Today, God wants to teach the importance of following the instructions that He gives you because following orders you will have a happy life. In Matthew chapter 7 and verse 24 it is said: “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:” In this chapter we see two groups of people, a group are the winners and the other group are the losers. The first report is about the one who built the house on the rock: “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” Matthew 7.25. The second report is about the one who built the house on the sand: “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7.27 We can understand the difference between these two groups, the first built the house on the rock, and in a spiritual way they followed the orders of God. They did everything that the Father instructed, they built their spiritual life only under the voice of God, they didn't look at the surroundings, and they did not follow the advice that their "friends" gave them. Thus, the problem came, but did not hit them. The second group built their house on the sand, through a spiritual vision, they did the opposite of what the Lord commanded, they didn`t have roots at the church, but lived under a shallow way, and looked at all sides, with that, when the uprisings came, it couldn't support it so it was torn down. The Bible still reports the importance of listening to and following the instructions of the Father, “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand” Matthew 7.26

Never question the orders of the Lord, do everything He commands you, my brother because everything He says or does is for our best condition. Deliver everything in the hands of the Father because He will be with you at all times.

Don't try to fight alone, you don't have enough force to make a war, but Jesus Christ wants to do that for you, He wants to give you strength. Call Him to get into your life, tell Him you depend 100% on Him. Listen and obey the voice of the Lord, my dear, follow the instructions that He gives you, and edify your spiritual life on the rock, so that when the problem comes, you don't fall, the other way round, you will become stronger.
