No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quinta-feira (26/06/2025): Num intervalo de pouco mais de uma hora, Câmara e Senado, em sessões distintas, derrubaram decreto do governo que elevava alíquotas do IOF para algumas aplicações financeiras. Enquanto deputados de oposição cobravam corte de gastos pelo governo e atacavam o aumento de imposto, o Senado aprovava o aumento do número de deputados federais de 513 para 531, o que resultará em despesa anual extra de R$ 64,8 milhões, além de gerar efeito cascata nas Assembleias Legislativas. No caso do IOF, foi anulada a taxação das Letras de Crédito Imobiliário (LCIs) e do Agronegócio (LCAs), antes isentas, em 5%. Títulos públicos e CDBs teriam alíquota única de IR de 17,5%, independentemente de prazo de aplicação, o que também caiu. A articulação política do governo foi surpreendida com a decisão do presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), de levar o tema a votação ontem, em uma semana esvaziada no Congresso por causa das festas juninas.

Jesus Delivered Us (2) (audio) David Eells – 6/25/25 I'm going to continue speaking about how Jesus has delivered us. When the Syrophoenician woman asked Jesus to deliver her daughter in (Matthew 15:21-28), who was “grievously vexed with a demon” (Mat.15:26) … He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. Deliverance is for God's people; deliverance is “the children's bread.” Those who think they can go and just cast demons out of any lost person do not know anything about deliverance. In the first place, it's a very dangerous thing to do. We are the ones who are in covenant with God, the covenant being deliverance from the curse of sin and of death (Rom.8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.). This is our covenant. We have a right to total deliverance from bondage of the flesh and from bondage to demon spirits. We have the right, but that does not mean we will attain it. The right to deliverance comes when we receive knowledge and understanding of the promises, and then we enter into those covenant promises by faith. The Bible says in (Heb.4:3) …the works were finished from the foundation of the world. So the only thing remaining is for us to enter into those works through faith. It also says in (Heb.4:2) …but the word of hearing did not profit them (the Jews), because it was not united by faith with them that heard. When the Israelites were supposed to conquer their Promised Land, all they needed to do was what Joshua and Caleb did; they believed the Word of God. Ten of the twelve spies who came back did not believe the Word of God. They believed only what they saw, felt, and heard, and those were the things they confessed. They did not enter into the Promised Land because they brought back a bad report. Let's read that. (Num.13:25) And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. (26) And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. (27) And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us; and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. (28) Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. (29) Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan. (30) And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. (31) But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. (32) And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.  (33) And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. (Num.14:1) And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. This is also a type and shadow. There are ministers today who do not believe that we can be holy. They do not believe we can overcome sin and the devil. God wants to lead us through our Promised Land or Land of Promise to come against our enemies and conquer them all. But you have no authority to cast a demon out of a person who is full of bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, and resentment. You'll waste a lot of breath trying to deliver these people because, without true repentance, they can come back. And you do not know the tormentors; you just know that they are demons. They could be demons of spiritual infirmities or they could be unclean spirits. Anyone wanting to help in the ministry of deliverance should first be filled with the Holy Spirit. We need this gift, and a person who is not filled with the Holy Spirit has no business in any deliverance ministry. In the days of the first disciples, all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they would make sure other disciples were also filled with the Holy Spirit. (Act.19:1) And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: (2) and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was [given]. (3) And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. (4) And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. (5) And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit is God's authority to know what is going on in people. We are to live under the law of the Spirit (Romans 7:6,8:2,4; etc.). The Old Testament Law, all those rules and regulations, was given to Israel because they did not have the Spirit of God, and so they didn't know what to do when they got into such-and-such a situation. It does not work that way in the New Testament because we have the Holy Spirit to lead us. (Gal.5:18) But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. He guides us in the ministry of deliverance from lusts of the flesh and demons that rule over the lusts of the flesh. The most common reason why people don't get delivered from demons is because they are not right with their brother, and what often happens is that not being right with their brother does not get revealed. Jesus tells us to make things right with our brother before we bring our gift before the altar; otherwise, He will turn you over to the jailer and the jailer will throw you into prison. That “jailer” is the devil. (Mat.5:23) If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, (24) leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (25) Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Jesus came to set the captives free. That is what we were, but that is not what we are now supposed to be. We were captive to the lusts of the flesh, representing the old man of the land, who seems like a giant to us, and were captive to the devil. We were in prison, having no hope without God. In Luke 4, Jesus was quoting from Isaiah, (Isa.61:1) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound… Liberty to the captives has been proclaimed, but not everybody is entering into this liberty being cowards before their giant flesh. Our job as ministers of reconciliation is to minister the same thing that Jesus ministered. (2Co.5:18) But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation. Our job is to proclaim the liberty that was given to us at the Cross. This liberty is deliverance from bondage to the flesh man, and deliverance from the demons that rule over the him. Then Jesus went on in (Luk.4:18) … to proclaim release to the captives, and recovering of the sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, (19) to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. He did not quote the second part of the sentence in (Isa.61:2) To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God… He only quoted the first half of this verse because the day He was ministering in was the day of the Lord's favor, but in these days we're coming to the second half, “the day of vengeance of our God.” While grace and liberty to the captives are being offered, to the extent that we will humble ourselves to the Word is the extent we can enter into it. The Bible says in (Rev.22:18) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. Even though we have authority to cast out demons, there won't be anything lasting you can do for a person who is adding to or taking away from the Word. If you think you are going to deliver them from that curse, then you're deceived, and you haven't read Deuteronomy 28 for yourself. So that person should fill themselves with the Word to keep their gift. It was not the devil who put the curse on this earth; it was God. He sent the curse because of man's rebellion. The curse is designed to motivate us to run to the Cross and to make us run to Jesus Christ, Who has the only antidote for the curse. The world likes to deceive us into thinking they can solve our curses for us, but it's not possible. All the world can do is just shove the curse around without solving a thing, and they're about to see the truth of that now. For example, diseases they thought they had wiped out are coming back, and they're coming back stronger than ever because of man's intervention. And mans so called cure is killing a lot of people.  You see, it's not possible to destroy a curse that God has put out there, but He also sent Jesus Christ to deliver us from that curse when we repent. God is so merciful that He sent the curse to turn us away from the wrath of hell. The devil will laugh at you when you want to deliver somebody who has not repented. It's a waste of breath and time, and I know because I've tried to do it. When you have people who have not repented, it doesn't matter that they call themselves “Christians.” It makes no difference, lasting deliverance from the curse comes by repentance, faith, and obedience. There's no way we can get around that.  Jesus said, (Mat.28:18)… All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. This does not leave anything for the devil if it is not given to him, since Jesus delegated His authority to us when He said, (Mat.18:18) Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. That was delegating authority to us; so how is it then that the devil gets his authority? He gets it from us. When we walk out from under the Blood and walk in the flesh, submitting to demon spirits, we give the devil authority. The only way to take away his authority in that case is through repentance and faith that Christ delivered us. The apostle Paul, by the Holy Spirit, turned a man over to Satan (1Co.5:5) to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Again, you cannot get around this. If you had come to that man after Paul had turned him over to the devil, thinking to cast out all of the demons from him, you would have been deceived because those demons will literally play with you. Sometimes they'll act as if they are gone, and sometimes they will even come out, but they will not be gone for long. When you turn your head, they're right back, and if you ask them, “Hey, what are you doing? I thought I cast you out of there!” They'll tell you, “No, we have a right to be here. They want us to be here.” Or, “They invited us to be here.” I've actually heard demons say that. The demons know when they have a right, and you'll be wasting your time because they'll just deceive you. What does the Bible say will happen if you cast demons out of a person who does not repent? They may come back seven times worse. (Mat.12:43) But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. (44) Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (45) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. These were apostate covenant people. Mere flesh can be dealt with by repentance and faith, but sometimes you find that even when you exercise repentance and faith, you are still not having success. That's because demonic oppression or possession is a compelling bondage that goes beyond just mere flesh. It is still repentance and faith that gets rid of the bondage of a demon spirit, but first you have to take away the “stink” that brings them. The “stink” arises when someone is giving in to the flesh or sin. “Flies” represent demons, and the “flies” come to the stink. Beelzebub, the devil, is known as the “Lord of the Flies.” Scripture calls him “Beelzebub the prince of the demons.” (Mat.12:24) But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons. As long as you have the stink, the flies will come because they have a right to come. If you repent of the stink and get rid of the stink, that will cast out the demon or demons, and they won't be able to come back. Most deliverance happens when people do not have the foggiest idea that they have ever been delivered of anything. A lot of deliverance happens when people get saved. By the depth of their commitment to Christ, they are delivered of many demon spirits. I, and others close to me, have had demons from which we were delivered. We mentioned a man whom Paul turned over to Satan in 1 Corinthians 5:5. Did you know this man was a Christian? So what was it that caused him to be delivered over to Satan? It was the lusts of his flesh. You are protected if you walk under the Blood of Jesus Christ, but willful disobedience is not under the Blood. The Bible warns in (Heb.10:26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. Willful disobedience brings judgment by the “tormentors,” who are demons. (Matthew 18:34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. Demons can bring forth sickness and corruption of all kinds. When Jesus cast out demons, who was receiving that deliverance? Well, what did Jesus say? (Mat.15:24) … I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It was not the Canaanites who lived around them; it was the Israelites, the people who had God's Covenant promise. Jesus said that casting out demons is for God's children. He did not cast demons out of the world, because deliverance is the “children's bread” (Mark 7:27). This makes it clear that the Covenant people were the only people out of whom Jesus was casting demons. Deliverance is what God has provided for His children. The world is not in covenant with God, and they have no right to deliverance, healing, or any of the promises of the New Covenant, nor the blessings of the New Testament. If it is the “children's bread,” then it is not to be given to the world; however, Jesus had to have been awed at the Syrophoenician woman's great faith. Since He was right on the edge of a new covenant, He counted her as a believer and He gave her what she asked. (Mar.7:26) Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. (27) And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. (28) But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. (29) And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. The Bible says, (Rom.1:16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. You see, there's a condition in the Gospel that has to be met in order to receive deliverance, healing, soul salvation, and so forth, and that condition is believing what the Gospel says. You may ask, “Does God ever cast a demon out of somebody who does not believe or even think because they are totally possessed?” Yes, He does, but it's usually because they are among the elect and will later believe, like with the demoniac of the tombs (Mark 5:1-20; Matthew 8:28-34; Luke 8:26-39). Sometimes they are oppressing others who have a right to peace. In most cases it takes repentance and belief in order to get deliverance. (Mat.8:16) And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: (17) that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases. This word “our” is talking about us. Christians spoke and wrote these words. Jesus took the curse from us. Did He bear the curse for the world? Yes, but it is ultimately to “whosoever will” (Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:34; Revelation 22:17; etc.) Who is “whosoever will?” The Bible says, (Joh.6:44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him… The elect will; this is absolutely clear. The elect are those who bear fruit and were chosen before the foundation of the world, as the Bible says. (Eph.1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ: (4) even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: (5) having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (6) to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: (7) in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, (8) which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, (9) making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him (10) unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say,] (11) in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will; (12) to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: (13) in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, (14) which is an earnest (down payment) of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession, unto the praise of his glory. The “elect” are the overcomers who will be standing at the end of their time of testing (Romans 12:21; 1 John 5:4; Revelation 2:7,11,17,26-28; 3:5,12,21; etc.). Many of the called will not, but the elect will have gotten what Jesus was talking about here because the elect are those who bear fruit. (Mat.22:14) For many are called, but few chosen. The Greek word here for “chosen” is the same word for “elect,” eklektos. Many are the called, as we see from when God called the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus 3:10; Hosea 11:1-7). He said in (Mat.2:15) … Out of Egypt did I call my son. He also said in (Jud.1:5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. You see, “calling” is not “election”; “calling” is on the way to election. “Calling” just means “an invitation,” from the Greek word klētos, “to invite.” Jesus has invited us to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ. If we do this, we will not have any problem bearing fruit. 2Pe 1:10  Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:  The Bible says, (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. So you may be wondering how a Christian can have a demon and the Holy Spirit at the same time. It's simple; let me explain. The body is a temple. (1Co.6:19) Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; (20) for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. The ancient manuscripts say, “a temple of the Holy Spirit” because the Temple was threefold (Exodus chapters 25-27). It had an outer court, a holy place, and the Holy of Holies, and the outer court was called the “Court of the Gentiles” (Revelation 11:2). Were Gentiles holy? No, and we have proof from Old Testament examples that evil people did come into the outer court. They even laid hands on the horns of the altar to receive mercy (1 Kings 1:50; 2 Chronicles 23:12;15; Matthew 23:35), and sometimes they found mercy and other times they did not. So we see that evil could come into the outer court, but it could not come into the Holy of Holies. Some people like to say that the Spirit of God will not dwell in an unclean temple. If you're talking about the flesh, the flesh is unclean and it's also the enemy of God. (Rom.8:6) For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: (7) because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: (8) and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. In fact, when the Bible talks about the lusts of the flesh, those lusts have the same nature as the demons do because the flesh is unclean and it's not going to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. (1Co.15:50) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Only the “High Priest” Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, dwells in your “Holy of Holies,” your spirit. The demons do not enter into the spirit. Except for the High Priest, anybody who came into the Holy of Holies was struck dead. (Lev.16:2) And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat. No evil could go into the Holy of Holies because that was the place of only the High Priest. The Holy Spirit is not dwelling in an unclean temple when He dwells in your spirit. Your spirit is clean. He has to give you a new spirit before He can even come and dwell there. You need to be born again before He can come and dwell in that spirit. (Gal.4:6) And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Demons come into the flesh with the desire to possess your soul, which is your mind, will, and emotions. The Lord comes into your spirit with the desire to possess your soul. The warfare is between spirit and flesh; God and demons seek to possess the soul. (Act.10:38) Even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. We've been lied to about the supposed difference between “possession” and “oppression.” “Possession” is when the demon is reaching out of the flesh and into the soul, taking control of the mind, the actions, and the character of the person. If you've ever seen a schizophrenic, where one moment they are given over to the lusts of the flesh, and the next minute they seem to straighten right back up. Is that person possessed or not? They are possessed when that happens and they are not possessed when the demon backs off. The demon is still in them; he hasn't gone anywhere. All he's done is just back out of the soul into the flesh, becoming dormant, and he remains there until the next time he wants to take control. The Holy Spirit is the same way. Just because you have the Holy Spirit does not mean you are being led by the Holy Spirit. Having the Holy Spirit is not even going to save you! (Rom.8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. You can have the Holy Spirit, but not be led by Him, and it's the same with demons. You can have demons, without the demons being in control. We should desire to give possession of this “land” to the spiritual man (Hebrews 6:4-8). God, through the Spirit, gives our spiritual man the power to possess our soul. When you walk after the flesh, the Bible says you must die. (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. When you walk after the flesh, you permit the demon's power to reach into your soul to take control of your thinking, actions, and character, your very nature. In the world they call this “schizophrenia,” but it's demon possession. There is only one nature that is the “real you”. The demons like to come into Christians and impart their own thoughts to deceive them into thinking that this is their nature. The demons give themselves up to the lusts of the flesh and then rule the Christians by speaking in their minds and blending into their characters so that they do not even know that it is them. Christians think it's themselves, but those demons can be forced to manifest by the Authority of God. Some of you may have heard or seen the Gospel being preached and demons manifesting in Christians. They are forced to manifest because they hate the Gospel. They hate tongues and they hate the Blood of Jesus. They hate all things that are Godly. If you learn the things that they hate, those are your best weapons against them. Some of you have already found out that these demons can hide in you very tactfully, convincing you that their thinking is your thinking. Thoughts coming through your mind might seem to be yours, but when forced to manifest by the Word of God, you realize they're coming from a demon. Where the Word of God is tormenting these demons, they will manifest, and this is exactly what happened in Jesus' Presence. The Word of God forced them to manifest. (Mat.8:28) And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. (29) And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? If you have a repentant person and you command these demons to give their name and to manifest in some way, they will do it. If they have never been commanded to manifest, you may have never actually felt their presence. When they are commanded to do so, they will literally speak out of a person and give their name, but they'll also argue with you and lie to you. They will do all the things that demons like to do. Now it's helpful to have other people alongside, but you can deliver yourself because we have that authority. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. If you suspect something is more than just flesh, then exercise your authority and command those demons to go. Sometimes they will speak in your mind, or you'll get their name in your mind. Sometimes their names will come right out of the person's mouth. Many times, a strong, compelling desire turns out to be a demon, not the flesh, but the devil wants you to think that it is only flesh. We are in the process, called “sanctification,” of being delivered of two things: defilement of flesh and spirit (2 Corinthians 7:1). But is your spirit defiled? If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in a new, clean spirit Who is called the Spirit of Christ in you. (Gal.4:6) And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. This is a Christian. God says, (Eze.36:26) A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 27  And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes… Notice, a “new spirit” and then “My Spirit” or the Holy Spirit. You do not have a defiled spirit, so why does Scripture say to Christians, “let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit”? It's because this defilement of spirit is talking about the defilement of you by demon spirits. This is not talking about the defilement of your spirit because your spirit is the only part of you that is totally white and clean. If it is not, you are not a Christian. The defilement that we have the authority to get rid of is the defilement of our souls by the flesh and evil spirits. Do you know what “self” is in the Bible? It is a synonymous term for the word “soul.” One Gospel will say “self” and another Gospel will say “soul” in a same text in another Gospel. “Self” and “soul” are the same. We want to be delivered of all defilement of our soul by both flesh and spirits. (Col.3:5) Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; (6) for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: (7) wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; (8) but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: (9) lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, (10) and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him. The Bible tells us in (Eph.4:27) Neither give place to the devil. The Greek word “place” there is a geographic term meaning “region” or “area.” This is the exact thing God talked about when He was cleansing the Promised Land from the pagan tribes that controlled it. (Deu.7:1) When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou… All these “ites” had their demonic “gods” (Deuteronomy 32:17). If you leave a place for the lusts of the flesh to live in your land, you are going to sin because they will make you sin, so we are not to leave them any place in our land. (Deu.7:2) And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them; (3) neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. (4) For he will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly. When Jesus delivered the woman with a “spirit of infirmity” in (Luke 13:11), He said in (Luk.13:16) And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? Jesus called this woman a “daughter of Abraham,” and you might think, “Well, He's just talking about Jews,” yet Jesus never called the literal, physical Jews “daughters and sons of Abraham.” These Jewish leaders and their followers were professing Abraham to be their father, but Jesus totally disagreed with them because a daughter or son of Abraham, like the woman He loosed, is someone who is truly in covenant with God. (Joh.8:38) I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father. (39) They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. Here's the point: “Ye would do the works of Abraham.” (Joh.8:40) But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham. (41) Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God. (42) Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. (43) Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word. (44) Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Paul said the same thing; he said that people who walk by faith are the sons of Abraham. (Gal.3:7) Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. Jesus never disagreed with this. This woman who was loosed, got her deliverance because she was a daughter of Abraham. The people who were coming to Jesus were Covenant people, just as we are Covenant people. They had the right of the Covenant and therefore they got healing and deliverance from God. We are proving ourselves through this “trial in the wilderness,” through the things that we're going through, to be either sons of Abraham or sons of the devil. The Bible says in (1Jn.2:6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. Sons of the devil in the world have no Covenant rights, and you're just casting the children's bread to the dogs when you try to deliver an unrepentant person (Mark 7:27). You'll have the same problem, too, if you're trying to give deliverance to a Christian who is unrepentant. We are proving who are overcomers, those who truly belong to Christ. They are going to be the ones who are proven to be the Elect of God (Philippians 2:12; 2 Peter 1:10). We can prove ourselves just as much sons of the devil by our actions as these people proved themselves sons of the devil by their actions. Jesus pointed out to them, “No, if you were of your father Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham!” Amen.

