Delivery your ways to the Lord, trust also in Him and He will do

* Luis Alberto Alves

This verse of Psalm 37 is known. Especially in moments of despair, when we seek way out of a terrible problem. Imagine you with a hospitalized relative ICU (Intensive Care Unit), disillusioned by Medicine. How to trust God at this sensitive time?

It's difficult. But we must have faith. But few actually deliver the ways of the Lord. Leave in God's hands the problems impossible to solve for our forces. Man has the habit of thinking that can straighten out the warped by spiritual forces beyond our control.

Do not understand the workings of the spirit world. In the famous chapter 6 of the Letter to the Ephesians, Jesus makes clear, through Paul, the fight on this earth is not against people, but evil inhabitants of the celestial spheres spirits. This place is known by God.

We need to deliver all the problems, preferably the most terrible in the hands of Jesus Christ. He knows the right way to solve them. Man is limited. God is unlimited. Know the word impossible. When Christians learn to put in the hands of the Lord our pineapples, He will see the great move of God in life.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from him

* Luis Alberto Alves

Children are blessings of the Lord in our lives. I never had any doubts. It feels good to be loved by them. The affection of a son or daughter is something great. Especially when you realize that we are sad and pray for us. It's beautiful. There is no money to pay for this gesture.

 In these times, near the end announced by Jesus, several couples have lost the rudder in educating children. Permit from a young age all kinds of nonsense. Accept blackmail and child is an expert in this. Gives easily to any collection.

Pass over the famous counsel of God, through 22/6 Proverbs: "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from him. " Prefers to give wings to the whims and pay high price in the future.

The best parents are those who say the word no several times. God works well with us. Not everything we ask in prayer, the Lord gives us. He does it for the sake of their children and servants. Why do not we repeat the gesture Him?

 Education is not just to satisfy the whims of children, are children, teenagers or young people. It should be used as preparation towards life. Here outside the house, the world is expert slammed the door in the face of many. Not really life loses its beauty. Brothers and servants of Jesus Christ educate their children based on sweets and correct word in Proverbs 22/6.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ

* Luis Alberto Alves

 How many people run behind the blessings. Some even pray asking God to bless them. Sadder still they are Christians, but do not read the Bible. If they did this noble task, the duty of every servant obedient to the Lord, would not repeat this request.

 It is the Word of God in Ephesians, 1/3, who says: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." If He has placed in our hands the victories which the reason for insisting so much on getting them?

Despite the advancement in technology, particularly in the IT area, where you can read the Word of Jesus Christ, in a cell, the advice and warnings of our great master continuing in the mailbox of our mind, forgotten.

They have similar behavior to preppy who entered college as dreamed, but forgot to do the registration. I keep asking the Lord for help to win this war. Worse than defeat is never take possession of victory. Most of the time she is in your hands.

"Go quickly to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it; for their wickedness is come up before my presence"

* Luis Alberto Alves

 God's message is clear: he asked Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach his word there. People mean. He loved abusing their victims, including practicing death by mulching or chopping off his neck.

  Like every man, endowed with judgment, Jonas trembled at the base to hear the message of the Lord. He preferred to take the ship and move towards another city. Inwardly I wanted to throw away this pineapple. In his mind, the recommendation of God serve to settle your life.

Sometimes we think that our great God desires the ruin of his servants. By human logic is crazy preach the Gospel in a place where proliferates vanity and meanness. After all, everyone is lost. It is raining in the wet. Cast pearls before swine.

 For each servant, Jesus Christ set aside a Nineveh. It can be co-workers, school, college, neighbors or even your relatives. Lost people, essence of evil and far from God's love.

 In these times, when the Holy Spirit touches deep into our hearts to talk about the deep love of God and bring light to those lost in the darkness, we act like Jonas. We took another ship, this case different from the way indicated by the Lord, to shirk responsibility. My brothers very meditate in Jonah, chapter 1, verse 2.

"Worship in the Spirit on all occasions with all prayer and supplication ..."

* Luis Alberto Alves

 Curious as currently there are few Christians with life marked by prayer. They talk a lot, cite several Bible verses, but speak little before the Lord. Of course, prefer the deceitful glare of the world, full of sin, as Jesus said, that the world is evil.

When I read Paul's letter to the Ephesians, 6/18, which is highlighted: "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all prayer and supplication; with this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. " But how many people practice this orientation of Jesus Christ?

The days are evil. We should not waste time on nonsense, nitpicking. We must persevere in prayer. Means proceed in daily conversation with the Lord. Not just asking, but interceding for the lives prey in the hands of the wicked.

