GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (October 6, 2026)

WORD OF GOD

Moving Forward in Victory:

“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.” (2 Corinthians 2:14)

The path of life is full of challenges, but this verse reminds us of a powerful truth. In Christ, we are led to victory. Victory does not depend on our own strength, but on the presence of God who goes before us, opening paths, even in the most difficult situations.

Moving forward in victory means trusting that God is in control. Even when we face apparent defeats, we can believe that God uses all things for our good. Every step taken in faith becomes part of a greater purpose that shapes our character and strengthens our hope.

When you feel discouraged, remember: you are not alone. God walks with you. He guides your steps and uses your life to spread His knowledge and love like a fragrance that reaches everyone around you. This means that even in your most difficult moments, there is a positive impact that goes beyond what you can see.

Rise up with courage! Look ahead with the certainty that your story is in the Creator's hands. He promises that, in Christ, you are more than a conqueror. Let the peace and assurance of victory in God fill your heart. No matter how high the obstacle, keep walking.

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37)

Christ has already won the victory on the cross, and you follow in the footsteps of a God who never fails. Take a step forward in faith, knowing that in Christ, every day is an opportunity to experience and share the victory He has already prepared for you!

Walking and Conquering in Christ:

* Trust in God: surrender your worries to Him and follow His direction with unwavering faith.

* Pray and meditate on God's Word: seek strength through the Bible to face challenges with wisdom and courage.

* Spread the love of Christ in your daily actions. Be a light and inspiration to others.

To pray:

Lord, I thank you for your victory in my life. I ask for strength to face challenges, wisdom to make decisions, and courage to persevere. Help me to reflect your love in all I do and spread your peace wherever I go. In Jesus' name, amen.

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (September 6, 2026)

DAILY DEVOTIONAL:

He Heals All Your Diseases:

“He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,” (Psalm 103:3)

Psalm 103:3 tells us a truth about God’s character: He is the God who heals. This healing goes far beyond the physical body. God also heals our emotional wounds, past traumas, soul pain, and even spiritual sicknesses that separate us from Him.

How often do we feel down, sick inside, without the strength to go on? In those moments, it’s easy to think we are alone. But Psalm 103 reminds us that God is present, ready to restore what has been broken within us. He is the Physician of physicians. His healing has no limits: it reaches the wounded heart, the weary mind, and the weakened body.

This promise doesn't mean we will never face illness or hardship, but it assures us that God is with us in every one of those struggles. God offers us comfort, strength, and often, healing itself. Sometimes He heals immediately. Other times, healing is a process. But in every situation, we can trust that He is working for our good.

The verse also invites us to remember all that God has already done. He forgives, restores, transforms, and heals. This is His nature. When we approach God with faith and humility, we open the door to His grace so that it can transform us inside and out.

If you are facing any illness today, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, remember that God sees your pain. Cry out to Him, trust in His Word, and believe: He is still the God who heals all our afflictions.

Trust in the God who heals:

* *Pray with faith and sincerity: open your heart to God, tell Him your pain, your fear, and your limitations. God hears sincere prayer.

* * *Nourish yourself with God's Word: Read and meditate daily on verses that speak of healing, faith, and hope. The Bible is a source of life and comfort.

* *Seek support in fellowship with other Christians: Don't face your difficulties alone. Share your pain with people who trust in faith. The church is a place of mutual care, where we are reminded that we are not alone.

For prayer:

Lord God, you are our healer. I cry out to you in faith, asking you to heal my wounds of body, soul, and heart. Strengthen my faith, renew my hope, and envelop me in your peace. I trust in your power and love. Watch over me in every area of ​​my life. In Jesus' name, amen.

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (June 6, 2026)

DAILY DEVOTIONAL:

He Is in Our Midst:

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)

The presence of God is not just a truth we learn; it is an experience that touches the heart. God draws near, making himself present in the details. He walks beside us in good times and, especially, in difficult times. He desires intimacy, conversation, and permanence. From the beginning, his heart has always been to meet us, to call us by name, to guide us with love.

When we gather to worship him, when we pray sincerely, and when we meditate on his Word, we open ourselves to perceive his presence. God is in our midst. He is there when there are broken hearts, genuine faith, and when the name of Jesus is exalted above all else. We often expect to feel something extraordinary, but God's presence is also manifested in silence, in a peace that surpasses all understanding, and in the certainty that we are not alone.

Seeking God's presence involves setting aside time for prayer, reading the Bible, and fellowship with other brothers and sisters in faith. It's not just about asking for blessings, but about desiring to be with Him, to hear His voice, and to align our lives with His will. The more we seek Him, the more sensitive we become to His action within us and in our surroundings.

Furthermore, God's presence is revealed in obedience. When we choose to live according to His teachings, He manifests Himself in our attitudes, words, and decisions. We become instruments of His love, reflecting His light in a world that desperately needs it.

