A text worth reading , will be worth your minutes standing here ... (PARA LER EM PORTUGUÊS, CLIQUE AQUI)

Brothers without the death of the old man on the cross with Christ , there is no deliverance from sin , and sin is not crucified and annihilated, there is no deliverance of the sinner . We need to acknowledge and confess . Christianity is Christ and anything else . Jesus did not come into the world to make us rich , but to make us holy . Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord .
"Christianity " adulterated is the most effective and dangerous instrument of Satan against the Christian church . He looks like the real , the real name is , is the true appearance , but cancel the cross of Christ . For Christ sent me not to baptize , but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, it does not nullify the cross of Christ . 1 Corinthians 1:17 .
The Brazilian people are a people very mystical , so the tragedy of our time is not skepticism , but faith in anything, I believe it happen around the world. People believe in mystical objects even inside the church, to bring 'good look', I stay wondering what it came from! When a man turns from God is not because he does not believe in anything, but he believes in everything. Only one thing is worse than believers who do not believe : " Christians who believe that believe ." But everyone is Flushing in the inability to obey. That is why our society has lost respect for Christian churches because of the inconsistency between what Christ teaches and which people live . And we know that it is through the true church , which is His body, that Christ changed the world . The true church necessarily impacts the world. It is literally impossible the world not to see Jesus Christ when He has a body on earth . And who is the person of Christ within him has no way to hide , because there is a manifestation. Standing up , he departed thence to the land of Tyre and Sidon . Having entered a house, wanted anyone to know , however , could not hide. Mark 7:24 .
True Christianity is based on a person: Christ. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid , which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11 .
Jesus Christ before He became flesh , and be visible to thousands of people , was the Truth was what is , and always will be regardless of any human consensus . We must bear in mind that Christ is the sovereign of the universe , therefore, is not we who determines the facts .

If the Scriptures say that Jesus is sovereign , and we believe that He is , then , no escape : those who do not obey God, is rebellious subject to judgment . They prefer to believe that this is a delusion . Therefore , antagonize the Creator , despising the judgment and the love of God . The danger for the Christian is not the increase in income , but the decrease of the character . The kingdom of heaven is not an elite club . The sky is admitted only by the blood of Jesus. You can not buy a title of the kingdom in the sky , as if purchased in any city . For what the law could not , in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin , and , in effect , condemned sin in the flesh , sin . Romans 8:3 .
Attentive to " Christianity " around, and induces a culture that fosters self-delusion that we are Christians because we adhere to a Christian church and Christian practices . The teaching that faith does not result in character and consequent actions come directly from the Devil . The Deceiver is also the emphasis on " cheap grace " and induction in a reduction of Christ and His work to a utility god . The illusion of being a Christian without obedience to Christ is diabolical . Becoming a Christian involves our whole being . Peter said to Jesus on behalf of the apostles in Matthew 19:27 Then Peter told him : Behold we have left all and followed thee , that is , for us ?
The tragedy of modern humanity is that they completely ignores the true Christianity , and fooled accepting almost any kind of imitation and counterfeit of true faith . Speaking of " Four Spiritual Laws " in " decision for Christ " , or ask people to " accept Jesus " without the inclusion of the sinner, preach the death and resurrection of Christ is false . Without the death of the old man, the man remains a sinner and service to the Devil , filling the churches of unregenerate . Are people who do the worst with the best of intentions . But the pure and true Christianity is Christ , the cross , resurrection and sanctification .
True Christianity is based on a person: Christ. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid , which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11 .
Peace

Cristianismo falso

Um texto digno de ler, vão valer seus minutos parados aqui...
Irmãos sem a morte do velho homem na cruz com Cristo, não há libertação do pecado, e se o pecado não for crucificado e aniquilado, não há libertação do pecador. Precisamos reconhecer e confessar. Cristianismo é Cristo e mais nada. Jesus não veio ao mundo para nos fazer ricos, mas pra nos fazer santos. Hebreus 12:14 Segui a paz com todos e a santificação, sem a qual ninguém verá o Senhor.
O “cristianismo” adulterado é o mais eficaz e perigoso instrumento de satanás contra a igreja cristã. Ele se parece com o verdadeiro, tem nome do verdadeiro, tem aparência do verdadeiro, mas anulam a cruz de Cristo. Porque não me enviou Cristo para batizar, mas para pregar o evangelho; não com sabedoria de palavra, para que se não anule a cruz de Cristo. 1 Coríntios 1:17.
O povo brasileiro é um povo muito místico, por isso a tragédia de nosso tempo não é o ceticismo, mas a fé em qualquer coisa. Quando um homem volta as costas para Deus não é porque ele não crê em nada, mas é que ele crê em tudo. Somente uma coisa é mais tola do que crentes que não creem: “crentes que creem que creem”. Mas todos se nivelam na incapacidade de obedecer. É por isso que a nossa sociedade perdeu o respeito pelas igrejas cristãs devido à inconsistência entre o que Cristo ensina e o que as pessoas vivem. E nós sabemos que é por meio da igreja verdadeira, que é o Seu corpo, que Cristo muda o mundo. A igreja verdadeira necessariamente impacta o mundo. É literalmente impossível o mundo não ver Jesus Cristo quando Ele dispõe de um corpo na terra. E quem tem a Pessoa de Cristo em seu interior não tem como ocultar-se, porque há uma manifestação. Levantando-se, partiu dali para as terras de Tiro e Sidom. Tendo entrado numa casa, queria que ninguém o soubesse; no entanto, não pôde ocultar-se. Marcos 7:24.
O verdadeiro cristianismo se fundamenta em uma Pessoa: Cristo. Porque ninguém pode lançar outro fundamento, além do que foi posto, o qual é Jesus Cristo. 1 Coríntios 3:11.
Jesus Cristo antes de se fazer carne, e de ser visível a milhares de pessoas, era a Verdade era o que é, e o que sempre será independentemente de qualquer consenso humano. Temos que ter em mente que Cristo é o soberano do Universo, portanto, não somos nós quem determina os fatos.

