WHY DO YOU STOP EVANGELICAL CHURCHES?

GALATIANS 1: 6-12

The inconstancy of the Galatians - Paul vindicates the divine authority of his apostleship and doctrine

6 I marvel that you passed so quickly from him who called you to the grace of Christ into another gospel;

7 Which is no other, but there are some who trouble you and want to disrupt the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which I have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 So now, as I told you, now I tell you again. If any man preach any other gospel unto you than ye have received, let him be accursed.

10 Why do I persuade men or God now? Or do I try to please men? If he were still pleasing men, he would not be a servant of Christ.

11 But I make it known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after men.

12 For I received him not, neither did I learn of any man, but the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Historical Roots of Prosperity Theology

Brazilian evangelicalism presents appreciable and worrying characteristics. Among the latter is the taste for novelties. Leaders and believers feel that in order to maintain an interest in God's things, a new teaching, a new emphasis or experience must arise from time to time. Generally such innovations have their origin in the United States. Like other countries, Brazil is an importer and consumer of North American material and cultural goods. This is also true in the religious area. A movement of American origin that has had enormous receptivity in the Brazilian evangelical milieu since the 80s is called the theology of prosperity. It is also known as "positive confession," "word of faith," "movement of faith," and "gospel of health and prosperity." The history of the origins of this teaching reveals questionable aspects that should serve as a warning to those who are fascinated with it.

Contrary to many people's beliefs, the basic ideas of positive confession did not emerge in Pentecostalism, but in some syncretic sects of New England in the early 20th century. However, because of some affinities with the Pentecostal worldview, such as belief in Prophecies, revelations, and visions, it was in Pentecostal and charismatic circles that positive confession was most welcomed in both the United States and Brazil. The story of his two great paladins will elucidate the roots of this popular theology and show why it is damaging to the integrity of the gospel.

Essek W. Kenyon, the pioneer

Although Prosperity theology considered Kenneth Hagin the father of this movement, careful research by several scholars, such as D. R. McConnell, conclusively demonstrated that the true originator of positive confession was Essek William Kenyon (1867-1948). This Methodist-born evangelist was born in Saratoga County, New York, and became a teenager. In 1892 he moved to Boston, where he studied at Emerson College, known to be a center of the so-called "transcendental" or "metaphysical" movement, which gave birth to various sects of dubious orientation.

One of the influences received and acknowledged by Kenyon at the time was that of Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science.

Kenyon initiated the Bethel Bible Institute, which he directed until 1923. He then moved to California, where he made numerous evangelistic campaigns. He preached several times at the celebrated Angelus Temple in Los Angeles by evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, founder of the Church of the Foursquare Gospel. He pastored independent Baptist churches in Pasadena and Seattle and pioneered radio evangelism with his "Church of the Air." The recorded transcripts of his programs served as the basis for many of his writings. He coined many popular expressions of the faith movement, such as "What I confess, I possess." Before his death in 1948, he commissioned his daughter Ruth to continue his ministry and publish his writings.

What were the beliefs of such metaphysical groups? They taught that the true reality is beyond the physical realm. The sphere of the spirit is not only superior to the physical world, but it controls every aspect of it. Moreover, the human mind can control the spiritual sphere. Therefore, the human being has the innate ability to control the material world through its influence on the spiritual, especially in regard to the cure of diseases. Kenyon believed that these ideas were not only compatible with Christianity but could enhance traditional Christian spirituality. By right use of the mind, the believer could claim the full benefits of salvation.

Kenneth Hagin, the publisher

The great promoter of the teachings of Kenyon, to the point of being considered the father of the movement of the faith, was Kenneth Erwin Hagin (1917-2003). He was born In McKinney, Texas, with a serious heart problem. He had a difficult childhood, especially after the age of six, when his father abandoned his family. Just before he was 16, his health worsened and he was confined to a bed. He had some remarkable experiences. After three visits to hell and to heaven, he was converted to Christ. Reflecting on Mark 11: 23-24, he came to the conclusion that it was necessary to believe, verbally declare the faith and act as if he had already received the blessing ("believe in your heart, decree with your mouth and it will be yours"). Shortly afterwards, he obtained a cure for his illness. In 1934, Hagin began his ministry as a Baptist preacher and three years later joined the Pentecostals. He received the baptism with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. In the same year he was licensed as pastor of the Assemblies of God and pastored several churches in Texas. In 1949, he began to engage with independent preachers of divine healing and in 1962 he founded his own ministry. Finally, in 1966 made the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the headquarters of its activities. Over the years, Faith Radio Seminary, Rhema Correspondence Bible School, Rhema Bible Training Center, and Word of Faith magazine have reached an immense number of people. Other resources used were cassette tapes and more than one hundred books and pamphlets. Hagin, claimed to have received the divine anointing to be a teacher and prophet. In his fascination with the supernatural, he claimed to have had eight visions of Jesus Christ in the 1950s, as well as several other out-of-body experiences. According to him, his teachings were transmitted to him directly by God himself through special revelations. However, it was later proved that he was greatly inspired by Kenyon, to the point of copying, almost word for word, entire books of this predecessor. In a Master's thesis at Oral Roberts University, D. McConnell demonstrated that much of what Hagin claimed to have received from God was nothing more than plagiarism of Kenyon's writings. Hagin's rather suspicious explanation is that the Holy Spirit had revealed the same things to both of them. Reflections in Brazil Hagin's teachings influenced a large number of American preachers, starting with Kenneth Copeland, his presumptive heir. Other followers were Benny Hinn, Frederick Price, John Avanzini, Robert Tilton, Marilyn Hickey, Charles Capps, Hobart Freeman, Jerry Savelle and Paul (David) Yonggi Cho, among others. In 1979, Doyle Harrison, Hagin's son-in-law, founded the International Convention of Churches and Ministers of the Faith, a virtual denomination. In the 1980s, the teachings of positive confession and the gospel of prosperity came to Brazil. One of the first to spread it was Rex Humbard. Marilyn Hickey, John Avanzini and Benny Hinn participated in conferences promoted by the Association of Business Men of the Full Gospel (Adhonep). Other visitors were Robert Tilton and Dave Robertson. Among the first manifestations of the movement were the Church of the Word of Life and the Seminary of the Word of Life (Guarulhos), the Rema Community (Morro Grande) and the Verbo Vivo Church (Belo Horizonte). Some leaders who embraced this theology were Jorge Tadeu, of the Maná Churches (Portugal); Cássio Colombo ("Uncle Cassio"), of the Cristo Salva Ministry, in São Paulo; The "apostle" Miguel Ângelo da Silva Ferreira, from Cristo Vive Evangelical Church in Rio de Janeiro, and R. R. Soares, responsible for the publication of most of Hagin's books in Brazil. Perhaps the most outstanding figure of the earliest times was Pastor Valnice Milhomens, leader of the Word Ministry of Faith, who knew the teachings of positive confession in South Africa. Brazilian churches were impacted by an avalanche of books, tapes, and Positive confession. Ricardo Gondim noted in 1993: "With extremely simple books, [Hagin] has been able to influence the course of the church in Brazil more than any other religious leader in recent times." Conclusion In addition to presenting questionable teachings on the faith, prayer, and priorities of the Christian life, and relativizing the importance of the Scriptures through new revelations, the theology of prosperity, through the writings of its exponents, presents other worrying emphases in its Understanding of God, of Jesus Christ, of the human being and of salvation. Since the 1980s, various American Pentecostal denominations have officially positioned themselves against the excesses of this movement (Assemblies of God, Foursquare Gospel and Church of God). Authors such as Charles Farah, Gordon Fee, D. R. McConnell and Hank Hanegraaff, all sympathizers of the charismatic movement, wrote works contesting positive confession and its implications. They pointed out how, although this theology seems to be an exciting way of looking at the Bible, it departs at crucial points in the historical Christian faith. In Brazil, three significant works published in 1993 - "The Gospel of Prosperity "By Alan B. Pieratt; "The Gospel of the New Age", by Ricardo Gondim; And "Supercrentes," by Paulo Romeiro - solemnly warned the evangelical churches to these dangers. Sadly, various groups, especially those with greater visibility in the media, are increasingly committed to this theology unknown to much of church history. By defending and legitimizing the values ​​of secular society (wealth, power, and success), and by offering people what they aspire to, not what they really need in God's eyes, such churches grow impressively but miss great opportunity to Have a salutary and transformative impact on Brazilian society.

