O Israel, return to the LORD your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Hosea 14.1

The message from the Most High to Israel, the Northern Kingdom, was very clear. The country had fallen due to the sin of its citizens. The only way out was for the people to convert in order to escape a suffering future, but it seems that they were unmoved by the heavenly message, and the Assyrians had a blast! That part of Jacob’s sons was taken to various nations and never returned to rebuild their land (2 Kings 17). Sin destroys the dream!

Even though they are blessed, many people despise the work that God has done for them and continue in error. The Israelites were aware of their origin, of the suffering and faith of the patriarchs and other servants who lived in the previous centuries and were firm in their obedience to Heaven. The children did not follow the example of their parents, so the devil succeeded in his attempt, taking to them adversaries who humiliated them and scattered them throughout the world. The message was: Come back, Israel! Pray!

Today, many people have ignored the instruction of the One who created all things from nothing. Like the Israelites, there are saved people failing to examine – the reason God no longer answers their prayers. Without the existence of faith, He cannot answer anyone. This was explained in the Scriptures (Hebrews 11.6). Here is the truth: They have not submitted to the Father’s eye, who sees and shows what is hidden from us.

God is found in the pages of the Bible and, in a simple way, blesses those who come to Him in order to meet their needs. He says: if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7.14). We need only humble ourselves – let His Spirit lead us – and then we will be saved!

Conversion is a simple thing, but it must happen wholeheartedly. By understanding that the Lord’s plans are different from yours, you seek to know His plan for you. Now, whoever dedicates himself to this investigation will also know what he has to accomplish in order to go to the Source of success, Jesus. In the Lord’s words, we find the way out of our problems and what we need to overcome (Psalms 119.105).

Conversion to Christ has no religious or philosophical basis, but a spiritual one. Soon, your inner “ears” will understand the Word, and from one moment to the next you will feel that you can take on all the promises of the Most High. With this understanding, you will see that you are strong enough to face the kingdom of evil in the Name of Jesus. By submitting to God and resisting the devil, the devil will flee from your life (James 4.7). The Name of Christ is a fire that the devil cannot face it (Philippians 2.5-11).

Come into the Father’s presence and confess your sins. If you leave it for later, it may be too late. Then, head towards victory! The Lord tells you that turning to Him is all you have to do. Those who take advantage of this opportunity are saved from all the snares of the enemy.

In Christ, with love,
