WHERE'S YOUR HOME AT STORM?

WE'RE USED TO SEE ON TV (TELE NEWSPAPERS) TRAGED NEWS WHEN THERE ARE STORMS, TEMPORARY, TSUNAMIS, HURRICANES, TORNAS. NATURAL PHENOMENONES NOT ALWAYS PREVIOUSLY DESTROYING CITIES, HOUSES, CONSTRUCTIONS IN MINUTES AND WASHING EVERYTHING WHERE THEY PASS. Leaving a feeling of desolation, despair, panic, fear of tomorrow. FOR SOME MATERIAL LOSSES, FOR OTHER, FAMILY LOSSES AND OTHER STILL ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT TO SAY TO CONSOLATE THESE PEOPLE?

ALSO, THE COMBINATION OF IRREGULAR CONSTRUCTIONS AND NATURAL PHENOMENA ARE GENERALLY FATAL OR LEAVING SEQUELS. WE SEE PEOPLE LOSE EVERYTHING. Even the very life.

The truth is that this disastrous combination can affect our lives and, unexpectedly, as in the passages you will read below.

• WHERE IS OUR HOME, WHICH ARE OURSELVES, AT THE TIME WHICH STORMS OF LIFE ARRIVE?

• WHERE ARE OUR BASES FINISHED?

• Who do we resort to when tragedies knock on our door?

• WHO CAN WE TRUST OUR HELP?

• Where do we go?

• What will we look like after the storm has passed?

• What will happen to us?

• How will we recover from this storm? How to rebuild?

• WHERE TO GO WHEN EVERYTHING IS LOST?

THE REALITY IS THAT THESE STORMS COME ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE QUESTION IS:

1. HOW WILL WE PREPARE WHEN IT PASSES?

2. WHAT DO YOU DO TO MINIMIZE YOUR DAMAGE?

3. WHAT DAMAGE CAN THESE STORMS CAUSE IN OUR LIVES?

4. WHAT WILL OUR REACTION BEFORE HER? Are we safe or not? WILL IT MAKE IT SEQUELLE OR NOT?

5. WHAT OUR POSTURE BEFORE THE UNEXPECTED?

6. Will we learn something from her or not?

7. OUR FAITH WILL BE TESTED. WILL WE BE APPROVED OR NOT?

8. Can we get us back? WITH WHO'S HELP?

9. ARE WE STRONGER OR NOT?

10. To whom shall we give due thanks for such a great deliverance? OR COMFORT?

There are times when the storm comes without "weather forecast" as in the case below, unexpectedly. It's so strong, it looks like we're going to succumb. It's so desperate that there seems to be no solution. WINDS ARE CONTRARY AND WE DO NOT EXIT. HOWEVER, REMEMBER: JESUS ​​IS IN THE BOAT OF HIS LIFE, SLEEPING ON A PILLOW KNOW WHY? He doesn't need to worry, Jesus is the answer. It is the solution. He is expecting to be awakened by your distress call.

MARK 4: 35-41

Jesus appeases the storm

(Mt 8: 23-27 Luke 8: 22-25)

35 And when it was evening, he said unto them, Let us go over to the other side.

36 And they, leaving the multitude, took him with him as he was in the boat; And there were with him other little boats.

37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were rising over the boat, so that it was full.

38 And he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow, and they awoke him, saying unto him, Master, dost thou not perish?

39 And he aroused and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Be still, be still. And the wind stilled, and there was great calm.

40 And he said unto them, Why are you so shy? Don't you have faith yet?

41 And they felt a great fear, and said one to another, But who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Hearing the Word of the Eternal Yahweh, try to practice it. BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE ROCK. INTEMPTERS WILL COME. BUT, THEY CAN'T SHAK YOUR HOUSE (LIFE), BECAUSE IT IS FIRMED ON THE ROCK THAT IS JESUS.

MATTHEW 7: 24-29

(Luke 6: 46-49)

24 And whosoever heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto the wise man that built his house upon the rock;

25 And the rain came down, and rivers flowed, and winds blew, and fought against that house, and it did not fall, because it was built on the rock.

26 And he that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, I will liken him to the foolish man that built his house upon the sand;

27 And the rain came down, and rivers flowed, and winds blew, and fought against that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.

