When the eternal touches the internal, it transforms the external

Isaiah Chapter 40 verse 28. I am sure that it is a passage that many of us are familiar with, but the Scripture says: “Don't you know, haven't you heard – I'm reading from the new international version in case you see different words there – that The Lord is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth, he does not get tired or fatigued and his intelligence is unfathomable?

Let me read that part again: "The Lord is the everlasting God."

I want you to tell the person next to you the following, tell them: 'When the eternal touches the internal, it transforms the external.' It sounds like a tongue twister, I know, but it's here, make no mistake. Again, concentrate well: 'When the eternal touches the internal, it transforms the external.' OK. They can sit.

Wow! You are full of energy today. I feel energized now. Thank my Lord.

Look, brothers, this topic is a topic that the Lord has been cooking in my head and my heart for several weeks now, and this topic arose from one of the sermons I gave on a Wednesday night.

That in fact, I make a parenthesis brothers: those of you who can arrive on Wednesday nights to the prayer service, my brothers, the Lord is moving here in an exorbitant way, extraordinary so to speak. So if you have the opportunity to get an hour, an hour and a half, look at that, it's a blessing. It's something that recharges their batteries throughout the week. So keep that in mind. I close the parenthesis.

But through those messages that I have been preaching, the Lord put this in my heart and there is something very important that I want to share with you in the time that I have left. But in this sentence there is a secret that is immersed in this, which perhaps is not so secret, but it is something that is very simple and profound at the same time. But that dynamic that 'when the eternal touches the internal transforms the external' this is a dynamic that comes from the heart of God.

What do I mean? What is the implication of all this? Look, the eternal is everything that refers to God. That is the eternal. If you look up the definition of the word "eternal" in the dictionary, eternal means something that has neither beginning nor end, something that is persistent, something that is constant, something that does not give up, something that is in constant search all the time. time and nothing and no one can stop it. That is the meaning of the eternal.

And as far as I know, in the entire world where we live, the only thing that contains that capacity or the only one that contains that definition is found in God. God's attributes distinguish him as an eternal God. That passage that we just read in Isaiah is the basis of everything. The Lord Jehovah is the everlasting God.

There is another passage that says that with eternal mercy I remembered you, picked you up, restored you, raised you up... God's mercies are new every morning. All of this implies that it is something that is new, constant, it is maintained, it remains, and although perhaps for a moment one kind of 'put the legs in' and the Lord sort of 'failed again' but with eternal mercy once again he comes back and picks it up and restores it and encourages him to keep going.

Those are the characteristics of God. It is more John 3:16 what does it mean? I say how does John 3:16 say? "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

No one can give eternal life, more than He. So these are attributes that contain what God is. God is an eternal being. But with everything and that he is an eternal being, He has the desire and the intention to invade the internal world. Whose inner world? Of you and me. The inner world of the human being. That is God's desire to invade everything that we are.

Now this internal world also has a number of attributes and characteristics. In Jeremiah it is said "the heart is deceitful more than anything else", who can understand it? Only the eternal God can understand it. Today you may be thinking one thing and when you go out there at the door you will be thinking something totally different.

Today you can say to your husband or wife: 'My love, how beautiful you look!' and in the afternoon you are going to say 'Eesh! What happened?' or in the morning, rather, when you wake up with all the smells of morning, right? One yawns and 'my love, how are you?', 'Hg! Yes I love you'. Deceitful is the heart more than anything else. Thank God that God is the only one who understands it.

It is more in the inner being, my brothers, there are times when something happens that I have identified as "schizophrenia of the soul" so to speak and I am not saying it in negative terms but it is something that shows what happens in the inner being . How many of you remember Paul's words in Romans Chapter 7? Where Paul is saying about that internal struggle that is within him. That he says: 'I don't understand what's happening to me, because I don't do what I want, I only do those things that I hate. That's what I do'.

