BEWARE OF THE PROPHETS, VISIONS AND REVELATIONS... THERE IS JUDGMENT!

 





There are many people who claim to be Christians opening their mouths and saying what God has not told them to say, be very careful, you can pray, fast and live doing the work every day, but if you live lying or omitting, you are walking towards his own condemnation.

“Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices #lies.” Revelation 22:15





Greed is a very present theme in the Bible, it is a serious sin that must be out of the Christian life. The love of money is a clear sign of greed, but so can the desire for power and greatness.

There is a difference between greed and ambition. The Bible allows you to seek to improve, as long as it is with good intentions, without letting it dominate your heart.

The role of women in marriage

The woman is of great importance to the Christian home. With her is the responsibility of helping her husband and building her house according to God's will. Her role is much bigger and more significant than the woman herself thinks.

Paul compares the woman with the church (Eph 5:22,23), just as the church obeys her husband who is Christ, the woman has the same role in her home, in relation to her husband. A woman's submission is not in the dispute of who is stronger or more intelligent, but in the awareness of knowing what her duty is as a woman. And that her husband is a representative of Christ in his home. After all, we should be obedient to God because we love Him and not because we are afraid of Him.

The world distorts biblical words to diminish the importance of women, leading them to believe that they are inferior to men and therefore must prove their validity and competence, when in fact, Christ loved her so much that he gave his life for her and still does not. meaning of sex, treating both with the same significance and decency.

The Bible emphasizes the respect a woman should have for her husband, because a woman's respect is all a man wants. In fact, everything a Christian man does is to please God and have his wife's respect (Eph. 5:33).

Knowing this, the Christian woman's role in marriage is to take care of her home, respect her husband, be a friendly shoulder in times of distress, be the desired counselor when there are uncertainties of thoughts, be the wise woman when discernment is lacking and the firm structure on which your spouse and children can lean.

Woman, being submissive is being smart and not weak. To be submissive is to respect the limits established by God for your own good. Being submissive is not accepting abuse, but recognizing your value before the Creator!

FORGIVE TO BE FORGIVEN!





Forgiveness is one of the most liberating things anyone can do. Unforgiveness is like a stone tied to someone's leg, which drags them to the bottom of the sea.

If God has forgiven our sins and if we want to be like God, what reasons can we have for not forgiving someone?

If we forgive, we receive forgiveness; this is a truth that should motivate us. If we really understand what Jesus did on the cross, forgiveness must flow from our hearts.


You are kind and forgiving, Lord,

rich in grace

to all who call on you.

Psalm 86:5


Then Peter approached Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I say to you, Not up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

Matthew 18:21-22


And when you are praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your heavenly Father may also forgive his sins. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins."

Mark 11:25-26


Be careful.

"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times a day, and comes back to you seven times and says, 'I am sorry,' forgive him."

Luke 17:3-4


Bear with one another and forgive whatever grievances you have against each other. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Colossians 3:13


If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9


For if you forgive one another's trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive one another, your heavenly Father will not forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:14-15


Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32


If one of you has caused grief, he has not only caused it to me, but also, in part, so that I may not be too severe with all of you. The punishment that was imposed by the majority is sufficient. Now, on the contrary, you must forgive him and console him, so that he is not dominated by excessive sadness. Therefore, I recommend that you reaffirm the love you have for him.

2 Corinthians 2:5-8


"Judge not and you will not be judged. Condemn not and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.

Luke 6:37


"It is I, myself, the one who erases

your transgressions, for my sake,

and that you don't remember anymore

of your sins.

Isaiah 43:25


In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of God's grace,

Ephesians 1:7


For he rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, namely, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:13-14


Let the wicked forsake his way;

and the evil man, his thoughts.

Let him turn to the Lord,

who will have mercy on him;

turn to our God,

for he willingly gives his pardon.

Isaiah 55:7

GOD DOES NOT APPROVE A SECOND MARRIAGE IF YOUR FIRST SPOUSE IS ALIVE!!!



Message for those who care what God thinks... You won't hear this in churches but that's what the Bible says:

If you were previously married and separated or divorced for any reason. Exception: in the case of prostitution (porneia) and now you are in a new relationship, know: God does not approve of your new relationship

God is not in it

It is not possible to be happy with the Boyfriend, nor with the girlfriend

Is the spouse alive? If so, you put yourself in adultery and whoever joins you also becomes an adulterer!

Adultery is a sin. Those who practice this act are opposing the will of God. Tampering means breaking the vow that is made during marriage, unfaithfulness.

Whoever commits adultery is disobeying a commandment of God. When two people unite in marriage, they do so not only before men, but before God.

