A prayer for my loved ones // Uma oração pelos meus queridos


 

A prayer for my loved ones (Col. 1and James 1)

 

I always thank God, the Father of Jesus Christ for my friends, those who know Christ, and those who yet don’t know You. Because I hope one day they will hear the word of truth, the gospel, which has come to me and it is bearing fruit and increasing, so it also does among them, since the day I heard and understood the grace of God in truth.

 

I have not ceased to pray for them, I ask that they may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of You, O Lord, to fully please You:  bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; I pray that they may be strengthened with all power according to Your glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. I also ask the same for me; giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. Lord, You have delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of Your beloved Son, I ask You, my Lord, to do the same for them; deliver them from the domain of darkness and transfer them to Your kingdom, in whom we have redemption the forgiveness of sins.

 

You, my Jesus, are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by You, Jesus, all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities, all things were created through You and for You Jesus. You are before all things, and in You, all things hold together. You, Jesus, are the head of the body, the church. You are the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything You might be preeminent. For in all the fullest of God was pleased to dwell, and through You Jesus, to reconcile to yourself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of Your cross.

 

And I, who once was alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds have now in your body and flesh by Your death, in order to present me holy and blameless and above reproach before You, Jesus, if indeed I continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that I heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation, I ask you Lord to help my friends and loved ones to find the Way to become holy and blameless and above reproach before You, and so they continue in faith, stable and steadfast in your gospel.

 

Help me and my loved ones to count it all joy when we meet trials of various kind, for I know and let them know also, that the testing of our faith produces steadfastness, and let the steadfastness have its full effect that we may be perfected and complete, lacking nothing.

Lord, search our hearts and minds and see if one of us is lacking wisdom, for I know that You give us generously to all without reproach. I know we need to ask it you in faith; help us not doubt, for I know that who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. If I doubt I won’t receive anything from You, help me Lord to not have a double-mind or unstable in any way.

 

Lord, teach us to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Lord, therefore, help me to put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save our souls. Lord, come and teach us to be doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving ourselves. For Lord, we know that if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in the mirror, for he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what we are like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. Lord, help us to be a doer of your word.

 

In the name of Jesus, I pray for my friends and loved ones

Amen

Uma oração pelos meus entes queridos (Col. 1 e Tiago 1)

 

Eu sempre agradeço a Deus, o Pai de Jesus Cristo, por meus amigos, aqueles que conhecem a Cristo e aqueles que ainda não Te conhecem. Porque espero que um dia eles ouçam a palavra da verdade, o evangelho, que veio a mim e está dando frutos e crescendo, assim também entre eles, desde o dia em que ouvi e entendi a graça de Deus na verdade.

 

Não cesso de orar por eles, peço que sejam preenchidos com o conhecimento da Tua vontade em toda a sabedoria e entendimento espiritual, para que andem de maneira digna de Ti, Senhor, para Te agradar plenamente: dando frutos em toda boa obra e aumento no conhecimento de Deus; Oro para que sejam fortalecidos com todo o poder de acordo com o Seu poder glorioso, para toda a perseverança e paciência com alegria. Eu também peço o mesmo para mim; dando graças ao Pai, que me qualificou para participar da herança dos santos na luz. Senhor, Tu me livraste do domínio das trevas e me transferiste para o reino de Teu Filho amado, peço-te, meu Senhor, que faças o mesmo por eles; livra-os do domínio das trevas e transfere-os para o Teu reino, em quem temos a redenção e o perdão dos pecados.

 

Você, meu Jesus, é a imagem do Deus invisível, o primogênito de toda a criação. Pois por ti, Jesus, todas as coisas foram criadas, no céu e na terra, visíveis e invisíveis, sejam tronos, sejam dominações, sejam governantes, seja autoridades, todas as coisas foram criadas por ti e para ti Jesus. Você está antes de todas as coisas e em Você todas as coisas subsistem. Você, Jesus, é a cabeça do corpo, a igreja. Você é o começo, o primogênito dos mortos, para que em tudo você possa ser proeminente. Pois foi do agrado de Deus que nele habitasse toda a plenitude, e por meio dele reconciliasse consigo todas as coisas, tanto as que estão na terra quanto as que estão nos céus, estabelecendo a paz pelo seu sangue derramado na cruz.

