Christians - ready to rule the nations?

The word of God, God still has things to tell us. Let's go to the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 10, beginning with verse 1, but before going into that passage, let me see the brothers who visit us, those who have not been here before or those who were absent. These sermons are part of a series I'm preaching on the subject of authority, there are at least 4 or 5 out there that you remember.

The issue of authority. This is part of a series that we have started beginning with the first sermon that I spoke about obedience and then we went into the subject of authority because one thing kind of led to another. Why are these issues linked? And I said that I feel that the Lord has first spoken to my life.

When I started this series, I really didn't even know what I was getting myself into and I simply obeyed an initial thought that God put in my heart about obedience and as you remember I spoke about obedience to the Lord, obedience to the Father, and what obedience? is better than sacrifices. Those sermons, by the way, are on the website, on the Internet page, if you want to look them up and thus be able to have an idea of the whole journey that we have traveled.

Obedience to the Father is linked to obedience to human authorities as well. One thing is linked to the other. And for this reason, logically, I felt impelled to continue with the subject of authority. And in this process of sharing with you and meditating on this subject, a whole panorama of meditation has opened up for me on an area that I believe is of absolute importance for the people of God in this time that we are living because my impression and not only mine, but that of many who observe the movement of the church of Jesus Christ at this time, and who meditate on what God wants to do with the church in these coming years and perhaps decades, depending on how long it takes for the Lord to come All of this depends a lot on the church being aligned, synchronizing with the word of God, synchronizing.

I am going to use that word in a very deliberate way and when I say the word a comparison occurs to me that can illustrate this. I recently entered, I took another step into the world of technology and the little device that we are using in the promise week reminded me, with the iPods, I don't know if it is an iPod that we are using. iPods, I had resisted that for a long time and finally Sonia, our eldest daughter gave us an iPod and I began to learn how to use it, etc. I am happy with my little iPod device. The only thing is that you won't see me running around with one of those devices in my ears, or anything like that, but what it can do is very interesting.

And one of the things that you do with an iPod, let's say you record music on your computer. The music goes to her computer and it's stored there on the computer and the computer gives her the titles of each song that she's storing. So you take your gadget, the iPod, plug it into the computer, and the computer asks you, do you want to synchronize, is that the word, what's on the computer with the gadget? The gadget is simply a device for storing information, in this case, music. So, she tells him, do you want to combine the musical content that is in me, the computer, with the little device that you are connecting? So I tell him, yes, and I press the little button that says sync, then the computer does its things there, weird, I'm not going to think about what it does, but mysteriously, magically, the music goes down wonderfully to the little device and I plug a speaker into it, or whatever, and I can hear exactly what was on my computer in the little gadget. Because? Because it synced. In other words, the device was put online with the content that was on the computer.

And brothers, I believe that this is what God wants to do with each one of us and with his church at this time. What is the computer? The word of God, the Holy Spirit. And God wants you and me, and especially the church, in general, to be in harmony, to be in sync, to align with the heart of God, with the mind of God, with the content of the word of God, so that the The way that God thinks, feels, reasons, works, his way of seeing the world, passes to your heart, to your mind and that then you can synchronize the content of God's heart with the content that is in your heart. Understands? We are never going to do it totally but I do believe that we can reconcile, I believe that right now the church of Jesus Christ is completely misaligned.

Something interesting happened to me, another thing that can illustrate this a little more, I'm already in the content of the message. Miguel, my son-in-law, I saw some songs that were on his iPod that I wanted to have on mine. You know what? He is more hip, more modern and had a content that I here, well behind in that, did not have. I'm like, wow, I want this, and I want this, and I want that, and I want that whole CD. There was a very good jazz one there, which I'm going to recommend later, holy all, don't worry. The case was that it is not supposed, that is, the iPod program is not made to download songs that way. But he told me, don't worry, I know of a program that allows you to download the content. Then through another program, which was not the legitimate content of the computer, iTunes.

He used another program to download the content from his computer to my iPod and he did it and I was happy with my… but what happened? That when I wanted to download other songs on my computer again, the computer recognized that there was content on my iPod that she had not given me permission to download to my iPod. And he told me, there are songs here that are not authorized to be downloaded. She acknowledged that the program that had put those songs in was not the same one that she had and that Apple, in order to maintain its monopoly, has controlled it very well. The point is the following that many times this happens.

