Christian can drink?

* Luís Alberto Alves

A very polite Christian traveled in the first class of a flight when a flight attendant came with a drink and offered him a dose. Seeing that it was an alcoholic beverage, this gentleman politely denied the drink.

The stewardess as soon as she returned with another drink, much more expensive, with olives and lemon ... The Christian man again denied, and said that he did not consume alcoholic beverages.

The stewardess was worried, and told the head of the flight attendant what had happened.

The head of the service then ordered her to prepare another drink with flowers and other decorations to make the drink even more attractive, but still that gentleman so polite denied the drink.

The shipmaster became worried and then came to that Christian and said,

"Do you see anything wrong with our services?" We are trying to make your trip more comfortable ... Please accept our offer, it's a courtesy!

At that moment, the man looked at both of them and said:

- I am a Christian and I do not drink alcoholic beverages.

The chief continued to urge you to accept the offer until the Christian then proposed that the flight attendant and the flight attendant go together to the cockpit and serve this drink to the first flight pilots.

The steward was frightened and replied that he could not give alcohol to the pilots on duty because if one of them drank anybody on that plane they would reach their destination. The chief of the service still said, "It is forbidden for them to drink on duty!"

The Christian man smiled and said,

"Just as they do not drink on duty to protect lives, I do not drink because I want to protect my faith. My flight is different: it is a journey of faith, where I need to be connected to the Holy Spirit all the time, remaining vigilant and praying without ceasing. I can not allow anything other than God to control my attitudes.

Then the flight attendant and the stewardess left that man, but words he heard from him and the testimony they saw of him will never leave the mind and heart of those two people ...

Maybe its temptation might be in other areas, or maybe it's exactly in the drink ... Maybe it's sex, maybe it's a fight of submission, anger, pride, clumsy words, gossip, betrayal ... No matter what the that you are tempted, but remember that each one of us is on duty and we are more than pilots, policemen, firemen or doctors ... We are agents of miracles fulfilling a service for the Great King! Continue steadfast, watchful, and being an example in every respect for believers and nonbelievers.

What is being a Preacher?

* Luís Alberto Alves

To be a preacher is to know that you will live surrounded by people, but when you need someone, you will be alone.

To be a preacher is to be admired in the pulpit as you preach and know that they will criticize you when you come down from there.

To be a preacher is to leave the house crying because of the pain, but to rise on the pulpit smiling because of the souls.

To be a preacher is to preach and say that God will give victory, even when in your life everything is going wrong.

To be a preacher is to preach that God heals even when you are sick.

To be a preacher is to preach that God restores families, even when your family is totally shaken.

To be a preacher is to say to God weeping, - I never preach, and the next day to be in the pulpit saying: God's command is stronger than I am.

God save you who preach ...

Preachers who preach the truth! "We can not stop ......

God knows your limit

* Luís Alberto Alves

The bear came and prepared David for the lion;

The lion came and prepared David for Goliath;

Goliath came and prepared David for Saul;

Saul came and prepared David for the Throne;

God allows situations, seemingly impossible in our lives, to take us to larger places.

When we reach the limit: God comes with providence.

The limit of Moses was the sea ... God opened !!!

The limit of Abraham was the death of Isaac ... God provided the Lamb !!!

Ana's limit was sterility ... God gave her a son !!!

The limit of Christ was death ... God raised him up !!!

What is your limit?

May God bless your life abundantly, and that what limits you, may be only the instrument for the miracle of God in your life.

Do not look at the problem as the end, but as the opportunity of the manifestation of the Glory of God !!!

You can, you're capable!

God forgot you ??? - 5

* Luís Alberto Alves

In all this that I quoted in the above lines, God is still at your side. She never left him. He walks along with you, contemplates your worries, hears your heartbeat, blood pressure rises, tears streaming from your eyes, when you go to the bathroom for seconds or minutes of peace.

As you probe and know all our thoughts, visualize your move and how you will act when the bad time arrives. Even when we feel rotten, dirty and even incompetent to find a solution to a serious problem. God remains present, attentive to everything.

