Be Thankful to Jesus Christ - 2

Luis Alberto Alves So my brother or sister, take the time, before 2021 is over, and open your heart before the Lord in gratitude for all He has done to you. Turn off your cell phone, computer, television, radio and have quality time with God. Remember that more than 620,000 Brazilians did not have this opportunity that Jesus Christ gave him. Don't be arrogant with God. You depend on him to stay alive. By the mercy of the Lord, these words of mine, through my texts, inspired by God, have reached countless countries. Most will never be able to set my feet one day. But through these articles, the Lord allows me to visit them. I prophesy that each person who reads these words will be strengthened and reached by the intense love of Jesus Christ. Happy 2022 to you and your family. May the Lord, according to his will, make his dreams come true, even those considered impossible today by your human point of view. These are my wishes to the brothers and sisters who access this blog in France, Japan, Russia, China, Vietnam, Laos, South Korea, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, South Africa, Australia, Fiji, United States, Germany, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, Finland, Czechia, Serbia, Canada, Argentina, Peru, Mongolia.

Be grateful to Jesus Christ - 1

Luis Alberto Alves Have you also opened your lips to Jesus Christ for having prevented a serious traffic accident from throwing you onto your bed, quadriplegic, depending on others even for a drink of water? Have you already thanked the Lord for the beautiful and wonderful family that God has placed by his side, which is always with you, in good times and bad? The list is huge. But we need the Lord's mercy to continue our struggle while we are here in this dark world. It's time to let go of pride, unbridled consumerism. Of looking only at the material, leaving aside the spiritual. Increase intimacy with Jesus Christ. Could it be that 24 hours a day, you don't have 1 hour reserved for God? Who has help in hardship? Are social networks, soap operas, miniseries, virtual friends, the soccer team, bar and school buddies, the gossipy neighbor or neighbor? When the situation gets bad, it's Jesus Christ who comes to your rescue. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

be grateful to Jesus Christ

 

Luis Alberto Alves Every end of the year, the same attitude is repeated: “people concerned with satisfying their hunger for Panettone, sweets, turkeys, hams, barbecue and buying lots of gifts”. It is not wrong to consume, as long as it is not an escape valve. Just to satisfy the ego and make the “god” Mammon happy. Today is December 30th. Have you ever bent your knees to thank Jesus Christ for the deliverances He has bestowed on you and your family? Have you ever thanked the angel of death for not having taken someone dear to you, such as a father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, grandson, great-grandson or close friend or friend? Have you ever thanked Jesus Christ for not allowing the unemployment machete not to cut your neck at the company you work for and enter the tenebrous statistic of the millions of “Without Work” existing in our country? Have you ever prayed to the Lord that no stray bullet found his body? Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves As a minister of the Gospel, by the mercy of the Lord, for 17 years, I have already witnessed the tragic end of people who decided to play with God. They fell into the lie that satan is good. That it is possible to sin and then ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness and everything goes back to normal, as if nothing had happened. The Lord forgives, but the consequences of sin remain. Jesus Christ has the power to forgive the murderer, but he will have to serve the prison sentence for taking someone else's life. It is the harvest of the fruit that he sowed. The young woman who decided to have sex with the boyfriend she met at the party and later became pregnant, will have to raise the child later. So, my brothers and sisters, meditate on these words that the Lord bothered me to write. I admit that this is a harsh text, but a friend is not the only one who praises, but seeks to alert about failures that can no longer be committed. If you want to go live in Heaven, and stay there for eternity, flee from everything that looks like evil. Remember: the devil does not play at being the devil, but there are Christians playing at being a Christian. Unfortunately! Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves After David's sin, his life became hell. In Galatians 6/7, through Paul, Jesus Christ warns "For whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." If someone planted beans, they won't harvest rice. The rule is quite clear in the sowing law. We are free to plant, yet obligated to reap the fruit of that seed. At this time, it's no use fasting, trying to sleep in church, reading the Bible 24 hours a day. The arrow has already come out of the bow. Will not return. The time has come to pay the high price of disobedience. There are people, who at this stage, rebel against God. They accuse him of ungrateful. After all, in their view, it was just a “little sin”... Jesus Christ did not create hell for us. That dark place, the Lord reserved for Satan and his demons. Unfortunately, millions of people are rushing to share hell with the devil and his commands. They refuse to listen to God's counsel. They think they are the best in the world. They will never be wrong. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves In the case of women, what harm is there in wearing a very short skirt to show off your shapely legs during summer gym months? To feel the pleasure, that when passing in front of men, they desire her with their eyes? Some even quote David, as he coveted Uriah's wife Bathsheba, as written in 2 Samuel 11/2-3. Some even reinforce that Bathsheba was not ugly, otherwise she would not have been able to seduce David. But because they are too lazy to read the Bible, they are unaware of the punishment that God sends, after David sends Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba, to his death on the battlefield. The prophet Nathan speaks to David and warns that the sword (righteousness) will never leave his house. For those who love to read the Word of the Lord, will know the tragedy that will overtake David's family. As narrated in 2 Samuel 13 1-22. The child Bathsheba was expecting from David dies at a week old. Later, the eldest son, Amnon, rapes his own sister, Tamar. Absalom, the other son, has his brother killed to avenge the crime and goes to war with his father, claiming the throne of Israel. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves As the slang says: “I'm going to go astray in Jesus”! They act like that in their love life, cheating on husband, wife, boyfriend; getting involved in corruption, trafficking and drug consumption, attacking others with gestures and words, being selfish. Finally, the list of errors is long. In the minds of this type of evangelical, Jesus Christ needs to fit his lifestyle. It is the Lord who is wrong to say, in Proverbs 14/12, that "there are paths that to man seem good, but to God it is abyss." How can I refuse to take the prettiest girl in the neighborhood, at the company, at school to bed? Or hang out with the hottest young man in college, in the condominium where he lives? Someone worthy of appearing on the best magazine covers in the world, of exploding social media with hundreds of likes? Something that, according to these people, only happens once in a lifetime.