And if I keep reading, now, 'if I do what I don't want, I agree that the law is good, but in that case it is no longer me who does it but the sinner who is in me. Now, I know that in me - in my sinful nature - there is nothing good. Although I wish to do good but I am not able to do good. I don't know, but reading these words I already confuse myself. What revolution does he have in his head, there?

But this is something that shows, my brothers, what happens in the inner being, in the inner world of each one of us; that today we are yes and tomorrow we are no; that today we are more or less and I do not know what happens next. But they are things that happen in our inner being. It is a dynamic that is there and obviously when I am talking about the "external"; Externally, I mean the world in which we live, the society in which we live, the jobs we get into, the grocery stores where we shop, the schools where our children study or where you prepare for university, the bank where you stand in line to cash your check. All those things are the world around us.

The music we hear, 'Pegado de Cristo' that's like the "concón de Cristo". He had to use an expression like that. But that is what happens in the world in which we are, my brothers, the music we listen to, all that influences our lives.

Now, there's something that I want to apply, because I'm going to come to a point with this. There is a dynamic that occurs between these worlds. In the eternal world - and I want to be very visual so that you can understand what I am saying - the eternal world has always had this desire to connect with that internal world of our lives.

If you realize the center of that circle emanates this white light and for me that implies what the word says 'that we are created and made in the image of God'. Therefore there is something in us, there is an essence in us and that is why I identified it as that light there in the same medium.

Now, but in the outer circle, what is there? A black shadow. Those are the black and dark areas of our sinful nature that one way or another that is where you see that dynamic of "schizophrenia of the soul" that these two personalities are in constant struggle and fight for "who is going to dominate more than who".

This morning I was saying it is like having two puppies in my house and the one that I feed the most is the one that will earn the most, the one that will get stronger. If I feed my meat, well, my meat is going to dominate and that black circle is going to get bigger and the light in the middle is going to go out. Now if I feed that spirit, that essence of God that is in me, that light is going to shine and it is going to grow in such a way that that sinful influence in me is going to look more and more attached to the edges until it is undone. completely.

Now the interesting thing is – that yellow arrow that you see there – that there is a constant struggle between the eternal and the internal. There is always a struggle between the intentions that God has with each one of us and how we respond to that intention of God. And this is where I say that the fire burns, so to speak, because in that fight my brothers is that we can see if that light that is inside grows or weakens.

In how we can respond to that treatment of God in the midst of our lives, how God can work in us in one way or another. That is where we are going to see if that internal being that is there truly yearns and wants to follow what is stored in the eternal or if it is only going to be carried away then by the influences of the external world in which we are. And this is something that is in constant communication.

In that world of the eternal, my brothers, there are a series of secrets, there are a series of mysteries that God longs for and wishes to reveal to each one of us in some aspect of our lives, at some stage of our lives.

If you look at the parable of the sower, I don't know how many of you are familiar with the parable of the sower- but when Jesus first spoke the word of the sower and I'm referring to Matthew chapter 13. The first time he said that parable his disciples came to him aside and asked him: 'Jesus, why do you speak to people in parables? People are not understanding you' and Jesus allowed his disciples to answer: 'To you – that is, to the disciples – the secrets of the kingdom of God are made known to them, but to those who have not wanted to receive that truth, they are hidden'.

Therefore, my brothers, I hear a word like this, I give glory to God because we who have decided to receive that treatment from God, God makes us known, God makes us reveal those secrets that He has kept in his heart for each one of us.

But the dynamics of us... the beauty of our being able to live in the light of those secrets will depend on how we respond to that treatment of God.

Are they following me here? Let me narrow this down a bit more. What does this refer to with us as the Lion of Judah? What is Pastor Omar talking about? Look, without a doubt, throughout these last 25 years of the history of the León de Judá Congregation, God has had a very direct relationship with our church.

