MADE GOOD ON YOUR PROMISES TO ME, YES ONCE AGAIN. I believe it is easier to fast , to believe and to wait when you have received miracles and special blessings from you before. I believe it is, Lord because the miracles I have seen you perform are way beyond what I am asking for now, I have seen you cure people who were chronically sick, Lord I have seen you make a disabled person rise from his chairs and walk, not only walk but stand before hundreds of people to praise and glorify you. It is an experience that every body in the world should have some day, we watch it happen on television many times almost every day but it is not the same. No My Beautiful Jesus it is not the same to feel the Holy Spirit descend upon hundreds and thousands of people praising and gloryfing you and your love for us. You can feel the energy in the air, you can feel the love and the fire all around you and people cry and they laugh and they hug each other, it is amazing. If every persn in the world could have this experience at least once in their lives, we would live in a completely different world, a world of love and care for each other.
I have been in these celebrations a couple of times and I have also felt your might in small groups in strange places too. One of these ocassions was in prison, yes, my firends I was in jail for a couple of months for doing something stupid. It was God's will that I spent some time in the shade; he needed to get me back in line at that time, I was starting to run wild and to stray from the flock, not that I really belonged to a flock, but I was really starting to drift away. Any way I was coming home when I was stopped by the law and presented with a warrant for my arrest, for ....... I had no choice. I went before the judge and she released me on bail, I had a court appointment two or three weeks later, I was cocky back then and living where I live and being who I was, I decided to do nothing about my defense I would scare the hell out of the person complaining so he would withdraw the complaint. The point of the matter is that the person would not scare because he was protected by God , WHO WAS THE ONE WHO WANTED ME IN JAIL ANYWAYS. When I came back before the judge, she revoked my bail and sent me to prison until I paid this man some money I owed him. I did not have the money so my wife tried to borrow it from my father who said I would stay there because he had no money. I had never been in prison before, this is not true, I spent a day in prison in Miami for drunk driving many years before. But this time was different, this was real jail, in my country, mixed up with murderers and all kinds of crazy people in the same cramped up cell.
I could not sleep the first night, there were millions of mosquitoes and all of them wanted a piece of me, I did not have any other clothes than the ones I was wearing and had nothing more to cover myself with. The next morning I had nothing to eat, prisoners do not get food from the system, if your family does not bring you food, you have to relly on the mercy of the other prisoners. I could not have my wife coming every day to feed me so I had to learn the works and how things were done, I was not sure how long I would be there. On the second night I was separted from the other criminals, a friend of mine who is a police officer ordered me placed in a cell alone, my wife was allowed to visit me every day too. Things started to get better and I was almost happy, I was not thinking about You Lord, you know that for you know me better than I know myself, I was being tough and I was being brave. That night alone I cried, I cried because I was angry, not for what I had done BUT FOR GETTING CAUGHT DOING IT. Amazing, men can become so closed and so hard like brick walls, like concrete, nothing goes by or goes in when we have grown tough skin around our hearts and our souls, when we do not feel our pain, when we do not feel other people's pain. I sat in the dark looking at the bars and all I said was I can do this, I will have someone pay this guy and II will be free.
My wife talked to my father about the whole thing and he refused to pay my debt, my friends refused to hep me too. There was no one I could turn to, I tried blackmail and sent my wife and kids to talk with my father but he wouldn't budge, he said no and said I should find a way to pay that money myself and not to bother him again with the same story. Yet I was not frightened by this either, my logical mind and my mind of the world was working at warp speed, I was producing and eliminating possibilities in seconds. Not to worry, I woulod show him that I could do this myself, I did not need him. I sent my wife to the bank to mortgage our house, to get the money I needed. I thought there will be no problems the house is mine, there is no debt on it, it is scott free and mine. But the days went by and I did not get an answer from the bank and I started to get nervous , just a bit but the dam was starting to crumble. One night a pastor, came into the cell area and went to each cell asking everybody if they would like to join him in prayer out in the hall. I said what the hell, I will get some exercise and I will get out of the cell for a few minutes. Well, My Lord, you know exactly what happened afterwards, IT WAS ALL YOUR IDEA AND YOUR PLAN, to get me into praying, into thinking about you, Lord I felt the Spirit come upon me like thunderbolt from the sky. Yes My Lord in between sinners, thieves, murderers, drug dealers and whores, You stood right infront of me and called MY NAME.