For this type of evangelical, Jesus Christ is wonderful only when he pours out blessings. He is like a husband who remembers his wife when making love. After feeling pleasure, he falls asleep and leaves her to one side, or the child who goes to his parents only in search of a gift, without helping at all in the house. At the time of joy he is close, in pain he tries to be distant.

They hate to flee from everything that looks evil, as written in 1 Thessalonians 5/22. As rebels, they only seek to walk in the paths that are displeasing to the Lord. It seems that the fascination for wrong is greater than for the right. Like an ox heading to the slaughterhouse, they don't realize that they are in the grip of Satan and quickly go to hell.

The problem is that this type of evangelical imagines that it is possible to deceive the Lord. He thinks that God is a dull old man, weak-sighted, with difficulty in mobilizing. In the minds of these people, the thought is the following: “I commit my sins and near death I ask for forgiveness and I go to eternity. Because I won't waste my life following the Bible”!

Luis Alberto Alves The rule is to come face to face with the commandments of Jesus Christ. After all, in the opinion of this type of evangelical, the Word of God needs to stay up to date. After all, we are in the 21st century. A time of great advances in science. Why wait until marriage to find out if the future husband is good in bed? The business is testing first. Well if Christ turned water into wine, at a wedding feast, as described in John 2 1-11, why not get drunk? What's wrong with quenching my thirst in several cans of beer and drinking several glasses of caipirinha while eating a feijoada? Otherwise, according to these false converts, Jesus would not have performed that miracle at this feast. When warned through the Word, they refuse to listen to the Lord's counsel. Some withdraw and say they are short of time to meditate on these warnings. Afterwards, they comment on social networks, with friends, that the pastor of their church is very straight-faced, outdated, that he is always preaching correction. It doesn't even feel like it's in the 21st century. Time of big change! Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves As we are living in a wide-open Gospel age, where some denominations, concerned only with pulling the wool off the sheep, instead of fighting for their salvation, anything is allowed. There is no barrier. The man or woman can do what they think is best. They drink, use drugs, prostitute themselves, rebel at the company, at school, at home; they threaten, curse people in traffic, steal, steal. The business, in the view of this type of false Christian, is to get along with the lifestyle of this world, where Satan has dominion, as it is written in 1 John 5/19. Carelessness, in the opinion of lying Christians, is obeying what the Word of God says. At the celebrations at the end of the year, they drink, speak ill of the boss and the company in the circles of scoffers, ignoring Jesus' warning in Psalm 1. A smart evangelical, in this gospel with a wide door, he is the man who takes several women to bed, stuffs himself with beer, caipirinha, whiskey, cocaine, marijuana, heroin. A tuned-in evangelical is the one who wears skirts so short that prostitutes would be embarrassed or wear shorts that even Satan would be tempted to grab her on the street.

