Rejected

"He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. "

Isaiah 53: 3

The pain of rejection can only be healed when one accepts the sacrifice of the Calvary. The Almighty's compassion is being offered to those who believe.

Sword coming

" But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand."

Ezekiel 33: 6

Everyone who is born of the Spirit has a responsibility to play the spiritual trumpet and announce the good news of the Gospel. Tell the world that the Lord Jesus has resurrected in order to fulfil His promises in the lives of those who believe.

Hunt

"If my head is exalted, you hunt me like a fierce lion, and again You show Yourself awesome against me."

Job 10: 16

Those who are called and chosen by God cannot always resist Him. Sooner or later, they'll render themselves, and will pay whatever price they need to serve Him with all their body, mind, and spirit.

Crushed

"For the LORD has called you like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a youthful wife when you were refused' says your God."

Isaiah 54:6

God has used the torments of life to awaken those who are suffering. When you're crushed spiritually, His Voice is more present and His Ears more audible. If your soul is crying in pain now, take this opportunity and say: yes Lord, I want your help!

Emptiness of soul

"The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever! ."

Psalms 22: 26

Emptiness of the heart can only be filled with the joy of the new birth. It's the exclusive work of the Holy Spirit, nevertheless, for it to happen, there must be a desire from all your heart, mind, and soul to receive it.

Death

" I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave,[c] I will be your destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes.”
Hosea 13:14

Those who are born of God do not fear death. They're not afraid because they have a divine nature. But those who are not born of the Spirit, their nature remains human. For this reason, only the word 'death' is enough to scare them. Much more it's nearness!

Soul and spirit

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Hebrews 4:12

When the voice of the Holy Spirit comes to an aflicted soul, it has power to transform it into a new creature.

Vessel

"And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make."

Jeremiah 15:4

When evil prevails in one's life, it torments it daily, destroys it's self-esteem, steps on it, humiliates it, and brings it shame. But once one humbles himself before God, He comes to his rescue so he may become a new creature.

Lock

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

Revelations 3:20

The only door that opens and closes from inside is the one of the heart. The Lord Jesus is knocking, on the outside, asking to come in. It's not enough just to hear Him. You need to open the door and let Him come in.

Sadness

"How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?"

Psalms 13: 2

When one goes to the point of recognising his resistance to God's voice, it's already a sign of humbleness. Nevertheless, this alone is not enough. There must be an attitude of seeking God with all his heart, understanding, and strength.

Rule

"He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city."

Proverbs 16: 32

He who resists temptations fights an interior war. As he rules his fleshly desires to please his Lord, he's more honored than war soldiers.

Fight

"But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings..."

Hebrews 10:32

Problems we face today, though may be difficult, bring experiences for a better future. From faith to faith, God keeps moulding and improving you every day, making you into an overcomer. Never give up or complain about your fights. On the contrary, remember the faith, how much of a treasure it is, given to the chosen ones -- and one of them.

Humbleness

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5: 3

Humbleness of spirit deals with submission, servitude, and practice of the will of God. The Kingdom of God is made of people whose character is as such.

Visualize faith

" Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” Matthew 9:2

Jesus SAW the faith of those men. How does one see faith? Through attitudes, behavior, action, obedience to an assurance within... In other words, it has nothing to do with feelings or anything of the sort. When there's true faith, there are practical results.

Fruits

"You will know them by their fruits."

Matthew 7.16

You know the tree by its fruits. But the foolish one doesn't wait on time to see the fruits, decides regardless of them. The result is old plain frustration.

Oh...

“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!" 

Psalm 81.13


When the Lord exclaims: 'Oh, that My people would listen to Me...'You can see His great desire to attend to His people's urgent needs. Isn't that the same feeling parents have regarding their children?

One needs to hear and obey His Word.

Fear

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

1 John 4: 18

Those who know God live by faith, they have assurance that His eyes are upon their lives, there's no fear, for they feel secured in God's love.

Firmness

"Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away." Hebrews 2: 1

Be firm in the Word of God is to absorb the divine thoughts and practice them. For this reason, the result is quality of life. But if there's a detour of these principles, the result is disastrous.

Preparation

"...and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace."

Ephesians 6: 15

If our decisions and desires are not according to God's will, we'll certainly enter in a deep and dark pit, nearing death.

Trees

"And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

Matthew 3:10

God knows the intention of the heart of those who serve Him. If it's good or bad, time will tell. It is however impossible to pretend to serve Him. Soon, very soon it is detached from His Body.

The End

"But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers."

1 Peter 4: 7


The trumpets of the end of times are making their sounds. Only those born of God can hear them. Those who are wise take care not to fall asleep in the eternal death.

The Guide

"They shall neither hunger nor thirst, neither heat nor sun shall strike them; For He who has mercy on them will lead them, even by the springs of water He will guide them."

Isaiah 49:10

The experience with God makes any person fulfilled and happy, for His Spirit starts guiding to physical and spiritual conquests.

First Fruits Day

"O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water."

Psalms 63:1

As the first day of the week, today is the day of the first fruits to God. It's the day that the family dedicates to the Lord, to offer a living offering before Him in order to drink of the Living Waters and have their thirst met and life protected for the rest of their week.

Holy Spirit

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh..."

Acts 2.17

The promise of the Holy Spirit is an urgent need nowadays. God wants to reside in the hearts, but He needs them to be entirely available one hundred percent. It's all of Him for all of us.

Happiness

"Happy is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity."

Proverbs 28:14

To man is given daily the choice of hearing the voice of Good or evil. Those who hear and practice the voice of God fear Him and are protected from evil.

Hidden

"He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him."

Daniel 2:22

In the same way that one needs to dig the earth for precious stones, so is the Word of God, hidden treasure. Even in darkness, if sought, its Light is revealed.

Thank you!

I'd like to kindly thank everyone for all the care shown and manifested to me yesterday, on my birthday. Especially for the prayers for the development of the ministry of saving souls to the Kingdom of God.

Thank you! May the Spirit of God add millions of souls to His Kingdom for his honor and glory and that each blog reader may be one of His instruments in this spiritual war!

"Ointment and perfume delight the heart, and the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel."

Proverbs 27:9

Hear and receive

"Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of your life will be many."

Proverbs 4:10

Obedience to the Word of God is a secret of long life with all its plenitude. The wise understand this well and observe this daily.
