YOU WERE CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD!!!

THE BIBLE AND THE USE OF TATTOOS - We can see in the Word of God at least two objective texts that deal with this matter (there are other verses that can be well analyzed): “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27).

Here we see that the human being, the crown of God's creation, was made “in the image and likeness of the Creator”. This indicates that he does not need “adornments” in his body, as he has already been made similar to the most perfect and beautiful Being in the Universe. Making some kind of mark that changes this image and that brings “pain” in what is considered the “sanctuary of the Holy Spirit” (“the body” – see 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19-20) is to demonstrate a certain dissatisfaction with the image of God, disrespecting Him. The desire to tattoo your body may be an indication that your self-esteem needs to be better worked on.

See another verse below: “You shall not harm your flesh for the dead; neither shall you make any mark upon yourselves. I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:28).

The Seventh-day Adventist Biblical Commentary, in vol. 1: “It probably refers to tattoos (this is how the Jerusalem Bible version translates it – BJ), a custom that in itself is not immoral, but certainly unworthy of the people of God, as it tends to damage the image of the Creator”.

The translation in the “New International Version” supports the opinion of the aforementioned commentary: “Do not make cuts on your body for the dead, nor tattoos on yourself. I am the Lord.”

In the same way as the apostle Paul, the only marks that we should have in ourselves should be those in favor of Christ: “Furthermore, let no one bother me; because I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.” (Galatians 6:17).

If you have one (or more) tattoos, don't worry: Jesus erases your past. When you demonstrate repentance (Acts 3:19) and acceptance of the teachings of the Bible (Revelation 1:3), God forgives you (Psalm 32:5) and considers you as if you had never had a tattoo! (1 John 1:9). God's forgiveness is wonderful and He makes all the resources available to improve your self-esteem (Philippians 2:13) so that you can feel good (and happy) without “pains” on your body.

And, don't forget: you are the most beautiful drawing God has ever made! (Photo: Disclosure).

 

YOUR GOD, WHERE IS HE?

Many people put us up against the wall and confront us, asking, "Aren't you a believer? Why are you sick? Why are you unemployed? Why are you going through setbacks in life? Why are you having problems in your family? Where is your God?". These people forget that God never promised us the absence of struggle, but victory in the midst of struggles. He never promised us absence of affliction, but companionship in the midst of the valley. He never promised us an easy walk, but a safe arrival. He never promised us the absence of a cross, but the guarantee of the crown!

UFO DECEPTION

But you, Daniel, close the words and seal the book until the end of time; many will run from one place to another, and science/technology will multiply.

DANIEL 12.4

📜

"Just to remember that these sheep are from the 200 angels who fell here together with their leader samyaza and the rest who were with them, as it says in the apocryphal book of Enoch, where these angels taught humans all iron/technology material, and The Bible is also very in-depth on this subject that few people understand."

FURTHERMORE, Azaziel taught men to make swords, knives, shields, armor (or breastplates), the making of mirrors and the manufacture of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paintings, the beautification of the eyebrows, the use of every selected kind of valuable stones, and all sorts of dyes, so that the world could be changed. Enoch 8

📜

The name of the third is Gadreel: he has uncovered every stroke of death to the children of men. He seduced Eve and revealed to the children of men the instruments of death, the coat of mail, the shield, and the sword for slaughter; every instrument of death to the children of men. These things came from his hands to those who dwell on the earth from that period forever. Enoch 69;6,8

📜

AFTER this judgment they will be haunted and angry as they will be displayed to the inhabitants of the land. Enoch 69.1

📜

"Evil spirits shall they be upon the earth, and they shall be called spirits of wickedness." Enoch 15.14

📜

They will cause lamentation. No food will they eat; and they will be thirsty; they will hide themselves and not rise up against the children of men, and against women; for they will come during the days of slaughter and destruction. Enoch 15.10

The Secret of the Visible Rapture

Greeting: Grace and peace to all beloved brothers. Shalom 🙏

My beloved, see the secret of God announced to his prophets

1- The voice of the seventh angel (Michael) and the last trumpet

2- The rapture and resurrection of the saved

Revelation 10:7

⁷ But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he blows his trumpet, the secret of God will be fulfilled, as he announced to the prophets, his servants.