Se as Escrituras afirmam que Jesus é soberano, e nós cremos que Ele é, então, não tem escapatória: quem não obedece a Deus é rebelde; sujeito a juízo. Eles preferem crer que isso é um delírio. Por isso, hostilizam o Criador, desprezando o juízo e o amor de Deus. O perigo para o cristão não é o aumento da renda, mas a diminuição do caráter. O reino dos céus não é um clube de elite. No céu só se é admitido pelo sangue de Jesu. Não se pode comprar um título do reino no céu, como se compra em qualquer cidade. Porquanto o que fora impossível à lei, no que estava enferma pela carne, isso fez Deus enviando o seu próprio Filho em semelhança de carne pecaminosa e no tocante ao pecado; e, com efeito, condenou Deus, na carne, o pecado. Romanos 8:3.
Atento ao "cristianismo" por ai, uma cultura que induz e favorece a autoilusão de que somos cristãos porque aderimos a uma igreja cristã e a práticas cristãs. O ensino que a fé não resulta em caráter e ações conseqüentes vêm diretamente do Diabo. Do Enganador vem também à ênfase na “graça barata” e a indução ao reduzimento de Cristo e Sua obra a um deus utilitário. A ilusão de ser cristão sem obediência a Cristo é diabólica. Tornar-se cristão compromete o nosso ser total. Pedro disse a Jesus em nome dos apóstolos em Mateus 19:27 Então, lhe falou Pedro: Eis que nós tudo deixamos e te seguimos; que será, pois, de nós?
A tragédia do homem moderno é que ele ignora completamente o verdadeiro cristianismo, e se deixa enganar aceitando quase todo e qualquer tipo de imitação e falsificação da fé verdadeira. Falar de “quatro leis espirituais”, em “decisão por Cristo”, ou pedir às pessoas que “aceitem Jesus”, sem pregar a inclusão do pecador na morte e ressurreição de Cristo é falso. Sem a morte do velho homem, o homem continua pecador e a serviço ao Diabo, enchendo as igrejas de não regenerados. São pessoas que fazem o pior com a melhor das intenções. Mas o puro e verdadeiro cristianismo é Cristo, a cruz, a ressurreição e a santificação.
O verdadeiro cristianismo se fundamenta em uma Pessoa: Cristo. Porque ninguém pode lançar outro fundamento, além do que foi posto, o qual é Jesus Cristo. 1 Coríntios 3:11.

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31,32
Many teaching we get in these two verses. I will look in this: "If you hold to my teaching..."
To believe in Jesus is more than to know about Him. It is more than to know what He is able to do. To trust in Him means to abandon our beliefs, even when we "believe" they may be came from God.
Many times we were taught about God but few of us look at Bible carefully to know if we were taught right, we use to believe because we use to believe!
When Jesus calls us, He says come and trust in me like I'm, even (and I dare to say, frequently) this believe means to abandon our on view point about Him. How many time we use to question our on faith? We have our faith and we always think be right.
John 7:27 shows us people confused about if Jesus was or not The Messiah, and why? Because a common sense in the time, used to say that when The Messiah come, nobody would know where He would come from and Jesus, even showing great miracles, amazing teachings and uncountable signs, was knowing by everybody, His birth city, parents and family making Him not fulfill 'the common sense'.
what it means, Patricia, you can ask me?
It means, dearest reader, if we day by day, do not seek God, and obey His word more than religion and common sense, we are going to lost the real Jesus, and what is more important, salvation! Some times, we see Jesus in people that we don't think be "someone of God" and this kind of thought block us to listen God. We use to listen and read "that preachers we like" and few time we dare to question them, we just listen! Jesus said: If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.John 8:31,32.
To hold His teaching many (many) times, will means be against common sense, religious traditions and culture.
We are near of a big american commemoration, Halloween. Some churches have bringing it into its temples cultivating witches, monsters and many kinds of bad stuff, just because 'it is our culture'. Brazil has many similar things, what people call folklore and I call blindness.
But, what matter is, that we have to be free and this freedom only come from obey Jesus and His word. To keep our salvation we have to stay living Matthew 5. Loving those who persecute us. Forgiving those who hurt us. Helping the needy.

I have seen the church of 21 century. This is the most rich church of all time, and to our shame and sadness, the 21 century church is that has less impact and influence in the society. How is it possible? Maybe it is possible because people and leaders of this church, look for become similar to the world. Our clothes, life style, language, and habits in almost nothing differs of the world. We have the same desires, we have the same plans, we look for our own will, we look for be known by our greatness, our diploma in big universities. The 'dream' of big part of people that are called christian, is the same dream of those who aren't.
It is rare listen young from our churches say that to dream in become missionary, pastor our be known for forgive, love and live like Jesus. They want to be celebrity! If be pastor, they want be at TV, our to be a "gospel rock' star". Resigns, altruism aren't words of our vocabulary!
Church, we have to wake up. We have to come back to Jesus life style. More of Him and less (too much less) of us.
To be a real christian, we need fast, turn away. We have to review our concepts before it guides us to too far that will be impossible to come back.
Come back church, come back!

