“Every good movement passes through five stages: indifference, ridicule, abuse, repression and respect.” (Gandhi)
Praise God bishop, you persevered and reached the last stage!

From the time we’re young children, we learn things and habits from our parents. For example: how to believe in the things we cannot see. When we turn to God, we start understanding His will. Many times we limit God’s actions in our lives because we’ve learned the wrong way to go about doings things. Therefore, we must fight against our flesh, believing without doubting, because God is wonderful enough to give us far more than what we ask for. May God continue blessing you bishop and your whole family and those who serve Him.

Bishop, emotions will lead us to do things based on our feelings and for momentary pleasures. People kill because of hate, betray because of desire, and steal because they feel poor. It’s quite confusing. How can faith be the only thing that can bring into existence what we cannot see? We must separate our feelings from the faith preached about in the Bible and separate the hymns of faith from worldly music, which is a big reason behind many misfortunes.

That’s really strong!! Give without asking, give without feeling and give to serve. These are difficult words say and actions to show. I find myself in a similar situation, but each one of these words, have pierced me like a two-edged sword dividing what I want from what I must do. God bless you always.

Medicine creates sick people; math, sad people and theology, sinners. It’s like Martin Luther said, “Good works do not make a good man, but a good man does good works”. Evil deeds don’t make a bad man, but bad men practice evil deeds. These are actions of the flesh! Just like the Lord Jesus said to Peter: Get behind me Satan! You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men. That’s what Mr. Silas did; not only him but all those who judged Dilma and consider themselves Christians.

Doubt is the unbeliever’s weakness; Emotion’s are the Christians.
The righteous shall live by faith.

God bless

“The triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Shakespeare)

I’m also victorious. There are battles that we must overcome on our own to increase our intimacy with God, but there are battles that we must to ask for help in order to become more humble.
It doesn’t matter who I am; I’m a soul.

Devil’s strategy: kill the frog with warm water.
Unfortunately, there are many people who don’t even know they’re lost.
A friend told me a story once about how to kill a frog with a pan of warm water over a fire. He said that as the water got warm, the frog became relaxed. He wouldn’t even realize that he was being cooked. He would eventually fall asleep and die. You can’t just through him over the fire because he would jump out. The devil has done the same thing to many people without them even noticing.

I know a story of a mother who placed a wooden heart on the wall. The heart was full of nails. Her son looked at the heart and asked why there were nails on it. His mother said, “They represent the heartaches and sadness you’ve given me”. Her son became sad. After some time, the mother took the nails off and he said, “You took out the nails.” She answered, “Yes, but they left marks”.
