My God, why have you forsaken me?

Psalm 22 from verse 1 to 5. Brothers, if you have felt far away, lost or perhaps abandoned by God at some point, this message is for you, this message is for us. And perhaps this psalm will sound very familiar to you, the 22nd psalm.

"...My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?..."

Let's stop there. Where have we heard those words before? The Lord, right? on the cross. Furthermore, the Gospels state that these were perhaps his last words before he gave up his spirit to the Lord.

“… My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from my salvation and the words of my cry? My God, I cry during the day and you don't answer..."

Sounds familiar to some? “… I cry during the day and you do not answer, and at night and there is no rest for me. But you are holy, you who dwell among the praises of Israel, our parents waited for you… ─ let us take courage, my brothers, ─ …. They waited and you delivered them, they cried out to you and were delivered, they trusted in you and were not ashamed..."

My brothers, there is a deep message here but allow me to share a story with you. How many do you like police stories? Law and order, CSI, brothers, this seems like an allegory but this happened and it happened to me. And for me it's like a parable of this word, well, listen to this. At least I entertain him with this story.

Last Wednesday in an oversight I left my office open, not even for five minutes. And a person entered my office and sadly stole my phone and computer, my backpack. But this story ends well, okay. Do not get scared. It ends with a happy ending. It is a story with a happy ending, until now not very happy and I was not very happy either, with everything and Christian that I was.

But look, he took my phone, my computer, my backpack, but my phone has a GPS system that directed the police to the place where this person was and at the police station they saw a satellite map of the place as a dot blue representing my poor phone.

At the barracks they saw this satellite map and this little blue dot as if it were the telephone saying, here I am, rescue me. over here Help. And brothers, that little dot was on a 7-story building, 150 apartments, that little dot was not so exact. But the spirit of God led these policemen precisely to this person's apartment. I can't explain how. And when they were there, these police officers asked to send an electronic signal to the phone that made the phone make a noise like a whistle going off, indicating where it was. They understand me?

In other words, they had the ability to send a signal to the phone by computer and it was as if the phone said, here I am, here I am, pipipipipi. My brothers, I believe that they heard that whistle through the door of this apartment that they chose and the thief was so scared that he threw my phone from a seventh floor window. Hey, God loves me, but this thing fell on a grassy hill and not the sidewalk. do you believe me this?

Look, not even CSI makes this up. This you have not seen in Law and Order. When you see it you know where it was stolen from. Hey, and within three hours of the robbery they returned my phone, my computer, my backpack, and a new disciple for the prison ministry of the León de Judá Congregation ministry.

Glory to God. praise him. I feel like I'm sick I'd pick up my crutches, here I pick up the phone to the glory of the Lord. But look, okay Pastor Samuel, very interesting. Nice. What do I get with that? Looking for an iphone, sorry. That is not the message.

This is the message. Going back to Psalm 22, we who have prayed together like me, my God, why have you forsaken me? For how many has that been a prayer from time to time, why have you forsaken me? Where I am?

Couple of things that the Lord tells me through this word. And if you allow me to share it with you. Pair of principles. If you have felt like this at some point, these three things, I commend it to you as the word of the Lord for you. This is the Lord's answer.

When you complain and say, but why doesn't the Lord answer me? Why do I feel so far away? Or how dare I present myself in the presence of the Lord now? Maybe that is your case.

If that's you, take note of these three things. First of all, no matter how lost, no matter how far away you feel, you are still God's property, you are still God's property even if you feel far from his hands. You may feel out of his hands but you are still God's property.

Through an oversight, my brothers, my property fell into the hands of a thief, it fell into the hands of someone else. But know, merely because it fell into someone else's hands, it ceased to be my property. They understand? It did not cease to be my property.

By the way, we have to guard ourselves. That is another thing the Lord tells me. A professional thief needs little opportunity. And the word says that Satan is a professional thief. The Lord says that speaking of Satan that the thief came only to kill and steal and destroy and that is Satan.

What's more, when I saw the video of this person operating I even admired him, he was very professional. Amazing how he used time and space so efficiently to pull this off.

Well, brothers, first of all know this, let's not neglect ourselves. Let's start with that. Satan needs very little openness to take advantage and to impoverish our lives with his presence. But even if we fall 'into the hands of the enemy' for a moment, let's stay with this phrase for a moment.

Even if you carelessly fell into the hands of the enemy for a while, know this, you are still God's property. The enemy will have possession but he has no title and what describes property is the title.

