Life for the Blood

"Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you." John 6:53

When you participate of the Lord's Supper, you're celebrating the convenant with the Lord Jesus Christ. You also remember His sacrifice so that you won't forget to keep doing yours.

Grace before God

" Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16

He who seeks and perseveres in the ways of the Spirit of God, receives the strength to fight and overcome in tribulation times.

Sharper

"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

Those who come before God with their entire heart give His Spirit freedom to work His Promises in his whole life.

Earnest Heed

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

Nothing and noone can be more important than the councils from the Word of God.

Faith and trust

"For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: “ In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30.15

Trust is not a feeling. The strength of your arms is only a mere temporary emotion. But the power of the assurance produces peace and tranquility.

Question

"Have I not commanded you?" Joshua 1.9

Three times God had to tell Joshua to be strong and courageous. The last time, with much determination, He said: Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? I can hear Him say the same thing to me TODAY. For just as He was with Joshua and confirmed through Jesus that He'd be with us all the days of our lives, then wait for what?

Strong and courageous

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1.9

God doesn't ask for the impossible. When there's a need for strength and courage, He's asking for obedience to His Will, even if we go against the whole world. Only those who persevere are strong. Only those who are determined are courageous.

The Light you need

“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8.12

If you don't follow the Lord Jesus, you don't really understand life. You're blind and you don't even know it. You walk in darkness, that's why you fall and get hurt all the time. Being spiritually blind is worst than being physically blind.

Pleasing sacrifices

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, You will not despise." Psalms 51:17

Surrendering your life on the Altar without any reservations and with all your strength, heart, and understanding makes the answer of God come immediately. This is the kind of sacrifice that is most pleasant to Him, which also attracts the Spirit of God.

His Own

"Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." Psalms 55:22

Don't we have so much care for our children? If we are so full of mistakes and still behave that way with our own, how about God with His Children? The problem is that not all His children trust Him.

Rainbow

The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” Genesis 9.16

The rainbow is one of the signs of God's covenant with us human beings. Those who accept this covenant have the right to Divine Promises.

Wrong Pact

"Woe to the rebellious children,” says the LORD, "Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin..." Isaíah 30:1

Many have had the courage to make a pact with the devil and insist on the way of rebellion. They have no fear of God. They know good and evil, so until when will they keep this way?

Personal Property

"Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine." Exodus 19.5

God never expects the impossible because He knows our limitations. To hear His Voice and practice it is a question of obedience. Therefore, we become His Personal Property.

Permanent Presence

‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’ Haggai 2:5

In a covenant with God, within the New Testament, there's guarantee of God's permanent presence within us while we believe in His Word and practice it.

React

"Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine." Exodus 19:5

The promises of God are for those who hear and practice His Words. That is, those who react to His covenant.

Covenant

"And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you." Genesis 17:7 

This everlasting covenant made for Abraham can only have an affect in the life of those who believe in the Lord Jesus and truly act on their belief. That is, they obey the Word of God.

Being One

"That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.." John 17:21

From the first day of a person's new birth, the child of God becomes one with God. He acquires His character, thinks like Him, and desires what He desires. Thus the reason his sole purpose is to save souls.

Master of masters

"Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me." John 7:16

Those who give their life to the Lord Jesus and follow His teachings are in agreement with the covenant with God the Father.

Thirsty

"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

Just like the dry land is eager for water, a prisioner for freedom,and the blind for light, the soul needs to be in relation to God. Jesus can only save those who are lost.

Strengthened

"...that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man..." Ephesians 3:16

The action of the Holy Spirit strengthens the faith, making it useful for the Work of God. In fact, it makes those who serve and perform God's will stronger.

Abide

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." John 15:4

A conquest is not hard, hard is to establish it; Surrendering your life to God is not hard, hard is to abide in Him. Thus, a great need of the baptism with the Holy Spirit.

Ransomed

"And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Isaiah 35:10

Yesterday, Saturday, many souls were restored to the Kingdom of the Lord. All the burden of sins were forgiven; the sadness and the sorrow fled. Truly, there was salvation in this house.

Much Joy

"Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy..." Psalms 43:4

The Altar is a place of offering of sacrifices and also a place to receive the Spirit of Joy, much joy!

Joy of salvation

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit."

Psalms 51:12

The confession of sins saves our souls from the accusations from hell, which makes it possible for us to receive the Spirit of God.

Joy and Rejoicing of the heart

"Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts." Jeremiah 15:16

When the human being drinks of the Word of God, his spirit resists the thoughts of doubts. And he overcomes himself, and above all, the devil.

If you love Him

"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me." Proverbs 8:17

If the first motive of satisfaction in life is the Lord, then He'll reveal His greatness and give the Holy Spirit to guide to green pastures.

Pillar of Fire

"He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people."         Exodus 13:22

The pillar of cloud followed the Children of Israel in the desert. This was the Holy Spirit. Today, He lives inside each Christian sealed by His Son.

Strong Fruits

"He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." Psalms 1:3

Those who have the Holy Spirit also go through deserts. But they not only survive them, but also become better, more mature in their faith, and filled with new experiences to be shared. Their work prospers with dignity.

Longsuffering

"But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth." Psalms 86:15

When there's sincere conversion, the one can see God's glory in one's life.