28 And it came to pass that when Jesus had concluded this discourse, the multitude wondered at his teaching.

29 Because he taught them as having authority; and not like the scribes.

DID YOU KNOW?

THAT'S TRUE FATHER LOVE ...

IF YOU'RE PASSING THROUGH ETERNAL DISCIPLINE, JOY! HE LOVES YOU!

WHAT THE ETERNAL YHWH EXPECTS FROM US ...

MATTHEW 5: 43-48

43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you; that ye may be children of your Father which is in heaven;

45 For he causes his sun to rise upon evil and good, and rain to fall upon the just and the unrighteous.

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not the publicans also the same?

47 And if you greet only your brothers, what do you do too much? Aren't publicans like that too?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

HEBREWS 12: 1-29

Perseverance in the midst of trials, following the example of Christ

1 Therefore we also, because we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us leave all the awkwardness, and the sin that so closely surrounds us, and run patiently on the career that is set before us,

2 Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of the faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the affront, and sat at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 Consider therefore him that endured such contradictions of sinners against himself, that ye be not weakened, failing in your spirits.

4 You have not yet resisted to the blood, fighting against sin.

5 And you have already forgotten the exhortation which you argue with you as sons: My son, do not despise the Lord's correction, and do not faint when you are reproved by Him;

6 For the LORD correcteth he that loveth, and beateth him that receiveth for a son.

7 If you endure correction, God treats you as sons; For what son is the father not right?

8 But if you are without discipline, in which everyone is made a participant, then you are bastards, not children.

9 Moreover, we had our fathers after the flesh, to correct us, and we reverenced them; Shall we not subject ourselves much more to the Father of spirits to live?

10 For those, indeed, for a little while corrected us as they saw fit; but this, for our benefit, to be partakers of his holiness.

11 And indeed all correction to the present seems not to be joyful but sadness, but afterward it produces a peaceful fruit of righteousness in those exercised by it.

Exhortation to holiness: several precepts

12 Therefore lift up the weary hands, and the broken knees,

13 And make straight paths for your feet, that whoever limps may not turn aside, but be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord;

15 Beware lest any man deprive himself of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up trouble you, and many defile themselves by it.

16 And let no one be wanton or profane, like Esau, who has sold his birthright for a meal.

17 For ye know that, though he would later inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he found no place of repentance, though he sought him with tears.

18 For you have not come to the palpable mountain, burning with fire and darkness and darkness and storm,

19 And the sound of the trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard, asked that they should no more speak to them;

20 For they could not abide what they were commanded: If an animal touches the mountain, it will be stoned or thrown with a dart.

21 And so terrible was the vision, that Moses said, I am all amazed and trembling.

22 But you came to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the many thousands of angels;

23 To the universal assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect;

24 And to Jesus the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaks better than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh; For if those who have rejected what on earth warned them have not escaped, much less we, if we turn from Him who is from heaven;

26 The voice of which he then moved the earth, and now he said, saying, Yet once more will I move not only the earth, but the heaven also.

27 And this word: Yet once more, it shows the change of moveable things, as things done, that the immovables may remain.

28 Therefore, having received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us retain grace, whereby we may serve God pleasantly, with reverence and godliness;

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

LUCAS 11: 9-13

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it will be opened to you;

10 For everyone who asks receives; and the seeker findeth; And to him who knocks it will open.

11 And which father of you, if his son ask him for bread, shall he give him a stone? Or, if you ask for fish, will you give him a snake for fish?

12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?

13 For if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

IT'S STILL POSSIBLE! GO BACK TO FATHER'S ARMS ...

GO BACK TO FATHER ... HE'S STILL ARMS OPEN ...

HAPPY EVERY DAY, IT'S DAY TO NEAR FATHER!

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ARE? What choices did you make? WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE AFTER THESE CHOICES? What sufferings have you gone through? IF THERE WAS REPENTANCE? IF I WAS LEARNED? HELP OTHERS ON THE WAY? IF I WAS HELPED?

IF YOUR HEART HARDENED BY PAIN? OR IF YOU ARE BROKEN?

BUT, ONE THING I KNOW:

NO MATTER HOW MUCH SIN ARE YOU?

NO MATTER HOW DIRTY DO YOU FEEL?

