DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE VIPOR!
DO WHAT'S RIGHT ...
LUCAS 10: 18-20
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and all the might of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 But do not rejoice, because the spirits are subject to you. but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
REVELATION 12: 9-10
9 And the great dragon, the ancient serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world, was precipitated; he was precipitated on the earth, and his angels were thrown with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now is salvation come, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ; For the accuser of our brethren is overthrown, which accused them before our God day and night.
JOHN 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.
REV 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
In the passages described above, every time one speaks of a snake, a thief refers to satan. SATAN IS OUR ENEMY. IT'S EVIL, PERVERSE, PERSPECTIVE, INTELLIGENT, AGILE AND SPEED, BEYOND AUDACIOUS, BOLD. He works 24 hours a day to kill, steal and destroy the human being. YOUR GREATEST MISTAKE: MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE IT DOES NOT EXIST. THAT IS FICTION, MYTHIC OR FOLLORIC CHARACTER. YOUR GREATEST FUEL IS SIN. YOUR TARGET ALL HUMAN BEING, BUT MAINLY THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS AND HAS IN WITNESS.
SATAN IS OBSERVER AND FOLLOWS OUR STEPS SINCE OUR MOTHERS. BY OBSERVING OUR BEHAVIOR, MANAGEMENT AND WORDS, YOU CAN ASSUME OUR ACTIONS AND REACTIONS. NO DIFFERENT IN PAUL'S LIFE. Many or almost all the adversities that Paul went through were caused or used by the enemy to cause suffering in Paul's life. SATAN STILL NOT WANT, WORKS FOR ETERNAL YHWH. WHY THIS HAS USED THESE ADVERSITIES TO PERFECT PAUL. So, as it happens to us.
WE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF VIPOR, SNAKE, SATAN. SO, AS PAUL, WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO KNOW THE ETERNAL, EVEN SUFFERING ADVERSITIES. IF BY HELPING SOMEONE BRINGING COMFORT TO YOU, A SNAKE GOES OUT FROM THE ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS NO FEAR, JESUS GIVES US AUTHORITY SO THAT WE WILL NOT DIE FOR THE "SNAKE". WE MAY UNTIL BE PICKED HOWEVER, WE'LL NOT 'SWELL' OR 'DIE'. THIS “SNAKE” REPRESENTS SATAN WITH HIS FLAMED DARTS, HIS SPIRITUAL POISON IN ORDER OF KILLING SPIRITUALLY, AWAY FROM THE CREATOR YHWH. WE DON'T IGNORE YOUR ARDIS. REMAIN DOING GOOD, WHICH IS SURE EVEN THAT HELP RETALIATIONS ... SEEK SANCTIFICATION AND PERSON IT AS SUFFERINGS INCREASE ... REWARD COMES FROM ETERNAL YHWH IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON. THE BIBLE SPEAKS THAT ETERNAL YHWH IS CONSUMER FIRE. ALSO LAUNCH THAT “VIPOR IN FIRE”. The Eternal will do justice. SATAN WILL PAY FOR ALL HIS EVIL AND PERVERSITY. TRUST THE ETERNAL YHWH. PUT IT IN HOPE AND FAITH!
IN THE BIBLICAL EPISODE BELOW, THE APOSTLE PAUL, AFTER UNJUSTIVELY JUSTICE, MAKES A BOAT TRIP TO ITALY, BECAUSE IT SHOULD appear before Cesar. HOWEVER, PAUL WARNED THE BOAT DRIVERS, BECAUSE THE WINDS WERE CONTRARY, THAT THE TRIP WAS DANGEROUS, HAVING RISK OF DAMAGE TO CARGO AND LIVES. HAVED BY A HIGH WIND, CALLED EURO-AQUILION AND STRONG STORM, they feared to die in a wreck. ONE NIGHT, JESUS APPEARS TO THE APOSTLE PAUL, AND CONSOLES HIM SAYING THAT THOSE WHO REMAIN IN THE BOAT WILL BE SAVED, TOGETHER WITH PAUL. ALREADY FOURTH DAY, ACCOMPANYED FROM COUNTERWINDS AND STORM, THEY GOT TO SEE A BEACH AND WERE TOWARD THERE.
