They are all hot, like an oven, And have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen. None among them calls upon Me.  Hosea 7:7

In our day many have become religious, showing that they have lost their thirst for Truth. For them, the main thing has been to dispute with the children of darkness, gathering more audience and receiving applause at their shows. As this competition takes place, sin reigns among God’s people. Will apostasy win? Mercy!

Hosea mentions the mistake of not calling on the Name of the Lord, for He is the only one who can stop the evil one´s advance. We cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that many saved are moving away from God’s way. They forsake the Well of Living Waters and dig for themselves broken cisterns, which hold no water (Jeremiah 2:13). If the Christian assumes his position, turning to the Most High, God will come and heal his land (2 Chronicles 7:14). Brazil belongs to Jesus!

We must wake up and know that the Almighty has not aged or tired, but is ready to do His great work. He has given us His power to act as Jesus showed us. As we begin to cast out demons and heal the sick, we will see multitudes being saved. Let us follow Christ´s example! Let’s go back to the first love!

God must be “stopped,” as Jacob did on the other side of the ford of Jabbok (Genesis 32: 22-31). This servant did not let Him go without blessing him first. Only live the Gospel preached by Jesus, because it is the power of God. However, there will be operations only if it is not intervened by weak minds, who, because some people live in sin, they invent the most incredible justifications for the lack of divine manifestation in their lives.

Evil works, true hidden sins, have hidden the face of the Lord. He cannot live with those who are in error, for, because He is holy, He would destroy sinners, as He warned us. Examine whether you serve God according to Scripture, or according to doctrines that deny the principles set forth in the Holy Book. Only holiness suits God’s house, not sin!

We will be “melted” by the Consuming Fire (Isaiah 64:7), if we are not right with Him. We are to be built as a holy nation and His own special people (1 Peter 2:9). So take away the iniquities of your life and you will see how much the Lord wants to use you. However, as you hide them, prepare for judgment´s harshness. Consecrate yourself to the One who only wants your well being?

Turn to the Most High now and see how good He is in forgiving and transforming lives. Do not be overcome by the evil one, for the outcome will be the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. Rush back to the Lord´s house, and He will have a feast. If you are wise, the everlasting heart of the loving Father will delight in joy and happiness!

In Christ, with love,
