REFLECTS...

WHERE'S YOUR HOME AT STORM?



WE'RE USED TO SEE ON TV (TELE NEWSPAPERS) TRAGED NEWS WHEN THERE ARE STORMS, TEMPORARY, TSUNAMIS, HURRICANES, TORNAS. NATURAL PHENOMENONES NOT ALWAYS PREVIOUSLY DESTROYING CITIES, HOUSES, CONSTRUCTIONS IN MINUTES AND WASHING EVERYTHING WHERE THEY PASS. Leaving a feeling of desolation, despair, panic, fear of tomorrow. FOR SOME MATERIAL LOSSES, FOR OTHER, FAMILY LOSSES AND OTHER STILL ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT TO SAY TO CONSOLATE THESE PEOPLE?
ALSO, THE COMBINATION OF IRREGULAR CONSTRUCTIONS AND NATURAL PHENOMENA ARE GENERALLY FATAL OR LEAVING SEQUELS. WE SEE PEOPLE LOSE EVERYTHING. Even the very life.
The truth is that this disastrous combination can affect our lives and, unexpectedly, as in the passages you will read below.


• WHERE IS OUR HOME, WHICH ARE OURSELVES, AT THE TIME WHICH STORMS OF LIFE ARRIVE?

• WHERE ARE OUR BASES FINISHED?

• Who do we resort to when tragedies knock on our door?

• WHO CAN WE TRUST OUR HELP?

• Where do we go?

• What will we look like after the storm has passed?

• What will happen to us?

• How will we recover from this storm? How to rebuild?

• WHERE TO GO WHEN EVERYTHING IS LOST?


THE REALITY IS THAT THESE STORMS COME ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE QUESTION IS:

1. HOW WILL WE PREPARE WHEN IT PASSES?

2. WHAT DO YOU DO TO MINIMIZE YOUR DAMAGE?


3. WHAT DAMAGE CAN THESE STORMS CAUSE IN OUR LIVES?

4. WHAT WILL OUR REACTION BEFORE HER? Are we safe or not? WILL IT MAKE IT SEQUELLE OR NOT?

5. WHAT OUR POSTURE BEFORE THE UNEXPECTED?

6. Will we learn something from her or not?

7. OUR FAITH WILL BE TESTED. WILL WE BE APPROVED OR NOT?

8. Can we get us back? WITH WHO'S HELP?

9. ARE WE STRONGER OR NOT?

10. To whom shall we give due thanks for such a great deliverance? OR COMFORT?



There are times when the storm comes without "weather forecast" as in the case below, unexpectedly. It's so strong, it looks like we're going to succumb. It's so desperate that there seems to be no solution. WINDS ARE CONTRARY AND WE DO NOT EXIT. HOWEVER, REMEMBER: JESUS ​​IS IN THE BOAT OF HIS LIFE, SLEEPING ON A PILLOW KNOW WHY? He doesn't need to worry, Jesus is the answer. It is the solution. He is expecting to be awakened by your distress call.

MARK 4: 35-41
Jesus appeases the storm
(Mt 8: 23-27 Luke 8: 22-25)

35 And when it was evening, he said unto them, Let us go over to the other side.
36 And they, leaving the multitude, took him with him as he was in the boat; And there were with him other little boats.
37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were rising over the boat, so that it was full.
38 And he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow, and they awoke him, saying unto him, Master, dost thou not perish?
39 And he aroused and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Be still, be still. And the wind stilled, and there was great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are you so shy? Don't you have faith yet?
41 And they felt a great fear, and said one to another, But who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?



Hearing the Word of the Eternal Yahweh, try to practice it. BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE ROCK. INTEMPTERS WILL COME. BUT, THEY CAN'T SHAK YOUR HOUSE (LIFE), BECAUSE IT IS FIRMED ON THE ROCK THAT IS JESUS.

MATTHEW 7: 24-29
(Luke 6: 46-49)


24 And whosoever heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto the wise man that built his house upon the rock;
25 And the rain came down, and rivers flowed, and winds blew, and fought against that house, and it did not fall, because it was built on the rock.
26 And he that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, I will liken him to the foolish man that built his house upon the sand;
27 And the rain came down, and rivers flowed, and winds blew, and fought against that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.
28 And it came to pass that when Jesus had concluded this discourse, the multitude wondered at his teaching.
29 Because he taught them as having authority; and not like the scribes.

DID YOU KNOW?

THAT'S TRUE FATHER LOVE ...
IF YOU'RE PASSING THROUGH ETERNAL DISCIPLINE, JOY! HE LOVES YOU!

WHAT THE ETERNAL YHWH EXPECTS FROM US ...

