Mensagem ministrada no dia 11/10/2012 na Igreja Congregacional do Açude.
As três faltas que causam a falta de fé. Deus me deu essa mensagem num momento de muitas dúvidas a um ano atrás, me ensinando o que é ter fé e o que impede que ela aconteça. Eu listo nessa mensagem os três pontos que Deus me chamou atenção.
- Falta de Memória
"Porque te lembrarás que foste servo na terra do Egito, e que o SENHOR teu Deus te tirou dali com mão forte e braço estendido; por isso o SENHOR teu Deus te ordenou que guardasses o dia de sábado." (Deuteronômio 5 : 15)
No antigo testamento vemos o povo de Israel a nação escolhida por Deus, a nação eleita povo santo, por diversas vezes contendendo e murmurando com o Deus Jeová. Por diversas vezes lendo o antigo testamento encontraremos Deus falando ao povo, Eu sou o Senhor teu Deus que te tirou da terra do Egito. Deus repetia isso com frequência ao povo pois eles a cada momento de dificuldade e aflição a qual parecia não haver solução pareciam se esquecer de tudo quanto Deus já havia feito, o Deus que subjulgou a faraó , o Deus que abriu o mar vermelho e tantos prodígios fez era comumente esquecido por seu povo que constantemente se rebelava. Será que foi só o povo de Israel que agia dessa forma, ou nós Cristãos, servos do Senhor Jesus também não fazemos isso por diversas vezes frente as dificuldades? Muitas vezes nos esquecemos Quem é e o que fez por nós o nosso Deus, nos esquecemos que o nosso Deus entregou seu próprio filho por nós, nos tirou do lamaçal do pecado , nos curou, nos batizou e vive a nos abençoar, esse esquecimento, essa falta de memória tem causado a morte da nossa fé.
- Falta de um amor incondicional
"Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna." (João 3 : 16)
A palavra de Deus nos mostra que Deus nos amou e nos ama com um amor que é incondicional que não coloca condições. A bíblia diz que Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que entregou o seu filho Unigênito para todo o que nele crê não pereça mas tenha a vida eterna, e qual foi a condição que Deus colocou para nós, por nos amar? Nenhuma! E nós temos amado a Deus sem colocar condições, temos o amado quando Ele não faz a nossa, quando Ele não nos dá o que queremos, quando Ele se cala, quando Ele prova a nossa fé e permite as dificuldades acontecerem? Se o nosso amor a Deus estiver condicionado e for dependente das condições nos não viveremos por fé, nos não teremos fé, e sem fé é impossível agradar a Deus.
- Falta de dependência
"Uns confiam em carros e outros em cavalos, mas nós faremos menção do nome do SENHOR nosso Deus." (Salmos 20 : 7)
O mundo hoje tem ensinado a tudo e a todos a independência, tem pregado uma mentira de que ser livre e fazer o que quiser, cometer todo o tipo de pecado e de aberação e ser escravo do pecado e cavalo do diabo. Mas a proposta de Jesus para nós não é essa. Sua proposta é sermos livres em Cristo, livres na palavra e dependentes de Deus. Enquanto não reconhecermos a nossa fraqueza e miséria e o quanto precisamos do favor dEle crendo que o poder dEle se aperfeiçoa na nossa fraqueza e continuarmos vivendo na nossa tola independência, andando com as nossas próprias forças não alcançaremos a fé, e o sobrenatural o milagre de Deus não ocorrerá na nossa vida.
Vamos combater estas faltas, vamos viver trazendo a memória aquilo que nos dá esperança, aquilo que Deus fez, faz e fará em nossas vidas, vamos amar ao Senhor incondicionalmente, ainda que a figueira não floreça e vamos reconhecê-lo como Senhor e Salvador entendendo e vivendo uma vida de total dependência a Ele, assim alcançaremos a fé, e Deus cobrirá a nossa vida de milagres, Aleluia!

Message delivered on 11/10/2012 at Congregational Church of Weir.All three faults that cause a lack of faith. God gave me this message in a time of many questions a year ago, teaching me what is faith and what prevents it from happening. I list all three points in this message that God struck me.
Insufficient memory
"For thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and an outstretched arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day." (Deuteronomy 5: 15)
In the Old Testament we see the people of Israel to God's chosen nation, the nation elected a holy people, repeatedly muttering and contending with Jehovah God. Several times reading the Old Testament we find God speaking to people, I am the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt. God repeated this often to people they every moment of difficulty and distress which there seemed no solution seemed to forget all that God had done, the God who subdued the Pharaoh that God opened the Red Sea and so many wonders did was commonly forgotten by his people who constantly rebelled. Was it only the people of Israel who acted that way, or we Christians, servants of the Lord Jesus did not do this for several times face difficulties? Often we forget Who and what we did for our God, we forget that our God gave his son for us, got us out of the mire of sin, healed us, baptized us and bless us live, this forgetting, this lack of memory has caused the death of our faith.
Lack of unconditional love"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3: 16)The word of God tells us that God loves us and loves us with a love that is unconditional that does not place conditions. The Bible says that God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son to everyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life, and what was the condition that God has for us, for loving us? No! And we have loved God without putting conditions, we loved when He does ours when He does not give us what we want, when He is silent when He tests our faith and enables the difficulties happen? If our love for God is conditioning and is dependent on conditions not live by faith, we do not have faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God.
Lack of dependence"Some trust in chariots and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God." (Psalm 20: 7)The world today has taught everyone and everything independence, has preached a lie that to be free and do what you want, commit all sorts of sin and aberação and be a slave to sin and the devil horse. But the proposal of Jesus for us is not that. His proposal is to be free in Christ, the word free and dependent on God. Until we recognize our weakness and misery and how much we need Him for believing that His power is made perfect in our weakness and continue living in our foolish independence, walking with our own forces will not reach their faith, and the supernatural miracle of God not occur in our life.Let's tackle these faults, bringing memory will live what gives us hope, what God did, does and will do in our lives, we love the Lord unconditionally, though the fig tree does not floreça and we acknowledge him as Lord and Savior understanding and living a life of total dependence on Him, and attain faith, and God will cover our life of miracles, Hallelujah!Preacher Lucas de Jesus A.
