Sermon: The Battle of Prayer!

 Pastor Eduardo preached: The Battle of Prayer

The Bible says: "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). This should be the motto of every follower of Christ Jesus. Never stop praying, however dark and hopeless your case may seem. In a battle we have to be ready to fight and win. Nothing can be in between, we can not be distracted by this world. The seductions of the flesh, materialism and other things make one weak spiritually unfit to win the battle of prayer, they end up being defeated.

The prayer battle is a spiritual battle, the person must be walking in spirit, being faithful God in everything. That will be prepared with the armor of God Ephesians 6: 10-18, in the battle position of faith.

The spiritual danger

We cannot serve money Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for he will despise one and love the other, or he will love one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and wealth. "

Remember that if the devil feels that your heart is materialistic, he will offer you the riches to destroy you. Remember the end of the rich in the history of the rich and Lazarus Luke 16: 19-31. The Parable of the Foolish Rich Luke 12:20 But God said to him: “Fool! Tonight they will claim your life. And who will keep what you have accumulated? ” 21 "This is the case with those who accumulate wealth for themselves, instead of being rich before God." And also of the end of the young rich Mark 10: 21-30 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said: «One thing is missing: go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then you come and follow me ». 22 But he, afflicted by these words, went away sad, because he owned many goods.23 Jesus, looking around, said * to His disciples: “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! ». 24 The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answering again, said to them *: «Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God [b]! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a [c] needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. ”26 They were even more astonished, saying among themselves [d]:“ And who can be saved? 

* He who saves himself to God and is faithful in everything and at all times can be saved. He who understands the spiritual danger of riches can overcome the battle of prayer. Jesus renounced the riches Matthew 4: 9 and said to him: All this I will give you, if you prostrate you will worship me.10 Then Jesus said to him: Go away, Satan, because it is written: To the Lord your God you will worship, and to him you will only serve.

 Jesus' prayer life, we notice the intensity with which He prayed. The New Testament says that, in Gethsemane, He cried out with a loud voice; that in the intensity of his supplication, he fell face down on the damp ground of the garden; He begged until his sweat was "like drops of blood" (Luke 22:44).

O poder da oração

Pastor Eduardo pregou: O poder da oração. Estamos presos em um fluxo histórico que não podemos controlar.

Nosso país insistiu que nós, com poder militar, nossa tremenda riqueza e nossas alianças com outros países, somos donos de nosso próprio destino, quando a história mostra que Deus foi quem projetou o curso dessa nação.

Existe apenas um poder que pode mudar o curso da história, e é O poder da oração: a oração de homens e mulheres que acreditam em Cristo e reverenciam a Deus.

De capa a capa da Bíblia, há histórias de pessoas cujas orações foram respondidas; pessoas que mudaram a direção da história através da oração; pessoas que oraram fervorosamente, e Deus respondeu. Abraão orou e, enquanto orava, Deus não destruiu a cidade de Sodoma, onde Ló, sobrinho de Abraão, vivia.Gênesis 18: 16-19: 27

Ezequias orou quando sua cidade foi ameaçada pelo exército assírio invasor comandado por Senaqueribe. Todo o exército de Senaqueribe foi destruído e a nação foi libertada por outra geração ... porque o rei havia rezado. 2 Reis 19: 14-19

Elias orou e Deus enviou fogo do céu para consumir a oferta de altar que ele havia construído na presença dos inimigos do Senhor. 1 Reis 18:38 Eliseu orou, e o filho dos sunamitas ressuscitou dos mortos. 2 Reis 4: 8-37 Jesus orou na entrada da tumba de Lázaro, e aquele que estava morto por quatro dias saiu vivo. João 11-12 O ladrão crucificado orou e Jesus assegurou-lhe que estaria com Ele no paraíso. Lucas 23: 42-43 Paulo orou, e as igrejas nasceram na Ásia Menor e na Europa Efésios 1:15-19. Pedro orou e Dorcas ressuscitou para servir a Jesus Cristo por mais alguns anos. Atos 9: 36-42

Hoje, porém, chegamos a um ponto em que muitas pessoas consideram a oração uma mera formalidade. Milhares de pessoas oram apenas em tempos de grande tensão, perigo ou incerteza. Cristo ensinou seus seguidores a orar sempre. Tão fervorosas e diretas foram as orações de Jesus que uma vez, quando terminou de orar, seus seguidores se aproximaram dEle e disseram: "Senhor, ensina-nos a orar" (Lucas 11: 1).