God has had a very direct deal with each one of us. Since this church began in its beginnings there in the Corpus Center from there moving to Cambridge and from Cambridge crossing the river and coming here, God has had certain dealings with this church. God has allowed this church to reach depths in the spiritual dimension that others have not been able to enjoy, that others have not been able to experience.

And I want my brothers to be very clear that when I am talking about the church, I am not talking about the structure of this building. When I speak of church, I mean each one of us, because you are the ones who make up the church... You here, just the way you are, just the way you are, you are the church. With your flaws and your virtues, you are the church.

When you walk out those doors, the church doesn't end, the church continues because: you are the church. So get that right: you are the church.

Therefore through all these years, God has had a deal with what is the León de Judá Congregation, and different facets, in different ways of our lives, God has been and ministering in their lives. I can look around this room here and I know that different people here have experienced a transformation from God in one way or another.

You have experienced the blessing, the touch of God in the midst of your lives in some form or another. Things perhaps as simple as not having to eat and suddenly someone showed up and left a purchase right there at the door of his house. Or the mere fact, or something as big and as powerful as that they were about to evict you from your house and God worked in a miraculous way and you were given permission to stay in your house and not only that, but they allowed you buy a car, too. I don't know. An example.

Things as beautiful and precious as seeing families that were arriving here that were breaking into songs; that the wife was leaving her husband bald because she was pulling his hair out and the husband because perhaps he couldn't stand the wife anymore and seeing those families that come here and are transformed, renewed and now they are solid, beautiful, precious families that adorn the life of this church and that adorn the kingdom of God.

God is doing things and I have no doubt about it. But, there is something else the Lord wants to do. There is something else that the Lord wants to bring to this church and here I want to refer, my brothers, to the message that Pastor Miranda preached last Sunday. I'm sure most of you got to hear that message if you were here. If you haven't heard it, please go online and listen to that message from last Sunday.

But that message, my brothers, made my knees shake and I'm going to explain why. The mere fact that I hear our Pastor say that this church has not yet reached the level that God wants it to reach and that even on top of that he says that this church is not prepared to receive what God has. You have to pay attention.

Do you know why I say this my brothers? Because if I see everything that this church has managed to achieve, I'm going to say to myself, "How am I going to do it?" Everything that this church does, the people that this church has managed to bless, the people that have been restored. So many things that I start to think and listen that we are not there yet? Wow! That is strong, my brothers, because that requires a level of dedication, a level of submission on our part to what God wants to do and as if to say misfortune to the mysteries and secrets that God has kept in his mind and heart for us. although we do not know them.

Look, there is a very beautiful passage in Isaiah 42, the Lord is saying through the prophet: “I am announcing new things to you, they will soon come to light. You will not know it but they are already on the way to happen. And it is very interesting my brothers because when I hear words like that, I say to myself 'what has happened to this day?'.

And I liked the illustration that Pastor Miranda used last Sunday when he said that what we have lived and experienced to this day has been all through a veil. You put a veil on your face and maybe you can see the other side but in a blurry way, trying but not seeing things as they are.

Now once that veil is removed and removed, well, our eyes open to a totally clear, new dimension, where one can see things with a level of detail, with a level of perfection. And when you do that, your life then feels even more complete, your life even feels even more useful in a certain way because by being able to discern things better, one can then proceed in a more accurate way with what one has to do. do.

And I understand my brothers that this is part of the deal of what God is wanting to do with us today and this, as exciting and adventurous as it may sound, is not going to be easy my brothers. And I am saying this with great caution, with great respect for each one of you, with respect before God, but I believe my brothers that this church is going to be stretched to a totally new level, beginning with the leadership of the Pastor.

Let me tell you why. Knowing Pastor Miranda for these last ten years that I have worked with him - and I say this with certainty, I know that he does not like to be talked about a lot - but I want to mention this because it can help us as church to process some things. When I heard the Pastor in the message last Sunday say that the call that God has for his life is prophetic and apostolic, that made me cry when I heard it.

