Leitura bíblica do dia: ECLESIASTES 1:1-11 Plano De Leitura Anual:  GÊNESIS 1–3; MATEUS 1  O primeiro romance de Ernest Hemingway apresenta amigos que bebem juntos após participarem da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Marcados pela devastação da guerra, eles tentam lidar com a dor por meio de festas, aventuras e boêmia. Sempre há álcool para entorpecer a dor. Ninguém é feliz. No livro O sol também se levanta (Bertrand Brasil, 2014), Hemingway refere-se ao livro de Eclesiastes (1:5). Nele, o rei Salomão chama-se de “o Mestre” (v.1) e observa: “Nada faz sentido” (v.2) e questiona: “O que as pessoas ganham com todo o seu árduo trabalho”? (v.3). Salomão viu como o Sol nasce e se põe, o vento sopra para lá e para cá, os rios correm sem parar para um mar jamais satisfeito (vv.5-7). E, por fim, tudo é esquecido (v.11). Tanto Hemingway quanto o livro de Eclesiastes confrontam--nos com a futilidade de viver apenas para esta vida. No entanto, o rei entrelaça brilhantes conselhos divinos em seu livro. No Senhor há esperança contínua e verdadeira, vemos como realmente somos e também como Deus é. Salomão afirmou: “tudo que Deus faz é definitivo” (3:14), e nisso reside nossa grande esperança, pois Deus nos concedeu a dádiva de Seu Filho, Jesus. Longe de Deus, estamos à deriva num mar infinito e sempre insatisfeito. Por meio de Jesus, o Seu Filho ressuscitado, reconciliamo-nos com Deus e descobrimos o nosso significado, valor e propósito. Por: TIM GUSTAFSON

