The fake christian

A text worth reading , will be worth your minutes standing here ... (PARA LER EM PORTUGUÊS, CLIQUE AQUI)

 Brothers without the death of the old man on the cross with Christ , there is no deliverance from sin , and sin is not crucified and annihilated, there is no deliverance of the sinner . We need to acknowledge and confess . Christianity is Christ and anything else . Jesus did not come into the world to make us rich , but to make us holy . Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord .
"Christianity " adulterated is the most effective and dangerous instrument of Satan against the Christian church . He looks like the real , the real name is , is the true appearance , but cancel the cross of Christ . For Christ sent me not to baptize , but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, it does not nullify the cross of Christ . 1 Corinthians 1:17 .
The Brazilian people are a people very mystical , so the tragedy of our time is not skepticism , but faith in anything, I believe it happen around the world. People believe in mystical objects even inside the church, to bring 'good look', I stay wondering what it came from! When a man turns from God is not because he does not believe in anything, but he believes in everything. Only one thing is worse than believers who do not believe : " Christians who believe that believe ." But everyone is Flushing in the inability to obey. That is why our society has lost respect for Christian churches because of the inconsistency between what Christ teaches and which people live . And we know that it is through the true church , which is His body, that Christ changed the world . The true church necessarily impacts the world. It is literally impossible the world not to see Jesus Christ when He has a body on earth . And who is the person of Christ within him has no way to hide , because there is a manifestation. Standing up , he departed thence to the land of Tyre and Sidon . Having entered a house, wanted anyone to know , however , could not hide. Mark 7:24 .
True Christianity is based on a person: Christ. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid , which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11 .
Jesus Christ before He became flesh , and be visible to thousands of people , was the Truth was what is , and always will be regardless of any human consensus . We must bear in mind that Christ is the sovereign of the universe , therefore, is not we who determines the facts .

If the Scriptures say that Jesus is sovereign , and we believe that He is , then , no escape : those who do not obey God, is rebellious subject to judgment . They prefer to believe that this is a delusion . Therefore , antagonize the Creator , despising the judgment and the love of God . The danger for the Christian is not the increase in income , but the decrease of the character . The kingdom of heaven is not an elite club . The sky is admitted only by the blood of Jesus. You can not buy a title of the kingdom in the sky , as if purchased in any city . For what the law could not , in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin , and , in effect , condemned sin in the flesh , sin . Romans 8:3 .
Attentive to " Christianity " around, and induces a culture that fosters self-delusion that we are Christians because we adhere to a Christian church and Christian practices . The teaching that faith does not result in character and consequent actions come directly from the Devil . The Deceiver is also the emphasis on " cheap grace " and induction in a reduction of Christ and His work to a utility god . The illusion of being a Christian without obedience to Christ is diabolical . Becoming a Christian involves our whole being . Peter said to Jesus on behalf of the apostles in Matthew 19:27 Then Peter told him : Behold we have left all and followed thee , that is , for us ?
The tragedy of modern humanity is that they completely ignores the true Christianity , and fooled accepting almost any kind of imitation and counterfeit of true faith . Speaking of " Four Spiritual Laws " in " decision for Christ " , or ask people to " accept Jesus " without the inclusion of the sinner, preach the death and resurrection of Christ is false . Without the death of the old man, the man remains a sinner and service to the Devil , filling the churches of unregenerate . Are people who do the worst with the best of intentions . But the pure and true Christianity is Christ , the cross , resurrection and sanctification .
True Christianity is based on a person: Christ. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid , which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11 .
Peace

