The church pastor of Grace Ramos with his testimony as large motivated us to this beautiful reflection. "The time I killed the Giant"
El Gigante had been plagued by more than 10 years, but in the last 6 months out every day, day and night to intimidate. No rest. From his mouth curses and blasphemies, and my soul tied feared.
His strength was indescribable, with a breath of his mouth he paralyzed me. The Giant's father was the King of fire, so the Giant had authority to burn. He threw fire at me, day and night without rest.
His strength was impressive, he had no weaknesses, he had been hunting the souls from their birth, and life was to steal their food.
His armor was impenetrable, its engine was pure evil and was determined to kill me.
Many had perished in the hands of Giant, and just before adding one more death to his list, he arrived. A Knight in a kingdom far had heard the cries of those who had tormented the Giant.
His presence was glorious, so glorious that the silent giant. The Giant could not hold his gaze to the Knight. "I saw what you did to my servant and therefore pay, my servant will soon cut his head, he said.
I took her hand and led me into a valley. Knights in that place had golden armor. You have been chosen to be one of them and be part of my legion, but have to face the only Giant. Put a mirror in front of me and said, "that's your Gigante" That day I died
me old nature and the fire burned all my old robe, and my fears. I was willing to be part of that army, I got on my knees and I was anointed a Knight. I was given a stronger frame made of material, and that glorious Knight, gave me his sword to expand his kingdom in every place and free the captives.
When I returned home, the Giant was still there. He was furious, and this time brought to his people, they encouraged him doing war dances.
did not know to whom he was facing at this time. El Gigante thought I was the same. I started to move, and progressed as he took his right size. It was not as great as I thought. Launched flames towards me, but this time my armor protected me. In that, he knew it. He could feel that I was a member of the Legion of Knight Glorious .... And again fell silent.
tried to fight me, but that day was fulfilled what was said Knight Glorious ... my sword and cut his head.
This is the story about the time that Knight killed the Giant.
If there is a giant in your life that steals your peace day and night, and you are consumed by the flames from his mouth, I invite you to join my legion. Just the name invokes Glorioso Knight, Jesus Christ the Savior and he will help you cut the head Gigante.

Preaching: "THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE DISCIPLE"
Acts 1:4,8. 4 While
I was eating with them, were told not to leave Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, "you heard me:
5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit within a few days."
6 Those who gathered were asked: "Lord, is this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7 He replied: "A not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed with its authority,
8 but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the tierra.»
Vemos como Dios le decía que no se fueran , les decía que se estuvieran ahí, que era donde ellos iban a ser bautizados y donde recibirían al Espíritu Santo.
Aveces estamos en el sitio donde Dios nos a puesto y queremos irnos enseguida, no queremos esperar en el, porque somos impacientes queremos todo ya, pero su palabra nos enseña a esperar en el.
cuando un creyente tiene dentro del Espíritu Santo, es cuando actúa con sabiduría, cuando en cada uno están los frutos del Espíritu Santo que son:
"El fruto del Espíritu es amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, afabilidad, bondad, fidelidad, mansedumbre, dominio de sí; contra tales cosas no hay law. "-Galatians 5:22-23
When the Holy Spirit gives its fruit in the soul, overcome the tendencies of the flesh.
When the Spirit operates freely in the soul overcomes the weakness of the flesh and bears fruit.
At first we find it hard to exercise the virtues. But if we persevere docile to the Holy Spirit, His work in us will become easier to pursue them, until they come to exercise with pleasure. The virtues will then be inspired by the Holy Spirit and are called fruits of the Holy Spirit.
When the soul, with fervor and docile to the action of the Holy Spirit, exercising the practice of virtue, it is becoming more easily. They no longer feel the repugnance they felt at first. No longer be fought or do violence. Tastefully done what was previously done with sacrifice.
It happens to the virtues as well as to the trees, the fruits of these, when ripe, they are not bitter, but sweet and pleasant taste. The same acts of virtue, when they have reached maturity, they are welcome and are a delicious treat. Then these acts of virtue inspired by the Holy Spirit is called fruits of the Holy Spirit, and produce certain virtues so perfectly and so softly that are called beatitudes, for they possess the soul that God fully.
Frequent Communion and perfected the virtues opens the heart to receive the fruits of the Holy Spirit for our Lord, to join his Body and Soul ours to ours, burns and consumes in us the seeds of vice and gives us little by little his divine perfections, in our willingness and as we leave work. For example: find in us the memory of an upset, although over, has left in our minds and in our hearts an impression, which remains as a seed of regret and feel the effects of which on many occasions. What does our Lord? Clears the memory and the image of that discontent, destroys the impression that it had been recorded in our power and stifles all the seed of sin, putting instead the fruit of mercy, joy, peace and patience. Start the same way the roots of anger, intemperance and other defects, communicating the virtues and fruits.
I John 3:1,5.
See what great love the Father has given us that we should be called children of God. And we are! Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and has not yet been revealed what will be. But know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself as he is pure.
4 All Whoever commits sin also breaks the law, sin is lawlessness. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins and that it is no sin.
Acts 8:19,20.
19 'Give me also this power to receive the Holy Spirit him whom I lay my hands. "
20 Peter replied," Go your money to destruction, and you with him because you thought that the gift of God purchased with money. We also
Spiritual things are not bought with money, as many today believe that, we must work and have our hearts for God to do the work in us.
when you're filled with the Spirit Holy you show when you are going through testing that is where you show your wisdom.
Acts 2:1,4.
1 When the day of Pentecost, they were all together in one place.
2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent wind, which filled the whole house where they were.
3 appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them;
4 were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Let yourself be carried by the Holy Spirit and not limit, so that he can administer your.
1 Peter 3:21.
21 Baptism, which corresponds to this figure, now, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ saves us, not by removing the impurities of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God.
Where there is sin can not be the Holy Spirit.
THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS THE BELIEVER

So, the power of the Spirit within us generate power or energy that enables us to be witnesses (martyrs) to Christ.
Not only are we able to bear witness to Jesus, but we also witness him

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit" (Eph 6:18).
"In the same way the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for what we should pray for as we do not know, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings. He who searches hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because according to the will of God intercedes for the saints "(Rom. 8:26, 27).
f. He inspired the praise and worship God. (Acts 2:11) .
