I have done this to both the lions and bears, and I’ll do it again to this pagan Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God! 1 Samuel 17:36 (NLT) If it were up to God, your life would be perfect. If God determined whether or not you would be healthy, prosperous and blessed, you would be. In reality, living in God’s promises takes three things: grace, belief and corresponding actions. God’s grace is His power, ability, unearned favour and full provision for your life, and you gain access to it the moment you begin a relationship with Him. There is no lack of God’s grace in your life, but to set it in motion, you need to believe. However, you …
A Heart That Believes Won’t Settle
For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NLT) Faith is not mental assent. Mental assent is agreeing with something in your mind, but you can’t depend on your mind alone. Your mind relies on reasoning, which will try to talk you out of your miracle. When you decide to believe, reasons why you think things can’t change will pop into your head. For example, if you’re diagnosed with cancer, you might justify that you somehow had it coming because it runs in the family. If your teenagers are struggling, you might reason that you deserve to get a taste of what …
Un Corazón que Cree no se Conformará
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) La fe no es un consentimiento mental. El consentimiento mental está de acuerdo con algo en su mente, pero usted no puede depender solo de su mente. Su mente se basa en el razonamiento, que intentará disuadirlo de su milagro. Cuando usted decida creer, las razones por las que usted cree que las cosas no pueden cambiar aparecerán en su cabeza. Por ejemplo, si se le diagnostica cáncer, usted puede justificar que de alguna manera lo tuvo debido a que se encuentra en la familia. Si sus adolescentes están teniendo problemas, usted podría pensar que merece probar un poco de lo que …
¿Dios Carece de Algo?
Por lo tanto, mi Dios les dará a ustedes todo lo que les falte, conforme a las gloriosas riquezas que tiene en Cristo Jesús. Filipenses 4:19 (DHH) Si una niña de 14 años con un bebé en brazos lo detuviera en la calle y le pidiera dinero para comprar leche para su bebé, ¿usted qué haría? Si usted pudiera pagarla, probablemente también compraría su cena. Y si no tuviera hogar, probablemente llamaría al refugio más cercano para encontrarle un lugar donde quedarse. Simplemente satisfacer una pequeña parte de su necesidad no sería suficiente cuando usted tiene más que ofrecer. En otras palabras, usted satisfaría sus necesidades de acuerdo con lo que usted tiene para dar. Dios también satisface sus necesidades de acuerdo con lo que Él tiene para ofrecer. …
Does God Lack Anything?
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 (NLT) If a 14-year-old girl holding a little baby stopped you on the street and asked you for money to buy milk for her baby, what would you do? If you could afford it, you’d probably buy her supper as well. And if she were homeless, you’d likely call the nearest shelter to find her a place to stay. Just meeting one small part of her need wouldn’t feel like enough when you have more to offer. In other words, you would meet her need according to what you had to give. God also meets your …
