How to walk in the light

-

First, we need to understand what is light.

The light is the truth. And they are both also the Word of God.

It is impossible to walk in the light without reading the Bible.

"Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth."
John 17: 17

Without reading the Bible constantly, (Because His Word renews itself each time we read it, yes, it's a mystery), we don't have knowledge of the truth and it gets difficult to walk in the light because we are not seeing the light.

"Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”"
John 8:31-32

Walking according to what God says in the Bible it is the same as walking in a safe, firm, free path... that is to walk in the light.

 "Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path."
Salmos 119:105

When we walk in the light we have nothing to fear, we are full of courage.
Having light to walk is to have answers, exits, solutions, comfort, encouragement, strength and everything we need to walk safe and strong.

 "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”"
John 8:12

To walk in the truth is the same thing as walking in the light. But the difference is that to walk in the truth something is required from us.

For us to walk in the truth it's necessary that we have the courage to be ourselves, transparent and authentic, sincere and just, doing good and loving our neighbor.

If we are unjust, liars, fake and impure we are not walking in the truth and consequently, we are not walking in the light.

Truth is goodness. One does not exist without the other. 

Truth is transparency and sanctity.

Without these things, we are not walking in the light.

Having a sincere heart is very important but without sanctity, there is no permanency in the truth.

Only the Holy Spirit can make this purification. But our part is to remain in the Word. Because the Word sanctifies us.

"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
1 John 1:7

Something I can say from experience is that the first step to being able to walk in the truth is to face the fear of men. 
That fear is often subconscious.

Sometimes we are afraid of many people, or of people in general, or of certain people.

It's necessary to face that fear. Because only facing it is what will cause us to walk in the truth.

If you are going to start or is starting to read the Bible, I advise you to read the Book of Proverbs and 1, 2 and 3 John.

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 ...
