What is your willingness to pray on the Mount?



* Luís Alberto Alves

When we look at the Bible, we realize that many important moments of Christianity occurred in the mountains. We took the example of Moses. God gave him the tablets of the Ten Commandments on a hill, where he was in the Lord's company for 40 days and 40 nights.

The Abraham's faith was tested in Moriah, when he took the son of promise, Isaac to offer a burnt offering to the Lord. The long walks, he did not trust in God. Also a lot, Elijah defeated the 850 prophets of Baal, Jezebel doormats.

Another important lot in the history of Christianity is of Olives, where Jesus Christ made the final prayer before being arrested hours later to end up crucified on the cross. But what is the lot of symbolism? This discussion today yields controversy in churches.

As a Pentecostal Christian, what is your willingness to pray in this kind of place? Go to with joy or just to meet a ritual? When you pray a lot, really empty or only utters empty words without any value before God? It takes you to review their positions on this subject.

The power struggle between Christians



* Luís Alberto Alves

The most disputed place in a church is the pulpit, especially in full membership services. It is the showcase for ego satisfaction. At election time, wrong, some denominations invite politicians, most often, corrupt and full of sin, to bring the Word.

Within certain evangelical churches, the power struggle is fierce. The target of attention is disputed. There are pastors, bishops and reverends who dispute the place to slap. They want their moment of fame to kill vanity seat. Usually they never bring something edifying.

There are churches where ever this space is given to anyone. The pastor or the local bishop always do the preaching. Never let someone else take his place. Ali vomits rules and even advice that Jesus Christ never happened to anyone. What counts is to take the place of fame.

In fact, what is at stake is the moment of fame. It is seen by many people, without question. After all during the preaching of the pastor or bishop are not interrupted. They talk more than an hour, sometimes words without any content and harmony with God.

Revenge can not live the Christian heart




* Luís Alberto Alves

Because of the open wounds in the past, it is common for some Christians to leave the heart full of desire for revenge. Especially when questions relating to marital separation. Is a woman or man, still carry within themselves the will to do justice.

I notice certain sisters praying to Jehovah down his hands on the head of ex-husband who exchanged them for another. The prayers, intentions are visible to see the other hang, in, their view, pay for the suffering that they made.

I understand. It is easy to forget the pain of betrayal, for example. Or even the humiliation of suffering leaving because of faith. Need to work like a slave to sustain the children and keep the finances on time. Or even someone left side, he fell ill.

When we left everything in the hands of Jesus Christ, our great master knows how to handle every situation. God's justice is perfect. Not arrive before or after, but at the right time. Nobody cheats. People are free to plant, but required to participate in the harvest. Sometimes bad.

Pride is the abyss of many Christians





* Luís Alberto Alves

When I converted to Christianity in 1996, I imagined that within the evangelical churches not find proud. Only charitable people, interested in the welfare of others. The mistake. Gradually I saw the claws out of lambskin wolves.

Some sisters owe nothing to those not professing the Christian faith. Or look on your face, especially when they are the car steering wheel zero kilometer and designer clothes. They try to sit away from the worst dressed man brothers to avoid contamination with excessive faith.

Before the cult love to talk loudly saying he bought the last phone model, traveled to the coveted beach of the Pacific, shopped in Paris, skied in the Swiss Alps, attended the Indianapolis 500.

As a pastor I view this very behavior. Are people infected with the virus pride. They are distant from the love of Jesus Christ. They imagine themselves saved, but walk briskly toward hell. In the army of Jesus Christ there is no place for proud.

It's best young dance and sing inside than outside church



*Luís Alberto Alves

Satan is investing heavily in recruiting young people to fill your home: hell. Every time there are new synthetic drugs. Sexual perversions condemned by God in the book of Leviticus every day turns into fashion.

The wrong takes the place of right and society dominated by the evil applauds, despising the right. Parents right find her daughter sleeping and having sex with her boyfriend in the house. Instead of showing that this is not right in the sight of Jesus Christ, accept the error.

This same kind of parent, most often, reproves their children to participate in church activities related to praise. The most radical say there is no place for listening to gospel music, but the Word. But no praise is preaching lecture. Christian does not need to talk.

It is preferable the young dancing and singing in the church, in praise of Jesus Christ, than to remain in the dances performed by the world where there is no lack drugs and prostitution and even deaths shot. Finally many parents are lacking in wisdom. They pay to see the evil hold of their children.

Wolves in sheep's clothing litter the Gospel of Jesus Christ




* Luís Alberto Alves

Circulating on the Internet a video of a pseudo pastor stating that there is no need for temples to gather. Just having the company of a pasture anointed for the work to be done. Worse, for convenience many lost sheep, adepts of the lack of commitment embark this canoe stuck.

In the same footprint that individual suggests the anointing of the family, demanding that the woman with marital problems disrobe and receive the anointing oil on the body to bring her husband back and wedding catering. Another absurdity totally unbiblical.

Currently there are several cases where false shepherds suggest behaviors that have no connection with the teachings of Jesus Christ. They are wolves in sheep's clothing, only interested in money these poor victims who despair topam do any negotiations to obtain the blessing.

Because of such people, the gospel of Christ went on to found several barriers in several countries. Are irresponsible littering the name of God. Demons disguised as angels of light. Theirs is advisable to escape, if possible not hold or touch.

You get angry with Jesus Christ?




* Luís Alberto Alves

It may seem silly, but there is nervous Christian with God, especially new converts. Accustomed to the facilities of the world, imagine that the Kingdom of God all work this way. They ask today and today receive, without any sacrifice.

Accustomed to the world, where any means serves as justification to get to the end, the same rule shall apply in relation to Jesus Christ. They realize that is not how it works in the hands of the Lord. He gives the blessing at the right time.

It is newly converted novelty leaving the church after short stay. Their intention is to win everything quickly and then fall in the world. But no one can fool our God. He knows what is hidden in the corners of our hearts.

For you can reach the blessings of God reserved for you, to pay price of prayer, fasting and rather communion with God. One of the most important steps is to set aside anxiety. Stop rushing Jesus Christ, he knows the right time to deliver what is yours. Just rest.