Curious of this story is that several members of the Christian churches believe that pastors or pastors are supermen or superwomen. They are exempt from prayers. Pure mistake. We need daily prayers, to bear carrying our cross.

Lord's servants should never neglect. The apostle Paul stresses this important letter, "Pray in the Spirit on all occasions ..." In other words, we must be alert at all times. Never let your guard down. Even in thinking we need to keep in tune with the heavens. Because from there comes our help, through Jesus Christ.

And he said: "Fear not; because most are those who are with us than those who are with them. "

* Luis Alberto Alves

 On several occasions we were afraid in front of a big problem. We say we trust in God, but when all is well. At the time of trouble, our faith falters. The good Christian should not do so. It is when we forget the famous passage in 2 Kings 06.16: And he said, "Fear not; because most are those who are with us than those who are with them. "

 The Lord protects his servants. No matter the severity of the situation. He is on our side, preventing the evil play in the hole, sowing destruction. But I recognize the difficulty of many fellow Christians to falter before the rough seas rising.

Even with several years of gospel, Christians forget that "The just shall live by faith." It is time to believe in something yet unseen before his eyes. What is still a dream. In these moments to think about quitting, set aside and keep in failure.

 That's not how God likes the attitude of a true servant. You have to raise your head, look ahead and keep on marching, even under fatigue discouragement and apathy. We must maintain confidence in the Lord and believe to receive the blessing which he had promised.

The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want

*Luís Alberto Alves

This passage is famous. Even for those who are not Christian. All repeat that "The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want," as it is written in Psalm 23. But how many know the importance of having God as a pastor? Many imagine Him to be a demented old, without any discernment, accepting all kinds of lame excuse to justify the mistake.

 The shepherd looks after the sheep and also their correction. When out of the way, goes on a quest to bring it to where you started. It's not easy. Especially when the sheep are people. Human beings are complicated. Hates correction. Prefer bad way to good.

 God as our supreme shepherd, cares for our lives. Do you know what is best for us. Never wrong. In sentimental terms thoroughly understands our hearts, highly corrupt. How many no longer entered in unsuccessful relationships for ignoring the advice of the Lord?

 Many years ago I went through that experience to guide her, saying that the person chosen to stand beside him would cause sadness. Using the Word of God asked him to reflect on the famous passage from Isaiah 55: 8/10, when it is said that "God's thoughts are higher than ours .."


 I did not hear. He left the church. Later he attended a cult. In the arms of a baby of about 2 years. I knew suffered various husband's aggression, involved in illegal practices. She did not dare look at my face. She came out crying that night. I never saw her again. You are prepared for God to be their pastor in all my brother?

Better the end of a thing than the beginning thereof ....

* Luis Alberto Alves

How often we miss certain stages of our lives. We traveled in time and recall the time of adolescence, the dances, the daily football because has not worked, the first girlfriends or boyfriends. By fraction of a second we are betrayed to think that we were happy.

 Then comes the young, the job market, college, the beginning of the great battle begins and only come to an end after retirement, already married with children and certainty of accomplishment, of caught the good fight.

 In this regard, the evil is smart. It leads us to think only in small positive percentage, leaving hidden suffering, the sadness of the time we lived in spiritual poverty, oppression of darkness, the disappointments of love relationships and professional failures.

 In this section you enter the strong word of the Lord from the book of Ecclesiastes 7/8: "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: the patient is better than the proud in spirit. " The end of our life will be rewarding, if we continue faithful to Jesus Christ. It is the entrance to stay forever in Heaven with the Lord.

 But many Christians continue to feel nostalgia for the past. From the time of slaves in the hands of Satan. They are attached to the fallen crumbs from their table filthy, forgetting the current banquet given by the Lord. When arrested in the beginning of things, lack vision to see the future full of glory reserved by God to his servants. Take action: stop looking back and fix your eyes forward.

".... They fly like eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, walk and not grow weary"

Luis Alberto Alves

 Do you happen to know what is to fly like the eagles? Stay on high ground and from above contemplate the world down here, choose the best place to land and come out victorious? It is as it is written in Isaiah 40/31: "But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they fly like eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, walk and not grow weary."

 We commit our lives to Jesus Christ and believe in Him with all our hearts, we must never let fear invade our mind trying to bury fed dreams long ago. God used the prophet Isaiah to tell you that you my brother or sister needs to have the behavior of eagles as an example.