Let us live aware that He is in our midst, today and always. May our greatest search not only be for answers, but for the constant presence of the living God, who transforms, heals, and saves.

How to Cultivate God's Presence in Daily Life

* Set aside time each day to pray, talk to God, listen to His voice, and cultivate a constant and intimate relationship.

* Meditate on the Word, allowing the Scriptures to transform your thoughts, strengthen your faith, correct your ways, and reveal the Father's heart.

* Live in obedience, choosing to love others, serve with humility, forgive with grace, and always reflect Christ in your daily actions.

For prayer: Lord God, I thank you for your constant presence in my life. Teach me to seek you sincerely, to listen to your voice, and to rest in your love. May my heart be sensitive to your Spirit and may my actions glorify your name. Abide with me, strengthen my faith, and guide my steps each day. In Jesus' name, amen.

The Spirit of Wisdom

JUNE 5, 2026

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.

Ephesians 5:18

Recommended Reading: Romans 8:5-17

When God gave Moses instructions for building the tabernacle, He appointed a man named Bezalel to be master craftsman for the project. God “filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship” (Exodus 31:2-3). The apostle Paul picked up on the connection between wisdom and being filled with the Spirit in Ephesians 5:15-18.

Paul cautioned the Ephesians about being foolish and wasting the opportunities of living for God. He equated being wise with understanding and carrying out God’s will, exhorting them not to be “drunk with wine” but to “be filled with the Spirit.” Just as a master craftsman could not carry out his tasks if he was drunk with wine, so the Christian cannot carry out God’s will by living a wasteful and uncontrolled life. Part of the fruit of the Spirit is self-control (Galatians 5:23).

Imagine yourself as a master craftsman, constructing a life that is pleasing to the Lord and fruitful in His work. Purpose each day to be filled with the Spirit so that your gifts and talents are not wasted.

The more we are filled with the Holy Spirit, the more we shall glorify the Lord Jesus.

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (May 6, 2026)

DAILY DEVOTIONAL:

What is your true need?

“When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven.’” (Mark 2:5)

The episode narrated in this verse is well-known. Jesus was in a town, inside a house. The people were so excited to see and hear him that the place was completely full; no one could get in or out. In that town, there was a paralytic with dear friends who agreed to take their needy friend to the great miracle worker so that he could heal him.

The group of brave souls couldn't get through the front door because of the crowd. Their solution was creative: they made a hole in the roof and lowered the paralytic through it! Seeing the great faith of these people, Jesus said, “Your sins are forgiven.”

Jesus' action surprises even those who pay close attention to the text. The paralytic's need appears to be physical healing, but when he comes before Jesus, he receives forgiveness. That's because Jesus knows our needs better than we do or those around us. Perhaps you're asking the Lord for something, but God is giving you what you truly need.

Know Yourself:

* Ask God to open your eyes so you can see your real needs.

* Continue to pray and seek the Lord Jesus, as the paralytic did.

* Surround yourself with faithful friends who will help you overcome difficulties.

To pray:

Lord Jesus, I want to seek you with as much love and faith as the paralytic in the Bible story. Help me see my real needs and give me what I truly need. Lord, I trust in your wisdom. So I pray and ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Strengthen your faith and trust in God today:

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (5/30/2026)

WORD OF GOD

What We Were and What We Are:

“For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:3-7)

When we remember who we were before we knew Jesus, we are amazed at the immense love of God. He didn't wait for us to take the first step. In His goodness, God reached out and touched us when we were still rebellious, foolish, and controlled by our sinful desires and emotions.

God didn't dwell on our failings or label us incorrigible. He focused on His great love for us and His desire to reconcile us to Himself. That's why He sent Jesus, and everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness and salvation for their soul.

Take a moment today to remember what God has done for you, the transformation you have experienced in your life, and the forgiveness He has granted you. Thanks to His mercy, today you can live a life filled with eternal hope, free from the power of death and the dominion of sin.

Express your gratitude to God today for His great love and choose to be faithful to Him at all times. You are His heir!

Live this day with joy and gratitude for your salvation.

Some people are difficult to love. Their words and attitudes are often harsh, their actions selfish, and no matter how hard we try, we struggle to see anything good in them. However, God not only loves them, but He also calls us to love them. How do we do this? By filling ourselves with God's love!

True love is something that springs from the heart. It is a firm decision that arises from the depths of our being, something that compels us to be understanding, kind, and forgiving, even when the other person does not reciprocate that love.

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (5/16/2026)

WORD OF GOD

Chosen with a Purpose:

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.” (John 15:16)

God did not choose us randomly or on a whim. Before the foundation of the world, He already had a plan for each of us. In John 15:16, Jesus reminds us that we did not choose Him, but that He called us and commissioned us to bear fruit. It is not just any fruit we must bear, but fruit that will last and glorify the Father.

