Overcome Evil with Good!

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Rom. 12:21

I must admit that throughout my entire life, I have struggled with anger. When I’m confronted with evil, I mostly respond with negative words rather than being positive. I truly believe it has to do with my pride. I feel that people should live up to my expectations even though I do not live up to God’s expectations for me. I repent and ask God for forgiveness at least 20 times a day because I commit the same sin again.

The Lord Jesus did not ignore Satan. He did not ignore evil. But He defeated all His enemies at the cross of Calvary with love He has for mankind. Scripture stated that, “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” Col. 2:15.

God’s prerogative in dealing with evil was to have victory over it and using the opportunity for good. Calvary was an official act against the kingdom of darkness. God and evil are antagonistic because evil was very reason for the redemptive act of Christ on Calvary.

If I’m a true disciple of Jesus Christ, then I will manifest Calvary principles. I have been attacked verbally and lied on and I know this is a tool of the enemy. Just like Jesus in every situation He confronted he looked at His enemies with eternal eyes. He saw what people could become through His love and compassion.

Jesus stated that He came to save that which was lost to evil, not condemn those who are bound by Satan. He did this out of mercy and love. Do we deserve mercy, No. But God in His love towards us through the sacrifice of Jesus did not give us justice for our rebellion, rather mercy.

¡Presentando Nuestras Credenciales!

Devuélveme el gozo de tu salvación, Señor, y susténtame con espíritu dispuesto. Entonces enseñaré a los transgresores tu camino y los pecadores se convertirán al. Salmo 51:12-13.

Mi vida como discípulo debe ser consciente de los derechos y privilegios del ministerio. Los vasos santos del tabernáculo eran dedicados con sangre porque eran un ministerio. Hebreos 9;21. Así como no puede haber remisión de pecados sin sangre, tampoco puede haber ministerio sin sangre. Ningún hombre tiene derecho a hablar o hacer cualquier otra cosa para Dios a menos que haya sido tocado por sangre, es decir, a menos que se le haya dado el derecho de hablar basándose en la muerte de Cristo en el Calvario.

Siempre que Dios trata con los hombres, siempre lo hace a través de los derechos de Jesucristo obtenidos en el Calvario. Así como un embajador debe presentar sus credenciales, así toda persona que sirve a Dios debe demostrar que ha sido tocada con la sangre del Calvario. Aparte de eso, no tiene ningún derecho a servir. ¿Tengo mis credenciales o soy un falso Profeta?

Pero hay otra cara de la moneda. El simple hecho de tener derecho a hablar no significa que acepte el privilegio. Muchos han rechazado el privilegio. El cuerpo de Cristo está lleno de miembros desfavorecidos, por su propio egoísmo, miedo o indiferencia. Se necesita sangre y aceite para llegar a ser un siervo de Dios. Sangre (Sacrificio) representa el llamado; El aceite (Espíritu Santo) representa poder. Ambos son necesarios para un servicio eficaz y fructífero.

El sumo sacerdote aplicaba continuamente la sangre y el aceite. Así que debo continuar revisando mi llamado y mi investidura. Los vasos de mi ministerio para Él deben estar diariamente bajo su mirada. Sólo entonces presento mis credenciales. Pero tenemos este tesoro en la tierra y en los vasos para que la excelencia del poder sea de Dios y no de nosotros mismos. 2 Corintios 4:7

Presenting Our Credentials!

Restored to me the joy of thy salvation Lord and sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors thy way and sinners will be converted to the. Psalms 51:12-13.

My life as a disciple must be aware of the rights and privileges of ministry. The holy vessels of the tabernacle were dedicated with blood because they were a ministry. Hebrews 9; 21. Just as there can be no remission of sins without blood, neither can there be a ministry without blood. No man has the right to speak or do anything else for God unless he has been touched by blood, that is, unless he has been given the right to speak based on Christ’s death on Calvary.

Whenever God deals with men, He always does so through the rights of Jesus Christ won at Calvary. Just as an ambassador must present his credentials, so every person who serves God must show that he has been touched with the blood of Calvary. Apart from that, he has no right to serve. Do I have my credentials, or am I a false Prophet?

But there is another side to the coin. Simply having the right to speak does not mean I accept the privilege. Many have rejected the privilege. The body of Christ is full of under privileged members, because of their own selfishness, fear, or indifference. It takes both blood and oil to become a servant of God. Blood (Sacrifice) stands for the call; oil (Holy Spirit) stands for power. Both are necessary for effective fruitful service.