There are times when there is content in the mind of the church, there is content in the heart of the people of God that God has not authorized to come down to us. There is content in my mind, there are patterns in this church of government and attitudes, and behaviors, brothers, in us, ways of thinking and reasoning that God when he examines us to see if we are synchronized with him, he says, I did not put that program over there. That content is not mine and God rejects it. And each one of us, beginning with the one who speaks to you, has content that does not come from the heart of God and we have to remove that content because there can be no intimate and perfect connection with the spirit of God and that content that is in us. God's spirit rejects it and God's information cannot then properly pass and run through us.

God's program cannot be fulfilled and manifested with all the fullness that it wants to manifest itself in our lives. There is much content in the heart of the church, in the program of the church, in the government of the church, in the teaching of the church, in the evangelistic program of the church, in the discipleship of the church, in the way that the leaders behave in the church, that it has not come down from the heart of God or from his word, but has come down from the program of culture, the program of the modern mind, the program of the intellect, the program of history, the point of history that we are living or the program of man's own heart and carnal reasoning that has nothing to do with the worldview, the worldview that manifests the word of God.

And I believe that the heart of God is saying at this time to the church, to humanity, I need you to align your program with my program, that you align your heart with my heart. Brothers, I feel in my spirit that God is looking for, God wants reconciliation with his creatures like never before in history. God wants to be reconciled with humanity, rather, I would say that in a sense, indeed, humanity needs to be reconciled with God because the Father is always willing and ready. God does not want to destroy his creature. God does not want anyone to be lost but rather everyone to proceed to eternal life, says the word.

But you know what? The world has very little time left before God moves as God gave me in my heart to read in Hebrews 12, the other days, 25 to 27 or 29, he says, even once, says the Lord, and I will move the heavens and earth. And I believe that the heart of God is prepared to move the heavens and the earth at any moment. And God does not want to destroy, God wants to preserve his creature.

Brethren, God is a Father. Imagine God as a very rich and powerful man who has millions and millions of dollars at his disposal and people tremble before him. And you can pick up the phone and call any head of state anywhere in the world and they will connect you with that president, but you have a rebellious son who insists on doing drugs and every so often they call that father to tell him that his son was arrested , and he uses his influence to get him out of jail. And he sits down with his son and tries to reason with him and says, son, I want to protect you but you are on your way to destruction. And that son persists in disobeying his father and living in a self-destructive way.

And there is something in the heart of that son, a wound, a pride, some evil impulse that leads him to patterns of behavior that are self-destructive. That son is intelligent, that son has great potential, that son has great talents, that son has a calling, that son carries in his flesh the cells and genes of his progenitor, and could be almost as big as his father and have as much success and do more good even than his father here on earth. But that son is stubborn in living according to his principles and his desires and that father, his heart laments and cries and bleeds because that father says, look at me, with so much power that I have if I pick up the phone the president of the United States He answers me, if I want to send a million dollars to a person I will do it, if I want to buy and sell with my money I can do it, but I cannot get into my son's heart and mind and change what is there inside. I can't get it out of her because I don't have the power, the authority, not the power but the authority to… I can't reach into her heart and rip it out and wipe it clean. I can't open his head and find where the problem is in his brain and reconcile it. I can't go to where the seat of your emotions is and take a nut or a hammer or whatever and drive out the impurity.

All my money and all my power do not serve me to change the heart of my son and I can only see him on his way to destruction. And one day I'm afraid they're going to call me and tell me, your son died in a traffic accident, or he overdosed on drugs, or they caught him in a nightclub and shot him and I don't have the faculty to protect my son from that self-destructive direction he's headed.

And brothers, that is God's dilemma in this time with respect to humanity. God has total power, if he wanted he could turn you and me into a robot that does exactly what he wants. If he wanted to, he could step into history for a moment and control and take the helm of the universe and the world and change the course of history and turn this human race into a race completely obligated to obey him, but he is prevented from doing so by his own justice and his own self-respect. And then he needs man to align himself, man to humble himself, for this creature that he has created to get in sync with him so that he can do what he wants to do. That creature is destined for immense things. God made him a little less than the angels, in the heart of man, in the genes of the men of the human race there are potentialities that you and I cannot even imagine, but we have to synchronize with the Father.

