La paz de Dios

Referencias de las Escrituras: Salmo 119:165, Gálatas 5:22-23, John 16:33, Salmo 147:4, Isaías 9:6, John 10:29, and Daniel 2:21

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. Salmo 119:165

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, alegría, peace, longsuffering, dulzura, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gálatas 5:22-23

These things have I spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33

Everyone in this world desires peace. The politicians are promising peace, but they cannot deliver that.

Why do we yearn for peace in our souls? Because we are all created by God, who offers this peace to all His children. Peace is listed third in the list of the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23.

Jesus told us in John 16:33, “In the world you will have tribulation, trials, and suffering, but be assured and confident I have overcome the world.”

God created us for a relationship with Him, but we try to fill this void in our hearts with all kinds of things, but nothing satisfies. Only a relationship with Jesus can satisfy our longing soul for fellowship with our Creator God and Father.

Jesus is the answer to every problem we face in this world. He binds up our broken hearts and heals our wounds (ref. Salmo 147:3). He is the Great Physician.

In Isaiah 9:6, which is a foretelling of His birth, it states that Jesus will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

How can we describe God’s peace to someone who has never experienced it? It’s the knowledge that I am forgiven, and I don’t need to hide my sins and secrets anymore. I don’t have to wear a mask and pretend anymore that everything is great. I can be real. I am loved and accepted by God just the way I am because Jesus paid my sin debt on the cross. I am no longer separated from God. I can love and forgive others because of what God has done for me. I am free. That is what gives me peace. I don’t belong to the devil anymore; I was bought by the precious blood of Jesus. I belong to God now, and no one can pluck me out of the Father’s hand (ref. John 10:29).

Another kind of peace comes from trusting God, no matter what is going on in the world or in my personal life. During this very turbulent and sometimes toxic election cycle, I worked 9 days of early voting, and I will work on Election Day, which is a 14.5-hour day. I still have peace.

Do you know why I have peace? I recognize that God is in control. None of this is taking Him by surprise. Daniel 2:21 says “He changes the times and the seasons; He removes Kings and raises Kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those how have understanding.”

God is the one ultimately who decides who runs this country. We still need to do our part. I vote. I put a “No on Amendment 4” signs on my lawn, and I have worked the polls for over a decade. I thank God for giving me this time to do it, the strength and endurance to wake up at 4:30 AM, y I pray daily.

The enemy is continually trying to rob you of your peace because he knows you belong to God. He cannot take your spirit to hell, but he can torment you.

Spend time alone with the Lord in a quiet place, and allow His Holy Spirit minister to you. He loves you so much, and He knows your struggles. He collects your tears in a bottle. He knows everything about you, and He still loves you more than you can comprehend. Ask Him to cover you with His peace and to protect you. Make a daily decision to walk in His peace regardless of what is going on around you.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

1.) Are you experiencing God’s peace right now?
If yes, why do you feel peace?

If no, what is preventing you from experiencing His peace?

2.) How can we encourage you and pray for you today?

My prayer for you is that you will experience the peace and joy of the Lord in your heart, mente, and soul. Por favor contacta. We are here for you. Envíeme un correo electrónico a: toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Eres amado,

¿Por qué tengo problemas con la intimidad??

¿Por qué tengo problemas con la intimidad??

¿Por qué tengo problemas con la intimidad??

by Toni Weisz/Abuse Recovery

Escrituras: 1 Corintios 6:12-20, 7:1-9 and Revelation 21:4

Excerpt taken from an AACC book, The Bible for Hope: Caring for People God’s Way (Pages 1500–1501 by Clifford L. Penner and Joyce J. Penner):
“Women function on two tracks, the emotional and the physical. These must be connected for a woman to be interested and open to intimacy. Women open up when they feel loved and connected with their husbands.”

The problem we have as women who have experienced abortion and/or abuse is we are not deeply connected emotionally. We have a fear of intimacy. Intimacy does not come easy for us. We have built a wall around ourselves to keep us safe and protected. But those walls have become our prison cell, and we are locked behind them, feeling all alone and isolated. We cannot give or receive love in this place.

We need someone to come and rescue us. We need our Savior, Jesús, to come and slowly take the bricks away that are around our heart so we can slowly walk out of this prison into more intentional and intimate relationships with people. It can be scary at first, but Jesus is leading us with His righteous right hand. We are safe with Him.

