Do you still believe in God's promises? Do they still believe in what is written in the Bible, or do we simply consider pleasant words like so many others?
The one who is powerful to do everything much more abundantly beyond what we ask or think, according to the power that operates in us,
To that glory in the church, through Jesus Christ, in all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3: 20-21
When we get used to anything good, at a certain moment we even forget that they cost a price. But friends, many things can be renewed or replaced, others can not.
One day, Jesus asked his disciples:
"Who do men say to be the Son of Man?" Responding they said: some, John the Baptist: others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets, Gospel of Matthew 16: 13-14.
"And you, who do you say who I am?" Verse 15.
The question for many still remains: But who is Jesus finally?
But we children of God, that one day we accept him in our heart, we know him. We are available and prepared to obey you. May our response be similar to that of the Apostle:
"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Or even as Isaiah: Send me Lord!
#When Jesus called his disciples, he entrusted them with a mission:
"Jesus sent these twelve and commanded them, saying, 'You shall not go in the way of the nations, nor enter a city of Samaritans: but first, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel: and, going, they preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven has come, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, expel the demons, grace you received, grace from there, Gospel of Matthew 10: 5-6-7-8.
Great and powerful message, ordered by the Master of Galilee.
This challenge is for today too. The Church that is still on earth is still responsible for this mission: IDE. The Master's orders do not change. The writer of Hebrews states:
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever." Hebrews 13: 8.
Do you believe that the Savior of the world still has the same authority and the same power today: over the forces of evil and over death? About diseases?
Let's have no doubts friends. He is with us ready to act. What He expects from theirs is one word: YES. I want you to enter in my life. Let him be invited to live in his heart.
How to get to God? Enter His Sanctuary? It is simple. The message of the Bible is clear:
"Let us come with a true heart, in all certainty of faith, having a purified heart." Hebrews 10:22.
Faith is the most precious thing that we can get. She is the "key" that opens the doors of heaven and hidden treasures that we do not know. It is also a source of valuable revelations.
That woman that the Bible speaks to us, healed by Jesus, sick after twelve years, was excluded from society. His faith earned him his freedom.
Their courage and faith broke down the barriers. There was in front of her the Giver of life: the Source of living water. These words were the reward:
"You have courage, daughter, your faith has saved you." Matthew 9:22.
Friend and lady, I do not know your life, but God knows all things. Maybe I'm going through difficult trials and, I, a servant of God, I do not want to take the responsibility: I did not announce it.
Through this verse I want to encourage you to persevere. If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, this is an excellent, perhaps the last opportunity.
Do not be intimidated by the enemy and his lies. Watch for your faith.
Nothing is impossible for God. Amen.
