Summary: The Ministry of Jesus was marked by crowds who were hungry and thirsty for something more than the religious and political systems of the time. Jesus couldn't even have privacy because people always followed Him. The Father revealed His Son to the multitudes, Peter, Paul, and to us through His Holy Spirit. We cannot hide Him because the Father has revealed Him to us. The first means the Father uses to reveal His Son is creation itself, from sunsets to mountains.

The Father uses creation, His Word, and works of power to reveal His Son. The Old Testament speaks of Christ and the prophets foretold His coming. However, we can hinder Him from being revealed by neglecting evangelization and denying Him like Peter did. We must prioritize making Him known to others.

The speaker talks about the importance of revealing Christ in our lives, not just by speaking, but also by our actions. He shares his own experience of meeting Christ through a woman who spoke passionately about Him, and how he has shared his faith with others ever since. He encourages listeners to share their faith with others, and to do so with the same passion that Christ has touched their lives. He also shares an anecdote about his grandchildren learning to evangelize.

The speaker talks about the importance of sharing one's faith in Jesus Christ and how it should not be hidden. He shares a personal experience of ministering to a young girl and how it impacted her life. The speaker emphasizes the need to talk about Jesus with words and actions, and shares a Bible verse from 1 John 1. The speaker invites those who were invited to the service by a friend or family member to come forward and accept Jesus as their personal Savior. The audience prays together and the speaker asks for God's blessing upon them.

Gospel of Mark chapter 7 verse 24 says: "Getting up from there he went to the region of Tire and Sidon and entering a house he did not want anyone to know but" say it with me "but" say it harder "he could not hide, tell him to the person next to him "couldn't hide."

One of the beautiful characteristics of the Ministry of the Lord Jesus when you read His Gospels you will find a characteristic that marked His Ministry and it was the crowds. Where the Lord was the crowds came, it was the days when people were hungry and thirsty. The political systems of the Roman Empire had not been able to meet their needs and neither had the religious systems.

People were so tired of so much sacredness, of so much religiosity that when Jesus appears on the scene everything changes. In Him there was a grace, in Him there was an anointing, He came to break many things with His mere Presence and that is why you see that the Gospels of Mark, John and Luke beautifully describe how the children ran after Jesus . The women, the pots at home cooked alone, the carpentry shops were left unoccupied and the children's playgrounds too because when He appeared people ran, what He spoke filled them, what He expressed touched them. There was a spiritual awakening.

And here we see the first time that He goes to the region of Tire and Sidon with His disciples, possibly he wanted to have some time alone. I don't know if it has happened to you but when you are in the Ministry it is a blessing. I love people, I love people; I would say that I could not live without the people because a ministry without people is a disgrace, bless the Lord for the people.

And more so when we have the Latino people that we are there, that we like, that we don't, oh! kiss comes hug comes and it's beautiful and I love it but there are times when I want to be alone. I love being with my husband. 47 years of marriage, don't worry, I married very young (laughs). We enjoyed our 47 years of marriage to the fullest and I love being with my husband, but there are times when I want to be alone, alone with him and they are my best moments right?

Every morning I have to get up very early to be with Him before the cell phones ring and everything and I have an encounter with the Lord at 5 to 5:30 in the morning, I have the best coffee in the world; He told me: bring two coffees of the best Colombian coffee I have made in the world, sorry (laughs) Costa Ricans tell me: no! and I tell them: talk to God, that's what He told me.

And there is no better time in my life than being able to be alone with Him. And I understand: He wanted to be alone, when the ministry and God has given you the grace, sometimes you will not be able to have privacy anywhere because the people know you; That also means that you have to walk straight, right? that sometimes in the city of Bogotá the traffic is horrible and sometimes a car brushes past you and you say in your own arguments: and what does he think that because I am a woman he comes to run over me? well I'm going to show him and you lift your foot, and the Holy Spirit tells you: be careful, that man may be in the next service that you are going to preach and I say: oh yes Lord forgive me.

And we want to be alone with Him. And Jesus was here and said: We are going to Tire and Sidon, they looked for a house, they entered that house, a time of intimacy and the beautiful thing in which this verse 24 ends is that it ends by saying: "He entered the house but couldn't hide." And this is the title of my message: We can't hide it.

Each of us who have had an experience with Him who have made a decision in our life to love Him and surrender our hearts to Him, but more than a decision, each of us who have been able to experience that He is life, that He is real and that your knowledge of gnosis becomes gynosco, a knowledge brought to a real experience.

