The Narrow Gate: The true path!

28/04/2010

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it" (Matthew 7: 13) 

Many seek quick and easy paths in the trajectory of our lives, yet fail to prevent them, since it is already "too late". "Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon Him while He is near." (Isaiah 55: 6). 

Jesus Christ, even before we meet him, warned in the scriptures (Bible) it would not be way to easy access, but rather a very narrow road, which would have difficulties, disorientation etc. However, it would become a door to meet with eternity: "I have told you this, that in me ye might have peace in the world you have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16: 33) 

 
Today, with so many events disordered (failed family, love life ruined, unemployment etc.). It becomes a path that leads to an apparent solution, to us it would be a good ALTERNATIVE paths hidden in our vision, but with final "catastrophic." The society has all the time "focusing" that as a normal accepted by us all. But we can stop - there anytime, we take just attitude!
If the lungs in each breath is precious to us, so their life, work their studies, problems, which is focused to have the light of Christ, this is off failure. 

 
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jeremiah 29: 11) 

Do not be fooled, because there are people who do not have God in their lives, but has "everything", but has NOTHING: 

 
"Lay not up treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume and where thieves do not break through nor steal." (Matthew 6: 19-20) 

It is very sad to see in our news, that each day it is becoming normal. At the moment we leave this occurs, we allow you to absorb this in our everyday lives, and even at times lost our faith.Trying to solve with our own forces, there are ways and advice from people who call themselves friends, but we know the end is death: 

 
"There is a path that seems right to man but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Proverbs 16: 25 and 14: 12) 

We humans are flawed, but we can not be unreasonable to the point of losing his mind! We should learn from those who understand the subject, for only Jesus is who knows the way of our lives! Search religion, politics, suicide, none good, therefore we are here on Earth and passengers do not take anything, there is not our soul! Where do we go if we do not know the final destination? Why every day we try, we have seen, but do not let the Light into our lives? Why do we always take the easy way, but we do not accept the Strait?

The "Drugged"

27/10/2009 

I started my life early, I met people on the road of life, wandering the city streets. At school, did not stop the teasing, classmates and even teachers were speaking ill of me. Until one day I met a very beautiful girl, her name did not exist, it was called "drug" and I "drugged." I came home that day, very crazy, after several hours doped not think of anything else ... much drugs, sex, rock and roll ... very crazy ... But all this gave me an empty, no longer stand this life, had even thought about getting a gun 38 and... This actually happened, today I know how hard it is to talk, you sense only inside your body the flames of Hell to enter, never stops, keeps coming over, but I try to liberate these monsters always come to torment me. 

I was able to improve, another day ... On the same street where I lived, I met another girl who studied with me, was not in the same class, was not as pretty to the point where I had offered the "corkscrew of marijuana," but she was beautiful when he spoke of Jesus to me, so she told me: "Drugged" because you still high? So I said: You did not realize that my name is called "Junkie", was designed only to live in this world very "drugged" my life only consists of pleasures. This drug is too crazy to leave you traveling, until mushrooms and dwarves I have ever seen. "I'm in Wonderland" ... kkk. 

Want to try? Then she told me: "But God said to him, Fool! Tonight you ask your soul, and what you have prepared for who?" (Luke 12: 20) I stopped to think, this sentence and began talking to me, only, however, I REJECT THE LOVE OF CRISTO. This was not the FIRST time that God had given me the opportunity to start a new life in Christ. I know it has no more solution, I'M LIVING IN FLAMES OF THE ENEMY! 

AUTHOR: Unfortunately, this young man had no chance of salvation, but you my friend, do not think it's over, Christ is the solution, Christ is the solution! Think and meditate: "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy: I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10: 10) "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life " 
(John 3: 16)

The spiritual blindness:

10/07/2009
We live in a world full of conflict, where we are constantly bombarded with our own eyes. Friends, family, all this make sense?
"We do not kill a person only with weapons but with words and looks"
Here comes the question in your mind: Where is God to stop all this?

The blind can not see where he usually uses a cane to follow the sounds made by rap on the floor, or use a dog as a guide dog. Most often the dog is more efficient. Now we compare with our lives: 

 Then I ask: How far will the spiritual blindness in our lives? Do you think God has forgotten? Think that God is not in control of everything?

If each of us maintain our vision out of focus, but will be blurry! Now, if we look at a proper direction can be sure of one thing: Even if you do not have the focus of vision, there's still to see, even if minimal, but at least have a notion.

So we can see why we should follow the full light of Christ into our lives, that light is the one that never fails and never goes off! You will have a clearer vision of what God has for you in all situations of life, including his family: "You are the sons of the prophets and the covenant God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall be blessed all families of the earth. " (Acts 3: 25)

You and your family is a constitution created by God! Let God be your spiritual guide and will never have a blurred vision! "He told them Jesus therefore again, saying I am the light of the world whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." (John 8: 12) Okay?