leitura e meditação de Mateus 13:44-50, por Missionária Andréa Rodrigues

Amazon ‘Fiction': Part 1 The adventure begins. Based on a post by Farmer Jill, in 3 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. It all started with one woman's desire to prove that Amazons existed. Yes, that's right those legendary female warriors. Her name was Sylvia Riesling, the heiress to the Riesling billions. She was completely obsessed with the Amazons. Sylvia had commissioned a big international conference on the Amazons in Frankfurt Germany. I, Nelson James, was the keynote speaker. I am a professor of Anthropology at an Ivy League university. I was nothing special, just another academic in an obscure field toiling away to feed my wife and three sons. My area of interest was the Amazon River basin and the primitive people still living there. Sure, I had heard rumors of Amazon's, but never really was that interested until that blockbuster movie Amazon World came out. Sheer genius it was, a story of how the legendary women warriors got fed up with the patriarchal world and emerged from their self-seclusion to overthrow it. Plenty of women wanted to see it because it had a good plot, of course the defeat of all the male governments. (This was a movie so there were zero female world governments at the time to overthrow) and the lead actresses were all A-list. Men went with their wives and girlfriends because of all the Amazon warriors in their skimpy battledress were former Playboy bunnies or cheerleaders. Another attraction for many was the first-rate special effects. Let's face it action movies with babes sell. I heard about the movie when it started production and knew what I had to do. I was in the running for a full professorship, and this could be my way in. I knew my obscure area of study would have a brief time in the limelight and I had to take full advantage. Immediately I researched an academic paper on the Amazons. It would be published in the usual dull Anthropology Journal. That would provide me with the material to write an article in regular English for the New York Times and any other media outlet that wanted to pick it up. This would get me promoted. One theologian of the nineteenth century proffered a hypothetical from the biblical text of Genesis. He cited a Garden of Eden, but separated from the ‘civilized world' by a global flood. A flood caused by a traumatic shift of the polar rotation, causing seasons, a depletion of hydro shielding of the atmosphere, and a resulting penetration increase in ultraviolet radiation. The major plates of the earth radically broke apart, causing a large ocean between the South American and African plates. The theologian believes it plausible that the Garden of Eden is the Amazon and Ecuadorian South Pacific region. He cites the Galapagos irregularities and species of Tortoises that have perhaps 3 times the lifespan of humans. Could all life forms excel greater, and live longer; in the ‘garden region'? Then the theologian sites the Nephilim giants, offspring of when spirit beings mating with human women. The text of Genesis 6: 4; 4 The Nephilim giants were on the earth in those days, and also afterward; when the spirit beings went to the human women. They seduced the women and had children by them. The offspring became powerful. They were the heroes of old, men of renown human folklore. The biblical references are several, but European civilizations have not seen evidence in many centuries, thus the idea has been discredited as superstition.  The theologian speculates that these mythical Amazons are perhaps superior in body and mind, and irreverent to the creator's order. The original Spirit beings designed to set up a civilization where women perverted the creator's order, and made human males into slaves of women. Whereas in other civilizations the offspring men conquered and terrified the world, in the Amazon regions, their superior intellect and science was used to alter genetics in favor of the females. The offspring females were genetically capable of longer life, superior intellect, and godlike in physical attributes. Male offspring, however; were genetically cursed to the limitations of all other humankind. Academia condemned the theologian's speculations, and it was not allowed to be taught at any credible university. Only bible colleges even entertained it as plausible.  For my academic career's sake, I went with the consensus theories of the leading universities and published a secular research. I called it Amazons: Fact or Fiction. The Times was interested, and I retained the syndication rights after they had the first exclusive release. In order to write the paper though, I had to get access to the journal of Francois Canard. He was the famous 19th century explorer whose journal documented his discovery of the Amazons. Unfortunately, no one believed Francois at the time, and they declared him mad and institutionalized him. He was known to the Amazon crowd as Bizarre Canard. His family detested that name, and what happened to him. They were always trying to rehabilitate his name and this movie, Amazon World, would bring his name to the forefront. I contacted the family and flew to France to meet with the heir, Jean Paul Canard. I promised to set the record straight on Francois. They would have right to reject anything I wrote before publication, and I would give them a portion of any profits I made, to pay legal fees to have the official record changed. ln exchange, I would have full access to his journal and any other records the family held. For some reason, Jean Paul felt I was trustworthy and agreed to my offer. The movie came out and broke records on its first weekend. My article came out on the Saturday of that weekend and on Monday was reprinted and reposted all around the world. The university loved the publicity, and I was given the full professorship. Moreover, the syndication money was greatly appreciated by my wife Connie. She was great at making our money stretch, but it always was tight. This is where Sylvia came in. With all the hype about the Amazons, she held her conference. Since I was acknowledged as a "world renowned Amazon "expert" I was selected keynote speaker. No expense was spared. Sylvia even paid for Connie and the boys to accompany me. We made a holiday of it and Sylvia had one of her staff tour guide us around Germany for a week. It wasn't all altruistic though. She wanted me to go to the Amazon River basin on an expedition she was funding. Again, no expense would be spared, in the quest to prove the existence of the Amazons. However, there was a problem with me going on the expedition. I had promised Connie no more trips to the Amazon until the boys were through their teen years. Connie had not complained about my previous trips when they were younger; when I was building my career but now she now she wanted my help at home. I had the professorship, so I was pretty secure, and I liked staying home. I loved Connie and being a father. Sylvia was tenacious however, at our first meal together before the conference she had mentioned the expedition and my role in it. I had explained that I had made a promise to Connie but would be glad to help with the preparations. Connie was very happy with my response and showed me her appreciation that night. Sylvia however was relentless, and by the end of our trip in Germany Connie had not only released me from my promise but was encouraging me to go! That conversation would replay over and over again in my mind, over the next year. I suspect it haunted Connie as well. Connie had it all figured out, "Nelson I know you made a promise to me, and you keep your promises. You are a great husband and father; I love being married to you. You are a great provider, working hard to give us what we need, and more. Sylvia has offered you an amazing sum to go on this expedition, This is your reward for all your years of hard work. If it is successful you will receive an even larger bonus. This would make us set for life. Sylvia thinks you will be gone a month, maybe two at the outside. I will be fine for that long; both of our parents will help. I really think you should go." I would have stuck to my promise but also I did want to go, it would cement my reputation and place at the university. The money was a stupid amount, one million dollars. I did also want to stay with my family. I could stay home and still milk my expert status at the same time. Yet Connie was pushing me to go so I agreed. Sylvia had no time to waste, a group was assembled and outfitted in a month. The leader of the expedition would be Lori Becker a self-made millionaire. She came from the wrong side of the tracks and had never failed at anything she had tried. Of course, our leader had to be a woman so she could speak on equal terms with the Amazons we hopefully would meet. Francois had mentioned this in his journal. His expedition included some women, and he made one of them the "leader," since the Amazons would not speak to him. Then there was the two security women, Alesha Murray, and Estelle Rodrigues. They were former special forces and from what I could see, the two women were the real deal. There were plenty of primitive locals, robber barons, and other assorted bad guys in the Amazon River basin so we needed protection. Again, women warriors made sense for the obvious reasons. Then there was Paulo and Mateus and their river boat. They would provide the grunt labor for the group as well as run the boat. They both were very handy and knew parts of the river. They also knew many of the main characters, among the legitimate and illegitimate goings on in this part of the basin. Finally, there was me, the expert advisor, and hopefully with the help of Bizarre Canard's journal the navigator. From my previous experience, this was a good size group for an Amazon river exploration. Small enough to be effective, but not too big to be unwieldy and attract too much unwanted attention from anyone. The three women and I would fly into Iquitos and meet up with Mateus and Paulo. We then would head down the river toward Ecuador, as outlined by Canard in his journal. The first few days were uneventful but soon enough we had left the vestiges of civilization behind. We kept a sharp eye out for the indigenous peoples, and others who didn't like outsiders on their turf. It was a beautiful part of creation, with so many vibrant colors and exotic plants and animals. We continued down the river and had the feeling that we were being watched. This increased with every mile. Estelle was convinced attack was imminent. Alesha not so much, the attack was coming but not yet. We were almost into the mountains, and she was sure it would occur then. There was no doubt in anyone's mind however, that we were being watched and that the watchers had changed. Originally it had been the indigenous who were watching us. They were great at camouflage and concealment, but the high-tech gadgets of Estelle and Alesha could pick out their heat signatures among other things. Now someone else was watching us. The high-tech equipment couldn't pick them up and neither could the naked eye. These people were masters of the hunt. Yet Alesha and Estelle were convinced we were still being watched. When we entered the mountains the river increased in speed but decreased in depth and width. We knew that we would soon have to leave the boat and move forward on foot. Then we saw the arch mentioned in Bizarre Cunard's journal. Everyone was excited that we seemed to be on the right path. Soon after that we stopped for the night at what we thought was a secure location. It was a sand bar with the river on one side and sheer mountain walls on the other side. While we set up camp, Estelle was on guard duty, and she was sharp noticing the stranger first. The person was