THE SALARY OF SIN IS DEATH!

THOSE WHO HAVE WATCHED THE SERIES REIS ON THE RECORD NETWORK, FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY AT 9PM, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FOLLOW DAVI'S SADNESS AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS SINS: ADULTERY, OMISSION AND MURDER. THESE CONSEQUENCES, WHICH INTERFERED IN THE HARMONY OF HIS FAMILY, WHERE SATAN HAS USED ONE OF HIS CHILDREN IN A REBELLION AGAINST HIM: ABSALON!

GOD HAD WARNED KING DAVID ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS SINS...2 SAMUEL 12: ⁷ Then Nathan said to David, You are the man. Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul;

⁸ And I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah;

⁹ Why then did you despise the word of the Lord, doing evil before his eyes? You slew Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and you took his wife as your wife. and him you slew with the sword of the Ammonites.

¹⁰ Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

¹¹ Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil upon thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and will give them unto thy neighbor, who shall lie with thy wives before the sun.

¹² For thou hast done it in secret, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

¹³ Then David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord also put away your sin; thou shalt not die.

¹⁴ However, because by this deed of this place the enemies of the Lord blaspheme, even the son who was born to you shall surely die. 2 Samuel 12:7-14

ALL THIS PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED!

I CAN SIGN OUT SOME OF DAVI'S MISTAKES SO THAT WE CAN LEARN AND, WE DON'T MAKE MISTAKES IN THE SAME WAY, TO WATCH OUT...

     • THE TRUTH IS THAT ABSALON IS THE FRUIT OF HIS MARRIAGE TO MAACA, A FOREIGN WOMAN, FROM THE LAND OF GESUR, THE IDOLATRIC KINGDOM! THE ERROR STARTED THERE! DAVI AS AN ISRAELITE SHOULD NOT HAVE JOINED A FOREIGN WOMAN WITH CUSTOMS AND BELIEFS DIFFERENT FROM THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL;

      

     • HE SHOULD NOT HAVE MARRIED MANY WOMEN. THE IDEAL WOULD BE ONE ONLY;

      

     • MANY WOMEN, MANY CHILDREN. HIS OCCUPATIONS WITH THE WARS AND THE KINGDOM DIDN'T ALLOW HIM TO WATCH THE COMMUNION OF HIS HOUSE;

      

     • IT DIDN'T ALLOW HIM TO HAVE TIME TO CARE AND GIVE ATTENTION TO THE CHARACTER OF THE CHILDREN, INTERFERING WITH THE INFLUENCES THEY RECEIVED FROM OTHERS DURING THE FATHER'S ABSENCE;

      

     • THE LACK OF DIALOGUES, CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE CREATOR PROBABLY MISSED;

      

     • ABSALON WAS THE SON OF A CHRISTIAN, YET NOT A CHRISTIAN! DAVI KNEW GOD, HIS CHILDREN DID NOT!

I REMEMBER THE WORD OF GOD WHEN I SAID: - WHAT'S THE USE TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR SOUL?

     • WHAT'S THE USE OF DOING SOMETHING FOR THE OUTSIDE AND FORGETTING YOUR FAMILY? YOUR SPOUSE, YOUR CHILDREN?

     • SALVATION IS INDIVIDUAL BUT, WE CAN POSITIVELY INFLUENCE OUR HOME, PRACTICING THE WORD OF GOD! TALKING ABOUT GOD AND HIS WORD! GIVING GOOD EXAMPLES! NOT BEING HYPOCRITES!

     • ABSALON WITH THE ABSENCE OF A CHRISTIAN FATHER WHO COULD INFLUENCE HIM, HE WAS MOLDED BY HIS GRANDFATHER KING OF GESUR, TALMAI AND BY AITOFEL, IN ADDITION TO HIS MOTHER, MAACA.

     • ABSALON LET DARKNESS, ENVY, GREED AND HATE TAKE OVER HIS HEART JUST LIKE LUCIFER.

     • DESPITE BEING DAVID'S SON, HE DIDN'T HAVE A HEART AFTER GOD LIKE DAVID!

     • WHILE DAVID WAS HUMBLE, ABSALON BECAME PROUD, ARROGANT, PRECIOUS.

HOW SAD FOR DAVI TO CONTEMPLATE IN HIS SON THE OPPOSITE OF HIS CHARACTER,

     • DAVI HAD FAULT IN THIS FOR HIS CHOICES, FOR HIS DECISIONS!

