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!

  • We are the new creation in Christ Jesus, made for good deeds the Lord has determined for us II

    «For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.» (Ephesians 2:8-10). Here we can see that person is not made righteous by his deeds. God never declares somebody righteous by his many good works. Vice verse, God makes righteous those who accept His gift by faith, namely Christ Jesus. A person becomes good in God´s eyes by faith when he believes in good works God has done in Christ.

  • Rejoice in the Lord! II

    Dear friends, God once again delights to tell us to serve Him with gladness. Jesus once told His disciples: «Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven» (Luke, 10:20). If your name has been written in the Book of Life, if you are a child of God, then you are also a co-heir of Christ. And it is more than enough reason to motivate any of us to rejoice and thank God for every day of our lives.

  • If you believe that you already have a breakthrough and victory in prayer, then start praying for your brothers and sisters!

    What are we going to do with the truth we have heard – the truth about importance and crucial nature of prayer? We must change! First, we need to ask God to help us to pray constantly. Second, we may ask other people you consider being strong in prayer to pray for you and help you put your prayer life in order. There is no shame in asking someone to pray for you. I remember a period in my life when I had lost a desire to pray; it seemed boring and my prayer seemed lifeless. And for some reason I wasn’t able to change it.

  • What are the grounds or foundations of favour? II

    Through faith in Jesus Christ we become clothed in his righteousness and nature. In the our spirit we have the perfect character of the Almighty God even though we do not become perfect in our actions immediately after becoming followers of Jesus. We reflect God’s life, character and thoughts more and more in our lives to that extent to which we submit ourselves to the new nature in our spirit. Our daily submission to God’s nature and character in us is what I call practical righteousness that qualifies us for God’s favour.

  • Your gift will make room for you! II

    «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16). Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries. For example, Dr. T.L. Osborn saw that people needed salvation, so he started meeting this need to the best of his ability: he started printing little tracts on his printing machine and went door to door leaving them in their post boxes. At the time he couldn’t even imagine that it will lead him to huge international evangelistic ministry that he has today.

  • Not only prayer helps us enter God’s presence, it is a source for godly revelations

    Moses received messages from God because he spent time with Him. If you want to be effective servant of God, whatever the quality of your ministry would be, you must learn to receive the messages from God. God knows the needs of people whom you serve. He will always give you fresh manna that the people whom you serve would be fed and encouraged every day. If you want to be a successful Christian, allow God to give you a fresh word from heaven every day. Then you will always be fresh and fruitful.
