How to Solve Your Life!

God Does Not Lie! He always fulfills!

By Riqui Ricón*

Now the LORD has fulfilled the promise He made, for I have become king in place of my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the LORD promised. I have built this temple to honor the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. (2 Chronicles 6:10 NLT)

Solomon did not take credit for fulfilling God’s Word concerning the consolidation of the kingdom and the building of the temple. Instead, he acknowledged before all the people that it was God—and God alone—who fully accomplished everything He had promised.

He prayed, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion. You have kept your promise to your servant David, my father. You spoke that promise with your own mouth, and today you have fulfilled it with your own hands. (2 Chronicles 6:14–15 NLT)

Today is a good day for you to meditate on God’s Word and decide, once and for all, to believe that your Heavenly Father is one hundred percent trustworthy. He CANNOT lie! And everything—absolutely everything—that has come from His mouth, God will fulfill.

God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. (Numbers 23:19–20 KJV)

Solomon knew perfectly well that God IS trustworthy. They—just as surely as you have too—experienced time and again the fulfillment of EACH and EVERY

promise God has made in the Bible: healing, restoration, protection from their enemies, freedom, prosperity, and more.

In fact, without faith it is impossible to please God. Anyone who wants to draw near to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 NLT)

Trust is the same as faith; it is believing God by believing His Word. The foundation of trust is the Word. The source of your confidence in God’s Word depends on whether you truly BELIEVE that the Bible is the Word of Honor of your God and Father.

The Bible is not a book of religion nor a treatise on theology. The Bible is the Eternal and Infallible Word of God.

For you have been born again, but not into a life that will soon end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal and living Word of God. (1 Peter 1:23 NLT)

The Word of Honor of God is alive and endures forever!

In fact, Jesus expressed this very clearly when He said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (Luke 21:33 KJV)

These unique characteristics of the Bible—being God’s Word, always being fulfilled, and enduring forever—make it the Truth and, therefore, completely trustworthy.

It is no coincidence that, according to God’s Word, which cannot lie, the secret to your happiness is based solely on your trust in God and nothing else.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee. (Psalm 84:12 KJV)

Perhaps right now you’re thinking: “Riqui Ricón, I already know all this. I believe the Bible is God’s Word and I trust Him completely.” Excellent! Then you are the happiest man (or woman) on earth, because you know, beyond

any doubt, that God, your Father, is with you; and if God is with you, what problem, trouble, or illness can stand against you?

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? (Romans 8:31–32 KJV)

You are the happiest man (or woman) on earth because, even though you may face trials and affliction, you enjoy a peace that surpasses all understanding, since you trust completely in the One who has overcome the world and is now your Lord, Savior, and Elder Brother.

I have told you these things so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. (John 16:33 NLT)

You are the happiest man (or woman) on earth because you have overcome all who rise against you, criticizing your life and wishing you every kind of harm. You have defeated all these enemies by relying solely on God, your Father, who lives in you and with you.

Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4 KJV)

You are the happiest man (or woman) on earth because there is no problem, trouble, or illness that can defeat you.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. (Romans 8:37 KJV)

You are the happiest man (or woman) on earth because, whatever calamity may be affecting the world, God, your Father, has pledged His Word to protect you from all harm.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou

trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. (Psalm 91:3–13 KJV)

You are the happiest man (or woman) on earth because you are fully convinced that your new life as a Born-Again Child of God will last forever, since it comes from the eternal and living Word of God. Therefore, you live your life in fullness, without the slightest trace of fear.

For you have been born again, but not into a life that will soon end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal and living Word of God. (1 Peter 1:23 NLT)

You are the happiest man (or woman) on earth because any sickness or ailment that might try to affect you and make a claim on your body has ALREADY been paid for!

Surely He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4–5 KJV)

Finally, you are the happiest man (or woman) on earth because the One and Almighty God has declared that you are legally and legitimately a beloved Child of His.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. (1 John 3:1 NLT)

How could you NOT be the happiest man (or woman) on earth when your life is fully resolved?

“Well, Riqui, I know that everything you write is God’s Word, that it is God’s Will, and that it is the Truth, but…”

Don’t worry. I understand perfectly. However, today, you and I, like Paul, can say:

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. (Philippians 3:13–14 NLT)

And although we certainly do not claim to have already reached it, what you must know—and above all, believe—is that for this endeavor, to live the Full and Abundant Life that Jesus Christ purchased for you, you need FAITH. And the only source of faith in this world is reading and meditating on the Bible.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the message about Christ. (Romans 10:17 NLT)

What you must know and BELIEVE today is that the key to your existence in this world, the secret to receiving the heavenly prize to which God has called you, and the only way you can seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness so that all else will be added to you, is by making the Bible—God’s Word of Honor—the Supreme Standard of your life.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8 KJV)

If you can believe God by believing His Word, then to the one who believes God through His Word, ALL things are possible.

Let us pray aloud:

Beloved Heavenly Father, today I want to thank You for Your Word, the Bible. Thank You because You are one hundred percent trustworthy, and I can believe everything You tell me. Thank You because trusting in You produces in me an ever-increasing and eternal weight of glory; a certainty and peace that, no matter the situation, illness, or affliction I face today, I will be more than a conqueror through Your Love, Christ Jesus.

