opposition and criticism
If men do not understand us and criticize our good intentions or if they oppose us and persecute us because of misunderstandings, there is no need to surprise us as something new. There are a multitude of people who do not know why they were put on this earth if they did, they would not waste their time to meddle in the affairs of others. Those who understand God plan in their lives continue to work to accomplish the task that has been proposed. They are indifferent to what people think and say about them, because the God in whom they have to report their intentions known, keeps his love and comfort. Why should we be troubled by the opposition that we encounter when we know that our Creator and Lord knows our thoughts and one day He will reveal.When a man arrives in a foreign country, people look at him with astonishment and dogs bark at him. The true Christian does not belong to this world looks like a pilgrim and a stranger. There is therefore surprising and discouraging if a dog of this world for taking a stranger barks against him and maybe even tears.Ever a task was entrusted to hostile criticism from the truth. Maybe one day these criticisms had been entrusted with a mission, but they were discharged because of their inability to perform. When the work of God was taken, they were without occupation. To provide work for idle hands, perhaps they are fun to throw stones at those who worked in the work of God. But one thing is certain, Satan lying vacant confided their mission.Many never find their own shortcomings and failures, and are always looking for the faults of others. The eye that sees things not seen outside himself and not notice its flaws. And opponents of the truth see everything except their own faults. When we look in a mirror, the eye sees and recognizes his faults and living in communion with the Word made flesh and examining our lives in the light of the written word of God, we can know ourselves perfectly. More than this, Christ will not only show us our sinfulness, but He will yet reveal to us in His healing power and salvation. If we turn to Him, obedient and persevering in prayer, living in His holy communion, He will remove our imperfections and transform us in his image so glorious throughout eternity we share in his glory.

silence critics
When people begin to despise you for the way you live by faith, do as Jesus, and just continue to bless people. Continue to pray for those who are oppressed by the devil, and get their deliverance. Continue to lay hands on the sick, and get healing. Continue to do what God has called you to do. This will upset the devil, because its primary purpose is to make you ineffective for the kingdom of God. He wants you to be absorbed by the critics. He wants to entertain you away from the work that God has given you. He wants you to give up. Do not do it! Instead, follow the instructions in 2 Timothy 3:14 but continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured. Reduce to silence critics ignorant men, continuing to do well and continue to live by faith. And when all their foolish words have faded, yet you remain strong.

Reviews of men of God
It is time to stop shooting ourselves in the feet of Christians, because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the powers of darkness.was quick to demolish a man of God who has sinned. And then, who has never sinned? Should we throw all his ministry in the trash? I do not think: we recognize a tree by its fruit, and if this man repented, we should see it as through the eyes of God, that is to say holy by the blood of Jesus! Many men of God have fallen completely stopped their ministry, so the criticism was heavy, yet it is certain they would have still made the kingdom of God. If we want to be ready for the return of Jesus, we must strive to live in unity in our differences. Jesus does not look ugly wife who does not control his tongue, but he has to find a wife without spots or wrinkles. Do we really discern the body of Christ? Are we really that wife reflecting the character of Jesus himself? Are we preparing those involved in his kingdom on this earth, desiring that the prayer of Jesus on the unity of his body answered?...understand that the anointing is God approval of a person and the covering power of the Holy Spirit for that person to stand in the office to which the Lord has called and not a man or human mouths.

Grace and faith
The good news is that grace has nothing to do with you. Grace existed before existence. Another way of saying this is that the grace of God is the spring. Grace and faith work together, and they must be kept in balance. Sometimes we read a passage of writing that is so familiar that we do not stop to think about what it is really saying. In this verse, there is a profound truth that is decreed. He says that we are saved by grace through faith and not by one or the other. Think about it a little - Grace is what God does, faith is what we do. You need both sets to receive salvation. Much emphasis on grace and others focus on faith. But very few focus on the balance between grace and faith. It a bit like chloride and sodium. Taken individually, these are two poisons that can kill you. Mixed together, it becomes salt it takes to live. Grace without a positive response of faith will not save you. And the faith that does not respond to the grace of God will bring conviction. But put your faith in what God has already done for you and you will have the victory that overcomes the world.