Na manhã de 24 de junho, num contexto marcado por instabilidade crescente e um frágil cessar-fogo, recebemos Daniel Pinéu para analisar os impactos geopolíticos do ataque israelita ao Irão. Especialista em relações internacionais, Pinéu é professor e investigador na Universidade de Amesterdão, com um percurso académico que passa pelos EUA, Alemanha e Paquistão, onde aprofundou o conhecimento da complexa dinâmica do Médio Oriente. O episódio centra-se na recente ofensiva militar de Israel contra o Irão, desencadeada sob o argumento da iminente ameaça nuclear. Netanyahu, com o apoio tácito dos EUA, parece ter avançado com um plano mais vasto: desestabilizar os vizinhos, consolidar o poder regional e eliminar qualquer possibilidade de um Estado palestiniano. Discutimos também a erosão da ordem internacional, o papel ambíguo da ONU e o silêncio cúmplice das grandes potências perante alegações de genocídio em Gaza. O episódio aborda o papel de Trump, a possível retirada do Irão do Tratado de Não Proliferação Nuclear, e o impacto desta escalada no equilíbrio geoestratégico global, com destaque para o posicionamento cauteloso da China e da Rússia. Num mundo onde a guerra parece uma constante, Daniel Pinéu ajuda-nos a perceber se ainda há espaço para soluções diplomáticas ou se estamos perante uma mudança irreversível na arquitetura internacional. Este é um episódio urgente, gravado num dos momentos mais voláteis da política mundial recente.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Moçambique assinala neste 25 de Junho de 2025, os 50 anos da sua independência. Por esta ocasião, a RFI propõe-vos um percurso pela história do país e a sua luta pela liberdade. No décimo quarto episódio desta digressão, evocamos o balanço que é feito hoje pelos herdeiros da luta de libertação. Neste dia 25 de Junho, Moçambique recorda os 50 anos da sua independência. Um aniversário que coincide com um momento político ainda marcado pelas recentes manifestações pós-eleitorais e a sua severa repressão. Num país cuja metade da população tem menos de 15 anos mas onde os recursos económicos não têm sido suficientes para responder a todas as necessidades, aumenta a frustração. Um sentimento que é tanto mais agudo que existe uma percepção nítida de que a corrupção, designadamente o caso das ‘dividas ocultas', tem condicionado o desenvolvimento do país. Uma questão que a RFI abordou com Teresa Boene, pesquisadora do Centro de Integridade Pública. "O nível de corrupção no país tem vindo a crescer. O Índice de Percepção da corrupção indica que de 2014 a 2024, o país regrediu em cerca de seis pontos. E este caso das ‘dívidas ocultas' é um dos maiores casos de corrupção no país, que teve repercussões internacionais e impactos severos na economia moçambicana. Impactos que foram evidentes na dívida pública, que cria uma pressão nas finanças públicas. Nós recentemente também lançamos um artigo que fala sobre o nível da dívida pública no país, que já supera um trilhão de meticais. E a descoberta das ‘dívidas ocultas' também minou a confiança dos credores internacionais, tendo cortado o apoio externo que Moçambique tinha. E isto levou para que o Governo tivesse que financiar o seu défice fiscal através de empréstimos internos, sendo que os encargos associados a esses são maiores. E isso cria uma pressão sobre as finanças públicas", constata a pesquisadora. "Para superar ou ultrapassar a situação que o país está a passar, há uma necessidade de se garantir a segurança e estabilidade. Qualquer economia não prospera em um ambiente de instabilidade e insegurança. Por outro lado, há uma necessidade de se lutar contra a corrupção, que também é um mal que deteriora a economia", preconiza Teresa Boene ao referir que o CIP também insiste na necessidade de se investir na indústria transformadora em Moçambique de modo a impulsionar "uma mais-valia" para os recursos de que o país dispõe. A insegurança que se faz sentir sob diversas formas e nomeadamente em Cabo Delgado, no extremo norte do país, tem condicionado a economia mas igualmente o próprio processo político do país, constata João Feijó, Investigador do Observatório do Meio Rural. "Esse conflito não tem fim à vista. Já passou por várias fases. Houve aquela fase inicial de expansão, depois houve o ataque a Palma, numa altura em que a insurgência controlava distritos inteiros de Mocímboa da Praia, grande parte de Macomia. Depois, a entrada dos ruandeses significou uma mudança de ciclo. Passaram a empurrar a insurgência de volta para as matas. Conseguiram circunscrevê-los mais ou menos em Macomia, mas não conseguiram derrotá-los. A insurgência consegue-se desdobrar e fazer ataques isolados. (…) Ali é preciso reformas políticas, mas que o governo insiste em negar. E então continuamos há quase oito anos neste conflito, neste impasse", lamenta o estudioso. Dércio Alfazema, activista moçambicano dos Direitos Humanos, considera que o país tem tido dificuldade em abstrair-se dos efeitos de 50 anos quase contínuos de conflitos e crises. "É muito difícil nós nos colocarmos como um exemplo do respeito dos Direitos Humanos num contexto em que estamos há 50 anos em ciclos permanentes de violência e violência extrema » refere o activista para quem « a questão dos Direitos Humanos ainda é um desafio. Constitucionalmente está estabelecido. Os políticos, sobretudo o Presidente da República, o actual, têm estado recorrentemente a chamar a atenção, mesmo para os militares, nas zonas de conflito, como Cabo Delgado, onde temos a situação de terrorismo. Ele tem estado a chamar a atenção para se respeitar a questão dos Direitos Humanos, mas assegurar que na íntegra, são preservados, é difícil não só para Moçambique como também para outras partes do mundo onde nós temos e temos estado a acompanhar essas situações de conflito", diz Dércio Alfazema. Questionado sobre a desconfiança induzida no seio da sociedade moçambicana por processos eleitorais marcados por suspeitas e fraude e violências, o activista considera que "ainda não há uma estrutura que garanta a confiança tanto dos actores políticos, do cidadão, da população, como também das próprias instituições. As instituições também têm documentado e nós vimos nessas últimas eleições o Conselho Constitucional a reportar que alguns partidos trouxeram editais falsos, mas reivindicavam o resultado com base nesses editais falsos. Então, ainda há muita falta de sensibilidade em relação aos processos políticos eleitorais e como é que estes processos contribuem para a forma como a gente se relaciona e para a estabilidade do país". Na óptica de João Feijó, assiste-se nestes últimos anos a uma tentativa de centralização do poder e o diálogo político em curso é uma miragem. "Desde o novo milénio até hoje, estamos a acelerar novamente as tentativas de centralização, de partidarização do Estado por via a garantir aquilo que se chama, na linguagem sociológica, de acumulação primitiva do capital", considera o estudioso que ao recordar que frequentemente surge a interrogação "se a oposição está preparada para governar". Na verdade, diz João Feijó, "a questão que se deve colocar é ao contrário : se a Frelimo está preparada para sair do poder. Neste momento que estamos agora a ter é um momento de fim de ciclo, de ilegitimidade crescente da Frelimo, em virtude das políticas que foram desencadeadas nos últimos anos, que fizeram aumentar a pobreza que de 2014-2015 passou de 47% para 60%. E estamos a falar de cerca de 20 milhões de pobres neste país". Céptico, o sociólogo também o é relativamente ao processo de diálogo encaminhado nestes últimos meses pelo partido no poder com restantes forças de oposição. "Isto é um teatrinho. É uma encenação para dar a ideia de que existe diálogo. Porque o principal actor que deveria participar no diálogo é o candidato mais votado pela oposição, que era Venâncio Mondlane, que está literalmente excluído deste acordo e nem sequer tem lá alguém que o represente. Então qualquer tentativa de diálogo alargado que não inclua este actor, aos olhos da população, é um acto ridículo. Em segundo lugar, porque ao mesmo tempo que se fala em diálogo, há toda uma perseguição política em relação a Venâncio Mondlane, com vista a fragilizá-lo politicamente", denuncia João Feijó. No mesmo sentido, a activista social Quitéria Guirengane não esconde a sua preocupação e considera que o país "dorme sobre uma bomba-relógio". "Assusta-me o facto de nós dormirmos por cima de uma bomba relógio, ainda que seja louvável que as partes todas estejam num esforço de diálogo. Também me preocupa que ainda não se sinta esforço para a reconciliação e para a reparação. Nós precisamos de uma justiça restauradora. E quando eu olho, eu sinto um pouco de vergonha e embaraço em relação a todas as famílias que dia e noite ligavam desde Outubro à procura de socorro", considera a militante feminista que ao evocar o processo de diálogo, diz que "criou algum alento sob o ponto de vista de que sairiam das celas os jovens presos políticos. No entanto, continuaram a prender mais. Continua a caça às bruxas nocturna". "Não é este Moçambique que nós sonhamos. Por muito divididos que a gente esteja, precisamos de pensar em construir mais pontes do que fronteiras. Precisamos pensar como nós nos habilitamos, porque nos últimos meses nos tornamos uma cidade excessivamente violenta", conclui a activista que esteve muito presente nestes últimos meses, prestando apoio aos manifestantes presos e seus familiares. Aludindo igualmente à frustração que se expressou nas marchas no final do ano passado e no começo de 2025, o antropólogo Omar Ribeiro Thomaz da Universidade de Campinas no Brasil recorda as palavras que ouviu de um jovem estudante da cidade da Beira, aquando de uma pesquisa de terreno em 2015. "Quando os portugueses estavam aqui, eles diziam que o colonialismo era para sempre. Aí veio a revolução e acabou com o colonialismo. Aí a revolução diz que o socialismo era para sempre. Mas aí morreu o Samora, veio o plano de reajuste estrutural e aí veio o fim do socialismo e começou o liberalismo. Aí o liberalismo virou neoliberalismo. Conta para mim, professor, quando é que o liberalismo acaba e o que vem depois?", cita o professor universitário rematando que "existe uma percepção na população moçambicana de que essa situação de degradação não pode ser para sempre e que isso vai ter que mudar". Podem ouvir os nossos entrevistados na íntegra aqui:     A RFI conclui com uma palavra de agradecimento a todas as pessoas que participaram com o seu testemunho e as suas sugestões na elaboração desta série. Um grande obrigada também ao correspondente da RFI em Maputo, Orfeu Lisboa, a Osvaldo Zandamela e a Erwan Rome que nos acompanharam nesta digressão.

