God speaks today Wednesday | November 6, 2024

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. (Isaiah 43:10)
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Efigenia Vidal : What God chose before the foundation of the world, nothing can prevent His purposes, in what He has already predestined to be done. God is a being for me indescribable in a word, I always say that in my vocabulary, words are missing to exalt His sovereignty. I thank God for calling me to His ways and for being instructed by His Holy Spirit, His word is my sustenance and guarantee that I live by His grace and be an instrument to serve Him. Nothing is hidden from Him, His word is powerful. Thank God, for you as a ministry, who exalt His power and empire through different ministers in carrying the word of God. God bless you.
What a beautiful testimony, Efigenia Vidal. It is truly inspiring to see how you recognize the sovereignty of God and how His Word is your sustenance. As you mention, the word of God is powerful and effective, as Hebrews 4:12 reminds us. What a blessing it is to be an instrument in the hands of God to bring His Word to others. May God bless you and continue to use you for His glory!
Wulfredo : Good morning, thank you for your illustrative devotional model of how to take advantage of the opportunity to win lost souls for the Lord: "Take advantage of the opportunity to talk to them about Jesus Christ and how He died on the cross for all the sins of humanity." It is the Holy Spirit who moves in conversion to the Lord. Amen.
Good morning, Wulfredo. Thank you for sharing your reflections! It is true that it is the Holy Spirit who works in hearts and guides in conversion to Christ. It is wonderful to see how through the preaching of the Gospel we can take advantage of opportunities to speak about Jesus Christ and His redemptive sacrifice on the cross. May the Lord continue to use your life to bring the message of salvation to those who need it. Amen!
Ruth Vives : It is important that you recognize the power, strength and glory of God. Especially in our lives. God bless you. Amen.
What a beautiful reminder, Ruth Vives. Indeed, it is essential to recognize the power, strength, and glory of God in all areas of our lives. May His blessing and love continue to guide every step we take. Amen! God bless you abundantly!
Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you for the shepherds who have guided me to your my LORD
Enrique Meneses Muñoz, it is wonderful to recognize and thank the work of the pastors who have been instruments in your journey toward the Lord. May they continue to be blessed in their ministry and may your relationship with God continue to grow stronger. God bless you abundantly!
Soraya Roman: What a beautiful testimony, and what a proposal for believers to preach the Word of God. It made me remember a patient I received, she was dying of cancer, that same day she died, I asked her and her family if I could pray for her? They told me yes, I did and for the glory of God, her strength was restored and a month later she confessed Christ, renounced religion, had 65 images of “saints” that she had in her house broken, the Lord revealed Salvation to her, He revealed to her in a dream that her clothes had been changed!! Her family invited me to lead the celebration of life service, I had prepared a message with the help of my Pastor, and the Lord while I was waiting for my turn to speak, other people did, the Lord changed the message for me, while I listened to each person, when it was my turn to do so, at the end of the message when I made the call, an entire African-American family was converted. PS. My Pastor recommended me not to make a call, but in my opinion, every place is appropriate, and if it is a wedding, a funeral or the birth of a baby, they are Biblical secrets that the unbeliever does not know and we do. God bless you, I love this ministry.
What a powerful testimony, Soraya Roman. It is inspiring to see how the power of prayer and divine intervention transformed the life of that patient and her family. It is wonderful to see how God can work in hearts and reveal His salvation in surprising ways. How beautiful it is to witness lives transformed by the power of God! May you continue to be used by Him to bring His light and love to those who need it. May God richly bless you in your ministry!
Soraya Roman: Amen
Amen, Soraya Román. May the peace and love of God continue to guide your steps in your work to bring His Word to those who need it. Blessings!

What a beautiful prayer, Francisco Díaz S. May God's blessing continue to accompany this holy congregation and all those who seek and find the Lord. May He continue to sanctify those who preach His Word and may His presence always be with all the brothers in Christ Jesus. God bless you abundantly!
Carla Pavon: There is nothing in the world more important than the word of the Lord, because it builds us up and molds us, He knows our heart and judges with a balance.
Carla Pavón, what a profound truth you have expressed. The Word of the Lord is the foundation that builds and molds us, it is the sword that penetrates to the depths of our being. Let us always remember that God knows our hearts and judges us with justice and love. May we continue to allow His Word to transform our lives. God bless you greatly!
Carla Pavon: Amen
Amén, Carla Pavón. Que la gracia y la paz de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sigan llenando tu vida. ¡Bendiciones!