But not to cry in the sense of doubt, to cry in the sense that 'finally' -finally as they say- there is a door that is opening here. Do you know why I understand that this was something difficult for the Pastor to mention? Because knowing our Pastor and I say this so that you know him, he is very cautious. He doesn't like to say a lot like that about himself, but when he gets to the point of saying something, it's because he understands that it's God's time to say it and that if he says it, it's because he recognizes the challenge and responsibility that it entails as well. .

you know? This is something I say very carefully but there are many people out there in the world where we live today who portray themselves as prophets and apostles. And you know what? Some of those people, I understand that they have a genuine call from God to exercise that type of ministry, this type of calling in the time in which we are living today. But there are others, my brothers, who do not give the degree. That they have called themselves without truly God having declared that -as they say- in the spiritual realms so that it becomes a reality in the world in which we live today.

I want to present an overview to you, my brothers, because part of this deal that God is having with us as a church, all of us are going to play a role in this, my brothers. All of us are going to have to support our Pastor in prayer now more than ever. If you prayed for the Pastor two or three days a week, I suggest that you pray for him now: 7 days a week, or more than 8 days a week, pray for the Pastor now.

Because I understand that the new dimension to which God is moving him is not easy. And he's going to need all the discernment there is in the spiritual world to know how to move into it. And why am I saying it, my brothers? Because as he moves in that direction there are going to be implications for us as a church, too.

We as a church are going to have a responsibility to know how to respond to this new call, to this new level that God is moving, not only to our Pastor but also to us as a church. This church has always been very careful not to abuse the gifts of the holy spirit but that the gifts of the holy spirit can move freely in a genuine way as much discernment because we understand that those gifts are for the edification of the body and not for the destruction of the body.

And when we are talking about the prophetic and the apostolic, we are talking about ministries that have been ordered by Christ Jesus for the functioning of the church. And that is why, my brothers, that we are going to have to 'endure the process', we are going to have to endure the process and let God's treatment operate in the midst of our lives.

How does God's treatment occur in our midst? Look, my brethren, God can deal with you individually just as God can deal with you through the authorities He has established here today. I said this comment in the morning and I recognize, my brothers, that part of this treatment of God is also given through the Pastors that we have here and how we are receptive to the teaching, the correction, the encouragement that we we receive from our Pastors.

I was saying this morning that in a meeting that I was with the deacons and the Pastor where he was beginning to communicate all this vision where he understands that the Lord is moving him, he mentioned in that meeting – and I laugh but it is serious - Saying that for many years, there are times when he has held back from saying things that he feels in his heart to avoid problems with people, to avoid problems with us because he doesn't want to say 'stepping on our corns'. But he has understood that by not doing that he has endured the blessing that God wants to bring to many people.

But he has now recognized that, 'look, I'm sure – these are his words – if I tell you some of the things that the Lord worries me, some of you who are here I know you are going to run away because you don't they will be able to bear what I am going to have to say to them. They are going to get upset, they are going to get frustrated, they are going to misunderstand me and that is why some are going to leave. And I understand that.

And when I heard that, I sank in my seat because I said to myself: Wow! What are you going to want to say to me through the Pastor? I used this example this morning, it is an example, but I said to myself, look if the Pastor sits me down for a moment and says: 'Look Omar, I know that you like to exercise a lot, you like ride a bike, participate in competitions and all that, but I think Omar that for a while you should put up with it, refrain from all that and spend that time praying, seeking the presence of the Lord, studying the word”.

I am sure that if the Pastor says that to me, I am sure that my teeth will gnash. Because I would be taking away something that is so courageous to me, that is, I admire that, I admire exercising. It entertains me, it keeps my body physically active, energized and I love to participate in all of that. If he at one point tells me 'I think you have to take that off your plate and incorporate this other thing', I know I'm going to get upset. And I am speaking to you clearly and who knows if I am even getting ready to hear that at some point.