Num jogo 7 em que impôs sua badalada força defensiva, o Oklahoma City Thunder garantiu o primeiro título de sua história com Shai Gilgeous-Alexander eleito MVP das finais. Pedro Maia e Raphael Roque analisam a jornada do Thunder e a triste lesão de Tyrese Haliburton. E mais: Kevin Durant no Houston Rockets! O que esperar do time texano? Vem no play!

Num mundo coagulado, num tempo viscoso, em que só se podia andar aos tropeções, isto quando outros marchavam, cercavam, se punham em cima para que ninguém deixasse de se sentir deglutido, embrutecido, sem conseguir fazer outra ideia da vida, e ao menor esforço logo se sentisse ofegante, assim mesmo ainda houve um que outro a recusarem viver esse pesadelo da lentidão e da impotência, esse enfado dos órgãos. Houve quem fosse capaz de ver as coisas através da sua fadiga, e escavar à unha o seu penhasco. A ele ainda lhe ouvimos o passo nervoso, aquele seu canto de sereia roufenha, experimentada, abusiva. Aquela voz de miúdo, reinando com tudo e todos. Conhecemos muito bem o perfil, mesmo que não nos tenhamos chegado a cruzar pelas ruas com esse bicho escarolado, ficou-nos um rastro que não perdeu nada do seu calor. Quanto ao meio literário como ele o viu e mostrou, desde a sua morte fechou-se ainda mais nos seus cálculos e apostas, e, por estes dias, ao homem de letras já nem se pede que seja minimamente consequente, que pense alguma coisa, nem que procure dar testemunho do seu quinto dos infernos. Tudo refocila na mesmice, e assim, no limite, como assinalava Le Clezio, “toleram-se no escritor, no artista certos desvios, apenas na condição de poderem ser recuperados, e de essa liberdade jactanciosa poder ser confundida no interior da totalidade literária: simples concessões à moda, ao espírito do público, que é preciso saberem fazerem-se sob pena de se ser ignorado”. “E o que vem a ser um escritor que não seja lido?”, interroga ele. A suprema habilidade de Pacheco foi ter sabido dizer tudo o que queria e como queria, num pacto incerimonioso em que deixou que o tomassem por esse delinquente que serve só o consumo quotidiano do mal que o bem se autoriza. A verdade é que ao colaborar nesse número, foi ganhando margem, gozando o prato como um escritor excluído da ordem beneditina, e que, se passou mal, e tantas vezes se viu condenado a encarnar esse mal que o bem social inventa e de que necessita para a sua autopurificação, à medida que os anos foram passando, quase todos os grandes vultos, os santarrões que se acotovelavam nos nossos altares, foram caindo e desfazendo-se em cacos, e ele, com aquela sua biografia desabusada, em tantos momentos particularmente amarga, passou a representar essas noções que se aguentam de pé, acabando mesmo por se ver engolido pela ordem cultural que tanto fez por esbarrondar. O seu imenso romance desbocado ainda anima e arrepia, continua a dar lições sobre o atrevimento e essa força de quem não deixa nada por dizer, e mesmo se o fez a partir de um ângulo de absoluta subjectividade, hoje os seus juízos tendem a converter-se em denominador. Possui um nome que não deixa de ser repetido com uma frequência assombrosa em todo o lado, um nome que serve como uma praga. Mais do que um maldito, Pacheco ganhou entre nós o estatuto de uma maldição. E, no entanto, está longe de se ter convertido num desses grandes nomes, não se regenerou, por mais que algumas almas cândidas pretendam extrair-lhe à força uma moral, vendendo a banha da cobra subversora, como se a própria literatura não pudesse ser senão uma instituição redentora. Pelo contrário, para aqueles que se viram para ele buscando o raro alento que anima a insolência, sabem que a seriedade desta escrita se mede pela forma como incita o género de ataques que lixam a fulanada, a dos fornicoques justiceiros que temem ainda um regime de crónica cruel e rude, deixando a mula beletrista pela fúria rumorosa que cresce de um desabafo. Ora, o Pacheco não pedia desculpa de estar vivo e a escrever, como também nunca quis dar ele a missa, mesmo se admitia que a sua “memória regressiva tanto dava para o torto (as sacanagens) como para o actos de cristandade laica”. E agora, num momento em que mais do que ordenar, exaltar e autopsiar, o mais premente mesmo era trazê-lo por junto de volta ao nosso convívio regular, depois de lhe termos cosido pedaços das muitas partes, num volume que, antes de mais, o que quer é ter-se de pé sem apoio de espécie alguma, até para fazer de tijolo e estar apto a quebrar janelas, lá subimos à torre, fomos directamente ao buffet com o nosso prato deslavado, e se não deu para encher o bandulho, tentámos capturar a bandeira deixando, para a troca, umas enormes cuecas que levassem o vento por cima da Biblioteca Nacional a fazer caretas de todo o tamanho. Fica aqui o registo da apresentação que teve lugar esta tarde, e segue assim como um episódio extra, com as participações de Marta Félix, João Pedro George e Diogo Ramada Curto, entre outros.  

