God speaks today Wednesday | November 22, 2023

Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. (1 Samuel 1:16)
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:16)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

God is nauseated by lukewarm people

In the encounter between the prophet Elisha and the widow who approaches him with her husband's debt, a miracle occurs when the oil multiplies to pay off the debt. The lesson to be learned is that when we cry out to God with a strong desire to serve Him, like Hannah did for a child, God will answer in a big way.

It is important to remember that God is moved by determined people and to ask the Lord to make us mighty and courageous warriors. Read more...

Beloved Enrique, thank you for sharing your love and your trust in God. It is beautiful to see how you cling to Him for blessing.

Until now I have been praying because of my great distress and affliction." May the Lord bless your life abundantly.
Carlos A. Borja Flores: When one faces life situations that I do not understand, like the one I am experiencing these days, how good it is to receive these devotionals. I would like to take the words that Father Miranda explains: "God is moved by determined people and the Bible is full of determined people who cry out to God or get into the crowd and extract a blessing from the Lord as the woman also did with him." flow of blood. I want to be one of those determined people who does not accept no as an answer, but who grabs hold of God's skirts."

Maria de Lourdes Jarrín : The kingdom of God is full and the violent take it away. The kingdom of God is among us. Christ brought us closer to him. To know the kingdom is also to know God. To move in the kingdom is to be in Him. God is everything, of everything and in everyone.
Beloved Mary of Lourdes, thank you for sharing your reflection on the kingdom of God. It is true that the kingdom of God is a kingdom of fullness and that those who are determined and courageous can "snatch it." Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional invites us to be determined and passionate people in our relationship with God, to be able to experience everything He has prepared for us in His kingdom. It is wonderful to know that through Christ, we can draw closer to the kingdom of God and learn more about His nature and love. As you mention, moving in the kingdom of God is being in Him, it is allowing God to be everything in our lives. May the Lord continue to reveal more of His kingdom to you and guide you in your walk with Him. May His fullness and love always accompany you.