dressed in a wet suit complete with a mask and carried what looked like a bow in their hand. The person had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, but must have come out of the river. Estelle ordered the person to stop moving and identify themselves. It was at this moment I knew that the expedition had succeeded, but would we live to tell the tale? The stranger spoke, "It is you who should not move; any movement will be met with deadly force. You shall identify yourselves and your purpose here immediately." I could not place the voice. It clearly was translated by a machine. I couldn't see the face of the person who had spoken, but I was sure that the translation did not convey the menace of the threat implied. Estelle started to raise her gun, but an arrow flashed out of nowhere and Estelle went down. After a moment to process what just happened, Lori Becker spoke for us, "We have come in peace; we are on an expedition to find the legendary Amazon warriors." Captives The person in the wet suit did not reply immediately. The silence was painful, Estelle was bleeding out from the arrow in her chest. It looked like it had pierced her heart, and she wasn't moving. I think all of us were holding our breaths waiting for a reply. Then we were stunned when it came. "You have found what you are looking for. Now listen very closely, any deviation from these instructions will result in your death." I hoped everyone else took that to heart, after Estelle I certainly did. As she spoke, a door opened up in the sheer mountain. She continued, "Very slowly you will strip naked, then you will enter the mountain, taking nothing with you." Soon enough the five of us were naked and travelling on foot through a mountain tunnel. I never looked back to see if we were being followed by the person in the wet suit. I did hear the door close. I could see light ahead of us and we all just walked toward the light. Once we reached it we could see a valley before us. There also was a woman warrior standing in front of us. She had on a breast plate of some kind of metal, forearm guards and a skirt that also looked like armor. There were sandals on her feet. There was some kind of sword on her hip. She did not look very welcoming. "Stop, look down and you will see some amulets. Put them on, they will allow us to communicate." We picked them up and put them around our necks, Lori was quick to try her's out. "I am Lori Becker, leader of this expedition." Lori's speech was cut off at the knees, "Silence, you are nothing until we decide what you are! Anyone who speaks again without being asked, will die. Follow me." The woman was not wearing an amulet but had raised her left arm to speak into her arm guard. We would learn later that these vambraces were a highly sophisticated smart phone, supercomputer, and weapons system, all in one. She then turned and started walking. Now we had lesson number two, and while processing that we followed her. Loud and clear, do what they say without question and remain silent. After an hour of walking, we entered farmland. There were men working in the fields. The men had on loincloths and sandals, nothing else. No one looked at us and our guide did not speak to anyone. Then we approached a village with a wall around it. There was a guard at an opening in the wall. She was dressed identically to our guide. They nodded a greeting to one another, and we moved into the village. She led us to a nondescript building that look like it was made of some kind of spray concrete. There was what looked like a toilet and sink in one corner. The floor was some kind of flexible material. There were two windows in addition to the opening. There was nothing else in the room. I estimated that it measured about 20 by 30. She stopped in the center of the room and looked us over. "You will remain here until you are summoned." Then she left. As she went through the opening a door materialized. We all looked at one another. Mateus was the first to speak. "I guess we found your Amazons, Nelson. Not a very friendly bunch." Paulo snorted at that and went to use the toilet. Alesha slowly circled the room seemingly taking in every detail. She looked out the windows but touched nothing. Lori put on a brave face and addressed us, "I'm not sure what we are facing here, however they seem to be a people of violence and few words. We just have to hang on and see what happens, eventually they will have to let us speak to them and explain ourselves." I wasn't so sure about that, but I had nothing to add so after also using the toilet I just lay down on the floor to rest. The others did the same and were soon lost in our own thoughts about the predicament we were in. We were surprised when the opening appeared, and two men came in carrying trays of food. They put them down inside the opening and left. No one dared speak to them and they said nary a word. The food was good and once we had eaten, and the sun had gone down outside. I did my Tia Chi forms. This was something I did every day. My parents had met through Tia Chi and all of us kids had grown up doing it. It certainly helped me stay calm and focused. As well it kept me in shape and flexible. Then I went to sleep. Paulo and Mateus sat together speaking in Portuguese before they also went to sleep. Alesha did some stretches and then also went to sleep. Lori just sat there looking forlorn. She had always been in control and now she was lost for what to do. I hoped she would get some rest. I awoke as the sun came through the windows. Alesha, Mateus, and Paulo were already awake. Lori looked like she hadn't moved an inch or slept a wink since last night. We didn't have to wait long for our warrior from the previous day to arrive. She strode into the room, "Follow me." Definitely a people of few words. We followed her to another building made of the same materials. Once inside it was obvious it was a medical building. We were led to a room with two large men and one woman in a lab coat. The men had on the same type of loincloths as the men we saw working in the fields yesterday. The two men advanced on Mateus and grabbed his right arm. The woman then took a blood sample. I immediately just raised my right arm as the men grabbed Paulo. Alesha and Lori did the same as me and the men didn't touch us as our samples were collected. The woman then took the five samples and left. The men also left. We were afraid to move but we didn't have long to wait, and our "doctor" reappeared with the men. The men were pushing a bed that looked like an operating table. They picked up Paulo and strapped him to the table. The doctor sprayed something on his groin. She then used a scapple to cut open his scrotum and remove his testicles. Paulo screamed through the entire process. I suspected that the spray was for healing and to avoid infection. These women seemed to enjoy inflicting pain. Once Paulo was a eunuch she sprayed the incision with something else. The wound never bled and appeared closed, healed even. Paulo was then released from the table. He collapsed to the floor, covered in sweat. Mateus and I also were sweating. Who was next? I didn't see any way to escape this and neither did he, we were stuck awaiting our fate. Mateus was next. It went exactly the same except Mateus tried not to cry out. That didn't make the operation any less brutal and Mateus passed out from the pain. Then it was my turn, and I was forced onto the table. The doctor did something different this time. She sprayed where my incision was for my vasectomy. After our third boy was born Connie and I decided we were done having kids and I had the snip. Well, the doctor proceeded to reverse that operation. I didn't know for sure but that's what it seemed like to me. It hurt like hell, and I also tried not to cry out. After she had finished the operation she sprayed the area she worked on. Then she produced a needle and injected it into my leg. That hurt like hell too. Then she was done, and I was removed from the table. Our guide then took us back to our prison. When we arrived, there was another meal awaiting us. Once we had finished eating, two men appeared to take away the dishes and they gave me what was obviously a sample jar. It was bigger than the one I had been given after my vasectomy. It was pretty obvious they wanted a sample. We had been naked around one another for a day now, and their was no privacy in the room. We were not allowed to speak so the four of them wordlessly turned their backs on me so I could produce the sample. I wondered if I could get it up but as soon as I touched my penis it became hard. It seemed harder then it ever had been, I figured it was just because I hadn't had sex for the last 2 weeks. When I ejaculated into the jar I filled it up. Wow, I never had cum so much in my life. I found out much later the injection I was given was a fast-acting, long-lasting sexual stimulant. It meant I would get hard fast the first and subsequent times as required. I also would produce much more sperm than normal. It even contained fertility drugs to facilitate impregnation. These Amazons sure had some advanced medical technology! The men left and within what seemed like an hour our guide was back. She ordered us to follow her. We ended up in the middle of the village. I immediately recognized the set up. It was prepared for a slave auction. There was a raised platform in the center of the open space with a woman warrior standing on it. There were many other women dressed identically, arriving from the rest of the village. Soon the five of us were all beside the platform waiting as the last of the women warriors arrived. I figured that all the Amazons, a few hundred in the village, were now present. Mateus was prodded onto the platform and the Amazon already on it spoke, "Fresh from the outside, we have a laborer. It is gifted with old mechanical technology knowledge and a strong body. Unsuitable for breeding but useful for service." I guess my blood sample showed I was suitable as a breeder and Mateus and Paulo's were not. I learned late that they like men who had had vasectomy's. As long as there were no hereditary issues the men who'd been snipped made good proven breeders and with their advanced technology it was easy to reverse the operation. Then the bidding began. Soon enough Mateus was bought by one of the Amazon's in the square. The auctioneer then pointed her right arm at Mateus and a laser came out of the vambrace to brand him on the right butt cheek. Mateus was given to his new owner, and Paulo was moved onto the platform. "Also fresh from the outside, another similar type for service. This one is younger but otherwise the same." Paulo was sold, branded, and given to his new owner. Clearly these Amazons were into object lessons. The auctioneer then left the platform, and two men placed a throne on it. What I could only image was the leader of the Amazon's then sat on the throne. She was dressed the same as the others except while the other's armor was silver her's was gold. The two men then used hoes to make a circle in front of the platform. Once they were done the leader addressed Alesha and Lori. "I am queen Zenoba and now we shall see if you two things are warrior women or not." Lori was then prodded into the circle. From the other side of the circle came one of the Amazons. She had removed her breastplate and was now bare chested. Seeing her proud firm breasts had me immediately hard. It was pretty clear to me that Lori was expected to fight this woman to see if she was suitable Amazon material. I wasn't sure how this would go. Lori was a strong confident woman, but I was unsure about her fitness level or of her fighting skills. The woman advance on Lori and threw a fake punch, followed by a leg sweep. Lori went down hard. I heard some of the other Amazon's in the