Que coisa gloriosa seria se milhões de nós fizessem uso do privilégio de orar! Jesus Cristo morreu para tornar possível essa comunhão e essa comunicação com o Pai.

The power of prayer

Pastor Eduardo preached: The power of prayer: We are caught in a stream of history that we cannot control.

Our country insisted that we, with military power, our tremendous wealth and our alliances with other countries, are the owners of our own destiny, when history shows that God was the one who designed the course of this nation.

There is only one power that can change the course of history, and it is The power of prayer: the prayer of men and women who believe in Christ and revere God.

From layer to layer of the Bible are stories of people whose prayers were answered; people who changed the direction of the story through prayer; people who prayed fervently, and God answered. Abraham prayed, and while he prayed, God did not destroy the city of Sodom, where Lot, Abraham's nephew, lived. Genesis 18: 16-19: 27

Hezekiah prayed when his city was threatened by the invading Assyrian army commanded by Sennacherib. The entire Sennacherib army was destroyed and the nation was freed for another generation ... because the king had prayed. 2 Kings 19: 14-19

Elijah prayed, and God sent fire from heaven to consume the altar offering he had built in the presence of the Lord's enemies. 1 Kings 18:38 Elisha prayed, and the son of the Sunamite rose from the dead. 2 Kings 4: 8-37 Jesus prayed by the entrance to the tomb of Lazarus, and he who had been dead for four days came out alive. John 11-12 The crucified thief prayed, and Jesus assured him that he would be with Him in paradise. Luke 23: 42-43 Paul prayed, and churches were born in Asia Minor and in Europe Ephesians 1:15-19. Peter prayed, and Dorcas rose again to serve Jesus Christ several more years. Acts 9: 36-42

But today, we have reached a point where many people consider prayer to be a mere formality. Thousands of people pray only in times of great tension, danger or uncertainty. Christ taught his followers to pray always. So fervent and direct were the prayers of Jesus that once, when He had finished praying, his followers approached Him and said, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11: 1).

What a glorious thing it would be if millions of us made use of the privilege of praying! Jesus Christ died to make this communion and this communication with the Father possible.

A conexão da fé em Deus!

Pastor Eduardo pregou:  A conexão da fé em Deus A conexão entre fé em Deus e fé em sua promessa ficará clara para nós se considerarmos o que realmente é a fé. É frequentemente comparado com a mão ou a boca, por isso pegamos e usamos o que nos foi dado.

É do meu conhecimento que a promessa é que a fé na promessa depende. Uma vez que Deus é Um, nada acontece por acidente; remova o véu da natureza que mascara Sua presença e você encontrará Deus por trás da cortina. Mantenha os olhos abertos e peça a sua família e amigos que compartilhem suas melhores histórias da providência divina com você.

Eu tenho que ouvir a pessoa que me faz a promessa, porque o tom de sua voz me dá coragem para acreditar: "Portanto, fé é ouvir, e ouvir, a palavra de Deus". Romanos 10:17.

Mas é importante entendermos que a fé também é o ouvido, que podemos ouvir o que foi prometido e o olho pelo qual vemos o que é oferecido. A capacidade de beber depende disso.

Eu tenho que ver isso, porque a luz em seu rosto derrete todas as minhas dúvidas sobre o meu direito de tirar. O valor de uma promessa depende da promessa. A fé cristã não é fé cega, é uma fé confirmada, comprovada e manifestada por meio de Cristo; Embora na Bíblia nos seja ensinado a confiar no que não vemos (Hebreus 11: 1), o que não vemos são as promessas de Deus, nas quais os homens antigos de Deus confiavam e, por causa deles, eles puderam fazer grandes coisas; da mesma forma, confiando e obedecendo a Deus, e não aos homens, essas promessas serão cumpridas infalivelmente também em nossas vidas. É vê-lo pela fé com o espírito.