I stood there dumbstruck and in a cold sweat, and from my mouth strange words came out, words I did not understand, words I had never ever spoken or heard, and I felt you lift me Lord and you said, Dont worry, all will be well. I missed you." That night the songs from church came back to me, the words in the Book came back to me, old prayers I had not spoken in many years came to life before my own eyes, Lord the walls surrounding my heart crumbled and fell before your might, before your love and mercy. That night I thanked the preacher and went back into my cell where we talked long into the night. I was back, You, YOU HAD NEVER LEFT, YOU HAD ALWAYS BEEN THERE WITH ME, FOR ME. Lord I slept well that night, on the following days I got my wife to bring me a Bible and other books I had read long ago that were great for the moment. I got back in touch with you and with your heart very fast. I was not a thug anymore, I was again your lost son. My Lord the following days were days of peace and meditation for me, we spoke and became friends again. A few days later my father came forward and paid the money I owed and I was released. I remember that the first thing i did was to go to church and thank you greatly for sending me to jail. I had a long beard and long hair, I had been there more than twenty days, after that I went to thank my parents and to ask for their forgiveness for being so darn stupid and ordinary. After that I went home and slept for two days on my own bed.
The point of this story Lord, my friends, is that God is always watching us, he is always on top of things, He knows how many hairs we have on our head, not even we know that much anout ourselves. Once in a while He believes that we need a recall, he feels something is wrong, he feels we are straying from the true path and he calls us back. Some of us are obedient and get back into line fast without too much damage being done to ourselves and to others but others like myself are tough cookies that need to be shaken. Well, My Lord I learned my lesson back them, the shaking worked and I got back in line and I have stayed there since. But as time passed and I prayed and spoke with you every day I was not satified, there was something missing. You know me Lord, I do not have patience, I do not believe in waiting around for things to happen, I like to go out and get them done. For some time I was completely faithful to you and then slowly but surely I prayed less and worked more, I talk with you less and kept quiet more, " MAN IS THE ONLY ANIMAL THAT TRIPS ON THE SAME STONE TWICE, OR MORE TIMES!!!!! Yes My Lord when all was okay and there were no more clouds in my sky, no danger, no páin, I again drifted from you, there was always an excuse not to go to church and not to pray, there was work and bills to pay and so many other things until my arrogance and my stupidity made me believe all was well and it was time to fly solo. There is no flying solo, Lord, we either fly with you or we crash. We are not in grade school, you are not a teacher showing us math and reading, You are the Eternal Teacher, the Master, You My Lord will teach us something new every day of our lives IF WE LET YOU, IF WE LISTEN TO YOU, IF WE ARE ATTENTIVE TO YOU. You are not a driving instructor, that finishes his job when we get a license to drive, we depend on you Lord, we will always depend on you it is our arrogance, our stupidity, it is the devil who makes us believe we can do it alone and we can go through life alone without having consequences for the things we do today or did yeaterday.
We are not alone and we hurt people every day, our actions affect someone somewhere all the time. Humanity is weak, we are weak, greedy, egotistical, self- centered animals., somewhere down the line we decided that you Lord, you have built this world to serve us and that we own it and we can do with it whatever we want. This is so not true, You My Lord made this world for us to SHARE it with all the other species on it, we are the administrators of the Earth, not its owners, we are responsable to the future generations, we are responsable to YOU, Dear Jesus. Every time man forgets that You are the Allmighty and that we depend exclusively on You and on Your will for us to simply be, things happen that hurt someone somewhere. When a building owner gets greedy and wants more money, he raises the rents, all the people in the building suffer. When a huge corporation needs to pay off its executives jets and expenses the money comes from somewhere. yes it comes from all of us around the world buying whatever this corporation makes. Yes when corn prices go down because someone is using it to make fuel instead of using it for food, corn growers all over the world suffer, they plant less bringing hunger to millions waiting for that corn. Life is a circle, nothing goes unnoticed, unpunished or unrewarded, the world as you made it Dear God is perfect, it is a syncronized machine that works beautifully until we, MEN and WOMEN who live in it, fail to care for it, until wer fail to followe your teachings, your Word, when we become greedy and selfish this is when the structure starts failing and You have to come in and bring us down a notch.
My Lord there should be no need for us but there is, it is in our nature. Lord during this time of fast I have learned many things from you and the people around me, the people who support me and the people who pray for me. One of these things Lord is that we can influence others and mean something in the lives of others if we take a minute of our time and try it. I have been teaching my girl about th old and new testaments, bible stories I had forgotten come to life in my mind and I turn them into movies to which she listens without even blinking, Lord you are so marvelous that I have heard her tell her friends the same stories, in the same words and I have seen those children enjoying them tremendously, and so it is that You Marvelous Jesus spread the word among the new generations. Dont get me wrong either there are exceptions to every rule, yesterday I was told by a pastor of the church that forty five days was too long, that I should take break for a few days and come back to the fast later on. Take a break, the Lord will not mind, you can pick it up in a few days...... I promised my children to care for them and love them always, can I take a break from this duty from this rpomise ? I dont think so, much in the same way I cannot take a break from a promise to God ... I do not judge but I dont think so either.