crowd say "one." Lori got up slowly and I think it had now dawned on her that she was in the fight of her life or more aptly the fight for her life. Lori tried to assume a fighting stance. The Amazon advanced on her again going in for a grapple. I wanted to shout out for her not to engage, but we were told to be silent. Lori engaged in the grapple. They locked hands and the Amazon soon had Lori on her knees grimacing in pain and then kicked her square in the chest, knocking her back. I heard the "twos" from the crowd and silently prayed Lori would do better. The Amazon advance again, Lori tried to rush her, and the Amazon side stepped and grabbed Lori's arm. Lori cried out as the Amazon applied pressure. As more pressure was applied Lori started to beg for mercy. The queen then spoke, "Enough." The Amazon immediately let go of Lori's arm and Lori collapsed to the ground. Her shoulder was probably dislocated, and Lori was moaning in pain. A knife was then handed to the Amazon fighter who grabbed Lori by the hair, pulled her head back exposing her neck and slit her throat. More lessons for us. Fight hard to win and don't show pain. The two men dragged the body out of the circle. It now was Alesha's turn. A new Amazon entered the circle also bare chested. Alesha let the Amazon get close and when she tried a feint with a fake punch Alesha stepped into it. She caught the Amazon's fist with her left arm and then brought up her right knee slamming it into the Amazon's thigh. Alesha followed up with a brutal kidney punch. Alesha then let go of the arm and the Amazon went down on one knee. Her eyes narrowed and her face flushed. Alesha had embarrassed her, and hate emanated off of the Amazon. Alesha stepped back and said "one." This caused the crowd to murmur and the Amazon to charge forward at Alesha. Alesha turned to present a smaller target, but the Amazon jumped at her. Alesha was not expecting that move and the Amazon had amazing agility. She flew into Alesha's chest knocking her back. Alesha knew she was going down on her back and reached out for the Amazon's hair. As they hit the ground Alesha pulled the Amazon's hair as hard as she could. She followed up with a punch to the throat as the Amazon pulled her head back. Alesha then rolled away and stood up. Her chest and back was hurting from the landing but the Amazon was in worse shape. Rubbing her throat the Amazon was now so enraged when Alesha said "two" she launched herself again at Alesha. They grappled briefly but Alesha's special forces training was superior to the Amazon's skills and Alesha now had the Amazon in an arm bar. Alesha did not hold back and felt the arm dislocate before looking at the queen. Alesha then applied more pressure to the point of almost breaking the Amazon's arm. "Enough." Alesha let go of the Amazon as the queen spoke. The Amazon had never cried out or even moaned and never fell to the ground either. She stood up and faced her Queen lowering herself to a kneeling position. I thought for sure she was getting her throat slit. However, I was wrong, as I would learn these Amazons respected effort and the ability to tolerate pain. The Queen left her in that position for what seemed an eternity. The defeated Amazon was clearly in pain and discomfort but tried her best not to show it. "Rise Reyana, you fought a warrior and lost. Yet you never gave up or showed weakness. The warrior you fought is clearly a skilled fighter, and now our sister. Learn from her and your loss." Then the queen looked at Alesha who had assumed the same position as the woman she had defeated. "What is your name noble warrior?" "My name is Alesha; how may I be of service?" Although you had to be quick to see it a ghost of a smile appeared on the Queen's face. Clearly Alesha had impressed her. The Queen regarded Alesha as if seeing her for the first time. "Alesha, you have earned the right to be one of us, the Amazons of Fire Valley, do you pledged undying allegiance to your Queen?" Alesha was no dummy. She was quickly figuring out how to survive here. "Yes my Queen, I pledge my undying allegiance to the Queen of the Amazon's of Fire Valley." Then rise my new warrior, go with Reyana, and learn our ways. Then the Queen got up and left the platform. The crowd dispersed, leaving me and my original guide. She gave me a searing look. I was getting the hang of these people too and I did not flinch. I just looked back at her with the blandest look I could muster. After a minute or two she smirked at me, "I'm sure you can find your own way back to your accommodations." I'm sure this was another test, and I wanted to live so I walked the most direct route back to my prison. No one paid any attention to me. As I stared straight ahead I tried to also take in what was happening around the village. Basically, I saw a few men working at various tasks. I also saw a few Amazons, but they were doing nothing of significance. Everything was clean and tidy. When I entered my prison I noticed in the middle of the room was now an operating room table just like back in the medical building. It was complete with plenty of restraints. I could by now begin to guess what it was for. Yet there was no sense in worrying about it and instead I went through my Tai Chi forms. Lunch was brought to me by two large men and once I was done eating they pointed at the table. I climbed onto it laying on my back. They secured me in what I learned was called the Amazon position. I had my knees bent and pulled into my chest. One of them then jabbed me with a needle, another injection. My thoughts went to Connie and the boys. In particular I reflected on Connie and my conversation about joining this expedition. I wonder if Connie would still want me to go if she had of known I would become a sperm donor to a bunch of Amazons. Clearly, they were going to breed themselves on this table. The two men left and one of the Amazons entered my prison. She deftly stripped off her armor and clothing. She looked amazing, if you like athletic women. Firm perky tits and long-toned legs. Her vulva had a trim patch of hair on it that did nothing to hide the fact she was aroused. My arousal was also evident as my cock was hard as granite and she wasted little time impaling herself on it. She then used me for her satisfaction. She must have cum twice before I unloaded into her womb. She then go off and dressed. A few minutes after she left another Amazon entered the room. The exact same thing happened. For the next month or so I would be used by about 100 of these Amazon women. I'm pretty sure it was about one third of the total who lived in the village that took their turn. Obviously, they couldn't all get pregnant, some had to be able to defend the tribe. Neither Alesha nor the Queen came and used me. The routine was the same every day. The two men would arrive with breakfast, when I was done they then secured me to the table and gave me the injection. Amazons would come and go riding me until I came into their wombs. Some were pretty rough about it; none were even remotely loving. I learned later that they came as they entered their fertile times. With the fertility drugs and increased amount of sperm, the odds of pregnancy increased dramatically. If what I learned later was true I impregnated between two thirds and three forths of the Amazons who used me. I wonder what my sons would think of the fact that they would soon have 60 to 75 siblings, mostly girls. Apparently, they had mostly figured how to effect the gender outcome too, but it didn't always work. I knew the day's breeding was over when the men would reappear and release me from the table. They would also bring me another meal. The rest of the time was my own, but I couldn't leave the prison. The door appeared and disappeared for the male servants and the Amazons but not me. I would do my Tai Chi forms and sleep. Then came the day when I was taken out of my prison and brought back to the central square. The Queen was sitting on her throne on the platform, all of the other Amazons were standing around another circle before her. I was placed in the circle. One of the Amazons entered the circle from the other side. She was bare chested but otherwise dressed just like the warriors Alesha and Lori had fought. I was still naked. I had not worn any clothes since the day I was captured. It was pretty clear that I was going to have to fight for my continued existence. I had served my purpose, and I figured this was a test, for what I didn't really know. I was certain however I needed to win to avoid dying. I also knew I was at a serious disadvantage, not only were my balls exposed and vulnerable, but I had received my injection that day and my cock was hard. The Amazon warrior before me I definitely remembered from when she used me. She had been rough, biting, and scratching me. After I had cum in her she had spit in my face. This was not going to be easy. I remembered Alesha's words to me back while we were still free. "Tai Chi is nice, but it has become a sport with rules and traditions. Fights are real but they are not do or die. If you ever get in a fight in this jungle, no rules, no etiquette, fight to win. Do whatever it takes to win. And most of all, all this goes double if you are up against a woman." The Amazon warrior began to advance on me, and I adopted the ready position. She had a look of arrogance about her, I wondered if she ever lost? She advanced on me, and we traded blows. The Tai Chi helped me put up a great defense. I was mostly on the defensive and tried to see if I could get an opening at some point. I also had to protect my vulnerabilities. After a few minutes of sparing, she slightly lost her footing and that was all I needed. I swept her legs out from under her, and she completely lost her balance, but she didn't land hard. She was fit and flexible and recovered in a crouch. I moved back hoping to hear the word "one." It was music to my ears when I heard it from the crowd. Obviously, my opponent was infuriated and charged at me, we traded blows again and it was all I could do to keep her blocked. I made a mistake, and she moved in at that point to grab my balls but luckily I was sweating so hard she couldn't quite get a grip. It gave me an opening to knee her in the crotch. I hit her as hard as possible, and it stunned her. I followed up with a couple of jabs to her breasts. This caused her to lower her defenses for just a moment at this and I punched her hard in the head. She staggered back and I took two formal steps back praying to hear a "two." I almost smiled when I heard it from the crowd. I also heard the murmurs of the crowd; it encouraged me as much as it further enraged my opponent. She pressed in for the attack and she was relentless. I decided to stop trading blows and get mobile moving away from her. Around the circle, we went, her looking for an opening and me trying to survive. Then I made a mistake, I moved too close to the edge of the circle. One of the Amazons in the crowd gave me a shove towards my opponent. She bared her teeth in delight and moved to crush me. I did the only thing I could think of, I used my momentum to drop and roll. The Amazon dodged out of the way and then leapt to pin me on the ground. As I rolled I grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it into her face, hoping to hit her eyes. It worked, and while she was distracted I was able to jump back to my feet. She recovered with almost unbelievable speed and moved in to grab me. I used the opportunity to ram my forehead into her nose. Blood sprayed everywhere as her nose shattered. Yet there was no time to lose, I took her to the ground in a full nelson and pressed my knee into her back. It was an uncomfortable position for me, but it was brutal for her. She tried to get out of it, but I increased the pressure, I fully