God speaks today Tuesday | August 15, 2023

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1)
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: (1 Peter 1:6)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Sacrificial worship

Paul and Silas were imprisoned and in pain, but they chose to worship God through singing hymns. This sacrificial worship caused an earthquake, freed them from their chains, and led to the conversion of the jailer. Similarly, Job praised God despite his suffering, and God was glorified. When we choose to worship God even in difficult times, we challenge the powers of darkness and please the Lord. This type of worship involves sacrificing our own needs and focusing on God's glory, and it unleashes God's power in our lives. Read more...

Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Worshiping GOD for all the things I experience on a daily basis strengthens me a lot. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah! It is wonderful to hear how worshiping God strengthens your life on a daily basis. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, sacrificial worship glorifies God in an extraordinary way. Even though we face trials and difficulties, as Psalm 34:1 says, we must bless the Lord at all times and have His praise in our mouths. Our worship not only strengthens us, but also activates divine power in our lives. Continue to worship God in all circumstances and you will see how He is glorified within you. God bless you!
Francisco Diaz S.: Under no circumstances should we doubt God, the more oppressed we are, the greater our faith should be, since our strength is in our faith and God does not abandon us.- Praise the Lord
Amen! Your words are a powerful reminder that our faith in God is our strength in the midst of difficulties. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, sacrificial worship constitutes a challenge against the illegitimate demands of the flesh and the devil. It is in those moments of oppression and difficulty that we must strengthen our faith and trust that God never abandons us. As 1 Peter 1:6 says, even though we are afflicted with various trials, we can rejoice greatly because we know that our faith is tested and strengthened. Continue to trust God and praise him in all circumstances. Praise the Lord!
Milagros Sánchez : God, he's always on time. Blessings.
Amen! What a beautiful statement, Milagros. God is always on time in our lives. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, sacrificial worship connects us with powerful and profound spiritual principles. Even though we face difficult situations, we can trust that God is with us and will provide for us at the right time. His fidelity is unwavering. No matter how difficult the situation seems, we can find comfort in the knowledge that God is never late. May God's blessings continue to embrace and guide you every step of the way.
Sara Gaspar : Today I had a strong problem, but I know that the Spirit reminded me of today's devotional: worship regardless of the situation. Thank God for everything.
What a beautiful testimony, Sara. It is inspiring to see how the devotional on sacrificial worship came just at the moment when you were facing a strong problem. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions, worship regardless of the situation is a powerful instrument to channel divine power into our lives. Let us praise God at all times, even in the midst of difficulties, because He is with us and strengthens us. Let us thank God for His faithfulness and for reminding us of the importance of worship in the midst of circumstances. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen you in your walk with God. Blessings!
Elizabeth: Going through times of spiritual drought and various tests. These devotionals in my email have sustained me and God has spoken to me many times. Thank you for this valuable form of communication and for permanently encouraging those of us who have fallen. By the way, I am in the firm position to cover the dry bones with his word and presence of God. Blessings and keep going without stopping.
Dear Elizabeth, your testimony is a reminder of God's faithfulness in the midst of our spiritual droughts and trials. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, sacrificial adoration is a challenge to the powers of darkness and greatly pleases the Lord. We are glad to know that these devotionals have been a source of strength and comfort to you, and that God has spoken through them. As you cover dry bones with God's word and presence, we know He will restore and revive your spirit. May God's blessings continue to accompany you on your journey, and may you continue to be a testimony of His grace and love. Keep going non-stop!
Rosa María : It is not enough to say I believe because even the devil believes and trembles. It is not enough to say I have faith if you do not believe him in the tests you do not give him the place he deserves God ... our God of power, it is necessary to activate that faith that you profess and adore and praise him in times of trial, of difficulty, of illness, anguish, precisely in those circumstances is where true faith grows by believing in God the Father that he will rescue us and help us in the problem or situation that you find yourself in, Jeremiah 33:3 says cry out to me and I will answer you and show you things great and hidden that you do not know, amen. Psalm 51:17
Thank you for sharing your reflections, Rosa María! You are absolutely right, it is not enough to say that we believe or that we have faith, but it is necessary to activate that faith in times of trial and difficulty. As you mention, it is in those circumstances where our faith grows and is strengthened by trusting God and worshiping him. Jeremiah 33:3 is a beautiful reminder that when we cry out to God, He will answer us and show us great and hidden things that we don't yet know. And Psalm 51:17 teaches us that the acceptable sacrifice to God is a contrite and humble heart. Let us continue to seek God in the midst of our trials and difficulties, trusting in His power and faithfulness. Amen!
