The prophet Ezekiel said to prophesize and it meant to tell. Prophesize victory and God will be with you. Because of that, in James 1.19 it’s said that we must be careful at what we say, late to be angry, and ready to hear. It’s for a real purpose, God provided us with two ears and one mouth to speak less and hear more.

Anger doesn’t produce God’s justice. He won’t provide us with justice because we get angry, we get and get outraged, so we must let God react. Usually, when we get angry, we lose our reason because we behave our way and God doesn’t appreciate that.

God has time for everything, but our time is not the same as God’s. A great mistake we make is to react right away without thinking it over. Never take any attitude without thinking it over. you should wait, relax your mind, pray for God, and when everything is easy, you may take the right attitude God’s word has answers for every condition and that’s the advice we should carry along our lives. The condition Brazil goes through today, the Word has the answer. We have to get rid of all of the impureness every day. Gold, the more heat it gets, purer it becomes. Despite being desirable, gold brings much impureness. We, men, are also impure and we let conditions draw our path easily. We keep evil and harmful feelings inside of us. That’s why the recommendation is to get rid of all of impureness. Never congratulate yourself saying you can or you get because all of us need God. The word says that we have to receive calmly the Word of God, which is powerful to save our soul. Faith comes from hearing God’s word, so you can’t be just a listener, you have to put in practice. The appeals of the world try to conquer and corrupt our lives, we have to be courageous, brave, to refuse them and not to say no to Christ, deny our own being but never Christ. When we just hear the word and never put them in practice, we cheat on us. It’s worthless being at the church if we don’t leave the gospel, then, it’s necessary to leave the gospel. We don’t have to be different people inside and outside the church and we have to be careful with the world because it contaminates using fake and illusion. It’s very important to be aware that our flesh fights against our spirit, each of them longing for different things. If we practice what we hear, God will bless us powerfully. Serving Christ is not easy, you have to be courageous and perseverant. When Joshua heard God’s call, after Moses’ death, he heard from God he had to be brave and it wouldn’t be easy thing, but He would be together with him. It’s the same with us, we have to continue because God is with us, with brave ones, those who never consider cheap talks, misunderstandings, families, but those who practice the Word and persevere. That one who hears the word and puts it in practice is blessed in every accomplishment. We have to be away from things of the world and be closer to God’s issues. We have to fight, be perseverant, and keep ourselves pure. If we are aware that poison kills us, why should we have it? Lies, adultery, among many sins destroy your life and make you lose your salvation. Get closer and practice God’s Word. It’s preached to everyone, the difference between who thrives and who doesn’t thrive is the person who hears and practices.
