I am Jehovah Rafa, your healer

Let's go to the Word of the Lord for a moment. Do you know that we are going to have a health service this afternoon? And already God, he has done things here today. He has been present in a precious way. But this afternoon at 12 we are consecrating the 12 o'clock time to pray specifically for healing for the sick.

We always pray for healing, every Sunday we have ministering time. But there is a difference, I believe that this time, as never before, we have thrown it down as a challenge and we have said: we believe that God is a healer, God heals and we are going to put everything on that and we are going to dedicate this service specifically to seek the healing, miraculous anointing from God.

We invite you to come, even if you want to continue... this is the Lord's day, so if you want to come to the service at 12 come. I hope you want to come! and that we continue to celebrate this time. It's going to be something very special. The dense presence of God is already felt in our midst.

Do you know how many people have asked for prayer through the Internet? Since they know that we are going to have this health service, this afternoon, we invite people who want to send their names. And Omar and I on Wednesday or Thursday were talking maybe... "well maybe if there are ten people or maybe fifteen, let's mention their names one by one." People of little faith.

Omar, how many people have sent their names already…? 500 people from different parts of the world, from many different parts of the world, not only Latin America but other countries in the world; asking us to pray for them. They have given their names and have asked.

So there is a great invisible Congregation that you never see but they are there with us too and they receive Blessing and write to us continuously. That is part of the missionary work that God is making possible.

We thank God for the ministry of the minister who is ordained by ourselves, Dr. Ernst Diehl and his team, thanks to the volunteers who also work to make possible such a significant ministry that allows the Gospel to be taken to places you don't even know. even imagine.

Now there is, for example, a group, a radio station in El Salvador, that this week asked us to put the radio programs that are given here every day at seven in the morning for them to pass them through their station there in El Salvador. .

So there are many things like that, the programs, the sermons are happening in different ways.

Glory to the Lord. Everything is for the Glory of God.

But I am telling you for your encouragement, so that you believe that God is a faithful God and that while our Faith grows, God will do greater things.

I believe that this is only the beginning, but according to our faith, it will be done for us. According to your Faith, mine, our ability to participate and to give the Lord our time, our energies, God will do beautiful and beautiful things.

I want this morning to unite in spirit with what we are going to be doing at 12 o'clock and continue building our own Faith, proclaiming the Word of God regarding healing, prosperity and the Blessing that God makes possible through Jesus Christ.

I want us to remember, brothers, that Christ has said that the works that He did we can also do, and even greater.

And that, our Faith is the conduit, it is the instrument that God uses to spread his Blessing and that things have not changed. God is the same, yesterday, today and for all centuries.

This issue of healing that God wants to bring into our lives...

Do you know that healing is our heritage? Healing is our inheritance through Christ Jesus, we have the right to live healthy lives, aspire to healthy lives.

Do you know that the Christian life is not this grit your teeth until Christ comes and takes you out of this cruel world? The Christian life is a life of abundance and Amen, believe it or not. It is a life of abundance. Christ said. "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full."

I always live with the expectation that God is going to bless me more and more and sometimes I get into big trouble because I have so much faith in the Lord and so much belief that God has called me to do feats, God has called me to knock down giants , God has given me everything I need to do his work here on Earth and to be prosperous. And that's for you too.

'According to your faith, it will be done to you', says the Word of the Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ said to Martha: "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" and Marta was there telling him: "Yes, Lord, I know that Lazarus will rise again when the day of judgment comes…" "No," the Lord told him, "I want to raise him now, today, right now." And if you believe, you will see the glory of God manifested.

Many of us are used to the generic blessing of God. A general blessing, but Christ wants a specific blessing for our needs, our situations, our struggles, our problems. There is blessing for the children of God. It doesn't matter that you are going through difficult times, many of us are going through difficult times but I believe that victory belongs to the Lord, always. When we go through the trials, the tribulations, I believe that God can bring me out of it with victory. God is not going to allow me to be defeated.

This work that we are undertaking there in Dedham, it came to my Ministry, it came into my life in an unsolicited way and God has been putting us in a moral and spiritual commitment with that congregation in a sense of... but brothers I never I wanted to go back When God allows a challenge to come into my life, I examine it and if it is God, I say Amen, present, I know that You are going to give me victory.

