I Corinthians 1:18

How bad is your mouth?
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. James 1:26

Words are powerful. They have the ability to heal or to wound, to build up or to tear down. Throughout history—and even in our own personal lives—words have destroyed marriages, fractured families, cost people their jobs, and damaged countless relationships. When we reflect on the sins that God warns us about most strongly, many of them are connected to the way we speak.

Personally, I have come to realize that my words have caused more problems in my life than almost anything else. I have a tendency to be critical of others. It’s something I have struggled with throughout most of my adult life. There are times when I make progress—weeks when I am mindful and careful—and then, almost without noticing, I fall back into old habits and begin criticizing again.

It’s a common struggle. We speak negatively about our bosses behind their backs while smiling in their presence. We criticize our spouses, our children, our family members, neighbors, coworkers, and even our friends. The question is: why do we do this? Why are we so quick to find fault in others? At its root, I believe it comes down to pride. We begin to think more highly of ourselves than we should. We convince ourselves that we are better, that our way of living is the right way, and that others need to be corrected or “fixed” according to our standards. We attempt to rearrange other people’s lives to match our own idea of what is acceptable.

But this raises an important question: when did we take God’s place? No one has the authority to judge others except God. Scripture reminds us of this in the story of the woman caught in adultery. When the religious leaders brought her before Jesus, ready to condemn her, He responded with these powerful words: “Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.” One by one, they walked away. God alone is the righteous judge. He sees the full picture—the parts of people’s lives that we can’t see. He understands their struggles, their battles, their past, and their pain. Where we see only surface-level faults, He sees the heart.

So, let’s ask ourselves honestly: do we enjoy being criticized? Of course not. And yet, we often treat others in ways we would never want to be treated ourselves. Scripture reminds us that with the same measure we use toward others, it will be measured back to us. For that reason, we must learn to guard our tongues carefully. If we control our words, we can avoid so much unnecessary hurt, conflict, and regret. Choosing our words wisely is not just about avoiding trouble—it is about reflecting grace, humility, and love in a world that desperately needs it.

Fruit of your lips!
Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. Heb. 13:15; (AMP)

Give thanks and rejoice for everything that God has done in your life. I think that it is human nature to look at the dark side of things. It’s almost like we want to wallow in misery. We think that grass is greener on the other side especially when things are not going the way we want. But remember when we complain and get negative God cannot work with that type of attitude. There are many examples in scripture where doubt and being negative tie the hands of God.

God is a God of faith and either we believe in Him and His power working in our lives or we don’t. Paul stated in Heb. 13:15, “let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.” Why did he say a sacrifice of praise? It is considered a sacrifice when during difficult times our mind and emotions are full of negative things but we choose to praise God. It is during these times when we don’t understand what is going on in our life but we continually praise God not for the negative things but in the middle of the negative things. As we do this, we are declaring to God that we know that He is bigger than any problem we have. We are declaring that we fully understand that God is in control even when we are not.

I encourage you today that you look around you and begin to give thanks to God for the many blessings that you have. God is able to meet all of your needs as you praise Him. Choose to be happy and give thanks!

¡El fruto de tus labios!
Así que ofrezcamos continuamente a Dios, por medio de Jesucristo, un sacrificio de alabanza, es decir, el fruto de los labios que confiesan su nombre. Heb. 13:15.

Da gracias y regocíjate por todo lo que Dios ha hecho en tu vida. Yo creo que la naturaleza humana mira el lado oscuro de las cosas. Es casi como gustáramos de estar en miseria. Pensamos que el pasto siempre se ve más verde del otro lado, y especialmente cuando las cosas no van de la manera que queremos. Pero recuerda que cuando quejamos y nos ponemos negativos Dios no puede hacer nada para ayudarnos si tenemos ese tipo de actitud. La biblia tiene varios ejemplos donde la duda y la negatividad ataban las manos de Dios.

