My brothers and my sisters, last Tuesday I spoke at
the Church about the investiture that Jesus gave to his Church to found it second
Mt. 16. Today we'll talk about it later on a different mode. Let's begin our
meditation from the question posed in the title of same. I think many of us we
didn't know we had that guidance of Jesus about the strength of our requests.
The text on the table uses an indefinite pronoun: "some" to say if we
ask anything according to his will he hearth us. First you need to know that
God hears us according to his will. Or be: Our demands will have to be at the
center of the will of God. And that's where we're listeners. In second place is
necessary to be sure that he hears us second what we ask. So we can be safe
that we will be heard. We asked for something. So we are certain that we will
be serviced in order. I believe that Jesus thought about it when he says that
if we pray believing that we've ever had so it will be with us. Nowadays they
call it we take possession of the blessing. And it is even. In the vast
majority of the time we pray, but we weren't sure that we to receive what we
ask. The text urges us to be safe since we know that he (God) hears us. The
verb to know here has a meaning very deep, as it indicates that we are aware of
right, this is insurance anyway. We need be sure to pray, that will be the way
we're asking in prayer to the Lord. Psalm 37 says: "Give your way to the
Lord. Trust him and the more He will do ". Usually we ask, but we don't
trust. So things don't happen. My brother or my sister, if you made a request
to the Lord have confidence because it's really going to happen. However it
should be pointed that will happen
according to the will of God. As have been our prayers? Have been confident? If
they have then stay quiet because we do receive requests that we made to the
Lord. But what really caught my attention in the text was the fact we ask
forgiveness for the sins of others if those sins are not to death.
Because there
are sins to death and for these the text says that we should not pray.
But what would these sins to death? We are in difficulties. The Bible
says that for all types of sins is no forgiveness and that only for the
blasphemy against the Holy Spirit there is no forgiveness. In this case the
sins, because they are plural, for death would be blasphemy against the Holy
Spirit. I did a search on what would be against the Holy Spirit and saw that is
to assign to the Devil an act of God. In other words: it is God who is speaking
or doing and the person says it's the devil. This it would be blasphemy against
the Holy Spirit. In fact the context where Jesus gives that speech is the moment
they are calling him Beelzebub (Boss of evil) according to Judaism. Some people
think it's just the devil. But Beelzebub and evil are the same thing. In English this expression. is Badly or devil.
In Latin malum.
Of course you can be regarded also as devil is the personification of evil. But
let's not make theology and philosophize about this but make it clear what
would this sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Without any doubt is for
that kind of sin that we should not pray. But for other types. That fantastic
thing! A person suffers and you and I can intercede on their behalf and that
person receives forgiveness. Did you know that? That was the reason for my
question in the title of this meditation. Let us think it and ask forgiveness
for each other and above all for the sins of our Church, that are many during
these ninety-seven years old. We can still ask forgiveness for special work
that we see committing sins individually against the Church, against others or
against pastors who passed or pass through here. God will forgive us and change
our luck and we're going to be a great church blessed by God. Amen.
