DECISION, DIRECTION & FOCUS

First, we need to understand what is light. The light is the truth. And they are both also the Word of God. It is impossible to walk in the light without reading the Bible. "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." John 17: 17 Without reading the Bible constantly, (Because His Word renews itself each time we read it, yes, it's a mystery), we don't have knowledge of the truth and it gets difficult to walk in the light because we are not seeing the light. "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”" John 8:31-32 Walking according to what God says in the Bible it is the same as walking in a safe, firm, free path... that is to walk in the light. "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." Salmos 119:105 When we walk in the light we have nothing to fear, we are full of courage. Havin...

Everybody knows what circumcision is. But there is a circumcision mentioned in the New Testament that few know. It is the circumcision of the heart. That circumcision is done by God. The Word of God is a sword that penetrates into our hearts and many times it hurts and bothers. "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 When we read something that bothers us in the Word, something that looks like God is criticizing us, it's necessary to agree with God. Because God is showing us something that we need to see and admit, so that He may make a change. And when He shows that, it bothers. It is the sword penetrating our heart and willing to circumcise it. A circumcised heart it's a heart free from impurities, malice, darkness, and sin. Only he who allows God to circ...

In this post, I would like to talk about the wisdom of the prostitute Rahab. Before starting to read this message, it's essential that you stop for a moment and read with attention Joshua chapter 2. Click   here   to read it online. I'm going to talk about that history and I need you to read it so you may understand it. Rahab's faith gave her the revelation that God was giving that land to the two spies. "and said to the men: “I know that the Lord has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.  And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the Lord ...

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 16:25 To me, this verse is the most intriguing one of the Bible. How many times have I read it and didn't understand anything and other times I read it and understood everything. Everything that God starts to do in our lives always starts to enter our hearts, but when we put our heart on that and take it out from Jesus, it's time to read that verse. It's time to detach ourselves... A relationship, a job, money, friends, anything may "rob" our hearts from the focus and priority which is Jesus and His Kingdom. Then what happens when that happens? The thing starts not going very well. Why? "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 16:25 So it is time to relocate the things in our hearts. It's time to detach yourself from something and attach yourself to Jesu...

There are moments and situations in our lives in which we hide within ourselves because our mind creates barriers because of fear. But we don't always identify that it is fear that is making us stuck. We create rules, excuses, conditions which are actually all fear. We create conditions that if something happens the way we want or expect it to happen then we will advance or change. But we need to understand that in these situations, it belongs to us to make the thing happen. The situation is waiting for us to advance, to knock down our barriers, to face our fear, so that then, the thing may happen as we expect or want it to happen. But how to get rid of fear so that we may advance? 1) Changing the perspective; 2) Understanding the strategy and the final result; 3) Facing fear. It is very important that you understand and trust the final result. That you know it, and visualize it. Because that vision is what will give you the courage to face the fear. It is necessary to hav...

What is a religious person? Someone religious isn't necessarily someone who follows a religion. Many believers don't like religiosity. But there are religious believers. A religious believer cannot follow their sincerity. This person follows external things, including commandments that go against what they really want to do. It's necessary to have an internal transformation made by the Holy Spirit and not force that transformation. A religious person is fake, it's a pharisee. It's a hypocrite. When we want to serve God going against our will we may fall into religiosity. To serve God is necessary enjoyment. God wants friends, partners and not slaves. We may become slaves for lack of sincerity. When we annul our sincerity we are doing a sacrifice and God doesn't want that. "But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Matthew 9: 13 Read more on ...
