¡Pensar, Hablar, Vivir!
Porque cuál es su pensamiento en su corazón, tal es él.
Proverbios 23:7.

Dedicamos mucho tiempo a hablar sobre las relaciones interpersonales y cómo estas afectan el comportamiento, así como sobre los factores que influyen en nuestras relaciones personales y profesionales. Al examinar estos temas, es importante reconocer que cada situación está influenciada por las experiencias individuales, las creencias personales, los valores y las circunstancias. Al analizar estos conceptos, no solo evaluamos las acciones de los demás; en muchos sentidos, también nos examinamos a nosotros mismos.
El sociólogo George Herbert Mead describió este proceso mediante el concepto del “Yo Espejo”. Esta teoría sugiere que nuestra percepción de nosotros mismos está moldeada por cómo creemos que los demás nos ven, y que la autopercepción influye en cómo interactuamos con el mundo que nos rodea. En otras palabras, cómo nos vemos a nosotros mismos a menudo determina cómo nos relacionamos con los demás y cómo los tratamos. Cuando tenemos una sana autoestima y nos aceptamos, generalmente somos más capaces de brindar comprensión, compasión y respeto a los demás. Por el contrario, cuando luchamos con la autoaceptación o tenemos una visión negativa de nosotros mismos, esas luchas internas pueden afectar nuestra capacidad para construir relaciones positivas con los demás.
En última instancia, creo que gran parte de lo que estamos discutiendo se reduce al poder de nuestros pensamientos y creencias. A menudo he escuchado la frase: “Del corazón brotan los asuntos de la vida”, lo que sugiere que lo que realmente creemos en nuestro interior se refleja finalmente en nuestras palabras, actitudes y acciones. Si nuestros corazones y mentes están llenos de duda, miedo, resentimiento o negatividad —ya sea hacia nosotros mismos o hacia los demás—, esos sentimientos se manifestarán inevitablemente en nuestra forma de comunicarnos. Con el tiempo, lo que pensamos repetidamente comienza a influir en cómo hablamos, y cómo hablamos, en última instancia, demostrará cómo experimentamos la vida.
Muchas personas subestiman el poder de las palabras y el impacto que tienen en el desarrollo personal y las interacciones sociales. Desde la infancia, estamos expuestos a innumerables mensajes sobre quiénes somos, de qué somos capaces y cómo debemos relacionarnos con los demás. Algunos de estos mensajes son positivos y empoderadores, mientras que otros pueden ser críticos, desalentadores o limitantes. A medida que estos mensajes se acumulan con el tiempo, a menudo moldean nuestras creencias sobre nosotros mismos y el mundo que nos rodea.
Este proceso puede comprenderse a través del concepto de construcción psicosocial de la realidad, que sugiere que nuestras experiencias, interacciones sociales y entornos contribuyen a la formación de nuestras percepciones, valores, identidades y patrones de comportamiento. La manera en que interpretamos nuestras experiencias influye en el desarrollo de nuestro carácter y afecta nuestra respuesta ante los desafíos, las oportunidades y las relaciones a lo largo de la vida.
También he oído decir que nuestras palabras tienen el poder de generar vida y bienestar, o desaliento y derrota. Ya sea literal o figuradamente, es cierto que lo que decimos constantemente influye en lo que finalmente experimentamos. Nuestras creencias dan forma a nuestro lenguaje, y nuestro lenguaje refuerza nuestras creencias. Si constantemente expresamos confianza, crecimiento y posibilidades, es más probable que actuemos de acuerdo con esas creencias. Por otro lado, cuando expresamos constantemente dudas, negatividad o fracaso, esos mensajes pueden convertirse en profecías autocumplidas y limitar nuestro potencial.
La forma en que PENSAMOS es la forma en que HABLAMOS. ¡Y la forma en que hablamos es la forma en que VIVIMOS!

Thinking, Speaking, Living!

