<description><![CDATA[El Nombre de Jesús en Oración Jesús dice del uso de Su Nombre en la oración: Juan 16:24 (RV1960) 24 ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h1 style="text-align:justify;">El Nombre de Jesús en Oración</h1>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
Jesús dice del uso de Su Nombre en la oración:</p>
<p>Juan 16:24 (RV1960)<br />
24 Hasta ahora nada habéis pedido EN MI NOMBRE; pedid, y recibiréis, para que vuestro gozo sea cumplido.</p>
<p>Hasta ahora quiere decir hasta el mismo momento que Jesús dijo estas palabras. En otras palabras, hasta ese mismo momento en que Jesús hablaba sus discípulos, nada habían pedido en Su Nombre.</p>
<p>Juan 16:24 (Nueva Versión Internacional)<br />
24 Hasta ahora no han pedido nada en mi nombre. Pidan y recibirán, para que su alegría sea completa.</p>
<p>Él les está hablando acerca de un “nuevo día” sobre la tierra, y está diciéndoles: Pedid y recibiréis, para que vuestra alegría se cumpla.</p>
<p>Cuando pedimos en Su Nombre estamos pidiendo a favor de nosotros mismos. Nosotros somos los que necesitamos sanidad; somos los que necesitamos las cosas que nos faltan.</p>
<p>Aquí en Juan, Jesús no solamente nos está dando el uso de Su Nombre en la oración para el Nuevo Pacto.</p>
<p>Juan 16:23 (RV60)<br />
23 En aquel día no me preguntaréis nada. De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo cuanto pidiereis al Padre en mi nombre, os lo dará.</p>
<p>Juan 16:23 (Castilian)<br />
23 Cuando llegue ese día no tendréis necesidad de preguntarme nada, sino que directamente podréis dirigiros al Padre, y todo lo que le pidáis en mi nombre os lo concederá.</p>
<p>Mira lo que Jesús nos esta diciendo: “Si pides al Padre en Mi Nombre; yo  endosare (aprobaré, legalizaré) tu pedido; y el Padre te lo dará a ti.”</p>
<p>Hace unos meses me llegó un cheque del extranjero, como no tenía oficinas en mi país, yo lo endosé a una institución que cobraba cheques en cualquier parte del mundo, al colocar mi firma (acompañada de mi nombre y número de mi documento de identidad) ellos pudieron cobrar ese dinero en mi nombre.</p>
<p>Eso es lo que hace Jesús, cada vez que presentamos una oración a Dios y usamos Su Nombre, Ese Nombre es el respaldo o la firma que endosa ante Dios la petición que le estamos haciendo.</p>
<p>El problema es cuando no entendemos lo que Jesús nos dice porque en vez de haber aprendido el Nuevo Testamento hemos aprendido tradiciones religiosas que se han convertido en vacas sagradas que han diluido las promesas de Dios.</p>
<p>Añadimos cosas que Jesús nunca dijo, y por eso es que mucha gente dice: “Dios lo hará si es Su voluntad; pero, puede que no sea su voluntad”.</p>
<p>Esto no es algo que se encuentra en el Nuevo Testamento. Las personas se han conformado con que sus oraciones se queden sin respuestas, diciendo: “De cierto, no era Su voluntad, porque no lo hizo. Si hubiera sido su voluntad, Él lo habría hecho”.</p>
<p>Jesús declaro la voluntad de Dios aquí en Juan 16:23,24.</p>
<p>Juan 16:23-24 (La Biblia de las Américas)<br />
23 En aquel día no me preguntaréis nada. En verdad, en verdad os digo: si pedís algo al Padre, os lo dará en mi nombre.<br />
24 Hasta ahora nada habéis pedido en mi nombre; pedid y recibiréis, para que vuestro gozo sea completo.</p>
<p>Debemos aprender a orar la oración de fe y recibir lo que queremos de Dios.</p>
<p>Nadie puede, ni por la oración, ni por la fe, conseguir para otra persona algo que no quiera. Si pudiéramos, haríamos que todos fuesen salvos sin necesidad que ellos quieran. Cuando se trata de orar por otras personas, la voluntad de ellas está involucrada; y su duda puede anular los efectos de nuestra fe. La incredulidad de otras personas, por otro lado, no pueden afectar mis oraciones por mis necesidades.</p>
<p>Cuando hacemos una oración por nosotros mismos la respuesta de Dios siempre es “si”.</p>
<p>Algunas personas dicen: “Dios siempre responde las oraciones. A veces dice si y a veces dice no&#8221;. Nunca encontrarás esto en la Biblia, es puro razonamiento humano.</p>
<p>Jesús no dijo: &#8220;Hasta ahora nada habéis pedido en mi nombre; pedid y recibiréis, sin embardo, a veces Dios dirá: ¡No!  a veces dirá ¡Si!, y a veces dirá: espera un poco&#8221;.</p>
<p>Hemos  añadido cosas así a la Biblia para tratar de explicar a la gente el porque la oración no funciona para ellos.  Sin embardo, la razón por la que no les funciona es porque no hicieron funcionar la palabra. Si no funciona para mi, es porque no estoy en armonía con la Palabra.</p>
<p>Una persona puede ser un buen creyente, santificado, separado y santo y  aun así no tener respuesta a sus oraciones.</p>
<p>Creemos que las personas deben de vivir una vida correcta, pero no podemos venir a orar alabándonos a nosotros mismos.</p>
<p>No podemos acercarnos al trono de la gracia diciéndole a Dios todo lo que hemos hecho, jactándonos en ello y obtener una respuesta.</p>
<p>Nosotros vamos al trono de la gracia llevando el Nombre de Jesús. Y la palabra de Dios funciona hoy,  tal como  funcionó en el pasado. Jesús dijo: “Pedid al Padre en mi Nombre; Yo endosare (aprobaré, legalizaré)  aquello y el Padre os lo dará.”</p>
<p>Esto le da a la oración una base completamente legal, porque Jesús nos dio el derecho legal de usar Su Nombre.</p>
<p>A medida en que tomamos nuestros privilegios y derechos en el Nuevo Pacto y oramos en el Nombre de Jesús, el asunto pasa de nuestras manos a las manos de Jesús, entonces; asume la responsabilidad de esa oración, y sabemos que Él siempre dice: “Padre gracias Te doy porque me oyes; Yo se que Tú siempre me oyes”.</p>
<p>En otras palabras, sabemos que el Padre siempre oye a Jesús, y cuando oramos en Nombre de Jesús, es como si el propio Jesús estuviese orando; Él toma nuestro lugar. Esto no solamente coloca a la oración en una base legal, más sino en una transacción practica.</p>
<p>Cuando oramos, nosotros tomamos aquí el lugar de Jesús para cumplir Su voluntad, y  El toma nuestro lugar delante del Padre.</p>

Disclaimer.<br />
Before you criticize me and judge me as a hypocrite or sinner, know this! I am both.</p>
<p>I have had plenty of bad church experiences or &#8220;Hurts&#8221; since I was six and a half years old. I remember walking to church, 85th street Baptist Church in east lake (Birmingham, Al) with my family because we did not have a car. My parents were around the age of 37 or 38 and lived very modest (down right poor) if the truth be known. My father was dying of a brain tumor, yet he walked with the rest of us to church. Before you conjure up images of a wholesome God fearing man, he was not, At least not until his recent conversion to Christianity. Prior to that he was a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy who had just returned home from Vietnam. He was pretty much in the religious category of an atheist. My mother was raised Methodist and pretty much turned to the Baptist faith. I was the middle child of their three boys. I watched and observed my father, who was my childhood hero and pretty much still is turn from a very Hollywood type handsome looking Sailor who wore a great looking uniform to work, to a man who became bald headed, very thin, and very weak. I remember the constant trips to the hospital he took when an ambulance came to our house to take him. I also remember the anger I felt when the neighbors would stand on their porches and watch with pity and fascination. They were watching the man of the house die and I was too young to grasp what the obvious should have told me. Instead, my mother and her gift of words simply and bluntly told me when he was gone. I still think it was the loudest telephone ring I ever heard and when she answered the phone that was in the living room by saying Hello, then yes, then hanging up the phone she said. Your Daddy is dead! I remember the image that came to my mind was an empty turtle shell. A teacher had told me the turtle was dead while I was looking at it. That was what death meant to me, an empty shell. The irony is that I felt empty instantly. I could not breathe for almost a full minute I was so heart broken and sad. I did not cry and I did not understand why I did not cry because I had never hurt so deeply in my soul. I do not remember the first of thousands of cries I had from missing my father. During the months of my father dying with a brain tumor I remember the church people bringing a hospital bed and setting it up in my parent’s room for my dad to lie in. I remember the endless line of church visitors and the gifts or food they would bring. The special feeling I would feel from so many that cared. It wasn&#8217;t until a