Positioning Yourself in God's Greatness

Pastor Eduardo Alves was leading first worship service at Ministerios Adoracion church;

Positioning Yourself in God's Greatness

"God is big enough to take care of your smallest need." You may have lost your hope and think that there is no one who understands your situation. God understands. Ephesians 5:15-16 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

· How are you looking at life? Do you see the greatness of God in the midst of it all? Open your heart to the great God who is with you and can take care of your smallest need. May these practical steps help unlock the treasure chest of God inside of you. Apply these tools wholeheartedly and with all diligence in your life:

Philippians 4:6-7New International Version (NIV)

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

God our Father is the One who has blessed us through the year of 2016. He is the One who will be with us in the year before us—2017. “Every good thing given and every perfect gift” given during the past year has come “from above, coming down from the Father of lights” (James 1:17). The psalmist says it well: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits” (Psalm 103:1-2).

Although each of us has faced sorrow and perhaps even tremendous tragedy during the year behind us, still we can remember God’s blessings and benefits that come to us in abundance. We can also depend on the Lord God to be the same gracious and faithful God He has always been.

As we arrive at the beginning of another year, let us be grateful to God for new opportunities and amazing blessings. We have the opportunity .

God Promises for 2017.

God Promises for 2017. God promises us an abundant life, but we can’t have abundance unless we position ourselves in the greatness of God. The Bible “says that without a vision the people perish (Proverbs 29:18).” We must have a vision of the greatness of God and pray to be God-focused rather than self-focused. If we are God-focused we can walk in true freedom. Then we can walk every day with a greater vision of what God is like, what He is saying, and what He can do.
•
• God wants to position you in the greatness of God. He wants to give you a new belief and expression of the power of prayer in your own life. He wants to give you a new freedom in your walk with Him. God is preparing you. He wants to impart to you new life. His training is supernatural training. You and I are in the process of becoming. We are changed from glory to glory as we grow into a Christ-like person.
•
• Are you desperate today in some area of your life? Do you have questions where there are no answers but God? He uses ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances to show His mighty power. When you are desperate, you are in the prime place to shift into the greatness of God. Your impossibility opens the way for the possibilities of God –

God write your story

Pastor Eduardo Alves was in a blessed service at Ministerios Adoracion church:

God write your story

“Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” John 21:25 (NIV)

Every story is unique and each story — including yours — is important to God. And this is our promise: Brokenness does not have to be the final chapter.

He rewrites.

Begin to imagine what you will look like in the hands of your Savior. This opens the door to hope. It places the pen in God’s hand, instead of the past, a person or a feeling.

It changes your question from, “What’s wrong with me?” to “What miracle does God want to perform in me?”

We receive.

He came for you. That’s the good news found in Luke 4:18-19: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord”s favor” (NIV).

Jesus is not afraid of our brokenness. It was on His heart the day He transitioned from deity to walk the earth on our behalf. Hold out to His hands. Throw open the doors that so carefully guard your pain.

We all rejoice.

Healing won’t take place overnight. Instead it’s an exquisite process where God peels away layer by layer. But as you heal, something profound begins to take place.

You become an integral part of the good news described in John 21:25, our key verse. Your story spills into the pages eternally describing the power of Jesus to mend a broken heart.

2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!

And for that, we all rejoice.

Dear Jesus, thank You that newness is pouring into my life. I open my heart, my thoughts, my past and my broken places to Your touch. Thank You that You are writing a new chapter in my story beginning today. I praise You because the power of the cross is not in what I’ve done, but in what’s already been done for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

If they ask you how your faith is? It's growing up!

Pastor Eduardo Alves was in blessed service full of the presence of the lord at Ministerios Adoracion church:

If they ask you how your faith is? It's growing up!

"2 Thessalonians 1: 3 We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as he is worthy, because your faith is growing, and the love of each and every one of you abounds with others:" As believers we are called to Grow in faith. This growth is an essential part of the Christian walk. The Bible itself teaches us that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11: 6). The apostle Paul speaks to us in his second letter to the Thessalonians and tells us that his growth in "faith" is a reason to give thanks to God (II Thessalonians 1: 3). So as we see, we can understand that faith is an ingredient not only necessary but primordial in the life of the believer who wants to please God in his life.

What is Faith? The writer to the Hebrews most clearly speaks to us about what Faith is. "Faith is the surety of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1). Therefore if we meditate on this verse, we can conclude that faith as to what is expected or not seen is:
• Secure Security
• Safe Hope
• Total conviction

• Although in the Bible the Word of Faith is applied to doctrine or teaching from a general point of view as seen in Ephesians 4: 5, it says: "One Lord, one Faith, one baptism." Jude 3, "faith given to the saints". Also in Colossians 1:23 tells us: "If you really stand and stand firm in the faith." In this case we will be emphasizing the Faith that every believer has demonstrated from the beginning and that is necessary for the spiritual life.

