EFFORT AFTER And these all, having obtained a good testimony through faith, received not the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that would not be made perfect apart from us.
Some years later, after delivering his last speech "I have been at the top of the mountain", after saying: "I've seen the promised land, my eyes have seen the glory of the Lord, a lunatic shot giving end his life, April 4, 1968, for more than 20 years had served his ministry, his race, his ideology on social work. For over 20 years proclaiming the mercy of God and redemption through Jesus Christ. And what of your life? The Psalm 90.5-7 reads: "As the grass that grows in the morning. In the morning blooms and grows, in the evening is cut and dried. Because we are consumed with your anger and your wrath we are troubled. " 'And who could not even bear the wrath and fury of God?, Although we believe that God is slow to anger, abounding in love. He said what will not?, Spoke "and will not run? He concludes this passage by saying: I received orders to bless, God gave blessing and I can not reverse. Numbers 23.19-20 That's life. Dr. King said I have no fear of death because my Savior and the beat, I'd be afraid of not fulfilling what God has entrusted me. And so ended his life in an instant, using extreme violence, while perhaps forgotten today, but for many preachers helped us to write examples in the models of oratory. Several years ago had said this speech, this piece of oratory by 90% in a youth cult, having some differences with the then young people older than me when they thought they had made a speech had exalted himself and egotism that Dr. King had said in his speech "I have a dream", so I have not replicated his piece of oratory, but only I tried to take the sense that God had inspired him to write so very powerful words, that even the current president USA, has taken as a major part in his inauguration speech in protest. This discourse beyond the mere fact of being seen and expressed in time of racism and opposition had been based on Christian liberty, but once the holy week, once again recalling the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, this man was the subject of inspiration, hence the words "free, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last", and as it was in Peter's speech to be invested with the power of the Holy Spirit there too his words, Acts 2.40 . "... Be saved from this perverse generation." And now is our time, now things are clearly not equal, are worse, natural events are not equal, are worse, the holy scripture is fulfilled when he says: "... and then will rise against parents and children against children parents, brothers against brothers, but that will not let the father, mother, brothers, is not worthy of me ... " Matthew 10.37 , now at this time has shown us that we are upsetting the unclean spirits that we have communion with God, now we are opening the sky and rain began to pour grace and blessing, now approaching the time of prophetic fulfillment as described in the book of Hebrews and that passage has served as an introduction to this discussion, but I further and read from v.32, Chapter 11 : "And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel and the prophets who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire , escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness, became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. Women received their dead by resurrection, but others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and of chains and prisons. They were stoned, sawn, tested, killed by the sword, they went back and forth in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, tormented, of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts, the mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good testimony through faith, received not the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that would not be made perfect apart from us. " And here we set, because no reflection on the Lord may be incomplete, because the Lord can know the depths of the spiritual world through the Holy Spirit's presence, because then we will know the feeling that caused so great and very powerful words emanating from the lips of men so famous throughout history. Because if we understand why so many witnesses, then we will understand that the words of Dr. King (inspired by the Holy Spirit) make sense, we understand that the words of Peter or the author of Hebrews (inspired by the Holy Spirit) have therefore believes that it makes sense to be here today because you love God and love his work and serve and you've given everything, even though you've been defamed, have cursed you, you've been called a Pharisee, and hypocritical for love the service and the work of God, but love is what God has bound and chained you to this lifestyle, different, different from the rest of the world (the passion of Christ) but as the testimony of all these men come time to say why?, why? So much suffering, if life should not be so difficult, because so much pain, if the work of God should not have so many obstacles, and yet there is a force that drives you to stand in the pulpit to share the word of God , share the wealth if you're in financial trouble, you stand before his people to say that there is joy and happiness around you but there are problems and disagreements, "but Lord if you have promised all that," Why are more and more problems? Fellow humans do not understand my reasoning is not clear, my professional life is frustrated by not knowing or feeling that support is not wanted (as you felt the old men) but really needed. And finally load and help carry so many little things in people who have not wanted to learn the spiritual world and thus be chained and stuck in something that is becoming muddy