The Praise and Salvation of Portugal
God's Vision of Latter-day Praise to Lead the Nation to Salvation
When Jesus suffered separation from the Father, at the top of the cross he traced the path, so that the righteous can unite the lost nations to God through praise! Jesus exclaimed in a loud voice saying:
my God, my God, why did you abandon me? (Mat. 27:46).
Quoted the Psalm 22, known as ‘the Psalm of the Cross’. Not Judaism, when a verse of Scripture is quoted, the quote includes the entire context, if this is appropriate. That's why, Jesus refers to the entire Psalm 22, and refers this entire Psalm to Himself, clarifies not only the meaning of His words on the cross, after having accepted the casting of all the sin of humanity upon Him, and the consequent separation from the Father, how it points the way to nations full of sin, like Portugal, and therefore separated from God, can be united to God through praise.
Salmo 22:1,2: The psalmist states that he has been crying out to the Lord day and night, in total despair. Urgently need response, solution, release, salvation in a serious situation, and can't even rest at night. But prayers can't penetrate. The sky is like bronze, and no response comes.
This is the case with the nations in the Last Days: an accumulation of so much abomination, the people lost the fear of God, conscience no longer accuses anything, because sin has become normal: God turned away from the people and the nation, the sky hardened, the cry receives no response, and God's judgment is about to fall. How can we bring salvation to our nation?
Salmo 22:3: "Although, You are Santo, What do you dwell in the midst of praise (Tehillah) of Your people.” Tehillah means: A Holy God dwells among a holy people.
‘Dwell’ here means: to live, sit, remain, get married, sit like a judge who sits to hand down a sentence.
the sacrifices of our lips
God does not join sinners, but to a holy people, feats of priests:
1 Pedro 2:5,9: You too, like living stones, you are built a spiritual house and a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
But you are the chosen generation, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, o povo adquirido, para que anuncieis as virtudes daquele que vos chamou das trevas para a sua maravilhosa luz.
Deus nos encarregou a desempenhar as três funções do sacerdote: o intercessor pela nação, o mediador entre Deus e o povo através de Jesus, e o adorador que traz a Presença de Deus.
O sacerdote tinha que se limpar e purificar, antes de poder exercer as suas funções.
Antes de poder fazer expiação pelos pecados da nação, o sumo sacerdote tinha de oferecer como sacrifício um bezerro (novilho), a oferta maior e mais cara de todas, devido à sua maior responsabilidade e a sua representação de Deus perante o povo.
Oseias 14:2: “Tomai convosco palavras (of regret), e convertei-vos ao Senhor; dizei-Lhe: Perdoa e tira de nós toda iniquidade, Have mercy on us and accept us by Your grace; and we will give, like calves, the sacrifices of our lips.”
If we offer God a calf's praise, not a cheap praise that costs nothing, but an expensive praise, with all our hearts, with all our soul, with all our understanding, and all our strength, assuming our functions as sanctified and purified priests, worshiping God with pure hearts and lips, seriously stepping into the breach for our sinful people, knowing that only then will God be able to forgive and save the nation, Not only will God be able to sit on the Throne of praise built by our praise, How can you live and stay with us?, marry a purified and sanctified people, pure and immaculate like a bride, but he will be able to sit as a judge to pass sentence on our people and our nation, not condemnation, destruction and death, but, sim, a declaration of salvation, deliverance, of peace and blessing!
Our children will also serve the Lord
The Psalm 22 accurately reports the process of salvation arriving to the lost nations:
1º Bronze sky – the unanswered cry – certain destruction.
2º Personal suffering, in relation to the suffering of the Savior Jesus for us, Casting our anxieties and afflictions upon Him.
3º Petition for salvation and deliverance
4º God's Answer Declaration of Faith, without seeing anything yet.
5º The victory achieved by faith gives rise to calf praise, as the cry of a life freed from destruction by the power of God, after great afflictions and intense struggles.
The psalmist David testified to the power of God in his life through praise, and brought the Presence of God to Israel. What God Did to David, He can and wants to help anyone who makes himself available like David to be faithful to God in the midst of very serious problems and certain defeats., to honor God with your faith, and fight the spiritual battle until you win, and after the victory wins, testify to the power of God in front of everyone and praise Him.
6º The praise of the Church: Verse.23 and 24: The testimony of victory won by faith, perseverance in seeking God and praising before seeing victory, and the invitation to the church to join in praise, encourage the church to have faith, and declare your victory before you see it, praising God, and living in holiness and obedience to the Word.
Towards. 26: “My praise will come from You in the great congregation.” How the Father extended Jesus as a bridge of love and sacrifice and we sinners, and we all trample it and trample it to have access to God and be received into the arms of the Father, It is up to us now to extend a bridge of love through praise and worship, from our heart to the heart of God, over the abyss of the nation's sin. Over this bridge, He can join us and manifest His Presence in healings and miracles, signs and wonders.
7º The results of the praise of intercessor worshipers:
Towards. 26: God's Blessings on Believers in the Church, receiving answers and solutions.
Towards. 27: God's salvation and power extend to the nations. Living Bible: “The whole earth will see this and will turn to the Lord; the people of all nations will worship Him.”
Towards. 28,29: The establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth: – The Lord is King
– The submission of the great and proud under His authority and Kingship.
Towards. 30,31: The emergence of children as powerful servants of God: Living Bible:
“Our children will also serve the Lord, for they will hear us tell the wonders of the Lord and His great deeds. The children will arrive and announce the justice of God. To the babies in the womb who have not yet been born, the righteousness of God will be announced.”
