Call on the Lord always! 3

* Luís Alberto Alves

Times are difficult and do not think that improvements will occur. The situation will get worse, because the return of Jesus Christ is coming. Because of this, the evil one tries to disrupt the largest possible number of Christians weakened by the struggles.

Never give up your dreams. Pray! Meditate on the Word of the Lord. There is an answer to your questions. God does not deceive anyone. He promises, and he does. It is not like men, accustomed to lying. And concerned about financial life.

Regardless of the situation, call on the Lord. Maybe your problem is sentimental, marriage to divorce, children in drugs, incurable disease, homosexuality or unemployment. Does not matter. Open your lips and speak deeply with God.

Before you cry out to the Lord, ask Him to forgive the mistakes of your enemies, the people who have wanted your evil. Ask Jesus Christ to free you all. And acknowledge that you need God. Do not fall into the error of thinking that your strength overcomes the darkness. Only Jesus is capable of this.

We all depend on Jesus Christ. There is no super-Christian. Even those graduates in various universities of theology. We are needy of the Lord. Individualism has killed many servants of God. We fall into the error of thinking that we are powerful.

We need the Lord. It is through prayer that we communicate with God. Even those you find too simple. Jesus Christ does not need poetry in the form of a cry to hear our petitions. He knows our limitations.

If you find yourself weak, never forget that at this stage it is when we strengthen ourselves, because we remember God. We pray at any time, fast, go to vigil, read the Bible often, because we need help.

The sick patient is the same. Go take the medication and fulfill everything the doctor ordered. Even resting. The disease that God is expert in healing is that which punishes the soul. Only Jesus Christ is master of this kind of service.

Call on the Lord always!

Seek God at all times. Do not wait for the bad day to arrive and it comes to everyone. Never lower your guard and just cry out to Jesus Christ on the difficulty. Many only remember the Lord in the hour of pain, when they reinforce the prayers that should always be done.

But what is the reason for doing so? People imagine that they are able to face darkness with human weapons. The forces of the enemy can only suffer defeat when we ask for the intervention of Jesus Christ. The power of the heavens crushes any attack of the devil.

It's the church's fault, too. They do not encourage members to pray always. They only insist on empty preaching, similar to high-powered lectures. God said that "in anguish we are to cry unto Him, for His ears shall be opened."

Never waste my time my brother or sister. Wherever you are, if it is not possible, pray in thought, but never let the powerful weapon of prayer become rusty within you. It is through this instrument that you can break down barriers erected by the enemy.

Little love stories

* Luís Alberto Alves

I hope you like those six stories. They are so small you will only take a minute to read them.

1. One day the men of a village decided to pray for it to rain. On the day of prayer all the people gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella.
This is FAITH.

2. When you throw a baby in the air and he laughs, it's because he knows you'll get him again.
This is TRUST.

3. Every night we go to sleep without the guarantee that we will be alive the next morning, however, we put the alarm clock to wake up.
This is HOPE

4. We can make great plans for tomorrow, even if we do not know the future at all.
This is SECURITY

5. We see the suffering in the world and yet we get married and have children.
This is Love

6. There was an old man with the following written on his T-shirt: "I'm not 70, I'm 16 with 54 years of experience."
This is ATTITUDE

Live your life with faith, trust, hope, security, love and attitude !!!

Are you afraid of dying? 5

* Luís Alberto Alves

The goal of every Christian should always be eternity. Do not let the darkness take it from your heart. Live here on Earth, but think of Heaven. Visualize what it's like to stay in eternity. Find your relatives who served Jesus and the great prophets who left their texts in the Bible.
In no case change eternity for some scarce moments of peace in this world. This is not a Christian place. Ours is in the Heavens beside Jesus Christ. Where we will be sure that everything good will happen to us.
Rest your heart. Remove all distress from the path. Look at the target. Ask Jesus to have the strength to continue this march, sometimes painful, but that will lead you to the right place, not to deception.
Refuse every dish of lentil offered primarily, with a proposal of happiness, which could become a nightmare in the future. Stay focused on the promises of Jesus Christ. Do not trade your eternity for seconds offered by the devil.

Each day we try to postpone the encounter with God. In some religions, people try to know what the afterlife is like. There is peace there or everything is just staging. The neurosis is so much that the lack of faith takes us to the divan of the psychoanalyst.
We forget that Jesus Christ never lied. He promised that we will have eternal peace there. Without sorrow, hunger, sadness or any kind of suffering in this world. To avoid consumption, in Heaven there is no money, no thirst or hunger.
There it is a place of quiet, after the hard battle fought in this dark world, where we must kill a lion every day to continue alive. We encounter falsehood, lies and everything negative created by darkness.
In eternity we do not have to face the hard fighting of this evil-polluted planet. A place where people only think of themselves, ignoring their neighbor, even if he is their relative. Therefore, my brother and sister never never focus the Heavens.

The human being can adapt to various types of situations, including in bad places. Examples are the built houses on the banks of rivers and streams, where in floods everything is flooded. Even so, people remain there.
The passing of the years and far from Christ influence man to stop thinking about eternity. The business is getting involved with the meat business, especially prostitution and money. All in the name of pleasure, short-lived.
Vanity is another piece in this tragic play. When we are over the age of 30, we invest money to stay young, without getting fat or having wrinkles, how could we stop the advance of time. Some even live inside gymnastics gyms.
The goal is to try to keep the wheel of time from continuing to turn towards the fatal day. We sacrifice our appetite. In the name of the dictatorship of beauty, we begin to eat little, even if this provokes digestive diseases. The rule is to fight for the youth not to end.

It is in this madness that we immerse ourselves in the useless attempt to bar the impossible: die! Even within the church, our behavior is of someone who does not desire eternity. If I could, most would ask Jesus for some time here.
Imagine the prisoner, serving his sentence for many years, has become accustomed to that place. He decorated the cell, he knows everyone in that establishment, the rules to stay alive and even learned to taste the food served there.
Fear of returning to society. Make your way back to where you left. Remember that our spirit did not come out of nowhere, it came from the hands of the Lord and for Him we will return. When we do not know. But this day will come, just as the night comes after any day.
This prisoner is us here on Earth. We learn to like this dark world, where the evil one has the authority to commit his atrocities. Yet we think we live in the best place in the universe. Lie! Illusion!

Are you afraid of dying?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Death puts fear in anyone. Everyone is rich, poor, men or women, famous or anonymous, they feel shivers at this word. Nobody wants to die. If they could, they would remain forever in this world, even in pain.
The smart guys on duty take the breakthrough to offer heaven here on Earth. They work for the Christian to forget the advantages of eternal life alongside Jesus Christ. The business is to take advantage of the crumbs offered by the enemy and to leave God aside.
As macabre as it may seem, we must lose the fear of death. She'll come anyway. There is no way to prevent his arrival. In any case, it is not possible to predict; but we will have that particular meeting and our journey comes to an end.
The mistake of many Christians is not to prepare themselves for that day. We live as if we are eternal. Until we speak, we make it very clear: "next year, in the month so, when I have so many years I will do this or that, I want to see my children, my grandchildren in college etc".
