when we read Genesis 22 we can think so many things but I will leave a question... what have been your choose?!
Jesussaid: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’ And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Back from our prayer meeting right now. Talked about Luke 18:1-8 to remember us that all that we ask in prayer God will give us, BUT will Jesus find faith at our hearts when He comes to us? Day after day we rise prayer into the God's Throne and sometimes the answer takes more time to back to us than we wanted it could to be. In this time of wait, lots of people give up their faith and lose all things, mainly their salvation.
Dear beloved, God knows the perfect time of all things and even in our own eyes seems nothing are happening, be sure, God NEVER LATE NOR FAIL, His time is perfect and all blessings when comes from Him doesn't brings pain or cry!
Saul in 1Samuel 13 was precipitated and did what wasn't allowed to do. His action brings many pain and after it, Saul lost his kingdom.I have hearing people say: “I have to do something because i have no one in my favor, if I do nothing, nothing will happen, who is for me? And with this kind of thought, people have been doing things before God do, making confusion, pain and cry.
Dear, wait to God sends you your blessings, He will does in the best time.
Keep your faith, never give up because what God said he will do.
Pray and stay strong in faith because your answer you will get BUT, Jesus Said.... Will I find faith in the earth?
Hope God find our hearts waiting His promises, like Abraham "was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness"
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:18-22
Although, as humans we are gifted capacity of take decision, in practice is another thing. Some times take decision implies in nuisances and risks.
When decision is good done, the reward brings realization and satisfaction, unlike is a sliding in dissatisfaction, blame, trauma and distress that around our being.
a mature christian decision, takes some conditions:
1 - Disposition to renounce
To wish something, means give up of other things. Sleep means give up of keep awake and enjoy a time with someone else like get marriage means give up of the single life where we can go wherever we want an any time. To decide for something means give up to a reality that can seem good and pleasant.
All decision implies in gains and losses.
Unfortunately, our society and communication ways have created a happiness conceit where happy is who doesn't repress yourself. this myth induces a belief that mature people never renounces, don't respect rule or restrictions and do everything that feel. They say: Be yourself like you are, follow yours feelings
Bible shows several times man being challenged to take decisions and it shows us that in our life chose is a important part. We can't do all that come upon our mind. In a christian saying: Renounces means how much we take God to heart!
2 - Vision of a preference:
To choose means opt to something in middle to other options. Renounces is the answer that we believe in the superiority of the choose.
Choose has to be taken by preference, not by exclusions, it need be " I want to obey, not I can't sin".
When we did a choose, don't means that what was left will disappear. Choose just means what are my values, and where they have been taken what will means where we are going.
Choose don't means to repress or ignore the left option. To choose is to assess, and rationally delete or become ineffective the feeling, wills and things of another decision.
3 - Be Aware that the future will be affected by your decision
If people thinking before, would be free from lots tragic events that come from impulsive or stubborn decisions like
use of the drugs
alcohol
smoking
yoked with unbelievers
buy what can't
sex out of marriage
marriage without know well one another
Luck 14:28-30 - Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
So take breath, count until 10 and don't be impulsive!
4 – The last Word have to be of the Holy Spirit
Consult all of your faculties ( memory, ability , ratiocination) but let the last word comes from God. Never trust in you alone.
Just the Holy Spirit can guide us in the right way for He knows everything, He can potentiate the natural, and we will be able to see, do and understand what no one can.
Some benefices of the good decision
> ability of perseverance
> ability to renounce the immediate satisfaction of the necessities
> most ability to support tense situations until reach your goal
> ability to do hard tasks
> we become, changes agent of the world
> we have no emotion like only criterion
The bad decisions:
> always require security and decreased risk
> are emotional
> minimum cost, and require lot gain
Well, after these things we just need think a little and take the right way, even that it have some cost, it will produces good fruit.
WEll, after a long time I'm here again. I know that in these time of the year, to be exact some weeks ago people did lots of promises in the presence of the Lord. Another done lots mystical thing to brings peace, happiness and money! lol We know that it is real.
Humans were created to live in the past, present or future?
YES, in the present, but some people spent so much time remembering the past and trying to predict the future that PRESENT this is not actually lived!.
2011, 2012, 2013 etc... in all these, always will be lots of people feeding fake hope before a change of the calendar BUT there are just one thing that can help everybody in anyway.. Is the Word of God. It never changes and n all the time there is just ONE way to be blessed, peaceful happy and prosperous... To accept Jesus as your ONE Savior and Lord.
