En el Nombre de Dios PADRE y del Espíritu Santo sanidad cae ahora como lluvia sobre los terrenales.
Dios PADRE y el Espíritu Santo nos ama, nos sana, nos salva para vivir eternamente en cuerpo y espíritu. PADRE mos multiplica los alimentos nos deja vivir gratuitamente en la tierra..
1 Solo Dios y Espíritu santo que se llama PADRE
1 Solo PADRE Celestial y terrenal
1 solo Salvador porque PADRE murió por nosotros
1 solo redentor porque PADRE nos atrajo a su resurrección y nos creó con su Santa Carne, Sangre y Espíritu Santo.
1 sola familia porque todos los terrenales somos hijas e hijos de Dios PADRE de carne de sangre y de Espíritu Por lo tanto somos hermanos /as.

EL que llevó la cruz es nuestro Dios Padre que murió en la cruz para salvarnos a cada uno de nosotros.
Es Dios Padre que resucitó de entre los muertos y estuvo 40 días más en la tierra, enseñando sus Santas Leyes para que entremos a su Reino aquí en la tierra dejó consumada su salvación, y que ya no va ha regresar porque dejó terminada su obra. Y el de cuerpo, mente y espíritu, limpio podrá ver a Dios Padre y sentir al Espíritu Santo. Pero nadie creyó,
El gobierno o Reino de Dios PADRE
Leyes: Amar y servir a Dios Padre y al Espíritu Santo con toda nuestra mente cuerpo y espíritu.
Amarse los unos a los otros como hermanos de carne de sangre y de espíritu.
Los 7 días a la semana Dios PADRE los santifico. En el Cielo si cumplen las Leyes del Reino de Dios Padre. Quien cumple las Leyes de Dios PADRE en la tierra?
La Santa Cena de la nueva alianza Comer la carne y sangre de Dios Padre, representado por el pan y el vino.por la crucifixión y por la resurrección de Dios PADRE: Dios Padre nos atrajo a su crucifixión, y nos atrajo en su resurrección y nos creó con su carne, sangre y Espíritu convirtiéndonos en sus hijas e hijos.
El Santo Juicio del Arrepentimiento de pecados para el perdón de pecados. 70 veces 7 al dia se debe perdonar al que se arrepiente verdaderamente.
La tierra es de Dios PADRE y el Espíritu Santo, y ÉL nos deja vivir gratuitamente.
El Padre Nuestro…. Vivir gratuitamente en la tierra.
Convertir nuestro cuerpo en santidad, porque es el templo de Dios PADRE y del Espíritu Santo.
Sanar toda enfermedad y toda dolencias,, resucitar a los que duermen en la muerte, creer, obedecer, y enseñar las Leyes de Dios Padre y del Espíritu Santo.

Gracias Dios Padre y Espíritu Santo por, cuidarnos, escucharnos, por salvarnos de todo mal, de espíritus de muerte, de enfermedades, de accidentes, de maldiciones de maldades, de todo disfraz de muerte.,
Te amamos a ti Dios PADRE y Espíritu Santo, porque eres nuestro único Dios, Padre, Madre, salvador, redentor, creador, legislador, Rey.
Profetas hasta Juan el bautista, este fue el último profeta en la tierra. Porque Dios Padre ya vino a la tierra a cumplir su promesa de salvación./***//

I discovered this powerful song on 89.3 KSBJ in Houston more than 10 years ago! They would always play one of Israel's songs at 5 o'clock, including this one to help make the drive home more uplifting and positive! For me, I was driving to school for my evening class and this song always kept me feeling great during the traffic filled 12 mile drive into town!

@julierobinson5180

I love this song because it just simply extols The Lord. The lyrics don’t focus on “me me me” the way many modern worship songs do. It is powerful praise that rises right to the throne room of heaven!!

@gloriaperez4236

Amen

@4evahis343

Amen. You are so right about that.

@alicek664

Omg they use to play this at my childhood church and this is very nostalgic for me 🥺💜

@a.lachone2690

Give thanks to the Lord; his faithful love endures forever!!!

@danielangeletti272

He is good he helped me out when I was down and picked me up and gave me light after multiple mental hospitalizations I realized that I have to worship god and I’m now well mentally