Run away from everything that looks evil

 

Luis Alberto Alves As in the days when the flood was close, people despised Noah's warnings. They scoffed when they found him working on building the ark. They refused to listen to the Word of God in order to get out of the bad way and visualize eternity. Anyway, Noah was seen as a lunatic, fundamentalist, outdated, straight-faced. Someone who wasn't enjoying the best of life. Preoccupied only with pleasing the flesh, as described in Luke 17/27, people lived on eating, drinking, joining in marriage, and being promised in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. Then came the flood and destroyed them all. Today is no different. As God does nothing in this world, before warning his prophets, the Lord warns us ministers of the Gospel, what can happen to someone who refuses to walk in the right ways of Jesus Christ. Warnings come to us through dreams, visions, through the Word and even when the Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts about the matter. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Always pray for your neighbor – 2

Luis Alberto Alves Today, many evangelicals do not know how much other people prayed for their lives at the time they were in the world. Prayers offered in the silence of a room have great power before the Lord. Only He knows what you asked for, without the interest of being seen by the crowd, wanting fame. The world, unlike the optimists, will get worse and worse, to fully fulfill the Word of Jesus Christ. Those who don't know it will need structure to see the way of salvation and at the time of affliction and not succumb to the devil's lies. Your prayers will be support for that someone to see the light at the end of the tunnel. So, put your pride aside and claim for your neighbor, your coworkers, school, college. Don't forget about your relatives, even those who humiliate you and make fun of your faith. Obey and do what Jesus Christ asked. You are sowing good seeds that will become sweet fruits on the day of the great harvest. Remember: “you don't know your tomorrow”! Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Always pray for your neighbor – 1

Luis Alberto Alves As no one knows the future, it is recommended that we pray for others. It costs nothing. When you get up in the morning, when doing your devotional, introduce your friends and strangers to God. Ask the Lord to visit them, to help them in their needs. Everyone needs divine help. Sadly, some servants of Jesus claim that by praying for these people, they will not meet the Father. Because their problems have been solved. In other words, they justify the fact that their prayers served to prevent the conversion process from taking place in that life. As wise as someone is, he will not understand God's plans. The morning of that life, which still does not know and live the love of Jesus Christ. It is not for us to question the reason for praying for the other. Furthermore, what is the cost of opening your lips and asking someone for the Lord's help? Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Always pray for your neighbor

Luis Alberto Alves We are living in difficult times. People need prayers. As a result of the pandemic, several families are living a climate of war at home. As the popular saying goes “where there is no bread, no one is right”. When the emotional speaks louder than the rational, the field is open to conflicts. Evangelicals are not immune to crises. Passing through this world, the same fire that sets fire to a place can spread and reach where a servant of God lives. It is in this context that the power of prayer comes into play. In the book of Job, chapter 42, verse 10 it is written: "And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends..." Even facing a terrible ordeal, Job did not leave his friends by the wayside. He prayed for them. However, how often do we do this with our neighbors? Asking for the intervention of Jesus Christ for our family members is easy. It's hard to do this with those we don't know, or even with those people who hate us, it's an arduous task. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Satan is afraid of the Word of God! two