Jesus Delivered Us (audio) David Eells – 6/22/25 Father, fill us with faith as we discover what has been accomplished for us by the sacrifice of Jesus. How that he bound the strong man and delivered us from evil. Give us understanding that we be not ignorant of satan's devices. Help us to stand on Your Word and swing our sword of the Spirit which the fallen angels cannot resist. We ask for your grace and power to open up Your Word to our hearts and minds and make us all the spiritual warriors You have called us to be. The enemy fears those who know their rights. Saints, I'm going to talk to you today about what Jesus provided for us and our deliverance from the demonic hoards. When the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, He replied, (Luk.11:19) And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. (20) But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. (21) When the strong [man] (The word “man” is actually not in the original; it was added-in later. Jesus was calling the devil “the strong” when He was spoiling his kingdom.) fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace: (22) but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. (23) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. So it actually reads, (Luk.11:21) When the strong fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace. These “goods” Jesus is talking about are the things that the devil, “the strong,” has been given authority over in this world, and the “court” here represents his kingdom where he, “the strong,” rules and reigns. (Luk.11:21) When the strong  fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace: (22) but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him (That was Jesus who overcame him!), he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted. Did you know that the devil has no armor? His kingdom has no armor. He and his demons have no armor if we believe it. They have no protection against the authority that God has given to us. The protection has all been taken away from them. His “whole armor” has been taken away since it is God in (Col.1:13) Who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love. And He gave us authority in (Luk.10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. This is something that has already been accomplished; it isn't something that we have to accomplish. God has given us authority to partake of everything that Jesus did for us at the Cross. (Col.1:12) Giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet (The Greek there is “made us competent or able.”) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Whatever a saint walking in light is entitled to, God made us able to partake of that, so if you think that you lack ability, you are just wrong and you need to study the Scriptures. For example it says in (Eph.6:13) Wherefore take up the whole armor of God (So we have been given God's armor and the devil has none), that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. (16) Withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. So, through faith in this Word we can cast down all of his weapons against us. We are invincible. And in (Php.4:13) I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me. Jesus made us able to be a partaker in whatever we need. He made us able to plunder the devil's kingdom, and the devil's kingdom is wherever the devil rules or his curse reigns. Wherever the devil has ability, we now have the ability to take it away from him. The devil has no power if we believe this. Do you remember when Joshua and Caleb were seeking to bring the children of Israel into the Promised Land? After spying out the land, these two said that their enemies' defense was removed from over them. We read this in (Num.14:9) Only rebel not against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not. The demons and the people they use are the ones who should fear us. All that the other ten spies could see were the giants, but Joshua and Caleb saw that the enemy had no armor. That's the way we have to see the enemies of God's Kingdom. It makes no difference whether those enemies are the lusts of the flesh, works of darkness, demons, the devil, or whatever. Their defense is removed from over them. They have no power against the Word of God. Jesus was the “Stronger” Who came and took away their whole armor (Luke 11:22). Praise be to God! So Jesus has already divided the spoils for us. Those “spoils” of the devil's kingdom are all the places where he has taken advantage of your life or taken authority over the things or circumstances that God has put in your hands. All these add up to “spoils.” When Jesus went about doing good and “healing all who were oppressed of the devil” in (Acts 10:38), He was spoiling the devil's kingdom. If you are being oppressed of the devil, Jesus destroyed this oppression. He broke this power everywhere He went. Whether it was hunger, sickness, demonic possession, or mental need, it didn't make any difference; Jesus broke the oppression and He told us to do the same thing because (Mat.12:30) He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. The devil's power over God's people rests in the fact that God's people don't know that his power has already been broken, and they don't know the authority that's been given to them. Although the Word speaks it plainly, it still has to be a revelation that you pick up and use like a sword. The Bible says of Jesus in (Col.2:15) Having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. He already made spoil of our eneies. “Triumphing” is not the victory. “Triumphing” is celebrating the victory that has already been won. Jesus triumphed over the devil and He rubbed the devil's nose in what He had accomplished on the Cross. The victory was at the Cross; what came after the Cross was the triumph, which is our responsibility. (2Co.2:14) But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place. We are to simply celebrate His victory. Hallelujah! What we need to do is repeat what the Word says about our circumstances or situation, and we do that by stating what the Word says about our authority and righteousness. All we have to do is believe that. The devil wants us to look at ourselves and our failures and the curse around us, but we just need to remember that we have authority over that curse. We've been crucified with Christ and we're not alive anymore; now it's Christ Who lives in us. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. When we remember what the Word of God says about us and about our circumstances, we can celebrate the victory. When we are praising God for what He has done, this is triumphing over the devil; it's celebrating the victory! Praising God is not necessarily singing songs, and some songs that you sing in church don't really praise God. Many songs don't even confess the Word of God. They don't celebrate the victory, and as a matter of fact, a lot of them just confess the problem. We are not under the curse anymore because (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (He became accursed for us so that we could have Abraham's blessings.) So, how was Abraham blessed? (Gen.24:1) … And the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. (Gal.3:15) Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man's covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto. (16) Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. (17) Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect. (18) For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. So, now we are celebrating the victory that He has already accomplished. Jesus said in (Joh.16:33) … In the world ye have tribulation: be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. And He said in (Joh.19:30) … It is finished… That's what we have to remember when we look around us and, instead, we see the very opposite. If we apply the Word to the problem, we are going to spoil the principalities, the powers, and the rulers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). The Bible says when Jesus took away the devil's armor, He divided the spoil. (Isa.53:12) Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death… Jesus said in (Luk.11:23) He that is not with me is against me… He's talking there about those who are dividing or plundering the spoils. If you are with Jesus, then you are going to do what He did, and what He did was plunder the devil. All of His physical life, He plundered the devil, and by His victory over the devil, He made it possible for us to plunder the devil's kingdom too. We should be spoiling the devil's kingdom; we should be destroying the curse around us. We should be bringing people into victory by putting faith in their hearts. We should be delivering those who are captive by casting out demons. And we should be delivering those who are oppressed of the devil by healing the sick. We should be doing everything our Lord Jesus did. Jesus went on to say, (Luk.11:23) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. So you are either going to be “gathering” or you are going to be “scattering.” That means you are either going to be on the attack or you are going to be on the run. You're going to be doing one or the other, and sad to say, most Christians are on the run because they don't understand what Jesus did. They don't understand what the Word of God says. They don't understand what their position and calling is in this world. As believers, we are on the attack. We are going into the Promised Land to take this land for Jesus Christ, and not a man there can stand before us. The Lord said in (Jos.1:5) There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life. as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Most Christians don't understand that the victory has already been given to us. We are not supposed to go in there and lose people; we are supposed to go in there and conquer the enemy. It's been given to us to conquer the enemy. Jesus said in (Joh.20:21) … as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. God did not send Jesus to fail. He sent Him with the Word of God and He sends us with the Word of God too. He says in (Eph.6:17) And take the … sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. We have to take the Sword of the Spirit and we have to fight, because if we don't fight, we are going to lose. If we are not plundering, if we are not gathering the spoils, we're being scattered. The word “scattereth” there is from the Greek word skorpizo, and this is where we get the English word “scorpion.” It's from the same root as the Greek word skorpios, meaning “to penetrate and to put to flight.” When a scorpion stings with its tail, it penetrates and puts to flight because of the pain and misery it inflicts. Jesus spoke about scorpions. (Luk.10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. In the kingdom of the devil, scorpion spirits are tormentors. When a scorpion spirit stings you, just as with a real scorpion, it hardly ever kills, but it's very painful. Scorpion spirits can torment your body with sickness and pain, and they may also torment you with fear. (1Jn.4:18) …fear hath punishment… If you are not plundering, the devil is going to penetrate you with one of these spirits, causing you to flee. If you are not plundering, then your thinking is contrary to the Word of God and you are not going to stand up to the devil. (Luk.10:18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. (19) Behold, I have given you authority… If your Bible says “power” instead of the word “authority,” then it has the wrong word because the Greek there is exousia, and it means “authority.” “Authority” is the “right to use power.” You have been given the right to use God's Power. (19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (Now that word is the Greek word dunamis, meaning, “power.”) of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. (20) Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you… This is talking about serpent and scorpion spirits. These are different kinds of spirits and they have different works. In the kingdom of the devil, the serpent spirits have authority. While the poison a scorpion inflicts is in its tail, the poison that the serpent inflicts is in its head, and as the saying goes, it's the head that wags the tail. The Bible says in (Deu.28:13) And the Lord will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God… You are going to be above and not beneath; you are going to be the head and not the tail, just as Israel was supposed to be the head and not the tail. The tail reveals something about the head in most of God's creatures. For example, you can tell a dog's attitude when you look at its tail. If his tail is standing up in the air and wagging back and forth, you know that dog is happy and content, not fearful. But if his tail is tucked down between his legs, you can tell he's feeling guilty or fearful. You can read his mind by looking at his tail. The superior authority is always the head and not the tail. And the serpent's poison being in the head symbolizes that the serpent spirit poisons the mind. The job of the serpent spirit, mostly, is not to bring about torment, but to change your mind. Their job is to deceive, as the Bible says in (Gen.3:1) Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. He was subtle. He was crafty. He was wise in an evil way. (2Co.11:3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness (So the “serpent” is a beguiler.) your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ. Serpent spirits beguile. They are deluding spirits and deceiving spirits. They want to change your mind, just as the serpent changed Eve's mind, because he wanted to pervert her knowledge. He wanted her to partake of knowledge that was forbidden. (Gen.2:17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it… He wanted her to partake of knowledge that wasn't legal. Scripture tells us about different ways we can receive things through the spirit realm that are illegal. Let's go to (Deu.18:9) When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. (10) There shall not be found with thee any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, one that practiseth augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, (11) or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. (12) For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. (13) Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. (14) For these nations, that thou shalt dispossess, hearken unto them that practise augury, and unto diviners; but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. (20) But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. (21) And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? (22) when a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him. You see, there is false or deceptive knowledge. Going to consult familiar spirits or deceiving spirits, even if they claim to be prophets, is illegal. Going to consult wizards or necromancers is not allowed. All these operate in forbidden knowledge. But the devil wants to give you forbidden knowledge because he wants to delude you. He can make the “tail” do whatever he wants if he can change your mind, if he can change the knowledge that God has given you. If he can do that, then he's got you. That's why these serpent spirits have been given authority in the devil's kingdom. They are higher spirits than scorpion spirits because their primary purpose is to deceive you. Some of these “serpents” are “seducing spirits” that operate by giving you false doctrine. (1Ti.4:1) But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. They seduce you by giving all kinds of flesh-pleasing reasons why it is advantageous for you to believe their doctrines. There are seducing spirits forbidding you to eat meats, or to marry (as in this context), and so on, because if you have a false doctrine, that head is going to wag that tail. The devil knows the rest of the body is going to follow. The most important thing for the devil is that you accept the spirits that work in your head; that's the way he can control the rest of your life.  Remember, we are not to receive forbidden knowledge. Instead, we're supposed to be (2Co.10:5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. You'll win the battle if you start with the head, but if you have spirits of rejection, fear, anxiety, condemnation, or guilt, then the devil has a stronghold in you. If you have anything that he can use against you, then you've got a “spy in your camp”. And the devil has rights now, because one demonic spirit can open the door for other demonic spirits so that you won't be able to stand up against the devil, who is looking to destroy you. We read in (Mat.12:43) But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. (44) Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (45) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. The devil's seducing spirits are “double agents.” They talk in your mind as if they are your friend and as if they belong to you, but whatever is speaking in your mind that's contrary to the Word of God is a stronghold of the enemy by which he can conquer you. You have the authority to cast it out. Get rid of it! Father, continue to grant us repentance as You bring to our attention where we have read or listened to things that are not according to Your Word and accepted those things we might have once believed as true that were not. Lord, help us to search our hearts and minds for any past church doctrines or religious beliefs that are not true. We only want what is True to be what we base our faith in. Father, help us to discern and destroy the strongholds we may have and get rid of them! Amen. Thank You Lord! The Bible says in (Rev.9:1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth (That's speaking of Satan.): and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. (2) And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (3) And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. (4) And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. (5) And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man. As we've learned, the tormenting spirits are scorpion spirits. In the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant in Matthew 18:23-35, the Lord says that He will turn you over to the tormentors until you should pay what is due (Matthew 18:34), and those tormentors are these scorpion spirits. Nobody is ever going to see with their physical eyes the creatures described here from the bottomless pit, because they're coming to the second heaven. It's like the angel here in (Rev.14:6) And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven (The Greek word means “middle heaven.”), having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people; (7) and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. “Middle heaven” means the angel is in the second heaven. That means you don't see him, although the angel is right here with us in the devil's kingdom and he's preaching the Gospel. We can see what's in the first heaven, but the second heaven is a different realm, a “twilight zone,” if you will. And so this scorpion spirit of Revelation 9 has been given five months to torment those people who don't have the seal of God on their foreheads, but they are not able to see this spirit that came out of the bottomless pit. Satan has authority to loose these angels that the Bible says were held for the end of time, for a time and a season when God was going to judge the earth. (Rev.9:1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.) (Rev.13-15) And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, (14) one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates. (15) And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men.) Satan was given authority to loose them when he was cast out of heaven, and that's what is happening here. The Bible says, (Rev.14:11) And the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. As we read, both smoke and torment are also mentioned in Revelation 9. Out of the smoke came tormenting spirits that were like locusts and like scorpions, and we've seen that these are demons with the authority to penetrate and to put to flight. Other demons are mentioned often in the Scriptures. For instance, (Rev.16:13) And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: (14) for they are spirits of demons… People who have a gift of discerning of spirits have seen frogs in the spirit realm, and those frogs were evil spirits, just as the scorpion spirits are evil. You know, the devil always sends his “big guns” after you when you get into a deep trial, a heavy trial that will have a really terrible outcome if you lose it. The Bible says in (1Jn.4:18KJV) … Fear hath torment… During a battle or a trial, you may have suddenly felt a spirit of fear just come down on you. That's another one of the devil's “big guns,” and if you listen to it, if you give in to it, you are going to run from the devil. Now we are commanded in Ephesians 6 what we should do! (Eph.6:11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. (13) Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  We should put up a shield of faith to quench those “fiery darts” of the wicked one. What does a fiery dart do? Just like the tail of the scorpion, it's made to penetrate and put to flight. It's made to conquer you, but with the shield of faith, you can quench rejection, fear, depression, anxiety, condemnation, or any other of these fiery darts, which are tormenting spirits that come against you, because they can only come against you if your mind isn't right. But if you have faith in your mind, how is it possible for fear to come into you? If you have faith in your heart, how is it possible for depression, or anxiety, or any of these other spirits that seek to take hold of you, to conquer you? Remember what the Scripture says about you. (Rom.6:11) Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. Don't ever think that whatever the spirit may be that's coming against you, is you. When these kinds of deceiving spirits speak into your mind, that's when you have to use the armor and put up your shield of faith. Don't accept those thoughts as yours. They're not coming from you, and they don't belong to you. There's a doctrine in the apostate church about the “holiness” of oppression, the “holiness” of sickness. They want you to believe that this martyr's syndrome is good for you, but you know if God promised you an “egg,” He's not going to give you a “serpent.” (Luk.11:11) And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? (12) Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? The serpent and scorpion represent doctrines of death, but an egg represents life. What some churches have is actually a doctrine of death because they think that God is going to send them a “scorpion” or some other curse. And as for sickness, they think they are going to have to put up with it but Jesus and the apostles didn't. They claim that Paul's “thorn in the flesh” was sickness, but it never was, and Paul even said it wasn't sickness. (2Co.12:7) And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch. I am not stating that there was a demon inside of Paul, but an angel of Satan was humbling him. The word “messenger” in the Scriptures, 181 of 183 times, is translated as “angel,” so an angel of Satan was sent to buffet him, and the word “buffet” means “to beat or strike repeatedly.” Paul was not talking here about an infirmity or sickness; only the KJV says that Paul's “thorn in the flesh” was an “infirmity.” No Bible derived from the ancient manuscripts has this translation because that's not the word “infirmity”; it is the word “weakness.” Scripture says that Christ was crucified through weakness. (2Co.13:3) Seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to youward is not weak, but is powerful in you: (4) for he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. This same Greek word asthenes translated as “weakness” in 2 Corinthians 13:3 by the King James, is what the King James in 2 Corinthians 12:9 claims is “infirmity.” Paul did not have an infirmity. The Bible says, (Psa.103:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: (3) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases. God is not going to turn around and say, “No, Paul, you keep this disease. It's good for you.” This is not our God. Those churches claim that it was sickness in order to make a person who is going through sickness and suffering feel righteous, but most of the suffering that God's people go through is because they don't believe the Word. God promises an egg while the devil wants us to settle for a scorpion, and it's sadly true that for most people, what's ruling their life is a scorpion. If you listen to rejection, anxiety, fear, or guilt, you are being ruled by the devil. If you listen to shame or unbelief, you are being ruled by the devil. (Rom.6:16) Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? You can't listen to what God says and listen to what the devil says at the same time. (1Co.10:21) Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. You can't partake of the Lord's Table and the table of demons at the same time because everything demons will feed you is contrary to the Word of God. God promised us in (Exo.23:27) I will send my terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. (28) I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. A hornet is like a scorpion, because it also penetrates and puts to flight. It's a little bitty thing, but it can move a great big man. So you see, God can make our enemies fear us, and they do fear us if we know our authority.  