Whole generations of Czech country was the center of the reformed faith throughout Europe. Each of us knows names like Jan Hus and Jan Zizka. But you know how great the power of God is accompanied by? In ancient Israel, God led his people in battle with the enemy in such a way that even a much larger army did not have a chance. Much larger and more armed  armies without fighting, horror, and gave to escape, because Israel was God.

Who among us today, but knows that the same thing happened during the Hussite wars, thecommon people went to fight armed with a much larger army, and that while in horror and ran away without a fight? Yes, the Hussites was God and that He led the Reformation and was the head of the people who fought for the Reformation. Our ancestors were deeply religious people with many vivid experience with God.

Excerpt from the book The Great Controversy - Chapter 6 Hus and Jerome.

The head of the Hussites stood Jan Zizka, who shortly after the beginning of the war blinded in both eyes, but which nevertheless was one of the ablest commanders of his time. Hussites resisted more numerous forces that built up against them, because they believed in God and were convinced that their cause is just. Again and again, the new emperor gathered troops and invaded Bohemia. His troops, however, has always been ignominiously defeated. The Hussites did not know the fear of death and nobody could stand them.

Two hostile armies approached each other until only a river between them. "Crusader army was much stronger, but instead set off across the river and clashed in the battle with the Hussites, under which so far marched, froze and stared dumbly at the Hussite warriors. (Wylie, Vol. 3, ch. 17) Then, suddenly, everything hit the army mysterious horror. Without fall morning, a huge military power collapsed, shattered like an invisible power. Hussite troops beat a lot of enemy soldiers and began to chase refugees. Winners fell into the hands of large prey, and so the war that was to impoverish Bohemia, is more enriched.

A few years later as the new pope held another Crusade. As before, this time as well as military equipment supplied by all European countries subject to the Pope. All who attended this dangerous enterprise, the pope promised a great reward. Each crosshead promised complete forgiveness and the worst crimes. For all those who fall in war, promised a rich reward in heaven. Those who survive, they reap riches and honors on the battlefield. The pope called again a huge army, crossed the border and invaded Bohemia. Hussite troops retreated before him, and lured the intruder, who regard their victory as certain, farther and farther inland. Finally Prokop army stopped, turned to face the enemy and prepared to battle. The Crusaders, who now realized his mistake, waiting in his camp Hussite attack. When you hear the noise of the approaching troops, before the Hussites ever discovered, she fell to the Crusaders horror. Princes, commanders and ordinary soldiers dropping their weapons and fled in all directions. In vain the papal legate, who led the campaign, tried to organize again frightened and fled the army. Despite of it his best, he was eventually washed away by fleeing. The whole army confused and scattered into the hands of big winners again fell prey.

A huge army, posted the strongest nations in Europe, army brave warriors, trained and equipped to fight, and fled after the other without a single shot from a small defenders and then a weak nation. It was a manifestation of divine power. Aliens swept supernatural horror. God, who defeated the army of Pharaoh at the Red Sea and turned to flee before troops Midian Gideon and his three hundred men, who one night defeated the army of Assyria proud, once again held out his hand to thwart the power of oppressors. "Tut will be greatly afraid, where no fear. God surely scatter the bones of them that you militarily besieged; zahanbíš is for God despised them. "(Ps. 53.6)

And today? Let faith take you?

Most of us cried on Communism, on the difficult conditions and restrictions on freedom, but why we had to take this valuable? Faith in the God of our ancestors throughout the previous generations? Zeal and zealousness for the truth recorded in God's Word - the Bible?

Many of us today bemoans the destructive and exaggerated democracy, yet again, to let it take the most valuable. Why leave the comfort of us today, searching for money, food and entertainment once again took the ardent faith of our forefathers, for he did not hesitate to ask their lives?

There are many reasons to believe that God is. Everyone has a desire for God in my heart far saved, even though it denies most people, in moments of greatest need and greatest risk of all God will call. Have you, why is that?

When a whole generation fought for the reformed faith, suffered from oppression, hunger, often people of faith have been expelled from their homes or killed. How is it possible that it could resist? They had faith and live a lot of experience with God. Have specific interventions of God in their lives, and it is strengthened. Our faithful brave reformers were not only common people, but it was the nobility, princes, and yet were willing to give up everything. They had confidence and experience through which they knew they were on the right side.

The same can live with God today. If you turn your mind to God, believe in Jesus Christ, who is the only way to salvation and our thanks to the death for our sins, and the tremendous grace we are saved. He then turns your heart and the Holy Spirit in his words, his unchangeable law of love. Our hearts then reversed when looking at the immense sacrifice of our innocent Savior for our sins longs to do God's will, with love and gratitude to respect what God is kind and is written in ten points unchangeable Ten Commandments. Then you will see that as your life changes and you begin to experience God's power and wishful expectations of His Second Coming and salvation.

You might say that the experience can live and those who do not follow the whole law of God. Yes, this is so, God looks at the sincerity and heart rate of knowledge of each person. Therefore, Hussites could experience such power, even though the Reformation was still in its infancy and not yet fully know.

But there is a danger, because even Satan takes place miracle work, and especially before the advent of Jesus Christ to be false miracles very escalate. Those who were familiar with the permanent validity of God's law and rejected the truth, and is issued as in danger of Satan's power. Thus, even Christianity around the world can be acted so many miracles, revelation, often short-term recovery and yet not be the power of God.

