YOU CAN UNDERSTAND GOD’S WILL

But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. 1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMPC) Isaiah 55:9 says that God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and it is often quoted to explain disaster. The assumption is that God causes calamity for reasons we can’t understand. The first part of 1 Corinthians 2:16 says, “For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge?” (AMPC). However, we can’t forget the second part of 1 Corinthians 2:16! It says that believers have the mind of Christ! We hold the thoughts, feelings and purposes of His heart, so we can understand His …

AHOGUE ESAS MENTIRAS

pues en él se cumplen todas las promesas de Dios. Por esto, cuando alabamos a Dios, decimos «Amén» por medio de Cristo Jesús. 2 Corintios 1:20 (DHH) Hemos aprendido en este devocional a reclamar y declarar las promesas de Dios, y luego estudiarlas y meditar en ellas. Cuando lo hacemos, la Palabra de Dios comienza a penetrar en nuestros corazones donde puede producir resultados. El problema es que a veces detenemos el proceso antes de obtener algún resultado porque creemos que nada está sucediendo. Las cosas rara vez ocurren al instante. No es como si usted se pudiera conectar un cable en la parte posterior de su cuello cada vez que quiere descargar una nueva verdad. Cambiar sus creencias requiere trabajo. Pero sucede cuando usted …

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32 (NLT)  Have you ever tried something new that came to you naturally? When some people sing, it looks as easy as breathing. Others can run with such ease that it seems effortless. You can likely think of something you can do that’s easy and natural for you, even though others find it difficult. Well, the blessed life that God has for you is meant to come to you naturally in much the same way. You see, as a follower of Christ, you’ve received the nature of God and the mind of Christ. So… walking in God’s promises and His blessings can be as natural as breathing for you. For example, …

CÓMO LA ESPERA TRAE FORTALEZA

Leon FontaineEntregate

pero los que confían en el Señor tendrán siempre nuevas fuerzas y podrán volar como las águilas; podrán correr sin cansarse y caminar sin fatigarse. Isaías 40:31 (DHH) Dios no se cansa. Él no se queda sin paciencia, energía, comprensión, poder o provisión. Isaías 40:28-31 dice que nuestro Dios, el Señor, el Creador de los confines de la tierra, “no desmaya ni se cansa”, y “Su entendimiento es insondable”. También dice que si esperamos en el Señor, nuestra fuerza se renueva, y no solo una vez, sino de manera continua. Ahora, ¿qué significa esperar en el Señor? A veces creemos que significa que no debemos hacer nada mientras esperamos que Dios traiga las respuestas a nosotros. De hecho, algunos creen que si intentan mejorar su …

GET A NEW, IMPROVED SELF-IMAGE

Leon FontaineDevoted

For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. James 1:23-24 (NLT) God’s Word contains all kinds of information about the real you. By meditating on it, you discover who you really are and what you can do as a follower of Christ. Imagine if you went into a witness protection program and had surgery to completely change the way you looked. Whenever you would see yourself in the mirror at first, you’d be shocked. That’s because you have an image in your mind of what you look like. Even if surgery changed you completely, you would retain that self-image—until you were confronted …
