Jēzus ir nācis, lai sagrautu visus sātana darbus un parādītu Dieva darbus

Jesus came into this world that he might destroy the works of the devil and he might reveal God´s works

Lai Jums žēlastība un miers no mūsu Kunga, Jēzus Kristus!

Es sveicinu jūs mūsu rubrikā „Ikdienas vārds garīgajam stiprinājumam”!

Vakar mēs sākām izskatīt situāciju, kura ir aprakstīta Jāņa Evaņģēlijā – par cilvēku, kas bija neredzīgs kopš dzimšanas.

„Un, garām ejot, Viņš ieraudzīja cilvēku, kas no dzimšanas bija neredzīgs.  Viņa mācekļi Viņam jautāja: “Rabi, kas ir grēkojis, viņš pats vai viņa vecāki, ka viņš neredzīgs piedzimis?” Jēzus atbildēja: “Ne viņš ir grēkojis, ne viņa vecāki, bet Dieva darbiem vajag parādīties viņā.” (Jāņa ev. 9:1-3).

Jēzus teica, ka šī cilvēka aklums nebija saistīts ar viņa paša grēkiem vai viņa vecāku grēkiem. Problēmu bija izraisījis cits avots, kuru Jēzus konkrēti nemin. Neskatoties uz to, ka Jēzus konkrēti nemin šo avotu, ir acīmredzams, ka sātans bija šī cilvēka akluma avots. Bet tieši dēļ tā, Jēzus ir nācis, lai sagrautu visus sātana darbus un parādītu Dieva darbus.

„Kas dara grēku, ir no velna, jo velns grēko no sākuma. Tamdēļ Dieva Dēls atnācis, lai Viņš iznīcinātu velna darbus” (1Jāņa 3:8).

Sātans nodara sāpes, zog, nogalina un pazudina cilvēkus, bet Kristū – Dievs nāk un parāda Savu spēku un žēlastību. Jēzū Kristū, Dievs dziedina slimos, piedod grēkus, atjauno likteņus, atbrīvo no lāstiem un ļauno garu ietekmes. Nedaudz vēlāk, mēs konkrēti parunāsim par sātanu, kā par bēdu un ciešanu avotu. Šodien, es gribētu, lai mēs ieraugam, ka arī citu cilvēku grēki ir ciešanu un sāpju avots.

Kā jau mēs runājām, ka vēl bez personīgajiem grēkiem, sāpes un ciešanas cilvēka dzīvē var izraisīt citu cilvēku grēki. Nešķīstība, nelikumības un netaisnība no apkārtējo cilvēku puses – tas viss var kļūt par ciešanu iemeslu mūsu un mūsu mīļoto cilvēku dzīvē. Lūk, tāpēc kristiešiem ir jādara viss, kas no viņiem atkarīgs, lai sludinātu Evaņģēliju citiem cilvēkiem. Jo vairāk būs patiesu kristiešu, jo mazāk uz šīs zemes būs traģēdijas un ciešanas. Kad ticīgie tiks paņemti no šīs zemes, tad sāksies lielo ciešanu laiks.

Mēs ar jums jau runājām, ka ciešanu līmeni uz mūsu planētas varēs samazināt tikai tad, kad cilvēki vērsīsies pie Dieva.

„Caur tiklo ļaužu svētību pilsēta tiek paaugstināta, bet bezdievīgo runu dēļ tā tiek sagrauta” (Sal. pam. 11:11).
„Kad pārsvars taisno pusē, tad klājas labi, bet, ja pārsvaru iegūst bezdievīgie, ļaudis slēpjas” (Sal. pam. 28:12).
„Taisnība tautu paaugstina, bet grēks ir tautu negods” (Sal. pam. 34:34).

Visas šīs Rakstu vietas liecina par to, ka tikai taisnie un taisnība, var traģēdiju un skumju vietā, – dot nācijai uzvaru un prieku. Attiecīgi, Evaņģēlija sludināšana ir viens no līdzekļiem ar kura palīdzību var stāties pretī grēkam un grēka sekām – stāties pretī ļaunumam. Evaņģēlija sludināšana – ir viens no Dieva visaptverošākajiem ieročiem, kurš ir pieejams katram kristietim un kurš ir spējīgs uzvarēt visus sātana ļaunprātīgos nodomus.