The high priest applied the blood, and the oil continually. So must I continue to review my call and endowment. The vessels of my ministry for Him must come daily under his eye. Only then do I present my credentials. But we have this treasure in earth and vessels that the excellency of the power May be of God and not from ourselves. 2 Corinthians.4:7

La espina de Pablo

Por favor lea las siguientes escrituras y la explicación atentamente.
2 Cor. 12:7-9. Santiago 1:12-18. 2 Pedro 1:2-4. Hechos 10:38.

Introducción
Algunos creen que Dios le dio el aguijón a Pablo para mantenerlo humilde. Este no es el caso. Dios Padre le dijo a Pablo que Su gracia (habilidad) en su vida era suficiente para manejar este ataque de Satanás. La obra redentora de Jesucristo en la cruz del Calvario fue y es más que suficiente para vencer el mal de cualquier tipo. Incluyendo el aguijón de Pablo que le dio Satanás.
Hay conceptos erróneos con respecto a las Escrituras, 2 Cor. 12:7-9. Por lo tanto, necesito indicar que debemos mirar otras escrituras para entender también lo que se dice aquí.
En 2 Pedro 1: 2-4 dice que la gracia (capacidad) y la paz de Dios se multiplican para el conocimiento de Él. La gracia es la capacidad de Dios obrando a través de nosotros y la paz es nuestra confianza en Él. Dios no usará nada de Satanás hacia sus hijos. Es como decir: Dios le da cáncer a una persona para bendecirla. Esto es una mentira del abismo del infierno. Tenemos un padre amoroso que se complace en bendecir a Sus hijos. Todo lo que el Señor le estaba diciendo a Pablo era que estaba siendo atacado por Satanás, pero la habilidad que Dios le dio a Pablo en el nuevo nacimiento fue más que suficiente para superar cualquier ataque del maligno. Esto, debemos entender que Dios nunca usará a Satanás ni a ninguno de sus demonios hacia sus hijos. Este no es el carácter de Dios. Dios declaró en Su nombre que ordenaremos a los demonios que abandonen a la gente. Dios le estaba diciendo a Pablo que su habilidad al usar el nombre de Jesús era más que suficiente para su vida y ministerio como lo es de igual manera para nosotros el día de hoy.

Paul’s Thorn

Please read the following scriptures and read carefully the scriptures and the explanation below.
2 Cor. 12:7-9. James 1:12-18. 2 Peter 1:2-4. Acts 10:38.

Introduction

Some believe that Paul’s thorn was given by God to keep Paul humble. This is not the case. Father God told Paul that His grace (ability) in his life, was sufficient to handle this attack from Satan. The redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary was and is more than sufficient to overcome evil of any kind. Including Paul’s thorn that was given to him by Satan.
There are misconceptions regarding the scripture, 2 Cor. 12:7-9. Therefore, I need to indicate that we should look at other scriptures to also understand what was said here. In 2 Peter 1: 2-4 says that God’s grace (ability) and peace is multiplied to the knowledge of Him. Grace is God’s ability working through us and peace our trust in Him. God will not use anything from Satan towards his children. It’s like saying, God gives cancer to a person to bless them. This is a lie from the pit of hell. We have a loving father who takes pleasure in blessing His children. All the Lord was saying to Paul was that he was being attacked by Satan, but God ‘s ability given it to Paul in the new birth, was more than enough to overcome any of the attack delivered by the evil one. This, we must understand God will never use Satan or any of his demons towards his children. This is not the character of God. God stated in His name we will command demons to leave people. God was telling Paul that His ability through using the name of Jesus was more than sufficient for his life and ministry as it is for us as believers today.

Go Ye
Mark 16: 15-28
Acting on the Word of God
Introduction
This is a Pic and a couple of brothers from the church in Cancun working in evangelism and teaching the word of God to these construction workers. We must understand that we need to reach out and put the word of God into action. We must understand that believing demands action and creates action. Mental ascent only admires and admits a truth, but does not act on it. Acting on the word of God is letting Jesus Christ act through you. Acting on the word, then gives God his power to move on your behalf. Given the word, its place is giving Christ his position of Lordship in your life. The problem of believing is made simple when we know that it is acting on what God has spoken. In the parable of the wise builder is very plain, that everyone who hears the teachings of Christ, and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise person who built their house upon the rock. Jesus and His word are one and doing the word is letting Jesus have control in our lives. He that does not do the word never built upon a solid foundation. We must become doers of the word, or else the entire structure of our lives, family, and even faith is destroyed. You can tell whether a person is building on sand, or on the rock, by noting whether they are practicing or not, whether they are acting on the word. “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.” James 1; 22-25 KJV
But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth]. For if anyone only listens to the word without obeying it, he is like a man who looks very carefully at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he immediately forgets what he looked like. But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience]. James 1; 22-25 Amplified Version

