God is as big as your faith

Job suffered. His situation worsened until it reached its limit, a limit that none of us could ever get. According to what it was said, you have a return from what you invest. He said that what he feared the most came against him. If you have a lot of hope, you have hope, if you have a lot of faith, you will have many achievements, if you have many doubts, you have many defeats. If you invest in getting much of God, you will receive much from God. God has everything, so you will have everything. Job feared of losing everything he had at the peak of his success, and of his conquests. Many people keep their problems due to their fear. They become sick for having so many medicines and for fearing diseases, they become poor for fearing poverty. Be sure that everything you invest you will have a return in your life. Those who invest in cigarettes find cancer. If you invest in drinks, you will find cirrhosis. If you invest in God you will find victories. Nevertheless, nothing will prevent heavy fire to show up occasionally in our midst. The evidence, the struggles and problems appear. God allows the fire, in our case, for us to be purified as gold loses the impurities in the flame. In your fear, even being a man of God, job invested wrong, thinking bad things. Many people spend the day thinking about bad things. They invest in that, so they will bring sadness, defeat. If you spend the day thinking about the things I saw and heard in the Church, you will be investing in the things of God. Even with all tribulation, job didn't give up on God. Even though our lives are sanctified, Satan will appear. At the first opportunity, he will make the tribulation, which is bad enough, look even worse.

While Jesus went to Jairus, the devil used people to say that the daughter of Jairus was already dead. Jesus rebuked saying she just slept. The devil talks a lot, almost all the time, we don't realize because we don`t ever watch out.

But you don't have to listen to the voice of the devil, but rather the voice of God. Daniel said that the more the Lord spoke, the stronger he felt. So He is with us, with our life. You and I need to hear the voice of God. On the day that Job saw that he had nowhere else to go, who to turn to, he confessed who God was. You are what you confess and you receive what you declare. Job was over, but he got courage and said: I know you can do anything. If those words had come out before, he wouldn't probably have gone through everything he went through. Through his statement, Job caused a thunderstorm in Heaven. It sure was a stir. Many things we talk about angels don't wake up, but with some, we change the world. And the situation becomes difficult because if it's simple, most of us men would become courageous to say, "it was I." So it must be considered impossible for the glory to belong to God. The situation we live in is simple: either you take possession of what God gives you or He sends another to take possession because what God gives it is given, does not return to Him. But what God gives you is huge, it is far beyond what we can even imagine because it is common to a man to think that he was the one who was able to perform thus he deserves the merit, which belongs to God. You are the one who determines the size of God in your life according to your faith. Job was wise to declare that God can do everything and none of his thoughts can be prevented. Invest in your relationship with God. Get out of the church thinking about what you saw and heard because you will be investing in God and, when you invest in it, all of your wishes will come true.