If we know what the Word of God says and we step out and swing that Word of God like a sword (Ephesians 6:17), they fear us. Our daughter had a dream once about five chickens that represented five evil spirits that were bothering my mother. Well, those chickens were “chicken,” because just as soon as we gave them the Word, they ran. Evil spirits do fear us, but they recognize whether or not we know the Word of God. And they know whether or not we're standing on the Word of God, but they'll try to bluff us as long as they can. The devil wants us to fear him, and he is constantly trying to make us fear the “fiery darts” of the curse that he administers. But we know the Word of God says we've been delivered from all that. (Col.1:13) Who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; (14) in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins. And the Bible tells us who we are in Christ. (Rom.6:11) Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. (18) And being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. Now that's a sword. That Word is a sword for you to use against the devil's lies. The devil wants you to act on what he says, but the Lord wants you to know who you are in Christ and act on what He says about you. If you don't act on what the Lord says, you don't get anything, because (Jas.2:17) Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. The devil's kingdom operates the same way. He can come by and put a little thought in your mind, but if you don't accept or act on it, if you don't chew or meditate on it, you are not guilty. The devil can put these little thoughts in your mind but you can reject them, and if he gets a little stronger, you can get a little stronger. You can speak up and just rebuke him! You can throw the Word of God into his face as Jesus did! Our faith and understanding of what Jesus did for us make us free from being fearful of any weapon the devil has.  Remember, we read that Christ took away the devil's “whole armor” (Luke 11:22). He took away all of his power (Matthew 28:18). He delivered us out of the power of darkness (Colossians 1:13). All of this is our shield, and you need to use this knowledge. You don't fear the devil when you know who you are and that you don't have to give in to him. However, many people do give in to the devil; they give in to the spirits he sends against them, because they don't believe they have any other choice. Well, there's a reason that the Gospel is called the “Good News.” We do have another choice; we have authority over the devil. He has to move when we say, “Move!” If we step out and exercise that authority over him, he has to move. Thank you Father! As we've seen, the word skorpizo, refers to scorpion spirits, and the devil comes to scatter. Jesus said in (Joh.16:32) Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered (That's the word, skorpizo.), every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. Fear scattered the disciples when the men came for Jesus in the garden (Matthew 26:50-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47- 53; John 18:1-14). They were afraid the same thing was going to happen to them, but we know that (Joh.3:27) A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven. The devil sent a spirit there to put fear in them so they would just abandon Jesus in his affliction. To be perfectly just, He had already told them that this is what He came for, so what could they do? The devil also comes to divide. There's another word used in the Scriptures, which is diaskorpizo, and it means “to scatter and separate.” A good example of that is, (Joh.11:52) And not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad. That means not only are they scattered from their land, but they are separated from each other, and the devil did it through those scorpion spirits. They divided, they separated, and scattered the Body of Christ, just as God warned us through the apostle Paul. He said in (Act.20:29) I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock; (30) and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. All of God's people are supposed to be coming out of the bondage they're in and back to this one land. Do you know what that means? It means that we are supposed to be one. Jesus said, (Joh.10:16) And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd. This is what the Tribulation is going to do. God's people are going to become one Flock with One Shepherd, but for now they are diaskorpizo, they are “scattered abroad,” separated. They wanted to hang out at Jerusalem and have Church but the persecution scattered them to spread the gospel. Scorpion spirits separate the Body, separate the Flock, and they do this with false doctrine, false understanding, and false thinking. I've heard people say about our teachings, “Well, aren't you doing the same thing?” No, and when you look around us, you see people from all different backgrounds here. We all get along very well. We want the Flock to be one, but there is only one way the Flock is going to be one, and that's to give up sectarianism, because sectarianism is a work of the flesh. Let's read that in (Gal.5:19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties (The three Greek words there mean “contentions,” “dissentions,” and “sects.”), (21) envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Demon spirits come in to make you believe the lie that you are something great, or that you have everything you need without the rest of the Body, but the Bible tells us in (1Co.12:13) For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. The Body needs to be one, because the Body has different parts of God's knowledge and different parts of God's gifts. When all are put together, the Body is edified, it's “built up.” (Eph.4:15) But speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ; (16) from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love. God wants His Flock to be one, and we want His Flock to be one, but the devil is warring against this unity. The devil knows that when God's Flock is one, it's going to be a powerhouse, and so we want to learn not to be separate from our brethren. We want to know what it is that has deceived our brethren to make them separate from us. Babel always seeks to be one but their motives were evil and God scattered them, most likely with scorpion spirits.. The mind-deceiving serpent spirits deceive different members of the Body in different ways to keep them from knowing the truth. Since the head wags the tail, the rest of that body, whether it's one person or a group of many people, is going to follow whichever way the head leads. That's the job of the serpent spirits, but other demon spirits do the same thing. They sow their seeds of fear, doubt, unbelief, anger, lust, and so on, and if you receive their seed, your flesh will take on their nature. Your flesh will take on the nature of these demonic “gods” of the lusts of the flesh. Now Jesus sows a Seed, too, and if we believe and act on and live on it, we take on His Nature. The Spirit of Christ is come in order to sow His Seed in our hearts so that our hearts take on His Image. What's an “image”? Well, it's an imagination. The Bible says, (Rom.1:21) Because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings… In other words, they “became vain in their imaginations.” So, what is a “vain” imagination? The Scriptural word for “vain” is mataioo, and it means “aimless, foolish, futile, without purpose.” A “vain” imagination is not doing what it's supposed to do; it's not working for God anymore. Your imagination was created to do something for you on this earth for God. If it's not fulfilling that purpose, then it's fulfilling another one, and it is vain. (Rom.1:21) Because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. If you become vain in your imagination, if you have the kind of imagination that, for instance, brought the Flood (Gen.6:5-7) And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (6) And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (7) And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.), then your senseless heart is being darkened, because those imaginations are evil; know that the gods of the lusts of the flesh are taking advantage of you through this ground that they've gained in you. We need to be (2Co.10:5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. This is talking about re-taking the ground, these high places, that those spirits have taken from us. Anywhere you are being ruled by any lust, there's a demon around. He doesn't necessarily have to be on the inside; he might be on the outside, but he's still there. You can rebuke him, and when you rebuke him, he has to leave. If you know who you are in Christ, if you know the authority you have in Christ, and if you repent and believe it, when you rebuke the demon, he has to leave.  So whatever problem you may have or situation you may currently be dealing with, you don't have to keep it. You don't have to be ruled by it any longer. You can take the authority you have in the Name of Jesus, and it has to leave. Any stronghold in your thoughts, or evil imaginations that the devil has used against you, you bring them into the obedience of Christ and cast them all away. Amen. Now, I want to remind you that the most important thing is to submit yourselves unto God. (Jas.4:7) Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. We do this by repenting and believing what the Word says about us. “Resist the devil, and he will flee” is a promise to us from the Word of God. If we submit to God and resist the devil, he has to flee, but the devil's not going to tell us that. He's going to try to convince us that he doesn't have to leave. He's going to try to convince you that you're in bondage to this lust. No, we're not in bondage to this lust. We've been set free from that bondage because Jesus bound the strong man and then He plundered him. Jesus crippled the devil.  In the animal kingdom, when the mothers want to teach the babies how to hunt, the predator mother cripples the prey first. It may be a bird or a rabbit, and she sends the cub after it. She's teaching that cub how to be a predator. We need to understand that's what our Lord did for us. He went and crippled the devil. And not only that, He also took away his armor. Our Lord made it possible for us “little cubs” to run out there and jump on that old, mean devil. We can see a parable from God when we look at the animal kingdom. So now the devil is crippled, he has no armor and he's defenseless before us, but we have to know it and we have to believe it. We have to speak the Word of God; we have to swing the Sword!  Now I'd like to share with you the following testimonies:   God's Word Gave Faith for Deliverance From Ten Afflictions - Anonymous Wonderful things have taken place in our lives since reading “Sovereign God, For Us and Through Us.” We have been delivered of Asperger Syndrome (autism), bipolar disorder, asthma, sinus infections, food allergies, acid reflux, esophagitis, lacking a thyroid, broken toes, and smoking, over less than a five-month period through faith in the Word. My oldest son, at eleven years old, has been healed of Asperger Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism, and bipolar disorder. Since my faith was awakened, I took courage in the promises of God and took him off of all his medication, which amounted to seven pills a day. He had been taking pills for five years to control behavioral problems. We were able to finish the school year with minimal problems, he had absolutely no withdrawal symptoms. By faith I called the school to tell them we were taking him off of all his meds because we had prayed and believed that God had healed him. It was a great opportunity for his teachers to see a miracle. Since then, we have had trials of our faith. The symptoms tried to come back. But I had already been through “hell on earth” from this demonic activity that we had earlier mistaken for mental illness. There was no way I was going to accept it back, once I knew the truth! The medications that he had been taking made him a zombie! They took away his personality and stunted his growth. Now he is happy, with an animated personality. He is able to eat and has gone through a big growth spurt! My middle son, aged five years, was healed from severe asthma! He was taking two inhalers twice a day, Singular pills, and Nasonex nasal spray for chronic sinus infections. In addition, he had to have nebulizer treatments. He has not had to take any of it since we stood on faith for his healing! We have had trials of our faith for him also. Twice it tried to come back, but I rejected it and cast it out again. He runs around and jumps on the trampoline and doesn't have problems breathing or being out of breath or with chronic sinus infections anymore! My youngest son, at age three years, has been healed from food allergies and severe acid reflux. He had been allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts. Every time he would eat these foods he would have constant reflux and esophagitis so bad that he would almost lose his voice and would wake up crying all night. We stood on faith for this also. He has not had any problems with reflux or allergies to foods since. Again, when we were tested on this, we stood firm on God's promises. The symptoms left very quickly. My husband was healed from severe acid reflux disease and has not had to take Nexium for four months now! He can eat whatever he wants without any trouble. My son had also recently broken two toes on his right foot, so we prayed over them. They were completely healed within two days! He is able to fully bend them and move them now. He had injured the same foot years ago by dropping a weight on it and had not been able to bend those toes for years. But since God healed them, he has regained the motion in his toes on that foot!  God delivered me from smoking, too. The thing that seemed like such a mountain to me just six months ago is just a side thought now. I had tried to quit smoking once, but had done it with more of a white-knuckle approach. I mostly went about it through my own willpower. Satan would tempt me often to start again. I would be jealous when I saw others smoking because I still wasn't depending on God for strength. I needed my crutch back. I started smoking again. Later while reading Sovereign God, I knew I needed to forsake this idol for good. This time I prayed to God to take the desire away for smoking. If any part of my deliverance came from my flesh, it would be another struggle, and possible failure again. After I prayed to God to deliver me, I knew instantly that I was delivered. I still had some cigarettes that I finished up, but I realized that the desire to smoke had left me. When the last one was gone, I knew I would never again want another. (Note: It might have been better to throw that partial pack away, but, thank You, Lord, for my deliverance.) It has been that way ever since – like I've never smoked a cigarette in my life! Praise God!  These deliverances all happened simultaneously once I realized what Christ really did at the Cross. He still offers the same healing today that He did during His ministry on earth!  I have received a tremendous miracle. Ten years ago, I had my thyroid removed because of a cancerous tumor that had been growing in it. Since then I had taken total replacement hormone for my body systems to function. If I missed more than two or three days in a row of taking it, I would not be able to hear my alarm to wake up in the morning or to think clearly that day.  The doctors had told me that I could not live without this replacement hormone – the body cannot function without it indefinitely. All the body systems would shut down and I would eventually slip into a coma and die. About a year ago the doctors kept having to retake my thyroid blood levels and adjust my prescription dosage down. Every six weeks, when I would go in to have the blood level drawn again, it would still be too high! Because I didn't understand what was happening at the time, I was becoming frustrated at the lab and the doctor. After I read “Sovereign God,” I realized that God had been growing my thyroid back all this time in preparation for the coming wilderness time ahead! I reached up to my neck and felt around the scar. Sure enough, there was something there again!   I had wondered about this situation in a wilderness-type environment, with no access to meds or health care. Now I don't have to be concerned about it anymore because I have received a tremendous miracle. I have been off my thyroid replacement meds for three months now. I feel more energy now than while taking it. God is good! He truly will meet all our needs even before we ask or before we have come to fully know the truth! God has wonderful things for me to serve Him with in the near future. I won't leave this earth until He is finished with me. Thank You, Father, for Your gifts! Another testimony:   Set Free from Unforgiveness by A.L. I had unforgiveness in my heart toward someone. The Lord said it was time to be delivered, and He started working with me. This took about one year. It was rough at first. The enemy didn't want to leave, trying several times to keep me from forgiving. I put up a wall when this person was around. It was my way to keep from being hurt anymore. Some encounters were better than others, but the more I prayed, the better they got. Oftentimes, my memory would be flooded with all the hurtful things that I had buried inside. But I would cry out to the Lord and ask Him to forgive me for holding onto them and to please take them. He always did. There were times that I would be mad or aggravated with this person and would start ranting about what they had done. These rantings, the out-loud ones, were always to my mom. The rantings in my mind were to the Lord. He would always settle me down and take that memory so that it would be gone. My mom would very gently and lovingly look at me and tell me to let it go and remind me that I had to forgive this person. Most of the time it worked, but a few times I would fire back at her out of frustration and tell her, “I know. I'm working on it, but it doesn't go away overnight.” My mom prayed for me a lot, probably more than I realized.  During this time, the Lord had me listen to the audio of “The Curse of Unforgiveness” series. [This is also in book form and available at no charge from ubm1.org as a PDF.] I downloaded it to my iPod and would go for a walk and listen to it. I listened to it several times. The more I prayed and overcame, the more layers the Lord peeled off.  During the winter months, I like to stand or sit in front of the fire to pray. It's always quiet and peaceful. One night, the Lord put this person in my mind, so I started to pray. As I was praying, I asked the Lord to forgive me for having unforgiveness, anger, hurt, and bitterness in my heart. I asked Him, “Would You please take it?” As soon as I said those words, I felt it all come out of my chest. It was gone. I can't explain, but the feeling was great! I started praising the Lord with tears streaming down my face. I was free!  The next night I was in my same spot, praying. The Lord brought this person to my mind again, only this time, I had to ask for love. I told the Lord, “I don't love this person. Would You please forgive me and give me love for them?” As soon as I said those words, I felt the love of God go right in through my chest. This feeling is indescribable – a hundred times better than the night before. I stood with tears streaming down my face, praising the Lord for His grace to get me through to the end.  I love this person now and pray for them. I can be around them without it bothering me. There are no more buried memories. The Lord tilled up all of the roots so they could be plucked up and He could plant His Seed. Whenever I am delivered of something, I ask the Lord to fill that spot with something from Him. Thank You, Heavenly Father for Your grace to get me through to the end.  We learn that it is the Father Who turns people over to the tormentors. Scripture consistently tells us God uses demons for chastening (Matthew 18:34). When we want to take away a demon's authority, we need to make sure that the groundwork has been done first so that we have the legal right to take away his authority. We must forgive. Jesus tells a story of a master who had forgiven his servant a great debt, but this servant went out and would not forgive his fellow servant a much smaller debt. Jesus said that His Father would turn that unforgiving servant over to the tormentors until he should pay what was due.  Let's read that parable. (Mat.18:21) Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? (22) Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven. (23) Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants. (24) And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents. (25) But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.  (26) The servant therefore fell down and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. (27) And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. (28) But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. (29) So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. (30) And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.  (31) So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. (32) Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: (33) shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? (34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. (35) So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. The Lord said He will turn you over to the tormentors until you pay for what you have done because if you don't forgive, you are not forgiven. The devil knows when he has this right. He knows when you are not forgiven and he torments you, and his demons will continue to torment you, until you take that right away from him. This is necessary because you can't be saved while you are holding on to unforgiveness. If you don't forgive, you are not forgiven, which is the very foundation of salvation. If you want to take away the demons' rights over you, you need to forgive and you need to believe that Jesus delivered you from them at the Cross. That's the key. (Col.1:13) Who delivered us (it has already been done) out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love.  Like this person's testimony, if you will be sure to forgive everyone and exercise your faith toward God's promises, you will be a new person who is free to love and to associate with good people. I say that because so many of these people don't feel comfortable around good people and don't associate with good people. When they're around good people, they feel convicted. In my experience most demonic torment and much sickness is based in unforgiveness. See - The Curse of Unforgiveness

