The promise for the Church of Christ is greater than we thought. Even if someone gets angry with about us for being opposed to our faith, that would be enough for them to receive divine punishment, which would reduce them to nothing. In other words, the Lord is attentive to everything done against the work carried out by His servants to bring the message of the Good News to the lost. We need to be more combative!

We must never scare people. Now, if they oppose the evangelization of those who do not yet know the faith in Jesus, we can use the resources provided by the Lord to announce the Gospel to them. We need to pray that they come out of the position that prevents them from receiving Jesus. The Most High says: Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. (Psalm 2.8).      

The Lord does not lack the power to meet our demands. If He sends us to preach the Good News, He will certainly not leave us without help if we need to go a little further in order to fulfill the mission. We must not let God become frustrated with people who do not allow the lost to hear from us the healthiest and purest message on the face of the Earth. We must use our right (Mark 11:23).

All of a sudden, we can open doors that have been closed for a long time. We will do this according to the will of the Lord, praying and determining that nothing will hinder the advancement of the Gospel. If we remain on the sidelines of faith, crying and complaining, trying to find ways to step into these fields, nothing will happen. We need to imitate the early Church: Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word (Acts 4.29).

The priests of Judaism no longer knew what to do. Suddenly, their power, which was not from the Holy Spirit but rather political, crumbled. Peter and John were used in such a way as to make them tremble with fear. When they threatened the apostles, they prayed for the Name of Jesus to work even more: by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus (Acts 4.30). God heard them!

The apostles realized that the fear of the religious leaders was that the great miracles would make the whole people open their eyes, and that would ruin them (Acts 4:15-22). The servants of the Lord asked, and the answer came quickly, with a new work from the Father: And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4.31). Our God wants to be called upon so that He can act in a different way!

We do not have to provoke anyone, but live according to the divine plan for our days. In this way, people will be amazed to see what the Most High can do. May God send us people like Peter and John, Paul and Silas, so that they may make every brother and sister in Christ a valiant worker of Heaven! We can evangelize our generation with the power that the Lord has given us!       

In Christ, with love,
