About our difficulties
or on what we work ?

1) Whether we see, what to us occurs ?

What stirs to us?

a) our indifference (sins of perception)

Romans 12

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

b) Sins of action:
if we steal our life from the God.

Romans 14

7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

What is the theft ?

When we take

1. Secretly

Revelation 17

5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations."

2. Against will (violence)

1 Corinthians 13

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

2) What helps us to recover ?

What helps us to see ?

а) 1 John 1

5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

- When we open our hearts before the God and the friend before the friend !
(overcoming of secret)

б) Acts 4

32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had

everything in common.
33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold
35 and laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

- When we divide with each other our lives
(overcoming of larceny)

It already works in a life of disciples now, today!

в) Luke 4

17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
    He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
    and recovering of sight to the blind,
    to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19  to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor."

- When we try to realize our talents
and we enable another to realize their talents
(overcoming of violence)
 

г) 1 Corinthians 15

51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
"Death is swallowed up in victory."
55 "O death, where is your victory?
   O death, where is your sting?"
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

- When we believe that Jesus Christ has revived from dead
and that together with Him
we shall live,
passing through difficulties, griefs and pleasures,
dividing with Him and with other people our hearts, our lives, our talents !
(overcoming of indifference)

3) whether we hear what the God speaks us?

The God never will leave us!

2 Timothy 2

13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful —
   for he cannot deny himself.
