working for...

Proverbs 21:3 Clean living before God and justice with our neighbors mean far more to God than religious performance. 


How many times do we try to do a lot of good works? We, as people, love to do a lot of things. Why?
Sometimes, when we do things, people notice.
Day by day, people run around doing things, hoping to be seen and noticed by everyone.
Some people do good things like praying in the church and helping the poor.
But, why do we prefer to pray in a public place with our hands high in the air? Everyone can see our outward appearance. Only God can see what's going on inside of us.
Sometimes we hide behind our tasks in order to hide our true feelings, whether they are bad thoughts or bad things that hurt our character.
All the work that we do can be done so everyone can see us. So they can congratulate us. This is good and it makes us feel good but it doesn't glorify God.
How many value your work? Answer indeed… how much for the man? How much to Jesus?
How is you day going?
How are you doing?
How are you doing mentally?
How many people value your work?
ops your day

Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your? Mark 8:36,37 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
If you and me run to the works whose will be seen for the people, maybe will can losing our soul! ”What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? “
We need be seen for God, not for people! We need take care about God’s will no people’s will!

Think about it ... 
Daniel 2 - I am what I am and nothing can change
Daniel and his friends were slaves BUT, their heart belonged to God.
They had their dreams and plans interrupted by the sudden taken of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
Daniel and his friends were children of nobles and became eunuch slaves of a cruel and mundane king (check out in full in Daniel 1 and II Kings 20:18).
The most striking fact here, left in the Bible by God, is that neither such adversity nor external pressure might take away from their hearts what they were - righteous, known the God who creates them. Integrity is not by how much money you have. Daniel and his friends served God with uprightness of heart and integrity within it, nobody can take it away. The point is that while external pressures and struggles are what guide our steps and prayers, they are still in first place in our lives and moving us more than the Word and God's will. This creates unhappiness and frustration and that kind of life is not what God wants for us. We need to have an upright heart and that wants to know the will of God in all situations that we face, remembering that what God sees is the heart. I think our next prayer should be: God changes my heart.
As if all these problems, the mad king still wants the revelation of a dream that not even remember what it is, can it! (Daniel 2:5, 10.11 / / Matthew 19:26). And as there is no one who can resolve this, the king should kill all the wise men that in his view, are useless. (Daniel 2:13). After this decree, we note once again why God has left the life story of this man in the Bible. Daniel did not cry, do not complain, do not grumble and ask why God is doing this to him. Daniel pray. He acts with faith, because he believes that God is bigger than any decree and word of the person, any person.
Many can speaks a lot of things will happen but only what God says, His is the last word! Always remember that.
The problem is that we hear all the voices: the television as unemployment, violence, poverty and evil grows without limit; heard saying that the unbelievers will not change, that misfortune is released and can no longer do anything! We heard several voices in vain, when we should pay attention to the voice of God.
Daniel heard the voice of the world, in the case, a decree of the death from the king BUT he went to friends to help in prayer. Who do you seek when you hear bad news? Proverbs 24:6 for waging war you need guidance, and for victory many advisers. Seek advice from people of faith and pray, because nothing is impossible with God.
I end this message with that advice. Listen to God in the whatever situation, he has the best ever, and the best answer comes from Him. Believe it. Daniel told the dream for the king and gave his interpretation, thus gaining confidence of the king and a place of honor! God has a place of honor for you. Ask Him where you are and where you have to go.
God bless.

Judge

A question that was upped by my friend Darlene made me think and write about this subject: JUDGE

In John 8:3-11 when we see a group of people whom needed forgive and teach the right way to people, doing exactly the opposite : they just judged and condemned her. So, Jesus come and say, I forgive you, go free!
Is sad that our churches, in this century, teach lots about God’s law. Talk so much about new doctrines and is unable to open their arms and embrace ‘the lost’.
What are we doing?
We lost among so many doctrines and class and in seeking of ‘new teachers’ that forgot the essence of Gospel: ‘save the lost’.
We learn, talk, write but forgot what we need to do >>> LOVE one another. We are learning how be part of a church when the God’s will is that we learned how to be a Christian, >>show to the world WHO He is.
One of more beautiful teaching that I can see in the Deuteronomy book is: Israel, never forget from where you came from!!
Wow, amazing. If we did the same, we would be great creatures.
After we know Jesus, we are free from all sin (everybody sinned a day Romans 3:23). The real peace full our heart and we quickly forget who we were. Good side: Devil cannot accuse us. Bad side: some people become intolerants. They forget that were as sinner than anybody and , IF today is free and worth to heaven all this things is JUST by Jesus and His great cross, where all of us had and have pardon of our sins.
But you can tell me. What it have with judge. Well, if we consider who we were and who Jesus made us, we never would judge anyone. If people are ugly, poor, ex prostitute or whatever bad thing you can think, we never would judge them. We just would think: a day I was as sinner than she/he.
We have an habit of think about sin as killer, prostitute, thief and we forget that God say that sin is do unlike His law. I like Revelation 21:8 when say: the murderers and all liars go to the same place! Wow, so God put in the same line the murderer and the liar. It means that if I never take away the life of no one but I lie some day, will I to the same place that a murderer?! Yes.
If the liar never gives their life to Jesus and repentance of their sin, and the murderer yes that, he (murderer after repentance) go to heaven and the liar that not repentance don't go .
People that judge another forgot whom they were before know Jesus. They forgot that ALL sin have a great forgiveness in the cross and forgot that we were put in this world to show for people the right way to heaven and not do put them out of that.
John 3:17 For God sent NOT the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
Then, we need do the same!
All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do unto you, even so do you also unto them – Matthew7:12
We have so much to do: teach the lost the right way, love one another, do well to all people… we have no time do judge no one.
If each of us think that the world would be a better place to live if we do our part, we would have no time do judge or gossip about another.
Be you the change that you wanna to the world

This movie talk about that, worth to watch

laugh yes they laughed

"While he was saying this, a ruler came and knelt before him and said, "My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live...When Jesus entered the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd, he said, The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him. After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up." Matthew 9:18-25

Laughed of Him!