Moçambique assinala neste 25 de Junho de 2025, os 50 anos da sua independência. Por esta ocasião, a RFI propõe-vos um percurso pela história do país e a sua luta pela liberdade. No segundo episódio desta digressão, evocamos as circunstâncias em que se deu a ocupação efectiva de todo o território que viria a ser Moçambique. Após séculos de ocupação muito relativa de Moçambique, os portugueses, mais concentrados até agora no comércio de matérias-primas e de mão-de-obra escrava -apesar da abolição da prática no decurso da primeira metade do século XIX- enfrentam a concorrência cada vez mais feroz de outras potências coloniais, em particular da Grã-Bretanha. No âmbito da conferência de Berlim de 1884-1885 em que os regimes coloniais europeus repartiram entre eles os territórios africanos, Portugal apresentou o que ficou conhecido como o “Mapa cor-de-rosa”, um projecto estabelecendo novas fronteiras para o império africano português e em que Angola ficava ligada a Moçambique. Só que a coroa britânica tinha a ambição de ligar por via-férrea a África do Sul ao Egipto. A Rainha Vitória lançou então um ultimato a Portugal em 1890, recorda o académico moçambicano Luís Covane. “Portugal queria, por exemplo, ter uma colónia em África. Como Angola e Moçambique apareciam ligados e era chamado para o “mapa cor-de-rosa”, que não foi negociado nem com os franceses nem com os ingleses, e deu logo com um projecto britânico de construir uma linha férrea que ligaria o Cabo ao Cairo, em território britânico. Esse era um projecto também alimentado por sacerdotes e isso resultou num ultimato muito agressivo contra Portugal”, conta o historiador referindo que “Portugal teve que se encolher e abandonar as terras que reclamava como suas.” Na ânsia de evitar os crescentes apetites dos restantes impérios sobre os territórios que controlava, Portugal adopta uma política de conquista e ocupação efectiva de Moçambique, não sem enfrentar resistência. O caso mais emblemático será o do imperador de Gaza, Ngungunhane, que tentou lutar contra a ocupação portuguesa mas acabou por ser capturado em 1895 pelo oficial Mouzinho de Albuquerque, sendo em seguida levado para Lisboa onde foi exibido perante a multidão, antes de ser deportado para os Açores onde faleceu em 1906. “Ngungunhane é neto daquele que construiu o Império de Gaza, que veio da Zululândia, parte da África do Sul, nas primeiras décadas do século XIX. Invadiram o território. Encontraram um território sem grandes unidades políticas, pequenos reinos, pequenas unidades políticas. E eles eram guerreiros.”, recorda Luís Covane. “Quando se realiza a Conferência de Berlim e a pressões sobre Gaza, os protugueses avaliaram Gaza. Era um grande império, com uma força militar tremenda e Portugal sentia-se inferior. Quis assinar um tratado de vassalagem. Dizer que ‘vocês fazem parte de Portugal'. (...) A coisa não correu lá muito bem e esse fracasso cimentou nas lideranças militares e civis portuguesas que era necessário ir para o conflito armado. E Mouzinho de Albuquerque é aquele que comandou as forças portuguesas para a conquista de Gaza. E quando ele vai para onde ele (Ngungunhana) estava baseado (...) ele levou a tropa portuguesa para o combate. A sorte dele é que, de facto, a povoação estava desguarnecida. Até o chefe do exército não estava lá e não teve como enfrentar aquela força. Foi assim que Ngungunhane é preso em Chaimite por Mouzinho de Albuquerque que foi celebrado como um combatente muito valente”, recorda o universitário. Dez anos após a independência de Moçambique, o executivo português restituiu os restos mortais de Ngungunhane ao seu país, a pedido de Samora Machel que o apresentou como um herói. Esta não deixa contudo de ser uma figura controversa, dado o rasto de crueldade que marcou o seu reinado, com refere outro estudioso, Egidio Vaz, também parlamentar da Frelimo no poder. “Depois de o Presidente Samora Machel reclamar a suas ossadas, vieram para Moçambique. E depois há uma história muito interessante que aconteceu em Gaza, onde alegadamente se ergueu um busto em sua memória. Porque ele é controverso, no seu último bastião, as pessoas tinham percepções diferentes das oficiais. Então as pessoas usavam o busto de Gungunhana para sacudir enxadas ou afiar catanas quando fossem às machambas. O que significa, por outras palavras, que existe uma percepção diferente de um sanguinário, de um Ngungunhana déspota, de um Ngungunhana que se impôs pela força. Ora, a historiografia moçambicana começa com, diríamos nós, um embuste. Das duas uma, ou Ngungunhana é importante por ter sido capturado pelos portugueses e desterrado para os Açores, onde cuidaram dele até à sua morte. Ou, eventualmente, todos temos uma percepção um pouco mais diferente. Mas qual era o desafio dos historiadores de então, quando se estava a criar uma Nação? Porque este Moçambique é um Estado com várias nações lá dentro, mas que depois, com um objectivo eventualmente de representação e simbolismo”, optou-se por apresentar Ngungunhane como um herói, diz Egidio Vaz que vê na celebração dos 50 anos da independência de Moçambique um oportunidade para “olhar a história de forma crítica”. Entretanto, nos primórdios do século XX, apesar de a escravatura já não existir oficialmente, o trabalho forçado torna-se prática corrente, refere Luís Covane. “Com essa incapacidade de fazer investimentos em áreas de produção mais avançadas, vai-se olhar para o homem como única máquina que pode ser usada. (...) E foi assim criar-se um imposto que tem de ser pago em dinheiro. E o dinheiro só pode ser ganho numa plantação, porque o trabalho é importante, mas a pessoa só vai trabalhar voluntariamente quando é capaz de resolver problemas. Mas o Estado colonial foi capaz de criar problemas que só podiam ser resolvidos com dinheiro. Criar problemas para indígenas, dizer que ‘você tem que pagar imposto em dinheiro'”, explica o historiador ao referir que “o objectivo é de facto colectar o imposto para assegurar mão-de-obra nas plantações dos colonos portugueses que não tinham capacidade de pagar salários. E depois há outra forma que é a introdução de culturas forçadas. Por exemplo, o algodão. As pessoas não comem algodão. E o benefício imediato do algodão, também não o conseguem ver. A indústria têxtil portuguesa precisava de algodão em quantidades cada vez mais crescentes para produzir têxteis a um preço altamente competitivo. Conseguir mão-de-obra, conseguir matéria prima das colónias muito abaixo do mercado internacional para produzir os textéis e vender nas colónias a preços muito acima dos preços praticados. Foi essa lógica”, diz Luis Covane ao referir que a situação torna-se a tal ponto insustentavel que por altura dos anos 60, evita-se ao maximo o convivio entre comunidades em Moçambique. O facto é que a chegada de Salazar ao poder em 1933 em Portugal vem acrescentar o fascismo ao colonialismo, Moçambique vivendo num regime instituindo os privilégios dos colonos face aos assimilados e aos indígenas, recorda o estudioso moçambicano Calton Cadeado. “Do lado do colonizador em relação ao colonizado, por exemplo, havia histórias que se contam sobre a forma como agente colonial não permitia que os moçambicanos negros nativos tivessem acesso a educação, que fosse uma educação de progresso. Havia limitações no acesso à educação para os negros e o limite máximo que alguém podia ir à escola em termos de educação, por vezes não passava da quarta classe e se passasse da quarta classe, era um privilegiado. Há muita gente que nem sequer teve possibilidade de chegar a esta quarta classe porque não era de acesso universal à educação. Essa é uma das formas que as pessoas retratam a violência. Negaram o direito ao conhecimento. Mas, mais do que isso, era também a forma como a polícia, a forma como os serviços de segurança, na altura a PIDE, depois a DGS, perseguia, torturava todos aqueles que tivessem opinião diferente ou ousassem questionar seja o que fosse ligado a aspectos políticos aqui em Moçambique”, refere o estudioso. Num contexto em que lá fora, no resto do mundo, antigas colónias acediam à liberdade, Portugal mantinha com mão de ferro um sistema em que eram muito poucos aqueles que tinham acesso à educação, a empregos assim como à saúde, recorda Helder Martins, ministro da Saúde do primeiro governo de Moçambique independente. “A época colonial, era uma quase escravatura, uma escravatura disfarçada porque, primeiro, às populações, não lhes eram reconhecidos direitos cívicos nenhuns. Havia uma distinção entre os chamados ‘indígenas' e os ‘cidadãos' e, teoricamente, a missão de Portugal, dita civilizadora, entre aspas, consistia no processo de assimilação. Mas em 500 anos de colonialismo, os assimilados foram só 1% da população. Portanto, isto diz tudo. Segundo, havia trabalho forçado, havia por legislação, porque partia-se do princípio que o indígena era preguiçoso e que, portanto, era preciso obrigá-lo a trabalhar e todas as outras coisas, a discriminação racial, etc. Agora na área da saúde, a saúde colonial era do mais incrível que se pode imaginar. Não só era altamente discriminatória, como era discriminação racial descarada, discriminação socioeconómica e discriminação geográfica. Porque a população que vivia nas zonas rurais, naquela altura, 90% da população vivia nas zonas rurais, praticamente não havia infraestruturas de saúde nenhuma. As infraestruturas de saúde estavam nas principais cidades onde viviam os colonos e nas zonas rurais só havia uma delegacia de saúde onde houvesse cinco brancos funcionários públicos. A população não interessava em termos de planificação de saúde. Em qualquer livro de planificação de saúde fica claro que o critério que deve presidir à planificação de saúde é a população. Mas isso nunca foi no tempo colonial. Por outro lado, do ponto de vista técnico, era um sistema anacrónico, atrasado. Bom, Portugal naquela altura era um país atrasado sobre todos os pontos de vista e sob o ponto de vista tecnológico também. E na área da saúde também era. (...) O pouco que havia era os programas de combate às grandes endemias. Mas mesmo isso era anacrónico na sua organização, porque havia diversos programas. O da malária e da tuberculose, ou da lepra, ou da tripanossomíase. Os directores desses serviços dependiam directamente do governador-geral e não do director dos serviços de saúde. Então, não havia coordenação nenhuma. Quer dizer, isto era completamente anacrónico”, conta o antigo governante. Podem ouvir os nossos entrevistados na íntegra aqui:    

