He is not afraid and continues His ministry moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"pt-PT\"><span class=\"notranslate\"> Let me tell you something: if you keep the Word of Jesus, eternal life belongs to you, because the Lord alone has the words of eternal life, of salvation, liberation and words of healing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"pt-PT\"><span class=\"notranslate\"> You know, in the world we live in, people like many &#8220;vain discussions,&#8221; speeches that lead nowhere and will often want to back them up with the things of God.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\"> I say to you: do not waste time with these discussions, open your heart, welcome the words of Jesus.
