Y El me ha dicho: Te basta mi gracia, pues mi poder se perfecciona en la debilidad. Por tanto, muy gustosamente me gloriaré más bien en mis debilidades, para que el poder de Cristo more en mí. 2 Corintios 12:9 (LBLA) Que la energía de Cristo - la fuerza que Cristo imparte; su energía manifestó en el apoyo de mí en ensayos. Resto de mayo sobre mí. La palabra significa correctamente echar una tienda sobre; y entonces a la detención adentro o sobre. Aquí se utiliza en el sentido de habitar sobre, o restante con. El sentido es, eso la energía que Cristo manifestado a su gente reclinó con ella, o domicilio con ella en sus ensayos, y por lo tanto él rejoice en aflicciones, en orden que él puede ser que participe de la ayuda y de la consolación impartidas así. Por lo tanto, aprenda:  (1) Que un cristiano nunca pierde cualquier cosa por el sufrimiento y la aflicción. Si él puede obtener el favor de Cristo por sus ensayos él es un gainer. El favor del Redeemer es más que una r...

Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. — James 1:16-18 Give proper liberty and create sufficient opportunities for the Spirit to manifest Himself in the settings that are specifically intended to welcome renewal ministry and its attending activity. Of course, God may Himself break into any gathering with His manifest presence without human mediation. Model and teach proper restraints, and seek to be sensitive to the specific situation and context. What does love look like or require in this particular setting? Seek to submit to those in authority for the sake of peace and unity. Mistakes in discernment are bound to happen in the midst of renewal when the heightened fear of both missing God and being deceived are present. Encou...

I pray that you will walk in the Light of Jesus the Christ today. In the beginning the Word already existed.  The Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He existed in the beginning with God.  God created everything through him,  and nothing was created except through him.   The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.  The light shines in the darkness,  and the darkness can never extinguish it. God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony.  John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light.  The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. This was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants from Jerusalem to ask John, “Who are you?”  He came right out and said, “I am not the Messiah.”...

Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. — Luke 2:28-31 Simeon, a minister in the temple, was promised he would see the Messiah before he died. As was the custom, after eight days Mary and Joseph took the baby Jesus to the temple to consecrate Him to the Lord. ( Luke 2:21-23 ). Scripture tells us three times in these verses the Holy Spirit revealed the Christ to Simeon (vv. 25-27). When he saw the child, he declared the eternal significance of Christ's birth: His salvation is for "all peoples," both Jews and Gentiles. Christ fulfilled Simeon's prophecy when He later ordered His apostles to preach the gospel to all nations—making Himself a light of revelation to the Gentiles. When He added, "begin...

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. —2 Peter 1:5-7 Goodness. We need to genuinely care for the needs of others and, therefore, we should seek to be willing to show that care to them in practical ways on the heels of praying for them. We may not have the resources ourselves, but maybe we know others who might, to whom we can direct them. We must seek to break the cycles of injustice in people's lives rather than perpetuate them, especially in the name of serving the Lord. Also, we must never take advantage of the sacred trust that others are giving us when they make themselves vulnerable by allowing us to pray for them. Evil things, behind the guise of ministry, have been perpetrated on vulnerable people before in the history of Christianit...

Merry Christmas Jesus the Christ Savior of the Whole World! God is Love 1John 4:16 and Jesus is Lord of Heaven and Earth

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. — Ephesians 2:6-7 Kindness. We will often be praying for people whose lives have been wrecked by sin. Many haven't been taught social skills, and they have unlovely characteristics about them. Many have embraced wrong teachings and even are oppressed by demons. We must be braced to gracefully absorb some of their immaturity and deal kindly with their deception. We must overcome evil with good and be kind to those who are unkind to us. This honors the Lord and gives them the best chance to get His help. { PRAYER STARTER } Make me a kind person, Spirit. Let me express the kindness of our loving heavenly Father. Help me to overcome the evil around and in me with the response of spiritual kindness. We must overcome evil with good and be ...

When Herod the k ing had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. — Matthew 2:3 Every year the advent of the Christmas season heralds the reminders of what Jesus came to free us from. Greedy merchants vie for our time and our money. Church pews empty as shopping malls fill. Picketers are set in place before nativity scenes in public squares, demanding their rights and denying ours. Herod greedily welcomed the wise men, expecting a new avenue of commerce to advance his realm; but he grew troubled when he learned of their true mission. The spirit of the world is troubled at Christmas time, as believers gather to honor and worship the KING. Do not allow the traditions of Christmas to turn into empty rituals. Let your birthday celebration be more than just a reminder of your faith. Let it testify to a dying world of the awesome sacrifice Jesus made. All the glory of heaven was His, yet He gave it up to come to earth for you and for me. Herod...