And each one of us who has had experiences with Him, I am not talking about emotionalism, please don't get me wrong, I am talking about conviction, I am talking about a reality because we are talking about a Christian life, not a Christian religion, but a life, that which beats every day, that which is real that we love every day more passionately than He is and if we have had an experience with Him we cannot hide Him.

Tell the person next to you: we can't hide you wherever we go we can never hide you. And I'm going to talk to him about why we can't hide him and I'm going to talk to him about precisely why you and I can't hide Jesus from him. Number one: we cannot hide him because the Father never hid him, the Father revealed him.

When you read the Gospel of John you will realize that there is that I call within me that desire to want to present one to one and the other to the other Jesus came with the purpose of redeeming us, saving us, paying our debt , to shed His blood for us but He also came with the purpose that you and I could know the Father.

The Gospel of John in chapter 14 when He is speaking that He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us He in verse 6 said those words that we know very well, He said: "I am the way, I am the Truth and I am the life and no one comes to the Father except through me" and if you go to the Old Testament it is very few times that the name of the Father is known in the Old Testament; Isaiah mentions it a few times and the people describe it at times but not how Shaddai, Shalom, Elion were known, all the names we have of God because the prophets could not make it known, the Son had to come to be able to give to meet the Father.

And that is why in that beautiful chapter 14 when He says: "No one comes to the Father except through Me" Philip asks: Lord, show us the Father? and Jesus said to him: Philip for so long I have been with you and you have not known the Father, whoever has seen Me Philip has seen the Father because the Father and I are one.

And you look at that trajectory the Son wants to reveal the Father but at the same time the Father reveals His Son and that is why we cannot hide him because the Father revealed him, let me show you the processes as he revealed him. The Father revealed it in a beautiful way on the day of His baptism to the crowds when they were, when you go to Matthew chapter 3 verse 16-17 John was baptizing Jesus and verse 17 says: "When the water came up the Spirit of God descended in the form of a dove and then the heavens opened" says the Scripture "and a Voice was heard from heaven that said: This is My beloved Son in whom I have all My pleasure."

And the people heard it, they didn't see anything but they heard it. And there the Father was presenting His oikos, after the baptism at the age of 30, His Son who was, as if to say, we presented Him to social life and He revealed it to the crowds who were there and the crowds heard the Voice of the Father who was saying: "This is My beloved Son in whom My soul is well pleased." He not only revealed it to the crowds, the Father revealed it to Peter because Peter was the disciple who was called to open the door to the Gentiles and his mission was also to bring the Gospel to the Jews and I cannot speak or make it known. what I don't know

That is why the Father had to reveal it to Peter and when you see, that revelation occurs in Matthew chapter 16 from verse 13 to 17 Jesus is with His disciples and Jesus makes His disciples He is no longer with the crowds He is with the disciples and Jesus He tells His disciples because He was preparing them, training them, He asks them two questions. The first question asks you: "Who do men say that I am?"

And he was quick to answer that. Some said: Good Lord, in the streets people say that You are Elijah, that You are Jeremiah, that You are John, that You are one of the prophets. And then Jesus asks them the second question, no longer about what the people were saying, but rather: I am going to paraphrase you in one word: "And now you, the twelve who have walked with Me, we have slept in the same room, we have eaten, we have walked together who do you say I am?" And there was silence.

And one can imagine each disciple looking for the most beautiful words to be able to express them, and this is what sometimes happens to us to talk about Him, it is like our words are limited, as the song says: "♪ There are moments that words do not reach♪" are not enough "♪to tell you what I feel for You my good Jesus♪" and there was silence but then Peter tells him: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" wow.

And Jesus turns around and says to him: "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonas, because what you just said was not revealed to you by your blood or your flesh, but by My Father who is in heaven" blessed be the Lord "But by My Father" "But by My Father" the Father reveals it to the multitudes but the Father reveals it to Peter, Peter would be the spearhead. Peter had to speak to the Jews but Peter in chapter 10 arrives for the first time at Cornelius's house and he did not want to: "No, it cannot be to the Gentiles" but Jesus takes him there, sends him and there for the first time the Gentiles are touched with the revelation of the Son of God.

I cannot make known what I do not know. The Father reveals it to the multitudes, the Father reveals it to Peter but the Father reveals it to Paul because Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, Peter opened the door to the Gentiles but Paul would be the one to carry that message. When you go to the Book of Galatians, chapter 1 and verse 15 and 16, he himself speaks of this experience and look at what he says: "But when it pleased God that he separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His Grace" and then it says "it pleased him to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles."

