Sword for your soul





"Do not thing that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword."

Mattew 10:34











 When the Lord Jesus spoke these words to the newly chosen for the mission of bringing salvation to the needy, He was directly showing everyone His purpose here on earth. Many people don't understand this holy verse as Jesus himself is called the Prince of Peace, but The Lord Jesus began a great spiritual war. We see in the beginning, when God created everything, his purpose was to make everything perfect. There was peace here on earth, there was no war, misery, hunger or sadness, but when man by the first time heard the voice of devil (illustrated as the serpent) ended all peace. The intention of the devil was to turn man against God, while there wasn't rebellion, there wasn't sword. When he (man) touched the fruit of disobedience he created without knowing this deadly tool, thus begun a war for his own soul. From that moment on, because of the disobedience against God, the devil gained space in people's lives. The people walked away from God, the sin which is the fruit of disobedience was in their midst.
 In the beginning there was peace, when there was communion of God with man and of man toward God. But, when Adam and Eve heard the voice of the serpent, they put the devil in the circle of communion. Through the disobedience of man to God, the devil won space here on earth. In the Kingdom of heaven was completely peaceful, Satan was turned against God and started war in heaven.


" Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back."


Revelation 12:7


 Satan led rebellion in a place that possessed extreme peace, because of the disobedience and took it to earth, contaminating humanity with sin. The peace is established when there is agreement among all, without such agreement, there isn't peace. Do you understand? There isn't communion of light with darkness, it is impossible to have agreement. Between light and darkness, there is no peace, but war, sword!

Two groups were formed: Followers of God and followers of Satan. Unfortunately the devil dragged a crowd to hell with his malignant plan. The people indulged in prostitution, idolatry, created other gods, sin in general, the world became a hell.  I needed something extremely strong to change this situation, SACRIFICE (SWORD). Christ was our salvation, his mission was to go down with the SWORD in hand and undo all the works of the devil.

"Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil."


1 john 3:8

The devil's work boot was the soul of the people and lead them to hell, and the lord Jesus came to boot from the hands of devil the field, declaring war, SWORD FOR OUR SOULS.The God's own son on the battlefield! The sacrifice of Christ, allowed us to have the right to salvation.Christ gave himself completely to save our souls from hell, now those who accept the Lord Jesus as their savior had his name written in the book of life (Revelation 20:12), Satan's plans were frustrated.The world continues garbage, and the trend is get worse, it is the end times, the apocalyptic signs are already happening, but only whoever wants will lose salvation, I will be even more direct, only goes to hell whoever you want, because everyone will have your opportunity, everyone will hear about Christ, accept who you want, but this is the way. Christ came to bring a sword, came shame the wise and save the lost.The pleasures of this world are leading people to a path: The Hell.

"Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life,he was thrown into the lake of fire."


Revelation 20:14-15


Jesus is with the sword for you, it was necessary Jesus to take the sword.And you? Give credit to whom in this war for your soul? The choice are your.

The law of faith





Not everyone who claims to be of the faith has Faith  And there are those who say they do not have much faith, when, in fact, they do. Though faith has its secrets and mysteries, one thing is certain: those who are of the faith do not have emotions. They take action, obey. Their actions do not depend on how they feel.
This is pure obedience. Obedience by faith. Obedience demonstrates, determines and characterizes faith.Take a look at Jesus’ example of faith:“A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my vineyard.’ He answered and said, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he regretted it and went. Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, ‘I go, sir,’ but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you." Matthew 21.28-31. This means that when evildoers obey the Word of God, they will enter the kingdom of God before many who claim to be of “the faith”.The same also happened with Abraham: "By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going."Hebrews 11.8 Notice that his faith was followed by obedience.Abraham believed in the promise and went out, not knowing where he was going...Do you know why most "Christians" have a cursed life? Because they believe in the Word of God, but do not obey.Disobedience was, is and continues to be the cause of such curses.Curses do not come without cause. And besides, a curse without cause shall not alight, Proverbs 26.2. There is no manifestation of faith without obedience, just like there is no obedience without an act of faith. Get ready to ascend the Mount of Transfiguration on April 14. Those who believe, those who represent Peter, James and John, who were chosen by the Lord Jesus, will go up together, in the Same Spirit, in one faith and with one purpose: to seek the Promise of God the Father: For there the Lord commanded the blessing – life forevermore. Psalm 133.3

Great things




" Who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number."

Job 5:9












when we believe in God, everything we can do. The impossible becomes possible.By faith we overcome everything, just believe!
 We have great power inside of us, but, many people living in distress life because, they don't believe in the power of God. Great things will happen, when we used our faith. Everything is possible to those who believes.
 God bless you and everything that God does is good.
