Metropolitan  Bishop Pachomius

The Bible has a great work in human life is God 's message to the world bear the hope of salvation and promised Binoual the kingdom of Heaven . Therefore , we find one of the most important topics of the Bible promises of God to man . He promised to Abraham by the pool and the offspring ( Genesis 15) as promised Isaac and Jacob , many blessings . In the New Testament confirms Saint Paul need faith the deadline and promises to all people everywhere , and the promise is an act of God's grace in our lives.

And St. Peter in his Pentecost sermon confirms that the divine promise includes all the repentant " Because the promise is to you and to your children and to all that after all of the Lord our God shall call " (Acts 2:39 ).

The Lord confirms that promise will be trusted in a timely manner , and that the delay in the promise should not happen in doubt , but must take us thanks because God's kindness and longsuffering unaware into the faith that the Lord is sincere in his promises .

It is the wisdom of the Church that they make us pray prayer Alsoaay the including many of the Psalms are full of divine promises that are commensurate with our daily lives , including promises and pond care and defeated death and joy .

In order to take advantage of the promise put the base to the divine promises :

1 - Learn the promises of the Bible to try to save.

2 - in order to Ahpk Lord bless them .

3 - believed that the Lord will complete his promise you .

4 - worked hard to be given to the Lord the opportunity to complete his promise you .

There is no doubt that the Lord will Asmdk , Aeddk and bless your life and achieve his promises with you in order to rejoice in his work

To Hazh the left you

Isaiah wrote before the coming of Jesus Christ about 800 years , which is a message to the people of captivity , allowing the Lord period of discipline to the people of Israel in Babylon for seventy years and then returned to Jerusalem, but not all of them where he remained other in Babylon, was returning from captivity in three phases:

1 - First Stage: The commander Ezra the scribe who travel Ezra , a travel Brightest uniform.

2 - Phase II: The commander of Nehemiah , who wrote the Book of Nehemiah .

3 - Phase III : The commander of Zerubbabel , who wrote about the priest Zechariah Zechariah .

During her captivity was torn apart other people in captivity and others in the Holy Land , and feel the pain he wrote them Isaiah this message .which is a prophecy about the Holy Church and personal test for each of the sons and daughters of God.

We are in these days feel pain and distress and wonder : Is the Lord left ? ! We read in Chapter 54 of the book of Isaiah will for its size.

( 1 ) " Sing, O barren , which did not give birth Ohida singing thou that travailest not because Brown Almistohach more of Baal Brown said the Lord"

Here assures that Almistohach will give birth to sons over by her hubby and has no children of many.

(2 ) " Ousay place your tent and simplify Apartments thy tabernacles . Not seize on .Otaly Otnapk and Shiddy Otadk "

Expand the tent and stress pickets because children will We frequently. Despite the pressures surrounding them.

( 3 ) " because you Temtdan to the right and to the left and your offspring inherits the nations and popularized cities desolate "

Because birth control becomes much will popularize desolate cities , and this is what happened in the history of the church ... Which came out all the inhabitants of the city of Esna for martyrdom and became a desolate city but became witness to the Lord ... It also came from the city of Damanhur twenty thousand heading to Alexandria for the martyrdom and Damanhur later became a witness to the Lord , when contemplating the in monasteries region now find different from fifty years ago . When others think of how devastating the world find the Lord baptized waste cities . God is at work without being advertised .

( 4 ) " Do not be afraid , because you do not store nor ashamed because you not Tsthin you forget the shame of your youth , and shame Termlk the do not Tzkrene "

Alice disappearance of one of the daughters of God  cause a sense of shame , but this also will find comfort him .

( 5 ) " because Baalk is the Lord of hosts is his name . And وليك the Holy One of Israel . , The God of all the earth is called"

Baalk is maker... Christ of his glory is the maker of the Church and her husband also .. Encouraging words . Like the wife when the pair are going with in the way you feel safe . The Lord of hosts ... Holy One of Israel ... God of all the earth , all the properties announces the true strength of the Lord.

(7 ) " to Hazh the left you and great name "

Expression to " Hazh " is to minimize the moment any less than a second , and because God's time is different from a humans Vlhazh the time in a time of God can be a day or a month or a year for us , but important after Hazh with the Turk will Ojmek great.

God has wisdom in Hazat Turk where to put the evil in the world and God allows the existence of evil in the world, but the book says , " persecuted , but not forsaken struck down but not destroyed " (2 Corinthians 4: 9).

Why allow Lord Turk Belhazat ?

Discipline : as happened in the Babylonian Captivity ... God dealt with the children of Israel with a stick of discipline in order to turn from their wickedness, and after that they remained in captivity seventy years returned to Jerusalem with more power .

· Ishtiaq of the sky : to Turk Hazat make human look to the sky and real comfort and say with Saint Paul , " Li desire to depart and be with Christ that the very best " ( 1:23 ).

In order to rejoice in the sky , which is described by the Apostle Paul " unless Traein is not ear heard , neither have entered the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love him " (1 Corinthians 2: 9).

 In order to go back to ourselves and keep our eternity : Hazat Turk makes us ask the Lord to give us life prepping, and self - review to discern where we are out of the way .

 In order to experience the work of God in our lives :

The miracle of the transfer of the cliffs was there to Hazat the left and cried Pope Abram agriculture , and all the people to God and experienced God 's work with them.