MATTHEW 5: 43-48

43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you; that ye may be children of your Father which is in heaven;
45 For he causes his sun to rise upon evil and good, and rain to fall upon the just and the unrighteous.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not the publicans also the same?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what do you do too much? Aren't publicans like that too?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

HEBREWS 12: 1-29

Perseverance in the midst of trials, following the example of Christ
1 Therefore we also, because we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us leave all the awkwardness, and the sin that so closely surrounds us, and run patiently on the career that is set before us,
2 Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of the faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the affront, and sat at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Consider therefore him that endured such contradictions of sinners against himself, that ye be not weakened, failing in your spirits.
4 You have not yet resisted to the blood, fighting against sin.
5 And you have already forgotten the exhortation which you argue with you as sons: My son, do not despise the Lord's correction, and do not faint when you are reproved by Him;
6 For the LORD correcteth he that loveth, and beateth him that receiveth for a son.
7 If you endure correction, God treats you as sons; For what son is the father not right?
8 But if you are without discipline, in which everyone is made a participant, then you are bastards, not children.
9 Moreover, we had our fathers after the flesh, to correct us, and we reverenced them; Shall we not subject ourselves much more to the Father of spirits to live?
10 For those, indeed, for a little while corrected us as they saw fit; but this, for our benefit, to be partakers of his holiness.
11 And indeed all correction to the present seems not to be joyful but sadness, but afterward it produces a peaceful fruit of righteousness in those exercised by it.
Exhortation to holiness: several precepts
12 Therefore lift up the weary hands, and the broken knees,
13 And make straight paths for your feet, that whoever limps may not turn aside, but be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord;
15 Beware lest any man deprive himself of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up trouble you, and many defile themselves by it.
16 And let no one be wanton or profane, like Esau, who has sold his birthright for a meal.
17 For ye know that, though he would later inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he found no place of repentance, though he sought him with tears.
18 For you have not come to the palpable mountain, burning with fire and darkness and darkness and storm,
19 And the sound of the trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard, asked that they should no more speak to them;
20 For they could not abide what they were commanded: If an animal touches the mountain, it will be stoned or thrown with a dart.
21 And so terrible was the vision, that Moses said, I am all amazed and trembling.
22 But you came to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the many thousands of angels;
23 To the universal assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect;
24 And to Jesus the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaks better than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh; For if those who have rejected what on earth warned them have not escaped, much less we, if we turn from Him who is from heaven;
26 The voice of which he then moved the earth, and now he said, saying, Yet once more will I move not only the earth, but the heaven also.
27 And this word: Yet once more, it shows the change of moveable things, as things done, that the immovables may remain.
28 Therefore, having received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us retain grace, whereby we may serve God pleasantly, with reverence and godliness;
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

LUCAS 11: 9-13


9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it will be opened to you;
10 For everyone who asks receives; and the seeker findeth; And to him who knocks it will open.
11 And which father of you, if his son ask him for bread, shall he give him a stone? Or, if you ask for fish, will you give him a snake for fish?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 For if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

IT'S STILL POSSIBLE! GO BACK TO FATHER'S ARMS ...

GO BACK TO FATHER ... HE'S STILL ARMS OPEN ...



HAPPY EVERY DAY, IT'S DAY TO NEAR FATHER!


I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ARE? What choices did you make? WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE AFTER THESE CHOICES? What sufferings have you gone through? IF THERE WAS REPENTANCE? IF I WAS LEARNED? HELP OTHERS ON THE WAY? IF I WAS HELPED?
IF YOUR HEART HARDENED BY PAIN? OR IF YOU ARE BROKEN?

BUT, ONE THING I KNOW:
NO MATTER HOW MUCH SIN ARE YOU?
NO MATTER HOW DIRTY DO YOU FEEL?
We have an everlasting, loving, merciful, compassionate Father, who sees our pains and sufferings, and yet he is open-armed to forgive us. KNOW YOU NEARER AND DEPEND ON HIM.

PSALM 119: 65-72
I trust your commandments

65 O LORD God, you have kept your promise
and you have been good to me, your servant.
66 Give me wisdom and knowledge, for I trust in your commandments.
Before you punished me, I was wrong, but now I obey your word.
68 O God, you are good and you do good; teach me your commandments.
69 The proud tell lies against me,
but I obey your commandments with all my heart.
70 These men don't want to learn your law, but I take pleasure in it.
71 It was good that I had been punished, so I learned your commandments.
72 Your law is worth more to me than all the wealth in the world.


Many times the suffering comes from the bad choices we make. At a moment of impetuousness, at a moment of rebellion. YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE YOUR OWN WISHES BY INFLUENCE OF THIRD PARTIES OR YOURSELF. THIS HAPPENED WITH THE YOUNGEST SON OF A RIGHT MAN ... DO YOU KNOW THE PROUD SON'S HISTORY?

