CIUDADANOS DE DOS MUNDOS
By Alberto Vadivia Cier
Philippians 3:17-4:1
Just as we earthly citizenship also have a heavenly citizenship. We live in these two dimensions, enjoy these two aspects of existence, must know how to live in these two worlds so that we stay a healthy balance
The earthly is to be enjoyed but do not set our hearts there. Paul tells us that many times we have a tendency to live only for our desires, so that we make our wish a god whom we adore. This approach is called hedonism (living for pleasure).
earthly thing can also make us lose the real value of things, so that we can be proud of what really is our shame (racism, self-sufficiency, etc.)..
What on earth is utilitarian but does not serve to raise our minds and our souls, we should not put our thoughts and priorities in it. Many believers without
intending to live as enemies of the cross, because they live only in the earthly realm, and not follow the way of the cross that followed Christ who crucified him on the earth to give us salvation.
The celestial must fill all our expectations . All our wishes and desires must be directed to heaven, our heavenly citizenship is to be eternal so that is where we experience full happiness. Two things must always fill our thoughts and hearts, the desire to meet Jesus our Savior and experience his company forever, comfort and love. He is the source of our happiness, and should be the object of our dreams and desires.
also need to put our expectations in the transformation that the Lord will operate in our human nature, so we will receive glorified bodies and hearts purified, fit to live eternally in the kingdom of heaven.
We must always evaluate our way and replace our eyes on the spiritual, enjoying in moderation this time but put our hope in the kingdom of heaven

VENCIENDO
By Alberto Valdivia Cier
Luke 4:1-13
be tempted is to be attracted to evil. We need to know how to operate the temptation and what are the weapons God has given us to win. The victory of Jesus in the wilderness of temptation, leaves us many lessons that we can be very useful whenever the devil tries to attack us.
We are tempted in our physical weaknesses
Our sinful nature causes us have physical weaknesses and passions, laziness, gluttony, etc.. We do not live only to feed our physical desires, but mainly to feed our souls with the Word of God. Be filled with the Word of God helps us to break the meat that lives in us
We are tempted to pride and greed
The devil gives us power, wealth and earthly glory but he looks with that is that our heart is surrendered to the world and so we turn away from God
We must decide only give our heart and worship God, not to seek earthly riches but spiritual ones
We
tempted to doubt God's promises
The devil, using a biblical text, Jesus asks vacuum is pulled to test whether what God promises is true. What the devil wants to sow doubts of God in everyone. We should not test God, we must believe in him, even at times when it seems that we do not respond or we all go wrong.
The Word of God, faith and prayer are Jesus used powerful weapons to overcome temptation. We must also use these weapons to defeat the wiles of the devil and be grounded in God.

TEMPTATION TRUE SPIRITUAL HAPPINESS
By Alberto Valdivia
Luke 6:17-26
Jesus healing and freeing people from demons, all seeking to be freed from their evil, then Jesus takes this situation to teach them about how they can experience true happiness
True happiness consists not in possessing everything . Earthly wealth brings a momentary satisfaction, but not the essence of happiness, happy are those who are not dominated by the urge to possess, which can have material things but your heart is not put into it but in the realm of God.
True happiness is not to be content . Man seeks to satisfy all your needs, but it never quite achieved, there is something that we will not. Despite our shortage in some area of \u200b\u200bour lives, we experience happiness, for God will always know make up for our needs.
True happiness is not no pain . Human beings we would never mourn and just laugh, but we all have to play a portion of suffering, the suffering purify and perfect our lives, enabling us to seek and find God's comfort.
True happiness is not to be accepted by others . People seek the applause of men want to please others, so their behavior to accommodate the group's demand. Instead we Christians seek to please God, so many times we are against the current, our ethics is not pleasant for many and that creates antipathy against us. Remember that we are in the world but not of the world, please God, not man.

Luke 5:1-11
Jesus calls Peter to be a "fisher of men." Used as fishermen who had the apostle to compare with the spiritual task that he must comply. In this miracle of Jesus is revealed important principles concerning the spiritual fishing.
Fishing is often difficult and can lead to discouragement . The apostle and his friends were working all night and failed to catch anything, that the discouragement. Spiritual fishing is also difficult, has its moments of ups and downs, people harden their hearts and turn away from God and it is difficult to attract them to the gospel. We must trust the Lord and persist in the task. To fish successfully requires the action of God. Jesus helps fishermen to find fish. Similarly in the spiritual realm Jesus will lead us to find people prepared to receive the gospel, our task is to "cast the net in its name," so we must create opportunities for evangelism, the Lord will do the rest. We believe that the Lord will act in his time.
To fish successfully requires everyone to work together . Note that it is necessary to help get many fish. Spiritual fishing is not a task for one, if not all, therefore we must somehow engage in evangelism. Invite guests, hand out leaflets, sharing the gospel, pray for unbelievers, there is much to be done.
To fish successfully requires surrender to the Lord. Peter fell to his knees before the Lord and confessed his sins. To fulfill the Christian mission is necessary to give more of our lives to God. He will use us more as having more than us. However, delivery can be not only spiritual, it is necessary also give our time and dedication for him. Peter and the other disciples did not just fall on their knees, also left everything and followed him. May God and his work is a priority in our lives.
May God help us have a great "spiritual catch" for His glory. Amen