The Self-Deluded Person
Many people think that hair knowledge is sufficient. I’m not against education. I have advanced degrees in psychology, sociology, criminology, as well as theology.
What I do know, though, is that anyone who thinks that knowledge is all that they need to succeed will fail miserably. It is the doer of the word, the man who practices it, lives it, walks in it, speaks the word of God, the bills into his own life, who got honors. There’s a grave danger of diluting ourselves when we think we just have had knowledge. When I was in seminary, I learned Greek and Hebrew. I knew the history of the word of God but I met many people who did not practice it. It’s when you come to a hard place in your life when your back is up against the wall, when one turns to God. Living the Word of God is practicing the Word of God.
Characteristics of Self Delusion
The scriptures described people who are who can’t make up their mind. They are always vacillating from one extreme to another. From one idea to another to one. This type of person is called double minded. It has to do with loyalty. It is a matter of the heart. What or whom do we hold dear.

• How we Start.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Rom. 12: 1-2.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. Rom. 12: 1-2. Amplified Bible
• Being Double Minded.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith (the heart), with no doubting (the mind), for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:5-8. (KJV)
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:5-8. (NLT)

The Lifestyle of a Doer of the Word of God.
Unless you were Doer of the Word, you’re not a believer of the word. You have nothing more than a Mental Assent without action, a mere empty profession of religious words. Jesus would call them a sand foundation, just the sand house made by idle hands on the seashore to be destroyed by the next incoming tide. What a danger is a religion of words if there is no corresponding action, if no one is a doer of the word, he is a foolish builder on the sand on his five physical senses.
Understand this, if you are a doer of the word, you know that the word is living in your lips. It’s just as all the masters will get himself. Jesus himself said that He is a living word in you. He is with you in the presence of the Almighty, Holy Spirit that lives within us. He hasn’t left us alone, and he will not leave us alone. His ability is our ability. His strength is our strength. As we begin to do the word, He begins to do it us and through us.
James 2; 20 (Moffat Translation) says faith without deeds is barren. It is a mirror empty words that sound lovely and beautiful, but they are never crystallize or made real. Weymouth translation says faith without corresponding actions is of no effect. So, what it is saying is that we must Act on the Word regardless of our feelings people rely on their feelings, instead of relying on what the Word says.

If we need to love those who are difficult scripture says that the Love of God, agape love dwells within us. We must act in love no matter what our flesh (physical senses) says or how we feel.
The Doer of the Word sees answered prayer. People healed, saved, and delivered from the devil.
“You, my children, who belong to God have already defeated this spirit, because the one who lives in you is far stronger than the anti-Christ in the world. The agents of the anti-christ are children of the world, they speak the world’s language and the world, of course, pays attention to what they say. I John 4:4,
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Cor. 6:1
What shall we then say to these things? (What things?) If God be for us, who can be against us?
Rom. 8:31

¡La oración de Fe!
Fe significa ·estar seguro [la seguridad; o la realidad tangible; o el fundamento seguro] de las cosas que esperamos y ·saber que algo es real, aunque no lo veamos [la convicción/seguridad/evidencia sobre las cosas no vistas]. heb. 11:1 Biblia Ampliada
Porque por fe caminamos, no por nuestros sentidos (nuestros cinco sentidos). 2 Cor. 5:7.

Introducción.
Estamos rodeados de espíritus malignos en este mundo. Para entender esta guerra, no usamos nuestros sentidos físicos sino aquellos dones sobrenaturales que Dios ya nos ha proporcionado mediante el uso de Su palabra. La Palabra de Dios es la espada del Espíritu de Dios que se nos ha dado como nuevas creaciones. Este nuevo hombre, esta nueva especie que nunca existió en el planeta tierra camina por fe y no requiere evidencia ni confirmación por los cinco sentidos.
Hay nuevos tipos de fe. Existe la fe en el conocimiento de los sentidos que exige evidencia física para satisfacer los sentidos antes de que pueda ver aquello por lo que ha orado. El tipo de fe de Dios depende únicamente de la Palabra de Dios. En este tipo de fe el creyente encuentra el pasaje en las Escrituras que cubre su necesidad y la hace suya.
La oración basada en la Palabra de Dios se eleva por encima de los sentidos y contacta con el autor de la Palabra, que es el Señor Jesucristo.
Porque aunque vivimos según la carne, no hacemos la guerra según la carne, ya que las armas de nuestra guerra no son carnales, sino que son poderosas en Dios para derribar fortalezas. Derribamos argumentos y toda soberbia que se levanta contra el conocimiento de Dios, y llevamos cautivo todo pensamiento a la obediencia a Cristo. Y estamos dispuestos a castigar cualquier desobediencia, una vez que vuestra obediencia sea completa. 2 Cor. 10:3-6.