LUCAS 15: 11-32
The Parable of the Lost Son

11 And Jesus said,
- A man had two kids. 12 One day the younger said to his father, "Father, I want you to give me now my share of the inheritance."
- And the father divided the goods between the two. 13 A few days later, the younger son gathered up all that was his own and left for a country far away. There he lived a life full of sin and wasted all he had.
14 - The boy had already spent it all, when there was a great famine in that country, and he began to have need.15 Then he sought one of the inhabitants of that land and asked for help. He sent him to his farm to take care of the pigs.16 There, hungry, he wanted to eat what the pigs ate, but nobody gave him anything. Falling into himself, he thought, “How many of my father's workers have left over food, and I'm here starving! 18 I will go back to my father's house and say, "Father, I have sinned against God and against you, 19 and I no longer deserve to be called your son." Accept me as one of your workers. '”20 So he left and went back to his father's house.
- When the boy was still away from home, the father spotted him. And, pitying his son, he ran and hugged him and kissed him. 21 And the son said, "Father, I have sinned against God and against you, and I no longer deserve to be called your son!"
22 But the father commanded the servants, “Hurry! Bring the best outfit and wear it. Put a ring on his toe and sandals on his feet. 23 Also bring and kill the fat calf. Let's start celebrating 24 because this son of mine was dead and lived again; was lost and was found. ”
- And they started the party.
25 Meanwhile, the eldest son was in the field. When he returned and came close to the house, he heard the music and the noise of the dance. 26 Then he called an employee and asked, "What is going on?"
27 - The servant replied: “Your brother returned home alive and well. That's why your father had the fat calf killed. ”
28 - The eldest son was angry and would not enter. Then his father came out and urged him to come in. 29 But he replied, “I have been working for a slave for you for so many years, and I have never disobeyed an order from you. Even so, you never even gave me a kid to have a party with my friends. 30 But this son of yours squandered all that you owned, spending money on prostitutes. And now he comes back, and you have the fat calf killed! ”
31 - Then the father answered, “My son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to have this party to show our joy. For this brother of his was dead and lived again; was lost and was found. ”

MATTHEW 6: 24-34
God and the riches

24 A slave cannot serve two masters at the same time, for he will reject one and prefer the other; or be faithful to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and also serve money.
That's why I tell you, don't worry about the food and drink you need to live or the clothes you need to get dressed. After all, is life no more important than food? And is the body no more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds that fly across the sky: they do not sow, they do not reap, nor do they store food. However, your Father in heaven feeds them. Aren't you worth much more than birds? And none of you can lengthen your life, no matter how much you worry about it.
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers in the field grow: they don't work or make clothes for themselves. 29 But I tell you that not even Solomon, being so rich, wore clothes as beautiful as these flowers. 30 God is the one who wears the grass of the field, which gives flower today and disappears tomorrow, burned in the oven. Then of course he will dress you too, who have such little faith! 31 So don't worry, asking, “Where are we going to get food?” Or “Where are we going to get drink?” Or “Where are we going to get clothes?” 32 For the heathen are always looking for these things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all this. 33 Therefore, put first the kingdom of God and that which God wills in your life, and he will give you all these things. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring your own concerns. Each day has its own difficulties.


READ PSALM 139 GOD'S OMNIPRESENCE AND OMNIPOTENCE. YOU WILL SEE HOW MUCH YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT TO HIM!

PROMISE:

MATTHEW 10
Confess and deny Christ

32 - If a person publicly affirms that he belongs to me, I also, on the Day of Judgment, will affirm before my Father in heaven that he belongs to me. 33 But if a person publicly says that he does not belong to me, I will say on Judgment Day before my Father in heaven that he does not belong to me.

STILL POSSIBLE, GO BACK TO FATHER'S ARMS! DO NOT ALLOW PRIDE OR ANY SIN TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM THE BREEDER! FALL ON YOU! AND RECOGNIZE YOUR ERRORS IN PRAYER. The Eternal wants to forgive you and have communion with you. FOR THE ETERNAL WISHES TO SAVE.

1 Timothy 2: 1-6

1 Therefore I warn you, first of all, to make deprecations, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all men;
2 By kings, and by all that are in the highest, that we may lead a quiet and quiet life in all godliness and honesty;
3 For this is good and pleasant before God our Savior,
4 Who wants all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Jesus Christ the man.
6 Who gave himself a redemption price for all, to be a testimony in his day.

WHAT IS YOUR HARVEST?

THE ETERNAL (YHWH) HAS NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF NO ONE THAT IS LOST!

• MANY PEOPLE BEFORE TRAGEDIA ASK WHY DID THE ETERNAL LET THIS HAPPEN?

• Why did I pray so much and my relative died?

• Why did the Eternal allow this sickness?

• WHY LOST MY HOUSE?

• Why did this accident happen?
THE ANSWER MAY BE IN OUR SAME OR IN THE PURPOSES OF THE ETERNAL THAT EVEN WITH YOU, WILL REVEAL ...


39 Why, then, does the living man complain? Complain each of your sins.
Lamentations 3:39

THAT'S THE LAW:

Galatians 6: 7 Do not err: God will not be mocked. For whatever a man sows, he will also reap.

IF THERE IS REPENTANCE, THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES, BUT NOT DEATH. (SPIRITUAL)
EZEQUIEL 33: 10-12

10 Thou therefore, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus spake ye, saying, Since our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we fail in them, how shall we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Be converted, be converted from your evil ways; For why shall you die, O house of Israel?
12 Thou therefore, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall for it in the day that he turns from his wickedness. Neither can the righteous live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.


