  • Reflections: Realize

    I have come to realize that many in the family of faith are rebuking the enemy of their souls for sending Covid-19, while never considering if we have brought this upon ourselves or could it be a sign of judgment from God. Didn’t God send the plagues upon Egypt, or was it the enemy? Let’s get on our knees and instead of waving our prayerful shouts, why don’t we cry for forgiveness and mercy. #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Sounds of My Writings: Wounded Warrior

    There are warriors who spend their entire lives being prepared for battle and warding off every type of foreseen or unforeseen enemy. They are trained, and programmed in the art of war (warfare), that surrender is not an option. Even when peace is at the door, they prefer war! Sometimes these warriors were trained not with weapons, but with the struggles of life. They have become victims of abuse, racism, wounds, and loss. They have created their own battlefield, and their war zones are full of imaginary enemies. Even those who reach out to help become victims and prey to their pain. Guard yourself against Post Traumatic Spiritual Drama (PTSD), and learn to surrender in times of peace to God. He is the Prince of Peace! 2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Sounds of My Writings: The Only Answer

    There has always been in all of the history men, and women of God who stood the test of times. They were individuals who were considered the least among the social elites, and who faced great mockery from their adversaries. At times they were even martyred because of their flint-like opposition towards popular demand. These humble giants of the faith learned how to synchronize their ears with heaven because their hearts were conquered by a greater good. They were motivated by mercy, goodness, love, and the fear of God. I believe with all of my heart that many in the Bride of Christ are hearing from the Lord in this season. God is warning them, preparing them, and instructing them on what they should begin to do. These men and women are beginning to sense that this could very well be “the beginning of sorrows”. For whatever reason silence has gripped their lips, there is clearly a fearful undertone because of the fear of being called a heretic, a fear monger, or even a false prophet amongst their peers. So I will speak, and say as one who fears God in humility that the only answer to this pandemic is repentance and mercy. The Bride of Christ is the only one who can change the heart of God at this time, because of his covenant with her. How we respond to this test will determine what lies ahead. But, repentance and mercy must begin and be found in the house of the Lord first. Sooner or later we will wake up to this unfortunate reality... Daniel 9:9-14 9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; 10 we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. 11 All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you. “Therefore the curses and sworn judgments are written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us because we have sinned against you. 12 You have fulfilled the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great disaster. Under the whole heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem. 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth. 14 The Lord did not hesitate to bring the disaster on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Reflections: God Is Not Tickled

    God is not tickled, amazed nor moved by our temporary cry. He desires a people humbled, and changed. A people who earnestly seek him, and resemble his loving goodness (image and likeness). You and I can not think that this will pass so that we can return to business as usual. He knows our phony, and our resilient cry. He discerns the hearts and thoughts of people. It’s more than just Lord forgive us, it’s God we have our being because you are! Matthew 11:16-20 16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17 “We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.” 20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed because they did not repent. #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Sounds of My Writings: When Prayer Has No Words

    There are many times as Christians we are called to intercede for others. You have heard it said so many times in your life “I am praying for you” or “I had you in my prayers”. People who say that may use it at times as an excuse and others mean it sincerely. But, regardless of their intentions, the Bible does teach us that there are many ways to call upon the Name of the Lord. Some ask or petition, others pray, some intercede, and yet others groan and cry. These deep feelings of lamentation are alien to the human soul and are divine by nature. They are so profound that most of us feel like we have been to a funeral, and at other times it drops us to our knees or floor speechless. And, the only thing which we can say is expressed in tears! Romans 8:26-27 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Reflections: A Time Coming

    A time is coming, and in many cases, it has already come where each will have to call on the name of the Lord. Many have hidden silently behind the prayers, and services of others. Many have eaten spiritual food which has been regurgitated by speakers called preachers. But, this is a season of personal seeking and each who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved. Salvation is personal. I can’t save you, and you can’t save me. But, Christ can save all! Romans 10:11-13 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Quotes by Pastor Andy Fernandez

    "Take everything away from a man, and all he can offer you is what’s in his heart. It’s about to get real." Matthew 7:15-20 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits, you will know them. #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Sounds of My Writings: Your Shame Was Not In Vain

    If you grew up in a household where you experienced scarcity or had to wait in long lines to get your next meal - your shame was not in vain. If you had to share a bed, and boiling hot water to bath - your shame was not in vain. If you shared your clothing and socks with your brother or wore the same outfit while others had the next branded shoe - your shame was not in vain. If it seemed that you were the least among your neighbors, and purchased from the Church thrift shop - your shame was not in vain. All of these and many other inconveniences were preparing you to be a blessing at a time like this. Philippians 4:11-13 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Quotes by Pastor Andy Fernandez

    "When you, and I step out of our homes or gather at the foot of the altar. Or when we share on social media or meet at the workplace - let us be conscious and aware that God is present." #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Prophetic Dreams

