Our past has changed, because, in God's eyes, we have no past, only a great future. In Jeremiah 29:11, He says: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Do you know God through the free pardon of your sins in Jesus
If you believe the proclamation of forgiveness of sins in Jesus' name and blood,(absolution) preached to you by believer (a person who has Holy Spirit), then you have your sins forgiven in Heaven also and then you are a believer, so then you can be sure you have Jesus in your heart.
The act of caring for another is so powerful because it creates deeper bonds as individuals lean on each other for emotional support. ... It also teaches important virtues such as patience, understanding and loyalty that benefit individuals in both their personal and professional lives.
And the reason I say “essence” is because I know there are other emotions besides joy that are important components of corporate and individual worship. For example, the sorrows of confession of sin. “Weep you people with dirty hands,” James says. He commands them to weep! It’s not a command to rejoice. So I know that other emotions are necessary to a full orbed experience of worship — especially corporate worship. However, I’m staying with the word essence for joy because those sorrows are not ...
Prayer is meant to be a way of life for Christians, a way of talking to God and listening for His voice with the ears of the heart. As a result, there are prayers for every occasion, from a simple salvation prayer to deeper devotionals that help facilitate and strengthen one's spiritual journey.
But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices Colossians 3:8-9

Temor a las nuevas experiencias ¿Has dejado de hacer cosas por miedo? ¿Estás postergando algo sólo porque no te atreves? Si la respuesta es afirmativa, entonces es que sabes lo que es el miedo a lo desconocido, la emoción de detenerse y esconderse, porque no sabes qué puede pasar, con qué obstáculos te vas a encontrar o cómo vas a salir parado de una situación.
Yo estoy entre vosotros como el que sirve” (Lucas 22:27). Como verdaderos discípulos de Jesús, nosotros también debemos servir a los demás. El servicio es prestar asistencia a quienes necesitan ayuda.

You are not alone. Do you ever feel like you are the only one who is going through your struggle? Everywhere you look everyone is doing great, and you suffer in silence as you struggle with sin or someone being cruel to you. The Bible is very clear that you are not alone. Jesus suffered everything that the rest of us have. He can empathize with us because he has gone through it too. Don’t let Satan push you farther down by getting you to think you are isolated. Stand on God’s Word and find your ...
1. Allow yourself to complain of nothing – not even the weather. 2. Never picture yourself to yourself – under any circumstances in which you are not. 3. Never compare your own lot with that of another. 4. Never allow yourself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been, or were, otherwise that is was, or is. God Almighty loves you better and more wisely than you do yourself. 5. Never dwell on the morrow. Remember that it is God’s, not yours. The heaviest part of sorrow is often to look forw...
Instead of planting a garden, let’s say I need to plant seeds of truth in a friend’s heart. Or instead of fixing a sink, I need to fix a broken relationship. The wonderful news is that God gives us the tools to do any spiritual work He may ask us to do. Not only that, but God also gives us the knowledge and ability to use these tools. Sometimes we see someone doing some great spiritual work, and we think, “I could never do that.” We need to realize we can do anything that God calls us to do. Do ...
A prolonged sickness can be a desert. Moving to a new place or joining a new church where you don’t know anyone can be one. Being stuck in a miserable or boring job instead of the fulfilling career you had hoped for can be a desert. A rebellious child or an unbelieving spouse can be a desert. When we’re in the desert, it can feel like God’s not doing anything. Or he’s set us aside. But God is always at work. He uses desert experiences in many ways, as we see in Dt. 8:2-6: Deserts humble us...

Satan declared war on God when he attempted to overthrow God long before Adam and Eve were here. We believe Satan whose name was Lucifer lived on the planet Earth ruling over all of God's angels. There was plant and animal life plus all of God's angels. Lucifer planned an invasion of heaven taking a third of God's angels with him. Isaiah the prophet tells us, "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For ...

Imagínese que alguien le pregunta si Dios ha sido bueno con usted. ¿Qué es lo primero que le viene a la cabeza? ¿Piensa en cosas materiales como una casa o un automóvil? Esas cosas son excelentes, pero aunque no tenga ninguna señal externa de sus bendiciones, todavía puede decir que Dios ha sido bueno con usted.
El Espíritu Santo se recibe después del bautismo. En una ordenanza llamada confirmación, uno o más poseedores autorizados del sacerdocio le ponen las manos sobre la cabeza, lo confirman miembro de la Iglesia y lo bendicen para recibir el Espíritu Santo.
Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. No one in this world can love a girl more than her father. A father is a man who expects his children to be as good as he meant to be. My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it
Set the example. To cultivate new leaders, you have to lead by example. Your habits and actions will set the standard for others and show others how it's done. 2. Recognize their strengths.

If you keep someone in the dark or leave someone in the dark, you do not tell them about something In many cases, the government itself was being kept in the dark about what was going on.
“I shall not want' means that in order to move forward to become the enlightened being you naturally are, you just need to step away from fear infused and desperate energies, 'want' being a part of them. Instead of you wanting something, why don't you declare that the things you desire wants you.
The 23rd Psalm is the most famous Psalm in the world. Sometimes familiarity can not only breed contempt but can blind us to the presence of things we should have seen. For many, the 23rd Psalm has brought comfort at funerals or memorial services but I believe this Psalm has more than just comfort to give us. Let me point out a few structural elements of the Psalm we should take note of right way.

Christians are people who rely on God’s promises. We have never seen God or touched God, but we know Him and that through the Word of His promises. Some have counted the promises in the Bible and come up with 3583! That is a lot of promises!!!! As we rejoice and rely upon God’s promises, it is very easy to become one dimensional in our grasp of God’s promises. Let me illustrate. How do we see God’s promises? For the most part, don’t we view and embrace them for what they give to us?
