Answer

"I will climb to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how He will answer my complaint." Habakkuk 2:1


Depositing all of our trust in our Fortress - which is the Lord Jesus; on guard, so that neither doubt nor a word will distinguish it.

Faith: the channel that leads us to God.

When we act it then the Holy Spirit will guide us and give us the answer to our prayers.

The Cloud

"Therefore, seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses around us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1

What we saw on Wednesday, throughout Brazil, was a great cloud of testimonies from people who believe in the Living God. For so many others, it was an opportunity to find relief and peace for the soul.

Therefore, we accept the proposal of our Lord Jesus: to enjoy a better life in His presence; both today and forever.

Believe or Run Away

Therefore, thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed; he who believes in it will not be disturbed." Isaiah 28:16

When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, and he obeyed, the way to please Him was revealed to the world. It isn't enough to know the Word or His will only. We must act the faith that has been entrusted to us. When we trust in Him and allow Him to direct our lives, we manifest an intelligent faith. Abraham put his feelings aside - he didn't run - he acted his faith.

Faith and Action

The times are bad; everyone is facing difficulties. However, God expects each person to live by exercising the faith that they have received. Faith is action. Those who act, conquer; but those who don't act, don't conquer.

"Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7

A Good Conscience

"...keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith." 1 Timothy 1:19

Many have overlooked a good conscience; however, without it, it is impossible to maintain the Christian faith. The bad examples of ex Christians who have failed are evident everywhere. There are so many because they neglected to have a good conscience. The Apostle Paul faced this problem in his ministry: people who once lived by faith but due to their lack of care for their good conscience, they eventually lost their faith.

The victory doesn't belong to those who start in the faith but rather they that stay until the end. The devil works hard to damage the faith of those who are sincere, so it is our duty to defend it using the weapons available to us through the Word of God.

The Lips and The Heart

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer." Psalm 19:14

Sweeter

"They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb." Psalm 19:10

The human being has a void. He is missing something unknown. All of his dissatisfaction is in fact a hunger and a thirst for God. It's a hunger in his spirit but he doesn't know it. When the Word of God is revealed to him, he finds an inexhaustible treasure that grants him access to an infinite God. From that moment his heart rests in total reliance on Divine thoughts.

The Law of God restores the soul and gives joy to the spirit; it is for this reason that His teachings are sweeter than honey.