Asdm@mackenzie.com.brThe True Worship to God - Paulo Juniorhttps: //youtu.be/WqGbDBoiMaEO that belongs or does not belong to a Christian cult? What does the Bible tell us? CAN WE DO WHAT WE WANT? Not at all. The Bible indicates that in our worship of God, Christians should do only those things that God positively requires of us, whether by commandment or inference. Several lines of biblical evidence support this position: • Only God has the right to determine how he should be worshiped (Lev 10: 1-3, Jn 4: 20-26, 1 Cor 14) • The second commandment forbids not only worshiping others beyond The only true God, but also to worship the true God in a way that he did not command (Exodus 20: 2-6). Given that: faith is an affirmative response to the revelation of God. Since: everything that does not come from faith is sin (Rom 14:23). Therefore: God will not accept any worship other than an affirmative response to his revelation. • Since: The New Testament requires Christians to meet regularly (Heb. 10.25). Since: Christians should not be required to submit to rules and practices invented by man (Colossians 2: 16-23). Therefore, any church that effectively requires assembled Christians to participate in a practice that God did not prescribe expressly is unjustly constraining the conscience of these Christians. In other words, because the conscience of these Christians must remain free of human requirements, no church has the right to corporately worship God in a way that it has not affirmed. • How, then, do we decide what belongs to a Christian worship? We examine the Bible to find out what God said Christians should do when they come together. So we do all the things that God tells us to do, and nothing more. What does the New Testament Say What Churches Should Do When Gathering The New Testament says that when churches come together they should read the Bible, Preach the Bible, pray in the light of the Bible, sing the Bible, and see the Bible.1. Read the Bible: Paul said to Timothy: "Be devoted to the public reading of Scripture" (1 Timothy 4:13, NIV). The churches should read the Scripture aloud during their meetings.2. Preaching the Bible: Paul said to Timothy, "Preach the word" (2 Timothy 4: 2). Paul himself declared "all the design of God" to the church in Ephesus (Acts 20:27). Church meetings today should be centered on sermons that take the main point of a Scripture passage, make it the main point of the sermon, and apply it to the life of today. Praying in the light of the Bible: Paul urges prayers to be made in the assembled church (1 Tim. 2: 3, 14-15). The content of these prayers should be biblical in order to edify all those present (1 Cor. 14:12, 26). This does not mean that prayers in a church service should be dry and formal, but that they should be biblically rich. Sing the Bible: Paul said to the church in Colossus: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly ... with prayers and hymns and spiritual songs with thanksgiving in your heart" (Col 3:16) . This does not mean that churches should sing only Psalms or just the words of the Bible, but it means that churches should sing songs that are soaked with the language and theology of the Bible. See the Bible: We say "see the Bible" because the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper are, to use Augustine's expression, "visible words." In baptism and the Lord's Supper we see, smell, touch and taste the Word. Christian churches should celebrate baptism and the Lord's Supper during their public worship meetings (1 Cor. 11: 17-34). -pertence-to-a-worship-Christian-the-bible-tells-us /

HOW DO I BELIEVE IN WHOM I DO NOT KNOW?

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD?

THE GOSPEL EXPIRE

The Character & Attributes of God

Can we conceptualize God? Can we explain what God is in perfection? Although some think so, we can not dissect God as one does to a corpse and explain all the details if His Person. The finite can not comprehend the Infinite. This is what Paul declared in Romans 11: 33-36, "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and how inscrutable are his ways! Who then knew the mind of the Lord? Or who was your counselor? Or who first gave it to him to be restored to him? For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him, therefore, eternal glory. Amen!".

However, within our inability, finitude and ignorance God himself shows us a particle of who He is. Through his attributes - or that which he allows us to know - we can have an idea of ​​His Great Person.

Why is it important to know the attributes of God? I want to give four simple reasons:

(1) Knowing the attributes of God we will know a little who He is, His character, thought and will;

(2) Knowing God as He is, we can honor Him as he deserves, by giving him a biblical worship;

(3) We will be more prepared to make an apology for our faith and to be immune when the heretical distortions arising in the present century;

(4) We can help so many who are incurring grave error by embracing the most diverse heresies and distortions about the Person of God.