I wanna be rock star

 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31,32
Many teaching we get in these two verses. I will look in this: "If you hold to my teaching..."
To believe in Jesus is more than to  know about Him. It is more than to know what He is able to do. To trust in Him means  to abandon our beliefs, even when we "believe" they may be came from God.
Many times we were taught about God but few of us look at Bible carefully to know if we were taught right, we use to believe because we use to believe!
When Jesus calls us, He says come and trust in me like I'm, even (and I dare to say, frequently) this believe means to abandon our on view point about Him. How many time we use to question our on faith? We have our faith and we always think be right.
John 7:27 shows us people confused about if Jesus was or not The Messiah, and why? Because a common sense in the time, used to say that when The Messiah come, nobody would know where He would come from and Jesus, even showing great miracles, amazing teachings and uncountable signs, was knowing by everybody, His birth city, parents and family making Him not fulfill 'the common sense'.
what it means, Patricia, you can ask me?
It means, dearest reader,  if we day by day, do not seek God, and obey His word more than religion and common sense, we are going to lost the real Jesus, and what is more important, salvation! Some times, we see Jesus in people that we don't think be "someone of God" and this kind of thought block us to listen God. We use to listen and read "that preachers we like" and few time we dare to question them, we just listen! Jesus said: If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.John 8:31,32. 
To hold His teaching many (many) times, will means be against common sense, religious traditions and culture.
We are near of a big american commemoration, Halloween. Some churches have bringing it into its temples cultivating witches, monsters and many kinds of bad stuff, just because 'it is our culture'. Brazil has many similar things, what people call folklore and I call blindness.
But, what matter is, that we have to be free and this freedom only come from obey Jesus and His word. To keep our salvation we have to stay living Matthew 5. Loving those who persecute us. Forgiving those who hurt us. Helping the needy.

I have  seen the church of 21 century. This is the most rich church of all time, and to our shame and sadness, the 21 century church is that has less impact and influence in the society. How is it possible? Maybe it is possible because people and leaders of this church, look for become similar to the world. Our clothes, life style, language, and habits in almost nothing differs of the world. We have the same desires, we have the same plans, we look for our own will, we look for be known by our greatness, our diploma in big universities. The 'dream' of big part of people that are called christian, is the same dream of those who aren't.
It is rare listen young from our churches say that to dream in become missionary, pastor our be known for forgive, love and live like Jesus. They want to be celebrity! If be pastor, they want be at TV, our to be a "gospel rock' star".  Resigns, altruism aren't words of our vocabulary!
Church, we have to wake up. We have to come back to Jesus life style. More of Him and less (too much less) of us.
To be a real christian, we need fast, turn away. We have to review our concepts before it guides us to too far that will be impossible to come back.
Come back church, come back!

When You’re in Deep

“They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep”  (Psalm 107:24, NIV)

The scripture says is Psalm 107:23, “They that go down to the sea and do business in deep waters, they will see the wonders of God.” Friend, you and I were created to do business in deep waters. In other words, we’re not supposed to have little dreams or little plans. We are supposed to have big dreams. We are supposed to go out into the deep things God has for us.

But understand, when you’re out there in the deep waters, you can’t touch the ground. You can’t see the shoreline, and at times, it can get a little rocky. You may not always see how things are going to work out. But, the scripture tells us that deep calls to deep. In other words, God is the one who has called you to the deep waters. He is with you, and He knows there are deep things on the inside of you. Remember, in deep waters, you are not alone. God is with you, and He’s causing those deep things inside of you to come forth.

If you feel like you are out in the deep today, if you feel like you are overwhelmed, remember, you are in the right place and God is with you. You will see His wonderful deeds in the deep, and you will fulfill the plan He has in store for you.

Let´s say together: Father in heaven, I surrender every area of my life to You. I hunger for every single thing You have in store for me. I choose to trust You out in the deep waters knowing that You have good things in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Do not abandon your hope, Yes He know

God Knows You Intimately..... Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Every day, your hair drops. Yet, God knows how many hairs are left on your head. And He also knows how many are growing back! He knows because He bothers to count them again. When it comes to you, He always has time for every little thing about you.
So when Jesus said, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered,” He was not exaggerating. He never exaggerates. He means what He says and He says what He means. So for the Lord to say that the very hairs of your head are all numbered means that He wants you to know that He is very interested in you and has intimate knowledge about you — your body, family, finances, relationships… everything in your life!
He knows the pain you have been having in your body. He is aware of the financial worry which you have been keeping from your family. He sees how your nasty boss is treating you. He understands the hurts you have been keeping in your heart. He hears your heart’s cry for a miracle baby.
Your heavenly Father wants you to know that as long as something concerns you, He does not overlook it.
God knows you intimately. He knows every small problem you are worried about and every single burden you have. And when you approach Him for help, He has all the time for you as if no one else exists. That is how valuable you are to Him and how absorbed He is in you!

