God's direction.

God's direction. GPS Get God’s Direction
Back in the old days when people were lost they had to stop and ask for directions.  Now, with smart phones and GPS we can be lost by ourselves.  With just the touch of a phone screen we can find our way back to the road we need to be on.  If only life were that easy!
Isaiah 48: 17-18: 17 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, who teaches you profitably, who leads you in the way you walk. 18 I wish you would look to my commandments! Then your peace was like a river, and your justice like the waves of the sea.

I often feel lost and unsure.  Am I doing what I am supposed to be doing?  Is this what God wants me to be doing?  And I admit, I’m not the kind of person that likes to stop and ask others for directions.  I don’t want other people to know that I don’t know if the path I’m on is the right one.  My pride can leave me not only feeling lost, but feeling alone.  If only I had the proper directions to keep my life running smoothly!

God our Heavenly Father, loving Counselor, peace-giving Friend, and gentle Shepherd is laden with gifts that will change our lives. However, we must be prayerfully attentive to the direction He has for usand to discern the path He has chosen from the one we have chosen for ourselves. When we follow God's will and live according to His divine plan, our perspective shifts. Our vision expands and we begin to look at life not in terms of what we can do, but what God can do through us. We soon realize that nothing can distract, destroy, discourage, disappoint or defeat us when we follow God's direction.

Asking God is not only a good place to start, it is the only place to start!I have never understood why anyone would come to me before approaching the Creator of the universe. After all, God has a blueprint plan of our lives, written in the palm of His hand. "See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me" (Isaiah 49:16).

My friends, it is possible to lock onto the goal and purpose that God has for your lifeBut it takes fervent prayer and a desire to accept His will, whatever direction that may take,to begin to see His direction. John 6:35 

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
My prayer for you today is that you will become convicted to consistently ask God for His direction in your life. When He shows the path for you to follow, then trust Him and His plan with all your heart. Charge down that path with all you've got. Pursue His will with a passion. You'll quickly find that there's no more fulfilling, peaceful, and thankful place to be in this life than soundly in the center of God's will.

Power of the Cross

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


Power of the Cross
When the Apostle Paul went to the great and intellectual Grecian city of Corinth, he said, “I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). When Paul described what his message was, he said, “We preach Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23).
To the people of Corinth the preaching of the cross was foolishness, nonsense. But Paul said, “The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men” (1 Corinthians 1:25). In that great intellectual center, the cross of Christ was a stumbling block to the children of Israel, and to the Gentiles it was sheer idiocy.
This Gospel of Christ and Him crucified is still foolishness to millions who are perishing all over the world today. How few people recognize that the answer to all the world’s problems can be found at the foot of the cross.
As we stand at the cross today and gaze on a confused and frustrated world, God asks the question, “Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age?
“We preach Christ crucified.” This is the focal point of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a picture of blood flowing from Christ’s veins as He hung on the cross. The message of shed blood is repugnant to many, and they turn from such a gory sight, feeling that their delicate sensibilities have been outraged. Many people will accept Christ’s character, but they reject His crucifixion.

When we look at the cross, we see several things:
First, in the cross we see the clearest evidence of the world’s guilt. At the cross of Christ, sin reached its climax. Its most terrible display took place at Calvary. It was never blacker nor more hideous. We see the human heart laid bare and its corruption fully exposed. The Scripture teaches that man’s heart is desperately wicked.  The answer is found deep in the human heart. Human nature has not changed, and as we stand and gaze at the cross, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Second, in the cross we see the strongest proof of God’s hatred of sin. God has stated that the soul that sins shall die (Ezekiel 18:20) and that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
To gain a clear understanding of God’s attitude toward sin, we only have to consider the purpose of Christ’s death. The Scripture says, “Without shedding of blood there is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). Here is a positive statement that there can be no forgiveness of sin unless our debt has been paid.
God will not tolerate sin. He condemns it and demands payment for it. God could not remain a righteous God and compromise with sin. His holiness and His justice demand the death penalty.
Third, in the cross we see a glorious exhibition of God’s love. We look out upon the world of nature, and in the provisions and plans made for our happiness we discover a revelation of God’s love. Yet as wonderful as these things are in revealing divine love, nothing is comparable to the sacrifice of Calvary. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

The Power of God

PASTOR Pastor Eduardo Alves WAS PREACHING TODAY AT ADORACION CHURCH:
The Power of God
God knows us well, as we are, although we sometimes hide some of ourselves from the people around us, there is no way to hide something from the eyes of our Lord, He created us and knows perfectly well what our strengths are and what our weaknesses
"He said to me: My grace is sufficient for you; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will gladly rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. "2 Corinthians 12: 9

God allows our weaknesses
And so that the greatness of the revelations did not exalt me exceedingly, I was given a sting in my flesh, a messenger of Satan who slaps me, lest I greatly exalt myself. versiculos 7
Why does God allow weaknesses? The apostle Paul recognizes in today's reading that men tend to boast and open the door to haughtiness when we begin to be successful and even more so when we feel blessed by God in everything, it is easy for us to forget the grace of God when everything we are doing well

God is the solution to our weaknesses
Concerning which three times I have prayed to the Lord, to remove it from me. And he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will gladly rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me verses 8-9
There are weak areas of your life that exist in you for the sole purpose of experiencing the power of God in your life, in other words, those weaknesses and temptations, you can never overcome them without the help of God! They are in your life so that by giving control of your life to your Savior

The Power of God in our weaknesses
1. Be part of your daily prayer to ask God for His grace and power to face your weaknesses and overcome all temptations that come. If you abide in God, his grace will remain in you.
2. If you are going through weakness take a few minutes with a genuine, transparent and repentant heart to speak with God, expose before Him how you feel, ask for his strength and wisdom, take care of Him and persevere in pleasing Him.
3. If your weaknesses are out of your control, approach leaders in your church or people who love God close to you for help, all members of a body from time to time need the support of other members to be healed .
Something of what I have learned during my Christian life from personal experience is that the words that Jesus once said about being separated from Him could not do, they are true! And I have seen it in the area of weaknesses and temptations
The Power of God God knows us well, as we are, although we sometimes hide some of ourselves from the people around us,…
