How wonderful it will be when our Lord Jesus Christ comes for His Church. The proof of our faith finally be revealed. This faith that today grow even through harsh trials. As by fire, we are tested, but even in extreme suffering stand firm, believing that we shall receive the crown of glory that is reserved for those who remain steadfast and faithful to the King of kings. And when Christ returns, our faith is to be a worship crown, honor and glory to Him who's face and tell us each of us: COME blessed of my Father, receive FOR HERITAGE WHAT YOU ARE SEPARATE FROM WORLD FOUNDATION. Therefore, I invite you to remain steadfast, trusting that God is contemplating your suffering and that there will come a time when the faith that grows now in the midst of struggles, will be your entry passport to the holy city, where there will be more struggles and pain, no suffering, no death, only joy and songs of praise to Him who is worthy of all praise and honor and glory.
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. - 1 Peter 1.7

One day a small opening appeared in a cocoon . A man sat up and began to observe the cocoon for several hours as the butterfly struggled to make its body through that little hole. Suddenly it seemed to stop making any progress. So the man decided to help her , took scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon and the butterfly emerged easily . The body was withered little butterfly and its wings were wrinkled . The man continued to watch her, because he expected that at any moment , the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support that small and frail body , which would contract in time and fly freely. Nothing happened ! In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings . She was never able to fly . What the man , in his kindness and haste did not know , is that that restricting cocoon and the butterfly natural effort that was to leave him , was the way God meant that the body fluid of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon . Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives . If God had created man inside a dome of protection, thus preventing it never passed by any stretch , facing the natural obstacles of life , man would surely be a weak , powerless and without resistance. You know what hurts ? Look for the church . A church that started the chase , but if gathered and cried out to God for courage to continue preaching the truth : Jesus Christ is the Messiah , the Savior who died and rose again. And God answered with the outpouring of His Holy Spirit and this was the place where they were shaking by the power of God . Today ? Unfortunately the Brazilian church suffers no persecution , nor calls for courage , nor preaches the truth . This hurts . It hurts to know that we are very happy with what we've become , after all we are eating the good of the land , preaching Christ's return ? For what ? If Christ came back now he would spoil the party for many. Therefore the hearts of many men hurt. It hurt to the point of spending in defense of Truth . Like Luther, who can not endure to see the church walking towards the abyss, away from God's will . But what about today? Where are those who feel the heart ache for what you are doing with the Bride of Christ ? We see the absurd things that make many on behalf of an alleged preaching and laughed ; only laughed . It hurts even to think that nobody does anything , nothing but enjoy and share in the face when he sees some bullshit pseudo evangelical , but so what ? I wonder what Christ thinks of all this ? When will the Church , the true Church will stand up , gather again , and pray and pray and pray , crying out to God to pour out his Spirit to be filled with the authority to preach again the Truth of the Gospel of God's Kingdom ? When? When? How long will we stay with our carnality staining the purity of a Holy God ? Even when God will endure our cold and filth ? God needs men and holy women who clamor for authority to preach the Gospel . Over these he pours out his Spirit . Therefore our meetings more resemble social gatherings . Therefore the Holy Spirit is not poured over . Why we do not care for what they are doing with the Bride of the Lamb . This hurts . And it hurts deep in the soul. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, {and} the right of the poor. Salmos 140:12 The word today is that we bring CAUTION. The Bible declares that God is in heavenlooking righteous and wicked. In His omniscience, God knows and knows all things. We go through struggles and needs, through times of trials, torment and pain. In each of thesemoments in contemplating the Lord is watching us. Not as a mere spectator to contemplate what happens on the stage of a theater. Many times the Lord is using the trialso that we can learn something so that we can grow. Sometimes God is comforting to usthat we can comfort others who pass through trials. Struggles and sufferings for you can be synonymous with pain, but God is training. He is preparing you for something. God will not let you go through what you can not, will not let you experience what you are not able to win.He knows exactly how far you can afford. He created you. Nobody knows you like him so deeply. The next time that evil and grief rise up against you, lift your head confidently, knowing that if you come upon such a trial is because God, the Creator of all things, you know you canwin. Hold on. In a moment the comfort will come. In a moment a door opens and you will achieve your victory. God is not man that He should lie, He said he will take care of you personally. How wonderful! He will not send an angel, He will take care of you personally at the time of tribulation, such as a father offering his lap to his son crying your pain, tears, then clears the calls you 'C'mon son, let us resolve this situation. Believe me, your God is watching over you! |
