The purpose of my life:

To work for God.     

Book's preview

At Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.

I started my academic preparation in the Master’s of Divinity program on February 2000 at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. I considered important the in-class professors’ advice. And also they gave the same advice during the chapel services. The professors told us we needed to look for God’s will about the place God assigned us to take the gospel in our Bible studies, prayer time and also in the pastor’s sermons they preached in the church we attended. I arrived to the conclusion that God had assigned me to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the peoples of North Europe, Israel and their descendants wherever he sent me in the world.

  I had to make a special decision to ask God the woman that would be my wife. Because the most important fact is that she may be a suitable help in the ministry. She should be like those I needed to take the gospel to. It is a North European, Israelite, one of their descendants or alike. After reading the testimony of Billy Graham’s wife where she asked God to get a husband specifically, I wrote God a letter asking him a lady to be my wife. And these are the characteristics: An evangelical lady daughter of evangelicals, she must have a ministry calling, she must be a virgin, blue eyed blonde, she must know how to play an instrument and she must be able to sing. The most important thing is that she and may be able to work for God.      

My philosophical worldview is Bible based Baptist Theology. I beileve God has called me to be a minister of Jesus Christ. I will apply to Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. If I am accepted I will study the Master's of Divinity Program. God has given me revelation using diverse channels: The Holy Scriptures and acts of in life. God performed wonders in my life. God give His Holy Spirit. God reveled me his power by a miracle.

I was born into a Christian family. Accepting Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior has been the most important decision I have ever made in my life. I was born again when I was 14 years old. We used to attend church every Sunday. In most of the sermons, there was an invitation to accept God’s gift of salvation in a public confession of faith. Indeed, I remember neither the date when it happened nor the sermon’s theme, but the preacher's name: Pat Carter. After the message, it came a time to reflect on the words spoken and to make a decision I acknowledged God inviting me to become part of his kingdom, to be saved. I just had to be accepted by God’s grace. I had to repent from my sins. I just had to ask forgiveness to Jesus Christ. I begged, "Jesus Christ please save me, don’t let me go to the hell, give me life." "Please God, make me born again!” And then, certitude came suddenly to me, like a lightning. It was a feeling of assurance, which filled me up with an indescribable gladness. I was already a son of God! I felt no more fear for the future, no more expectation but the complete certainty of God living in me. The Holy Spirit had come to dwell in my heart; Jesus Christ had become my Savior and my friend forever! And all of this by grace, praise be our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.

Since I was born again I have had many different kinds of experiences in which clearly I have seen the care of God and his love for me. After some time in College I became progressively skeptical about my professional education thinking it was meaningless. At that moment I began to mix my formal training in math and Physics with philosophical topics, languages, politics and arts in what I thought was a 'holistic view' of the education. This led me to quit school forseveral periods of time. I kept up with my school curriculum but I was studying as slowly as it was possible because, now it's clear, I had no clear objective on what I wanted to do with my life. In spite of this there was a time when I had a special situation in which God called me to be awoken.

A day on the countryside, God showed me a miracle when He made a plant to sprout from night to morning! At this time, I supposed that spiritual healing was a good purpose to pursue. My intention was to acquire the necessary knowledge to heal. However, when I seriously thought about it, I realized it was a wrong way to follow. I understood that acquiring power over the elements in order to manipulate spiritual forces to cure diseases was only a disguised plan of darkness. In a certain Gnostic system of thought, there is a way to enter into the spiritual healing. It is supposed that when a person wants to control spirits to heal a sort of covenant is necessary to be signed. Choosing a plant, the initiating has to pour a blood drop on it in order to make it one's ally. I chose mescal bottoms. I thought that the goal was worthy enough to go through such a means. I tore a thorn out of a plant and pressed it against my thumb. I tried to make it bleed. I couldn't because I did not press with enough strength. It was painful! I didn't like that way. It hurt. I stopped to consider the idea. It was indeed insane. I quit my intention. I had to turn to God looking for direction and I felt the reproof of the Holy Spirit for my break of loyalty to Him. I repented for my dissipation and I asked the Lord to forgive me and give another opportunity to serve Him. I took the decision to follow Him earnestly.

I understood I was not doing well. God's knowledge and power is given through Jesus Christ and I was at that moment investigating a wrong way. I repented and asked God to forgive me and give me another chance to live according to his light. Then, I had to make up my mind. This was my last decision, neither would I try anymore using any psychedelic substance for any purpose, nor would I climb any mountain to know how to deal with life's issues. That decision was really tough to me, but I needed not to be involved with any work of darkness. Definitely, I understood that there are not neutral spirits. There are evil spirits and there is the Great Spirit, The Holy Spirit, who is God.

I went to sleep that night with my new resolution. This had been not only an intellectual struggle but also a spiritual warfare. Since I was exhausted, I did not use my sleeping bag, I just laid down on the ground. The cold breeze in the morning woke me up. I stared at the mountain for a while. It still had strong attraction to me. I knew that I could reap benefits if I climbed it. Nevertheless, I had already made my decision to keep. I walked to the place I had left my backpack in order to wear my shoes. Since I had hurt my feet by scratching then I used the cortex of a plant aloe vera to cover my skin. When I took the branch of aloe I had carried with me, I was frozen because of what I saw. In the place where I had ripped a bit of plant to cover my wound the day before, there was a little plant, a small aloe vera with near sixteen tiny branches! That was really marvelous. I understood that my decision to follow the good spirit, the Holy Spirit, had led me into life. Having in front of me such regenerated plant. I realized that God had answered my prayer with a remarkable sign. I couldn't deny his power to transform and give life. All of the reasons that interposed between my mind and my faith in God came tumbling down. No, there were not necessary thousands, millions or billions of years for God to act and make whatever he wanted. God is Almighty. A token of his power had been displayed before my eyes. No scientific inference, no philosophic position could stand on its own before the evidence of God's power and reality. That day, in that special way, God overcame my doubt and fortified my faith in Jesus Christ, my Savior.

In 1999 I got my Bachelor's of Physics. In 2000 I came to America to study a Master's of Divinity at Golden gate Baptist Theological Seminary. When I came to the Seminary, I thought God would ask me to go to an unknown country. However, God revealed me through the Bible, by prayer and his preachers' sermons that I should share the gospel by faith in Jesus Christ to the North European, the Israelites and their descendants in America, Europe and Australia.

One aspect of Christian is life that all those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior form the family of God. The relationship among the believers is in love because the Holy Spirit is living in our hearts. I acknowledge his presence and his continuous help to make me better every day of my life. The things are not the same as before I became a child of God. Now, I have a neat relationship with God. He is my Father and I am his son. Daily we are in contact. I can talk to him in prayer and He speaks to me in the Bible. 

When I came back to the city I made a great pile and I burnt all my works (poems, writings, paintings, sculptures and pictures). I started a new way of living: I closed myself to worldly books and music. Philosophies and Ideologies that leave God are godless. And as a result God moved me to decide to be baptized at the "First Baptist Church of México City in November 1991. Soon after I led an evangelistic group preaching the gospel in parks and the subway for several months. It was then that I understood that God wanted me to dedicate full-time to His work but I also had the drive to finish my academic career. In 1994, I moved near the University Campus and I joined "Horeb" Baptist Church where I worked for 2 years in the Children's Ministry. At the same time, for seven months, I was a street preacher daily in the subway and, on Sundays, assisted a group at a busy square in Mexico City.