Dios es un Dios de fe y una dos podemos creer en Él y Su poder trabajando en nuestras vidas o tomamos la decisión de no creerlo. El apóstol Pablo dijo que necesitamos ofrecer continuamente a Dios sacrificios de alabanza. ¿Porque él dijo ofrecer un sacrificio de alabanza? Esta considerado sacrificarse cuando estamos teniendo tiempos difíciles en nuestras mentes y emociones invadidas de negatividad, pero en medio de esa batalla podemos y tenemos la libertad de escoger alabar a Dios.

Es precisamente que durante esos tiempos cuando no entendemos nada de lo que está pasando en nuestras vidas tenemos que continuamente alabar a Dios no por lo que estamos enfrentando, pero en medio de esas situaciones difíciles. Si nosotros declaramos a Dios que sabemos que Él es más grande que cualquier problema que podemos tener, si nosotros declaramos que entendemos completamente que Dios está en control, aunque nosotros no, empezaremos a ver como esas situaciones van cambiando para bien.

Yo te animo a que hoy veas alrededor de ti y des gracias a Dios por todas sus bendiciones. Dios está vivo y Él es capaz de cumplir todas tus necesidades cuando decides alabarlo. Si nunca lo has experimentado escoge de estar feliz y da le gracias.

I Corinthians 1:18

La Piedad no es Geográfica.
Dios es Espíritu, y quienes le adoran, en espíritu y en verdad es necesario que adoren.” Juan 4:24.

Debo recordar que mi relación con Dios Padre no está determinada por un lugar determinado. La piedad no se produce por la topografía. El hombre se construye enormes catedrales pensando que eso impresiona al Dios Padre y prueba su santidad. Esto es exactamente lo que Jesús confrontó con los líderes religiosos de su época.
Jesús le explicó claramente este punto a la mujer junto al pozo (Juan 4:4). Ella hizo hincapié en el monte Gerizim: “el lugar donde se debe adorar” (Juan 4:20). Jesús le respondió que no importaba dónde adorara, sino cómo adorar, lo que necesitaba era estar en lo correcto. La casa de adoración es en espíritu, es decir, y debe estar debidamente sintonizada con Dios espiritualmente.
Jeremías afirmó en su parábola sobre los higos maduros y los higos podridos (Jeremías 24): Los higos buenos eran los judíos que habían sido llevados a Babilonia, mientras que los higos podridos eran los judíos que permanecieron en la tierra santa.
La parábola pone fin para siempre al pecado del lugar. Se suponía que Babilonia era el lugar malo y Judá, el bueno. Pero eso no era así en el caso de los higos, pues los podridos estaban en el lugar bueno y los buenos en el lugar podrido.
¡Esto me habla al corazón ahora mismo! Babilonia, con todos sus males, no corrompió a los judíos cautivos. ¿Por qué? Porque la geografía correcta estaba dentro de ellos, no fuera. Sus corazones eran rectos, aunque su entorno era malo. Con los judíos de Judea fue exactamente lo contrario, cuyos corazones estaban equivocados, aunque su entorno era correcto.
¡Cuántas veces he culpado a mis amigos, a mi familia, a mi trabajo o a mi entorno por obstaculizar mi progreso con Dios! ¡Falso! La culpa recae en mi propio corazón negligente. La batalla está perdida o es una batalla dentro de mí. Babilonia puede convertirse en mi cielo más puro o Judea, mi infierno más profundo, dependiendo del estado de mi corazón. El Señor Dios dijo en Su Palabra que Jesús era una planta tierna en un desierto seco. (Isaías 53:2) Padre Dios, quieres que me asegure de ser lo opuesto a mi entorno, un toque de belleza celestial en una tierra árida.

I Corinthians 1:18

Godliness is Not Geographical!
God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.” John 4:24.

