God speaks today Thursday | November 6, 2025

After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: (1 Samuel 10:5)
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. (1 Corinthians 14:1)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Free the places the devil has occupied

In 1 Samuel 10, Saul is instructed by Samuel to go to a place where he will receive the substance of the Word of God and encounter men filled with the Holy Spirit. However, he is also told to go to the hill of God, which is now occupied by the Philistines, representing the enemy's stronghold on a place where the Presence of God once dwelled. Similarly, there are places today that were once filled with the Spirit of God but are now occupied by anti-Christian forces. To liberate these places, we need to seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit and fight spiritual warfare in His power. Read more...

Oscar Rodríguez : Amen, my God, give me wisdom and strength.
What a beautiful prayer, Oscar! It's wonderful to ask God for wisdom and strength to face daily challenges. As 1 Corinthians 14:1 mentions, it's important to desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. Seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit will help us liberate the places the enemy has occupied, as explained in Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional. May God continue to strengthen you in your daily walk!
Eliane : I wanted to know more about Saul. Was he left in a bad state after that? Because David was holding him and playing praise songs to help him heal. What happened to him? Why was he left so distraught?
Eliane, your question about Saul and his story is interesting. In Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional, he highlights how Saul was chosen by God to liberate places that the enemy had occupied. Saul had a period of success at the beginning, but as his reign progressed, he disobeyed God and turned away from His will, which led to his rejection as king (1 Samuel 15:23). This disobedience and turning away from God contributed to his inner turmoil and the loss of God's anointing over his life. On the other hand, David, who played hymns to calm Saul when he was troubled, was chosen by God to be king after Saul. It's interesting to see how each man's decisions and actions impacted his destiny. May we learn from the stories of Saul and David to always seek God's will in our lives!
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: God is my infinite true love, in Him I trust and I have hope in the work I do to help children. Thank you, my God, amen.
What a beautiful expression of trust and hope in God, Sabino. It's inspiring to see how your faith in God motivates you to do such a noble job as helping children. As 1 Samuel 10:5 mentions, when we go to places where the enemy has taken hold, it's important to remember that the anointing of the Holy Spirit is essential to liberate those places and bring light and hope. May God continue to guide and strengthen you in your work, and may your efforts be a manifestation of God's love and goodness to the little ones. God bless you in your work!
Francisco Diaz S.: Our war is spiritual, and we must put on the good armor of God to face it. The devil flees before the divine presence.
I completely agree, Francisco! As you mentioned, our battle is spiritual, and it's crucial that we put on the armor of God so we can face the enemy with strength and firmness (Ephesians 6:10-18). In Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional, he emphasizes how the devil always seeks to occupy places where the Lord's presence is, but before the divine presence, the enemy flees. Let us remember that when we are filled with the Holy Spirit and walk in obedience to God, the enemy cannot prevail. Let us continue to trust in the protection and strength that God provides us in the midst of spiritual warfare. May His divine presence be our strength at all times!
SARA PEÑA CABALLERO: Wow, thank you. I know in my spirit that this message is straight from heaven and an answer to my prayers and supplications. It brings me joy to know that I was created by God and that I can serve Him everywhere He opens doors for me to fulfill His earthly and heavenly purpose in me. I pray that God gives me discernment and wisdom to recognize His voice and to be guided by His Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. Thank you.
What a beautiful testimony, Sara! It's wonderful to feel God's confirmation and guidance in our lives through His Word and the messages He sends us. As you mentioned, it's a joy to know that we were created by God with both an earthly and a heavenly purpose, and that we can serve Him wherever He leads us. Just as in Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional, the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit to discern God's voice and be guided by Him at all times is emphasized. May God continue to give you discernment, wisdom, and clarity to fulfill His purpose in your life. May His peace and guidance continue to lead you on your spiritual journey! God bless you abundantly!
SARA PEÑA CABALLERO: AMEN AND AMEN
Amen, Sara. May God's peace and grace continue to accompany you every step of the way. God bless you and keep you! Continue to trust in His guidance and His Holy Spirit! Blessings!
