The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Psalm 34:19 (NIV) Too many people just trust in their own strength to change. They want to deal with bad habits, or want to accomplish something with their life, so they set out in their own strength to do and be what God has called them to. When they struggle and it becomes hard, those dreams slowly begin to die on the inside. Eventually, they stop dreaming entirely. They stop expecting a good outcome because they’ve tried and failed before. Instead, they stay stuck in a rut, just going through the motions of daily life. The best they hope for is a few little minutes of fun or distraction on …
Descanse En Paz
Ustedes son de Dios, pequeños hijos, y los habéis vencido, porque el que está en vosotros es mayor que el que está en el mundo. 1 Juan 4: 4 (NKJV) En el último par de días hemos estado hablando de lo importante que es saber que usted es una nueva creación. Es una clave para tener fe y caminar en su autoridad en Cristo. Es necesario recordar todos los días que usted es un niño en la familia de Dios.

You’re a son or daughter of the King and you’re destined to do awesome things for God! Believe in who God says you are. Only then will your faith kick into gear because faith works by love. Faith does not work by fear; it doesn’t work by a …
Believe That You Can
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. Galatians 6:15 (NKJV) To walk in the authority you have in Christ, you need to realize that you are a new creation! Believers often look at their struggles the wrong way. If they have trouble being patient, they think, “I’m always so impatient! I need to change.” While that sounds right, it’s actually the wrong way to think. Focusing on the fact that you’re not patient just brings more doubt. You become very problem- and sin-conscious. As a result, the changes you make are only external. Because these changes are initiated by negative pressure, you don’t access God’s power. You begin to look down on yourself because you are trying to …