Luis Alberto Alves When you go to pray Psalm 91 in a war against darkness use this Heaven-sent tactic. I (cite your name and that of your family) who dwell in the hiding place of the Most High, in the shadow of Almighty rest. I (cite your name and that of your family) will say of the Lord: He is our God, our refuge, our strength, and we will trust in him. For he will deliver us from the snare of the birdman, and from the pernicious pestilence. He will cover us with his feathers, and under his wings you will trust thee; his truth will be the shield and buckler (quote your name and that of your family) We will not be afraid of terror by night or of the arrow that flies by day. Neither of the plague that walks in the dark, nor of the slaughter that lays waste at midday. A thousand will fall beside us, and ten thousand on our right, but it will not reach us (quote your name and his family). Only with our eyes will we behold, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you, O Lord, are our refuge (cite your name and his family). In the Most High you made our dwelling. No harm will befall us, nor will any plague come to our house. For his angels will command our respect, to guard us in all our ways. They will hold us in their hands, so that we don't trip over our stone feet. We will step on the lion and the snake; we will trample at the feet the son of the lion and the serpent. Inasmuch as he loved us so dearly, I will also deliver us; he will put us in high retreat, because he knows our names (quote his name and that of his family. He will call upon us, and we will answer him; we will be with him in anguish; from her the Lord will take us away, and his name will be glorified. The Lord will fill us with plenty of days, and He will show us our salvation. (cite your name and that of your family). Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Satan is afraid of the Word of God! 1

 

Luis Alberto Alves Again in the power of the Word of the Lord, Jesus confronted the devil by answering, "It is also written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." This terrible war continues until verse 11, when Jesus then said to him, "Go away, Satan, for it is written, The Lord your God you shall worship, and Him alone you shall serve." When countering the proposal to prostrate himself before the devil to receive the garbage, wrapped in luxury, that he offers to the weak in faith. So the devil left him; and, behold, the angels came, and served him. Many evangelicals know Psalm 91, others even pray this Psalm at home, but without paying attention to important details in spiritual warfare. In a fight where the enemy sees you all the time, but you don't have the vision to see him, only to feel his terrible presence. The right thing is to pray the Word, to quote the mighty Word of God to defeat the darkness. If you intend to defeat the demons sent by the devil, learn the tactic of praying the Word of God. Since satan is not afraid of screaming, eye roll or punching the wall. He runs, as he ran before Jesus Christ, from the mighty fire that contains the Word of God. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Satan is afraid of the Word of God!

Luis Alberto Alves Imagine someone with a Russian SVLK-14S rifle, whose bullets can pierce any bulletproof vest, or even an inch-thick iron rail, but who doesn't know how to use that weapon. He will be held hostage to violence in the enemy's camp. So it is very evangelical who does not know the power of the Word of Jesus Christ. For lack of knowledge, they never paid attention to the greatest spiritual battle waged between Jesus Christ and the devil, as described in Matthew, 4/4-11, when the Lord fights Satan and overcomes him through the Word. Pay attention, that Jesus Christ always confronts the devil, saying: "It is written!" and the Evil One counterattacks saying: “and I told him”. Even when Satan took him to the spire of the temple and provoked him saying: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here; for it is written, That his angels will give orders concerning thee, And they will take thee in their hands, Lest you stumble with your foot on any stone”. Pay attention that the devil used an excerpt from Psalm 91 to make Jesus Christ do something to test God. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Trust in the Lord, God's righteousness is perfect 3

 

Luis Alberto Alves How many cases involving white-collar criminals, influential men in politics, in the financial market or even in the artistic world, end up without a fair trial? The strength of money influences the justice of this world. Nobody doubts this. Between condemning a poor person and a rich person, justice chooses to send to prison those who were not born in the cradle of wealth. However, this is not the view of Jesus Christ. Before the Lord, we are all equal, no matter what gender, skin color, social status, where you live, whether you are famous or anonymous. There is no privileged treatment. If the President of the United States, Joe Biden, commits serious error, he may even escape the punishment of human justice, but Jesus Christ, he will be condemned. The Lord does not see the human being, the creation of his hands, like our eyes. We see the outside, fame, wealth, the influence of political and economic power. God looks into our heart, our soul, our spirit. He knows who is fair or unfair. No need for police expertise. Therefore, keep trusting in the righteousness of Christ and the name of the Lord will be exalted in your life. Do not freak out. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Trust in the Lord, God's righteousness is perfect 2

