God is not simple; it is an insult to call Him so, for who understand the mind of God? Nevertheless, we must find God in the simplicity of our lives! In the waking up in the morning to new mercies, in the gift of a saved soul, in the priceless moments with our families, in a good conversation, in the beauty of a sunny day, in the dignity of making a living, in a walking alone with God, in the freedom that we still have to study the Word, in the voice of the Holy Ghost and in a paper and pen.
I am not waiting for the next move of God or subscribing to this or that idea of who He is. I have access to Him now. God got this! That is revival!
He is the Creator, He is Goodness and He is Justice! He is the author and finisher of our faith, yes; He got this!
I am growing in grace and in the knowledge of my King. God has managed to navigate His will through history and the resistance of evil men. If He is with me who can dare stand against His purpose for me?
Yes! God got this! He is God when I am in the mountaintop, when I am in the valley or when I am in the desert. He is God whether I can sense His presence or not; when I am filled with laughter, when my heart is trouble or when my tears do not let me see the way, He is God.
He is God whether He answered my prayers or not. He is God in the supernatural and He is God in the simplicity and routine of the natural. He got this!
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.
