Deus quer pessoas santas nao religiosas, pessoas que sejam realistas de seu estado espiritual e queiram cada dia melhora-lo, pessoas que nao pensem ser super crentes mas que saibam que sao perdoadas por suas imperfeicoes. Ser santo e ter a mente limpa, coracao puro diante de Deus e dos homens e ter uma vida que reflita realmente o que tem em seu interior.
Mas quem suportara o dia da sua vinda? Equem subsistira, quando Ele aparecer? Porque Ele sera como o fogo do ourives ecomo o sabao dos lavandeiros. Malaquias 3:2. De maneira que nenhum dom vosfalta, esperando a manifestacao de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo,O qual vosconfirmara tambem ate ao fim, para serdes irrepreensiveis no dia de nosso SenhorJesus Cristo.1 Corintios 1:7,8 Um centuriao foi ate jesus a fim de buscar cura para um de seus servos. Ele disse: Senhor, o meu criado jaz em casa paralitico e violentamente atormentado.Jesus, entao, afirmou: Eu irei e lhe darei saude. O centuriao respondeu: Senhor, nao sou digno de que entres debaixo do meu telhado,mas dize somente uma palavra, e o meu criado sarara, e Jesus ficou maravilhado com a grande fe daquele homen. ( mateus 8: v.6,7) E disse : Em verdade vos digo que nem mesmo em Israel encontrei tanta fe, (v.10)Cristo disse ao centuriao: Vai, e como creste te seja feito. E , naquela mesma hora, oseu criado sarou (v.13) Uma certa vez ouvi a seguinte pergunta. Que Deus e esse que faria o inferno para seus filhos ?Na verdade o inferno foi preparado para o diabo e seus anjos. Mais o homem que rejeita o seu criador, nao dando a ELE a gloria e a honra merecida que outro lugar essa pessoa merece? Em atos 12. Versiculo, 23,24, fala de um rei chamado Herodes, que morreu comido de bicho porque nao deu gloria Deus. E voce meu amigo? A quem voce tem se prostrado? A quem voce tem dado gloria?Lembre-se que Deus diz no livro de Izaias 48: 11, que a gloria Dele Ele nao daria a outro. Em Izaias 45:23 diz, que, diante de Deus se dobrara todo joelho, e por Ele jurara toda a lingua. NAO EXISTE OUTRO DEUS FORA O NOSSO DEUS... O que sera que temos proferido no nosso dia-a-dia? Palavras de bencaos ou de maldicoes? Nossas palavras sao como sementes, e aplicada com fe, sendo ela positiva ou negativa, surtirao efeitos. Poi isso tenho enfatizado o inicio deste blog com o tema " o poder da palavra""Do fruto da boca de cada um se fartara o seu ventre; dos renovos dos seus labios se fartara.( proverbio 18.20). Voce pode mudar o curso da sua vida pelas palavras que proferir. Se o seu destino precisa de um ajuste, examine com u olhar critico as palavras que tem dito e peca ao Espirito de Deus , que o auxilie apenas o que ira trazer bons frutos pra voce e para os outros. O Todo Poderoso Deus criador dos ceus e da terra, e arquiteto de todo universo, criou todas as maravilhas do mundo, apenas com palavras. Ai vem a pergunta, mais ele nao e Deus? Com certeza que sim, porem, Ele nos fez a sua imagem e semelhanca, e nos deu autoridade quando disse: Se tiveres fe como um grao de mostarda dirao a esse monte, sai e vai para o mar, assim sera feito. E isso mesmo... apenas com uma palavra, isso unido com uma outra arma poderosa, que e
seu objetivo, que era interagir a sala com o assunto descrito no video. O grupo 2 apresentou como tema, a Morfologia vegetal. Ja o grupo 3 apresentou um tema que todos tem pelo menos um pouco de curiosidade, a Biologia Forense.