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he!
Proverbs 23:7

We spend a considerable amount of time discussing interpersonal relationships and how this affects behavior, and the factors that influence our personal and professional relationships. While examining these topics, it is important to recognize that every situation is influenced by individual experiences, personal beliefs, values, and circumstances. When we analyze these concepts, we are not simply evaluating the actions of others; in many ways, we are also examining ourselves.
Sociologist George Herbert Mead described this process through the concept of the “Looking-Glass Self.” This theory suggests that our perception of ourselves is shaped by how we believe others view us, and that self-perception influences how we interact with the world around us. In other words, how we see ourselves often determines how we relate to and treat other people. When we have a healthy sense of self-worth and acceptance, we are generally more capable of extending understanding, compassion, and respect to others. Conversely, when we struggle with self-acceptance or hold negative views of ourselves, those internal struggles can affect our ability to build positive relationships with others.
Ultimately, I believe much of what we are discussing comes down to the power of our thoughts and beliefs. I have often heard the phrase, “from the heart flow the issues of life,” which suggests that what we truly believe within ourselves is eventually reflected in our words, attitudes, and actions. If our hearts and minds are filled with doubt, fear, resentment, or negativity—whether directed toward ourselves or others—those feelings will inevitably manifest in the way we communicate. Over time, what we repeatedly think begins to influence how we speak, how we speak, will ultimately demonstrate how we experience life.
Many people underestimate the power of words and the impact they have on personal development and social interactions. From childhood onward, we are exposed to countless messages about who we are, what we are capable of achieving, and how we should relate to others. Some of these messages are positive and empowering, while others can be critical, discouraging, or limiting. As these messages accumulate over time, they often shape our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.
This process can be understood through the concept of the psychosocial construction of reality, which suggests that our experiences, social interactions, and environments help form our perceptions, values, identities, and patterns of behavior. The way we interpret our experiences influences the development of our character and affects how we respond to challenges, opportunities, and relationships throughout life.
I have also heard it said that our words have the power to produce either life and well-being or discouragement and defeat. Whether taken literally or figuratively, there is truth in the idea that what we consistently say influences what we ultimately experience. Our beliefs shape our language, and our language reinforces our beliefs. If we continually speak words of confidence, growth, and possibility, we are more likely to pursue actions consistent with those beliefs. On the other hand, when we consistently speak words of doubt, negativity, or failure, those messages can become self-fulfilling and limit our potential.

The way we THINK is the way we will SPEAK. And the way we speak is the way we will LIVE!

Las Sabanas de los Vecinos!
Sean gratos los dichos de mi boca y la meditación de mi corazón delante de ti, oh SEÑOR, Salmos 19:14.

¡Qué sábanas tan sucias tenía nuestra vecina colgada en el tendedero!, le dijo una mujer a su marido. “Tal vez necesite una nueva marca de jabón. ¡Ojalá pudiera ayudarla a lavar sus sábanas!”.
El marido la miró sin decir nada. Cada dos o tres días la mujer repetía los mismos comentarios sobre las sábanas de su vecina mientras miraba por la ventana.
Al cabo de un mes, la mujer se sorprendió mucho al ver que su vecina colgaba sábanas limpias y parecían nuevas. Le dijo a su marido: “¡Mira! Por fin aprendió a lavar su ropa. Me pregunto si otra vecina le enseñó a lavarlas”. Su marido le respondió: “No, hoy me levanté muy temprano y lavé nuestras ventanas…”
Qué fácil es criticar a los demás. A veces criticamos a los demás porque no entendemos sus acciones. Pero antes de juzgar a los demás, ¡echemos un vistazo a nosotros mismos! Sólo Dios conoce el corazón de las personas.

The Neighbors Sheets!
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight.
Psalms 19:14

What dirty sheets our neighbor hung up on her clothes’ line a women stated to her husband. “Maybe she needs to use a new brand of soap. I wish I could help her to wash her sheets!”
The husband looked at her without saying anything. Every two or three days the women repeated the same comments about her neighbor’s sheets as she looks through the window.
In about month the woman was very surprised to see that her neighbor hanging clean sheets and they looked brand new. She said to her husband, “Look! Finally, she learned how to wash her clothes. I wonder if another neighbor taught her how to wash?”
Her husband responded, “No, today I got up very early and I washed our windows…..”
How easier it is to criticize others. Sometimes we criticize others because we don’t understand their actions. But before we judge others let’s take a long look at ourselves! Only God knows the hearts of people.