What is an attribute? ATTRIBUTE: (from Latin 'attribution') Property inherent to the subject without which it can not exist or be conceived. In philosophy, Aristotle distinguished between attribute and accident. Descartes regarded attributes as fundamental properties of substance. Spinoza understood that extension and thought are attributes of the single substance. According to the French materialists of the 18th century, they are attributes of matter to extension and movement; Some (Diderot, Robinet) also included thought.

In theology, Berkhof, for example, says that: "God's attributes can be defined as the perfections that are predicatives of the Divine Being in Scripture, or that are visibly exercised by him in His works of creation, providence, and redemption." Although he prefers the term "virtue" or "perfections" rather than attributes, he thinks that "attribute" can convey the notion of adding something to the Divine Being. (Berkhof, 1994: 54)

There are, among the theologians, various positions regarding the number of attributes of God. Some speak of natural attributes and moral attributes, others of absolute and relative attributes, others of immanent or intransitive attributes, and emanating or transitive attributes. The most common is between communicable and incommunicable attributes. We will not follow any pre-established pattern, we will deal generally with the attributes of God, in the end I will be indicating some books that may help in a more in-depth study on the subject.

Let us now look at a summary of the various attributes listed in Scripture:

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD OWNS PROPERLY

1 - SINGULARITY AND SIMPLICITY: God is not composed of parts, because all composition implies imperfection. The compound necessarily depends on the constituent elements. God is therefore perfectly simple. One attribute is not more important than another; They all constitute the Being of God. God is unique in the sense of singularity as well as of simplicity. Singularity: God is unique, numerically one; There is one God. Simplicity: God is not divided into parts, for He is not composed; However its attributes are emphasized at different times. Being infinitely simple, God is infinitely one and indivisible. But it is also absolutely unique. To suppose two or more equally perfect Gods would be absurd. Two Gods would be identical and then would be confused, or would be different and then could not both be infinitely perfect. 1Re 8.60; Dt 6.4; Mc 12.29, 32; 1Co 8.6; 1Tm 2.5; Jn 17: 3; Eph 4.6.

2 - INFINITY AND IMENSITY: God is infinite, that is, without limit in his being, because it is the being by itself, the being that exists by its own essence. Nothing exists beyond and above God, that nothing depends and to which everything is subordinate. He "dwelleth in inaccessible light" (1 Tim. 6:16), a God of "unfathomable judgments" and whose ways are "inscrutable" (Rom. 11.33). God is infinite, unlimited, unlimited. "Am I only a God, says the Lord, and not from afar? Would anyone hide in hiding so that I do not see him? Saith the Lord; Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? Saith the Lord "(Jer 23: 23-24). "Whither shall I depart from thy Spirit? Where will I flee from your face? If I ascend to heaven, there you are; If I make my bed in the deepest abyss, there you are also; If I take the wings of the dawn and stand at the ends of the seas, there will my hand still guide me, and your right hand will hold me. " 139.7-10

3 - ETERNITY: Being infinite, God has no beginning and no end. Only imperfect beings have limited duration. God, being infinitely perfect, is eternal. There is no past, no future, no present. Eternity is an attribute related to the immutability of God in the aspect that time can not add or take something from Him, can not increase or decrease His knowledge. But he perceives events in time and acts in time. "Lord, you have been our refuge from generation to generation. Before the mountains were born and formed the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity, you are God. " Sl 90.2

4 - INTELLIGENCE: Being everything, in God, infinite, his intelligence and his science are also infinite. To know, He does not need to reason. Everything sees and knows. "... who first gave it to him to be restored to him?"

5 - WILL: The divine will has no limits and is free from all obstacles. God just wants to do. He acts with absolute independence and without contradiction. "All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed for nothing; And according to his will he worketh with the host of heaven, and with the inhabitants of the land; There is no one to hold his hand, nor to say to him, What doest thou? "

6 - WISDOM: The infinitely perfect intelligence of God generates the absolute wisdom that makes Him employ the most effective means for the most worthy ends. God governs everything with intelligence, security and order.

7 - KINDNESS: God is infinite and perfect love. God is good in himself; Absolutely nothing can be added or improved because it is not incomplete or defective. He is the sumo good to his creatures; The source of all good. His goodness manifests itself to all his creatures, for it is perfection that leads him to treat all his creatures kindly and generously. This attribute of God implies that He is the definitive parameter of what is good, and everything He is and does is worthy of approval. Gn 1.31; 145.9, 15-16; Sl 100.5; Sl 106.1; Lk 18: 18-19; Rm 12.2; Tg 1.17; 1Jo 1.5; 14.17.

8 - JUSTICE: Being in an infinite degree, intelligent, wise and good, God is just. Having absolute holiness that is the order of love, He acts with infinitely perfect justice. Therefore punish evil and reward good. God always acts according to what is right, and that He Himself is the definitive parameter of what is just. Deut. 32: 4 "He is the Rock; His works are perfect, because all his ways are just; God is faithful and without iniquity; Righteous and upright is he. " Other references: Ed 9.15; Ne 9.8; 119.137; 145.17; Jr 12.1; Lm 2.29; 3.4; Rev 16.5; Dt 32.4; Rm 3.25-26; Job 40.2,8; Rm 9.20,21.

9 - SELF-EXISTENCE: This is a characteristic of God alone. "The God who made the world and all that is in him, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands. Nor is it served by human hands, as if by any means necessary; For He himself is the one who gives life, breath, and all things "(Acts 17: 24-25). God is self-sufficient. He does not need anything or anyone to be who he is or do what he did and does. God is absolutely independent of everything outside Himself, even for the continuity and perpetuity of His Being. God is the cause of all things without being caused.

10 - IMMUTABILITY OR INALTERABILITY: Every change constitutes progress or decay. Only imperfect beings change and become. Being necessarily perfect, God is immutable, that is, remains identical with itself, without any change or variation. (Rev. 22:13, Is 44: 6). It is the same God, unique and true. He is not only; He is what he is, always. Nothing changes in Him. (Hebrews 1: 10-12). "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, in whom there can be no variation, or shadow of change." Tg 1.17. "For I the Lord do not change." Ml 3.6

11 - ONIPRESENCE: God has no size or spatial dimensions and is present at every point in space with his whole being; But he acts differently in different places. God is not everywhere in the same sense; That is, the manifestation of Him is greater in the heavens his dwelling, but its manifestation in hell happens in a punitive way, for example. God has no spatial dimensions, He is our closest environment. Its center is everywhere; Your circumference is nowhere. "Am I only God at hand, saith the Lord, and not even God afar off? Would someone hide in hiding so I do not see him? Says the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord. " Jr. 23: 23-24, and still. 139.7-10

12 - Prescience: If we look at the aspect in which the word "foreknowledge" in the Bible is employed, not in the sense of predicting events or actions of people, but rather that it is related to God's prior knowledge of people. The foreknowledge of God is not causative, but God knows beforehand what it will be because He has decreed what is to be. So we conclude that God knows the people He Himself has chosen. Rm 8.28-29; 1Pe 1.2.

