WORDS

Your basis needs to be Jesus

The work built on the Foundation is proved by fire by God's permission.

The Foundation, or the Foundation on which everything is built or argued and, for us, our base, our Foundation, as well as that of any human being, is called the word of God. They are the ones who shape the character and create the defenses of the soul. No one will support if you don't have good basis supported by the Word. We need to live based on the Bible, in the Scriptures, to withstand the evils and dangers. Although Paul was a preacher, the comparison, which says the preacher is a constructor, is true because the spiritual foundation in the lives of people depends on the preaching. In 1 Corinthians 3:10, Paul talks about the correct basis. We can't teach you to trust men but in God, not to encourage you to run after blessings, but to love God. The one who is based on the word of God resists adversity and advances of Satan pretty well. So he was concerned. Let's say that Paul was a preacher of the Worldwide Church of God`s Power. He knows that you will leave the Church and turn on the TV at home and you will be building yourself as well, which will add some things in you, a work already in progress. Figure out, with a good base, another constructor comes and begins to set bricks in your life without entering into base. The concern was that other preachers teach the same thing, not to hold men, campaigns, Church doctrines, rituals, but in the word of God. And it is you who needs to get this wisdom in God. The prudent constructor delivers a safe, ready work, well based. He works for the hearts and minds of the people, things happen slowly, the message, the word, form the character of the people and the structure of the faith. In every church that you are, you will hear the name of Jesus Christ, which is not to say that He is the Foundation. It is possible that if you talk about Jesus Christ, but that the man wants to take over the work or miracles, the merits of fruits. But who among us never fell or got in trouble? When it comes to change, why should we have the credit, if you know that it was God who made it? So we have to worry about what kind of material we are. The Church has all kinds of material. What will reveal the work of each one is the fire coming from the world, with the permission of God, which is the difficulties, some great and almost unbearable ones. We've all been moments that looked like they weren't going to take it; some of us go through that. Paul gave a bill of materials: gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay and straw. But wood burning, while hay and straw become ashes almost instantly. Gold, the more fire takes, the more valuable it becomes. It's like God wants us to be. While the devil suggests that God has abandoned you, God is the One who allows it to happen because whether you refined as gold, for you to get out of this phase shining like never shone before. All of us will get through this condition; you cannot be made of wood, straw or hay. People show they are made of such material when they are attached to the blessings and not the blesser, when they complain, ascribe to others and sometimes even God their failures, when they give up or talk about the delay of your victory.

But when people put God first, seek God, pray, fast, seek God is fatal, suddenly, God will come up with the reward and will make you shine so much that you scare.

If you get the Bible stories, you'll see that the great characters and men of God went through difficulties that would be impossible to be matured and became more important after the victory, conquerors of their dreams. I have a desire in my heart and I have fought for wisdom, for God messages that don't let you give up because I can see, by faith and by grace, where you will put your hand where you will, but you need to walk with your legs and the recipe to get is non stop. Everything I earned was through perseverance. Gold in the fire is more resistant, and purer is burning. I say that because there's gold and gold, as people and people and there are very difficult moments, the soul moans and it hurts, but the promise of God is the only one that is fulfilled in its entirety. You may have no apparent possibility, but what God spoke in your life. Believe me, you can't get lost along the way because God has prepared your way and it`s ready. Everything is yours and you belong to God. Things from the past or future, everything is ours. Even the things you want and you still don't have, it's yours. Take that because God already gave you.
