But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:11 (NKJV) As we’ve been discussing over the past few days, when you give your life to Christ, Holy Spirit comes to live inside you. You have the nature of God in your spirit man. That new nature you have is untouchable; it’s not something you can lose by doing wrong or failing to do right. You’re a new creation. Because of this nature change, you have all things that pertain to life and godliness in you (2 Peter 1:3). You just need to know how to …
Reignited Hope
He decided to make known to them His blessing to the nations; the glorious riches of this mystery is the indwelling of the Anointed in you! The very hope of glory. Colossians 1:27 (VOICE) Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (NKJV). If you’ve lost hope that things will ever change, hope has been deferred. In other words, if your heart no longer believes change is possible, that’s a problem because without belief you can’t see the miraculous happen. Jesus, the great miracle-worker, said, “If you can believe, all things are possible” (Mark 9:23), if you don’t doubt in your heart (Mark 11:23). You need to reignite hope in your heart to …
Esperanza Reactivada
A éstos Dios se propuso dar a conocer cuál es la gloriosa riqueza de este misterio entre las naciones, que es Cristo en ustedes, la esperanza de gloria. Colosenses 1:27 (VOICE) Proverbios 13:12 dice: “La esperanza frustrada es tormento para el corazón, pero el deseo cumplido, es un árbol de vida” (NKJV). Si usted ha perdido la esperanza de que las cosas van a cambiar, la esperanza ha sido pospuesta. En otras palabras, si su corazón ya no cree que el cambio es posible, eso es un problema porque sin la creencia es difícil ver que los milagros suceden. Jesús, el gran hacedor de milagros, dijo: “Si puedes creer, todas las cosas son posibles” (Marcos 9:23), si no dudas en tu corazón (Marcos 11:23). Es …
Two Natures?
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 (NKJV) Do you ever feel like two natures are at war inside you? Although it might feel that way at times, it’s not true. Let’s pretend I own a company and I sell it to you. You’re the new owner and you have a few ideas about how to make the company better. On your first day, you walk into the building with a whole new plan. You’re the owner so you have the authority to initiate that change. But do you know what your first job will be? It’ll be …