Sometimes we may feel inadequate or doubt our calling, but the Word of God assures us that we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. God Himself chose us and gave us a mission.

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)

Notice that we are not chosen to hide or live just any old way. We have a calling: we must proclaim the wonders of the One who brought us out of darkness into his wonderful light.

This calling not only gives us identity but also a great responsibility. Matthew 5:16 exhorts us to let our light shine before others so that, seeing our good works, they may glorify God. It is not about seeking our own glory, but about reflecting God’s love and proclaiming His truth to the world.

Remember, then, that you are not here by chance. God has chosen you for a purpose. Live each day bearing fruit, proclaiming His truth, and being a light. Trust in God and allow His plan to unfold in your life.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

What does it mean to love?

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Love is much more than a feeling. It is a decision and a way of life. Feelings of affection and passion change and pass, but true love does not depend on those feelings.

To love is to care for others and desire their good. That means wanting justice and speaking the truth. Love involves putting aside selfishness and thinking of others. Instead of holding a grudge and trying to hurt others in response to an offense, the one who loves forgives and seeks reconciliation. This is how Jesus loved us when he died for us, even though we didn't deserve it.

To live in love:

*Don't think only of yourself, but also of those around you.

*Be honest and speak without hurting others.

*Instead of seeking revenge, forgive those who hurt you.

To pray:

Lord Jesus, teach me to love as you have loved me. I want to be more like you and show your love to the world through my life. Please help me to live in love, doing good to others. Amen.

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (May 8, 2026)

WORD OF GOD

Surrender everything into God's hands:

When we worry about something, it's because we aren't fully trusting in the Lord. If we have a problem, we should ask God for help and do our best to resolve it, but we must do so without worrying, because worry never helps resolve situations. If you want to break the power of worry, pray and surrender everything into the Lord's hands.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22)

You can be sure that when you bring your worries and anxieties before God, He will hear you. He will extend His hand to calm your anxiety and touch you with His powerful peace. There is no burden too heavy for God to bear. Speak to God today and place your worries and anxieties in His arms.

Speak to God and be filled with His incomparable presence. Your heart will find peace and your strength will be renewed in His presence. God will dry your tears and give you the courage you need to face your situation with faith and strength.

DIOS HABLA A NUESTRA VIDA (4/27/2026)

PALABRA DE DIOS :

3 cosas esenciales en la vida cristiana

Hay 3 cosas que no pueden faltar en la vida cristiana: fe, amor y esperanza.

Fe: Nos da la certeza de la salvación y nos acerca a Dios. “Fe es confiar en Dios y sus promesas, incluso cuando no podemos ver ni entender todo” (Hebreos 11:1).

El amor nos hace vivir según la voluntad de Dios, amándolo a él y a los demás. El amor es la esencia del carácter cristiano y el mayor de todos los mandamientos.

La esperanza mantiene nuestros corazones animados para seguir confiando en Cristo con perseverancia. Ella también nos enseña humildad, a ser menos egoístas y a dar la gloria a quien la merece: Jesús.

Hay algunos versículos que nos recuerdan la importancia de estas 3 realidades en la vida cristiana, lee estos:

“Y ahora permanecen la fe, la esperanza y el amor, estos tres; pero el mayor de ellos es el amor”.(1 Corintios 13:13)

El amor es la esencia de Dios. Y él debe estar por encima de todo en nuestras vidas. El amor es el gran mandamiento de Jesucristo: amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y al prójimo como a nosotros mismos.

“Pero nosotros, que somos del día, seamos sobrios, habiéndonos vestido con la coraza de fe y de amor, y con la esperanza de salvación como yelmo”.(1 Tesalonicenses 5:8)

La fe, el amor y la esperanza actúan como piezas fundamentales para nuestra protección y edificación. Juntos actúan como una armadura de Dios en la vida del creyente. Estos tres elementos forman la base de una vida cristiana saludable, motivando al cristiano a vivir en fe y obediencia, sirviendo con amor y esperanza en la gracia de Cristo.

¡Que el Señor nos guíe siempre firmemente en estas tres realidades, para que nuestra vida esté llena de fe, esperanza y amor!

WORD OF GOD

Trust in the Grace and Care of the Shepherd:

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; he leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:1-4)

Psalm 23 is an excellent text for meditating on God’s goodness and care. If you have the Good Shepherd by your side, you have nothing to fear. He will guide you and care for your life, even when you go through dark times and face mortal dangers.

According to this well-known psalm, you can trust God for the following reasons:

*He is your God and protector, always with you.

*His presence brings rest to your life.

*He shepherds you, guiding you on the path you should walk.