intended to keep going until I incapacitated her or killed her but then the Queen stopped the match. "Enough." I immediately let go and moved away from the Amazon who struggled to her feet. She then moved in front of the platform and knelt before the queen. I moved into the same position behind and to the right of the Amazon. I guessed that it was the right thing to do but wasn't sure. The Queen made us wait and sweat just like after Alesha's fight. "Deianira, you lost to a man, you have failed your name (Deianira means man destroyer) and your Queen. You are no longer one of us." The Amazon called Deianira was then pulled to her feet by two of the Amazons. Her clothing was stripped from her, and she was led away. I would learn later that she was then banished from the tribe. Expelled from the valley naked and vulnerable likely to die. That left me wondering what was going to happen to me. The Queen let me wait some more before ordering that I be taken to her room. I guess I earned the right to breed the Queen, but it was not quite that easy. Lucky for me the two male slaves that took me to her quarters risked the rath of the Amazons to warn me. In a whisper the one on the left said, "Thank you for beating Deianira, she was evil to us all. To survive mating with the Queen you must fight." Great, out of the frying pan and into the fire! The Queen's bed chamber of all things had a bed in it. Crazy that. After sleeping on the floor for a month a bed would be nice, but something told me that if I survived there would be no sleeping in this bed. There would be no snuggles and a second round in the morning either. I almost laughed out loud at my predicament. Then I remembered my conversation back in Germany with Connie. I wondered if this was the reward that Connie was thinking about when she encouraged me to leave? All thoughts left my mind as the Queen entered the room. She was naked and clearly in amazing shape. Below her proud firm breasts was a six pack any body builder would envy. She had toned thighs and walked with the grace of a panther. The slaves said I had to fight; this woman was going to tear me in half! I wondered if it was like honeybees, the Queen mates with you and then kills you. Oh well I thought at least I will try to give a good showing. The Queen advanced on me, and I assumed the ready position. Again, I was at a disadvantage. My cock was rock hard and my balls were unprotected. I decided to gamble on a move she probably wasn't expecting. It looked like she wanted to grapple so I stepped in, put my arms around her and pulled her face toward mine. She might not have been expecting it, but she reacted like lightning. Instantly her two arms shot up and broke my hold on her head, her knee came up to hit me in the balls. I was anticipating this and twisted my waist to take the blow on my thigh while darting my face forward to give her a kiss. She was clearly surprised by my move and allowed the kiss but at the same time wrapped her arms around me and flung me onto the bed. I rolled to my knees as she dove after me. We grappled and soon she had me pinned to the bed. I could not believe how strong she was. Without releasing my hands that were held by her own she maneuvered herself onto my cock and began to ride me. I did not resist and waited for my chance. As her first orgasm hit her I quickly broke her grip on me and rolled her onto her back. I grabbed her throat with both hands and began pounding into her as my cock had not slipped out during my roll. She hit the side of my head with a right and then the other side with a left. It hurt like hell, and I feared a concussion, but I held on tighter. She then pushed her two hands between my arms and literally ripped them from her throat. I once again could not believe her strength. She then rolled me back over onto my back and grabbed my nipples as she impaled herself on me. The pain was intense, but I quickly reached in and grabbed her nipples. I literally tried to rip them off her tits as I could feel the blood start to flow from her nails digging into the flesh on my chest. As all of this was happening she continued to slam herself down on my cock. It was a battle of wills and as I also drew blood from one breast I could feel my climax building. The Queen increased the amount of force she was using, and it felt like I was going to black out from the pain. I fought the darkness and reached deep down for my own renewed strength and her other nipple started to bleed. At this point we were sweating and grunting. Then she had an orgasm with the force of a tsunami! The Queen's vagina clamped down on my cock as she came and this in turn cause me to erupt. I never knew I was into pain but the orgasm that hit me took my breath away. It seemed to have the same effect on her. We both relaxed our grips on each other's nipples as we rode out the orgasmic ecstasy. I seized the opportunity to pull her down for another kiss. I bit her lip and then snaked my tongue into her mouth. She sent her tongue to meet mine and wrestle it into submission. I used the kiss as a distraction to once again roll her over, so I was on top. My cock was still hard as diamonds, so I slammed it back into her. I had never felt a vagina like hers and the sensations were incredible. However, I was so wrapped up in the moment that I started to lose focus on the fight. She seized the opportunity to then roll me back onto my back and pinned me into the Amazon position. She then rode me hard through two more of her own climaxes before I came again filling her womb. At this point I was exhausted but I knew it wasn't over, so I rolled out from under her and got off the bed. I then went down on one knee and bowed my head. I didn't know what to expect next but what I didn't expect at all was that the Queen would laugh. "Go back to your accommodation worthless man I am done with you." I had survived. I didn't know why she laughed until much later when one of the Amazons explained it to me. Only women were required to assume the position of submission before the Queen. By definition men were only servants so submission was assumed. She had laughed at my attempt to be a woman. I made it back to my prison and found a meal waiting. I ate and then did my forms. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen next. I had finished my meal and was reflecting on two things. Firstly, the immense pain in my chest from Queen Zenoba abusing my nipples. I hoped she was feeling the same discomfort, but I imagine she had some magic spray available to her. It was probably already all healed. Secondly, I was wondering what they were going to do with me. I had been forced to breed about a third of the woman warriors and the Queen. Was I going to be made a eunuch and sold to one of the women, or something else? No sense worrying about it. To take my mind off of the pain I did my Tai Chi forms. My previous instructors might not have been happy with my performance in my fight with Deianeira, but I didn't care. I had won and I thanked my parents for getting me into Tai Chi. Certainly the flexibility and balance had served me well. Obviously, my style had been more Tai Chi/brawler but thanks to Alesha's advice it had won me victory. That was the important part and there was no way I was going to forget it. This made me think about Alesha and the fact I had not seen her since she had won her fight and become an Amazon warrior herself. Then my prison door opened, and a man entered, I assumed to take away the supper dishes. He was there for that, but he also had a can of spray magic and aimed it at my bloody nipples and sore chest. By the time he had gathered up the dishes and left the wounds were healed and the pain was gone. Amazing stuff! The sun had gone down, and I was tired out from the day's exertions, so I lay down and went to sleep. I was awakened early by a man with my breakfast. When I was done one of the Amazons I had not met yet entered my prison. She ordered me to follow her. She led me to the opening in the wall around the village. At the opening we met another Amazon who had what looked like a lap top bag with her. She fell in behind me and the three of us walked down the trail that I figured was to the west. At first we passed farms but soon we left them and the village behind. We walked all day through the rainforest and then we stopped for the night. I was given some travel food. It looked like the rations you get in the army. Yet it was the perfect temperature and tasted delicious. No one had said anything all day. It was no different after our meal. One of the Amazons was clearly on sentry duty and the other one lay down to rest. I followed suit and soon was asleep. It was a quite night and in the morning was shaken awake by one of the Amazons. After another meal and my injection, we were back on the trail. Judging from the sun it was about noon when we apparently reached our destination. It was a large open field carved out of the rainforest. It seemed about the same size as a football field. We were on one of the long ends and there was a post in the ground that they tied me too. I was tied only around my waist with my hands and feet free. Diagonally across from me on the other side was a similar post. Minutes after I was secured, 3 people emerged from the forest on the other side. 2 were clearly Amazons, the only difference in attire from the Amazons with me was a blazing sun on their breastplates. The other person was a man, naked like me and soon tied to the post. One of the Amazons then walked 10 paces from the post to the right and stopped. The other one started walking to toward me. My two Amazon's did the same thing. One walked 10 paces from the post to the left and stopped. The other walked toward the naked man. The Amazons walking toward the tied men had the small bags with them. Once the Amazon with the blazing sun arrived in front of me she produced a needle from the bag and took a blood sample. She then opened the bag up revealing some kind of machine. The blood sample needle was inserted into the side, and she injected the blood into the machine. I could not see any screen or light to show a result, but after a moment she stood up and handed me a sample jar. It was all becoming clear to me what was going on. If I passed the medical tests I was to be traded for the other guy undergoing the same tests. This was a simple swapping of bulls or studs. The injection served it's purpose because I became instantly hard when I touched my cock. I then filled the container. The Amazon took the container and poured the contents into another opening in the machine. After a moment she drew a knife from her belt and turned to face the other side of the field. The Amazon on the other side of the field finished what I assumed was the same process with the other man. She also drew a knife and faced us. At this point, both of the Amazons turned and cut the bindings of the man on the pole in front of them. I didn't need to be told what to do I just followed the blazing sun Amazon back across the field. We met at almost exactly the halfway point of the field, but no greetings were shared. This was obviously a highly ritualized process that I had not read about in Canard's journal. In Canard's journal there had been only one group or tribe of Amazons occupying four valleys. Something definitely had changed. I suspected the four valleys now were occupied by competing factions. This didn't mean Canard was wrong, Canard had been here over 150 years before, it just meant things had changed. So far Canard had been accurate about the arch by the river, as well as the dress of the Amazons we had met. Canard also had reported on the sophistication of the Amazon's technology and that clearly was still true. To be continued in part 2. Based on a post by Farmer Jill, in 3 parts, for Literotica.