     • DAVI REPENT ABOUT ABSALON NO!

     • HOW SAD FOR DAVI AND FOR EACH ONE OF US WHO HAS A CHILD IN SATAN'S HAND!

      

     • IT'S NOT TOO LATE YET. TALK ABOUT JESUS! DEMONSTRATE JESUS TO YOUR CHILDREN, SPOUSES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

I ASK GOD THAT WE DO NOT GO THROUGH THE SADNESS DAVI WENT THROUGH, HAVING HIS SON DEAD AND LOST ETERNALLY IN THE DARKNESS!

PLANT GOOD THINGS TODAY, TO GATHER TOMORROW THE FRUITS YOU PLANTED!

TODAY THE ETERNAL FATHER WANTS TO MOLD YOU ACCORDING TO HIS CHARACTER!

     • DON'T DO LIKE ABSALON! DON'T WANT TO USURSE THE PLACE THAT THE CREATOR HAS IN YOUR LIFE!

     • BE A SON AND NOT A TRAITOR!

Personal, individual Salvation, only in life, is a decision of each human being to receive, in the heart, and start to obey and follow the Lord Jesus as the only and sufficient Savior and Lord.

Salvation is not hereditary, it is not because the parents are Christians that the child, being born into a Christian family, automatically becomes a believer.

Salvation, I repeat previous articles, by the grace of God, through personal faith in the Lord Jesus has to be taken, accepted individually, by each and every person when he/she receives (m) the Lord Jesus in the heart:

"[The Lord Jesus] came to his own, and his own did not receive him. But to all who received him, he gave power to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name; which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1.11-13).

The emphasis I gave to the term "being made children of God" makes it clear in the understanding of each one of us that if "we are made", in that act, it is because previously we were not children, but creatures of God.

It is at this moment of "being born again", being born into the family of God, that personal, individual conversion takes place, of one's own free will, the decision to obey, to follow the teachings of the Lord Jesus, who gave his life for all and each one who receives it (m), spontaneously; conviction that the Word of God gives us when it teaches: "and having been perfected, [the Lord Jesus] became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him" (Hebrews 5.9).

Thus, we Christian parents and grandparents must do our part in directing children to accept salvation by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus, teaching them, as a priority, the Word of God that determines us:

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not deviate from it" (Proverbs 22.6).

Suffering from being a Christian

I Peter 4.12-19

12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fire that arises among you to test you, as if something strange were happening. 13 But as you share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that when his glory is revealed, you may also rejoice with great joy. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, rests on you. 15 If any of you suffers, let him not be like a murderer, thief, criminal, or someone who meddles in someone else's business. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God through that name. 17For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the wicked and the sinner?” 19 Therefore, those who suffer according to God's will should entrust their lives to their faithful Creator and do good.

UNDERSTANDING THE TEXT

V.12 Have you ever felt that “something strange is happening”? Heavy? Out of common? Oppression, ordeal on every side? So, I have to tell you, not everything is “flowers”. We have in our heart the certainty that God loves us, but Christ said: "In this world you will have afflictions; however, be of good cheer! I have overcome the world" John 16.33. Jesus didn't say it would be easy, but that He won and would be with us to encourage us.

V. 13 The true Christian has to be different. Has he noticed yet? While many of those who are going through an ordeal complain, look for culprits, despair, what should a Christian do? “Rejoice as you share in the sufferings of Christ.”

V.14 If, because we decided to be true Christians, people insult us, we should be happy because the Holy Spirit will be with us. What a consolation!

V.15-16 We should not suffer for doing something wrong, but for the love of Christ. Let's not be ashamed of it! May this difficulty not make us want to go back.

V.17-18 Will the time of judgment come, and even for true Christians it will not be easy, imagine for those who don't even care about Christ?

V.19 Precisely because of the judgment, if we suffer because God wants it, let's trust Him. The Bible speaks in Romans 12.1 that God's will is always "good, perfect and pleasant". Let us rest in God and do good.

PAUSE TO MEDITATE

There will be a day when everyone will stand before God, are you ready?

 Acts 17 - NLT New Translation in Today's Language

1 Paul and Silas passed through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia and arrived in Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue.

2 As was his custom, Paul went there and on the next three Sabbaths he spoke about the Holy Scriptures with the people who were there in the synagogue.