Prophet Daniel

¹ And at that time Michael, the great prince, who stands up for the children of your people, will arise, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation until that time; but at that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.

² And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and others to shame and everlasting contempt.

Daniel 12:1,2

Apostle Paul

For the Lord himself, with his word of command, with the voice of the archangel heard, and the trumpet of God sounded, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first; Then we, the living, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we will be with the Lord forever. So comfort one another with these words.

1Thessalonians 4:16-18

CAREFUL! SATAN DECEIVES BY DISTORTING THE WORD OF GOD IN THE PULBITIES OF PROSTITUTE CHURCHES!

 

THE DEVIL ALSO PROCLAMS HIS MESSAGE!

Before beginning his earthly journey, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert, where Satan tempted him. In the dialogue, the ancient serpent did not hesitate to use the Scriptures to challenge Jesus' mission.

"If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you; in their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone'" (Matthew 4:6).

Unlike the cliché, Satan does not escape the Bible. He manipulates her because he knows her deeply. For him, quoting "it is written" is easy, but his true gift is to distort, twist and corrupt the sacred meaning, as he did with Jesus: "For it is written: [...]".

The Devil attacks the church in two ways. First, with external persecution through government decrees and religious intolerance. Second, he climbs into pulpits, spreading heresies that weaken the spirituality of the faithful. Against this, Paul called Timothy to fight as a soldier of Christ.

"Preach the word, urge, whether it is opportune or not, correct, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For there will be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine; on the contrary, they will surround themselves with teachers according to their own covetousness, as if they have itching ears; and they will refuse to listen to the truth, giving themselves over to fables" (2 Timothy 4:3).

Today, many see good preaching as one that moves people. This leads to following empty doctrines and listening to the Devil. It's no surprise that crowds follow the piper, drawn by a catchy "melody."

The Bereans tested Paul's teaching from the Scriptures (Acts 17:11), being considered "noble." Christ did the same with Satan.

Jesus replied, "It is also written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test'" (Matthew 4:7).

Heresies are dangerous; without rejection, they hurt the church. Jesus teaches how to combat them with knowledge of the Scriptures. But, without study, one falls into lies, as the Devil proclaims!

WE ARE LIVING IN THIS TIME!!!

 

GOD’S GRACE IS ENOUGH FOR SAD DAYS OF TRIAL…

Trial is the time when our faith is tested. In difficult times we can abandon Jesus or continue believing in him. The ordeal shows whether our love for Jesus is true or just a selfish and self-serving attitude.

No one likes to go through trials, but these moments help to mature and strengthen faith. Anyone who has overcome a trial finds more strength in Jesus. Suffering does not last forever and one day we will receive the reward for enduring the ordeal.

Happy is the man who perseveres under trial, because after being approved he will receive the crown of life, which God promised to those who love him.

James 1:12

My brothers, consider it a source of great joy when you face various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And perseverance must have complete action, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4

The Lord tests the righteous,

but the wicked and the one who loves unrighteousness,

  his soul hates it. Psalms 11:5

The crucible is for silver

and the furnace is for gold,

but the Lord tests the heart.

Proverbs 17:3

For you, O God, have put us to the test

and you refined us like silver. You made us fall into a trap

and upon our backs you laid burdens. You let the enemies ride

over our heads;

We passed through fire and water,

but to a place of plenty you brought us.

Psalms 66:10-12

In this you rejoice, even though now, for a little while, you must be grieved by every kind of trial. This happens so that it is proven that the faith you have, much more valuable than gold that perishes, even if refined by fire, is genuine and will result in praise, glory and honor, when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:6-7

"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert during these forty years to humble you and put you to the test, to know their intentions, whether they would obey their commandments or not.

Deuteronomy 8:2

Beloved ones, do not be surprised at the fire that arises among you to test you, as if something strange is happening. But rejoice as you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice with great joy. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, rests on you. 1 Peter 4:12-14

I served the Lord with all humility and with tears, being severely tried by the conspiracies of the Jews. Acts of the Apostles 20:19

Those who fell on the stones are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but give up at the time of trial. Luke 8:13

So, as the Holy Spirit says:

"Today, if you listen

your voice, do not harden your heart,

as in rebellion,

during the time of trial in the desert, where their ancestors

tried me,

putting me to the test,

despite, for forty years,

have seen what I did. Hebrews 3:7-9