When You’re in Deep

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 18:06:00 -0300

“They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep” (Psalm 107:24, NIV)

The scripture says is Psalm 107:23, “They that go down to the sea and do business in deep waters, they will see the wonders of God.” Friend, you and I were created to do business in deep waters. In other words, we’re not supposed to have little dreams or little plans. We are supposed to have big dreams. We are supposed to go out into the deep things God has for us.

But understand, when you’re out there in the deep waters, you can’t touch the ground. You can’t see the shoreline, and at times, it can get a little rocky. You may not always see how things are going to work out. But, the scripture tells us that deep calls to deep. In other words, God is the one who has called you to the deep waters. He is with you, and He knows there are deep things on the inside of you. Remember, in deep waters, you are not alone. God is with you, and He’s causing those deep things inside of you to come forth.

If you feel like you are out in the deep today, if you feel like you are overwhelmed, remember, you are in the right place and God is with you. You will see His wonderful deeds in the deep, and you will fulfill the plan He has in store for you.

Let´s say together: Father in heaven, I surrender every area of my life to You. I hunger for every single thing You have in store for me. I choose to trust You out in the deep waters knowing that You have good things in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Do not abandon your hope, Yes He know

God Knows You Intimately..... Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Every day, your hair drops. Yet, God knows how many hairs are left on your head. And He also knows how many are growing back! He knows because He bothers to count them again. When it comes to you, He always has time for every little thing about you.
So when Jesus said, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered,” He was not exaggerating. He never exaggerates. He means what He says and He says what He means. So for the Lord to say that the very hairs of your head are all numbered means that He wants you to know that He is very interested in you and has intimate knowledge about you — your body, family, finances, relationships… everything in your life!
He knows the pain you have been having in your body. He is aware of the financial worry which you have been keeping from your family. He sees how your nasty boss is treating you. He understands the hurts you have been keeping in your heart. He hears your heart’s cry for a miracle baby.
Your heavenly Father wants you to know that as long as something concerns you, He does not overlook it.
God knows you intimately. He knows every small problem you are worried about and every single burden you have. And when you approach Him for help, He has all the time for you as if no one else exists. That is how valuable you are to Him and how absorbed He is in you!

Ecclesiastes 8:12 Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time , I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

It isn't all

Harvest is Coming

“I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field yield their fruit.” (Leviticus 26:4, AMP)

God has set up seasons in our lives. It’s easy to get frustrated when our dreams aren’t coming to pass on our timetable, but every season is not harvest season. There are plowing seasons. There are planting seasons. There are watering seasons. Sure, we would love for every season to be a time of increase left and right, good breaks here and there. But without the other seasons, we wouldn’t be prepared. For example, it’s during the plowing seasons that God brings issues to light that we need to deal with. He’s getting us prepared for promotion.
If you’re not making as much progress as you would like, the key is to not lose any ground. Don’t go backwards. Hold your position. Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that, you are passing the test, and God promises that your due season of harvest is coming. Be encouraged because your appointed time of increase, favor and promotion is on its way, and He will fulfill every dream and desire He’s placed within your heart. Remember, harvest is coming!

Help is on the Way

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:16:00 -0300

“...With us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.”(2 Chronicles 32:8, NKJV)

I’ve learned that when the enemy attacks, God reacts. God doesn’t just sit back and think, “Well, I wonder what’s going to happen. I wonder what they’re going to do.” No, God goes to work. You are His most prized possession. It says in Psalms, “God is close to those that are hurting. God is close to the broken hearted.” God knows when you’ve gotten a bad medical report. He knows when you’re struggling in your finances. He knows when you’re being mistreated. You may not see anything happening, but you can be assured that Almighty God is not only aware, He is at work. He already has the solution. If you will stay in faith, at the right time, He will release a flood of His power, a flood of healing, a flood of restoration. He will not only bring you out, He will bring you out better off than you were before!

Pray with me...
Father, thank You for being my help. I know that You are with me even in the hard times; even when I can’t see a way out. I trust that You are working behind the scenes in my life and will bring me through to victory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Blessing Follows Obedience

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 17:51:00 -0300

“If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God.”
(Deuteronomy 28:1–2, NIV)

God rewards the people who seek after Him. Every time you obey His Word, His blessing will follow. If you’ll learn to obey Him in the small things, if you learn to pass the small tests, there’s no limit to how high God will take you. The scripture says, “When we fully obey God, blessings will chase us down and overtake us.” You can’t outrun the good things of God.
Always remember, when you obey God in the small, He will release big blessings. He has big opportunities, new levels of favor, healing, restoration, vindication, promotion, planned in your future. As you stay faithful to Him, you’re going to step into the fullness of your destiny and be all that God has created you to be!

Reaching the impossible

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 10:51:00 -0300

But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “ ‘Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well’
Luke 8:50

In Scripture a man came to Jesus and said, “My little daughter is very sick. She is close to death. Will You come to my home and pray for her?” Jesus agreed. But along the way He kept getting stopped, one interruption after another. Finally, word came back to Him saying, “No need to come. You’ve waited too late. The little girl has died.”

The people were upset and very distraught. But Jesus said to them in Luke 8:50 “Don’t be afraid. If you will only believe, the little girl will be well.” Notice the phrase, “Only believe.” Jesus went to the home, laid hands on the little girl, and she came back to life.

Are you facing a situation that seems impossible? In the natural, you don’t see how you can get well, or how you can overcome the addiction, or how your family can ever be restored? God is saying to you what He said to them, “If you will only believe, I will turn the situation around. If you only believe, breakthroughs are headed your way!

Peace to sells

Ecclesiastes 2:24-26

A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

People buy a party ticket but cannot buy happiness;
They buy expensive clothes but cannot buy comfort;
People do life insurance buy don't buy tranquility
BECAUSE
Apart from GOD who can get happiness, joy or peace!

