Rejoice!

By Riqui Ricón*

Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him (Psa 33.1).

Praising God is a joy and it is very difficult to find a believer that doesn’t rejoice in pouring his heart out, through praise and worship, to Whom deserves all glory, forever, this is, Jesus Christ.

However, there is a bigger joy, a better one, that allows you to enjoy God’s plenitude, and that is that you are righteous, because the righteous rejoices in the Lord.

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in^[a] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus (Rom 3.21-26).

Before, when we spoke of justice, integrity and holiness, people felt sorry for themselves, they thought they had lost those virtues by taking bad decisions and living a life of sin. But now, according to the Bible, which is God’s Word, and He doesn’t lie, I’ve been justified for free by the Grace of God, through Jesus’ rendition that made for me, paying the FAIR price for my sins! Which means that, no matter what you have done in and with your life, now, through Jesus Christ, you are righteous. God made this in my favor to make his righteousness shown, which is more sublime that ours, not looking at my sins, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him (John 3.16-17).

So, for God so loved you that he gave his only son, that YOU BELIEVE IN HIM and have eternal life by being justified and made righteous, by His justice.

You can tell me, ‘yes, I know the Bible says so, but, how is that possible?’ This is only possible by divine intervention, which is through an amazing miracle that, completely satisfying all justice, has made of you a whole new person. It is through the New Birth that God has moved you from darkness to His amazing light. It is through the New Birth that God has transform you, from a miserable sinner, doomed to eternal death, into  being God’s righteousness, our Heavenly Father’s loved child, bought by Love for the Life and Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation (2 Cor 5.17-19).

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God (1 John 5.1a).

When you admitted Jesus in your life as your Lord and Savior, the spirit that you were and that was death, did not come back to life being the same, on the contrary, you were made new, completely new by the Holy Ghost and God’s Word, so you can enjoy a fulfilled and a abundant Eternal Life.

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God (1 P 1.23).

So, you have been declared righteous and saint, therefore you have the right to have a life filled with joy, peace, health, prosperity and victory. Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean that you won’t have problems or setbacks. No! On the contrary! Jesus said: ‘I have told t you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world (John 16.33)

Yes, you’ll have test and afflictions, but The Lord will deliver you from all and you will defeat them through He Who has loved you, Jesus Christ. For you are righteous, you are God’s justice, and you belong to Him, you are his/her beloved child and you have already conquered the world because He who is in you is greater than the one who’s in the world.

So, it doesn’t matter what you’re living today, Rejoice! God, your Father, is with you, and if He’s with you, who, and I really wonder, who can go against you?

Let us pray out loud:

Heavenly father, it is so good to know myself being so loved by You. Thank you, Lord Jesus, because, not only did you provide forgiveness of sins, but you made me God’s justice in You and you brought peace between God an me, making me your sibling and The Father’s child. It is because of you, my beloved Jesus, that I’m born again and now God, the All Mighty is my Father, my Dad. Reading about this in Your Word, the Bible, makes me know the truth, and the Truth shall set me free. I am free to receive, through faith in You, Jesus, this New Life. I am free to receive, through faith in Your Word, this identity as God’s child, born again, not from a corruptible seed, but from the incorruptible one, the Word of God, that lives and lingers forever. Therefore, beloved Father, each and every one of the promises that are in Your word, are mine and for me. I can pray today with all the certainty that you are listening and will answer. I have joy and peace in my heart because I can ask and receive. Therefore, in Jesus powerful name, I declare myself healed and free from any disease or pain, I believe and receive the written will of my Father, God All Mighty, to be and live prospered in all things. I cast away any fear and doubt thought, fighting against every lie about me. I am the person that the Bible says I am. A beloved Child of God, my father’s special treasure, I can do everything in Christ, for he strengthens me, and I am a conqueror in all, absolutely all things, through the love of Jesus, my King, Lord and Savior. Lord Jesus, today I rejoice in the joy and peace that, the knowledge of being the person You say I am, gives me. Amen.

How to make dreams come true!

<ESPAÑOL>

Saturday, January 28th, 2012.

I can dream the best things of my life!

By Riqui Ricón*

But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him. “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.” (Gen 37.18-20).

Your enemy’s work (Satan’s work), has always been to kill your dreams so he can steal your identity as God’s child born again. However, your Heavenly Father created you by giving you life first, and then he chose you to be an heir of eternal salvation by giving you the identity of His child through Jesus Christ.

he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— (Eph 1.5).

After he had finished his work, he became the source of eternal salvation for everyone who obeys him (Heb 5.9 GW).

So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir (Gal 4.7).

One time the prophet Elisha said to the shunammite woman, who had no kids and had treated the so well. Even so that she had built them a room: “About this time next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!” But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her (2 Kin 4.16-17).