Now, choose one thing to believe and be sure that He is better than lots of another thing that exist in these world. God is fully able to maintain you and all of your needs. Just believe and give your life to HIM.
For those who yet need know what will happen in the future because fear the way your life is going, I will say:
Top 10 Predictions for 2011
1. The Bible will still have all the answers!!
2. Prayer will still be the most powerful thing on Earth
3. The Holy Spirit will still move.
4. God will still honor the praises of His people.
5. There will still be God-anointed preaching.
6. There will still be singing of praise to God.
7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
8. There will still be room at the Cross.
9. Jesus will still love you.
10. Jesus will still save the lost when they come to Him
Indeed pride, a false perception of the reality and stubborn, are things that cover the denial.
In Matthew 26 Jesus see a hard situation coming and to prepare the disciples’ hearts to bear it.
Peter says not, I will not do that!
In the confront: 1 - Deny
2 - Don’t accept
3 – Do not take any responsibility
4 - Put himself in a position of evidence and call himself innocent
Denial is a common thing in the people's lives. No one wanna to take weakness, fear, limitation, lost and sins in front of nobody.
An ask is: Do Deny do something different?
Do deny changes the inevitable?
Do deny give us spiritual growing or spiritual maturity?
We have spent long time denying. We have spent time denying weakness, sins and laziness when we are confronted about some bad acts that we do. We deny to try protect us BUT, the end is…. Fall.
We deny laziness with the justification of ‘ I have no time’
We deny some carnal acts with the justification of ' everybody sins, who never do that?'
We deny our negligence in the bible's read, time of prayer and evangelism saying: time is short, I can't stay concentrated!
We talk bad about peoples whom shows us our sins, so,
We deny and stop
We deny and fall
We say: No I'm not like that, when indeed we are.
AS Peter we deny, but, you and I know what happened in the end. Peter, as Jesus warned , denied Him. Even Peter said in loud voice: NO MASTER, I WILL NEVER DO THAT.
There are some areas in your life that you are denying?
Deny in a confront killed Peter. When he denied that Jesus was right, it gave him a bad fruit. Just when Peter recognized what had happened and to taken what Jesus said as right, the Holy Spirit could brings to him the real repentance and the real healing, doing him one of most preachers of the history. His first sermon more than 3 thousand people gave their lives to Jesus.
To confess and accept a correction is the right way.
Ecclesiastes is a great book to do us thinks about life! Everybody will have good and bad days. Easy and hard time... we will to love and hate sometimes! As Christian we never can deny that bad days always insist in knock at our doors. Sometimes live is a hard thing. Yes, we are Christian but we stay humans living in a world full of sin and injustice and, early or later these things will touch us. God is good and I know that He will to use until hard things, to do good to us, as bible says "all things are working together for good to those who have love for God".

What to do?! The pressure is around and in all the time.
As the people of Israel, before us we have our past yelling at our ears. It shouts: Come back to me. Come back to drank, enjoy the flesh pleasure, it is easy and you know what to do. In opposite to this, we have an uncertain future, full of doubt, challenges and obstacle to be faced.
To think in come back to the past is easy, we know what to do. There, there are bits of pleasures andjoy, even we cry and suffer, always there are a 'Friday' where everybody can drank and forget for minutes all pain, anguish and uncertain thought that insist in live around us. But the future... what to think about that! As the Israelites, in some moments of our lives all that we can see is the big, insurmountable sea. Sea of difficulties, big dreams hard to find, some things impossible to us
I don't know you but I know that in some part of your life you are, getting the pressure! May be at finances area, sentimental area or health. Whatever it is, everybody, early or later will face 'the pressure'.
Lots of people choose to cede pressure and, after become a Christian, come back to old life because not choose the "Spiritual Intelligence".
Some people are very intelligent in their business, know how to win money but are fool in order to choose what is right to do to get a peacefully life. Those that are spiritual fool choose the easy way, that obvious way. They change eternity for what is earthy. They change serious relationship to five minutes of pleasure.
We had a good service tonight. I talked about 3 bases to be a real Christian, at once that it means not go to church BUT yes, life like such!
