God speaks today Thursday | February 13, 2025

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. (Psalm 18:2)
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (Colossians 2:8)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

My god is deliverer

True freedom is a gift from God, while false freedom leads to debauchery and sin. The psalmist praises God for delivering him from his enemies and spiritual prisons, and encourages us to recognize and appreciate the freedom we have in Christ. Beware of false teachers who deceive with human traditions and conditions for salvation. We can confidently approach God through faith and enjoy freedom in His Spirit. Read more...

Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : The foundation of my faith is Jesus Christ, He is the rock on which I build my faith to not allow other positions of human thought, far from the word of God as a foundation. In itself, man is the instrument that God uses in his divine power to make known his immense wisdom and take advantage of what he left us to serve in this earthly plane. Above the word of God, there are no dogmas that can change my way of respecting the God of life. In my life I can not give room but to his precepts, which he established to be able to walk before his presence with righteousness and honesty, although I can be wrong I know that I can correct with his help and continue under his guidance until he determines my departure. God bless you and give you his anointing.
What a beautiful testimony of faith Efigenia Vidal shares with us. It is inspiring to see how she recognizes Jesus Christ as the foundation of her faith, the solid rock on which she builds her spiritual life. In her commentary, she highlights the importance of not departing from the Word of God and of remaining firm in the divine precepts. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, true freedom is found in Christ, who frees us from the bonds of sin and guides us toward righteousness and honesty. May God's anointing continue to strengthen the faith of Efigenia and all of us! Let us remember the words of Psalm 18:2, where it is revealed to us that "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer." Just as David praised God for his liberation, let us continue to recognize the hand of God in our lives and allow Him to guide us toward true freedom in Christ. Blessings to all!

May this testimony of gratitude be a constant reminder of the freedom we have in Christ. May the peace and freedom of God continue to accompany you on your spiritual path! Let us remember the powerful words of John 8:36, where Jesus tells us: "So if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free." May this truth fill us with joy and inspire us to live in freedom in Christ. God bless you, Enrique!

Francisco Diaz S.: Libertinism turns away from and mocks moral precepts and rejoices in the violation of ethical standards; it is doing whatever one feels like in any circumstance and moment. - Very good definition, humanity is drunk and submerged in sin, rejoicing, calling evil good and calling good obsolete. - Only in Jesus Christ do we free ourselves and find salvation.
What accurate reflections, Francisco Díaz S. It is striking how you describe the reality of debauchery and moral decadence in which humanity often immerses itself. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, the false freedom of debauchery distances us from divine precepts and immerses us in a spiral of sin and debauchery. However, in contrast to this sad reality, we find true freedom and salvation in Jesus Christ. It is in Christ where we find liberation from the chains of sin and where we can experience true redemption. May your testimony remind us of the importance of seeking our freedom and salvation only in Jesus Christ, who offers us a full and restored life. May the light of Christ continue to guide your steps, Francisco! God bless you richly!
Francisco Diaz S.: “See to it that no one takes you captive through empty and deceptive philosophy, which follows human tradition, which is according to the principles of this world and not according to Christ” (Col 2.8). - This warning from the apostle Paul is valid in this current world that is walking in perdition. - Only Jesus saves
What a timely reflection, Francisco Díaz S. It is impressive how you highlight the importance of staying alert to deceptive philosophies and traditions that divert our attention from Christ. As the apostle Paul mentions in Colossians 2:8, we must guard against being captivated by ideas that are far from the truth of Christ and that come from worldly principles. In the midst of a world that often departs from grace and truth, it is essential to remember that only Jesus is our Savior and our hope. May this warning motivate us to hold firmly to Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. In the midst of the adversities and challenges of this world, may we keep our gaze on Him, our only Savior. May the peace and strength of Christ always accompany you, Francisco! God bless you abundantly!
Ruth Vives.: The message in today's devotional is clear. It indicates that only the commandments and doctrines that are written in the Bible and faith in God lead us to salvation. Be careful! Do not confuse ourselves with false teachings and philosophies. Only obedience, faith and the glory of God will save us. God bless you. Amen.
What an accurate reflection, Ruth Vives. It is essential to remember that salvation is found in faith in God and in obedience to His commandments, as mentioned in the devotional by Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas. In a world full of erroneous teachings and deceptive philosophies, it is essential to hold on to the truth revealed in the Bible and keep our faith in God. May your comment inspire us to discern between what is true and what is false, and to remain firm in faith in the midst of adversity. May obedience, faith, and the glory of God guide our steps and lead us to true salvation that only comes from Him. God bless you richly, Ruth! Amen!
Luis Alfredo Ramirez Cano: Knowing the Word, making it our own and walking in the Holy Spirit, does not make us free. There is only one way and that is Jesus Christ. Changing our mind, leaving the rudiments of the world and living according to the teachings of our beloved Father. Strengthening our identity in Christ. So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Likewise, we must learn to judge the word, therefore, Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Our identity is strengthened by studying the Word, keeping it day by day and making it our model and lifestyle.
What a profound reflection, Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano. It is inspiring to see how you highlight the importance of knowing the Word of God, living in the Holy Spirit and following Jesus Christ as the only path to true freedom. As you mention, it is essential to leave worldly values behind, renew our minds and live according to the teachings of our beloved heavenly Father. Remembering that in Christ we are transformed, leaving behind our condition of slavery to become children and heirs of God, is key to strengthening our identity in Him. It is crucial to discern between truth and false teachings, as Jesus warns about false prophets in Matthew 7:15-16. May your comment motivate us to delve deeper into the study of the Word, to live it daily and to be discerning in recognizing the truth. May the Word of God be our manual for life and our model to follow at all times. May the grace and wisdom of God always accompany you, Luis Alfredo! Blessings on your spiritual journey!

What a beautiful statement, Sabino Marroquín López. Recognizing that the greatest treasure for you is the Kingdom of Heaven shows a deep connection with faith and hope in the eternal. As Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:33, seeking first the Kingdom of God and His justice assures us that all other things will be added to us. May your testimony inspire us to value the spiritual above the material, to long for the Kingdom of Heaven as our greatest treasure, and to live in harmony with divine principles. May the peace and fullness of the Kingdom of God continue to manifest in your life. God bless you, Sabino! Amen!
Rodolfo Quirós Ramirez : What a beautiful word, which shows us the great love of God, who sent his son to men, to give us freedom, through him. In which we were prisoners of sin, but his love is so immense, that he gave his life. To give us freedom.