Orando a palavra, todos os dias uma oração guiada da nossa leitura da biblia, que chamamos de porção diária.hoje o OAP e sobre Mateus 1.

"E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhe: Bem-aventurado és tu, Simão Barjonas, porque to não revelou a carne e o sangue, mas Meu Pai, que está nos Céus. E também Eu te digo que tu és Pedro, e sobre Esta Pedra edificarei a Minha Igreja, e as portas do inferno não prevalecerão contra ela…" Mateus 16:17-18"Mas, se ainda o nosso Evangelho está encoberto, para os que se perdem está encoberto.Nos quais o deus deste século cegou os entendimentos dos incrédulos, para que lhes não resplandeça a Luz do Evangelho da Glória de Cristo, que é a Imagem de Deus." II Coríntios 4:3-4

Confira:  Na véspera do Ano-Novo, as autoridades municipais abriram uma cápsula do tempo de 100 anos. Dentro dela estavam previsões esperançosas dos líderes da cidade com as suas visões de prosperidade. Entretanto, a mensagem do prefeito trazia uma ideia diferente: “Que possamos expressar uma esperança que seja superior a de outros, que vocês possam perceber como nação, povo e cidade, que vocês cresceram em retidão, pois é isso que exalta uma nação”. Mais do que o sucesso, a felicidade ou paz, o prefeito desejou que os futuros cidadãos crescessem naquilo que significa ser verdadeiramente justo e correto. Talvez ele tenha se inspirado em Jesus, que abençoou os que anseiam por Sua justiça (MATEUS 5:6). Mas é fácil nos desencorajarmos quando consideramos o padrão perfeito de Deus. Louvado seja Deus por não precisarmos confiar em nosso próprio esforço para crescer. O autor de Hebreus disse: “que o Deus da paz […] os capacite em tudo que precisam para fazer a vontade dele. Que ele produza em vocês, […] tudo o que e agradável a ele” (13:20-21). Nós que estamos em Cristo somos santificados pelo Seu sangue no momento em que cremos nele (v.12), porém, Ele faz crescer o fruto da justiça em nosso coração por toda a vida. Tropeçaremos muitas vezes na jornada, mas ainda esperamos pela “cidade por vir” (v.14) onde a justiça de Deus reinará.   Por: KAREN PIMPO

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01628 – 29 de dezembro de 2025 Mateus 11:28-30 – Vinde a Mim, todos os que estais cansados e sobrecarregados, e Eu vos aliviarei. Tomai sobre vós o Meu jugo e aprendei de Mim, porque sou manso e humilde de coração, e achareis descanso para a vossa alma. Porque o Meu jugo é suave, e o Meu fardo é leve. Nessa exclusiva referência a respeito de Si mesmo como “humilde de coração”, Jesus nos apresenta a chave para o descanso que Ele nos oferece. Vivemos na cultura da “autopromoção”, da “defesa dos próprios direitos”, da “preocupação em ser o primeiro”, de “ganhar por intimidação”, da incansável busca por “tronos” e uma dúzia de outras agendas a serviço do eu. O que não entendemos é que tal atitude é precisamente o que mais destrói nossa paz. Estamos tão ocupados em nos defender, promover-nos ou manipular outros em nosso favor que nos programamos para uma nova guerra a cada dia. Mas o egoísmo pode ser muita coisa, menos algo novo: A Grécia dizia: “Seja sábio, conheça a si mesmo”. Roma ordenava: “Seja forte e se discipline”. O judaísmo insistia: “Seja bom e se ajuste à lei”. O hedonismo seduzia: “Busque o prazer e se satisfaça”. A educação orienta: “Seja hábil, expanda seu universo”. A psicologia motiva: “Seja confiante e se autoafirme”. O materialismo apregoa: “Seja possessivo, realize-se em possuir”. O humanismo ensina: “Seja capaz, creia em si mesmo”. O orgulho afirma: “Seja superior, promova os interesses pessoais”. Jesus Cristo ensinou-nos algo diferente: “Seja altruísta, vença o egoísmo subjugue a inclinação de explorar os outros e ‘tirar vantagem em tudo'. Seja generoso, porque, afinal, são os mansos que herdarão a terra. Quando eu penso neste surpreendente Jesus e em Sua desafiadora atitude, tão em descompasso com nossa natureza, eu não posso deixar de balançar a cabeça e sorrir. Em nossa sociedade ganhe-tudo-o-que-você-pode”, o conceito de vitória sobre o egoísmo e ser aquele que serve é considerado uma piada ou tolice. Paulo, depois de exortar os filhos do reino a nada fazer por partidarismo, considerar os outros superiores a si mesmo, não ter em vista o que é próprio, senão também o que é dos outros (Fp 2:3, 4), desafia-os a nutrir o mesmo sentimento encontrado em Jesus: “Embora sendo Deus, não considerou que o ser igual a Deus era algo a que devia apegar-se, mas esvaziou Se a Si mesmo, vindo a ser servo” (Fp 2:7, NVI). Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Senhor Deus e Pai: ajuda-nos em nossa luta contra o eu. Toma conta de nossos impulsos, de nossas emoções e qualquer outro interesse errado. Dependemos inteiramente de Ti. Toma conta de nossa vida, por favor! Em nome de Jesus, amém!