    Context Back in January of 2020, I had been helping a pastor friend of mine Pastor Kenneth McClymont in advising, and helping him grow his ministry at Faith Chapel in Coral Springs. On one Sunday my wife and I decided that we would attend a service with Danny to help support him in what God had been doing in his ministry for the past 12 years. I could tell his enthusiasm and excitement that Sunday as he prepared to give his message to the congregants about “What would heaven look like” according to scripture. It was taken from the same message I had shared with all of you a couple of years ago when we met at Steve’s resting place in Boynton Beach when we went to share with Doris on Steve’s memorial. The scripture study was from Revelations Chapter 21. I always understood this scripture and can relate to it intellectually since I had preached it many times over the past 28 years. So I went home, and during the week I couldn’t stop reflecting on this scripture. By Tuesday – Wednesday of that week I was in a very deep state of sleep and had one of those dreams that you literally feel you can not get out of. I have also taught over the years on “dreams” and “visions” and how God uses them through various times in our lives to speak to us (which we can talk about later). So, I am aware when God is trying to catch my attention and in matters like this, I would always intentionally share them always with my wife and son so that they can be witnesses of what may happen or how we can pray for situations revealed in dreams. My dream That night as I was in a deep state of sleep I felt and heard something thump, and I awoke to find myself instantly on a hilltop in heaven. In the dream I was amazed about three things: 1) where was I? 2) how I looked 3) and the time it took to transition to heaven (what I mean is, it felt like I had literally died and gone to heaven at a blink of an eye.) It was quick, no pain, and instantaneous just like the bible teaches. This perhaps is what one experiences when transitioning from earth to heaven in their new eternal home. I could see absolute beauty, the colors were radiant and the sky had an orange, yellow almost golden glow to it as one looks upon the beauty of a sunset. I notice that these colors are permanent and there wasn’t any day nor night. The birds were flying, there was a peaceful calm and stillness all over as I looked from east to west. I also felt an eeriness because I noticed that even though things moved there was NO WIND and NO SOUND. It was so peaceful that there was an absolute absence of noise. As I stood there I could see approximately 8 to 10 people around me from right to left “socially distant” who I know – I knew. But, I could not make out either their figures or voices because they were transformed. The only solidarity I had was that we had lived life experiences together, and had crossed the road in our lives. But, I could not make out either their faces, their appearance, or their voices. The harder I tried to remember them the more difficult I struggle with remembering how I knew them. It was though I would drift into infinite amnesia about these individuals the harder I tried. As we were all amazed that we had reached heaven, we stared at each other knowing that the only thing we had in common was that we shared experiences together, with no ability to remember what those experiences were. As we smiled and had the assurance of our gathering I noticed that the 8 to 10 people were waiting on instructions on what’s next? At that time, I saw forming & appearing in the golden orangey clouds, a city with its silhouette. It looked like a big city perhaps similar to an image of NYC (but it wasn’t) but with radiant beauty. Mom and Tony still have an old clock that was brought from our days in NY that sits in their living room. It looked like that with golden, orange, and yellowish colors glowing in the sky. At that moment, I told the group that was present “look, look we must go to Jerusalem that is where we have to go!” And I remember someone asking “how do you know that is Jerusalem?” and my response was “come on guys it’s just like the Bible said, that is our next journey!” Things now get interesting As I motioned to the group that was with me, that we should go to this city in the sky called Jerusalem – instantly everything froze. It seemed as though everyone was frozen in time except for me. I began to hear the sound and cries of many people behind me. I recognized with intense grief the voices of many family members, friends, and many others who were screaming saying “please, what is happening, why am I on this line”. My heart knew there was nothing I could do to change the circumstances, but that I was given an opportunity to recognize them, hear them, and see what was happening to them. At that time, as I turned behind me an open portal made up of a cloud and circular in nature opened behind me and I was able to transition to only see, hear and recognize everything that was happening on earth. I noticed that as I stepped through this cloudy portal a giant man-goat was standing laughing at me. He stood around 8-9 feet tall. I will attempt to describe him specifically: His feet were that of a goat His calf that of a man His thighs that of a goat His waist that of a man His stomach and chest that of a man His neck that of a man His head and face that of a goat His horns that of a goat He continued to laugh as he had other individuals laying people down on a surgical bed pulling out people's teeth, and replacing them with goats teeth. Every person who would be laid down was forcefully ordered and helplessly tied to this bed. The line was endless, as far as the eyes can see, and I had recognized many people on that line. But, I had no power to change any of the circumstances that were already transpiring. I know for sure there were two individuals that stood out more than any other that were in our immediate family. And, when I mean immediate I am talking about one of the seven of us. It was the least of who I would have ever imagined. I heard my sister and her husband saying “we did so much good babe, we served, we helped, we opened our doors to so many people, we were genuine in all we did, why are we here?” And, her husband was as confused as she was but there was nothing I could do. It was truly everything she was saying, and I was baffled as to why in the world she on this line? Instantly, I began to again experience amnesia, and the more I grieved and thought about all those people I began to experience a sense of forgetfulness. I knew my time was up and I needed to return to those who were waiting for me, and so I did. I walked again through the cloudy portal and there they were waiting for me as though time had never lapsed, and the door closed behind me. I did look back a couple of times but the excitement of those waiting for me to go to this city in the sky was just too overwhelming. A young man came up to me from the group and said “before we go I need to do something”, and he threw a fist full of what seemed to be coins in the air. As they were twisting and turning in slow motion I could tell as I looked closer that they were “beer tops” and “coins” turning. It was clear that as these metals were twisting in the air that we had gained victory over their influence and so I preceded to kick them as they were landing. After kicking them, I motioned now it is time to go to Jerusalem. This was my dream. Revelations 2:1-8 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty, I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” #propheticdream #andyfernandez #iamministries

  • Sounds of My Writings: Social Distancing

    Over 2000 years ago Jesus had a personal conversation with one woman who was “socially distant”, and who was on her way to pulling some water from a well. Her only hope of refreshing herself, and perhaps her loved ones was to gather this precious commodity that is scarcely found in the midst of a desert. Jesus pursues to have a conversation with her knowing sovereignly her entire life story and situation. And, offers her forgiveness, refreshing, and revelation. She would have never known she was speaking just a few steps away with the Son of God and the Messiah. And this is what he said... John 4:19-26 19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” 25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries
