Change How You Feel

Leon FontaineDevoted

Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. Romans 12:2 (VOICE) Do you often feel powerless to change how you feel? Some theories would have you believe that you don’t have any conscious control over your feelings—that they come and go without warning and there’s nothing you can do about it. They often point the finger at brain and body chemicals like serotonin, testosterone and estrogen, arguing that you are at the mercy of these chemicals when it comes to how you feel. Although they’re not entirely wrong, there’s more to it than that. Other theories propose that you can choose your feelings just by deciding to feel a different …

Como Jesús

Leon FontaineEntregate

Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres. Juan 8:32 (RVR1960) ¿Usted sabía que puede ser como Jesús? “Como Él es, así somos nosotros en este mundo” (1 Juan 4:17), y no sólo cuando se trata de nuestro derecho de estar de pie con Dios o nuestra capacidad de ver lo milagroso. Somos como Jesús cuando tenemos el poder de ser victoriosos sobre la tentación. Si usted está luchando por romper un hábito, ¡usted necesita esta comprensión! Si usted cuenta con la fuerza de voluntad por sí sola, eso no es suficiente. Usted puede dejar de hacer algo, pero si usted está gritando por ello en su interior, eso no es libertad. Pero como Cristo está en usted, usted puede llegar al punto …

Intocable

Así que en Cristo Jesús todos ustedes son hijos de Dios por la fe. Gálatas 3:26 Si usted ha dado su vida a Jesucristo, usted ha recibido una nueva naturaleza. Ahora usted tiene la naturaleza de Dios, su ADN y nadie puede robarle eso. Como comentamos ayer, solo su decisión de aceptar a Cristo tiene el poder de cambiar su naturaleza. Cuando usted dio su vida a Cristo, esa decisión lo convirtió en una creación completamente nueva en Cristo. Eso es lo que usted es ahora. Sus propios errores y malas decisiones no cambian esa identidad. Ahora no me malinterpreten, las malas decisiones pueden provocar la pérdida de muchas cosas, incluyendo su mente, su salud, su familia, e incluso su libertad si va a la …

4 Profound Effects Of God’s Word

Leon FontaineDevoted

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. Hebrews 4:12 (NLT) How does getting into God’s Word affect us? The first thing the Word does is it produces faith within us. Prior to giving your life to Christ, you were lost in sin, destined for an eternity in Hell without Him. As you heard about Jesus and His saving grace, it began to produce faith within you (Romans 10:17). Now as a believer, you can dig into the Word every day and let it continue to grow your faith. Not only does God’s Word produce faith, but it gives us new birth. God’s Word says when we …

When Change Seems Hopeless…

He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds. Titus 2:14 (NLT) As believers, the blood of Jesus Christ set us free from the penalty of our sins. But God’s Word also reminds us that we’re cleansed and sanctified as a result. The more we grasp who we are in Christ and the totality of forgiveness and redemption we have in Him, the clearer we see ourselves through God’s eyes. He views you as priceless; after all, Jesus gave His life to make you cleansed, holy and right with God! (See 1 Corinthians 6:11.) Do you struggle with seeing yourself as a hopeless sinner (when …
