Conversion to CHRIST in
Guatemala
July 7 2004
Dear
Friend,
For some time I have wanted to write part of my
testimony. My mother died twelve years old and my father died later.
I was a bad child and disobedient to my parents. I did not know the
real God, His Son, or the Holy Spirit.
God in His infinite
wisdom, worked through a Christian Evangelical woman to speak to me.
At first I hated her and the Evangelicals. I hated everything about
the Bible and God. When the woman first talked to me I hit her on the
shoulder to show her my rejection of her words. I spoke to her
brutally so she would not speak to me again.
Through all of
that she prayed for me. I wasn't aware of it at the time. She prayed
me for about a month that God would save me from eternal
damnation.
One month later in November 1978 I had an encounter
with the living God. For the first time in my life I felt my sin. I
felt dirty and lost. But a vision came to me of someone being nailed
to the cross for me. I felt pain in the depths of my being for my
sins, and I cried as a child cries from the heart, from the depths of
my being. It was the mercy of the Trinity, the Father. Son, and Holy
Spirit working in my heart. I felt the love of God, having sent His
own Son to give His precious life as a sacrifice for sinners. After
God worked in me repentance, I felt at peace with God. I felt the
presence of God. I felt love. I was born anew. Praise the Lord!
The
next morning. Sunday, I got up early to go to the Christian woman I
had once despised. I told her I wanted to go to church and she
embraced me like a mother does a son and said, ''Glory to God, I have
prayed for you."
Sister Ruth Quixtan and I went to the
Evangelical Church together. Life with the [Lord] Jesus Christ is the
most beautiful and happy life that can be, The struggles and tests
exists. but GOD has the control. I have the gift of personal
evangelism to reach others so that they may know the true peace and
happiness that only Jesus Christ can give.
I hope God will
move your heart; to send me Gospel tracts. I'm not financially able
to pay for the tracts. I don't have material work, but I am working
in Gospel Evangelism in many places here in Guatemala to reach souls
for Jesus Christ. I need tracts in Spanish which is our language. May
God continue to bless and reward you.
Sincerely in Jesus
Christ,

Ye must be born again
All have sinned, and broken God's good laws in heart and in deed, and nothing sinful will be allowed into God's Heavenly City; a real place of “fulness of joy” in the presence of Almighty God (Rm. 3:23; Rv. 21:27; Ps. 16:11; Rev. 21, 22).
If you die in your sins, you will not be allowed into Heaven, but will end up in a place just the opposite of Heaven, a place called the Lake of Fire, a real place of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. A place of real torment - forever (Mt. 25:41, 46). "Except ye repent, ye shall likewise perish" (Lk. 13:3)
You have nothing to offer God by which you can gain Heaven nor escape Hell. Neither Allah, the Pope, Mary, Muhammmad, Buddha, etc. can save you. Your church membership, “good deeds,” praying to saints, etc. will not make you right with God.
Only the One sent by the Father, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came down from Heaven is able to redeem you on His expense and merit – on His precious blood and righteousness (not yours) - and then strengthen you to follow Him.
It is only this Jesus that lived sinless, and then took your sins and paid for them with His own blood, and rose again to be your present Savior and future Judge! (Acts 10:34-43; 1Pet. 1:18-20; 2:24; 3:18)
You can and must be saved – forgiven, justified, and "born again" by the Spirit of God, as Jesus said you must be (Jn. 3:3-7). If you want to be saved from your sins and instead live for God (and you cannot until you are born again), ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save you trusting Him alone to do so. Jesus priomised, "He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life" (Jn. 6:47).
Be baptized under water in identification with your Lord, then follow Him with a Bible believing church . "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: ...And they continued stedfastly ... (Acts 2:41, 42).
Praise ye the Lord!

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless HIS holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all HIS benefits (Ps. 103:1, 2). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
