Limited edition

* Luís Alberto Alves


A young man asked, "Grandpa, how did you live before?
- Without technology
- No airplanes
- Without Internet
- Without computers
- No Plasma or Led TVs
- No air conditioners
- Without cars
- No cell phones, tablets, notebook and laptop? ".

Grandpa replied:
"As your generation lives today:
Without prayer,
Without compassion,
Without honor,
Without respect,
Shameless,
Without effort,
Without responsibilities,
Without modesty "
We, the people born in the last century, are blessed.

We are a unique and more understanding generation because we are the last generation to have heard their parents, grandparents and uncles. We also respect parents, teachers, older people.
We are a LIMITED edition! We are less every day. Enjoy it while you can. Learn with us.

And keep in mind that we had a lot of work to build a WORLD that is being destroyed today for lack of what we once had in abundance, LOVE TO NEAR.

Who is the man?

* Luís Alberto Alves

A man is the most beautiful part of the creation of nature.

The first to come to this world.

He sacrifices his dreams for a smile on his parents' face.

He spends the money out of his pocket on the gifts of the woman he loves, just to see her smile.

He sacrifices his entire youth for his wife and children working late without complaining.

He builds the future of his loved ones by taking loans from banks and paying them for the rest of his life with a lot of sweat and work.

He fights a lot and still has to endure the groans, screams and often the incomprehension of his wife, his children, his boss and his mother, even if his life is a total commitment to the happiness of others.

If he leaves, he is careless.

If you stay, you're a slacker.

If you scold your children, you're a monster.

If you do not scold them, it's irresponsible.

If you do not let your wife work, she's insecure.

If you let her work, she's a bum.

If you listen to the mother, there's mommy.

If you listen to your wife, you are sentenced.

If you fall into temptation you are a womanizer; If you resist, you're a fag.

If crying is a weakness, if you do not cry you are insensitive.

Therefore; respect all men you know in life ...... You will never know everything and how much it has sacrificed ..

Soon the mechanic finished communicating and came to my rescue. It charged a low price and after a few hours the car was repaired. It may sound like bullshit, but if he had no faith that that problem would be solved, he would spend the afternoon and evening on the street in an area full of criminals.

Faith requires patience. You should never let your heart suffer any kind of contamination, especially of doubt. To think that God has abandoned him. The devil's tactic is to scare the Christian. Stop looking at Jesus Christ. Seek to work your mind, to focus on the problem, fueling the bonfire of evil, from which God has set you aside.

That's why people without faith are nervous, impatient. In the midst of any problem they begin to speak evil, to make accusations against all, saying that it is a zero to the left, one chosen by God to suffer in this world. Even in simple matters, they try to dramatize. Some end up stopping at the emergency room because of the pressure it triggers.

The one without faith is pessimistic. They call the Christian crazy, too optimistic. Of someone dreamer. Lunatic who insists on not seeing reality. These kinds of people are experts in criticism of the pastor. Nothing to him is correct. They even distrust Jesus. They justify what miracles the Lord did in the past. Today, the source dried up.

I tell you my brother or sister never to lose faith. I do not know your problem. But I believe that God will solve it. There is nothing impossible for our Lord. Just keep believing. Look forward. Stay away from the vultures, people who complain about everything, even the wind. Pray, fast, and read the book of Psalms. There you will find refreshment and the solution will soon arrive. Do not leave communion. This is how we feed our faith.

As we go through these moments, we feel the weakness shake the legs, the throat dry, the tears invading our eyes and the impression that the heart seems to skate, reducing the beats. It is hard. It is at this time that the true Christian needs to place his trust in God. Put away discouragement. Jump in your arms.

When I live this type of experience (pastors also have problems) I try to look to God. Do not focus on the problem, but on the escape valve. A few days ago I went through something unusual. My car broke on a holiday. I did not get nervous or I said Jesus badly. Just said Glory to God.

No open workshop. But inside me, my faith said that something good would happen. I got out of the car. I went to a bar to use the bathroom and then eat something and drink some water. I returned and continued in harmony with the Holy Spirit.

After a few minutes, I hear the Lord speak to me to talk to the parking attendant, where I stopped in front of him. I attended to the suggestion. I explained the problem and that I wanted to keep the car in that place and then I would pick it up to fix the problem. The person in charge of the establishment did not accept my request and said that next door would start running a workshop.

At this time, several Christians criticize Jesus Christ. They claim that the Lord is ungrateful. He is blind, he does not see that terrible situation! Finally, we pastors are leaning against the wall to explain the reasons why that member experiences terrible experience. At this hour, we show in the Word why, but everything is useless.

Unfortunately, most Christians of this 21st century seem like a spoiled child who missed the lollipop he earned as a gift. They love God when they are in abundance. If the wind of hunger knocks on your door, Jesus Christ assumes the role of villain. He is an executioner, does not see the terrible picture that that servant attacked.

Even vessels of honor made slips of faith. Sara, in her early 90s, smiled to hear from the angels who visited her husband Abrahão in the tent that she would be a mother. It is when the celebrated phrase was said: "Is it impossible for God, Sarah?" It is not easy for my brothers and sisters to continue burning by this flame known by faith.

But we must never forget, that without faith we do not please the Lord Jesus Christ. I am not childish enough to believe that problems do not draw our peace. Imagine someone hearing from the doctor that a test was positive, revealing the presence of very serious illness, putting at risk their own survival.

She was sad and left and returned to a service three years later. He did not greet me, staying in the last chairs of that temple. He knew that the boy chosen as husband was criminal and violent, beating and threatening to death all his family if the relationship was over.

This example shows how many people make wrong decisions, not exercising faith, awaiting Christ's response to their petitions. It is momentary. They imagine God is a pastry cook. He asked at 3:00 a.m. and a minute later everything was resolved.

But what is faith? I always play with my sheep that it is easy to have faith when the refrigerator is full of food, especially sweets. When the checking account never knows negative balance and the manager lives tormenting you to sell overdraft, credit card and all kind of investment, because of your good financial situation.

So it is easy to say that you have faith in Christ. And otherwise? I imagine you open the refrigerator and there's only water in there! And when are you forced to split the omelette into several pieces to get blended for several days? Or even feeling the pains in the body caused by hunger. I know this because I have already experienced this terrible experience.

Look within yourself and respond honestly: is there faith within you? Instead of telling me through this text, affirm to Jesus Christ that your faith is genuinely genuine. It is not based on feelings. It's something that sprouts inside your spirit.

In these more than 20 years of walking, half of them as shepherd of souls I perceive when people are hypocrites with the Lord. They fill their lungs and respond that faith overflows within them. Until the gale of a problem, often not very serious, for the arrival of the criticisms.

The most exalted say that God no longer hears their cries. They even think about letting go to church or even walking alongside Jesus Christ. The reasons are innumerable. In the sentimental area, the Lord is guilty of the man's or woman's bad choice to seal the marriage.

I remember a young sister, many years ago, who at the end of the service asked me to pray for the pair of rings. I then questioned her about her fiance's absence. Before I began to talk about it, the Lord gave me a vision where I saw it shrouded in a hurricane. I understood the message of Jesus Christ and refused to do that prayer.