3 Paul explained and proved to them that the Messiah needed to suffer and that, after dying, he had to rise again. He said: —This Jesus that I am announcing to you is the Messiah.

4 Paul and Silas managed to convince some of those people, who joined them. A large number of non-Jewish converts to Judaism and many high society ladies also joined the group.

5 But the Jews were jealous. They went to get some bad men from the street rascals and formed a band of rioters. These made a lot of confusion in the city and attacked Jason's house, looking for Paul and Silas in order to lead them out among the people.

6 But when they didn't find them, they took Jason and some other brothers by force to the presence of the city authorities, shouting: - Those men have caused disorder everywhere! Now they've come to our city,

7 and Jason hosted them in his house. They are disobeying the laws of the Roman Emperor, saying that there is another king, named Jesus.

8 Both the crowd and the officials became agitated when they heard these words.

9 And the authorities released Jason and the others, after they had paid the required amount for it.

10 As soon as it was evening, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to the city of Berea. When they got there, they went to the synagogue.

11 The people there were better educated than those in Thessalonica and listened to the message with great interest. Every day they studied the Holy Scriptures to find out if what Paul said was really true.

12 So many Jews in that city believed, and also non-Jews, both women of high society and also many men.

13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica heard that Paul had preached the word of God also in Berea, they went there and began to stir up and stir up the people against them.

14 So the brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast; but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.

15 The brothers who were protecting Paul took him to the city of Athens. Then they returned to Berea, carrying an errand from Paul; he asked Silas and Timothy to meet him in Athens as soon as possible.

16 While waiting for Silas and Timothy in Athens, Paul was disgusted to see the city so full of idols.

17 He went to the synagogue and there he spoke with the Jews and non-Jewish converts to Judaism. And every day, in the public square, he spoke to the people who were there.

18 Some Epicurean teachers and some Stoics argued with him and asked: - What is this ignorant man trying to say? Others commented: —He seems to be talking about foreign gods. They said that because Paul was announcing Jesus and the resurrection.

19 So they took him to a town council meeting and said, "We would like to know what new teaching you are bringing to us."

20 For you say some things that seem strange to us, and we would like to know what they mean.

21 It's just that all the residents of Athens and the foreigners who lived there liked to spend time telling and listening to the latest news.

22 Then Paul stood before them in the town council meeting and said, “Athenians! I see that in all things you are very religious.

23 Indeed, as I was walking through the city and looking at the places where you worship your gods, I found an altar on which it is written: “TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.” For this God that you worship without knowing is precisely the one I am announcing to you.

24 - God, who made the world and everything in it, is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human beings.

25 Nor does he need anyone to do anything for him, since he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.

26 From one man he created all human races to live on earth. Before creating the peoples, God marked out for them where they would live and how long they would stay there.

27 He did this so that everyone could look for him and maybe find him, although he is not far from each one of us.

28 Because, as someone has said, “In him we live and move and have our being. ” And some of your poets said: “We are also his children. ”

29 And since we are his children, we must not think that God is like an idol of gold, silver, or stone, made by the art and skill of people.

30 In the past God overlooked this ignorance. But now he commands all people everywhere to repent of their sins.

31 For he has set the day when he will judge the world in righteousness by a man he has chosen. And he gave proof of this to everyone when he resurrected this man.

32 When they heard Paul speak about the resurrection, some mocked him, but others said, “We want to hear you talk about this another time.

33 So Paul went away from there.

34 But some people believed and joined him. Among these were Dionísio, who was a member of the City Council, a woman named Dâmaris and other people.

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and he who loves her will eat her fruit.”

“The tongue is also a fire; yea, the tongue, which world of iniquity, placed among our members, defiles the whole body, and inflames the course of nature, being in its turn inflamed by hell.” but the tongue, no man can tame it.

It is an unstoppable evil; it is full of deadly venom.

PHRASE IN THE PICTURE: PORNOGRAPHY ATTRACTS DEMONS! IT'S A DOOR OF DESTRUCTION!

Free yourself from this curse. 🙌 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pornography attracts demons.

You may think it's something harmless, that no one knows, you try to hide it from your wife, your parents and friend, but the spirit world sees you continuously.

There are evil spirits that feed on the acts of pornography addicts, the spiritual world is more real than the physical world.

