God speaks today Wednesday | May 24, 2023

For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. (Isaiah 30:15)
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:33)
Milagros García Klibansky

The value of renunciation

Judaism requires converts to live within 2 km of the synagogue, as a sacrifice to their spiritual life. However, as Christians, we should not see giving up certain things as sacrifices, but rather as resignations to prioritize our relationship with God. Every person's relationship with God is unique and there is no pre-established pattern to follow. We should not impose our own lifestyles on others, but rather focus on our own hearts and where our treasure lies. The apostle Paul's example of counting all things as loss for the sake of Christ is a model for us to follow. Recommended reading: Titus 2 and 3. Read more...

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. (Philippians 3:7)
And he left all, rose up, and followed him. (Luke 5:28)
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! (Luke 13:34)

YOkASTA Nunez de lugo: These words have been a great blessing
How wonderful that these words have been a blessing to you, YOKASTA! As the author Milagros García Klibansky says: "In repentance and in rest they will be saved; in stillness and trust is their power." Let us always remember the importance of repenting and resting in the trust of the Lord. Blessings!
Gustavo Martinez Afanador : When the Christian arrives at the feet of CHRIST, his soul comes loaded, he needs to renounce everything that is a burden for his soul, for what we are going to receive is salvation and eternal life for a lifetime, but we have to live a life of faith and trust with the LORD. Blessings
Amen Gustavo! As Milagros García Klibansky mentions: "Thus, any of you who does not renounce all your possessions cannot be My disciple." It is important that we renounce everything that distances us from God and burdens our souls, in order to follow Christ and receive eternal life. May we continue to live a life of faith and trust in the Lord. Blessings!
