Embracing Change

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland” Isaiah 43:19

Change is one of the most difficult things for people to face; however, change is inevitable. In fact, Mark Twain once said, “The only person who likes change is a wet baby.” One reason people don’t like change is because they get comfortable with where they are in life. They get used to their friends, job or the place they live. And even if it’s not perfect, they accept it simply because it’s familiar. However, when we are not willing to change, we get stuck in life holding on to what God did in the past instead of growing and moving forward into what God wants to do in the future.

I encourage you to be open to the new things God has in store for you. Always remember that just because God has blessed you where you are doesn’t mean you can just sit back and settle there. God wants to do something new in you and through you. He wants to see you grow, prosper and flourish. Get ready and keep your heart focused on Him. Embrace change and see the blessing God has in store for you!

24 Hours full of Worship&Prayer

This weekend, has a beginning really different ...... star with a time of 24 hours of worship and intercession complete here in Ywam San Jose.

We often think of having time with God ... without actually being intentional ... " something like this: God I love you, thanks ......... well remember this prayer request that I told you....... in your name amen"!

This is our time with the creator of the universe .... Almighty God ... we do not even allowed him to speak ... There is so much in his heart he wants to show us and .. speak ... and reveal ... to each of us...

It's amazing how to just give up your time ... to spend time with God ... and hear, feel .. express .... what is it that is in our heart... I"m so gratefull with my Father for the Encounter of this weekend... The same is true for the love of God. The love of God can touch your human need for love more fully than you may now realize. In order to more fully enjoy and be feed by the love of God it helps greatly to thrill your heart with the closeness of His love in his presence.

Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security...

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Revelation 4:11

.

Allow God to reveal and display the treasures that He has for you! but it takes a desicion in your heart to seek him with all your mind, heart, body and soul.... !!!! His desire for you is to show his amazing love today!!! Enjoy His presence..... He is real!! He is our father.... He is a Personal God!!

Pura Vida,
Rossela

24 Hours full of Worship&Pra

relational vrs Individual ?

We are relational beings or individual beings? is very easy to find the answer on what the world tells us today ....... . Society says we are individual beings ... "I" I need .... what makes me feel good ... BUT!

God calls us to grow and develop healthy relationships THROUGH Him and Him..
In our week# 7 ,of the DTS in YWAM San Jose .... Our students are learning biblical principles vrs the reality of our society ... to come in agreement to the heart of God ... the wonderful truth that He created us with the ability to relate .. We are relational beings ..

Here are some thoughts:

1. One problem in the world is that Relatioships are not value. Relationships ARE possible (john 13)
2. Choosing highest and best, means doing what is loving for the other person.
3. Feelings are not love. Love is choosing what is best.

"Love isn't a feeling, because I'd be in love with the Dodge Viper"

3.Understanding Value

It can't just be "I feel" love. It has to be loving.
If I only love you in word, and not in deed and truth, I am not really loving you.
We have to get back to "integrated thinking"
You don't love the Lord, if you don't honour Him.
We can't live in community like we live individually.
Relationships are absolutely necessary.

4.Relationships Are Possible

Because Jesus came for no other reason than to restore relationships
As a religion, Christianity stinks. All we have is a man who came to life, died on a cross, rose again, and went to heaven.
Not a matter of self-discipline
Jesus suffered to make it possible.
Eph 2; Ps. 103
God brought us closer to him through the cross, which makes a relationship with Him possible.
What WAS removing me from God is gone! Jesus took it away from me.

" I am the righteousness of God". 2Corinthians

5.DON'T TELL ME IT'S TOO COMPLICATED!!!

Love God / Love your neighbour as yourself/ Everyone thinks that love is the answer. And that is all that Christianity is! If you have a hard time serving God, it's because you haven't seen Him. Why do we share a commandment: I equal you, you equal me! God is the model, and we learn from that.

SO..... yeah!

I am a witness to this .... God is the priority in my life .. Through the years .. has restored my relationship with Him so that I can be ready to share that love with my neighbor .... and not only but has come to complete a season in my life ... to prepare for marriage ... yes it is ... a big word .... But as a PLUS in my update ..... Tony last week .... my fiance , asked me the big question ... .. and I said yes .. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I'm Engaged!!!

I hope with all my heart that you can be motivated today .... to walk into a life filled with good and wonderful God-honoring relationships.

Much love,

Rosse

Sense Freedom

When you depend totally on God, it is amazing how much freedom you will find...

Freedom is what God has planted in the heart of each of the students of the Disciple Training School 2011 at the base in San Jose, Costa Rica. In our week #6 , God has revealed so much truth to their lives .... has brought light into their hearts and minds .... where they have taken steps of faith ... and have transformed the image of God ....




