My brothers, God knows where your heart is. How much intensity your faith has. It is in times of pain that we will really place our trust in Jesus. When everything around us is falling apart.
On a bad day (it arrives for everyone) your trust needs to be in God, never in people. They, most of the time, will not be able to help you. Just look and maybe leave your company. Watch you alone at the ordeal.
So when the terrible moments of struggle come, put your trust in Jesus. He will never abandon you. It will place you under the shadow of your hands, which measure the universe in hand, and lead you to the safe haven.
Trust in the Lord. Don't be fooled by the voice of the heart. Fix your faith in Jesus Christ. As terrible as your struggle is, when we have the Lord beside us, everything is easier. It is in times of pain that we know who trusts in God.

Several Christians, perhaps out of laziness, did not read in the Gospel of Matthew, about the warning of Jesus Christ, about the struggles and afflictions that we would all face before we reached Heaven.
Terrible battles, where our hearts would be saddened.
But in times of light Gospel, with only light preaching, people got used to following Jesus Christ is synonymous with calm (but with struggle) and peace all the time. No battles, just joy.
Like a spoiled child who has never been scolded by his parents, this type of Christian grows accustomed only to flowers, without the presence of thorns. You cannot imagine how difficult it is to follow Jesus, to carry the cross that he calculated for each one of us.
They follow the path thinking only of the flowers, leaving aside the thorns. They do not know that pain works as an alert to correct course, strengthen faith. It is not to kill anyone, but to keep you alive.

Many people place their faith in Jesus Christ when all is well. Life free of battles, money left in the current account, abundant food at home, united family, professional work full of success and love life a sweet honey.
In this context, Jesus is praised. After all, it is the strength of the arm that prevails. There are no grounds for complaints. The Christian lies happily and stands up happily. It is the best of all worlds, and according to some, the Heavens here on Earth.
It is gratifying to come home after work and receive a passionate kiss from the wife, another close and loving hug from the children. Go to the kitchen, open the fridge and choose which type of food to put on the plate or even which juice to put in the glass.
This is the world desired by many Christians. Bring Paradise to this corrupt world. All free of struggles and afflictions. Just peace and peace, love in gigantic doses. More beautiful than a dream of love. Those we never intended to wake up to.

Our trust must be complete in Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can guarantee our entry into eternity. People must urgently look to the Gospel as a salvation stone, not just to satisfy the desires of the flesh.
The Word says "cursed of the man who trusts in man". Unfortunately, many Christians continue to place their trust in people, as if they were able to guarantee their salvation. Don't do this my brother. Watch!
Your trust, at all times, must be in Jesus Christ. Never in people. Why they fail, sin and make mistakes. The Lord has never made a mistake and will never make a mistake. He is perfect. You have control over everything that happens in the universe.
If you are weak, look at the heavens, that is where your help will come from, through Jesus Christ. Hold it firmly in your hands through prayer and dignified behavior. Do not lose faith in the faith. Trust in the Lord. He will not disappoint you.

It is not news to anyone that we are living in the last days, with the fulfillment of several prophecies made by Jesus Christ. Just stay tuned to the news and see how much the world is heading for destruction, as stated in Matthew, 24/24.
Unfortunately, a good part of the Christians are still concerned with acquiring earthly blessings, they are not concerned with eternity, the dwelling in Heaven, they only think about gathering treasure here in this world, where moths and thieves proliferate.
In these moments it is necessary to open your ears and pay attention to the messages that several brothers in Jesus preach in churches committed to God. It is time for us to maintain our holiness. Get away from the delicacies of the world.
Today is no longer a time to be attached to fads, to meaningless conversations, which only lead towards the abyss. The eyes need to be wide open and see what the devil intends to offer us. You can't waste time on bullshit.

The human being is only concerned with seeking Jesus Christ when the situation gets worse. Otherwise, they leave aside prayers, fasts, powerful and famous prayers on the mountain. This is the rule that governs a large part of the Christian.
But the bad day comes, as it did with Moses, Elijah and Jesus Christ. Are you better than them and will never go through this experience, to build your faith, and to keep on the path towards eternity?
People need to be more sensitive to understand Jesus' move. He is a Spirit, he does not behave like a man. They run away from the standards set by the religious, many of them concerned only with creating rules to arrest members in their denominations.
On a bad day, we will depend on God. To look at Him and listen carefully to his directions to return to the axis, from which we left without noticing, because of the concerns of everyday life, leaving aside the Gospel of the Lord.

It is very easy to maintain faith in God when everything is in heaven. In other words, without the existence of any kind of battle, such as a current account full of money, a pantry full of food, a good job, a united family.
The Christian, when experiencing this beautiful experience, even hesitates, lets his guard down and stops seeking the wisdom of God. You trust yourself more than you trust the Lord, after all, there is no reason to worry. He even starts to pray little.
This type of behavior is the norm in any type of Christian. Especially in those interested only in financial blessings, in the rapid success offered by various denominations, as if the Kingdom of God had no struggles.
People stop trusting God completely and put their faith in their arms, as if there were a superchristian or a superchristian. Time passes, and when there is no battle, the lack of concern increases and the risk of danger too.

The present Christian generation, under 30, is questioning. Likes to lean Jesus against the wall. In the view of this portion of the population, the Lord should be more malleable, not take too heavy on people.
They are adept at the Gospel of facilities. They can do anything and God must agree. They confuse the Lord with earthly parents, who are now very dominated by their children, without authority in the home.
They are unwilling to read the Bible. Just what matters. When it comes to obedience, they soon try to jump off the boat. Jesus, in their view, is only good to fulfill their desires.
It is in this context that people need to be aware if they really are blissful. If in doubt, there is a great risk of being left out of eternity. It's good to think about it.

The passing days make the behavior of many Christians more terrible. Women, from adolescence to adult, wear clothes similar to those of prostitutes. They abuse short skirts and outrageous necklines.
When wearing shorts, they are so short that it is impossible for any man to look at them without any sexual desire. For them it is all natural. Then just ask Jesus for forgiveness and all is well.
They do it on purpose, as if God were a fool. That accepts the apologies without knowing the reasons for that kind of attitude. In this kind of attitude, many are speeding toward hell.
This type of Christian thinks that the Kingdom of God is governed by human rules, where it is possible to deceive Jesus Christ by forging a lame excuse for committing sin. This is not how this wheel spins.

Psalm 119, verses 1/3, points out that “blessed are those who walk in righteous ways and walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and seek him with the whole heart. And they do not practice iniquity, but walk in their ways.
Many Christians today prefer the wide and easy path, full of the pleasures of darkness. They refuse the Gospel of the cross, which requires sacrifice to obey God's commandments.
To complicate matters, they choose denominations in which sin is not fought but encouraged. That is, the member is free to do as he wishes. Even the most terrible options, condemned by the Lord. What counts are the offerings and tithes.
It's a spoiled Christian generation. It does not accept correction from Jesus. Considers God a dictator. They prefer the lies of Satan, who promises happiness in this world and eternal pain in the abyss.
