Delivered, y predicar!

Act 12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

Act 12:12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

Something I’ve been dealing with the last couple of days is letting the Lord do things for me, and not relying on my own strength. Here, we see Peter let the Lord deliver him, though in the form of an angel. Peter probably could have fought his way through some of the soldiers, but at the same time, he would have eventually been killed.

But by letting the angel deliver him, Peter was totally freed, and didn’t have to do anything but walk. But that’s not all. The Bible says he considered what had happened. He thought about how God had freed him from death.

It’s important to think about what God has done for you. Not only will it help grow your faith, but it will also encourage you, and brighten your mood as you see His love bestowed upon you through His man blessings.

Act 14:7 Y allí predicaban el evangelio.

Cuando estamos huyendo, o estamos en cargados, tenemos que predicar el evangelio. Cuando la vida nos cae bien, y cuando nos cae mal, tenemos que predicar el evangelio. Es muy básico, pero es necesario.

Pray for Spain. Pray that the Lord would raise up missionaries and native Spaniards to take the gospel to the millions of lost souls in Spain.

He is my power

The last couple of days, I have really been reminded of how much I really need the Lord. And to be honest, I haven't really, really liked it. It has been very, very humiliating for me.

But it's one of those things that I'm so much better off having been reminded of.

And I've really had a rough time admitting it, but the truth is that without God, I can do nothing. But that isn't the end; because I can do all things through Christ.

And I was reading about that in The Normal Christian Life, about how I can reckon my self dead to sin, but only because of Christ. It's pretty good stuff, and I feel much better and so refreshed having learned it.

His true power y común

Act 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

When we see the Lord’s true power, or even a sliver of it, it’s impossible not to hearken unto it. In only 6 verses, Saul has went from breathing out threatenings to calling Christ his Lord, and seeking what His will for his life was.

Lord, help me to realize your true power, and give me a heart that wants to serve you more and more.

Act 10:15 Y volvió la voz hacia él la segunda vez: Lo que Dios limpió, no lo llames tú común.

Dios ha creado cada uno de nosotros. Y como un Cristiano, soy diferente de una persona normal, y no soy común. Dios me creyó especialmente. No me creyó en una factoría, y no hay nadie en el mundo que está exactamente como yo.
