But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.” Acts 23.11

In order to be able to preach the gospel, we must fight only with the weapons of righteousness; otherwise those who are lost will never have the chance to hear the message of salvation. We must not allow the devil to make us angry, otherwise we will act against God’s plan. So never pray for the death of those who resist the preaching of the Truth, for example, because the Lord wants everyone to have full knowledge of his will.

The Almighty God does not need us to resort to trickeries or questionable means to lead those who are lost to salvation; so, if we use such things, our work will be in vain. The means God has given us are recorded in the Scriptures. People who claim to be doing God’s work but act in a way that goes against the Bible are wasting their time and are not covered by his protection.

We are authorized to take only life, and never death. If anyone’s work is carried out through dishonest means, injustice or iniquity, he will have hindered God’s work, allowing himself to be deceived by the spirit that raises people against the Message of Salvation. The gospel will never grow through the use of unauthorized fire. Those whose teachings are contrary to the biblical doctrine do not see and will never see the Lord.

When carrying out his work, our Father will not destroy the lives of those who oppose themselves to the Truth; otherwise, he would be announcing that he has changed, which will never happen (Hebrews 13.8). Only love can overcome hate, only truth will overcome lie, and only light will conquer darkness. The way that God acts will never be similar to the way the devil acts. The truth is that it will be necessary that many people lose their lives so that others are saved.

We must always seize the opportunities that arise; but, at the same time, in face of any persecution, we must stay calm and not miss the right moment to bring Light to the hearts of those who are broken. The Lord loves and wants to save even those who strongly oppose the Truth, so he will not destroy them.

Our mission is to preach the Message of Salvation. If, while fulfilling your mission, you undergo hardship, do not give in to temptation and try to solve the problems on your own, nor use questionable means to get rid of a setback. The secret is to have courage to speak about Jesus both in Jerusalem and Rome. After all, God has given you power to carry out his works in the same manner that Jesus did (John 14.12).

In Christ, with love,

R. R. Soares
