So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast. John 4:45

Jesus had warned that a prophet has no honor among his own (Mk 6:4). However, as He worked wonders, fulfilling the Father’s guidance, this picture changed. His compatriots were expecting Him joyfully and expectantly because they saw that He was not like the rest. People need to realize that we are different and know how to discern the spiritual from the carnal so that we can help them. Without this divine witness, they will receive little from us.

You will not be noticed while ignoring your ability in the Almighty. But as you pay attention to the Most High, you will find yourself one more among many. Your call is to follow the Bible. The way we are prepared by the Lord for service is very important. For example, a painter paints just like any other, but his skill in details will set him apart.

When they saw the Master, the joy of all was contagious. However, He was not led by any of the things they spoke; After all, he knew the human being well. The man’s praise is not good and, in some cases, harms the recipient. If this person is not in spirit, the devil will plant in him a sense of independence even from the Lord. Never allow anything to corrupt you. Remember that all honor should be given exclusively to the heavenly Father.

By converting, the individual receives the power to become a child of God (John 1:12). But as long as he does not seek the Lord, repenting his sins, and avoiding the evil traps, his salvation will not be completed, and the yoke of the devil will remain. Sanctification is attained daily with the help of the Omnipotent. Now you must ascertain what the divine will is for your life and yours; otherwise the difficulties will continue. We have to go to the end!

There are Christians living just like the lost. To make matters worse, they still say their mistakes are normal. Whoever does not seek the direction of the Lord in the Scriptures will go astray and will not sit among the princes of God’s people (Ps 113: 8). After making the big decision, the most important part of our relationship with the Father begins: sanctification in the Truth (John 17:17).

The interest in blessings is in everyone’s heart. This is good, because it opens us to the Most High. However, as Jesus knew what was inside man, He never let Him be carried away by flattery. We must also have this alert within us. If we let what comes from man flood us, we will not really serve the Lord. He alone deserves our worship, honor and praise, and we cannot disappoint Him!

When someone goes to the men’s party, little gets better. In some cases, it even gets worse. But as he goes to the feast of Jesus of the operations of the Holy Spirit, he is impressed by the work God began to do in his life. Warning: This does not mean that this person is already truly converted. You must be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (John 3:3)!

In Christ, with love,
