Fizemos esse propósito com toda a nossa igreja pentecostal destruindo as obras do diabo, eu como o pastor da igreja fui direcionado pelo Senhor a fazer esse propósito com o tema saindo do deserto para bênção: Um dia em um sermão de domingo perguntei a igreja, quem na sua caminhada cristã já fez um propósito de 40 dias de jejum; a resposta foi que ninguém tinha feito. Então dai em diante começamos esse propósito para nos preparar para o nosso congresso, quatro anos de igreja.Entre nesse propósito e busque ao Senhor de verdade, Ele disse; quem busca acha. E você verá o Senhor agir ao seu favor. Se aproxime do Senhor. Faça igual Moisés, Elias, Ester, Jesus, paulo e outros mais. Quem é de Deus mortifica a carne com suas paixões, o jejum e um fortalecedor para o nosso espírito.
“...Passou da hora de uma verdadeira virada. Aquela que vá além de reformas de dogmas, de metodologias, de propostas de avivamento que nunca acontece, esse discurso de prosperidade que faz da fé mercadoria de consumo. A grande e necessária mudança exige consistência, olha sobre as necessidades mais profundas, existenciais, contemplando a vida integral de todas as camadas. Assim, nos deparamos com a prática de 40 dias de juventude. O que aconteceria se todas as igrejas evangélicas decidissem fazer esse programa ao mesmo tempo? Uma mobilização tão poderosa dessas só poderia resultar na salvação de milhares de vidas. O que estamos esperando? Para tanto, algumas exigências são claras nesse processo: líderes responsáveis, dispostos, liberados para viverem o ministério integral. Igrejas voltadas para a evangelização, com visão empreendedora, superação de tradições e muito trabalho. Que seja este livro do Pr. Luciano Malheiros a primeira força motriz de um grande e vitorioso programa, em milhares de igrejas espalhadas pelo Brasil. Ou teremos que inventar uma grande desculpa para a geração seguinte, quando nos perguntarem por que não fizemos o que deveria ser feito...”
Satan is having a field day, diverting the attention of God's people away from their Lord. The Enemy of our souls is so afraid of our unused power in God that he is trying to confuse us, individually and collectively. Through fasting and prayer, we can access that unused power and can be victorious.
This is the Gospels, volume five, of the Portuguese English Bilingual Bible book series. It is in English and Portuguese, two of the top ten most widely spoken languages on Earth. It is the King James Version and Almeida Recebida translations, good and accurate translations for learning either language, as well as having a correct and reliable translation from the received texts of the Holy Bible itself. The translators relied on "formal equivalence" to preserve phrasing and literal content from the Hebrew and Greek documents. This present volume is divided in columns for each language, with each corresponding verse line matching its equal on the opposite side of the page. The font size and style is easy to read. Typo's and the rare instance of missing information (such as superscriptions above psalms and colophons ending epistles) have been translated from English to Portuguese, and in some cases Hebrew into Portuguese, by Alan Lewis Silva, who has lovingly and carefully edited this wonderful book.
Before the entrance of sin, Adam enjoyed open communion with his Maker; but since man separated himself from God by transgression, the human race has been cut off from this high privilege. By the plan of redemption, however, a way has been opened whereby the inhabitants of the earth may still have connection with heaven. God has communicated with men by His Spirit, and divine light has been imparted to the world by revelations to His chosen servants. “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:21. During the first twenty-five hundred years of human history, there was no written revelation. Those who had been taught of God, communicated their knowledge to others, and it was handed down from father to son, through successive generations. The preparation of the written word began in the time of Moses. Inspired revelations were then embodied in an inspired book. This work continued during the long period of sixteen hundred years,—from Moses, the historian of creation and the law, to John, the recorder of the most sublime truths of the gospel. The Bible points to God as its author; yet it was written by human hands; and in the varied style of its different books it presents the characteristics of the several writers. The truths revealed are all “given by inspiration of God” (2 Tim. 3:16); yet they are expressed in the words of men. The Infinite One by His Holy Spirit has shed light into the minds and hearts of His servants. He has given dreams and visions, symbols and figures; and those to whom the truth was thus revealed, have themselves embodied the thought in human language. The ten commandments were spoken by God Himself, and were written by His own hand. They are of divine, and not of human composition. But the Bible, with its God-given truths expressed in the language of men, presents a union of the divine and the human. Such a union existed in the nature of Christ, who was the Son of God and the Son of man. Thus it is true of the Bible, as it was of Christ, that “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” John 1:14. Written in different ages, by men who differed widely in rank and occupation, and in mental and spiritual endowments, the books of the Bible present a wide contrast in style, as well as a diversity in the nature of the subjects unfolded. Different forms of expression are employed by different writers; often the same truth is more strikingly presented by one than by another. And as several writers present a subject under varied aspects and relations, there may appear, to the superficial, careless, or prejudiced reader, to be discrepancy or contradiction, where the thoughtful, reverent student, with clearer insight, discerns the underlying harmony. As presented through different individuals, the truth is brought out in its varied aspects. One writer is more strongly impressed with one phase of the subject; he grasps those points that harmonize with his experience or with his power of perception and appreciation; another seizes upon a different phase; and each, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, presents what is most forcibly impressed upon his own mind—a different aspect of the truth in each, but a perfect harmony through all. And the truths thus revealed unite to form a perfect whole, adapted to meet the wants of men in all the circumstances and experiences of life. God has been pleased to communicate His truth to the world by human agencies, and He Himself, by His Holy Spirit, qualified men and enabled them to do this work. He guided the mind in the selection of what to speak and what to write. The treasure was intrusted to earthen vessels, yet it is, none the less, from Heaven. The testimony is conveyed through the imperfect expression of human language, yet it is the testimony of God; and the obedient, believing child of God beholds in it the glory of a divine power, full of grace and truth.