Eu tenho que acreditar: as pessoas que você mais ama são as que mais confiam e vice-versa. Pense em algo que o preocupa, que gera medo e angústia - sejam pressões financeiras ou resultados de um exame médico - e solte o medo e confie em Deus. "Lance seu fardo sobre Deus e ele o sustentará" (Salmos, 55:22). Tente sentir que Deus está atrás de você. Ele está ciente da sua dificuldade. Ele tem o poder de ajudá-lo e quer ajudá-lo. Nada é grande ou pequeno demais para Ele. Portanto, pare de se preocupar; tudo estará bem. Deus não te abandonou; Ele está aqui segurando você pela mão.

Ter fé em Deus, é primeiro acreditar que existe e depois acreditar no que você disse. A Bíblia diz: "Hebreus 11: 6 E sem fé é impossível agradar a Deus; pois é necessário que quem se aproxima de Deus acredite que ele existe, e que ele é uma recompensa para aqueles que O buscam". Em suma, fé é ter convicção, convencer-se de algo ou alguém. A fé nos torna crentes, nos torna filhos de Deus, nos salva, a fé é a nossa conexão com Cristo Jesus.

Tenha coragem e siga em frente! Nunca perca a fé em Jesus, ele é o único que pode ajudá-lo.

Confie! embora tudo neste momento pareça ruim, porque sua vitória com Ele está garantida e será ótima. JESUS ​​ESTÁ COM VOCÊ! Acredite Nele como a coisa mais importante neste mundo.

The connection of faith in God!

Pastor Eduardo predicó: La conexión de la fe en Dios La conexión entre la fe en Dios y fe en su promesa se convertirá en claro para nosotros si tenemos en cuenta lo que es realmente la fe. A menudo se compara con la mano o la boca, por lo que tomamos y utilizamos lo que se nos ha dado. 

Es de mi conocimiento de lo que la promesa es que la fe en la promesa depende. Dado que Dios es Uno, nada ocurre por accidente; remueve el velo de la naturaleza que enmascara Su presencia y encontrarás a Dios detrás de la cortina. Mantén tus ojos abiertos y pídeles a tus familiares y amigos que compartan sus mejores historias de providencia Divina contigo. 

Tengo que escuchar a la persona que me da la promesa porque el tono de su voz me da ánimos para creer.“Así que la fe es por el oír, y el oír, por la palabra de Dios.”, Romanos 10:17. 

Pero es importante que entendamos que la fe es también el oído, en que podamos escuchar lo que se prometió y el ojo por el cual vemos lo que se ofrece. La facultad de tomar depende de ello.

Tengo que verlo porque la luz de su rostro se funde todas mis dudas sobre mi derecho a tomar. El valor de una promesa depende del prometedor. La fe cristiana no es fe ciega, es una fe confirmada, comprobada y manifestada por medio de Cristo; aunque se nos enseña en la Biblia a tener confianza en lo que no vemos (Hebreos 11:1), eso que no vemos son las promesas de Dios, en las cuales confiaron los antiguos hombres de Dios y por causa de ellas fueron capaces de hacer grandes cosas; así mismo, al confiar y obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres, estas promesas se cumplirán indefectiblemente también en nuestras vidas. Es verlo por la fe con el espíritu. 

Tengo que créelo Las personas que más amas son las personas en quienes más confías, y viceversa. Piensa en algo que te preocupa, que te genera temor y angustia —ya sea presiones financieras o los resultados de un examen médico— y deja ir el temor y confía en Dios. “Arroja tu carga sobre Dios y él te sostendrá” (Salmos, 55:22). Trata de sentir que Dios está detrás de ti. Él está consciente de tu dificultad. Él tiene el poder para ayudarte y quiere ayudarte. Nada es demasiado grande o demasiado pequeño para Él. Así que deja de preocuparte; todo estará bien. Dios no te abandonó; Él está aquí tomándote de la mano.

Tener Fe en Dios, es primeramente creer que existe y después creerle a lo que ha dicho. La Biblia dice: "Hebreos 11:6 Y sin fe es imposible agradar a Dios; porque es necesario que el que se acerca a Dios crea que Él existe, y que es remunerador de los que le buscan." En definitiva la fe es tener convicción, estar convencidos de algo o de alguien. La fe nos hace creyentes, nos convierte en hijos de Dios, nos hace salvos, la fe es nuestra conexión con Cristo Jesús.

¡Toma ánimo y sigue adelante! nunca pierdas tu fe en Jesús, Él es el único que puede ayudarte.