Thank You for the Words of Good and not of harm that You have spoken about me. Thank You because You, Almighty God, are with me—who can be against me? Thank You, Lord Jesus, because You have overcome the world, and Your Words of Truth give me Peace. Thank You, Holy Spirit, because You who are in me and with me are greater than anyone in the world. Thank You, Abba Father, because You protect me from all harm. Thank You for giving me Eternal Life.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, because You carried my illnesses and suffered my pains, and by Your wounds I have already been healed. Thank You because, despite what I was, You gave me Life together with Christ and made me a legitimate Child of Yours. Lord my God, I am fully convinced that each and every one of Your Promises is mine, yes and amen. Therefore, I submit to You, my Father, I submit to Your Word. I resist Satan and his lies, and he must flee from my life. I will not receive doubt, fear, illness, poverty, distress, or depression.

I believe in Your Word of Honor and declare with all my heart that I am healthy! Free! Prosperous! Happy! Thank You because my life is resolved. Thank You for so much and for Your immense Love.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Important Note:

How do I become a child of God? How can I establish a relationship with the Almighty?

Just say the following prayer out loud, putting all your attention and heart into what you are saying to God:

Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God. That You came into this world, born of the virgin Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have been a sinner. That is why today I say to You: I do accept. I do accept Your sacrifice on the cross! I do accept Your precious blood, shed to the last drop out of love for me!

I open my heart and invite You to come in, because I want You, Lord Jesus, from this day forward and forever, to be my only and sufficient Savior, my God, my King, and my Lord. Thank You, Almighty God, because with this simple prayer and profession of faith I have passed from death to Life; I have been transferred from darkness into Your marvelous Light. Today I am Born Again! God, now I am Your child! Now You are my Father! I will never be alone again! I will never live defeated again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Three Recommendations:

What just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life, according to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ, who is now your Older Brother. Therefore, I give you these three, very important, recommendations:

1.

Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice how God always responds to your heart.

2.

Read and meditate on the Word of God. The Bible is the Word of God, so get a Bible and start reading and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day, look up the reading program “The Bible in One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year (palabradehonor.org). You will notice that the program is set up so you can print it as a booklet.

3.

In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based on the Good News, which are the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

September 1 John 9:1–23 / 2 Chronicles 6 / Malachi 2:17–3:18

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind 9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. 8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.” 10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. 11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.” 12 “Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said. The Pharisees Investigate the Healing 13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath. 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided. 17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.”

18 They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?” 20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” 6 Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; 2 I have built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever.” 3 While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed them. 4 Then he said: “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his hands has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David. For he said, 5 ‘Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel. 6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.’ 7 “My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel. 8 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. 9 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’ 10 “The LORD has kept the promise he made. I have succeeded David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the LORD promised, and I have built the temple for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel. 11 There I have placed the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD that he made with the people of Israel.” Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication 12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands. 13 Now he had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,[a] and had placed it in the center of the outer court. He stood on the platform and then knelt down before the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven. 14 He said: “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. 15 You have

kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today. 16 “Now, LORD, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me according to my law, as you have done.’ 17 And now, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David come true. 18 “But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! 19 Yet, LORD my God, give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence. 20 May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, this place of which you said you would put your Name there. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place. 21 Hear the supplications of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive. 22 “When anyone wrongs their neighbor and is required to take an oath and they come and swear the oath before your altar in this temple, 23 then hear from heaven and act. Judge between your servants, condemning the guilty and bringing down on their heads what they have done, and vindicating the innocent by treating them in accordance with their innocence. 24 “When your people Israel have been defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you and when they turn back and give praise to your name, praying and making supplication before you in this temple, 25 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them back to the land you gave to them and their ancestors. 26 “When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, and when they pray toward this place and give praise to your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them, 27 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance. 28 “When famine or plague comes to the land, or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers, or when enemies besiege them in any of their cities, whatever disaster or disease may come, 29 and when a prayer or plea is made by anyone among your people Israel—being aware of their afflictions and pains, and spreading out their hands toward this temple— 30 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive, and deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know the human heart), 31 so that they will fear you and walk in obedience to you all the time they live in the land you gave our ancestors.

32 “As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when they come and pray toward this temple, 33 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name. 34 “When your people go to war against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray to you toward this city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name, 35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause. 36 “When they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you become angry with them and give them over to the enemy, who takes them captive to a land far away or near; 37 and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity and say, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong and acted wickedly’; 38 and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity where they were taken, and pray toward the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you have chosen and toward the temple I have built for your Name; 39 then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their pleas, and uphold their cause. And forgive your people, who have sinned against you. 40 “Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 41 “Now arise, LORD God, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. May your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation, may your faithful people rejoice in your goodness. 42 LORD God, do not reject your anointed one. Remember the great love promised to David your servant.” Breaking Covenant Through Injustice 17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. “How have we wearied him?” you ask.

By saying, “All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them” or “Where is the God of justice?” 3 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years. 5 “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the LORD Almighty. Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes 6 “I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD Almighty. “But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’ 8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty. Israel Speaks Arrogantly Against God 13 “You have spoken arrogantly against me,” says the LORD. “Yet you ask, ‘What have we said against you?’ 14 “You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What do we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty? 15 But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly evildoers prosper, and even when they put God to the test, they get away with it.’”

The Faithful Remnant 16 Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name. 17 “On the day when I act,” says the LORD Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.
