…And this year?

A new year, … new opportunities. With that thought we end and start every year, “This year I’ll finally dareto preach on the streets” “This year I will not give up so fast” “This is my year!” “It is God’s time in my life” “This year I will start with a fast of 30 days” “This year I will pray more” “This year I will not get tired until my whole family has accepted the Lord, I won’t stop praying for them”….It seems like everything starts with “this year”, because apparently all bars of dreams, goals, purposes, are reset … We have new resolutions + the above we have failed to achieve.I wonder when we will actually take that step of faith, I guess we haven’t heard enough this verse of the bible “For people,it is impossible to achieve, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).I’m going to make it clear, I will repeat the same thing they tell us… well… all the time. Words that we like, but however we do not accept ..: “God created you to do great things, to reflect His glory in you, so you’re a faithful image of its essence, to showcase his love, his blessing and share with everyone around you. “

That seems a prophecy for your life .. very beautiful .. But what if you take it as a resolution? Your purpose is to live in constant communion with God, but to achieve this we must show his love, his peace, his joy. Share these feelings, when you do that, the restwill be added.

It’s time you give that step of faith to the front, when you decide, not all will be happiness and joy, ‘cuz the enemy is lifted against you. If you found no problems now before you’ll find. Your mother, your father, your brother, your spouse, your son, … will make you angry, will point you, try to get you out of communion, .. because that is devil’s goal: to get you away from the path of God, a narrow and difficult path.

But be strong and believe, that good things will come for the ones that do so.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving.. so powerful subject that can be said in on post, that’s why I have to keep talking about it. A couple days ago I heard about Jonah a man that disobeyed the Lord ((As we do constantly)), and got his punishment; but We’ve got to say something the man knew how to pray and to praise the Lord, just read here on Jonah 2: 6-9:

To the roots of the mountains I sank down; 
   the earth beneath barred me in forever. 
But you, LORD my God, 
   brought my life up from the pit.

“When my life was ebbing away, 

   I remembered you, LORD, 
and my prayer rose to you, 
   to your holy temple.

“Those who cling to worthless idols 
   turn away from God’s love for them. 
But I, with shouts of grateful praise, 
   will sacrifice to you. 
What I have vowed I will make good. 
   I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the LORD.’”

And well you already know the rest of the story, just there the fish vomited Jonah. But let’s study his prayer, if we read since the beginning of his prayer :

“In my distress I called to the LORD, 
   and he answered me. 
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, 
   and you listened to my cry. Jonah 2:2

You do realize that the man was still inside the fish? But he was praying as if he was already out!!! When you pray do not pray in defeat mode… Pray in thanks mode.. Thanks the Lord for what you already HAVE!! 

Jonah proved to be a wise man after all, in the mids of his situation inside of a big fish he was thanking the Lord, be cause HE had replied to his call! Ohhh Glory to the Lord!

And so Paul remarks it to us again in Philippians 4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Ohh Just Thank the Lord in every moment!! Gloryy to your name Jesus!