Dry your tears to your Lord!
We all need comfort in special moments of our lives. One day, your heart has been broken by the loss of a being, a disappointment, a failure. You paid copious tears. You unleash your feelings of sadness or anger. You do not deny your pain and that you were healthy. There is a time that God gives you to cry, but there is also a season to dry her tears, being comforted and restored. There will be times when your heart will be overwhelmed with sorrow, but God wants you to meet according to his word. If you do not understand the way that you go through, it may give you a revelation about some situations, but this is not always the case. However, you will always be his presence and love in times of trial. He wants to pour out your heart in perfect peace who will help you through the valley of tears and emerge strengthened.Grief is past due that we can not change, so what the worry? Rather try to make our trials, our mistakes, our weaknesses a strength to move forward. Anxiety is caused by fear of the future, what good is it torture? The destiny of each of us is drawn; the worries, it prevents us from living in the present, and we are therefore subject to a terrible waste of time, let us use this time of life that God has given us down here to work, work and more work without looking back, the door of repentance is wide open to us to make the necessary therefore shut the door to satan and his suggestions to polish our hearts and strengthen us in our religion, never lose sight of our real goal, which is not on this earth, but that is obviously the Last House. then drown our sorrow, sadness and others, in the Remembrance of God, ask forgiveness for the past and write a new page in maximizing the benefits of this present time and even more valuable is given.

the vision
God gives us a vision first, and then we brought down in the valley, we hammer until the vision has taken shape us. It is in this valley that so many of us falter and lose foot. Every vision will one day, if we have the patience to wait. Let us know that God has the time. He did not press. We, on the contrary, terribly rushed and impatient. Enlightened by the splendor of the vision received, we put on, but the vision has not yet become a reality in us. Therefore God leads us into the valley and make us go through fire and water, to mold us until we are ready to receive what he wanted to give us. From the moment we had the vision, God began to work for us in its ideal form, but we constantly escape from his hands and trying to get ourselves shape our way. The vision that God has given us is not a dream, but a revelation of what God wants us to be. Let it turn you on, as the potter, and you shape at will, and it is certain that you will comply with the vision he has given you. While working, do not lose patience.

Watch your words
If we do not learn to keep his word, our faith is worthless. If we want our faith to act in our favor, we must believe in our words as well as in our heart... if someone SAYS ... and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he said happens, it (he said) will be granted. If we do not learn to keep his word, our faith will not sleep I keep my word. Otherwise, it would affect my spiritual life. I always said the truth, I will not tell anyone that I am happy to meet if it is not true. think of something to say without violating my conscience. I will not lie point, as this will affect my faith.The man has a responsibility for his words. I have the ability to build or destroy my future. My success depends on my tongue, the fruit of my mouth. Proclaim the words of life for our future, for our children, for our church. Since we are created in the image of God, our words proclaim the oracles of God. We need to use words to create, to change, to move. Use the wisdom that God has given you. Train your tongue, so that it is obedient to His Word. Then, when you need it most, you will see that the Word dwells in you in all His wealth.

The true servant
The true servant must know that all the patience, all the softness and support he showed in devoting themselves to others are nothing more than his duty, nothing more than what he should do. In the beginning, God created man just to make it his servant, and the sin of man was precisely to deny that. Also, to be rehabilitated, it must be again restored to the position of a slave. By accepting it, it does nothing remarkable, since it has been created and saved for this purpose. Thus is the way of the Cross is the way that the only real slave, Jesus drew for us. We refuse to follow in his footsteps and be the slave of the Divine Slave? This path down, down forever, and this is why it seems hard, impossible to follow. But be assured, this is the only path that climbs. It is in this way that the Lord came to the throne. This is the only way by which we also arrive at the spiritual power, authority godly fertility. Those who tread this path are radiant soul, happy, it overflows with life from above. In each of us there is a proud, stiff-necked. This neck began to stiffen in the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve, who were always subject to the will of God, rebelled, demanded their independence, seeking to be like gods.Throughout the Bible, God accuses His people have stiff neck, yet we also: hard and we are outraged, and could easily offended. We chafe, we envy, criticize, and we refuse to forgive and keep grudges. We are fighting for ourselves and trying to accomplish through our own efforts that should be left to God. We lenient ourselves-and how often this leads us to uncleanness! All these things and many others have their source in our me proud. If Christ really replaced us, we would not have these reactions. Before we can go on the heights of the way of holiness, God must bend and break me, so that Christ may reign in his stead. Be broken, it means having no more rights or to God, or to men, not just abandon them, but recognize that we have none, except that of merit hell. This means no longer possess anything of its own, no time, no money, no property or position.

