JESÚS HIZO LA VOLUNTAD DEL PADRE/JESUS DID THE FATHER'S WILL by Doyle Davidson, Chapter 1.1 Español/English


JESÚS HIZO LA VOLUNTAD DEL PADRE, Capítulo 1.1, Jesús Caminó Como un Hombre
En los primeros libros, vimos que el evangelio de Cristo es la muerte, el entierro y la resurrección del Señor Jesús y que el evangelio es el poder de Dios para salvación de cualquiera que crea, primeramente al Judío y también al Griego. ¡Vimos que el evangelio es siempre una bendición, que el evangelio siempre es con poder y el evangelio es siempre "sí"!
En nuestros siguientes libros, vamos a ver como Dios reconcilió al hombre a sí mismo por medio del evangelio. Vamos a ver como Jesús se comportó en los tres días en que ocurrieron los eventos del evangelio y vamos a ver que si creemos en el evangelio, podemos tener las bendiciones en nuestras vidas.
Jesús Aprendió Obediencia
En este libro, vamos a examinar algunos de los eventos que tomaron lugar en la vida del Señor Jesucristo antes de Su muerte, entierro y resurrección. Estos eventos no son en el sentido estricto, los eventos del evangelio mismo, pero Jesús tuvo que pasar por ellos antes que el evangelio tomara lugar. Hebreos 5:8 nos dice que Jesús aprendió obediencia por medio de las cosas que el sufrió o experimentó. Si Jesús no hubiera obedecido al Padre, Él no hubiera podido soportar la cruz.
Hebreos 2:18 dice que Jesús sufrió siendo tentado. La única vez que sufriremos es cuando somos tentados a no obedecer a Dios. Cualquier otro tipo de experiencia, no importa que tan dolorosa es, no es sufrimiento. Jesús sufrió, Él fue tentado, fue como Él aprendió obediencia.
Yo alabo a Dios que me enseñó como Jesús caminó en la tierra, como Él se acercó a la cruz y como Él caminó en obediencia con Dios. Lo que yo quiero mostrarte en este libro es que Jesús siempre tuvo comunicación perfecta con el Padre y Él siempre hizo la voluntad del Padre.
El apóstol Pablo nos dice en Filipenses 2:7 que cuando Jesús vino a la tierra, Él se despojó a Sí Mismo. La frase viene de la palabra Griega Kenoo y significa que Él se vació de Sí Mismo de todos sus privilegios Divinos y autoridad. Aunque Él era Dios, Él no caminó como Dios. En cambio Él caminó como un hombre.
Jesús Era un Hombre
Jesús era un hombre. El Espíritu de Jesús el hombre era el Hijo del cielo, pero Su alma y Su cuerpo vinieron de María, Su madre. Él fue alimentado en el vientre por María, Su madre y Él recibió Su sangre de María, Su madre.
Romanos 1:3 dice que Jesús "era del linaje de David según la carne". Hebreos 2:16 dice que "él socorrió (tomó) sobre él la descendencia de Abraham". Gálatas 4:4 nos dice que "Pero cuando vino el cumplimiento del tiempo, Dios envió a su Hijo, nacido de mujer y nacido bajo la Ley". Tan notable como puede sonar a los oídos religiosos, Jesús era un hombre.
Hasta que Jesús tenía unos 30 años de edad, Él no operó en el poder de Dios. Hubo una diferencia notable en Su sabiduría y en Su habilidad para hacer preguntas, pero Él no caminó en el poder de Dios. Él no realizó algún milagro. Él no sanó a personas. Él no resucitó a las personas de entre los muertos. Él no perturbó a demasiada gente. De hecho, no te puedo decir que Él perturbó a alguna persona.
Sin embargo, cuando Él tenía unos 30 años de edad, Jesús fue bautizado en el río Jordán. Cuando Él salió del río, orando, los cielos fueron abiertos y el Espíritu de Dios descendió en Él, en la figura de cuerpo de una paloma.
Él fue bautizado en el Espíritu Santo y fue inmediatamente llevado al desierto por 40 días para ser tentado. Ahí Él ayuno y oró y venció al demonio y regresó a Galilea en el poder de Dios, en la habilidad del Espíritu Santo.
En Hechos 10:38, el apóstol Pedro dice como Dios ungió a Jesús de Nazaret con el Espíritu Santo y con poder. La palabra "poder" es de la palabra Griega dunamis y significa habilidad, en este caso, la habilidad de Dios. Él fue alrededor haciendo el bien y sanando a todos los que estaban oprimidos por el demonio.