ALREADY SAVED ON THE ISLAND OF MALTA, SOME BARBARIANS THAT ARRIVED AHEAD LIGHT A BONFIRE TO APPLY THE COLD. PAUL, IN THE WAY TO HELP, WAS LOOKING FOR NECKLACES TO INCREASE THE FIRE. WHEN THEY LAUNCHED THEM IN THE FIRE, A VIPOR WAS BETWEEN THE GRAVES AND JUMPED IN HIS HAND AND BITE IT, IN ORDER TO FLEE FROM THE FIRE. PAUL, NOTHING FEARING THROUGH IT IN THE FIRE AND ALL WAITING FOR IT TO DIE, NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIM. And no life has been lost.
WE LEARN SOME LESSONS FROM PAUL'S LIFE. PAULO
• PAUL FOR THE LOVE OF THE GOSPEL AND SOULS, EVEN UNFORTUNATELY, COULD NEVER DO WELL AND HELP PEOPLE;
• REMAINING FAITHFUL TO JESUS, EVEN BEFORE AN INFINITY OF ADVERSITIES;
• Even before a strong wind and storm, kept your trust in God that nothing would happen to you and remain alive, just like the others;
• In no way was he selfish, fed his boating mates, and retained serenity before such an adversity;
• HAD INDOOR PEACE, FOR THE TRUST THAT I HAD EVERYTHING WOULD FINISH WELL;
• WAS NOT AFRAID OF THE VIPOR AND THROUGHT IT INTO FIRE TO BE DESTROYED AND SO DID NOT HURT.
SEE BELOW HOW MANY ADVERSITIES, PAUL WALKED FOR LOVE OF THE GOSPEL AND SOULS AND WAS PERFECTED THROUGH THEM ...
ACTS 27: 1-44
Paul is sent to Italy. The wreck of the ship
1 And as it was determined that we should sail through Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion by the name of Julius of the August cohort.
2 And when we boarded an Adramitine ship, we set sail by the places of the coast of Asia, Aristarchus, Macedonian, of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 And the next day we came to Sidon, and Julius, treating Paul humanly, allowed him to go and see his friends to take care of him.
4 And from thence we sailed below Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had crossed the sea throughout Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Mirra in Lycia.
6 And when the centurion found there a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, made us board him.
7 And as we sailed slowly for many days, having come only in front of Cnido, not allowing the wind to go any further, we sailed below Crete, near Salmone.
8 And having difficulty navigating it, we came to a place called Good Harbors, near which was the city of Lasea.
9 And after a long time, and now navigation was perilous, because the fast had already passed, Paul admonished them,
10 Saying to them, Sirs, I see that shipping must be troublesome, and with much damage, not only to the ship and cargo, but also to our lives.
11 But the centurion creates more in the pilot and in the master than in what Paul said.
12 And since that harbor was not a comfortable place to win, most of them seemed to depart from there to see if they could reach Fenice, which is a port of Crete that looks to the wind side of Africa and the Choir, and winter there.
13 And when the south was blowing gently, they seemed to have what they desired, and they made themselves a sail, and went very near to the coast of Crete.
14 But not long afterward, she gave her a foot of wind, called Euro-Aquila.
15 And when the ship is taken up, and being unable to sail against the wind, giving up all, let us go for nothing.
16 And running down a small island called Clauda, we could only win the boat.
17 And when he was carried up, they used all means, girding up the ship. and fearing that the sails would be stranded at Sirte, so they went for nothing.
18 And when we were troubled by a mighty storm, they eased the ship the next day.
19 And on the third day we ourselves, with our own hands, cast into the sea the ship's frame.
20 And not appearing for many days, neither sun nor stars, and there fell upon us not a little storm, and all hope that we might be saved fled.
21 And when they had not eaten for a long time, then Paul, standing in their midst, said, It was indeed reasonable, O lords, to have heard me, and not depart from Crete; this nuisance and this loss.
22 But now I warn you to be of good cheer, for the life of none of you will be lost, but only the ship.
23 For this very night the angel of God, of whom I am, and whom I serve, was with me,
24 Saying, Paul, fear not; You must be brought before Caesar, and behold, God has given you as many as sail with you.
25 Therefore, sirs, be of good cheer; For I believe in God, that it shall be as I was told.
26 However, it is necessary to go to an island.
27 And when the fourteenth night came, being driven on both sides of the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors that were near by some land became suspicious.