The Pruning Process

“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful”
(John 15:2, NIV)

In life, we all go through a pruning process. God will prune our lives so that we can bear much fruit. To “prune” means something is cut away, something is removed. In other words, maybe a good friend that you counted on moved to another city. Maybe a business shut down that you were connected to, or

a relationship went a different direction.

Friend, God knows what you need in your life in order to grow and flourish. Sometimes when things happen that we don’t understand, we have to just trust that He is working behind the scenes preparing you for increase, preparing you to go to another level. Don’t put a question mark where God has placed a period.

When you’re going through transition, don’t get bitter. Don’t get down and think it’s the end. Don’t start thinking that you’re a failure. Have the attitude, “God, I let this go knowing that it was only temporary provision, and what You have in my future will be greater than what I’m letting go of.” If you will accept the change and stay in faith, God will open new doors. He will bring new opportunities, new friendships, and take you to another level of His glory!

The Greatest Love of All

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love”
(1 Corinthians 13:13, NKJV)

In our culture today, so many people are confused about what love is. We love pizza, movies and sports, but we also love our family or spouse. If we look to the Word of God, we see God’s definition of love. First Corinthians 13 tells us that “love is patient and kind. It does not envy, nor boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not seek its own way, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love believes, hopes and endures. Love never fails.” This is how God responds to us, and this is how we should respond to the people in our lives — with patience, kindness, hope, humility and love. Scripture tells us that God is love, and His character never changes!

Today and every day, know that God loves you with an everlasting love. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is for you and has a good plan for you. Receive His perfect love today and let Him transform you from the inside out. His love is the greatest love and will last throughout all eternity!

Give your heart to Him. He never will relent of you. He always loves you, carry you and be with you

Time, Choice and the choice of good things

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Thu, 2 Feb 2012 21:20:00 -0300

Yes, one of the big problems of the 21st century is lack of the time. Ops, I think I'm wrong. lack of the time is not a 21st century problem, it is a problem that comes from before time start to be counted...

When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ - Luke 14

Believe it or not, many good people who are involved in doing wonderful things do not go to heaven. Worse, many who consider themselves Christians and are convinced that they are going to heaven but will be outside of it! - even though they are not involved in gross sin or any thing wrong!

The Christians of whom I speak not use drugs or alcohol. Do not play. Do not indulge in pornography or sexual perversion. Are not among those who are corrupt or vile. In fact, you can find many of them in church on Sunday morning. And they spend most of their free time with friends and family, enjoy nice things. They are people of family and family values.

Having said that, I wish to make an even bolder statement - which may offend some. However, I do so love interest for those in the church of Jesus Christ who can not see they are heading toward disaster: some are in danger of losing their own souls - even though they sat in the church, are absolutely convinced that the way the heaven !

My point is this: some believers will be shut out of heaven not because of the bad things they did - but because they were so anxious to do good things and legitimate to neglect the ones that really count: the eternal things.

Lack of the time is not about clock. Lack of the time is about CHOICE. Good people are loosing their place in the heaven and I am nothing talking about bad people, prostitutes or thief. People chose house, family...

These people are so busy with every detail of daily life, which literally have no time for the deeper things of spiritual life. They are giving their sweat to build their businesses, advance their careers, support their families - but the target of interest was completely out of order!

The Bible says, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things shall be added" (Matt. 6:33).

These are words of Christ himself, and not a suggestion but a commandment. Jesus means what He says, "If you seek the Lord first, He will take care of all the things you have worked hard - career, business, home, family. But you must make him their number one priority ! "

The apostle Paul adds:

"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God" (Col. 3:2-3)

Please understand: God has never demanded that we all sell our houses, land and property, never said we need to quit our jobs and become monks, going to dedicate ourselves entirely to meditation and Bible study. (Yes, Jesus said this, but for one man - because this man's possessions had become their idols. God does not say this to everyone.)

The greatest indignity that any Christian can commit against the Lord is to put him in a secondary position. This is a slap in the face of God. You may find that he is not guilty of such an affront to him - but how do you prioritize your time? For example, how many times have you missed church for the benefit of your business? On these occasions, there were customers who were waiting for - God was. They were put first, above his interests!

I understand that you can not help missing church if you have a job that prevents you from attending - if for example, a nurse or a night worker. But I'm talking about people who have a choice - those who run their own business, for example, and who choose to work instead of attending the house of God. The Bible warns:

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting one and all the more as ye see the day approaching" (Heb. 10:25).

"As the days of Noah, is also in the days of the Son of man, eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed everyone. same happened in the days of Lot: they ate, drank, bought, sold, planting and building, but the day Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. This is the day when the Son of man revealed "(Luke 17:26-30).

Look again at this list Jesus gives us, and consider the things that people did at that time. We know that there was violence as the world had never seen, along with gross immorality such as sodomy and homosexuality. But Jesus does not speak any of these things here. Nor does he mention alcoholism or perversion. Instead, note carefully what he says that people were doing just before the condemnation fall upon them: eating, drinking (but He does not mention drunkenness), getting married, engaged, buying, selling, planting, building. There is no sin in this list. All these things are good, legitimate.

Why, then, Jesus focuses on just the good, legitimate things people did in the days before the trial? It is because He is trying to tell us something vital:

He is warning us As Our total disregard his word to become completely absorbed by our own interests!

Think about it: The Bible never speaks a word saying that Noah was mocked, mistreated or persecuted during the 120 years he worked with the ark. Apparently, his work and his preaching were never interrupted. God is saying, "Yes, there was violence and corruption at the time. But the vast majority of the people were so busy doing good, legitimate, they had no time to reflect on the warnings of Noah Everyone was too busy to marry , out to eat, to get involved with friends and enjoy the pleasure, they had no time to listen. "

The preaching of Noah was lost in the midst of a great outrage Business!