*Even in the midst of danger or uncertainty, He does not abandon you.

*He sustains and helps you.

*He encourages you to persevere through life's difficulties.

Have you experienced the Shepherd's care and love? Today, offer praise and words of gratitude for His constant faithfulness in your life.

“I love you, O Lord, my strength. O Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” (Psalm 18:1-2)

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (4/20/2026)

WORD OF GOD

Your faith will be strengthened by these verses:

God uses the small things of this world to do great things. God is the one who makes your faith grow. He doesn't require you to be perfect or very talented to perform miracles in your life. All you need is a little faith and the will to follow Jesus.

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows up it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” (Matthew 13:31-32)

Do you want to grow and become stronger in your faith? Seek God every day. Read His Word, spend time with Him, and allow Him to speak to you. Let the seed of the gospel grow in your heart, strengthen it, and serve as support and encouragement to all those around you.

Extend the kingdom of God: love with God's love, speak words of strength that bring hope to all who come into contact with you. Strengthen your faith with the following verses and take action. Help transform the world for the glory of God!

“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” (1 John 5:4-5)

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

“This is the word of faith we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:8b-9)

Strengthen your faith!

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (4/18/2026)

WORD OF GOD

Come to me as you are:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

These words of Jesus are an eternal invitation of love and mercy. He doesn't ask you to be perfect, to have all the answers, or to hide your wounds. On the contrary, the Lord calls each one of us just as we are: tired, afflicted, overwhelmed, without strength. It is in this state that he reveals himself as true rest.

We often carry burdens we no longer need to bear: old guilt, fears about the future, daily worries. We try to be strong on our own, but our soul cries out for relief. Jesus invites us to lay everything at his feet. When we are freed from the weight, we discover that his grace is sufficient and his yoke is easy. He doesn't condemn us, but restores us.

The world may offer temporary solutions, but only in Christ do we find the peace that surpasses all understanding. He accepts us with our flaws and transforms us with his love. True change begins not when we make ourselves worthy, but when we recognize our need for him.

Today, listen to that voice calling you: "Come to me." It doesn't matter if life has hurt you, if you're lost in doubt, or if the path discourages you. The Lord receives you with open arms. He doesn't reject broken hearts, but welcomes and strengthens them.

Come to him just as you are. Bring your tears, your fears, your story. Christ is the rest and refuge of the soul. In him you will find hope, strength, and inexhaustible love.

Accept the invitation today and rest in the Lord, for only in him is there abundant life.

WORD OF GOD

God Who Guides Us in the Desert:

“The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day and by night.” (Exodus 13:21)

There are times when life feels like a harsh, dry, and endless desert. Everything seems difficult. We get tired, we face enormous problems, and even worse, we feel alone. We may feel exhausted, without strength, as if there is no refuge in sight.

But even in the midst of the desert, God is with us. We are not alone. You may be facing an illness, a financial crisis, conflicts in your family, or some other burden that seems too great. But remember that God is still by your side. Even though the road may seem long and hard, He does not abandon you. God is there with you, guiding you and giving you strength, just as He did with the people of Israel.

For 40 years, they wandered through the desert, but they were never alone. God guided them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. These pillars reminded them again and again, day and night, that His presence was with them. He had not abandoned them!

On this day, in the midst of your desert, God is also your guide and your faithful companion. Perhaps you don't see a pillar of fire, but you do notice and perceive the signs of His love and care. It might be a word of encouragement, an unexpected act of kindness, or that peace you feel in the midst of chaos.

Take a moment to recognize how God is working in your life, even now in the midst of your desert. Thank Him for His presence, His faithfulness, and His constant love. He is the God who never leaves you, the One who walks with you every step of the way, even in the desert.

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIVES (4/15/2026)

WORD OF GOD

Discover God's wonderful love:

In the parable of the prodigal son, a son asked his father for his inheritance in advance, left, and lost everything. When he became poor, he repented and returned home to ask his father for forgiveness. When he returned, the father, overjoyed, threw a big party! God is our Father and is always ready to forgive us when we repent.

No matter how difficult or ugly your past may be, God's forgiveness is complete. When you sincerely repent before Him, His love and forgiveness cover everything you have done. In God, there is a new opportunity to live according to His will and purpose.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

Just as the prodigal son returned home and his father welcomed him with open arms, so the Lord welcomes us when we come to Him in repentance. He forgives us, cleanses us from all unrighteousness, and shows us the way to walk hand in hand with Him.

If you haven't already, open your heart to God's love. Confess your sins to Him and receive His forgiveness today. God's wonderful love will illuminate your life, helping you to always live according to His will. There is great blessing for those who open their hearts to the Father's love. Don't miss out!

“Come, let us reason together,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.” 19 Are you willing to obey? They will eat the good things of the land! (Isaiah 1:18-19)
