The circumstances that surround us want to put out the fire of the Lord

Andrés Cisterna

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The speaker invites the audience to open their Bibles to Philippians 1:12 and reflects on how the Lord always has a purpose for our circumstances. Instead of complaining, we should try to understand what God wants from us through our experiences. The Apostle Paul wrote this book while in prison, but he did not let his circumstances define him. Similarly, we should not let our circumstances determine who we are. The speaker encourages us to activate our faith and trust that all things work together for good according to God's purposes. No matter how challenging our circumstances may seem, God wants to glorify himself through us and bless others.

You have been called with a purpose from the Lord, and no matter what circumstances you face, God will use them for His glory. Don't let circumstances define you, let God define who you are and what you do. Align your experiences with God's purpose and you will be victorious. Remember that the one who is with us is stronger than the one who is in the world. Give thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness and for the opportunity to be in His house. Bless others with His goodness and mercies.

I want to invite you to open your Bible to the Book of Philippians, chapter 1, verse 12. The Lord always has a purpose for each of our situations or circumstances, so I would suggest that we learn not to complain about what we have experienced, but instead Let's learn and try to understand what the Lord really wants from us from that experience. The Lord always provokes something, always has a cause to generate an effect. The Lord always has a cause, always generates a cause to have an effect in the future. And this text catches my attention, a very interesting text. I read it in my devotional today morning and have been living it personally for the past few months. Says:

"...I want you to know, brothers, that the things that have happened to me have redounded rather for the progress of the Gospel..."