This woman had already lost all hopes to see her dream of being a mother come true, so much that she accused the prophet of mocking her regrettable situation. The reality was that she could not have kids because of her sterility, but the truth was that the prophet spoke in God’s name and she could see her dream come true, even though she had no faith to believe it!

How could this happen? How can someone recover from an already spent life? How can a long lost dream come true? It all started with this woman desire to have under his roof this God’s prophet, and therefore, His Word.

She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. ¹⁰ Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us.” (2 Kin 4.9-10).

She got her dream back, and her life, by wishing she could treasure the prophet and his message, this is, the Word of God.

Many Christians, sons and daughters of God, born again, think that, because of the life the led, they have already lost their chance to fulfill their dreams and resign to live a “normal” meaningless life lacking in sense.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (Joh 10.10).

Nothing is further away from the Truth than resignation. You are God’s child and have all the right to take your life back, dream and believe again, because everything is possible for one that believes.

Because of Jesus Christ, you, beloved brethren, can aspire, from this instant, to live a fulfilled life in the God’s plenitude. Don’t allow Satan to rob you from your dreams and determine yourself to live in the sureness of your faith, since if God said it, then HE will do it, if He spoke it, then, He will fulfill. There isn’t the slightest possibility that God will not honor His Word.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him (Joh 3.16-17).

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 Joh 3.1a).

It doesn’t matter if you are having economic or family problems right now, or if you’re suffering from illness or depression, God tells you today, through this reading and through His Word, that you are important to Him; that He has never left you, nor will he ever leave you; that He loves you so much that He preferred giving up His only Son, Jesus, than losing you; that it’s time to go back home and recover your dreams.

Let us pray out loud:

Heavenly Father, in this hour I want to thank you for so much love with which you have loved me. Thank you Lord, for paying the price of all my sins and given me eternal life. Today I can stand with my head held high and a grateful heart, since what you did for me on the cross made me a Reborn Child of God. I am a new creation! Old things have passed and here are all the new doings in my life. In the name of Jesus I call upon my sanity, the health of my body and the emotional stability in my life, for I now know who I am: I call upon my financial freedom. I believe and declare that I am the person You, oh Holy Father, say in Your Word that I am. I am free and blissful for the Almighty is with me. I shall dream once again to realize all that I have been called to be. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

How to forgive those who have hurt you!

<ESPAÑOL>

Monday, March 19th, 2012.

You’re not worth it!

By Riqui Ricón*

In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.  “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”  (Mat 18.34-35).

One of the obstacles that human beings tremble upon is lack of forgiveness. Resentment is one of Satan’s favorite emotions, which he uses to invalid, with great efficiency, all the gifts and purposes God has equipped you with.

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God (1 Pet 1.23).

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Co 5.17).

The Bible, the Word of God, does not lie, and It says that you are God’s child, born again, and this, your new nature, does not come from a corruptible seed but from the incorruptible seed, that is, the Word of God that lives and lingers forever. It also says that, now, all the old things have been and EVERYTHING in your life has been renewed by the power and the love that God feels for you.

However, when you stop seeing and believing who you are, according to God’s Word, you start listening to that voice that brings back all the ugly memories from the past, where you were hurt, humiliated and betrayed.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past (Isa 43.18).

If you really think about it, the funny thing is, most of the time, those people that offended you, most likely don’t even remember you, or what happened, while you relive it as it just happened, keeping the memory fresh and loading yourself with emotions and feelings that make your effectiveness as a son/daughter of the Kingdome null. For you have been made righteous by Jesus blood, and the righteous shall live by faith and faith works through The Love.

In the parable of today’s lecture, Jesus teaches you that he who refuses to forgive his neighbor is like the one thrown in the dungeons with the executioner until he pays all his debts . Now, the executioners (demons) have the job of tormenting you until you’re a few steps from death, but they must never kill you, so they can keep your torture indefinitely and, if this wasn’t enough, being in such condition, you will never be able to pay what you owe.

The spirit of resentment acts the same way, putting you in a prison to torment you frequently.

“This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins (Mat 6.9-15).

So, do not lose your identity! Always remember who you are! God is your Father and he wishes you well, that is why he asks you to be free of the lack of forgiveness.

But, how to do it? How to achieve it? How to forgive? How to forget? By remembering and always believing what the Bible, the Word of God, says of you: you already are a son/daughter of God, born again and all the old things are past and now, in Jesus Christ, EVERYTHING IS NEW.

You are no longer that person that was offended, hurt, or injured, no! None of that! Now you are a son/daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Your life and destiny are now resolved with and in Him. You don’t have to try to forgive, just BELIEVE, everything is possible for one who BELIEVES. BELIEVE that you are that prince/princess that the Bible says you already are.

because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death (Ro 8.2).

This is a Law established by God, and this Law of the life spirit in Jesus Christ HAS ALREADY MADE YOU FREE from the law of sin and death.  For which, now, you are beyond any executioner, any hate or resentment.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy (1 P 2.9-10).