come and go, and vie for your business around the bus station. Cappadocia's main attraction and the customary starting point for an overview of what the region has to offer, the Goreme Open Air Museum is a monastic complex composed of churches, rectories, and dwellings, and one of the earliest centers for religious education.The practice of monasticism was developed by St. Basil the Great, bishop of Caesarea (Kayseri) in the 4th century, as a reaction to his increased disillusionment with the materialism of the Church. St. Basil's definition of monastic life, based on the idea that men should live in small, self-sufficient units with an emphasis on poverty, obedience, labor, and religious devotion, took root in Cappadocia, later becoming the basis for the Orthodox monastic system.St. Basil, his brother St. Gregory of Nyssa, and St. Gregory of Nazianzoz (St. Gregorios the Theologian), greatly influenced the course of religious thought through their writings, contributing to the development of Eastern Orthodoxy. In his extensive writings St. Basil describes the nature of the Holy Spirit as a trilogy, while St. Gregory of Nyssa wrote of the dogma of the Virgin Mary, and St. Gregory of Nazianzoz developed the thesis on Jesus as a representative of the indivisible nature of the human and divine. Because of their contributions, Cappadocia became known as "the land of the three saints," but was soon divided in two in A.D. 371 when Emperor Valens rejected Basil's thesis on Jesus as the son of God.There are at least 10 churches and chapels in the museum area dating between A.D. 900 and 1200, each one named (after a prominent attribute) by the local villagers who were exploring these caves long before there was an entrance fee. The paintings and decoration represent a flowering of a uniquely Cappadocian artistic style, while the Byzantine architectural features of the churches, like arches, columns, and capitals, are interesting in that not one of them is necessary structurally. The best way to approach the site is to begin in a counterclockwise direction toward a clearly marked path.During the Iconoclastic period, many of the frescoes and paintings were damaged, while the eyes of the images were scratched out by the local Turkish population superstitious of the "evil eye."Past a small rock tower or Monks' Convent is the Church of St. Basil, whose entrance is hollowed out with niches for small graves. This is a common feature of Cappadocian churches and it's still not uncommon to reach down and come up with a knuckle bone every now and again in the more remote valleys. Another recurring theme in Cappadocian churches is the image of St. George slaying the dragon. St. George was considered a local hero, as local lore equated the dragon with a monster on the summit of Mount Erciyes. The church is decorated with scenes of Christ, with St. Basil and St. Theodore depicted on the north wall.The Church with the Apple (Elmali Kilise) is one of the smaller churches in the area, carved in the sign of a Greek cross with four irregular pillars supporting a
central dome. The church was restored in 1991; however, the frescoes continue to chip off, revealing a layer of earlier paintings underneath. Paintings depict scenes of the saints, bishops, and martyrs, and to the right of the altar, a Last Supper with the symbolic fish (the letters of the word fish in Greek stand for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, the Savior"). The name of the church is believed to refer to a reddish orb in the left hand of the Archangel Michael in the dome of the main apse, although there's also speculation that there used to be an apple tree at the entrance to the church. Santa Barbara was an Egyptian saint imprisoned by her father to protect her from the influences of Christianity. When she nevertheless found a way to practice her faith, her father tortured and killed her. The Church of Santa Barbara, probably built as a tribute, is a cross-domed church with three apses, with mostly crudely painted geometrical patterns in red ocher believed to be symbolic in nature. The wall with the large locust probably represents evil, warded off by the protection of two adjacent crosses. The repetitive line of bricks above the rooster in the upper right-hand corner, symbolically warding off the evil influences of the devil, represents the Church.The Snake Church is a simple barrel-vaulted church with a low ceiling and long nave. One fresco represents Saints Theodore and George slaying the dragon (looking suspiciously like a snake), with Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother Helena depicted holding the "True Cross." Legend has it that she discovered the cross upon which Jesus was crucified after seeing it in a dream, and that a piece of the cross is still buried in the foundations of the Ayasofya in Istanbul. Other sections of the cross are in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and in