short time after my father&#8217;s death that I was at church and walked into a storage room there and saw my dad&#8217;s hospital bed leaning against a wall. Empty. I remember just standing there and looking at it. I remember the sadness of my dad&#8217;s bed. Empty. I remember the sadness being replaced with anger when I realized that after he died all the people stopped coming. No more church members with the exception of the Bookout&#8217;s. They were an older couple who continued to come visit us occasionally of the next few years and always remembering to bring us a little toy. But the rest just quit coming. Why? I was just too young to understand but I remembered the anger. It wasn&#8217;t long before we were just the white trash members of the church. Those Edwards kids! They are always playing too hard, and always making noise. It wasn&#8217;t long after that when we Edwards’s kids got the blame when all the kids were just too noisy having fun. I remember once when my brother and I skipped Sunday school to roam the halls of this enormous church. We got caught by a Deacon who berated us and grabbed my younger brother and me by the arm squeezing it very hard and hurting me. I was scared and I distinctly remember thinking he wouldst dare do that if my dad was alive. How right I was. Incidents like this happened often. Later in our pre-teen years my brother and I had a friend named Reggie. He was our age and black. At that time the church had a gymnasium and recreation center that the church kids could go to during the summer and play until our hearts were content. One day we invited Reggie and went and had a wonderful time. I remember when Reggie had to go home my brother and I stayed to play more. After Reggie left, the director who was one of the world&#8217;s nicest men came up to me and grabbed my shirt at the collar and physically lifted my face to his by my shirt. He told me, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you ever bring another damn nigger here!&#8221; He whispered other sweet nothings to me but I can&#8217;t remember what they were. It doesn&#8217;t matter. I was never a good student but that lesson was learned on the first take. Some Christians huh? Well it was culture in those times right? Our and there&#8217;s! Whatever! It just went along with the rest of the hypocrisies I learned there. I bounced around here and there during my life at one church or another, never finding a place to call home so to speak. My older Brother John who was always interested in the bible and church more than I was decided to leave the Birmingham police force to go into the ministry. This time it was quite different. He was captivated with his new found religious philosophy in the Word of Faith Denomination. What I only knew as Charismatic. He left the state with his family in tow to school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He would learn from the great Kenneth Hagen at Rhema Bible College. He would stay there two years and attend school with his wife Coni. He ate it up breakfast, lunch and supper. When he returned two years later to start his own church, I decided I would help him. I started listening to his teachings about this type of faith that I found to be new to me and I decided to give it a try. Why not? I sure wasn&#8217;t impressed with the great leaders of faith in my own church experience. Besides, I had to help my brother right? By this time I was working night shift as a police officer and had some time during the day or afternoon to help. Pastor John, my brother, started meetings in his home. His first church meeting was in his living room and was attended by the obligatory family and maybe a friend or two. Understand. This means there were about five or six people other than John&#8217;s family present. Ha! Funny. Little did I know that in a few short years this living room preacher would be flying all over the world preaching and have his on T.V. show rubbing elbows with Richard Scrushy, professional athletes,<br />
 and other big names. But here we were in his living room in Trussville, Alabama. Having church and listening to this new faith. All you have to do is have faith. The concept attracted me instantly. After all, when you have nothing in life but bills, faith is pretty much all you have left. Pastor John taught me all the streets and avenues of faith. How I could speak into existence all the money I needed to support my family, to become successful in whatever I chose to do, to be healed of any sickness, and go to heaven when I die to boot! I thought, Hell yes, that sounds good to me. So I continued to help my Brother build. His heart was in the party district of Birmingham which is known as South Side. This is where all the college kids, homosexuals, freaks, and ghouls are known to hang out. I went with my brother pounding the streets of South Side passing out flyers, talking to strangers and inviting them to his new church the Edge. We nearly got into fights outside of the bars. People did not realize that these two church dudes were police officers or use to be and that we grew up fighting, and despite trying to build a church we were still dealing with anger problems. Fortunately, the close calls of having street fights were avoided. Cooler heads prevailed. We went high and low in every corner of the Godless South Side of Birmingham seeking church visitors. Before long we rented a Knights of Columbus building to serve as our church. Very slowly but surely people came. We had our share of clowns, kook&#8217;s and weirdo&#8217;s visit. I remember having to work bathroom duty. It was my job to make sure that when children visited the bathroom no adults followed them in. That is how wacky some of our visitors were. I had personal friends of mine from work, other friends to visit. John had his family and their friends plus all the new visitors that would come and go. Eventually the Edge started to grow. We had a talented band that replaced not so talented music. We had Christian Alternative / Rock concerts that drew a few interested youth. We had fun! And for once I felt as though I was really serving the lord. I was passionately serving the Lord and my brother by assisting to build a church. Imagine me, a church builder! And yet I was. I also believed and conformed my thinking to the name it and claim it recipe of faith. After all, it was right there in the bible. Pastor John flipped through the bible from scripture to scripture that clearly spoke of these principals. I applied them to my life. I used the prayers, spoke the language and recited positive professions of faith. It was getting me nowhere fast. At the time I was in financial dire straights and struggling on a policeman&#8217;s salary. Trying to support a family and still believing in moving mountains in my life. The church was growing. The money was trickling in. I know, because I was the one taking and counting the offerings. I remember thinking this could be quite a money making business. Mostly it was money that started the first problems between my brother Pastor John and me. No, he wasn&#8217;t stealing the money or misusing it. However, we had our disagreements on how it should be used. Pastor John was the boss. The one and only boss and I was just me. Bigger people started getting involved in the Edge church. People, who Pastor John began confiding in and making plans while putting me outside of the circle of big things that were happening, People with big money, or people who gave big money began to take my duties. Now I began to think Wait a damn minute, who was it that was there going into grungy south side clubs, walking miles and miles of streets passing out flyers, giving rides to strangers to church while these Johnny Come Lately&#8217;s come in taking over responsibilities? I began to perceive that those who gave more money became the key people in the politics of the church. I was right. Give and you shall receive. I gave. I gave what I could. I even bounced a check by mistake that cost me dearly as anyone who has ever been broke has. Did my positive confessions work? Well, it didn&#8217;t cover the bounced check, I can promise you that. Neither did the church, nor my brother. I remember asking my brother. Why did this happen? My answer was that maybe I left a window open for sin to creep into my life which stole my blessing. Gee thanks! I feel better now. Maybe I could be a crack head and get the blessing from the church to help me with my next fix. I guess the crack heads that came for help had tightly sealed windows in their lives. No room there for the window thief to steal they&#8217;re blessings. It didn&#8217;t take long for me to see that this Word of Faith message had a built in excuse for everything that didn&#8217;t work. Why didn&#8217;t sister so and so get healed of her cancer? Why did brother so and so die? Did he have sin in his life? Oh my! Well what human being doesn&#8217;t?  