„…kājas apāvuši ar apņemšanos kalpot miera evaņģēlijam…”  (Efeziešiem 6:15).

Evaņģēlija sludināšana pasaulē – ir viens no veidiem, kā Dievs satriec sātanu zem mūsu kājām, jo Evaņģēlija sludināšana liek miera Dievam darboties.

„Bet miera Dievs drīzumā samīs sātanu apakš jūsu kājām! Mūsu Kunga Jēzus žēlastība lai ir ar jums! Amen” (Romiešiem 16:20).

Mēs darām labu sev, kad liecinām un sludinām Evaņģēliju citiem cilvēkiem.

Un tā, bieži vien, citu cilvēku grēki ir iemesls daudzām traģēdijām.

Rīt, mēs izskatīsim dažus piemērus no Bībeles par to, kā dažu cilvēku grēki kļuva par ciešanu un traģēdiju iemeslu citu cilvēku dzīvēs.

Līdz rītdienai!

Ar Dieva mieru!

    The world is changing very rapidly. I am convinced that new changes will come into our lives with an increasing speed. If I told you about different predictions and ideas that experts have about our future, then the hearts of many people would be filled with fear. One pastor spoke to me about it and I saw his heart getting filled with fear after hearing all the predictions. He asked me what to do with all of it; is it worth making big plans if all these terrible things are inevitably coming upon the earth? I told him that – thank God – we have the Bible that contains all the answers.

  • Worthy Goal for Life II

    Yesterday we started talking about our goals. Everyone has them. We discussed that there are worthy and less worthy goals. We also saw that after meeting Christ, Paul devoted his life to Him; earnest expectation of Christ to be glorified in his body and through his life became his main goal in life. It is very important to ascertain for ourselves what our goals are.You and I have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ and we have peace with God. But it is just the beginning. Having been reconciled with God is just the beginning of the Christian walk. What awaits us afterwards? Through faith we gain Access to God’s grace and we expect the glory of God to be progressively revealed in us and through us.

  • Expect the best from God, adjust your life to the supernatural intervention from God, but do not forget to do your own part

    Go for the best that God has in store for your life. Sometimes we slow down our breakthrough because we choose survival instead of coveting abundant life. Jesus has come that we may have life and life in abundance, instead of just having small drops of blessings. Let us look at the story of the lame man in the book of Acts of Apostles.

  • How to develop a habit of prayer in our life? III

    As you know, human life consists of habits. There are also good and bad habits. Any habit that brings a positive outcome requires some efforts and discipline from us. Unless we have a habit of praying our prayer life will never become effective neither fruitful. Let me quote the statement of an Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle who once said about habits – “We are the product of what we repeatedly do”. In other words, our habits are our essence. Therefore, in order to excel at something, we have to make it our habit.

  • We must learn to think big!

    God’s Kingdom is bigger than just a church; the Kingdom cannot be hidden inside the church walls. The Bible tells us that we are salt to the earth and light to the world. It means that our ministry has to go beyond the boarders of a church and leave an impact on the city, the country and the world. We need to think of how to salt the earth and enlighten the world.We should start locally; but we must think globally. «You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth», – said Jesus in Acts (1: 8).

  • What are you doing with your talent?

    I pray that all of us would hear this not only with our ears, but with our hearts. This parable of Jesus is about the Kingdom of God. One of the things Jesus taught intensively was the Kingdom of God. And there were serious reasons for it. The kingdoms of this earth will pass away, and a new Kingdom will come – the Kingdom of God. Jesus brought God’s Kingdom to the earth, and He desires us to know this Kingdom, seeking it and living in it. It says in the Bible that first of all we must seek the Kingdom and its righteousness. It is not that easy, because there is another kingdom that opposes God and pulls our hearts. That is why Jesus spoke intensively about God’s Kingdom, and almost all of His parables are about God’s Kingdom.