EZEQUIEL 18: 1-32


The responsibility is personal
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 What do you think that you that use this parable about the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten green grapes, and the teeth of their children are dull?
3 I live, saith the Lord GOD, that ye shall never speak this parable in Israel.
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as is the soul of the father, so is the soul of the son mine: the soul that sins shall die.
5 Therefore being a righteous man, and doing judgment and righteousness,
6 Neither eating upon the mountains, nor lifting up their eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiling the wife of their neighbor, and drawing nigh unto the woman in their separation;
7 By not oppressing anyone, rendering the debtor his pledge, not stealing, giving his bread to the hungry, and covering the naked with clothes,
8 Not giving their money to usury, and not receiving too much, turning their hand from unrighteousness, and making true judgment between man and man;
9 By walking in my statutes, and keeping my judgments, and doing according to the truth, the just shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
10 And if he begat a thief-bloodshed son, to do to his brother any of these things;
11 And not to do all those duties, but to eat upon the mountains, and to defile his neighbour's wife,
12 To oppress the poor and needy, to steal, not to pledge, and to lift up their eyes to idols, and to commit abomination;
13 And lend with usury, and receive much, shall he live? It will not live. All these abominations he has done will surely die; your blood will be upon him.
14 And, behold, also, if he begets a son to see all the sins his father has done, and seeing them, he does no such thing,
15 Do not eat upon the mountains, nor lift up their eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defile the wife of their neighbor;
16 And oppress no one, and hold not the pledge, nor steal, give his bread to the hungry, and cover the naked with clothing;
17 To turn away his hand from the poor, to receive no usury and interest, to fulfill my judgments, and to walk in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father; surely will live.
18 His father, because he had done extortion, stole his brother's goods, and did evil in the midst of his people, behold, he shall die for their iniquity.
19 But ye say, Why shall not the son bear the iniquity of the father? For the son proceeded with righteousness and justice, and kept all my statutes, and did them, and he shall surely live.
20 The soul that sins shall die; the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall fall upon him.
21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins, and keep all my statutes, and do justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; will not die.
22 Of all the transgressions which he hath committed, there shall be no remembrance against him; for the righteousness that he has done shall live.
23 Would I desire the death of the wicked anyway? saith the Lord GOD; Do I not long before I turn from your ways, and live?
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked do, shall he live? Of all the righteousnesses which he has done, there shall be no memory; in his transgression with which he transgressed, and in his sin with which he sinned, he shall die in them.
25 But you say, The way of the Lord is not right. Hear now, O house of Israel, Is not my way straight? Aren't your ways winding?
26 If the righteous turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity, he shall die for it; in iniquity which he has committed shall die.
27 But when the wicked of his wickedness is turned back, and will do so with justice and righteousness, he shall keep his soul alive.
28 For he reconsiders and turns from all his transgressions which he has committed; surely will live, not die.
29 But the house of Israel says, The way of the LORD is not right. Are not my ways right, O house of Israel? And are not your ways crooked?
30 Therefore will I judge you, every one according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, and iniquity shall not cause you to stumble.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions with which you have transgressed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; For why should ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of the dead, saith the Lord GOD; Turn therefore, and live.

How does God view violence?
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Many people, including some who are religious, feel that violence is a justified reaction to provocation. And millions consider media violence an acceptable form of entertainment.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Near the city of Mosul in northern Iraq are the ruins of what was once a large city: Nineveh, the capital of the former Assyrian Empire. While the city was still a thriving metropolis, the Bible predicted that God would "make Nineveh a desolate waste," that is, ruin it. (Zephaniah 2:13) God said He would humble Nineveh because she was a "city of bloodshed." (Nahum 1: 1; 3: 1, 6) And “Jehovah [God] hates the man who sheds blood,” says Psalm 5: 6. As the ruins of Nineveh prove, God kept his word.
The violence began with the main enemy of God and man - Satan the Devil whom Jesus called a "murderer." (John 8:44) Moreover, since the whole world is “in the power of the wicked,” many people's attitudes toward violence, including their obsession with violent entertainment, are a reflection of Satan's characteristics. (1 John 5:19) To please God, we must develop hatred of violence and cultivate love for what God loves. * It is possible?
“Jehovah. . . hates those who love violence. ”- Psalm 11: 5.

Can violent people change?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Violence is simply part of human nature, which never changes.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

According to the Bible, we must reject "wrath, wrath, wickedness, outrageous language, and obscene talk." She also says, “Remove the old personality with its practices, and put on the new personality.” (Colossians 3: 8-10) Is God asking too much of us? No. People can change. *As?
 The first step is to get accurate knowledge about God. (Colossians 3:10) When a receptive person learns about our Creator, he is drawn to his standards and qualities. In this way she develops love for him and wants to please him. - 1 John 5: 3.
The second step is related to our friendships. The Bible says: “A man of violence will seduce his neighbor and will surely lead him in a way that is not good.” - Proverbs 16:29.
The third step involves discernment. It must be recognized that the tendency to violence is a serious weakness, as it reflects a lack of self-control. A peaceful person, on the other hand, has inner strength. “Better is the slow to anger than the mighty man,” says Proverbs 16:32.
“Commit yourselves to peace with all.” - Hebrews 12:14.