We have an everlasting, loving, merciful, compassionate Father, who sees our pains and sufferings, and yet he is open-armed to forgive us. KNOW YOU NEARER AND DEPEND ON HIM.

PSALM 119: 65-72

I trust your commandments

65 O LORD God, you have kept your promise

and you have been good to me, your servant.

66 Give me wisdom and knowledge, for I trust in your commandments.

Before you punished me, I was wrong, but now I obey your word.

68 O God, you are good and you do good; teach me your commandments.

69 The proud tell lies against me,

but I obey your commandments with all my heart.

70 These men don't want to learn your law, but I take pleasure in it.

71 It was good that I had been punished, so I learned your commandments.

72 Your law is worth more to me than all the wealth in the world.

Many times the suffering comes from the bad choices we make. At a moment of impetuousness, at a moment of rebellion. YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE YOUR OWN WISHES BY INFLUENCE OF THIRD PARTIES OR YOURSELF. THIS HAPPENED WITH THE YOUNGEST SON OF A RIGHT MAN ... DO YOU KNOW THE PROUD SON'S HISTORY?

LUCAS 15: 11-32

The Parable of the Lost Son

11 And Jesus said,

- A man had two kids. 12 One day the younger said to his father, "Father, I want you to give me now my share of the inheritance."

- And the father divided the goods between the two. 13 A few days later, the younger son gathered up all that was his own and left for a country far away. There he lived a life full of sin and wasted all he had.

14 - The boy had already spent it all, when there was a great famine in that country, and he began to have need.15 Then he sought one of the inhabitants of that land and asked for help. He sent him to his farm to take care of the pigs.16 There, hungry, he wanted to eat what the pigs ate, but nobody gave him anything. Falling into himself, he thought, “How many of my father's workers have left over food, and I'm here starving! 18 I will go back to my father's house and say, "Father, I have sinned against God and against you, 19 and I no longer deserve to be called your son." Accept me as one of your workers. '”20 So he left and went back to his father's house.

- When the boy was still away from home, the father spotted him. And, pitying his son, he ran and hugged him and kissed him. 21 And the son said, "Father, I have sinned against God and against you, and I no longer deserve to be called your son!"

22 But the father commanded the servants, “Hurry! Bring the best outfit and wear it. Put a ring on his toe and sandals on his feet. 23 Also bring and kill the fat calf. Let's start celebrating 24 because this son of mine was dead and lived again; was lost and was found. ”

- And they started the party.

25 Meanwhile, the eldest son was in the field. When he returned and came close to the house, he heard the music and the noise of the dance. 26 Then he called an employee and asked, "What is going on?"

27 - The servant replied: “Your brother returned home alive and well. That's why your father had the fat calf killed. ”

28 - The eldest son was angry and would not enter. Then his father came out and urged him to come in. 29 But he replied, “I have been working for a slave for you for so many years, and I have never disobeyed an order from you. Even so, you never even gave me a kid to have a party with my friends. 30 But this son of yours squandered all that you owned, spending money on prostitutes. And now he comes back, and you have the fat calf killed! ”

31 - Then the father answered, “My son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to have this party to show our joy. For this brother of his was dead and lived again; was lost and was found. ”

MATTHEW 6: 24-34

God and the riches

24 A slave cannot serve two masters at the same time, for he will reject one and prefer the other; or be faithful to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and also serve money.

That's why I tell you, don't worry about the food and drink you need to live or the clothes you need to get dressed. After all, is life no more important than food? And is the body no more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds that fly across the sky: they do not sow, they do not reap, nor do they store food. However, your Father in heaven feeds them. Aren't you worth much more than birds? And none of you can lengthen your life, no matter how much you worry about it.

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers in the field grow: they don't work or make clothes for themselves. 29 But I tell you that not even Solomon, being so rich, wore clothes as beautiful as these flowers. 30 God is the one who wears the grass of the field, which gives flower today and disappears tomorrow, burned in the oven. Then of course he will dress you too, who have such little faith! 31 So don't worry, asking, “Where are we going to get food?” Or “Where are we going to get drink?” Or “Where are we going to get clothes?” 32 For the heathen are always looking for these things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all this. 33 Therefore, put first the kingdom of God and that which God wills in your life, and he will give you all these things. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring your own concerns. Each day has its own difficulties.