It is a grand and proud bird. Does not conform to feed crumbs. Sometimes search the food away from the nest. It's smart to dive into the river or sea to catch the fish and bring home. Despises difficulty. View the distant target. On the way you will braiding strategies on how to butcher it. Rapidly.

 How many people are shaped to act equal chickens, pecking around all day in the yard in search of debris to fill the crop. Or can fly as soon falls. It is short-sighted. See with difficulty. It has many Christians around the world behaving this way.

 They are afraid to take the eagle posture, flying high, facing challenges and getting into the enemy's ground to win what belongs to you. They prefer to be similar to chickens. Never accept crumbs and look to a future full of victories in Christ Jesus. Give up the beautiful pair of eyes given by God to visualize away our achievements. Eagle is my brother in everything you do in life.

I am the vine, ye are the branches ...

* Luís Alberto Alves

"I am the vine and the branches vois, without me you can do nothing," John 15/5. How much wisdom in these words of Jesus Christ! Which branch can stay alive after being plucked from the tree? For a time he can resist, but the arrival of drought, lack of water will kill him. 

The same applies to the Christian away from Jesus. At the beginning everything will go smoothly. It appears the illusion that really came to enjoy life without the pew in church, daring and crazy drinking till you drop on the sidewalk, having sex with anyone, a clear sign of adultery. Anyway meat predominating in place of the Spirit.

 Far from the tree called Jesus Christ soon die in the dirt of sin. The empty again occupy the space lost by the beautiful and rich presence of the Lord in our lives. Drugs and drink will work as an escape valve to drive away the loneliness and sadness of defeats that will become routine.

 Even simple tasks will turn heavy bales. Even the simple act of working not get away from Christian the same affection as before. Soon forget the company where you earn a living. If you are married, the wife or husband goes to the streets in search of new and poisonous companies.

 Over time the green twig of old withered. The servant of the Lord, used to preach the gospel will gain as a company the emissaries of evil and to feel the hassle of making the dormitory streets. At this stage, the branch will be one step closer to fall into the fire and ashes. It is better to keep united the tree, which is Jesus Christ.

No one can serve two masters

* Luis Alberto Alves 

God's Word in Matthew 6:24 gospel is straightforward: "No one can serve two masters; Wow the one and hate the other. " Do you happen to know what the gentlemen to whom Jesus refers? 

Depending on the context it is long. For some it's working life. The work deserves attention at all. Until the family is left out: wife, husband, children, parents ... The world revolves around the company. 

Or during the weekend it work out of your mouth. Can be studies. Classes at college, graduate, the career extension. After rich curriculum accounts is synonymous with rising and of course more money added to the salary. 

Sometimes it's the pleasure offered by the world. One late sunny week, nothing better than taking drink on the beach or even at the bar, which has become a reference point in the social columns. Or even the eternal trips without ever leaving space reserved for the Lord. 

Another master of his way is the sexual life. Nothing to be stuck with someone forever. The business is change. Within short time to know and take the greater the bed number of attractive people. Life is short, not always the big break happens twice.

 In short, Jesus Christ made it clear in this parable that it is impossible to love him while the lentil dishes offered by darkness. There is no way to get the love of these opposing forces alike. Or our heart is Jesus Christ or Satan. The choice is up to you.

"They will be my treasured possession. I have mercy as a father has compassion on the child who obeys him "

* Luis Alberto Alves

 This text in the prophet Malachi's book reveals the love of God for your servants. People, regardless of age, sex, social status or color, which keep the commandments determined by the Lord, are met by him. "On the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts," They will be my treasured possession. I have mercy as a father has compassion on the child who obeys him, "Malachi 3/17.

 We humans, however faith in Jesus Christ, we become fearful of tomorrow. Within us we think that God can not act in time of need. To stay high and dry at crucial moments. Finally is the sinful nature of man speaking louder.

 For a few seconds we forget who spoke these words. He did not mind ever. Keeps his promises, no matter the situation or even time. However, the reason for humans to imagine that God will abandon it?

 The passage of time influence in making some decisions. One of them is unbelief. The adult is not sincere and pure like a child. Sees evil in any situation. Suspects to the blessings sent by the Lord. He thinks that soon will come the grip.

 Few people are unaware of the meaning of compassion (suffering from). God does not take pleasure in our suffering. Especially when we serve Him in heart. Rest assured, if you are going through great desert, do not be afraid. Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, is your side and help you win this battle, His name be glorified.

All things are lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial me

* Luis Alberto Alves

 Today in the valley all spiritual, various Christian denominations around the world have forgotten this famous passage from 1 Corinthians 06.12: "All things are lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial me." New converts, especially if you have current account full of money, is given the green light to sin.