St. Peter's in Rome. Another interesting portrait is the one of St. Onuphrius on the upper wall to the right of the entrance. The saint, a popular subject in medieval art, lived the life of a hermit in the Egyptian desert near Thebes and is usually depicted with a long gray beard and a fig leaf over his privates.Until the 1950s the Dark Church (Karanlik Kilise) was used as a pigeon house. After 14 years of scraping pigeon droppings off the walls, these newly restored frescoes, depicting scenes from the New Testament, are the best preserved in all of Cappadocia and a fine example of 11th-century Byzantine art. Because light is allowed in through only one small opening, the richness of the pigments has survived the test of time. At the time of this writing, the additional 5.50YTL ($4) admission fee for entry into the church had been suspended.Cut into the same rock as the Dark Church and accessible via a metal walkway, the Church with Sandals (Carikli Kilise) takes its name from the two imprints on the floor inside the entrance. In the land of truth-stretching, these footprints have been given some weighty religious significance, but the fact is,
they're just footprints and all of those stories are just more creative embellishment. The church is carved into a simple cross plan with intersecting barrel vaults. The frescoes, which date to the 11th century, depict the Nativity, the Baptism, the Adoration of the Magi, and other New Testament themes.The last thing to see before exiting the museum is the Nunnery or Girls' Tower (Kizlar Kalesi), a six-story convent cut into the rock with a system of tunnels, stairways, and corridors. The convent housed up to 300 nuns, whose proximity spawned rumors of a tunnel connecting the tower and the Monks' Convent to the right of the museum entrance.About 5m (17 ft.) outside the exit to the museum site on the right is The Buckle Church (Tokali Kilise), the largest rock-cut church and the one with the most sensational collection of frescoes in all of Cappadocia. Of all of the narrations of scenes from the Bible in the region, these are painted with the most detail and use the richest colors.The Buckle Church is a complex formed of four chambers: the Old Church, the New Church, the Paracclesion, and the Lower Church. The Old Church dates to the 10th century, with pale hues of red and green painted in strips to represent scenes from the New Testament. Panels of rich indigo painted with pigments from the lapis stone dominate the New Church, carved out of the eastern wall of the Old Church and decorated with Eastern-style arches and a series of arcades. The Paracclesion is a chapel with a single apse, and the Lower Church has three aisles and a burial space or krypto.The high plateau behind Tokali Church brings you to Kiliclar Valley, named "Valley of the Swords" for the jagged formations that seem to slice into the sky. This is a favorite spot for hikers because of its high cliffs, deep ravines, and vineyards, in addition to a tunnel that forms part of an old drainage system. The cliff walls are dotted with dovecotes or pigeon houses hollowed out of the rock to harvest valuable fertilizer -- pigeon droppings are rich in nitrogen -- by area farmers. There are several old churches in this valley, but they are closed to the public. The best way to get to the valley is to enter along an access road from the road between the Goreme Museum and the town.The highest peak in the region and the most prominent land formation, the Uchisar Castle is a larger-than-life sculpture. A climb up the 120 steps to the summit of the fortress is a logical introduction to the rocky scapes of Cappadocia. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Byzantine army took advantage of the natural elevation of three of the area's rock formations and used them as natural fortresses. Uchisar, together with Ortahisar and a rock castle at Urgup (now in ruins), provided the means for an early-warning system using mirrors and lights, sending messages among the fortresses and as far afield as Istanbul. Today the outer layers of Uchisar's rock have been washed away
by erosion to reveal a honeycombed structure of tunnels and cavities, rising above the man-made facades of the modern semi-troglodyte village. Recently discovered was a secret tunnel leading to the riverbed, which provided an emergency water supply in the event of an attack.This area near the village of Uchisar is named for the thousands of pigeon houses carved into the rock. It is a surreal vision: an outrageously phallic landscape straight out of a Salvador Dali painting. The conical formations are the result of volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years ago. Eons of wind, rain and other forces of nature have eaten away at the volcanic rock creating tufa, a soft and malleable stone. Many of these cones, known as fairy chimneys, contain caves and labyrinths. As early as the third century, those chimneys became