Pure grace

I want to invite you to go to the Letter to the Romans in Chapter 3. Let's go to verses 21 to 26. And I am going to call this sermon Pure Grace, it sounds like a brand of coffee or something but I am referring to something very important and it is that our salvation is by pure grace of God. Our condition as children of God is by pure grace of the Lord. And I am going to tell you a little about the genesis, the origin of this meditation, of this message. But before that we go directly to the word.

Try to make the correction between forgiveness by grace and the sermon we preached last Sunday, from Psalm 32, which begins by saying, "Blessed is the man, by extension blessed is the woman, whose transgression has been forgiven and her sin covered." That's like the second part of that message. The Apostle Paul says here:

“…But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been manifested, testified by the law and the prophets. The justice of God through faith in Jesus Christ ─ is an elaboration of what he has just said ─ for all who believe in him, because there is no difference, because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely ─ that precious word ─ by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God, Christ, put as a propitiation through faith in his blood to manifest his righteousness, because of having passed over ─ is that is, of having ignored ─ in his patience past sins. With the aim ─ that is, with the purpose ─ of manifesting his justice at this time so that he, God, may be just and the one who justifies the one who has faith in Jesus…”

May the Lord bless his holy word. Amen. Forgiven by grace, brothers. Last week's sermon, here's the connection, talked about the forgiveness that comes as a result of acknowledging our sin, confessing it, and repenting before it.

I preached about the benefits that come as a result of the forgiveness we have received from God. if one reads [inaudible] he says, I will make you understand and I will show you the path where you should walk. Guidance, direction, advice for our life, as a result of recognizing our sin, confessing it before the Lord and receiving forgiveness from him.

And we also talked in that sermon about the need to maintain an attitude of perpetual recognition of our sinful condition. I told them that it is not enough, this psalm goes beyond simply calling us to ─ well, you sinned, you confessed and now you sin again, you confess again, ─ I believe that this psalm, if we limit it to that dimension of mechanical acts, we lose the essence of the psalm that invites us, rather, to a life of perpetual recognition before God, of our need for his grace.

What God wants, rather, is that you and I live even while we sleep, even while we function in the normal things of life, like there is always recognition behind our minds. As the psalmist says, he favored me, a sinner. May we always recognize that we are prisoners of grace, prisoners of the Lord's grace. Let it be like a recording that is continuously playing in our life while we laugh, enjoy life, have fun, work. I know that I need the grace of the Lord. By myself, I cannot earn salvation or God's acceptance.

So, it is a call to a perpetual recognition of our sinful condition. The fact that we are inevitably going to violate God's law and that we constantly require his grace. Who can say, brothers, that two or three hours have passed, or one hour without sinning before the Lord. It's almost impossible, brothers. We produce sin like we produce carbon dioxide. That is just something that is there.

Sometimes I think, on the drive from Summerville where we live to Boston, on Sundays it can take about 15, 17, 20 minutes and if I go off the throttle a little it can even be a little less. But you know what's interesting about this, it's a few miles, but on that road from there to here, no matter how hard I try, no matter how restrained I am, in some way I will have violated some traffic law, even if I don't want to, because perhaps without realizing it I got a little bit, I went out of the lane, without putting the signal, I already violated the law. And that perhaps he did without realizing it. I got a little bit in the middle lane or double yellow line, I already broke the law. If the light turned yellow and I, okay, what do I do? I follow? I have someone behind and I already passed it, and I violated the law. If the throttle went a little bit and I went from 50 to 51 miles and it was 45, 50, I've already broken the law. Is incredible.

It is impossible, even in human things, not to violate the laws while we function in life. We are always transgressing some law. How much more the law of God that involves not only the movement of a single vehicle, but our mind, thoughts, desires, energies, subconscious memories, actions, words. It is impossible not to violate some law of God.

And that's why I believe that sin is more than just ─ it's not that we are sinners in the intentional sense, it's that the world is just full of barriers everywhere, the universe is full of little invisible lines which it's impossible not to touch at some point in our human functioning, therefore we always violate the law of God and we always need God's grace to cover us, and that is why this continuous Lord is always necessary, I know I need your grace, I know I need your forgiveness Always, and that's a cover for your life, incredibly important.

I call that preventive recognition, always being aware that we are in a perpetual state of deficiency before God and that only because of his constantly flowing mercy can we approach him and have communion with him.

And we also said, brothers, that we are not referring to guilt, to a sense of condemnation that torments and weakens us. I don't mean that, but rather a hygienic, natural recognition that recognizes God's perfect holiness as well as our inherent, inevitable imperfection. That is our very constitution.

The psalmist says, in psalm 51, behold, my mother conceived me in sin, look at that, that is, that one is formed in evil. That is, that is the soup in which we swim, we cook in that soup all our lives. That is a human condition. And so, I mean that we recognize the perfect holiness of God and that we are inherently imperfect, that is the condition, the world in which we live.

And in that posture of humility and surrender there is great security, and as we said, many important benefits, as the psalmist points out, in that psalm 32. We move naturally in that grace. We recognize, okay, I know, why defend myself? I am damnable, Lord, forgive me and we have already resolved that matter. We continue with our life enjoying the grace and mercy of God.

When I preached that sermon I later thought that indeed, Psalm 32 is a beautiful theological exposition of the doctrine of forgiveness, which is later developed in the New Testament, in a much more comprehensive way. As David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, anticipated a number of teachings that the Apostle Paul would later develop in his theology, in Romans, in First Corinthians, in Ephesians, in different passages that together make up a beautiful mosaic of what is the doctrine of salvation by grace.

Look at that, that David writes that psalm 32 while the sacrificial system is in operation and all these things, but God inspires him and enlightens him to understand that ultimately, for the sacrifices and for keeping festivals, and not eating certain eaten, man cannot be saved, but it is simply by an acknowledgment of his sin before God and by God who grants him grace as a result of his humility.

I thought it would be good this Sunday to finish that and round it off with a meditation, New Testament of the doctrine of forgiveness and salvation by grace, because that is how the circle closes and we have a total exposition of that teaching.

That is why this sermon is going to be a bit doctrinal, it is not so much a sermon as to rejoice and say glory to God, Hallelujah! It is a sermon for you to put on your thinker's hat, theologian's hat and receive it, and that possibly will help you to be able to bring some soul to the knowledge of Jesus, because you know what the word says.

Even I could… I heard Delmi over there say amen, and the cells. I am happy to provide you with the outline of this sermon for about $50 per person and you can use it in your cells this coming week or the next, it doesn't matter. We are generous, brothers.

You can use it in one of the cells to study this, because it is very important that you have that clear.

This is a good occasion, brothers, to briefly review this doctrine of salvation by grace and understand it better, both for our lives and to be able to explain it to others.

Interestingly, Paul, this I realized this morning as I was writing this sermon, Paul in his exposition about the doctrine of forgiveness by grace, turns to this Psalm 32. I had not realized about that, and it is that the Holy Spirit does the connection, as I made it in my mind, the Holy Spirit led Paul to make that connection that in the Old Testament David was giving us an exposition of what would become the doctrine of salvation by grace and not by works , salvation that comes from believing that God is faithful, merciful, recognizing our sin, asking for forgiveness and then receiving mercy and restoration.

In Psalm 32 Paul finds that same exposition. Let's go to Romans for a moment, I warn you that we are going to use the Bible a little more actively, Romans, 4, 6 to 10, look at what Paul says here:

“…As David also speaks, in Psalm 32, of the blessedness of the man to whom God attributes righteousness without works…”

If you read Psalm 32, there are no works there, the person who receives, David himself, forgiveness for his sins, it is not because he went to the temple with a ram, an elephant to burn it on the altar of sacrifice. No, it simply says, I confessed my sin, I didn't cover it up, and God forgave me.

So it's nothing that he did, Paul understands this and that's why Paul says, look, Jews, he always says, salvation has always been by God's mercy, not by works. Because Paul judicially recalls that Abraham before the law was instituted, hundreds of years before the law came into operation, before Moses came on the scene, God had already imputed to Abraham righteousness not by works but by faith.

So Paul is here developing that point and he is saying, judicially, there is a legal precedent that declares that the first justification of a man on earth did not come as a consequence of a sacrifice that he made, but as a consequence of believing God. and David says Paul, he picks up this in his psalm and develops it, in the same way that I am doing it now in the light of Christ Jesus with much more understanding of what that meant.