I can write books and preach messages about coming judgments, however, with the exception of a small remnant of believers, just listen and keep my words. The masses of Christians do not care. Why? It is because they are involved in their own plans for marriage, children, home, job, career. Do not have time to listen to messages about the coming of the Lord!

"This will be the day when the Son of man is revealed" (Luke 17:30). Jesus is warning: "Shall the same as last generation.'ll Be so busy, so involved with their own interests, they will put aside all my interests!"

It has been for centuries. Many are convinced they are bound for heaven. But week after week, they neglect the house of God, the word of God, prayer, worship. However, this procedure is not sinful in his own eyes:

"... Why then, says my people ... will come no more unto thee? ... ... My people have forgotten me days without number. ... Yet you say I am innocent .. . " (Jerem. 2:31-31,35)

These people may be doing good, legitimate things - but the Lord is not the first for them! He is not the center of their lives. If he were, do not brush him aside. They would find time to be with him!

Did you give Jesus a partial acceptance?

You could say: "I have to earn my living. The Lord understands." Not so! He will never understand - nor ever accept - the fact we put the background in relation to someone or something.

This sin of putting family before the Lord is one of the sins most damaging in the Church today

I know housewives who find it difficult to go to church on Sunday morning, than do anything else. But during the week, they have time left to muck around! They are always running, doing something special for their children. They make time for dance classes, music for school functions, parties, picnics, sports, shopping. And the list keeps growing. But for the things of God, they think a short time. The incoming message is this: "My kids come first!"

I tell you, if you neglect the interests of God and put their children first, you cursed them! This is what happened with Hezekiah and Manasseh. The Lord gave Hezekiah fifteen more years of life, he should spend years bending to the Lord and bringing renewal to Israel. Instead, Hezekiah spent those years playing with adult toys, collecting jewelry, livestock, and building construction. The son he created during these years, Manasseh the father watched his toys and putting family first. The result? Manasseh became one of the most wicked kings in Israel's history.

What was the sin of the three men in this parable? It was the land, oxen and family interests all put aside the invitation to enjoy the intimacy and communion with you. Do not get me wrong: all the things they were doing was good and legitimate. But they became sinful - unforgivable - to steal your time these gentlemen and their reverence for the Lord!

If Jesus is not the apple of his eye - if you are not focused on Him, in His church in His word, His interests - you can not be His disciple. Better you be an outcast, to being so hypocritical!

Again I say, in love, many of you who are reading this message will not be able to - unless they make a commitment today:

"Lord, from this moment, I commit myself before Thee who will be the center of my life. Everything else will be secondary. You're everything to me, Jesus. And I know that, otherwise, everything else will be in vain ! "

Amen!

The Sacrifice of Praise

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Thu, 2 Feb 2012 19:22:00 -0300

“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name”

Have you ever thought about what it means to continually offer up a sacrifice of praise? That word “sacrifice” means that it cost you something. It means doing something when you don’t feel like it. It’s when you say, “God, I’m hurting, but Igive You praise.” “God, I’m lonely, but I give You praise.” “God, it wasn’t fair. They did me wrong, but I give You praise.”
When you praise God beyond your feelings, that’s when praise becomes your faith at work. That’s when praise becomes a weapon. Nothing gets God’s attention any more than when you call on Him in your time of trouble. When most people would become negative and bitter, you have a song of praise. You’re thanking God for who He is and what He will do in your life. You’re not talking about how big your problems are; you’re talking about how big your God is!
Today, understand that praise activates God’s power. He commands us to praise because it opens the door to His victory and blessing. No matter what is happening around you, worship Him! Declare His goodness and see His restoration in every area of your life

The spirit of faith is in our words

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:58:00 -0300

“Since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak” 2 Corinthians 4:13

Scripture says, “The spirit of faith is in our words.” My question today is, “What’s coming out of your mouth?” Are you talking about how big your problems are, or are you talking about how big your God is?

As believers, our attitude should always be an attitude of praise — “Father, business may be slow, but I want to thank You that You’re supplying all of my needs.” “My circumstance may seem impossible, but thank You, God, that all things are possible with You!” We should always find a reason to give thanks!
This is what Jonah did. After complaining for eight verses, he had a change of heart in verse nine. He said, “God, in spite of my difficulties, I’m going to offer unto You the sacrifice of praise with a voice of thanksgiving.” While sitting in the belly of the whale, instead of complaining, he began to worship. The next verse says that the whale spit him out onto dry ground, and he went on to fulfill his destiny.
If you feel like you’re in the belly of a whale, if you feel trapped, if things seem dark, remember, praise always precedes the victory! Open your mouth and declare His praises! Say what the Word says and watch the breakthrough come to pass!

The Long Way

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:13:00 -0300

Exodus 13:17-19

When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.

When we give our lives to Jesus, we have to believe that He is guiding and protecting us all the time. here, even people were ready to battle, God guide them afar from war and what it means to us? - Some times God guide us to the longer way to protect us. He knows us and knows our limit. we until think that we are ready but God knows, so, if you think that what you want is taking a long time to find, remember maybe God is guiding you in the long way to protect you! He always loves us and have the best!

2 Peter 2:9

if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

Be Blessed,

Seja abençoado!

