USTED ES VICTORIOSO CON JESÚS

Leon FontaineEntregate

Porque todo el que es hijo de Dios vence al mundo. Y nuestra fe nos ha dado la victoria sobre el mundo. 1 Juan 5:4 (DHH)  Según 1 Juan 5:4, no solo algunas personas sino TODAS las personas nacidas de Dios triunfan. Usted puedes lograr la victoria a través de Jesús sobre absolutamente cualquier cosa.  Si usted le da su vida a Jesús, nacerá de Dios. Usted entra en una vida completamente nueva, es adoptado en la familia de Dios y se vuelve espiritualmente nuevo.  Como resultado, usted tiene el poder que necesita para superar cualquier cosa que se le presente. 1 Corintios 15:57 también expresa esta victoria diciendo: ¡Pero gracias a Dios, que nos da la victoria por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo! (DHH). …

HOW’S YOUR INNER WORLD?

The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?  Proverbs 18:14 (AMPC)  Have you ever heard, “It’s what’s on the inside that counts”? That saying holds more truth than most people realize! It really hit home for me when I became an adult. Raised by parents who were pastors, I saw miracles happen regularly. Years later, I began working on the streets as a paramedic.  As I attended to accident scenes and helped victims of abuse, it shocked me into recognizing how much our world lacks peace. People desperately need the love and power of Jesus to heal hearts, minds and physical bodies.   I also realized that the less we …

BLOOMING WHERE YOU’RE PLANTED

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. Psalm 92:13 (NKJV)  Why do palm trees grow beautifully in Hawaii but wither in Canada? It’s because they thrive in a particular atmosphere, and believers are the same way.   To mature and grow strong spiritually, we need to put down roots in the nourishing environment of a life-giving church.   Psalm 1:3 (AMP) says people who tap into a robust and visionary church are like trees “firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water.” Their hearts and minds get fed, their marriages and families thrive and friendships blossom because they’re established in healthy soil. That’s why today’s verse says those who are planted in God’s house flourish.   Now, the …

APRENDA DEL MEJOR: JESÚS

Leon FontaineEntregate

Pues la Escritura dice: «¿Quién conoce la mente del Señor? ¿Quién podrá instruirle?» Sin embargo, nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo. 1 Corintios 2:16 (DHH)  De acuerdo a 1 Corintios 2:16, ¡usted puede tener la mente de Cristo! En la vida, usted puede llegar a ser más y más como Él. Jesús era emocionalmente atractivo. Atraía multitudes dondequiera que iba. Hizo que los marginados se sintieran amados y aceptados, sonriéndoles y animándolos a tomar mejores decisiones. Ellos se sentían atraídos por la paz, la alegría y el amor incondicional que Él irradiaba. Él hizo que las personas se sintieran iguales a Él; No era condescendiente. Nosotros podemos ser emocionalmente atractivos como Jesús.  Ponga la Palabra de Dios en su mente y corazón. Cuando usted lee …

AM I TALKING TO MYSELF?

Leon FontaineDevoted

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.  Psalm 103:2 (ESV)  When it comes to growing up into a mature believer, a big part is getting your mind to submit to what God says. So here’s what I do: I talk to my mind.   Throughout the psalms, David talked to his mind constantly. Through singing and praying, he made his mind submit to God. In fact, David is one of the few men I can find in the Word who even knew how to encourage himself in the Lord. (See 1 Samuel 30:1–6.) In today’s verse, David told himself to remember God’s benefits, and in Psalm 42:11, he reminded his heart by speaking to it to hope in God.  There are times …
