not based on screaming; but by the power of the Holy Spirit<\/span><\/h2>\n

“Not by might nor by might, but by my Spirit, declares the Lord with all power”<\/i>\u00a0(Zech. 4: 6)<\/span><\/p>\n

Often, we want to sort things out by force, at the base of it all we scream.<\/span>\u00a0Thus, moved by emotions, we speak, fight and curse.<\/span>\u00a0But our emotions betray us and hurt us.<\/span>\u00a0Many things we do because of our emotions, when, in fact, we should never have acted that way.<\/span>\u00a0We get carried away by emotion, by feeling.<\/span>\u00a0In general, we face the problems of marriage driven by feeling, by emotion.<\/span>\u00a0We spoke what we should not have said and spoiled many things.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let your heart and your head learn this: to forgive your brother or sister, open your heart and live in love.<\/span>\u00a0If it is not for the Spirit, we cannot really forgive.<\/span>\u00a0How many parents were disappointed with their son, or daughter and put them out of the house!<\/span>\u00a0But it is necessary to change and not solve things like that.<\/span>Many children also live in resentment and sorrow for things their parents did, but it must be said that this revolt does not come from God.<\/span>\u00a0People make mistakes, even good parents make mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is necessary to live the love, do not continue being puppet of the tempter, that, coward who puts the poison of revolt in your heart.<\/span>\u00a0What the tempter most desires, today, is to blow up our families, and he uses us to achieve this.<\/span>\u00a0He looks for and places in our heads reasons to disappoint us.<\/span>\u00a0He wants to use us as “cannon fodder” to blow up our family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disappointment makes us act instinctively and do things we did not even know we could do.<\/span>\u00a0If it is not let out, it explodes inside.<\/span>\u00a0That is where we become instruments of the tempter, this can not continue.<\/span>\u00a0But in this situation where you are alone, God can help you.<\/span>\u00a0Sometimes it’s not revolt, just hurt and resentment.<\/span>\u00a0Many people do not have peace anymore, because they live in disappointment, they feel betrayed, they live “exploding”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reasons why you are resentful and sad can kill you.<\/span>\u00a0God wants to put an end to their wrong attitudes.<\/span>\u00a0It is He who is there to give you his hand.<\/span>\u00a0The Lord is telling you, “Open to receive my Holy Spirit,” He is giving it to you for free.<\/span><\/p>\n
