Time To Shine Orisel Jiménez

Matthew 24-30, 36-43, 44-50; Romans 8:29-30

It is a privilege to know that we are predestined. God has selected his children who will enter the kingdom of heaven. For that reason, we ought to share the treasure of the word, leave everything behind for it, and also share it with everyone we encounter, for we can't decipher the tare from the wheat from our horizontal view.


So, today, I encourage you to share the gospel with someone and leave everything behind to follow God's kingdom.

Matthew 12:22-28; Isaiah 38:1; 1 Corinthians 14:33


In the following verses, Jesus speaks about how he was able to cast out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit of God. He explains that if he had cast out a demon by the power of Beelzebul, it would create a divided kingdom, as it would mean that Satan's kingdom is divided against itself.

We can apply this principle to our own lives. Our homes, businesses, countries, and relationships must be united in purpose. Any division or conflict within them can lead to collapse or failure. Just as in civil wars, alignment with God's truth brings strength and restoration. Therefore, it's important for our homes to align with what is true and with the Spirit of God, who has the power to cast out demons, heal the sick, and perform miracles.

Today, I suggest and remind myself to actively pray for our divided homes, businesses, countries, and relationships. We should ask God, through Jesus, to cast out the forces that oppose what is good and holy. Prayer is our tool for aligning with God's truth and seeking His intervention.

Matthew 11:1-30; Malachi 3:1; Isaiah 40:3; Psalm 4:8

In this chapter, Jesus confirms to John the Baptist and his disciples that Jesus was the one for whom he prepared the way. John was the messenger spoken about in the Old Testament.

Jesus provides peace and safety for his followers. His yoke is also easy. By yoke, he means our work for Him here on this earth, for His word is easy to share, and some principles are easy to apply daily.

Today, let us not be entangled in the rat race of overworking to share the gospel. Instead, let us share it from the depths of our hearts, with a peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), which only He can bestow when we find solace in Him. In doing so, we will not only experience the benefits in this life but also in the life to come.

Matthew 10: 1-2, 5, 8, 13, 18-20, 26-28, 37-38; Romans 1:16

In this chapter, Jesus, in His wisdom, called the apostles from various walks of life, demonstrating that His message is for everyone, but initially for the Jews. He instructed them to go out and preach what they had seen done through Him, showing them what can be achieved when we have Him in our lives. He will provide all that we need, whether earthly things or spiritual strength and boldness to proclaim Him, even when being judged. Today, I encourage you and me to proclaim the gospel without fear, for He will bless you and the people receiving the message. Moreover, you will be honored by Jesus in the presence of His Father.

Matthew 9:1-38; Psalm 103:3; Hosea 6:6; Ephesians 2:16


In this chapter, we learn about how Jesus first forgave and then healed, as he saw the great faith people had in him. Jesus wants us to be well internally before we can be well physically.

Jesus recognized the faith people had in him and responded with forgiveness and healing. This highlights the importance of faith in our relationship with him. He values our faith and trust in him more than any physical sacrifice, as it is the first step towards compassion and loyalty.

Let's place our faith in Him, as He is the only one with the power to heal and restore our health. More importantly, He alone has the power to forgive sins, as it was His mission to redeem us and reconcile us back to the Father when He obeyed Him and died on the cross.

Matthew 8:1-34; Mark 1:44-45; Leviticus 14:4, 10 & 12; Psalm 89:8-9.


In this chapter, Jesus continues his public work by healing and casting out demons. He demonstrates his might and deity, and even the demons recognize him as the Son of God.
Jesus has the power in his tongue and hands to heal and restore. He allowed Gentiles and Jews alike to come to him without reproach to be healed.
In today's terms, we are called to invoke the name of the Lord for healing. Though he resides in Heaven, his power to work miracles in this world is channeled through the Holy Spirit, our Counselor and Helper. Whether you find yourself in a sickbed, in prison, or at home, he is capable of performing his wonderful work.