a hiding place for early Christians who fled persecution from the Romans, and then later from raiding Muslims. They dug deep into the rock, carving out underground cities that went eight stories below ground, as well as thousands of cave chapels and monastery cells. As recently as 20 years ago, most of the cave dwellings were empty abandoned for more modern, concrete homes. In the last several years, though, affluent Turks and foreigners have started turning them into second homes and, in a few cases, boutique hotels like the Cappadocia Cave Suites and the recently opened Anatolia Houses.URGUP AREA - 23km (14 miles) east of Nevsehir; 6.5km (4 miles) east of Goreme. Of the major villages in Cappadocia, Urgup strikes a balance between preserving its Anatolian traditions and cultivating an unobtrusive yet irresistible tourist infrastructure. To meet the rising demand, hoteliers are all too eager to create magical and otherworldly accommodations for an increasingly upscale market. Crumbled hovels are snatched up for a song, human odors of food and sweat are scraped away with the top layers of porous tufa, and perfectly charming romantic retreats materialize. Of course, one day, all of those abandoned terraced houses will sprout brand-new facades, a gentrification process that, while polished and attractive, will probably be devoid of the character that drew us here in the first place. The process has already begun, particularly in the wake of press provided by the highly popular Turkish soap opera, Asmali Konak. But for now, Urgup remains a tranquil yet convenient corner of Cappadocia that makes an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding valleys.Near Urgup and carved into a uniquely pink tufa, Zelve was once home to one of the largest communities in the region, inhabited by a Greek population until the 1922 population exchange, when Greeks and Turks were "repatriated" to their mother countries. When Muslims took over the valley, a mosque was hewn out of the rock, and stands near the entrance. The first known inhabitants of the valley were monks, and although we can say for sure that they carved out the chapels, it's unclear who first began hollowing out the valley. The cave dwellings were used by local villagers up until 1952, when the structures were determined
to be unsafe and the villagers were moved en masse over to nearby Aktepe, or New Zelve.Now a national park, Zelve consists of three consecutive valleys whose walls are riddled with living quarters, blind tunnels, passageways, and traps for protection against attacks. Footholds chiseled into the smooth vertical tufa require an agility once aimed at keeping out unwanted visitors, but now present a fantastic challenge to modern-day rock climbers. Those interested in hiking should set aside plenty of time to explore the area, following a path over the mountain to Red Valley, about 4km (2 1/2 miles) away. Exploring the caves can be exhilarating, challenging, and downright dangerous. Don't attempt anything fancy without a guide; Argeus offers excellent guided tours, but you can also arrange one through one of the many shops in town. Wherever you see tour buses or souvenir stands, there's bound to be something interesting. Pasabag, also known as Valley of the Monks, is a forest of cone-shaped fairy chimneys more shocking and lifelike (not life-size) than most. Not surprisingly, it's a popular stop for photo ops.The chimneys of Pasabag harbor a number of chapels and dwellings used by Christian hermits, the most prominent of which is a tri-level chapel with depictions of the life of St. Simeon. St. Simeon the Stylite lived a life of hardship and denial in Antioch around the 4th century, high atop a 15m (50-ft.) pillar. Later hermits were inspired to do the same, initiating a "stylite" movement of isolated living.
BEAUTIFUL CAPETOWN, SO.AFRICA. During this trip, I visited THE WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE, NORTHERN CAPE & GARDEN ROUTE TO THE EASTERN CAPE, RETURNING VIA THE KLEIN KAROO January31-February 21, 2000 (My third trip to South Africa) CITY BOWL-Kapstad & Waterfront/Table MountainTHE AMSTERDAM GUESTHOUSE IN ORANJEZICHT - CAPE TOWN where I have stayed on 4 differnt occasions between July 1999 and February 2000.POOL, JACUZZI STEAM & LOUNGE AREAWhere the Indian Ocean meets the South Atlantic OceanEu consegui uma passagem muito (mas muito) barata para viajar a Cidade do Cabo de Miami, apessar de ter voos da SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS sem escala Miami- CapeTown- Miami na epoca. Portanto, parte da aventura foi a odisseia por 5 cidades em 3 continentes para chegar ao meu destino, e depois tambem voltar pela mesma rota. Sai de Miami 31 de janeiro pela United Airlines em direcao a Frankfurt, trocando de Boeing 777-200 em Washington-Dulles.Cheguei em Frankfurt no dia seguinte as 7h30, e apos pegar o bilhete para o resto do trajeto no saguao original do aeroporto, continuei