The spirit of faith is in our words

“Since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak” 2 Corinthians 4:13

Scripture says, “The spirit of faith is in our words.” My question today is, “What’s coming out of your mouth?” Are you talking about how big your problems are, or are you talking about how big your God is?

As believers, our attitude should always be an attitude of praise — “Father, business may be slow, but I want to thank You that You’re supplying all of my needs.” “My circumstance may seem impossible, but thank You, God, that all things are possible with You!” We should always find a reason to give thanks!
This is what Jonah did. After complaining for eight verses, he had a change of heart in verse nine. He said, “God, in spite of my difficulties, I’m going to offer unto You the sacrifice of praise with a voice of thanksgiving.” While sitting in the belly of the whale, instead of complaining, he began to worship. The next verse says that the whale spit him out onto dry ground, and he went on to fulfill his destiny.
If you feel like you’re in the belly of a whale, if you feel trapped, if things seem dark, remember, praise always precedes the victory! Open your mouth and declare His praises! Say what the Word says and watch the breakthrough come to pass!

The Long Way

 

Exodus 13:17-19

  When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.

When we give our lives to Jesus, we have to believe that He is guiding and protecting us all the time. here, even people were ready to battle, God guide them afar from war and what it means to us? - Some times God guide us to the longer way to protect us. He knows us and knows our limit. we until think that we are ready but God knows, so, if  you think that what you want is taking a long time to find, remember maybe God is guiding you in the long way to protect you! He always loves us and have the best! 

2 Peter 2:9

 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

Be Blessed,

"Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his, surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God"

                                                                  

World versus God

World versus God, an eternal conflict! Why? Well,  people are bad and some times is hard to them understand that all that God wants is heal, help and love us. Follow me in this case:

Genesis 19:12-14 12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here? Get them out of here, because we are going to destroy this place. So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

The sin of a whole city for many year cry out to God's ears. God is merciful but when He says NO more, it means no more and it was what happen here. God sent His serves to decree His will and destroy these 2 cities ( know more bout God's merciful in Genesis 18:16-33 ).
Inside the city had a man of God and through him God said would save many people, all those who just come with him. So Lot went to call his people... ' hey folk, come with me because god will destroy the city! AND what happen? People run and follow Lot??? NO, they laugh and thought Lot was joking! SOME SIMILARITY WITH OUR DAYS???  

 Yes, in our days is the same. We say, shout, claim and what people say? LoL you folks just speak abut this. Some of them say: you are ignorant, science says other things open your minds! Yes and with things like that many people are just going to their end!

 We say God sent His own SON JESUS to forgive sin of all those who believe and a day He will come back to carry with Him those who live in this earth in according with His direction!
Well the end of this is: ... " ⁴ Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. ²⁵ Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—" Genesis 19

From now like that time, God speaks LOUD and say: Go off from prostitution, lie, envy, idolatry, and things like that and come to me because I have seen these sins and it will not be without punishment! 

John 3:16
 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Believe, give your hear to Him and be free. Jesus loves YOU.
see you folks =)

Words of the lasts days

      Many things that I am thinking yet about what to post. I like talk about God has talking with me and my church,  just somethings that I have reading and seeing at facebook and some blogs have taken my breath away! I never understand why Christians use their spaces on internet to fight and say against other Christians! I am not sure about others countries but here in Brazil believers has attacking believer, woow!  Maybe it is about called. I have mine and it is spread the Gospel, it is what I will do now. I just ask if you have to fight, lets together fight against darkness, ok?! =)      We start again our yearly bible read and is great how God speaks with us every single time we stop to read His words. I great see how God create everything and did everything right.
Some nice things in Genesis, lets together to a brief:
1 - God create things and after it, He SEPARATE. (Genesis 1) Yes separation is something that God do to show His will and what he approve. Paul the apostle some times said: "1 Corinthians 11:19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval." So next time do not be shocked with some separations, it comes from God to show 'who are who'. ( hope this expression make sense in English too lol)
2 - Genesis 1:11-20 In the creation's process God says a word and things just come to existence. Other times He send a word of order. He start and says now it is up to you. Important in our lives is to discern God's word, sometimes He says and it is done, but sometimes He gave a word to star and we have to work in the process. Do not murmur or complain against God, learn to listen to Him and understand what He said to YOU.

3 - Genesis 2:23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh... Genesis 3:12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me.
I love bible!! how changes so fast?! How someone that is 'flesh of my flesh' few time after become the woman YOU PUT HERE!!! Did you see some similarity? Sometimes we do that. We say wow it is great, I love and things like that... time pass and we say: why YOU does that God?! yes dear believer, after sin things change, nothing more is like before. Sin changes everything, what is beautiful become ugly, what is pleasant become bitter and what is blessing become curse. Advice? think two times before listen to devil one.
4 - Genesis 3 the devil one always will try show you what you don't have to see. He always is in the middle of the God's people trying to say that God is not good or that God has hiding good things from us, pay attention. DO NOT LISTEN THE SERPENT. People that walk around you always trying to show what you are nothing looking for and trying say God said but it is not like that.. forget, abandon these kind of people before you sin!

5 - Genesis 3:17:19 - To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life. 8 It will produce thorns and thistles for y ou,
some of our deeds brings us thorns and thistles! be careful about your chooses!
Well, it is all for today, I will be back soon. Hope these words can help and guide you in a blessed way!
lots of love in Jesus

Word of the day - Listen to

"And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear... Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.”


Sometimes God send one word and everything happen, other times, He send a order and we have to produce with His direction. We have to learn to discern what God has talking and listen to His voice to not lay down in time of war and fight in time of rest. 
Learn listen to God.
God I pray today that By YOUR Holy Spirit, help us to discern Your voice because when we act outside of the time we get many bad consequences, help us listen to You, in Jesus Name.

Hope in the dark

       Genesis 1:1-3

 ¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.³ And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

          What is great in this statement is: doesn't matter how terrible, formless or never-racking be your life, plans or dreams, IF you are with God and the Holy spirit are in your life, there is hope.

          We are starting a new year and my word to you is: lift up your face. Look to God and shout to Him. When God send a single word everything become LIGHT.
          

 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

My prayer for you today is: Dear Jesus, You know everything about us. You know our weakness, strength and that some times our behavior brings us darkness but what I claim to YOU today is, send us YOUR word and for your mercy send us light to put things in the right place.
Pray in Jesus name, amen.
