What a request!
Look, my God, I gave everything so the Lord has to fulfill my dream which is to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Bishop Edir Macedo www.bispomacedo.com.br/en Follow me on Twitter

The Altar called me
What would have been of Abraham without the Altar? He became the greatest reference of faith because when the altar called him, he responded: HERE I AM! Mount Moriah called Abraham. Mount Sinai called Moses. Mount Carmel called Elijah. The Altar also called Gideon. The Lord Jesus, who represents the Altar, calls those who are

The conflict between reason and feelings
When there is no conflict, there is no sacrifice! Conflict is what reveals the sacrifice that God is asking us to place on the Altar. The devil becomes despaired, because he knows what the Holy Spirit will accomplish in the life of an obedient person that sacrifices. Therefore, he does everything to keep us from

God’s calendar
Man makes plans by using a natural calendar, which passes one day at a time. When, for example, a person schedules an appointment a month from today, they have to wait 30 days to go to their scheduled appointment. Or, when you call to ask for some service and are told that you can only
God’s scale

Daniel 5.27 When it comes to general trade, a scale is known for being important in weighing various types of materials, from the lightest to the heaviest. It has to be accurate, to ensure that the consumer pays a fair price and is not deceived.

The madness of sacrificial faith
Who would’ve believed that calling weak people to war would actually bring a victory? (Joel 3.10) Who would’ve thought that asking widows to give everything they had would actually help them? (1 Kings 17.8-15 and Mark 12.41-44) Who would believe that, after giving everything, a person will receive one hundred times more now and in

What if the Altar went on strike?
The truck drivers went on strike, and Brazil came to a grinding halt because of them. A strike of this magnitude left the entire population without access to basic necessities, such as food and transportation. But I wonder: what if the same happened with God and His Altar? What if, for one day, our Lord

Does God need money?
If God does not need money, why ask for the first fruits? I would like you to think with me about the question God asked the prophet Eli: Why do you… honor your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people? 1 Samuel 2.29
