The second step, which could be described as the result of total faith in the Word of God, is to block out all your other senses so that you only see what the eyes of your heart will communicate to you by faith. You can’t have it both ways: you either walk by faith or […]
As we have already explained, the Lord created us to be in close communion with Him. Our relationship with God must be based on an essential element that I identified above: nudity, in other words a total and complete transparency, in which no clothing, veil or barrier prevents the proximity of the people involved in […]
I really like the book of Genesis, because it shows us the Lord’s intentions when he created and structured the world. Genesis reveals to us that God created man in his image: “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him” Genesis 1:27. The term “image” means “like or […]
Jesus, as the Bridegroom, not only wants to become intimate with his bride and unite with her, but he desires it with a burning passion: “As a bride brings joy to her bridegroom, so you will bring joy to your God. » ISAIAH 62:5 It is in the context of this intimate relationship that we […]
What we see of God will depend on the kind of relationship we develop with him.

Sometimes it can be there without revealing itself in any tangible way. The glory of God, on the other hand, is a physical manifestation that the eye […]
In the midst of this battle zone, Paul writes in 2 Timothy 1:1-2: “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to preach the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, to Timothy , my beloved child: may grace, mercy and peace be given to you from God the Father and […]
Paul went through many trials, his difficulties far exceeding what contemporary believers encounter. It is quite possible that Paul felt alone in his cell, depressed, abandoned, rejected, hurt and destroyed. Paul could have been demolished, if only because his disciples left him when he needed them most.This alone can destroy anyone. (We must keep in […]
In the eighth verse, Paul says: “So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.” According to this verse, Timothy is tempted to do two things: (1) to be ashamed of the testimony about […]
