Who is in Christ does not look back - 2

* Luís Alberto Alves

Unfortunately some people, because of the struggles and weakness of spirit, get cold. It is in this context that the warm enters. It is someone who was hot one day, preached the Word, evangelized, picked up microphone and sang praises, went out in the streets in search of the lost. For lack of spiritual accompaniment, and lack of knowledge of a life on the altar of the Lord, faith weakened. It has become lukewarm, for it still has moments of spiritual warmth, and then the temperature of the spirit falls.

Satan cleverly throws his fiery darts to attain vanity of people. It presents the world as something good and beautiful. It sells the idea that it is not necessary to wait for eternal happiness in Heaven. Through drugs and depraved sexual life there is the possibility of having good moments here on Earth. It is when he insists on the false logic of the festivals of this world, where wrong is right and wrong right. Again Jesus Christ, through James, chapter 4, verse 4, rebukes the devil when he says: "Do you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever wants to be friends with the world becomes an enemy of God. "

The world of which Jesus speaks, are the evil customs adopted by the population. It is considered prostitution as a way of life. Crime as a way to make money. Drug addiction in search of peace and happiness. Sexual perversion in the search for pleasure to satisfy the desires of the flesh. If it rules as a rule of personal and professional conduct the bad as something good. To make matters worse, some Christians think they can serve God and the world. They are in the hands of the devil and imagine themselves free.

In Matthew, chapter 12, verses 43-45, the story of a man who was freed from an unclean spirit is described. But he hesitated and the demon came back bringing seven other spirits worse than he and the state of that person was worse than the beginning. The lime shovel is in 2 Peter, chapter 2, verses 20/22. In this text Jesus speaks of someone who got rid of the contaminations of the world through knowledge of the Word of the Lord, but returned to evil. The Lord says that this person should not even have known Him, because it is the same as the dog that returned to eat the vomit itself or the clean pig that has moved again in the lava to get dirty again.

Whoever is in Christ does not look back

* Luís Alberto Alves

It is sad for Jesus and for the servants of the Lord when the news of a brother or sister who resolves to return to the spiritual garbage dump from where one day came out to the light is revealed. This is common among artists, footballers or famous personalities. After some time they leave the presence of God to return to the martyrdom, disguised by satan of a false frame of light.

In a time of perverted gospel, with error taking the place of right, and people imagining that Jesus is their slave to serve all their desires, little is meditated on the Words of the Lord. Christ was emphatic in saying through Luke, chapter 9, verse 62 the following: "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God."

We all have a past. Sometimes little merry or sad. There are brothers who suffered in childhood, others in adolescence, some went through despair as adults; At last the marks left a spat on the soul. When we are freed, we can never miss this time of horror. Christ wants us looking forward. But when it comes to artists, for example, they try to remember the time of success, ignoring the terror of drug addiction, of life attached to prostitution, and the agony of living without peace of mind.

The warning of Jesus Christ continues. In Revelation, chapter 3, verses 15 and 16, He says that "He knows our works, He knows when someone is neither cold nor hot. How best it would be if this person were cold or hot! For being warm, neither cold nor hot, He is about to spit it out of his mouth. " It is cruel to hear those words from God. Before the true conversion, all of us were cold. But by knowing the love of Christ we become warm.

The wind

* Luís Alberto Alves

Wind can even carry the leaves, but never the roots.
It is God who sustains us and keeps us standing.
There is no wind capable of overthrowing whom God sustains and strengthens, and when the wind ceases it is God who renews the leaves and brings forth new and better fruits ... That is love, for God has such a beautiful way of protecting and loving us That we become tiny in the face of so much love.

Differences between God and the Devil 4

This behavior is common in witchcraft, where people order death or accidents against those they dislike. In their hearts this is not wrong. They only pay with the same coin. They practice revenge when Jesus Christ does not recommend this type of action to the servants, but pray, as written in Romans, chapter 12, verse 14, by those who persecute us.

Kindness is detestable to Satan and his followers. Because it is one of the qualities of God. Already ruinous is one of the marks of those who follow the devil, through the millions of sects existing in this world. In the rules of darkness the essential thing is to put out the fire with gasoline, instead of throwing water. To do all that displeases Jesus Christ is to fall into the sympathy of Satan, for he will never take action to remember the love of God.

These details described above in this text reveal why people do not like to hear the Word of God. They judge to be lacking obedience to the commandments by determining for the Lord. Rebel will never like obedience.

 This will be the game of satan until the day of the great judgment, when he and his demons will enter hell and there they will remain for eternity. For now, it will continue to try (because Jesus Christ does not try anyone) millions of people to adopt their behavior to confront the Lord, selling the false idea that the pleasure of this world is better than that reserved by God in the Highest.

Differences between God and the devil 3

This is why polytheistic religions have the presence of several gods, called saints, as did the Greeks and Romans before the birth of Jesus Christ. Each one responds for something: Aphrodite for the Greeks would be the goddess of love, who encourages the relationship with several people, because she herself was lover of the gods Ares and Hermes.

In the case of the gods, whether Greek, Roman or African, they always stand contrary to the commandments of Jesus Christ. In the case of Zeus, who would be the leader of the gods, and who today would be, in the view of the polytheists, in the place of almighty God, had several lovers and extramarital affairs. In this type of society, people who are not Christians adopt the same conduct as those entities. Even your mistakes.

In witchcraft, the same hierarchy prevails, with the gods trying to parallel the kingdom of God. Hopefully, in the view of the supporters of umbanda, candomblé and other branches of spiritualism, it would be Jesus Christ, which is not true, because God does not share his glory with anyone. To deceive the naive, try to divide the hierarchy into good and bad spirits. But they all have various faults and commit crimes.

That is why people involved with this type of religion refuse the commandments of Jesus Christ. In their minds, error is something normal, because their gods do them and for what reason should not they do the same? Hate would be natural, because their gods, indeed demons, have this feeling against those who prevent them from doing something. It's a Manichaean thing. One side is good and the other is bad, so I must annihilate what causes me discomfort.

In this spider's web people, without Christ in their hearts, become hostages of sick relationships, where they feel attraction for each other or else, but they can not stay together. Distant people miss and close is a pit of hatred, with physical and verbal arguments and aggressions. All in the style of darkness. What drives hell is hate, especially the work of God.

Compassion, which is to suffer together with someone, is something far from the view of satan. For people whose soul is held hostage by legions of demons, it is right to hit the next, preferably to draw blood or even life; To cause division among members of the same family through lies and gossip; To be selfish in every way, not to breach any kind of help to anyone, never to follow the commandments of Jesus Christ.

Whether in Judaism or Christianity, love and justice are present. That is why the junction of the Christian and Jewish faith is that it arouses anger in the worshipers of false gods. Judaism and Christianity are monotheistic religions. That is, they only believe in one God. Only to Him yield worship and praise.

In polytheistic creeds, the devil's finger appears in various forms. Because in the satanic cults are invoked the various demons that are part of the hierarchy of darkness. Because he can not be everywhere at once, as is the case with God, Satan sends evil spirits to do this dirty service and every one of them account for the evil deeds committed against human beings.