Only if you use your army’s weapons, which are not in the flesh but powerful in God, to the destruction of fortress and say to resentment: You are not worth it!

Let us pray out loud:

Heavenly Father, in this hour I come to You because I’ve believed and received Your Love. Because of what You, Jesus, did on that cross for me, I am that son/daughter of God, born again, that the Bible, Your Word, says I am.  Therefore, I get rid of all the weigh and sin that follows me, and I run with patience and constancy and persistency to the run I have ahead of me, I set my eyes upon You, Jesus, the author and consumer of my faith, and I am determined to forgive and forget, today, all the transgressions that I still keep alive in my memory. All that great debt You forgave me to make me Your son/daughter, righteous, saint and perfect. So, I perfectly know that I can also forgive my debtors. Thank you, Lord, for such a great Love. I am determined to live this new life, fulfilling and abundantly, that you bought for me with your precious Blood. For this, I believe and declare that I, ________________ (your name here) am healed! I am free! I am prosperous! I am more than conqueror! I can do all in Christ! And I am happy to live a fulfilled and abundant life by Jesus Blood. Thank you so much, Lord Jesus. Thank you for this new prosperous life I now have. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for my health, thank you for my prosperity. Thank you for the love, peace and joy that I now enjoy. In Jesus name. Amen.

How to be God’s Special Treasure!

<ESPAÑOL>

Saturday, February 18th, 2012.

Everything is possible for one who believes!

By Riqui Ricón*

Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Ex 19.5-6a NIV).

There’s a great love for you inside the requests that God, your father, makes in His Word, The Bible. “Pay attention to my voice”, “listen to my Word”, “think on it day and night”, “seek my Word”, “keep It”, “treasure It” and so many more, like the one that’s as a title of this thoughts, show that, every time, the will of God in your life is to bless you.

God, the Allmighty, does not need obedient creatures, He already has millions! And He can create more. What He wants and asks from you is that you believe in Him. That you believe His Word and trust in Him like a son trusts his father that loves him.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3.16-17 NIV).

The New Covenant, in the blood of Jesus, is a love pact! This is the first thing you’ve got to believe Him, that, in spite of what you were and what you’ve done with your life, God loves you so much that He preferred to give up His only Son, to pay for all your sins, than lose you.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus  (Eph 2.4-6 NIV).

All your failures and sins were already paid in that cross. Now, you’ve been moved from death to life, from the shadows territory to the admirable light of Jesus Christ. Because He lives, you live! You have a brand new life along with Jesus.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Cor 5.17 NIV).

The difference between being a obedient creature and being named “my special treasure” by God, lies in what you now know and believe, the Word of God. Who tell you that He has made you a whole new person.  The old nature, corrupt and sinful, that had you tied to sin, is dead, nailed to Christ’s cross.

Please understand this, it does not matter if you don’t feel like it, or if you still think you’re the same sinner that you were before. This new life does not depend on what you do or feel, but on what Jesus did, for His love to you. It is written! It is the Word of God against your emotions, notions and feelings. It is the Word of God and the Truth!

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 NIV).

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God (1 Pet 1.23 NIV).

Now you are a new being that never existed before, you are a son/daughter of God, born again, not from a corrupt seed but from the uncorrupt seed, which is the Word of God, that lives and lingers for ever.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10.10 NIV).

It is because of the blood in the New Covenant in Jesus that you now enjoy the Eternal Life of God’s children. You have all the right to do with your new life a fulfilled and abundant life.

because God has said,  “Never will I leave you;  never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence,  “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.  What can mere mortals do to me?” (Heb 13.5b-6 NIV).

All this and more is what makes you be the special treasure of you heavenly Father. You can trust in Him. Everything God has said, He will do. Everything that God has spoken, He will make it happen. For, all heaven and earth will stop to exist before God stops fulfilling His Word

Everything is possible for one who believes!

Let us pray out loud:

Heavenly Father, You are truly amazing. To listen you saying in Your Word, in spite of what I did with my life, that I am your special treasure, your beloved son/daughter, makes me feel so much love and gratitude towards you, my God. Jesus thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I want to tell you today that I love you with all my heart, that I am forever gratefull. I have accepted this new covenant in Your blood and will live according to Your Word, the Bible. I am, and will always, be the person that You, Oh Lord, say I am, in Your Word! I am a winner, through the love of Christ! I can do all! You are bigger, Holy Ghost, than any problem, disease or circumstance! You, my beloved Jesus, carried my diseases and suffered through my pain and because of your wounds I was healed. There for I declare myself healed, freed and rich to make my new fulfilling life that you, Jesus, paid for me. Nothing and no one in this world can keep me from fulfilling your purpose, my God. I am your special treasure! I am your beloved son/daughter! In the name of Jesus. Amen.