That church has already tried, on three different occasions, to get out of the difficult situation they have been in.

Three times. The three times they have failed, they were already willing to give everything, a beautiful property that they have there. Three beautiful buildings in a very strategic area of the city of Derahm and they were already willing to give up the spirit as we say, but I have encouraged them in the name of Jesus.

He told them 'No, try one more time. We are going to commission this young man, who is a man of God, he has studied in a seminary, he has prepared himself; He has an entrepreneurial spirit, a beautiful family, loves the Lord. We will support you in the name of Jesus. Try one more time."

And I believe that God is not going to let us be ashamed. They have done it there with fear and a little grudgingly but I have dared to tell them: 'Try it, God won't let us look bad'. And I believe that God is not going to let us look bad. I think this time is the charm.

They say that the third time is the charm. Well this time, the fourth time's the charm.

But I believe that when God is present, brothers, when we undertake things in the name of Jesus and there is prayer, and there is support, there is spirit flowing, things get done.

God did not call us to failure, God called us to success, to blessing and that is why we dare to do things. We get into trouble and God gets us out of it...somehow. Smelling of smoke but it gets us out of them.

When Peter saw Jesus walking on the waves, Peter who was daring and had a spirit of faith told him: "Lord, make me walk on the water too" and the Lord told him "Well if you dare, get into the water ". And Peter began to walk but his faith did not give him at that moment, he saw the waves, heard the roar of the wind, he began to sink and... the Lord told him "Well, Peter, that is your problem. You got in trouble now get out you from him. I'll see you there in Heaven when I arrive."

No, the Lord reached out and took him out and put him in the boat.

That means that when we undertake things sometimes, and sometimes we undertake things that are beyond our capacity, our faith, but if we do it to glorify God, the Lord takes care of getting us out of trouble, you know?

When our heart is pure, when our heart is good for the Lord and we want to see his glory, even sometimes when we mess it up a little, the Lord blesses us and brings us forward and does not allow us to be ashamed.

Never say 'No' to a challenge that comes from God for your life because you don't have what you need. Believe that the Lord is powerful to provide what is necessary. And I think at this moment - don't worry, I'm already in the sermon - I think when... the disciples came from Jesus Christ and said "Lord, the crowd, time has passed, it's night, the crowd needs to eat, send them home to let them eat and find what they can".

They were in the middle of an open field and they had no place to go and what the Lord told them, he told them: "You give him something to eat." "Us? How are we going to feed that huge crowd? There isn't even money and even if there was money, there isn't a super stop & shop around here where we can buy so much food for so many people." And the Lord said to them, "Well, what's between you? Look there. What's in the crowd?"

They searched, they took out five loaves and two fish that must already smell like monkeys fleeing out there at that time of afternoon with the heat that it was. And the Lord said: "Give me that" and took the loaves and fish, raised them up to Heaven, blessed them and what happened? They received enough food to feed the whole crowd, and there was still some left over. Meaning that when the Lord tells us to 'Do something', don't worry if you have the resources or not, obey the Lord. Do it in the name of Jesus and the Lord will bless.

This afternoon we are getting into trouble because we are saying that God is a healing God and that God works miracles and like Peter we have started walking on the sea but I believe that the Lord is going to bless us.

Because God does not allow his children to be ashamed. God is going to heal, God is going to do signs and wonders. His spirit is going to be with us because when He puts something in our hearts, He makes sure that the provision comes. Even if we don't have it in ourselves, He provides it. Because everything is with the spirit of the Lord.

And I believe that this is the position, the attitude from which God has called us. That is what I see throughout all of Scripture, that great blessing that God has for us.

Look for example at Deuteronomy, chapter 7, that's everywhere in the Bible. It is healing, it is health, it is abundance, it is prosperity, it is having enough to do all that God wants and needs us to do, including living powerful and blessed lives.

Chapter 7 of Deuteronomy beginning with the eleventh verse and look how many times the blessing of God, the healing of God, the prosperity of God is tied to keeping his commandments. That's why I say, when we say 'Yes, God is going to bless you materially, God is going to bless you financially; but there is a commandment: "Give your tithe to the Lord." You cannot expect to be blessed in your finances if you are not keeping the commandment to give the Lord what the Lord deserves.

