The need to go

Where there is a serious difficulty, our first impulse is to seek the Lord and say:Lord, help me!

Usually the first thing we do is run around for help and allow the Lord to one side. It costs us to trust Him But we trust God when the sky is so serene as when the stormrages.


God speaks to us more than we think. Perhaps it allows to go through a difficult circumstance to awaken us from apathy or a situation where we have not given God the rightful place. And he warns us.


When you trust in God, do not despair, prays and waits in silence until he shows youwhat you should or should not do.


The Word of God says in 2 Chronicles 16:9. God knows who trust in him, their eyesthroughout the whole earth.


The expression "the eyes of the Lord" corresponds to the perfect knowledge that God has everything what is happening at every moment in our hearts.


God help us to trust Him for everything and at all times!

Before any test or difficult situation, go immediately to our good God and Father. He loves us and wants to help. Lift our eyes to God, because He comes relief.

Actual occurrence in 1892

A 70 year old man was traveling by train. A young college student sat by his side reading a science book, while the old man read a book with a black cover.

The college student finally realized what the old man was actually reading, it was the Bible and it was opened to the book of Mark. Without much formality, the young man interrupted the old man’s reading and asked:

- Do you still believe in the stories and superstitions written in that book?

- Yes! But this is not a book of beliefs, this is the Word of God. Don’t you agree?

- Of course not! I think you should try learning more about history in general. This way, you would know how the French Revolution, which occurred over 100 years ago, revealed the myopia of religion. Only uneducated people still believe that God created the world in six days. You should try to learn a little more about what scientists have to say about that.

- Really? And what do scientists say about the Bible?

- ‘Well’, said the college student, ‘I’m getting off on the next stop, but give me your card and I will send you some material by mail.’

The old man carefully opened his jacket breast pocket and gave his card to the college student. When the young man read what was written on the card, he put his head down and left feeling smaller than an amoeba.

The card said:

"Louis Pasteur - Director of the Scientific Research Institute of the École Normale de Paris"

Bp. Julio Freitas

Today Bend your knees

What matters is not whether or not to bend your knees and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

The important thing is that you do here, before you leave this world to go into His presence.

Because ultimately one day have to bend your knees to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, but if you did during your life, and will not do much.

"That in the name of Jesus every knee should in heaven (angels) and earth (men) and under the earth (the dead), and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord for the glory of God the Father"  (Philippians 2:10-11)

If you decide today you will find a savior who will receive you with open arms. He will accept as his son and you will enjoy eternal life with His presence.

If, however, your pride will not let you decide, just have to confess to the same God, but not as Savior but as Judge. No longer will you be able to have more opportunities, he will condemn you forever.

There is no question that you want, but you decide. If you decide today, confess your sins and ask Jesus into your heart. Not only will you be the most important decision of your life, but also your heart be filled with peace, love and joy.

"I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and opens the door, come in to him and dine with him and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)


God Bless you.

Let it Dry

Mariana was very happy to win the gift of a tea set of blue. The next day, Julia, his girlfriend, came very early to invite her to play. Mariana could not go out with her mother since that morning.

Julia then asked Mariana to lend him his tea set for her to play alone in the garden of the building in which they lived.
She would not give his new gift but at the insistence of her friend decided to emphasize the care of the toy so special.

Upon returning from the trip, Mariana was shocked to see her tea set on the floor. Also missing some cups and the tray was broken.

Mariana crying and very upset with her mother vented mom what do you see Julia made me? I gave him my toy; she neglected and left everything on the floor.

Totally uncontrolled Mariana wanted to go to Julia's house to ask for explanations, but his mother affectionately said, "Daughter, do you remember that day when you left with your new white dress and a car splattered with mud spent? When you reach wanted house immediately wash your grandmother dressed but did not leave, do you remember what you said your grandmother? "
She said she had to let the mud dry, because then it would be easier to remove.

That's daughter, anger is the same, let dry first anger, and then it is much easier to solve everything.
Mariana did not understand very well, but decided to follow the advice of his mother and went to see the TV.

A while later rang the doorbell. It was Julia, with a box in his hands and without preamble said, "Mariana, remember the spoiled child of the other street, which often annoys us? He came to play with me and not let him because I thought you would not care tea set, but he became angry and destroyed the gift you've given me. When I told my mother she was worried I buy another just like for you. Hope you're not mad at me. It was not my fault! "

No problem said Mariana, my anger and dried!
And giving a hug to his friend took her hand and led her to her room to tell the story of the new dress she had been soiled with mud.


