"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1 Peter 3:15 (KJV)
Think Twice Before Inviting Me to Preach at Your Church
There are problems in every local church, ministry or movement. I have seen plenty of that! What is very rare is to find a pastor or a leader who is willing to crucify his/her pride, free themselves from their denominational prisons and radically and with no compromise follow the whole counsel of God’s Word. It is indeed a frustrating thing when, even after truths is shown and confirmed in God’s Word, these men and women insist in following error.
I am not perfect and I be the first one to share my shameful sins and failures as lessons to stay and pursue the righteous path of our God. I have fail many times, but the God I serve will never fail in anything.
God’s mercy in my life has been too amazing for me to turn my back on HIM just so that I can gain your favor. My challenge is to communicate these message in love, but the message does not change because of you.
To this I may add, that if you are a pastor and you are considering inviting me to preach at your church, know that I will preach what the Lord tells me to preach and not necessarily what you want to hear. I love pastors and leaders who faithfully serve in the local church and I love God’s people in general. However, my loyalty is to God’s truth and not to your denomination, manipulations and political correctness. So you may want to think twice before inviting me to preach at your church.
An independent thinker with a profound call to see the orthodoxy of the church and passion for Christ manifesting together. Angel was born in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1968, he was raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where he earned his B.S. degree in Sociology with a minor in Education from the Inter American University in San Germán in 1991. That same year he moved to Jacksonville, Florida. After working construction jobs for a year and learning the English language, his first job working with foster-care children in the capacity of youth care worker was with Jacksonville Youth Sanctuary in September of 1992. With JYS he was promoted several times as group home supervisor, legal caseworker, and program director.
While in Jacksonville, Angel studied a couple of martial arts styles. After earning his black belt, he became the founder of Good Fight Ministries as he used martial arts as an instrument to preach the gospel. In 2004 Angel was selected Martial Arts Instructor of the Year for the State of Florida and in 2005 Angel was inducted in the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame where he also received the Christian Spirit Award. In July of 2005 Angel accepted his call to pastor a bilingual church in Winton, NC where he served for a couple of years. Five months later he lost his first wife to cancer in December of that same year. This initiated a deep valley of suffering in his life, a mountain of costly mistakes and the embracing of lifestyles of sin that are well documented through this blog.
In August of 2012 Angel moved to Fairbanks Alaska with his wife Rayette Casiano and six children who are now adults. In Alaska, Angel continued his social work-related career and his ministry of preaching, teaching and writing. Angel is the author of two books, Hope for the divorcee: Forgiving and Moving Forward and 7 Banderas de Esperanza: La Bendición de Yokdzonot.
In January 8th of 2020 Angel and his wife moved to Arizona. On June 8th 2021 Angel started his home church, not as a starting point, but as a closer way to how the church is suppose to look like according to Scripture.