There is a link between honoring God, obeying God, and God's blessing.

It says in verse 11 of Deuteronomy 7: "Keep therefore the commandments, statutes and decrees that I command you to fulfill today."

And the book of Deuteronomy has a lot of those commandments, statutes and decrees. That is, there was a diversity of laws and commandments that God gave to his people in different forms and the idea is 'guard'. That is, we have to be diligent, careful in keeping those commandments that God has given us.

And look at what verse 12 says: "And for having heard these decrees and having kept them" Why? Because many hear but do not do. right yes?

Say Amen, say 'I am one of them'.

It says: "For having heard these decrees and having kept them", when you keep the decrees, the commandments, when you walk according to what God has said, and what a great struggle that is, brother!

I say as the Apostle Paul says: 'Brothers, I confess to you that I die every day. Every day I battle for what my flesh wants to do and for what the Word of God tells me to do.' A continuous fight. But you have to keep the commandments of the Lord, you have to do what God says.

The flesh says: "Go that way because it's faster, easier", the Holy Spirit says "It's not that way". Even if it takes more time, but go there, because there is blessing and there is success.

Then he says: "Because you have heard and kept them, the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and mercy that he swore to your fathers." In other words, it's like a contract. A contract that God has written and that He asks you to sign because He has already signed it.

So when you do your part of that contract, the Lord says: "You know what? I'm going to keep my part, then. I'm going to bless you, I'm going to prosper you, I'm going to heal you. I'm going to give authority to your word and you will see blessings that will come into your life".

It is so, brothers, we must live in integrity towards God and if God is going to use us and unleash the great things that I know He wants to unleash on His people at this time, we are going to have to make a faithful vow.

God wants people consecrated to the Lord.

Brothers, as God's anointing falls on the Lion of Judah, we are going to change. That tiger look that some of us have is going to have to go and be replaced by a soft, healthy and pleasant look. The nails will begin to be cut. The little suits are going to have to be a little longer and maybe a little looser, too. And men are also going to have to... those who have been given the grace by God to have something that tempts someone... well, they are also going to have to dress him correctly. But the idea is that this is part of healing, brothers, this is part of a people that walks under the blessing of God.

God is going to ask for a holy people, a people that is capable of... that His grace runs through us. And I know that God wants to do that, God wants a people consecrated to Him. And then we are going to see that He will keep the pact that He made with us and the mercy that He swore to our fathers -to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob- running through the lineage of Jesus down to us. Because all this was written and why is it here in the Bible? It's not for us to look and see Oh! an archaeological document from thousands of years ago.

No! That is for us today. Say 'TODAY' with me. Say 'FOR ME', this is for us and this is for today... these blessings.

And it says here then: "And he will love you." Look what are the blessings to which we are entitled. The first is that: the love of God. "And he will love you, bless you and multiply you and bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land. Your grain, your must, your oil, the young of your cows and the flocks of your sheep in the land that he swore to what would your parents give you?

Today, the Lord would perhaps use other images, He would say: "He will bless your bank account, he will bless your closet, he will bless your car, he will bless your pantry. He will bless your work, he will bless your body, he will bless your children. He will bless your house, he will bless the where you work. It will bless the neighborhood where you live, the building where you live."

God's blessing will be there because you are present. When you pray for your neighborhood, God's blessing will flow through the streets where you live. And if there is violence or there is dysfunction and neurosis and conflict; by your prayer, those areas will be blessed. That is what the Lord says.

He then says: "Blessed you will be more than all the peoples. There will not be a male or a sterile female in you, nor in your livestock."

For me, when I hear that language it complicates my life. Because either God was overreacting and elated at the time or He meant what He was saying and I have to believe it.

It says here "There will be no sterile male or female." There it says so and that means, brother, I know that, look for some reason, things... but I have to believe what the word of the Lord says. And why do things happen? I don't know. But I prefer to focus on the promise of the Lord, that we will bear fruit in abundance, that God will bless the womb, that God will bless our reproductive system; that our children will grow and be multiplied, we will fill the cities.