Psalm 145A Psalm of Praise, of David- This is the only Psalm designated as a psalm of praise. “Here begins the grand doxology of the entire collection., for praise plays a greater part in Psalms 145-150 than in most of the others. The word ‘praise' occurs 46 times in these six psalms” BK, 895.“The Hebrew tehilah yields in rabbinic Hebrew the plural tehilim, which is set title in Hebrew for the Book of Psalms. Although psalms of supplication are actually more numerous in the canonical collection, the assumption of post-biblical Jewish was that purpose par excellence of the poetry of psalms was to praise God. This assumption accords with the view of the ancient editors, for the last six psalms, beginning with this one, are all psalms of praise” Alter, 500.This is “the last psalm of David in the Psalter and the last of the eight acrostics found there, of which no less than five bear his name” Kidner, 480. It is the fourth acrostic in Book Five. Three other acrostics appear in Book 1 (Pss. 25 34, 37)- NICOT, 990. All ( כל) is used in Psalm 145 in vss. 2, 9, 9, 10, 13, 13, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 20, 20, 21. This expresses an exuberant ring- Laymen's , 699.The psalm “alternates between ‘you' sections, addressing Yahweh directly, and ‘He' sections, referring to Him in the third person” Broyles, 504. You is found in vss. 1-2, 4-7, 10-12 and He in vss. 3, 8-9, 13b, 14, 17-18, 19-20)The Talmud stresses the value of repeating this prayer, the Tehillah of David- Berekot, 4b. “In Jewish practice this psalm was recited twice in the morning and once in the evening service. The Talmud commends all who repeat it three times a day as having a share in the world to come” VanGemeren, 860. “Psalm 145 appears in the Jewish prayer book more than any other psalm in the Psalter. The Dead Sea Psalm scroll in 11QPs contains a version of Psalm 145 in which the refrain, ‘Blessed is the LORD and blessed is His name forever and ever,' is included after each verse, suggesting some sort of liturgical use.