You know, the kingdom of heaven is in many ways governed in the same way that we govern our affairs. There are spiritual laws to which Satan submits. And here you have an example, it is very common, let's say in an experience of retribution of demons, that the Holy Spirit almost always reaches the moment of freedom for this life is when the person who has been oppressed by the enemy is asked and who are you? Who is your Lord? And there is a moment of liberation, almost always, when that person, despite how oppressed they may be by the enemy, that they profess with their lips, Jesus Christ is my Lord.

No matter how oppressed you are by the enemy or by the enemy, we are still God's property. Point number one.

Point number two. God has not lost sight of you. God has not lost sight of us. He hasn't lost sight of it. Perhaps you wake up in a strange environment and this happens many times and I hope that if you are here and this is your situation and you are in the house of the Lord, or perhaps if you have tuned in on the internet, and you have I heard it said, God will never find me here, I neglected myself, I left the door open to Satan. He is a thief, he took advantage, got in, stole my dignity, my holiness, my integrity. And in this spiritual place, God will never find me.

You know, even in that situation know this, God knows precisely where you are because of your prayers, even that eagerness, oh if the Lord listened to me. I wish the Lord knew where I am. You know, for God that is the pin on the map indicating where you are.

Think this way, from the day you became God's property, from the day you declared and brothers, I invite you, if you do not remember having told the Lord that clearly, Lord, I invite you to be my God I want to be your property. I want to be your property, Jesus.

Well, my brothers, from the moment the Lord bought you with his blood and made you his property, he marked your soul with an invisible GPS. And even if you find yourself in a situation surrounded by… a strange place, know, the Lord knows precisely where you are and he has already begun the process of rescuing you. You won't see it, that's the thing.

Imagine that you are my phone and at the moment you wake up and there are strange people around you, you are in a strange apartment. Where am I? I was 5 minutes ago in the León de Judá Congregation and who are these people? And where is this apartment? Help me. And there you send that pin but you do not see God, you know what is happening around you. He doesn't realize that there are police officers and detectives looking for you.

You know, in the same way, you don't realize all that God is doing to rescue you. You don't realize all that God is doing to get you out of the mess where you are. You have no idea. You do not know that he is moving heaven and earth to get you precisely from that place to where he is.

But as I tell you, brothers, even in the spiritual there is a process. The Lord is following a process, even his presence tonight is part of that process. The Lord has already begun the plan to rescue you. Even if you don't feel it, even if you don't hear it, even if you don't feel that you are in his hands, he is aware of you and his purpose is to rescue you.

My brothers, and if so, it is very, very important that you do not lose hope. Keep sending the pin to the Lord. Don't let yourself go, that's why my brothers, it's so important that we don't let ourselves go because of our emotions. The enemy is an expert at this. As long as you're in that weird environment, the enemy is going to convince you, you know what? You are now my property. Forget. How is he going to find you here? how a holy God is going to find you in our midst?

Do yourself a favor, ignore it. Ignore. ignore it. You woke up with breath in your lungs, use the last breath in your lungs to raise a prayer to Jehovah. As long as there is breath in your lungs, as long as you have the ability to see and think and walk, use every ability you have to send that pin to Jehovah. Lord, here I am.

Brothers, and finally know this, I told you that there is a rescue process. And this is a very important element of this process. Be attentive to the signs that the Lord is sending you. Let us be attentive to the voice of the Lord. Let us be attentive to the call of God.

You know, the official police report had a very interesting paragraph that says, the guards, the policemen heard that the phone made a unique sound, a unique sound, it says. It was different from let's say a normal ringing from a phone. I could reproduce it for you but I don't want 20 police officers to show up tonight. I thought about it, but it's not a good idea.

But it was a unique sound for this phone. And you know what? The word of God says that his sheep know his voice, they know his voice. And brother, if you are here, perhaps you are one of those who feels, pastor I am here but I am in a strange place spiritually, I do not understand how the Lord is going to find me here. and I have felt far from the hands of the Lord for a long time.

But you are here and if you are here, perhaps it is because the Lord has just sent you his sign, which is his voice saying, my son, my daughter, where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where did you go?

Brethren, I urge you to know your voice. Know the voice of the Lord. And do you know, pastor, how is this voice? What accent does God have? maybe when we talk about the voice of the Lord you actually know how that feels, how I would translate it. I would call it, how do you know the Lord has been speaking to you? How do you know that the Lord has been sending you a sign? How do you know what is with you?