Will violence end someday?
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Violence has always existed and always will exist.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

“And just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more. . . . But the meek themselves shall possess the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. ”(Psalm 37:10, 11) To save the meek and peaceful, God will make those who love violence have the same end as the people of ancient Nineveh. . After that, violence will never harm the earth again! - Psalm 72: 7.

“The mild-tempered ones. . . will inherit the earth. ”- Matthew 5: 5
So now is the time to strive to please God by developing a peaceful attitude. The text of 2 Peter 3: 9 says: “Jehovah. . . He is patient with you because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but he wants everyone to repent. ”
“And they shall have to forge plowshares from their swords, and their spears, pruners.” - Isaiah 2: 4.

DO NOT BE FOOLED!

DO NOT DO WHAT YOUR HEART WANTS ...


I JOHN 2: 14-17

14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and its lust; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

II CORINTHIANS 4

2 But we reject those things which are hidden from shame, and do not walk in cunning or falsify the word of God; and so we commend ourselves to the conscience of every man, in the presence of God, through the manifestation of truth.
3 But if our gospel is still hidden, to them that perish it is hid.
4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, shine forth from them.

If you do good, will it not be accepted? But if you do not, know that sin threatens you at the door; he desires to conquer you, but you must master it. "Genesis 4: 7

that sin will continue to dominate your mortal body, making you obey your desires. Do not offer the members of your body to sin as instruments of injustice; but rather offer yourselves to God as one who has returned from death to life; and offer the members of your body unto him, as instruments of righteousness. For sin will not dominate you, for you are not under the Law, but under grace. And then? Shall we sin because we are not under the Law, but under grace? In no way! Do you not know that when you offer yourselves to obey as slaves, you become slaves to the one you obey: slaves of sin that leads to death, or obedience to righteousness? But, thank God, because, although you were slaves of sin, you began to obey with heart the form of teaching that was transmitted to you. You were delivered from sin and became slaves to righteousness. Romans 6: 12-18


IN THOSE LAST DAYS OF THE EARTH, WE HAVE LISTENED TO THE FOLLOWING PHRASES:

• DO WHAT YOUR HEART SENDS! BE HAPPY!

• DO NOT MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY! GO IN SEARCH OF YOUR HAPPINESS!

HOWEVER, THAT IS THE GREATER MISTAKE THAT SOMEONE CAN COMMIT ... FOR THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT WHAT THE ETERNAL (YHWH) THINKS, GOES TO EVALUATE BETTER AND ANALYZE SAYING: - DEPEND ... WE GO WITH CAUTION! THAT WHY YOU WILL RUN THE GREAT RISK OF YOU ARE COMMITTING SIN AND SIN LEAVES YOU FROM THE ETERNAL CREATOR (YHWH) SOON, CLOSE TO THE FATHER OF SIN: SATAN! THEREFORE BE ATTENTIVE TO THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART, THE CONCUPISCENCE OF HIS CORRUPT MEAT, THE CONCUPISMS OF THE EYES AND THE ABSENCE OF LIFE ...

Want to be happy?

How happy is that
who has his transgressions forgiven
and their sins blotted out! Psalms 32: 1


What is sin?


Sin is disobeying the Eternal (YHWH), not following its perfect pattern. Because of sin, all were separated from the Eternal One and condemned to die. Sin is the reason why there is evil in the world.
Whoever lives sin is a slave to sin and does the will of the devil, who is the father of sin. But the Eternal (YHWH) sent Jesus (YAUSHA) to deliver us from sin. Jesus (YAUSHA) never sinned but offered Himself as payment for our sins. Now whoever accepts Jesus (YAUSHA) as his savior is freed from the power of sin and is united again to the Eternal One (YHWH)!


for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23


Everyone who practices sin transgresses the Law; in fact, sin is the transgression of the Law.
1 John 3: 4

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, everyone who lives in sin is a slave to sin." John 8:34

All our acts of justice
they are as filthy rags.
We withered like leaves,
and as the wind our iniquities
take us away. Isaiah 64: 6

Against you, only against you, I have sinned and done what you disapprove of, so that your sentence is just and you are right to condemn me. I know that I have been a sinner since I was born; Yes, since my mother conceived me. I know that you desire the truth within; and in the heart you teach me wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be pure; wash me, and whiter than snow I will be. Make me to hear joy and gladness again, and the bones you have crushed will exult. Hide the face of my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Psalms 51: 4-9

Therefore consider this: Whoever knows that he should do good and does no wrong. James 4:17

Forgive my sin, which is so great!

