That's my right, he cannot take it from me

‘That’s my right, he cannot take it from me’

One of the greatest revelations that God has brought to His Church in these past few days is the importance of taking on a living, practical and bold faith. A kind of faith and belief that spares no effort or sacrifice to achieve the promises of God, especially the greatest of all the promises: the baptism with the Holy Spirit.

When we look at Jacob and Esau, we can understand the kind of attitude that catches God’s eyes. Jacob not only DESIRED to INHERIT the birthright. He WANTED to CONQUER it, and so he fought all his life to achieve what for him was of greater worth, because it represented the promise of God. From the womb of his mother, Jacob already fought for something that rightfully belonged to his brother Esau

Esau, however, was unable to fully appreciate the privilege that he had “inherited”. As he came back from hunting feeling very hungry, he exchanged his greatest asset for plate of lentils. I’m sure deep down he must have thought, “That is my right, he cannot take it from me.” But that does not change the fact that he did not give due value to what to the most precious thing he had.

He despised his birthright, the right to continue the lineage of the patriarchs. Therefore, the God of Abraham and Isaac could never be known as the God of Esau!

As for Jacob, even though he used unconventional methods to achieve the birthright, he showed through his actions how much it meant to him. He earned a right that he did not have, and God changed his name to Israel.

So who are the ones who receive the greatest and most wonderful of God’s promises? They are those who recognize that the Holy Spirit is invaluable, and that to achieve it is worth any effort. They are those who are willing to sacrifice their desires and surrender themselves to be filled with God. In short, are those who are do not feel sad, do not hide and not look back when they hear about sacrifice.

God bless

One thing is important.

And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41, 42 NKJV)

One thing is needed and that should be our priority, to receive the Holy Spirit.
God Bless You.

How Simple!

See how simple it is to receive the Holy Spirit.

"So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!"
Luke 11:13
Keep asking.

Ethernet Christian or Wireless Christian?

Ethernet Christian or Wireless Christian?

Speaking in terms of internet connection, there's basically two ways of connecting your computer. By ethernet connection, which comes directly from the router or wirelessly (meaning without any wires attached).

Now I'm going to use this example to establish a parallel between two types of Christians!... Let's call them the "Ethernet Christians" and "Wireless Christians".

The "Ethernet Christians" are those whose connection is only in the church!... In the church they are mindful and thoughtful of God's ways and will, however their connection is limited to that space. After they leave the church, their connection stops, their prayer stops, the meditation in God's word stops, they stop to be in the spirit and go back to please their flesh, cravings and desires. Then because there's no connection, one will be without guidance, strength and will be lost.

The "Wireless Christians" are those that no matter where they are, in the church, work, home, etc... they are always connected with God! Not necessary through prayers, fasting or the like, but above all in Spirit, mindful and thoughtful on how to do God's will and to please him. They don't depend on a pastor, church, or 3rd parties, they are inspired, revived and renewed by their own connection with God.

The "Wireless Christians" know that in order to have a "strong signal" they need to be close to the "Router" otherwise they will become weak. We need to be close to the "Root" of strength, energy, positivity, guidance, inspiration, peace, wisdom, self-control, etc...

The Lord Jesus is called the Root of David (Revelation 5:5).

Whom have we been?

The "Ethernet Christian" or the "Wireless Christian"?

Why have you not found?

And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV)

Above is the answer for those who have not received the Holy Spirit yet.

You must seek with with all your heart.

It means that finding Him must be at the top of your list more than anything else.

May God help you to do it.

Fast of Daniel

Every day i will be posting a new message for you to keep in faith during this 21 Days fast of Daniel.

Who Wants?

"...but you shall seek the place where the Lord your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His name for His dwelling place and there you shall go. There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks." Deuteronomy 12.5, 6

One is a place of sacrifice, and the other is the sacrifice.

Mount Calvary was the place God chose for the Purest Sacrifice: Jesus.

The patriarchs would build an altar of stones and make their offerings of sacrifice;

Moses built a portable tabernacle so that the children of Israel could give their offerings of sacrifice;

Solomon built the Temple so that the children of Israel could make their sacrificial offerings.

Sacrifices were not to be done anywhere the people pleased, but they were to seek the place where the LORD chose...

Israel has not offered sacrifices to the Lord because they do not have a Temple. Since then, Jews eagerly await the reconstruction of the Place of Sacrifice, so that they may return to this practice.

"Then the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said to him: I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice," 2 Chronicles 7.12

As long as the Jews do not have a Temple, they cannot sacrifice, and without sacrifice there is no communion with God.

Why is there a need for sacrifice?

The Altar represents the Throne of the Almighty, and the sacrificial offering on the altar represents God's people.

Therefore, it is on the Altar that the communion between the Holy Trinity and His children takes place.

Jesus said: "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself (sacrifice), and take up his cross (sacrifice) and follow Me (sacrifice)," Matthew 16.24

Whoever wants to be saved must be the sacrifice, himself, and always be on the Altar.

Who wants to be the sacrifice?

Why does it work for some and not for others?

I was reading a message in Bishop Macedo's blog http://www.bispomacedo.com.br/2013/03/12/estava-pensando-nisso/ (click the link in portuguese) and I was thinking, we all hear the same word, have the same Holy Spirit, the same bible etc... 

Why some succeed and others don't ?

Why some are blessed and others are not?

Let us look at the case bellow:

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ "

But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” Luke 8:42-46 NKJV

Everybody was touching Jesus, but the bible does not say all of them were being healed, but the woman was healed just by touching his garment, not touch him.

What was different about her?

The indignation or revolt against the situation that was inside of her heart.

She was ready for life or death, all or nothing, the law said a woman who was bleeding was considered unclean and she could not touch a man, but her revolt led her to go ahead in faith and that made her see the results that she wanted.

We can pray, fast, teach and try to awake a revolt in your heart against your situation by showing what God has promised but we cannot be revolted against your situation for you.

Do your part for God has already done His.

How would you react?

"Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:19-22 NKJV)

After being stoned and almost dying we see Paul strengthening the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith.

What about you? When stones are thrown at you how do you react?

THE TRUTH

Many people have been living in lie.

Definition of lie:

1.

a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood,
to speak falsely or utter untruth knowingly, as with intent to deceive. 

Are you one of them?  Let us see:

Have you been told that there is no hope for you.

That your  problems are your karma, cross, punishment or simply the will of God and you have to accept it, that is the way it is, it is life.

That you cannot be healed, happy and achieve the life you always wanted to have.

Here is the Truth:
You have been deceived and told a lie.

You can have the life you always wanted and dreamed of.

But first you must change the way you think and revolt against the problems you are facing.

Jesus said:

"And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" John 8:32

God has promised to give you a better life come and join us this Sunday as we will be claiming what is rightfully ours.