Now I will get back to the original point of my writing, I am sorry that I ramble off Lord but today is a good day and I feel like talking with you about everything and anything. Well as I said before I again started to drift away, believing all was well, because it is our way not to accept our dependance on you, it is bad for our arrogance to believe that we depend on someone else, that alll wee have is nothing but a gift from the same person who can take it away with the blink of an eye. Yes Lord we are afraid of accepting this reality because it makes us dependent on you, because it makes us feel less men and women because if we accepted your power and might, our dependance to you we would feel that we can never stop serving you, or begging for things from you. We are afraid of angering you because it may all go away if you want it to, all our cars and our homes and our monies and vacations, all of these pretty, beautiful things we so cherish may just vanish into nothingness, if you want it to. These fears Lord are the reason why mas is so insignificant and destructive, because our minds and hearts are so small we can only see the tip of our noses. Lord we are not able to see the forest, just our small insignificat and unbelievably small brush, it is not even a tree, it is a brush with a few weak limbs.
Dear Jesus we fail to understand the size and the immensity of your love for us, of your care, your mercy, my Lord, today that I have nothing, today that I have ,lost it all that you once gave me, I thank you. I thank you because I know that I never needed all those things and my kids never needed them either, we had You Lord, we had peace of mind, we had family and loved ones. Some will say, it is easy to say that when you have nothing,. Yes this is true but I had it all, I had the cars, the choffers, the huge house, the paintings, the trips, the world, the bank roll, I had it all except, PEACE, except rest, except love and sharing. I spent the time worried about keeping what was not even mine, I spent the time worrying on multiplying something that You My Lord would have multiplied ten fold in an instant. Today I regret that I spent all that money stupidly, I look at you Lord and regret not having seen an eagle fly over the Rocky Mountains, or a condor in the Andes, I regret not visitng the lands where You lived Lord, where all this story was written, where it all took place. I regret my Lord not walking down a path in the Amazons or watching a migration in the African prairies, Yes Lord these are things I regret not having seen because these are the beautiful things this world has, these are the prizes and the everyday miracles you have made for us, for us to look at, to enjoy, to marvel at, so we understand why we are here, who You are and what you can do, for us Lord,
Dear Jesus today is day forty six, and I will gladly continue to fast as long as it takes Lord. This has not been a sacrifice for me My Dear Jesus IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEDGE, It has been an honor Lord to know you better, to understand Your world and my part in it better. I know My Lord that you have a reason for me to be here, that there is a reason for my life to be and have been what it is and has been. I do not try nor intend to understand it or what it is you want. I am only trying Lord to remain neutral, to keep an open heart and an open mind to your wishes and plans. I know time is yours to have and yours to change and your to make, it is no longer important to me, I beg you Lord to keep my heart open, to open it further, Lord I beg you to destroy any remains there are of resentments and of hurt and scars in my heart andf soul, Dear Jesus I beg you for a clean slate, no resentment. I cannot ask you to erase the pain, the suffering Lord, for these things are waht make me who I am, it is the pain and the suffering which give me the ability and the right to tell others not to follow in my tracks, not to do the things I have done. Every time a tear rolls down my cheek Lord I know a soul is saved, everytime I speak out loud about my life and your mercy for me the devil looses a soul and heaven smiles down on us. Lord I beg you keep those feelings alive, do not allow me to forget one day where I have been and what I have done for they are the reasons why I love and serve you today and always Lord., Dear Jesus I beg you touch us all, let us know Lord that all we have is yours, we are administrators, when we leave to meet you all will be left behind. We will come before you naked, poor and alone, what happens then will depend on what we do here, how we treat others and what we do for you. Forgive our sins Lord, forgive them all, Dear Jesus I beg you erase the memories of pain and resentment from all the people I have hurt in my life, let them know Lord that I think of them and pray for them every day. Forgive our sins Lord, but do not alow us to forget them because they are what makes us human and fragile, YOU ARE WHAT MAKES US STRONG AND INVINCIBLE. Thank you Jesus in you we trust.

Amen, Boartor! We agree with you for smooth and speedy house repairs. May the Lord guide the hands of the workers and provide all that is needed, as it is written: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Josh 1:9. Trust in Him! 
God bless!
Hello everyone! Let's lift up 
ἔρχομαι in Jesus' name.
