Don't forget to pray

* Luis Alberto Alves

I forgot to say yesterday (16) that all the brothers in Jesus Christ pray for their relatives (wife, husband, children, parents, mothers, daughters-in-law, and son-in-law).

Put in your prayers the political, military and judicial authorities of your respective countries. The devil's fury in liquidating as many lives as possible is great.

Don't just worry about eating and buying presents. Set aside a good time for prayer. As a former member of witchcraft, it is at this time that the children of darkness work most for the destruction of others. Great year for everyone.

Dear brothers, by 2020!

* Luis Alberto Alves

My dear brothers in Jesus Christ, another year comes to an end. I will only be writing in this blog again in 2020. I wish you all Peace, Love, Happiness and God's Presence. Stay stuck to the vine. Only Christ is the certainty of eternal life. By 2020.

Time goes by fast and doesn't wait for anyone-2

* Luis Alberto Alves

I realize that the youth of the present generation are rushed only with the bullshit of the world. The futile things, which are soon over. Do not focus on the main. They only look at the perishable.

They imagine that they will live forever. They will be eternal. So much innocence. Some refuse to live with Jesus, preferring the lentil dishes offered by the devil, master of dirt.

They do not realize that time will leave them behind without waiting or accepting crying. They think time is the same as human beings. It is something that is in God's hands, the only one who obeys.

Therefore, young brethren in Christ, seek to look to the Lord as it is time. Leave the bullshit aside. Enjoy the time with Jesus and you only have to win.

Time goes by fast and expects no one-1

* Luis Alberto Alves

God has the control of time. You know what will happen in the future. By the time we will depart from this world, by appointment, day, week and month. All under your control.

But out of irresponsibility, people will not accept obeying God and looking at Him. They imagine that they will have plenty of time to do their jobs. Mistake. Sometimes the match is so fast that we don't blink.

Death doesn't send a message. She arrives and finishes her task soon. Whoever is in the presence of Jesus Christ will surely be entering into glory. Who wasted time on bullshit. Bad luck.

Many people refuse to manage their time. Waste good opportunities to keep your mouth shut. They look only at the material that perishes soon, forgetting about the spiritual.

Time goes by fast and waits for no one

* Luis Alberto Alves

Time goes fast and waits for no one. It also does not return to repair any errors. Only visualize the future. Just pay attention to 2019, which is nearing its end.

Many people make excuses not to take advantage of the time available at their fingertips. They waste time on bullshit. Instead of looking ahead for well-being. Waste time with futrica.

People so far have not understood the dynamics of time. It is something that cannot be stopped. Just sail forward. Even with money, it is impossible to stop it.

Never despise God's advice

* Luis Alberto Alves

Even if your life is wonderful, never disregard God's advice. Ask Him for guidance. Do not judge yourself the chief, the pope of knowledge. You can break your face later and get depressed.

Also do not subdue the darkness. Commanded by the devil, they will attack your weak point. That which enslaved him at the time of the world. This is where the demons go to work. They will always do this until your fall.

Do not be proud. Do not think that you are superman and will never depend on the prayers of the brothers. Be humble. Keep your feet on the ground. Thus you will win great victories and your name will be exalted through Jesus.

Always look to God. He is sure of safe harbor. Don't trust men too much. They are flawed and at the first opportunity will throw you to the lions without any mercy. Walk and trust in the Lord.

Always walk with Jesus

* Luis Alberto Alves

Regardless of the situation we need to keep walking alongside the Lord. The difficulties cause us discomfort. After all we are not ice. We have emotions. We can never deny that something is good when it hurts us.

But our trust must always be in Jesus Christ. He is our very present help, especially in times of anguish, of sadness, when we imagine that our end has come.

It is common at the end of the year to evaluate our victories and defeats, for success usually people do not remember God. They think they went to the curriculum because of human ability. Defeats are the target of lamentation.

Unfortunately few pray to the Lord for clarification on future projects. Just step on the accelerator and that's fine. They do not know that Jesus knows our tomorrow. What will be the result of that adventure.