But I say that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to become an adulteress, and whoever marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 5:32

He replied, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

Mark 10:11-12

Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony between Christ and Belial? What is common between the believer and the unbeliever?

2 Corinthians 6:14-15

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins that someone commits, outside the body he commits them; but whoever sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, who was given to you in marriage to be honored by all; the conjugal bed, kept pure; for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.

Hebrews 13:4

OFFICIALIZE YOUR UNION !!!

 





This message is not a judgment but an exhortation!!!
You who are a Christian and who live together or have a boyfriend?
Do you live a married life while being single?
Know that you are in sin
Change this situation to please God and not give the enemy loopholes!
Officialize before God and men your union. But, some say: It's just a paper! No !!! It's a commitment made!
Otherwise, it's easy to join, it's easy to separate!
Think about it! Besides, You are putting your spiritual life and your salvation at risk! Fix your way while there's still time!
Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony between Christ and Belial? What is common between the believer and the unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:14-15
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins that someone commits, outside the body he commits them; but whoever sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, given to you by God, and that you are not your own? You were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Don't be fooled: "Bad company corrupts good morals".
1 Corinthians 15:33
Houses and riches are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Proverbs 19:14
Marriage must be honored by all; the conjugal bed, kept pure; for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.
Hebrews 13:4
But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with desire.
1 Corinthians 7:9





Hypocrisy is pretense. God wants his followers to be honest and just, without hypocrisy. The hypocrite hides his faults to appear "very holy." This is wrong. We need to acknowledge our mistakes in order to receive forgiveness and mend our lives.

Hypocrisy is injustice. The hypocrite judges the mistakes of others but ignores his own. In so doing, the hypocrite judges and condemns himself! His own words pick him up.

Hypocrisy is also saying that you follow God but not obeying his commandments. We often say that we have surrendered everything to God when in fact there is still much that we have not submitted to him. But God always forgives those who repent of their hypocrisy.

how happy is that

to whom the Lord does not lay blame

and in whom there is no hypocrisy! While I kept my sins hidden,

my body was wasting away from so much moaning. For day and night

your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was running out

like in dry weather. So I acknowledged before you my sin

and I did not cover up my faults.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions,"

to the Lord,

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Psalms 32:2-5


Therefore, you who judge others are inexcusable; for you are condemning yourself in what you judge, since you who judge practice the same things.

Romans 2:1


Therefore, get rid of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and all kinds of backbiting.

1 Peter 2:1


“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs: beautiful on the outside, but inside you are full of bones and all kinds of filth. inside are full of hypocrisy and evil.

Matthew 23:27-28


In the meantime, when a crowd of thousands had gathered, to the point where they were trampling one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. nothing hidden that will not be discovered, or hidden that will not be known.

Luke 12:1-2


"Why do you notice the speck that is in your brother's eye and not notice the beam that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is a beam in yours? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Matthew 7:3-5


Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, "'This people honors me

with the lips,

but your heart is far from me. In vain they adore me;

your teachings

nothing but rules

taught by men'".

Matthew 15:7-9


If we claim to have fellowship with him but walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

1 John 1:6


They claim they know God, but by their actions they deny him; they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

Titus 1:16


If a brother or sister is in need of clothing and daily food and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and be fed," but you don't give them anything, what's the use of that? ?

James 2:15-16


Like a bad tooth or a dislocated foot

is confidence in the hypocrite

in time of difficulty.

Proverbs 25:19


"Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 7:15


Like a layer of nail polish

on an earthen vessel,

the friendly lips

can hide an evil heart. Who hates disguises his intentions

with the lips,

but in his heart he harbors falsehood. Though your talk is smooth,

don't believe him,

for their heart is full of evil. He can pretend and hide his hate,

but his wickedness will be exposed in public.

Proverbs 26:23-26


But Jesus, realizing their evil intention, asked: "Hypocrites! Why are you putting me to the test?

Matthew 22:18


Breed of vipers, how can you who are evil say good things? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

Matthew 12:34


The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. Such teachings come from hypocritical men and liars, whose consciences are seared

1 Timothy 4:1-2


"Therefore, when you give alms, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, in order to be honored by others. I assure you, they have already received their full reward. But when you give alms, that your left hand does not know what your right hand is doing, so that you may help in secret, and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:2-4


"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. They like to stand praying in the synagogues and on the street corners, in order to be seen by others. I assure you, they have already received their full reward. But when you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:5-6


"When you fast, do not look sad like the hypocrites, for they change the appearance of their faces so that others may see that they are fasting. I truly say that they have already received their full reward. When fasting, fix your hair and wash your face, so that it will not appear to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father who sees in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:16-18
