Welcome to Faith Pleases God Church

Cast your vote for Jesus
The Bible reads:
“for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” and “for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” and “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”

If you would like to receive the gift that God has for you and cast your vote for Jesus today, say this with your heart and your lips out loud.
Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart. Forgive me of my sin. Wash me and cleanse me. Set me free. Jesus, thank you that you died for me. I believe that You are risen from the dead and that you are coming back again for me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. Give me a passion for the lost, a hunger for the things of God and a holy boldness to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus, I cast my vote for you today and forever and I am going to heaven, because I have Jesus in my heart.

Living Thankful ….between the blessings
Pastor Kevin Ortiz

You are so blessed. You have a heavenly father that loves you so much. He sent His Son to save you, His Holy Spirit to teach you, and His Word to change you. We have much to give thanks for. As a child of God, being thankful is a part of receiving from God. Philippians 4:6 says “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” When we come to God with our concerns and cares, thanksgiving is an _expression of our faith that we received what we are desiring. If I bought you a watch and gave it to you as a gift, you would say thank you. You would express your appreciation for the gift by just saying thanks. The Word of God says you have been blessed with all spiritual blessings. Mark 11:24 says “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” God is a giver and He loves to bless His children. When you step into this truth, and begin to thank God for all things, then you will receive God’s peace that is beyond anything you ever experienced. Philippians 4:7 says “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Don’t ever stop thanking Him. In the good and the bad, give thanks.

Viviendo Agradecido….entre las bendiciones
Pastor Kevin Ortiz

Trust God. Trust His Word. Trust the Holy Ghost. He will lead you to victory in Jesus name. 1 John 5:4 says “for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” Say out loud. “I am an overcomer! I have the victory in Jesus name!”

Let’s pray. “Lord Jesus, I thank you for loving me. I thank you that you care deeply about me. Thank you for saving me and changing my life. I pray that you lead me through the trials in life into your blessings. I confess that you overcame the world, and I have the victory. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

No estes desanimado o triste. Regocijate en el Señor. Tu tienes la Victoria en el Nombre de Jesus. La vida siempre tendra curvas. Siempre habran retos. Pero Dios no quiere que te quedes ahi. EL te guiara a traves de los problemas hacia tu bendicion. Tu puedes confiar en EL. Dios no te abandonara. Proverbios 3:5-6 dice “Fiate de Jehova de todo tu Corazon y no te apoyes en tu propia prudencia. Reconocelo en todos tus caminos y EL enderezara tus veredas.”

Confia en Dios. Confia en Su Palabra. Confia en El Espiritu Santo. EL te guiara a la victoria en el Nombre de Jesus. 1 John 5:4 dice “Porque todo lo que es nacido de Dios vence al mundo; y esta es la Victoria que ha vencido al mundo, nuestra fe.” Dilo en voz alta “Yo soy un vencedor! Yo tengo la victoria en el Nombre de Jesus!”

Oremos. “Señor Jesus, yo te doy gracias por amarme. Yo te agradesco por tu tremendo cuidado hacia mi. gracias por haberme salvado y por cambiar mi vida. Yo oro que TU me guies a traves de las pruebas de la vida hacia tu bendicion. Yo confieso que tu has vencido el mundo, y yo tengo la Victoria. En el Nombre de Jesus. Amen.

There is peace in Jesus. It is a gift from God and it is found in the Holy Ghost. You can have the peace that goes beyond your understanding during the storm. Do not be afraid. Place your trust in Jesus and He will carry you through. You might say “But Pastor, what I am going through is so big!” I will like you to know God is bigger. He will be there to take care of you. Don’t give up. Trust Him to carry you through. You will make it in Jesus name. Begin to speak this over your life.

Lord your Word says in Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep ME in perfect peace, when my mind is stayed on You, Because I trusts in You.” I receive your peace right now in Jesus name. My heart is not troubled, because I have the victory in Jesus name. I trust your promises Lord. I will not be afraid but I will be more then a conqueror, in Jesus name.

¿Una vez ha llegado usted al límite? Quizá le han maltratado, mentido o desilusionado. En esta vida siempre habrán oportunidades para ser turbado o lastimado. Quiero darle una palabra de aliento hoy. No importa por que situación pase, usted va a salir de ella. La va a pasar. Así como despues de una fuerte tormenta, el sol saldrá de nuevo. No estes triste en tiempos de prueba, mas permite que Dios te lleve por las tormentas de la vida. Juan 14:27 dice, “La paz os dejo, mi paz os doy; yo no os la doy como el mundo la da. No se turbe vuestro corazón, ni tenga miedo.”

