De la abundancia del corazon

Construyendo personas de sustancia para obras de poder Somos hijos de Dios, Amigos Con todo lo que está pasando en el mundo, parece un poco surrealista que las noticias están dominadas por algunos atletas ricos que se arrodillan en protesta. Lo mejor que puedo decir, la protesta está motivada por el deseo de detener las … Continue reading De la abundancia del corazon

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Building People of Substance for Works of Power Let's just follow Jesus, friend. Back in 1983, when I was just about to get out of Bible school, the Holy Spirit spoke to me by tongues and interpretation. He said, “A life lived selfishly is a life wasted. The only reason for a man to live … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Contend for the Supernatural: From You to Y’all

You are Christ's body--that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything.  (1 Corinthians 12:27 MSG) The power of the Spirit was never meant to be confined to a platform in an auditorium.  Every believer has a part to play and … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: From You to Y’all

Contend for the Supernatural: We Are Connected

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.   (Romans 12:4-5 NLT) The Church is not a place you go, or a club you join.  The Church is the … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: We Are Connected

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Let's pray, Friend! I don’t like unspoken prayer requests. That’s odd, I know, but I find it hard to pray for something if I don’t know what it is. Prayer is based on faith. To pray in faith, to be in agreement, I need to know what I’m praying for. If I don’t know what … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Contend for the Supernatural: Everybody Plays

You are Christ's body--that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything.  (1 Corinthians 12:27 MSG) As many times as we have heard it, it's still true: Every believer has a part in the Body of Christ.  In fact, every one … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Everybody Plays

De la Abundancia del Corazon

En Espíritu y en verdad, Amigo. Años atrás, en los 1980’s cuando por primera vez asistía a una Iglesia carismática, me sorprendió el estilo que tenían para adorar, más que eso, note una intensidad y una participación a la que no estaba acostumbrado. Eso me llamo mi atención, la prioridad en la Iglesia es adorar … Continue reading De la Abundancia del Corazon

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Building People of Substance for Works of Power OK, Friend, let's do this! Many years ago, in my desperation to stop drinking, I stumbled into a 12 Step meeting. At the end of the discussion, we all stood, held hands, and recited the Lord’s Prayer. Though I had not been in church for a very … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Contend for the Supernatural: It’s an “us” thing.

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light.    (1 Peter 2:9 NLT) The paradigm for church … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: It’s an “us” thing.

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

In spirit and truth, Amigos. Back in 1980 when I first attended a Charismatic church, I was taken aback by the style of worship. More than that, I noticed an intensity and participation that I was not used to. Those things attracted me. The first priority of the Church is to worship the Lord. We … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart
