What does God do?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hello to all cybernauts!<\/p>\n<p>It is a pleasure to be here with you. Last week, I did not have an opportunity to record an audio, but today we are here\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We have been speaking about love, but specifically about\u00a0<em><strong>God\u2019s love<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When we come to know the love of God, we come to know who He is, and how He acts.<\/p>\n<p>And it is this that I want to call to your attention, because if you learn how to know who God is and how He acts, then certainly it is in that way that you are going to love Him and desire to do the things that please Him.<\/p>\n<p>In the book of<strong>\u00a0Isaiah 48: 9<\/strong>, it is written the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;For my own name\u2019s sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as to not destroy you completely. &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Observe that God loves His name, this reveals that He does not hate Himself and that He has respect for Himself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For my own name\u2019s sake I delay my wrath\u2026\u201d\u00a0When you get really angry, what is your will? Maybe it is to express yourself in an aggressive manner in your way of speaking or to attack the other person, to hurt them in some way; you don\u2019t want things to remain the way they are\u2026 So, most of the time, you take hasty actions.<\/p>\n<p>But look at what God says: \u201cFor my own name\u2019s sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you\u201d.\u00a0He loves His name, so He delays His Wrath and for the sake of His praise, He holds Himself back. In other words, He stops so He doesn\u2019t destroy you\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Many times, my cybernaut friend, you get angry easily and you let go of your praise, your honor. Do you know that person that is always angry? Always impatient, upset, everything offends them? That person does not have the honor, the praise of her children nor of her husband because they know that she is always with a closed\/angry face, always angry, complaining about things, always negative with life! Even when she has a little bit of reason, she loses\u2026 Because she is angered easily and always has the same type of inconvenient behavior: this makes her lose all honor, all her credibility.<\/p>\n<p>When God speaks about Himself, it allows me to mirror myself and look at my interior\u2026 Who am I? Why are you? Do you perhaps, have this affection for yourself? Do you have this love for your name?<\/p>\n<p>If you have this kind of affection for yourself, don\u2019t keep \u201cplaying\u201d with something as serious as your behavior, your attitudes; stop playing around, don\u2019t take attitudes according to your own desires\u2026\u00a0No!\u00a0You repress it, be careful, because you know that you can get into a situation that will make you suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cybernaut, I want to warn you, you who are reading this post, pay attention! \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you are a person that is always angry, your face always closed off, you live complaining about the people that have hurt you; many years have passed and you live with that annoyance, that hurt which make you lose your honor. Look at that! You lose your honor with your kids\u2026 What honor do your words have to them?<\/p>\n<p>You live relaxed, you speak in whatever manner pleases you\u2026 Your comportment as a mother, as a daughter, is the type of behavior that makes you lose your honor, your dignity,\u00a0respect, because you are always committing mistake after mistake after mistake! But it isn\u2019t the mistakes because we are all flawed\u2026 You commit mistakes because you want to! You know that you shouldn\u2019t hold grievances, that you cannot live in the past, that you shouldn\u2019t have bad eyes, that you shouldn\u2019t gossip, that you shouldn\u2019t take advantage of people\u2026 Such is the case that you have many years in the church and you open your mouth to speak bad things\u2026 and you are always doing this; what do you think is going to be the reaction of others when you say something good? You will not have any honor, any credibility!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Be just! Observe your errors! Look that God Himself has care with reactions and He is an example! Because He can destroy, get angry, but His Love is not like ours, but even so, He refrains Himself. He takes care. This to me is really an example!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Think that in everything we should be exemplary to God, but He gives us an example and shows clearly who He is! He doesn\u2019t need to tell me, or you\u2026 It wasn\u2019t necessary to write or explain about it. He could have said: \u201cLook when I am angered, it\u2019s over! It\u2019s settled! I don\u2019t make mistakes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the wrath of God exists, He gets angry every day! But his anger isn\u2019t to destroy\u2026 His anger is knowing that there are people in our midst listening to the truth and have the behavior of someone who doesn\u2019t know God. His anger is you knowing the truth and even so, you continue with the same mistakes!<\/p>\n<p>Cybernaut, if you are reading this right now and you are the type of person that lives in anger, hurt, sensitive, no one can say anything to you that you get upset\u2026 Know one thing! You are compromising your own life, you are losing the opportunity of repenting, because you keep guarding that which makes you hurt; you continue complain about life!<\/p>\n<p>Look at your own self! Observe, stop looking at others peoples\u2019 lives and resolve your own problems! Shame on you because God won\u2019t take your shame upon Himself, no! He is not going to change, you are the one that has to convert from those wrongful attitudes that you are committing. Pour out your heart before God and tell Him everything that you have been living up until now.\u00a0<strong>God is pleased with sincerity!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You cannot be perfect, but when you are sincere and assume who you really are, God is with open arms to accept you. But, when you avoid looking at your own erros, retaining, not forgiving, living a life full of anger, not being the type of person that gets upset and but soon passes\u2026 You keep guarding that hurt, that anger, something happens and you turn cold, with bad eyes, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Love yourself like God loves Himself!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Search for your own honor! Not so that people respect you, but because you love yourself and because you need to be disciplined. Don\u2019t be undisciplined!\u00a0Settle down!<\/p>\n<p>Write down below, you who identify yourself with what we have speaking about.<\/p>\n<p>Write your name, the city. Participate!<\/p>\n<p>What do you have to say? What is happening?<\/p>\n<p>Certainly if you write about your problems, I won\u2019t be able to respond, because I don\u2019t have the capability to respond to all the comments, it&#8217;s a lot of people\u2026 but we have the audios, in this case, reflections, every week that teach \u00a0you auto-discipline. Notice your errors, assume them, and resolve them with God. Take them from within yourself and God will honor you! You will see!<\/p>\n<p>A big hug to you! I await your comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You cannot be perfect, but when you are sincere and assume who you really are, God is with open arms to accept you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[150,161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-audio","category-love"],"better_featured_image":{"id":3256,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1900,"height":769,"file":"2015\/09\/ira_de_deus.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"ira_de_deus-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"ira_de_deus-300x121.jpg","width":300,"height":121,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus-300x121.jpg"},"large":{"file":"ira_de_deus-1024x414.jpg","width":1024,"height":414,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus-1024x414.jpg"},"mini-thumbnail":{"file":"ira_de_deus-110x110.jpg","width":110,"height":110,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus-110x110.jpg"},"big-medium":{"file":"ira_de_deus-320x220.jpg","width":320,"height":220,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus-320x220.jpg"},"full-post-thumbnail":{"file":"ira_de_deus-1900x748.jpg","width":1900,"height":748,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus-1900x748.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"ira_de_deus-825x325.jpg","width":825,"height":325,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus-825x325.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":0,"credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":0,"copyright":"Copyright: Volodymyr (Vladimir) Nikulin","focal_length":0,"iso":0,"shutter_speed":0,"title":"","orientation":0}},"post":3255,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2015\/09\/ira_de_deus.jpg"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Love: #3 - Before the Wrath of God.
