You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give  it to you. John 15:16

My prayer

Thank you, dear heavenly Father, for loving me so, that you chose me, unworthy as I am. Today, I praise you for such a privilege. I am humbled and thank you, Lord, for having a specific purpose for me: Help me to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and that my fruit will last, so that my prayers get answered, because of Jesus, and for the glory of your name. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Dear Lord,

Even when sickness,

trauma or evil

silences my voice,

you distinctively hear

the cries of my heart.

And in such audible silence

you show your mighty power

giving me your blessing

hour by passing hour. ©Rhodi Alers de López 2012

Thank you, dear heavenly Father, for listening so closely to our hearts even in those difficult moments when we cannot express them out loud. We praise you for your love, your tender care, and your willingness to work in our need. Help us be more like you. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

I Want To Be Grateful

by

Oh, Lord, I want to be grateful
For great and little things alike:
For morning breeze and yellow daffodils,
For darkness, as well as for light.

Oh, Lord, help me to be mindful
Of all the things that others do
To brighten my life in big and small ways,
For they are blessings from above.

Oh, Lord, I want to be thankful
Regardless of what this day brings.
For I have trusted in your mercies, Lord,
And I know that you are with me.

Ayuno & Oración Por Salvación de Hijos & Familia-Semilla de Fe

by

Por la mañana siembra tu semilla, y a la tarde no dejes reposar tu mano; porque no sabes cuál es lo mejor, si esto o aquello, o si lo uno y lo otro es igualmente bueno.

Eclesiastés 11:6

¿Te has preguntado cuándo es el mejor momento para sembrar? Los agricultores de experiencia conocen que los ciclos de la luna afectan la siembra y sus resultados. De acuerdo al ciclo lunar, escogen el mejor momento para la siembra, para la mejor probabilidad de resultados positivos.

¿Cuándo es el mejor momento de sembrar la Palabra de Dios? Nuestra referencia bíblica nos recuerda que tanto en la mañana como en la tarde, (los momentos cuando la familia está reunida) son oportunidades idóneas para sembrar. ¿Cómo se aprovecha el tiempo del culto matutino y vespertino en tu hogar? Es tarea, responsabilidad y privilegio de cada padre, madre sembrar en sus hijos la semilla de la fe en Cristo Jesús. Por el estudio diligente y consecuente, las lecciones de la naturaleza, la oración, culto familiar diario, etc., sembramos para la eternidad.

De la parábola del sembrador obtenemos lecciones importantes:

  1. Sembrar es una obra intencional, no casual.
  2. El terreno requiere preparación con un testimonio positivo, una vida consecuente, al atender las necesidades físicas, etc.
  3. La semilla de la Palabra de Dios se comparte con todos y en todo terreno.
  4. Sembramos únicamente lo que hemos experimentado. Nadie puede sembrar lo que no tiene. Nuestro testimonio personal de comunión con Dios es de suma importancia. 1 Juan 1:3, dice: “Lo que hemos visto y oído, eso os anunciamos, para que también vosotros tengáis comunión con nosotros; y nuestra comunión verdaderamente es con el Padre, y con su Hijo Jesucristo.“
  5. La parábola del sembrador también pone de manifiesto el efecto del suelo sobre la semilla. O sea, la respuesta del corazón en el cual se siembra la semilla. ¿Cómo trata el oyente la semilla? ¿La aprecia, la valora, le da lugar propicio para su crecimiento?

¿Sabías que la siembra es una obra de fe? El sembrador no tiene control ni de la semilla ni de la reacción del terreno donde cae la semilla. Tampoco tiene control sobre el clima y los elementos de la naturaleza. Siembra confiando en:

  • Que la semilla tiene en sí misma la capacidad que Dios puso en ella de germinar y producir.
  • Que el terreno será propicio y responderá favorablemente y permitirá a la semilla el proceso correspondiente para su desarrollo adecuado.
  • Que Dios enviará lluvia y sol necesarios para el desarrollo.
  • En su debido tiempo, cosechará.

No tenemos control de nada, excepto de qué y cuándo sembraremos. Cada oración, cada porción bíblica compartida, cada mensajito, cada recordativo de las cosas eternas es una semilla de fe. Solo Dios produce el crecimiento cuando el terreno asimila la obra del Espíritu Santo. No dejes de orar, no dejes de compartir, no dejes de sembrar, ni de motivar a otros con tu testimonio silente.

Cada oración ferviente elevada con fe por algo recibirá respuesta. Notas Biográficas de EW 228.3

Padre amante, ayúdame a ser intencional y a sembrar en todo momento. Ayúdame para que mi vida sea consecuente con tu verdad. Toca las vidas de nuestros hijos, amigos, familiares y conocidos. Ayúdame a tener fe en ti de que esa semilla producirá fruto de vida eterna. Gracias por obrar en cada uno tu salvación. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén. ©Rhodi Alers de López, 2022

COMPARTE, DEJA TU COMENTARIO, DALE “ME GUSTA”.

Fasting and prayer for the Salvation of Children and Family- Isaiah 55:10-11

by

Promise for this week:

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me [a]void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:10-11).

Para leer esto en Español, presione aquí.

God gave us His Word with a specific purpose: It testifies of Him. That testimony transforms, invigorates, gives life, restores, illuminates, brings hope and prepares us for the heavenly home. How often do you share His Word with those you wish to see in Heaven? Today it is easier than ever. There is no excuse.

Share, share, share…

Share a portion of the Word daily with your family. Even those who seem uninterested will benefit from a promise, a counsel or a story, if you share it in the moment appointed by God. Pray to know what and when to share. Then, remember that His Word will not return empty. It will, little by little, but persistently press on. Soon, those hardened hearts will become sensitive and responsive to the heavenly call because the light from the throne of grace reached that heart! Praise the Lord!

My prayer

Dear heavenly Father:

I thank you for the power of your Word. Teach me which portion of, how and when to share your Word. May each heart of those I love respond to your call. Work your will in each heart, so that your Word does not return void. I thank you for your promise and for the work it will do in my heart and in each member of my family. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

PLEASE, SHARE THIS PROMISE, THAT IT MAY BECOME A BLESSING IN YOUR FAMILY AND MANY MORE FAMILIES.  

This prayer initiative is not done by chance.  Each week we set aside this time to fast and pray specifically for this purpose.

Who? We invite YOU. Join us in prayer and fasting for our children and family.

When?  Each Friday, from 1:00 pm, up to Sabbath at 1:00 pm.

How? After our lunch on Friday, we start fasting: We skip our Friday supper and we also skip breakfast on Sabbath morning. We finish our fast on Sabbath at 1:00 pm (just in time to have the Sabbath lunch with our friends and family!).

NOTE: You can adjust this to your medical needs. One may opt to partially fast by drinking only natural fruit juices or by eating some raw fruit instead of abstaining from food. But it is important that we unite in prayer for our purpose.

Tips for this special time:

  • Silently study today’s Bible verse (s).
  • Set aside different times throughout the day/night to talk to God regarding your loved ones and those you wish to see in heaven. Prayerfully ask the Lord to fulfill this specific promise in your own life and in the lives of your loved ones.
  • Please, remember there are many more united in prayer for this purpose. When you pray, please include a request for all the families united in this endeavor.
  • You may want to write this weekend’s Bible verse(s) and place it where it is visible, as a personal reminder.
  • When it is time to end the fasting (In time for Sabbath lunch with the family, thank God for the victory that He will give to your family and the rest of the families united in prayer.

Remember: We can achieve victory through prayer.

May the Lord bless you abundantly and grant you the requests of your heart according to His promise and great mercy.
