Make no mistake!

"Make no mistake! Sometimes you think you have a lot of friends, but in fact, you only know a lot of people"

Satan knows that his end is near 3

When it comes to women, it also sells the image of someone super happy, desired by countless men and famous. But he can not find a reason for so many personal tragedies, abortions, and shattered sentimental life. There are countless such cases in Hollywood. Until the end of life abandoned in nursing homes or even dependent on drugs and alcohol.

In the view of satan man and woman need to be happy here in this world. Enjoy everything, even if you need to use criminal methods to achieve success. If it is necessary to sell the soul, all sacrifice is valid. The important thing is to achieve happiness. Everything is valid, including going over the next, or even ignore the family itself.

The devil is master is to create parties where he offers his trash in a beautiful packaging. Try to hide your intentions. It just says that spending a few moments away from God's ways is not dangerous. Just like a little bird about to fall into the trap, several people enter this trap and when they open their eyes, they are stuck in the mud.

I remember a boyfriend who was smoking the first marijuana cigarette at a birthday party. Playful and silly, he caught everyone in the street. In a few years he had already become a killer. Convicted, he spent a lot of time in jail. In the jail, she suffered all kinds of sexual violence. When he left, he had become a monster.

The devil used only a tiny bit of drugs and soon caught him in his hook. He had everything to shine in an honest life. But he ended up trapped in the enemy's clutches and his life became hell. This is the strategy of the enemy, when he visualizes the end of his trajectory in this world. After all, God did not create hell for humans, but for the devil and his demons. Unfortunately many took the place reserved for the dark spirits.

When it comes to honesty, satan immediately preaches that in Brazil or another country it is normal to steal, to corrupt, to take advantage. The honest, generally, dies poor, without accumulating many goods. Already the corrupt and armed criminals have the facility of quick enrichment, without any sacrifice.

Sells the false idea that using drugs is good. It rejoices, astonishes the sadness or any sign of depression, in addition to strengthening the body. Soon it stamps of lack who does not share that idea. It only omits the terrible crises of abstinence and the diseases caused by the consumption of drugs.

It also discourages positive attitudes, helping others, or having a heart cleared of anger, rancor, revenge, sinful desires, or the will to do wrong. In the view of the devil, kindness is synonymous with weakness and naivete. To win in life, you have to get over your neighbor. The important thing is that you get along. The rest of the hell.

As for reading the Bible, darkness will always work to discourage. It is useless time to delve into these rich words. He knows that the Christian informed in the Word of God will know the right weapons to fight evil. The devil's proposal is to keep the Christian in ignorance.

Another tactic is to show that bad things are good. Take the example of singers and artists involved in Satanism. Their lives are presented as very good. In the case of a man, he appears as a lover of several women, as does the rocker Mick Jagger, married several times and father of several children. Darkness conceals his dependence on heavy drugs and his inner conflicts, the fortunes he pays for his various sons and daughters.

The enemy of our soul knows that the end is near. Clever, he does not intend to go to hell alone. Try to get as many people as you can to keep you company. For that, he uses and abuses various strategies aimed at deceiving Christians and non-Christians.

Imagine a well-decorated and beautiful cake, the inside of which is stuffed with garbage. Such is the dish of lentil offered by the devil. Never sell evil in ugly packaging. He seeks to decorate and change the image to deceive the distracted.

Because he can not stay everywhere at once, he sends his legion of demons to watch over and pass on the final report on the lives he will try to take from the ways of the Lord. Skilled, it creates difficulties for the Christian to murmur, complain about everything, lose patience, fight and even deny Christ.

On top of the words that come out of our mouths is that satan will work and strategize to get us away from the Lord's ways. One of the signs emitted by darkness is ease. Nothing offered by the devil is difficult. Take the wedding as an example. By the commandments of God, the couple must have sex only after the marriage has been completed.

From the devil's point of view, the sexual relationship can already occur on the first day of courtship, with the argument that "one must try first, not to disappoint later." It then launches the argument that it is carefree to marry, as it involves documentation in a notary's office, church expenses, and reception to the guests. Beloved, none of this is necessary.

Leave it or not in the hands of God? 4

When I went to the room I asked Jesus Christ to accompany me and stay in my bedside listening to my words of anguish. I did this for a long time, especially when the hunger knocked on my door. I tried to cling to the Lord's arms for madness not to squeeze his haunches around my neck and die.

It may sound dazzling, but Jesus Christ fulfilled most of the requests I made in those days. In the following years, little by little, his promises became reality in my life. The secret of this is to keep the faith. Even when you see nothing before your eyes, in the darkness that the enemy sometimes puts before us.

At these times, quite rightly, we think we are the worst human beings. Someone despicable, not worthy of the Lord's affection. It is at this moment that Jesus Christ shows how much he loves us. Pour out your refreshment and fill your sorrowful and sad heart with peace. We feel that we have life even in the midst of the gale of tragedy all around us.

It may seem crazy, but leave everything that torments you in the Lord's hands. Trust him, just like the three-year-old who leaps into the arms of his father or mother knowing he will not fall to the ground. Put in the Lord all your anxieties, fears, uncertainties, doubts and even lack of faith. Jesus Christ will comfort you and do your best to raise you up and keep you on the path that will lead you to eternity.

It seems that talking to God, which we can not see, does not inspire our confidence. You need something carnal. See it and touch it or else hear its voice. Then the conversation with other people comes on the scene. Sometimes we make the mistake of sharing intimate subject matter, which only God could hear.

Even knowing the prophecies that the Lord will fulfill in our lives, we take the attitude of chatting with people, even though they will not be able to solve anything. Does anyone have the condition to cure the cancer, the harmful effects of the HIV virus or even make a quadriplegic return to normal body movements? Jesus Christ can do this.

It's hard to believe in something we can not see! It is cruel to open our lips to speak to someone we can not see, touch or smell. I've seen myself in this situation, when I was without family. Alone in the house, I tried to talk to God and anyone who saw me in that situation would think that the madness had taken over me.

Sometimes he would put two plates on the dinner table. I would pull the chair and tell Jesus Christ to sit with me. At lunch or dinner he would have long conversations. He said how hard it was to be alone. Not having anyone to share my experiences and even my fears.

Unlike the beginning of the journey of Jesus Christ in the year 30 of our era, sophistication today helps in the onslaught of darkness. Scourges can come from television, movies, the internet, music, cell phones, computers, or electronic magazines that exist by the thousands on the internet.

In the time of Jesus the world revolved around agriculture. Everything was rudimentary. There was no electric light, paved streets, automobiles, paper books, radio, television, movies, asphalt on the streets, clothing in industrial production, advances in medicine. Even the birth was natural, because there were no resources for cesarean section. ATM, credit card or even cold clothes as we know it today, were also fiction.

The enemy attacked Christians using the Roman empire, through the violence of their soldiers, and the torture of murdering opponents hanging them on the cross to the death. Even so, the Christian of that time relied on God, even when he saw hungry lions devouring him.

It could be classified as pure faith. Today, perhaps because of the advancement of technology, the Christian relies on crutches offered by technology. Instead of talking at length with the Lord, we triggered our technological arsenal to chat with Internet friends. We send photos, and even our panic or
Anxiety to confirm when we need to vent.
