Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.  Deuteronomy 34:7

Moses’ incredible faith kept him strong and active to the last of his days.  Is this possible today?  I believe it is, because for me this passage is an indication from the Lord that we are to enjoy His blessings, just like  the one taken from the waters enjoyed his  (Exodus 2:10)  Honestly, we lack the will to believe in God as we should; after all, Jesus did say “All things are possible to him who believes.” (Mark 9:23)

Caleb knew how to preserve his strength.  He did not exaggerate when he, at 85 years of age, said “I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me” (Joshua 14:11). Joshua honored Moses’ word, giving Hebron to Caleb, who expelled from there three sons of Anak – the giant. God’s servants must believe in great things, because He is the Greatest in every sense.  With the strength given by the Lord, we will face challenges, considering them as opportunities to show in Whom we believe.

Do not fail to take hold of the blessings that are promised to you.  Knowing that in Hebron, there were giants, as he remembered Joshua, Caleb declared that the land was his by inheritance (Joshua 14:12). This means we must remind the Lord of what He has told us.  Now, God is not forgetful; which means that this reminder refers more to us than to Him.  It is like saying we accept the alliance He made to us referring to the promise and we take possession of them. Thus, He will surely fulfill it.

The Lord declared that He will renew our strengths (Isaiah 40:31), and this also refers to the physical strength.  However if we do not cry out nor believe in this, the days will pass, our bodies become weak and we will be disappointed for not seeing the Faithful and Just fulfill His words in us.  Now God did not say we would not grow old, but said He would invigorate us.  Believe in the Word of the Lord and you will become the blessing that He planned.

When I was 20 years old, I began to have problems with my eyesight.  I didn’t know that there was something wrong with my eyes, but I had a headache every day.  While I was buying products in São Paulo to sell in Rio de Janeiro, from door to door, I mentioned this headache to the owner of a clothing industry.  She said it might be related to my vision, because her son had similar symptoms and was diagnosed with astigmatism.  When I went to the doctor, the suspicion was confirmed.

Wearing glasses was not in my plans, but I had to use them.  In those days I bombarded the Heavens, crying out for my healing.  I wore glasses for four months, but one night at the Brazil for Christ Church, in Catumbi, Rio de Janeiro, Pastor John Brasilio delivered a short message about five minutes long, which was meant for me to hear, and followed by a prayer of faith.  Since then, I never wore glasses again, and the headache ceased.  What made the difference?  Faith in Jesus Christ. Halleluiah!

Moses died at 120 years of age, and his eyes never dimmed.  Now, he knew how to say a prayer that pleased the Father, which always kept him strong.  The question is: does anyone who believes and asks for deliverance obtain the same results?  The Bible says that God makes no partiality (Romans 2:11).  If He did it for someone, undoubtedly He is ready to do it for you.  Believe it!

In Christ, with love,

Lord! Moses possessed an enormous faith, because he certainly heeded Your Word. Thus, He pleased You immensely.  We also believe that he knew how to seek and to find You, and this way You could answer all prayers made by Your servant.

We want to do Your good, perfect and pleasing will and surrender to You as Moses did. As we behave this way, we will be used by You during these difficult times, when Jesus’ return draws near, and the devil, knowing his time is short, is acting up more than ever on Earth.

Help us to find You so we can be used according to Your will.  This way, Your hand will be upon us, and many people will be saved.  Deliver us from the dangers of riches, from unrestrained desires, uncontrolled ambitions and everything that comes from the kingdom of darkness and evil. Amen!