It's a dirty industry that encourages sex without consent, incestuous and depraved relationships, there's nothing love there it's all rehearsed, all premeditated to persuade you, billions are raised in exchange for it your heart becomes a cult of demon worship of the sexual perversion.

Our body is a kind of altar, whether of God or demons. Don't let your eyes be an altar of sexual idolatry, decide today to repent! Marriages are destroyed by this evil, if you are going through this, make the decision to fight, it does not mean that you will never have a relapse, but if you persevere, you will win.

 

The Christian and Depression

Elias asked for death when he fled from humanity and just wanted to sleep and forget about reality. Paulo spent a week without appetite or spirit after being confronted with the very hard truth that the purpose of his life until that moment had been in vain. Peter wept bitterly and in heart-rending depression after locking eyes with Jesus after the rooster crowed. Joseph of Egypt certainly wasn't releasing fireworks in slavery or prison. Ana was so sad and depressed that she was crying uncontrollably, to the point that Eli mistook her for a drunk. Mary and Martha were so depressed over their brother's death and the Lord's absence that their emotional state moved Jesus and brought him to tears of compassion. Needless to say, the soul of the upright, God-fearing, evil-shunning man Job was brought down to the brink. David, then, goes without saying, just read Psalm 51 to see how the man after God's heart entered a spiral of depression after the crisis of his sin and the death of his son - in fact, the psalms contain dozens of songs written in depressive agony. In summary, the Bible shows us many men and women of sincere devotion to God who lived through periods of crushing depression without this disqualifying them in the eyes of the Lord or making them “defeated” or failures”.

So have great men of God throughout Church history. Charles Spurgeon lived for decades in a deep depression due to his and his wife's health. Augustine speaks clearly about his depressions and existential crises in “Confessions”. João da Cruz even writes about the terrible state of mind he called “the dark night of the soul”. David Brainerd's story of a very painful life is an inspiration to all of us even today. What then of John Bunyan in his prison years? Martin Luther in his voluntary exile to flee the papist fury produced magnificent writings, including the translation of the Bible into the vernacular. William Cowper, the depressed suffering Christian poet, what an example! All giants of faith, who lived through huge waves of depression. And… “simply depression cannot exist in a heart filled with the Holy Spirit”? Sorry, but this is simply not true.

Biblically, depression is a school of God. No, my brother, my sister, you are not a loser without faith because the circumstances of life have brought you to this point. Never let them deceive you with this thought coming from Prosperity Theology and Positive Confession. Good men and women of God get depressed, and in the midst of that process, God works deep within their souls and emotions. Being depressed is no reason to consider yourself less spiritual, as if the Christian had to live happily ever after, smiling all the time. This is an unbiblical concept born of an apocryphal theology. Depressing yourself simply shows that you are human and dependent on God's grace. If you are depressed and without strength, know that it is not because “depression cannot exist in a heart full of the Holy Spirit”, but because you are in the school of God and in the depths of your depression the Lord is teaching you very important lessons. All clay to be remodeled needs to be kneaded by the potter.

Nowadays it is common to see "prophets" in some churches wanting to do "signs and miracles" at all costs because, for many, these "signs" prove that they are true "prophets".

But... is that what the Bible teaches us? Are miracles the ultimate proof that someone has a God-approved ministry?

It is true that many prophets of God have had their ministries accompanied by miracles. This is undeniable!! Elisha and Elijah, Moses, Isaiah and even Christ and the Apostles did wonders.

But was it the miracles that proved they were men and women of God?

According to the Bible, no!

To demonstrate this we have in Scripture a man who was so important that Christ himself called him "the greatest prophet who ever lived": It was John the Baptist! "And I say unto you, that among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist;" Luke 7:28, Jesus said.

So we know that John the Baptist was the greatest prophet that ever walked the earth, correct? But of John the Baptist the Bible also says: "John did no sign indeed, but everything John said about him [Jesus] was true." John 10:41

John was the greatest prophet that ever lived, that's a fact; but John the Baptist didn't do any miracles, that's also a fact!! How can this be? Simple: the greatest mark of a prophet is not signs and wonders, but faithfulness with the Word of God! If the prophet (or prophetess) is faithful to the Scripture and what It teaches about the Gospel - if its teachings about Christ are true, then we know that he is a prophet of God!

So stay tuned: It doesn't matter how many ′′ miracles ′′ someone can do, even if it's a thousand a day! However, if the prophet does not correspond with the Word of God, do not listen to him, close your ears, run away!!! For it does not come from God!!