She will give birth to a son, and you shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. "Matthew 1:21


Brethren, if anyone is caught in some sin, you who are spiritual should restore him with meekness. But let every man be careful that he also be not tempted. Take the heavy burdens of one another and thus fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6: 1-2

JEREMIAH 17: 1-18

1 The sin of Judah is written with an iron rod, with the point of a diamond engraved on the tablet of his heart, and on the horns of your altars;
2 As his sons also remember his altars, and his groves, and the thick trees, and the high hills.
3 O my mountain in the field! thy wealth, and all thy treasures, I will give thee for a prey, and thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
4 So you shall deprive yourself of your inheritance, which I have given you, and I will make you serve your enemies in the land which you do not know; for the fire that you have kindled in my anger will burn forever.
5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and turneth away his heart from the LORD.
6 For he shall be as the tamarisk in the wilderness, and shall not see when good cometh; but dwell in the dry places of the desert, in the salt and uninhabitable land.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose confidence is the LORD.
8 For it shall be as the tree planted by the waters, which spreadeth out its roots to the brook, and fears not when the heat cometh, but the leaf thereof turneth green; and in the year of drought be not troubled, nor fail to bear fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and perverse; who shall know him?
10 I, the LORD, have searched the heart and tested the kidneys; and this to give to every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As a partridge, which hath chopped up eggs which it hath not laid, so is he that gathereth riches, but not uprightly; in the midst of his days he will forsake them, and in his end will be a fool.
12 A throne of glory, set high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all those who forsake you will be ashamed; those who depart from me shall be written upon the earth; because they forsake the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I will recover; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise.
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? Come now.
16 But I did not hasten to be the shepherd following thee; neither hast I desired the day of affliction, thou knowest it; that which is gone out of my lips is before thy face.
17 Do not be to me astonishment; you are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Let those who persecute me be ashamed, and let me not be ashamed; Let them be astonished, and let me not be astonished; bring the day of evil upon them, and destroy them with double destruction.

DO YOUR PART AND BE PREPARED!

WHEN WE PREACH OTHERS ...

◄ 1 Corinthians 9:27
But I punch my own body and make it my slave, so that, having preached to others, I myself will not be reproved.

Galatians 6: 1 My brethren, if any man is caught in fault, you who are spiritual should help him to correct himself. But do it humbly and be careful that you are not tempted either.


1 Timothy 4
… Fully dedicate yourselves to the fulfillment of these responsibilities, so that all may witness to your progress.16Take care of yourself and your teaching; persevere in these duties, for in so doing you will save both your own life and all who will listen to you.


Yet I tell you the truth, that it is expedient for you to go; For if I do not go, the Comforter will not come to you. But when I go, I will send it to you.
And when he comes, he will convince the world of sin and righteousness and judgment.
Of sin, because they do not believe me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
And of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. John 16: 7-11


Many times, when we preach to other people, when we warn them, when we open their eyes, like a retaliation of SATAN AND AT THE SAME TIME, DIVINE PERMISSION: WE ARE PROOFED. I've been through this several times. The point is that we need to be approved by the Creator (YHWH). AND OUR DUTY AS CHRISTIANS IS WARNING, PREACHING THE WORK WHAT IT DOES IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY IN US TO CONVINCE ANYONE!

2 Timothy 4: 1-5

1 I adjure you before God and Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his coming, and by his kingdom;
2 preach the word, urge in time and out of time, convince, rebuke, and exhort with patience and teaching.
3 For the time will come when men will not endure sound doctrine, but desirous of hearing pleasant things, will surround themselves with teachers according to their desires;
4 And they shall turn their ears from the truth, and apply themselves to fables.
5 But be sober in all things, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, perform your ministry well.


Understand why many are still blind. That only the Eternal (YHWH) through Jesus Christ can enlighten the eyes and open them to the truth. You must be spiritually prepared and seeking in God (YHWH) to be clothed with His Armor. As you know that there is occultism (evil), there is a spiritual struggle of the devil against the Eternal YHWH. All humanity is in this war, where the reward is our souls. However, many do not have this understanding. We need to position ourselves on the right side. From the eternal
 (YHWH) and be clothed with His power armor for devil resistance and prevail ...

II CORINTHIANS 4: 2-4

2 Instead, we reject the things that are disgracefully concealed, neither walking cunningly nor falsifying the word of God; and thus we commend ourselves to the conscience of every man in the presence of God by the manifestation of the truth.

3 But if our gospel is still covered, it is covered for them that are lost.

4 In which the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, which is the image of God, may not shine unto them.

Ephesians 2: 1-22

1 And he quickened you, being ye dead in sins,
2 In what time ye walked after the course of this world, after the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit now working in the children of disobedience;
3 Among whom all of us also walked in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and thoughts; and we were by nature children of wrath, as were others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his love with which he loved us,
5 While we were still dead in our trespasses, He quickened us together with Christ (by grace are ye saved),
6 And he raised us up with him, and made us to sit in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
7 To show in the coming ages the riches of his grace through his mercy toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and this is not from you, it is the gift of God.
9 He does not come from works, so that no one can boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared for us to do in them.
11 Remember therefore that ye were in the past, Gentiles in the flesh, and called uncircumcision by those who are called the circumcision made by the hand of men;
12 At that time you were without Christ, separated from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have come near by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who made one of both peoples; and breaking down the partition wall that was in the middle,
15 In his flesh he hath broken enmity, that is, the law of commandments, which consisted of ordinances, to create in himself of them a new man, making peace;
16 And by the cross to reconcile both with God in one body, to slay the enmity with it.
17 And when he came, he preached peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near.
18 For through him we both have access to the Father in one Spirit.
19 So you are no longer strangers, no strangers, but fellow citizens of the saints, and of the family of God;
20 Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, of which Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone;
21 In which every building, which is well adjusted, is increased to a holy temple in the Lord.
22 In which also ye are together built for the habitation of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 6: 1-24