Neste sermão profundo e pastoral, o Pr. Leandro Peixoto apresenta a mensagem “Magos e Presentes: A Alegria do Natal”, baseada em Mateus 2.1–11, como parte da série O Natal: De Lá e Para Lá Outra Vez. A partir da visita dos magos do Oriente, somos conduzidos a compreender que a verdadeira celebração do Natal não está nos presentes, na festa ou nas memórias familiares — mas sim na alegria duradoura que nasce no coração daqueles que encontram Cristo.

No encerramento da série “O Natal: De Lá e Para Lá Outra Vez”, o Pr. Leandro Peixoto expõe Mateus 2.1–16 e apresenta a mensagem “A Viagem de Volta: A Transformação Causada pelo Natal”. A partir da expressão marcante “por outro caminho”, esta pregação mostra como o encontro com Cristo altera não apenas nossa rota, mas a lógica inteira da vida.

Fica lá até que eu te avise!Porque Herodes vai procurar o menino para matá-lo".José levantou-se de noite, pegou o menino e sua mãe,e partiu para o Egito.Ali ficou até à morte de Herodes,para se cumprir o que o Senhor havia dito pelo profeta:"Do Egito chamei o meu Filho".Quando Herodes morreu,o anjo do Senhor apareceu em sonho a José, no Egito,e lhe disse: "Levanta-te, pega o menino e sua mãe,e volta para a terra de Israel;pois aqueles que procuravam matar o meninojá estão mortos".José levantou-se, pegou o menino e sua mãe,entrou na terra de Israel.Mas, quando soube que Arquelau reinava na Judeia,no lugar de seu pai Herodes, teve medo de ir para lá.Por isso, depois de receber um aviso em sonho,José retirou-se para a região da Galileia,e foi morar numa cidade chamada Nazaré.Isso aconteceu para se cumpriro que foi dito pelos profetas:"Ele será chamado Nazareno".Palavra da Salvação.

Mensagem realizada no dia 28.12.2025Tema:  “O outro lado do Natal”Texto bíblico: Mateus 2.13–23Pregador: Pr. Matheus Schmidt

"OUVI-ME, vós os que seguis a Justiça, os que buscais ao Senhor. Olhai para a rocha de onde fostes cortados, e para a caverna do poço de onde fostes cavados.Olhai para Abraão, vosso pai, e para Sara, que vos deu à luz; porque, sendo ele só, o chamei, e o abençoei e o multipliquei." Isaías 51:1-2"Jesus disse: Bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça, porque eles serão fartos;" Mateus 5:6"Porque, quanto ao Senhor, Seus Olhos passam por toda a Terra, para mostrar-Se forte para com aqueles cujo coração é perfeito para com Ele…" II Crônicas 16:9"Porque todos pecaram e destituídos estão da Glória de Deus…" Romanos 3:23

O nascimento de Jesus acontece em meio ao medo, à dúvida e à incerteza. Cenário não muito ideal, semelhante às nossas vidas muitas vezes. Mas vemos o agir de Deus sem a necessidade de circunstâncias ideais. O Natal, portanto, é o anúncio de que Deus entra na história para trazer redenção. Essa maravilha nos convida a uma nova esperança. Não uma esperança baseada em circunstâncias fáceis, mas na presença constante de Deus no meio das dificuldades. Além disso, é um convite a uma nova vida, pois Jesus não veio apenas para emocionar ou inspirar, mas para salvar e transformar o coração humano. Celebrar o Natal é mais do que lembrar um evento histórico; é receber o Rei, confiar em sua obra salvadora e viver sob o seu governo em Graça. #igrejabatista #natal #seulugar #igrejanaoelugar

Confira:  “Se você encontrar aquela estrela, sempre poderá encontrar o caminho de casa.” Essas foram as palavras de meu pai, ao me ensinar a localizar a Estrela do Norte, quando criança. Papai tinha servido nas Forças Armadas durante a guerra e houve momentos em que a vida dele dependia de capacidade de navegar sob o céu noturno. Ele garantiu que eu soubesse os nomes e localizações de várias constelações, mas encontrar a estrela Polar era o mais importante. Saber a localização dessa estrela significava adquirir o senso de direção onde quer que estivesse e encontrar o meu caminho. As Escrituras falam de outra estrela de essencial importância. Alguns sábios do Oriente (área que hoje pertence ao Irã e Iraque) estavam atentos às estrelas no céu que indicavam o local do nascimento de quem seria o rei de Deus para o Seu povo. Eles vieram a Jerusalém perguntando: “Onde está o recém-nascido rei dos judeus? Vimos sua estrela no Oriente e viemos adorá-lo” (MATEUS 2:1-2). Os astrônomos não sabem o que causou o aparecimento da estrela de Belém, mas a Bíblia revela que Deus a criou para que o mundo se voltasse para Jesus: “a brilhante estrela da manhã” (APOCALIPSE 22:16). Cristo veio para nos salvar de nossos pecados e nos guiar de volta a Deus. Siga-o e você encontrará o caminho de casa.  Por: JAMES BANKS 

Muita gente tem grande expectativa pelo Natal, e você?O anúncio do nascimento de Jesus é marcado por expectativas. José e Maria foram surpreendidos pela expectativa de um bebê não planejado. Também carregaram a expectativa de serem os responsáveis pela criação do Filho de Deus, entre outras expectativas.Assim é o Natal! Até hoje a data é marcada por expectativas. Nessa data, parentes esperam pela chegada de familiares. São esperados muitos encontros e reencontros. As crianças esperam brinquedos (embora essa expectativa tenha sido imposta por nossa sociedade). As pessoas esperam harmonia, alegria, comunhão. Mas será que elas esperam um Salvador?Veja o que diz o texto de Mateus 1, versículo 21: "Ela dará à luz um filho e você porá nele o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo dos pecados deles."Jesus veio para nos salvar dos nossos pecados. Sem Jesus não haveria esperança ou possibilidade de alegria.Hoje é 24 de Dezembro, véspera de Natal. É dia de expectativa. Eu não sei bem o que você espera nessa data, mas quero convidar você a olhar pra Jesus como o Salvador. Se você não tem mais esperança ou se algo em sua vida está mal, olhe pra Ele, confie Nele. Ele veio nos salvar!Que o Natal seja uma data de renovação de expectativas a partir de Jesus. Feliz Natal

