Allow me to take you on a journey, that’s transparent, into my life and many others. Where we once were in a pit of despair, weary, distraught and ready to give up on life. This is the greatest rescue mission known to man. A Love so profound that gave up His life for all humanity. Intercepting us from darkness as a Shepherd saving His sheep and bringing us to light. From despair to peace. From loneliness to love. This podcast is about how God saved a wretch like me and many others. How we live our lives and strive to be ambassadors of peace in His Kingdom. Together we overcome with His love.
Where's your heart at in this moment in time? Allow me to have a distant conversation with you about the Heart of the matter. Shalom! (Picture drawn by my son Joshua of his daddy)

Wake up? Ahhh no, I feel groggy. Tired. Lack of sleep. But must keep going. When our focus turns to gratitude even being able to wake up for another day, our strength gets replenished.

What do you do when you lock your keys inside your truck at a Mobil gas station? Stay tuned because here we go…….

Listening to this song in Spanish about Daniel and faith got me pumped up. Listening to children sing about God's love and His protection is so beautiful. But what's holding you back from realizing how much you are loved by our Father in Heaven? Be as little children. Be strong and of good courage. In this episode we go deep into the Lion's Den and the Fiery Furnace to see where our faith is at. Peace.
Imagine gleaming like the sun and being made into something beautiful beyond words? That's you……
So much anxiety going around. Why? A lot of people are perturbed and we need to get to the bottom of things. In this episode we go into some stuff that gets to the nitty gritty. Going into Kayne and life events too. It's in the news right. So much information out there but not enough unperturbedness
Thankful in these days for so much. Truly have to take a moment and realize the things we have and not dwell on the things we don't. But some above all is being Thankful that we have a Creator that gave His life for us.
Are you at a point in your life that just constantly thinks about the negative stuff? Well let me just tell ya that if you are listening to this than you are blessed. How? For starters you can see, so you are reading. You can hear, so you are listening. There's tons of people that can't even do that so that's a start to looking at things on a brighter side. Be blessed my peeps and hit the ground running. Well at least with my titanium hip, I move like molasses.
In this episode I ask the question: What are you running from? Or towards to? Whatever it is you will come to a point that your strength is diminished and you will grow weary. Are you faint when adversity comes? That's a tall tale sign that your strength is small. Hear me out in todays message as it goes through all levels of your psyche to point you to a strength that never fails. God bless. Peace. Proverbs 24:10
“Behold, YHVH is great, and we know Him not; the number of His years is unsearchable. For He draws up the drops of water; they distill His mist in rain, which the skies pour down and drop on mankind abundantly. Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of His pavilion? Behold, He scatters His lightning about Him and covers the roots of the sea. For by these He judges peoples; He gives food in abundance. He covers His hands with the lightning and commands it to strike the mark. Its crashing declares His presence; the cattle also declare that He rises.” Job 36:26-33. “But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid. “And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”” Matthew 14:27-33
Listening to Vancouver Sleep Clinic's “Zion” and I'm just baffled at how I'm driving to see my Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr F. Lerebours. A way that I give thanks is through singing. I love singing and even with a bionic hip, you can't stop me from dancing. Well at least like a turtle for now. I'm just reminded how awesome my Father in Heaven is. One of the most beautiful things in life is to have a relationship with Love. A love that would never leave you nor forsake you. I'm in pain, I'm feeling weak yet by the power given to me by Christ, His strength engulfs me with His awesomeness. That no matter what He got me. Folks, this is a call out to receive the One true Love that you've been longing for. A love that fills your entire being with peace, joy and happiness. If you feel that There's a great cloud that always surrounds you, take heart because the Son of Man is the light that Illuminates you to your core. God bless y'all. Peace
Unknown number? Telemarketer? These phone calls can be annoying yet I am reminded to “Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.” Hebrews 13:1-2
Came home from work and I just start playing some Evan Wickham. Dancing and singing in the house and “For so long” came on. This song makes my heart cry. There was a time when I yearned for love and thought it wasn't attainable. Boy was I wrong. As I sing my spirit cries out to Father in Heaven. Thankful for His rescue mission of my heart. I pray you are moved and heart is filled with His love profound. God bless.
I'm this episode I share struggles I have and how being thankful, no matter the circumstances, I am able to be free of pain and hurt. A lot of times forgiveness is key. Whether forgiving someone and/or yourself. It truly liberated your heart of ache. God bless y'all. Psalm 51, Psalm 91 l, Matthew 6:14-15
“Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.” Psalms 116:7; ““Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28; “Yeshua said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”” Mark 2:27-28; “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.” Psalms 127:3-4
In your fight, you are not alone. But most of the time the fight is against our own self. Willing to put your arms down is at the forefront to start the healing. You are not alone in the fight. “Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12; “The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.”” Exodus 14:14; “They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 1:19; “But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”” James 4:6
