God speaks today Tuesday | August 12, 2025

And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it: (Exodus 36:2)
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. (2 Timothy 1:6)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

God works miraculously through your efforts

In our faith journey, God sometimes acts overwhelmingly in response to our prayers, but most of the time, He requires us to work hard and believe that His power will be with us as we make efforts. God wants us to develop the gifts that His Spirit has imparted to us and bring them to full manifestation, using that warrior spirit He has instilled in us.

Efigenia Vidal : Thank you, Lord, for your word, which day by day builds up my inner being. Certainly, what is expressed in the devotional reflection presented by Pastor Roberto Miranda allows us to exalt the goodness of God, in remembering that we must not extinguish the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer (1 Thess 5:19). Just as making use of the gifts and talents with which we have been endowed is faith, constancy, and perseverance, time and again, is important. I am sure that if there is faith, prayers do not fall on deaf ears, but are received and answered in just the right time. God bless you.
