How to Receive All the Good God
Has Done for You You
Only Have to Believe It! It Is Written!
By Riqui
Ricón*
You have dealt well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word. (Psalm
119:65, KJV)
The more you read the Bible, the more you’ll
be amazed at the love that
Almighty God has for you. As if rescuing you
at the cost of His own Son’s life wasn’t enough, He also wrote down His Will—to bless you and never to harm
you.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good
and not for disaster, to give you a future
and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11,
NLT)
Honestly, I can’t understand the words of those who preach a God of
judgment
and revenge—a God who’s only watching your mistakes to correct you and
teach you holiness
through the terrible
and “inevitable” consequences of your
sins.
This is good and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all people to be saved and
to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator
between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for
all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. (1
Timothy 2:3–6, NIV)
God’s will is for EVERY person to reach the
fullness of Life through the knowledge of the Truth. And this is only possible
through the sacrifice
of Love that Jesus made for
ALL of us when He gave His Life as the payment for our ransom. He paid with His
blood and His life for all those terrible and
“inevitable” consequences of your sins.
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)
God loves you so much that He preferred to give up His own Son rather
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. (Ephesians
2:4–5, NIV)
This salvation—this fullness
of life—is not something you can earn by your own
merit. That’s why you must be willing to be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, so you can prove that the
Lord’s will for your life is good, pleasing, and perfect.
Don’t copy the behavior and
customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing
the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
(Romans 12:2, NLT)
In other words, change the way you think about God. God is good, and His mercy endures forever!
You were taught, with regard to your former
way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful
desires; to be made new in the attitude
of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:22–24, NIV)
Whatever situation you’re going through today, the Bible—the Word of
God, which cannot lie—affirms that if you’ve
already accepted Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life, then you belong
to Him, and YOU HAVE ALREADY WON, because greater is He who is in you than he
who is in the world.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one
who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (1
John 4:4, NIV)
Always remember this: God has declared in His Word that
He will do good to you! God has decreed in His Word that YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!
And a highway will be
there; it will be
called the Way of
Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The
unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be
there, nor any ravenous
beast; they will not be found
there. But only the redeemed
will walk there,
and those the Lord
has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their
heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee
away. (Isaiah 35:8–10, NIV)
And I ask myself: if salvation is by grace—meaning it’s a gift from God—then why do some people act as if we
have to pay for it?
God saved you by his grace when you
believed. And you can’t take credit for this;
it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we
are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ
Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us
long ago. (Ephesians 2:8–10, NLT)
You can be sure of this: Christ
Jesus already paid the price,
and you don’t have to pay it
again. So let joy come into your life—let everlasting gladness rest upon your
head, and let joy and happiness rise up in you so that sorrow and sighing flee
away forever!
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared
not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us
all things? (Romans 8:31–32, KJV)
You only have to believe
it! It is written! It is the Word of God!
Let’s pray out loud:
Beloved Heavenly Father,
today, like every day, I want to be fully aware of Your
great Love for me. Even when I was dead in my sins, You gave me Life together with Christ. By
grace I am saved! Lord Jesus, I know that when You died for me on that cross,
You paid for ALL my sins, and that’s why You made me righteous before the
Father—to be adopted as His child according to the good pleasure of His will.
Thank You so much for that! Now I know who I am: a Born-Again Child of God—Born
Again to triumph. No problem, sickness, or circumstance will ever speak louder
than the Truth. Your Word is the Truth! I will not allow fear, doubt,
discouragement, condemnation, or shame to lead me astray. I am Your child, oh
God, and You are my Father! Nothing
and no one can undo that. I can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me! In ALL
things, I am more than a
conqueror through Him who loved me—Christ Jesus! Greater is He who
is in me than he who is in the world! And my God will supply
all my needs according to His riches in glory! This is all the good You have done for me,
according to Your Word. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Important Note:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer
aloud, 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. Therefore, today I say that I accept. I accept Your
sacrifice on the cross! I accept Your precious
Blood shed to the last drop out of love for me! I open my
heart to You and invite You in
because I want, Lord Jesus, that from today and forever You 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
to Your marvelous Light. Today I have been 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.