28 Casting the plumb they found twenty fathoms; And going a little farther, casting the plumb again, they found fifteen fathoms.
29 And fearing that they might come upon a few rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern, wishing that the day might come.
30 But when the sailors sought to flee from the ship, and had already laid the boat in the sea, as though to cast anchors at the prow;
31 And Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, If they do not stay in the ship, you cannot save yourselves.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let it fall.
33 And when the day was coming, Paul urged everyone to eat something, saying, It is the fourteenth day which ye wait now, and ye remain without eating, having tasted nothing.
34 Therefore I urge you to eat something, for it is for your health; For not a hair shall fall from the head of any of you.
35 And having said this, taking the bread, he thanked God in the presence of all. and breaking it, he began to eat.
36 And when they were all cheerful, they began to eat.
37 And we were in the ship two hundred seventy and six souls.
38 And when they were redone with food, they lightened the ship by casting the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the earth; but they saw a cove that had a beach, and wondered if they should run aground on it.
40 And they lifted up the anchors, and let him go into the sea, and let go of the tethers; and, raising their larger sail in the wind, they made their way to the beach.
41 So the idea of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners so that none fled, escaping by swimming.
42 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, hampered them; and he commanded that those that could swim should first cast themselves into the sea, and be saved on land;
43 And the rest, some in planks, and some in things of the ship. And so it came to pass that all came to earth safely.
44 As for the rest, they might be saved, some on boards, and some on the ship's wreckage. And that was how everyone was saved on earth.
ACTS 28: 1-1O
Paul in Malta
1 And when they had escaped, they knew that the island was called Malta.
2 And the barbarians used us with no little mankind; For they kindled a great fire, and gathered us all up because of the falling rain, and because of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered a number of vines, and set them in the fire, a viper, fleeing from the heat, took his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the viper hanging in his hand, they said one to another, Surely this man is a murderer, seeing that as he escapes from the sea, righteousness will not let him live.
5 But when he shook the viper in the fire, he suffered no evil.
6 And they hoped that it would swell or fall suddenly dead; but having waited long, and seeing that no trouble came upon him, changing their minds, they said that he was a god.
7 And there, near that place, there were some estates which belonged to the principal of the island, by the name of Publius, which received us and hosted us kindly for three days.
8 And it came to pass that he was sick with a fever, and disgraced the father of Publius, whom Paul came to see, and having prayed, laid his hands upon him, and healed him.
9 And when this was done, the others who had diseases on the island came to him, and they healed.
10 Who also honored us with many honors; and having sailed provided us with the necessary things.
II CORINTHIANS 11: 16-33
Paul's sufferings for the sake of the gospel
16 Again I say, Let no one think me foolish, or receive me as foolish, that he may glory a little also.
17 What I say, I say not according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this confidence that I may boast.
18 For many boast after the flesh, I will also glory.
19 For when you are wise, you will tolerate the foolish.
20 For you are sufferers, if anyone puts you in bondage, if anyone devours you, if anyone catches you, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you in the face.
21 Ashamed I say it, as if we were weak, but as for anyone having boldness (I speak foolishly) I also have boldness.
22 Are they Hebrew? me too. Are they Israelites? me too. Are they Abraham's offspring? me too.
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as outside myself) I even more: in jobs, much more; in stripes, more than they; in prisons, much more; in danger of death often.
24 I received from the Jews five quarantines of scourges minus one.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was wrecked, one night and one day I passed into the abyss;
26 Often in travels, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils of those of my nation, in perils of Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 In labor and fatigue, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fasting often, in cold and nakedness.
28 In addition to outward things, every day the care of all the churches oppresses me.
29 Who is weak, let me not be weak? Who is offended, that I do not scorch me?
30 If I should glory, I will glory in my weakness.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knows that I am not lying.
32 In Damascus the ruler under King Aretas set guards at the gates of the city of Damascus to arrest me.
33 And I was come down in a basket by a window of the wall; and so I escaped from his hands.