My questions or doubts began to build up quickly once I was pushed out of the inner circles of the divinely blessed Edge church members. I began pointing out hypocrisies or personally perceived wrongs of this church until my brother and I finally fell out and my family and I who worked our butts off at our own expense to play a large part of building this church. I turned in my key and left. I again spiraled down into a bitter anger towards my brother and church altogether. Before long the Edge church was financially ready to move on to a better church building in Trussville, Alabama. My brother seemed to have lost his desire or heart for South Side. I personally thought that the money would be more plentiful in Trussville. I was right! Again. The Edge moved onto Trussville and grew. The months went by and I had been moved to day shift on patrol. I happened to drive into a beautiful cemetery where the tombstones are old and really neat to look at. My pager went off and I saw that the numbers 911 followed my younger brother&#8217;s phone number. Naturally, the page horrified me. What could it be? I called and learned that my Niece, Jennifer had been rushed to Children&#8217;s Hospital in Birmingham by ambulance and that she was in &#8220;Bad shape&#8221;, it doesn&#8217;t look good.&#8221; I immediately left work and went home to get my wife. My younger brother Terry had explained that they had found that Jennifer had a brain tumor and was in a coma. How could this be? Jennifer was in perfect health. She was fourteen years old for crying out loud! Although I was deeply hurt and still angry with John, I of course went to the Hospital to be with them and to be there with Jennifer. I immediately began making my positive confessions. I prayed for instant healing and recovery for Jennifer. I begged God to heal her and remove the cancer from her head. I fully leaned on my faith and sincerely believed for a miracle. I believed in life for her despite my faith in brain tumor&#8217;s being weak. I convinced myself that Jennifer would live and the cancer would die. The following 48 hours were a blur of prayer, hope, and desperation. It consumed me. I grieved for my brother, Coni, and Jennifer&#8217;s two brothers Lee and Brian. What torment must they be enduring? Church member&#8217;s, family, friends, and co-workers streamed through. Prayers were lifted to God to spare our loved one. I remember going into see Jennifer. She looked like she was asleep. She was warm to the touch. Instantly, selfishly, all the memories came freshly to my mind of instances where I could have treated her better, showed her my love for her better. The tears rolling down my face were hot with self loathing. Regret. I was her Uncle. Some Uncle I was! The monitors with there numbers were explained to me by John and Coni. Coni was a Registered Nurse. I looked at the numbers and readings on the equipment and begged God for them to change. To show signs of recovery. I remember an Evangelist finally came after repeated request, a big shot in the Word of Faith Ministry. He came to pray for Jennifer. I remember the relief I felt. The renewed hope. Then later in the early morning hours when the Doctor came to John and he left the waiting area. I prayed, I confessed. When he returned he spoke to the crowd gathered for the news. He explained that Jennifer was essentially brain dead and only living through life support. He further explained they would be removing her from life support. I cried. I cried hard. I felt the realization dawn on me that these positive confessions did not work. I was angry, hurt, and desperate. Later in the morning the family gathered at Jennifer&#8217;s bedside for our earthly good byes. I told her I loved her, kissed her warm forehead and told her good bye. As a family we all sang Jesus Loves You there in her I.C.U. room. It was sung with tremendously saddened voices. But it was at the same time the most beautiful I have ever heard it sung. It was true. Jesus loved Jennifer more than even we did. God&#8217;s will was done. For whatever reason, for whatever good that God&#8217;s plan for Jennifer was, it was out of our human control. No prayer could change the outcome. No positive confession worked despite the sincere faith in which it was confessed. Jennifer entered heaven. Our faith and our prayers were no match for God who needed her and wanted her with him. We don&#8217;t understand the intricacies of the details in God&#8217;s plan. We are too simple of creatures to understand. We can not manipulate them regardless of how desperately we try. Once again, through the bonding of Jennifer&#8217;s death my brother and I worked out our relationship. Again my family joined the church we help to build. I listened intently and again tried to have faith in the message although there was internal conflict in my soul over it. I would never again believe in the word of faith religion even while I chose to be involved. I watched further growth in the Edge Church. Many, many people joined and I saw that the church had even out grown its new building again. The money poured in. Pastor John continued to preach the message and had once told me that his window was left open with his fighting with me that allowed the devil inside to steal his daughter. I&#8217;m sure John would argue he said this, but he did. Maybe it was anger. Maybe it was frustration or even his hopeless attempt to make an excuse so that he could continue to believe that his belief did not fail him. I printed and saved the e-mail in which he told me this for proof as I always have for hate e-mail in which I call it from people who write and say things they may later deny. I understood it from his point of view. We always need a scapegoat for our belief when things happen that contradict how we believe. I essentially felt like John blamed me for his daughter’s death after our second falling out. That is a hard one to forgive. In fact I didn&#8217;t forgive him for several years. I didn&#8217;t even speak to him for several years until we had a phone conversation that went down hill very quickly. I told John that he was a False Prophet in that phone conversation between very vulgar words. I also meant it. I believed my brother was caught up in a false religion and I told him so. I told him he was a leader of a cult. I was right! I even prophesied to him. I told him his church would grow huge, that he would become very successful until his people figured him out and quit him. I told him he would lose everything and fall right on his face. You see, I believed this to be true. My brother has a unique talent. He is a natural born leader. I wish I had that talent. Nothing could stop me. He can walk into a crowded room and within minutes have everyone’s attention and have them believe whatever story he had to tell them. I knew he would get big. He did. He traveled the world preaching. He grew churches in Africa, They still exist. His ministry went throughout Europe and Africa. He made huge money and had a huge following. And then it happened. I was right. His people turned on him. They threw him out despite that he visited them when their family was sick in the hospital, preached their families funerals, married their couples, counseled their marriages, counseled they&#8217;re cheating wives and husbands. He was there for them all and they threw him out like yesterday&#8217;s news. They were done with him without any concern of his welfare. What I was dead wrong about was that Pastor John had finally saw what he was doing was wrong. He saw that he was duped by the very religious belief he was teaching. God spoke to his heart and showed him that he was taking scripture out of its original contextual meaning and purpose and using it to twist it into a formula that would benefit his own selfish desires. After John&#8217;s revelation of truth, John did only what a true man could do. He admitted his fault and wrong doing to his congregation. From that point on he preached the scripture as it was written, in the context it was written, for the people it was written for.  