keeps an endless hope
Remember that this is not what happens to you that counts, but rather, it is how you react to what happens to you that counts. You can not change an event, but you can change your attitude towards this event. Adversity is not an end in itself, but rather the beginning of an endless hope because without testing there is no certificate. Hard times do not last, only tough men, facing hard times. Setbacks, difficulties and tragedies of this life and the human condition can not undo what God wants to do for us and through us. God wants each of us to make our generation heroes, heroes for modern times who so desperately need. The difference between great people and ordinary people is in the hope that they add to their life, their spiritual consecration to God and dedication to others. Witnesses of God of all times have experienced this important truth in their relationship with God. The enemy of God plan for our lives advantage of waiting time to sow doubts in our mind, comparison and confusion. Sometimes he puts into the mouths of people close to us embarrassing questions ...You swear to God. God will accomplish what his mouth gave your life. keep this endless hope. God has promised that seems too big and impractical as you see from your current condition. One who made the promise has the power and ability to perform. It will strive to give the order and the nature, world leaders and the institution to make its contribution to promise on your life happen. You'll see your eyes, your heart will rejoice and you shall give glory to God.
Barriers to Spiritual Mind
Our thoughts influence our attitudes, our actions and attitudes affect our actions become habits and habits become a way of life. Therefore, our enemy wants to control our thoughts control our thoughts ... If he can defeat us and keep us in bondage.
If we want to advance in the Christian life, we must solve this problem. It is impossible to keep impure thoughts and to grow spiritually! For there to be a change in our lives, we must first change our minds ... Someone said: Your attitude determines your altitude. If we want to win, you must learn to control our thoughts ...Obstacles to spiritual thinking have two sources: external Origins and Origins internal.
External obstacles preventing us from thinking spiritually. Satan can interfere with our thoughts and we stop thinking healthily: It is in Gen. 3: 1, the snake came to sow doubt in the heart of Eve, by suggesting misconceptions ... It casts doubt on the veracity of the Word of God. It calls into question the character of God. Do not let the world sink you into its mold ... we have to constantly point to the Word of God, that we believe and accept. IT COMES FROM GOD IT OR THIS WORLD IN WHICH I LIVE?
At our conversion, we brought with us all the habits and ways of thinking that were embedded in our personality! That is why we need to be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind ...
In addition, we are constantly bombarded by messages, philosophies and values of the present system, contrary to the Christian faith. That is why we must be careful with the things we are exposed because they influence us and create a feeling in our brains ...Our flesh can interfere with our thoughts and we stop thinking healthily: Our flesh is that part of ourselves that is selfish and has grown up learning to be independent of God. This is why the Bible wants us to be constantly alert for the things of the flesh. His message is clear: We must no longer submit to his impulses. Christians need to submit all his life in the light of God so that there is no place left in the dark. Otherwise, a Christian walk AS the Gentiles ... This is what Paul says:You must no longer live as the Gentiles ...If we win the battle for our minds, we have converted intelligence. But once it is converted must refrain from any corruption and have a whole thought to Christ.

