Que el Dios de la esperanza los llene de toda alegría y paz a ustedes que creen en él, para que rebosen de esperanza por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Romanos 15:13 (NKJV) Lanzamos términos como “nacido de nuevo” y “la naturaleza de Dios” en la iglesia, pero es realmente importante que entendamos lo que significan. Piense de esta manera, cada animal tiene una naturaleza con la que nace. Un cerdo tiene la naturaleza de un cerdo. Incluso si usted saca a ese cerdo del barro y lo lava, tan pronto como usted lo suelte, se dirige directamente al charco de barro. Esa es su naturaleza. Los seres humanos nacen con cierta naturaleza también. Lo llamamos la naturaleza caída, porque es la naturaleza del pecado …

The New And Improved You

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NKJV)   We throw terms like “born again” and “the nature of God” around in church, but it’s really important that we understand what they mean. Think of it this way. Every animal has a nature it’s born with. A pig has the nature of a pig. Even if you take that pig out of the mud and you wash him up, as soon as you let him outside, he’s going straight back to the mud puddle. That’s his nature. Human beings are born with a certain nature as well. We call it the fallen …

Ahora bien, la fe es la garantía de lo que se espera, la certeza de lo que no se ve. Hebreos 11:1 (NKJV) La fe y la esperanza van de la mano. De hecho, usted no puede tener fe si no tiene esperanza. Pero, ¿qué es la esperanza? La esperanza es cuando usted espera que algo positivo suceda, y éste es el antecesor de la fe. La fe es la esencia de las cosas que se esperan. Si usted espera que algo malo suceda, eso es miedo. Y así como la fe trae lo que usted está esperando para su vida, el miedo también puede traer aquello a lo que usted tiene miedo. Como Job 3:25 dice: “Lo que más temía me sobrevino, lo que …

What Are You Listening To?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)   Faith and hope go hand-in-hand. In fact, you can’t have faith if you don’t have hope. But what is hope? Hope is when you’re expecting something positive to happen, and this is the precursor to faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. If you expect something bad to happen, that’s fear. And just as faith brings what you’re hoping for into your life, fear can also bring what you’re afraid of into your life. As Job 3:25 says, “What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.” If all you listen to is the news, all you’re going to …

It’s Going To Happen By Faith

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [ of us ] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [ in faith ]. Romans 10:12 (AMPC)   The Gospel is good news, period. When the Gospel is preached as bad news, hope dies. We stop expecting blessings and empowerment to do good and instead just expect judgment and punishment for the mistakes we make. “Bad news” teaching strips us of prosperity, influence and leadership because it seems impossible to get help from God. It blends the old covenant with the new, and teaches people that they have to earn God’s blessings. It says we have to clean up everything in our lives …
