Clama a Mim



Porque necessitais de paciência, para que, depois de haverdes feito a vontade de Deus, possais alcançar a promessa. -- Hebreus 10:36

OVale de Ossos Secos

Ezequiel 37: 1-4

Diz a Palavra que Deus conduziz o profeta a um vale chio de ossos secos. E Fez a seguinte pergunta:

- Filho do Homem, porventura viverao esses ossos??

Interessante foi a resposta do profeta. Nao se fala pra Dues que algo é impossível - mesmo que para os nossos olhos realmente seja.

Entao o profeta responde:

- Senhor Deus, tu o sabes.

Boa resposta. Queria dizer, "ok Senhor, se depedender de ti, ok, é possível"!

Aiii Deus ordena:

- Entao profetiza! E ai farei viver esses ossos!

Haha.. Agora pegou. Voce pode crer?? Eu vou profetizar sobre ossos? Sobre algo que já está morto e há muito tempo ainda!! Onde nao há mais nem resquício de esperanca?

Talvez a (sua) vida está resumida em um vale de ossos secos, mas ouca a Palavra de Deus:
- Profetiza e eu farei viver!

Não existe, na fácil navegação – quando o céu está límpido e
todo azul – emoção;
Não há, na mera repetição do que qualquer um pode fazer,
satisfação.
Existe, porém, um prazer imenso e doce de se realizar;
É quando se chega a um destino que se pensava impossível
alcançar.

Deus se importa com voce!

"Deus se importa com você. Não “deve se importar”, não “se importou um dia”, não “se importaria”, mas “Deus se importa”! Hoje. Neste momento. Neste minuto. Não é preciso esperar na fila ou voltar amanhã. Ele está com você. Não poderia estar mais próximo do que neste segundo. A lealdade dele não vai aumentar se você for melhor nem diminuir se
você for pior. Ele se importa com você." (Max Lucado)
Talvez estamos negligenciado a presenca de Deus conosco, minuto a minuto, na pessoa do Espírito Santo.
É bom entao lembrarmos disso, Deus se importa com voce. AGORA. Se voce errou, se vc acertou, se voce está triste, se voce está feliz, se voce está stressado, ou se está calmo, independente de como e onde esteja, Ele está aí!

Um bom dia pra voces!!

You Can Become Bold and Fearless

Bold: to be brave, daring, courageous, intrepid, valiant.

God is calling us to be bold. If you have the tendency to not take chances in life because you're afraid of making mistakes, God wants you to know He's pleased with you when you try. It doesn't matter if you don't do everything exactly right. What matters is that you step out in faith, believing God will help you!

Second Timothy 1:7 says that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power—and He wants us to use it! It doesn't take courage to do what we already know we can do. True courage is displayed when you're afraid to do something but you go ahead and do it anyway. The truth is, we don't ever have to fear because we can ask God for His help anytime we need it.


Taking the Focus Off of Performance


There are so many people who are so afraid of making a mistake that they don't do anything. Instead, they sit around saying, "What if I'm wrong?" Well, we're human. We're going to make mistakes and look silly from time to time.

We can be so afraid of being judged or criticized or getting laughed at. But the only thing fear does in our lives is stop our progress.

What matters to God is relationship…not performance. God knows we aren't perfect, and He's totally okay with it. The problem is, the devil knows it too, and he does his best to tell us every step of the way!

We can be going along, serving God, doing good, stepping out in faith and then all of a sudden, without there being any justification for it, we'll have a day or week when we have an attack on our mind about fear. That's when we need to say what God's Word tells us:

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. — 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 NIV


Honesty Outweighs Perfection



We can care too much about what people think of us to the point where it totally immobilizes us and we are petrified about looking wrong. But do you know what? I think if we are more truthful, we will actually get more respect than we do by trying to hide everything, pretending we're perfect.

I believe one of the main reasons people like to listen to me is that I tell all my junk. It helps them to relax, to relate to me, and offers them hope that if I can do some of the things I've done and make it, so can they.

We need to stop living in fear of making mistakes, because we will make mistakes—period. God is not asking us to not make any mistakes. He's calling us to be bold—fearless in approaching Him, in stepping out in faith, and in trusting Him to lead us.

God Is Speaking. Are You Listening?

But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
—John 16:13

God's greatest desire for His children is that they experience His best in their lives, and that includes being able to hear clearly from Him in an intimate, personal way.

God longs to have a people who worship Him in Spirit and in truth (see John 4:23-24), who follow Him and know His voice (see John 10:2-14). The depth of our personal relationship with God is based upon intimate communication with Him. He speaks to us so that we are guided, refreshed, restored, and renewed regularly.

Listening is the first step toward hearing. I encourage you to turn your ear toward Him and be still. He will speak to you and tell you He loves you. God cares about your life and wants to meet your needs and do more than you could ever think or imagine in order to bless you abundantly (see Ephesians 3:20).

You are one of His sheep, and the sheep know the Shepherd's voice— the voice of a stranger they will not follow. You can hear from God; it is part of your inheritance—don't ever believe otherwise! Listen to Him, then follow Him all of the days of your life.