The word "foreknowledge" in Greek: "prognosis", does not mean just "to know before". When this term is used in relation to God it often means "to look with love". "You have rebelled against the LORD from the day that I have known you." Dt 9.24. "Of all the families of the earth, only to you I knew (I chose); Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. " Am 3.2 (emphasis ours). "Knowing" means loving. "Then I will tell you explicitly: I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity. " Mt 7.23. (Jn 10.14, 1Co 8.3, 2Tm 2.19; Rom 8: 29-30; 11.22).

13 - SOVEREIGNTY OR SUPREMACY: God the supreme creator of the universe can not and will never be influenced by any human attitude or event of his creation. God controls everything and has dominion eternally over the will of men, of heavenly beings and over all the rest of his creation. "Thine is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for thine is all that is in heaven and in earth; Thine is, O Lord, the kingdom, and Thou hast exalted himself as the chief over all. " 1Cr 29.11 As well expressed A. W. Pink:

● God is sovereign in the exercise of His power - Ex 17.16; 1Ch 29.11-12; Dn 2.22-21.

● God is sovereign in the delegation of His power to others - Deut. 8:18; Ps 29.11; Dn 2.23.

● God is sovereign in the exercise of His mercy - John 5: 1-9.

● God is sovereign in the exercise of His grace - Rom. 9.19-24; Rm 11.5-6; Eph 2.4-10.

God is sovereign in the realm of nations - 2Ch 20: 6; H, 10.16; Rev 19.6; Pv 21.1; Dn 4.35.

14 - HOLINESS: The holiness of God traces the pattern that his people must imitate. "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy." Lev 19.2 The biblical God is both holy and loving, in inseparable unity in every person of Triunity. God's holiness is central to his being, and is especially prominent in the Old Testament (Lv 11.44, 19.2, Js 24.19, 1Sm 6.20, Ps 22.3, Is 57.15). The holiness of God indicates that he is absolutely pure and perfect, without any sin or evil; His own being is the radiance and the outpouring of purity, truth, justice, righteousness, goodness, and all moral perfection.

15. IRA: God strongly hates sin, and this is associated with God's holiness and righteousness. He opposes everything that goes against his moral character. "Remember and do not forget much that you provoked the wrath of the Lord your God in the wilderness; From the day you came out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you rebelled against the LORD; For in Horeb ye have provoked the Lord to wrath, that the wrath of the Lord was kindled against you to destroy you "(Deuteronomy 9: 7-8). An example of divine wrath lies in the execution of the flood in the days of Noah (Gen 6 -8)

16 - ONIPOTENCE: This is clearly expressed in the question: "Is anything too difficult for God?" After God had promised Abraham and Sarah a son in old age - Gen 18.14, and repeated again with his promise to restore and Liberate Jerusalem from its imminent destruction by the Babylonian army - Jer 32.27. In both cases the divine promise was fulfilled to the letter. The New Testament also contains a similar testimony regarding the omnipotence of God. He reveals himself as the God for whom "nothing is impossible." (Gn 17.1; 18.14; Ps 24.8; 33.9; 89.13; 115.3; Hb 1.3; Eph 3: 20,21; Ps 24.8; Ps 32.27; 2Co 6.18; Ap 1,8: Lc 1.37; Mt 19.26; Tg 1:13, 17).

17 - UNISCIENCE: This perfection is closely linked to its omnipresence (Psalm 139: 1-12). The practical implications are similar and disturbing, but they bring safety at the same time: God sees and therefore knows everything. This is especially pertinent to the judgment, being symbolically expressed by the "opening of the books" (Rev. 20:12).

18 - LOVE: "God is love" (1 John 4: 8) is the best-known biblical definition of God. In human contexts, however, love includes a considerable variety of attitudes and deeds. In relation to God, it is a very specific idea. "In this is love ... wherein ... He sent forth his Son as the propitiation for our sins" (1 John 4.10; "In this was manifested the love of God ... in that God sent his only begotten Son into the world" 1Jo 4.9. The term agapê here has comparatively little use outside the New Testament. The common Greek word, Eros, speaks of a love associated with a worthy person, while agape is love for the unworthy, for someone who has lost all right to the devotion of the beloved. God's love, agape, is chiefly expressed in the redemption of sinners and in everything that is connected with it.

19 - MERCY: It is the exercise of God's love for the afflicted and the distressed. The basic difference between grace and mercy is that it sees sinful men guilty and condemned, granting forgiveness, while it sees them miserable and needy, acting affectionately towards them, that is, granting relief. It is helpful to say that mercy is an extension of God's grace. (2Si 24.14, Mt 9.27, 2Co 1.3, Hb 4.16, 2.17, Tg 5.11). "And after all that has happened to us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt, yet you, O our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have left us this remnant ..." Ed 9.13.

20 - PATIENCE: It is the power of control that God exercises over himself, acting complacently towards the ungodly, holding for a time the punishment he deserves. This attribute, although it benefits the creature, concerns God, for it is the power that he controls his wrath, delaying judgment, continuing to offer salvation and grace for long periods. Nm 1.3; S, 86.15; Rm 2.4; 9.22; 1Pe 3.20; 2Pe 3.9; Tg 1.19; Jn 4.21; Sl 103.8-9. What would be the "Pedros" if God were not patient?