The liberals do not want to give birth, they have a child there or 1.2 because they do not want to share their money and are very efficient in everything.

I say, look, let's fill the Earth with our children, children who believe in the Lord, who love God. We are going to overwhelm them with simply our productivity, we are going to leave them in the minority. We are going to be the majority simply by having many children.

"The Lord will provide", add more water to the soup, God will bless. I believe that there is a blessing, I believe that God is saying here "There is no sterility." God, everything that You touch there will be produce, there will be fruit, there will be blessing. That disease of sterility "I will heal it," he says. "And the Lord will take away from you"... what? "every disease" Do you see the promise there? "And the Lord will take away from you all sickness."

Why do we have so much sickness today, and so many plagues, and so many bad things in this world?

I believe brothers, I submit that it is to the extent that we move away from the perfect center of God. To that extent, we open our bodies and our cities and our villages and our families to disease.

I believe that if man consecrated himself completely to God, humanity, the disease would gradually disappear until we would live in the glory of God, a healthy people full of health. And I believe brothers, the only thing I can say is that to the extent that we live within the will of God and fill our minds with the word of God, we meditate on the word, we remove a number of polluting things that are in our houses that we read and see and think about. To the extent that our life is filled with the power of God an expectation of blessing prosperity, we fill our thoughts with positive expectations, positive confessions on our lips, we speak the word of God, we serve the Lord, we let God fill our homes, there is health and there is blessing in our homes.

There may be a disease, of course, yes, but we can pray God blesses and if there are other types of diseases, God knows, we inhabit a very fallen, very impure world. But what God was saying to the people of Israel was, 'Look to the extent that you allow my person, my word to fill your nation, to that extent the disease will decrease each day'.

We inhabit a very impure world, very very impure and that is why I believe there are so many diseases and we ourselves suffer the consequences of our own decisions. And let's not complicate life too much, the fact is that the promise... I prefer to live in the positive. It says here: "The Lord will take away", he is speaking in the future, "from you all disease to the extent that you keep my word and all the bad plagues of Egypt that you know"

Egypt is the world that does not know God, the world that does not admit the truth of God and that all those diseases, all those plagues. He says: "If you are a chosen people, I will diminish, each day the presence of the disease will become thinner and thinner in your home, in your homes, in your family, and I will raise up a healthy people, an energetic people, a strengthened people".

A people with a lucid and healthy mind, thinking. That I believe are the blessings of walking in the ways of the Lord and keeping his commandments. "All the evil plagues of Egypt that you know he will not put on you but will put them on all who hate you."

So, brother, look at one of those blessings there. Even in the Old Testament, God was saying: "Blessing and healing is coming for your life, if you follow me."

And I say the following, brothers, if that first pact that was such an imperfect pact, the pact of the law, the pact through symbols only like sacrifices and rams and symbols of the temple that was simply an endurance in what was coming the true covenant, the new covenant of Christ Jesus. If that first pact was of so much blessing and of so much promise, how will it not be the pact now that we have in Christ Jesus! Much better, much greater, much more complete, much more encompassing, and that is what the word of the Lord continually says.

Look, brother, one thing is clear all through the Bible - I don't have the time it would take, I could spend a couple of hours here teaching you and tracing through all the scripture all the promises.

One of the things that I can say about this is that the presence of God, the coming of the kingdom of God, the entrance of the kingdom of God and the truth of the Gospel to a home, to a community, to a nation, is always accompanied with promises of healing and health. As well as health and healing for finances and for emotions and for the spirit. Always.

It is not possible that the presence of God is in a community and there is not health and prosperity and blessing. One thing is always accompanied by the other.

Look at another interesting passage: Isaiah chapter 53, I'm going to just skip a few in what we have a little bit more time left. Isaiah 53, verse 4.

This passage is a prophetic, messianic passage that talks about what the Messiah was going to accomplish through his crucifixion on the Cross. Verse 4, Isaiah 53 says, "Surely He carried" - who is He? Christ Jesus- "our infirmities and suffered" what? "our pains and we had him whipped, by the Son of God and dejected. But he was wounded for our rebellions, crushed for our sins and the punishment of our peace was on him and by his sore " -what?- " We were cured." "By his stripes we are healed".

