SHARING THE MIND OF THE KING

Leon FontaineDevoted

For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].  1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMP)  Let me ask you a question: was Christ good at outwitting the enemy? Yes, He was. And today’s verse says that as born-again believers, we can have Jesus’ mind and be guided by His thoughts.  That’s an incredible gift because we have an enemy constantly trying to deceive, confuse and prevent us from following the paths God has prepared for us.  It brings to mind one lady who started coming to our church years ago. She had a phenomenal testimony and bubbled over with joy for Jesus. Then one day, someone …

EL AMOR TIRA EL MIEDO A LA BANQUETA

Leon FontaineEntregate

En esto se perfecciona el amor en nosotros, para que tengamos confianza en el día del juicio, pues como Él es, así somos también nosotros en este mundo. En el amor no hay temor, sino que el perfecto amor echa fuera el temor, porque el temor involucra[a] castigo, y el que teme no es hecho perfecto en el amor. 1 John 4:17–18 (LBLA)  Todos tenemos una imagen del futuro, nos demos cuenta o no. Si usted se preocupa por el futuro, el amor puede pintar una imagen hermosa sobre una vieja y aterradora. El Espíritu Santo ama guiarlo a la verdad del amor de Dios, ayudándole a encontrar promesas que hablan lo contrario de lo que usted está enfrentando.  Si usted está preocupado por su …

THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK

…Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.  Romans 12:2 (NLT)  Believing a lie can cause incredible damage. Once you fall for one, you’ll begin to make incorrect decisions and head in the wrong direction.  Satan is well aware of this, of course. We know because it’s the same tactic he used on Eve in the Garden of Eden. And he continues to use this approach against us today.  For example, if he wants to bring strife or division to your marriage, he won’t necessarily attack it outright. He might just keep throwing the same lie repeatedly at your mind for months to see if …

EL MIEDO ES SIMPLEMENTE MEDITACIÓN NEGATIVA

Leon FontaineEntregate

Donde hay amor no hay miedo. Al contrario, el amor perfecto echa fuera el miedo, pues el miedo supone el castigo. Por eso, si alguien tiene miedo, es que no ha llegado a amar perfectamente. 1 Juan 4:18 (DHH)  Cuando se trata de miedo, este es solo meditación negativa. Es simplemente el resultado de tener una imagen negativa en su corazón.  Cuando usted continuamente imagina cosas, que usted no quiere que ocurran, todas las emociones involucradas con esa imagen, siguen su curso a través de usted. Según 1 de Juan 4:18, estas emociones le traen tormento. Sin embargo, el miedo solo puede atormentarlo si usted mantiene esa imagen llena de miedo.  Por ejemplo, si usted recibe un diagnóstico de cáncer, puede comenzar a verse acostado …

CORRECTING YOUR VISION

Leon FontaineDevoted

Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. Psalm 119:133 (NLT) As you walk out your destiny, what you see and how you react to it is vital. Now, I’m not talking about your eyes. I’m saying that your thoughts and your beliefs affect how you perceive situations.  That’s why it’s crucial to keep your mind consistently renewed with the Word of God. Otherwise, an incorrect view will cause you to misinterpret conversations and circumstances, make wrong decisions and run off course.  It reminds me of a story I heard about two competing shoe salesmen. Their respective companies sent them to a country where they’d heard there was a phenomenal, untapped market for shoes.  The first salesman got off the …