and muddy, so muddy and muddy as not like, nor do , or even say, muddy and muddy as jealousy, envy and strife ... but there are opportunities, there are possibilities: 1 given to the world, its pride and consequence of their actions, or 2nd suffer hardship, suffering insults, profanity, suffer to the extent of disease and pain giving Glory and Honor to God, and yet still wait until the last moment of last breath of our life that keep his word when he says of writing: "It would What if I did not believe to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living ", wait, wait, believe, trust ... In God, in his work, in fact, in his resurrection because scripture says that if we believe in resurrection our faith is not in vain, because if we believe in his resurrection we believe in the veracity of his teachings, we believe in his work in the power of the Holy Spirit in the person of Christ and his redemptive work, we believe that it inspires us our life, but above all things, we believe that someday return and we will go with him and we will have new bodies and the dead in Christ shall rise, to the glory of God, because that is his word, because those are his promises. Perhaps many others have thought and have suffered the same pain, and perhaps in his life received a reward, there are examples of those lots, but such examples as we begin to live not everyone can receive. But you know, I hope, I think, I hope that one day, there will come a time in this earth can say that you are a friend of God, you're a king and priest of God, you are a child of God, not because it is today, but by conviction of the greatness of God in the life of any human being, believing that all men at some time have felt God's presence. I hope to see the moment where sickness, sorrow and pain have no impact on humans avoid them, at this time in this century ... maybe ask for much, maybe impossible to ask, but is not God is a God of the impossible? , is not God is a God beyond the natural?, is not God is a God of wonders? ... if you can believe if your faith is the size of a mustard seed. Peter believed, John thought, Abraham believed and was told they were for justice, Dr. King believed, the author of Hebrews believed and wrote at the end of Chapter 11 "... even they did not achieve what was promised, received not the promise ..." and they are all the characters in the Bible, because God has loved us, greater than or equal to all in life is promised, because those who have achieved the promise we are the Gentiles, God's redeemed, purchased sections and with the precious blood of the Lamb slain, we have not given back or step back, we have supported everything that has already been mentioned, we are faithful and believe that in this life we see our Saviour rising from the dust, and we will look at these eyes, in our flesh we see the greatness of God. This is what comes after the effort in the work of God: "your reward," "the desire of your heart", "responses to your requests," the blessings and prosperity of God in everything you do "," in your flesh for the fullness and perfection in spirit "and finally" with your eyes to see who gave you life, "perhaps not in that order, perhaps not in the same sense that to happen to Peter crucified upside down or Juan Pablo exiled or beheaded or killed James, perhaps not as Dr. King killed by a firearm, but says writing in Romans 8.22-27 "For we know that all creation groans, and one is in travail so far, and not only this, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. For in hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope: for what he sees, why wait? But if we hope to not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly. And likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness as what we should pray for as we do not know, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words. But he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because according to the will of God intercedes for the saints "HALLELUJAH Are you expecting something?, Are you waiting for something? I do. Longing to see Eben ezer full of power and the power of God, longing to see their members baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, I long to see perfectly the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, I long to see that there are no more jealousy, envy, strife, longing to see that there are no more disease, more sadness no more pain, I long to see the response and resolution to requests for prayers offered in this place, I long to see 10% of the population of the City and area Metropolitan saved according to the promise he made to his servant. Longing to see God even though he dies longing in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another, lthough my heart yearns within me. Longing to let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. But if it did, if this is done in a green tree, "in the dry, will not? And once again we find ourselves at the threshold of a special anointing, the Lord tells us that if you were faithful, how much I'm going to put on, the Lord tells us once again: "waiting for the Lord, be strong and let your heart, it waits for the Lord " Believe it, believe in his resurrection, believes in his testimony to power, what with your physical eyes can see God? R = No!, Then what are you waiting, waiting with patience, and patience does not disappoint, and even more if you wait for the fulfillment of the great power of his works, it means you have not reached the fullness of this works great Church but have felt its power and move into our hearts, have you seen what the Lord has prepared, and you're feeling? R = No!, Because if we had already, to wait. But God has provided something BETTER for us, so that we be perfect together with Him. But here I show you a more excellent way |