I am preaching. Lord have mercy please. Even if it means going biking two or three times a year, please. But do you understand what I am telling you, my brothers? I believe that God's treatment with us sometimes gets in where we like it the most and where it hurts us the most. Think about it, what would be something in your life that for some reason or another, God has tried to get in there, but since you like it so much and you feel so comfortable and "don't touch me here, touch me here", the blessing is not entering through there?

And in some way or another, my brothers, it's like a word that God revealed through a brother here in the church. For these things we are stealing God's time. We steal the time of what God wants to do with us. We don't let God, that dimension of the eternal really get into our lives and make the changes that he has to make.

And look, my brother, my sister, even though it hurts, I am speaking to you right now and my heart aches with what I am saying because I know that I am preaching to myself. But even if it hurts, my brothers, God's blessing is not ashamed, God's blessing is to prosper our lives, so that we can truly move in those dimensions that God has in store for each one of us.

And brothers, moving in that dimension does not mean that I am going to walk with two angel wings and a halo, it does not mean that; but it means that my personal life is much more genuine, more active in terms of the things that God wants me to be able to do, than if He says to me: "Omar jumps" that I say to him 'How high do you want me to jump and How long do I stay on the air?” Not that: “Omar I need us to do this”, and he starts grumbling there like it was nothing.

And brothers, I tell you this is something serious, something very serious that I still can't fully understand. But I am sure, my brothers, that if we submit to that treatment of God as a church, if we submit to that treatment of God that not only from Him directly, that when He puts some impression on our hearts that we don't say “No, no. That is my invention. That doesn't come from God."

But look, receive it as from God. Plus, you know what? There are times that – I have said this before, but I am going to mention it again – there are people who come to me and say 'Oh! Pastor Omar if I come to Christ, Christ has to accept me as I am. I don't have to change anything because He accepts me just the way I am'

And you know what? I agree with that person. God accepts you just the way you are. You like to give yourself two or three beers in an hour, give yourself two or three beers, whatever you want. Do you like to go to Vincent's at night and enjoy there -I haven't seen anyone there by the way- but do you like to go clubbing or something? It's that I live nearby, my brothers, every day I have to go through Vincent to get to my house, so that's why I say that I haven't seen anyone when I go through the parking lot.

But look if you like it, you were one of those people who smoked three packs of cigarettes a day, come with your three packs of cigarettes. It doesn't matter to me, come as you are, but come with the desire to truly meet that eternal God.

Do you know why I emphasize that, my brothers? Because if you come with a genuine desire to meet that eternal God, to connect with all those mysteries and secrets that are on that level of the eternal, look through osmosis you will change. Well, not by osmosis, but by that connection with the eternal, your life will change. You yourself will come to me and tell me 'Look Pastor, I'm not smoking 3 anymore, I'm smoking one.' Fantastic, amen. I didn't have to tell you to change but God is working that change in you.

Look, if before 'I went to Vincent's four nights and now I'm only going one...' Amen, may God make that change in you! What if he bought me six packs of beer and now I reduced it to just one pack! Amen, let it be so. What if before I used to get four bad words in a sentence and now I get one, and it's more or less, look, Amen! The thing is that God is working the change in you, why? Because you have decided to submit to that treatment of God.

‘Pastor used to pray for 5 minutes. Now I am praying 15 minutes. Amen, Glory to God or if before I prayed once a week and now I am praying three times a week, amen. Glory to God.

Those changes are produced by God in you.

Before, you saw your life through very specific lenses. When you arrive in the presence of God, what God is going to say to you is: “I have to change the recipe. May I change your glasses?" and he's going to take them off and put other glasses on you so you can see life through his perspective.

Look, my brothers, these things that I am sharing with you I share them with great fear, my brothers, because I know, and once God decides to start interrupting the course of our lives for Him to put his agenda in our midst , things are going to change. Things are going to change.

