Introduction:
Today’s world is increasingly involved in big and serious problems that make life more difficult to carry. Problems of all kinds, incurable diseases, violence, drug addiction and death are seen everywhere. The man has looked for the answer that gives solution to all this. By different means he has tried, but he has not succeeded, because they have forgotten God. They have done it on their own, with their own methods and have not taken God into account. For two centuries, Jesus gave the answer to man for everything, He said: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28. And his Word is still valid in these times, to present itself as a solution option for the problems that afflict the world today. Yes, dear brother and sister, Jesus Christ is the answer for:
1) Spiritual and material poverty:
Philippians 4:19 “My GOD will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Paul gives the Philippians this promise after emphasizing that God’s grace had been sufficient for him in good times and hard times, in times of plenty and times of scarcity. The key to this promise is not God’s provision but the fact that we can trust him to meet what we need most in Christ Jesus.
a) But when this promise comes true when we are faithful to the Lord: Proverbs 3:9-10 honor the Lord with your goods, and with the first fruits of all your fruits, and your barns will be filled with abundance, and your vats will overflow of must
b) When we are faithful to the service: Matthew 6:33 but seek first the kingdom of GOD and his justice, and all these things will be added to you. How do we want the Lord to bless us if we are not faithful to serve him Hebrews 10:25 not leaving to congregate, as some have the custom.
c) When we honor the deer of GOD: 1 Timothy 5:17 “The elders who govern well, are considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work in preaching and teaching. For the scripture says: you shall not muzzle the ox that threshes; and: worthy is the laborer of his wages.” Faithful Church Leaders Must Be Supported and Appreciated: How do you treat church servants? Do you enjoy finding fault with them or do you show your appreciation? Paul emphasizes to bless those who guide him and teach them Galatians 6:6 he who is taught in the word, let him who instructs him share in every good thing.
2) Problems at home:
One of the desires of the devil is to want to destroy the family is to want to see homes destroyed and see marriages destroyed. The word of GOD speaks to us in John 10:10 the thief comes to steal and kill and destroy.
In II Kings 4, we find the story of Elisha. Elisha came and prophesied to the Shulammite woman and afterward, she gave birth. But a few years later, we find out that little boy got sick and died. Something came to upset the fate of his family. And the devil wants to stir up the love of your family. He wants to divide his relationship with your husband, with your children. he wants to destroy what God promises you will be a blessing. Never let the devil say that your family is not a blessing
But the word of GOD is told to us in Acts 16:31 believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house will be saved. Pablo and Sillas took family unity seriously and GOD also loves family unity and respect in children towards parents and also husbands. But more than that, the only thing the devil has dedicated himself to is destroying homes.
3) Diseases of any kind:
The devil wants to see you sick so that you cannot serve the Lord and wants me to believe that GOD cannot help you Matthew 9:35 Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all sickness and disease in the town. The Lord has the power to heal you, to heal you no matter what your illness is, he wants to help you because for him nothing is impossible. Luke 1:37 because nothing is impossible for GOD.
And He wants to heal his people says the word of GOD in Jeremiah 33:6: behold, I will bring them healing and medicine; and I will heal them, and I will show them an abundance of peace and truth.
Now listen well, he not only wants to heal the illnesses of the body but also the illnesses of the soul: and what are the illnesses of the soul? They are those wounds or problems that have marked us in our lives. I don’t know what those wounds or problems will be that have marked you but let me tell you that Jesus can heal those wounds the word of GOD tells us that Jesus said in. Luke 4:18 The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted. The word brokenhearted refers to soul-wounded halas.
4) The vices of shadow and death:
How many Christians today serve the Lord but have not yet changed their way of life, are still trapped by the vices of cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and parties. Christians who have been in the church for years and still have not changed since the word of GOD tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 so that if anyone is in Christ he is a new creature; old things passed away; behold, they are all new.
Let me tell you that Christ is the only one who can manage to change this way of living, so he did it with me and he will do it with you. Daniel 6:4 then the governors and satraps looked for an occasion to blame DANIEL in relation to the kingdom but they could not find any occasion or fault, because he was faithful, and no vice or fault was found in him.
Conclusion:
Only Jesus Christ is the answer he is the only one we can turn to may GOD bless you.