What I'm telling you, I don't know where it came from because it's not that, but I know… all of this is linked, I assure you. But God is putting it in my heart at this time, brothers, there is something that is being born inside of me that now I am only daring to start talking about these things and it is that we are at a key time where God is going to start doing things great in the world, the course of history is going to change and we are on the brink of a precipice in the positive sense of the word, I believe that a time is opening for God's dealings with humanity that I myself am not sure what I'm seeing, but I know it's big. And that is going to imply, and here is the connection, that the church of Jesus Christ, because God wants reconciliation with humanity, God is going to give humanity one last chance, the Father does not want to destroy his creation. Before he ends this and sends his judgment upon earth, he desperately wants his creature, who he loves for reasons we can never imagine, why God chose to create you and me, why God made this incredible artistic experiment of forming with his mouth a piece of land called earth, the planet earth, and planting it like raisins in a cake, men and women walking on it so that they look at him like him he looks at himself. And he put something of himself in that creature so that it looks at him, almost with the same lucidity with which he sees himself and to dialogue with that creature through centuries and centuries and resolve something that you and I cannot imagine. , what is in the heart of God, in his relationship with this creature called man, woman, humanity.

And God loves his creature as a father loves his children and that rebellious son hurts the father's heart. I sometimes feel the pain of God's heart in this time with his creature. He wants reconciliation. His heart is broken. He does not want to destroy man but he needs man to align with him because God is not going to change his way of being, he is high and sublime. The terms of reconciliation between God and man will be according to what God has established, not according to what man wants. You understand? God desperately wants to align with his creature but she has to align with him. He is not going to change his terms, he wants, he ardently desires, his heart bleeds for reconciliation, he does not want to destroy and he is begging his creature, do not let me destroy you because I love you and he does not want anyone to be lost. Each one of us is precious to the Father's heart.

And yet, nations, governments, countries, individuals, systems persist in saying no, I want to do things my way. And the heart of the Father bleeds, bleeds, bleeds. That God, no one should tell me, that God is impassive and totally self-sufficient, that he moves there in absolute otherness. No, God feels, brothers, the God that I see in the Bible is a God who bleeds his heart, a God who is capable of feeling anger, jealousy, pain, he is a passionate God.

If you feel passion it is because God made you in his image and because he is passionate and that is why you feel feelings. And that Father is bleeding for his children and wants to reconcile with his children, he wants his children to approach him, kiss his hand and for him to tell them, come children, he was waiting. Like the prodigal son.

Do you see the story of the prodigal son? The son was there doing his thing, give me my inheritance, his pride, fail and come back, and what happens? Since he made the first hint of approach to the father, what did the father do? She took off the flip-flops she was wearing, she didn't even get dressed, she left with her bathrobe and went looking for her son when she saw him in the distance, and hugged him, kissed him, didn't mention how shameless he had been, what how much it had hurt his heart, the shame he had brought home. Simply, the son only needed to make a gesture of breaking and approach and the father's heart melted immediately.

And you know what? That is what God wants humanity to do, that humanity look at the centuries of tragedy that it has brought upon itself, the terrible wars, the genocides, the premature deaths, the birth defects, the freedom that the devil has had to destroy what God loves and to say, wow, you know what? I will return to my father. If near my dad there is everything I need, if those who are further away with my dad eat, drink and enjoy themselves and look at me here, I am the son and I am eating carob beans, what pigs eat.

And God is waiting for humanity to wake up and say, wow, to come to, because humanity is enchanted, mesmerized by the eyes of the serpent. And for humanity to come to its senses and say, you know what? I am going to return to my father's house and I am going to humiliate myself to him. And you know what? God is not going to even wait for us to open our mouths, he is going to feel the heart of his creature that turns to him and immediately, at the speed of light or faster, he is going to seek reconciliation and he is going to say, here I am to bless you

But, that is what God wants and I know that it is coming and this is my point, because as I am not getting out of there, and it is the following, is that when that moment arrives God is going to need a church, a church that operates according to to his heart for her to exercise the authority that he needs her to exercise over the world. Because let me tell you, that in this dispensation, I am going to call it that, that God opens and that he is preparing to open for humanity, the church, his church, is going to have a very important administrative, governmental role to play.

I believe that the church of Jesus Christ in that era, that era that God wants to open, and first judgment will come and then the opening of that and I'm not sure, I'm being a little vague because I don't understand all the concatenations and relationships of one thing with the other, but, in this new era that is going to open, the church of Jesus Christ is going to rule over the nations and it is going to rule over intellectual, governmental, medical systems, laws, all those things, culture, The church is going to have a lot to say, it is going to be a truly mother church, an apostolic church, a church that the nations will come to ask the advice of the servants of the Lord. And if that church is not governing according to the Father's heart, it will fail the Father, it will not be able to exercise the authority that it has to exercise, in the way that God wants the church to exercise authority. And so that is why God is saying, my church, align yourselves with the principles of my word. I want to restore the guidelines of my word to the church so that you can then govern in my name and according to the principles of my word, according to the heart of my Son, so that you do not damage what I have for you and for the world . Am I clear?

