A NEW WAY OF LIFE

Leon FontaineDevoted

“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” John 14:13 (NKJV) At the cross, Jesus made a new way of life available. Let’s look at three more of the exchanges that took place. Jesus took your name so you can use His name.Why did Jesus call Himself the Son of Man instead of the Son of God? It’s because God originally gave authority to the human race. One man, Adam, gave it up—and it took another man, Jesus, to reclaim it. Now as believers, we can use the authority behind the name of Jesus when we pray (John 16:24). You can speak to mountains and see the power of God flow in your …

TRATAR CON LA DISTRACCIÓN EN LA MEDITACIÓN

Leon FontaineEntregate

Cristo no cometió pecado alguno; pero por causa nuestra, Dios lo hizo pecado, para hacernos a nosotros justicia de Dios en Cristo. 2 Corintios 5:21 (DHH) ¿Alguna vez se ha distraído al tratar de pasar tiempo con Dios? Durante mi tiempo con Dios, solía encontrar que de repente mi mente saltaba a todas las cosas que tenía que hacer. A menudo eran cosas realmente importantes, por lo que era muy tentador simplemente levantarme y hacerlas de inmediato. Ahora, en lugar de levantarme o tratar de alejar esos pensamientos, me aseguro de tener una libreta y un bolígrafo a mi lado. Tan pronto como un elemento de la lista de “cosas por hacer” aparece en mi cabeza, simplemente lo anoto y luego vuelvo a mi meditación. …

QUÉ PASA CUANDO NO NOS TRANQUILIZAMOS

Leon FontaineEntregate

En aquel momento pasó el Señor, y un viento fuerte y poderoso desgajó la montaña y partió las rocas ante el Señor…pero el Señor tampoco estaba en el terremoto…pero el Señor no estaba en el fuego. Pero después del fuego se oyó un sonido suave y delicado. 1 Reyes 19:11-12 (DHH) Encontrar la quietud hoy no es algo natural. Vivimos en un mundo que siempre está conectado y nunca está quieto. Tenemos que crear intencionalmente un tiempo de quietud donde dejemos de lado las preocupaciones del día y nos volvamos hacia la Palabra, meditando sobre la plenitud del amor, la gracia y la provisión de Dios. Luego esperemos en ese lugar quieto y silencioso y pidamos al Espíritu Santo que nos revele al Padre. Es …

THE GREATEST MIRACLE

Leon FontaineDevoted

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) We’ve begun a series on the Great Exchange: what happened when Jesus died and rose again. Today I want to show you the first two exchanges that took place. Jesus took your sin and gave you His righteousness. Jesus lived a perfect life, yet at the cross He became sin on your behalf. In exchange, you get His righteousness as a gift. As a believer, you have perfect standing with God. You can know Him personally, access an inheritance of blessing and walk free of guilt. Jesus took your sin nature and gave you His divine nature. Many believers say, …

THE EMPTY TOMB

Leon FontaineDevoted

“…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 (NKJV) Over the years as a pastor, I’ve noticed a widespread discontent in North American churches. Many believers have settled for “life support Christianity” instead of developing a thriving faith. They may have fire insurance for eternity, but they struggle to see much of a difference in their life here on Earth. What’s missing? Today’s verse points to something crucial: the empty tomb. You see, when it comes to the story of Easter, many of us focus on the cross where Jesus died. We forget that His resurrection is equally important. Romans 10:9 says we must believe in our …
