God is all I have.

Pastor Eduardo Alves Was in a blessed service at Ministerios Adoracion church.

God is all I have.

Psalms 16: 5 You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands. 6 How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are! 7 I praise the Lord, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me. 8 I am always aware of the Lord's presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me.

9 And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure,

10 because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.

“Sooner or later God will bring self-sufficient people to the place where they have no resource but Him—no strength, no answers, nothing but Him. Without God’s help, they’re sunk.”

The times we live in are so troubled. People losing their jobs, the stock market falls, natural catastrophes, and uncertainty in what the future holds. In today’s economy there is little to hope for the future however God is never caught off guard or by surprise. God knows the future. You are not the only one that has felt that there is no hope. Even Bible heroes had their times when they wanted to give up. Job, Moses, Jonah, Jeremiah, even the powerful prophet in the Old Testament, Elijah.

Psalms 62:5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

Here is real hope. When a person reads the Word of God (Bible) they can know for certain that they have a secure and certain future for God will never allow us to suffer beyond our own capabilities to handle it. There is nothing on this earth more certain than hope in God. He will never leave us nor will He ever forsake us. He is our anchor in the present and for the future.

Redemptive Hope

Put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. Psalm 130:7

If you are a believer you can rest assured that God’s love is unfailing and He will deliver us in the days of calamity. He has rescued the born-again believers from certain judgment and promised us an eternal home with Him. Instead of using ink, God has signed this redemption with Jesus’ own blood which seals you permanently. When our hope is in the Lord and not in us, it is a rock solid hope.

1 Timothy 4:10 “For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.”

We all have hope, whether a believer or not but if we are not a believer our hope is nothing more than wishful thinking but if we are Christ’s, then our hope is a sure as God’s existence for God gives hope to the hopeless. This hope actually purifies us. How so? First John 4:4 says that “everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.” This means that whoever hopes in God will not be disappointed and that hope leads to a life of purity

Faith during the battle

Pastor Eduardo Alves was in blessed service in Ministerios Adoracion

Faith during the battle Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold firm, without wavering, the profession of our hope, for he is the one who promised.

Have you felt like giving up something because it is too hard or too slow? Let me show you how to have faith for the medium. What God has put in your heart is already on the way. The process has already begun. The right people, healing and advancement are on the way. Your part is to have faith for the environment.

2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God are in him, and in him Amen, through us, to the glory of God.

It is easy to have faith at the beginning of something. When that new baby is born, marry the person of your dreams or start your business, which is exciting! There is adrenaline flowing, and you have the drive! It is easy to have faith in the end when you can see the finish line, when that dream is in sight, and you know you have fought the good fight.

"Those who know Your name will trust in You, because You, O Lord, did not forsake those who sought You" (Psalm 9:10).

Faith at the beginning and at the end is not a problem; The real challenge is to have faith in the middle. That desire is taking longer than you thought, you do not have the funds, or the medical report was not good. That faith that excited you so much, was so strong, now it seems so distant.

God, you blessed me with this business, but I do not have the funds I need to run it. "You gave me that son, I do not know what to do to change it, etc.

God never promised that we would reach our destination without opposition, disappointments or things we do not understand. Nothing that has happened to you has stopped His plan for your life. What God promised you still intends to do. I know you can have faith at the beginning; I know you can have faith in the end. My question is, will you have faith for the middle?

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Today I encourage you, when things are not happening as you thought, when it seems that you are retreating, when each voice tells you to give up, press. Everything is part of the process.

Here is the key: When God places a dream in your heart, He also prepares you to see how it unfolds.

God my anchor

God my anchor

 Scripture tells us, Hebrews 6:18, " ¹⁸ God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. ¹⁹ We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, ²⁰ where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.

 What will keep your soul in the right place, what will make you overcome the challenges, to achieve your dreams is when you need to be anchored to hope in Christ Jesus.

What tranquility and how much peace we feel when we realize that the Lord Jesus Christ is in control and care of us. It is a joy to feel that we are not unprotected. The Word of God is the only one that comforts us in times of difficulty, in which we can rest and rest fully by faith.

 "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and defends them." Psalm 34: 7

 That means no matter what you face, no matter how big the obstacle, no matter how long you are taking, you know that God is still on the throne. You know that His plans for you are for good, that He is greater than any obstacle, that His favor is around you.

"God is our refuge and strength, our help in trouble." Psalm 46: 1

 When you are anchored in this hope, nothing can move you. The winds, the waves, the storms can come but you are not worried, you have your anchor down.

There will always be something trying to get us the anchor of hope: bad pauses, delays, disappointments. In these difficult times, when life does not make sense, when your prayers have

not been answered as fast as you would like, it is easy to throw in the towel and give up, but you have to make sure to keep your anchor down and hope in the Lord .

 "Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27: 1

"Fear not, for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your God who strives for you; I will always help you, I will always uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. "Isaiah 41:10

When you have your hope in Him, the scripture says that you will never be disappointed. You may have some temporary setbacks, but when all is said and done, you will turn out better than you were before if you do not give up your hope!

 We do not have to work out our plans, make them happen in our own strength, I do not know what you're going to face this week. You neither. But I can tell you what God wants you to do: leave and understand. Leave Him control and understand that God is in control. Leave and understand! This is the first step to having serenity in your life.