Thou see not the contradictory circumstances! God is in control, we must not therefore accommodate us!

Vanity:

28/10/2009

My days were always the same: He looked me in the mirror, I met my other side. None of that was profit. Everything was lost time. He tried to seek answers, never met! He felt fine, wonderful, loved me enough to say: "Who am I?"

The uncertainties, along paths obscure in my mind, lonely moments and delinquents. My mind was empty. Do not think of anyone! So I was the one that existed, there was nobody, there never was "somebody." They sought the secret of life, but how? "Help, help not wanted!" The sentences were floated in, my neurons, so do not understand. Even those who one day, all over ... Then came a loud voice saying to me: "Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, and quicken me in thy way." (Psalm 119: 37)

Then I began to realize that all was vanity: "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What profit hath man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun? A generation goes and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. "(Ecclesiastes 1: 2, 3). It was all useless!

Jesus said "Verily I say unto you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 18: 18)

"Jesus said to him: I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father except through me." (John 14: 6)

The Last service:

21/04/2010 
That Sunday evening, had just held the preaching about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Final moments were always ended with prayers and supplications to our God, asking for His mercy in our lives, therefore, always been my duty as a Christian pastor and follow the commandments of our Lord Jesus:"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. "(Mark 16: 15) 
I remember in the worship service, there were decisions of people surrendering their lives to Jesus as the sole and sufficient Savior.It was wonderful what God had done in these lives that were lost, as sheep that have been diverted from its true pastor. 

I tell a little story for you this: 

It was always a real spiritual struggle to convey the true gospel to all citizens of that province, as I and other Christians were doing so that nobody knew, because it was forbidden to preach the gospel in a country entirely Hindu. 
Our churches were built below ground in unfamiliar territory in the region, as well, difficult access to soldiers and policemen who were on their way to church with the intention of capturing them, and flog them to death. The night before the Sunday, me, some pastors and Christians gathered in a prayer meeting as usual, and in that moment of communion with their brethren, God had spoken to my heart to insist on forward his word to the captives, because We were relying on a God who saves and transforms! 

We left our church at 14:23 and continued on his way to the north of the province. Arriving there, we saw families and children in their homes worshiping gods and idols throughout the region.Was to look at their faces and cry out for help from above, at the same time, it was sad and shedding tears from our faces. We could not waste time even hesitate, because every moment could be caught by police and soldiers, but even so, we were still confident and vigilant in our prayers directed to God. 

With access restricted to the bible, it was difficult to pass the word to the captives of salvation. However, in pockets, were kept incomplete short chapters, so each brother in Christ drew a strategy so that the captives should hear the word of God. Every moment was tense, because everyone should speak softly and walk slowly, to avoid being captured and not heard, because we had some children and families who had been found throughout the province. At 15:44, we're back to our underground church with the "lost souls", but as hunters of men: "And he said unto them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men."(Matt. 4: 19) 

As hunters, men on the seafront, we are on the verge of soldiers and policemen as if we were their prey, "Then shall they deliver you to tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations because of my name. (Matthew 24: 9) 

Inside the underground church, listening to the footsteps of soldiers in pursuit of our quest. We tried to hide in strategic places, but even so, they captured us, "And having given them many lashes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely." (Acts 16: 23) 

A few hours in jail, interceding for God ... 
"And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately opened all the doors and the jails were released to all." (Acts 16: 26) 
Right now, soldiers and police did not believe what God had done when we were stuck, so one of them asked: 
- "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 
We answer: 
-Believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved you and your home. 
Right now, one of the soldiers still insisted on denying, and said: 
-I do not believe in God or you deny Jesus or be dead! 
"This saying is trustworthy: If we die with him, he will live if we persevere we shall also reign with him. If we deny he also will deny us: if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he can not deny himself "(2 Timothy 2:11-13 NIV) 
"Then the King will say to those on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world" (Matthew 25: 34) 


And during Sunday night ... Those who accepted Christ will reign for all eternity, good and perfect will of God the Father! Amen!

Awake O Brazil!

