It is amazing what God can do with some one that is willing to be use and be part of the kingdom. In Matthew 9:37 Jesus tells his disciples: "The Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. The Lord is calling men and women to be carriers of the good news of the gospel. But the main question is: Are you ready? are you prepared? We know in the Bible that at a time God called Noah for an assignment, to deliver a personal message from God to the city of Nineveh, but we don't think that Noah was ready, so he end up ignoring God's voice and went his way the opposite way, so many times we do the same, we ignore God's word and find an excuse to do the opposite, but Noah found that because of disobedience, it affected everyone else that was on the boat, and a huge storm came to where Noah was. The people that was in the boat with Noah throwed him on the water, and by surprise Noah end up in the belly of this large fish, for three days.  Noah knew that he needed to repent, and to follow God's direction, so at the end Noah went to Nineveh and many people got save because of him listening and obeying God's Instructions. Our point in to this podcast episode is to always be ready to God's call, to be prepared and to know that will equip his people with what they need in order to do His mission. Today is the right time to follow Jesus and to be great carriers of the light, into the the darkness, delivering the message of John 3:16 to the the end of the earth.

On today's world sometimes we think that we have hundreds and thousands of friends because of social media, but at the end true friends are people that knows you, understand you, that spends quality time with you. Developing true friendships takes time and work, but it is so rewarding, when you know that don't matter what you have close friends that will be there for you in the good and the bad times. Jesus is your true friend, He loves you, and is always there for you when you need Him the most. Developing a relation with Jesus should be our biggest goal, He has a plan for your life and getting close to God is the biggest gift that we could obtain.Thank God for close friends and to be able to be friendly to other. God wants you to be the light and to grow great relationship with people that share the same vision and goals in life.

We had the Opportunity to connect with Pastor Ramirez from the Cross Church in East Chicago Indiana. Since he was a teenager he end up in gains on the streets of East Chicago, then He end up in jail, but in the prison he found God, and the desire to serve God, once he got out he started connecting with churches, and serving the local community. One say he felt in his heart to become a pastor and in obedience he planted in 2014 the Cross Church. Today Pastor Ramirez influences many people to come closer to God, and inspire them to go after their God Given Dreams! Knowing your Mission Podcast is proud to interview Pastor Donald Ramirez from the Cross Church. home - The Cross Church (thecrosschurchfamily.org)

The true test comes when is time to step out in faith and trust God. Trusting God fully with whatever comes next. It means not necessarily knowing the next steps but knowing that God will guide and equip you to accomplish His will and purpose for your life. We have so many heroes in the Bible that trusted God, one of the greatest man of God was Noah, who trusted God by building an Arc. Something that was never done before. What is it that God is calling you today to do? In what areas you need to grown your spiritual muscles of faith? It is time for you to believe and see yourself chasing after the God given dream and purpose that God has placed inside your heart!

Jesus taught us how to be Servant Leaders, Leading by Example. The only thing his humble heart wanted was to be obedient to God the Father and to follow his will even all the way into dying in the cross. Jesus even washed the feet of his disciples. He put others before himself, and served many, He was motivated by love, He had no boundaries. He taught us the right way to lead others by serving them. In today's world it is very difficult to find people that are willing to pick up their cross and follow Jesus, but I believe that there is a group of faithful believers that are willing to lay down their lives for the sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let's follow each other on social media:www.instagram.com/manuelcorazzariwww.facebook.com/manuelcorazzariwww.twitter.com/manuelcorazzari

As believer we understand that walking by faith and trusting God is the greatest gift, because He has the power to make great things happen if we believe him, he can use anyone and anything, that why it is very important to stay in the center of God's Will. That is one of the most important prayer for our life : "Lord show us what is it that you want me to do, our missions, your will for my life" He will reveal to you through His word and also He will speak inside your heart! We continue praying for you and allow God's Love and Power to grown from the inside to the outside that way the whole world can see it in you!!

After having been an associate pastor for several years, on July 4, 2004 Minister Anthony Collins answered the call of The Lord to start an intentionally multicultural, non-denominational Christian church in Knoxville, TN and The House of Worship was born. God has given him a clear vision of Black, White, Hispanic and Asians worshiping together. It is a vision of the rich, poor, morally good and morally struggling, hand in hand in pursuit of a closer relationship with Christ Jesus. His vision is of a church open to all people regardless of background, ethnicity, socio-economic status or class. Currently The House of Worship has a diverse congregation along with a diverse spiritual leadership team. By God’s grace, the result of his obedience and spiritual tenacity has been a long list of miracles and changed lives.

In today's world there so many distractions coming your way, Facebook, YouTube, Google, television, Instagram, on and on, where do you get more time to do what you suppose to do? sometimes we space out for days and months, and years, and none of our goals get accomplish, i know there is always time to get back and to focus again, but what happens if we make that a lifestyle habit and never end up doing our life's mission? It is time for us to know our mission, to create a strategy and to go after our life's assignment! We will make an impact in this world, and will allow God to use our lives for the Kingdom and to serve one to another! MATTHEW 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.

There is so many reasons why you should connect with the local church. Our host Manuel Corazzari came to USA from Costa Rica in 1996, all he had was a smile and a prayer trusting God for his future, but somehow someway he connected with a church in Hammond Indiana, where people were friendly and they started assisting him, by bringing food, and used clothes. and about 25 years later, here we are in the same situation helping a family from Honduras, the story is repeating once again. The question is if you are connected with the local church, not just because you may need them but maybe someone is in need to companion, friendship, prayer, who knows but Jesus was very connected with his disciples, and there is way more and greater things that we can do when we walk together in numbers, Even in this podcast we feel like we are a family. We pray and believe God for open doors for you and to open amazing opportunities for you to finish and accomplish your mission!

It is the New Year and it is the time for us to start a fresh new beginning into 2021. We have so many opportunities now, in fact 365 opportunities to make it right, to grow, to get close to God, to believe for miracles, every new years brings an anointing with clarity, focus, and lack for distraction towards a new goals, but soon this wave of opportunities will emerge with circumstances, routine and busyness. Here at Knowing your Mission Podcast we motivate you to start setting up some clear goals, and a clear plan of action, specially one that we can use for the kingdom of God, and to assist, inspire and motivate others! Happy New Year and lets make this one a good one!

2000 years ago Jesus became part of the lives, and all happen thru a manger, a virgin, shepherds, Wiseman, and the Holy Spirit, but Jesus was a man with a purpose, to set the captives free, to heal the sick, and restore the broken, and to build a bridge to God for mankind. In Matthew 28:19 Jesus gave us our mission to accomplish: " Go ye therefore and make disciples" Our mission became to be the hands and feet of Jesus, the hope, the light, and to live his example. Thank God for the opportunity to follow Him with our testimonies.
