The importance of respecting the partner (Part 2).

We will find many people who: 

•    are stranger to our eyes, whether be in virtue of their gestures, their customs, their way of thinking or feeling the things, and so forth. Of course, it is very difficult to take in someone at home. This means to get out of our routine.
Many times, we repine when someone try to submit us to serfdom. Nevertheless, nobody is so good to enslave us than ourselves. We plaster ourselves in a comfort zone (regardless if it is good or evil) and, when someone endanger it, they are slighted.
Nonetheless, why do we persist on our projects and dreams if, in the end, all of us only will take with us the relationships that we construct inside us, as well as the actions that we take in order to create, preserve and destroy these relationships.
Furthermore, if we insist on not allowing anything strange to penetrate in us and being part of us, we will finish alone. 
So, let’s ask to Jesus if what is antic belongs to Him. Perhaps, the only thing that the stranger wants is to find harbor in our life.
Of course, that we are afraid of being hurt. Notwithstanding, if someone were able to hurt us, we will never be in peace, inasmuch as everyone is flimsy and sinner. Or we seek in Christ His supernatural oil of joy (Heb 1:9) that make us happy regardless the circumstances (see Act 5:40,41; 16.22-25) or we will end up like a turtle inside the hull of diffidence and fear;
•    are naked. Many of them pines for being clothed with the acts of justice of the saints (Rev 19:8), but we, rather, have the petulance of taking off the little that they have;
•    are sick, but we didn’t find time to communicate to them some Jesus’ gift (Rom 1:11). Instead of staying in the Creator’s council (Jr 23:22) and cause people to hear His words and turn from their evil way and from the evil of their doings, we prefer to cajole them saying that Jesus love them and will help them. This won’t take place while they cultivate a hidden sin and bad demeanor.
The true friends use their Sword (Jesus’ Word – Jer 48:10) in order to hurt the sin in their lives and, thus, being truly healed and saved (Job 5:18). 
Who doesn’t preach against the sin is putting burdens of falsehood on the back of people and causing them to be ousted of Jesus’ presence (Lam 2:14).
•    are in prison. And the worst is that many believers act like this toward them:
o    “For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they lure through the lusts of the flesh, by unbridled lust, the ones who were escaping from those who live in error; promising them liberty, they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom anyone has been overcome, even to this one he has been enslaved.” (2Pe 2:18,19);
However, the right conduct is:
o    “in meekness instructing those who oppose, if perhaps God will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, and that they awake out of the snare of the Devil, having been taken captive by him, so as to do the will of that one.” (2Ti 2:25,26).

Nevertheless, we need to identify Jesus in these lives. 

In the marriage, many times the partner don’t have:

•    The food of true knowledge;
•    The water of the true life (motivations);
•    The acquaintance with the concepts and values of Kingdom of the Heaven;
•    The apparel of the Kingdom of the Creator;
•    The spiritual health that make their mind sound (feelings, thoughts, dreams), their eyes good (Luke 11:33-36), their body sufficient sturdy to reinforce people around him/her (Eph 4:2; Col 3:13).
•    Freedom to do what is right and good before the Creator and before the men.

Nonetheless, our obligation is to allow Jesus to be, in our life:

•    The Bread of Life (John 6:35,48);
•    The Living Water (John 7:37-39);
•    The One who is one with the Father (John 10:30), outright familiarized with the Eternal Kingdom;
•    Our Justice (Jeremiah 33:16);
•    The One who heal us (Exodus 15:26);
•    The One whose Truth delivers us (John 8:32).

So, have a good day taking into consideration the limitations of your partner and being careful in order not to fall in sin (1Cor 10:12; Galatians 6:1).

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
