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

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.
