God speaks today Wednesday | August 13, 2025

When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. (Deuteronomy 18:9)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

The mathematics of faith

When we enter the ways of God, we have to change our minds and begin to live life in light of principles different from those used in the world. This requires a renewal of the mind, a transformation, a change of mind. People who enter the ways of God but do not change their minds still process life's challenges and decisions according to the same mental patterns they used in the world. To function effectively in the world of the Spirit, we have to change our minds and adjust our mental processes to the laws of the universe of faith. The main thing is that to function effectively in the world of the Spirit, we have to change our minds and adjust our mental processes to the laws of the universe of faith. We compute with a different math, and that math is based on the principle of faith. Read more...

Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : Thank you, Lord, because it is your grace that makes me understand how important it is to stand before you with an open face. How much truth is contained in today's devotional reading. Thank you, Pastor Roberto Miranda, for this contribution, which confirms the gratitude, love, and obedience a believer should have in their daily actions. Certainly, he who loves God desires to please Him, as well as seeks what is good, so that we can understand the renewal of the mind in the spiritual realm, so that the new self may emerge, subject to constant renewal, for there is a hunger to know more about God's character, to honor and serve Him. What Ephesians 4:22 says has been growing in my inner self, as I have kept in mind the discernment of how to act or respond to a situation that may affect or bother me. Thank you. God bless you.
