How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? Matthew 16.11

Helping a man with his basic needs is essential. He is only concerned with asking for his problems to be solved, and Jesus certainly can solve this very well. Therefore, those who hear the Gospel should be taught to look for the solution and not to count difficulties. Sometimes, by the way God’s people pray, it seems that the Lord is guilty of the bad things that happen. But He protects, heals, and delivers us. God is our Friend!

When we take our eyes off adversity and put them on the Savior, what seemed difficult to solve becomes easy. From that moment on, we can determine whatever we need, being aware of the promises recorded in the Scriptures. Outside of the Word, the beloved Lord cannot answer anyone. Put yourself in the gap between man and God and be victorious (Ezek. 22:30). Amen!

Whoever wants to walk with the Lord will need to learn from His servants of the past, because He remains the same. To believe that God has modernized Himself is ridiculous. The Almighty has the same power today as He did in Biblical times. Actually, the Creator doesn’t have to modernize Himself; He judges according to righteous judgment. So don’t be led astray by anything outside the Bible, because the Lord will never operate without faith. 

We do not understand many things about the Scriptures, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). The person who refuses to accept the Lord’s call loses a lot. The person who does not receive the Word as truth does not believe God, and he who does not believe God has made Him a liar (1 John 5.10). This is serious! To refuse the clear and simple offer of the Creator does not let you understand what He speaks most in His Word. God is perfect and wise!

Those who hear the preaching of the Word know that it came from the Lord. While it is being preached, the Holy Spirit will show everyone the Truth in words; but out of wickedness, some will continue in error, knowing that they are condemning themselves to eternal punishment. Why not bow down before the Being who created everything in Him, by Him and for Him (Romans 11.36)?  

When someone heeds God’s voice, the veil of unbelief, or religiosity, is lifted from within him. Then he recognizes the Gospel – the Good News of Jesus’ love – as the Way to the salvation of his soul. Then he accepts what the Savior has done for him, receives Him into his heart, gets rid of the devil’s nature, is saved, and starts keeping the commandments.

By accepting the Lord, you leave the authority of the kingdom of darkness and you are transported into the Kingdom of God’s love, Jesus’ Kingdom (Colossians 1.13). From then on, Satan loses his power to oppress you, and you become a new creation; then the old things no longer exist in your life (2 Corinthians 5:17), your sins are forgiven, and you begin to grow in Christ.

In Christ, with love,
