Be still

-
"For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of  Israel:
"In returning and rest you shall be saved;
 In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."
 But you would not," Isaiah 30: 15

Sometimes we are restless trying to seek a direction, something seems wrong, we pray, we seek God, but that agitation in our interior doesn't leave.
That's when God says: Be still.
Be quiet. In rest, in the stillness, in the quietness and trust is your salvation.

What God says is many times the contrary of what the world says.
The world has a constant charge of something to do, of occupying yourself, of occupying your time, like if there is no time to lose.

But God wants us to quiet ourselves.

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'" Psalm 46: 10

Quiet yourself. Seek to hear God's voice because it is what gives rest to our souls. Open the Bible and seek to hear God's voice.

When our strength is little, the best thing to do is to be still, even if this means to lay on your bed and be still praying or resting doing nothing. Your soul will quiet if you do that.

Often times, when we are restless it is difficult to be quiet, but that's what God tells us to do.

"Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him.
For the help of His countenance." Psalm42: 5

That's how He restores us and talk to us, in the stillness.

Nothing strengthens the soul more than hearing God speak. And if you are reading this message, God is saying to you: "Be sill, be quiet." "Trust Me." "I know what I am doing." "I am working in your situation."

God is calling you to stop everything and have a quiet time with Him. To quiet your soul.

Worries or Trust?

-
Sometimes we worry so much with small and big things and forget to have faith and trust in the Lord. If He is always faithful and always helps us why do we fear? Why do we have incredulity? At least for me, everytime I cry out to God He hears and helps me, even if it takes a moment. God is Good and His mercies last forever. Everytime you worry try and remember that He always comes to our aid. Just wait and trust. Rest. Resting in Jesus can be challenging sometimes but wait for Him and He Will rescue you.  Today, Trust and wait in the Lord with faith. He is faithful tô bless you.

Mercy - The way of love

-

The title of this message may seem obvious but too many people are not choosing this way. We all harden our hearts a little bit once in a while and do not enter in the way of love. Love is the law of God. (Read more on that clicking here .) Sometimes when we are a little hardened we become deaf to the true voice of Jesus. The voice which appoints to mercy. When we incline our heart to mercy we enter the way of love. That is the direction of the Doctrine of Christ. (Read more on that clicking here .) When we feel pity or mercy we have our vision restored to see the truth of a situation or person. Of course it is necessary to have a good judgment and notice people and situations of foolishness. But to harden the heart is never a good choice. To discern situations and people is healthy and important, but to harden against them is foolishness. When inclining our heart towards mercy, we can discern between what's important and real and what is futile and fake. ...

How to make a covenant with God

-

Those who have a covenant with God has a  different life from the normal. They are extremely blessed. They have their prayers heard. They receive revelations, God tells them secrets, including the hidden secrets of men. Before you think about making a covenant with God you need to know Him. Imagine you want to get married. Before being engaged you need to know this person right? With God is the same thing, no one will assume a commitment to Him without knowing Him first. We start to get to know God by reading the Bible which is where He speaks to us and by going to an evangelical Church. Actually, I started to know God before going to a Church. It was through the Bible, only between Him and me. I also started to get to know Him when asking for signs. Signs that would confirm His will. I asked Him to use the animals. (Read more about this Here .) To be evangelical means to have a relationship and a covenant with God. No one becomes evangelical by going to a Church or ...