para Londres pela British Midland Airways as 11h, chegando a LON-Heathrow as 13h. Em Heathrow, tive que trocar de terminal (claro) e esperar ate o Airbus 340 da VIRGIN ATLANTIC partir as 18h. Aquele Heathrow (o terminal intercontinental principal pelo menos) e uma verdadeira Torre de Babilonia de tanta diversidade de gente, trajes, linguas, e artigos a venda de todo tipo, com mesquita e sex shop, tudo num espaco so.Depois de um voo de quase 13 horas, chegamos a Cape Town/Kapstad as 9 horas. MICHIEL, o dono do Amsterdam Guest House (que aparece aqui em cima) estava me esperando na saidas internacionais, com a van do Amsterdam. O passeio entre o aeroporto e o"Amsterdam" e muito pintoresco. A Pousada Amsterdam fica no alto (a penultima rua e depois e so pedra para cima) do "City Bowl" de Cidade de Cabo, num bairro cheio de mansoes e palacetes encostados no Table Mountain (o Corcovado de C.Town).Uma vez la, encontrei-me novamente com Nick - um amigo (tambem holandes como Michiel) que eu ja conhecia. Ele trabalha com turismo na Holanda, mas ajuda Michiel a administrar esta "pousada"- um palacete privado ate a venda nos anos 90 para Michiel. Os quartos de hospedes sao enormes e bem equipados com TV a cabo e banheiros completos. Os varios saloes lembram o passado da casa como um grande casarao. Tem 3 ou 4 niveis, dois jardins, piscina, jacuzzi, solarium, sauna e banho turco, com duas salas de televisao (video), ja que todos os quartos tem TV a cabo.Bom, aconteceu muito coisa daqui para frente que irei acrescentando. Aluguei um carro, e conheci mais de perto (ja era minha 3a visita) Cape Town, que mais que uma cidade e uma area enorme, dividida por montanhas, praias, ilhas, vales e planicies. Tambem conheci mais o norte da provincia sul africana Western Cape, e cheguei ate a fronteira com o "Northern Cape" que ja comeca a se parecer mais com Namibia do que com a mais verde e fertil "Western Cape."Tomei o famoso camino ou estrada "Garden Route" que
liga a Cape Town com o "Eastern Cape" - a ultima provincia que se criou do que foi na epoca dos governos europeus, uma entidade so - a "Cape Province." No caminho, passa-se por Hermanus, o Ponto Agulhas - o ponto mais austral da Africa, descoberto pelos portugueses como o nome indica. La, muita gente considera que os Oceanos Indico e Atlantico se separam.Continuei ate Mosselbai, passando pela linda cidade de George e subindo o espetacular Montagu Pass. Depois dum dia e 2 noites em Mosselbai, continuei ate o Parque Nacional Titsikama, ja no Eastern Cape Province. Passiei pelo maravilhoso Storm's River com suas cachoeiras e cavernas e pelos luxuosos balnearios de Plettenberg Bay e Knysa. Nesta area, alias 50 kms apos de deixar o municipio de Cape Town, as aguas sao mais quentes, a vegetacao e o clima e cada vez mais tropical, pegando as correntes de agua quente do Oceano Indico. E assim, passando por Durban ate chegar a fronteira com Mocambique. Mas eu nem cheguei perto de la, apenas no Eastern Cape.Na volta de Plettenberg Bay a Cidade do Cabo, preferi ir pelo interior, uma especie de sertao (mais arido ainda) chamado "the Karoo." A cidade principal nessa regiao e Oudtshoorn, que e a capital de produtos derivados da avestruz. E e o lugar que tem mais avestruz mesmo, um dos mais tipicos animais da Africa do Sul - e um que tem multiples fins: desde seguranca (pela forca de um golpe de peito da avestruz) ate na moda, em todo tipo de acessorios e na comida: ovos e carne.Nao fiquei hospedado em Oudtshoorn, optando pelo famoso e remoto SWARTBERG HOTEL & COUNTRY LODGE numa vilazinha chamada Prince Albert, em homenagem ao principe que visitou esse remoto fim de mundo no final do seculo 19. O Hotel esta na base dos Swartberg Mountains, na vila de Prince Albert. Prince Albert fica a so 40kms de Oudtshoorn e as Cavernas Cango Caves, via o magnifico e historico Swartberg Pass considerado o segundo mais belo no mundo. Tambem, pode-se chegar ou sair via Meiringspoort, uma outra deslumbrante passagem de 25 kms, rodeada de falesias vermelhas. Fiquei numa "moradia tipica sul africana" como a foto seguinte mostra.Prince Albert e Oudtshoorn sao os unicos municipios do mundo que oferecem tres das paisagens mais deslumbrantes do mundo (segundo a Guia Michelin) dentro de um raio de 100kms. Estas sao o Swartberg Pass, Meiringspoort e ainda na serra -as "Cango Caves.O Swartberg Hotel, na rua principal da vila, Church Street, tanto o "Lodge" comoa vila parecem um far oeste imperial do seculo 19. A vila inteira, quase, se encontra no Bar deste "Lodge" meio-Victoriano, meio-Gotico a partir da Happy Hour. Muito homem de negocio sul-africano (leia-se afikaner branco) aparece por la tambem. Nao so por ser o unico bar da vila, mas o unico bar/restaurante num raio de uns 100 kms. Aqui, o sempre movimentado bar - centro verdadeiro da vila.Mas a N-1, uma Rodovia SulAfricana muito importante, passa por perto. E Prince Albert e tambem a unica parada possivel num bom trecho de rodovia