We have the privilege of having a box seat, sitting in front, looking at this because we already have the complete portrait. So Paul says,

“…the blessedness of the man to whom God attributes justice without deed saying, blessed are those, in this plural case, whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered, blessed is the man whom the Lord does not impute, ─ does not impute, that is, does not attribute sin to him ─ Is this blessedness only for those of the circumcision? That is, only for those who are in the mosaic covenant of works and justification by works, by sacrifices and by all these things? Or is it also for the uncircumcised…”, that is, for the Gentiles in the case of Paul, and by extension for us in the 21st century?

That is to say, that salvation that is given through grace and confession and believing God is only for the Jews or is it also for us? So the answer:

“…Because we say that faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness, how then was it credited to him? Being in the circumcision, that is, after Moses? No. or in the uncircumcision, before Moses? Before Moses. He says, and he answers himself, not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

In other words, Paul is an incredible theologian and as a Pharisee he had been trained in a way of making his arguments. He is very logical, it is a very tight progression that he is making. He is firstly establishing the judicial principle that through all of God's dealings, what has always pleased God is a man or a woman who believes what he says. How did Abraham believe God? when God told Abraham at the age of 75 you are going to have a son, and you are going to have him with a woman who is also well advanced in age, and has never had children. And I am going to give you a son and not only a son, but I am going to give you descendants in your old age, already in your near death, so that not even the sand of the sea, if it can be counted, your descendants will also be counted. .

And what does the Bible say? That Abraham instead of being scandalized and saying, how dare you say that, Lord? That has never been seen. He says he believed God. And that pleased the Lord. And then God imputed justice to him, gave him a voucher, gave him a credit for justice.

You know what? What pleases God is a man, a woman who believes him, who does not question the character of God. And how do we do the same? When we believe God about Jesus Christ. When we believe when God said, that is my beloved Son, listen to him. He is the savior of the world, he is the promised Messiah. When you believe that, you can receive the same justification that Abraham received. You too can please God in the same way and also receive the same blessing.

So, with respect to Abraham, he received justification because he believed God when he promised him a son and great offspring in his old age. This was told to him for justice.

Now, we see this, brothers, that both in Psalm 32 and in all Christian salvation doctrine, the same thing is said, that if we confess our sins God is faithful to forgive them. That if we believe God as to what he has said about the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, the messianic character of Jesus, his resurrection from the dead, whoever simply chooses to believe God in these things, there is a compromise mystical, magical, spiritual that believing in God becomes an essence of justice in the life of that individual.

He says then, if we confess our sins God is faithful to forgive them. Why is God faithful to forgive? Why doesn't the writer say that if we confess our sins God is good, or merciful? Because? Because God has promised that he will forgive us if we confess our sins. right yes?

If God tells you, look, confess your sin and I will forgive you. And if you confess your sin, what do you expect? That God is going to forgive you, then by doing that, God reveals himself as being faithful in his promises. Who can doubt God's faithfulness?

Brothers, I want to underline this. Again, this is rice and beans, this is basic food. This is potato with meat and a little salad. Because this is the basic doctrine of the Gospel, this is not great subtlety, what I am telling you. Our just condition, brothers, is not due to anything we do, it is not due to your giving money to the church, or that you come to church, or that you fast, or that you belong to the ministry of deacons or huhieres . None of these things earn you salvation but the simple fact, listen to this, if you are new to the church, you are visiting today, listen to this, the simple fact of having recognized and confessed that we have sinned before the Lord, that we exist in a condition of sin, and remitting ourselves to the grace and mercy of God, through the work that Christ did on the cross of Calvary. And when we do that, God forgives us. It is a work of pure grace, pure mercy.

Now let me get something straight, that doesn't mean you don't need to obey God's law and behave yourself and do good works and obey the Lord's commandments. This all that means, salvation by grace and not by works, all that means is that works are not what make us acceptable before God.

What gets us right before God is believing God what he has said about his Son Jesus Christ. Now, after that, after you believe God, you confess your sin, God forgives you and justifies you, you know what? It is expected that now you then do good works, obey the Lord, keep the commandments, sanctify yourself, enter a life devoted to respect the principles of the Kingdom of God.

After you are saved. Some people want to put the cart before the horse. And he says, I can't come forward, I can't accept Christ because I haven't gotten married yet. I'm living in a common-law relationship or whatever, I have a lot of problems, I have to clean my mind a little bit, I have an addiction to novels or whatever, and then people say, no, I'm going to wait for that to settle. So... No, the first thing you have to do is first confess, acknowledge, believe and then God says, okay, now let's talk, you and I can talk now.

