Never play to pay attention to the Lord. He is love, but he is also a consuming fire. God does not have as an innocent person who has known and knows the liberating and enriching content of his wise Words.

You already got out of the mud. He knows the sea of dirt and the stench of sin in which he lived great or most of his life. The sorrows he suffered there. The disappointments and the days of pain. Don't be a masochist. Prefer to stay in the light.

If you were born and raised in an evangelical Christian family. Never doubt what the devil is capable of. He's bad by nature. His essence is to destroy everything that God created. You are a work of the Lord. Stay with this kind Father.

The warning that I leave you with this text is to stay in the presence of the Lord. Do not believe the devil's suggestions. Many of them are beautiful at first and then become ugly at the end. Causing big disappointments.

For you to know that the snake is poisonous you don't have to put your finger in its mouth. By nature, they are known to cause damage. Some of them deep, like the loss of life, after being stung.

Also do not pay attention to the Lord, practicing actions with high doses of adrenaline. It may happen that God does not order his angels to support you so that you do not stumble with your feet in stone. This can happen.

It is even worse to hear from Jesus' lips “that it was better that this person had not known him”! Unfortunately, because of the struggles and falling traps in this world, where we are passing through, many abandon God.

Accustomed to the rush of this century, they believe that Jesus Christ is too slow. They prefer the devil's suggestions. Choose the quick and perishable proposal to be happy here on this Earth, full of deception.

Some even criticize us pastors. We are classified as backward and even fundamentalist. To continue to guide the sheep under the precepts indicated by God. To do the right thing. Put the wrong aside.

The patient Jesus healed, when the doctors had condemned him to death, forgot this miracle and started to criticize the door opened by the Lord. The place where he once had the great and saving encounter with God.

For lack of wisdom, they do not know what Jesus Christ said, through the lips of the apostle Peter, in the letter entitled 2Peter, chapter 2-20, in which the Lord emphasizes that the last state of someone who left his presence will be bad.

In other words, this evangelical Christian, removed from the Lord, will go deeper into the mire, from which he was removed by God, from sin. As highlighted in this letter written by Pedro. It is the dog returning to eat its own vomit.

Because of this haste, countless evangelical Christians return to the mire from which Jesus Christ, by his infinite mercy, withdrew them. The prostitute returns to relationships with several men, degrading her body each time.

The drug addict starts to clog the body with cocaine, marijuana, heroin, alcohol, morphine and all kinds of drugs used to deceive the mind, giving the false feeling that everything is fine.

The assailant steals and even kills anyone who appears in front of him to try to prevent that crime from happening. The corrupt put into action plans to create schemes to get money from the government again.

God has never been and will be flawed! What he promises, the Lord keeps. Everything in his time. He is unaware of the barriers of past, present and future, existing only here in this world, where we are passing through.

He knows the exact time to bless us. The problem is that many people have been conditioned by darkness to live in haste. As if this lifestyle had any influence on the decisions of Jesus Christ.

It is the sad habit of wanting blessings not for the glory of God, but to fill our ego. Humiliate whoever was used by the devil to persecute us. Show that we are super-Christians. It is when the person becomes a slave of haste.

Take the example of generation Z, young people born in the 2000s, completely plugged into the internet. Accustomed to the speed of social media, they imagine life to be the same. Therefore, they judge God as slow.

They think the Lord is slow to deliver and keep promises from Him. After some time in the church, they return to the world. After all, there is adrenaline. Everything is fast. There is nothing slow.

There was even an application in which the videos last for seconds, to scare away the ghost of waiting. They look and quickly interpret the message. And he goes on to another clip and routine life goes on, full of pitfalls ...

In the same way, the cold Christian, who raises his hands in the church, gives glory to God, stomps his feet on the ground, twirls and smiles thinking that he is deceiving Jesus with this show of gestures. Today, several behave this way.

For lack of Bible reading, prayer and fellowship with God; countless evangelical Christians, gradually turned away from the right ways of the Lord. They slowly returned to the mire in which Jesus once rescued them.

They missed the dark past. Of the false tasty taste of sin. They started to imagine that the Promises of Jesus are long and they would be wasting time when they do not enjoy the pleasures offered by the devil.

The corrupt, on the other hand, imagine that they are delivering the perfect blow. You will never know the cold of a prison cell. They will continue to earn rivers of money and the Justice will never condemn them. They are crime professionals!

The wife or husband who commits adultery always thinks that the affair will never be discovered. That mistake will prevail for several years. After all, in their view, they will leave no trace.

The teenage son or daughter, in the darkness of the room, believes that they will be able to browse pornographic sites or even watch unwanted movies for the Christian and the parents will remain deluded. In this case, they are also very smart.

The world is seductive, selling the image that sin is good with excellent advertising. Prostitute dresses well and uses pleasant perfume, in addition to exuding a lot of sensuality. It's the network to catch weak men in the sentimental area.

The dealer says the drug relieves and gives courage and disposition. Just know how to use that has no error. The drugged future will never have a problem facing the fights. However, with each dose it will sink more and more.

The assailant always imagines that he will never end up in jail. He will steal, earn fortunes and have a good standard of living, without spilling a drop of sweat like the workers do to support the family and support themselves.