READ PSALM 139 GOD'S OMNIPRESENCE AND OMNIPOTENCE. YOU WILL SEE HOW MUCH YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT TO HIM!

PROMISE:

MATTHEW 10

Confess and deny Christ

32 - If a person publicly affirms that he belongs to me, I also, on the Day of Judgment, will affirm before my Father in heaven that he belongs to me. 33 But if a person publicly says that he does not belong to me, I will say on Judgment Day before my Father in heaven that he does not belong to me.

STILL POSSIBLE, GO BACK TO FATHER'S ARMS! DO NOT ALLOW PRIDE OR ANY SIN TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM THE BREEDER! FALL ON YOU! AND RECOGNIZE YOUR ERRORS IN PRAYER. The Eternal wants to forgive you and have communion with you. FOR THE ETERNAL WISHES TO SAVE.

1 Timothy 2: 1-6

1 Therefore I warn you, first of all, to make deprecations, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all men;

2 By kings, and by all that are in the highest, that we may lead a quiet and quiet life in all godliness and honesty;

3 For this is good and pleasant before God our Savior,

4 Who wants all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Jesus Christ the man.

6 Who gave himself a redemption price for all, to be a testimony in his day.

WHAT IS YOUR HARVEST?

THE ETERNAL (YHWH) HAS NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF NO ONE THAT IS LOST!

• MANY PEOPLE BEFORE TRAGEDIA ASK WHY DID THE ETERNAL LET THIS HAPPEN?

• Why did I pray so much and my relative died?

• Why did the Eternal allow this sickness?

• WHY LOST MY HOUSE?

• Why did this accident happen?
THE ANSWER MAY BE IN OUR SAME OR IN THE PURPOSES OF THE ETERNAL THAT EVEN WITH YOU, WILL REVEAL ...


39 Why, then, does the living man complain? Complain each of your sins.
Lamentations 3:39

THAT'S THE LAW:

Galatians 6: 7 Do not err: God will not be mocked. For whatever a man sows, he will also reap.

IF THERE IS REPENTANCE, THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES, BUT NOT DEATH. (SPIRITUAL)

EZEQUIEL 33: 10-12

10 Thou therefore, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus spake ye, saying, Since our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we fail in them, how shall we then live?

11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Be converted, be converted from your evil ways; For why shall you die, O house of Israel?

12 Thou therefore, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall for it in the day that he turns from his wickedness. Neither can the righteous live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.

EZEQUIEL 18: 1-32

The responsibility is personal

1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 What do you think that you that use this parable about the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten green grapes, and the teeth of their children are dull?

3 I live, saith the Lord GOD, that ye shall never speak this parable in Israel.

4 Behold, all souls are mine; as is the soul of the father, so is the soul of the son mine: the soul that sins shall die.

5 Therefore being a righteous man, and doing judgment and righteousness,

6 Neither eating upon the mountains, nor lifting up their eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiling the wife of their neighbor, and drawing nigh unto the woman in their separation;

7 By not oppressing anyone, rendering the debtor his pledge, not stealing, giving his bread to the hungry, and covering the naked with clothes,

8 Not giving their money to usury, and not receiving too much, turning their hand from unrighteousness, and making true judgment between man and man;

9 By walking in my statutes, and keeping my judgments, and doing according to the truth, the just shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

10 And if he begat a thief-bloodshed son, to do to his brother any of these things;

11 And not to do all those duties, but to eat upon the mountains, and to defile his neighbour's wife,

12 To oppress the poor and needy, to steal, not to pledge, and to lift up their eyes to idols, and to commit abomination;

13 And lend with usury, and receive much, shall he live? It will not live. All these abominations he has done will surely die; your blood will be upon him.

14 And, behold, also, if he begets a son to see all the sins his father has done, and seeing them, he does no such thing,

15 Do not eat upon the mountains, nor lift up their eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defile the wife of their neighbor;

16 And oppress no one, and hold not the pledge, nor steal, give his bread to the hungry, and cover the naked with clothing;

17 To turn away his hand from the poor, to receive no usury and interest, to fulfill my judgments, and to walk in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father; surely will live.

18 His father, because he had done extortion, stole his brother's goods, and did evil in the midst of his people, behold, he shall die for their iniquity.

