Still Suffering?

“Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints.” Isaiah 1:5

People suffer for not listening to God’s voice. The lack of direction and vision cause the heart to be sick and unhappy.

With my whole heart

“Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” Psalm 119:34

Whoever decides to seek the Spirit of God and surrender himself to Him unconditionally, it’s because to him it’s been revealed the Greatness and Majesty of God.

Root of bitterness

“looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;” Hebrews 12:15

The person contaminated by grudges becomes hostage to hell. Besides losing the Grace of God, he can also contaminate many others to divert from the Way. …it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6

Scent of waters

“Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant.” Job 14:8-9

If the despised and rejected reach rock bottom and remember the Lord and seek Him with all his heart, he will surely come to tranquil Waters of rest and his life will blossom and bear much fruit.

Evil root

“…lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled…” Hebrews 12:15

Every evil has a root. The cure depends on it being found out. What evil has been in your life? Discover your root and destroy it immediately.

Celebration and Mourning in Heaven

“…for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.” Luke 15:24

If on one hand there is celebration in Heaven for ONE lost that is found, on the other hand, there is mourning by many who are lost. Which is more IMPORTANT to our Savior: to find one who is lost or the praise of all the other children who are already saved?

The selfishness in the churches has given open space for the devil to work with emotional doctrines.

Awaken you who are saved! Awaken to save those who are sleeping the sleep of death.

Renewal

“In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious; and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing for those of Israel who have escaped.” Isaiah 4:2

It’s time for renewal. The Holy Spirit searches for people who think and who are ready to serve Him with all their strength. People ready to give up their dreams to realize His. Who will go for Us, says the Lord?

Come

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11.28

It’s not enough to know that He gives rest to the heavy laden, or to know that he is Living and Powerful to do anything. More is needed…

It’s necessary to put in practice such knowledge, act on this belief and seek Him with all your strength, all your mind and all your heart.

This is what COME TO HIM means.

The outward Man

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4.16

The perishing of the outward man cannot suffocate the inward one. When faith is rational, it seeks resources in the Word of God to overcome the weaknesses of the outward man. Sincere confession, repentance, rejection of the past, firmness in the Divine promises, well, there is a long list of the resources of faith that destroy the weaknesses of the outward man.

However, if faith is emotional, it will try to FEEL something in order to recover. In this case, it will continue to be down.

To those who yearn

“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise, says the LORD; I will set him in the safety for which he yearns. Psalm 12:5

The oppression of the poor and the sighing of the needy have always called God’s attention. However He can only come to their rescue when they call upon Him. Salvation is for those who consider themselves lost. To these, the Lord promises deliverance NOW.

This I know

“When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me.” Psalm 56:9

What makes the difference in the Christian life is that some KNOW, while others FEEL. David KNEW that the day he cried out to God, his enemies would turn back. Paul KNEW in WHOM he believed…

Unfortunately, the majority prefers to live based on what they FEEL or don’t feel.

Who’s right?

“Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the LORD.” Lamentations 3:40

When we see ourselves in situations where the heart wants to DICTATE what we should do, we need to resist and rebuke it. Appeal to our reason; go with our reason, for intelligent faith proceeds from reason, which is the channel to access the Throne of God.

Troubled Soul

"See, O LORD, that I am in distress; my soul is troubled; my heart is overturned within me, for I have been very rebellious." Lamentations 1:20

There’s no way around it! Whatever a man sows, he shall reap. So how do you change the current painful situation sown in the past? By sacrificing. The only way is to unconditionally surrender your life to the Holy Spirit and walk away from sin once and for all.

There’s still time

“And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.” Revelation 2:21

The voice of the Holy Spirit calls to repentance those who are living in sin.

There’s still time to start over.

Repentance is not a feeling. It’s an attitude, it’s a decision, it’s courage to turn from sin once and for all and return to the practice of faith. Each person is convicted by the Holy Spirit if he is living or not in sin.

Rescued

"Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; incline Your ear to me, and save me." Psalm 71:2

Not all afflicted are humble in spirit. But when they manifest their dependence on the Lord Jesus, their cry reach the Throne of the Most High and there is salvation. The justice of the Lord, sooner or later will be manifested in the life of those who call upon Him in sincerity.

