Believe the promises of the Lord

* Luís Alberto Alves

Meditate on verse 14 of chapter 18 of Genesis when God says the famous phrase: "Is there impossible for God"? Today many Christians cast doubt on the promises of the Lord. Imagine that he is a liar.

Let us analyze the situation Sara, Abraham's wife. With over 90 years or more went over his head to get pregnant and gain a son, Isaac. But the thoughts of the Lord does not look like ours, contaminated by uncertainty.

She bore Isaac, a perfect boy, born without any disease. And it came Jacob, which came the 12 tribes of Israel and that many of us are descendants. The Lord has fulfilled what he had promised to Abraham, that would be the father of multitudes.

Even in difficult times to continue believing in the promises of Jesus Christ. Especially at the time when the sea was too angry and try to sink your boat. Stay excited. God will keep fighting on his side to His name be exalted and glorified.

Love your enemy

* Luís Alberto Alves

That's it! Love your enemy. The person used by the devil to throw you down, wish you the worst. That throws every day, thoughts of defeat, of frustration, sickness, failure in love life, spiritual, financial, ministerial student on you.

The neighbor who never swallowed him. Speaks ill of you for all. Always tries to do his skull, about to pick up their mail Post and throw away. The co-worker who does not tire of talking badly you for leadership, recommending your dismissal.

His ex-wife or ex-husband, who became a hate well and do not measure efforts to see it in ruin, downhole begging on the streets, with his confused mind and body covered diseases, without a cent in the current account.

Do not measure efforts cry unto the Lord, that these lives may have real encounter with Jesus Christ and be free of these indecent proposals of darkness. When you go to pray for your enemies, preferably the worst, your life will take off completely.

We will be born again

* Luís Alberto Alves

In order to see the glory of God we must be born again. But who is willing to drop the old practices and embrace the commitment of the Lord. For many Christians it is better to stay in the old man, full of sin and completely dirty, devoid of the grace of the Lord.

When it comes to intellectuals, the problem is serious. Not admit stop inherited dogmas side of the old creature of the time. They question the wisdom of Jesus Christ. Worse: try to intellectualize faith. Something impossible. It appears when the discussion and some decide to leave the presence of God.

Being born again is not easy. It's definitive break with the past of sadness and pain. It seems the old love relationship, destroyed by several factors. Some men and women can put a stone on top and touch the boat forward in the sea of ​​life. Others choose to stay in that port.

We need to delete the old spots, the heartbreak, professional, financial and even ministers. Look ahead and keep moving to Paradise. Only this way we can enjoy eternal happiness with Jesus Christ to. Old creature without being born again does not enter into Heaven.

Lack of commitment to God

* Luís Alberto Alves

Unsurprisingly in any Christian church the lack of evangelical commitment to God. The wave is the pew, as in the film, in a similar activity to leisure. A presence, to show the new clothes, the newly purchased car or even the latest passion.

Few go to worship deeply interested in knowing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The proposal is to try to get some benefit, financial preference. Nothing else. If the Word of that day was heavy, then they discard the parking lot and run to the dishes of the world.

Take positions in the Army of the Lord is unthinkable. Or to serve as a worker, there at the door receiving the brothers or directing people to find a particular book in the Bible. Business is sitting eating food provided by the pastor.

The harvest is plentiful and lacking reapers. This lack of commitment overwhelms who embraced fully the Gospel. It is at this time that a person needs to perform various tasks and on top of taking care of yourself, because in this case the Lord will be ahead of the process. For when we care about your work, He takes care of us.

Old wineskin difference to new wineskin

* Luís Alberto Alves

Within the evangelical churches there are old wineskins members than new wineskins. Worse: the first do not wish to change. They prefer to remain in the filth of which heard the words of deliverance of Jesus Christ. Go to the meetings only to be present.

They refuse to cut the roots of the dark past, when they were held hostage by evil spirits. They are afraid to dive into the arms of the Lord. Doubt that Jesus Christ can not offer good conditions to enjoy a life full of his calm and prosperity.

Unaware that only the new wineskin will be honored to enter Heaven. Sitting at the table of the King and remain there for eternity. This is the reason for the existence of both Christian churches failed. They were not born again, still in the belly of sin.

Be wineskin again my brothers. You will see God work intensely in your lives from that step of faith. Do it. Let go of the old wineskin for the wine sent by the Lord fill you and definitely you are a new creature. old wineskin is the past of darkness and deserves to be forgotten.

Church of Jesus Christ hospital, no court of law

* Luis Alberto Alves

How many spiritual patients are in the world? Billion! Some of them do not know the Word of God that liberates, restores and gives new life, full of the Holy Spirit's presence and anointing that the Lord pours out of the high heavens, making us completely.

The emergency room to cure these diseases is known as a Christian church. The patient gets destroyed, even thinking of taking his own life that no longer supports the suffering and thinks that death will give you rest. On the contrary it will bring more headaches in the abyss.

However, many leaders of the Gospel transformed the evangelical church inquisitor in court of law. The prostitute is still treated the same way as before. It is judged at all times. Sin is never forgotten. People who consider themselves holier than God.