Divine influence and value
God longs for her children alike. I do not know a parent who would otherwise. This is why from the beginning, he created us in his image. The Bible teaches us that man looked exactly like his father (God). That is to say, he had thoughts of Christ, the feelings that are in Christ, he spoke as God, he was with power and authority as God, his face was radiant with the glory of God. When the animals were in the presence of Adam, they bowed before his majesty. The man had dominion over all creation. He uttered just one word, and the thing he wanted appeared. He lived in the Glory of God. Simply because it looked like God. That is Divine influence.
Is it still possible today, you and I were experimenting with this dimension of God presence in our lives? The answer is YES. Because the Bible teaches us that even if the first Adam lost the glory, the second Adam (Jesus) came to die on the cross for us to give back. So if you are in Christ, you are now a new creation, created a new in the image and likeness of God. So you can again experience the kingdom and dominion, or Divine influence in your life. (1 Corinthians 5: 17). The Bible teaches us in this passage if our minds are renewed, we become aware of the spiritual realities of the world of God (Kingdom of God) and we know the will of God at all levels of our lives. We need to be more aware of God presence in our lives, and not continue to believe that demons, sorcerers act in our lives as they see fit. God has given us the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, anointing and even he placed angels around us to serve. The problem with Christians today is that they are more aware of the world of darkness. They do not realize that they are the son of God (their identity). They often forget that God governs, for their influence and control. No demon, no sorcerer, or even Satan can not touch us without God permission. And when God sometimes allows that touches us, it is never to harm us, but it is still seen to achieve a specific purpose in our: transform us into His image and likeness.
If Christ influences our lives, we too will be able to influence our environment (both physical and spiritual). Thus, we will suffer more life, but we will take control of events in life. That is the rule!

transforming a nation
An insult to God
Our lamentations about our incompetence is an insult to our Creator, if we accuse him of not taking care of us. Make it a habit to examine the spiritual point of view all these words which seem full of modesty, and you will be amazed how much they are irrelevant with respect to God. "I would not say, of course, I attained holiness, I'm not a saint!" Saying that before God means: "Lord, it is quite impossible for you to save me and sanctify me, I n 'I had no luck, I miss so many things in my body and in my mind, no, Lord, it is not possible! "this may seem a humble attitude in the eyes of men, but it is to despise God openly. On the other hand, what will be humble before God may seem arrogant in the eyes of men. If you say:
"Thank you, Lord, by your grace, I know that I am saved and sanctified," that is for the most perfect humility God, since you are totally abandoned him, and you believe in his word. Do not you worry about whether what you tell people the impression of humility or not, but be humble before God, and let him be just you.
One thing is important to you, it is your personal communion with your Redeemer and Savior. Let go of everything else, but keep at all costs this vital relationship, and God will fulfill his purpose for you. For one human life can be invaluable for God in the fulfillment of its purposes. And your life can be this life.