The deacons of the church were furious. He was stealing their opportunity to speak into existence the things they desired by using particular bible verses as a foundation for their faith. What Pastor John began to preach did not go over with them well at all. They ousted him and gave him the full swift kick of the left foot of fellowship. You see, it is my belief that people are desperate to believe in something they can obtain if they have the power to obtain it. What a perfect religion. Having eternal life, full control of your life, health, prosperity, success, riches, who wouldn&#8217;t want to believe that? But the plain and simple truth is that this belief requires you to put faith in faith, not in God. That is the error of this message in my opinion. It is so easy to be deceived by a con man who calls himself a preacher when you have desperate, unhealthy, poor, ordinary people searching for a better existence being told by a man of God that they can have all of this and eternal life if they tithe, confess positive confessions, live sinless and have faith in faith. Before long all you will be having is faith that produces nothing if you are not having faith, total faith in God. The preacher gets rich. The people keep feeding him money hoping for a return. I share this as my own experience. Those who know me know I am far from perfect. I struggle just to be good. I am not trying to put anyone down in their belief but merely trying to warn that there are things in this religion behind the scenes that are not seen. I have been there. Are they all bad? No. No, unless they are placing faith in faith, before placing faith in God. My brother John, Pastor John, has been humbled in a severe way. He has asked forgiveness sincerely and I know this by seeing something I have never seen in him in 42 years. He puts others first for the first time in his life and he truly believes in God. Jesus is his savior and he knows Jesus forgives. It takes courage to man up and confess when you are wrong. It takes even more when you have been broadcast publicly, and traveled the world doing wrong and then apologized and changed. I am proud of my brother. He is doing right and doing the best he can and he has a true heart for people and a true heart for God. We are once again friends as well as brothers.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Tan solo hace unos días mientras conversaba con 6 amigos a la salida de un seminario, fuimos testigos de un accidente automovilístico, una camioneta 4&#215;4 negra salió disparada en el aire hacia nosotros, solamente dijimos al unísono, <em>“en el nombre de Jesús”,</em> y la camioneta se detuvo en el aire y dio media vuelta regresando parada a la pista.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como no voy a valorar el poder que hay detrás de ese nombre.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por ese motivo es de suma importancia que como creyentes sepamos acerca del poder que tiene ese maravilloso nombre y saber que relación tiene con nosotros.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un ejemplo que me quedó grabado cuando estudiaba en el Centro de Entrenamiento Bíblico acerca de esto es uno de E. W. Kenyon.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Él relata en su libro <em>“El Maravilloso Nombre de Jesús”.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Una  tarde, mientras yo daba una introducción sobre “El Nombre de Jesús”, un abogado me interrumpió y me preguntó:</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“¿Usted quiere decir que Jesús nos delegó el poder legal de usar Su Nombre?”  Le dije: “Hermano, usted es abogado y yo soy una persona común. Dígame ¿Jesús nos dio ese poder legal?” </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>El me dijo: “Si el lenguaje significa algo, entonces Jesús dio a la Iglesia el poder legal” </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Entonces, le pregunte: “¿Cuál es el valor de este Poder legal?” </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Él respondió: “Depende de cuanto hay por detrás de él, cuanta autoridad, cuanto poder este Nombre representa”.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esto me hace recordar cuando vivía mi abuela y le dio a mi padre un poder legal para poder cobrar su pensión.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ellos fueron donde el notario y firmaron un documento mediante el cual mi padre representaba a mi abuela y con su firma podía hacer transacciones en su nombre.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cada fin de mes iba al banco y cobraba la pensión de mi abuela.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Eso es lo que pasó con el nombre de Jesús; Todo poder y autoridad que Jesús tenía ha sido delegado a Su Nombre.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La Palabra de Dios nos enseña que tenemos el derecho legal de usar Su Nombre.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dice que podemos usar ese nombre para enfrentarnos con los demonios; dice que podemos usarlo para ministrar sanidad, dice que podemos usarlo en la oración.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Todo lo que esta incluido y se le ha otorgado a este Nombre nos pertenece, porque Jesús nos dio el uso incondicional de Su Nombre.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>¿Cómo están amados?</p>
<p>Para los que no me conocen, soy el Pastor Ricardo Botto, y vivo y cumplo mi ministerio en Perú; aunque un tiempo viví en Chile, país que me gusta mucho y donde nació El Ciberpastor.</p>
<p>Me recuerdo 30 años atrás, siendo un joven de 17 años llegando a Young Life, un grupo interdenominacional (entonces lo llamabamos paraeclesiástico), con un abrigo y un puro en la boca )era la segunda vez que fumaba un puro.</p>
<p>Habìa sido invitado por un muy querido amigo llamado Jorge Henriod (¿donde estás amigo?), quien la noche anterior me había dicho en una fiesta: &#8220;Tiene que haber algo más en esta vida.&#8221;</p>
<p>Me convenció y fui; me encantó realmente, no me acuerdo que predicaron, lo que si, que al final se me acerco Peter Franpton; perdon, Gert Buttermann, un guitarrista gringo pelucón, vestido a la usanza rockera de la época, yo estaba listo para escucharlo.</p>
<p>Solo recuerdo que me habló de Apocalipsis, y al final me pidió que haga una oración con él; en ese momento le entregué mi corazón a Jesús.</p>
<p>Me acuerdo saliendo la reunión con mis amigos Jorge Henriod, Pepe Carreras, Leonardo Beteeta y otros, Pepe me pregunto: &#8220;¿Recibiste a Jesús?&#8221;, yo no sabía, así que le respondí: &#8220;Hice una oración&#8221;.</p>
<p>De ahí en adelante, no quería irme para nada del grupo, iba todos los días, entre a los estudios bíblicos, me enamoré de la Biblia, ¡que excelente tiempo!</p>
<p>Pensé que me quedaría toda la vida ahí; pero recibí el bautismo con el Espíritu Santo, y esa es otra historia.</p>
<p>Que Dios les siga bendiciendo</p>

<description><![CDATA[En quinto lugar debemos creer que ya lo tenemos al momento de orar. La palabra recibiréis es lambano]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>En quinto lugar <em>debemos creer que ya lo tenemos al momento de orar.</em></p>
<p>La palabra <em>recibiréis </em>es <em>lambano</em> que significa <em>agarrar, recibir, tener, tomar.</em></p>
<p>Es decir, al orar debemos <em>tener</em> plena seguridad que ya es nuestro lo que le hemos pedido a Dios.</p>
<p>Notemos que aun no estamos viendo con nuestros ojos físicos lo que hemos pedido; pero, tenemos plena confianza que ya lo tenemos.</p>
<p>¿Por qué tenemos esta plena confianza?</p>
<p>Porque hemos pasado tiempo en la Palabra, estudiando las escrituras que prometen lo que deseas recibir de Dios y la fe ha crecido en ti.</p>
<p>Como dice en 1 Juan 5:14–15: “Y esta es la confianza que tenemos en él, que si pedimos alguna cosa conforme a su voluntad, él nos oye. Y si sabemos que él nos oye en cualquier cosa que le pidamos, sabemos que tenemos las peticiones que le hayamos hecho.”</p>
<p>Por haber pasado ese tiempo en la  Palabra de Dios, estás orando de acuerdo a la voluntad de Dios y por esa razón sabes que tienes lo que le has pedido a Dios.</p>
<p>El <em>resultado final </em>de seguir estos cinco pasos, es que tendrás lo que le has pedido a Dios.</p>
<p>La parte final de Marcos 11:24 dice: <em>“. . . y os vendrá.”</em></p>
<p>No hay nada mas fuerte que esto; si ya le has pedido algo a Dios, ya es tuyo.</p>
<p>Puede que pase un tiempo hasta que lo tengas en el reino físico; pero si ya has creído que lo tienes, entonces vendrá a tu vida.</p>
<p>Como dice en Mateo 21:22: <em>“Y todo lo que pidiereis en oración, creyendo, lo recibiréis.”</em></p>

<description><![CDATA[Lo cuarto que debemos hacer es creer que Dios nos responderá. La palabra creer es pisteuo. W. E. Vin]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Lo <em>cuarto </em>que debemos hacer es <em>creer que Dios nos responderá.</em></p>