Num cenário que combina o envelhecimento acelerado da população brasileira, as transformações no mercado de trabalho e as preferências da Geração Z em busca de mais flexibilidade e qualidade de vida, o Brasil pode ser obrigado a discutir uma nova reforma da Previdência antes do esperado. Com menos trabalhadores contribuindo para o sistema atual, há menos recursos para pagar um número de beneficiários da Previdência Social que deve crescer daqui em diante. Sem mudanças, afirmam os analistas, o risco é de um colapso do modelo atual. Na prática, a conta da Previdência está mais difícil de fechar, e o cenário não é favorável para os próximos anos. O Brasil adotou um modelo no qual quem está no mercado de trabalho contribui para pagar o benefício de quem já está aposentado. Para entender o atual cenário do sistema previdenciário do Brasil e discutir possíveis saídas, o Dois Pontos conversou com Gabriel Leal de Barros, economista-chefe da ARX Investimentos, e Victor Bernardes, diretor de vida e previdência da SulAmérica. O episódio é apresentado pela colunista do Estadão, Roseann Kennedy, com a participação de Luiz Guilherme Gerbelli, repórter de economia.

Mãe e filha estavam caminhando pela praia. Num certo ponto, a jovem, que estava enfrentando muitos problemas no casamento, perguntou: "Mãe, como se faz para manter um amor?"A mãe olhou para a filha e respondeu: "Pega um pouco de areia e fecha a mão com força..." A jovem assim fez e reparou que, quanto mais forte apertava a areia com a mão, com mais velocidade a areia escapava entre seus dedos. E então disse: "Mamãe, mas assim a areia cai!". A mãe respondeu: "Eu sei, agora abra completamente a mão..."A menina assim fez, mas veio um vento forte e levou consigo a areia que restava na sua mão, ao que ela falou: "Assim também não consigo manter a areia na minha mão!" A mãe, então, concluiu: "Agora pega outra vez um pouco de areia e mantenha na mão semiaberta como se fosse uma colher... bastante fechada para protegê-la e bastante aberta para dar-lhe liberdade". A menina experimenta e vê que a areia não se escapa da mão e está protegida do vento.Esse exercício lhe ajudou a entender: é assim que se faz para durar umRelacionamentos - de todos os tipos - são como areia em suas mãos. Se você carregá-la com a mão em concha, a areia permanece onde ela está. No minuto que você fecha a mão e aperta com força para segurar, a areia escorre por entre os dedos. Você pode se apegar a alguns grãos, mas a maioria se perderá.Com delicadeza, respeito e liberdade é provável que um relacionamentopermaneça intacto, mas se você segura-lo com muita força, muito possessivamente, o relacionamento se esvai, se perde.Praticamente todas as pessoas querem ser felizes no amor, mas muitas pensam que isso é coisa de cinema e que o amor verdadeiro é algo utópico Não é verdade. O amor é antes de tudo uma decisão de fazer o outro feliz e de deixa-lo livre.

Qu'est-ce qui fait qu'un leader inspire vraiment ? Comment incarner ce qu'on demande aux autres dans un monde qui semble parfois avoir perdu ses repères ?Dans cet épisode, je reçois Tessa Melkonian pour en parler. Directrice de la Leadership Academy for New Futures et professeure en Management et Comportement Organisationnel à emlyon business school, Tessa étudie comment la justice et l'exemplarité influencent la coopération des salariés en période de changement, et la performance collective dans des situations extrêmes. Elle est notamment l'auteure de Pourquoi un leader doit être exemplaire, dont je vous recommande la lecture. Il se trouve que Tessa était aussi ma professeure quand j'étais à l'EM Lyon, et une de celles qui m'ont marquée le plus durablement.Une conversation profonde sur ce paradoxe de notre époque : nous avons plus que jamais besoin de leaders exemplaires, mais l'exemplarité demande une énergie que beaucoup n'ont plus. Vous découvrirez pourquoi l'exemplarité n'est pas une posture mais un regard que les autres portent sur nous, comment cultiver ce que Tessa appelle "l'écologie personnelle" pour préserver son attention dans un monde d'interruptions constantes, et pourquoi il faut parfois du panache - cette élégance du courage - pour continuer d'avancer sans savoir si on va y arriver.Dans cet épisode, on parle d'exemplarité, de charge mentale, de récupération, d'alignement — un échange qui traverse le professionnel, le personnel, l'intime, et le collectif.Bonne écoute !

O Gustavo e a Letícia tinham um relacionamento com muito em comum. Compartilhavam um sonho de ajudar as crianças carentes no esporte. Num fim de semana especial, eles viajaram para comemorar 3 anos de casados. Na estrada, um caminhão fez uma ultrapassagem errada. Gustavo tentou desviar e frear, mas não deu tempo. O carro saiu da pista. Ele teve ferimentos leves, mas Letícia sofreu uma lesão grave na coluna e ficou paraplégica. Desde então, ela passou a culpá-lo por tudo, terminou o relacionamento e se afastou. Ele tentou uma reaproximação por muito tempo, mas ela nunca o perdoou. Agora, 2 anos se passaram e ele ainda a ama, mas sente que mesmo viva, ela não consegue superar o acidente.

Num. 16:25–32 Ezek. 13:1–11 Mark 12:18–27 1 Tim. 6:20–21 Scripture paints a challenging picture for our age. It shows that while the Church is a community of people who welcome others into it, it also has boundary lines. One of the boundary lines is the doctrine of the Trinity. In this message, we learn what Scripture says about those who teach false doctrine and highlight a few of the prominent groups and people in Church history who have taught a false doctrine of the Trinity in particular.

PODCAST - Comme la moitié des Français, vous avez peut être pris l'habitude de partager des photos de vos enfants sur les réseaux sociaux ces dernières années. Cette pratique n'est pourtant pas sans risque. Car une fois qu'une image est publiée sur Internet, on en perd le contrôle. Elle peut vite se retrouver entre de mauvaises mains. Et contribuer à alimenter le pire fléau du Web. Dans ce nouvel épisode de "La Règle d'Or Numérique", Benjamin Hue, journaliste RTL, vous explique comment des internautes malveillants détournent des images d'enfants avec l'aide de l'intelligence artificielle pour assouvir des fantasmes pédocriminels et pourquoi il vaut mieux se retenir de publier de telles photos pour ne pas alimenter ce phénomène.

Luke Looks Back Chapter 4 Luke 3:19-4:13 The Preparation of the Messiah: his baptism Luke rather oddly records the imprisonment of John (3: 19, 20) before the baptism of Jesus by John. He does this because only Jesus is really important in the rest of the story. He continues his account of the preparation of Jesus for his ministry with first his baptism and then his temptation. 1) Ice breaker. What was the most memorable part of your baptism (if you were old enough to remember it) or confirmation? 2) Matthew tells us why Jesus was baptised (Matt 3: 15). Luke is only concerned with what happened when he was (v 21 - 23). Which major Christian teachings are important in what happened? Why is it important for us to hear about these before we hear about Jesus starting his ministry? Genealogies were important in those days to show who someone was. Why this one is considerably different from the one that Matthew gives is not clear. Both are carefully structured around (different) multiples of seven. Probably Luke is most interested in his last line: Jesus was the son of God. The main purpose of the three temptations is to teach us things about Jesus. Things like the order of the temptations, different in different Gospels, are not important. We will explore five emphases of the temptations in the following questions: 3) The temptations make clear the nature of Jesus' work as the Son of God. In which verses in this story is Jesus called the Son of God? What sort of Messiah will the people have been expecting from texts like: Gen 49: 10; Num 24: 17 - 19; 1 Sam 21: 11 (an example of how a Davidic king was supposed to be); Ps 2: 6 - 12; Is 11: 1,4,10 - 14; Dan 7: 13, 14, 27; Zec 9: 9 - 17? How do the temptations show that what they were getting was very different from what they expected? Which were fulfilled then and which are still to be fulfilled? 4) Share something of how your own understanding of Jesus has changed during your Christian life as you have learned more about him. 5) The temptations of Jesus are very like some of the great events of Israel's history. Read Ex 16: 2 -4; 17: 1 - 7; 32: 1 - 4; and 1 Cor 10: 1 - 7. Which story in Exodus is like each one of the 3 temptations? What is the fundamental difference between each pair of experiences? 6) The temptations demonstrate the antagonism of Satan to the Kingdom of God. In some churches Satan is never mentioned; some talk too much about him, blaming him for every thing that goes wrong even when it is a very human fault. How would you rate our emphasis on Satan: too much, too little or just right? How does it compare with the emphasis in Luke's story? 7) The temptations emphasise that Jesus' ministry is the fulfilment of scripture. Identify how they do this. This emphasis is particularly important in the end of Luke's Gospel at Lk 24: 32. What do you find the hardest part of reading and learning from scripture? What tips can you give other people to ease the problem? 8) The temptations show Jesus' followers a way to resist temptations. The basic ideas behind the three temptations are 1) using your faith for personal gain; 2) using it to make yourself look good before other people; 3) putting God to the test in practical ways. Look at each temptation and decide whether those are the right descriptions of them. If not, what is? In what ways, often trying to hide their real motives, do people sometimes try to put God to the test? Which of these temptations do you experience most? 9) The devil left Jesus 'until an opportune time' (v 13). When, or under what circumstance, does he get a good opportunity to go after us? What can we do to discourage him? Click or tap here to download as an audio mp3

Wrapping up our series “Connected in Community”, today Pastor Jodi talks about how human connection is a basic need that can be difficult to obtain in our digitally driven culture.

Faut-il interdire les réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans ? C'est le souhait de la secrétaire d'État au Numérique, Clara Chappaz, qui relance le débat sur la protection des mineurs en ligne. Mais malgré les lois déjà en vigueur, l'application concrète de cette interdiction se heurte à d'importants obstacles techniques, juridiques et éthiques.RGPD, majorité numérique, contrôle parental, vérification d'âge par IA ou carte bancaire… rien ne semble vraiment fonctionner. L'ARCOM propose bien la piste du “double anonymat”, mais sa mise en œuvre reste complexe.Les plateformes comme TikTok ou Instagram s'en remettent aux opérateurs ou aux stores pour prendre la responsabilité. Et pendant ce temps, la France tente de faire bouger les lignes au niveau européen, via le DSA. Un feuilleton numérique aux airs de patate chaude.-----------

Será que nossa sociedade está tentando sentir cada vez menos? Neste episódio, eu e Felipe Savietto conversamos sobre a crescente medicalização do sofrimento psíquico e o que ela pode estar dizendo sobre nosso tempo. Vivemos uma era em que o mal-estar parece precisar de um nome — um diagnóstico — e, tão logo ele é nomeado, vem a expectativa de um remédio que silencie o sintoma. Felipe propôs uma imagem potente: estaríamos atravessando um tempo de “harmonização facial das emoções”. Uma época em que se espera que estejamos sempre bem, emocionalmente simétricos, com afetos contidos e esteticamente regulados. Mas o que acontece com a subjetividade quando o ideal é não sofrer, não oscilar, não angustiar? Num mundo em que a informação e a desinformação circulam com a mesma rapidez, cresce a tendência de autodiagnóstico. Os sintomas — muitas vezes expressões legítimas do inconsciente — são rapidamente classificados como transtornos. E, sem espaço para escuta ou elaboração, a resposta imediata passa a ser o apagamento do sentir, por meio da medicação. Não se trata aqui de negar o valor e a importância dos diagnósticos e dos psicofármacos quando bem indicados. A reflexão que propomos é outra: o que revela essa urgência em calar o sintoma?