Hay paz en Jesús. Es un don de Dios y se encuentra en el Espíritu Santo. Usted puede tener la paz que sobrepasa el entendimiento durante la tormenta. No tema. Ponga su confianza en Jesús y Él le sacará adelante. Usted puede decir, “¡Pero Pastor, lo que estoy aguantando es tan grande!” Quiero que sepa que Dios es más grande. Él estará con usted para cuidarle. No se rinda. Confíe que Él le sostendrá. Usted va a triunfar en el nombre de Jesús.

Comienze a declarar esto sobre su vida: “Señor, tu palabra dice en Isaías 26:3, ‘Tu ME guardarás en completa paz, cuando MI pensamiento en Ti persevera; porque en ti Yo he confiado.´ Yo recibo tu paz ahora mismo en el nombre de Jesús. Mi corazón no se turba, porque tengo la victoria en Jesús. Confío en tus promesas, Señor. No temeré sino que seré más que vencedor, en el nombre de Jesús.

It is a great privilege to me that you call me Pastor. A Pastor is one who gives everything to see you grow in the ways of God. It is my prayer that you will continue seeking God and live in complete victory. We are growing very quickly and it is exciting to see. This past week God has been encouraging me to identify desires that I have, for your walk with Jesus. I want to speak to you about the love act of Praise and Worship. Faith Pleases God Church is a church that is alive with praise and intimate with worship.

Are you alive in your praise? The church family should enjoy dancing and singing before their God. We should have a heart of love and thankfulness for all the good things Jesus has done for us. We should celebrate Jesus every time we come together. There should be an outward _expression of our joy by dancing, singing, laughing, and clapping. “I will dance Like David danced.”

Get close in your worship. Worship should be a love-making experience. Worship should be an _expression of your desire to be in God’s presence. God’s Holy Spirit should touch your spirit, igniting holy passions and desires that only love can stir. It is not one moment but it should be a constant journey deeper and deeper into the heart of God. Your heart and mind should be open to connect with God, passionately and intimately. This is personal between you and Him. That is why we close our eyes and raise our hands. He wants to touch you and He wants you to touch Him. The lover of your soul calls. Come and spend time with Him.

Es un gran privilegio para mi el que tu me llames Pastor. Un Pastor es alguien que da todo para ver tu crecimiento en los caminos de Dios. Es mi oracion que tu continues buscando a Dios y vivas en completa Victoria. Nosotros estamos creciendo muy rapidamente y es emocionante ver esto. Esta semana pasada Dios me ha estado animando para identificar deseos que yo tengo para tu caminar con Jesus. Yo quiero hablarte acerca del acto de amor de alabanza y adoracion. La Iglesia Fe Agrada a Dios es una iglesia viva con alabanza e intima adoracion.

Estas tu con vida durante tu alabanza? La familia de la iglesia debe disfrutar el danzar y el cantar delante de Dios. Nosotros debemos tener un Corazon de amor y agradecimiento por todas las cosas buenas que Jesus ha hecho por nosotros. Nosotros debemos celebrar a Jesus cada vez que nos reunimos. Debe haber una expresion externa de nuestro gozo con danzas, cantos, risas y aplausos. “Yo danzare como David danzo.”

La adoracion debe ser una expresion de tu deseo por estar en la presencia de Dios. El Espiritu Santo de Dios debiera tocar tu espiritu, encendiendo una santa pasion y moviendo deseos que solo el amor puede. No es un movimiento pero debe ser un viaje constante mas profundo y profundizando al Corazon de Dios. Tu Corazon y mente debe estar abierto para conectarte con Dios, apasionada e intimamente. Esto es personal entre tu y El. Esa es la razon por la cual nosotros cerramos nuestros ojos y levantamos nuestras manos. El te quiere tocar y El quiere que tu le toques. El Amado de tu alma llama. Ven y pasa tiempo con El.

This is a response to an email from someone who was afraid that they would become sick.
I received your email. I know that you are going through a lot of fear. The devil is real good at spreading it. It starts with a thought and then just builds and builds till it torments you. Jesus says this about the devil in John 8:44 "....there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

The devil is a liar and he will always lie to you. He will never tell you the truth. He just wants to see if you would claim this sickness. Even when your body feels sick, that is a lie trying to take hold of you and cause you to claim it.

James 4:7 says "...Resist the devil and he will flee from you." or here is another translation of this scripture "...Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper."
The bible says the TRUTH shall set you free. Until now you have been letting the lies cause you to be sick. I think it is about time you let the truth come in and bring you healing. John 14:6 Jesus says "...I am the way and the truth and the life." Guess what? There is no lie in Jesus. Jesus is the truth. Here is the truth Isaiah 53:5 "...by His stripes we are healed." Do you notice that it says “you are healed.” Your healing already happened. Jesus paid the price on the cross for it. Just accept it today and claim your healing. Speak to your body out loud. "Body! Be Healed in Jesus name! Devil! I command you to leave and take your lies with you! In Jesus Name! I am not sick. I am Healed. In Jesus name! Thank you Jesus, I am healed!" Now just begin to laugh out loud and thank God for what He has already done. Ha Ha Ha Ha

La siguiente es una respuesta a un email de alguien quien estaba en temor de contraer una enfermedad.

