Godly relationships are built on a common faith, respect, love. Anything else are "gold diggers". Be careful of those who disguise themselves as friends but are solely concerned about their own agendas and how you benefit them. Godly relationships have a mutual concern for each other. John15:9-13 9“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. #andyfernandez #iamministries #reflections

Nothing substitutes for 'Loving the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' When you do, the rest becomes easier. Do not make any "mistake", this is the greatest commandment. Don't lose your first love! #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoradvice

Being anointed by God is a privilege that very few have, it is only found in the secret hiding place of communion with God. You can not substitute talents, charisma, gifts, and skill with anointing. When you find someone anointed stick with them, pray for them, encourage them, and learn from them. Value and respect the work of God in that person's life. They may pass you their mantle! 2 Kings 2 #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoradvice

In this serene day, I see your Glory Oh Lord in all that you have created. I have seen your unending mercy and love for your people, and how you pursue us with your unfailing love. I see how you have sustained us in your hands even when we have failed you and not searched your counsel, your love is beyond a man's understanding. You are mightier than mighty and awesome in all your ways. Thank you, Jesus. #andyfernandez #iamministries

"Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God is giving you." For many, this may seem un applicable because you have suffered the loss of your loved one, or perhaps it's hard to honor your parents because of their lack of positive influence or abuse. Yet God has placed this law in our hearts for your benefit. It is the only law that is accompanied by a promise. Submitting and honoring your earthly authority reflects your character and maturity in Christ. Honor, esteem, and hold of high value those who also guard your life and soul (your pastor, your spiritual mother, your earthly parents). #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoradvice

Repentance will HEAL your relationship with God and others. It will harvest a load of righteousness and restoration. Don't excuse yourself with cunningly selected verses found in the Bible. The enemy of your soul satan practices this behavior. "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near". Matthew 3:2 #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoradvice

"If you paid for IT, worked for IT, or bribed your way for IT, IT wasn't by God's grace! When the grace of God is lavished upon you, IT is overwhelming and a gift." #andyfernandez #iamministries

Set your eyes upon heaven and remember that you are destined for eternity. You are a stranger on this land, the inhabitants mock your life and your God, but I have asked the Holy Spirit of God to remind you of his eternal promises and reward. Your seal, your reward, and your Crown is in heaven. For the end of all things is truly the beginning! #andyfernandez #iamministries

Lord speak to me, I desire your Words rather than the voices of many. I desire to distinguish your voice for it gives life to me. Erase from me Oh Lord my limited understanding of your Ways, your Wisdom, and Sovereignty. I refuse to teach was is common, but give me Oh Lord fresh manna and oil that falls from heaven. Purify me Oh Lord with your mercy and your love. Let your precious blood flow from Calvary into my heart. I desire to serve you with cleans hands and a clean heart. Forgive my transgressions and my iniquities for they are many. Restore unto me your Love and Spirit that I may please you. I surrender all. In Jesus Name I Pray. Amen. #andyfernandez #iamministries

Would you still love, need, and remember Jesus when all seems to be well? Would you still sing him a new song in the morning, when life has thrown you a curveball? Is your love and faith in Jesus STEADFAST, that is the unending question. #andyfernandez #iamministries

Are you willing to give your life and die for your faith in Christ? Many are afraid to face this reality and truth, sacrifice and suffering are part of the gospel life. In order "to be glorified like Christ you must suffer like him". Let us not shy away from life because of the fear of death. Let the resurrecting power of Christ live in you. Matthew 16:25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. #andyfernandez #iamministries #reflections