Here just a trial >>>
1- Have Jesus as ONE Lord and salvation (2Timothy 2:5) so many people believe in Jesus *and* in lots things! They think “ if it doesn’t be good, bad won't”! how deceived they are. If we believe in Jesus and in another thing, we can be all things except Christian because real believers never accept anything that is showed as good as Jesus!
2- Have a transformed life. People around us need to see in our acts that we are new creatures! No more lie, no more be angry about all and with all. No more believe today and give up tomorrow. AS real Christians, we have to be firm in one way and keep growing in Him. We need to have a transformed character! In these days some friend said me:” I have a friend, he is a good guy, and a believer that goes to church since was a teenager *But* he is a liar!” Yes! You can image my face. I answered: “ok, he until can be a good guy, goes to the church and whatever *but* he is not a Christian! NO because is unacceptable a Christian be liar if bible says that “devil is the lie’s father (John 8:44)” and a Christian MEANS a son of God that never can lie (Titus 1:2)! Lots people think that go to the church, sing gospel songs and talk about bible can make someone a Christian and go to heaven! Oh, such lie it is. Be Christian mean live what bible says, means give up sin, bad things at TV, bad desires, thought and talks and it is a constant in our lives.
Here go some things that can block your growing as Christian:
A – A hard heart – is someone who LISTEN the word but always think that things are not like that! They hear but don’t allows the Word from God go to their hearts and to produce the very resulted B – A emotional heart – yes, is someone who be emotional when hear the Word, agree with it, but when go out, come back to do all the same as before. People that are moved by circumstances and their hearts. Remember what says Jeremiah in Jeremiah 17:9 - heart is deceitful. I we know people that live by heart!
Someone like that, is indifferent and is able to hear and never feel or see the truth. Like here when Philip said to Jesus show them God when Jesus had said: who see me, see God! John14:6-10 C – And divided heart - is some who likes the word of God BUT like all that is secularly too. People like that accept the Word like all that everybody says like been the same thing. D- Do not accept correction. Hebrew 12:5-10 – I KNOW how hard is get a correction and I know that lots people that says be Christian thinks be right all the time and never accept when correct them. We need to remember that God correct Your sons! Do not accept a correction can take you away from Him ways! Think about.
These things just do with you never become a real Christian and never feel what really means: I came to give you abundantly life - John 10:10. They until go to church but can't feel the real love from God, for this, many people give up your faith! We need give up these things above, that do us far from Jesus
2- Word! As Christians we need know that read and study bible is not a chose or a thing to Sunday Morning. Read the bible means hear and TO OBEY the voice of God, the ONE to have peace and real joy. Psalm 119:50-60Joshua 1:8. I know that we learn the bible, what we need to know now is TO OBEY it and all things will be fine.
It is just a brief but we need to think that the Christianity is built over solid bases. Examine these 3 bases written above and see if your life is like a real Christian or you are just some one that goes to church!
The heaven is real and have a holy life washed for the Jesus’ blood is the one way to reach it!
Just to relax...

Worship changes the worshiper into image of the One Worshipped - 2 Cronicles 20
Our life is very fast.
We wake up early and have neither time to open our eyes that our head starts to work thinking in all things that we need to do in this day: house, kids, work, boss, reach more money, bills …
Wow
These things are at our mind 24h/7!
How do I know?
Because when I look to the people I can see in their eyes and face’s expression, fear, anxious discouragement, stress… on other words: they seem what they worship!
NO! You will say me. I worship GOD.
Ok! Then why 3 in 5 words that you say or think these words that I wrote above are involved? Why you shout with your kids and husband/wife?
Why you start things and give up them as fast as you have started?
Why so hard do what you said would do?
BECAUSE we think are worshiping God. We think that sing at church means worship BUT it can be not real!
Worship means believe.
Worship means to obey even that it seems impossible. (2Cronicles 20:17)
The speed that the world runs and its exigencies have taken our time, thought and attention. The human has worshipped the world and its exigencies. They have become faster and without time.
In this run the day to day, whom takes time to stop in the presence of the God to ask AND wait an answer to yours trouble and doubts?
Everybody has hurry!
Everybody wants things to ‘yesterday’ and it is the reason to lots marriage ruined, kids in the drugs and churches full of people and empty of real worshippers.
Our lives and churches, sometimes, have seemed with the world.
WE NEED TO STOP.