Remember that supposed "miracles" the devil can also do, to deceive many. "For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect." Matthew 24:24

Don't focus on "signs" and "miracles". Stick with what is written!

PHRASE FROM THE IMAGE: IF YOUR PRETENDENT DOESN'T HAVE CHRIST, YOU DON'T NEED TO PRAY TO KNOW IF IT'S GOD'S WILL OR NOT!

And it's not.

🫵🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

QUESTION: Can a servant of God marry an ungodly man?

What does the Bible tell us about this?

ANSWER: Imagine that you, a servant of God, marry an ungodly man. You will want to teach your child to keep God's commandments, he will say he doesn't have to obey. You will want to teach your child to be faithful to God, to abhor carnality, to abhor worldliness, as the Bible teaches, but your husband will say that it is nonsense, that there is no need. You will want to teach your child to stay away from pagan parties (worldly concerts, carnival, discotheques, nightclubs, raves, funk dances, etc.), bad company, addictions (drug addiction, cigarette addiction, drink addiction), music mundane/profane, immoral conversations, your husband will say it's okay, that it has nothing to do with it. Because of this GOD #PROHIB mixed marriage between people. You need to choose a spouse who is on the Path of Jesus, obeying God's commandments as He taught us.. otherwise it will be impossible to relate, it will be an unequal yoke and will bring serious problems to the couple.

This is why servants of God MUST NOT marry people of the world, so as not to go through frustrating situations later, remember well when Samson spoke to his parents that he would go in search of a wife for him, his parents said if by chance there was no there among them a good woman for him, but no, he preferred a woman of the world which led Samson to trust himself and not God and that cost him his life and salvation.

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers; because, what society has justice with injustice? And what fellowship has light with darkness? And what agreement is there between the Messiah and Satan? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement does the Sanctuary of God have with idols? For ye are the Sanctuary of the Living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God and they will be my people. Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord; And touch nothing unclean, And I will receive you; And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2nd Corinthians 6:14-18

Note: Unequal yoke is not just the union of a Christian and an impious. Unequal yoke is for you to also join a person who #claims to be a Christian but lives in the flesh or has no principles of the Word. You are unequally yoked in the same way. Walk with someone after the model of Christ.

 

 

PHRASE OF THE IMAGE: AND IT WAS DRINKING SOCIALLY, THAT I ENDED UP IN THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL OF ALCOHOLISM

One of Satan's most efficient lies, to imprison the unsuspecting in the addiction of alcohol, is the phrase: "I drink socially", and that is how many lost their jobs, their families, their human dignity and, in the end, their lives, however, Christ wants to give you back the dignity that alcohol stole from you, seek Him in prayer, fasting and biblical reading. 🫵🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

′′ Do not get drunk, for drink will lead you to #disgrace; but be filled with the Spirit of God.” Ephesians 5:18

 

THE TWO WAYS.

One of the worst sentences that God passes on the wicked is to let him live his life quietly, without too many difficulties, apart from any corrections and fulfilling all his earthly dreams. This is proof that God abandoned him to his own desires (Rom 1:21-31).

On the other hand, those who were called by the irresistible grace of the cross will experience trials, punishments and difficulties, after all, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted (2 Tim. 3:12); those who serve him will be afflicted (John 16:33); but all this is so that our character may be molded to the character of Christ, becoming more and more like Him.

Therefore, if you are a redeemed believer and are undergoing a trial, delight in the Lord's chastening, for whom he loves he disciplines. However, if you are a wicked and live quietly, enjoying the pleasures of this short life, worry.

“Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. How narrow is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life! .", Mt 7:13,14.

PHRASE IN THE PICTURE: 

REMEMBER THE WOMAN OF LÓ...

DO NOT LOOK BACK

LET US RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE CAREER THAT IS PLACED OUT FOR US, LOOKING FIRMLY TO THE AUTHOR AND CONSUMER OF FAITH, HEBREWS 12:1-2

MORNING DEVOTIONAL - REMEMBER THE WOMAN OF LOT (Lc17.32)

Jesus was talking to the Pharisees about salvation and reminds them to remember Lot's wife. Reminding everyone that Lot's wife was walking to be saved and in a few meters she would be away from the great destruction, but even though she was on the path of salvation, she ended up losing her great opportunity, looking back and turning into a pillar of salt.