The Father reveals it to Peter but the Father reveals it to Paul. Why? for Paul was to carry this message to the Gentiles. He was not one of the disciples of Jesus, he was a later disciple which is why Paul's Letters have so much life when you read his epistles; they are life, they are maturity, they are depth, they are an incredible substance because the Son sat on him and the Son dictated to him and he was able to know the Son because the Father revealed the Son to him so that Paul could make the Son of God known.

So we cannot hide him because the Father revealed him to you, because today we know him because the Father has revealed him to us through His Holy Spirit. You and I who are here who have had an experience with Him cannot hide him.

Let me tell you now the means that the Father uses to reveal His Son and the first means that He uses to reveal His Son is the creation itself. Psalm 19 written by David begins by saying this way: "The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament announces the Work of His Hands, one day emits words to another day and one night to another declares wisdom."

Then he says: "There is no language nor are there words nor is His Voice heard" and if you follow that Psalm you will find that the first thing that God establishes to give us to reveal His Son is the creation itself. If you have seen a sunset, if you have seen when the sun is going down, you will know that this sunset speaks to you of its Creator, who is the Son of God. If you see a sunrise and you have a romantic heart you are going to fall in love. The mountains.

I was ecstatic and it's already happening because they told me that autumn in Boston is beautiful and I'm about to take a photograph of a red tree and I haven't had time, we spent like this -zshck-. I want to take some red leaves and some yellow ones and then some green ones later to have the process. Everything that surrounds us: the sky, the Earth, the created God establishes it to reveal His Son.

Now why am I telling you this? because if you go to the Book of Colossians chapter 1 and verse 15 to verse 19 Colossians speaks of that Creator who reveals the Father to us. Very beautiful verse 15 says He speaking of Christ, read it with me is on the screen, say: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." The text that follows say it harder: "For in Him all things were created, those that are in heaven" say it hard "and on earth visible and invisible, whether thrones, dominions, principalities, or powers" say it " everything was created through Him and for Him and He is before all things and all things exist through Him" blessed be His Name.

He was the Creator of this Earth, He made the mountains, He made the valleys, He made the plains, He established the rivers, He made all this beautiful that we have finished and damaged but all creation proclaims, proclaims existence of the Son of God reveals it and when you go to see that creation from now on you cannot see it as you saw it before; He created it for you and me and the Father uses creation to cry out to reveal His Son.

But the second thing the Father uses is His Word. If you have His Word, please pick it up, say: this Word from Genesis to Revelation speaks to me about the Son of God, this Word is framed in the Son of God from Genesis to Revelation.

Chapter 1 of the Gospel of John verses 1 and 2 says: "In the beginning was the Word" and the Word is the Word "and the Word was with God and the Word was God, this was in the beginning with God" and if it comes down to verse 14 "And that Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we saw His Glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of Grace and Truth" blessed and praised be His Name.

This Word from Genesis to Revelation declares the existence of the Son of God, this Word reveals the Son of God to you. When you go to Genesis you find the proto Gospel, when you go to Genesis chapter 3 it tells you there about the seed of the woman. When you go through each part when it talks about Noah's Ark it is a type of Christ. When you look at the people of Israel coming out of slavery that night that paschal lamb that they had to sacrifice in each house and that each family had to eat it and that they did not put as bait and that it was eaten and that nothing could be left there speaks of the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

He is everywhere, every thing in the desert was a type of Christ a shadow of what was to come. The manna speaks to you of Christ, the rock speaks to you of Christ, the raised serpent speaks to you of Christ, the tabernacle speaks to you of Christ; you see the angel of Jehovah: it is a manifestation of Christ in the Old Testament.

When Melchizedek appears to Abraham he is speaking of Christ; all the Word, the door of the tabernacle was Christ. The Father uses not only the creation, He uses the Word. Behind the words is the Word.

When you read this Word you will realize when the Holy Spirit takes you and you begin to mark. Because if you are in that dimension of the Spirit you will see it through all this wonderful Word. It is not only in the New Testament, it was not when he came and was incarnated in the womb of Mary, no no no. All the prophets spoke of Him: Zechariah spoke of Him, Isaiah spoke of Him, the entire Old Testament.

That is why the Old Testament is of incalculable wealth. The Father uses creation to reveal His Son, the Father uses the Word to reveal His Son, and the Father uses works of power to reveal His Son.

