Hace poco reflexionaba sobre cómo ha cambiado mi relación con Jesús desde que dejé la fe de mi infancia. Aunque ya no creo en todas las cosas que creía en mi infancia adventista del séptimo día (confieso que ya no voy a la iglesia), descubrí que Jesús sigue presente en mi vida. Siempre amé a […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-jesus-sigue-presente/

Memory Text:
“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8, NKJV).
A powerful narrative that reveals the nature of the cosmic conflict can be found in 1 Kings 18:19-40, Elijah on Mount Carmel, where the Lord exposes the so-called “gods of the nations.” Yet, there is more behind the scenes about these “gods” than that they are mere figments of pagan imagination. Behind the “gods” that the nations surrounding Israel thought they were worshiping was, actually, something else.
“ ‘They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they did not know, to new gods, new arrivals that your fathers did not fear’ ” (Deuteronomy 32:17, NKJV). Paul adds, “The things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons” (1 Corinthians 10:20, NKJV).
Behind the false “gods” of the nations, then, were actually demons in disguise. This means, then, that all of the texts of Scripture dealing with idolatry and the foreign gods are “cosmic conflict” texts.
With this background, the cosmic conflict theme is better understood. And this truth has massive implications for understanding more about the nature of this conflict and how it sheds light on the problem of evil.

A large percentage of Dr. Darlene Blaney’s clients, struggle with digestive disorders. This is critical because our digestion influences everything from nutrient absorption to immune function; some scientists even refer to the digestive tract as the “second brain” due to the strong brain-gut connection. Having a healthy digestive system is crucial in obtaining optimal health physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL2AZCpKWs8
“Mosè disse al Signore: «Ahimè, Signore, io non sono un oratore; non lo ero in passato e non lo sono da quando tu hai parlato al tuo servo; poiché io sono lento di parola e di lingua»”. 📖 Esodo 4:10

1. Origin of the Conflict
2. The Battle on Earth
3. Satan’s Strategies and God’s Ways
4. The Core of the Conflict: Worship and Loyalty
5. Victory Is Assured
Read the Bible regularly – it is your weapon. Pray for wisdom and strength in daily life. Remember: Your identity is in Christ, not in your mistakes.
Final Thought:
1. Trust in Daily Life: Do I Trust God Even Without All the Answers? Start each day with prayer, asking for trust in God’s guidance. When doubts arise, remember God’s faithfulness in the past.
2. Recognize Temptations in Your Daily Life Memorize Bible verses that help you in your moments of weakness. When making decisions, ask yourself: “Does this bring me closer to God or push me away?” 3. Be Vigilant Against Satan’s Strategies Recognize when thoughts or circumstances sow doubt about God’s goodness. Combat these thoughts with biblical truth. 4. Worship and Loyalty: What Holds Priority in Your Life? Set aside dedicated time for God—prayer, Bible reading, and gratitude. Regularly ask yourself: “Who or what is my highest priority?” 5. You Are Not Fighting Alone – Victory Is Certain! When tempted, pray: “Lord, help me stay strong.” Seek fellowship with other believers – together, you are stronger. Final Thought:
