Especially concerning the day you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’  Deuteronomy 4:10

It´s important to always be in church and to actively participate in what the Lord does in His house, examining the Word and meditating on His preaching. Although many services are shown on TV and social media, we have to take into account the command that Moses received to gather Israel together to hear God’s revelations. Obvisouly the Most High works when we minister from person to person, but it is in the congregation, in the appointed place, that we are most successful (2 Chronicles 7:12-16). Obey!

We need to get together to hear the powerful words of God, the One who created all things from nothing. It is good to be present in the services where the Word is taught, because in them the Almighty clarifies and tells us what we need to do to live the best of the Gospel – the Good News of what Christ did in favor of mankind upon His death. By learning about our rights, we will no longer be subject to the devil, but will take liberating actions.

When everyone comes before the Lord, even the preacher is convinced that he has to give his best and with fear and trembling – he allows himself to be used as God desires. The moment the message is being delivered, it´s important to be silent; conversations must give way to the Holy Spirit, who will tell us what He has heard in Heaven. Nothing is more important than letting His voice convict us of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). The living God speaks and acts!

Be ready to hear the Lord – that is the best attitude. The Word separates us from the lies of the devil and makes us ready to overcome the battles. In the revelations we will receive, there is power to put an end to evil: So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:11). God is faithful Fulfiller of what He says!

With the people gathered together, the Most High will convey His words. Thus, the solution to problems will be in our hands. No doubt everyone faces adversity, but if they are willing and pay attention to the Scriptures, any difficulty will be solved. In faith meetings, God makes Himself heard. Knowing this, why not invite people to attend them? Then many would not sin; there would be no couples divorcing, no one committing suicide, and no other cases that shame us.

Those who learn from the Lord see that He is meek and humble in heart (Matthew 11:29). Christ is the Friend of those who have and keep His commandments. This way, the whole church will fear the Lord from the heart. The saved must be taught to serve God with all their strength in order to enjoy the blessings provided by Him. We must continually respect Him in the Land of Promise, the Gospel. This is urgent for our days. Pray!

What we have learned must be passed on to the next generation, because in 20 years these boys and girls will become doctors, lawyers, legislators, judges and other professionals. So, let’s prepare ourselves for better times, when everyone will serve God. He is good!

In Christ, with love,
