Join The Resistance!

But resist him, be firm in your faith (against his attack—rooted, established, immovable), knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. 1 Peter 5:9 (AMP) Everything starts in the mind; from how we handle money and view leadership, to our emotions and relationships. It all starts with a thought, so it’s no mystery why Satan constantly works to tie up our minds with misbeliefs and deception. It’s how he tries to control us. In fact, this process is what today’s verse is talking about. The suffering it mentions is the constant barrage on your mind; the relentless mind games that rise up as thoughts in your head. When we are bombarded by negative thoughts, we …

The Battlefield Is In The Mind

Leon FontaineDevoted

Be sober [well-balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 (AMP) How does the devil attack us? Often, we think that the big bad devil has the power to cause all kinds of trauma and tragedy in our lives, but it’s not true. He’s simply not that powerful. What he actually does is try to plant thoughts in our minds, hoping to start a process. When we haven’t learned how to control our thoughts, by default we turn to the negative, and begin to dwell on these little negative thoughts that come from the enemy. If we allow our thoughts to go …

Conozca a Jesús, Conozca a Dios

Jesús le contestó:—Felipe, hace tanto tiempo que estoy con ustedes, ¿y todavía no me conoces? El que me ha visto a mí, ha visto al Padre; ¿por qué me pides que les deje ver al Padre? Juan 14:9 (DHH) Si quiere conocer como es Dios, vea a Jesús. En Juan 14:9, Felipe pidió a Jesús que le mostrara al Padre. La respuesta de Jesús fue, “¿He estado contigo tanto tiempo, y aún no me has conocido, Felipe?”. En otras palabras, ¡si usted ha escuchado cómo es Jesús, usted sabe cómo es Dios! La gente tiende a olvidar esto. Aceptan que Jesús les ama porque Él murió por nosotros, pero luego piensan que tienen que ganar el amor y las bendiciones de Dios a través del …

How To Cast Your Cares

Leon FontaineDevoted

Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully.] 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) Ever wondered how to cast your cares on God? As believers, we want to, but often we simply don’t know how. While the context of today’s verse has often been limited to prayer, it actually refers to an entire teaching about how to have the mind of Christ! Now, Satan loves to try to get into our heads to play mind games with us. So how do we battle his deception and lies that cause us to have those cares, anxiety and worry? We focus on the …

Él le “Habla”

Leon FontaineEntregate

En tiempos antiguos Dios habló a nuestros antepasados muchas veces y de muchas maneras por medio de los profetas. Ahora, en estos tiempos últimos, nos ha hablado por su Hijo, mediante el cual creó los mundos y al cual ha hecho heredero de todas las cosas. Hebreos 1:1-2 (DHH) Gracias a lo que Jesús consiguió para nosotros, los creyentes tenemos la capacidad de escuchar a Dios. En Hebreos 1:1-2, dice que Dios habló en el pasado a los profetas de varias maneras. Él incluso, si lee Números 22, habló una vez a través de un mula, pero ahora Él nos habla a nosotros principalmente a través de Su Palabra y Su Espíritu. Algunos piensan que Dios no les está hablando salvo que tengan algún tipo de experiencia …