The Eternal shows a difficult future, He shows you things that will challenge your history. The future that the Father shows you is to consolidate your present and you will know that you are going to go through difficulties, but the important thing is not the beginning but the end. Difficulties are part of the consolidation of a glorious destiny, because your descendants will have a powerful inheritance.
2. The men of the future walk in covenant.
Abram saw things that many do not want and are not prepared to see. But he understood that it was the consolidation of the promises. Before reaching the future you will face difficulties.
What did the Eternal show Abram after the pact? I want you to know that after a pact everything is revealed. The future is revealed to covenant men. The more pacts you make, the more revelation of the future you will have.
Now watch; after the revealed pact, a war is waged. After the Eternal revealed the pact, the birds of prey came. Genesis 15: 11. (NASB) “And the birds of prey descended on the sacrificed animals, but Abram drove them away.” Birds of prey measure up to 1.85 m. They were so big that they could kill buffalo, lions. Now imagine Abram, a man of approximately 1.70 m, of advanced age, warring and fighting with the birds of prey, so that they would not eat the sacrifice.
The birds of prey had two goals; the sacrifice that is already open and Abram, the man who was sacrificing for the Eternal. But, when it got dark, they left without being able to eat the sacrifice and the pact. Abram fought and drove the birds of prey out of the territory. Abram did not let anyone eat his covenant.
No one can eat from your pact, not vultures, not birds of prey, nothing and no one. The pact cannot be invaded by unclean animals, the territory cannot be taken. You can’t rest until the vultures leave the territory. You must fight so that nothing and no one steals your pact with the Eternal.
All of us who have made a pact suffer the attack of the robbers that enter the territory to take advantage of the signs of the pact. Many come to take advantage of the pact you have with the Eternal, they walk with you to eat from the pact. But they don’t want to be one with you, they don’t want to stick to the pact. These are the birds of prey that have invaded your territory and; They will do everything possible so that you break your pact with the Father.
Understand that your future cannot be compromised with the birds of prey that arrive in the territory. Abram the Eternal gave him a supernatural strength not to allow anything to emigrate and destroy his pact.
Today I come to prophesy that the Eternal will give you the necessary strength to fight for your marriage covenant, your leadership, the ministry, etc.
Now another unknown arises. If Abram had already done the prophetic act, why fight for what apparently has no value?
You know, because the signs of the covenant reveal who we are. In marriage a sign of covenant is used. Do not let anything muddy your covenant, fight against everything that rises to take your covenant, if Abram had let the birds of prey eat the sign of the covenant, the fire would not have come, the torch would not have been lit, the signs of the kingdom would not have manifested themselves and the Eternal would not have sold on his pact. Genesis 15: 17. (BT) And it came to pass that when the sun went down, a thick darkness came over, and there appeared a smoldering fire, and a torch of fire passed between those pieces.”
Many times, before the pact is consolidated, someone comes to steal it. Only those who know how to fight for their pact will have a future, to fight for their pact. There are many who want to succeed, conquer, but do not persevere in the pact, they let anything come and eat their pact.
There is a risk in seeing the future; and it is the Eternal revealing the future and you not being there, there is nothing more painful than seeing the future, knowing that the conquest is imminent, but you will not be there. Deuteronomy 1: 37. (BT) “(because YHVH was also angry with me because of you, and he said to me: You shall not enter there either)”.
The Eternal does not show the future to those who do not walk in covenant. The Eternal showed him four hundred years, and four thousand years ahead. John 8: 56. (BT) “Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”
3. Three things to enter the future.
Restore character.
People are convicted of lying and acquitted for telling the truth. There are no teams to detect truths, but lies. The day that Abram lied, the glory of the Eternal was not with him, with his call. Genesis 20: 2. (BT) “And Abraham said regarding Sarah, his wife: she is my sister. So Abimelech king of Gerar commanded to take Sarah.” The call is compromised when the lie enters.
Today you need to reconcile with the Eternal and apologize for the lies if you want to see the future.
Do not negotiate the mantle.
Negotiating the anointing and the mantle was another mistake for Abram. Sarah was the guarantee of the anointing and the mantle. The promise was given to Abram, but the mantle of promise could only be fulfilled through the prophetic womb of Sarah. And when Abram traded Sarah, it made the Father’s heart restless. Genesis 20: 3 – 6. (BT) “But ‘Elohim came to Abimelech in…