IMPLICATIONS OF THE ATTRIBUTES STUDY

What good is it for us to know about the attributes of God? In what would our life change everything we have studied so far about the person of God? In addition to the reasons I mentioned in the introduction, it is imperative these days that God's attributes are connected with the way we serve Him. If I do not know God how can I worship him? Love him? Serve it? Pray? Otherwise, let's see:

If God is SINGULAR, then I can not associate with any other god;

If God is INFINITE, then He is greater than my own life;

If God is ETERNAL, then we can trust Him at any time;

If God is INTELLIGENT, then I can trust your decisions about me;

If God has WILL, then I must discover His will for my life;

If God is WISE, then I need Him in my ignorance;

If God is GOOD, then in His hands I will be safe;

If God is FAITHFUL then I will give to Him the injustices that I have suffered;

If God is SELF-EXISTING, He does not need me, but I need Him;

If God is IMUTABLE, then my faith can rest His Being;

If God is ONIPRESENT, then I do not need to make pilgrimages to "holy" places to meet Him;

If God has Prescience, then I know that He loved me before the foundation of the world;

If God is SOVEREIGN, then nothing can catch him by surprise, even the worst calamities;

If God is HOLY, then I must seek holiness, for He says to me, "Be holy";

If God breaks, then I must understand that I can not sin against Him;

If God is ONIPOTENT, then why do I care about my problems more than I should?

If God is ONISCIENT, then I can not deceive Him at any time;

If God is LOVE, then I can believe in his forgiveness;

If God is MERCY, then I know that although there is hell, it is not for me;

If God is a PATIENT then you know the best time to act.

GET TO KNOW WHO IS AND WHAT THE ARTIMANAGES OF YOUR ONLY ENEMY!

THE DEVIL STRENGTHS

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the snares of the devil, for our struggle is not against human beings but against the powers and authorities, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the regions Heavenly. Ephesians 6: 11-12

II CORINTHIANS 10: 2-5

Paul defends his apostolic authority

2 Therefore I beseech you, when I am present, not to be forced to use with boldness the boldness which I hope to have with some who judge us as though we were following the flesh.

3 For when we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh.

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the destruction of strongholds;

5 By destroying the counsels, and all the haughtiness that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and bringing captive all the understanding unto the obedience of Christ;

OBS: MILITIA = WAR, STRATEGY, STRATEGEM.

SATAN EXISTS AND WE CAN NOT IGNORE IT. DO NOT IGNORE THE ENEMY.

WE HAD A COMBAT, A BATTLE AGAINST THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.

II CORINTHIANS 4: 2-6

2 But we reject those things that are hidden from shame, not walking in cunning or falsifying the word of God; And so we commend ourselves to the conscience of every man, in the presence of God, through the manifestation of truth.

3 But if our gospel is still hidden, to them that perish it is hid.

4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, shine forth from them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; And we ourselves are your servants for Jesus' sake.

6 For God, who hath spoken light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts for the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

WHAT ARE THESE WEAPONS?

• THE WEAPONS OF OUR MILITARY CAMPAIGN;

• OUR MILITARY CAMPAIGN BEGINS WITH OUR CONVERSION, TALK ABOUT A CONSTANT COMBAT, WAR AGAINST SATAN IN A SPIRITUAL FIELD;

• WE CAN NOT IGNORE THE FIGHT;

• DISPRESSING THE OPPONENT IS NOT INTELLIGENT.

WHAT IS THE POSTURE OF SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS THAT IS IN THE IMMEDIATE OF AN ATTACK?

1ª) WE CAN NOT BE LEVIAN, NEGLIGENT. WE WILL WALK WITH PRUDENCE, CAUTION AND SURVEILLANCE;

2ª) SATAN EXISTS AND HAS ATTRIBUTES (ANCIENT SERPENT, SEDUCTOR, SAGAZ, DRAGON, LIAR WAS UNDERED QUERUBIM, PRINCE OF THAT WORLD, MALIGNO, SORRATEIRO, god OF THAT CENTURY

3) SATAN HAS A KINGDOM OF HURT AND LIE, THAT CONSISTS IN PROPAGATING THE MISTAKE. THE DEVIL IS NOT AN OPEN BEING. THERE IS A WAR AGAINST THE HUMAN BEING CREATED INTO THE IMAGE & LIKENESS OF GOD. THE WORD OF GOD IS A SWORD TO FIGHT AGAINST SATAN.

4ª) SATANÁS CEGA AS IS THE ROUTINE OF WHO IS IN CONSTANT WAR. BE CONSTANTLY ALERTS. SATAN ORCHESTRA, ENGENDRANDO CILADAS TO TEAR YOU. WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR POSTURE. AND BEING WATCHING.

OUR COMBAT ARE AGAINST STRENGTHS (THE DEVIL'S BATTLE FIELD IS IN MIND)

SOFISMAS: LOGISMOS (A FALSE ARGUMENT TO INDUCE THE ERROR) IDEAS, IDEOLOGIES, PHILOSOPHIES, RELIGIONS, SEITAS.

SATAN HITS, APRISONA, PEOPLE IN IDEOLOGY STRENGTHS, PROMOTES HURT AND LIE). THE BATTLE GIVES IN THE FIELD OF MIND, THE PEOPLE ARE METALLALLY DEPRECATED IN THEIR LIES. ALL PHILOSOPHY AND IDEOLOGY. ALL "ISMS" ARE STRENGTHS THAT HOLD PEOPLE IN PRISONS IN THE MIND. AND THESE STRENGTHS, ARE IDEOLOGIES THAT REJECT THE TRUTH OF GOD, ARE STRENGTHS OF THE DEVIL.

AND ONE OF THE GREAT STRATEGIES OF SATAN HAS BEEN THE:

RELATIVISM: IT IS A CURRENT OF THOUGHT, BELIEF THAT TRIES THE TRUTH AS SOMETHING RELATIVE, NOT ABSOLUTE. THIS IS A MISTAKE. WHERE TRUTH AND VALUES HAVE BEEN RELATIVISED.

FOR RELATIVISM THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE TRUTH. THIS IS A MISTAKE. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE AN IMORAL SOCIETY, WITHOUT RULES, WITHOUT LAW. IT'S AN EXAMPLE OF STRENGTH. IT IS IN ALL THE FIELDS OF SOCIETY.

WE HAVE TO BELIEVE IN ABSOLUTE TRUTH. IN THE BIBLE EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTE. THERE IS NO RELATIVISM.

RELATIVISM MAKES US TO BELIEVE SOMETHING DISTORGIOUSLY. For example, I CAN NOT BELIEVE IN SIN, BUT I AM CHANGING MY CONCEPT OF SIN. SIN IS SIN. THE DEVIL IS RELATIVISING THE PECAMINOSITY OF INIQUITY. FORM PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT THOUGHTS, WITHOUT ABSOLUTE VALUES. THE CONCEPT OF SIN IS UNIQUE. CHRISTIAN LIFE BECOMES ATROPHY WHEN WE LEAVE RELATIVISM IN OUR MIND.