Ecclesiastes 8:12 Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time , I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

Help is on the Way

“...With us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.”(2 Chronicles 32:8, NKJV)



I’ve learned that when the enemy attacks, God reacts. God doesn’t just sit back and think, “Well, I wonder what’s going to happen. I wonder what they’re going to do.” No, God goes to work. You are His most prized possession. It says in Psalms, “God is close to those that are hurting. God is close to the broken hearted.” God knows when you’ve gotten a bad medical report. He knows when you’re struggling in your finances. He knows when you’re being mistreated. You may not see anything happening, but you can be assured that Almighty God is not only aware, He is at work. He already has the solution. If you will stay in faith, at the right time, He will release a flood of His power, a flood of healing, a flood of restoration. He will not only bring you out, He will bring you out better off than you were before!

Pray with me...
Father, thank You for being my help. I know that You are with me even in the hard times; even when I can’t see a way out. I trust that You are working behind the scenes in my life and will bring me through to victory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

 The Pruning Process

“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful”
(John 15:2, NIV)

In life, we all go through a pruning process. God will prune our lives so that we can bear much fruit. To “prune” means something is cut away, something is removed. In other words, maybe a good friend that you counted on moved to another city.   Maybe a business shut down that you were connected to, or

a relationship went a different direction.

Friend, God knows what you need in your life in order to grow and flourish. Sometimes when things happen that we don’t understand, we have to just trust that He is working behind the scenes preparing you for increase, preparing you to go to another level. Don’t put a question mark where God has placed a period.

When you’re going through transition, don’t get bitter. Don’t get down and think it’s the end. Don’t start thinking that you’re a failure. Have the attitude, “God, I let this go knowing that it was only temporary provision, and what You have in my future will be greater than what I’m letting go of.” If you will accept the change and stay in faith, God will open new doors. He will bring new opportunities, new friendships, and take you to another level of His glory!

know God

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but my people doth not know, my people doth not consider.

To me, it’s one of sadder bible verses! God say that until a donkey know his owner, but His people don’t know His voice!
WOooOW
Can you remember how many times God gave you a safer! How many times He answered your will, before you ask!
Psalm 105:5,27 says : REMEMBER the wonders He has done!...His wonders in the land of Ham. For me, our problem is that we have a lack memory. In our hard time, we clam to Jesus but, so fast is His salvation, is our capacity to forget His help and our misery before He in our lifes!
why?
Why we do it?
Could be because we are selfish? Could be because in all most, all the time, we just think in ourselves and UNTIl when we call to God, it's just to our own safe? So, when all things are well again, we "just forget" to seek God !
BUt thanks God for you mercy and grace Psalm 107:6,13,19 and 28 say: All the time that you call me..I answered you! YEAH - God never will pay us wiht our money! He love us.. always.

Remember what God has done! Follow Him. His paths always will guide us to good things, peace and rest!
Psalm 107:17 Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted and suffered. All of our suffered, comes from our will
Jesus said that If we follow Him, we will find the light to life. Answer for our ask...rest for our soul!
NEVER FORGET WHAT GOS HAS DONE TO YOU

why people suffer?!

Human Suffering!

I guess that it is the more ask that are been doing in all humanity and , I have no intention to answer it. Nor all the word in the world neither all philosophy, could explains. Everybody have a good thing to say about this theme, and I would be just more one. I have no intention to be more one among!
So, I'm here talking about suffering and do not wanted be more one!
But I need say something because I feel it and maybe you never would read written by another people, or all things already wrote never arrived in your hand. Whatever be the reason, I'm here writing and you are reading.
I will write just for you, who believes in God and knows that He knows all that is good for your life.And thou shalt remember all the way which God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or not… and fed thee with manna, …that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by everything that proceedeth out of the mouth of God… And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee. Deuteronomy 8:2-11