19 But ye say, Why shall not the son bear the iniquity of the father? For the son proceeded with righteousness and justice, and kept all my statutes, and did them, and he shall surely live.

20 The soul that sins shall die; the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall fall upon him.

21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins, and keep all my statutes, and do justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; will not die.

22 Of all the transgressions which he hath committed, there shall be no remembrance against him; for the righteousness that he has done shall live.

23 Would I desire the death of the wicked anyway? saith the Lord GOD; Do I not long before I turn from your ways, and live?

24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked do, shall he live? Of all the righteousnesses which he has done, there shall be no memory; in his transgression with which he transgressed, and in his sin with which he sinned, he shall die in them.

25 But you say, The way of the Lord is not right. Hear now, O house of Israel, Is not my way straight? Aren't your ways winding?

26 If the righteous turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity, he shall die for it; in iniquity which he has committed shall die.

27 But when the wicked of his wickedness is turned back, and will do so with justice and righteousness, he shall keep his soul alive.

28 For he reconsiders and turns from all his transgressions which he has committed; surely will live, not die.

29 But the house of Israel says, The way of the LORD is not right. Are not my ways right, O house of Israel? And are not your ways crooked?

30 Therefore will I judge you, every one according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, and iniquity shall not cause you to stumble.

31 Cast away from you all your transgressions with which you have transgressed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; For why should ye die, O house of Israel?

32 For I have no pleasure in the death of the dead, saith the Lord GOD; Turn therefore, and live.

How does God view violence?
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Many people, including some who are religious, feel that violence is a justified reaction to provocation. And millions consider media violence an acceptable form of entertainment.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Near the city of Mosul in northern Iraq are the ruins of what was once a large city: Nineveh, the capital of the former Assyrian Empire. While the city was still a thriving metropolis, the Bible predicted that God would "make Nineveh a desolate waste," that is, ruin it. (Zephaniah 2:13) God said He would humble Nineveh because she was a "city of bloodshed." (Nahum 1: 1; 3: 1, 6) And “Jehovah [God] hates the man who sheds blood,” says Psalm 5: 6. As the ruins of Nineveh prove, God kept his word.

The violence began with the main enemy of God and man - Satan the Devil whom Jesus called a "murderer." (John 8:44) Moreover, since the whole world is “in the power of the wicked,” many people's attitudes toward violence, including their obsession with violent entertainment, are a reflection of Satan's characteristics. (1 John 5:19) To please God, we must develop hatred of violence and cultivate love for what God loves. * It is possible?

“Jehovah. . . hates those who love violence. ”- Psalm 11: 5.

Can violent people change?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Violence is simply part of human nature, which never changes.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

According to the Bible, we must reject "wrath, wrath, wickedness, outrageous language, and obscene talk." She also says, “Remove the old personality with its practices, and put on the new personality.” (Colossians 3: 8-10) Is God asking too much of us? No. People can change. *As?

 The first step is to get accurate knowledge about God. (Colossians 3:10) When a receptive person learns about our Creator, he is drawn to his standards and qualities. In this way she develops love for him and wants to please him. - 1 John 5: 3.

The second step is related to our friendships. The Bible says: “A man of violence will seduce his neighbor and will surely lead him in a way that is not good.” - Proverbs 16:29.

The third step involves discernment. It must be recognized that the tendency to violence is a serious weakness, as it reflects a lack of self-control. A peaceful person, on the other hand, has inner strength. “Better is the slow to anger than the mighty man,” says Proverbs 16:32.

“Commit yourselves to peace with all.” - Hebrews 12:14.

Will violence end someday?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Violence has always existed and always will exist.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

“And just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more. . . . But the meek themselves shall possess the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. ”(Psalm 37:10, 11) To save the meek and peaceful, God will make those who love violence have the same end as the people of ancient Nineveh. . After that, violence will never harm the earth again! - Psalm 72: 7.

“The mild-tempered ones. . . will inherit the earth. ”- Matthew 5: 5
So now is the time to strive to please God by developing a peaceful attitude. The text of 2 Peter 3: 9 says: “Jehovah. . . He is patient with you because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but he wants everyone to repent. ”
“And they shall have to forge plowshares from their swords, and their spears, pruners.” - Isaiah 2: 4.