In Luke chapter 5 verse 12 to 15: "It happened that while He was in one of the cities a man full of leprosy appeared, who, seeing Jesus, prostrated himself with his face to the ground saying: Lord, if you want you can cleanse me. Then He stretched out his hand and touched him and said: I want to, he was cleansed and immediately the leprosy left him" and look at this "and He ordered him not to tell anyone."

If he does not see, he told him: "Show yourself to the priest, offer for your purification as Moses commanded for their testimony. I want you to read verse 15 very loudly with me: "But" say it hard "but his fame spread more and more and he gathered many people to hear him and to be healed of their diseases."

He insisted many times that this is not the first passage, in many passages He performed the miracle and said: "Don't tell anyone." How different today, right? Today I see that in the great crusades it is hype and maraca.

Examine yourself, run here to the platform, the power of God. Jesus did the healings and he did them in such a way that in the crusades that Jesus did he always ended up saying: "And they were all healed." When the disciples began to minister in the Power of the Spirit it also says: "And they were all healed." Today some are healed and we make bass drums and maracas with drums and everything, we have new manifestations that I don't know if they are in heaven but there is talk, for example, of the domino anointing.

The drums sound and: brrr the preacher says: and a domino anointing is going to come and when one falls everyone falls and everyone eats the story and everyone: brrrrr. If you are Dominican, you say: now stand up and go to the other side: brrr.

Beloved: what I want to tell you is that Jesus never, never made such a noise, people were healed, the Father was glorified. When God uses you He will heal, He will be glorified, He will receive glory, honor, power and praise because only as we sang He is worthy, there is no one else.

So the Father reveals the Son and the Father uses nature and the Father uses His Word and the Father uses the works of power that flowed around Jesus but I come to my third point which is confrontational for you and me. The Father wants to reveal His Son, we are the only ones who will hinder Him from being revealed and He being made known to others.

We are living in a very difficult but very wonderful time. I come from a country where I am going to tell you: I think this is happening everywhere in Latin America; We travel through many nations, we have many commitments and you can have a vision of your Church, this Church is a beautiful Church, I have been able to observe its Pastors in the times that I come and I said to Pastor Roberto and I am not saying it to throw flowers at him Because I have already won their two hearts, I no longer need that, but I said: if I lived in Boston I would be in this Church and I would be under this cover, sure, don't doubt it.

And I have been able to see beautiful things in both of them because God put them both. Meche has been a gift and I can see that accessory, I can see her as a super organized woman, it's not that you're not organized (laughs) everything, everything was ready for us, even the umbrellas were ready for if it rained right? and we went out to the mall like good women the next day and when we left the center it started to rain and I said: Susan, your umbrella, "oh, it stayed in the hotel" well, come with mine because Meche said you have to load them in the briefcase.

But everything was, we had everything. We didn't even go to check-in at the hotel because when we arrived he already had the keys for us but I've also observed him, hehe (laughs). And I, we have not discussed this with Susan but it is the feeling of my heart and surely hers: it does not always happen, we go to a place, we preach, we minister with all the passion that is in our hearts because it is not just another job It is a very big responsibility for us; that remains the same as at the beginning that we began, we tremble to know.

We know that God blessed but he did some things. For example: last night we were eating with Meche and he called and called to bless us, he called to say that our work had been edifying, that the women had been blessed. It is a Pastor who hands you over to preach and there it is because today the Pastors hire you for a while, they hand you over and leave and then come and the same psalmists.

But I have seen in this man a true pastoral heart and a father, he and she are fathers. I saw him in the video carrying the rug, I caught a glimpse of his bald spot on the back and I assumed it was him but I like that, do you know why? because today there is so much sophistication of the ministers. Some time ago a super anointed man arrived in Colombia, he had a meeting with the Pastors of the fields, people who you know have a lot of work and when he finished his first session after praying, one of the peasant Pastors went to approach him; the bodyguards took him out: do not touch the Anointed One, he is under the anointing and he could die and that Peasant Pastor in such a beautiful way says: so strange, when Jesus came the one who touched him lived this anointing, I do not know it (applause).

I don't know this anointing, I don't know it either, I don't know the one who came who let himself be touched, the one who came who got among the people, the one who came who got among the people, the one who came who loved the people and who gave His life to the last breath.

And we have a worldview because we go to many places of how the Church is today and one of the things that bothers me is that we have lost the vision of how to reveal Him. We have lost the priority of making Him known. In the 70s I converted to the Lord and every moment there were campaigns, a great man of God Gigi Ávila, a faithful man of God, had just died, that man who cast the nets and simply exalted the Lord with his message: Christ is coming soon to us led to live a life of holiness because we did not know if this night was coming.

