The Prayer Of Faith

Leon FontaineDevoted

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them. Mark 11:24 (NKJV) Yesterday we introduced a new series to discuss the eight different types of prayer available to us. The first type of prayer I would like to cover is called the prayer of faith. Before we go any further, I want you to realize that all eight types of prayer can flow in and out of each other in one conversation with God. I don’t want you to worry about which type of prayer you are using, because it doesn’t really matter if you can name them. What matters is that you are aware of what is available to you. Our …

¿Está Usted Bien con Dios?

Leon FontaineEntregate

Pues si la muerte reinó como resultado del delito de un solo hombre, con mayor razón aquellos a quienes Dios, en su gran bondad y gratuitamente, hace justos, reinarán en la nueva vida mediante un solo hombre, Jesucristo. Romanos 5:17 (DHH) Hay una gran falta de conocimiento sobre el perdón y la justicia. En el Antiguo Testamento, la gente tenía acceso a un tipo de justicia limitado si se portaban bien. Pero ahora, gracias a Jesús, cada creyente tiene la justicia como regalo. Estamos bien con Dios porque Jesús está bien con Dios, y como él es, así somos nosotros en este mundo (1 Juan 4:17). Gracias a Jesús, somos justos. No es algo que ganamos. Somos hijos de Dios, y por causa de Jesús, …

Get Skilled

Leon FontaineDevoted

Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings…. Proverbs 22:29 (NLT) When my house needs a renovation, I hire someone who is skilled in the trades. First, they come in to unload their tools. They might spend an hour setting up compressors, nail guns, different kinds of power saws and drills, but that setup time is well worth it. Once they’re ready, they get the work done well and they do it fast. Because I’m not much of a handyman, I don’t have a garage full of tools, but I do own a hammer. If I were left on my own to put up a wall with only a hammer, I suppose I could get it done. I’d have to find a …

¿Quieres más Paz?

Leon FontaineEntregate

Reciban abundancia de gracia y de paz mediante el conocimiento que tienen de Dios y de Jesús, nuestro Señor. 2 Pedro 1:2 (DHH)  ¿Le gustaría más paz en su vida? Podemos pensar que la manera de lograr más paz es pedírsela a Dios, pero la verdad es que, cuanto más pedimos paz, parece que menos paz experimentamos. Esto se debe a que pedir paz nos lleva a enfocarnos en nuestra falta de paz. Y cuanto más usted se enfoca en lo que le falta, más de aquello que le falta usted experimentará. Por otro lado, cuanto más usted se enfoque en Jesús, el Príncipe de la Paz, en lo mucho que él lo ama y todo lo que él ha hecho por usted, más gracia y paz se multiplicarán …

He Picks You Up

Leon FontaineDevoted

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. John 16:13 (NLT) Growing up, I somehow picked up the belief that Holy Spirit was the biggest nag on earth. I know my parents taught me differently, but somehow, I came to assume that Holy Spirit’s job was to point out all my flaws. During my prayer time, I thought that He was nagging me about every little thing I was doing wrong. As a result, I stopped enjoying my devotion time. Actually, I started to avoid it. Everything changed when I discovered that Holy Spirit’s job isn’t to condemn believers but to remind us of our right standing with God. I found out that God “has removed our sins as …
