Divine Strength

"Your God has commanded your strength; strengthen, O God, what You have done for us." Psalms 68:28

Revolt comes when the people of God is united in faith. It's the Spirit of God moving them to acquire the rights received by the Calvary.

Stay

"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

Stay with Me and I'll stay with you. Don't stay with Me and I won't stay with you. Our covenant depends exclusively on you.

Assurance vs Doubts

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12

The spiritual war involves thoughts. The ones that believe against the ones that doubt. The thoughts that believe base themselves on the Word of God; the ones that doubt base themselves in negative words, in the five senses, in the circumstances, in other words, in the devil.

It's Written

"But He answered and said, 'It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God...Jesus said to him, 'It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God...Then Jesus said to him, 'Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” Matthew 4:4-10

Every word carries with itself a spirit. God's Word carries His Spirit, the devil's, His'. The Word of God brings a spirit of faith, conviction, courage, boldness -- God. The one of the devil brings a spirit of doubt, fear, cowardliness, incapacity. Which word has been guiding your mind?

Blood

"You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin..." Hebrews 12.4

The reading of this verse can also be done this way: you know what? In the war against the evil of this world, you haven't yet overcome because you haven't yet applied all your strength, all your faith, and all your blood... Sin is spirit. You can't overthrow it just in any way. You need to confront it with the armor of faith in order to overcome it!

Will of God

"For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." Philiphians 2.13

The moviment of revolt risen in the Church today is God's will. Everything points to the fact that God is tired of listening to His people's complaints and empty praises. Now He's calling all warriors of faith to change the unaccepted situation in their lives. Many have been called but few have been chosen.

Divine Indignation

"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day." Psalm 7.11

One of God's divine indignations is to see injustice done by the children of the devil against His children. What kind of father would be conformed to see his own son be bullied by the neighbor's son?

Conscience

"...providing honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men." 2 Corinthians 8:21

A pure conscience before God gives us the right to reject any kind of accusation, be it from hell or from people or even the whole world.

What can we do about it?

"Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful." Matthew 13: 22

In the beginning, many believed in the Word of God, but the world's glamour and the obsession with richness have blinded their own intelligence, leading them to reject the salvation. What can we do about it?

Forgiven

"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." Psalms 32:1

Those who find God's forgiveness are blessed and capable of forgiving others too. If they can't forgive, it's because their sins have not yet been covered.

Forgiveness

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Mathews 6:12

Our Father's Prayer should never be done by a grudged heart. It's as if you were condemning yourself to hell.

Belonging to the Kingdom

"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ[a] depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19

Faith is the passport of entry to the Kingdon of God. Celestial citizenship gives us rights and privileges, but also responsibilities. For this, there must be a great difference between God's Kingdom's citizens and those of this world.

God's Wrath

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness..."Romans 1:18

The unrighteous shouldn't be deceived into thinking that God's Divine compassion will disregard His justice. He has seen men's effort into hiding His existence. Sooner or later, His wrath will be revealed.

My Complaint

"Even today my complaint is bitter; My hand is listless because of my groaning."Job 23:2

Many times we just keep our sorrows inside and only the Holy Spirit knows what we're feeling. But He often allows things to happen so we may revolt and use our faith in moments of weaknesses. And as it usually happens, only later do we see how small our problems were before the Almighty Whom we serve.

Not conformed

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12.2

Noone in their good conscience revolts for nothing. The spirit of revolt also carries anger. Anger against sin; the sin that bears injustices and evil doings. Those who are of God are not conformed with this world. Instead, they aspire discipline, order, and justice. That's the Kingdom of God.

Life for a life

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10.10

The Divine will in relation to life is quite clear. But why not all those who believe in Him have life, much less abundance of it? Because they have not given their lives to Him. They've given Him their life in theory but not in practice.

Gold

Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies[a] the gold? Mathew 23.17

The Lord asked the hypocrites but why?

Because they considered the offering more important than the Altar, which was the one that sanctified it. Unfortunately, this has been the attitude of many spiritually weak and sick Christian... in fact, some have even died. They were more attentive to what they left on the Altar than Who was receiving their offerings.

Good Part

"But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10.42

The sisters Martha and Mary are two kinds of people: those who focus their life on the problems around them and those who focus their lives in the Author of Life. What kind of person are you?

Forget

"Because you would forget your misery, and remember it as waters that have passed away..." Job 11:16

When there's a personal experience with the Lord Jesus Christ, there's joy in the present and assurance of the future which makes it easy to let go of the past.

Keep from the evil one

I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. João 17:15

In this prayer, the Lord Jesus didn't pray for all human kind, but to those who followed Him faithfully. The question is: why so many who believe in Him are not protected from evil? Answer: because not all of those who say they believe are truly sincere in their belief.

The Righteous

Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker? Job 4.17

Who is righteous before the Almighty if even the angels have their imperfections? Nevertheless, the Lord Jesus' sacrifice and total surrender made it possible for His blood to purify us from all sin, making us deserving.

Uprightness

Now if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness... I Kings 9.4

Integrity and uprightness are fundamental ingredients for a relationship between the human being and God. This is the difference between those who serve Him and thos who don't.

Pleads the cause

"Plead my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your word." Psalms 119:154

Due to His sacrifice, the Lord Jesus became a Lawyer before God the Father, on behalf of those who believe He's Lord and Savior.

Snooze

"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed iswilling, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26.41

In the past, whole cities were devastated by a simple 'snooze' moment of their vigilants. The same has happened to many followers of the Lord Jesus. To watch and pray is not an option. It's a necessity. It's a question of survival.

Since the beginning

"The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever." Psalms 119:160

Since the beginnning of creation, the Promises of God have been proven to be real and true in the lives of those who sacrifice their lives to follow Him.

Affliction

"Consider my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget Your law." Psalms 119:153

The Spirit of God is attentive to those who are afflicted. But He can only help those who turn to Him.

Intelligence

"The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live." Psalms 119:144

The justice of God has been fulfilled in the lives of those who scans God's thoughts and live by them.

Keep it pure

"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." Psalms 119:9

To observe God's teachings is to practice His Word. This gives a young person wisdom to build a family, a career, and friendships.

Blood brings you closer

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ." 

Ephesians 2.13

Blood is the only element that brings the human being closer to God. He who does not have the willingness to sacrifice his life by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ does not have what it takes to conquer it towards an eternity with Him.

Light and blood

"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 John 1:7

To walk in the light is to walk according to the Christian discipline. And so we have unity among ourselves and the blood of the Lord Jesus purifies everyone of their sins.