O! So it means that to laugh of a new way to think is an old thing!
Yes, people laugh when see another people thinking different of crowd. They laugh when see someone believing in the impossible. Laugh because for them, hard things just be hard things, and nothing can change it ( sad for them, I know) so, all that they can do is L A U G H.
Ok
For those, I will leave you living your ordinary life.
Now, stay with me those whom wants an extraordinary life…
We read about a died girl that, when Jesus get her home, she come back to life. When He said it, no one believed in Him, and they laughed!
Yes, I know, it is common. When I say, Jesus loves you, or Jesus can brings a new life to you and help you with your misfortunes they laugh, poor!
Weak people laugh because can’t reach this strong unseen power! They live within their own thoughts, philosophy and limitations, and never open their mind to know or touch in the ‘impossible’, then, they laugh.
They laugh when someone try show them a new way to life and laugh is a escape because they don’t know a free life and, just to think in go out from their ordinary lives make them fear, so…they laugh, living a limited unhappy life.
Ok,
I can live hear laughter
I just can’t live without hear the voice of my Savior saying me:
Go daughter, your faith have saved you.
Be courageous, say yes and allow Jesus show that He is able to change all "death in life" because He is The Life and there are no life without HIm

Ditado Popular

Todo mundo já ouviu dizer que em 'boca fechada não entra mosca' e, que 'o peixe morre pela boca', e claro como bons cristão, até o tolo quando se cala é tido por sábio'.

Vocês sabem que nunca posto em português nesse blog, o http://patinanni.spaces.live.com é meu blog em português, mas dessa vez quem vai falar sou eu!

eu seguia vários blog denominados 'cristãos', que diziam ser anunciados da Palavra de Deus. O problema é que muitos blogueiros sentem-se na obrigação de postar algo novo todo dia. O maior problema não é esse, e que, movidos pela 'necessidade', ao invés de pararem e ouvirem a Deus para postar algo, eles ouvem noticiários, revistas de fofoca e o monte de besteira que o mundo fala e tentam encapar essas noticias sem futuro, com a bíblia.

Meus irmãos, será que ninguém nunca leu que certas coisas o 'só referir' é vergonha?

Porque ser movido pela necessidade de postar todo dia quando seria melhor uma postagem com conteúdo bom por mês, que duas por dia que não vai ajudar ninguém a santificar sua vida e ir pro céu.

Parem de usar o canal de benção que é a internet livre em suas mãos, para repassar noticias mundanas ou até preconceituosas ( e nesse caso NÃO estou falando de homossexualismo). Repassem a bíblia, verdades que ajudaram as pessoas a conhecer mais a Deus, a santificar-se porque não será a grande quantidade de informação ‘dos últimos dias’ que vai levar ninguém pro céu, mas a informação bíblica AGREGADA a prática da mesma.

Que sejamos canal de benção e não de mundanismo para as pessoas

Se Deus não falar nada, não postem! Vale a pena obedecer. O mundo já tem milhares do gente sem nada pra fazer pra postar bobeira, vamos postar coisas dignas da leitura de nossos seguidores.

bençãos

What God have you served

EM PORTUGUES - DEFININDO O SER HUMANO - CLIQUE AQUI
What defines you?
Do you feel lost, without your riches?
Does your temper change, in according with you outside appearance?
Would you feel lost without have what you have ( riches , status)?
Would you be able to give up something that you reached, just for work with needy or in a situation that are rejected by society?

Look to whom rejected transform rock in bread!

It is sad, but, people have been built 'what they are' over 'what they have'! They have defined the ‘inside life’ to what have behind their names: Doctor ‘X’, Function ‘Y’ or appearance ‘N’ .
They have changed the eternal reward, like a good character, clean conscience, love and compassion for “at all cost”
People are selling their soul by 30 minutes of fame and applause.
Oh God, big shortage!!!
The human have been so insecure about himself that, for 5 minutes of fame, sell a full good life.
Few are those who are securer about himself , that are able to change their 'status' to help needy or ill people who will not be able to return nothing that you have done!
Some people have tried, at all cost, stay yourself and to prove that are “someone” but, the God that I serve, says:
Whoever wants to save your live, will lose that – Luke 9:24

The God that I serve, says:
Whoever helps a needy, doesn’t let your right hand knows what the left hand does. Matthew 6:3

The God that I serve says:
Pray alone, don’t to be seen for all and your unseen God will reward you. Matthew 6:6

And the God that I serve says:
While people rejected their appearances, stile life, love for needy, patience and resignation, while they were chained, stoned and sawed in two…..
My God said
“Men whom the world was not worth" Hebrew 11:35-40
My God has taught me to be simple.
Just think
What God have you served?
Matthew 6:6-24