 

Luis Alberto Alves If you're facing terrible struggles, and chances are you've even become weak in faith, trust Jesus Christ. He never leaves you. Take the brunt of the battle. Bear the wind of humiliation, uncertainty, pain caused by a romantic breakup, little money in your wallet, little food in the fridge, persecution, some of them even by your family. Jesus Christ is on your side. Of course, you are going to ask: “how are you by my side? Doesn't He see my suffering? Satan's struggle to finish me, reduce me to dust? The more I pray, does it seem like things get harder? My brother and sister, in this type of process, these thoughts often invade our minds, so that we throw everything away and return to the garbage the Lord rescued us from. The Word that God sends to tell you is the following: "only trust in the supreme power of Jesus Christ". Divine justice is not corrupt like that of this world. Where money speaks loudest in the judges' ears. The Lord knows what you need and has the solution to your problem. Just don't lose faith in the Creator. Control of time is in your hands. Jesus Christ is neither late nor early. It comes at the right time to show why He is God in your life. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Trust in the Lord, God's righteousness is perfect 1

 

Luis Alberto Alves How many harmful acts must you have made a reality in your life? And today he regrets it and tries, childishly, to return to the past, to find ways to reverse the situation. But as the popular saying goes: “three things that, once done, never come back: the spoken word, the thrown arrow and the water of the river that passed under the bridge”! Think of the teenage girl who got pregnant falling into her boyfriend's birdman's noose who just wanted to have sex with her. Without maturity, now she will have to raise the child alone, jeopardizing her school life and even suspending her dream of attending college. Repentance comes, but it is no longer possible to change this situation. What about the young man involved in drug trafficking. He imagined, as every criminal thinks, that he would never fall into the hands of the police. He is forced to remain silent during the interrogation, under penalty of earning the label of informer and running the risk of dying after gaining his freedom. In the cold of his cell, he will remember his parents' advice and imagine going back to the past to say no to the proposal to enter this rotten and violent world of criminality. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Trust in the Lord, God's righteousness is perfect

 

Luis Alberto Alves Sometimes, when we are facing difficulties, there comes the feeling that we are alone in the midst of the gale. At this time, many servants of Jesus Christ share their concerns with the ungodly, as if they were able to resolve this issue. For want of wisdom, we forget to read and meditate on what is written in Psalm 43, verses 1/2 : "Give me justice, O God, and defend my cause against an unfaithful people. Deliver me from treacherous men and for, O God, art my strength..." Affliction makes people lose their serenity. At this point they make rash decisions, as Esau did when he accepted the plate of lentils in exchange for his offspring. The hunger impacted him in such a way that it prevented him from seeing what would happen in the future. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Watch out for false prophets! 5

Luis Alberto Alves These pseudo artists are nothing but whitewashed tombs. They have a beautiful image, worked by their record companies and even a competent press office, but they are tools of the devil. The business is to make a lot of money, abusing the faith of the servants of Jesus Christ. Some gospel singers wear clothes similar to cabaret prostitutes. The lyrics written by professional composers abuse the choruses, which in studio jargon are called “bubble gums”. In other words, a set of sentences that quickly penetrates the mind of the listener. Producers use keyboards, woodwinds and guitar solos, in a minor key, to convey a sense of sadness and reach the listener's feelings. It is in this set that false prophets act. In Gospel music, true worshipers still resist in songs with spiritual lyrics and melodies. No theological errors. Completely attuned to the Heavens. The Holy Ghost testifies. When you hear something that brings you pain, bad thoughts, or sinful desires, throw the CD away. It's a message from the darkness in his house. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Watch out for false prophets! 4