World versus God

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Sat, 7 Jan 2012 18:46:00 -0300

World versus God, an eternal conflict! Why? Well, people are bad and some times is hard to them understand that all that God wants is heal, help and love us. Follow me in this case:

Genesis 19:12-14 12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here? Get them out of here, because we are goi ng to destroy this place. So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

The sin of a whole city for many year cry out to God's ears. God is merciful but when He says NO more, it means no more and it was what happen here. God sent His serves to decree His will and destroy these 2 cities ( know more bout God's merciful in Genesis 18:16-33 ).
Inside the city had a man of God and through him God said would save many people, all those who just come with him. So Lot went to call his people... ' hey folk, come with me because god will destroy the city! AND what happen? People run and follow Lot??? NO, they laugh and thought Lot was joking! SOME SIMILARITY WITH OUR DAYS???

Yes, in our days is the same. We say, shout, claim and what people say? LoL you folks just speak abut this. Some of them say: you are ignorant, science says other things open your minds! Yes and with things like that many people are just going to their end!

We say God sent His own SON JESUS to forgive sin of all those who believe and a day He will come back to carry with Him those who live in this earth in according with His direction!
Well the end of this is: ... " ⁴ Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. ²⁵ Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—" Genesis 19

From now like that time, God speaks LOUD and say: Go off from prostitution, lie, envy, idolatry, and things like that and come to me because I have seen these sins and it will not be without punishment!

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Believe, give your hear to Him and be free. Jesus loves YOU.
see you folks =)

Words of the lasts days

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Thu, 5 Jan 2012 23:09:00 -0300

Many things that I am thinking yet about what to post. I like talk about God has talking with me and my church, just somethings that I have reading and seeing at facebook and some blogs have taken my breath away! I never understand why Christians use their spaces on internet to fight and say against other Christians! I am not sure about others countries but here in Brazil believers has attacking believer, woow! Maybe it is about called. I have mine and it is spread the Gospel, it is what I will do now. I just ask if you have to fight, lets together fight against darkness, ok?! =) We start again our yearly bible read and is great how God speaks with us every single time we stop to read His words. I great see how God create everything and did everything right.
Some nice things in Genesis, lets together to a brief:
1 - God create things and after it, He SEPARATE. (Genesis 1) Yes separation is something that God do to show His will and what he approve. Paul the apostle some times said: "1 Corinthians 11:19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval." So next time do not be shocked with some separations, it comes from God to show 'who are who'. ( hope this expression make sense in English too lol)
2 - Genesis 1:11-20 In the creation's process God says a word and things just come to existence. Other times He send a word of order. He start and says now it is up to you. Important in our lives is to discern God's word, sometimes He says and it is done, but sometimes He gave a word to star and we have to work in the process. Do not murmur or complain against God, learn to listen to Him and understand what He said to YOU.

3 - Genesis 2:23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh... Genesis 3:12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me.
I love bible!! how changes so fast?! How someone that is 'flesh of my flesh' few time after become the woman YOU PUT HERE!!! Did you see some similarity? Sometimes we do that. We say wow it is great, I love and things like that... time pass and we say: why YOU does that God?! yes dear believer, after sin things change, nothing more is like before. Sin changes everything, what is beautiful become ugly, what is pleasant become bitter and what is blessing become curse. Advice? think two times before listen to devil one.
4 - Genesis 3 the devil one always will try show you what you don't have to see. He always is in the middle of the God's people trying to say that God is not good or that God has hiding good things from us, pay attention. DO NOT LISTEN THE SERPENT. People that walk around you always trying to show what you are nothing looking for and trying say God said but it is not like that.. forget, abandon these kind of people before you sin!

5 - Genesis 3:17:19 - To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life. 8 It will produce thorns and thistles for y ou,
some of our deeds brings us thorns and thistles! be careful about your chooses!
Well, it is all for today, I will be back soon. Hope these words can help and guide you in a blessed way!
lots of love in Jesus

Word of the day - Listen to

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Tue, 3 Jan 2012 16:32:00 -0300

"And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear... Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.”

Sometimes God send one word and everything happen, other times, He send a order and we have to produce with His direction. We have to learn to discern what God has talking and listen to His voice to not lay down in time of war and fight in time of rest.
Learn listen to God.
God I pray today that By YOUR Holy Spirit, help us to discern Your voice because when we act outside of the time we get many bad consequences, help us listen to You, in Jesus Name.

Hope in the dark

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Mon, 2 Jan 2012 21:45:00 -0300

Genesis 1:1-3

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.³ And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

What is great in this statement is: doesn't matter how terrible, formless or never-racking be your life, plans or dreams, IF you are with God and the Holy spirit are in your life, there is hope.

We are starting a new year and my word to you is: lift up your face. Look to God and shout to Him. When God send a single word everything become LIGHT.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

My prayer for you today is: Dear Jesus, You know everything about us. You know our weakness, strength and that some times our behavior brings us darkness but what I claim to YOU today is, send us YOUR word and for your mercy send us light to put things in the right place.
Pray in Jesus name, amen.

Christmas, the real

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 04:34:00 -0300

Isaiah 9:6 >> Because a child is born, a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace;

Think of Christmas season. Parties, lights and gifts oh how we like the gifts. We like to give presents to honor loved ones.
God also in love, gave us a great Christmas present, the difference is He did not come wrapped in paper, but in love. It was not found beneath a tree, but on the cross. It was not wrapped with ribbons, but with blood.
But thinking of you and me some minutes, imagine how someone can love us so much? What had attracted us to him?
Do you remember the story of "Beauty and the Beast"? A handsome man is in a beast transformed by a curse. It is the ugly beast, ugly, bitter locked in a castle. Attracted to a beautiful young lady who falls in love with him and kiss him making him free of the curse. Some similarities with our lives. Eden perfect but, by the sin transformed in a wild beasts.

Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray, each of us was off the road, but the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Romans 3.10,23 as it is written: There is none righteous, not even one, because all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

And our prospects were not good: Jeremiah 13:23 You can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? So we could do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

How can we go a day without sinning? No worries, anxiety, envy, jealousy, anger. And yet he cared, but was not a kiss that saved us. He stood in our place, became "beast" to make us "beautiful." 1 Peter 1:18-20 knowing that it was not with perishable things like silver or gold that you were ransomed from your futile way that you bequeathed your fathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ, foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for your sake.

Yes, and in these conditions gave us the right to choose. Choose of our salvation.
We can not choose many things in our lives, but we have some choices such as:
Choose between the gate narrow or large
between the path space or tight
the crowd and the small group. Matthew 7:13,14
Imagine the scene: Jesus on the cross between two other crosses with two thieves. Thieves start mocking the conversation ... Matthew 27.42 He saved others, himself he can not save himself. It's the King of Israel! Down from the cross, and believe in him. He trusted in God, let Him deliver him now, if indeed he wants him, for he said: I am the Son of God. And they also told him swearing thieves who were crucified with him. But something changes in the end Luke 23:40-43 Responding to him, But the other rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear God, are under the same sentence? We indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this did no harm. Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom. Jesus answered, Verily I say to you today will be with me in paradise.
Why Jesus does not make a call and urges the other to save after all, the shepherd goes after the lost sheep, the woman clears the house behind the lost coin ... but what about the father of the prodigal? Why not go look for his son. Because as the thief on the cross was not lost and prodigal so not innocent, he chose where to be.
Sometimes God sends blessings and signs to warn us or call us attention, sometimes the silence coming from Him is giving us freedom to choose where we will spend eternity.
It may be that we have no right to choose many things in this life: appearance, hair, eyes, gifts ... but where to spend eternity yes, we can choose. Would you prefer that it be otherwise? You choose to be an excellent violinist and have a super IQ but not your eternity depends on you?
The thief on the cross may have made many bad choices in his life but a choice has changed his eternity and surpassed all the other bad choices.
Cain and Abel, same parents two different choices Genesis 4
Thieves on the cross, the same situations and different choices.
Now, the same ministry and different choices.
We can now decide where to spend our eternity.
Jesus loved the thief to forgive him and loved other enough to honor his choice.
If today you hear the voice of the Lord will not harden your heart
Yours is the decision.

blessed season

Disney Channel

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 04:47:00 -0300

I think that Disney Channel should come with a warned: danger for teenagers
why?
#1 - they encourage futility. People are what the wear, eat, school they study and outside appearance
#2 - to Disney channel, teenager know everything. Their parents always are wrong in the end when do not allow them follow what they want and think be the best for their life (as if like teenager we know all that is good and better to lived!) To Disney parents are that bored people that is in our life just to say NO when we want have fun or follow our feeling. All adult know that when we are teenager our feelings are intense and each experience we have, we think be the bigger and only, teenager think that what they live is the only day, love and opportunity in all life. It is why we have parents, to show us that life is more than our 14 or 16 years already lived and more experiences we will get along of our lives! Almost don't have parents in their programs and, when have parents, they are coadjutants because their sons gains the money that maintain the house.

#3 – some characters just depreciated their friend because some of them do not have too much money like them!
#4 – For them, brothers compete more than are partners, friends and helpers one of others.
WHAT does THE word FAMILY means to Disney Channel? Think about =)
What kind of character and values we are putting in our kids when we allow them watch this many hours.
Some families spend more time in front of TV than with bible or at church or church works.

Remember what bible says

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
1 Timóteo 4:15-16

God bless

Verse of The day - be Priest

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:17:00 -0300

Something called my attention today while I read my bible.. the precious Jesus' blood..

Revelation 1:5,6 ⁵ and from Jesus Christ,who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, ⁶ and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever!

Yes, is great to see how He Has loved us. He made us clean and worth to heaven, even living in this world we don't need be under its spirits because we lives by Holly Spirit.

OK, wonderful but it means more than say I'm saved or judge the humanity. be saved implies in responsibility! We were made priest what means pray, preach and share God to the world. Yes, how people will know about things if we do not preach. Use this Christmas season to say that it is an special time no because everybody be 'good' and change gifts, this season exist to say to world each single year that SOMEONE was born and died to pay for sins of those who cannot pay, what means, you, me and any men. Jesus is more than a little boy in a manger. He is King and deliver for those ho accept HIM.
Preach the word

share His love

Do not be afraid

Do not thing that isn't about you

We are responsible, as priest, to intercede

what have you doing like priest ?
feel free to share and send clues!
blessings folks
Christmas is Christmas if Jesus be the center.
=)

Valores da vida

patinanni@hotmail.com (Pati Nanni) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 14:03:00 -0300