<p>La palabra <em>creer</em> es <em>pisteuo.</em></p>
<p>W. E. Vine define <em>pisteuo </em>de esta manera: <em>Creer, también estar persuadido a, poner confianza en, significa, en este sentido de la palabra, el descansar en, no simplemente tener credibilidad.</em></p>
<p>Esta palabra tiene un significado muy fuerte en cuanto a tener confianza  y plena seguridad en algo o alguien.</p>
<p>¿Cómo se puede tener confianza en alguien? Conociéndolo.</p>
<p>¿Cómo podemos conocer a Dios? Por medio de su palabra.</p>
<p>En Romanos 10:17 dice: <em>“Así que la fe es por el oír, y el oír, por la palabra de Dios.”</em></p>
<p>La palabra <em>fe </em>aquí es <em>pistis, </em>la cual desciende de <em>pisteuo.</em></p>
<p>W. E. Vine la define así: <em>Su significado principal es una convicción respecto a Dios y Su palabra y la relación del creyente con El.</em></p>
<p>Este verso dice que el <em>pistis</em> viene por oír la  Palabra de Dios.</p>
<p>La palabra oír es <em>akoe, </em>que ya la hemos visto, y significa <em>oír, dar audiencia, dar entrada.</em></p>
<p>La palabra <em>palabra</em> es <em>rhema.</em></p>
<p>En el Nuevo Testamento se usan dos palabras para <em>palabra: logos </em>y<em> rhema.</em></p>
<p><em>Logos </em>nos habla de <em>toda la Biblia como un conjunto</em>; pero <em>rhema</em> de <em>una porción especifica de la  Biblia.</em></p>
<p>W. E. Vine nos habla de esta distinción de esta manera: “<em>El significado de rhema (a diferencia de logos) está ejemplificado en el mandato de “tomar la espada del Espíritu, que es la Palabra de Dios,” en Efesios 6:17. Aquí la referencia no es toda la Biblia en conjunto, sino la escritura individual que el Espíritu Santo nos hace recordar en tiempo de necesidad, siendo el  requisito previo llenar regularmente la mente con la Escritura.”</em></p>
<p>Esta es la palabra que se usa en Romanos 10:17, y significa que si queremos tener fe debemos llenarnos una y otra vez con versos específicos que apunten a la necesidad que tenemos.</p>
<p>Si tenemos necesidad de sanidad, lo primero que debemos hacer es ir a Isaias 53:4–5, Mateo 8:17, 1 Pedro 2:24  u otros.</p>
<p>Si necesitas solución a tus problemas financieros, anda a Filipenses 4:19.</p>
<p>Sea cual fuese el  problema que estés enfrentando, hay un verso en la Palabra que te promete la solución.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pero, para poder tener la fe para solucionar el problema, debes colocar en tu corazón una y otra vez los versos que te prometan la solución para tu problema.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Lo <em>tercero</em> que debemos hacer es <em>entender lo que es la oración.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La palabra <em>orando</em> en Marcos 11:24 es <em>proseuchomai.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esta palabra viene de otras dos <em>pros, </em>que significa<em> al lado de, cerca a y en dirección a</em>; y <em>echo </em>que significa <em>tener </em>o <em>agarrar.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Juntando estas dos palabras podemos traducir <em>proseuchomai </em>de esta manera: <em>“ Acercarse o estar al lado de. . . . para obtener algo.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En Santiago 5:13–18 vemos esta palabra cinco veces:</p>
<ol style="text-align:justify;">
<li>¿Estas triste? Haz <em>p</em><em>roseuchomai</em></li>
<li>¿Esta alguno enfermo? Haga <em>proseuchomai</em></li>
<li><em>Proseuchomai </em>uno por otro</li>
<li>Elías <em>proseuchomai </em>para que no llueva</li>
<li>Elías <em>proseuchomai </em>para que llueva</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cada vez que nos acercamos a Dios debe ser para obtener algo especifico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Debemos ser como Bartimeo, él sabia lo que quería, y eso fue lo que recibió.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nuestra oración siempre debe tener un norte.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Lo segundo que debes hacer es pedir. Al final de Santiago 4:2 dice: “. . .no tenéis lo que deseáis, ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Lo <em>segundo </em>que debes hacer es pedir.</p>
<p>Al final de Santiago 4:2 dice: <em>“. . .no tenéis lo que deseáis, porque no pedís.”</em></p>
<p>Si no tienes lo que deseas es porque no estas pidiendo.</p>
<p>La palabra  <em>pidiereis </em>en Marcos 11:24 es <em>aiteo;</em> la cual estudiamos en el primer capitulo, pero que vamos ha ampliar aquí.</p>
<p>A<em>iteo</em> significa <em>pedir, hacer una solicitud, hacer una petición.</em></p>
<p>En Mateo7:7–11 dice: <em>“PEDID y se os dará; buscad y hallareis; llamad y se os abrirá. Porque todo aquel que PIDE, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama se le abrirá. ¿Qué hombre hay de vosotros, que si su hijo le PIDE pan, le dará una piedra? ¿O si le PIDE un pescado, le dará una serpiente? Pues si vosotros, siendo malos, sabéis dar buenas dádivas a vuestros hijos, ¿cuánto mas vuestro Padre Celestial dará buenas cosas a los que les PIDAN?”</em></p>
<p>Hay dos cosas que ver en este pasaje; debemos pedir, pero de manera especifica.</p>
<p>Veamos que dice: si su hijo le PIDE pan, y luego dice: si le PIDE un pescado.</p>
<p>Esta hablando de dos cosas especificas, pan y pescado.</p>
<p>Pero también dice que debemos de pedirlas <em>Porque todo aquel que PIDE, recibe</em>. Es decir para poder recibir, antes debemos pedir.</p>
<p>En Mateo 18:19 hablando de la oración de acuerdo dice: <em>“Otra vez os digo, que si dos de vosotros se pusieren de acuerdo acerca de cualquier cosa que PIDIEREN, les será hecho por mi Padre que está en los cielos.”</em></p>
<p>Es interesante ver que este verso nos habla de dos personas que están haciendo un acuerdo acerca de algo especifico que van a pedir.</p>
<p>En la historia de Bartimeo, el ciego, en Marcos 10:46–52 también podemos ver este principio.</p>
<p><em>“Entonces vinieron a Jericó; y al salir de Jericó él y sus discípulos y una gran multitud, Bartimeo el ciego, hijo de Timeo, estaba sentado junto al camino mendigando. Y oyendo que era Jesús nazareno, comenzó a dar voces y decir: ¡Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí! Y muchos le reprendían para que callase, pero él clamaba mucho mas: ¡Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí! Entonces Jesús, deteniéndose, mando llamarle; y llamaron al ciego diciéndole: Ten confianza, levántate, te llama. El entonces, arrojando su capa, se levanto y vino a Jesús. Respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: ¿Qué quieres que te haga? Y el ciego le dijo: Maestro, que recobre la vista. Y Jesús le dijo: Vete, tu fe te ha salvado. Y enseguida recobró la vista, y seguía a Jesús en el camino.”</em></p>
<p>Bartimeo tenia una necesidad especifica, y fue eso lo que le pidió a Jesús: <em>Maestro, que recobre la vista. </em>Y fue eso lo que recibió, la vista.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Debemos acercarnos a Dios pidiéndole específicamente lo que queremos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h2 style="text-align:justify;">La Oración de Petición</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hemos visto que la voluntad de Dios es responder todas nuestras oraciones; pero para recibir respuesta a ellas debemos hacer la oración de petición.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En Marcos 11:24 dice: <em>“Por tanto, os digo que todo lo que pidiereis orando, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Veamos este verso en otras versiones:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Biblia Latinoamericana</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>24 Por eso les digo: todo lo que pidan en la oración, crean que ya lo han recibido y lo obtendrán.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Biblia del Pueblo de Dios</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>24 Por eso les digo: Cuando pidan algo en la oración, crean que ya lo tienen y lo conseguirán.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Biblia Castilian 2003</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>24 Por eso os digo: todo cuanto pidáis en la oración, creed que ya lo habéis obtenido y se os concederá.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Nueva Biblia de los Hispanos</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>24 Por eso les digo que todas las cosas por las que oren y pidan, crean que ya las han recibido, y les serán concedidas.