¡Dios no tiene favoritos!
Si es posible, en cuanto de vosotros dependa, estad en paz con todos los hombres.
Rom. 12: 18

¡Donde está el Espíritu de Dios, hay libertad y la libertad de Dios es gratuita para todos! No importa cuál sea tu nacionalidad, raíces o quien sea tu familia. No importa cuánto dinero tengas o no tengas. Dios te quiere liberar de cualquier cosa que te ha estado deteniendo de experimentar una relación personal con el Dios Altísimo.

Dios anhela derramar Su bondad y bendiciones a todo aquel que le dé la honra y que haga lo que es correcto a Sus ojos. De hecho, la Biblia menciona en Gálatas que en Cristo, no hay diferencia de personas para Dios. Esto significa que Dios no te juzga en base a tu condición física, El busca lo que hay en tu corazón. El responde de acuerdo con la fe que tengas en El.

No permitas que el enemigo (satanás) te siga mintiendo, diciéndote que Dios bendice a todos los demás excepto a ti. Toma el tiempo y fíjate bien en todas las maneras que Dios ha derramado sus bendiciones sobre ti. Démosle gracias por su ACEPTACION, AMOR Y LIBERTAD en nuestras vidas. Enfócate en dar le a Dios la honra y haciendo lo que es correcto, y tu estarás experimentando su libertad y sus bendiciones.

I Corinthians 1:18.

God Has No Favorites
“…God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear Him and do what is right” Acts 10:34–35, (NIV)

God’s Freedom Is for Everyone
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom — and God’s freedom is free for everyone! It doesn’t matter what your nationality or heritage is, or who your family is. It doesn’t matter how much money you have or don’t have. God wants you free from everything that would hold you back from having a personal relationship with Him. God longs to pour out His goodness and blessing on all who honor Him and do what is right.

Equality in Christ
In fact, the Bible says in Galatians that in Christ that we are all the same to God. That means God’s not judging you based on physical conditions. He’s looking at your heart. He’s looking at the gifts He’s placed inside of you. He’s responding to your faith in Him.

Responding to God’s Blessing
Don’t let the enemy lie to you and tell you that God is blessing everyone else but you. Look for the ways He is pouring out blessing in your life. Thank Him for His acceptance, love and freedom. Focus on honoring Him and doing what is right, and you’ll find freedom and blessing in Him.

Life Between Brackets!
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind…..” Luke 9:27.
Lord, you are teaching me that I must always live my life between brackets. No condition of my life is ever permanent. God brings about and even allows every condition; He also ends them as well. There is a time and season for every part of our life. (Ecclesiastes 3). If I find myself in sorrow today, God will deliver me tomorrow as I turn to Him. God today blesses with victory, spiritual, and material wealth. But if we become prideful this stops the blessings of God.
Why does God give us changing, altering conditions. God does not want just one-track minds in His Kingdom. (I Timothy 6:17 KJV). Too much wealth leads us to “trust in uncertain riches. Too much sorrow leads us to despair. The combination is just right. The land to which the Israelites were traveling was a “land of hills and valleys”. (Deuteronomy 11:11). There cannot be hills without valleys nor can there be great victories without great battles.
That comforts me, Lord. The distressing situation that nags and embarrasses me today must give way to something better (or at least different). Patience says, “Wait, God will set it right.” The ecstasy of God’s blessings must be received with a sober thought; tomorrow it will be gone.
Now I see what your Word means when it says Moses “endured, as seeing the invisible” (Hebrews 11:27). It is in seeing the invisible One that keeps me in perfect balance. I cannot endure seeing my brief, ever changing circumstances. I can endure only by looking to the One who ends those circumstances as He molds me. Lord, my vow is this; I will patiently look to the only constant and realty in my life-God Himself. Then I will understand what the psalmist said: The Lord will perfect (bring to completion) that which concerneth me” (Psalm 138:8 KJV).

