There are bad evangelicals! 4

 

Luis Alberto Alves You know that neighbor who beat his wife every day, addicted to drugs, drinks, games and didn't pay anyone, but after accepting Jesus Christ as savior, he underwent radical change, becoming an example of how to be a member of the Lord's Army. He renounced the lentil dishes and accepted to suffer, like Paul, for God's sake. So if you still play the world's game, inside the church it's "holy or holy", but outside it's worse than the unbeliever be careful that your salvation runs the risk of being lost and you enter the route to hell. If you are a chameleon Christian who molds himself to every situation, to please the world, be smart. Don't think that your angelic face, but your heart soiled by the desires poured out by satan, will deceive Jesus Christ. Do a retrospective of your life, after accepting the Lord, and see if your attitudes really please the Lord? Open your heart before God, if you are weak, ask Him for strength, otherwise the darkness of hell awaits you. Unfortunately! Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves It is just like the businessman who, when he was a slave to the devil, won several bids by bribing authorities and after being freed from the force of hell, he faces this process acting within the law. After all in Jesus Christ we are new creatures and we need to behave within this context. Otherwise we remain in darkness. Unfortunately, there are evangelicals who have not yet been truly converted. When they need something, which is difficult, they return to the rotten world they left as a means of opening the door, which within the legal framework is difficult and time-consuming. As the popular saying goes: “light a candle for the devil and another for God”. They think that on the great day, when we are going to present ourselves before the Lord, we will succeed in deceiving God. We will forge false tears and with false tears Jesus Christ will have mercy and release access to Heaven. He will be strict. And many last-minute converts who have faithfully accepted and kept the Lord's commandments will enter eternity. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves It is in this context that Jesus Christ warns that not everyone who says Lord! Sir! will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. God wants us completely. People who have really renounced sin, the sinful ways of worldly society. It is someone who feels in the flesh, every day, the weight of saying no to the dishes offered by the darkness. Is easy? No! This is why Jesus also said that the Kingdom of God is conquered with effort. It is always trying to leave the desires of the flesh in the background. It is the ex-musician of a rock and samba band that no longer misses the hits he played in the past, he made money, but also kept him in the devil's clutches. She is the woman who earned a lot of money and glamor from prostitution, and after meeting Jesus Christ, behave within the standards dictated by the Master, including being a woman of one man and free from any practice that reminds me of the quagmire from where Jesus rescued her. .

Luis Alberto Alves How many evangelical employees within companies behave worse than the ungodly? Don't they corrupt themselves, don't steal, don't sow intrigue in the search for promotion? When evangelical police officers do not practice the Law of Talion, an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth, when arresting a criminal? How many young evangelicals and even more mature women do not commit adultery, even if they are girlfriends, engaged and even married? They justify that the Spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak, for this kind of behavior. How many pastors and workers in the House of the Lord treat their relatives as if they were slaves and even violently? How many evangelicals, who within the church are considered above suspicion, enter into fraudulent schemes to evade taxes that must be paid to the government? How many lawyers, also evangelicals, who accept to give false testimony, interested only in the money paid by the client and freeing him from the weight of the Law of men?

The Word of Jesus Christ is fulfilled, of that I never had a doubt. But when we enter an evangelical church, at the time when we accept Jesus as God, we imagine that all the brothers inside are good, that they want the good for the next. Anyway, we will be in a world far from evil, from bad people.

Jesus Christ, in the Gospel of Matthew 7-21, emphasized: “Not everyone who says to me Lord! Sir! He will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.” We generally think that all evangelicals are great people. They will never commit any unlawful act against their neighbor.

At the beginning of the journey with Jesus Christ, we dive into the sea of ​​naivety. We believe in the perfect world here on Earth, in which Jesus Christ himself stated that he lies in the evil one, is temporarily under the dominion of Satan and his demons have free passage to attack people.