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para recibir nuestra respuesta lo <em>primero</em> que debemos hacer es ser específicos en lo que queremos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La palabra <em>todo</em> que usa en este verso es <em>pas.</em> Esta palabra nos está hablando de algo específico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En Santiago 1:5–8 dice: <em>“Y si alguno tiene falta de sabiduría, pídala a Dios, el cual da a todos abundantemente y sin reproche, y le será dada. Pero pida con fe, no dudando nada; porque el que duda es semejante a la onda de mar, que es arrastrada por el viento y echada de una parte a otra. No piense, pues, quien tal haga, que recibirá cosa alguna del Señor. El hombre de doble animo es inconstante en todos sus caminos.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Muchos creyentes son así a la ora de orar, no saben lo que quieren.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si no sabes que es lo que quieres recibir de Dios, el nunca te lo dará.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Una amiga mía,  cuya familia esta en el ministerio desde hace mas de cincuenta años, me contó que ella le pidió al Señor un carro para su familia. El Señor le dijo que tipo de carro quería; y le dio una visión en la que salían todos los carros del mundo, de todos los colores imaginables. Ella eligió una camioneta roja y se la pidió, a los pocos días su familia recibió una camioneta tal como ella la había pedido.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dios quiere que seamos específicos. Cuando te acercas a Dios debes saber que cosa es la que quieres.</p>

<description><![CDATA[“. . . que si pedimos alguna cosa CONFORME. . . .” La palabra conforme es kata, que significa estar ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“. . . que si pedimos alguna cosa CONFORME. . . .”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La palabra conforme es <em>kata</em>, que significa estar de acuerdo, bajo o cerca de.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Amos 3:3 nos da una idea de lo que significa está palabra: <em>“Andarán dos juntos si no estuvieren de acuerdo.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No podemos caminar con Dios si no estamos de acuerdo con El.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> “. . . que si pedimos alguna cosa conforme a su VOLUNTAD. . .”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La palabra voluntad es <em>thelema</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En este pasaje <em>thelema</em> significa la voluntad hablada como la emoción de estar deseoso, en vez de las cosas que deseamos; de la voluntad de Dios.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Smith sugiere que esta palabra indica: “Una gran seguridad: nuestras oraciones siempre serán respondidas, nunca dejadas sin responder.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Es decir estar deseoso de ha hacer la voluntad de Dios.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Podemos ver esta palabra en los siguientes versos:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Romanos 1:10</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">10 Rogando que de alguna manera tenga al fin, por LA VOLUNTAD DE DIOS, un prospero viaje para ir a vosotros.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">1 Corintios 1:1</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">1 Pablo, llamado a ser apóstol de Jesucristo por la VOLUNTAD DE DIOS. . . .</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">2 Corintios 8:5</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">5 Y no como nosotros lo esperábamos, sino que a sí mismos se dieron primeramente al Señor, y luego a nosotros por la VOLUNTAD DEL SEÑOR.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Efesios 1:1, 5,11</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">1 Pablo apóstol de Jesucristo por la  VOLUNTAD DE DIOS. . . .</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">5 En amor habiéndonos predestinados para ser adoptados hijos suyos por medio de Jesucristo, según el puro afecto de su VOLUNTAD.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">11 En él asimismo tuvimos herencia, habiendo sido predestinados conforme al propósito del que hace todas las cosas según al designio de su VOLUNTAD.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esta palabra también la vemos en  2 Corintios 1:1; Colosenses 1:1; 2 Timoteo 1:1; Hebreos 10:7, 9,36 y 1 Juan 2:27.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para poder caminar con Dos, tu debes estar dispuesto ha hacer las cosas que él quiere.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por otro lado, como sabemos que la voluntad de Dios es su Palabra, podemos leer este verso así.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“Esta es la libertad total de audiencia que tenemos en El, que si pedimos alguna cosa conforme a Su Palabra. . . .”</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“.  .  .  que  si pedimos alguna cosa.  .  .” </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La palabra pedir es <em>aiteo</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Aiteo</em> significa: <em>pedir</em>. Hacer una petición, presentar una solicitud.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como el verbo se presenta en la voz media, significa que la petición se hace para propio beneficio de la persona que la hace.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esta palabra la encontramos muchas veces en la Biblia, con un énfasis en la oración respondida.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Podemos verla en:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mateo 7:7,11</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">PEDID y se os dará; buscad y hallareis; llamad y se os abrirá. Porque todo aquel que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama se le abrirá. . . . ¿cuánto mas vuestro Padre Celestial dará buenas cosas a los que les pidan?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Marcos 11:24</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por tanto, os digo que todo lo que PIDIEREIS orando, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lucas 11:13</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">. . . ¿cuánto mas vuestro Padre dará el Espíritu Santo a los que se lo PIDAN?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Juan 14:13 – 14</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Y todo lo que PIDIEREIS al Padre en mi nombre lo haré, para que el Padre sea glorificado en el Hijo. Si algo PIDIEREIS en mi nombre, yo lo haré.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Juan 15:7</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si permanecéis en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, pedid todo lo que queráis, y os será hecho.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Juan 16:23 – 24</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En aquel día no me preguntareis nada. De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo lo que PIDIEREIS al Padre en mí nombre, os lo dará. Hasta ahora nada habéis PEDIDO en mi nombre: pedid y recibiréis, para que vuestro gozo sea cumplido.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Según W. E.. Vine <em>aiteo</em> la mayoría de las veces sugiere la actitud de un suplicante, la petición de alguien que esta en menor petición a la que la persona que la petición se hace; por ejemplo en Mateo 7:7 se ve el caso de un hombre pidiendo algo a Dios; en Mateo 7:9–10 nos habla de un hijo hablando a su padre; en 1Juan 5:14–15 se encuentra en referencia a la petición a Dios. En Juan 14:13,14; 16:23 nos habla  de pedidos hechos por los apóstoles.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Siempre que vemos <em>aiteo</em> nos encontramos con pedidos hechos a Dios, y en todos los casos vemos que Dios responde nuestras oraciones.</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Ester 4:10–11, 5:1–3 relata una idea que nos da una idea de lo que significa esta palabra: “Entonces]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Ester 4:10–11, 5:1–3 relata una idea que nos da una idea de lo que significa esta palabra: <em>“Entonces Ester dijo a  Hatac que le dijese a Mardoqueo: Todos los siervos del rey, y el pueblo de las provincias del rey, saben que cualquier hombre o mujer que entra en el patio interior para ver al rey, sin ser llamado, una sola ley hay respecto a él: ha de morir; salvo aquel a quien el rey extendiere el cetro de oro, el cual vivirá; y yo no he sido llamada para ver al rey en estos treinta días. . . . Aconteció que al tercer día se vistió Ester su vestido real, y entró en el patio interior de la casa del rey, enfrente del aposento del rey; y estaba el rey sentado en su trono en el aposento real, enfrente de la puerta del aposento. Y cuando vio a la reina Ester que estaba en el patio, ella obtuvo gracia ante sus ojos; y el rey extendió a Ester el cetro de oro que tenía en la mano. Entonces vino Ester y tocó la punta de su cetro. Dijo el rey: ¿Qué tienes, reina Ester, y cual es tu petición? Hasta la mitad del reino se te dará.