Pray: I repent of my sins. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins, that He rose again on the third day and lives forever. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I open the door of my heart and my life, and receive it as my Savior.

BEING THE DIFFERENCE

BEING THE DIFFERENCE

Luke 8:43 And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and had spent in doctors all that she had and could not be healed by anyone, 44 came up to Jesus from behind and touched the Edge of his robe, and instantly the flow of his blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? While they all denied it, Peter said, and those who were with him [t]: Master, the crowds tighten and oppress you. 46 But Jesus said, Someone touched me, because I realized that power had come out of me. 47 When the woman saw that she had not gone unnoticed, she came trembling, and falling down before him, declared in the presence of all the people the reason for which she had touched him, and how he had been immediately healed. 48 And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you." Go in peace

We are surrounded by a world that every day wants to consume you more and more, making you participate in its currents and making you believe to some extent that what you do is normal because everyone does. In the Word of the Lord we see how Jesus mentions that we must be the Salt of the Earth, the Light of the world, in short: BEING THE DIFFERENCE.

We see the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and we can analyze how his life is completely different from what the world was accustomed to. He came to give us a model of life, that model that we as Christians (followers or imitators of Jesus) must put into practice.

And is that the enemy is very clever, not for nothing the Bible refers to him as the ancient serpent, he will try to confuse you by making you believe that doing everything the world does nothing happens, that's where the Church today is falling In the error of seeing things in the world as something normal that leads her to participate in things that being sincere and analytical we could realize that she would not have to participate.

God has called us to be different, to show the world that we can live a holy life that is not mixed with the profane, to prove that we are no longer the same as before and that we have proposed in our hearts not to contaminate ourselves with the lies of the enemy. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith, the hearts of evil conscience purified, and the bodies washed with pure water.

A well-known preacher in one of his books says a phrase I like very much, I will paraphrase it: "We see the truths of God as if they were lies and the lies of the enemy as if they were true." And is that today it is easy to believe that a certain sin is not because everyone does, believe that walking in places that are not those of a child of God is not bad, because everyone goes there, believe that my vocabulary is normal Because it looks like everyone's, even when people do not differentiate your vocabulary from a person without Christ in their heart and a converted person.

For God's sake, we are doing it! Although it is true that we must go to the world to win others to God, it does not mean that the world wins over us and makes us one of them.

James 4: 8 - Draw near to God, and he will draw nigh unto you. Sinners, clean your hands; And you double-minded, purify your hearts.

It is time for us to wake up and realize that we have been called to BE DIFFERENT, we have been called to testify to the world that Christ can transform the lives of those who seek Him from the heart, we need to stand up and show with our attitudes, our Way of speaking and directing ourselves in the life that we are Christians born again.

Have you proposed in your heart to make the difference in an indifferent world? Let us ask the Lord to place in our hearts a desire and a determination to live each day of our existence remembering that we have been called to make the difference.

Come on! Let's show the world that Christ has changed our lives!

GOOD THINGS

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

Good things
Hebrews 12: 2 2 looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Are you going through a difficult time? Maybe he just lost his job, or is he? Suffering for a loss in your family? Or maybe you just are not sure something good can happen in your life.

Whatever you're going through, I want you to know that you're not alone! And something good can come out of the difficult situation you are in. God has promised.

Jesus also experienced hard times ... the way to the cross was not of little importance, but He had to decide to cross that path. He even asked God if this was really necessary. (But we know how this wonderful love story ends.)

In our daily lives, we have to believe that when we go through difficult times, the result will be good. But when we are suffering, probably one of the most difficult things for us to remember is that God is going to solve it for our good.

The Only One You Can Trust
Romans 8:28 And we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, that is, those who are called according to their purpose is a key scripture for Christians when we go through difficult or disappointing moments . When something does not happen the way we would like it to happen, we can believe that God will solve it for good. To that place you can always return in all kinds of tests.

Now, this does not mean that the tests are necessarily good, but God can make them work for our good because He is awesome.

It's really comforting to believe that things will work out for good ... Even on a day like Good Friday when nothing made sense and everything was difficult, God solved everything for good, bringing the greatest blessing that humanity has received!
We can believe that Friday was good for the result he brought, not because of what happened at the time.

God is a wonderful being! To be able to take the bad things and use them for our good!
I have gone through a very difficult time, I have looked back and I think I would not be even half the person I am now if that had not happened. Many of us have not experienced this? Would not we like to grow alone in good times?

But it seems that we only really grow in difficult times. I believe it is because it is in those moments that we really come to God in our relationship with Him on a deeper level. Why? Because we have to do it. It is our only option if we want to overcome the difficulty. When we trust in God, He will give us the peace of knowing that He can make bad things work for our good.

Philippians 4:13 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.

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 .

§ to begin a brand new year with amazing possibilities

§ to leave the failures of last year behind

§ to correct past faults of character, word and action

§ to seek forgiveness from others and from God

§ to learn from past mistakes

§ to begin to love God and others more fully

§ to be more active in our prayers to the Father

§ to repair broken relationships

§ to depend on God for our eternal future

§ to be a responsible father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, and friend

§ to clear our conscience and maintain a good one

§ to read and study God sword with greater fervency

§ to develop a more intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ

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 –
