When my mother died, in her LAST WILL and TESTAMENT, she and dad left us eleven kids quite an inheritance. I envision that they exerted a lot of work and effort, and deprived themselves of lots things that they may have wanted in order to leave that for us.

In order to get my share, all I did was to go down to the lawyer's office and gave my consent to receive my inheritance. Guess what happened? They sent me a check. Imagine that! It was all legal. I didn't have to work even one day for that check. They did all the work. Wow!

When Jesus died, in his LAST WILL and TESTAMENT, he left us quite an inheritance. I envision that he exerted a lot of work and effort, and deprived himself of lots of things that he may have wanted in order to leave that for us.

In order to get our share, all we have to do is go down and gave our consent to receive our inheritance. Guess what will happen? He...well..., just read the WILL. Imagine that! It's all legal. We don't have to work even one day for our inheritance. He did all the work. Wow!

Sis Alvear, you are a true CHRISTIAN in every sense of the word. Your sweet spirit is very comforting and amidst all the controversy surrounding things right now, you remind me that there are some true Apostolics out there spreading the Gospel. God bless your ministry...Brazil is very fortunate to have you.

A few weeks ago a boy walked into my house and another American friend (?) said something to me afterwards...he felt the wrong spirit from the boy...Yes, Brother I agree the boy has problems but did you ever stop to think my friendship with him may be the only thing standing between him and hell?

I brought a prostitute home with me one night...she had come to church and it was either to my house or the streets she would go...Prayed her through that night in my living room many years ago and never again did she go back to the world of Gomer...

My dear friends our Jesus was a friend of sinners...we sometimes cannot get that...HOLY, WORSHIPPED Jesus sitting with sinners, eating at their homes, healing their sick. No the religious of His day did not understand him and neither do most now...they had too many laws to follow to even notice he was the Messiah.
His laws were so different than theirs…they missed HIM and HIS purpose…
I hope somewhere we all can find balance and love.

I hope in my love for truth and God I have not driven the sinner away...You know that is possible...
PS Before you judge me and this little note go to my missionary pictures…
Is Benny DeMerchant still in Brazil?

All one need do is to remember where we can from to get to where we are today. You did exactly right in all that you wrote about.