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ester debía hallar gracia para poder entrar en la presencia del Rey Asuero. Lo consiguió y tuvo libertad de audiencia para entrar ante su presencia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En Hebreos 10:19 dice: <em>“Así que, hermanos, teniendo libertad para entrar en el Lugar Santísimo por la sangre de Jesucristo.” </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La palabra libertad en este pasaje también es <em>parrhesia</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nosotros tenemos libertad de audiencia para entrar en la presencia de Dios</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En el tiempo de la  Segunda Guerra Mundial, Franklin Delano Roosevelt era presidente de los Estados Unidos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cierto día, en que había una gran cantidad de personas que estaban en su oficina tratando de entrevistarse  con él, un niño de cuatro años pasó corriendo y se metió en su despacho. El presidente cerró la puerta y se quedó media hora con el niño. La gente en la oficina empezó a protestar, pues algunos habían estado esperando  durante varias horas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Al oírlos, la secretaria del presidente les dijo que no se quejasen tanto, pues el niño que había pasado era el nieto del presidente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nosotros somos hijos de Dios y tenemos, total libertad de audiencia con Dios. Por esta razón podemos citar 1 Juan 5:14  de esta manera:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“Esta es la libertad total de audiencia que tenemos en  él.”</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:right;"><strong>Por Denise Alves</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nesse livro Kenneth Hagin começa declarando que Deus é amor. E a palavra grega que foi traduzida por amor é no original a palavra <em>Ágape </em>que em algumas traduções aparece como Caridade. Ele argumenta que o amor é maior do que a esperança e a fé. Pois a fé precisa da esperança para funcionar e a fé só opera pelo amor, por isso o amor é o maior dos três. Além disso, é pelo amor que saberão que somos seus discípulos. O amor é a força que nos faz suportar quando naturalmente a vontade é de fugir.</p>
<p>“O amor de Deus sempre pensa o melhor a respeito de cada um de nós. O amor de Deus está em nós cabe a nós pôr em prática esse amor e exercitá-lo, a fim que possa crescer e aumentar” (Pg. 22). O amor é um fruto a ser produzido pelo espírito humano, porque cultivar e exercitar o amor do tipo de Deus depende de nós.</p>
<p>O autor mostra que Deus já tem dado uma medida de amor como nos deu uma medida de fé. Não é questão de orar por mais amor, mas de desenvolvê-lo com a prática. É manter a atitude se sempre perguntar: ‘O que faria o amor?’</p>
<p>“No nosso nascimento natural participamos da vida e natureza dos nossos pais, quando nascemos de Deus, participamos da sua natureza” (Pg. 46). Sabemos que nascemos de novo porque amamos os irmãos. O amor de Deus nos constrange a  fazer a coisa certa.</p>
<p>Hagin afirma que o renovo de Deus ocorre no nosso espírito, nossa carne e alma continuam iguais e precisam ser sempre trabalhadas pela parte que se modificou, ou seja, controladas pelo espírito, nosso homem interior. E “na nova aliança o amor é um mandamento, pois andando em amor cumpre-se toda a lei do Velho Testamento. A fé não funcionará se houve alguma coisa errada com o seu andar em amor”. (Pg. 77)</p>
<p>Outro ponto do livro é a dedicação de um considerável espaço para ensinar sobre o que está escrito em Romanos 13.7, quando Deus diz que não devemos dever nada a ninguém além do amor, Hagin mostra que esse versículo não tem nada aplicação quando fala-se de compras a crédito.</p>
<p>Outra característica marcante do amor divino, é que ele perdoa. “Não é Deus quem vai lidar com o corpo que você tem aqui na terra, Ele já operou no seu espírito. Agora você precisa fazer algo com o seu corpo e mente”. (Pg 99). Perdoar e esquecer como Deus o fez e está registrado em Isaias 43.25 e Hebreus 8.12. Devemos perdoar os outros como Deus no perdoou. Ef 4.32, pois sem isso a fé e a oração ficam ineficazes. “Deus abençoa as pessoas que se arrependem, perdoam e crêem”. (Pg. 115)</p>
<p>Entretanto ele mostra como o perdão deve se estender para os outros e para si mesmo. Paulo é um exemplo que alguém que precisava perdoar a si mesmo pelo que cometeu contra a igreja para que pudesse se tornar um vaso livre nas mãos de Deus.</p>
<p>Abordando outro assunto ligado a andar em amor, Kenneth Hagin demonstra em seu livro que saúde divina é uma das conseqüências de se andar em amor. “Se você quiser andar em saúde, você terá que andar no amor e dominar sua língua”. (Pg. 141). O amor de Deus é totalmente diferente do amor humano, este coloca-se em primeiro lugar, o amor divino coloca o outro em primeiro lugar. O amor natural pode se transformar em ódio da noite para o dia.</p>
<p>Uma característica marcante e diferencial do amor divino é que este pode ser severo às vezes. Andar no amor do tipo de Deus não significa que é bobo e que deixa as pessoas tirarem indevido proveito de você. Significa que precisa fazer o que é certo e ás vezes isso exige não ceder.</p>
<p>Andar no amor, pois significa agir no amor, pois o amor do tipo de Deus não é apenas um sentimento é uma decisão e uma ação.</p>
<p>A lógica empregada pelo autor é que sendo Deus amor, e o amor não causa mau ao próximo, de Deus só vem o bom. O mal vem do Diabo. Mas é nossa escolha se vamos percorrer o caminho da vida ou da morte. O amor é o caminho de vida. “Todas as confissões do mundo inteiro não funcionarão se você não tiver vivendo cristãmente” (Pg. 197)</p>
<p>Entretanto Hagin faz uma ressalva: Não é para verificar se o outro está andando em amor, mas a si mesmo. Aquilo que o homem plantar, isso ceifará. Devemos julgar só a nós mesmos. Isso é sério e pode trazer conseqüências desastrosas para nossas vidas. Impedindo inclusive a fé de funcionar.</p>
<p>Andar no amor de Deus tem tudo haver com amar os inimigos. Pois Deus nos amou quando ainda éramos pecadores, seus inimigos. E não é apenas não revidar, é fazer algo de bom para eles. “você saberá que perdoou seus inimigos quando conseguir orar por eles e pedir as bênçãos de Deus para eles” (Pg. 239)</p>
<p>A carne terá sempre uma inclinação para não andar em amor, e isso pode causar enfermidades. O espírito, porém, leva-nos à vida, perdão e saúde. A uma constante atitude no coração de ‘como posso ser uma benção para as pessoas’? Andar no amor é o único caminho para a vitória.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="center"><strong>RESUMO</strong></p>
<p align="right"> </p>
<p align="right">Por Denise Alves</p>
<p align="right"> </p>
<p>No livro <span style="text-decoration:underline;">A Questão Feminina</span>, Kenneth Hagin começa ensinando que o apóstolo Paulo não odiava as mulheres, antes, ele as considerava em alta estima apesar de alguns interpretarem mal os textos de 1CO 14.34-36 e 1TM 2.11-12.</p>
<p>Quando Deus diz em 1CO 11.3, através do apóstolo, que o homem é o cabeça da mulher, Deus não está dizendo que todo homem seja o cabeça de toda mulher, nem que o homem seja o cabeça espiritual da mulher, visto este ser Jesus, mas que referente ao marido e esposa, ela ocupa uma posição secundária por motivo de harmonia e cooperação na família.</p>
<p>A mulher não deve obedecer seu marido em tudo. Deus não fica do lado do erro. Se o marido errar Deus não ficará do lado dele só por ele ser o cabeça da esposa. Um exemplo disso citado por Hagin no livro <span style="text-decoration:underline;">A Questão Feminina</span> é a ocasião em que Sara resistiu à Abraão no assunto referente a Agar e Ismael.</p>
<p>Hagin também defende que a mulher não deve obedecer o marido quando as ordens dele contrariar a palavra de Deus.   </p>
<p>Respondendo a pergunta: as mulheres devem ficar caladas na igreja? O autor responde que não. As mulheres devem seguir seu chamado no Senhor e honrá-lo onde for colocada, mas sempre respeitando as autoridades constituídas sobre ela ministerialmente.</p>