And so God, now that his grace is flowing through you, he teaches you and leads you how to please him and how to obey his commands. But first you need the Holy Spirit within your life to be able to obey the Lord and do what he wants you to do. Because if God is not within you, his spirit is not flowing within you, you will never be able to please the Lord, you will never have the strength.

That's why David says, when God forgave me, he told me, I will make you understand and I will teach you the way you should walk. There are many people who want the Lord to show them the way and make them understand, so that they can then look for him. It is quite the opposite. Seek him and he will teach you the path where you should walk.

How wonderful is the word of the Lord. So, what God does, this has caused a lot of confusion to people. Well, it's by grace, it's by work, do I have to obey the Lord or simply now that I'm free I can do whatever I want? God does not eliminate any of the elements of salvation, what he does is that I think he changes the order.

People used to say, well, work first then salvation. And now God says, no, no, first salvation and then works. That is the difference in the Christian economy. After you are saved, after you are justified, after you have the Holy Spirit within you, it is necessary to keep God's moral and spiritual law.

By the way, that's what the Bible calls the fruits of righteousness. Look at Romans 6:22, the Apostle Paul says here:

“…But now that you have been freed from sin, ─ see, now that you have been cleansed, healed, set free, forgiven, justified ─ and made servants of God…”

Now that you are a servant of the Lord, because you have the Holy Spirit within you, through Christ Jesus, "... you have sanctification as your fruit..."

In other words, after you are already made a servant of God, a servant of the Lord, now you sanctify yourself, consecrate yourself, live as God wants you to live. Now, there is an additional reason and it is because now you are a member of the Kingdom of God, you are destined for eternal life. How are you going to get dirty?

If Paul says that now the Holy Spirit lives within you. How are you going to make the Holy Spirit a kind of spouse or share behavior that is not due. Now you have to live according to your condition. Look at Chapter 6, verse 15 and 18, Paul asks:

"…So? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?..."

In other words, because now it is much easier to enter into a relationship with God, we are going to sin, we are going to be licentious in our behavior. Says:

“…In no way… ─ and verse 18, I already read it, says, ─ … and freed from sin you came to be servants of justice…”

What happened? Before you were a slave to sin. Now in Christ Jesus you are a servant of justice, you are a slave of justice. I don't mind saying that I am a slave to love, goodness, holiness, justice, mercy, compassion, joy, peace, and hope. All these things I am glad to be tied to all of them because before Christ we were tied to the devil, to death, to condemnation, to lies, to adultery, to the violation of all the principles of God. Now, we exist to glorify the Father, and glorify the principles of the Kingdom of God.

In other words, that distinction is important. Brothers, good works are not a requirement for our salvation but they are evidence of our condition. They are not a requirement but they are evidence of our condition as children of God.

Let's go now briefly to the passage of Romans 3:21, I want to quickly make a few points here. Says the Apostle Paul,

“…But now, apart from the law, the justice of God has been manifested…”

Why does Paul say 'but now'? Before that, in verses 19 and 20 Paul makes it clear that in the old system of salvation by rituals, works, diet, everyone was trapped in a guilty condition because no one could keep the law perfectly.

Do you know what Paul says, what the Bible says? That the law was a ruse of God, it was a trap of God. The law was a scaffold that God used to prepare humanity for the coming of Christ. What the law did was put a sign that defined what sin is and when the man stumbled upon that sign he realized that there is sin.

It's like Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve while they were in the Garden of Eden, they were naked and they didn't realize they were naked, for the moment, when they disobeyed the Lord, the law came into effect, what happened? They immediately felt ashamed of their nakedness and what happened? They covered.

The law serves to indicate something. So, God worked out a system, the first thing God did was historically prepare the world and prepare the universe for this permanent and eternal system of salvation by grace, and then first he said, You know what? We are going to prove to people that they cannot save themselves. We are going to make them conscious of sin. We are going to trap them in sin. And let them wallow there trying to justify themselves and when they are tired and it is clear that they cannot save themselves, then I am going to send my Son Jesus Christ.

