Tutte Foglie e Nessun Frutto E, vedendo da lontano un fico che aveva delle foglie, andò a vedere se vi trovasse qualcosa; ma, avvicinatosi ad esso, non vi trovò altro che foglie, perché non era il tempo dei fichi. Allora Gesù, rivolgendosi al fico, disse: “Nessuno mangi mai più frutto da te in eterno”. E…

Fede Inarrestabile Molti lo sgridavano affinché tacesse, ma egli gridava ancora più forte: “Figlio di Davide, abbi pietà di me!”. E Gesù, fermatosi, ordinò che lo si chiamasse.

Fé Imparável Muitos o repreendiam para que ficasse quieto, mas ele gritava ainda mais: “Filho de Davi, tem misericórdia de mim! ” Jesus parou e disse: “Chamem-no”. E chamaram o cego: “Ânimo!

Servo di Tutti Allora, postosi a sedere, Egli chiamò i dodici, e disse loro: “Se qualcuno vuol essere il primo, sia l’ultimo di tutti e il servo di tutti”.

Servo de Todos Assentando-se, Jesus chamou os Doze e disse: “Se alguém quiser ser o primeiro, será o último, e servo de todos”.

Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” (Mark 10:48-49) On His way from…
Can You Lose Your Salvation (Hebrews 10:26)?

How Can I Tell If God’s Answer To My Prayer Is “No” Or “Not Yet”? We may understand God’s answer to our prayer through circumstances. God communicates to the believer by His Spirit.

How Do You Get Baptized In The Holy Spirit? God is sovereign over the work of His Spirit, and it doesn’t always happen in the same way to every person. All we have to do is ask in faith. Our experience with the filling of the Spirit and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is…