¡La Vida entre Paréntesis!
“Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con todas tus fuerzas y con toda tu mente…” Lucas 9:27.
Señor, me estás enseñando que debo vivir siempre mi vida entre paréntesis. Ninguna condición de mi vida es permanente. Dios produce cada condición; también pone fin a cada una. Hay un tiempo y una estación para cada parte de nuestra vida. (Eclesiastés 3). Si me encuentro triste hoy, Dios me liberará mañana cuando me vuelva a Él. Dios hoy bendice con victoria, riqueza espiritual y material. Pero si nos volvemos orgullosos, esto detiene las bendiciones de Dios.
¿Por qué nos da Dios condiciones cambiantes y cambiantes? Dios no quiere mentes unidireccionales en Su Reino (1 Timoteo 6:17). Demasiada riqueza nos lleva a “confiar en riquezas inciertas”. Demasiada tristeza nos lleva a la desesperación. La combinación es perfecta. La tierra a la que viajaban los israelitas era una “tierra de colinas y de valles” (Deuteronomio 11:11). No puede haber colinas sin valles ni puede haber grandes victorias sin grandes batallas.
Eso me consuela, Señor. La situación angustiosa que hoy me atormenta y me avergüenza debe dar paso a algo mejor (o al menos diferente). La paciencia dice: “Espera, Dios lo arreglará”. El éxtasis de las bendiciones de Dios debe recibirse con un pensamiento sobrio; mañana habrá desaparecido.
Ahora veo lo que tu Palabra quiere decir cuando dice que Moisés “se sostuvo como viendo lo invisible” (Hebreos 11:27). Es al ver al Invisible que me mantengo en perfecto equilibrio. No puedo soportar ver mis circunstancias breves y siempre cambiantes. Puedo soportar solamente mirando a Aquel que pone fin a esas circunstancias mientras nos moldea. Señor, mi voto es este: miraré pacientemente a la única constante y real en mi vida: Dios mismo. Entonces entenderé lo que dijo el salmista: “El Señor perfeccionará (traerá a término) lo que está en mí” (Salmo 138:8 RV).

I Corinthians 1:18
As He is, so are We in this World!
“As He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17).

Introduction.
In this powerful message you will discover a life-changing revelation about your identity in Christ, your authority as a believer, and the transforming power of faith-filled confession. We have been given all authority legally through the cross of Calvary, yet we do not experience or walk in that power.
This teaching deep into the believer’s present-tense reality in Christ. Not who you hope to become someday, but who God says you are right now. You are a new creature in Christ, living with righteousness consciousness, receiving the fullness of redemption through the blood of Jesus, and walking boldly in faith instead of fear, doubt, guilt, or condemnation. Faith is an Action without action your faith is Dead! James 2:17

Battle of the Mind
The minute you decide to stand on the word of God the enemy is going to attack you time and again. He’s not going to just stand by idly and not let you move on in your faith. This is why it says the scripture resist the devil and he shall. One way you resist him is by understanding who you are and what you have in Christ Jesus! James 4:7

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.2 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

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Cor. 10: 3-6

Fight the Good Fight of Faith
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Mark 11:23
• Real Faith in God simply says what God says about themselves and circumstances.

Fath is an Action without action your faith is Dead! You must Believe, Speak and Act on the Word of God! This is the formula that you receive form God from Salvation, Healing, Freedom from the oppression of the devil!

Feelings do not determine your reality. For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Cor. 5:7. You need to walk in the power of your confession according to the Word of God!!

Throughout this message, the emphasis is clear: faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and victory comes when believers stop arguing with God’s Word and start agreeing with it. You are to renew your mind, strengthen your confession, resist fear and feelings, and walk in the reality of what Jesus has already accomplished through His death, burial, resurrection, and enthronement. The teaching also explains the difference between spirit, soul, and body, showing how the believer’s spirit is already made new in Christ while the mind must be renewed and the body brought into alignment with the Word. This is not just a sermon about doctrine. It is a call to practical daily victory. Whether you are battling fear, condemnation, sickness, anxiety, spiritual weakness, or uncertainty about your identity, this message points you back to the finished work of Christ. It reminds you that redemption is not future tense. Acceptance is not future tense. Righteousness is not future tense. In Christ, these realities are yours now. If you have been searching for strong, faith-building biblical teaching will strengthen your spirit and stir your confidence in God’s promises. Listen carefully, take notes, speak the Word out loud, and let this truth settle into your heart: As He is, so are we in this world “Build bold faith, renew your confession, and awaken your identity in Christ.

