Saul, does your name really mean long-necked. Has your pride got the best of you that you would persecute the house of David, and later in history lift up your hand against the Bride of Christ making her Bridegroom jealous. For in your name a secret was found about your destiny, that he who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbled himself will be exalted. For even your renewed nature will despise you, and God himself transform you into Paul - the humbled one. You will eventually find yourself at the foot of Ananais or at the sharpened edge of a sword. Why rip the prophets' garment and try to convince him of your rebellion and secret motives, which was all found to be in the bed of fear and not faith. Didn’t you know that leaders were anointed by God as a symbol of divine appointment, and called to a higher standard? And, because of your old nature, one error found in your footprints of pride will lead many down a path of destruction. Why spread this disease in the congregation of believers and be found with your crown on the head of another who did humble himself before God? Oh Saul, will you allow Paul to reign. #soundsofmywritings #oneminutewithgod #andyfernandez #iamministries

How beautiful are the colors in the sky? That precious day when you were revealed to humanity as a promise written by the finger of God as a sign, and signature of his everlasting love. That wonderful day when the sounds of peace were upon the earth and the birds once again flew with elegance and innocence because everything was made new again. What was the wonder of he, whose name means rest, when he gazed upon your bend after waiting steadfastly in the raging waters? When sunlight burst through the sky, and the gift for his faithfulness was rewarded to him, the entire earth. Your colors must reflect a secret in heaven for which no man knows or understand until he is reunited with his Creator. Why have we mocked you? Since you stood for a sign of hope and promise. That we, as a twisted generation, should use your colors for our own agenda and laugh at you with an evil smirk. We say, we will pursue that which our burning desires have thirst for, and disregard he who sits in/on the throne of heaven. Your author shall do nothing to us, they say, because you are a sign of love - so we shall make love as we understand it, and cuddle in the bed of lust and not war. Have we forgotten, why you shined with your colors so brightly? That just moments before that dreadful day you were nowhere to be found, in the judgement of the earth. Your colors remind me. Genesis 9:12-17 12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” 17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.” #soundsofmywritings #oneminutewithgod #andyfernandez #iamministries

It causes unwanted tears, it hurts like branches being cut from a tree. The soul also needs to be pruned, until it reaches the obedience and likeness of Christ. When the time of this season is complete, and the spiritual ligaments that hold this body together have been strengthened, it produces a wonderful shade for its fruits and for others desiring its wisdom. It is a wonderful work, isn’t it? That this beautiful healing is done by a surgeon who knows us and loves us. Like a tree standing watch let the showers fall, the seasons come, and the storms blow. But, because I was built like a tree, I will remain strong in the faith because my roots are deep and my life is purposed in his works. I will give forth beautiful colors in season, and never stop producing leaves and fruit for its maker. For I have been found with other friends in this marvelous garden, and encourage my friends to remain strong and focus on the skies above because it shall rain upon us again, and we shall be refreshed again and sing praises as our branches wave to the heights above to him who looks down upon us from this vineyard. Romans 11:17-22 17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. 22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

Lord my sincere prayer is that you may always create in me a “single mind”. For you said, “ a double-minded person will receive nothing from the Lord, that person is tossed and unstable in all his ways and all he/she does”. So I invite you to prune and cut off any double-mindedness from me and from those I love and care for so that we may receive from you what you promised. In Christ, I pray. Amen. #andyfernandez #iamministries

What will it be like the day, hour, and second when eternity breaks through the plumb line of time, and ushers in all truth, destiny and promise? When the shackles of refrain have been unleashed, and all shall be revealed and made known to the one, time was gifted. To the “unbeliever” there is no way to excuse this reality for physical death is - as promised to humanity as “birth itself”. For from dust you came, and dust you shall return. And how about to the “believer”, the hour when all your actions, motives and words will be made known. When the maker and judge of the universe which you considered your friend is standing with fire in his eyes, the fire that refines gold and burns away all falsehood. Will you be like John, Daniel, and Isaiah who fell prostrate to the ground and in weakness viewed with Godly fear the Eternal God who will judge all, godly and ungodly, believer and nonbeliever, saint and sinner - he will judge all and give to each man with just scales. What will he find, and say of you - well done my faith-full servant? I purge my views and think it not wise - to live life with no fear of God, that I may be surprised by my disqualification of eternal peace because of my interpretation of time. Matthew 24:36-45 36 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. 45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant........ #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

What is this strange thing? The numeric value that is given to the paper, for which man makes and dresses with color, that cometh from the created tree. What has corrupted the conscience of man that he has valued himself, others, and life according to this painting? For who was the first to find and consider this artistic talent, and what was in his heart that he would consider himself superior and prosperous over others because of this gift of art? He made images out of this wood taken from the tree, which he was told not to do by his Creator, and began to worship its beauty and value. He said in his heart “look at what my hands have made”, and was found to be proud of his work. He saw how everyone valued his art and how they wanted one just like it for themselves. So, he decided to devise a way to profit from their vanities and began to carve images of animals and men on this piece of wood taken from the tree. He found beauty in all the works of his hands, and became enamored at the image of “self” and decided to find the strongest, mightiest, and most handsome of those among his tribe, that he would honor men with a signet seal of a king. For now, he said, “We must distinguish ourselves because of our talent, and divide ourselves from amongst our kinsmen so we may have an advantage on them and establish dominion over them”. For now on, a new time has come, where men should be awed at our victories, images, and structures and should measure themselves according to our standards and art form. So the man was given a number and value by others as property to be controlled and sold in the gallery of nations, and the eternal value of a man was minimized to an image on a paper, which is now easier to carve from this piece of wood found from the created tree. For his ability to build, to draw and design has become exalted in his own eyes, and his artwork and gift was given the power of a creator as though a god. Mark 12:13-17 13Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. 14They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax b to Caesar or not? 15Should we pay or shouldn’t we?” But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. 17Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

The courts, the Holy place, the Holy of Holies, and even the ark of the covenant can be found residing amidst your life. For you are the temple of the living God and your body is the borders that adorn the outer courts. Your soul is that place where the lamp of God is lite and the showbread is offered creating the tasteful aroma needed daily so that your prayers of incense can abide and reside. And finally, the Holy of Holies is that sacred place where God writes his words and covenants on your heart. Where you and the Spirit of God have communion and he speaks with you, to you and within you. You are the temple of the living God! 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

1. How do you act, when blessed? 2. How do you live, when honored? 3. How do you receive instruction, when you have been the instructor? 4. How do you receive, when you are the giver? 5. How do you judge, when you should be judged? 6. How do you love the world, when you are a lover of God? 7. How do you love others, when you have not learned to love yourself? 8. How do you respond, when you are the one in question? 9. How do you stand with the strong, and how do you sit with the weak? 10. How do you bless and curse with the same lips? Philippians 2:5-11 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

My soul speaks to the one true God, he who looks from the heights of the heavens and who knows and sees the faithful and answers their prayerful cry. May you strengthen them and send a wind of refreshing upon their lives, livestock, ministries, and families. May they be edified by the works and favor of your hands. Comfort their souls with your holy presence, and reignite their willing hearts and fervor. May their spirits awaken again to the good deeds in love as they wait for their reward. Lord, please don’t let them stumble but if they are found fallen, we ask your Holy Spirit to restore their peace. Help all those chosen before the creation of the world, who are called by your name finish strong their race. Revelations 3:7-13 7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries
