"And when they passed by in the morning, they saw that the fig tree had dried up from the roots." (Mark 11:20) Going from Bethany to Jerusalem, Jesus was hungry. Passing through a fig tree covered with very green leaves (appearance), he approached to pick some figs. Seeing, however, the most absolute absence of fruit (content), Jesus "cursed" the fig tree, condemning it to permanent unproductiveness. "The next day, early in the morning, Jesus and the disciples passed by the fig tree and saw that it was dry from the root" (Mark 11:20). The explanation given by Jesus clearly has nothing to do with the fact that a fig tree dries up, because it has no fruit, which could be looked at naturally in an era that was not of harvest ... But, suddenly, He begins To explain about faith capable of changing things. But what would be the relationship between a cursed fig tree and the fruitful life of faith that the Lord expects us to have? Like that f...

If I do not forgive my friend until I feel desire to forgive ... I will never forgive. If I am not kind to my neighbor until I feel at my heart to be kind ... I will never be kind. If I do not pray for the lost until I feel the urge to pray ... I will never pray. If I do not work hard until I feel desire in my heart to be diligent ... I will never be diligent. If I do not serve in the church until I feel like serving ... I will never serve. If I do not approach those who are different from me until I feel in my heart the desire to approach ... I will never approach. If I am not patient with my children until I feel desire to be patient ... I will never be patient. We live in a culture that sends us to follow our hearts. The Lord says, "Obey and your heart will follow." The glory of the Gospel is that God gives us power to do what we do not feel like doing. When it comes to following the Lord, feelings will most often follow obedience. Do n...

Base Text: Mt 4: 1-11 I want to expound in a succinct way what the Holy Spirit has shed light on my understanding in this biblical passage known to Christians - which concerns the temptations suffered by Jesus in the wilderness by Satan. The first point I would like to emphasize is that none of us are exempt from the temptations of satan, after all he is the temptation itself and this was made clear in the text under analysis since he invested with his devices against the very Son of God, Jesus Christ , The Incarnate Word. However, although we are subject to temptations, we have resources given by God to successfully resist it - the Word of God. Jesus gave us a great proof of this, for all his answers are based on the Word of God. We talk initially about the tempter, now let's talk about how it attacks. We identified in the text that Jesus was fasting and praying for 40 days until he was hungry - here is an important tip - hunger was the point of contact for Satan to ...

II Cor 2: 10-11 "And to whomsoever ye shall forgive, I also; For what I have forgiven, if it be that I have forgiven anything, for your sake I have done it in the presence of Christ, that Satan may have no advantage over us; Because we do not ignore their machinations. " One way to neutralize the action of Satan in our family is through Forgiveness. Paul tells the Church that if we are not to be overcome by satan, WE MUST FORGIVE. Beloved brethren in Christ Jesus, he does not need a wide loophole to have legality, a micro cleft is enough. We men have the responsibility to lead, how can we lead if there is no Forgiveness? When we fail to forgive, perhaps a little misunderstanding, we are giving legality to the destruction of our families. I am not saying that he will touch you, for in I John 5: 18 it says, "We know that everyone who is born of God does not sin; But the one who is born of God saves him, and Maligno does not touch him. "(Em...

Todo cristão comprometido com Deus, deseja do fundo do seu coração, ser cheio do Espírito Santo de Deus. Mas para isso, precisamos tomar alguns cuidados. Fazer algumas escolhas. Dar alguns passos em direção a uma vida santa na presença do Senhor. Efésios 5. 1-17 “SEDE, pois, imitadores de Deus, como filhos amados; e andai em amor, como também Cristo vos amou, e se entregou a si mesmo por nós, em oferta e sacrifício a Deus, em cheiro suave. Mas a prostituição, e toda a impureza ou avareza, nem ainda se nomeie entre vós, como convém a santos; Nem torpezas, nem parvoíces, nem chocarrices, que não convêm; mas antes, ações de graças. Porque bem sabeis isto: que nenhum devasso, ou impuro, ou avarento, o qual é idólatra, tem herança no reino de Cristo e de Deus. Ninguém vos engane com palavras vãs; porque por estas coisas vem a ira de Deus sobre os filhos da desobediência. Portanto, não sejais seus companheiros. Porque noutro tempo éreis trevas, mas agora sois luz no SENHOR; andai como...