How are you doing with your life?
Are you doing all of your wills?
Are you happy for this?
Living a life without someone saying for you what to do, how say or not say something, wow! I need to confesses, such life sounds good, but … everyone who wanna more than live to eat and sleep known that such stuff is a step to fiasco!
A life without ruler is not a good live. May be comfortable, but it will guide us to frustration. It can be one of the reasons of the alot of people live frustrated!
If you wanna more than eat and sleep, it is the time to wake up and do a check up in your life.
How long you to obey someone who aren´t yourself?
How long you said yes, I need it, when someone calls your attention.
Your sincere answers will show how and why you are where you are.
When we live ours life for God, if He is our father, be right, He will not let us going wrong! Even that for to do it, our "I" can hurt, He will take us and put us in the right path!
All the time that, for protect our I (wills, desires, reputation), we broken His Law, be right, He will get us for Him again. But, in this process, you could say no! Yes, you and me have the power to say no to the Strength God! So, we need be ready to get all consequences that it may bring.

And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him; For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones... for what son does not have punishment from his father? But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame Hebrew 12:3-11

Why people suffer? Maybe some good people are walking toward a bad path and God, as a good shepherd, be trying put they in a good place and they are resisting.

Some sufferings are a correction of God. Sometimes stuff happens for we know our own heart, If all that we say is real for us or they are just beautiful words, thrown to everybody. How we can know if we are believer or listeners?
Through some hard thing in our lives!
Are you ready to get know yourself?

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes. Psalm 119:

Why people suffer?
The answer are in his own lives. In his own path, in his own choose! Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment:Ec 8:5
Hey friend! Are you discerning the time in your life or you just get gather with a lot people that think that
was born to eat and sleep and everyone and everything those try change it, are enemies and need be destroyed!
Are you just weeping and murmuring your luck or your are reading your life, seeking all mistakes to never more get it again.
You are more one of the "good people' that suffer or you are the lead of your life. Learning with the life and walking to reach all of your dreams.
Don't stop. Learn and keep the path.

From here, all things are with you!

camp vacation 2009

Hello!

Of days 20 to 22, Julho/2209 were doing our second camp Vacation! Thanks God it was a wonderful time where we learn more of God, sanctify our lives and share about the love of the Lord. In all the time be clean your clothes, and never miss the oil on your head. ECL 9:8 - This was the basic text for whole camp. As Christians we can not comply with the good, much less with "being better than most! We need to be totally saints if we want to find salvation of the Lord. Without sanctification nobody will see the Lord! (Heb 12:14) We easily forget an important piece of the Word of God! It is important to remember ... Good work, social activities, frequency of worship and reading the Bible make paste of the life of every Christian, but we can never forget that salvation is the sanctification given by God through the cross of Jesus! We remembered to run to cross, confess ours sins and change of attitude. James 1:22-28 says that the abiding and not hearers of the Word will be saved. Yeah, after three days of services the morning and late evening, we were reminded that we will not leave this holy retreat UNLESS there is repentance in our hearts and in our actions TRANSFORMATION! Young people were reminded to sanctify everything they hear on your mp3 and mp4. were reminded that orkut (facebook) and all kind of Internet access has to be holy as they are in church, or indecent photos and comments have to be torn. Be holy in all body, soul and spirit (I Ts 5:23) That means that the hands, mind and mouth should not touch something that Jesus does not play! It was a time of many words and exhortation, and by the grace of God, we had the anointing of the Spirit that led us to have regrets and reconciliations. All time is Jesus praises! We hope you enjoy the pictures and is free to comment and share, too, until our next event .. Blessings, Community Connection See photos - click here

Said God..who I send?

... come with us in 'Project Impact'!
As Christians and citizens we can not remain inert in the injustices that occur there.
Day after day the disregard for the needy enough to harden the hearts of the most sentimental.
There is so poor, misery and death to see that there kids signals, abuse and without having the whole family to eat, we think that is the end of the world! But it is not. Not to us that we have the Holy Spirit into of us.
We were put in this world not only to survive but to cause difference. The dimension the impact depends on the size of our faith and daring.
So brother, what the size of your faith?

Charity & Itatira both cities are poor, located in the central hinterland of Ceará. The drought and lack of infrastructure contribute annually to the rates of infant mortality, forced labor for children and families exodus increase considerably.
This year the target is the connection to collect 2 tons of food, and clothes and toys to be donated to these families. In addition of course, the Salvation word will say for all these people!
This program was started in year 2008. This year you are our invited.
