The one who bears fruits or the one that doesn\u2019t?<\/p>\n

Which one have you been?
\n<\/p>\n

Only you, God, and the devil know the answer to this question.<\/p>\n

You try to hide, to deceive yourself by doing what others do. You\u2019re always involved in everything you\u2019ve infiltrated among the other youths.<\/p>\n

You come to the Youth group participating in activities and perhaps you\u2019re even an assistant or a youth leader.<\/p>\n

But it doesn\u2019t go further than an emotion, because when it comes time to reap the fruits there isn\u2019t any. You try your hardest to bear fruit but nothing!<\/p>\n

Then you think: “I\u2019ve done so much, God knows how much I\u2019ve done.”<\/p>\n

Because you are involved in so many things you\u2019re not able see the gravity of the situation you are in when it comes to your spiritual life.<\/p>\n

The word of God says, “Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”<\/p>\n

So stop and analyze, look around and figure out where the fruits are. The results of all you have ever done.<\/p>\n

You might says, ” Ruth, I know what I have done…”<\/p>\n

Yes! You\u2019re telling the truth, you have done many things, but that’s the problem, it\u2019s not what you do, but who you are!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no fire inside of you and therefore you can\u2019t get results.<\/p>\n

You aren\u2019t able to see it because you\u2019ve been so busy doing so many things that your spiritual life is going from bad to worse.<\/p>\n

So, wake up! Wake up so that this Campaign of Israel doesn\u2019t become yet another one that passes in your life, but the one that transforms your life, your inner being!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just participate, but live the spirit of the Campaign. If you still haven\u2019t awakening yet let this message be of help.<\/p>\n

Ask God with all your strength and be sincere. Do not accept being the same way.<\/p>\n

Put an end to this accommodation. Make a cry out of revolt as Joshua did and go take possession of what is rightfully yours.<\/p>\n

But, don\u2019t think that just by placing your sacrifice on the Altar is enough.<\/p>\n

No! After the walls fell they had to take possession of the land! This means that the fight continues and we can\u2019t sit with our arms crossed and wait for the blessings to fall from the sky.<\/p>\n

Is it clear?<\/p>\n

I look forward to your testimony.<\/p>\n

A hug and until the next post.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