Miracles that we have seen to this day are going to fall short compared to what God is going to be doing. Restorations in the lives of people, of couples, of families that we have seen are going to be nothing compared to what God is going to be doing from that moment on.

And I tell you, my brothers, for me this is an adventure, for me this is something very exciting and I want you to receive this message like this. I'm not saying it so you'll walk out of here saying “Ah! That church, León de Judá is going to get into the apostolic now; they are going to be a bunch of crazy people who are going to be saying a lot of things. I'm not going back to that church."

Look, don't think like that because that's not what's going to be happening. Let me tell you: do you understand what an apostolic ministry is? Do we understand what a genuine apostolic ministry is? Look, an apostle, it's not necessarily a word that stands here at the altar and starts saying 'so says the Lord, so says the Lord' and is giving prophetic word everywhere. No no. If you see the apostolic ministry biblically, apostolic ministries are those where the prophetic words do flow but which are leaders that God establishes to cover the leadership of others.

The Apostle Paul wherever he opened and planted a church, what did he do? He left a leader, a Pastor in charge of those churches. One of the best examples we have is the example of Timothy. That's one of the perfect examples we have of that. What was Paul doing? Paul -as I can say- gave spiritual coverage about each of those leaders who were in charge of each of those churches and that coverage was also seen through a prophetic word where God spoke contextually to each of those churches and He brought specific messages for each of those churches.

If God moves this church, in that area right now, on the one hand I would not be surprised because there are many Pastors today who call this office here asking for coverage from our Pastor Roberto Miranda. There are many Pastors who come and want to shelter under his wings because they understand that there is an authority that God has placed over him.

Now, this is not something easy to understand or receive my brothers. But this is where I see the connection of all this. Because if it is something that God intends not only for our Pastor but also for our lives as a church, then we have to say 'Lord, look... -in fact, as the Bible text from last Sunday said- Lord, I don't know what to do. I am facing this new challenge and I don't know what to do. But I look at you because I know that you are the one who has the answer to all this'

In this same way, my brothers, each one of us, at this stage of our lives as churches, at this stage of your personal life where you are, perhaps we are saying the same thing, 'Lord, here I am. I don't know what to do, I don't know what this means, I don't know what new challenge this is going to bring to our church but you are up there and I am down here, I am going to decide to trust you, I am going to decide to trust your word, I am going to decide to trust what You want to do.

My brothers, last point and let me underline this here. Much of the blessing that this church can experience will be seen in how we submit to the authority of that main leader that God has established here. There is a very important principle here my brothers and it is that principle of learning to submit to that authority.

If you look at biblical examples throughout all of scripture, the most tangible that I can think of is King David. King David – well David why not… he had been anointed King but he wasn't king yet. Saul was still in power – what was Saul trying to do? Trying to eliminate David. He was looking for him by sky, land and sea trying to kill the one who was going to take his place.

And how many times did David have the opportunity to eliminate King Saul? Three times David was there to stick a spear into Saul's head, but he didn't. Because? Because he knew that even though Saul was crazy, deranged, that he wanted to kill him, he knew that Saul was chosen by God and he was respecting that. And because he respected that he was able to cover his Ministry when it was his turn to go up to the kingdom. That is why there has been no other King like David in the history of Israel.

Likewise, my brothers, today if we learn to submit to those authorities that God has established in our midst, I am sure that we will be able to experience God's blessing in a more tangible and fluid way in the midst of our lives.

Look, what is one of the first authorities that God established for us? Tell me, think quickly. Think from the time you were born, what is one of the first authorities we have in our lives? Parents. What does one of the commandments say? Honor daddy and mommy so that you do well and have a long life in this world in which you are. That is the first commandment that has a promise.

Think, have you had an abundant life? Can you look back on how many years you are, look back and say 'yes my life has been abundant, pleasant, cool, wow? If you can't say that, analyze how you have been in your relationship with your parents.

