So, God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us. Acts 15.8

There is no way anyone can deceive the Lord, for He knows our heart. Those who think they can do something hidden from God forget that the Bible teaches about the Father’s presence everywhere: for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ (Acts 17.28). The Most High is tremendous!

The foreknowledge of the Creator makes Him know everything about us, so we should only tell people the truth, especially to the Lord. If we fail to speak the decision we have made within ourselves, it will not turn into action, because it has not yet been “published”. Even though we are kings to our God (Revelation 5.10), we have to announce our decrees (Mark 11.23)!

When the prayer of faith is prayed and someone is healed, we believe that such healing is a testimony that such an individual is close to salvation, because his sins have been forgiven (James 5.15). However, it is not enough to receive the forgiveness of sins to be saved; it is necessary to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. Then you will obtain complete deliverance: But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name (John 1.12).

It is not good to criticize those who truly believe in God and intercede for the sick in their services. It is impossible for someone to receive a blessing and then speak ill of the Lord. The Master spoke about this referring to a man who was doing divine work, and the disciples forbade him: But Jesus said: Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me (Mark 9.39). Therefore, do not judge anyone, simply pray for them!

It is a good thing that God sees our heart at every moment. Before a thought is formed in us, He knows what is on the way, so He can deliver us from any temptation. Without the Lord, we are nothing (John 15.5), but victims of the devil. Now, with the care and protection of the Most High over our lives, the evil one will never be able to use us in his dirty deeds. Let us stand firm in Christ Jesus and we will overcome all the hosts of evil.

We need to be aware that the Holy Spirit has a great mission for us. When the enemy comes up like a torrent of water, the Lord will go ahead to defeat him. Don’t forget that the Word commands us to fight against the forces of evil; after all, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the hellish powers (Ephesians 6.12). What do you say about this?

To those who serve Him – the Lord grants His Spirit, that he may go well in all things, have health, and may his soul be prosperous (3 John 2). This is the testimony that the Almighty gives of His servants. Converts to the Gospel must seek the baptism in the Spirit in order to be guided and kept by the Almighty.

In Christ, with love,