It is time to allow the churches to continue operating as hospitals to cure the ills of the soul. The great trial court will be commanded by the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. ​​The Lord alone has the power to judge. He is the eternal judge. As for you, just be a shepherd.

Have you forgotten to live in Heaven?

* Luis Alberto Alves

We live so concerned about our routine that we forget salvation. The business is to make money, status, and look good in the photo. It's like the inmate decorating the own cell, buried the dream of one day winning the freedom and out of that world of grids.

However, our mind works in order to stay in this chain called Earth, where we are just passengers. Interesting that the Lord's promises of inheritance of eternal life in heaven, at his side, are soon forgotten. It is when we begin to cool in the faith.

God, the great teacher, knew that this would happen. The race of salvation continues, but many have only to figuration. Do not look for tape arrival. The concern is to look around and look for explanations that only Jesus Christ can give.

My brothers in Christ Jesus, never let you forget the eternal heavenly home. The place is wonderful and we will be free of all the problems that plague us daily. There is no place for anything negative. Just love the Lord, who is worthy of all praise and honor.

Because people turn to evil, instead of seeking God?

* Luis Alberto Alves

What is the reason for people to resort to evil in seeking solutions rather than seek the help of Jesus Christ? Every day witchcraft temples in various regions of the world are filled with eager desperate to solve their problems.

Some offer to the life of newborn children to achieve success or even have money in abundance. They do not think too much to take this crazy decision. Rushed, leave aside the wise counsel of Jesus Christ. In the opinion of these people, God is too slow in making decisions.

Unfortunately the rush in search of peace, lead thousands of men and women to dive deep into the sea of ​​evil, which has over calm and clear waters, but just below hides dirt and holes through which souls will be swallowed up into the hell.

Only Jesus Christ is the assurance of eternal life. He has the solution to our problems. No matter the size of them. The Lord solves everything, always in the best possible way, without intent to harm his servants. However, we must wait with meekness. Few can do so.

The importance of trusting in the Lord's promises

* Luís Alberto Alves

It's good to believe in promises? Yes! Especially when they depart from Jesus Christ. But how many people are patient to wait for the Lord's move? Few!. Nowadays, people like quick answers. Imagine God a great magician satisfying our needs.

No one likes to obey, only to receive the gifts. Impatience is the evil of this century. Within the churches, most of the brothers is intolerant. They think that God is confectioner. Pray today and tomorrow the blessing already came down from heaven for human satisfaction.

They do not meditate that Jesus Christ is true. Never failed in their promises, be of any nature. He opened his mouth and spoke deeply in your heart, you can expect will come, especially at the time when you think that everything is over and the solution plunged again in the mud.

The big secret is knowing how to wait. Unfortunately few can maintain this high quality. Become agitated by. To come to distrust God. Angered threaten to resort to the enemy, to the ego get satiated. If you are in this exclusive club, ask God to comfort you and give you back the confidence.

Visible signs of the Lord's Day

* Luís Alberto Alves

People care about everything; least for the dreaded day of the Lord. Weekend is used for fun: drink, dance, make small talk, traveling without need to worry about the crap written on social networks and even ignore our family.

Many Christians do not pay attention to the dreaded signs of the Lord's Day. Jesus Christ warned us in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 24 in front of what would occur on this planet anticipation of his glorious return. But the same children rebel, everything was thrown into oblivion, but God.

Observe hurricanes, increasingly violent, snow storms, intensity increasing every year, the time claiming lives and destroying everything in its path, violence gaining routine status. Yet the signs are ignored.

How many Christians are prepared for the Sabbath? Few! Most will take great fright when faced with the Lion of the Tribe Judah. ​​On this day there will be no time for excuses. Just hearing the sentence, go to glory or sink into the abyss, eternal abode of Satan and his demons.

God in a box

* Luis Alberto Alves

Today we put God in a box. Our hypocrisy the limits when he does not know the word impossible. The disbelief of the world make people lose faith in the Lord. They begin to bet on the own arm effort to solve problems that only Jesus is able to solve.

A preppy distrusting the power of the Creator. Some even say that Jesus can anything but help you get into college of your dreams. When I hear someone tell me that, I feel like running to the bathroom and throw up. How can think this way.

barren women relying on sophisticated treatments of large laboratories to get pregnant. Do not put the question to the Lord. They say miracles the Lord was in the past, not today. Believing in this case, it is to sign paper crazy.

Christian decided by God in a small box and think so He will hear them. By ignoring the Bible, they forget that our God is in all places at once and knows our thoughts before even entering our minds. It is time to wake up people of God.

When a Christian is globalization victim

* Luís Alberto Alves

Globalized world. circulating information quickly. Good or bad. Everything runs quickly. weak minds fall into the first blow. Mentes strong filter know right from wrong. They are not victims of illusion. Adults or young people, none of them escape this dangerous trap.

Some pseudo intellectuals put more fuel to the fire by saying that the Word of God written in the Old and New Testament are false. According to them, it's stupid to believe in an outdated book, stuffed rules in full desintonia with the modern world.