Never feel anger reactions while. Anger blinds us and prevents us from seeing things as they really are. This will avoid committing injustices and earn the respect of others for your position correctly measured and compared to a difficult situation.

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.(Ecclesiastes 7:9)

Be angry and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. (Ephesians 4:26-27)


Always keep in mind: Leave the rage to dry ...

God bless you abundantly.

Different

Many people have gone through several tribulations and suffered persecutions in their own homes, at school, work and everything because of their Faith. 

They have not chosen to follow the flow this world follows and because of that they have been victims of nasty jokes, laughter and even verbal attacks.

How many times have you heard: “There goes that fanatic! Why don’t you go to nightclubs? There is nothing wrong in going; You’re still a virgin? What century do you live in? Don’t be a afraid, it’s just a small lie, it’s not going to hurt anyone, your mom will never know;

You’ve never had a boyfriend? Enjoy your life, it’s your youth, you’re dumb!”

My friends don’t be afraid to be different, assume your faith and don’t be influenced.

You must be strong and firm, if you’re not then you will always be a puppet the devil utilizes. Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated, don’t be afraid to be excluded from your group of friends or criticized because you don’t do what the rest of the world does, your reward will be bigger than you can imagine, literally.

Don’t forget that those who persecute you are still searching for happiness, and so they turn to drugs, drinking, boyfriends, nightclubs, and live a crazy life. But you don’t need any of those things, because you’ve found true happiness in Jesus.

“The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. “ John 15:19

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Who controls your life?

Sometimes we go through situations we did not expect or our plans changed at any moment.

When this happens, we always follow a totally opposite to the one imagined.
These changes make us leave our comfort and take the road toward what we want but in an unknown direction.

Always pretend that everything goes as planned. And when this does not happen, the question arises: Why? Why did God let this happen to me?.

All we decided to follow Jesus; we give our life to Him, to have control of it and what it does. Leads us to a happy life but to reach it have to go through things that do not understand.

Sometimes we think that everything that happens to us, we only bring bad things, but we must not forget that beyond what we believe there is One who has controlled our lives and that every situation that we apply something to teach us in our daily live, each circumstance will make us stronger, make us think before we act, we will 100% dependent on God, we will rely more on Him, we will be grateful to him, strengthen our faith, to make us more loving Lord Jesus, and much more will they learn.

Sure at the moment, we do not think that, just see our problems as giants and forget that God is much bigger than any problem and he remains faithful and just to help us as long as you leave act.
After a while we reflect and see that everything that happened left learning that we can now see more clearly.

Some time ago I went through an unexpected situation and I was very surprised, when I was sad, but God is so loving that spoke to me and said, "Everything I do is for a purpose but do not see it yet, the final result is really the best, do not be discouraged I am with you, move on me by your side, I fought with you, do not deviate from my path and got here. I'm shaping your future, trust me, is what I do and never do anything to hurt you, on the contrary will be a wonderful thing than you imagine. "


After that, when I do not expect things happen, I remember his words, I cling to Him and always manage to get ahead, if you believe that what is wrong with you now, let me remind you that you gave your life to a wonderful God rather than make you suffer (as many think) wants to make you very happy, and you know why? Because He is your Father and you are his Son Beloved, and would never do something that will hurt them, he alone will do wonders in your life. Only trust Him, obey it, accept the help He gives you, take your hand and never let go of it. Rest assured that if you do that your victory is sure.

Look at the beautiful words that He has left for you:
"For I know the plans I have for you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jeremiah 29:11)

Keep them in your heart and move that God is with you and everything you can through Christ who strengthens you.

God Bless you.

Remember the duck?

During the holidays, two siblings went to visit their grandparents, who lived in the countryside.

The boy made a slingshot to play in the woods. He was always practicing, but never hit the target.

One afternoon, he saw Grandma's pet duck.

Without thinking, he grabbed his slingshot, aimed at the duck and shot him in the head, killing him instantaneously. He was shocked and very sad! He began panicking and decided to hide the dead duck in the woods.

His sister, Beatrice, saw everything but didn’t say anything to their grandparents.

The next day, after lunch, the grandmother said:

- Beatrice, let’s wash the dishes.

But, she said:

- Grandma, Philip told me he wanted help in the kitchen.

She looked over at him and whispered:

- Remember the duck? – So, Philip washed the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children would like to go fishing, but Grandma said:

- I’m sorry, but I need Beatrice to help me make dinner.

