Steemchurch: I want a church

in #steemchurch7 years ago (edited)

Hebrews 12:12 - Wherefore, lift up your hands, and your knees are paralyzed; 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that I take it not to get out of the way, but to be healed. 14 Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. 15 Look well, lest something fail to reach the grace of God; that some root of bitterness springing up bothers you, and by it many are defiled; 16 lest there be a fornicator, or profane, like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright. 28 Therefore, when we receive an unshakeable kingdom, let us have gratitude, and through it we serve God by pleasing him with fear and reverence, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.


I'm going to talk about the characteristics of the church that God wants.

# 1 A church that does not give up

12 Wherefore, lift up your hands, and your knees are paralyzed; there are two weapons that are needed to defeat the enemy one is holding hands and the other is on the knees is the sword of the spirit and prayer.

When you see a race many compete but only one raises the hands up the winner, the others make gestures of frustration others of fatigue. Only one raises his hands as a sign of the winner. In life in the family in the church God wants leaders who do not give up, if you love the church you do not give up for anything that happens, if you love your wife or husband do not give up for any little problem, if you love what you do not you surrender, there is something that gives pleasure to the devil and are people who surrender, the kingdom of heaven if you want to reach it, if you want to go with Christ you have to persevere because the Bible says Matthew 24:13 But he who perseveres until order, this will be saved. Do not give up, Jesus tells you I did not give up and I did it for you, do not give up do it for me, you want to give up, it's nobody's fault, just yours, that's a decision that only I can make. So for the church to be empty it has to be a church that does not give up and for that you need leaders who do not surrender, if you walk with God it is impossible to surrender because he has never surrendered nor will he do so. will drop you if you have your eyes on Jesus you can not surrender, church do not give up.

# 2 A church that heals the wounded.

13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that I take it not to get out of the way, but to be healed.

Luke 10: 25-37 tells the story they already know about the good Samaritan. And in verses 33 But a Samaritan, who was on his way, came near him, and when he saw him, he was moved with mercy;
34 And approaching, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and putting him on his mount, he took him to the inn, and took care of him. To heal the needy one does not need time or tools, nor experience only love is needed, when you love you do not look at the time when you help someone when you love you do not look at the tools that you have the Samaritan use what he had in a moment of need, you have that like the Samaritan help the needy.

God wants a church full of love do not take as it says see 13 of Hebrews 12, straighten your paths your paths walk right not where you want, while looking for a shortcut you know you start to limp and when one limps everything the world sees it is impossible to try to hide being lame without pain you can do but it will hurt too much, that's the pride hurts but you keep holding the pain tell that no one sees that you are lame, but when you recognize I'm lame there is always going to get a good samaritan with balm to heal you, if God does not reject Judas and let him eat in the intimate dinner with Him, as we are going to reject someone, not sin is sin but God is God and a God of forgiveness, so give him the opportunity on this day to be healed if you are limping because I want a Church that heals for God wants a church that heals the fallen.

# 3 A church that seeks holiness.

14 Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

Why does God want a church that seeks holiness? Because without it you will not be able to see God, to see God here on earth means to walk in his presence, and when you walk in his presence miracles that come through the holiness that gives the Holy Spirit of God begin to happen. Seeing God here on earth means having Faith.

Having Faith means seeing the things that are not as if they were and when you see the things that are not as if they were, it is seeing the visible invisible and when you get used to seeing the invisible visible, you know that you will be able to see Jesus who is in all !!! and when you see Jesus you know that you are under the anointing and when walking under the anointing wonderful things happen miracles, wonders and signs: in other words holiness is received by the holy spirit and in perseverance and search of God and if we give freedom to the Spirit Holy of God, that is the one who heals, the one who liberates, the one who works miracles; it means that this church is going to be a church of miracles and wonders and signs always happen but it is still missing that God put in his place because let me tell the leaders something, if you are a leader and you are playing with God you are in another vision that is not God's vision for new life. You can leave with your but for a short time, because God will fix us in any way, because God already promised a revival and He will do it just need the CHURCH to seek holiness. All those who want to see God seek holiness, and to see God in heaven means that you will be an eternity with Him if you persevered to the end !!!!

# 4 A unity church.

15 Take heed, lest anyone fail to obtain the grace of God; that some root of bitterness springing up bothers you, and by it many are defiled; 16 lest there be a fornicator, or profane, like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.

Without the grace of God you have no salvation because salvation is received by grace, and one of the things that impede salvation are the roots of bitterness, says the Bible, and the root of bitterness is a sign that there is no unity, but In a united town there is no root of bitterness. How many want more souls to reach the ways of the Lord? How many want to see these full seats be sincere? Well, it can only be achieved through unity.

I do not give up because Matthew 24:13 says that he who perseveres will be saved. I will help the needy and I know that you will do it because that brings blessing. I want holiness every day and I know that you will also do it because it brings the power of God and miracles through unity.

Look how good and how delicious it is to inhabit the brothers together in harmony! 2 It is like good oil on the head, Which descends on the beard, The beard of Aaron, And goes down to the edge of his garments; 3 Like the dew of Hermon, which descends on the mountains of Zion; For there Jehovah sends blessing, and eternal life. Psalm 133.

Here I leave a song that I like very much: My church

My church

I bought a church so long ago
At the price of blood between raw pain
It's been so long since I sent my son
To rescue what was lost
It's been so long since I've been wanting
That humble delivery, of a worshiper
That only prostrates before my presence
And not to the offers of a position
I've been wishing for so long
Show my image, which is that of love
That is not confused between so many people
That is different only as I
Do not divide as you usually do
Going into contentions, and in discussion
Seeking to be bigger than the other
If in the universe, the great one is me
I want a church that gives me the glory
And try the union
I want a church, to heal the wounded
Let him break chains, free the captive
That clarifies the mind of the one who is confused
and let him speak truthfully.

Nice of you to list the characteristics of the church. The steem church would continue to grow in these qualities.
The first church on the blockchain is marching on from strength to strength.

A unified and holy church that takes the word of God seriously and cares for the salvation of its members is definitely a church God would want. The modern day churches should strive to have the above listed qualities.
