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