There are no evangelistic campaigns anymore. I come from a country where I want to tell you: people have literally happened to us, people come up and say: what do you have? I want what you have, like this, like this; where if you are careless you do not cast your nets because there are so many people who are looking for God and there is so much struggle for which they are living that they are looking for a solution to their problems, you and I have the solution and we have forgotten evangelization, we have forgotten make him known.

And you and I are the only ones who can be the obstacle for Him to be revealed to others. Follow me to a passage in the Book of Matthew chapter 26 verse 69 to verse 74 and listen to this, verse 69 says: "Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard and a maid came up to him saying: You were also with Jesus the Galilean but he denied in front of everyone saying: I don't know what you're saying." Verse 71: "Going out to the door, he saw another and said to those who were there: this man was also with those who were with Jesus the Nazarene but he denied again with an oath: I do not know the man."

"A little later those who were there approached and said to Peter: Truly you are also one of them because even your way of speaking reveals you. Then he began to curse and swear: I do not know the man and immediately the rooster crowed. Then Peter left He remembered the words that Jesus had said to him: "Before the rooster crows Peter, you will deny me three times" and going outside he wept bitterly "this was one of the twelve but more than one of the twelve he was one of the three.

The closest to Jesus were Peter, John and James. That was the disciple who went up with Him to the Mount of Transfiguration, saw Him transfigure. This was the only disciple who walked on the water. In the middle of the storm in the dark night when they saw him believing that he was a ghost, Peter himself said: Lord, if it is You, command me, command me to go to You walking in the same way that You seem to come to us, Peter, come out of the boat and come and Peter walked and overcame the law of nature of gravity because Jesus was there.

This was the disciple who just said those words that I read in Matthew 16: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Peter was the one who shortly before at the Last Supper he said to him: Lord, even if everyone denies you, I will never deny you. I am ready to go with You and for You until death." He was the disciple who saw the multiplication of loaves and fish, saw the paralyzed rise up. He saw the mute speak, the deaf hear, he saw the supernatural that was in Jesus and here three times and with a curse he said: I don't know the man and the rooster crowed and his heart was saddened, he recognized that he was denying it.

It says that Jesu s' look returned Peter's heart to him this was the same disciple. Subsequent to this we find a different Peter in Acts chapter 2 when the Holy Spirit descended on Pentecost and we see him transformed. We see a Peter rise up in the Power of the Spirit, in courage and to that crowd make him known and reveal the Son of God in a supernatural way, take the Scriptures, confront the Scriptures of the prophets.

Put your finger on the sore: "you crucified him" and touch them in such a way that they repented and that first day three thousand people came to know. That was the man who later in Acts chapter 4 verse 12 and 13, after being released from prison, told him: we are going to give you freedom but you will never preach in that Name again and Peter stood up and said to them: judge if it is fair obey men before God; never ask us for that because we can never stop saying what we have seen and what we have heard.

And I have to tell you something: you and I are the only people who can really hide it. We need to reveal it not only by speaking, your life has to be a revelation of Christ in your house because many husbands do not reach the feet of Christ, or you can come to Church and serve all you want but how is your behavior as a wife at home?

How is your conduct as a son, a young man who has known the Lord, who comes to Church, who is perhaps still happy in a ministry of praise and adoration? How can your parents know with such a traditional religious mentality of our Latin American countries, how can they know? don't preach the Sunday sermon to them, they don't understand it. Do not tell them that they are worshiping virgins and saints, they do not understand, they do not understand, the Holy Spirit has to bring them a revelation so that they understand. Don't burn their statues. Live Christ in your life as a young person, what you have to do when you see mom there washing the dishes there organizing tell her: mother I want to honor you let me do it.

When mom gets to your room she finds it shiny and says: what happened to this boy? I don't see the underpants hanging on the wall, I don't see the stockings; no something happened where is it going? there are no words, there is Presence.

I knew the testimony of an alcoholic woman involved in a terrible alcoholism. And he says that one night he was returning from the canteens, the services were still being held at night and a church had its doors open, like the one in León de Judá, and the woman thought it was a canteen with beautiful music. She stood at the door drunk as she was and heard the songs and God began to play her and then the Pastor came, preached an evangelistic message, made the call; He was the only person who passed the door, staggering and fell to his knees crying on the floor. That night that woman received God in her heart.