Así, hasta que Jesús tenía unos 30 años de edad, Él no operó en el poder de Dios. Después de Su bautismo en el Espíritu Santo, Él era todavía era un hombre, pero Él operó en la habilidad de Dios. Él caminó en esta tierra, como nuestro ejemplo y entonces Él fue a la cruz.
JESUS DID THE FATHER’S WILL, Chapter 1.1, Jesus Walked As a Man
In our earlier books, we saw that the gospel of Christ is the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes--to the Jew first and also to the Greek. We saw that the gospel is always a blessing, that the gospel is always with power, and that the gospel is always "yes"!
In our next books, we are going to see how God reconciled man to Himself through the gospel. We are going to see how Jesus behaved during the three days in which the events of the gospel took place, and we are going to see that if we believe the gospel, we can have its blessings in our lives.
Jesus Learned Obedience
In this book, we are going to examine some of the events that took place in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ prior to His death, burial, and resurrection. These events are not, strictly speaking, the events of the gospel itself, but Jesus had to go through them before the gospel could take place. Hebrews 5:8 tells us that Jesus learned obedience through the things that He suffered, or experienced. If Jesus had not obeyed the Father, He could not have endured the cross.
Hebrews 2:18 says that Jesus suffered being tempted. The only time we suffer is when we are tempted not to obey God. Any other kind of experience, no matter how painful, is not suffering. Jesus suffered--He was tempted--as He learned obedience.
I praise God that He taught me how Jesus walked on the earth, how He approached the cross,and how He walked in obedience to God. What I want to show you in this book is that Jesus always had perfect communication with the Father and that He always did the Father's will.
The apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 2:7 that when Jesus came into the earth, He made Himself of no reputation. That phrase comes from the Greek word kenoo and means that He emptied Himself of all His Godly privilege and authority. Even though He was God, He did not walk as God. Instead, He walked as a man.
Jesus Was a Man
Jesus was a man. The Spirit of Jesus the man was the Son from heaven, but His soul and His body came from Mary, His mother. He was nourished in the womb by Mary, His mother, and He received His blood from Mary, His mother.
Romans 1:3 says that Jesus was "made of the seed of David according to the flesh." Hebrews 2:16 says that "he took on him the seed of Abraham." Galatians 4:4 tells us that "when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law." As remarkable as it may sound to religious ears, Jesus was a man.
Until Jesus was about 30 years old, He did not operate in the power of God. There was a noticeable difference in His wisdom and in His ability to ask questions, but He did not walk in the power of God. He did not perform any miracles. He did not heal anyone. He did not raise anyone from the dead. He did not upset too many people. In fact, I cannot tell that He upset anyone.
When He was about 30 years old, however, Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan. As He came up out of the river, praying, the heavens were opened, and the Spirit of God descended upon Him in the bodily shape of a dove.
He was baptized in the Holy Spirit and was immediately led into the wilderness for 40 days to be tempted. There He fasted and prayed and overcame the devil, and He returned into Galilee in the power of God--in the ability of the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 10:38, the apostle Peter tells how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. The word "power" is from the Greek word dunamis and means ability--in this case, the ability of God. He went around doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.
So, until Jesus was about 30 years old, He did not operate in the power of God. Following His baptism in the Holy Spirit, He was still a man, but He operated in the ability of God. He walked on this earth as our example, and then He went to the cross.

Drumul de întoarcere, The Road Coming Back, română/english

Testimony by Dianna Rice
La începutul anului 2002 s-a pronunțat divorțul meu și în perioada aceea m-am supărat pe Dumnezeu. Mi-am deschis propria afacere și lucram cât puteam de mult, 12 ore pe zi. În următorii ani m-am supărat din ce în ce mai mult pe Dumnezeu și în cele din urmă am rupt legătura cu biserica.
La sfârșitul anului 2006, în nesupunerea mea, am încetat să mai merg la biserică. De atunci am muncit, m-am jucat și m-am adâncit din ce în ce mai mult în păcat. În jurul anului 2008, în sectorul evaluării imobiliare s-a schimbat modul de efectuare a comenzilor, ceea ce a făcut ca clientela mea să dispară. La mijlocul lunii martie 2008, creditorul mi-a trimis o scrisoare prin care mă informa că aveam restanțe la plata impozitului pe clădiri, în jur de peste 15.000 de dolari (creditorul nu m-a informat niciodată că impozitul nu este inclus în rata creditului meu ipotecar). Peste câteva luni a trimis o altă scrisoare prin care mă anunța că suma datorată s-a adăugat la soldul creditului. Rata a crescut cu aproximativ 800 de dolari pe lună, și cum afacerea nu-mi mai aducea venituri, nu am mai putut să-mi plătesc ratele.