07/04/2010 

"And if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land . (II Chronicles 7: 14) 

O Brazil, come to me elect nation, a royal priesthood! Repent of their sins, their iniquities, let his past transgressions and his back!Open your spiritual eyes to me, O elect nation! Forget their wealth and material well, you start up of hatred in their hearts with the next stupid, stop with disbelief that ye have with me, for I am your God! The God of Jacob! 
I did not see their idols and other gods, nor are similar to them, for they neither speak nor hear your prayers! "To them become like those who do, as do all who trust in them." (Psalms 115: 8) 

Erase the sensationalism of their arrogant faces and I look at all your heart: "Then shalt seek there the LORD thy God, and you will find when you seek with all your heart and with all thy soul." (Deuteronomy 4: 29) "I will be merciful toward their iniquities, And their sins and their transgressions will I remember no more." (Hebrews 8: 12) 

O Brazil, Fear not: I'll cover you with my feathers and beneath my wings you will find refuge and strength, that only have! One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes! Trust me, Brazil! Cease the war's death, most do not stop the war of peace in my favor because I'm in control of all things and all things belong to me!"Because my hand made all these things, and so all they were made says the LORD (Isaiah 66: 2nd)

O Brazil, my son, Jesus has a message for you:

The duty of the true Christian:

27/03/2010 

"Then shall they deliver you to tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." (Matthew 24: 9)

After several moments of torture, Jesus Christ seen in your mind with his immense love untold, looked we were still sinners, which once marked the history of mankind in a way that nobody would be able to realize - there for the sake of our lives . For we crucified him on a tree dedicated to our death. In his journey to the cross, Jesus Christ proved the worst bitter cup, which became the beginning of His sweet presence in our lives, not deserved.

With its limited strength with every breath in his lungs, Jesus overcame the darkness that could imprison us for the rest of our lives. Yet still, "we see" with our eyes ignorant, His love, but love our neighbor as we see duty as a Christian. Today the society as a whole, only sees things material blessings, most do not see the greater blessing by the love of God which is salvation through Jesus Christ. 

Let's stop and think a bit and see if we are actually experiencing His love when we are persecuted, and follow the example of true believers who suffer for love of Christ in countries, that the gospel is forbidden, and many healthy killed by accepting the Truth Your Love. To love Christ is above all, to promote His love with others regardless of race, social class or gullible, because if God could see how man, first he would not be God. 
We as Christians, we can follow the true example of all men who ever lived on Earth! 

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, amen."(Revelation 22: 21)

The real battle:

12/03/2010 
In the midst of battle ... 

On my horse ran around the crowd, voices shouting in my ears for help ... Sweat running down my face, in certain circumstances tilted to the side, and I focused on the weaknesses of the opponent, in order to capture him. Just ahead, my sword, like a sharp sickle quickly penetrated the face of the enemy. Exact moments of suffering, agony and cries. The chasm of fear trying to blur my vision of a warrior, warrior, and insisted that persisted in the battle for a win, however, has not yet reached. Attacked by enemy forces, my chest began to drip drops of blood in my body, it was impossible to contain them! At such moments, all I heard was silence in my soul, as the beginning of defeat ... My breaths were surrounding according to the latest hits of my life then, too weak to continue, saying to my soldiers: 
-Forward! Onward! Start the fight again. Wage war in favor of our army! Go, make of you a life hungry for Lost Souls, give all the best for our nation! 

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, to proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:" (I Peter 2: 9) 

However, I heard a voice of a soldier who said: 
"Forjães swords of your hoes, sickles and spears of your, let the weak say I am strong." (Joel 3: 10) 

"A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right, but you will not come near" (Psalm 91: 7) 

The wounds, unhealed past, insisted once again to the end! Later on, I saw a child with her face bruised and bloodied, though, with a beautiful smile on her lips, asking for help to poor soldier, which persisted for the life of the beautiful girl, joyful and painful ... 
Almost no strength to talk, she told me: 
-Thank you Lord for giving his life for mine, I know that we are warriors and soldiers, victims of war and why we are upset because there is a God of the impossible on our side! 
The LORD GOD sent a message to you: 
"(...) Surely I am with you always, until the end of time, amen. " 
(Matthew 28: 20) 

Directing my face to his face was not to contain his words or encouragement to express myself. From my mouth came only silence and the tears ran from my face: 

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with them that weep" (Romans 12: 15) 

"Without struggle, there is victory" 

"But we who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation" (I Thessalonians 5: 8) 

"But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (I Corinthians 15: 57) 
"For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith." (I John 5: 4) 

See the message below, most remember: 
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but rather against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6: 12)

The rose and the gardener:

18/02/2010 
Every morning I looked at the roses in my field, it was customary to do this procedure, because since childhood he liked to cultivate, plant and harvest.Carefully picked up the seeds, and finally put manure to fill them. 
All this for me was magnificent.Was happy all the time in the sun and nature helped me, I had no words! At any moment, I wondered how it was the beginning of everything, like the roses grew, their roots, rain declining toward earth ... 
One day, whereas my work was not in vain, I realized that something was going wrong in the cultivation of roses, then, was born and died very fast. They were apparently withered aspect of ill treated. 
I searched in some books to help solve the problems, since from what I understand of roses, always did the same process - as a start. However, the books where the information sought did not help solve the problems! Something was preventing the natural growth. I had no other choice, except to resort to my father. 

