I will conquer and reach the promises of my God

From: April 11- 17, 2006 Study: # 439

TOPIC: “I will conquer and reach the promises of my God” Hebrew 11:33 The man and the woman who are called by God are to conquer, to win Kingdoms. By faith those men conquered Kingdoms, they reached promises, they shut mouths of lions, they became strong in battle, etc. Daniel 6:16, 22 All those who live in faith must understand that there are promises to reach. David made justice in everything as he moved, even when he cried because of his son’s death Absalom and God brought justice to him. God has given promises to all who believe in Him. So those who seek God know that God has given individual promises, unique, and only those who will reach them are those who remain in faith and in prayer, because these two are united to the promises. Faith guides, speaks, and says with accuracy and encourages us to pray. When we know that there are promises nobody can fool us because by faith we are very oriented towards the conquest. It is necessary to live well the present in faith in order to have a good future. When we neglect the present we don’t live very well, then we will have no harvest. For this reason we have to be oriented towards something, to conquer according to His promises. We sometimes take things for granted, naturally, but when we are able to see the things we have acquired because there is an orientation by means of the faith; then God will speak. When we believe and we seek we know what we are asking and where we are going. There are promises that are executed immediately. Judges 7:13-15 Gideon put all his faith and walked according to what God had given him to reach his promises. There are promises for one year, others for months and others from one day to another. As we stay in communion with God we will reach the promises. Those who have promises walk behind them in prayer because they must reach what has been promised. When we have Christ's knowledge there are no arguments that can rise against that faith. That knowledge is like a rock in our lives, it is to know where we are going. For this reason we must be careful because upon us there are promises. Those who neglect the well-known truth become apostate, a rebel of the truth, for there is no longer faith in him and without faith the promises cannot be reached. You then cannot conquer Kingdoms, do justice, shut mouth of lions, because God’s great kindness is wasted. Apostasy is to stray away from the truth, it is to sin deliberately, to lose the faith in whom has called us. Be careful! We have received the knowledge of the truth. We cannot be as Judas that rejected it after also having a part and a call just as the other eleven disciples. If we have received the knowledge and then Christ's name is rejected with all conscience, the mercy is wasted and there is no longer more sacrifice for the sins. It is impossible to renovate the apostate and drive him to repent. His portion will be the fiery fire that will devour the opponents; it is a horrendous trial expectation. Those who know Jesus, who understand who has given them eternal life and what sanctification is know their obligation, and undertakes this road that he has chosen with love and courage. To be united to a church to sanctify ourselves doesn't mean that we are saved, but rather we are saved by the blood of Christ. To be saved it is necessary to believe in the truth, which is Christ, and that we cannot continue to sin as in the past. Our salvation is through Christ and we have decided to live our life in faith struggling because it is necessary for us to reach many things. The Spirit of God that brings us the good news of salvation is who convinces us of sin; it reveals Christ to us and tells us that He is the only refuge of our lost lives. It is a horrendous thing to

fall in the hands of the living God. The fear of the Word has to dwell in our lives. Let us make memory of all that we have gone through. For some we are a spectacle, we are jeer, but for others we are companions in the battle of the faith. We fight with faith because we don't want the judgment, or the fire to devour us. Isaiah 66:24 We are partners of those who defend us and fight for the truth, then, what can stop us from fighting for the truth? Certainly, nothing. It is good to be companions of those who are waiting the promises here on earth. We must live in sanctity because we must possess and reach our promises. We cannot lose confidence because there are big rewards in proximity. The righteous must be strengthened by what he has lived for what will be his good present of faith and struggle. We cannot turn back. “Let us not lose the crop of our tears". Those who have tears will have a good harvest. The little foxes spoil the vines, knocking down its flowers. Songs 2:15 If we let this happen in our vineyard, the day of the harvest will not arrive. We must be vigilant in order to not lose the harvest of our tears. The promises of God for our lives are closer than ever. For this reason we have to be careful and understand that it is not the moment to turn back but to be firmer. For here and for the eternity we have promises, wealth in glory, a lot to possess. Having done God’s will, is the only way to reach the promises. How impetuous we are as human beings, and how much concupiscence is in a body! For this reason we have to be in grief in order to do God’s will. 1 Corinthians 9: 27 God’s will is wonderful. How much we should conserve and maintain our faith! This is what pleases God, and without it we will not be able to live or conquer Kingdoms. Open your eyes! With what game does the devil want to entertain us? We decide if we want to conquer or not. In God we reach promises, His kingdom is moved, His justice is done and this must be manifested although there are trials. How glorious it is to know that our walk is towards Heaven! That the Spirit of grace is in us to sanctify us. Those who want to see promises can never take the blood of Christ's in vane for it is what sanctifies us. Each one should know what he needs to conquer. Reached promises, that is our road. Let us struggle vehement with faith in the Word! Amen.