I must remember that my relationship with Father God is not determined by a certain place. Godliness is not produced by topography. Man builds himself tremendous, large cathedrals thinking that this impresses Father God and proves their holiness. This is exactly what Jesus confronted with the religious leaders of His day.
Jesus vividly made this point to the woman at the well (John 4:4). She was emphatic about Mount Gerizim: the place where men ought to worship” (John 4:20). Jesus replied that it did not matter where she worshiped, it was how to worship that she needed to be correct about. The house of worship is in spirit, that is and being properly tuned to God spiritually.
Jeremiah stated in his parable regarding the ripe and the spoiled figs. (Jeremiah 24). The good figs were the Jews, who had been taken to Babylonia, while the rotten figs were the Jews who remained in the holy land.
The parable ends forever the sin of place. Babylon was supposed to be the evil place, Judah, the good. But that was not true of the figs, for the rotten ones were in the good place; the good ones were in the rotten place.
How this speaks to my heart just now! Babylon with all its evils did not corrupt the captive Jews. Why? Because the right kind of geography was inside of them, not outside. Their hearts were right though their surroundings were evil. It was exactly the reverse with the Judean Jews, whose hearts were wrong though they were surroundings were right.
How often I have blamed my friends, my family, my job, or my environment for hindering my progress with God. False! The blame lies in my own negligent heart. The battle is one or lost within me. Babylon can become my purest heaven or Judea, my deep as hell, depending upon the state of my heart. The Lord God said in His Word that Jesus was a tender plant in a dry desert. (Isaiah 53:2). Father God, you want me to make sure to be the opposite of my surroundings, a touch of heavenly beauty in a barren land.

1 Corintios 1:18

¡Vergüenza espiritual!
Contra ti, solo contra ti, he pecado, y he hecho lo malo ante tus ojos, para que seas hallado justo cuando hables y sin culpa cuando juzgues. Salmo 51:4.

Debo vivir de tal manera que nunca me avergüence delante de Él (1 Juan2:28). Ciertamente, esto se refiere a una segunda venida y a que nos reuniremos ante Él, pero también se refiere al tipo de vida que debemos llevar antes de que venga.
Avergonzarme ante él significa que lo he obligado a ver mi pecado. Pablo lo deja claro: ¿Tomaré los miembros de Cristo o los haré miembros de una prostituta? 1 Corintios 6:15. El hijo de un predicador pisoteó las caléndulas de su padre, pero este lo sorprendió en el acto. El niño gritó: «No me mires», pues estaba avergonzado porque su padre se vio obligado a presenciar su desobediencia.
La vergüenza es la constatación de un contraste. Cuanto mayor es el contraste, mayor es la vergüenza. Si siento incomodidad en la presencia del Señor, siempre es por algún pecado. Los muertos no experimentan tal incomodidad; pero las personas espiritualmente vivas pueden sentir un profundo dolor ante la presencia incluso del pecado más pequeño.
Sentir vergüenza ante Él es, por lo tanto, una señal de vida espiritual, así como el pinchazo de un médico duele porque el paciente está vivo. Sentir vergüenza ante Él significa que Cristo está realmente conmigo, pero algo ha cambiado en nuestra relación. Debo esforzarme, con su ayuda, por vivir en una relación íntima con Él para que nunca sienta vergüenza. Es una vida en la que Dios y su discípulo caminan juntos porque están en perfecta armonía (Amós 3:3).

I Corinthians 1:18

Spiritual Shame!
Against You, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge. Psalms 51:4.

I must live so as never to be ashamed before Him first John 2:28. Certainly this refers to a second coming and are assembling before Him, but it also refers to the kind of life we should live before he comes.
To be ashamed before him means that I have forced him to view my sin Paul makes it clear; shall I take the members of Christ or make them members of a prostitute? 1st Corinthians 6:15. A preacher’s son trampled his father’s marigolds, but his father caught him in the act. The boy cried, don’t look at me, he was ashamed because his father was forced to see his disobedience.
Shame is the realization of a contrast. The greater the contrast, the greater the sense of shame. If I have a sense of discomfort in the presence of the Lord, it is always because of some sin. Dead people have no such discomfort; but spiritually alive people can become acutely pained by the presence of even the smallest sin.
To be ashamed before Him, therefore, is a mark of spiritual life, even as a pinpricking of the doctor hurts because the patient is alive. To be ashamed before him means that Christ is really with me, but something has happened in our relationship. I must try, with His help, to live in clouded relationship with him so they will never feel ashamed. It is a life that has never has to cry out to him don’t look at me the life in which God and His disciple walk together because they are perfectly agreed. (Amos 3:3).