A group of 19 young, hungry to go deeper with God .! 8 nations represented .... a incredible cultural richness ... Malasysia .. USA .. Canada ... Costa Rica .. Germany .... Mexico ... Salvador .. . Dominican Republic ... all with one common denominator .... desire to know God and make Him known





Inside of me... is a grateful heart .... to see this generation ... saying YES ...into God's purposes .. A blessing that feeds my heart ... of love ... for these group of students.
... I testify of the faithfulness of God in this time ... of giving me the wonderful opportunity of mentoring each of the students lifes ... with an incredible staff team passionate for God.





God is definitely multiplying the wave of young people being equipped to go to the nations .. and declaring the name of Jesus .... here in YWAM San Jose, where the vision of God is being completed .... new dreams ... New Impossible "Possible" in God ... what a exciting!!!!!

~What God gives, he calls blessing. Why He gives, it's called PURPOSE. There's purpose tied to every blessing.


Thanks to each one of you who are part of the wonderful work ... that God is doing in Costa Rica!!

May God Bless you!!

Much Love,
Rossela Dodero

Yo tengo Gozo Gozo Gozo.. en mi corazon!!!

“You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand” Psalm 16:11 God promises that joy is found in His presence. If you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then His presence lives inside of you! Joy will manifest when you focus your mind and heart on the Father and begin to praise Him for what He’s done in your life. The Bible says that He inhabits the praises of His people. When you praise and thank Him, you are in His presence where there is fullness of joy! It doesn’t matter where you are or what’s going on around you, you can access the joy that’s inside of you anytime, day or night. And know this: God wants you to experience His supernatural joy and peace at all times. That’s why He chose to live inside of you and give you an endless supply. Don’t waste another minute feeling overburdened and discouraged. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength and move forward in the victory He’s prepared for you!

Passions+Talents+Desires+Hungerfor God = Summer of service in Costa Rica

Meditanding in the faithfullnes of God....I just realize how bless we are, that we can come to him trusting in all our heart that He is.... our Father, beloved, friend, counselor.... peace.. confort...no matter how you're ... he welcome us with arms of love.

This couples months, I've been working with short mission team in our base. One of them was the SUMMER OF SERVICE from YWAM Montana. A whole month full passion, youthfulness, hope, love and fun.

We had such a differents ministry's but one same purpuse... wring hope and love for people from my country: Costa Rica. High Schools, Hospitals, Park's, street ministry,schools, Kids, evangelism,soccer, dance,music, concerts...... we also went to one's of the dump here in San Jose, spend whole week, working with youth, girls and younger mothers.

''And whatever you do,in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord'' Col 3:17

Ofthen times we see ourselves, and think? I will be doing something for good? that bring influence? will be worth? what if......... I dont think that is enough..... I'd rather not do that....

You know what? GOD IS BIG ENOUGH, do to all things... trough us or without us... during this time with this Montana Team, God gave me so much revelations about that.... Who we are to says nop!!! I can't whenyou know that you want to.... :)

May God fullfill his work in your life!!!!!!!!

"I am sure of this... that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ"

Pura vida!!!!!!!! Rosse :)

Let the Encouragement Flow..

Let the
Encouragement Flow

“Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up”

Proverbs 12:25

When you see someone who is struggling, a co-worker who is discouraged, a friend who is not up to par, how do you respond? Our words can be what keeps a person going; our compliments can put a spring back into their step. Now more than ever, we need to automatically let the encouragement flow. We need to tell others how much we love them, how we value them, and tell them that they are talented and creative. Always remember, with your words you carry life-giving water. You carry hope, healing, encouragement and new beginnings, and you can pour it out everywhere you go.

Its so easy to get in this kinda bubble and forget about the rest of the people around us... we forget that you and me are the body of christ,..... I choose to speak encouragement. I Choose to speak victory and faith. Instead of telling people what they’re doing wrong, instead of pointing out all their faults, find what they are doing right. Focus on the good. There are already enough critical, judgmental people in the world. Let’s be people who lift up others and restore them. Let’s be the light of Jesus in the world.

May God strengthen you today!! Does matter where you are.... what situation you are going into.... He is good!!!! all the time...

Pura vida, today and always...!!!

“...Run in such a way as to get the prize”
1 Corinthians 9:24

Oftentimes, when we have a dream in our heart, we start off strong. We head down the path toward our goal, and we’re so excited!But along the way, we hit some roadblocks and encounter some adversity. Many times, people will just give up and take the easy way out. But we have to remember, it’s not how we start that counts; it’s how we finish. Anybody can be fired up at the beginning, but I’m encouraging you to stick with it until the end! Have the determination to go all the way through. Don’t stop at the halfway mark just because times are tough. Don’t quit because you don’t see anything happening. The scripture tells us not to walk by sight, but to walk by faith.

Maybe, there’s a dream in your heart, something you’re believing for — a relationship to turn around, a business opportunity or to overcome an addiction — keep pursuing it! Run your race to win the prize! Don’t settle until you see the fullness of what God has placed in your heart. As you stand strong in your faith, I believe God will pour out His favor and blessing upon you, and you will see the victory He has in store for you!