And that is why we have to learn these principles from the word of God: how to use authority legitimately and how to submit to authority legitimately. The current church is not prepared, it is not qualified to exercise the authority that God wants to place in its hands. And that is why we spend all our time telling the Father, Lord, bring revival, Lord, send your Son, Lord, restore the government of the church, remove the shame from our heads, give your church the authority that your word promise. And God says, but if I give it to you, you're going to do, as we say in good Caribbean, a fool, you're going to do something stupid, you're going to damage the thing. I cannot give you authority until you learn to use authority, and until you learn to submit to authority.

I also believe that at that time when God wants to enter the church, the apostolic authority is going to be very important, the apostolic authority. That means that I believe that God wants to restore to the government of the church that type of eldership, people chosen by him, anointed by him, commissioned and endowed by him, in very deep contact with his heart and with his revelation who exercise authority in his name over the church and over the world, and that the church can go to that apostolic authority, receive his directives, receive revelation from the Father, that authority and transmit it to the church so that the church can then execute the orders of the Father. And the church then has to learn to take the head, which God has constituted.

Do you believe that this fragmented, denominational, rebellious church, each one, as Gregory says, like a lawless goat, everyone on their own, do you believe that this church is prepared to rule this earth, brothers? You believe that this church is prepared to submit to apostolic authority. Yes brothers, among 5 Christians there are 7 opinions, always. If anything that one determines here, as I said here in this church, thank you Lord, that problem does not exist, Promise's sister church does have those problems, but we don't. But here, brothers, any determination that is made, however timid it may be, often generates resistance, criticism, second and third and fifth opinions.

Do you think we are ready to rule the nations? No way. No way. We must first learn to submit to authority. That is why, as I tell you, God has put me in a trap with these sermons because I did not understand many things until I began to prophesy and preach them, that we, God says, my church, my people, says the Lord If you want, receive this as a prophecy, I am preparing to restore you and to put you in authority and I need you to prepare yourself because time is short, church, there is little time left, we have to go to war.

Time is drawing near, there is not much time to prepare as long as I would like, time has passed, the time for action has arrived, morning is about to wake up and there are only minutes left for you to enter into what you have to do and what you have to do. align with me, you have to learn to make war according to my methodology, you have to learn to live according to my model, my spirit, my heart, my mind, my way of thinking, you have to learn to reason as I reason, you have to learn to move like a well-formed, well-conceived army that moves according to the directives that come out of the brain, the head that is Christ, goes down by apostolic authority, continues through its pastors, its teachers and goes down to the congregational leader and It continues and reaches the home, and passes through the home to the son and runs through the corporations, the universities, the health centers, the schools, the seat of government, everything from the father, to the son, to the apostolic authority, to the The teacher pastors, prophets, Apostles, to the church, to the family, to the directors of corporations and different institutions, a whole system and the church has to learn, and in all of this the issue of authority is involved. Until the church learns to submit to authority, it cannot exercise authority.

And that is, I am not even going to touch the text or anything because I think that you and I have enough time there to think about what we have heard. But this is serious, brothers, it is very serious. I am either going crazy, or God is speaking to me, there is no alternative. We are entering a serious time in the life of the church of Jesus Christ and I tell you brothers, take off your diapers because the ugliest thing is an adult with a diaper and we are going to dress in the clothes of Christian adults, we are going to learn to what it is to be the body, the church of Jesus Christ, we are going to take seriously the Christian life.

What sister Carolina shared with you, and God sort of coordinated everything very well, is that, that these are serious times, this is not ironing clothes on Saturday night because I am going to this little party that I They give in León de Judá, from 12 to 2 in the afternoon. This is much more important, more serious than this, more sublime than this. There are angels who are listening to this preaching. Who knows if that angel that Carina saw hasn't left and is still right there standing there, listening to what I'm saying, looking over here right now. Who knows. And there's also the occasional demon out there sitting with a hookah in his mouth also sitting out there listening to all this. The Lord rebuke him in the name of Jesus.