La Espina de Pablo
Y para que no me enalteciera desmedidamente por la abundancia de las revelaciones, me fue dado una espina en la carne, un mensajero de Satanás que me abofetee, para que no me enaltezca desmedidamente. Acerca de esto, rogué al Señor tres veces que lo quitara de mí. Y Él me dijo: Mi gracia te basta, porque mi poder se perfecciona en la debilidad. Por lo tanto, con mucho gusto me gloriaré más bien en mis debilidades, para que el poder de Cristo repose sobre mí. Por lo tanto, me complazco en las debilidades, en las afrentas, en las necesidades, en las persecuciones, en las angustias, por amor de Cristo. Porque cuando soy débil, entonces soy fuerte.
2 Corintios 12:7-10.

La Espina de Pablo
Por lo tanto, para que no me envaneciera, me fue dado una espina en la carne, un mensajero de Satanás, para atormentarme. Tres veces le rogué al Señor que me la quitara. Pero él me dijo: «Mi gracia te basta, porque mi poder se perfecciona en la debilidad. Por lo tanto, con mucho gusto me gloriaré aún más en mis debilidades, para que el poder de Cristo repose sobre mí. Por eso, por amor a Cristo, me gozo en las debilidades, en los insultos, en las dificultades, en las persecuciones, en las angustias. Porque cuando soy débil, entonces soy fuerte.
• Pero él me dijo: Mi gracia (poder) (capacidad) te basta, porque mi poder se perfecciona en la debilidad».
• Él me respondió: «Yo soy todo lo que necesitas. Te doy mi favor amoroso. Mi poder se perfecciona en los débiles». Estoy feliz de ser débil y tener problemas para poder tener el poder de Cristo en mí.

Introducción
Algunos creen que la espina de Pablo fue dada por Dios para mantenerlo humilde. Esto no es así. Dios Padre le dijo a Pablo que su gracia (capacidad) en su vida era suficiente para afrontar 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 la espina que Satanás le dio a Pablo.
Existen malentendidos con respecto a la Escritura, 2 Corintios 12:7-9. Por lo tanto, debo indicar que debemos examinar otras Escrituras para comprender también lo que se dice aquí. En 2 Pedro 1:2-4 se dice que la gracia (capacidad) (poder) y la paz de Dios se multiplican hasta el conocimiento de Él. La gracia es la capacidad de Dios obrando a través de nosotros y la paz nuestra confianza en Él. Dios no usará nada de Satanás contra sus hijos. Es como decir que Dios da cáncer a una persona para bendecirla. Esto es una mentira del infierno. Tenemos un Padre amoroso que se complace en bendecir a sus hijos. Todo lo que el Señor le decía a Pablo era que Satanás lo atacaba, pero que el poder que Dios le había dado en su nuevo nacimiento era más que suficiente para vencer cualquier ataque del maligno. Debemos entender que Dios jamás usaría a Satanás ni a ninguno de sus demonios contra sus hijos. Ese no es el carácter de Dios. Dios declaró que en su nombre ordenaríamos a los demonios que se alejaran de la gente. Dios le decía a Pablo que su poder, mediante el nombre de Jesús, era más que suficiente para su vida y ministerio, como lo es para nosotros, los creyentes de hoy.