He's talking in the past tense about something that hadn't even happened yet to add to the sense of certainty and something definitive.

For the sores, for the wounds that the Lord suffered on the Cross.

On the Cross of Calvary it says that the Lord stripped the Principalities, the powers, annulled the act of decrees that was contrary to us.

The devil is the origin of disease, he is the origin of poverty, he is the origin of depression, he is the origin of oppression.

And when the Lord defeated the works of the devil and undid the works of the devil on the Cross, he unleashed a blessing on us.

By neutralizing the industry of evil, He opened the possibility for us to dwell in blessing and health.

That's why I tell you, brother, fill your mind every day with images of health. Don't be there waiting for a decrepit old age, because if you wait for it... it will come to you.

Fill your mind with images of being a dangerous old man, an old lady with her miniskirt and her pretty lipstick that... looks good (laughs).

How many sisters can say amen to that?

general laughs

Sisters, brothers do not anticipate a decrepit old age. Anticipate an old age of joy, of joy. Isn't that right, sister? Amen. Hallelujah!

If you are thinking that you are going to be there talking nonsense and that nobody is going to want to see you or talk to you about that... your prophecy is going to come true. But believe that God is going to bless you and you are going to see how God's blessing is going to come into your life.

And bless your body, bless your muscles, bless your nervous system, bless your brain that it doesn't dry out... but that it grows and is prosperous and blessed. Bless your body.

I like to take a tour of all parts of myself and bless them in the name... and anticipate God's blessing, God's healing, God's health, God's vigor and strength in all areas of my life .

And just as God promises blessing, you also fill your mind with an expectation of power and victory. Anything the devil throws at you, hit it home run and run it out the field, brother.

That is what God wants because the Lord made it possible. The Lord said: "To rob a strong man, you must first bind him."

The devil is the one who dominates the wickedness of the world, and disease and all these things. And Christ bound him through the power of his blood on the poured out Cross of Calvary. And we can, then, get behind Jesus and with Him lead an easier, more blessed, more prosperous life, brothers.

Dolphins sometimes get behind a boat that is going very fast in the sea because apparently that boat that is going very fast creates a current that when they get in they can be more economical in the use of their forces and can swim faster behind of the boat

They are intelligent, they are not created. And you know what? I see Christ that way. Christ is like that strong boat with a motor and power that goes before me and when I get behind the wave that He creates, I can go through life much faster and my efforts are multiplied and blessed.

What cost me an investment x of energy now costs me x minus ten, and then I have more energy to do more things. It is the secret of the Christian life. Get behind what Christ accomplished. Get behind the work that the Lord achieved on the Cross and live your life swimming behind Him, much more economically and easier. And you will see that the little that you have will yield you much more than the much that others have without Jesus Christ.

There are many precious, precious passages.

Look one more, let's go back to Exodus chapter 15.

One of the beautiful and poetic passages.

Exodus chapter 15 where the Lord healed the bitter waters of Mara. It is that the Bible is full of passages of healing and blessing. Wherever we see that, it assails us... what happens is that we forget and that is why I thank the Lord that on this day and we will continue to do so more and more every day, we can meditate on these passages.

That is why this year we have declared a year of preaching about faith to increase the faith of God's people because that is what God wants for us at this time.

Chapter 15, verse 22. Look at this precious image here of healing, it says: "I made Moses divide Israel from the Red Sea and they went out into the desert of Shur and walked three days in the desert without finding water."

In life there are tests, brothers, perhaps right now you are going through a time of illness, some marital problem, some family problem, some emotional health problem. Many times we arrive at places where there is no water. Many times in our life we arrive at places of sterility and desert. The question is what are we going to do when we get to those bad times? When the bad day comes to our lives, are we going to let our guard down and fall down and get depressed or are we going to take the resources that are in the word of God and make war for our blessing?

It says "they came to Mara and could not drink the waters of Mara because they were bitter".

What does one do when life is bitter? What does one do when depressions, difficulties, losses, struggles in life come? When things get mara, bitter. That's why they named her Mara.

"So the people murmured against Moses," that's what we often do. We murmur against God, we bitter against God.

We say 'God is not faithful, God does not keep what he promises' and we secretly make a resolution in our mind not to serve God as much as we did before the problem came.