Conocimiento Sensorial versus Verdad Revelación.
El otro día conocí a una señora que pidió oración por la enfermedad que tenía. Mientras le explicaba la curación divina, ella me dijo que no iba a creer algo que su cuerpo le decía que tenía. Dijo que ni siquiera los médicos tenían una cura para su afección. Le dije con valentía que Jesús llevó sus enfermedades sobre Su cuerpo en la cruz del Calvario. Le dije que creyera a Dios y Su Palabra y que era Satanás quien le había puesto la enfermedad. Le dije que Satanás es el dios de este mundo y que Jesús cuando estuvo en la tierra andaba lleno del Espíritu Santo sanando a todos los oprimidos por el diablo. (Hechos 10:38). Verás, lo que ella tenía era conocimiento sensorial, ella creía la verdad que el mundo ha declarado, pero necesitaba conocimiento de revelación de la palabra de Dios que mostrara que Jesús tomó sobre sí todas las enfermedades y dolencias en la cruz del Calvario. Nuestra fe no debe basarse en sentimientos sino en la palabra de Dios. No estoy diciendo que ignoremos los síntomas del cuerpo. Te estoy diciendo que alinees tu cuerpo con lo que dice la Palabra de Dios.
Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que nos ha bendecido con toda bendición espiritual en los lugares celestiales en Cristo. Ef. 1:3
Gracia y paz os sean multiplicadas por el conocimiento de Dios (Conocimiento de la Revelación) y de Jesús nuestro Señor, según su divino poder nos ha dado todas las cosas que pertenecen a la vida y a la piedad, por el conocimiento de Aquel que nos ha llamado a la gloria y a la virtud. Por las cuales se nos dan grandísimas y preciosas promesas, para que por ellas seáis participantes de la naturaleza divina, habiendo escapado de la corrupción que hay en el mundo por la concupiscencia. 2 Pedro 1:2-4
Lo visible versus lo invisible
Dios eligió deliberadamente lo que el mundo considera una tontería (lo invisible) para avergonzar a los que se creen sabios, y eligió lo que el mundo considera débil (la fe en Dios) para avergonzar a los que se creen sabios. aquellos que se creen poderosos. Eligió lo que el mundo menosprecia, desprecia y piensa que no es nada (lo invisible) para destruir lo que el mundo cree que es importante. I Cor. 1:27-28.
Porque no fijamos nuestra atención en las cosas que se ven, sino en las que no se ven. Lo que se puede ver dura sólo un tiempo, pero lo que no se puede ver dura para siempre. 2 Cor. 4:18.

Necesitan ver lo que significa esta escritura. Entienda que todo nos ha sido provisto en Cristo Jesús. Hemos sido bendecidos con todas las bendiciones. No puedes verlos porque están en el ámbito espiritual, pero Dios dice que están allí. Mucha gente opera y siente el Conocimiento en lugar del Conocimiento de la Revelación. El Conocimiento de los Sentidos contradice la Palabra de Dios. Cuando comiences a caminar por el Conocimiento de la Revelación, verás lo que Dios tiene en Su Palabra y lo harás realidad en tu propia vida. Recuerde que nuestra fe capta la verdad que la palabra de Dios dice y la hace realidad tal como la creemos.

Recuerdo una vez que el diablo me golpeaba con síntomas de mareos. Estaba creyendo en mi corazón que estaba sanado, y estaba confesando con mi boca agradeciendo a Dios que estaba sanado pero mis acciones contradecían lo que creía. Mientras estaba acostado en la cama, comencé a sentirme mareado una vez más. ¡Le dije a Dios gracias, padre por sanarme! Inmediatamente el Espíritu Santo me respondió y me dijo lo siguiente: ‘si fuiste sanado por qué estás acostad en la cama’. Una persona que es curada sigue haciendo lo que debe hacer.’ Entonces me levanté y salí al patio trasero para hacer mi ejercicio diario. Lo que hice puse la palabra de Dios en acción. Así es como resistimos al diablo. Esto significa que la Palabra de Dios es verdadera. Al creerlo, confesarlo, debemos poner nuestra fe en acción. El Conocimiento de los Sentidos afirma que no era cierto, pero confiar en el Conocimiento de Revelación que recibimos son nuestras bendiciones espirituales. Arreglé mis acciones; Me levanté de esa cama y salí a hacer ejercicio. Satanás todavía golpeaba mi cuerpo con mareos, así que seguí confesando la Palabra de Dios y los síntomas me desaparecieron. Mis palabras y acciones estuvieron de acuerdo con la palabra de Dios. Debemos actuar según la palabra de Dios. Debemos dar ese paso de fe y actuar como creemos en Dios y Su palabra.
Debemos creer, hablar y