¡Confía! aunque todo en este momento se vea mal, porque tu victoria con Él está asegurada y será grandiosa. ¡JESÚS ESTA CONTIGO!. Cree en Él como lo más importante en este mundo. 

The connection of faith in God!

Pastor Eduardo preached: The connection of faith in God The connection between faith in God and faith in his promise will become clear to us if we consider what faith really is. It is often compared to the hand or the mouth, so we take and use what we have been given.

It is to my knowledge that the promise is that faith in the promise depends. Since God is One, nothing happens by accident; remove the veil of nature that masks His presence and you will find God behind the curtain. Keep your eyes open and ask your family and friends to share their best stories of Divine providence with you.

I have to listen to the person who gives me the promise because the tone of his voice gives me courage to believe. "So faith is by hearing, and hearing, by the word of God.", Romans 10:17.

But it is important that we understand that faith is also the ear, that we can hear what was promised and the eye through which we see what is offered. The ability to drink depends on it.

I have to see it because the light on his face melts all my doubts about my right to take. The value of a promise depends on the promising. Christian faith is not blind faith, it is a confirmed, proven and manifested faith through Christ; although we are taught in the Bible to have confidence in what we do not see (Hebrews 11: 1), what we do not see are the promises of God, which the ancient men of God trusted and because of them they were able to do big things; likewise, by trusting and obeying God rather than men, these promises will be fulfilled unfailingly also in our lives. It is seeing it by faith with the spirit.

I have to believe it. The people you love most are the people you trust most, and vice versa. Think of something that worries you, that generates fear and anguish — be it financial pressures or the results of a medical exam — and lets go of fear and trusts God. "Throw your burden on God and he will sustain you" (Psalms, 55:22). Try to feel that God is behind you. He is aware of your difficulty. He has the power to help you and wants to help you. Nothing is too big or too small for Him. So stop worrying; everything will be fine. God did not abandon you; He is here holding you by the hand.

To have faith in God, is first to believe that it exists and then to believe what you have said. The Bible says: "Hebrews 11: 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God; for it is necessary that he who approaches God believe that He exists, and that he is a reward for those who seek Him." In short, faith is to have conviction, to be convinced of something or someone. Faith makes us believers, makes us children of God, makes us saved, faith is our connection with Christ Jesus.

Take courage and move on! Never lose your faith in Jesus. He is the only one who can help you.

Trust! although everything at this moment looks bad, because your victory with Him is assured and it will be great. JESUS ​​IS WITH YOU! Believe in Him as the most important thing in this world.

Renew your Covenant/ Renovar tu alianza.

Pastor Eduardo sermon: Renew your alliance.

Alliance with the people, being "The People of the Alliance" is the essential definition of Israel. His relationship with God, who has chosen him as "The People of his property" is the reason for his existence through the centuries to the present day. “The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 The Lord did not make this covenant with our parents, but with us, with all those of us [a] who are alive here today. ”Deuteronomy 5: 2-3

But despite God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of his covenant promises, Israel has gone from faithfulness to infidelity; from forgetting God and sin in return to the Lord; from continuous renewal of alliance to rupture of the same. But God's plan to save man cannot fail, there will remain a small "rest" and with them God will seal a new Covenant.

The clauses of the covenant of God with his people, consisted not only of having no other god, nor only in the Ten commandments; Exodus 20,2-17, but in all the legislation found in the five books of the Law, which is the relationship of fraternity, love, justice, law, mercy, compassion and help for all the "brothers of Israel." That is why the claims and denunciations of the prophets of all times against all the social classes of the people condemning oppression, injustice against the poor, the weak, the widows, the orphans, the outsiders. Jeremiah 32,32-33. Theft, bribery, murder, violence and dispossession. "Thus you have broken my alliance with all your abominations." Ezekiel 44.7.

The Alliance supposes the Election; (God chooses a people to make an alliance with him) and the election is the fruit of God's free love, hence a "Consecrated People". The Love of God is the beginning, the source and source of the covenant with the people of Israel. God Loves, chooses and consecrates in Covenant and He never fails because He is eternally faithful.

Jesus establishes the new and definitive covenant sealed with his sacrifice, giving himself for men. She is celebrated in the communion, memorial of the new and eternal union of God with humanity. (Mark 14,14; 1 Corinthians 11,25; Lc 22,20).

On February 23 we will renew our alliance with God.
