Today, I want to reflect on a profound statement made by our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 8:20, where He says, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” This verse encapsulates the essence of discipleship and the radical call that Jesus issued to those who sought to follow Him.

Seeking the Fullness of the Spirit   Text: Luke 24:49   Beloved in Christ, today we gather to explore a profound truth that lies at the heart of our Christian walk—the fullness of the Holy Spirit. While every believer is blessed with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, not every believer experiences the fullness and control of the Spirit in their daily lives. Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 6:17 and Acts 9:1-6 remind us of the intimate relationship we have with the Spirit, yet we find ourselves challenged to live in that fullness.

  Listen to what Paul says about it in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4: “For one who speaks in a tongue [an unknown tongue] does not speak to men,  but to God; for no one understands,  but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...” So, what are we doing when we pray in this prayer language, this unknown tongue?   Paul  says we’re doing three things. First of all, we’re speaking direct to God, not to man;  that’s a privilege in itself, to be able to speak directly to Almighty...

Todos sabemos que la misión de la Iglesia incluye predicar a Cristo a los nocreyentes para que se salven los elegidos de Dios. Pero los seres humanos somos criaturas extrañas. Tenemos la capacidad de convencernos de que ‘hablar’ de algo es tener la realidad. Esto lo vemos todos los días en el mal-llamado ‘evangelio de la prosperidad’. Estos predicadores ‘hablan’ mucho de impartir bendición, prosperidad y victoria - y sus congregaciones creen que lo están recibiendo, aunque realmente todos viven igual que todos los demás alrededor. Como oyen hablar mucho del asunto, creen que...

El comienzo seguro de la muerte espiritual de una iglesia es un giro en su predicación. Poco a poco se deja de predicar la clara Palabra de Dios que condena nuestra idolatría, nuestro egoísmo, y nuestra rebeldía contra Dios, y que ofrece como única solución el Cristo crucificado y resucitado.    La predicación se vuelve muy moralística, enfatizando buena conducta, buenos valores, buenos sentimientos. O se vuelve psicología humanista. Siempre se usa la Biblia - pero ahora el uso de la Palabra es más bien para buscar ejemplos o moralejas. ¡En serio!   Se manipula el...

The Power of Targeted Prayer   Hi, my name is Caesar and I am a voice in the desert. It's great to be with you today, especially to share the word of God. Today is going to be a brief session, but a very important one because we’re going to talk about the power of prayer. Specifically, we will discuss targeted prayer—a prayer that addresses a specific need directly.   As children of Christ and warriors of the Almighty God, we are to use our best weapon, and our best weapon is prayer. When we use prayer as our main and only weapon, it becomes so precise that our Lord Jesus will...