Am locuit în casă până la mijlocul anului 2010 fără să plătesc nici măcar o rată. Asociația de locatari a încercat să pună casa în executare silită, dar s-a dovedit că are o descriere legală incorectă, deci nu a putut finaliza acțiunea. Ii mulțumesc lui Dumnezeu că, în ciuda răzvrătirii mele, nu a lăsat niciodată banca să mă execute silit. În ultima parte a anului 2008, îmi aduc aminte că zăceam în sufragerie și strigam la Dumnezeu să mă scoată din această situație; și m-am tot rugat așa timp de câteva luni.
Prima dată când m-am întors la Apa Vieții a fost la înmormântarea lui Terry Mai. În timp ce stăteam jos, spiritul lui Dumnezeu veghea asupra mea; mă simțeam ca și când aș fi venit acasă dintr-o călătorie lungă și știam că nu voi mai putea pleca vreodată. În perioada aceea m-am întors la Apa Vieții; aveam foarte puțin de lucru. Dumnezeu m-a învățat să ies afară în fiecare noapte și să mă rog o oră în mașină. Am continuat așa timp de aproape un an și în nopțile acelea petrecute afară rugându-mă, Dumnezeu m-a eliberat de spiritele pe care le adunasem în mine în răzvrătirea mea. În timpul zilei, dacă nu aveam nimic de lucru, ieșeam afară și mă rugam, iar când mă întorceam acasă, aveam deja o comandă. Volumul meu de muncă a crescut încetul cu încetul. În iunie 2010 câștigam destui bani să mă întrețin singură din nou. În aceeași perioadă, Dumnezeu m-a ajutat să-mi vând casa.
Știam că Doyle se roagă pentru mine, iar familia mea se ruga și ea pentru mine. Îi mulțumesc lui Dumnezeu pentru Doyle Davidson și sora mea, Kathy Wells; fără rugăciunile lor nu aș fi ieșit niciodată din această situație. Doyle a zis mereu că a rătăci în păcat este mult mai ușor decât drumul de întoarcere. Sunt de acord….
Dumnezeu să vă binecuvânteze,
Dianna
The Road Coming Back
In the beginning of 2002, my divorce was final, and at that time I became offended at God. I just started my own business and was working a maximum of 12 hours a day. Over the next few years, I became more and more offended at God and it eventually drove me out of the church.
By the end of 2006, in my disobedience I stopped attending completely. From then on I worked, played, and got deeper and deeper into sin. Around 2008, the appraisal industry changed how orders were made, so that meant my clientele was dried up. In the middle of March of 2008, my lender sent a letter stating I was behind on my property taxes, over $15,000+ (the lender never informed me that they were not included in my mortgage payment). A few months later they sent another letter stating that they rolled it into the loan. The payment increased approximately $800 more a month, and due to a lack of business coming in, I was unable to make the payments.
I lived in the house until the middle of 2010, without making a single payment. The homeowners association tried to foreclose on the house, but it turned out they had the wrong legal description, so they couldn’t get it done. I thank God that even in my rebellion he never let the bank foreclose on my loan. The latter part of 2008, I remember laying in my living room crying out to God, to deliver me out of this situation; and I prayed that way for several months.
The first time I returned to Water of Life, was for Terry Mai’s funeral. As I sat there the spirit of God rested on me, I felt like I had come home from a long journey, I knew then I could never leave again. At the time I returned back to Water of Life, I had very little work coming in. God instructed me to go out every night and pray for an hour in my car. This went on for about a year and during those nights out praying, God delivered me from spirits that I picked up in my rebellion. During the day if I had no work, I would go out and pray and when I returned home, I would have an order. Gradually my worked increased. In June of 2010 I was making enough money to support myself again. In the same period of time, the Lord sold my house.
I know that Doyle was praying for me, my family was praying for me also. I thank God for Doyle Davidson and my sister Kathy Wells, without their prayers, I would have never gotten out. Doyle has always said, going out into sin is a lot easier than the road coming back. I agree…
God bless,
Dianna
