When To Praise Him The Loudest

Leon FontaineDevoted

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3 (KJV) There is such freedom in deciding to praise and worship God no matter what is going on in your life. According to our verse today, God inhabits our praises, but this doesn’t mean that God only shows up when we praise Him. If you’ve given your life to Christ, He’s always with you, but you may not always be aware of Him. As you praise and worship God, you become more aware of His presence. Something amazing happens when you turn your focus to God’s goodness. You “find fullness of joy” in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11). You can tap in to the joy God has for you, no matter what …

Divertirse En momentos de cada día

Leon FontaineEntregate

Porque el Señor se complace en su pueblo; da a los humildes el honor de la victoria. Salmo 149:4 (DHH)  ¿Está obteniendo placer de la vida? En lugar de enfocarnos en lo bueno y estar complacidos en lo que Dios está haciendo en nuestras vidas, a menudo estamos demasiado envueltos en los problemas que enfrentamos. La Biblia dice que Dios se complace en usted. Él disfruta de pensar en usted. Le gusta ver lo que usted está haciendo con su vida. A pesar de que usted no es perfecto, él todavía se complace en usted. Del mismo modo que él se complace en usted, usted puede aprender a disfrutar de su vida cotidiana. Sólo se necesita tomar la decisión de buscar lo positivo. Cuando lo haga, …

The Prayer Of Worship

Leon FontaineDevoted

Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! Acts 16:26 (NLT) Have you ever thought of worship as a type of prayer? Worship has the potential to release incredible power into your situation because it inspires you to believe. Paul and Silas witnessed this power from deep inside a Roman prison. They had been publicly stripped and “severely beaten” (Acts 16:23, NLT). Badly bruised and bloody, they were shackled and thrown into the darkest, dirtiest part of the prison—the place reserved for the worst criminals. Think about this situation. It’s easy to worship God when things are going well, but Paul and Silas worshipped God …

El Entusiasmo Significa “En Dios”

Leon FontaineEntregate

Todo lo que hagan, háganlo de buena gana, como si estuvieran sirviendo al Señor y no a los hombres. Pues ya saben que, en recompensa, el Señor les dará parte en la herencia. Porque ustedes sirven a Cristo, que es su verdadero Señor. Colosenses 3:23-24 (DHH) ¿Ha desarrollado el hábito de quejarse últimamente? Si usted está enfermo y cansado de hablar de lo que le hace estar harto y cansado, es el momento de desarrollar un poco más de entusiasmo. La buena noticia es que el entusiasmo está en todos y cada uno de nosotros, como creyentes. De hecho, la palabra entusiasmo proviene de las raíces en y Theos, que significa “en Dios.” Todo lo que usted hace en la vida, puede “hacerlo para el Señor” (Colosenses 3:23). Dios …

When You’ve Done All, Stand

Leon FontaineDevoted

And, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Ephesians 6:13 (AMP) We’ve been on a series discussing the eight different types of prayer that we have available to us, and yesterday we covered the prayer of commitment. In this type of prayer, you ask God to get involved in a situation you are concerned about and then you let go of it because you trust Him to intervene. To be clear, the prayer of commitment isn’t throwing your problems at God and walking away. For example, if parents are having trouble with their son’s behaviour, they can’t just say, “Well, we’ve done what we know to do. He’s your problem God.” It is still their job to raise their son! …