Love to serve
God bless the most important work if love is a stranger, but he takes pleasure in doing things for love. A cup of cold water given to one of his children for his sake, is more valuable to him than the conquest of a kingdom, inspired by ambition and vainglory.When we love someone, we are not constantly draw attention to its shortcomings. It has rightly been said: There is no lack of treatises on eloquence, but, curiously, it is not one that indicates the true secret of true eloquence, this secret is love. Who is to say that if we truly love our Master, we would not succeed to reach the masses, which now seem beyond our reach? There is not a drunkard, there is no creature guilty, there is no atheist that we can do good. Atheists can not resist the power of love. It was he, and not the reasoning, reverse atheism and all other false systems. It is the love of Christ that will break the most hardened heart.
To reach men, we must love them a lot. Whatever their degree of guilt or indifference or ingratitude they fell down some, we must first and foremost love them. Love is the sap of the Gospel is the secret of all preaching strong and vibrant, is the inspiration of the most powerful eloquence. The goal of all preaching is to bring God the hearts of men, and only love knows how to discover the mysterious paths that lead to the heart. So if you do not have a strong love and deep compassion for humanity, be sure that you have not received the gift of Christian eloquence. You will not succeed in winning souls, you will never gain the domination of all excellent, domination is exerted on the heart of man. An Arab proverb says:The sword is bending the neck, but the heart is only bend the heart. "We can not resist love.If we want to learn how to win souls, if we want to be useful in the service of our Master, we must get rid of this cursed spirit of rivalry and self-esteem. This is the essence of the thought of St. Paul in this passage from his Epistle to the Corinthians. They said we have a lot of good faith and zeal, and distribute many alms, if we did not love, it is like sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. If this is not love that inspires and fulfills all our speeches, we would do much good to the souls of the sounding of the trumpet in the pulpit preaching sermons. We can tell the truth and can teach the evangelical doctrine in its purity, if the heart is not filled with love for those to whom it is addressed, if it is preached by profession, says the apostle, it is a tinkling cymbal.What we need is not so much more work than working for a better reason. God recognizes mobile makes us act, rather than our outdoor activity. The only tree on earth that can produce fruit pleasing to God is the tree of love..It can be very good doctor like his patients. It can be very good lawyer without loving customers. A trader can make good business without worrying at all practices. A scientist can explain the wonders of science or theology without feeling the slightest love for us, but without love, it is impossible to work seriously for God and win souls. You can spend the eyes of the world to be a great preacher, you can draw a crowd by brilliant speech, if a sincere love for God and for souls is not the driving force behind all this eloquence, it will vanish like steam and as the morning dew. I am sure if we get to work with a heart full of love for those we want to reach, we will all lower the barriers before us. Love is born of love, even hatred gives birth to hatred. Love is the key to the human heart. Someone said:The light is made for intelligence, and love is for the heart. First win the affection of those you are trying to achieve, then it will be easy to bring them to Christ. Jesus Christ gave his disciples a rallying. Members of the same association are sometimes a blue ribbon, sometimes a red ribbon to recognize each other, the sign that Jesus Christ gave to his disciples, this is love:It is sign that all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.Love, not only for Christians, but for those who have fallen. The Good Samaritan had love for the poor traveler who had fallen into the hands of robbers. If we knew love like him, the world soon discover that we are the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. This kind of argument would have more power than any other to overcome unbelief and rebellion.
The atmosphere must change
There are days when we feel empty, dry, to be tormented and oppressed. Do not despair, it happened to everyone, even the "best" of Christians. But there is a quick and effective solution to overcome this situation. One man said: "You can not stop a bird from flying over your head but you can prevent them from nesting in your head." This is what we will discuss today.
Movement have in life is essential, it is high we appreciate life better. God told the children of Israel that the time to move forward and change levels rang.
Lesson 1; higher a man goes, the clearer things become and it becomes more accurate vision.
Lesson 2: higher you go further you'll see.
Lesson 3: there are things that only the height position allows us to see.
Lesson 4: the perception of a man in life is related to the level of altitude. the most important thing in life is not the fact of getting to the top, but how to keep and what keeps us in this success are not our gifts and multitude of activities and securities but our character and discipline learned in school of the Lord.

Happy New Year
We are carrying a message, the Gospel, the Word of God, living and active! Our duty is to share, so that the faith born in the hearts! A prophetic message of encouragement that will motivate your faith in the beginning of 2013.

You can make a difference in all aspects of your life (social, occupational, marital, family, school ...) and we know that you are men and women of another species, another race. The chosen race (aside): one that passes through the fire, but not consumed, which captures snakes without any harm happens to him, one that speaks to the rocks and the water gushes in the desert , which speaks to the storm stops, yes the race of those who, when they have nothing to eat throw the net where everyone has caught nothing, but make a miraculous catch. a breed of distinction! Which needs money when opening the belly of a fish and finds the necessary financial provision for his need, the race of those that the evil does not (because they are born of God), the race of those who are truly born again, that the nature of God and operate in the supernatural race of those who the identity of Christ, which are known of God, feared by the devil and reveal Christ to the world . The men and women of distinction are people with a character of distinction, a distinction of language and behavior distinction. They weddings of distinction, are homes of distinction, give birth to children of distinction in positions of distinction in society, build ministries distinction and carry a message of distinction. This is what God wants from you this year. Take this idea and runs with it prophetic year for the fulfillment of your destiny.