You must use the Word of God to speak again the evil one. Your Words have Power
This message unfolds powerful truths from So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17.

So, Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Mark 11:22-24

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23.

Say out Loud!
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Mark 11:23
• Real Faith in God simply says what God says about themselves and circumstances.

Healing is in your Mouth!
And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak. 2 Cor. 4:13.

He is so are we in this world, faith cometh by hearing, identity in Christ, in Christ realities, righteousness of God in Christ, redemption through his blood, new creature in Christ, spirit soul and body teaching, faith confession, confession of faith, word of faith preaching, healing scriptures, by his stripes ye were healed, believer authority, seated with Christ, accepted in the beloved, boldness in Christ, finished work of Christ, righteousness consciousness, Bible teaching on faith, Christian motivation sermon, overcoming fear with faith, faith and healing message, renewing the mind scripture, hold fast your confession, victorious Christian living gospel!

The Word of God takes Prominent Place in your Life.
My son give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 4:20-22
• People fail because they see themselves failing, in doubt, sick, dying, maybe they have anger or resentment against someone in their heart.
• Jesus took our infirmities.
Surely, He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isa. 53: 4-5.
When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities’ and bore our sicknesses. Matt. 8:17.
• God’s Word is life and healing.
• Get your mind on the answer, not the problem.

Faith Contradicts Circumstances
….for He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So, we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Heb. 13:5-6.
• We walk by Faith not by our feelings.
• People speak defeat, disease, and poverty.
• Wrong thinking, wrong believing, and wrong talking will result in wrong living.
Faith Sees the Answer and says Thank You Father!
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were (past tense) healed. 1 Peter 2:24.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19.
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall, I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1.
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Mark 11:23
• Real Faith in God simply says what God says about themselves and circumstances.

Believing, Speaking, and Living the Word of God.

Crooked Made Straight
“I will go before you and make the crooked places straight…” – Isaiah 45:2.

We live in a time when we want instant answers. We have been influenced and shaped by the mindset and attitudes of the world. However, when we become Christians, we are no longer friends of the world. We must think, speak, and live differently. The world system is opposed to God, and though we live in it, it is not our home.

There are times when we all face difficulties, but God gives us a promise of great hope. We must understand that we are not tourists in this world. We are on a journey toward wholeness and completeness, and God is not in a hurry. He values quality over quantity. Many of our problems come from living wrongly, eating poorly, spending unwisely, failing to save, and neglecting to give. Then we want God to quickly rescue us from the messes we have created. We want everything to happen in a hurry. When we fail to put God first in every area of our lives, disorder follows.

Sometimes people resist change because it is painful. True change requires responsive behavior and obedience. Common areas of struggle for many people include marriages, finances, relations, speech and attitude, a victim mindset, and broken promises. Christian discipleship has often been reduced to a tourist mentality. We treat God as a tour guide rather than the Lord of our lives. We behave as if His commandments are merely suggestions. A true disciple devotes their life to serving their Master. God has given us a guidebook-the Bible. All truth is found in Christ Jesus (John 14:5-6).

If we choose the path of discipleship and live as pilgrims, we will eventually see the wisdom of God unfold in our lives. It may take time and perseverance, but God is faithful.

All we need to do is remain in faith and walk in the truth of God’s Word. There are also areas of our lives where we have been harshly judged, condemned, or mistreated by others-God will straighten out. Even in areas where we feel we will never overcome; God promises to make the crooked places straight as we repent and seek His guidance.

Understand that God is working behind the scenes to make things right. He is preparing for victory, even when we cannot yet see it. God assures us that all things work together for the good of those who love Him. Rather than blaming God in our difficulties, we are called to trust Him amid every circumstance allowing Him to make all things straight.