How do we finally break free and trust again? It is a very slow process that can take many, many years. I was struggling to be more intimate with my husband and to relax and enjoy being with him, instead of just rushing through it, because I have had this wall up around my heart for so long. In the past, he was not a person I trusted to not hurt me emotionally. But I have been seeing some improvement, and he did take good care of me after my surgery back in June 2024. Entonces, I am feeling like it is time to reevaluate that boundary. I have shared this with my accountability partner, and we are both praying about this for me. I want to honor God in my marriage.

I was also plagued with bad memories from my past regarding our relationship. They would come out of nowhere, but I know who the author of it is; the enemy hates marriage, and he would rather I not be the godly, loving wife God created me to be. I am intentionally going back to those unpleasant memories with Jesus holding my hand, and we will revisit those times and situations because I want God’s perspective, His wisdom and guidance, not mine. I want to be healed in those areas. I want to feel love and to be able to show love also. I feel like a robot. I want that to change.

Last year I started a new journal, and I went back to my first memory with my husband and how our relationship started and how I felt. I asked the Lord to remove any blindness so I could see clearly what my part was in the formation of this relationship. I wrote four full pages the first morning, and then I heard the song, Cicatrices en el cielo, and God even showed me a rainbow. He whispered to my heart, “It will be okay, Pájaro; you will be healed in this area. I am with you; you are not alone.” I did this for seven days. And afterwards, I could not recall any of those tormenting and harmful memories. God had taken them all away. Now one year later, I am more able to enjoy intimacy without fear of being hurt. Gracias, Jesús, for that gift.

One day, querido, all your wounds will be healed. We can experience healing here, but when we get to Glory, there will be no more pain, sorrow, or crying. Jesus will wipe away all our tears. We will finally be healed, whole, and surrounded by perfect Love.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:
1. For those of you who are married, have you struggled with intimacy with your husband? How did you work through that?

3. Have you had a difficult time having healthy relationships with men in your past? If yes, can you give an example?

4. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

Thank you for being on this call or reading this blog. It was not an easy one for me to write, but I felt like I needed to share my struggles with you so you feel safe sharing yours. You are safe here, querido.

La mujer en el pozo

La mujer en el pozo

La mujer en el pozo

by Toni Weisz/Spiritual Warfare

 

Escrituras: John 4:4, 7-10, 13-18
But He needed to go through Samaria.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

Jesús respondió y le dijo, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

Jesús respondió y le dijo, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, Pero quien beba el agua que le daré nunca tendrá sed. Pero el agua que le daré se convertirá en él en una fuente de agua que surge en la vida eterna ”.

The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

Jesus said, “Go call your husband, and come here.”

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”

Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

 

We see in the Scriptures that Jesus goes out of His way to meet this broken, shame-filled, lonely woman. Why was she at the well at that time? She came in the heat of the day when no one else was there so she would not see the disdain on the other women’s faces, nor see them whispering about her. She was a sinner in their eyes. Even unbeliever’s have their standards of right and wrong. For those of us who have been labeled certain things because of our past sins, we might find it easier to isolate than to face their pointing fingers, their whispers, and harsh comments or cold shoulders.

But Jesus clearly goes out of His way to specifically speak to her, a Gentile, and a Samaritan at that. Jews hated Samaritans, and a man speaking with a woman was especially looked down upon. Jesus treated women with the same respect He showed men. That was radical for that day and time. Women were looked down upon as a piece of property with no rights.

Jesus goes after the lost sheep, which was once all of us, especially women who have abortion or abuse in our past. We feel safer isolating and not being seen in public because we find it easier. But Jesus breaks through those walls we have put up to protect ourselves because He knows He is the only one who can truly save us from the evil one who torments us day and night and that He only can heal us in all our broken places.

God showed me a vision of a dungeon, dank, dark, and musty, and women sitting in chains with no way to escape. Those are the women our ministry rescues from the evil one. Jesus showed me that I was to go into the dungeon, and I saw myself climbing down the stairs, holding tightly to His hand as I reach out to grab these women to lead them out of the door of this dark place into His glorious healing light.

Our libro electronico has a picture of a dungeon with butterflies effortlessly floating out of the dungeon, which is a picture of these precious women being rescued, curado, and set free.