We say 'Oh no! everything's fine. I love the Lord. Yes, Glory to God. I know but, lie, within us there is a little root of bitterness that... enters there and we are no longer so faithful in serving the Lord.

Instead of looking for a solution in Christ. Instead of doing... taking the resources that are in the Word and in the promise of God.

"And Moses cried unto Jehovah." That is what we have to do, cry out to the Lord, seek God's anointing, seek the blessing. "And Jehovah showed him a tree and cast it into the waters." And what happened? And the waters sweetened and there he gave them statutes and ordinances and there he tested them and said... look again, brother, that promise, that tree, that situation that they found there, I think it was a symbol that God wanted to leave for all generations.

Because God is like that, he is a Teacher, He allows us to sometimes go through situations in our lives to teach us something.

He wanted to set a precedent in Scripture that many generations through the years could go to the Word and find there an eloquent, poetic, and beautiful promise of God's healing power to heal any situation in our lives. That is why now the Lord gives them the explanation of what they have just experienced and seen and tells them: "If you listen attentively to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes", again the thing is to hear and do and obey, "and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes"... what does he say? ..."none of the diseases I sent to the Egyptians I will send to you".

Because? Because I am Jehovah what? your HEALER. Glory in the name of the Lord. Glory in the name of the Lord. Amen.

"I am Jehovah your healer."

Have you heard the expression: Jehovah Rafa? It is one of the names of God. That's where that expression comes from: Jehovah your healer. There is Jehovah Giré: your provider; Jehovah Nisi: Jehovah your banner. This is Jehovah Rafa, which means Jehovah who heals you. Jehovah your healer.

He told them 'just as I healed those waters, that for me is nothing. If you obey me and if you pay attention to my Commandments and walk in them, you know what? 'Not only will I heal the waters, I will heal their emotions, I will heal their minds, I will heal their bodies, I will heal their finances, I will heal their children, I will heal their land. Because I am Jehovah and I specialize in healing. Everything I touch, I heal. All that is darkness and tragedy I turn into light and blessing. Where God is there is healing. Where God is there is health, where God is there is life, where God is there is abundance, brothers and that is why He told you here 'I am Jehovah, your healer.

If you are a people who follow me and you live within my blessing and commandments, I will take away all the cancer and all the plagues and all the diseases that I put on the nations that do not serve me, I will not put them on you. You will be a healthy people, a healthy people, a blessed people.

Brothers, there is so, so much.

One last, look for Isaiah... let's go to Isaiah chapter 61:1,2; I'm going to end with this. Isaiah again, a prophet who specialized in predicting things about the Messiah, spoke about the Ministry of the Messiah and who better interprets the Bible than Jesus Christ himself who wrote it.

So, Isaiah said something that if I were the one interpreting it as applying to Jesus people would say 'No, you're stretching the Word, because it doesn't say anything in there that is Jesus.' But the Lord who knew what had been written and why it had been written applied this passage to himself when he began his public ministry. This passage says: "The spirit of the Lord, the Lord is upon me because the Lord anointed me and has sent me to preach good news to the downcast."

Look how comprehensive is the message and the salvific, healing, blessing ministry of Christ Jesus. "To preach good news to the downcast."

Why is it called Gospel? Gospel means what? good news, good news.

"To preach good news to the despondent, to bind up the brokenhearted, to announce liberty to the captives and the opening of jail to the prisoners. To proclaim the good year, the year of Jehovah's goodwill." So far the Lord Jesus Christ quoted him. Why didn't you mention the rest? Because the rest was irrelevant at the time. The day of revenge, that too, but the Lord wanted...

Look now in Luke Chapter 4 how the Lord interpreted that. He meant my ministry is a ministry of blessing. He also comes in judgment and everything else that is there but at that time He wanted to highlight his mission to bless and prosper and heal.

So when He is invited in His first recorded, public speech in His ministry after being baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit and tested in the desert.

Now the Lord when they invite him to his first public preaching, so to speak, He takes the book of Isaiah.