So that's why Paul says, 'but now'. Because? Because look at what 19 and 20 says:

“…But we know that everything that the law says is said by those who are under the law so that every mouth is shut and the whole world remains under the judgment of God, since by the works of the law no human being will be justified before he…"

The law was always a help in what was coming true. And that's it, then Paul says:

Now, however, in the new system it is different. Now, God apart from the law, that is, he has already put the law aside, the justice of God has been manifested, the true has now arrived. Who is the real? Jesus Christ. How is justice now manifested if not by law, how is God's justice manifested? through faith in Jesus Christ.

Look what it says, the justice of God testified by the law, by the prophets. The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Look what it says in Romans Chapter 10, verses 8 and 10.

“…This is the word of faith that we preach, that without confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved…”

One can almost hear the judge's gavel blow saying, that's the way. If you confessed, you are saved. If you believed, you are saved. That is the way God's justice is manifested today.

The person who wants to feel free, justified, saved, healed, all he has to do is believe that Christ is who he says he is.

What does John say, Chapter 1, verse 12?

"... But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the power to become children of God..."

The new way of manifesting God's justice to humanity, apart from the law, is simply when people believe God about his Son. Because it says here:

“…through faith in Jesus Christ…”

It is in Jesus Christ, nothing else. It is not a system, it is not a church, it is not another individual, it is through the person of Jesus. That is why the person of Jesus is so important in the theology of the church. Another passage says:

“…For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we can be saved, but through the man Jesus Christ…”

It is Jesus, through him, for all who believe in him. That is, whether they are Jews, Gentiles, Puerto Ricans, Guatemalans, Salvadorans, Bolivians, whatever, all who believe in him receive God's justice. It doesn't matter, everyone who covers the blood and the name of Jesus and his salvific work is automatically saved. There's no difference. Don't try to put bluff or embellishments on that plain and simple doctrine.

The fact that you are from there, that you do this, that you behave well, that you are good people, none of that, is through Christ Jesus. There is no difference, since all have sinned, he says, we have all sinned and we all fall short of the glory of God.

Without Christ you do not have access to the presence of the glory of God. without Christ you are dead in your sins and your offenses. That is why Christ is so important, that is why we can never play with the person of Jesus, never, brothers, listen to this carefully, never receive any teaching that steals an iota of importance from Jesus Christ.

Do you know how you can tell when a doctrine is false? There is a lot of doctrine that is called Christian and all that, but do you know how you can know? Ask yourself what level of centrality do they give to Jesus? If they are clear that Jesus is the only way, the only mediator, the Son of God, God himself, dead on a cross, raised on the third day, the only way to receive grace, forgiveness, salvation, we are fine. But if it takes one little thing away, stay a thousand miles away. There are teachings today, there are doctrines that mix science with other forms and other things, and what they are doing is robbing Christ Jesus of his royalty.

It is only Christ, because there is only one mediator, we are justified by that belief, that confession, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. I'm going to leave it there, brothers, I want us to stand up for a moment.

When David, in his Psalm 32, spoke blessed is the man, the woman, whose offense has been forgiven and her sin covered. He is saying, what a blessing, what a privilege it is to go through that sieve of grace and be able to receive forgiveness through the work of Christ. Believing Jesus and receiving healing that way.

Blessed is the person who can say, I have done what God has told me to do. I have believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the savior of humanity, my mediator, my substitute. He has paid the price and I understand it clearly, I receive it like this.

Look brother, don't make life too difficult for people out there. When you have the opportunity to preach the Gospel to them, simply tell them, look, what the Bible says is that if you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the savior of your life, you are saved. . And once you have done that, the Holy Spirit will come into your life and then you can start a relationship for the rest of your days where he will walk with you and gradually sanctify you, as long as you stick to him and follow his commandments. .

As simple as that. Brothers, that teaching needs to be heard by our young people out there, your study partner or your co-worker needs to hear it, memorize it. This passage, if you follow it step by step, you will realize how easy it is to develop the doctrine of salvation and we believe that God does what he says he is going to do, when a person confesses Christ as Lord and savior, and believes God, that person is a citizen of the Kingdom of God and can then begin a life of intimate relationship with him.

I want us to lower our heads for a moment and I want to thank God first for how consistent his doctrine is, from Genesis to Revelation, there is only one doctrine, salvation by grace, salvation by believing God, salvation by confessing our sins , salvation because God is generous and he has omitted the condemnation that he could very well give us.