Leading Them into His Light. Toni Weisz. Mis cenizas a la belleza

It reminds me of the old Fanny Crosby song,

“Rescue the Perishing.” (1869)

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

Refrain:
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

 

Our ministry goes into the dungeons to rescue women who are still in bondage and chains. Thank God we are slowly going into more churches where these precious women are still hiding who are being tormented by the evil one. On August 18, 2024, I had the opportunity to go to Family Church in Downtown West Palm Beach to promote our ministry. I am grateful for our ministry partners: First Care Women’s Clinic in West Palm Beach, Care Net, Love Life, Choose Life Radio, Family Church in Jupiter, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, and Calvary Church in Jupiter. With our partnership with them, we are able to reach even more women with the help, hope, and healing of Jesus Christ. With our partnership with them, we are able to reach even more women with the help, hope, and healing of Jesus Christ.

Thank you all for your part in this ministry. Even if this is your first conference call, just you being here is vitally important to our work. Thank you to my courageous team of volunteers all over the country. If it wasn’t for you, we could not reach these women and take care of them the way we do. I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. Where are you on your healing journey? Are you just starting or have you been working on it for many years?
  2. Where were you when Jesus found you? Were you like the woman at the well, hiding from others?
  3. How did you hear about our ministry?
  4. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

Espero que este tema te haya sido útil.. Si necesitas hablar, por favor envíeme un correo electrónico a: toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Mi herida de rechazo

Mi herida de rechazo

Mi herida de rechazo

Por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

Escrituras: John 4:13-14 y 1 Corintios 13:4-8a

John 4:13-14
Jesús respondió y le dijo, “Quien beba el agua de nuevo, Pero quien beba el agua que le daré nunca tendrá sed. Pero el agua que le daré se convertirá en él en una fuente de agua que surge en la vida eterna ”.

1 Corintios 13:4-8a
El amor sufre mucho y es amable; El amor no envidia; El amor no se desfile a sí mismo, no está hinchado; no se comporta rudamente, no busca el suyo, no se provoca, piensa que no hay mal; no se regocija en la iniquidad, Pero se regocija en la verdad; lleva todas las cosas, cree todas las cosas, Espera todas las cosas, soporta todas las cosas. El amor nunca falla.

¿Por qué anhelo pertenecer a mi familia terrenal??

¿Por qué esa herida de rechazo es tan profunda??

¿Por qué quiero más lo que no puedo tener??

El Señor hablando a través del Espíritu Santo, "Porque, Querido pájaro, Fuiste creado para amar y ser amado, Especialmente por tu familia. Así es como te creé. El pozo está seco, Pájaro. Sla mejor esperanza; STop deja caer su cubo esperando que lo llenen. Solo puedo llenarte. Yo soy el vivo Watropellarse, Subiendo a la vida eterna. WCuando bebas esta agua, Nunca más te darás sed. Venir, Pájaro, dejar METROE lléntate hasta que se desborde. Permitir METROy amor, tan gentil y tan amable, Suya todos tus lugares rotos. len METROY Paz Paz Te gusta una manta cálida en una fresca noche de invierno, y dejar METROy alegría llena tu corazón y tu mente con esperanza y verdadera satisfacción. Permitirás METROe hacer eso por ti?"

"Sí, Caballero, Yo me rinde todo. Quiero Ypara ser mi todo en todo. Quiero Ypara llenar el anhelo en mi corazón. Quiero Ypara validar y afirmarme. Quiero Ypara darme paz que el mundo nunca me puede dar. Quiero YNuestro amor de fluir a través de mí. Tu amor es gentil, amable, paciente, no hinchado, no egoísta, no se aferran a los errores, Pero en su lugar se regocija en la verdad, lleva todas las cosas, cree todas las cosas, Espera todas las cosas, soporta todas las cosas. Tu amor nunca falla ".

 

Querido, Sé que tu corazón también se ha roto. Ruego que permita que Jesús te cure en todos tus lugares rotos y permita que su agua viva te llene.

Preguntas que tomar para Hguisante:

  1. ¿Has experimentado rechazo en tu pasado??
  2. ¿Todavía luchas con el rechazo incluso ahora a veces??
  3. ¿Qué haces para ayudarte a superar y sanar esa herida profunda??
  4. ¿Cómo podemos rezar por usted en esta área??

Ruego que sepas cuánto eres amado por Dios. Tiene un hermoso plan para tu vida. Wsombrero el enemigo significaba para el mal, Dios puede dar la vuelta para tu bien y su gloria. Por favor comuníquese si necesita hablar: toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Eres amado,
Toni