Beatrice smiled and said:

- Okay, but Philip said he wanted to help today too.

She looked over at him and whispered:

- Remember the duck?

So, Beatrice went fishing and Philip stayed to help.

After several days, Philip was still doing all of Beatrice’s chores, until he finally could not bear it anymore. He confessed that he killed the duck to his grandmother.

His Grandma hugged him and said:

- Sweetheart, I know ... I was at the window and saw everything, but because I love you, I have forgiven you. I was just waiting to see how long you were going to let Beatrice boss you around!

Whatever happened in your past, whether it had to do with lies, deceit, bad habits, defilements, whatever it may be, you need to know that God was at the window and saw it all happen.

He knows your life and He wants you to know that He loves you and that you're forgiven.

He's just wondering how much longer you’re going to let the devil boss you around.

God is just waiting for you to ask Him for forgiveness because not only does He forgive, but He also forgets.

The price you must pay is to have faith that God will forgive you.

Go ahead, start making a difference and remember: God is at the window and He knows everything!

God's will won’t be revealed to you unless you act by faith.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Second Deluge

Earlier this decade Noah God visited him and said:

Once again, the earth has made uninhabitable, overcrowded and full of selfishness. I must act urgently.

Build an ark and gather two of every living being, as well as for a woman and a man chooses the best match. You have 6 months before you send from heaven torrents of water for 40 days and 40 nights.

Six months later, the Lord, Noah revisited, found him taking a matecitos in place where it should be the ark.

-Noah Where is the Ark? Soon I will send rain, said the Lord.

'Forgive me, my God, times have changed. Noah said. I needed a municipal permit, for construction of the ark; I have had to perform many procedures, for several months.
During that time, my neighbors gathered in neighborhood assemblies, made roadblocks to protest the violation of the rules of coexistence, argued that would bring pollution problems.

I had to get a permit to cut wood enough, associations for environmental protection have prevented me from cutting down the trees necessary, arguing that some animal species in jeopardy, and everything related to global warming. I tried to explain that on the contrary, all that wood would save many species, nothing has worked.

At the same time try to collect pairs of different species, so the humane society forbade it under the guise of enclosing wild animals in spaces too small, I am accused of acts of cruelty as they too have their rights.

The Ministry of Labor also found me some questions. Volunteers keep me from hiring workers without social protection, while unions forbid me to use my own children; I do it with skilled workers.
Finally, Customs and the Department of Wildlife, accuse me of wanting to move across borders with recognized species in danger of extinction.

My God, you know I have always obeyed; you may need ten years to comply with your request.
Immediately, the clouds disappeared and the sky shone a splendid rainbow.

Noah looked skyward and said, 'Lord, then you will not destroy the Earth?

'No need, men are responsible, God said.

What a sad reality, every day we learn as it is undermining the foundations of our home, despite the large number of organizations dedicated to preserving life on our planet. They spend millions of dollars and seemingly everything goes from bad to worse.

The rules and laws imposed by men, we just have to live on bureaucracy, not to do anything for anyone, not for ourselves.


God sends many messages of our self-destruction, news of all kinds tell us that climate change can cause major disasters and we can be immersed.

"Despite all the setbacks he experienced Noah, God has an ark for salvation, at this time is inviting you to climb, I'm already in it, will you come?"



For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

Half or Whole?

Reading the blog of Bishop Macedo, I came across a thought that left me shocked. The share is to understand what he spoke:

A man comes into the church. He has no legs, but he can crawl...

He makes his way up to the altar...
Amazed, everyone watches in silence.
With tears welling up in his eyes, he asks the pastor:
- Pastor, do you think God would accept half of a man?
Everyone wonders what the pastor's answer will be.
At that moment, God spoke through the pastor and said:
- Yes, God accepts half a man, if he surrenders himself wholly to Him, but He does not accept a whole man who is only willing to give half of him!
How have you presented yourself unto God?
 

After reading it I thought about what is delivered in half or wholly to God.

When meditating, I realized that it reflected what was my life for some time and if you wonder why? I will tell you.

When people spoke to me to accept Jesus as my only Savior, and so change my life, I liked the idea very much, I was excited, but there was a small problem (or so I thought) it was not just asking and expecting things God, but also to give my life totally to Him

I started attending church and there, men and women of God guided me on how to give my life to God.
The main thing was to accept it as my only Lord and Savior, and subsequently abandon the things that displease God, like lying, hatred, bitterness, resentment, bad temper, envy, bad words, selfishness, and so on.