Luis Alberto Alves My tip for you my brother or sister is to pray to the Lord so that He never lets your soul miss the dark past from where Jesus Christ rescued you one day. Avoid situations that bring you this kind of memory. Run away from anything that looks evil. Do not cultivate the friendships of the rotten season. Treat them politely, but stay away from the world they insist on staying in. Ex-bank robber cannot cultivate friendships with criminals, the same applies to drug users, prostitutes, homosexuals, lesbians, sorcerers, embezzlers, corrupt. In Jesus, we are new creatures. Therefore, it is not worth insisting on what in the past caused us much grief and damage. If you feel weak, ask the Lord to keep you hidden in the hiding place of the Most High, as written at the beginning of Psalm 91. Be honest with Jesus Christ. Tell Him your weaknesses and ask for guidance on how to handle this situation. The Lord will cover you with his blood and keep you out of the devil's spotlight. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves The devil is so judicious that he notices details. If the person indulged in prostitution with young or married women, thin or fat, white or black or oriental, single, divorced. Anyway, he will try to offer this type of dish, as he did in the past. The proposal is that this person returns to the garbage from which Jesus took him. In the beginning, everything will go well. Something natural so as not to arouse suspicion that he is heading for the slaughterhouse in hell. Even his feelings are neutralized. For a while this Christian, still weak in faith, imagines that it will only happen once and then everything goes back to normal. Like a glass of beer, he will taste it several times, until he sinks a lot. The devil's tactic is to keep this person from realizing that he is sinning. It's just a natural process. Enjoying life. Without an intense life of prayer and communion with Jesus Christ, the end of this story will be tragic. After some time, she will return to the old rotten world from which Jesus Christ took her. In some cases, without the strength to return to the Gospel. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves Another example is the drug user. Jesus freed him from this addiction, but the devil knows this person's weakness. He will work on creating situations that keep him close to this environment, and even close to people who consume these illicit substances. When he goes to a party, some junkie will approach him to offer cocaine, marijuana, crack or other type of drug. The strategy is to avoid this type of friendship and location. Be vigilant not to fall into this kind of temptation. The devil will not offer the alcoholic marijuana, because his addiction is to drink. Realize that Satan attacks at the specific point. In the place where the person will feel the weakness and for a few moments he will be able to think about giving in, thinking that he will have no problem or famous “nothing to do”. See the example of the man who, before conversion, spent his money on prostitution. The dark ones will play hard to create situations where that person goes back to dating women to satisfy his sexual desires. Even at work or school, darkness will put someone used by this kind of spirit for this sin to be committed. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves In certain cases, a woman who was a lesbian will not be attracted to a man. The demons will try to keep her trapped in the past, when she was only able to have sex with women. Even married, the sex life with her husband will be attacked by satan. For this to happen, the devil will explore the spiritual gaps and try to act there. If this person has not been completely freed from this type of evil spirit, he will suffer a lot to remain in the presence of Jesus Christ. The strategy is to ask the Lord to strengthen you and seek to flee from everything that arouses evil desires of the flesh, as written in 2 Timothy 2:22. In this text, he emphasizes that we need to follow righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. In this specific case, it is not advisable that the man or woman who has come out of the rot of homosexuality or lesbianism continues to frequent the same type of environment, where these practices are considered normal. It is necessary to keep distance from the place that will always awaken the sad past that this person had. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves With this person, the devil will not tempt him with drugs, adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, intrigue, selfishness, envy and various kinds of sins. The enemy knows that games are his weakness. It's what stirs his emotions. When he passes in front of a lottery shop, his heart races, his hands sweat... In this case, the devil will create situations in the family, with friends, colleagues at work and at school or college to induce you to play. That's when someone appears saying that they made a “pool” of the accumulated Mega-Sena. If he is experiencing financial hardship, the demons will suggest that the money is from God. For those who do not have this type of weakness, after being converted to Jesus, no type of game attracts their attention. Take the case of the man or woman that God has delivered from homosexuality and lesbianism. The devil will work in this area of ​​their lives. Gay or lesbian colleagues will appear, first as company, and then try to drag them to the trash they came from. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves Contrary to what some preachers say in pulpits, there is no such thing as a super-Christian or a super-Christian. We are all flawed. In Ecclesiastes 7:20 it is written: “Nevertheless, there is not a man so righteous on the face of the earth that he knows how to do good without ever sinning!”. The devil knows our limitations. Since he cannot be everywhere at the same time, he sends his demons to watch us and find out where we are fragile, to start doing his dirty work of trying to lead us away from Jesus Christ. Repetitive, he will never change his tactics. He realizes that there are people addicted to gambling. Even converted, the desire to hide, buy a lottery ticket or even enter a card game, for money, bet on the animal game. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves It is not news to anyone that the devil tries to take the Christian away from the paths of eternity. Insistent, he never gives up attacking the servant of the Lord. You will use all kinds of weapons to achieve this objective. He does not rest, nor does he miss any opportunity, however small. With the exception of children who were born and raised in evangelical homes, and even then, in adolescence and youth, the devil has already detected their weakness. Anyone has a place of fragility, which works as something that can take away their peace, for seconds. That's where the devil will work until the day that that person, if he keeps to the straight paths of the Lord, goes to Glory. As long as he is here on planet Earth, he will continue to be attacked by the darkness, whose objective is to remove him from the presence of God. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.