"E será que, se ouvires a Voz do Senhor teu Deus, tendo cuidado de guardar todos os Seus Mandamentos que Eu hoje te ordeno, o Senhor teu Deus te exaltará sobre todas as nações da Terra.E todas estas bênçãos virão sobre ti e te alcançarão, quando ouvires a Voz do Senhor teu Deus:Bendito serás na cidade, e bendito serás no campo." Deuteronômio 28:1-3"Então Pedro, aproximando-se dEle, disse: Senhor, até quantas vezes pecará meu irmão contra mim, e eu lhe perdoarei? Até sete?Jesus lhe disse: Não te digo que até sete; mas, até setenta vezes sete." Mateus 18:21-22

23 DE DEZEMBRO - TERÇARef.: Mateus 25.14-30

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01621 – 22 de dezembro de 2025 Mateus 24:44 – Por isso, ficai também vós apercebidos; porque a hora em que não cuidais, o Filho do Homem virá. Conta-se o caso da extraordinária dedicação de um cão ao seu dono. Um dia, o homem se machucou gravemente e foi levado a toda pressa para o hospital. O cãozinho o acompanhou. Quando o ferido foi transportado da ambulância para o leito, despediu-se de seu amigo à porta, com as palavras: “Voltarei logo, Tupi! Espere aqui por mim!” O homem faleceu na mesa de cirurgia, mas o fiel Tupi ficou lá de sentinela. As horas se tornaram em dias, os dias, em semanas, e Tupi permaneceu esperando seu dono. Empregados do hospital colocaram uma esteira junto à porta para Tupi, e davam-lhe comida. O cão permaneceu fiel à ordem de seu dono até o fim. Um dia Jesus disse: “Meus filhos, Me ausentarei por algum tempo, mas voltarei. Esperem-Me e estejam prontos quando Eu voltar!” O tempo do retorno dEle está chegando! Este é o momento em que devemos tomar a decisão de nos preparar para aquele dia glorioso. As Escrituras afirmam que nosso corpo será transformado, de corruptível para incorruptível, num instante, num piscar de olhos. Já o nosso caráter precisa ser aperfeiçoado, transformado. O que seremos quando Jesus vier depende das decisões que tomamos agora, do nosso procedimento de hoje. Precisamos estar preparados para o encontro com o Senhor! É brilhante a esperança do segundo advento! A expectativa de encontrarmos o Criador, face a face deve nos levar a pensar seriamente no tipo de vida que estamos vivendo. Quais tem sido nossas prioridades? Quanto tempo temos separado para aquilo que realmente importa? Romperemos com os pecados acariciados para receber o perdão e a transformação que ele quer realizar em nossa vida? Jesus recomendou que ficássemos atentos, apercebidos. Não distraídos ou desinteressados. A volta dEle poderá pegar-nos de surpresa, se isso acontecer. No momento que não estivermos preparados, o Filho do Homem poderá chegar. Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Grande Deus e Pai: me ajude nesse preparo. Que seja o resultado de uma comunhão diária, contínua contigo. Por favor, faça isso na vida de cada um de meus ouvintes, agora. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

"E aconteceu depois destas coisas, que PROVOU DEUS A ABRAÃO, e disse-lhe: Abraão! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui. E disse: Toma agora o teu filho, o teu único filho, Isaque, a quem amas, e vai-te à terra de Moriá, e oferece-o ali em holocausto sobre uma das montanhas, que Eu te direi." Gênesis 22:1-2"Porque onde estiver o vosso tesouro, ali estará também o vosso coração."

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01611 – 12 de dezembro de 2025 Mateus 6:31 – Não se preocupem, dizendo: Que vamos comer? ou Que vamos beber? ou Que vamos vestir? Certa ocasião, o Serviço de Saúde dos Estados Unidos mandou imprimir a seguinte declaração sobre a tendência para a preocupação: “Tanto quanto saibamos, nenhum pássaro tentou construir mais ninhos do que seu vizinho. Nenhuma raposa se aborreceu por ter apenas uma toca para se esconder. Nenhum esquilo morreu de ansiedade pelo fato de não ter o suprimento para dois invernos em lugar de um, e nenhum cachorro perdeu o sono pelo fato de não ter ossos suficientes para anos futuros”. Sabedor de nossa fragilidade como seres humanos, Jesus repetiu três vezes no Sermão do Monte a ordem “não se preocupem”. As recomendações ligadas a essa ordem fazem parte, hoje em dia, de conselhos nas áreas da medicina, psicologia e espiritualidade. A principal razão pela qual nos preocupamos é que desejamos controlar nossa vida, em lugar de confiar o futuro a Deus. Chegamos a pensar que podemos administrar melhor os resultados e o inesperado. Há inúmeras preocupações que nos assaltam no dia a dia: perder o emprego, sofrer um acidente, perder o cônjuge, bens, saúde, etc. A isso nossa imaginação acrescenta dúvidas, medos, números e expectativas. Ou, como diz um provérbio sueco: “A preocupação faz de um pequeno objeto uma grande sombra.” Quando nos preocupamos, bloqueamos a corrente natural de pensamento, o que nos impede de tomar resoluções adequadas. Quando nos preocupamos, chegamos até certo ponto a questionar a sabedoria de Deus. Mas nada é grave, difícil ou impossível para o Senhor. Ele sabe o que é melhor e cuida de nós. Estatísticos de uma universidade americana fizeram um estudo sobre coisas que preocupam o ser humano. Reuniram os itens em quatro grupos: 1º – 40% preocupam-se com coisas que nunca aconteceram; 2º – 30% preocupam-se com coisas que já aconteceram e não podem ser mudadas; 3º – 22% ocupam a mente com pequenas preocupações e crítica infundada dos demais; 4º – 8% têm preocupações legítimas. “Coisa alguma é grande demais para que Ele não possa suportar, pois é Ele quem mantém os mundos e governa o Universo. Nada daquilo que, de alguma forma, diz respeito à nossa paz é pequeno demais para que Ele não note. […] Nenhuma calamidade poderá sobrevir ao mais humilde de Seus filhos […] sem que Lhe desperte imediato interesse” (Caminho a Cristo, p. 100). Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Pai, por favor, arranca de dentro de nós a preocupação e ansiedade. Preencha esse espaço com a Tua graça maravilhosa e a certeza de que não estamos sozinhos. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

Bíblia King James em Áudio | Mateus

"O qual, nos dias da Sua Carne, oferecendo, com grande clamor e lágrimas, orações e súplicas AO QUE O podia livrar da morte, foi ouvido quanto ao que temia. Ainda que era Filho, aprendeu a obediência, por aquilo que padeceu." Hebreus 5:7-8"Enganoso é o coração, mais do que todas as coisas, e perverso; quem o conhecerá?" Jeremias 17:9…Vós orareis assim: Pai nosso, que estás nos Céus, SANTIFICADO seja o Teu Nome; Venha o Teu Reino, SEJA FEITA A TUA VONTADE, assim na Terra como no Céu; Mateus 6:9-10

Por Pr. Eduardo Pena. | Mateus 4:16,17 | https://bbcst.net/V9472

"Vós, porém, não estais na carne, mas no Espírito, se é que o Espírito de Deus habita em vós. Mas, se alguém não tem o Espírito de Cristo, esse tal não é dEle." Romanos 8:9"Mas, BUSCAI PRIMEIRO o Reino de Deus, e a Sua Justiça, e todas estas coisas vos serão acrescentadas." Mateus 6:33
