How to Conquer and Stablish

 The most difficult victory in a human being's life is the conquering of his salvation. He has to sacrifice his everything upon the altar in order to accomplish it. The Lord Jesus said, "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 10:37-39This is the price paid by those who want to conquer the salvation of their souls; there are many who have done that and consequently they have conquered their salvation. However, many of those who one day had the assurance of salvation, after sometimes they lost it. They went back to their former type of miserable life in which they used to live before they came to God. This has happened exactly with those who haven't established their salvation. One thing is to receive a blessing and other thing is to establish what you have received. Maybe the blessing that you have received is healing, prosperity, sentimental or a spiritual blessing, it is for you to keep it and remain in the same quality of faith that led you to conquer that blessing. Nevertheless, many who have been blessed with healing, prosperity and principally salvation, after sometimes they lose it. Why has this happened to them? Because they relax in their faith, they stop pushing themselves as they used to do in the beginning, and of course, they fail. If you have the certainty that you have already conquered your salvation, and you are a new creature born of the Holy Spirit. Then you should keep it by establishing your communion with God. Don't let satan deceive you with the pleasure of this world. Don't be deceived by what your eyes have seen nor by what you have heard everyday. Unfortunately, many who used to be strong in faith and were very active in the presence of God and in His work are going backward. They were those in which God could count on for everything, but now they are going down little by little. They are at the point of seeing in their lives again those problems that they had overcame when they first came to church. They've been always sad, weak, busy, and carrying a very low self-esteem. No matter what has happened in the church, nothing has motivated them. They have no pleasure to take part of what the Holy Spirit has directed us to do. Don't let the fire of God depart from you, but keep it burning day after day. because you will need it in the future.  "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'” Revelation3:12, 13 Share this message with a friend and be blessed. Bishop Carlos