Free from wickedness

"Wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?" Jeremiah 4:14

The impurity of the heart leaves the soul in darkness. Sin kills little by little. But when it's is rejected once and for all, the thoughts become like the thoughts of God and enlightens a person to have life.

Emotions

"…I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day." 2 Timothy 1.12

The apostle Paul DID NOT SAY: I feel whom I have believed… Because whoever lives by what they feel will never experience the benefits of faith. Faith is assurance, conviction, firmness and definition. It has nothing to do with feelings and emotions.

Last days

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons…" I Timothy 4.1

As in the example of Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit also warns that in the last days, due to obeying the antiholy spirits and their demonic doctrines, some will abandon the pure and simple faith. Hence the reason many spin like spinning tops and are thrown to the ground in a violent manner. The exterior of their lives show the hell that goes on inside them.

Whose Servant?

"Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?" Romans 6:16

There are two masters in this world: of life and of death. The life of each individual reflects the Lord they serve.

The devil gives his servants a life of suffering and pain. The Lord Jesus however, gives His servants a life of abundance.

Therefore, the quality of one's life depends on the lord he serves.

Covenant with God

"But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Jeremiah 31.33

It's important to note in the covenant of the Lord with His people, that He puts His law first in their minds and then in their hearts. This has been the main reason why many Christians are failures, not only in their secular life, but much more in their spiritual life. They put the heart in the place of the mind: they live by what they feel or don't feel…

Faith is rational, intelligent. It has nothing to do with emotions.

Exhort

"Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict." Titus 1:9

In the assurance of the Faithful Word and in the full knowledge of the rights granted by the Father, let us help and guide those who are in doubt and stand opposed to the intelligent faith.

In the synagogue

"Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, saying, Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God! But Jesus rebuked him, saying, be quiet, and come out of him! And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him." Luke 4:33-35

This man was in the synagogue and fell to the ground because he had a deceiving spirit. Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and the demon that was in him came out and the man was set free. The Spirit of God lifts the person up and makes him happy. The antiHoly Spirit makes the person fall, be oppressed and ashamed.

Lamp

"The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart." Proverbs 20:27

God knows when the lamp of the man is off, for the light of His counsel is not in his thoughts.

Open Mind

"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." Romans12:2

In other words the Holy Spirit warns us that we must not reconcile our faith with the fashion of this world. The character of God must be manifested in us. This manifests the resurrection of our Lord and glorifies Him in us.

The renewal of our mind means developing the faith to know and execute the will of God.

The tongue

“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.” James 3.6

To play with the tongue is to play with fire. The good or evil that it speaks actually happens. You need to have the mind of the Lord Jesus not to speak foolish and poisonous things. The power of the tongue is so great that the Holy Spirit teaches us that if anyone wants to love their life and see happy days, they must control their tongue not to speak evil things, especially of people.

First Sign

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” I Timothy 4:1 

The Holy Spirit says that some will leave their faith to obey deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. But more than that, we need to consider those who leave Jesus because of their family, boyfriend, marriage, money, fornication, adultery, glory and pleasures of the world.

This is the first big sign of the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pillar in the temple

“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:12

The FAITHFUL tither has been the PILLAR of the work of God on Earth, not only in tithes but especially in faith, they will be the ones who will overcome and be the PILLARS in the temple of God in the New Jerusalem.

Who overcomes?

“Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:5

Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God. But that same majority has been demon possessed. Why? Could the Word be wrong? No! The problem is that they “believe” in theory, but not in practice. Hence the spiritual failure. They say they believe, but they don’t practice the Word. That’s why they are losers here on Earth. Now imagine in eternity…

Deceiver

"But cursed be the deceiver…" Malachi 1:14

The astuteness of the deceiver makes him successful because of the antichrist spirit that dwells in him. The only way to identify and protect one’s faith from him is to be filled with the Spirit of God. Only the Holy Spirit can guide us to all truth and protect us from the wiles of the deceiver. God’s Seal is not an Christian option but a necessity to maintain one’s salvation.

Therefore, dear reader, take care not to get yourself involved with the disciples of the antichrist and thus put your soul at risk.

Strengthened with might

_"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

When a person is possessed with the Holy Spirit, he has enough power to overcome each and every difficult situation. And even is the situation is very complicated, it will ultimately be for something glorious, because God does not allow anything to happen to us without it benefiting us in the end.
