Prepare the way


“Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” Psalms 50:23

The obedience to the Word of God is a daily sacrifice. Because of this sacrifice, we open the way to victories until we reach the crown of eternal life.

Accursed exchange


"Weep not for the dead, nor bemoan him; weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country." Jeremiah 22.10 
The prophecy talks about the children of Israel who forsook their covenant with the Lord. But it also goes for all those who, one day experience from the power of God but exchanged it for the passions and wretchedness of this dark world.

Gossips!...


"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby…" I Peter 2:1-2

Malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and gossip have been common among Christians who are of the flesh. Hence the need for the pure milk of the word, like newborn babes. Only by leaving these demonic attitudes, can they mature in their faith and receive salvation.

Who dwells?


"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.'" Psalm 91.1-2

How to get to the secret place of the Most High?
Praying, fasting, meditating in the Word of God, avoiding bad companies, thinking about the things of God, in short, investing body, soul and spirit in seeking the Holy Spirit. Such effort of sacrifice shows willingness to be involved by His shadow.

Pirate version of a Christian

"Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Romans 8.9

This word SEPARATES true Christians from the false ones: Those who serve God and those who don’t.
Whoever does not have the Holy Spirit does not belong to His Son, Jesus Christ.

Under the power

"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." I Corinthians 6:12


The one born of God knows how to choose the best for his life.
When the Spirit of God is his Guide and Master, everything will go well for him. Even if at first it seems to go wrong, at the end, what was supposed to go wrong, goes right.

Forsaken

"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


The Lord is near the wounded, afflicted, rejected and wronged soul. It's His pleasure to heal it, deliver it and save it. But there must be trust in Him and and invitation for Him to come. If at this moment, you feel discouraged in you soul, invite Him to help you.

Very close

The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18


The right moment for the mercies of God to be manifested in one's life is when the ego is in shambles and ruins. That can only happen of course, when there is total surrender.

My Spirit

"For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring." Isaiah 44:3 


When the hungry and thirsty for justice is possessed by the Holy Spirit, his whole life changes. If he remains faithful, sooner or later, his family will also be blessed.

Spirit X Flesh

"The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD." Isaiah 11.2


When it comes to receiving the fullness of the Spirit of God, there can be no feelings involved.


Those who insist in mixing emotions with faith can never defeat evil. Hence the need to be born of God.

The Voice of the Spirit


Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Isaiah 6.8

 Hell is never satisfied. It’s increasingly hungry for lost souls.
Meanwhile, in heaven, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are searching for servants on the earth who through Him will go after those who are lost.
Who will go for Us?
One must be especial, more than a servant – hand-picked – in order to give up personal projects and embrace the projects of God.

Direct Channel

"So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit." John 19:30

The cry of the Lord Jesus 'it's finished' opened a direct access channel to the Father's trone. That is, to those who believe and want to be part of His kingdom.

Promise

"Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses." Joshua 1:3


God wants to see our attitude of intelligent faith; faith that is not linked to feelings. For which army overcomes their enemies based on emotions?
The devil is a spirit, and fot that reason, he uses reason to kill, steal and destroy those who use emotional faith. That is, faith that needs to SEE in order to BELIEVE.
God is Spirit and He wants to see His people conquer an abundant life by the tool called faith. That is, BELIEVE in order to SEE.

Faith: Dependence on God

"Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” Matthew 15:28


Insist on calling, pursue what we desire or persevere in the faith is the way for God to measure our faith. We prove to ourselves our belief in His power when we depend on Him.

Evil thoughts

The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. Proverbs 12.5


The right thoughts are the thoughts of faith, in the thoughts of God.
In order to overcome evil thoughts all one needs to do is confess, speak, recite, exercise the thoughts of God.
That means exercise faith.
How many times? As many times as needed!

He who overcomes

"He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son." Revelation 21:7


The one who overcomes is not the one who conquers all kinds of things.
But it is he who is born of the Holy Spirit and remains strong in his faith until death. This will inherit eternity and shall be considered by God as His son.

Fear

"So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed..." Genesis 32.7

Fear leads to distress. 
Where does fear come from? It comes from the absence of a firm conviction that God is Great and well able to sustain us.
Never mind other people's word or bad thoughts. What is written is determined and nobody can change it.

Knowledge and Practice



"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

If our fight is against spiritual forces of evil, then we must use the spiritual Power of Good to win. Just knowledge of the Word of God is not enough to win, but rather the practice of it.

Flee from evil



Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. Proverbs 14.7

The wise don't marry, walk or get together with fools. Rather they flee from them.
Better to be alone than to keep living a terrible life with someone else.
Whoever desires to keep their salvation must flee from evil so as to not get lost with it.

Trust

But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts. I Thessalonians 2.4


Only those elected by God have the privilege of spreading the Gospel. Those who do it with fear and trembling are successful. There is salvation of souls. Blessed are those who help in this work, be it directly or indirectly.

The Will of God



... continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2.13

To work on our salvation means to take care of it daily. It's from the progress of salvation that we find out the will of God. And, once practiced, one will eat the best in this earth.

Spirit of God

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1.7

The Spirit of God does not work with cowards. That's why He never uses them. He used all kinds of people, including a prostitute named Rahab, a prostitute's son named Jephte, shepherds, fishermen and polititians -- but never coward people. And why? Because to conquer the Kingdom of God, you need to be a valiant person and have courage and determination to go all the way. The kind of attitude that goes against the spirit of a loser.

Doubting?

"...for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." James 1.6


The waves of the sea are always coming and going. They're inconsistent. Do you know who promotes doubts? The devil. Do you know who accepts them? Those who are like the waves of the sea.


Those who resist doubts also resist the devil and hell.

My Spirit

"For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring..." Isaiah 44:3

Besides coming through to those who are thirsty to know Him, the Lord Jesus also promises to fill them with His Spirit and extend this Blessing to everyone in the family.

Perseverance or Stubborness

"His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."
Mathew 25.21

Stubborn people insist on doing their own will but those who persevere keep on doing the will of their Lord. Stubborn people serve themselves but those who persevere obey their Lord. The question then is, who have you served?

I'll be with you

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." Isaiah 43: 2

Only when you have a clean conscience can you have the assurance of God's promises for your life. It's amazing to know we're never alone, that our Lord and Savior will forever keep and protect us.

Oh!

“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries." Psalm 81:13,14
God's will is that His people are free from their enemies, that He may have fed them also with the finest of wheat and with honey from the rock satisfy you (v. 16) But in order to listen and obey Him, you need to sacrifice. Sacrifice your flesh.

Mighty and Valiant

"The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies." Isaiah 42:13

If my Father and Lord is a Man of war, then this inheritance has also been passed unto me. Thus the reason for His pouring of His Spirit on me, so that I can be an overcomer.
