TRAINING YOUR HEART (PART 1)

Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.” Matthew 21:21 (NLT) As believers, you and I have an unfair advantage over the rest of the world. What is it? It’s the ability to exercise the power of God.  In Matthew 21, Jesus came across a fig tree that had no figs to offer. He cursed it to never bear fruit again—and the tree withered up. The disciples were shocked, but Jesus told them if they had faith, they could do even more than that. They could speak to a …

CREE SU MAYOR IMPACTO

Ama al Señor con ternura, y él cumplirá tus deseos más profundos. Salmo 37:4 (DHH)  Algunos se criaron con la creencia de que para servir a Dios, se debe sufrir continuamente por él. Se les enseñó que para ser un verdadero cristiano se debe aceptar la pobreza, la enfermedad y las terribles condiciones de trabajo como la suerte que le tocó tener en la vida. No estoy golpeando a los que se sacrifican por Jesús en absoluto. A menudo, estamos llamados a meternos en líos que nos hacen renunciar a nuestra comodidad, pero al tener la mentalidad de que Dios quiere que seamos infelices todo el tiempo, nunca podremos tener un sueño emocionante.  Usted no es más santo si es miserable. El Salmo 37:4 dice …

DON’T WAIT TO GROW

So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Hebrews 6:1 (NLT) Are you waiting around for God to move?  In the Old Testament, God’s people had to wait for Him to show up. Take Elijah for instance. He saw seven miracles happen in his lifetime. His successor, Elisha, saw fourteen. Nowadays, I know believers who’ve seen more than fourteen miracles in a single calendar year!  Under the new covenant, we are no longer waiting for God to act. He has already moved by sending Jesus to die for us. Now as a born-again believer, you are already healed. Provision is already yours. You have already been qualified for …

ACTIVATE YOUR RECREATED SPIRIT

Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP) There is something prepared for the believer that many of us have not activated. It has to do with your recreated spirit.  Now, the human spirit inside you doesn’t know everything—but God’s Spirit does. When you are born again, Holy Spirit comes into your spirit. And as you meditate on the Word and renew your mind, you discover the ability of God that’s been given to you.  …

SU MEJOR CAMINO

Pues es Dios quien nos ha hecho; él nos ha creado en Cristo Jesús para que hagamos buenas obras, siguiendo el camino que él nos había preparado de antemano. Efesios 2:10 (DHH)   Hay dos palabras usadas para describir el futuro. “Azar” describe los eventos predichos que sucederán, le guste o no; se refiere a su suerte en la vida. “Destino” significa el plan de Dios para una vida mejor. Aunque está planificado de antemano, usted puede elegir seguir su destino o desviarse de él.  La Biblia no nos enseña sobre el azar. Piénselo. Si no tuviéramos influencia sobre ninguno de los eventos de nuestras vidas, ¿por qué Dios nos daría instrucciones sobre cómo prosperar y vivir una gran vida? Si nuestras vidas estuvieran predeterminadas, esas …
