Hoy más que nunca estoy lleno de esperanza por la Iglesia. Tenemos unas poderosas promesas bíblicas:
1. El mismísimo infierno no prevalecerá en contra de la Iglesia (Mateo 16:18).
2. Jesucristo no tomará para si mismo una iglesia sucia, corrupta ni fracasada; más una Iglesia gloriosa, sin mancha y sin arruga (Efesios 5:27).
3. La Iglesia pasará por un proceso de purificación intenso que será orquestado por el Padre mismo. Dios removerá la cizaña de entre nosotros (Mateo 13:24-30).
Lo que nos toca hacer es lo que Dios nos ha mandado a hacer:
1. Llevar a cabo La Gran Comisión de acuerdo a Mateo 28:16-20.
2. Capacitar a Los Santos de acuerdo a Efesios 4:12-15.
3. Enfocarse en el Modus Operandi de la Iglesia de acuerdo a Hechos 2:42.
4. Negarse a uno mismo, cargar nuestra cruz y seguir a Cristo de acuerdo a Mateo 16:24.
5. Mantenerse en la Palabra; que todo sea confirmado en ella; no en tradiciones ni en opiniones de hombre de acuerdo a Juan 8:31.
Esta mañana me levanto con un gozo sincero, agradecido de Dios porque ha sido tan bueno; adorándolo con mi espíritu, alabando con mi alma y exaltándolo con mi cuerpo. Aunque la materialización del completo desarrollo del potencial de la Iglesia no sea una realidad todavía; que Dios nos cuide de juzgar las cosas antes de tiempos y de declarar en nuestros corazones que el Señor tarda y que en esa misma frustración nos dediquemos a azotar a la Iglesia y a entregarnos al pecado de acuerdo a Lucas 12:45-48.
A mis queridos hermanos alrededor del mundo, a los que se reúnen en edificios, en casas y aún debajo de árboles… que Dios los bendiga ricamente en este día.
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.