Just driving and getting some water after I dropped off the fam. Thinking about that Holy Water that courses through my body. Am I living up to standards or I'm falling short? Well I tell ya, I am falling short and need major help. From being a jerk to my wife to being a dad that needs His Dad. We all need help. God bless you and watch over you. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” Romans 12. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119
Jacked on some delicious Berry Juice (5sec song included) and needed to get this out. Just feeling passionately about life and His awesomeness. Wanted to express myself, love and concern for others. Life is too short and we need to let it out from the heart. Love y'all. Peace! “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13
I had to get this off my chest. There's so many people that feel trapped, lost, that no one cares nor loves them. That they cannot be forgiven for what they have done. It's a lie and don't you believe it. You deserve peace in your life but you have to decide to live it. Jesus tells us “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” John 10:9-11. “After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.” 1 Peter 5:10. You deserve to be loved and embraced by the Light that comforts our soul. Transforms our hearts and gives us peace that surpasses all understanding. “Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”” John 8:12. God bless you!
Heavy sigh. Remembering to breathe and let go. Heavy sigh. Breathe and place down. Breathe and cry. Breathe and smile. Rejoicing in the hope God gives me. I melt in His arms. Shabbat Shalom.
In these chaotic times the love of many will grow cold. Who owns your tongue? Are we blessing or cursing our neighbor? Let love increase. -Matthew 24:12; John 15:13
Thinking about world events from Afghanistan to Virus. No matter what is happening, we are called to be still and know God has us. Read Psalm 23, 51 and 91 just to confirm His awesomeness and love.
Driving and contemplating. Praying and reflecting. Peace in chaos! His grace is sufficient. God's love bears all and embraces me.
Don't believe the lies. When you are triggered understand what is happening in your life. You will be in a dark place but you will not be alone. You are not alone!!! Do not believe the lies you or someone else tells you. You are worth it. You are loved. Your fight doesn't have to be fought alone. There are brothers and sisters all over the world going through the same hardships. Have comfort in knowing that there is peace beyond the horizon. It is attainable. Call me, call someone. Speak about your trials. Do not keep them in. You are not alone.
Parked outside a Lowe's and before I went in I had to get this off my chest. We say we want to be United but then our actions and words speak differently. Where's the University of Hard knocks at? We supposed to be United in diversity. As best we can, this goes individually, we have to live in peace with one another. In order to do that, there has to be an accord. A common ground.
Some Tropical Park action with my man Jonathan and his precious two kids: Catherine and James. Just being a dad in this warrior-hood.
In this episode my good friend and student, Joseph, joins me in talking about trigger words or situations in life. There's a part they we discuss the Hoover Dam and I reference a Bible verse but I paraphrased it. Here's the verse: “The beginning of strife is like letting out water, So abandon the quarrel before it breaks out.” Proverbs 17:14. Sometimes in life we are so quick to jump out at someone and don't have the capacity to restrain ourselves. Well in this episode we go a lil into it and how important it is to check your heart for triggers. Hope your enjoy. Blessings!
Saint Patrick's Say is coming or for some “St Patty's Day”. No matter how you call it there's a nice reminder of why you celebrate that day and/or how. Remembering someone can bring joy, sorrow or both. I choose to remember God and how he saved a dog like me. “I am certain in my heart that all that I am, I have received from God.” -St Patrick
In this episode I talk about life. Straight up. I want to share as much as possible what has God done for my life. How He has saved me from the pit of darkness. From being born and raised in New York, Flushing, Queens. On a street named Ash Ave. Humble beginnings. My father Camilo being born in Puerto Rico and coming to the states at 16. My mom Isabel born in the Dominican Republic and moved with her sister to NY. That's another episode. But this is life and all it's intricacies. This episode goes hard into what is going on in someone's heart. Are you full of love and peace or are you full of loneliness and despair? Many of us are at the precipice of hanging from a thin thread. Well there is hope! A Hope that when I was in my darkest of days I was Intercepted from the clutches of the enemy. You see, we are so used to seeing with our eyes that we forget to see with our spirit. We are spirit beings in a body for a moment in time but time is running out. Do you know the Good Shepherd who brought me to green pastures? (Psalm 23). Do you know the Way, the Truth and the Life? (Book of John). Allow me to take you on a journey into the deepest parts of your heart. Where only God knows you to the cellular level and made you fearfully and wonderfully. Unique in all your ways but yet there might be an emptiness in your heart that you're trying to fill. You fill yourself up with so much yet never satisfied. Why? Because you are looking in the wrong place. This episode is a mild but yet profound wake up call into a life you were destined to live. Filled with peace, joy and happiness. A life that is loved beyond words can say. This is the Art of Heart: The Way of the Intercepting Shepherd. Our mission: to be the men and women after God's own heart.