Different Types of Faith
* Natural Faith or human This faith is the one that comes from the experiences in our daily life. For example a person who works does so because he trusts that the payday will receive his full pay.
* Emotional faith in the gospel
It is one that causes an initial joy to hear the gospel but does not last. Die when affliction comes and persecution dies. It does not last, it does not remain. Matthew 13:20
* Unfruitful Faith (Death)
It is faith that does not bear fruit because the eagerness of life drowns it, it does not live by the Holy Spirit and although it can remain alive for a longer time, its fruit is not seen. Matthew 13:21
* True faith

Biblical faith is defined in greater terms. While human faith works according to the circumstances that surround us, Biblical faith is security and its work reflects the results that are expected even without seeing previous evidence. Hebrews 11: 1.

The "true faith" is one. The believer does not have many different types of faith, but a faith that acts in different areas of his life.
Ephesians 4: 5 tells us that it is one faith, common to all believers, and although this applies to the truth of the gospel, we can apply it to the faith of every believer. God is a God of unity, he is one God. Deuteronomy 6: 4, however through the study of the Word, we see that it is made manifest eternally in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The believer has a faith, proof of this is Colossians 2: 4-7, the faith that one day served to save, now serves to walk in Christ and to wait for His coming. In Romans 1: 17- "... in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed by faith and for faith." Working in Faith, we grow in Faith- We are called to work in our faith, Growing and strengthening in it, working so that we can grow in it.
Faith does not have to be great for it to work God gives us the 'measure of faith' we need.

JEUSUS THE KEY

ONLY JESUS ​​

ONLY JESUS ​​

Acts 4:11 Jesus is“‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.’^[a]

What holds and drives your faith? remember that your faith must be founded on the king who gives life, who gave you salvation and eternal life

 

1. Jesús es el camino, la verdad y la vida.

No hay otra manera de llegar a Dios, sino a través de Jesús, no hay  nadie más en quien se puede llegar a Dios y no hay otro nombre

 

God raised you in the crucial moment of your life the Holy Spirit will allow you to grow in faith and then you will understand the will of God in your life. 

 

2- Put your eyes at Jesus.

In Jesus Christ we must set our sights. Hebrews 12: 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

  Daily we have and must follow the example of the teacher. 1Peter.2: 21-23 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.²² “He committed no sin,
    and no deceit was found in his mouth.”^[a]

²³ When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

 Extraordinary things happen when God is in our midst, for He has achieved victory for you and for me and He reigns For ever and ever.

AFFLICTIONS

Pastor Eduardo Alveswas leading worship service at Ministerios Adoracion church:

Afflictions

Christianity never promises a life free of problems on Earth. We must all undergo several tests in our lifetime. But keep this in mind: The tests are not designed to destroy, but to strengthen us. They are designed to test our faith. Proven faith is worth more than gold tested. The gold will eventually perish in the flames, but the faith that refines never fail! It allows your faith is the kind of faith that endures and results in praise, honor and glory after it has been refined! Christ is coming soon to bring eternal peace! In this we rejoice and we look forward to His return! AMEN!

1 Peter 1: 6-7 "Therefore you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, have been distressed by various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold (which though perishable, is tested by fire), may be found in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. "

We all go through problems in our life. The Bible teaches us as people and countries suffer experiences in different ways and for various reasons. Wickedness is everywhere in this sinful world, and so much suffering. The scriptures present multiple perspectives on suffering. It may come as punishment for immorality. The wicked will surely suffer for their mistakes (Psalm 7: 15-16), although they may look prosperous for a while (Job 21: 28-33). Suffering also occurs away from the Word of God (Mal. 3: 7-15).

When we see the righteous suffer, we must consider God, who sent His only son to an evil world. The New Testament writers incorporated the sufferings of Christ in their own lives. The purpose and need of suffering in the life of the Son of God (Matt. 16:21) helped them to overcome their own ailments. Christians of the first century quickly recognized the inevitability of suffering. As Christ suffered, they would follow in his footsteps (Acts 14:22; 1 Peter 4: 12-13). Continuing the mission of Christ, we incur tribulation (Mark 13: 12-13) because the world rejects the disciples as much as rejection of the Lord (John 15:18). The suffering of Jesus is counted as a privilege for those who love him! (Acts 5:41)

The New Testament also teaches us the kind of suffering that occurs properly live. These tests mature us in faith (James 1: 2-4). Patiently we endure these tests because we know that God is working in our lives (Romans 8: 28-29).

We are strengthened spiritually through these tests (Hebrews 12:11). Therefore, be patient in affliction (Romans 12:12.) Because these afflictions do not compare with the glory that awaits the faithful follower of Christ (Rom. 8: 17,18). Let the perfect power of God work in you in all your troubles! Amen!

Psalms 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but all the LORD delivers him.

Practical Suggestions:

1. Pray without ceasing! Be faithful in your prayers

when you face trials! Pray that the

Lord have victory over your situation!

2. Convive! It is important to seek

encouragement that comes from the church. Let it

God will use to help you in your trials!

3. Be grateful! Thank God in

all circumstances.

4. Trust God! The care you! Put it all

and leave it all in His hands!
