STOP FIGHTING AGAINST GOD AND LET HIM FIGHT FOR YOU!

 

Psalms 33:16-22

No king wins because he has a powerful army, nor do soldiers achieve victory because of their strength. It is not the war horses that win the battle; his great strength cannot save anyone. It is the LORD God who protects those who fear him, he who guards those who trust in his love. He saves them from death and in times of famine keeps them alive. We put our hope in God the LORD; he is our help and our shield. Our heart rejoices because of what the LORD has done; we trust him because he is holy. O LORD God, may your love accompany us, as we place our hope in you!

CAREFUL! NOT YOUR HEART! HE IS DECEPTIVE...

"Follow your heart" has broken more marriages, caused more addictions, mutilated more bodies, destroyed more souls, and ended more lives than Satan could ever imagine. It's one of the most effective slogans in hell.
“He who trusts in his own heart is foolish.” Proverbs 28:26
“For out of the hearts of men come evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, folly." Mark 7:20-22
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and perverse; who will know him?” Jeremiah 17:9
DO NOT follow your heart! He is flawed. Follow God's Commandments.
“Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105

 "Take care, lest you burden your hearts with debauchery, drunkenness, and the anxieties of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly. For it will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth. Always be alert and pray that may you escape all that is about to happen and stand before the Son of Man."

Luke 21:34-36

Psalms 55

22 Cast your cares on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to fall.

Every Christian will go through 3 phases one day:..............
One day he will pass through the DESERT............
place where everything is difficult,.......... anguish,
.........fear,
.......need something,
..........loneliness,
  .......expectations,
  ............frustrations,
............. unfulfilled dreams,
........... wanting to give up everything.
..............One day he will pass through the VALE.
..............The valley is a place of abandonment..................
Where people forget about you.................
In the valley you have no friends,
........... has no relatives,
  ..........there are no advisors.
...............In the valley you learn to be alone with God..................
There you pray,
........cry,
.......... moans,
.......... cry,
........... search,
..........passes through the strait of God.............
You learn to be obedient,
.............. You fight like Jacob fought with the angel until tomorrow dawned.
  ..............One day you will be on the MONTE.
  ..........In the mountain everything is beautiful and wonderful...........
  On Mount VC you can see where VC passed.
............ And then he glorifies his God for having supported you all those days ..............
On the mountain the view is different,
.......... wide,
........You look and say:
............ truly God was with me and did not forsake me.
...........Where are you now?
........... In the desert?
........in the valley?
  ...........Or on the hill?
  ............In any of these phases that you are going through, know that God is with you.............."
Peace be with you!😇🙌❤💎💙


 




Good morning!
Grace and peace!
"Endure suffering with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
No soldier gets involved in the business of civilian life, as he wants to please the one who enlisted him.
Similarly, no athlete is crowned winner if he does not compete according to the rules.
The hard-working farmer must be the first to share in the fruits of the harvest.
Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
(2 Timothy 2:3-7)
Paul writes his second letter to his young disciple Timothy and through 3 parables describes what is necessary to follow Christ:
1. Being a good soldier requires discipline: training and preparation for the art of war and wearing armor that helps you resist the enemy's harsh attacks (Ephesians 6:10-18); It requires service: being able to give one's life to defend a common cause, and it demands obedience: carrying out without hesitation the plan drawn up by one's commander. Finally, a good soldier does not lose focus on his mission (does not get involved in the business of life), but marches with enthusiasm and courage to victory.
2. Being an athlete: anyone who knows more than an athlete about perseverance and endurance, even in the most difficult part of the race and with tired muscles, would rather reach the finish line than succumb to the need for a temporary rest.
3. Being a farmer: a farmer loves the fruits of his work and therefore takes care of each of his crops with care and dedication, fertilizing them, keeping them hydrated and pruning them when necessary.
Likewise in the Christian life, our walk with Christ involves a lot of courage, perseverance, spiritual disciplines (prayer, reading the word, fasting) not only to maintain our personal relationship with God, but to maintain our relationship with others. Our ministry in which we serve God will depend on our spiritual strength and our determination to obey the word of God.
Let us pray:
Father of glory, help me to be a good soldier in your army, to remain firm and without wavering in the mission that You will teach me. I want to fight like an athlete in this race of life and like a good sower to see abundant fruit for the glory of his name. Amen.
God bless you in Jesus name.


 




THE COMING OF JESUS WILL BE GLORIOUS, AUDIBLE AND VISIBLE.
(Matthew 24:30-32)
30. Then the sign of the Son of Man WILL APPEAR in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they WILL SEE the Son of man COMING on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31. And he will send his angels with a loud CRY of TRUMPETS, which will gather his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
