The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy! Springs will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams will water the wasteland. The parched ground will become a pool, and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land. Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish where desert … Continue reading Sunday Blessing: Haulin’ Water

Contend for the Supernatural: Don’t Leave Home Without It.
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient—in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Don’t Leave Home Without It.
Contend for the Supernatural: Do and Teach
Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen Me do.

Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Don't settle, Amigos! The last sentence of Acts Chapter 1 reads, “They drew names to choose an apostle. Matthias was chosen and joined the eleven apostles. (GW)” The next verses (Acts 2:1-4) depict the coming of the Holy Spirit to empower the Church for witness.

Sunday Blessing: Stay Hungry
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness. (1 Peter 2:2-3 NLT)

I don’t need to go to church.” Assuming these individuals are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they have been born of the Spirit (John 3:6), then … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Sunday Blessing: Let it Rain!
Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants. (Deuteronomy 32:2 NLT)
Avoiding Vain Repetition
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. (Matthew 6:7 NKJV) Humans are prone to falling into patterns. It's just part of our nature. When we let patterns continue without regard to their meaning, we have vain … Continue reading Avoiding Vain Repetition
De la Abundancia del Corazon
La Lluvia viene. Cada mañana me despierto pensando que de seguro Jesús viene hoy, me cuesta mucho trabajo reconocer el mundo en el que estamos viviendo, las normas culturales e instituciones de mi juventud y mis medianos anos, pareciera que los hicieron a un lado, me pone triste el saber que aquellos que no creen … Continue reading De la Abundancia del Corazon
