Passage: Acts 12:1-18 Key Verse: “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.” V. 15 “Can you believe it?” It was not the first time I asked my husband that question in a similar situation. Something extraordinary happened and another prayer was answered just in time. God showed up at the eleventh hour once again. I should not be surprised. This has happened countless times during my two decades as a Continue Reading

Warning Signs
I watched, amused, as people ran up the stairs of the stadium, dragging their bags, cameras and crying babies. Some had an awkward smile on their faces; others looked surprised to have found themselves completely soaked. Still others did not seem to have found much entertainment in getting wet. I glanced at the opposite side of the arena and realized that the seats that were so coveted before the beginning of the show sat empty now. Shamu and her friends had put on their best fin forward and Continue Reading
¡Señor, Estoy Desanimado!
Pasaje: Juan 21 Versículo Clave: “El les dijo: Echad la red a la derecha de la barca, y hallaréis. Entonces la echaron, y ya no la podían sacar, por la gran cantidad de peces.” V.6 Ellos habían estado pescando todo el día. Al paso de las horas, todos se cansaron y se desanimaron. Tenían cuentas por pagar y bocas que alimentar. Sin embargo, ni un sólo pez había sido capturado por su gran red. Al llegar el amanecer, una persona extraña gritaba desde la orilla del mar: “¿Amigos, han Continue Reading
Declare Vida (Parte 2) – O Encorajador
Chave bíblica: “Como maçãs de ouro em salvas de prata, assim é a palavra dita a seu tempo” (Provérbios 25:11). Uma sala ornamentada, ricamente adornada com painéis de prata e frutas esculpidas em ouro. Uma peça de decoração ímpar. Esta simples metáfora é usada por Salomão para dar o maior elogio possível para uma palavra dita no momento certo. Eu lembro dos sentimentos que tais palavras provocavam em mim quando criança. Em qualquer ocasião em que um adulto reconhecesse algo que fiz Continue Reading
Estática Espiritual Peligrosa
Versículo Clave: “¿Por qué me llamáis Señor, Señor, y no hacéis lo que yo digo?” Lucas 6:46 El locutor de la radio tuvo mi atención. El tema era intrigante. Sus argumentos eran apasionados y convincentes. Yo había estado escuchando la entrevista por 15 minutos, esperando por una parte específica del programa. Después de comerciales, el locutor continuó con la entrevista e hizo la pregunta, que era lo que yo tanto esperaba. Subí el volumen e incliné mi cabeza hacia los altavoces. Lo que Continue Reading
Before You Take The Next Step…
“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act”. Psalm 37:5 “I should call him.” “I’ll miss the opportunity if I don’t act right now.” “Sure, count me in. I’ll do it!” Patience is a virtue I don’t naturally possess. Only with the help of the Holy Spirit am I able to wait upon God. A natural “type A” personality, it’s hard for me to stand on the sidelines, not moving a finger. My tendency is to say “yes, I’ll do it!” and to get busy making things happen instead of waiting on Continue Reading
