Istrouma en Español May 28 , 2023 ========== 28 de Mayo, 2023 El Camino de la Bendicion Filipenses 3:12-14 ========== Filipenses 3:12-14 No que lo haya alcanzado ya, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si logro asir aquello para lo cual fui también asido por Cristo Jesús. Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús. 1. NUESTRA EVALUACION SE DEBE HACER CON BUENA ACTITUD - Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, No temeré mal alguno, porque tú estarás conmigo; Tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento. Salmo 23:4 - No que lo haya alcanzado ya, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si logro asir aquello para lo cual fui también asido por Cristo Jesús. Filipenses 3:12 2. LAS EXPERIENCIAS DEL PASADO MARCAN TU VIDA PERO NO DETERMINARAN TU FUTURO - Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás 3. NUESTRA MIRADA DEBE ESTAR PUESTA HACIA ADELANTE (FE) - El Apostol dijo: ...y extendiéndome a lo que está delante - 25 Tus ojos miren lo recto, Y diríjanse tus párpados hacia lo que tienes delante.26 Examina la senda de tus pies, Y todos tus caminos sean rectos. 27 No te desvíes a la derecha ni a la izquierda; Aparta tu pie del mal. Proverbios 4: 25-27 4. LEVANTEMONOS Y PROSIGAMOS QUE NO ESTAMOS SOLO EN ESTE CAMINO - Ustedes no han pasado por ninguna prueba que no sea humanamente soportable. Y pueden ustedes confiar en Dios, que no los dejará sufrir pruebas más duras de lo que pueden soportar. Por el contrario, cuando llegue la prueba, Dios les dará también la manera de salir de ella, para que puedan soportarla. 1 Corintios 10:13 - El apostol dijo: "... prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús".

The tree of life was on each side of the river, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations, and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Night will be no more; people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever. Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.” “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” Then he said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy still be filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; let the holy still be holy.” “Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me to repay each person according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. “Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and descendant of David, the bright morning star.” Both the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let anyone who hears, say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely. I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, which are written about in this book. He who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone. Amen. Revelation 21:6 Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give to the thirsty from the spring of the water of life. Tells us what we are (v. 11) Tells us where we are (v. 12-15) Tells us whose we are (v. 16) Three last things we see 1. The Last Welcome (v. 17) 2. The Last Warning (v. 18-19) Luke 13:3 "Unless you repent, you will all perish." 3. The Last Word (v. 20-21) 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 12:1-4 I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. Your view of Heaven will determine how you live on Earth! Revelation 17:14 “They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings — and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers”. 2 Corinthians 12:10 “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong”.

