And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?  Esther 4:14 (AMPC)  We often think that God must work only in mind-blowing ways. But when I study the Bible, I frequently find the opposite. Over and over, we see that God is closely involved in people’s everyday lives. Certainly, He can choose to show up in a spectacular fashion. I’ve witnessed countless miraculous healings and unexplainable circumstances. But the supernatural also unfolds in the everyday.  Look at the story of Esther. After the queen fell out of favour with the ruling king, he ended up falling for and choosing Esther, unaware that his new queen was Jewish.  Meanwhile, Haman, an evil kingdom official, …

LOS MILAGROS SUCEDEN CUANDO SU CORAZÓN ESTÁ DE ACUERDO

Hijo mío, presta atención a mis palabras, inclina tu oído a mis razones; que no se aparten de tus ojos, guárdalas en medio de tu corazón. Porque son vida para los que las hallan, y salud para todo su cuerpo. Proverbios 4:20-22 (LBLA)  Cuando las cosas parecen fluirle sin esfuerzo en un área determinada, usted puede estar seguro de que su corazón tiene creencias positivas con respecto a esa área de su vida.  Por ejemplo, si usted está sano y siempre ha cuidado bien su cuerpo, es probable que su corazón tenga grandes creencias sobre la salud. Por otro lado, si usted tiene dificultades constantemente en un área, es hora de dar un vistazo a lo que usted cree. Si le cuesta construir relaciones sólidas, …

CAN YOU SEE GOD’S FINGERPRINTS?

He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.  Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT)  I’m blown away by how God achieves His purposes through us. In the moment, we often don’t recognize God at work in our jobs, circumstances and relationships.  Take my life, for example. Raised in a wonderful pastor’s home, I witnessed God perform miracles at an early age. Later on, I began working at a steel mill where I found it a shocking adjustment to work alongside tough, secular co-workers. From there, I moved into emergency medicine, where my years as a paramedic taught me to lead others while coping with screaming, blood, trauma and death.  The gritty steel mill …

PRODUCIR MILAGROS CONSISTENTEMENTE

Leon FontaineEntregate

Dios, por su poder, nos ha concedido todo lo que necesitamos para la vida y la devoción, al hacernos conocer a aquel que nos llamó por su propia grandeza y sus obras maravillosas. 2 Pedro 1:3 (DHH)  Cuando usted enfrenta algún problema en la vida, ya sea en su salud, finanzas, matrimonio, relaciones, emociones o autoestima, ¿espera que Dios haga algo al respecto?  A muchas personas se les ha enseñado simplemente a orar y luego esperar a ver si Dios hace algo. Me gustaría proponer un enfoque diferente. Usted puede entender la Palabra y construir consistentemente su vida en varias áreas.  De acuerdo con 2 Pedro 1:3, Dios nos ha dado libremente todas las cosas que necesitamos para la vida. Este versículo también dice: Hemos …

EVIL CAN’T OUTSMART GOD

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.  Romans 8:28 (NLT)  Don’t underestimate God’s phenomenal ability to create something good out of what’s intended for evil.  Maybe you’re thinking, “Well, someone abused me as a kid. How is that for my good?” Listen, regardless of what happened, God can pull beauty from ashes in a masterful way. Don’t look at your past and just see the heartache and pain. Look back and see God at work. Look ahead and claim this promise over today and your future!  Take the story of Joseph in Genesis chapters 37 to 50, for example. Because Joseph’s jealous brothers sold him to …
