First it's The Mask of Beast next The Mark of the Beast

Even the Little Ones are Forced into it

Three Sibling Forced into it

Even Grandma

First it a face mask everyone has to wear. Next it will be a chip or Mark everyone will have to take in order to buy sell or trade. Revelation 13: 16-18

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 

Moon Rise

Moon Rising Over Lago  Paranoá, Brasilia Brazil

Moon Now Higher in The Sky

I'm always amazed at how fast the moon can rise and move upward in the sky. These two photos are taken just minutes apart and as you can see the moon has moved quite a bit. This is a reminder to me just how short and how fast life goes by. I'm trying to make the most of my time here on Earth. As the Bible says we have to work while there is light. Today we live in a time as Isaiah described  where evil is called good and good evil. I sort of look at it this way, even though time are hard right now, if you are in Christ, these can be some exciting times we live in but only if you are in Christ. He is the one who hung the very moon your looking at right now. Amen to the Glory of God.

Shy Little Girl

Shy Little One, Tapajos National Forest, Brazil

Deep in the Tapajos National Forest in the State of Para, Brazil, lives a shy little girl with her family. Hopefully this little one will have a chance to grow up strong and healthy and someday know the Lord. Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Luke 18:16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. There are many Bible Verses giving references to children and what a blessing they are. Jeremiah 1:5 "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." One thing all these Scriptures do is nail and expose the abortionist and expose their evil plans for the unborn or nearly born. Matthew 18:6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. This verse says it all especially in today's society in the USA where the school systems are trying to indoctrinate young kids into all kinds of sine and debauchery.
 

Flute & Drum

Seu Sérgio Playing  one of his many hand mdae flutes

Ana Lídia helping Dad out. 

Dad on the flute and youngest daughter on the drum. Probably two of the oldest instruments in the  world, the Flute and the Drum. Back in Genesis Chapter 4:21 the Bible mentions the first musician Jubal, was his name. He had a full time job making and playing instruments. As a musician I've always found it interesting that the Bible mentions the first musician on earth. Then all throughout the Bible we see how music was used to defeat the enemy and give glory to God. And still to this day music, if used properly (to worship God) can be a powerful force in your life to set you free and bring healing and peace into your life.

Moon Rise Over Brasilia

Moon Rise Over Brasilia

Moon High in the Sky

There is something about a Moon rise that I find just fascinating and beautiful. And with Four Blood Moons schedule to appear in the next year from April 2014 through September 2015 it make it all the more interesting on whats going to take place on Gods calendar. Joel Chapter 2v30-32 says 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the survivors whom the LORD calls. Looks like lots of exciting things on the horizon for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Jaboticaba Tree

Jaboticaba Tree bearing fruit

Jaboticaba Tree, before I ate all the fruit off of it.

Jaboticaba, fruit of the vine or in this case a fruit that grows on the bark of a tree. As far as I know this exotic fruit from Brazil, South America,  maybe the only fruit in all the world that grows on the bark and branches of the tree and not on the vine like most fruits do. No matter what the fruit is I'm always reminded when when I see fruit bearing tress about certain scripture in the Bible that talks about tress and fruit. Luke 6: 43 & 44  “A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. ⁴⁴ A tree is identified by its fruit. And Verse 45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. Gal 5:22 & 23 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! 
As Christians we are to produce good fruit in our lives. This is what I try to remind myself about everyday it all about Jesus.

My Nephew-Mi Sobrino

Joseph Anthony in Bogota, Colombia

Joseph Anthony & Me somewhere in Bogota

Sometimes life can be unfair and deal you a hard blow such as was the case of my nephew who back in 2003 his mother disappeared.  Thank God, for a loving caring family back in Colombia, that has taken good care of him for almost the pass ten years. This young man is very focus and know what he wants in life. He enrolled himself in an English class in Bogota, Colombia, and learn to speak English in eight month so he can come to the US to study. With the help of God, I'll do all I can to support him and see to it that he will chance to succeed.

As the Bible says in Jeremiah 27: 11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for harm, to give you a future and a hope. 

So no matter what's happen up to this point I know that God is faithful and the gates of hell will not prevail. Thank you King Jesus!!

In Through the Outdoor

It's never to Late

Knock and the door will be open. Many Bible verse refer to doors being open and closed. Jesus says in Revelation 3:20 Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as a friend. I'm always confronted to know that whatever I'm going through in life, the King and Ruler of the universe is there to help and guide me through!! Thank you Master. There is none like you you as the old song says.

Spot Light on Youth

Youth Pastor Thiago, teaching a outdoor Bible lesson at a local park in Brasilia. If you lose the the youth, you lose the Nation. Hopefully these young men will grow up and be strong and mighty warriors for King Jesus.
