Pero uno de los mayores peligros en la vida cristiana es lo que yo llamo \u201cel entusiasmo carente de iluminaci\u00f3n\u201d; que es el entusiasmo por las cosas de Dios, pero no instruido de la manera como Dios opera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Recuerdo que me invitaron a hablar en una conferencia de misiones juveniles en Per\u00fa, a hacerles un desaf\u00edo, todo muy bien hasta el \u00faltimo d\u00eda, El domingo, al cierre de mi mensaje, me pidieron invitar a los j\u00f3venes a comprometerse en misiones y campos misioneros en el mundo. Les aseguro que esto fue algo que yo no pude hacer, ya que de haberlo hecho mi conciencia no hubiera estado tranquila. Podemos invitar a las personas a que se comprometan con Dios, pero no en \u00e1reas espec\u00edficas, en las cuales probablemente, Dios no les ha hecho un llamado. Una vez estamos comprometidos con Dios, \u00c9l se comprometer\u00e1 a llevar a cabo a trav\u00e9s de nosotros todo lo que \u00c9l mismo nos ha llamado a hacer, en la medida que nosotros se lo permitamos. Si es el campo de las misiones, se abrir\u00e1n las puertas correctas y Dios enviar\u00e1 las personas. Si no es as\u00ed, lo peor que podemos hacer es pedirle a alguien se comprometa en algo que puede no ser el llamado de Dios para su vida.<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de pasar un fin de semana exponiendo las grandes necesidades de este mundo y todos los desaf\u00edos que implica servir en las misiones, es l\u00f3gico pensar que estos j\u00f3venes estuvieran particularmente vulnerables. Yo he estado en suficientes campos misioneros en diferentes lugares para saber que uno de los mayores problemas que existe, es que hay muchas personas que no deber\u00eda estar all\u00ed; personas buenas y sinceras, pero que Dios nunca los llam\u00f3 a misiones, ni los llev\u00f3 all\u00ed. Es muy f\u00e1cil para cualquier persona que tenga capacidad y buen coraz\u00f3n, decir: \u201cS\u00ed, me voy a las misiones\u201d. No es nuestra funci\u00f3n conducir a las personas a c\u00f3mo deber\u00edan servir a Dios, sino debemos llevarlos a una relaci\u00f3n con \u00c9l, y \u00c9l ser\u00e1 quien gu\u00ede sus caminos y los lleve a donde \u00c9l haya planeado; debemos siempre confiar en el liderazgo de Dios en nuestras vidas.<\/p>\n<p>Dios busca personas que est\u00e9n dispuestas a servirlo, en el hogar, en el trabajo, en el mundo de los negocios, en el gobierno, en las calles, en los hospitales, en las escuelas, personas ocupadas no ociosas y todo cristiano es igualmente llamado por Dios para servirlo. Dios nos conoce mejor que lo que nosotros nos conocemos a nosotros mismos, y debemos dejar que \u00c9l sea el orquestador. Por medio de una relaci\u00f3n con \u00c9l, no solamente nos llevar\u00e1 en la direcci\u00f3n que \u00c9l nos ha llamado, sino que nos equipar\u00e1 y nos dar\u00e1 el poder para hacerlo. 1 Tesalonicenses 5:24 dice: \u201cEl que los llama es fiel, y as\u00ed lo har\u00e1.\u201d Bien sea en una misi\u00f3n local o en un campo misionero en el extranjero, ser\u00e1 la obra de Dios y podemos estar seguros que ser\u00e1 algo absolutamente maravilloso.<\/p>\n<p>ORACI\u00d3N: Amado Se\u00f1or Jes\u00fas, gracias por eres T\u00fa quien dirige mi vida. Ay\u00fadame a discernir Tu voz y a seguir Tu direcci\u00f3n en lo que me llames a hacer.<br \/>\nPARA REFLEXIONAR: \u00bfEstoy dej\u00e1ndome guiar por Dios en lo que \u00c9l me ha llamado a hacer?<\/p>\n<p>CALL WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM<br \/>\nFirday January 19, 2018<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">Daniel 11-12 | Judas<br \/>\n\u00abFor as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.\u00bb &#8211; Isaiah 55: 9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We live in a world full of great needs, which is especially evident when we look at the sick and impoverished countries, which are usually involved in internal wars heartbreaking. Who would not move to help if I could do it? But one of the biggest dangers in the Christian life is what I call \u00abunenlightened enthusiasm\u00bb; it is the enthusiasm for the things of God, but not instructed how God operates.<\/p>\n<p>I remember that I was invited to speak at a youth conference in Peru missions, to make a challenge, everything very well until the last day, Sunday, at the end of my message, I was asked to invite young people to engage in missions and mission fields in the world. I assure you that this was something I could do, since I did my conscience had not been quiet. We can invite people to engage with God, but not in specific areas, which probably made them God has not called. Once we are committed to God, He will undertake to carry out through us all that He himself has called us to do, as we let them. If the field missions, the right doors will open and God will send people. If not, the worst we can do is ask someone to engage in something that may not be the call of God for your life.<\/p>\n<p>After spending a weekend exposing the great needs of this world and all the challenges of serving in missions, it is logical that these young people were particularly vulnerable. I&#8217;ve been in enough mission fields in different places to know that one of the biggest problems that exists is that there are many people who should not be there; good and sincere people, but God never called to missions, and brought them there. It is very easy for anyone who has ability and good heart, saying: \u00abYes, I go to the missions.\u00bb It is not our role to lead people how they should serve God, but we must bring to a relationship with Him, and He will be the one to lead his ways and take you where he has planned; we must always rely on the leadership of God in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>God seeks people who are willing to serve, at home, at work, in the world of business, in government, in the streets, in hospitals, in schools, persons employed not idle and every Christian is also called by God to serve. God knows us better than we know ourselves, and we should let him be the orchestrator. Through a relationship with Him, we not only take in the direction that He has called us, but we equip and give us the power to do so. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 says, \u00abHe who calls you is faithful and he will do it.\u00bb Whether at a local mission or a mission field abroad, will be the work of God and we can be sure it will be something absolutely wonderful .<\/p>\n<p>PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for You who directs my life.