Discuss with weeds Wheat place is a waste of time. They never understand God's wisdom. Are hostages of the enemy and not get tired of doing his game. Disqualify the Bible because it is a holy book where the Lord used several men to transcribe his commandments.

Christian can not, under any circumstances, make this game of darkness. The interest of these tenants is hell disqualify the commandments of the Lord. The right in their view is wrong. The laws of Jesus Christ are crazy for this abandoned part of society. Unfortunately.

You are a secret agent of the Gospel of Christ?

* Luís Alberto Alves

People find time to talk about anything but the love of Jesus Christ. Some label as square attitude address this issue. Is not cool. Rather spend time with nonsense, placing first something that does not edify, only collaborate to destruction and deviation from the right path.

Colleges, ideal for this kind of Christian is to act like secret agent. Witness the circus catch fire and remain silent. Even when the problem is spiritual. They prefer anonymity. When it is time for socializing, and the tide is good, there appear, but without going into the controversy.

Within the churches are fervent. They scream hallelujah, jump, roll their eyes and are keen to be seen by all and especially by the pastor. Mistaken for a while, but not all the time. The hypocritical cover logo is removed from the body covered by sin. They are darkness and when confronted by the light, they lose strength.

Jesus Christ instructed us to be his witnesses everywhere. And preach the gospel to every creature. He did not ask for any servant was his secret agent. But it seems that today most of the Christian prefers to walk hidden, away from the Word of the Lord. Just figuring as spectators. Careful, you might be signaling the way to hell. Ali has many secret agents of faith.

Woe to the man for whom the scandal cometh

* Luís Alberto Alves

Woe to the man for whom the scandal cometh. You would be better tie a stone around his neck and jump into the sea. Nobody wants to go through that situation expose it to ridicule. But when society's rules are not obeyed, this path is opened and many will walk it.

Jesus Christ clearly said that man would reap the fruits of their crops. Sooner or later, the result appears. So when we do something good or bad. It's inevitable. The rules of the destination. Or the manifestation of the law of action and reaction.

Today people are concerned to quickly achieve success. No matter the means. It ends. Whether in politics, music, sport or even as a worker. It is when they sell their souls to the devil to get close to the false glare of the sun, promised by the forces of evil.

Man can not escape the powerful hands of the Lord. The day of reckoning arrives. The human perspective can take. Illusion. God has control of time. This time hitting regret not having obeyed Jesus Christ. When involved in a scandal this is realized, belatedly.

Good for man, bad for God

* Luís Alberto Alves

How many decisions we make in life without consulting God? We put in our mind and dive head. The invoice price will appear in the future. There will regret. However, it is too late to reverse the situation. It is like water passing under the bridge: does not return.

God in His infinite mercy warns us about it. One part to the error of their own accord. In proverbs, the Lord says that "There are ways that the man is good, but for God is deep." Unfortunately many Christians like to meditate on the Word.

The young, not all hate to hear advice from parents. Tacham of square attitude. They think owners of the world. In an act of defiance, some leave home and experience the bitter lessons taught by the teacher life, closely watched by the auxiliary time.

We need to understand that Jesus Christ never want our bad. He is concerned that their children may have life in abundance. Through his Gospel shows how good it is to be wise. There are decisions that can ruin a life forever. Think about it!

We have Sodom and Gomorrah today?

Luís Alberto Alves

The world has evolved. Today's technology allows man to perform impossible tasks for 40 years. The cell phone is a street with it functioning as GPS, has calculator, camcorder and various devices to keep the well-informed man in a small box, filled with tiny pieces.

The technology is present in the car market, where vehicles are computerized, meshing gears alone and performing other tasks to keep the driver rested. Inside the house the washing machines is another example of progress and even electric pans to cook.

Confirms the words of the Lord said to the prophet Daniel, that wisdom would multiply in the end times. On the other hand, the sinful relations, sin and disrespect God also increased. As in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Today the wrong in all directions, right and vice versa. The sexual life became an object of consumption. Intimate relationships are trivialized. Men and women have perverted their roles as written in Romans 1. The fear of Jesus Christ is considered square attitude, like in the days of peak of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Are you a member or disciple of the Lord?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Be honest: you are a member or a disciple of the Lord? If included in the first category is necessary to review their concepts. Members do not enter the Heaven. For a simple reason: they disobeyed the orders of Jesus Christ when He said we should go to the ends of the earth to preach the Gospel to every creature and make disciples!

As we are at the time of religious commercialism. Most Christians think only of getting rich. Few want to pick up the plow and look forward. They are in the church while everything goes in peace, come the first signs of struggle, jump the boat. Some return to the garbage where one day Jesus took them.

The Disciple is different. Even in turbulent times remains focused on the Lord. Ignores the difficulties. You know that they are temporary. After the night, the sun rises radiant the next day. Rejoices in winning souls for the Kingdom of God, as must every person who accepts Jesus Christ as savior eternal. Unfortunately the reality is different.

Member has no commitment to the bride of Christ. It's like mercenary. Are you interested only in the sheep wool. The church for him is the same shopping center or trendy restaurant. Many go to show the new car or speak who traveled to a country on holiday or even to show the new iPhone 6 you bought. You need to choose which team will play.