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. — Hebrews 5:13 , KJV Solid food is nourishment by which the capacity of the soul is enlarged. Sooner or later, a newborn baby must go from milk to something solid; if that does not happen, there will be a deformed child. It is the same with the analogy here. What do I mean when I say solid food is nourishment by which the capacity of the soul is enlarged? The soul's enlargement will mean simple trust in God, unfeigned love for one another, and the ability to understand what God is pleased to reveal. Now by simple trust in God, I would remind you of 1 John 4:16 : "We know and rely on the love God has for us." That verse has gripped me for years. But it involves simple trust, simply taking seriously that God really does love us. When one really believes it, it changes everything. The ability to digest solid food is the enlargement of the soul, where you become able, simp...

The Birth of Jesus In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.  (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)  And everyone went to their own town to register.  So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.  He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.  While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.   And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them...

Psalm 136 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. 4 to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. 5 who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever. 6 who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever. 7 who made the great lights— His love endures forever. 8 the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever. 9 the moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever. 10 to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt His love endures forever. 11 and brought Israel out from among them His love endures forever. 12 with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; His love endures forever. 13 to him who divided the Red Sea [ a ] asunder His love endures forever. 14 and brought Israel through the midst of it, His love endures forever. ...

Luke 1:47-55 New Living Translation How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!   For he took notice of his lowly servant girl,  and from now on all generations will call me blessed.  For the Mighty One is holy,  and he has done great things for me.  He shows mercy from generation to generation  to all who fear him.  His mighty arm has done tremendous things! He has scattered the proud and haughty ones. He has brought down princes from their thrones  and exalted the humble.   He has filled the hungry with good things  and sent the rich away with empty hands.   He has helped his servant Israel  and remembered to be merciful.   For he made this promise to our ancestors,  to Abraham and his children forever.” Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back to her own home.  Commentary: Mary's hymn expresses praise to God for his treatment of her...

Romans 16:25-27 (NIV)  Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past,  but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

When King David was settled in his palace and the L ord had given him rest from all the surrounding enemies, the king summoned Nathan the prophet. “Look,” David said, “I am living in a beautiful cedar palace,m but the Ark of God is out there in a tent!”   Nathan replied to the king, “Go ahead and do whatever you have in mind, for the L ord is with you.”  But that same night the L ord said to Nathan,  “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the L ord has declared: Are you the one to build a house for me to live in?  I have never lived in a house, from the day I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until this very day. I have always moved from one place to another with a tent and a Tabernacle as my dwelling.  Yet no matter where I have gone with the Israelites, I have never once complained to Israel’s tribal leaders, the shepherds of my people Israel. I have never asked them, “Why haven’t you built me a beautiful cedar house?”’   “Now go and sa...

My prayer for you today "Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else" in Jesus name.   Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.  Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.  And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.   Be joyful always;  pray continually;  give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.  Do not put out the Spirit’s fire;  do not treat prophecies with contempt.  Test everything. Hold on to the good.  Avoid every kind of evil.    May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. ...

   When the L ord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem,  it was like a dream!   We were filled with laughter,  and we sang for joy.   And the other nations said,  What amazing things the L ord has done for them.” Yes, the L ord has done amazing things for us!  What joy! Restore our fortunes, L ord ,  as streams renew the desert.  Those who plant in tears  will harvest with shouts of joy.  They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest .   Psalm 126 (NLT) God is Love 1John 4:16

Prayer: That you remember always the Love  God has  for you!     Isaiah 61 The Year of the LORD’s Favor The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,    because the LORD has anointed me  to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,  to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,  to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor  and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,  and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy  instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,  a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.   They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated;  they will renew the ruined cities  tha...

I pray that as the year comes to an end that you will renew your relationship with the Living God.   I also pray if you have not received Jesus the Christ as your Lord and Savior, to say this prayer.   “Jesus come into my heart and forgive me for all of my sins.   I believe that you are the Son of the Living God.   I believe that you were born from a virgin birth. Jesus come into my heart Jesus.   Thank you God for forgiving me in Jesus Name! “      Amen!   Ecclesiastes 3 A Time for Everything 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to...

Holy, Holy, Holy  Throne in Heaven   After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.  And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.   Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.  From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits [ of God.  Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they...

Luke 10:27(NIV) He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Deuteronomy 6:5   Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Leviticus 19:18   “‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

Photo by Judy Rushing Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place under these circumstances: When His mother Mary had been promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant [through the power] of the Holy Spirit. And her [promised] husband Joseph, being a just and upright man and not willing to expose her publicly and to shame and disgrace her, decided to repudiate and dismiss (divorce) her quietly and secretly.      But as he was thinking this over, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary [as] your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of (from, out of) the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus [the Greek form of the Hebrew Joshua, which means Savior], for He will save His people from their sins [that is, prevent them from failing and missing the true end and scope of life, which is God]. All this to...

5 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you ne...

Prayer:   Give us ears to hear, O God, and eyes to watch, that we may know your presence in our midst during this holy season of joy as we anticipate the coming of Jesus Christ. Amen. " They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.  Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” Acts 1:10-11 NIV God is Love 1John 4:16
