Even the most beautiful and coveted woman in the world, feels the nuisance of PMS (Premenstrual Tension). There is no escape. She arrives and moves the mood, leaving everything different around her, even giving the impression that she will be dirty for a few days. And because of this, in Judaism, on menstruating days, women are considered impure.

Or the next pregnant woman to give birth. How many pains do not cause the contractions, announcing that the baby is coming? If it is a natural childbirth, the pains in the operating table, until the concretization of that birth, will play it in the worst of the worlds. Until the doctor removes the child and shows that a new life has come into the world.

These are situations that everyone will pass through. No executive comes to the position of becoming president in a company, without going through the terrible test of solving complicated situations. Is it more difficult than at the request of shareholders to close branches and announce countless layoffs, including the men and women who head their homes?

Imagine the eve of this ad. Try to sleep and know that within a few hours, hundreds or even thousands of people will be out of work, burying dreams of young employees or abort the time of employees who are about to retire. It is not easy to get through this funnel, without feeling anything in the heart.

Trapped to memories, we imagined that we were happy then. After all, everything was going well. The accounts were under control. Red never showed up in the finances, leaving the credit card and special check aside. We sailed in a calm sea, illuminated by a beautiful sun.

Like a child, we Christians get used to the bonanza. We think that the whole course of life will be like this. Only calm, equally eternal spring, when the gardens are always flowery or summer, where the heat is the trademark, leaving the cold clothes guarded.

We forget the famous phrase of Jesus Christ: "In the world you will have afflictions ...." How good it would be to live on this planet, without feeling the bitter taste of those terrible days! Look at the sky and see no dark cloud, announcing rain, causing floods and catastrophes.

Children and adolescents act this way. They think that life is an eternal party, where everything is only joy. They will never face charges. The dreams will be fulfilled without any dose of sacrifice, just like ripe fruit falling from the foot. But this is not the way the wheel of time turns.

Everything conspires against you. Sleep is not enough. Because the worries do not give you rest. The pains attack your body, especially in the spine, which channels the negative discharges of the nervous system, because inside the cord this important channel receives all the impact of what is lodged in the mind.

It's terrible. You feel the weight of the insulation. Few people come to you. Even in social networks, no one is willing to talk to you. It is the same patient afflicted with severe illness, which even doctors and nurses seek to keep away.

It's not easy. You pray, cry, fast, go to the mountain, but in your vision, nothing seems right. In this hour, the good times lived in the past return swiftly in your thoughts. Relive that era, where he lived a small interval of happiness, when money was full in the checking account.

Remember financial stability. The salary was deposited on a monthly basis, the good medical covenant shocked any concerns about his health and his family. The shopping was backed by the excellent food voucher and the weekends were packed with trips or lunch at good restaurants.

In the gale that often strikes the Christian, there is the impression that Jesus Christ left us alone in the boat of life and we will face the enemy with no weapon in our hands. At the time of crisis, we focus on the problem instead of looking at God.

That's the rule. No matter the intensity of the test, we think only of how to get out of that terrible storm. Sometimes we fail to go to church, to pray constantly, to read the Bible, and even to sing songs of worship to the Lord.

It is not easy to feel the heat and cold of the desert. Only those who have been there understand perfectly what I am describing. The feeling is awful. We feel the worst of the worst. It seems that we are scum, because the friends disappear and even the relatives.

That's when the huge pineapple is in your hands and with a blind knife, you'll try to peel it. Nothing helps in this hour. If you are washing dishes in the kitchen, the glass dish will slip from your hands and it will crash on the floor, so will that crystal glass, a wedding gift.

Another form of this Evil Army's role is to encourage homosexuality, be it male or female. In a sophisticated way, satan stuffed this cake, whose interior is garbage, like a lifestyle. It distorts the Word of God when it says that God is love, leaving out the rest of the phrase: "but it is justice."

There are cases of marriages that have come to an end when one of the partners decided to go and live with a man or a woman. However emotionally prepared, any man or woman who is changed by another in this kind of situation will feel the thump.

God in 1 Corinthians 6, verse 9/10 says, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither immortals, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive or active homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor alcoholics, nor slanderers nor cheaters will inherit the Kingdom of God. "

In this case the Christian with Giasin's behavior will call Jesus Christ radical or homophobic. Is God, in this kind of problem, stupid and we sinners are the smart, knowledgeable of the truth? Some say we are in the age of Grace and God is merciful. Yes! When the
We know.

Sometimes this evil army appears in drug addiction. This is another serious problem. No father, mother or son or daughter to see someone in the family strung on marijuana cigarettes or in the powder of cocaine or heroin or any other kind of drug.

It's terrible because it destabilizes the family. The junkie leaves the house, stays days or months distant, without giving any news. Or when you're in the house, you steal or even steal things to make money and keep addiction.

The Giasin, in this case, seek to ignore the faith and go to the confrontation, in some cases even chasing away the dependent chemist. He does not look at God, he fixes sight on the problem. He refuses the Word of the Lord, that He continues with ears open to the cries of His servants.

At this hour the power of prayer must prevail. It is to act like Elisha, trusting in the help of Heaven. It may seem impossible, but it arrives. God has no pleasure in the suffering of his servant. But the enemy will tinker with the emotional to try to overturn what is left of faith.

There is the Army's case of marriage destruction. The tactic of these evil spirits is to attain the feeling by mistreating the man or the woman. Hit this key until one of the two parties divorce or leave home, leaving behind children and the achievements they both achieved in the time of happiness.

It's sad to see a marriage come to an end. The ruin of a union, the collapse of the home, which once was synonymous with love and peace. You talk to both of them and realize that neither of them takes the blame or remembers when the destruction began. They were not attentive to the signs that evil had issued announcing their arrival.

In this case, one of the mistakes is the couple leaving the prayers in the background. The devotional becomes flash. Many do not even go to church or read the Bible. The concern is to accumulate treasures that in this world will be eroded by moths or stolen by thieves. God was a museum piece. It is no longer invoked.

Like Elisha, you have to act fast. Proceed in prayer when you realize that something is not right. Stop overvaluing each other's mistakes, but highlight the virtues. Try to open your mouth to speak positive words. In addition to always invoking the name of the Lord.