Luis Alberto Alves Secular labels go to great lengths to fill their coffers with cash. As they know that most evangelicals are terrified of piracy, they invest heavily in promoting artists. They present them as little lambs, without vices or that they do something wrong before the Lord. But as a journalist, where I've been working for 34 years, I have correct information that this is not exactly how the wheel turns. In the case of women, some have sex with boyfriends or even lovers, drink, smoke, and others even use drugs such as cocaine. Men, on the other hand, weigh heavily on the “sisters” who believe they are facing a true worshiper. After the presentation in the churches, from the pulpit they observe who will be the next victim of their small talk. It is nothing new that visits to the dressing room end up in the hotel room where they are staying. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Watch out for false prophets! 3

Luis Alberto Alves We have reached the 21st century. The same thing that happened to the North American evangelical is happening to the Brazilian. Several denominations started to present their services as shows. They are more songs than the Word. And when preaching, pastors only bring sugar water. No talking about sin, not warning the flock about misconduct. Everything light. They are the wolves sent by Satan quickly infiltrating among the evangelicals to distort the Gospel. The spiritual hymns of the Christian Harp are left aside, they are branded as outdated. Cool is a gospel hit that imitates the world even in the arrangements. All under the gospel stamp. It's gospel carnival, gospel pancadão, it's suffering (which in the 70's was called brega) gospel... .. So my brothers, don't get me wrong for writing something so hard. But I prefer to please Jesus Christ and his Words of life, than something beautiful on the outside, but whose interior is full of garbage sent by Satan. It is up to conscientious evangelicals to open their eyes and realize that not all that glitters is gold. Stay alert with the Gospel songs you hear, find out who is that someone who recorded these songs. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Watch out for false prophets! two

 

Luis Alberto Alves Smart, the Globo group hired pastors, interested only in their image in the media, to explain which words circulate in the evangelical milieu, so that composers could write lyrics without scandalizing the flock. The CDs that come out of this You Adora label have nothing of adoration, just prank. Globo's interest caught the attention of multinational record companies such as Sony, Universal (it has no connection with Edir Macedo) among others. All in the same scheme. Record Gospel songs to earn big money. For this, it does not matter that wolves dressed as lambs enter the houses of evangelicals with the image of excellent worshipers, when in fact they are just singers, competent in the art of releasing their voices, using lyrics of dubious content. In the United States, which until the middle of the last century, had a great commitment to God, worship was something serious. People had reverence. But starting in the 1960s, the system realized that Gospel music was consumed by evangelicals. Begins the massification of worshiping God. Worshipers receive singing lessons, have clothes chosen by a fashion specialist, musicians (mostly secular) are hired to join the bands. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Watch out for false prophets! 1

Luis Alberto Alves On the other hand, I am happy that the Word of Christ is showing the reality of a world that is increasingly committed to the enemies of our faith. A scholar in the art of Mass Communication, says that the System's great strategy is to make fashion, something that puts its survival at risk. This is done in different sectors of society. If any bar begins to be successful selling a certain type of snack, soon the big chains will follow to imitate it and make that novelty something common. The same happens in the car market. An example of this was the jeep Troller, after having great success on a handcrafted assembly line until it was bought by Ford, which in this year 2021, took it out of line, killing an excellent vehicle. Several evangelicals gave Glory to God when Rede Globo decided to create a label to record evangelical hymns. They didn't realize that it was the System investing money to make worship a fad, without any intimacy with Jesus Christ. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Watch out for false prophets!

Luis Alberto Alves In Matthew 7:15, Jesus warns Christians against the rise of false prophets. He said, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Today it has become fashionable to be evangelical. It's something top. The most disturbed person on the street, at school, at college, at the company now sells the image of a lamb to deceive the rest of the herd. Gospel music is a terrain with a large number of false worshipers. Interested only in fame and money, without any commitment to Jesus Christ. When examining the lyrics of their songs, theological errors are visible. They're just self-help hits. Without any anointing. They have nothing to worship, just deception. To complicate matters, they mix worship with idolatry. Without any reverence they use the pulpit of some denominations as a show house. It is as if worshiping Jesus Christ is something extremely commercial, to obtain achievements. Worship is something serious, it requires commitment and great commitment to God. It's not opening your mouth and just letting your voice go. It requires intimacy. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Do not rebel like Moses and Aaron so as not to lose your blessing -4

