Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Colossians 1.28

There are greater riches than the entire gold that exists in this world, which you have probably wasted. Once you understand what God has prepared and destined for your life, in a blink of an eye, you will see that everything that is necessary for a life with dignity, without suffering or sin, has already been granted. The secret is to know the Truth, a privilege that only the true disciples of Jesus have access to.

The Holy Scriptures is clear in saying that the spirit, soul, and body must be conserved in an irreproachable way, in order to be presented to Jesus Christ in His return. Now, if the visible part – the body – is not being conserved in an irreproachable way, do you think that the soul and spirit, which we cannot see, are free from the actions of the enemy? It is necessary to understand that we have been completely saved from the hands of the devil, not under an illusion of a religious message.

Examine the way that you live and do not deceive yourself, for those who belong to the Lord are known by Him. Do you enjoy and abundant life, or is it something that does not concern you? Judas, the brother of the Lord, orientated the beloved ones to conserve their lives in God’s love (Jud 21). Were these people only blessed in the soul and spirit, which no one sees, or in the body as well? What did Peter say to brother Aeneas, who had been lame for eight years (Ac 9.33,34)? 

In the time of the Law, God revealed Himself as the Lord who heals you (Ex 15.26). Nowadays, He is even more than that: He is the Lord who has already healed us (Is 53.4). Whoever does not care about what the Word says is in much loss, for the most important thing is to learn at Jesus’ feet. Your health, finances, and behavior show what kind of faith you have. It is worth being completely converted to the Lord, seek Him with all of Your heart, and surrendering yourself completely to Him.

The Word says that God will finish the good work that He Begun in you (Ph 1.6). Epaphras, the pastor of the Colossians, fought in prayer so that his people might remain perfect and convinced of God’s will (Col 4.12). This must be the goal and the reason of our prayers. Many live far away from God because of the fascination of riches, the cares of life, and the world ambitions, and as a consequence, they are filled with problems (Mt 13.22).

It is necessary to know and live the Truth, so that you may be delivered by it. See the conditions for that to happen in John 8.31,32. If there is something that you do that bothers you, pray concerning it. The Word guarantees that the Lord answers those who cry out to Him (Ps 4.3). Check if your way of serving God is according to the Scriptures or filled with human teaching, for in case your answer is the second, there is a breach for the devil to strike against you.

Paul affirmed that the Lord cared for him and strengthened him so that he would preach for the gentiles, freeing him from the mouth of the lion (2 Tm 4.17). What has happened to you when the diagnosis, or the symptoms, show that there is something wrong in your body, soul, and spirit? Seek now for your deliverance. After all, only those who remain in Jesus’ words can know the Truth and be delivered by it.

In Christ, with love,
