Churches suffer workers unprepared for the fight

* Luís Alberto Alves

Often members do not realize how hard it is to keep a church running smoothly. They are important people in the gear of this work that Jesus Christ has placed in our hands to save souls that Satan tries at all costs drag to hell.

The problem starts when the workers go to regard this letter as a weight. Something bad. Few realize that Jesus came to this world to serve us and not for us to serve you. But most of the Christians misunderstand this attitude of our master.

They throw everything in the back of the pastor. In addition to spiritual, it must unfold to find solutions to something material. In certain denominations, the pastor needs to think twice before to warn the member. He can understand the conversation wrong and the solution turns strife.

Few servants interested in doing the work of God without seeking any benefit. Only for love, the caring for the souls threatened by darkness. A mercantilist gospel, most think only in blessings, how much money you can put into the account, leaving Jesus Christ aside.

What genre of music do you like to praise the Lord?

* Luís Alberto Alves

In the 21st century evangelical churches praise are in many styles. Not restricted to the Blues, as the names of the southern United States. Now has several songs in rhythm of Rock, Soul, Funk, RAP, MPB, Bossa Nova, Forro and Heavy Metal.

The Puritans were with nerves on edge. Since not admit praise out of the arrangements in Blues. They seem to have never had contact with the typical songs of Israel, whose pace is completely different from practiced here in the West.

Within the order and decency, Jesus Christ wishes only to be sincere praise, a worship that reaches the heavens. The letter needs to be well centered. You can not conflict with the Holy Scriptures. Otherwise it's something the world.

When something is grounded in the rock. The praise is beautiful, regardless of style. They are musical works that come from the heart, seeking only to please the Lord. Showing our complete dependence on the heavenly Father, who withdrew in the mud.

God's patience also just

* Luís Alberto Alves

When we read 2 Peter 2: 17-22, Jesus uses the disciple Peter to say, from verse 20 that ... "So if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is entangled again and are overcome, the latter end is worse than the first. "

Then the Lord continues: "For better for them had never known the way of justice than, after meeting him, volverem back, departing from the holy commandment delivered to them." With them came the saying true adage: "The dog returns to his own vomit; and the nut back to wallowing in the mire. "

In these words, Jesus Christ makes it clear that the person who met his love, lived his commandments, enjoyed his blessings and decided to return to the old life, full of sin and filth, it was better not to have known him. It should be the place where he could never dare leave.

This is a clear sign that God lost patience. There are people who refuse to continue in the presence of the Lord. Themselves ask that fall on their lives the Lord's anger. Sadly, this happens, especially these days.

Jezebel continues surfing within the Christian church

* Luís Alberto Alves

Today it is hard to look at women, especially young people, within the evangelical churches, and imagine that they are Christians. The behavior is identical to the world. The clothes mimic those used by prostitutes in luxury brothels to lure customers to their beds.

The makeup, nothing discreet, is another hallmark of those women who do not exude the fragrance of Christ, but the stench of Satan and his demons. Everything is done to attract attention during the services. When you kneel to pray is visible appear the underwear.

The language is similar or worse than women lost in the world. When advised by pastors or pastors rebel. They say that no one is allowed to give hints. They wear clothes they see fit. Everything in Jazabel costume.

This type of behavior shows that Jezebel continues surfing in large waves in most evangelical churches around the world. As pursued Elijah continues today in the wake of the pastors who seek to guide the flock in the Lord's path of righteousness.

Your mind is renewed in Christ Jesus?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Your mind is renewed in Christ Jesus or still dirty, with the same uncleanness from the time of his conversion? And your thoughts? Are life or death? Jealous of another's win or vibrates with the joy of brother who managed to turn things around?

If you fit the above situations, your mind needs renovation and urgently. Because you're still the old creature day he met Jesus Christ, but did not allow the master opened his eyes to see his Kingdom.

Some people are in the churches just doing number. No added quality, only brought more problems. They are rebellious and only open his mouth to destructive criticism. Never do anything for the Kingdom of God, only speak evil.

When Jesus told us through the Apostle John, that He makes all things new, this word is included a new mind. We can not continue with defeat and evil thoughts. We need to fill in the abundant life offered by God.

Sin is seductive, Christian care!

* Luís Alberto Alves

Sin is tasty and seductive. Use pretty packaging to remove the Christian presence. Deceives and intoxicates the senses. A person can not even reason to jump out of the boat used by Satan aiming to take the man or woman the abyss.

What man in his right mind would venture spend a night lying next to a luxury prostitute to, coveted by everyone? He entered the room, will sign the passport bound for hell, leaving the gospel of Jesus Christ aside and away.

also quote the seductive power of money. Imagine someone organized crime to search offering great fortune just for you to keep for a few days or months several bundles of money, which added reach millions.

Therefore the Christian must seek spiritual coating much prayer and fasting. Divert all you have bad appearance. Do not try to measure strength with Satan and his demons. Not every Christian is able to resist the seduction attacks.

Prepared to face the vengeance of darkness

* Luís Alberto Alves

Faith Christian life is filled with a lot of fighting. As it is written in the letter to the Ephesians, which says that our struggle is not against blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers spirits and forces of evil that dwell in the heavenly places.

But some people think that being part of the Lord's Army is only refreshment. Never go into battle. It is only in the hands of pastors and intercession groups. I inform you that the devil will attack you, for you today a part of the Light.

And to win the phalanxes of demons only with much prayer and fasting, and righteously, ignoring all temptations. You need to focus only on the Lord, not seeing the lentil dishes offered by Satan to try to remove him from the goal.

From the moment you accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, automatically enlisted in the Army of God. Do not worry that he will empower you. Put in your hands the spiritual weapons to defeat any kind of demon. Just a lot of faith.