The people of the children of Israel cried out to God in the wilderness for the water gave them water from the rock and also manna The Agueta raid was a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night .

· In order to experience the life of faith :

Tested Ayoub Hazat , where the left has his children and belongings all that he had , after testing the faith the Lord gave him a lot .

God gave to our father Abraham , except Balencl and earth " all the tribes of the land which you see I give to you and to your offspring forever , and make thy seed as the dust of the earth ... " (Genesis 13:15 , 16).

It was not our father Abraham seed in early age but did not find the land flowing with milk and honey, but found starving in the ground and after testing the faith in the Lord gave him birth and the earth too.

· In order to witness to Christ and Evangelism :

The first in the history of the church says, " Those who were scattered Gallois preaching the word " (Acts 8 : 4 ) who were scattered because of the persecution they were the cause of evangelism in the world , the adherence to the faith is a means of evangelism . To Hazh the Turks and a means of evangelization and the glory of our Lord .

· In order to test a life of peace with God in our homes and our work:

Find people complaining about the living conditions , but we feel peace and live our lives with our Lord . In moments Cross more people who felt the peace are those who were close to Christ and stayed under the cross of the Virgin Mary and John the Beloved The rest of the pupils They were fearful despite the fact that Jesus said to them before the Cross " Peace I leave with you my peace I give " (Jn 14:27 ).

· In order to declare the glory of Christ to the whole world :

After Departure of His Holiness Pope Shenouda we feel Belhazh the Turks and many pain but God glorified through the church all this pain and glory of Christ announced to the whole world .

· For Two that we had  in the life of prayer :

In Hazh the Turk pray with each other in prayer meetings , we meet in the Christian family to pray ... Pray for Egypt ... For our brothers and sisters who feel upset ... In order to give the Lord a solution to the economic problems ... For children who disappear in order to keep them Lord .

The Turk Hazat not stand Slpin and say what we do ? But say to the Lord, " I do not divorce you did not bless me " ( Genesis 32 : 26) and we deal with Hazat Turk through the tender mercies of the Lord and contemplate the Lord 's work in the future and realize that it works strongly .

· Make the human being prepared for the responsibility of :

Lived Yosef Hazh , the left and which was considered in order to bear the responsibility of Egypt .

Moses lived to Hazh leaving God was prepared in order to lead the children of Israel in the wilderness.

(8 : 10) " flood of anger I hid my face from you for a moment and truth expressed Erhmk of Lake said the Lord ... the mountains disappear and hills be shaken The charity of the do not go away from you and the reign of phalanx unwavering LORD said Rahmk , "

Difficult to remove a mountain On the other hand , says the Lord The Mrahmy does not go away as نرتل in praise "Seven and four " mercies , O my God too many ... The promise of God ...

This is what happened in the church since the first century and even contemporary to fifth church ten rings persecution and cite the thousands and remained lingering Church and then exposed the Church to the persecution of the West and then survived the East and remained constant .

The result of the tender mercies of the Lord :

(11 ) "O humiliating Turbulent is Almtazih "

Lord directs his words to the people of captivity and to the Church and also for each son and daughter and says:

(11 - 12) " Behold , my son Balothmd your stone rubies blue Oasesk , and Mark honor Rubies and gates stones Bhermanah the all thy borders precious stones "

Antimony is used as kohl which is placed in the eye , but forces such as cement and says the Lord I will build my church , can not force anyone, and is also used in cosmetic These symbols of strength and beauty .

Rubies blue Oasesk any church surrounded by beauty .

Mark your honor Rubies and gates Bhermanah any stones make the doors and windows of the Church beautiful your church shall be strong and beautiful , as well as children of God.

( 13 ) " all thy sons in peace and disciples of the Lord thy children so much"

God knows that the joy of the Church is to become all of her children to the Lord and have the peace of many .

(14 ) " righteousness Tthbtin . Away from injustice not afraid and Alartaab , not approaching you"

Lord asks us to live away from the mainland of sin and evil .

Take away fear , Alartaab and feel like you are the owner of the Lord dates .

(15) "Here they meet is not from me. Of you gathered here are falling "

Any of the church in order to meet plotting any damage here are any drops falling under your feet with that the church does not believe in violence and do not work a meeting .

( 16 ) " Behold , I have created a mourning who puffed coal in the fire and out of the machine to work and I created the destroyer to destroy . Every machine portrayed against you do not succeed and every tongue will you eliminate it

Says the Lord, I created mourning but each machine photographed against you do not succeed , except divine and clear. Whatever the machinery which is hit towards the church , but we believe that they do not succeed. As if the prophet Isaiah was living with us in these days with the words of this prophecy, written about 2800 years ago , and this is evidence of the validity of the Bible . We see in our generation this many machines hit the physical , psychological , and physical ... But it did not work .

(17 ) "This is the legacy of servants of the Lord , and righteousness from me , saith the Lord"

The promises of the Lord With You.  when you feel anxious and restless memorize psalms and remember what was done to the promises in order to Tsendk and echoed such as " The Lord and my salvation of those who fear ", " Lord is my shepherd shall not want anything" , remember the promise of the Lord " phalanx leave you ," and all these will help you to face things and behave wisely.

When you feel up to the center of the pain many remember this promise : " Hazh have left you and Protect great Sajmek " . Believe in the Lord After Turk there is a very great mercies .

Just wait for the Lord in a spirit of prayer and faith.