We question ourselves. If Jesus Christ sees everything, why not come in to solve and take the stumbling block out of the way? Simple! He allows all this for our growth. In the school of the Lord, problems exist to be solved, never to be set aside! In the vestibular of God, no question is left blank. It needs to be resolved.

Therefore let my brother and sister in Jesus Christ withdraw from your head the thoughts of which the Lord has forgotten you. He's never going to do something like that. You are gold in his hands and will remain in the furnace of Heaven until you reach the maximum point of stoning and become rare jewel in the store of life, whose brightness of the Lord is intense.

Even the most beautiful and coveted woman in the world, feels the nuisance of PMS (Premenstrual Tension). There is no escape. She arrives and moves the mood, leaving everything different around her, even giving the impression that she will be dirty for a few days. And because of this, in Judaism, on menstruating days, women are considered impure.

Or the next pregnant woman to give birth. How many pains do not cause the contractions, announcing that the baby is coming? If it is a natural childbirth, the pains in the operating table, until the concretization of that birth, will play it in the worst of the worlds. Until the doctor removes the child and shows that a new life has come into the world.

These are situations that everyone will pass through. No executive comes to the position of becoming president in a company, without going through the terrible test of solving complicated situations. Is it more difficult than at the request of shareholders to close branches and announce countless layoffs, including the men and women who head their homes?

Imagine the eve of this ad. Try to sleep and know that within a few hours, hundreds or even thousands of people will be out of work, burying dreams of young employees or abort the time of employees who are about to retire. It is not easy to get through this funnel, without feeling anything in the heart.

Trapped to memories, we imagined that we were happy then. After all, everything was going well. The accounts were under control. Red never showed up in the finances, leaving the credit card and special check aside. We sailed in a calm sea, illuminated by a beautiful sun.

Like a child, we Christians get used to the bonanza. We think that the whole course of life will be like this. Only calm, equally eternal spring, when the gardens are always flowery or summer, where the heat is the trademark, leaving the cold clothes guarded.

We forget the famous phrase of Jesus Christ: "In the world you will have afflictions ...." How good it would be to live on this planet, without feeling the bitter taste of those terrible days! Look at the sky and see no dark cloud, announcing rain, causing floods and catastrophes.

Children and adolescents act this way. They think that life is an eternal party, where everything is only joy. They will never face charges. The dreams will be fulfilled without any dose of sacrifice, just like ripe fruit falling from the foot. But this is not the way the wheel of time turns.

Everything conspires against you. Sleep is not enough. Because the worries do not give you rest. The pains attack your body, especially in the spine, which channels the negative discharges of the nervous system, because inside the cord this important channel receives all the impact of what is lodged in the mind.

It's terrible. You feel the weight of the insulation. Few people come to you. Even in social networks, no one is willing to talk to you. It is the same patient afflicted with severe illness, which even doctors and nurses seek to keep away.

It's not easy. You pray, cry, fast, go to the mountain, but in your vision, nothing seems right. In this hour, the good times lived in the past return swiftly in your thoughts. Relive that era, where he lived a small interval of happiness, when money was full in the checking account.

Remember financial stability. The salary was deposited on a monthly basis, the good medical covenant shocked any concerns about his health and his family. The shopping was backed by the excellent food voucher and the weekends were packed with trips or lunch at good restaurants.

God forgot you ???

In the gale that often strikes the Christian, there is the impression that Jesus Christ left us alone in the boat of life and we will face the enemy with no weapon in our hands. At the time of crisis, we focus on the problem instead of looking at God.

That's the rule. No matter the intensity of the test, we think only of how to get out of that terrible storm. Sometimes we fail to go to church, to pray constantly, to read the Bible, and even to sing songs of worship to the Lord.

It is not easy to feel the heat and cold of the desert. Only those who have been there understand perfectly what I am describing. The feeling is awful. We feel the worst of the worst. It seems that we are scum, because the friends disappear and even the relatives.

That's when the huge pineapple is in your hands and with a blind knife, you'll try to peel it. Nothing helps in this hour. If you are washing dishes in the kitchen, the glass dish will slip from your hands and it will crash on the floor, so will that crystal glass, a wedding gift.
