Hello, I am Oseas, I’m new here. I’m a Christian for decades, I live in the south of Brazil, near Argentina. English is not my native language, but I will try to do the best I can to be understood.

I did find this Christian site and would like to share with the brothers in Christ on my faith in the LORD JESUS Christ and my strong belief in the Word of God.

I am focused in Philippians 3:v.20-21(combined with Luke 20:v.35-36)

20 - For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

21 - Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

When I was born my parents were believers, I have been a believer since my mother's womb, my parents were true believers in Christ Jesus, both had wonderful gifts given by God to my father and mother, but all my dad's family were devout Catholics (this was before year 1.936) , but my father preached the Gospel of Jesus to all of them, and most of them converted to Jesus through my father's evangelistic work, and they built a temple, and were converted forever, they died in Christ, and now they await the resurrection determined for this current time, as well as the return of JESUS-1 Thessalonians 4:v.15-17. Hallelujah.

We the believers know that our Redeemer lives, as Job also said, still in great suffering for what the Devil had done to him, under my GOD's permission.

Job 19:v.21 to 27

21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of GOD hath touched me.

22 Why do ye persecute me as GOD, ...?

23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter Day upon the earth: ( This Day arrived - https://purebibleforum.com/index.ph...xactly-240-years-in-the-jewish-calendar.2354/ )

26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see GOD: - Hallelujah! -

27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

GOD BLESS HIS PEOPLE NOW AND FOREVER
Amen

My father was born on October 28, 1893, my mother on February 4, 1900, both were born in the city of Jacareí, in a region in the interior of the State of São Paulo. At that time the official religion of Brazil was Catholicism, in fact since its discovery in 1500 by the navigators of the King of Portugal, so the whole family of my parents, my grandparents, my ancestors, were traditionally Catholics.

In 1906 Missionary Anne Andrews arrived in São Paulo and then moved to the city of Jacareí where were born my parents, by the way, it was the first city to receive the Gospel through Missionary Anne Andrews and her husband Dr. Graham who, in October 1906, responded to the appeal made to believers in Toronto, Canada, to evangelize Brazil. At the time, there was no evangelical work in the city of Jacareí where my parents were born, and the Roman Catholic Church sovereignly dominated the people, fiercely opposing evangelicals. But the Missionary Anne Andrews began distributing literatures and gospels, visiting the sick and working as a midwife. She made herself known to some, sowing the seed of the Gospel into the minds and hearts of all she knew.
It was at this time that my parents came to know the Gospel of JESUS through Missionary Anne Andrews (both still single-my parents were married in 1928. I was born on December 19, 1936).

In 1911, there was a merger of the Regions Beyond Missionary Union, and the South American Evangelical Mission, and was born the South American Evangelization Union, and in 1913, the Help for Brazil Mission which had been founded by the widow of the first missionary with a project permanent in Brazil, Dr. Robert R. Kalley, joined the new Mission, which played a prominent role in evangelization, absorbing active workers and sending many others, such as: Archibald and Bonina Tipple, James and Daisy Fanstone, Josias and Rettie Wilding, Arthur W. Archibald and Mildred Anna, Oliver and Dorothy Thomson, W. S. Forsyth, Tom and Rénne Macintyre, Henry and Betty Bacon, John and Ann Barnett, among others.

All of them now await the resurrection and the reward for the work they have done for the enhancement of the kingdom of God. Isn't it wonderful?

Revelation 11:v.15 to 18

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be Judged, and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

Amen

What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people. Psalm 116:12-14

Psalm 1:1-6

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the Judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


Praise the Lord

John 20: 1-22

20 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:

Greetings in Christ JESUS, dear brothers,

Many years ago, (in my Bible that I kept from 1969), I studied Jonah chapter 1 and the Lord opened my eyes to perceive and understand what happens when one of His servant desobey His Word or His divine orders. What really happens? -> Well, the servant of the Lord begins to descend, and descend, descend even to the abyss, or even to the deepest hell, as happened with Jonah. Terrible, very terrible, however, afterwards the Lord, still being merciful to the disobedient servant, snatched him from the abyss, as we can see as follow:

Jonah 1:

1 Now the Word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.​

3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, AND WENT DOWN TO JOPPA; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, AND WENT DOWN INTO IT, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them.->(As we can see and understand, there was much prejudice to others because of Jonah's disobedience). But Jonah WAS GO DOWN into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.

6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy GOD, if so be that GOD will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
​
8 Then said they unto jonah:
- Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us;
- What is thine occupation?
- and whence comest thou?
- what is thy country?
- and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the GOD of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.​

10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.

11 Then said they unto Jonah, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12 And Jonah said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.->(The scenario above described is something we will see from now on:->Daniel 12:1-3)

14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 So they took up Jonah, AND CAST HIM FORTH INTO THE SEA: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.

17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah (Matthew 12:40). And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Jonah 2 -> (From hell Jonah cries out to the Lord).

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his GOD out of the fish's belly,​
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and He heard me; out of the belly of HELL cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas(the abyss, now the current world of the Devil); and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.​

4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 The waters compassed me about->(now, peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues, under dense/thick darkness) even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

6 I WENT DOWN to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my GOD.-> (John 17:14-19, take a look)
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.​

8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Revelation 4:1

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

May our Lord GOD bless us and keep us, and give us His protection

Amen