Have you honored your parents in everything? rhetorical question.

But the point is that, my brothers, I believe that the treatment that God has with us as a church, God's intention is that this church can continue to be a solid influence on the community, the society in which we have had to live. Not only here in this state, but also through the networks of the Internet to wherever this church reaches.

God is calling us to continue being the transmitters of that blessing from Him, that this center in the midst of our lives, that light that the Lord has placed in the midst of our lives, can continue to grow and grow and even if it hurts in the process. ; Although there are things that I have to change in my life. If I have to change the way I dress and dress differently just so that God can move through me in a totally new and different way, well look: I do it.

If I have to carry my checkbook in another way to experience God's blessing, well look, let me carry my checkbook in another way to experience God's blessing. If instead of throwing knives at a person in the back and I have to throw those knives at myself then, well, look, I do it, so I can experience God's blessing.

If I have to lower my level of pride because I am admiring the titles that I have on the wall of my house and being able to humble myself like another person that God has placed by my side, well, look, I do it for the mere fact of experiencing the blessing of God in my life and continue transmitting it to others around me.

Brothers, this is something serious and deep and it is beautiful at the same time. The mere fact that God has this church on his radar is exciting, that God has this church on the lookout, that he is looking at it through a microscope and is saying: 'Look, there is Françoise, I see Françoise there, she has her well measured life And there is Rose. I am seeing Rosa, I have it very clear and there is María and there is Pedro and there is Juan.

And God sees each and every one of us, 'and that is my church, a church that I have chosen with which I have purposes'. Look, I am going to tell you something. There are many people today that when you ask them, which church do you go to? Ah, I go to Congregación León de Judá and that is my church. They tell you 'that's my church' but they don't show up here more than two or three times a year. And they fall on their chests saying that this is their church. Look, amen, let them say that this is their church. Fine.

But I believe that the moment is coming where God will begin to say: 'You say that you are from the León de Judá Congregation. Let's prove it!. Let's try it to see if you really are from the León de Judá Congregation. Let's see if you are living according to all the principles that are transmitted through the word that is preached in León de Judá.

If they ask you what church you are from and you say 'I am from León de Judá, really' And why? Because in León de Judá this, this, this and this is preached and I am living according to each of those things that are preached in that church and I can list them for you from 'a' to 'z' and from z to a again. I can list them for you. A person who cannot answer that, unfortunately, I don't think we are going to recognize that you come to León de Judá. Really? As Jesus would say 'I don't know you'.

Exciting times are ahead, my brothers. Solid moments are approaching this church, transformative moments are approaching. Look, I am praying to God that there are Sundays where people just by entering through those doors, see that they break down in tears, that they break down in joy, that whatever chain they have, they are already giving their lives to the Lord and come from knees walking around because they can't carry the glory that is in this place.

Amen.

I am praying, my brothers, that if God puts something in our hearts and I speak of our as pastoral authority to communicate with you, one does not have to come with “Oh! Blessed my brother, but if you can do this'. But the mere fact of sitting at a table with you, you already say "I know I have to work on this." Amen. They are going to give us a very big headache, without having to break the news to you because you are already submitting to God's treatment.

Look, if a call is made here we have to pray, we have to help, look that the church is packed and people are throwing themselves off the balconies because we don't fit. But after we are there looking intensely for the presence of God.

That if we have to make some kind of impact in the middle of the city in which we live, see that we do not hesitate to do that, but to the extent that God determines for each one of us that we can do our part. What if I have to go from Randolph to Burlington because I have to help a lady because she doesn't have, well look, that I move from Randolph to Burlington to do the shopping, take it home, put it in the fridge and come back again to my house and even if it's two hours a day but I implemented it in building the life of a daughter or a son of God. Amen.

I want to close this moment, wow! I extended. I want to take a moment to pray.