Matthew 24,24-25 - arise because false messiahs and false prophets will do great signs and wonders, so as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.

Our ancestors had a faith built on a solid foundation of God's word. Looking not at what they submit false shepherds in churches, but prayed sincerely longing for truth and studied the Bible. They let the Holy Spirit to lead and not be submitted by lies. Therefore, let us return to their legacy. Believe in God with all your heart and soul, the mind. Fall in love His law of love written in the Ten Commandments, and accept it by the Holy Spirit into their hearts with gratitude, faith and love comforted of God. Jesus said:

Luke 16.17 - but rather of heaven and earth pass away, than to stop paying one point the law!

Matthew 5,17-20 - "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish but to fulfill them. Verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter nor one tittle of the law before it all come true.

Why do we believe now more than our pastors and their distorted interpretations of that law is no longer valid, than the words of Jesus Christ? Why must the history of apostasy from God's principles in ancient Israel, the first Church and Protestantism today and still repeated? Return to let yourself be guided only by the Holy Spirit and God's word, and not the people! Be the faith once again willing to fight and stand up for her. God will then respond to their leadership and clear interference in your life.

Remember that the Bible was written for ordinary people, not only for theological scholars, and therefore all important truths from it under the guidance of the Holy Spirit also understandable. Bible but not relativize, diminish, twist and interpret according to their views. The Bible is always interpreted the Bible! This means that the verse can not read, will interpret again another verse to that theme. Jesus Christ said:

Matthew 18.3 - "Truly I tell you, if you turn around and become like children, not to lose the kingdom of heaven.

Think of us. Which of the Ten points should therefore be repealed?

If, according to church leaders nailed to the cross just the Ten Commandments, and not only the ceremonial law of Moses, who pointed to the first coming of the Messiah, and that the death of Jesus Christ really fulfilled, points out that the Ten Commandments would thus stopped paying?

First - "I am the Lord your God who brought thee out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Do not no other gods besides me. (We thus have no other gods?)

Second - Do not generate the idols in the form of anything in heaven above, the earth beneath or in the waters under the earth. Neklan them and serve them, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Punishing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of those who love Me and keep My commandments. (We can therefore no longer worship idols and calmly soškám and serve our hobbies?)

Third - Do not use the name of the Lord your God in vain, for those who would take his name in vain, the Lord does not leave without penalty. (I, we can make fun of God's names, swear and blaspheme?)

4th - Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. Thou shalt not do any work - you, your son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, an immigrant in your gates. In six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, but rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. (When God rested on Saturday to meet with us and strengthened its relationship with us, we can wave a hand and not to come, when God waits?)

5th - Honor your father and mother, whether you are long in the land which I give the Lord your God. (Are you ready to disobey our parents?)

6th - Do not kill. (Well, for this we go to jail, but when God's law abolished it should no longer be allowed?)

7th - Not commit adultery . (I can commit adultery, enjoy, and it does not matter if you injure your partner?)

8th - Do not steal. (It would also no longer allowed to even steal?)

9th - Do not lie about your neighbor. (How much pain would bring if we could lie about your neighbor?)

10th - Envy your neighbor's house. Envy your neighbor's wife, his slave, his maid, his ox or ass - envious of your neighbor anything. "(Satan's envy, it all started, it should now be allowed?)

Which item is no longer valid? Perhaps only the fourth commandment?

And why, just when it is the seal of God's law. Although the sight of God have the same meaning all the commandments (James 2:10), only the fourth commandment we find signs of God's seal:

1 Name the legislature: "The Lord - thy Lord and thy God"

2nd His title: Creator, "The Lord has made - the Creator of Heaven and Earth"

3 The area to which the law applies: "heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them".

Exodus 31,13,17 - "Speak to the children of Israel: Keep my Sabbath, because it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations you to know that I am the Lord your Sanctifier. It is the eternal sign between me and the children of Israel. In six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he rested and took a breath. "

Ezekiel 20,12,20 - also I gave them my Sabbath, to be a sign between me and them to know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. Hallow my Sabbath, whether a sign between me and you, you know that I am the Lord your God.

Revelation 14.12 - You need perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and Jesus of faith.

Yes, Saturday is truly a sign between God and His people!

If the Ten Commandments really the death of Jesus lifted collapse would be a government of love and words of Jesus Christ the Lord and love your neighbor would not go to meet, because love is the whole law and the prophets. Just the words of love, Jesus summed up the whole Ten Commandments.

Matthew 22.37 - Jesus said to him: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and with all thy mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. 'In these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. "

We Christians, who are modern-day spiritual Israel, not perhaps the word for us?

Jeremiah 7,9-10 - Did you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, follow strange gods unknown, and then come to stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We saved '? That you can commit all those atrocities?

Jeremiah 4,1-2 - "I wish you, O Israel, return, saith the Lord, I wish you returned to me! I wish you my profanity eliminated from the eyes and no more nebloudil! I wish you the truth, justice court and swear, 'As surely as the LORD lives!'

Jeremiah 7.23 - Listen to me, and I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk always in the way which I commanded you, and keep you well. '

John 15.10 - If you keep My commandments, you will abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

1 John 5.3 - Love of God is that we obey his commandments - and his commandments are not burdensome.
