If God calls you, you have to jump

In order to have a deep relationship with Jesus and be used by Him, we must put aside our doubts, fears, and human reasoning. The Christian life is one of obedience and surrender. When God calls us, we must obey even if it seems impossible or there are obstacles in our way. God is faithful and will take care of the things we cannot solve or explain. By obeying God, we can see His Glory manifested in our lives and bless others. This is part of a series of messages on miraculous fishing and the calling of Peter to ministry. Read more...

Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : Today's devotional, written by Pastor Miranda, highlights the essence of how to walk, serve and wait on God, it is Obedience in everything that I demand even if it seems absurd, simply because He is God and everything is subject to the Lord of Hosts. My experience in the passage of the word day by day, is that God does as He wants and not as one wishes, because He knows what is convenient. Reading the word of God, and all sources of record such as books and devotionals based on the relationship with God, feeds the conviction of who I am in Christ. You don't learn in a short time, you have to love God and understand that everything is subject to His will, Power and Glory. I know that what He promised, He will fulfill in His right time. It is the believer who must subject himself and wait for the blessing of the Almighty. God bless you.
What a beautiful comment, Efigenia Vidal! It is inspiring to see how you highlight the importance of obedience to God’s will, even when we do not understand His ways. As Dr. Roberto Miranda’s devotional mentions, the Christian life is about subjecting ourselves to God’s sovereignty and trusting in His faithfulness, just as Peter and Naaman demonstrated in the Bible verses mentioned. It is comforting to see how your faith and conviction in Christ guide you in your daily walk and in your waiting on the Lord’s promises. May God continue to bless you and strengthen you in your relationship with Him! God bless you greatly!

Wulfredo : If the Lord asks it, then I will do it. Testimonial: I live with my wife in my house. We are older adults. Our children are already organized, each one in their own house. My husband suffered a serious accident and is incapacitated. Having to be his caregiver. The Pastor called me to preach for the first time. To which I explained my situation and she accepted. Instead of carrying the word in person, I do it virtually on social networks. As Peter said, Lord, if you ask it, I will cast my word that runs quickly and does not return empty. Amen.
Wulfredo, thank you for sharing your moving and faith-filled testimony. It is inspiring to see how, despite the difficult circumstances you are going through in caring for your incapacitated wife, you continue to trust in the Lord and respond to His call with courage and obedience. May your preaching on social media be a blessing and reach many hearts, just as Peter said: "Lord, if you ask me, I will send forth my word, so that it may run swiftly and not return empty." May the Holy Spirit guide your words and may the grace of God continue to strengthen you in this beautiful service. Amen! 🙏🏻✨

Francisco Diaz S: Peter was predestined to be an apostle of the Lord, just as Luke, Matthew and the other apostles were. Just as Saul's life was changed and he became the apostle Paul, in the same way any of us can be predestined and if we listen to the call of the Lord and follow it we will be accepted and blessed. Let us trust in God.
Francisco Díaz S, thank you for sharing such a deep and encouraging reflection. It is true that the story of Peter, Luke, Matthew, Paul and other apostles shows us how the call of God can transform lives in surprising ways. We all have a purpose and a calling in the work of the Lord, and by listening to His voice and following Him, we can experience His acceptance and blessing in our lives. What a beautiful invitation to trust in God and in His perfect plan for each one of us! May His grace and direction continue to guide your steps in your walk of faith. God bless you always! 🙏🏻✨
LUIS PEREZ PIMIENTA : Glory and Honor be to the Almighty. Many times the Lord speaks to us in dreams, visions, in his Holy Prophecy, what is to come, he guides us, to follow the path, but this must be accompanied by a great Faith in the Lord so that the purpose is fulfilled in our lives. Many Blessings on this day May my God be with us
What beautiful words, Luis Pérez Pimienta. It is inspiring to see how you recognize the importance of listening to the voice of the Lord through different means, and of having an unwavering faith in His plan for our lives. May your heart remain open to the guidance and revelation of the Almighty, and may that faith in Him strengthen you in every step you take. May the blessings of the Lord always accompany you and may His presence be your constant companion at all times. May God shower you with grace and peace on this day and always! 🙏🏻✨
Betty Casanova : In my meetings with my disciples I always tell them that God's alphabet is not the ABC, it is obedience, which means submission to the truth of the Father in everything without questions or doubts, as Peter did and the blessing came and fully trusting that He has control of our lives when we obey and see with His eyes that He shows us the way. Thank you Father for understanding the situation, obedience in your way!
Betty Casanova, ¡qué hermosa enseñanza compartes con tus discípulas! Es cierto que la obediencia es fundamental en nuestra relación con Dios, siendo la clave para seguir Su voluntad y experimentar Su bendición en nuestras vidas, tal como lo hizo Pedro. Confíar plenamente en que Dios tiene el control cuando obedecemos nos permite ver con Sus ojos y seguir el camino que Él nos señala. Que sigas guiando a otros en esta verdad tan profunda y transformadora. ¡Que la gracia y la sabiduría de Dios sigan iluminando tu camino y el de tus discípulas! ¡Bendiciones en tu labor de enseñanza y discipulado! 🙏🏻✨
