In epitome of call it was with many tribulations and many troubles in the preparation. (Luke 12:48) But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

 

In childhood the Lord talked with me, and my training started in the Evangelical Christian Church. The teenager and youth age,including being  a leader, was in the Baptist Church where I learned a lot, and then I went to Baptist Church, where I received the Holy Spirit's gifths.

 

At the ministerial trajectory, before the diaconate and as evangelist, I saw many signals, even in hospitals where everybody was healed, everyone delivered through many God's wonders. Added it thousands of conversions and in following like Itinerant Pastor, Co-Pastor and today holder. And in all wonders, also resurrections. (John 14:12) Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, that will also do the works that I do, and will do greater works than these; because I go unto my Father.

 

In the begining of IBEP, the events were so many, as before. (Romans 15:19) By the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round, until Illyria, I have preached the gospel of Christ.

 

In another way, I glorify God a lot for the perfect family that He gave me, in especially my wife, a true helper and wise in the edification of my home with greatness. (Proverbs 31: 10,29) 10 An excellent wife, who can find? Because its price is far above precious jewelry. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but you surpass them all.

 

Despite 12 years refuting the call, but as itinerant pastor, and after an asylum, which was a paradox; mishaps, and rebukes, as had been feared, which to my knowledge, many pastors had gone through similar situations and some even went to the Lord premature, others in sufferable strokes or sickly and also injuries, persecutions and tragedies. (I Corinthians 4:12) And labor, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it. (II Corinthians 4: 9) Persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

 

When I will return what was entrusted to me, I will  say. (II Timothy 4: 7) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

 

At well of knowledge, there is nothing foreshadowed in this star, that the Lord is not already acquainted. (Isaiah 45: 6) That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west that besides me there is no other; I am the Lord and there is none.

 

It is clear affirm that Jesus is immaculate  in this deal; this is just one of his predisposed. (I John 3: 3) And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

 

Who has that legacy this rather, is over the unlearned. (Proverbs 24: 5) The wise man is mightier than the mighty; and intelligent than the one with the power.

 

All is lived by man has its own price. (Galatians 6: 7,8) Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

 

Who persists in limp, it just no longer walks in Heavenly perspective. (Hebrews 6: 4-8) It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the coming age, fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; since, as they are crucifying again the Son of God, and exposed to public shame. For the earth which drinks in the rain that often falls on it and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

 

And God in hopes of garnering, provides the seed, because he doesn't predispose his glory to anyone. (Isaiah 42: 8, 48:11) says:" My glory I will not give to another".

 

Every call precedes a preparation, which is the armor  to get to where God designed, and being characterized by His sown. And the quality of the harvest alone will identify the proficient planting. (II Corinthians 9: 6) But I say, He which soweth sparingly, shall reap little; and he that soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully.
