Your light

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

Matthews 5:16

Our stay here in Israel with the Sisterhood has called the attention of many pedestrians. According to them, there's something different in us. They asked to take pictures with us, they were impressed.

Then we went to have lunch. The restaurant was empty but we attracted new clients. The manager insisted that we return for something in us made her feel good. Obviously, all these people didn't know that it was the perfume of the Holy Spirit in us that made the difference.

It has been extremely rewarding to serve our Heavenly Father with living testimonies of His Son Jesus Christ.

Retribute

"When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die." 

Ezequiel 33.13

Those who believe they're already saved and disregard their faith by living in sin may think that their past works of faith will guarantee their salvation - but they're lost.

We were saved, we are saved, and we will be saved IF we keep our faith away from sin.

"The pains of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow."

Psalms 116.3


The Name of Jesus is an armour against hell. There's nothing that can resist Him and there's no charge in using it. It's needed when you need freedom from afflictions and sorrows.

Afflicted

"He does not preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the oppressed."

Job 36:6


The Lord always hears the cry of the oppressed, and is always ready to defend them and make justice prevail on their behalf.

Prayer and supplication

"Then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause..."

1 Kings 8:49


The cry of the just reaches the Throne of God and the answer is immediate. Nevertheless, many times the devil tries to stop it with doubts. For this reason, it's important to be in the faith.

Faith and intelligence

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."

Galatians 6.7

Would it be God the One to blame for the disasters and ecological calamities? Men destroy forests, build houses in remote places, and take away the balance of mother Earth. What is expected in return?

The same happens to children. Parents suffer to give their children the best education, but they insist in following the evil way. Why would parents be blamed for their children's corrupted lives?

Justice

"Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness."

Genesis 15: 6


Abraham was considered righteous before God because of his practiced belief. Faith without attitude has no value, it requires obedience to the Word of God.