Let's stand up, let's pray. When the eternal touches the internal, it transforms the external. Lord you are an eternal God, You are the same as yesterday, today and always and there is nothing and no one that can be compared to you, Lord. And that is why I give you all the glory and all the honor God, because only you deserve it. We are nothing, Jesus, we are dust, we are a grain of sand, as Ramón sang a few minutes ago.

However, from that grain of sand, Lord, you have decided to build yourself a people, build yourself an army, Lord. Which you can use, which you can work with. And Father, we recognize that you are moving the Lion of Judah Congregation and all its members, all those parts of its body. You are moving us to new levels that on the one hand we do not know how we are going to move in those dimensions but we know and believe that the words of life come from you.

From you come those words that will teach us the way so that we can walk on it. I ask you, Lord, that when the time comes for you to start demanding, to require us, not because you are an authoritarian God, but because you are a God who loves us, you are a God who is all love. That we as sons and daughters can align ourselves with that call that you have on our lives Jesus, that we are not rebellious, that we are not stubborn but that we can be sensitive to your voice.

Create in us, Lord, a noble spirit, a right spirit, a teachable spirit. Give us a heart open and sensitive to you, Lord, to be able to receive this word my God and to be able to respond in an affirmative way, Jesus.

Father in a special way, as a church we want to pray and intercede for our Pastor Roberto Miranda, Lord. Father we say Amen to what you have in store for him and his family, Lord and first of all above all of them we ask for your coverage, Lord, we ask for your provision, we ask for your peace through this process, Lord, that you teach them May you bring revelation to both Roberto and Mercedes, their daughters, Lord Jesus. May you bring revelation of the plans that you have there stored in the eternal for each one of them.

Teach them the way they should walk and teach us as a church to know how to be a rock of support for our Shepherd, Jesus, in this ministry. That we are not stumbling blocks, Lord, that we do not hinder what you want to do for this time, but that all of us, my God, can be ready, willing to respond to what you have for us and what you want to transmit to our lives. through him Jesus.

Father, we declare new times on the life of this church. I declare it so, Jesus. I declare a new time, I declare that this wind, this fresh air, this renewing water that you are bringing to this church, Lord. We open the doors for you to enter, enter as the King that you are of this church, as the Lord that you are of this Church and at least for those who feel it, Lord, I declare this: We give you permission so that you work on those areas of our lives that have to be dealt with by you.

Lord, even if it hurts, even if it annoys, even if it bothers you, but if it comes from you, Lord, we welcome it with open arms. You know how to deal with us, you do not shame, you do not shame, Lord, but you bring conviction to build our lives and raise us to the level that you have for us.

Lord I declare your blessing on your people, Jesus. I declare your blessing on your people, Lord. Teach us, teach us Once again I ask you, Lord, teach us to know how to collaborate with you in this time and not be in your way.

Teach us how to collaborate with you, with that eternal God. Interrupt the agenda of our interior so that we can be those lights on the outside that you call us to live. Father, fill us with your presence, fill us with your spirit Lord. That we are not walking around dreaming of little birds in the air, Lord, but that we know how to bring your word to each one of those corners of our lives, to know how to live a just life, a dignified life, complete, before you and others. those other people we have around you.

Allow this house, Lord, to be a house where your Glory is manifested. If there are things to clean in this house, Lord, teach us how to clean, how to discard those things that must be discarded to bring those utensils, my God, that you are bringing once again. Those gifts that you want to bring in the midst of your people, Lord.

Fill, fill your church, fill your sons and daughters, Lord. I ask this in the name of your son Jesus. You who have been the one who began this work in us, Lord, we declare that you will be faithful in completing it. Our desire is to honor you, Lord. Our desire is to honor you with our hearts, with our actions, with our thoughts, with our words, we want to bring honor and glory to your name. Be you exalted above all things.

In the name of your son Jesus, we adore you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Thank you Jesus, thank you God.