Yo recibi tu email. Yo se que tu estas sintiendo mucho temor. El diablo hace muy buen trabajo en atemorizar. Comienza con un pensamiento y construye y construye hasta que esto te atormenta. Jesus nos dice esto acerca del diablo en Juan 8:44 "...no hay verdad en el. Cuando habla mentira de lo suyo habla; porque es mentiroso, y padre de mentira."

El diablo es un mentiroso y el siempre te mentira. El nunca te dira la verdad. El solo quiere ver si tu reclamaras esta enfermedad. Aun cuando tu cuerpo se siente enfermo,eso es una metira tratando de capturarte y causar que tu la reclames.

Santiago 4:7 dice: "...resistid al diablo y el huira de vosotros." o en esta otra traduccion de esta escritura "...gritale un fuerte no al diablo y mira como el se escabulle.”

La Biblia dice que la verdad os hara libres. Hasta ahora tu haz dejado que las mentiras causen que tu estes enfermo. Yo pienso que es tiempo que tu dejes que la verdad entre y te traiga sanidad. En Juan 14:6, Jesus dice "..Yo soy el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida." No hay mentiras en Jesus. Jesus es la Verdad. Aqui esta la Verdad Isaias 53:5 "..por Sus llagas fuimos nosotros curados." Lo notas tu que dice "fuimos nosotros curados" tu sanidad ya ocurrio. Jesus pago el precio por esto en la cruz. Solo aceptalo hoy y reclama tu sanidad. Hablale a tu cuerpo en voz alta. "cuerpo! se sano en el Nombre de Jesus! gracias Jesus porque estoy sano!" ahora solo empieza a reirte en voz alta y agradecele por lo que El ya ha hecho. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.

Isaiah 53:5
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Did you know that Jesus already paid the price for your sickness 2000 years ago? The pain that He endured by being beaten was payment for your pain. The stripes that are on His back paid for your healing. His death on the cross was payment for your life. He loves us so much that He became a curse so that the curse of sickness, disease, and death would be removed off of us. The problem is that we have been lied to by the devil. We begin to see problems with our body and allow fear to have a grip on us. The sickness and disease that we feared comes upon us. Today is a day of healing! We will not believe the lies of the devil any more. We will walk by faith and not by sight. We will exercise authority in the name of Jesus.

We claim all that He paid for at the cross. You are not sick. You are healed. Rise up Child of God. Rise up Sons of Righteousness. You are healed in Jesus' name.

Isaías 53:5 (Reina-Valera 1960)
5 Mas él herido fue por nuestras rebeliones, molido por nuestros pecados; el castigo de nuestra paz fue sobre él, y por su llaga fuimos nosotros curados.

Sabias tu que Jesus ya pago el precio por tu enfermedad hace 2000 anos? El dolor que El sufrio al ser golpeado fue el pago por tu dolor. Las llagas que estan en Su espalda pagaron por tu sanidad. Su muerte en la cruz fue el pago por tu vida. El nos amo tanto que El se hizo maldición para que la maldición de la enfermedad y muerte fuera removida de nosotros.

El problema es que hemos sido engañados por el diablo. Nosotros comenzamos a ver problemas con nuestro cuerpo y permitimos que nos llene el temor. La enfermedad que temiamos viene sobre nosotros. Hoy es un dia de sanidad! Nosotros no vamos a creer mas las mentiras del diablo. Nosotros vamos a caminar por fe y no por vista. Nosotros vamos a ejercitar la autoridad en el Nombre de Jesus. Nosotros reclamamos todo por lo que El pago en la cruz. Tu no estas enfermo. Tu estas sano.Levantate hijo de Dios. Levantense hijos de justicia. Ustedes son sanos en el Nombre de Jesus.

37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

Have you felt dry? Maybe you need a fresh touch from God. I want to let you know today is your day for a fresh drink from the living water. Living water is the infilling of the Holy Ghost. Every time you let God touch you or enter into His presence, you begin to drink. Many Christians have been hurt in there walk with God. They fail to spend time in worship and prayer. We must step into God’s presence everyday. Come taste and see that the Lord is good. Let the river of God bubble up on inside you. Drink the new wine of the Holy Ghost and receive more life in Jesus Christ. Just ask the Holy Ghost to fill you by faith, and He will. Say “Holy Spirit, I want to drink of your Living Water. Fill me to overflowing. In Jesus name.”

37 En el último y gran día de la fiesta,(A) Jesús se puso en pie y alzó la voz, diciendo: Si alguno tiene sed, venga a mí y beba.