 

E eu, que antes era alienado e hostil em mente, praticando maldades, agora tenho em seu corpo e carne por Sua morte, a fim de me apresentar santo e irrepreensível e irrepreensível diante de Ti, Jesus, se de fato continuo na fé, estável e constante, não mudando da esperança do evangelho que ouvi, que foi proclamado em toda a criação, peço-lhe, Senhor, que ajude meus amigos e entes queridos a encontrar o Caminho para se tornarem santos e irrepreensíveis e irrepreensíveis diante de Ti, e assim eles continuam na fé, estáveis ​​e firmes em seu evangelho.

 

Ajude-me e aos meus entes queridos a ter muita alegria quando encontrarmos provações de vários tipos, pois eu sei e os faço saber também, que o teste de nossa fé produz firmeza, e que a constância tenha seu efeito total para que possamos ser aperfeiçoados e completo, não faltando nada.

Senhor, esquadrinha nossos corações e mentes e vê se algum de nós está faltando sabedoria, pois eu sei que o Senhor nos dá generosamente a todos sem censura. Eu sei que precisamos perguntar isso a você com fé; ajude-nos a não duvidar, pois sei que quem duvida é como a onda do mar que se move e se agita pelo vento. Se eu duvido que não receberei nada de Você, ajude-me Senhor a não ter uma mente dupla ou instável de qualquer forma.

 

Senhor, ensina-nos a ser rápidos para ouvir, vagarosos para falar e vagarosos para a ira, pois a ira do homem não produz a justiça de Deus. Senhor, portanto, ajuda-me a colocar de lado toda imundície e maldade galopante e receber com mansidão a palavra implantada, que é capaz de salvar nossas almas. Senhor, vem e ensina-nos a ser cumpridores da palavra e não ouvintes apenas enganando a nós mesmos. Pois, Senhor, sabemos que se alguém é ouvinte da palavra e não praticante, é como um homem que olha atentamente para o seu rosto natural no espelho, pois se olha e vai embora e imediatamente esquece o que somos gostar. Mas aquele que olha para a lei perfeita, a lei da liberdade, e persevera não sendo um ouvinte que esquece, mas um executor que age, ele será abençoado em seu fazer. Senhor, ajuda-nos a cumprir a tua palavra.

 

Em nome de Jesus, eu oro por meus amigos e entes queridos

Amém

I see Grace in the time of the Law // Eu vejo Graça no tempo da Lei

People frequently say that the Old Testament is the time of the law, and now we are under the Grace of God. Surprisingly, I just found out an explicit act of the Grace of God in the Old Testament. As I read chapter 9 of Deuteronomy , in which has a title Not because of Righteousness (ESV). I am stunned to see verses 4 - 6, they say: “ Do not say in your heart , after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, ‘ It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you. 5 Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.6 “Know, therefore, that the Lord your God is not giving y...

No "trouble-free" card for you // Nenhum cartão "livre-de-problemas" para você

  The Word of the Lord is beautiful and true. In there, you find so many poems. This is the form the Bible authors chose to communicate the Word of the LORD, and it is profound. I’ve been listening to the Bible Project podcast for more than a year now. Lately, they are covering the theme of “The Wilderness”. Now, everywhere I read in the Scripture, I see something related to it. It is amazing. I am now in the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 43. And guess what? It is wonderful. Just in the first few verses, you find that God is telling His people that it doesn’t matter what sort of hardship they are going through, He, the Creator, will deliver them. Actually, it is said like this: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior....

The oppressive urge to speak // A necessidade opressiva de falar

  Should I keep quiet forever? Is silence that bad? Can’t I stand my own thoughts that I need to say out loud? What kind of thoughts come to my mind? Are they generally good or bad? If I choose to speak up, to whom would it benefit? If anyone ever. Let me be clear: It is better not to say a word than say words that will do more harm than good. What if it is the truth? I ask, why would you say it? How would you say it? The truth will come out eventually. You don’t need to lie or be rude. What we must do is to be kind. If I tell you the truth in a harsh way, will you accept, or will you only hear the harsh sound of my voice and ignore completely what I was trying to say? Sometimes, not even the kindest words won’t make it through because the listener isn’t listening at all. The listener doesn’t care about your opinion, doesn’t care about others. The listener just cares about himself. The listener just wants to say w...