If you have not had the benefit of taking that step of faith yet, before closing this wonderful service I want to invite you, I want to isolate each one of my brothers and sisters who have not yet had the privilege of saying, you know what? I want to be from the family of Abraham who believed God and it was accounted to him for justice and I also want to leave here today knowing that I have gone through the process that God has defined, salvation by faith, salvation by believing.

And if anyone this afternoon, before they leave, wants to prove what I'm saying, I want to invite you to raise your hand, before you leave here and experience the salvation that will come as a result of confessing your sins before God.

Will there be someone who wants to take that step, who has not done it before? If you haven't done it before, and you want to be sure before leaving here that you are covered by that sacrifice and that saving work, if you want to raise your hand before leaving, if you haven't done it before and you want this afternoon to give that step of faith, I invite you. We want to pray for you, wherever you are.

Will there be someone who has not done it yet? If you haven't already. I see a hand that has gone up behind there. Amen. Someone else? the sister here too. Glory to God.

If we confess our sins he is faithful to forgive them. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, we believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we are saved. Someone else? another young man there. God bless you.

It's so easy, brother, in a sense it's easy. That's why it's pure grace, it all starts with a confession. You don't have to go that far. It's here. You don't have to say, I'm going out to find that salvation, it's at hand. Just believing God.

I see hands raised over here. Glory to the Lord. Someone else? What a beautiful opportunity in which the doctrine of salvation is exposed so simply so that you make sure you have your ticket prepared to go before the presence of God.

I want to invite those brothers, come here for a moment. Someone if he accompanies this person. Come here for a moment.

Says the Lord Jesus Christ, if you confess me before men, I will confess you before my Father who is in heaven.

Go through here. Someone accompany him, someone to make him feel accompanied. Come this way. We are going to pray for you. Let's deliver them to the Lord.

I want you to say like the psalmist there in your heart, I confessed my sin and my life turned green. The grace of the Lord manifested itself again in me. This is for the glory of the Lord. As simple as that.

I wish this city would one day be revolutionized by thousands of people who came to know Jesus in that way, who told God and received justice as a result of it.

In the name of Jesus I declare thousands, thousands of people. You are the deposit. One day the Lord is going to open the pipes of heaven and we are going to see thousands of people responding to the call of God and believing God and confessing that Jesus Christ is their Lord and their savior. I see it, I celebrate it and I declare it as a fact this afternoon, and you are the beginning, firstfruits of the Lord.

I bless you and invite you to believe God. There in your heart and with your mouth say, I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior, he is my Lord, he died on the cross, he rose again and he is seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for me and he comes one day for the second time and I I will be before his presence for eternity, through his sacrifice on the cross and his resurrection.

Or if you believe that, you can go home safely, write that where you can, say, this day I made my pact, my deal with God. I believed the Lord and he was faithful and did what he had promised. I assure you of one thing today, if someone asks you if you die right now, would you go to heaven? You have to tell him with a shout, of course, because my passport is stamped, my visa has been decided, you are a child of God.

Now start living as a daughter as a son of God. I encourage you to take seriously this step that you take. Now they have to live for Christ, before they were slaves of the world, of the flesh, of sin, of the devil, now they are servants of Christ Jesus. Live at that height and start walking hand in hand with Jesus Christ. And I guarantee that the Lord will guide you, bless you, protect you, guard you, and provide for all your needs.

Hallelujah! Because he is Lord and he is faithful. I bless you, I break every curse in your lives, I break every accusation of the devil, I break every plot against your well-being. We open clear paths before you and we believe that the Holy Spirit enters your hearts, settles in the center of your lives. You are children of the Kingdom of God. Live as children of the Kingdom of God. Thank you, Father, thank you for your word, Lord. Oh thank you for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In a few weeks we are going to have baptisms, I would love to see you enter the baptismal waters, because that is also part of the blessing, through baptism you will give another expression of surrender to the Lord, so I hope you remain faithful there Until that day comes and we're all going to rejoice.

I know that we are going to have a great party with many more people who have received the Lord in these last days. We bless you and if you do me a favor, one more moment, my brothers are going to accompany you for a second so that we want to give you a New Testament, a Bible, pray for you. Go quickly there for a second. We are done and be blessed. We want to bless their lives and help them in any way possible.

Brothers, let's give glory and honor to the Lord. Amen. Let's bless the Lord with praise and thanks to him for all the good he has been to us.