38 El que cree en mí, como dice la Escritura, de su interior correrán ríos de agua viva.(B)

Te has sentido seco? Quizas nesecites un toque fresco de Dios. Yo quiero que tu conoscas que hoy es tu dia para que bebas y te refresques con el agua viva. El agua viva se refiere a la llenura del Espiritu Santo. Cada vez que le permites a Dios tocarte o entras en su presencia, tu comienzas a beber. Muchos cristianos han sido heridos en su caminar con Dios. Ellos fracasan en pasar tiempo en adoracion y oracion. Nosotros debemos entrar en la Prasencia de Dios todos los dias. Gustad, y ved que es bueno Jehová; deja que el rio de Dios burbujee dentro de ti. Bebe el vino Nuevo del Espiritu Santo y recibe mas vida en Jesucristo. Solo pidele por fe al Espiritu Santo que te llene, y El lo hara. Di “Espritu Santo, yo quiero beber del agua viviente. Llename hasta rebosar. En el nombre de Jesus”.

Do you know that God is bigger than you think? One of the biggest mistakes people make as Christians is underestimating the power of God. God wants to show off His power to you. He is a big God. There is no need or desire that is too big or too small that He does not want to meet. He is so big that there is not just one name for God. God has many names. Each one helps us understand who God is. When you begin to take rest in God and confess the names of God, you will see His mighty power begin to work in your life. Here is an example: “Jehovah-Jireh - The Lord our Provider.” If you have a need, pray something like this. “Father God in the name of Jesus I ask you to provide for (what you need). I trust your word which says in Mark 11:24, ‘whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.’ Jehovah-Jireh my provider, I thank you for providing for my need. I receive it now in Jesus name, amen.” Stand in faith. Do not doubt, but wait for your miracle. You will see Jehovah-Jireh provide for all your needs.

Jehovah-Ropheka -- The Lord our Healer
Jehovah-Shalom -- The Lord our Peace
Jehovah-Tsidkenu -- The Lord our Righteousness

¿Sabe usted que Dios es más grande de lo que había pensado? Uno de los errores más grandes que hacemos como cristianos es subestimar el poder de Dios. Dios quiere manifestar su poder para con usted. Él es un Dios grande. No hay necesidad o deseo que sea muy grande o muy pequeño para que Él no lo supla. Él es tan grande que no solo hay un nombre para Dios. Dios tiene muchos nombres. Cada uno nos ayuda a comprender quien es Él. Cuando usted comienza a descansar en Dios y confesar los nombres de Dios, verá que su gran poder comenzará a moverse en su vida.

Aquí hay un ejemplo: “Jehová-Jireh: El Señor Nuestro Proveedor.” Si usted tiene una necesidad, ore algo así: “Padre Dios, en el nombre de Jesús, Te pido que provees para (lo que necesite). Confío en Tu palabra que dice en Marcos 11:24, ‘todo lo que pidieres orando, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá.’ Jehová-Jireh, mi Proveedor, Te doy gracias por suplir mi necesidad. Lo recibo ahora mismo en el nombre de Jesús, amen.”

Párate en fe. No dude, sino espere su milagro. Usted va a ver que Jehová-Jireh suplirá toda necesidad.

Jehovah-Ropheka – El Señor Nuestro Sanador
Jehovah-Shalom – El Señor Nuestro Paz
Jehovah-Tsidkenu – El Señor Nuestra Justicia

Hosea 4:6 says “my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge…” We all have gone through tough times in our life. Many of us did things that we wished we had done differently. What has changed? What we know. At the time we thought it was the best decision. Now we know differently. But at the moment, we made the best decisions based on the knowledge we had at the time. God has already prepared His Word to meet any need. God honors His Word. He will do for you what He promised. We serve a faithful God. When the devil tries to attack and steal from you, God Word should rise up inside you and remind you of God's promises. His truth will always destroy the devils lies. 2 Corinthians 1:20 “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”

Today I want you to commit yourself to being a disciple of Jesus. What is a disciple? A disciple is someone who follows Jesus, and is committed to growing in His Word. We here at Faith Pleases God Church are committed to putting the Word of God inside you. You can walk in victory all the days of your life. Let God's Word change your life. Gat plugged into the FPG family. Grow daily in the Word. You will see God's miracle working power in your life. He will use you to bring hope to others who are hurting. If you let the Holy Ghost teach you the Word, He will begin to use you in ways you can only dream. I know. He is doing it in me. You will win the lost, lay hands on the sick and see them healed, and move out in mighty signs and wonders. Why? Because of the Word of God inside you is powerful. Become a disciple today. Join a cell group on Wednesdays at 6:30 P.M. Attend church regularly. Study your bible and live by it. Remember “All things are possible if you only believe.”