Pouca coisa me surpreende nesse mundo, isso é verdade, mas que fico extasiada quando vejo o que o ser humano se torna quando não está nos caminhos de Deus, isso fico. Meu Deus! Na verdade eu tenho que concordar com a bíblia que diz em 2 Pedro 2:22 ... Volta o cão ao seu vômito, e a porca lavada volta a revolver-se no lamaçal, sim, eles voltam à lama e ao vômito! Sendo assim, não há muito que fazer a não ser contemplar horrorizada a vergonha deles.
... e reservar para o dia do juízo os injustos, que já estão sendo castigados; 10especialmente aqueles que, seguindo a carne, andam em imundas concupiscências, e desprezam toda autoridade. Atrevidos, arrogantes, não receiam blasfemar das dignidades, 12Mas estes, como criaturas irracionais, por natureza feitas para serem presas e mortas, blasfemando do que não entendem, perecerão na sua corrupção, 13recebendo a paga da sua injustiça; pois que tais homens têm prazer em deleites ã luz do dia; e insaciáveis no pecar; engodando as almas inconstantes, tendo um coração exercitado na ganância, filhos de maldição; 15 os quais, deixando o caminho direito, desviaram-se, ... 19prometendo-lhes liberdade, quando eles mesmos são escravos da corrupção; porque de quem um homem é vencido, do mesmo é feito escravo. 20Porquanto se, depois de terem escapado das corrupções do mundo pelo pleno conhecimento do Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo, ficam de novo envolvidos nelas e vencidos, tornou-se-lhes o último estado pior que o primeiro. 21Porque melhor lhes fora não terem conhecido o caminho da justiça, do que, conhecendo-o, desviarem-se do santo mandamento que lhes fora dado. 22Deste modo sobreveio-lhes o que diz este provérbio verdadeiro; Volta o cão ao seu vômito, e a porca lavada volta a revolver-se no lamaçal. 2 Pedro 2:10-22
A cegueira espiritual para a qual voltaram os leva a uma vida vã, vergonhosa e vazia, uma vez que possuem o conhecimento de que nada nesse mundo pode supri-los, buscam em vão o preenchimento das horas do dia em coisas realmente tolas.
Seus desejos os engodam deixando-os envoltos a vergonha e futilidade. Suas palavras expostas a público (obrigada facebook e internet por permitir-nos ver o interior de certas pessoas que quando sentam em frente ao computador sentem-se a vontade para abrirem seus vazios corações, expondo ao mundo que realmente o conhecimento de Deus os está longe, e que um coração vazio é fonte de inutilidade e vergonha. São por eles mesmos envergonhados e nem se dão conta!) mostram que o ser humano sem Deus é realmente nada. Em João 9 Jesus se depara com um cego de nascença e, após uma, digamos, diferente abordagem de cura, permite o fim da cegueira física do rapaz abrindo uma oportunidade de vida nova! “E passando Jesus, viu um homem cego de nascença... cuspiu no chão e com a saliva fez lodo, e untou com lodo os olhos do cego, disse-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé. E ele foi, lavou-se, e voltou vendo.”
Vendo!!!
Novas portas. Oportunidades e nova vida, agora não mais dependente de pessoas o rapaz aprenderia a confiar em Deus e depender de seus próprios esforços para vencer. Quando as pessoas são cegas espirituais, ou mundanas, elas são dependentes... Dependentes de outros para serem felizes, dependentes de festas e círculos de amizades. Entregam-se a vícios e criam situações que as tornam mais dependentes em um circulo infinito de vazio no qual põem toda sua atenção, dinheiro, pensamentos e emoções. Põem suas vidas vazias em um circulo vicioso vazio que passa a ser tudo que são, ou seja, nada. E por serem cegas, não veem isso, pensam apenas que a vida é assim.
Porém queridos leitores, a pior cegueira não é de pessoas como esse rapaz que nasceu cego, uma vez que ele não fora responsável por seu estado, sua cura vem, dá gloria a Deus e o liberta para salvação. No entanto, a pior cegueira pertence aqueles que dizem ‘eu vejo’. 40 Alguns fariseus que ali estavam com ele, ouvindo isso, perguntaram-lhe: Porventura somos nós também cegos? 41 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Se fosseis cegos, não teríeis pecado; mas como agora dizeis: Nós vemos, permanece o vosso pecado. Algumas pessoas têm se tornado cegas por suas escolhas. Têm abandonado a doutrina do amor, piedade, humildade e perdão para seguirem a vaidade de seus corações e as vãs filosofias do mundo.
Para aqueles que deliberadamente abrem mão de andar com Deus e escolhem a volta para a vida mundana, não há muito mais o que lhes dizer ou acrescentar, visto que a Palavra é clara quando diz: Hebreus 6 Porque é impossível que os que uma vez foram iluminados, e provaram o dom celestial, e se fizeram participantes do Espírito Santo, e provaram a boa palavra de Deus, e os poderes do mundo vindouro, e depois caíram, sejam outra vez renovados para arrependimento; visto que, quanto a eles, estão crucificando de novo o Filho de Deus, e o expondo ao vitupério. Pois a terra que embebe a chuva, que cai muitas vezes sobre ela, e produz erva proveitosa para aqueles por quem é lavrada, recebe a bênção da parte de Deus; mas se produz espinhos e abrolhos, é rejeitada, e perto está da maldição; o seu fim é ser queimada.
Ainda temos tempo para escolhermos o caminho pelo qual seguiremos, ou melhor, para permanecermos no caminho que já escolhemos e não permitamos que as futilidades desse mundo engodem nosso entendimento, pois há muito mais de Deus reservado pra os que andam com perseverança. Lembrando também que não é penoso o caminho de Deus como muitos pregam por ai (1 João 5:3 seus mandamentos não são penosos)

Mas de vós, ó amados, esperamos coisas melhores, e que acompanham a salvação, ainda que assim falamos. 10Porque Deus não é injusto, para se esquecer da vossa obra, e do amor que para com o seu nome mostrastes, porquanto servistes aos santos, e ainda os servis. Hebreus 6:9,10

Sabedoria

Honra

Respeito

Paz

Valor próprio e coisas como as tais, não se encontram no mundo nem andando em seus rudimentos. Valores como esse são agregados à vida das pessoas que creem e andam com Deus.

Você vale muito para retroceder. Seja firme na presença de Deus e não deixe o mundo inútil te colocar no mesmo pacote. Fomos comprados pelo Sangue de Jesus, valemos muito mais com certeza.

DIGA NÃO A FUTILIDADE E SIM A VIDA COM DEUS.