We need understand that in the God’s hand is our success. (2Cronicles 20:22)
If, or better, WHEN we understand that our time in the presence of the Lord will does us more successful than hours of work without Him and when we start walk in this path, our lives will become better
PEACE, SECURITY and SUCCESSFUL are things that everyone, in all single place, looking for. Things that can be simple for those who worship Him (2Cronicles 20:20, 20:30)
KEY TO SUCCESS – WORSHIP GOD (2Cronicles 20:22)
Nothing lack for those who do that.
Your answer is not at your own effort only, but is in you worship Him
Change some habits and let me know the result. I pray for you.
Be blessed Talk to me - click here

You won't relentVocê Não Desistira
You won’t relent until you have it all Voce não desistira até ter tudo isso
My heart is yours Meu coração é Teu
I´ll set you as a seal, Upon my heart Vou te colocar como um selo sobre o meu coração
As a seal upon my arms Como um selo sobre o meus braços
For there is love, that is as strong as death Pois este amor é mais forte que a morte
Jealousy demanding as the grave Com zelo exigente como a sepultura
And many waters, cannot quench this love E as muitas águas não poderão apagar esse amor
Chorus: Refrão:
Come be the fire inside of me Venha ser o Fogo dentro de mim
Come be the flame upon my heart Venha ser a chama sobre meu coração
Come be the fire inside of me Venha ser o fogo dentro de mim
Until you and I are one Até que Você e eu sejamos um
I don't wanna talk about you Eu não quero falar de Ti
like you're not in the room Como se não estivesse nesse quarto
I wanna look right at you, wanna sing right to you Quero olhar direto pra Ti, quero cantar pra Ti
On the last Sunday, 05/09 in Brazil and much of the world celebrated Mothers' Day! A very special day to honor those who gave us life and gave us the wisdom we have today.
I honor the mothers, God honor them as much that left in their hands the strong and responsible task of raising children and driving them on the right track. Also it is the mothers' responsibility the stability at home. The original plan was the father come with money, name and profession of the children while the mother would be up all education, creating and maintaining harmony in the home. We know that this is not the reality of most homes today. The lack of placement of man to society and to his home has meant that mothers play all these things!
Today the mother works outside and inside of house. Regardless of the century we are living, the fact is, as women are under our responsibility the harmony and the building of the home. Women (I am, so I have knowingly!) Has a great facility to speak (new one! Lol). This facility would generate in the heart of the children love, respect and reverence to God. Would be to generate faith and men/women of character, to the well being of society. UNFORTUNATELY this is not what we see! I see mothers / women destroying their homes with their own hands / mouth. They reclaim all the time. Criticize their children and spouses. Do not give a word of encouragement, but are always ready to say: I knew! I said that would not work! Mothers who did not encourage faith in their homes, they just curse them because they 'not go to church.
With all respect, and I, being a pastor, I'll say something ... By chance it is for the church to resolve the problems? I'm a pastor. LOVE THE CHURCH. I worry EVERY FAILURE OF A MEMBER IN ONE SERVICE. I PRAY FOR THEM. i PREACH THE WORD OF GOD. I DON'T LIKE WHEN SOMEONE DON'T COMES TO THE SERVICE. But I do not see "go to church" as solving the problems! We have three services a week, each with an average time of 50 minutes ministering of the Word.
Three times per week and 50 minutes with the "word of God” you think it is just enough to change your family? NO - We build people with the Word in worship then, upon returning home: harsh critical, demands, murmuring, depression, incredulous words, television soap opera are the things that take all the time, what fill the days, and you do not go blaming the church for the problems. Beloved reader - The wise woman builds her house. It's in the house that forms the best Christians, the church build and maintain them! Go to church, but continue to worship in their home. Unfortunately many women with their own attitudes have destroyed their homes.
We have a God who can change any situation, but are you the woman 'quarry' of your home. Build your house with wise words, ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE, FOOD WELL DONE AND, SET THE TABLE WITH LOVE AND ZEAL IN DETAIL, they cannot say BUT, for sure, will notice the difference! Give good WORDS TO your CHILDREN, PRAISE SMALL THINGS, create in them a safe personality. Children/youth/adults that are heavily criticized they have a tendency to become unsafe and are bad professionals, parents and so on. PRAY TO YOUR FAMILY WITHOUT STOPPING and never lose hope. Be of good cheer.
WOMEN, build YOUR HOME WITH THE WORD.
Be of good cheer. You are loved by God. He trusts you.
