“For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?

But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it. "

(Romans  8: 24-25)

​

     Biblical guidance is not to deviate from the Word of God either to the left or to the right, meaning not to be guided by the circumstances that the world tries to impose on the christian life, through practices that contradict the Holy Bible. Not that it is easy to combat such practices, their cunning methods, contrary to our faith. But it is fully possible to resist.     

 

    The scientist Arvid Carlsson (Nobel Prize in Medicine - 2000) said in his studies of the human brain, contributing to a more accurate understanding of the molecular functioning of that body: "To believe in God is in the genes, and it is the natural way of living of people". Arvid Carlsson (Scientist and Nobel Prize in Medicine, 2000).

 

      The scientist referred to the religious character of the human being: Reconnect the creature to the Creator. However, as children of God (John 1: 12), designed in the cross of Christ, dare to go further, referring to the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Even in a difficult environment, with the world's system of trying all diverts it from the road ways, we must always be ready to give the reason for our faith.

 

"But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride."

(1 Peter  3:15)

 

     The children of God (John 1:12) have in their genes the belief in God, a natural way of living, and the Holy Spirit who gives them the spiritual gifts to fight the faith. Example, the gift of faith. However, it is advised that before entering this combat you develop a vision of the kingdom, long-term vision, vision of eternity, vision of Salvation in Jesus.

​

     "Faith, one of the spiritual gifts of power, is motivated by conviction, according to the eternal vision of life, enabling to stay in the plan of God's will. It means to believe in God's promises, no doubt, whatever the circumstances." (Extracted from the book, Cristologia ao seu Alcance, 2010).

​

       With the vision of the kingdom on the rise in your life, it is possible to visualize everything else that you are entitled to by the work of Jesus on the cross: Salvation, Liberation, Healing, Prosperity and Peace. As long as you persevere in the Word of Christ, God's promises are will fulfill in your life, reaching future generations. Today, even if you do not understand the situation around you, and the circumstances insist want to deflect it from the path, firm position in Jesus.

 

        Our victory is in the Name of Jesus, Our Hope.

 

“For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?

But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it. "

(Romans  8: 24-25)

 

We are the righteousness of God, in Christ
