Questioning decisions already made


;
One of the things I learned with my father-in-law was to always be forward looking. He’s the kind of person that if he leaves home and, once on the road, realizes he forgot something, he doesn’t go back to get it. Not only that. In all decisions already made, past events and anything that’s already been done, he is able to learn the lesson and look ahead faster than the time it took you to read this sentence. Simple. He doesn’t waste time. He doesn’t keep regretting, complaining, blaming himself nor others. He only sees what has to be done now and does it. That’s it.
Instinctively he understands that our energy has to be focused and used on the present, not on what we cannot change, and not on what is already over. Almost everyday someone comes up to me asking and looking for advice:
  • I think I married the wrong person, now what?
  • I’ve made many mistakes, how do I start again?
  • My girlfriend broke up with me, I still like her though, what do I do?
There are decisions you’ve already made — or someone made for you —and there’s no going back. That’s why it’s useless to keep questioning all the time what has already been done. You got married and every time you have problems you keep asking if you should continue in the relationship. You invested money in your business and when the phone doesn’t ring as often as you’d like, you question the wisdom of your investment. You sinned and you keep on reliving what happened in your mind. Waste of time. Waste of energy.
It’s best for you to use that energy to find solutions, focusing on what you can do to resolve the problem.
Unfortunately, the majority of people waste the biggest part of their time and energy lamenting, questioning, blaming themselves or others for their situation.
Don’t be part of the majority. The actual question is:
What can you do right now, where you are, with what you have?
Forget about the rest and look ahead. Always.

Baptism with Holy Spirit And Strange Tongues - Day 20

           Strange tongues as a sign of the baptism



"Everyone who is baptised with the Holy Spirit speaks in tongues; however, not everyone who speaks in tongues is baptised with the Holy Spirit." Bp Macedo from Holy Spirit Book.

It is very difficult to for a person who speaks in tongues to accept that they don't have the baptism with the Holy Spirit, but we should not forget that the devil can disguise  himself as a Angel of Light and that he also speaks in tongues, the fruit of your own life bears witness to a life of deception.

How do you know if you have the Holy Spirit?

It is by the Fruit.

After having the experience of speaking in tongues, the fruit of the Holy Spirit must follow, we spoke about the fruit in previous posts, all of them must be seen not just one or another.

Also there has to be a substantial difference in yourself, such as: your thoughts about other people, no more hatred, jealousy, lewdness, swearing words, insomnia, fear, nervousness, suicidal thoughts, addictions, dizziness etc...

There will be a strong desire to save souls and the opposite of what is above such as: love (forgiveness), joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.  (Galatians 5:22)

Jesus said:
 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
Matthew 7:15-20. NKJV


What fruits are you bearing?

May God Bless you.

The Holy Spirit Book - Day 19

Gifts of The Holy Spirit

Discerning of spirits






From the gifts of revelation, there is one who applies very much to nowadays, it is the Discerning of spirits, the ability to know if a spirit is from God or not.

Deceiving spirits have been causing great destruction in the Kingdom of God, as many people are inclined to the emotions of the heart, they are easily deceived by signs and feelings which many times performed by the devil himself.

The Bible says,' And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light'(2 Corinthians 11.14)

Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world'(1 John 4:1)

Therefore we urge you to be extremely careful for the devil is after those who are in the presence of God to try and deceive them.

May God give us the gift of Discerning spirit.

We continue tomorrow