Yeah, it was easier to say than done, my way to accept him as my God, but it remained the same, still lying, hating people, saying bad words, my character was awful nervous.
I was just a person claiming to have God, but my life was completely different from what it should be, in fact, was far from having an intimate relationship with God, my attitude did not reflect a person born of the Spirit of God was apparently only a Christian, not even intended to have a commitment to God.
Because my life did not change was the same and in some ways worse, went to church just to go, my life remained a mess.

After some time, came problems that simply were too much for me, left me depressed and out of breath to carry on, my burden had become very heavy and difficult to bear.
It was at that moment I decided to go back to that Almighty Being so wonderful and he had often heard such a great way to transform lives.

This time take seriously give my life completely to God, stripped of evil, and love to follow it.
Sure, it was not easy to abandon the old life he had led for years, but this time the decision to please God, was stronger than anything else and eventually succeeded.
There was a change from one day to another, was a process that resulted in a transformed life.
There were struggles, sacrifices, trials, temptations, but this time God backed me and that gave me the strength to keep going every day.

Now he has filled my life with joy, peace, love, joy, has completely transformed me, everything I was before, there is nothing, I am a new creature, he gave me one of the most precious gift is salvation.

I currently have my experiences to help people speak of God to those in need, proclaiming his Gospel, because there is a longing in me that just as He became a new person, you can change your life.

Do not "deliver" in half, not as I do not miss your chance to be happy, today and now, give your body, mind and soul to Jesus, He will take care of you and what you need.


And after this, will you still delivered to you given half or full? The decision is yours and nobody else.

"In regard to your former way of living off the old man who is corrupted by its deceitful desires, renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, created according to God in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:22-24)


... And to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:19)

Rescue!!!!

Last Sunday there was a meeting of youth from the Church, was a very healthy living, dancing prepared by young, dynamic and fun, not forgetting that everything was done with much love for our greatest spectator JESUS.
At the end of the event the pastor to read a verse from the Bible, though very short, had much meaning. It was just like the Bible says: "The Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions the heart."(Hebrews 4:12)

Well verse was:
"He was like a burning and shining ..." (John 5:35)

Told us that life is so young when they are with God, are like a torch, but when you are away from him vulnerable to the wiles of the devil and that is when the torch goes out.

As the pastor spoke to myself thinking of the many young people now are far from God and their lives are not what they were waiting.

And if you say and what we can do for them if they made that decision themselves?


If perhaps they were the ones who made that bad decision, but we've all made bad decisions or not? But despite that God's love for us helps us to move forward with Him, that is why we under the guidance of the Holy Spirit can do something for these young people who have fallen away from God.
Whether guiding them, telling them of the love of God, to return to the arms of your Father who both loves and wants to see them happy.

Maybe you know someone who needs Jesus can be your family, friends, acquaintances, and so on.

We can start by talking about how God has transformed our lives and given us salvation to many people, encourage them to put their faith and trust in God.

We live in a world in which many young people believe that God is anything approaching "old" begin to make a difference, show the world that even in our youth, Jesus has made this the most wonderful stage and not boring as many think.

To join, I invite you to rescue young souls for Christ.

They should know that there are solutions to all your problems, let us who proclaim the good news of our Lord Jesus, do not expect others to do so, initiate us and now.

See good

A man had married a year.During that time, his wife always ironed shirts almost perfectly.
One day in the office, he found that his shirt was badly ironed, creased on the back.
When he got home, his wife claimed the mistake, which had made him walk all day with sack.
The claim, the woman replied: "For a year I've done things as you like, and I never thanked her, but now I've made a mistake, I complain about it."

I've heard people say that the world is wrong, and say things which alarmed.
The media are interested in publicizing the tragedy. They speak of the thousands of heroes who save lives, those who are touched by God and his life changes completely, those addicts who rise from their habit, or so many missionaries who carry peace.
We can´t ignore that many things go wrong, but we can´t say that all is lost, as many claim.Where is life, there is God, and therefore there is hope.

How long do we not sick? Sometimes years, but when sick, we call upon God, whenever grateful for every day we were healthy.

Let's stop complaining and start thanking, let us see the bad and look good.


"The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light, but when your eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Beware, then, lest the light in you is not light but darkness. So, if your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the light will be all, as when a lamp shines upon you. "(Luke 11:34-36)