1 You children, be obedient to your parents in the Lord, for this is just.
2 Honor your father and your mother, which is the first commandment with promise.
3 That it may be well with you, and live a long time upon the earth.
4 And you fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the doctrine and admonition of the Lord.
5 Ye servants, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as with Christ;
6 Not serving in the sight, as it pleases men, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Serving willingly as the Lord, and not as men.
8 Knowing that each one will receive from the Lord all the good that he does, whether he be a servant or a free man.
9 And you, my lords, do the same to them, leaving their threats, knowing also that their Lord and yours is in heaven, and that there is no respect for him.
10 Moreover, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we must not fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness, in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And their feet shod in the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye may blot out all the fiery darts of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Praying at all times with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching over it with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
19 And for me; that I may be given the word with confidence in the opening of my mouth, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For whom I am an ambassador in chains; that I may speak freely of him, as I may say.
21 Now that you may also know my affairs, and what I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother, and the faithful minister of the Lord, shall inform you of all things.
22 Which I have sent you to the same end, that ye may know of our state, and he may comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be unto the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

CS Lewis: "No man knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good anyway. A foolish but very current idea is that good people do not know the meaning or go through temptation. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist the temptation know how strong it is. After all, you discover the strength of the enemy army fighting against it, not yielding to it. You discover the strength of a wind, trying to walk against it, don't fall. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply doesn't know what would have happened if he had waited an hour, which is why bad people, in a way, know very little about their wickedness. They lived a sheltered life because they were always giving in. We never discovered the force of the evil impulse within us until we tried to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the single man who completely knows what temptation means - the only realistic total sense of the word.

OUR HIGH PRIEST, OUR LAWYER OF DEFENSE AGAINST THE ACCUSER

Heb 4: 15-16 (Phi) Because ours is no High Priest who cannot understand our weaknesses - he has fully shared in all our experience of temptation, except that he has never sinned. Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with complete confidence, that we may receive mercy for our failures and grace to help us in times of need.

FIGHT LIKE CRAZY

Heb 12: 4 (NIV) In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted the point of shedding your blood.
... In fact, most of us have not even made an honest attempt to resist temptation. We surrendered immediately without even a good fight. We thought, "I'll stop doing this next week" or "Why fight now when I know I'll do it again anyway"? or "It's just a matter of time, and now is as good a time as any." However, temptation feeds on weaknesses and desires to which we bow. We need to start fighting to see what holiness really is, to see if we will enjoy it in eternity with God. We will also see how strong we are and what we are really made of.

SPIRITUAL WEAKNESSES

One of the things that make us give in to temptation so early is that we often have the feeling that we're going to fail anyway, so why even fight? But are we so sure of this? Didn't last year or last month's problem hit us with the same desperation? And yet with God it was possible to pass through him ..
Spiritual growth seems so impossible at the moment, and so easy when viewed in retrospect.
We need to remember how unlikely it would seem that we would: profess Christ, pray in public, witness, and every other step we take along the path as we face temptation, to simply surrender now. After all, this too will pass. We can, and we will do it by the grace of God. And God gave us His word ...

1 Cor 10:13 (TEB) The temptations you have to face are the same as others. but God keeps His promise and will not let temptations go beyond their strength. On the contrary, when temptation comes, God will give you the strength to endure it, and so you can get out of it.

ON GUARD

Gal. 6: 1 (LDH) My brethren, if anyone is caught in a fault, you who are spiritual should help him to correct himself. But do it humbly and be careful that you are not tempted either.
Prov 16:18 (LDH) Pride drives a person to destruction, and vanity brings disaster.

DON'T PUT IN DANGEROUS TERRITORY UNLESS GOD IS WITH YOU!

1 Cor 7: 5 (LDH) [For the married] ... do not deny (sexually) each other ... lest Satan tempt you because you cannot master yourself.
Eph. 4: 26b-27 (LDH) ... and don't be angry all day. Do not give the devil an opportunity.
1 Tim 6: 9 (LDH) But those who desire to become rich fall into temptation and snare, and into many foolish and wicked lusts, which plunge men into ruin and perdition.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

1 Ped. 5: 8-10 (LDH) Be alert and watch for the enemy, the Devil, walks around you like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm in the faith and face the Devil, for you know that throughout the world your brethren in faith are going through the same sufferings. But after suffering for a little while, the God who is love and who has called you to partake of his eternal glory, by being united with Christ, will himself perfect you and give you firmness, strength, and true security.

