Espírito
O espírito humano é a parte mais profunda do nosso ser — onde Deus habita, onde a fé se ancora e de onde brota a verdadeira adoração. A Bíblia nos chama a viver pelo Espírito.
A natureza do espírito
O espírito está pronto, mas a carne é fraca. A batalha entre carne e espírito é constante e exige vigilância.
Stay awake and pray that you won’t be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak."
God blesses those people
who depend only on him.
They belong to the kingdom
of heaven!
The Spirit and your desires are enemies of each other. They are always fighting each other and keeping you from doing what you feel you should.
If you are guided by the Spirit, you won’t obey your selfish desires.
God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.
God’s Spirit has given us life, and so we should follow the Spirit.
If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the Spirit, we will have life and peace.
O Espírito de Deus em nós
Vosso corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. Deus fortalece com poder no homem interior pelo seu Espírito.
You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.
But anyone who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit with him.
You are the only one who knows what is in your own mind, and God’s Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God’s mind.
Then what should I do? There are times when I should pray with my spirit, and times when I should pray with my mind. Sometimes I should sing with my spirit, and at other times I should sing with my mind.
God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers and that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. Stand firm and be deeply rooted in his love.
I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you his Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God.
God’s Spirit doesn’t make us slaves who are afraid of him. Instead, we become his children and call him our Father.God’s Spirit makes us sure that we are his children.
God’s Spirit makes us sure that we are his children.
God’s Spirit doesn’t make us slaves who are afraid of him. Instead, we become his children and call him our Father.
But Christ lives in you. So you are alive because God has accepted you, even though your bodies must die because of your sins.
Only those people who are led by God’s Spirit are his children.
In certain ways we are weak, but the Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we don’t know what to pray for, the Spirit prays for us in ways that cannot be put into words.
Never give up. Eagerly follow the Holy Spirit and serve the Lord.
I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. And may the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.
Vida no Espírito
Deus é Espírito e importa que os que o adoram o adorem em espírito e em verdade. O Espírito vivifica e transforma.
God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
But a time is coming, and it is already here! Even now the true worshipers are being led by the Spirit to worship the Father according to the truth. These are the ones the Father is seeking to worship him. God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
So our faces are not covered. They show the bright glory of the Lord, as the Lord’s Spirit makes us more and more like our glorious Lord.
My friends, God has made us these promises. So we should stay away from everything that keeps our bodies and spirits from being clean. We should honor God and try to be completely like him.
God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.
God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.
because I know that your prayers and the help that comes from the Spirit of Christ Jesus will keep me safe.
I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless your life!
Promessas do Espírito
Derramarei o meu Espírito sobre toda a carne. O Espírito revela, guia e capacita os filhos de Deus.
Listen as I correct you
and tell you what I think.
We may think we know
what is right,
but the Lord is the judge
of our motives.
Too much pride
will destroy you.
You are better off
to be humble and poor
than to get rich
from what you take by force.
Controlling your temper
is better than being a hero
who captures a city.
Our inner thoughts are a lamp
from the Lord,
and they search our hearts.
So the angel explained that it was the following message of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
I am the Lord All-Powerful. So don’t depend on your own power or strength, but on my Spirit.
The Spirit of the Lord God
has taken control of me!
The Lord has chosen and sent me
to tell the oppressed
the good news,
to heal the brokenhearted,
and to announce freedom
for prisoners and captives.
Then I will take away your stubbornness and make you eager to be completely faithful to me. You will want to obey me and all my laws and teachings. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
"I, the Lord God, will put breath in you, and once again you will live.
Cuidar do espírito
Cria em mim um coração puro e renova dentro de mim um espírito reto. O espírito quebrantado Deus não rejeita.
Create pure thoughts in me
and make me faithful again.
Don’t chase me away from you
or take your Holy Spirit
away from me.
Make me as happy as you did
when you saved me;
make me want to obey!
The way to please you
is to be truly sorry
deep in our hearts.
This is the kind of sacrifice
you won’t refuse.
The Lord is there to rescue
all
who are discouraged
and have given up hope.
You can’t depend on anyone,
not even a great leader.
Once they die and are buried,
that will be the end
of all their plans.
God’s word is alive and powerful! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts.
Anyone who doesn’t breathe is dead, and faith that doesn’t do anything is just as dead!
Dear friends, don’t believe everyone who claims to have the Spirit of God. Test them all to find out if they really do come from God. Many false prophets have already gone out into the world,
God has given us his Spirit. This is how we know we are one with him, just as he is one with us.
As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks.
Then they saw what looked like fiery tongues moving in all directions, and a tongue came and settled on each person there. The Holy Spirit took control of everyone, and they began speaking whatever languages the Spirit let them speak.
In the beginning God
created the heavens
and the earth.
The earth was barren,
with no form of life;
it was under a roaring ocean
covered with darkness.
But the Spirit of God
was moving over the water.
now I truly realize
wisdom comes from God.
The silver cord snaps,
the golden bowl breaks;
the water pitcher is smashed,
and the pulley at the well
is shattered.
So our bodies return
to the earth,
and the life-giving breath
returns to God.
I am glad to tell about
the wonderful miracles
God Most High
has done for me.
His miracles are mighty
and marvelous.
He will rule forever,
and his kingdom
will never end.