I so grateful with God ... for the way that He speak to my life... is not easy sometimes.. But He still longs for me....

During this time I'm praying for God direction for the rest of this year.... I want to do God's will, not my will.... I don''t wanna run in a way that get lost in the way....... Father I ask you for your guidence.....

Pura vida. and love for you today!!!!!!

You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land....

Your threshing season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land”

Leviticus 26:5

I believe we are living in a day and age when God is accelerating His work in our lives! I believe that what used to take days, weeks and even years in times past, God will do in an instant in this day and age. In an instant, you can receive your bre
akthrough. In an instant, you can be promoted on your job. In an instant, you can receive your healing. In an instant, your relationship can be restored. In an instant, that child can change their ways.

Today, believe that God will take you further than you ever thought possible, faster than you ever thought possible. Trust that your times are in His hands. Know that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Just like in the days of old, God will accelerate your seasons, and He will thrust you into the blessing and victory He has prepared for you!!!!!!

I so grateful with God!!!! for he done in my life, for the family that he gave me, the calling that is put in to my path , For YWAM COSTA RICA!!! ( youth with a mission), for all the good and not to good times and situations... coz i know all work for my good, becuase God is working!!!

This past week, i had the blessing to work with a amazing group of people fro CANADA, with the samaritan's purse. Such a blessing time, almost 300 or more kids recive God love, and o shoebox :) but more of that is HOPE for they generation. I feel so honor to work and do this kind of ministry. God bless you all!!!!

Cuando Dios Habla.... When God speak,,,

Nosotros escuchamos.... Obedecemos y talvez entendemos....!!!!

We listen .... Obey and and maybe understand ....!!!!

Dear Friend! !! is a truth which sometimes seems unreal ...!! If God longs for day to day comunicate with his children ... many want to listen to God and we are not ready, or in a right position in our heart to feel that he can talk to us! But let me share with you this:

"My sheep listen to my voice, I know Them and They Follow me." (John 10:27)

God speaks to us every moment, every day, in every situation ... regardless of size, climate, mood, color ... God wants to communicate with his children ...!!! He has given us the ability to listen ... YES!! You can listen as well as feel the wind ... do not see it ... but you can feel it confident right? Need to be willing to obey, just as he speaks ... but not as a conditioned response ... Oh God if you give me .this .. I give to you that!!! God is not a dealer ..! He gives you because he loves you, he talks to you .... because he loves you, and the same response should be ours ... do not understand ... maybe ... without complaining ... just a act of love !!obey ....!!!
An obedient heart pleasing our Father!

Many times we struggle with ourselves ... because we know God has told us something which we perhaps expected to hear .... and also want to ask why? and for what? ... everything God does is beautiful in his time!

"Your ways and thoughts are higher" Isaiah 55: 8 -10

Thanks God for the ability that you gives us! to listen, you respond to your great love! !!!


Germany!!! is in my heart! some last photos of the ministries during our time in this beautiful nation!!!!!

Dear Friend, God can make you seem bigger than you really are. He can make you look more powerful. He knows how to multiply your influence, your strength, your talent and your income. You don’t have to figure it all out; all you have to do is put your trust in Him. If you will release your faith for a supernatural year and wake up every day expecting God’s far and beyond favor, then you’re going to see God show up and make the difference in every area of your life!!!!It's so amazing, when God allows us to dream, but even more when we dream big! MILESTONE, which means - a rock, set aside the way that shows the distance traveled, and as a starting point to your destination. A milestone is a significant event in your life.

Germany, was this for my life, ore than a journey, outreach, where we serve the needy and show love, was a starting point ... for what is coming! in my life where I can see where the Lord has brought me to where taking me to able to say as the apostle Paul say, in his letter to the Philippians 3:12 -14 God wants us to believe with all our being, we have an eternal perspective in the midst of so much suffering, lack of love, dedication and commitment to, and around us ...


Testimony

-- Berlin: Hanseinde Park, located east of the city, a place known for selling drugs (drug traffickers), prostitution, and corruption.
At the entrance of this park is a Buddhist temple, a mulsum temple also. We visited this place with a German missionary, several times, knew that God had sent us .... this missionary was waiting on God for a answer to enter and declare this territory for the work of the Lord, we had prayer walks, share coffee and chocolate, with drug dealers, and customers:) was so powerful and evidence the presence of God and his angels. This place is spiritually and physically territorial gangs of blacks and Turks gruops of people .... God uses His people, and prayers are powerful ... 2 of the men accepted the Lord, and let us pray in this place for them, and our friend Michael Slim (in the picture), started a church outside in the park once a month .. Glory to God for that!!

Maybe seems sometime small, give away coffe, show love, but the biggest thing here, is that, our God is powerfull, our prayers our powerfull, we dont need to figure it out, He is in charge.... I'm so grateful with God for this testimony, becuase prove that he want to use us, everytime for his glory!!!!