A toast to Joseph

*Daniel Medeiros 

The figure that most delights me at Christmas is Joseph. I find it incredible that Joseph accepted the story of Mary. An angel came and said she would have a son of God. She then tells Joseph and Joseph believes, accepts and welcomes. Raises the boy as his own, takes risks for him, loves and educates. The carpenter Joseph, discreet and humble. What man. I admire and feel very small at his memory.

Imagine today, a Joseph, how many are there? The baby Jesus, still little, one day disappears and when they find him is there talking with the rabbis. Scold? Punishment? Nothing. Good old Joseph accepts and welcomes. It is a constitution, with clear foundations and principles of how to create a savior. And so Jesus came to adulthood. And it went to the sacrifice. And it is mainly at this moment that my fantasy diverges from ordinary fantasy.

This Jesus who fought with the temple sellers, confronted the religious authorities, accepted the unjust accusations, the physical suffering and the death on the cross, was so because it was the son that Joseph raised, with firmness of character, determination of ideas, courage of take and sustain them. For who else gave such an example to Jesus? God, distant and ambiguous, unable to go straight to Mary, to send a messenger for such a fundamental decision?

No. José, this was the fucking male who should be remembered and celebrated as the model of the man who composes, aggregates, accepts, and assumes his mother's love - the Mary who begat the boy who was saved by Joseph, quick on the trigger. , who knew he should flee when the crazy king wanted to kill all the firstborn. You could have there, Joseph, tested the fruitful God.

But if it is God, why am I the carpenter who must flee, take risks, sleep in the open, watch my wife give birth in the midst of animals, to save her son who is not mine? But Joseph did not enter into this testosterone-filled discussion with his heavenly Father. You did his part. And without charging credit or claiming privileges. Done and done.

The baby Jesus was born, cute, dark, with black hair and eyes like those of the place, the cry of a healthy child, soon looking for the mother's breast, the mother's love. Dad, God knows where he was. But Joseph was there, within reach. This Jose I toast at Christmas. Without him, there would be no Jesus. Or there would be. But it would not be loving and compassionate. Jesus had someone to learn from. And learned it. Mazal Tov.

What the enemy plot to finish you is the beginning of God's victory

Essay

Our God is Omnipotent (have all power) Is Omniscient (Sees everything, knows everything, knows everything) Is Omnipresent (is everywhere, past, present and future for Him is the same thing).

The enemy, not a created being, is subject to the Permissive Will and the Sovereign Will of our great God.

For this reason, evil will always misinterpret the events in our lives, and it will do its utmost to make us live in His view, not God's view of us.

That which is the end of the enemy, the defeat of it, to God is the beginning of a great and glorious time. Your promotion to a next phase with the Lord.

WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST, SOON; WE SHOULD THINK AND ACT IN THE SAME WAY, AND NEVER ACCEPT THE ENEMY'S MISTAILS OUR RESPECT !!!

"... For there is hope that the tree, though it has been cut down, shall be renewed, and its fruit shall not cease. If its root grow old in the ground, and its trunk die in the dust, as it smells of the waters, it shall sprout again and give new branches like the plant .... My God, according to his riches, will supply all his needs in glory through Christ Jesus ... "
Job 14: 7-9 / Philippians 4:19

Adversities are divine opportunities God offers us

* Luis Alberto Alves

Whenever adversity takes the form of impossible or unbearable, it means the nearness of victory and the conquest of the miracle.

God will never share his glory with anything or anyone, that is, He has always been and always will be in control of everything.

When we choose to remain faithful and confident unconditionally no matter how difficult the situation is, we are in fact giving reasons for God to exalt us in an extraordinary way.

YOU HAVE ALREADY OVERCOMED POSSIBLE SITUATIONS, THAT WILL BE ONE MORE FOR YOUR CURRICULUM, BUT WITH A SPECIAL TOUCH FROM THE LORD !!!

".... My God hath sent his angel, and shut the lions' mouths, that they should not hurt me, because he was found in me innocence before him: and also against thee, O king, I have not committed any trespass. Then the king greatly rejoiced in himself, and commanded to bring Daniel out of the pit, and Daniel was brought out of the pit, and no harm was found in him, because he believed in his God.
Daniel 6: 22-23
