The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3: 8

Those who are born of the Spirit are children of God, while the other people are creatures of the Lord. They prove this fact by the way they live, because when they feel the touch from on High, they are willing to fulfill what God says. Now, those who have not yet passed through the process of salvation have no concern for the divine work, nor care to know how to go to church when seeking help in difficult times. How do you qualify yourself?

Paul received the revelation of the persecutions that awaited him from city to city, not in advance that man deems necessary to prepare himself. But prepare for what? But the apostle did not fail to heed the touches of the Holy Spirit. Paul went where God sent him. You need to seek the Lord more, so that you also be informed of what can happen to you or what you can do for people who don´t have Christ.

When Moses understood who he was, he preferred to suffer with his people than be called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh (Hebrews 11: 24). He refused to occupy the throne of the greatest nation in the world of those days. Unfortunately, we see people who should be closer to God, preparing themselves to “succeed” in the world. Now, the greatest victory that anyone can achieve is not a good job, a good home, and a lot of money, but to know and continue to know the Omnipotent (Hosea 6: 3).

Jesus felt a need to go through Samaria, and there at the well of Jacob he met a woman who had had five husbands. After she was evangelized by Christ, the men of that city came to Him and were drawn to the Truth. Have you had similar experiences like this and enjoyed the moments prepared by the Lord? Some were almost used in a spectacular way, but since they were alone, gave themselves to sin. What god did they serve?

Elijah felt that he should admonish Ahab. But since the king would not listen to him, the prophet rebuked him, saying that there would only be rain in Israel when he wished. Although the wicked king mocked him, the word of Elijah was fulfilled and ended by exterminating the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 of the idols. He still heard all the people cry out that only the Lord is God (read 1 Kings 17 and 18). Only those who accept the challenges will win, even if they seem impossible.

Jesus said that all born of the Spirit, not just some, must act. The time has come for employees and unemployed, bosses and authorities, people considered important or not, but born of God, proceed as the Lord desires. If you fail to fulfill the divine will, is there any reason for you to exist? Begin to live as the Word tells you to and you will be fulfilled.

We do not know where we came from or where we are going, but when we hear the voice of the Wind, we must be on the way to obey the Lord. By following the commandments, you will prove your love to the Master, who will also love you and make His home in your heart. Your happiness depends on your obedience to God. Do you believe?

In Christ with love,