SATAN ATTACKS

Dan. 6: 16-17 (LDH) Then the king commanded to be brought to Daniel, and to be thrown into the den of lions. And the king said to Daniel, "I hope your God whom you serve with such dedication will save you." They brought a stone and with it covered the mouth of the grave. The king sealed the stone with his own ring and the ring of the kingdom's high authorities, so that even in Daniel's case the law was kept to the letter.
Oswald Chambers: "We have the idea that we must protect ourselves from some of the things God brings about us. Never! God creates circumstances and no matter what they look like, we have to face them as we continually live with Him ... They are ... temptations for the life of the Son of God in us. The honor of Jesus Christ is at stake in your life. "
Dan 6: 19-22 (LDH) Early in the morning, he (the king) arose and went quickly to the den of lions. There, in a very sad voice, he said, "Daniel, servant of the living God! Has your God, whom you serve with such dedication, been able to save you from the lions?" Daniel replied, "... My God he sent his angel, and he closed the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me. For God knows that I did nothing against him ... "
Dan 6: 23-24 (LDH) The king, very glad, commanded to bring Daniel out of the pit. So he was taken away, and they saw that no evil had happened to him, because he had trusted in God. Then the king ordered the men whom they had accused Daniel to bring. All of them, along with their women and children. And even before they reached the bottom, the lions attacked them and tore them to pieces.
Ps 23: 5 (LDH) You prepare a feast for me where my enemies can see me ...

The Secret Weapon

How would a corpse respond to this temptation? "Consider yourself dead ..." for every instinct, impulse, and desire of the flesh. This is the violence of the war of the kingdom of God (Matt. 11:12). This is the cross we carry that leads to victory. This is "the Lord's way."
Rom. 6: 11-13 (LDH) ... you should consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive to God because you are united in Christ Jesus. Therefore, let sin not rule over your mortal bodies, causing you to obey the desires of human nature. And do not give to sin any part of your body. Instead, surrender yourself to God as people who were brought from death to life; give yourself completely to him to be used to do what is good. Luke 9:23 (LDH) Then he said to all, "If anyone wants to follow me, forget your own interests, carry your cross each day and accompany me.
2 Cor 4:10 (LDH) We always carry the death of Jesus in our mortal bodies so that we can see His life in our own bodies as well.
Rom 8:13 (NAS) ... but if by the Spirit of God they kill their sinful deeds, you will live.

DO NOT TOUCH THIS ...

1 John 5:18 (LDH) We know that the children of God do not continue to sin, because the Son of God guards them, and the devil cannot touch them.
Gal. 5: 16-17 (LDH) What I mean is this: let the Spirit of God direct your lives and not obey the desires of human nature. Because what our human nature wants is against what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is against what human nature wants ...
James 4: 7 (LDH) Therefore obey God, face the devil, and he will flee from you.

THE DAY IS COMING

Eph 6: 10,13 (LDH) Finally, united with the Lord and through the power of his great power, be strong ... So now take up the armor of God. So when the day comes to stand up to the forces of evil, you will be able to resist the enemy's attack, and after fighting to the end, you will still stand firm without retreating.

2 Tim 4:18 (LDH) The Lord will save me from every evil attack.


Matt. 6:13 (LDH) "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."

WHEN DIFFICULTY COMES, WHAT KIND IS IT?

DISCIPLINE TEST / TESTING PROOF
FROM THE LORD GOD / WORLD, SATAN THE DEVIL

Disobedience Result / Follow God Pride or Exposure
How to Discern Fits Crime / Proves Faith Leads to Doom
RIGHT ANSWER Repent! / Persevere Resist!
GOD SAYS WE ARE Sons His Name in Us / The flesh is weak
END WITH Fear and Holiness / Death and Glory / Sin or Victory

1 Cor 10:13 (JFA) There was no temptation to you but human; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted above what you can resist, but by temptation he will also give you the way out, that you may endure it.

The Bible says that we have to watch and pray, be careful not to fall into the temptation of the enemy at all. We should pray every day, ask God to help us resist all temptations, and not give in to any evil sin.
If the Christian does not watch, he will fall into all temptations, and worse, will not be able to resist any sin.
We must always be prepared to watch and pray at all times, for we never know the day and time of Jesus' return. We must seek the Lord while He can be found, in order to worship and exalt your holy and glorious name. Those who are always seeking God must stand firm and faithful until the end, to dwell in the kingdom of heaven.
Below are the best Bible verses that talk about watching. Check out:

Matthew 24: 42-44 - “Watch therefore, because you do not know when your Lord will come.

So you also need to be prepared, because the Son of man will come at a time when you least expect it. ”

Ephesians 6:18 - “Pray in the Spirit at all times with all prayer and supplication; keeping this in mind, be attentive and persevere in prayer for all the saints. ”

1 Peter 1:13 - “So be prepared, ready to act; be alert and put all hope in the grace that will be given to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. ”

For he will come upon all who live on the face of all the earth. Always be attentive and pray that you may escape all that is to come and stand before the Son of man. ”

1 Peter 5: 8-9 - “Be alert and watch. The Devil, your enemy, walks around like a lion, roaring and seeking whom he may devour. Resist it by standing firm in the faith, knowing that the brothers you have around the world are going through the same sufferings. ”