Origen de la enfermedad y el pecado
Debemos entender que Dios es el mismo ayer, hoy y siempre. Hebreos 13:8.
Dios ungió a Jesús de Nazaret con el Espíritu Santo y con poder. Él anduvo haciendo el bien y sanando a todos los oprimidos por el diablo, porque Dios estaba con él. Hechos 10:38
Bienaventurado el hombre que soporta la tentación (las pruebas), porque cuando haya resistido la prueba, recibirá la corona de la vida que el Señor ha prometido a los que le aman. Que nadie diga cuando sea tentado: «Soy tentado por Dios», porque Dios no puede ser tentado por el mal, ni tienta a nadie. Sino que cada uno es tentado cuando su propia concupiscencia lo arrastra y lo seduce. Luego, cuando la concupiscencia ha concebido, da a luz el pecado; y cuando el pecado ha sido consumado, da a luz la muerte.
No se equivoquen, amados hermanos. Toda buena dádiva y todo don perfecto descienden de lo alto, del Padre de las luces, en quien no hay cambio ni sombra de variación. Por su propia voluntad nos hizo nacer con la palabra de verdad, para que fuéramos primicias de sus criaturas. Santiago 1:12-19.

Gracias sean dadas a Dios, que siempre nos lleva en triunfo en Cristo Jesús, y que
por medio de nosotros revela en todo lugar el dulce aroma de su conocimiento. 2 Corintios 2:14.
Sin embargo, no me avergüenzo, porque conozco a aquel en quien he creído, y estoy seguro
de que él es poderoso para guardar lo que le he encomendado hasta aquel día.
2 Timoteo 1:12.
¿Qué diremos, pues, acerca de esto? Si Dios está con nosotros, ¿quién estará contra nosotros?
Romanos 8:31

Presta atención a cómo habla la gente. Las palabras revelan fe o duda. Tu forma de
pensar determina tu forma de hablar. ¡Y tu forma de hablar determina tu forma de vivir!

Paul’s, Thorn
And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10.

Paul’s Thorn
Therefore, to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast even more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
• But he said to me, “My grace (power) (Ability) is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
• He answered me, “I am all you need. I give you My loving-favor. My power works best in weak people.” I am happy to be weak and have troubles so I can have Christ’s power in me.

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) (power) 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.

Origin of Sickness and Sin
We must understand that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Heb 13:8.
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts: 10:38
Blessed is the man who endures temptation (trials), for when he is tried, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil; neither does He tempt anyone. But each man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed. Then, when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and when sin is finished, it brings forth death.
Do not err, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no change or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures. James 1:12-19.
Our Rights!
His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called us by His own glory and excellence, 4 by which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these things you might become partakers of the divine nature and escape the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:2-4.

Stand Strong!
Let the weak say, ‘I am strong. Joel 3:10
Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals
through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14
Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded
that He is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
2 Timothy1:12

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31

Listen to how people speak. Words are locaters either of faith or doubt. How you
think is how you will speak. And how you speak is how you will live!

Our Doctor Jesus!
And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38, New Living Translation (NLT)

Have you seen your children lying sick with fever and we wished to take their place so they wouldn’t have to suffer. Well, that is what Jesus did for you and me! It says in I Peter 2: 24, “By his wounds you are healed.” You don’t know how many times I have seen the healing power of God touch people and make them whole. I have a good friend who name is Jeff and he is a Christian and a therapist and prays for his patients and God heals them. The Bibles states that those who believe in Christ will pray for the sick and God will heal them (Mark 16: 15-16).
Are you sick? The scripture is clear stating that sickness comes from the devil not from God. God does not want you to be sick. God wants you whole, full of life, energy and happiness. As you love your children and you don’t want them to be sick neither does God because He loves you even more! God does not want you sick. If you are tired of being sick emotionally, psychologically, physically, or spiritually please repeat these words out loud with me.
Dear God, I thank you Jesus that you took all of my diseases. Thank you by your power. I am whole and full of energy and I have power. I thank you that in Jesus I am complete. I lack nothing! I thank you Jesus that you live in me and I live for you. I thank you God that I have received everything that I have just confessed.
Amen.
