Cold-Heart Faith

" See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12

So I was reading this verse today and I was thinking: Isn't this what is really happening inside the churches?? 

More and more people are letting their hearts be fulfilled of hatred, envy, anger, feelings..feelings. They are letting their faith grow cold because of spiritual pride.

But it all makes sense... in 2 Timothy 3:5 says: But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. ² People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, ⁴ treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." 

In other words, in the final days there will an increase of people leaving the Presence of God due to the evilness and unbelief of their hearts. That's why some many burned-out "christians" turn atheist... because they have let their unbelief (also worldly superstitions)  turn them away from the Living God.

So, dear readers, beware of your spiritual life! Don't let your heart fool you with emotions that will bring the unbelief and evilness to your life. Don't let your faith grow cold!!! That would only lead you towards an empty life away from God.

God bless,

Strong enough?

"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!" 1 Corinthians 10:12

Paul tell the church in Corinthians to be careful not to fall. That sounds like some common advice to give to any christian right? Well...yes, of course! Let's re-read it.... Paul says IF YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG...

Hmm... why would Paul say such thing? For the obvious reasons... a human being is naturally proud. Therefore if one thinks they are strong enough that makes them too proud to receive rebuke, to receive advice of any sort and even to ask God for help. 

They are not humble to recognize "the red flags" but instead they constantly they say "I know" or "Dont worry, I am strong". In reality we must always be on guard because the devil doesn't waste time. He only needs a tiny little space so he can get in your life!

So for all those who believe they are The Spiritual Superman....Be careful NOT TO FALL!

God bless,

He is Greater

"The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs." Hebrews 1:3-4

Jesus is not like any angel in heaven. He is greater. He is powerful.

Jesus showed and shows the character of God. In Him, we find the example for our lives. Jesus was perfect! Of course, we can never be like Him but we should yearn the same holiness the Son had. Through His character, the Father was glorified and His glory was reveal to all of us. 

The same way those who are truly God's children should have lives that show this world the Greatness and Glory of Our God.

Let's live like Jesus did

God bless,

21 days of Spiritual Cleaning

Hello readers,

I wanted to post here about this spiritual purpose I will start on Sunday. It's called 21 days of the fasting of Daniel.

As we know, Daniel was a man of prayer. "...he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before." Daniel 6:10 

Now the fast is not just about praying three times a day... it's much more than that. This fast is very different because we are not doing food fasting either. Instead we are doing 21 days of spiritual cleanse. Its like doing a spring cleaning on your communion with God. We will stay 21 days without getting involved with things of this world. 

We will not be watching TV, listening to worldly music, be in social networks like Facebook or Twitter unless is to share something that God has spoken to us... Instead we will use this time to seek the Holy Spirit,  read the Bible, read books that edify our lives like Nothing to Lose or V-Woman. We will be tuned in to IURDTV to listen to the messages Bishop Macedo. 

In other words, we will be turned off for this world to be tuned in to God's voice. Bishops, pastors, pastor's 

wives, assistants, Kids Zone teachers, YPG, even the kids will be in the same faith for 21 days. 

I believe it's going to be a blessing for all of us. This is a great opportunity for those who already are baptized to be renewed, Those who still haven't received the Holy Spirit to receive, those who are struggling with their 

deliverance to be delivered. In other words, this is a sacrifice where one can only benefit. So take this 

seriously and invest. I can tell you by experience that one haven't found love or peace until they met Jesus for 

themselves. Revolt against this situation and give everything you have. God is extremely interested in giving us 

His Spirit because He knows that without Him, we can't stay strong. Someone without the Holy Spirit has a expiration date.

So seek and pray because God is ready to pour out His Spirit upon us without limits. 

In this faith,

Bianca

The View

This is how it felt when I accepted Christ, like I was looking out at a new start, a beautiful mystery. 

How about you? How was your experience with God?

God bless :)

No Shame About It

Hello everyone, 

Today I want to share a message that it was preached this morning at church. It was very strong and it can be apply to all our lives regardless of what title you may hold.. 

The message was about sharing your faith regardless of what people might say or think. It was showed to us through the story of Zacchaeus. (Luke 19)

"Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. ² A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. ³ He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. ⁴ So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way." 

Now after reading these verses, we can see that Zacchaeus was a very important man. He definitely had a reputation to hold, after all he was the chief tax collector and very rich. However what is very interesting was that he wanted to see Jesus. He wanted to know who He was. So he ran up a tree( because he was short)  so he could see Jesus. He didn't care what people might say or think about his action. He wanted to see Jesus! Many people often want to please people so they never admit who they are. They live indecisively because they act as "Christians" at church but when it comes to share their faith with others... they feel shameful and they can't stand up for their beliefs. 

⁵ When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” ⁶ So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

⁷ All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”

So Jesus saw Zacchaeus' desire to know who He was. As always, there are the people who will talk about others and criticize. Often enough, those people criticize others because they want to hide their faults by pointing out the faults in others. Zacchaeus didn't care and I imagine he was extremely happy because Jesus was going to his house. Gladly, Zacchaeus wasn't influenced by what those people said. 

⁸ But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

The verses above are my favorite from this story because Zacchaeus rendered his life to Jesus right away. Regardless of who he was, a rich important man, he broke down his pride and he recognized that how he was living his life was wrong. Zacchaeus was humble and God was able to do His work in his heart. Zacchaeus was saved because he wasn't ASHAMED to accept God and change his ways. 

There will always be people who will criticize your faith and beliefs...but it is up to you to either be proud and hide it or have NO SHAME ABOUT IT.

God Bless,

Bianca