We are besieged to look back:

How many who are on the path of salvation, and at the same time are looking back (to the world and sin) Heb.12.1-2: “... let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking firmly to the author and finisher of faith, Jesus.”

Many are basing themselves that once saved always saved.

They forget that the wages of sin is death and eternal death. Jesus was talking to the Pharisees about the Kingdom of God, which would not be visible, but would be within each person (v. 20,21). If that were the case, Jesus wouldn't have wasted time talking about vigilance, because many, close to receiving the blessing, allow it to escape. To err is human, but Lot's wife erred when she could not err: and this has happened to many who walk in the way of the Lord and are not watchful. Beware that this could happen to you at the coming of our Lord Jesus.

She turned into a pillar of salt:

Lot's wife suffered a tragic consequence for clinging to what she had left behind. Statue is something that exists but has no life, it has completely left God's eternal purpose. Jesus said that we have to leave our father, mother and brothers and then pick up our cross, and the cross is the beginning of our Christian walk

.

Conclusion: Jesus as the supreme shepherd always wants to show us the right direction. For this reason, he gave us a warning to always be on the lookout – Remember Lot's wife. He is the way, but, do not go in the middle of this path to look back, because you could lose everything that has been conquered until today: John 14,6 Jesus said :"I am the Way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father if it is not for me."

(Orlando C. dos Santos)

PRAYER:

Father, we pray in the name of Jesus and ask that the Lord firm our steps in Your Holy path, because we want to walk along it always, do not let us look back, because we know that only the Lord Jesus is the path that leads us to Your Holy Presence. Amen.

Have an excellent day

Messages That Build Christians Awake - Evangelism

 

THE CHILDREN OF ANGELS?

The Nephilim are beings mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the Old Testament, in the Book of Genesis. According to the biblical account, the Nephilim were a race of giants that existed on Earth before the Flood.

According to the biblical account in Genesis 6:1-4, the Nephilim were children resulting from the union between the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men". The interpretation of these terms has been the subject of debate and several theories have been proposed to explain who these "sons of God" were. We can understand that they were fallen angels or supernatural beings, while other theories argue that they were simply godly human beings.

The Nephilim are recognized as "heroes" or "men of renown", known for their strength and impressive physical stature. They were considered a kind of elite or leaders in society at the time. Mention of the Nephilim is brief in the Bible, and there aren't many additional details about them other than the fact that they existed before the Flood.

It is important to emphasize that references to the Nephilim are found in the Bible and in some Jewish works, such as the book of Enoch and in the Talmud itself. Therefore, its exact nature and identity remains a subject of theological interpretation and speculation.

“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father loved me, I also loved you; abide in my love.” John 15:7.

Those who live together live in sin, of fornication and until they are bound here by the law of men, they will not be bound in heaven, so that whatever you ask in the name of Jesus Christ, He will do it. 🫵🙏🔥🔥🔥

“However, if you cannot control yourself, let them marry. Because it's better to get married than to live burning with passion.” 1st Corinthians 7:9

I AM LIVING IN FORNICATION WHAT DO I DO?

If you are living in fornication, ask God for forgiveness and stop fornicating. God forgives everyone who repents (Acts of the Apostles 3:19, Proverbs 28:13). Fornication, or sexual immorality, is any kind of sexual relationship outside of marriage. Repentance is recognizing sin and deciding to change your life.

If you want to get right with God, but you are living in fornication, you have two options:

Separate...stop having sex. You should separate if you don't intend to spend the rest of your life with your partner or if you are in adultery (when one of you is married).

If you get married... if the couple has a commitment, they must make it official, so that everyone can recognize it. Marriage is important; living together is not the same as marriage.

GOD FORGIVES FORNICATION...

When you repent, God blots out sin (Romans 4:7-8). You don't need to feel guilt anymore but you shouldn't keep sinning. That would be mocking Jesus' sacrifice.

MY PARTNER DOESN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED, WHAT DO I DO?

If you are in a committed relationship but your partner doesn't want to get married, don't despair! This situation is difficult but God will help you. God knows your heart and knows you want to do the right thing (Psalm 51:17). That's the most important.

Talk to your partner about it. Find out your reasons for not wanting to get married. Explain that marriage is very important to you and that you want everyone to recognize your commitment. A wedding doesn't have to be a big, expensive party. It can be a simple but beautiful ceremony.