RELATIVISM IS AN IDEOLOGY, MISLEADING BELIEF THAT YOU WANT THAT YOU THINK THAT "EVERYTHING CAN", "DEPENDS ON THE POINT OF VIEW".

SATAN SENDS MALIGNANT MUSHROOMS, DISTORTIONING CHRISTIAN VALUES, APPRISING YOU IN AN IDEOLOGY INFLUENCING YOUR WAY OF THINKING. IT IS IN MIND THAT SATAN IMPLANTS STRENGTHS (IDEOLOGIES). INDUCING PEOPLE IN THE WAY OF THINKING, CONTRARY TO THE WILL OF GOD.

THE SIN OF ADAM INCLUDES MAN TO MORAL DEVIATION. THEN, SATAN WANTS TO CONTINUE TO SOCIETY GROWING IN THE BIBLE AND IN GOD BUT, WITH CAPTIVE MINDS, BEING SO, DESTROYED THE ABSOLUTE TRUTHS.

FALSE PROPHETS & HER HERESIES

False Teachers - Hamilton City CANADÁ - Paulo Junior
https://youtu.be/3bfpEIIW5lQ



False prophets are people who preach what does not come from God. Their teachings are not biblical and they invent prophecies, dreams and visions. False prophets deceive others by turning them from God, and cause conflict and confusion.
How can we recognize a false prophet? Studying the Bible. If someone preaches something that goes against the Bible, he is a false prophet. It is also important to see if the prophecy is fulfilled. If it does not happen, it is because it came from the person's imagination, not from God.
We must avoid false prophets. His teachings only bring problems and can deceive even believers. Therefore, it is very important to know the Bible and have intimacy with God, to distinguish between right and wrong.


False Prophets in the Bible

In the past false prophets have appeared among the people, just as false teachers will arise among you. These will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Sovereign who rescued them, bringing upon themselves sudden destruction. Many will follow the shameful ways of these men and, because of them, the way of truth will be slandered. In their covetousness, such masters will exploit them with stories they have invented. His condemnation hath long been upon them, and their destruction shall not delay. 2 Peter 2: 1-3

Hold fast the faithful word, which is according to the doctrine, that it may be able both to admonish with sound doctrine, and to convince those who contradict. For there are many that are disorderly, speaking, vain, and deceitful, especially those of the circumcision, to whom it is fitting to cover the mouth; Men who upset entire houses by teaching what is not convenient, out of greedy greed. One of them, his own prophet, said: The Cretans are always liars, bad beasts, lazy belly. This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith. Titus 1: 9-13



But the prophet who dares to speak in my name something that I have not commanded him, or that speak on behalf of other gods, will have to be killed. ' "But perhaps you ask yourself, 'How will we know if a message does not come from the Lord?' If what the prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not happen or be fulfilled, this message does not come from the Lord.That prophet spoke with presumption.don't be afraid of him.
Deuteronomy 18: 20-22

"Watch out for the false prophets, they come to you clothed in sheep's clothing, but inside they are devouring wolves, you will recognize them by their fruits." Can any one gather grapes from a thorn bush or figs from weeds? But the bad tree bears bad fruit: a good tree can not bear bad fruit, neither can a bad tree bear good fruit: every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. They will recognize!
Matthew 7: 15-20

Do not treat the prophecies with contempt, but put all things to the test and keep what is good.
1 Thessalonians 5: 20-21

I commend you, brethren, to watch out for those who cause divisions and obstruct the teaching you have received. Get away from them. For these people are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites. By soft words and flattery, they deceive the heart of the naive. Romans 16: 17-18


If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree with the sound doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that is according to godliness, he is proud and understands nothing. This shows an unhealthy interest in controversies and contentions about words, which result in envy, quarrels, defamations, malignant suspicions and constant friction between those who have corrupted minds and who are deprived of truth, who think that piety is a source Of profit.
1 Timothy 6: 3-5

Beloved, do not believe in any spirit, but examine the spirits to see if they come from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4: 1

For there will appear false Christs and false prophets who will perform signs and wonders to deceive the elect, if possible. So be aware: I warned you of everything in advance.
Mark 13: 22-23


Yes, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, "declares the Lord." They report them, and with their irresponsible lies they turn my people away. I did not send them or authorize them; And they bring no benefit to this people, "declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:32


"Therefore thus saith the Sovereign LORD, Because of his false words and his lying visions, I am against you: the word of the Lord, the Lord: My hand shall be against the prophets who have false visions, and make false divinations. Shall not be enrolled in the records of the nation of Israel, and shall not enter into the land of Israel: then shall ye know that I am the Lord, the Lord.
Ezequiel 1

3: 8-9 Thus saith the Lord: "To the prophets who cause my people to turn aside, and when they give them what to chew, they proclaim peace, but proclaim holy war against anyone who does not fill their mouths: For all this the night will come The sun shall set, and the day shall be darkened for the prophets: the astonished seers and the soothsayers, all shall cover the face, for there shall be no part of God. " Micah 3: 5-7But the beast was taken, and with it the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs in her name, with whom he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and worshiped the image of it. The two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Revelation 19:20

The mission of the seventy disciples
1 And after this the LORD appointed seventy more, and sent them before his face, two by two, into all the cities and places whither he was to go.
2 And he said unto them, The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
3Id; Behold, I command you as lambs among wolves.

LETTER BACK TO PASTORAL VALUES ...

II TIMOTHY 2: 14-15

Conduct to follow with those who depart from sound doctrine and Christian purity
14 Bring these things to remembrance, and command them before the Lord, that they should not have contentions of words, which are of no avail, and are for the perversion of the hearers.
15 Seek to present yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, that doth well handle the word of truth.

CO-OPERATE FOR THE ADVANCE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ...
MINISTRY THAT ALL WE CAN EXERCISE ...
HOW CAN A SIMPLE MEMBER EXERCISE THE WORK OF GOD?