<p>Sobre o véu, Kenneth Hagin explica que ele é um símbolo da tradição grega para simbolizar ser a mulher com o véu é uma pessoa reservada, recatada, casada. O não uso indicava disponibilidade de relacionamentos, o que ofenderia o marido. Ou seja, o uso do véu não tem haver com mandamento de Deus e sim com usos e costumes locais e temporais.</p>
<p>Quanto ao uso de roupas, o que se estabelece em 1PE 3.1-5 é o equilíbrio entre o tempo gasto com a beleza exterior e o tempo dedicado a beleza interior, para exemplificar ele cita o relato de uma missionária que cortou o cabelo que lhe exigia cuidados demais para ter mais tempo livre para Deus.</p>
<p>Conclui mostrando que para Deus não existe masculino ou feminino, apenas pessoas andando com sobriedade.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:right;">Por Denise Alves</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Em seu livro TL Osborn foca na realidade que Deus precisa de um corpo para agir e não apenas de oração. ‘Cristo deve viver em nós pessoalmente ‘(p.13). Apesar dele poder ter enviado anjos para fazer a obra, ele decidiu contar com os homens para isso. Se nós não nos movimentamos Jesus ficará parado. Para que ele possa alcançar almas perdidas é necessário reconhecer que só ocorrerá por seu intermédio (p.19).</p>
<p>Quando se decide fazer hoje as mesmas obras que Jesus executou quando estava aqui na terra, só que agora através do nosso corpo, descobrimos uma profundidade do Senhor, algo que jamais experimentaríamos sem sair e ir.</p>
<p>O autor narra após uma breve viagem à igreja primitiva e uma conversa com Áquila, um resumo do início da sua vida de evangelista, TL Osborn fala de dois tipos de evangelismo: o de massa e o individual. Sendo o individual o mais eficaz, pois foi este que funcionou na primeira igreja.</p>
<p>‘Ele continuou o que havia começado’ (p.33). Para TL Osborn evangelismo é persuasão.</p>
<p>Em seu livro “Conquistando Almas”, depois de um breve histórico de como o evangelismo foi tratado ao longo da historia da igreja, TL Osborn diz que o evangelismo pessoal ainda não foi redescoberto com o poder que deveria. ‘A maioria das igrejas possui excelentes programas e classes de treinamento sobre como convidar os não convertidos a irem à casa de Deus, mas não sobre como fazer com que eles aceitem Jesus lá fora, onde estão ’(p.37)</p>
<p>Citando Gene Edwards ‘A igreja não é um lugar para onde se deva levar os perdidos a fim de convertê-los. É um posto de batalha, de onde se enviam os cristãos para fora, para peleja’ (p.40).</p>
<p>Ele expõe 7 razoes para ser um conquistador de almas:</p>
<ol>
<li>Porque Jesus o era</li>
</ol>
<p>Se Jesus veio para salvar o perdido e se somos cristãos, parecidos com Cristo, devemos fazer a mesma coisa. Independente do chamado ministerial somos antes de tudo cristãos destinados ao IDE. TL Osborn critica que todo esforço e atenção da igreja seja dirigido para os já crentes e o perdido não é o alvo de procura e atenção.</p>
<ol>
<li>Porque a seara é muito grande</li>
</ol>
<p>Por mais que alguns não salvos venham à igreja, a maioria nunca entrará em um templo ou irá a uma cruzada. ‘o objetivo da primeira igreja cristã, o plano de Deus é que cada cristão se torne uma testemunha’ (p.65)</p>
<p>O evangelismo tem o poder de dar um propósito, torna a vida crista mais dinâmica, objetiva, elimina a apostasia e cura as reclamações da igreja.</p>
<ol>
<li>Porque os obreiros são poucos</li>
</ol>
<p>Cresce o número de influências científicas e religiosas contrárias ao evangelho que fecham as portas para o cristianismo.</p>
<ol>
<li>Devido à grande comissão</li>
</ol>
<p>Ministração através de cruzadas, folhetos, gravação de voz, meios de comunicação de massa usando todos os recursos para alcançar os perdidos e cumprir a grande comissão chegando onde às vezes pessoas não chegam.</p>
<ol>
<li>Porque as profecias a respeito da volta de cristo ainda não se cumpriram</li>
</ol>
<p>Os primeiros apóstolos pregaram com a esperança da obra terminada, Jesus voltaria. TL Osbron compara o avanço do evangelho com as táticas de disseminação do comunismo e testemunhas de Jeová. E pergunta: porque aqueles na primeira fileira recebem a segunda porção antes que os famintos nas fileiras de trás tenham recebido a primeira porção? (P. 99)</p>
<ol>
<li>Porque não quero o sangue dos pecadores em minhas mãos</li>
</ol>
<p> Somos salvos para contar aos outros. ‘Quando Deus amou, ele amou o mundo. Quando deu Seu filho ele o fez para o mundo. Quando Cristo morreu, morreu para o mundo. A visão de Deus é mundial’ (p.105)</p>
<p>  Deus tinha um sonho que resgatar sua família e foi esse sonho que criou caminhos, ou formas para se tornar realidade. Todos os criadores são pensadores. Todos os homens que realizam coisas são sonhadores, pensadores, planejadores, logo fazedores. (P .113)</p>
<p>Ficar nas muita teorias e convenções não avança a proclamação do evangelho que requer ação, exige não se importar com as criticas. É preciso agir não é o bastante pensar, falar, orar a respeito.</p>
<ol>
<li>Em virtude daquilo que tenho experimentado</li>
</ol>
<p>Um evangelho de poder e milagres, convence, atrai as pessoas e faz distinção entre deuses e Deus. Na Índia, Haiti, Venezuela e Japão, seja onde for que o evangelho seja pregado, o resultado será sempre o mesmo. “tire os milagres do cristianismo e o que restará é outra religião morta que não pode salvar” p. 132</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Os homens querem Cristo mas necessitam de provas de que Ele está vivo. E somos nós suas testemunhas.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:right;">Por Denise Alves</p>
<p align="right"> </p>
<p align="right"> </p>
<p>Em seu livro Etiqueta e Elegância o ponto central de Maria de Fátima é a conclusão que ‘Boas maneiras abre as portas’.</p>
<p>Segundo a autora Etiqueta é a arte das boas maneiras e dos bons costumes. A falta de boas maneiras está associada à falta de respeito ao outro. Jesus se comportava de forma elegante quer estivesse em meio a pessoas simples, quer em meio aos doutores da época.</p>
<p>E complementa que não abrange só a maneira de vestir-se mas a boa educação, as normas de conduto e caráter.</p>
<p>A elegância está presente:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nas roupas e na postura</li>
<li>Na apresentação a outras pessoas</li>
<li>Na conversa</li>
<li>Na etiqueta à mesa</li>
<li>Na hospitalidade</li>
</ul>
<p>A hospitalidade tem um lugar de destaque no livro, mostrando como o ministro deve se esmerar nesse assunto visto que Deus realizou milagres através da pratica da hospitalidade.</p>
<p>“Os únicos que serão realimente felizes serão os que buscarem e descobrirem o que é servir”</p>
<ul>
<li>No casamento (Lar)</li>
</ul>
<p>Os sentimentos virão em conseqüência do comportamento</p>
<ul>
<li>No dia-dia</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I enjoy blogging and will probably continue, but I am convinced that this post is the culmination for Autism In A Word. I cannot imagine that there will ever be a post here as good and meaningful as this one.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s a recap,<br />
Rhema is a 5 ½ years old with autism, aphasia, and a seizure disorder – all of which make it extremely difficult&#8230; no, nearly impossible for her to speak and understand language.</p>
<p>When last tested, Rhema had the expressive and receptive language of a 12-month old.</p>
<p>For years I wondered how/why God would give us a daughter named Rhema – a name that means the “<a href="http://rhemashope.wordpress.com/the-rhema-word/">spoken word</a>” &#8211; that could not, would not speak. Now I know that it was, as my twin would say, the perfect setup. The perfect setup for God to do something amazing with The Word.</p>
<p>Readers of this blog know that I have quoted a verse to Rhema every night since she was a baby. It never seemed like she was <a href="http://blackknightsbrood.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/me-too/">listening</a>. But she was. Recently she began saying parts of the verse on her own. Of all the countless hours of language-based therapy she has received, no one taught her this&#8230;</p>
<p>This Word is in her heart, and now, it’s in her mouth.</p>
<p>Over the past year of blogging I have been blessed and surprised at the care and interest people have shown toward Rhema and our family. Many have cheered the ups and endured the downs with us for over a year now. Many have prayed for Rhema.</p>
<p>Come and listen to what the Lord has done.</p>
