Council

We must understand that my presence here is not like that of a referee or judge,

In that case it would be necessary to consider that you are adversaries and not companions

I'm here as a teammate so we can work like that as a team

And teamwork requires sacrifice, carrying each other's burdens without taking care that no one takes advantage of the generosity of the other

Galatia 6:2 bear the burdens of each other, and thus fulfill the law of Christ

The first thing we must do is recognize that in ourselves, as human beings, we do not have the resources to solve anything,

And that if we have difficulties it has to be God who solves them

That's why we were going to PRAY,

That then leads us to depend on God to resolve every conflict and difficulty,

Do not fall into the temptation of wanting to show a strong and vigorous appearance as the main part of your personality, to show others that everything is fine

If something hurts or there is affliction, communicate it first to God, and then to each other

Do not try to fight a battle alone, which is supposed to be fought as an army

James 5:13 Is any of you afflicted? Pray. Is anyone happy? Sing praises. 14 Is anyone sick among you? Call the elders of the church, and pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

In the spiritual life wars are a reality, we have a real enemy who will seek our destruction

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and so that they may have it in abundance these are the purposes and intentions of Satan

But those intentions and purposes are active and he is actually looking for these things

1Pedro 5:7 pouring all your anxiety on him, because he takes care of you. 8 Be sober, and watch; for your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walks around looking for someone to devour; 9 to whom you resist firm in faith, knowing that the same ailments are fulfilled in your brothers in all the world

Two things we must know that are very important #1 God is with us, personally

Deuteronomy 31:3 Jehovah your God, he passes before you; he will destroy these nations before you, and you will inherit them;

6 Strive and take courage; do not be afraid, nor be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you; he will not leave you, nor will he forsake you.

Matthew 28:19 Therefore, go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; 20 teaching them to keep all the things that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you every day, until the end of the world. Amen

#2 God wants to start by removing the temos, (fear)

John 14: 27 I leave you peace, I give you my peace; I do not give it to you as the world gives it. Don't be troubled your heart, nor be afraid