1st FUNCTION IN THE KINGDOM: BEING A FATHER / MOTHER
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CRAFTS THAT EXIST!
BE HUSBAND (WIFE) / BE FATHER (MALE) BEFORE EXERCISING A CHARGE IN THE CHURCH. BE FATHER (MOTHER) FORMING HONEST CITIZENS, GOOD HUSBANDS, MINISTERS OF THE WORD, FORMING PEOPLE AND RESPECTING PEOPLE, MEN AND WOMEN WELL. THAT MAKES A GOOD WITNESS BEFORE MEN.
PROVERBS 22: 6 Educate a child in the way he should go; And when he is old he shall not depart from it.

THIS TEXT WAS WRITTEN TO PARENTS. TEACHES THE CHILD, SHAPE, INSTRUCTS AND EVEN WHEN AGING WILL NOT FORGET.
A FATHER FORMS GOOD CHILDREN, PREPARING HIS FILHOSARA LIFE, EDUCATING THEM.

WHAT CHANGES A SOCIETY?
HAVING CITIZENS HONEST, INDEPENDENT PEOPLE, WITH VALUES PASSED BY THEIR PARENTS, THESE VALUES: HONESTY, GRATITUDE, RESPECT, LOVE, COMPASSION, SINCERITY, KINDNESS, FORGIVENESS, DONATION.
MEN AND WOMEN TRANSFORMERS OF THEIR MIDDLE. INFLUENCING ANY SOCIETY.
• MAKE YOUR DAUGHTER, AN EXCELLENT WIFE, HOUSEWIFE.
• MAKE YOUR CHILD, AN EXCELLENT HUSBAND, GUARD WHO WILL PRIZE FOR HIS FAMILY.
TEACHING THEM THE VALUES OF WORDS HOW: PLEASE, THANK YOU, LICENSE, FORGIVE ME, EXCUSE ME. TO RESPECT THE ELDERLY, THE LEADERS, THE PATTERNS, TO BE GENTILE, SOLICIT (A), GRATE (A).
MAN OF GOD, PIEDOSO, PERPETUATOR OF THE GOSPEL.
DO NOT FORGET TO INVEST IN PEOPLE OUT AND DO NOT INVEST IN YOUR FAMILY TEACHING, GIVING THE EXAMPLE.

GENESIS 18: 18-19
God announces the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
18 For Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blessed?
19 For I know him, and I know that he shall command his sons and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and justice; That the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken concerning him.

ABRAHAM HAD HOW TO ORDER (HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR TEACHING) HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSE TO SAVE THE WAY OF THE LORD

DEUTERONOMY 6: 4-12

4 Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD.
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;
7 And thou shalt teach them thy children, and shalt talk of them in thy house, and walk in the way, and lie down, and arise.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign in thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them in the posts of thy house, and in thy gates.
10 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which shall give thee great and good cities, which thou buildest not,
11 And houses full of all good that you did not fill, and wells dug, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant and eat, and you were satisfied,
12 Take heed to yourselves, that thou forget not the LORD, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

1st UNION OF THE FATHER: DEVELOP THE SALVATION OF HIS CHILDREN AND DISCIPLE THEM
GALATIANS 4: 19 My little children, through whom I again bear birth pains, until Christ be formed in you;

YOUR CHILD IS NOT BORN BELOW, BORN CONVICTED.
YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVING PLEASURES FOR JESUS ​​CHRIST TO BE GENERATED IN THE HEART OF YOUR CHILDREN. TO REPENT, BELIEVE FOR SALVATION. HE IS UNPATHY AND A SINNER UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
THE FIRST EVANGELISTS OF THE CHILDREN ARE THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER.

JOB 1: 5
The virtue, temptation and loss of Job
5 And it came to pass, when the days of their feasting were over, that he sent Job, and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all; For Job said, My children may have sinned, and they have cursed God in their hearts. So did Job continually.

THE CHILDREN NEED TO HAVE A SAVIOR EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST. CALLING CHILDREN TO REPENTANCE.

2nd FUNCTION IN THE KINGDOM: BEING A HUSBAND
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WORKING, TEACHING, LOVING, INTERCEDING BY THE WIFE


Ephesians 5: 22-33

Domestic duties
22 O ye wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD;
23 For the husband is the head of the woman, even as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so also let women be subject to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for her,
26 To sanctify her, and to cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
27 To present to himself a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and blameless.
28 So husbands ought to love their own wives, as to their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no man hated his own flesh; But nourisheth and nourisheth it, and the Lord also to the church;
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; And two shall be one flesh.
32 Great is this mystery; But I tell you about Christ and the church.
33 So also let every man in particular love his own wife as himself, and let the wife revere her husband.

THE OFFICE OF CHRIST IS TO SANCTIFY, DISCIPLINATE, PREPARE THE CHURCH AND PRESENT IT IMMACULATED TO GOD.
God gave you a wife, take care of her. Just as Christ cares for the church.
NOTE: THE WOMAN CAN LEARN ... THE PASTORAL OFFICE IS FOR MEN. TEACH HER TO READ THE BIBLE AND EXPLAIN THE PARTS THAT HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND. INTERCED BY YOUR WIFE.

3rd FUNCTION IN THE KINGDOM: BEING A MISSIONARY (A)

BE A MISSIONARY AT SCHOOL, AT SCHOOL. WHEN YOU ENTER A COLLEGE, YOU ENTER YOUR MISSION.
MISSIONARY FIELD VAST WITH PEOPLE OF ALL CREDITS AND RELIGIONS.
GOD MAKES YOU UP AS A MISSIONARY.

DANIEL 1: 3-9
The education of Daniel and other Hebrew youth at the court of Nebuchadnezzar

3 And the king said to Aspenaz, the chief of his eunuchs, that he should bring some of the children of Israel, and of the royal lineage, and of the princes,
4 Young men in whom there was no blemish, good-looking, and learned in all wisdom, and learned in knowledge, and skilled in attending the king's palace, and taught the letters and the tongue Of the Chaldeans.
5 And the king gave them a daily portion of the king's delicacies, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be kept for three years, that at the end they might stand before the king.
6 And among them were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah;
7 And the chief of the eunuchs gave them other names, and Daniel put the name of Belteshazzar, and Hananiah the brother of Shadrach, and Mishael the brother of Meshach, and Azariah the brother of Abednego.
8 And Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank; Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
9 And God made Daniel to find grace and mercy before the prince of the eunuchs.


DANIEL, SADRAQUE, MESAQUE AND ABEDENEGO ENTERED THE FACULTY OF BABYLON.