That passage from Isaiah 61 verses 1 and 2 if you read it again with all its words: He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor, material blessing, healing the brokenhearted - that's emotional blessing - freedom to the captives that It is for drug addicts and addicts to different types of mental and emotional ties, sight to the blind, I see there physical freedom and freedom for the oppressed from spiritual, demonic oppression. There it covers the whole range of possible deficiencies that man... and to complete it all he says: "to preach the acceptable year of the Lord". In other words: if I missed something, put it there in that last one.

The pleasant year of the time of forgiveness, healing, the repayment of debts and lands that had been pledged; the slaves had been set free, the land was laid to rest. It was a time of celebration and blessing and making right all that was crooked.

The Lord said you know what? He sent me to publish the year of the good will of the Lord.

And then it says: "And rolling up the book he gave it to the minister and he sat down and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him." They were waiting, what is this man going to say? and he began to tell them 'Today ladies and gentlemen, this scripture has been fulfilled before you.' In other words, what the prophet Isaiah said about that human being, that is me and that is going to be my ministry and that is my vision and mission to make these things possible.

Brother, that is what Christ does in your life and mine.

I'm going to ask the musicians to stop by for a moment, please.

That is what God wants to do in your life and mine. It is all of this, all of this... I pray to the Lord that today be a day in which we warm up that part of our spiritual life, our heritage as a church.

I ask the Lord that you leave here this day with a refreshed mind and with a reconfirmed and rekindled promise within your spirit that God has called you to live a life of blessing, joy and prosperity.

Take off your mourning cloak in the name of Jesus. Today take off the cloak of mourning, take off the cloak of condemnation, take off the cloak of defeat, take off the cloak of illness, take off the cloak of expectation of tragedy, failure, destruction and dress yourself in the cloak of joy.

Dance before God, give voices of joy, sing the barren, and believe that God has called her to live in a family because many more are the children of the homeless than the married says the Lord.

In Jesus' name, brethren, let's embrace that promise, that call to live a life of active blessing in Jesus' name right now.

Through this word that I have preached, I activate in your life that spirit of faith and in my life that spirit of faith that says 'I believe that I have the victory'. I believe that God has not called me to defeat or failure. God has called me to victory, to joy, to prosperity, to a blessing for mine, for my descendants.

God tells me 'You are going to be blessed and you are going to be a blessing to others, too. I'm going to give you so you can share, I'm going to give you so you can lend and you don't have to borrow. I am going to give you so that you are the head and not the tail. I am going to give you so that your womb is fertile and you can produce enough for yourself and for others as well.'

Stand up now, in the name of Jesus and receive this fresh impartation of the spirit of God.

Say 'this is for me'. Say 'this is for me, this is for me. I receive it in the name of Jesus.'

Father I declare that your people are impregnated, your people are impregnated with a spirit of faith this morning, thank you that you have called us a blessing.

Oh Lord! Thank you because You have not given us a measuring spoon. Oh Lord! You have given us a hose full of blessings and promises. You say 'open your mouth, I'm going to fill it. Open your womb, I am going to impregnate you with great and powerful things'.

I declare a blessing on your family, I declare a blessing on your home, I declare a blessing on your children. I declare a prosperous and blessed church. I declare a mother church that will give birth to many more churches and thousands and thousands of children throughout the Earth.

I declare a church that will proclaim the word of God to correct and make straight and rectify the crooked. I declare a town that is like a showcase that outsiders look into it and see the fulfillment of all the positive promises of God and say "truly the Lord is with them."

I cancel every curse, I cancel every accusation of the devil, I cancel every crooked mind, I cancel every spirit of doubt in the name of Jesus and timidity, now.

My brother, my sister, receive new strength from the Lord. Receive a renewed mind.

I ask you to be very attentive and act with me right now cooperate with me and say "this is for me, I receive it". "This is for me and I activate it within me. This is for me and I receive that impregnation of God's spirit in my life."

And I say, today rivers of living water run from my interior. Hallelujah.

My eyes narrow, my eyes clear. My spiritual gaze clears and I can see more clearly what God promises for my life and I can feel it more clearly. Brothers I declare prosperity and blessing. Those wells are opened in the name of Jesus. Those dry wells open up, new waters begin to flow. Fresh waters run from the depths and fill those dry wells.

In the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord. We receive fresh water from you, Lord.