Pray to God. He will give you wisdom to settle the matter (James 1:5). Pray for your partner, that he too understands the importance of marriage and wants to do God's will. Trust in God, He loves you and will not abandon you.

John 14:1-31

1 Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I will prepare a place for you.

3 And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also.

4 Even you know where I am going, and you know the way.

5 Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; and how can we know the way?

👉 6 Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.

7 If you had known me, you would also have known my Father; and from now on you know him and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you so long a time, and yet you have not known me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Show us the Father?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who is in me does the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; believe me, at least, because of the same works.

12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he will also do, and greater works than these will he do, because I go to my Father.

13 And whatever you ask in my name I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

👉15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;

17 The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, because he dwells with you, and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come back to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me; because I live, and you will live.

20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

21 He who has my commandments and keeps them is he who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.

22 Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, whence is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?

👉 23 Jesus answered, and said to him, If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make an address in him.

24 He who does not love me does not keep my words; Now the word which you heard is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

25 This I have told you while I was with you.

26 But that Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I have told you.

👉27 I leave you peace, my peace I give you; I do not give it to you as the world gives it. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid.

28 You heard that I said to you, I go away and come to you. If you loved me, you would surely rejoice because I said: I go to the Father; because my Father is greater than I.

29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

30 I will no longer speak much with you, because the prince of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me;

31 But it is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Get up, let's get out of here.

 A reminder: The sin of Judas Iscariot was not just betraying Jesus. He began by stealing from the offering bag. One sin calls another... So it can happen to us! When we give in to a sin, we open doors to practice others equally worse...

On the occasion that Mary of Bethany poured the ointment at Jesus' feet, Iscariot said:

John 12

4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, who was to betray him, said:

5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?

6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had a purse, and took what was thrown into it.

7 Jesus therefore said, Let her alone; for the day of my burial he kept this;

8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.

John 10:1-42

1 Truly, truly, I say to you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

2 But he who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out.

4 And when he brings out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

5 But they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.

6 Jesus told them this parable; but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7 Jesus therefore said to them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.

9 I am the door; if anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy; I came that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 But the hired hand, and he who is not a shepherd, whose sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the sheep.

13 Now the hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and has not cared for the sheep.

14 I am the good Shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knows me, so I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I also need to add these, and they will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life to take it up again.

18 No one takes it from me, but I give it from myself; I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it back. This command I received from my Father.

19 So there was division again among the Jews because of these words.

20 And many of them said, He has a devil, and is out of his mind; why do you hear it?

21 Others said, These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

22 And in Jerusalem was the feast of dedication, and it was winter.

23 And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

24 Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long will you keep our soul in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so openly.

25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye believe not. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify of me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep, as I told you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;

28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and the Father are one.

31 Then the Jews again picked up stones to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?

33 The Jews answered, saying to him, We did not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy; because, being a man, you make yourself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 For if the law called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken,

36 “Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, you say, Do you blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.

38 But if I do them, and you do not believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.

39 So they sought to take him again, but he escaped out of their hands,

40 And he withdrew again beyond Jordan to the place where John had first baptized; and there he stayed.

41 And many came to him, and said, Indeed, John did no sign, but all that John said of him was true.

42 And many there believed in him.

ROMANS 1:17 THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH!

He who is justified by faith in Jesus Christ lives by that same faith. She is the engine that drives him to live. Sometimes we get discouraged when we look at the things around us that weaken our faith.

No one is exempt from experiencing

hard times in life, but faith in the Lord makes us carry on. It works on our behalf to the point of developing our character and outlook on life.

Even with difficult situations in life, the challenge is to remain trusting in the Lord and that our faith is proof of a true relationship with the true God.

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness which from first to last is by faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

Romans 1:17

It is evident that before God no one is justified by the Law, for "the just shall live by faith."

Galatians 3:11

but my fair

will live by faith.

And if you go back

I will not be pleased with him."

Hebrews 10:38

"Write: The wicked is puffed up;

his desires are not good;

but the righteous shall live

for your faithfulness.

Habakkuk 2:4

Because we live by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

The Law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "whoever does these things will live by them."

Galatians 3:12

I have been crucified with Christ. Thus, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

Now faith is the certainty of what we hope for and the proof of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

What is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.

1 John 5:4

"Go," said Jesus, "his faith has healed him." Immediately he regained his sight and followed Jesus along the way.

Mark 10:52