Do you know what it is? This is a phrase that I perhaps invented but I commend it to you. It is through what I would call divine discomfort. I do not know if I understand? A divine discomfort, that is, no matter how lost you feel, no matter how disoriented you feel, there is no way that you would wake up in that place and I have seen people that one would say, but how did that person end up in the church? When he should be, say, in the hospital or in an asylum, or whatever, how did he end up in the church? Do you know why? Something, a fragment of his mind and his consciousness woke up like the prodigal son and said, but am I not supposed to be here? this is not my house. This is not normal. And Satan may be telling you, yes, this is your new home. Yes, this is normal. Yes, this is where you belong.

But something inside of you is telling you, no, no, no, no. This is not what I have for you. No. No. this is not your future. No no. these kids are not your friends. No no. No. this environment is not for you. no no no. I made you for something else. Have you heard that little voice? Maybe a discomfort. Your voice is not even saying, go to church, but that little voice inside you is telling you, wherever it is, it's not here. Wherever you are, this is not where you belong. God's sign.

God's pin. and by a miracle, perhaps as in a dream, here you are. My brothers, when you hear the sign of God, even if wrong, tell the Lord, Spirit of God find me. Spirit of God rescue me. Spirit of God get me out of here. I know in my heart, this is not your purpose for me. I know within my heart, these ties are not your purposes for me. Lord, maybe I don't know where I should be, but I do know it's not here. Lead me where I should be.

Let's stand up. And I invite the musicians to join me at this time. The worshipers. Maybe, you know, even as the Lord gave me this message, I imagined someone on the internet seeing this message, tuning in at 2 or 3 in the morning, experiencing divine discomfort. You are listening?

I declare this prophetically, are you listening? Now I feel like [unintelligible]. I don't know if it's 2, 3 in the morning, I don't know if you're alone, I don't know if you're watching me on your phone and it's the last wands on your phone, and God only knows what he has planned for you or what lie he has told you shot Satan, but know, it is not a coincidence that you have heard this message.

You are experiencing a divine discomfort, you are lost and the Lord is looking for you, because your home is his presence, it is not just where you are. I don't know, maybe one of you tonight is like this. You know what? Allow me this dare?

Perhaps we went out without praying with anyone, but God forbid, God forbid me not to make this invitation. It may be a person here who says, Pastor Sam, that is me. Pastor Samuel, that's me. I know that I am experiencing the sign of God, I have felt lost but here I am. Here I am but I don't know how far this is going.

Pastor Samuel, I want to make sure that I am God's property tonight. I'm his property. I know that I have felt his pin. I merely want to respond and from then on God finds out about you, because they are good things. God has not forsaken you, first of all, I want to burst that bubble of Satan. God has not forsaken you.

He hasn't lost sight of you. He knows where you are. If that's you, I invite you, raise your hand, I want to pray for you. Raise your hand. Glory to God sister. Praise the Lord. God bless you my brothers. Keep your hands up. God bless you.

Lord, come to meet us. Lord come to meet us. Tell him that from the bottom of your heart. Spirit of God come to meet me. My soul cries out to you, listen, Lord, to the voice of my cry. Hear it, hear it Lord, in the name of Jesus.

Lord, declare your word that you will reconcile parents with children. Sir, here nothing and nobody has been lost, everything is here fine. And in the name of Jesus, whatever Satan has tried to steal from the life of my brothers, Lord, whatever attempt to steal that the enemy has tried to provoke on my brothers, I declare it, Lord, I declare it null and void in the Jesus name.

And Lord, I return before your presence, I return to declare and establish the title of their souls over you, the title of their lives over you, the title of their future over you, the title, Father, of your dreams over you. , as if nothing was lost, nothing Lord, without interruption of your grace in Jesus name.

Father, take them in your hands and seal them. We declare, Master, even if we make our bed in the [inaudible] there your eye will see us. Lord, even darkness is like light for you and there is no one who will hide from your eye and in your presence we celebrate that we are your property and that you are a jealous owner and you promise to protect us from any thief who wants to steal from us what only you you have the right to have.

May your children lie down safe tonight knowing that there is a God watching over them and angels camping around them, guarding them from all evil. Guard their hearts in the name of Jesus. Lord, we receive your presence, we receive your protection. Join us Jesus and don't let us go at all in Jesus name. Amen. Glory to God.
