7 Elementos de la Libertad del Discípulo de Cristo 3
La Sana Doctrina
Los evangelistas tienen una unción especial para predicarle el evangelio a los perdidos; es el don que Dios les ha dado. Mas una vez somos salvos necesitamos otros dones en la Iglesia. No podemos seguir predicando salvación semana tras semana; aquí entra entonces otra oficina u otro don, el Pastor/Maestro. Pablo le dice a Timoteo,
Te encarezco delante de Dios y del Señor Jesucristo, que juzgará a los vivos y a los muertos en su manifestación y en su reino, 2 que prediques la palabra; que instes a tiempo y fuera de tiempo; redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina. 2 Timoteo 4:1-2 (RVR1960)
La sana doctrina se describe en detalles in Titos 2; nos enseña como debemos vivir. En Hechos 2:42 vemos que, refiriéndose a la iglesia “…perseveraban en la doctrina de los apóstoles…” El estudio de la Palabra es esencial si queremos mantener nuestra libertad como creyentes. En Juan 15:3 Jesús les dice a sus discípulos “Ya vosotros estáis limpios por la palabra que os he hablado.” (RVR1960) La palabra Limpios es la palabra griega puros; somos purificados cuando estudiamos la Palabra de Dios.
Entonces después del acto de la liberación de demonios, si la persona no se dedica a estudiar la Palabra y envolverse en los próximos elementos que voy a discutir, ¿Qué crees que pasará? Cristo nos da la respuesta,
Cuando el espíritu inmundo sale del hombre, anda por lugares secos, buscando reposo; y no hallándolo, dice: Volveré a mi casa de donde salí.25 Y cuando llega, la halla barrida y adornada. 26 Entonces va, y toma otros siete espíritus peores que él; y entrados, moran allí; y el postrer estado de aquel hombre viene a ser peor que el primero. Lucas 11:24-26 (RVR1960)
Este es un ejemplo de una persona que recibió liberación, pero luego no siguió estos otros elementos.
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.