He advised:  

3b Behold, a sower went forth to sow. 
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside and the birds came and devoured them; 
5 And some fell upon stony places, where there was not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no land based; 
6 But when the sun, burned and withered away because it had no root. 
7 And some fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it. 
8 And other fell on good soil and brought forth fruit a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 
(Matthew 13:3 b, at 8) or (Luke 8:5, at 8) 

At the end of the speech he explained, saying: 

1b The seed is the word of God; 
12 And those along the way, these are the ones who hear, then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, not to be saved by believing; 
13 And those who are on stone, these are those who hear the word, receive it with joy, but have no root, just believe for some time, and in time of temptation fall away; 
14 And that which fell among thorns are they who heard and, going forward, are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection; 
15 And that which fell on good ground, these are the ones who, hearing the word, keep an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience. 
(Luke 8: 11b, at 15) 

The word of God says: 

"Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6: 7) 

"I could learn that the roses I planted, there were renewed in my heart" Author: What can you learn from this lesson deals! God bless.

Family x marriage: an institution created by God:

14/02/2010 

Marriage is the fusion of two beings, male and female (man and woman), aiming to shape up one flesh. 
God in the beginning of his creation that he saw all his works were perfect and pleasant: 
"So God created man in his image, the image of God he created him, male and female he created them." (Genesis 1: 27) 


"And God saw everything that he had made and behold it was very good and the evening and morning were the sixth day." (Genesis 1: 31) 


"And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her to Adam. 
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because the man was taken. 
Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cling to his wife, and they have become one flesh. " (Genesis 2: 22-24) 

"And there on the seventh day God ended his work which had rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done." (Genesis 2: 2) 

Consider the verses above describe some parts of creation, that is, all things were done according to God's perfect will. However, I must stress that God will prepare something for us, even before it was done: The wedding - as the beginning. 

Many people when they know through a dating, they begin their lives in the APPARENT have an intimate knowledge with one another, so they think everything is rosy and so fall in love in a way, through uncontrolled. Others already feel a little different even before marrying lest future disappointments, however, few think so.

  Marry a spouse at the altar in the middle where all people are witnessing may be for some the best moments that a couple go in your life, but for others the beginning of a ceremony in which God's will not was established, can become a great tragedy for the remains of their lives, or seen a real tsunami! ADVISES THAT READ THE TOPIC ON TIME GOD: "Time of God or the weather man? "Many people end up doing" their minds "at the wrong times and end up disappointing not to wait God's time. The clock of God never walks late! " http://messagesgod.blogspot.com/2010/05/05022010-meaning-of-khronos-greek-which.html

With all these events "scary", or think there are people who marry, such as fear of their future marriage does not work! Believe me, there are more documents to declare it as an option if single particular. This actually is not what God wants for us, He created man or woman to live alone, so that there is a family! 

There are people who have had failed marriages, for failing to follow appropriate guidelines even before they met, though, there are no perfect couples. The question that may interfere with a couple, is very divergent, because each case is to be studied.Look only to the problem will not do anything, issues to be discussed between a spouse and others, have to have a firmament, beyond that, is failure, but the foundation for a couple enjoy regardless of situations - that most couples fail to see is a covenant between God, through Jesus Christ. 

Alliance between the toes of a couple, not to say that both live really, who served on the wedding day. Compromise between a couple, is to put more fingers in alliance, is beyond all, have alliances with unique purposes only directed to God. 

A phrase that I caught and never forget: "If you think, in getting married to be happy, rather than case" "So, marry thinking of making someone happy," So either they both have the same vision! 

"Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her" (Ephesians 5: 25) 

"Likewise, ye wives, be subject to your husbands so that even if any obey not the word, by the size of their women to be won without a word," (I Peter 3: 1) 

God is not only that the marriage can be happy, do not be fooled!The whole purpose that God made with us, is that his name be glorified for all and forever, Amen! 
Here are a few reports of God's covenant regarding: 
The Bible tells us some historical facts that happened at the time whom God calls Abraham to an alliance: 
"Now the LORD said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy land, thy kindred and from thy father's house to the land I will show you. 
And will make thee a great nation and bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing. " "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curse thee: and in thee shall be blessed all the families of the earth."(Genesis 12: 1-3) 
We are descendants of Abraham's promise, so we have a connection that was established by God: The family! 

ADVICE

Friend, if you live today thinking that your marriage or your family, not worth more than just hope, that eastern parts help the people of his church, pastors, someone you can trust (first pray, and kneel before God, since it will put people to help you) who will advise to have a vision that only God can interfere in your marriage, because the enemy has no power to mess with your wedding, let alone your family! First, firm with God apart from that, you will not be able to resolve their marital problems! Our main pastor, Jesus Christ always be with us: 

"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, until the end of time, amen." (Matthew 28: 20)