Istrouma en Español Nov 20 – 22, 2022 ========== 20 de Noviembre, 2022 "El Ultimo Round" Apocalipsis 12 ========== Apocalipsis 12:1-17 Apareció en el cielo una gran señal: una mujer vestida del sol, con la luna debajo de sus pies, y sobre su cabeza una corona de doce estrellas. Y estando encinta, clamaba con dolores de parto, en la angustia del alumbramiento. También apareció otra señal en el cielo: he aquí un gran dragón escarlata, que tenía siete cabezas y diez cuernos, y en sus cabezas siete diademas; y su cola arrastraba la tercera parte de las estrellas del cielo, y las arrojó sobre la tierra. Y el dragón se paró frente a la mujer que estaba para dar a luz, a fin de devorar a su hijo tan pronto como naciese. Y ella dio a luz un hijo varón, que regirá con vara de hierro a todas las naciones; y su hijo fue arrebatado para Dios y para su trono. Y la mujer huyó al desierto, donde tiene lugar preparado por Dios, para que allí la sustenten por mil doscientos sesenta días. Después hubo una gran batalla en el cielo: Miguel y sus ángeles luchaban contra el dragón; y luchaban el dragón y sus ángeles; pero no prevalecieron, ni se halló ya lugar para ellos en el cielo. Y fue lanzado fuera el gran dragón, la serpiente antigua, que se llama diablo y Satanás, el cual engaña al mundo entero; fue arrojado a la tierra, y sus ángeles fueron arrojados con él. Entonces oí una gran voz en el cielo, que decía: Ahora ha venido la salvación, el poder, y el reino de nuestro Dios, y la autoridad de su Cristo; porque ha sido lanzado fuera el acusador de nuestros hermanos, el que los acusaba delante de nuestro Dios día y noche. Y ellos le han vencido por medio de la sangre del Cordero y de la palabra del testimonio de ellos, y menospreciaron sus vidas hasta la muerte. Por lo cual alegraos, cielos, y los que moráis en ellos. ¡Ay de los moradores de la tierra y del mar! porque el diablo ha descendido a vosotros con gran ira, sabiendo que tiene poco tiempo. Y cuando vio el dragón que había sido arrojado a la tierra, persiguió a la mujer que había dado a luz al hijo varón. Y se le dieron a la mujer las dos alas de la gran águila, para que volase de delante de la serpiente al desierto, a su lugar, donde es sustentada por un tiempo, y tiempos, y la mitad de un tiempo. Y la serpiente arrojó de su boca, tras la mujer, agua como un río, para que fuese arrastrada por el río. Pero la tierra ayudó a la mujer, pues la tierra abrió su boca y tragó el río que el dragón había echado de su boca. Entonces el dragón se llenó de ira contra la mujer; y se fue a hacer guerra contra el resto de la descendencia de ella, los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios y tienen el testimonio de Jesucristo. 1. Satanás trata que el Hombre dude de Dios (Edén) 3 Y la serpiente era más astuta que cualquiera de los animales del campo que el Señor Dios había hecho. Y dijo a la mujer: ¿Conque Dios os ha dicho: «No comeréis de ningún árbol del huerto»? 2 Y la mujer respondió a la serpiente: Del fruto de los árboles del huerto podemos comer; 3 pero del fruto del árbol que está en medio del huerto, ha dicho Dios: «No comeréis de él, ni lo tocaréis, para que no muráis». 4 Y la serpiente dijo a la mujer: Ciertamente no moriréis. Genesis 3:1-5 2. Satanás trata que Dios dude del Hombre (Job) 8 Y el Señor dijo a Satanás: ¿Te has fijado en mi siervo Job? Porque no hay ninguno como él sobre la tierra, hombre intachable y recto, temeroso de Dios y apartado del mal. 9 Respondió Satanás al Señor: ¿Acaso teme Job a Dios de balde? 10¿No has hecho tú una valla alrededor de él, de su casa y de todo lo que tiene, por todos lados? Has bendecido el trabajo de sus manos y sus posesiones han aumentado en la tierra. 11 Pero extiende ahora tu mano y toca todo lo que tiene, verás si no te maldice en tu misma cara. 12 Entonces el Señor dijo a Satanás: He aquí, todo lo que tiene está en tu poder; pero no extiendas tu mano sobre él. Y Satanás salió de la presencia del Señor. Job 1:8-12 3. Satanás ataca al Dios – Hombre (Jesús) 4 Entonces Jesús fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto para ser tentado por el diablo. 2 Y después de haber ayunado cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, entonces tuvo hambre. 3 Y acercándose el tentador, le dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, di que estas piedras se conviertan en pan. 4 Pero Él respondiendo, dijo: Escrito está: «No solo de pan vivirá el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios». 5 Entonces el diablo le llevó* a la ciudad santa, y le puso sobre el pináculo del templo,6 y le dijo*: Si eres Hijo de Dios, lánzate abajo, pues escrito está: «A sus Ángeles te encomendará»,y:«En las manos te llevarán,no sea que tu pie tropiece en piedra». 7 Jesús le dijo: También está escrito: «No tentarás al Señor tu Dios». 8 Otra vez el diablo le llevó* a un monte muy alto, y le mostró* todos los reinos del mundo y la gloria de ellos, 9 y le dijo: Todo esto te daré, si postrándote me adoras. 10 Entonces Jesús le dijo*: ¡Vete, Satanás! Porque escrito está: «Al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y solo a Él servirás». 11 El diablo entonces le dejó*; y he aquí, ángeles vinieron y le servían.

For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo September 11, 2022 | Tim Keith "A United Church" 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 26-31 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction. For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers and sisters, by members of Chloe’s people, that there is rivalry among you. What I am saying is this: One of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul’s name? 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us — our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption — in order that, as it is written: Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord. Disunity: The Cause Pride (v. 26-31) Pride is when your Preferences come first and your Prayers come last. Disunity: The Consequences We Fight (v.11) We Fail (v.26) Disunity: The Cure Proclaim the Gospel (v.17) Humble yourself in prayer (v.2,19) Surrender your preferences over to Christ (v.10,31) Romans 12:18: “as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Want to receive weekly announcements in your inbox each week? https://istrouma.org/email Give Online Text ISTROUMA IBC to 73256 or go to: https://istrouma.org/give Our Website https://istrouma.org

Istrouma Baptist Church (BR) Aug 7, 2022 ========== August 7 l Freedom From Your Addiction Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo August 7, 2022 | Tim Keith "Freedom From Your Addiction" Romans 7:14-25 Hebrews 2:18 -- Because He himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 4:15 -- For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He did not sin. Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold as a slave under sin. For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate. Now if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good. So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it. For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do. Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one that does it, but it is the sin that lives in me. So I discover this law: When I want to do what is good, evil is present with me. For in my inner self I delight in God’s law, but I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am serving the law of God, but with my flesh, the law of sin. 2 Peter 2:19 - People are slaves to whatever has mastered them. What Is Your Addiction? Romans 7:15 For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate. How Does Addiction Impact Your Life? - You Lose Sight of What is Happening (v.19) - You Lose Your Will to Fight (v.18) - You Lose What is Important (v.24) How Can You Be Rescued From Addiction? 1. Get Honest with God and Others (v.19) 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.

Rely on God's Power (8:2-3) Romans 8:2-3 because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do since it was weakened by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh as a sin offering, How Can You Be Rescued From Addiction? 3. Change Your Mindset (8:5-6) Romans 8:5-6 For those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on the things of the Spirit. Now the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace. Memorize God's Word Hebrews 4:12 - (God's Word) is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart. Scripture is poison to your addiction! Study God's Word with God's People Obey God's Voice... Immediately! Galatians 5:16 I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. Romans 8:1-11 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do since it was weakened by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh as a sin offering, in order that the law’s requirement would be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on the things of the Spirit. Now the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace. The mindset of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit to God’s law. Indeed, it is unable to do so. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him. Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you.