DANIEL 3: 28-30

The golden statue: the companions of Daniel in the furnace of burning fire

28 And Nebuchadnezzar spake, saying, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel, and delivered his servants, who trusted in him: for they violated the king's word, and preferred to give up their bodies, that they should not serve Nor worship another god, but his God.
29 By me therefore a decree is made, whereby all the people, and a nation, and a tongue that speaketh blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be torn to pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; For there is no other God that can deliver like this. (THE GOOD TESTIMONY OF THEM BEFORE NABUCODONOSOR, exerted influence)
30 And the king made Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego prosper in the province of Babylon.

YOU CAN BE A MISSIONARY IN YOUR WORK. YOU ARE INFLUENCING PEOPLE.

GENESIS 41: 33-42

33 Therefore, let Pharaoh be careful now of a wise and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 And Pharaoh shall do this, and appoint rulers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,
35 And gather together all the food of the good years that come, and hew the corn under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and keep it.
36 So shall the food be for provision of the land for the seven years of famine that shall be in the land of Egypt; That the land may not perish with hunger.
37 And this word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the sight of all his servants.
Pharaoh puts Joseph as governor of Egypt
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Would we find such a man as this in whom is the spirit of God?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, For God hath shewed thee all these things, no man is wise and wise as thou art.
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and through thy mouth shall all my people rule, only on the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Behold, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took the ring out of his hand, and put it in the hand of Joseph, and put him on fine linen, and put a golden necklace on his neck.

HOW DO I SERVE GOD? HOW DO I EXERCISE MY OFFICE?

MATTHEW 5: 13-16
The disciples are the salt of the earth and the light of the world
(Mark 9: 49-50 Lk 14: 34-35)
13 You are the salt of the earth; And if the salt is tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? It is for nothing more than to be cast out, and to be trodden by men.
14 You are the light of the world; A city built on a hill can not be hidden;
15 And the lamp is not kindled, and it is put under the bushel, but in the candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

MARK 16: 15-16

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; But he that believeth not shall be damned.

ACTS 20: 20-24

20 As nothing, how helpful is it, I have forsaken you, and teach publicly, and for the houses,
21 Testifying both to the Jews and to the Greeks, conversion to God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now, behold, I bound by the spirit, I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what shall befall me there,
23 But what the Holy Spirit from one city to another reveals to me, saying that prisons and tribulations await me.
24 But I do not regard my life as precious, as long as I joyfully do my work and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear witness to the gospel of the grace of God.

4th FUNCTION IN THE KINGDOM: WORK IN THE CHURCH

I TIMOTHY 2
15 But she shall be saved, bearing children, if she remain modest in faith, in love, and in sanctification.

I TIMOTHY 3: 1-16

The duties of bishops and deacons
1 THIS is a faithful word: if one desires the episcopate, an excellent work he desires.
2 Therefore the bishop must be blameless, the husband of a woman, watchful, sober, honest, hospitable, fit to teach;
3 Not given to wine, not a bully, not greedy for greed, but moderate, not contentious, not greedy;
4 Let him rule well in his own house, having his children in subjection, with all modesty
5 For if any man know not how to rule his own house, he shall take care of the church of God?
6 Not a neophyte, that he should not fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 And he that hath a good record of them that are without, lest he fall into reproach, and into the snare of the devil.
8 In like manner the deacons be honest, not of double tongue, not given to much wine, not covetous of coarse greed;
9 Keeping the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also be first tasted, then serve, if they be blameless.
8 But if a man does not take care of his own, and especially of his own family, he denies the faith, and is worse than the unfaithful.
9 Let no widow be ever enrolled under the age of sixty, and only the wife of one husband;
10 Having a testimony of good works: If he brought up his children, he exercised hospitality, he washed his feet with the saints, he helped the afflicted, and did all the good work.
11 But do not admit the younger widows, for when they become weak against Christ, they want to marry;
12 Having already condemned them for having annihilated the first faith.
13 Moreover, they also learn to walk idle from house to house; And not only idle, but also parole and curious, speaking what is not convenient.
14 I want therefore that the young women marry, and bear children, and rule the house, and cause no adversary to curse;
15 For some have turned aside after Satan.
16 If a believer or a believer has widows, help them, and let the church not be overloaded, that they may be the widows.

ACTS 6
The institution of deacons
3 Choose, then, brethren among you, seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we have appointed over this important business. (GOOD CONDUCT)

Luke 6: 12-16

Election of the twelve
(Mt 10: 1-4 Mark 2: 13-19)
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went up into the mountain to pray, and stayed the night in prayer unto God.
13 And when it was day, he called his disciples to himself, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles:
14 Simon, whom he also called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philippe and Bartholomew;
15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot;
16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.


I THESSALONIANS 5: 17-21
Diverse precepts, vows and greetings
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In all things give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not despise the prophecies.
21 Examine everything. Hold fast the good.

ACTS 2: 42-47

42 And they persevered in the doctrine of the apostles, and in fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And in all the soul was fear, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things in common.
45 And they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed it to all, according to every man there was a matter.
46 And as they continued daily in the temple, and broke the bread in the house, they ate together with joy and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and falling in the grace of all the people. And every day the Lord added to the church those who were to be saved.

II CORINTHIANS 6: 1-10

The self-denial of Paul in his ministry
1 And we, working with him also, exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in an acceptable time, And I have helped thee in the day of salvation: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
3 Not giving scandal to anything, that our ministry may not be censured;
4 Rather, as ministers of God, making us commendable in all things; In much patience, in afflictions, in need, in distress,
5 In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in works, in vigils, in fastings,
6 In purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in unfeigned love,
7 In the word of truth, in the power of God, by the weapons of righteousness, on the right and on the left,
8 For honor and dishonor, for dishonor and for good reputation; As deceivers, and being true;
9 As unknown, but well known; As dying, and, behold, we are alive; As punished, not dead;
10 As sorrowful, but always joyful; As poor, but enriching many; As having nothing, and possessing all things.

FILEMOM 1: 1-7

ACTS 9: 17-20
17 And Ananias went and entered into the house, and laid his hands upon him, and said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, which hath appeared unto thee in the way whither thou goest, hath sent me, that ye may see again, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes like scales, and he recovered his sight; And he arose and was baptized.
The pursuer is persecuted (or the persecutor becomes persecuted)
19 And when he had eaten, he was comforted. And Saul was there a few days with the disciples that were in Damascus.
20 And immediately in the synagogues he preached Christ, who is the Son of God.