 Jesus Christ is not and has never dictator. Left free will. Each person chooses to consider the best. Interestingly enter the right path. In this option, the chance of suffering is less. The Christian does not need to live recluse. It is in this world, but does not belong to this rotten mud this sphere.

 The problem is that propping earlier this famous word, some interpret be possible to make all sorts of nonsense. Forget to read the supplement. "Not everything is beneficial." For lack of discernment by many Christians are adopting route traced by darkness.

 We must never forget: "Evil comes wrapped in a pretty package." Nothing horrible, responsible for our spiritual and physical death seems bad image. Examples of this are the prostitutes. Usually in any region of the planet, all dress well, wear pleasant scents and have seductive beauty.

 It is on this track that Satan works well. Seeks to attract the intended victim through the eyes, using beautiful images. Without spiritual wisdom and wide living with Jesus Christ, illegal turns lawful and opens the road to perdition.

".... And what will be the sign of thy life and the end of the world?"

* Luis Alberto Alves 

Is celebrated this passage from chapter 24 of Matthew the Apostle gospel. Something that draws attention is when Jesus Christ says that false prophets will appear and deceive many. And how that word is currently serving. In several regions of the world is large number of evil deceiving the next using the name of God. In the Americas prosperity theology invaded the cities, like plague of flies filled the sky of ancient Egypt during the time of Pharaoh. 

Today Christianity certificate is to have current account stuffed with money, imported cars in the garage, beautiful woman in the role of wife and a job where you earn millions. Christian prayer without cash in his pocket and humble dwelling house without luxury items to serve as decoration, is considered leper in faith, in view of prosperity apostles. 

To comply with the Word of God this sad practice is going on. Wars in various parts of the world is another omen. Of course the death industry hopes that never come peace on earth. Ideally, each killing his neighbor, using the latest equipment. Analyzing the conflict in Syria, pistols, rifles and machine guns came out of existing industrial plants in the great powers.

 Few Christians pay attention to the details of the prophecies announced by Jesus Christ. Focus your eyes only on blessings, leaving in the background the warnings of the Lord as the day he would return. Act equal hungry on the table: think only of satiating the desire to eat. It is in this cat balaio who ignore the Lord never lied. All dialogue recorded by Matthew is taking place, sometimes at extremely high speed. 

Our concern with the daily affairs blind our eyes, diverting attention to trivial matters, taking the focus, every day, the fulfillment of the words of Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, which come like Jesus on the big day.

Headquarters holy because I am holy

* Luis Alberto Alves 

The Word of God is very concise: "Holy Headquarters, for I am holy," as reported 1 Peter 1:16. The big problem today, in relation to the gospel, is that few people follow this advice of Jesus Christ, as emphasized by the apostle Peter. 

 All men are limited and sinful. The problem is that many do not struggle to get out of the sea of ​​mud where the error is raw material. On the contrary, they are increasingly looking to dive into the dirt, without any remorse. 

 The strategy is to continue the deception, even though it represents the eternal death. Currently, most of the population circulates in social networks and it is possible there realize how much the lie settled in the Christian world. 

Within the churches people wear layers of holiness and out of them used clothing is prostitution, with various types of gods. Men and women, young or adult, adopt dangerous speech "nothing to do" and forget the sight of the Lord, which are everywhere.

Try to take the holiness of Jesus Christ is something face and out of fashion for many evangelicals. Some say that the Lord's grace redeems them from all sin. Yes, God's mercy keeps us from being decimated, but he says that in Christ we are new creatures. Who was drugged, that not more drogue, who was a thief, do not steal more and so on. 

Using these words as crutches, the Christian light sinks in the ways offered by darkness. When he realizes, it is far from good roads highlighted by the Lord. He returned to the rotten world, which he left to be a new creature. 

We must never forget that first taste of sin is sweet and seductive. Later it appears that the bitter taste of bile. At this late date, feet and hands are already tied and it is difficult to get back on track light. 
 It's like adultery.

 The man or woman engages in an extramarital relationship believing that eventually never discovered. For a while everything remains hidden until the bomb goes off. Dear Brothers never forget that Satan delights in the destruction and death of people, mostly Christians. 

 Unfortunately some evangelical churches, at the headquarters to raise money, adopt the diet preaching. They make a blind eye to the error of its members. The important thing is to let the stuffed current account of high amounts. For them, it is not worth to take the holiness of Jesus Christ.
