Believe That You Can Do Everything!

The world we live in constantly tries to discourage us. Even those who are closer say unpleasant things.

“Why do you believe that you will get it?”

“I don’t know anyone who did it!”

“This isn’t for you. No chance!”

Many of these discouraging words take root in our hearts. We start to doubt ourselves and our capability. We reach the point to think and say the same things.

“This is too hard; I won’t be able to.”

“I’m not good enough for this.”

“This isn’t for me.”

These ideas must be eliminated from our minds. We are capable of doing great, incredible, wonderful, spectacular things. Believe that you can and will do it. Be your bigger motivator.

“If nobody did, I’ll be the first one.”

“This is hard, but God will help me.”

“Everything is possible for one who believes.”

The change of thinking will help you to fight and conquer what you dream of.

Proverbs 12:14

From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward.

Changing the Vision

Sometimes we stay sad because we do not get something,

We stay unpleased, and about what we do not have, we think.

In our hearts arises a big feeling of unhappiness,

Because what we desire, we do not possess.

 

At this moment, we forget all conquered things,

About what we have in our lives, we forget everything.

We cannot see the blessings we have already received,

For what we do not have, we are looking fixedly.

 

We need to change our vision, and look in another direction,

For everything we already have, we must show appreciation.

We must thank God for everything He already gave us,

We must stop demanding from God what has not happened to us.

 

Our hearts must keep calm and trust in God,

Knowing that at the right time, what we need will be given by the Lord.

Because God is perfect, and He will never fail in anything,

We only have to learn to trust and wait for Him.

Surprised

Sometimes, we are in situations hard to deal with,

We think that our lives will be affected in some way.

We notice there are some hard troubles to fix,

Although we try to solve it, we will be impacted by something.

 

Seeing the imminent situation, we only have to prepare,

Trying to decrease the damage of what will impact.

After doing what is possible, we stay conformed,

Thinking: I already did my best for the danger to be avoided.

 

We hope passively for what has been known previously,

There is nothing more to do besides the plans we already made.

At the expected moment, something different happens to us,

We receive something perfect that helps and enriches us.

 

We do not know from where came this good thing,

Because it is more than what we were thinking.

Now, we have to celebrate, and thank for the received blessing,

Remembering That One who gave us this victory.

 

We have to thank God who showed his love to us,

Recognizing that even without deserving, his grace, He gave us.

Noticing how much God cares for us in each moment,

He turned into happiness what was once a source of torment.

The Gospel of the Ostentation

I am evangelical, and I have a very expensive car,

I went to a church, and my reward is going far.

I only needed to sacrifice to get all of it,

All the money I gained, I put in my offerings.

I have many houses and even a mansion,

My heart has the desire for conquering and expansion.

I have to buy all the expensive things,

To make this happen, I only need to give offerings.

Before a generous offering, God has to repay me,

If I give all I have, He must give something to me.

The more I gain, the more I will offer,

The more I have, the more I want to conquer.

I want to gain all the possible money,

Brand clothes, leather shoes, and everything, I will buy.

I will have so much; I even will have a private jet,

All this is to show all the things I can get.

I want to exhibit everything that God gives me,

How much He can prosper me, people have to see.

May I humiliate all my enemies,

And those who humbled me, start to envy me.

A full and rich life; I need to have,

If God does not give, then, it is not worth believing.

The most important is what He is giving,

And not if my soul will be saved.

Since God is the owner, the children have to use,

On Earth, I will gather many treasures.

When I die, in a luxury coffin, they will bury me,

In heaven, in the house close to God, I will live,

Because I know, there, it will also be worth my wealth.

Everyone is the Same

For God, all people are equal,

Everyone is sinful and mortal.

There is no one different,

We have to change our judgement.

 

We must not separate anybody,

We must not judge anybody.

All brothers, we must accept.

We will praise the Lord together.

 

The Lord judges only the heart.

We judge people according to what we see,

If he has a good presentation.

We put him in a high position.

But if he seems poor and scruffy.

We even try to hide him.

 

If we do it, the Lord will not delight.

Because God chose them to exalt their lives.

But we, weak people, want to humble them,

By doing this favouritism, God will charge us.

 

We must change our thought and judgement,

We must give everyone the same treatment.

God decided that everyone can be saved.

And his supreme law, we must obey.

Gospel of the Freedom

The Gospel of Christ brings freedom,

It is a Gospel without the base in religion.

It is not a Gospel made to put people in prison,

It is a Gospel available for everyone.

 

On the side of Christ, we are free to adore Him,

And with God, we can have a relationship.

The real power, we are free to see,

Each person inhabits the Holy Spirit.

 

The Spirit shows us what we have to do,

He says that for Jesus Christ, we must be thankful.

Because He was our great and powerful rescuer.

Freeing all chains of the sinner.

 

All freed people are under his protection,

They are bestowed with an undeserved gift of salvation.

The salvation that the sinner did not deserve,

Even so, God was merciful and kept him preserved.

 

We must enjoy the freedom of Christ,

We are showing the world the action of love in each life.

Showing everyone that God can free,

And everyone can live an eternal life with Him.

Jesus, the New Chance

In no moment, Jesus condemned,

Even his executioners were acquitted.

Christ does not represent condemnation,

Jesus came to represent salvation.

 

For the sins of all people, He has paid,

In this way, everyone could be saved.

The cross is a chance for all people to find reconciliation,

Each one can return to God's ways and his direction.

 

Those who before were condemned,

They had all their sins forgiven and erased.

They left the darkness and condemnation,

And by God, they were led to salvation.

 

About this news, Jesus was the mediator,

Before God, He is our intercessor.

Freeing all the people of any accusation,

Giving forgiveness and love to the chosen ones.

 

The love of the Lord is so amazing,

That He gave his Son for all people's sins.

Jesus showed the biggest love in his actions,

The election, the forgiveness, and Lord's salvation.