 

Luis Alberto Alves Or do you just use it for nonsense (the internet is full of them)? How many times have you prayed to God for forgiveness for your failures? Don't make the mistake of entering your promised land anyway. If it is to glorify your name, satisfy your ego, leave your vanity on high, God will allow you to see the blessing, but not enjoy it. Moses walked 80 years leading the people through the desert and in a hesitation, when he was close to reaching the destination promised by God, he faltered, became angry with the Lord and lost his place in the line. Maybe that's your case. You have been walking with the Lord for a long time, but you have wavered too much, being irresponsible to God. Open your eyes. What happened to Moses and Aaron can happen to you. Do not exchange your salvation and dwelling in Gloria for anything in this world! Luis Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Do not rebel like Moses and Aaron to not lose your blessing -3

 

Luis Alberto Alves How is your intimacy with God? Do you have more time for the world than for the Lord? Did the pleasures of the world take Jesus' place in your heart? Has money become your master? He comes first, as do social media, world music, indecent clothing, swearing, threats to his family, the short fuse in traffic, putting other drivers and pedestrians at risk. Death wishes to your boss and co-workers, do you harm your children, wife, husband verbally and physically, are you a Christian only inside the church, outside of it are you the same as a demon-possessed person? Don't you have more time for God? How many times have you used this Whatsapp to tell someone about Jesus? Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Do not rebel like Moses and Aaron to not lose your blessing -2

 

Luis Alberto Alves In Deuteronomy 1/34-7, the Lord makes Moses climb Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, before Jericho, and from there, from on high, God showed all the land of Canaan from Gilead to the city of Dan, in the North. And the whole region of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, the Mediterranean; the Negev, the southern lands and the entire region that goes from the valley of Jericho, the city of Palmeiras, to Zoar. And in verse 4 of this text the Lord said to Moses: "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, when I said to them, I will give this land to your seed. Therefore, behold, I make you see it with thine own eyes, yet it shall not cross the river (in this case the Jordan), thou shalt not enter it." So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there, in Moab, as God had commanded. He was 120 years old. My brother and sister meditate on this Word. Many imagine that they will enjoy the promised blessings and after hearing the song by Marquinhos Gomes, who has a promise from God, does not die before it is fulfilled. If you don't rebel, they will come true in your life. Otherwise you will die without entering the so dreamed of promised land. So it was with Aaron and Moses, two great men of God.

Luis Alberto Alves The Peace of the Lord to all. Let us be careful about our actions. In Numbers 12/27/15, the Lord warns Moses that he will die, as well as his brother Aaron, as both rebelled together with the community of Israel in the waters of the desert of Zin. In this passage, Moses and Aaron disobeyed God by not honoring His Holiness before the people. What stands out in this text is God telling Moses to contemplate the land that the Lord had promised to the people of Israel, where milk and honey flow. And the Lord said, as written in verse 13, "And having beheld him, thou shalt be gathered unto thine, like Aaron thy brother." In this text, Moses, a man of great intimacy with God, looks at the blessing that God had said, long ago that he would enjoy, but now, because of his rebellion, it would not reach his hands.

Resist, persist and insist 7

Luis Alberto Alves Satan knows that if anyone prays without ceasing and seeks the power of the Lord every day, he will soon experience the miracles of God. The dark strategy is to pour dirty water into your dreams. Often using family and relatives or even servants of God, weakened in faith. It's easy to spot someone in this situation: she doesn't pray anymore, she doesn't attend services very often, and she rarely reads the Bible. In case you are included in this group, meditate on what is written in Luke 18/3 “There was also in that same city a certain widow and she went to him, saying: Give me justice against my adversary”. We need to pray always. Being in the presence of the Lord constantly. Prevent spiritual laziness from reaching us. We can never be dependent on the prayers of others. There are spiritual tasks for you to do. Nobody quenches one's thirst by drinking water for him. It's setting aside a few hours of the day or night to bask in the presence of Jesus Christ. This is the secret to Resist, Persist and Insist and earn your blessings. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.