Because it is serious, it is serious to belong to the Kingdom of God. I ask the Lord, Lord, burn me with the sense of reverence for your things, consume me with the sense of the seriousness of the ground that I am treading on. As God told Moses, remove your sandals from your feet because the place you step on is holy. And where a child of God walks today is a holy place. Your house is a holy place, your television is holy, your iPod is holy, your bed is holy, your kitchen is holy, the machine where you work from Monday to Friday is holy, your car is holy, your clothes are holy, understand where you are walking.

Church, the Lord tells you, things are getting serious and I'm going to ask the musicians to come by. Things get serious. God has given the volume a big turn around. We are in important times. I tell my musician brothers, their instruments are holy, time is holy. That three and a half times 25 holy, holy, serious, serious, serious, serious, serious, listen to me. Serious, serious, serious, serious.

It is so the Lord says and we have to, I ask the Lord, do not let us lose that revelation. Don't let us go back to business as usual, please, Father. Have mercy on us.

Everything becomes much more serious, the blessings can be millionths greater and also the judgment and the consequences, everything increases proportionally, everything, everything. The Lord wants to open our hearts and our minds so that we understand what we are saying, that I first pray to God to help me understand what I am saying this afternoon and we are going to ask the Lord, Father, give us what that you are going to give, give it to us and prepare us to receive it above all. What you are going to do, do it if you want to do it, but let us sully, stain, misuse what you put in our hands.

I ask the Lord, Father, never allow me, never, never if you put something in my hands I will dirty it for you. The only thing I ask of the Lord, if he is going to use us in any way that allows us to live up to what he puts in our hands, that he cleans us on the inside first and prepare us to be the people he needs us to be. let us be and be able to use his authority in a proper way, that glorifies him, that is in accordance with the principles of his kingdom, synchronized with the heart of God, synchronized with the program of God, synchronized with the mind of God, synchronized with the system of the God's Kingdom.

Help us Lord, help us, help us, Father, help us. Put your holy fear on us, put your holy mind on us, Lord, and do what you are going to do, Father. We ask you, Lord, we want to see your glory, it is not so much that you restore your church, it is not so much that you restore its dignity to your church, it is not so much that your church receives authority or power, it is that we want to see the glory of God manifested, we want to see the name of Jesus put on high, we want the Son to receive all the glory on earth that he deserves, we want the principles of the kingdom to govern this earth for as long as you want, we want to give glory to the Son, we want to raise up the Son so that everyone who looks towards him and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. We want to be a sign in the world, we want to be a humble and broken people, simple and meek who walk this earth with priestly clothes, reminding humanity that their Father loves them and that he wants reconciliation with them.

Help your church, Lord, to live up to what you have called it to move. And today we give you glory and honor Lord, today we tell you, Father, we recognize your glory and your greatness. Forgive us for not being more useful, forgive us for allowing us liberties we have no right to allow ourselves. Forgive us for being careless with your glory. Forgive us for being clumsy and misunderstanding what it means to walk in the holy place where there are the lampstands with the seven tubes through which the anointing oil of God flows, the flame of worship, the nearness of the most holy place, the sound of the priests' clothes rubbing against your body, the silence of the holy place, the beauty of the recordings on the walls that you yourself ordered and designed, the smell of incense. Forgive us for not discerning, Lord, where we move.

Help us to walk as your priests on this earth, Father. Break us, humble us, mold us, make us anew, Lord. Rebuild your church, work in this church, change it, Lord. The offering that we offer you is so poor, so weak, father, we ask your forgiveness. It is what we have, help us to give you more. We adore you, we bless you, Lord, we exalt you, we exalt you, we exalt you, we exalt you, we exalt you, Lord, we exalt you. We bless you, Lord Jesus. He is God, he is Lord and he needs his people to exemplify what a true relationship with him is before humanity. May the Lord help us to be the church that he needs us to be. We are very far from being that, but we are going to continue making an effort, we are going to continue working to make it so.

I would like to ask you, you dare to sing that hymn again loud and sublime, you can do it, let's listen to it brothers, in light of what we have received this afternoon, if you can, the third of Promise, stop by here. Come, let's listen to it and listen to it there in meditation and if you can, close your eyes, lower your head, receive this from the Lord... look at that high and sublime being, it is the God that we serve and that is the God that we have to deal with very careful.

Lord, help me who preaches this message, to live at that point, brothers, I am very far away, but I am going to keep trying and trying until I synchronize my life with what he needs.