October 31 1 Timothy
2 / Isaiah 34-35 / Psalm 119.65-96
1 Timothy
2
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings,
and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge
of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified
in due time.
7 Whereunto I am ordained
a preacher, and an apostle,
(I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the
Gentiles in faith and verity.
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting.
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,
with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or
pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which
becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence
with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach,
nor to usurp authority over the man, but
to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first
formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived
was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue
in faith and charity and
holiness with sobriety.
Isaiah
34 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear,
and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations,
and his fury upon all their
armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be
melted with their blood.
4 And all the host
of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll:
and all their host shall fall down,
as the leaf falleth off from
the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall
be bathed in heaven: behold,
it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my
curse, to judgment.
6 The sword of the
LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness,
and with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the
LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in
the land of Idumea.
7 And the unicorns
shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with
fatness.
8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy
of Zion.
9 And the streams thereof
shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof
into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be
quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through
it for ever and ever.
11 But the cormorant
and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof
to the kingdom, but none shall be there,
and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall
come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof:
and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for
owls.
14 The wild beasts
of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of
rest.
15 There shall the
great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered,
every one with her mate.
16 Seek ye out of
the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these
shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit
it hath gathered them.
17 And he hath cast the lot for them,
and his hand hath divided
it unto them by
line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they
dwell therein.
35 The wilderness and the solitary
place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the
rose.
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing:
the glory of Lebanon shall be
given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of
the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4 Say to them that are of a fearful
heart, Be strong,
fear not: behold,
your God will come with
vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped.
6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters
break out, and streams in the desert.
7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons,
where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 And an highway shall be there,
and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass
over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not
err therein.
9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous
beast shall go up thereon,
it shall not be found there; but the redeemed
shall walk there:
10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return,
and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads:
they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow
and sighing shall flee away.
Psalm
119. 65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment
and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted
I went astray: but now have I kept thy
word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged
a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my
whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight
in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy
statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and
silver.
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I
may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because
I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful
kindness be for my comfort,
according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies
come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my
delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without
a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes;
that I be not ashamed.
81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become
like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget
thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant?
when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged
pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed
me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy
mouth.
89 For ever,
O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue
this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy
servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished
in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget
thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy
precepts.
95 The wicked have waited
for me to destroy me: but I will consider
thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

You have dealt well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word. (Psalm

12 They shall call the nobles thereof
to the kingdom, but none shall be there,
and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall
come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof:
and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for
owls.
14 The wild beasts
of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of
rest.
15 There shall the
great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered,
every one with her mate.
16 Seek ye out of
the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these
shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit
it hath gathered them.
17 And he hath cast the lot for them,
and his hand hath divided
it unto them by
line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they
dwell therein.
35 The wilderness and the solitary
place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the
rose.
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing:
the glory of Lebanon shall be
given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of
the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4 Say to them that are of a fearful
heart, Be strong,
fear not: behold,
your God will come with
vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped.
6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters
break out, and streams in the desert.
7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons,
where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 And an highway shall be there,
and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass
over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not
err therein.
9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous
beast shall go up thereon,
it shall not be found there; but the redeemed
shall walk there:
10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return,
and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads:
they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow
and sighing shall flee away.
Psalm
119. 65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment
and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted
I went astray: but now have I kept thy
word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged
a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my
whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight
in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy
statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and
silver.
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I
may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because
I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful
kindness be for my comfort,
according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies
come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my
delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without
a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes;
that I be not ashamed.
81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become
like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget
thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant?
when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged
pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed
me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy
mouth.
89 For ever,
O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue
this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy
servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished
in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget
thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy
precepts.
95 The wicked have waited
for me to destroy me: but I will consider
thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