The Pastors then prayed for her, sat her down, took her information, and promised to visit her. Eight days later the Shepherds went to visit her. The house was in a mechanical workshop, behind the house the workshop was like in a part of the garage and when they got there the man who took care of them was all dirty, full of grease and they asked him about the woman, he got scared and said : and now what did he do?

Then the Pastor said: don't look, we are Pastors of a Church, eight days ago at night she received Jesus in her heart and today we want to come to disciple her, to pray for her and the furious man took them out: get out of here, no! I want to know anything! I'm an atheist I don't believe in God! and drove the Shepherds running.

That woman went on Sundays. Six months passed and one afternoon this man came to the Church asking for the Pastor and when the Pastor made him follow him to his office he said: sit down, what can I do for you? This was what the broken man told him: Pastor, I have been an atheist all my life, I have refuted all the Christian books that have come into my hand; I have mocked your God, the Book of God, but six months ago, Pastor, I have an open book in my house that I have not been able to refute. It is a silent book Pastor.

And she began to cry and said: today at home my little children are bathed and changed. Today at home I have a hot meal that I had never had, vulgarities were never heard more in my house, we did not fight again, my clothes are clean; my wife cares for me and loves me, that open book Pastor is my wife's life and I am here because I want to know that she knew.

We can never hide it. If you have had an experience with Him you cannot hide it. Let me tell you this: 38 years ago I met the Lord, I didn't meet him in a Church, don't be scandalized. Many evangelicals knocked on the door of my house to bring a message and we closed our door and said: we are Catholic, Apostolic and Roman and we don't want them to change our religion.

We were in a wedding with my husband who were godparents and in that marriage we were at a party, marriage is a party and we were introduced to a couple from the national navy who came to hold a position of port captain in my city, which is a seaport. The husband was a Rotarian in another city and now he came to this city and so they wanted to connect them: my husband at that time was Rotarian president, they approached us and introduced them to us, my husband started talking to her husband and I started talking with this woman and I began to ask her, to make her feel at home, to welcome her to the city and, well, many things.

We were chatting and this woman started talking to me, I don't know why she started talking to me about this wonderful Christ. But he didn't speak to me in religious ways, he spoke to me with a passion that for me to have stopped dancing for two hours this was very good. And I got sucked in. She spoke in a simple non-theological way, listen: simple, it was wonderful. When my husband comes I said: let's go. So we invited them to eat the next day at our house, they arrived at night; then my husband went with her husband to the living room, I stay with her and I tell her her name is Huester because she has already left with the Lord, I tell her: Huester: keep talking to me about what you told me yesterday, follow me talking about Jesus.

And she told me: no, I can't talk to you anymore, now you have to make a decision and I told her: what is that? and she said: now you have to receive it in your heart. I told him: how can I do it like this, what do I have to do? I never forget: she took out a brochure of this size and she said: look, the Bible says number one that we are all sinners, number two the Bible says that sin made a division between us and God, number three the Bible says that in such a way so God loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son so that He would die for you, for me and for our sins.

Number four: the Bible says that He came to reconcile the Father to us. And number five told me, the Bible says in Romans that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved because with the heart one believes for justice but with the mouth one confesses for salvation.

And I was crying at the time. What she was reading to me had broken my heart and I told her: and how do I do it? and I closed my eyes and she began to pray a very simple prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ: I recognize that I am a sinner. I come to You because I need a Savior. I ask that today you forgive my sins, that Your precious blood washes me clean and today I surrender my life to you forever and ever, amen and amen."

And I was crying and I could hardly express what she was saying and then she said to me: amen and I kept crying: amen, amen she said and amen and amen and she said to me: open your eyes. And I opened my eyes and she told me: okay, and I tell her, what about? Jesus has already entered, and how does he know? because here it says do you know why? because that woman who brought me to the feet of Christ only had eight days of having received that Christ of whom she was speaking to me. Eight days.

And you know what beloved? I told her that night: lend me the little book and she told me: no, it's the only one I have, I told her: I promise that tomorrow, do you know what time they gave me? I copied it by hand and stapled it, there were no photocopiers at that time. I want to tell you: on December 24 at 6 pm I had done the same thing and had brought my two best friends to the feet of Christ.

And I want to tell you something else: 38 years have passed, I have never done explosive or dynamic evangelism or reactive or nuclear evangelism because we always say: it's not me, no. The only thing I did from that day on was tell others what great things God had done with my life.

I don't know how many thousands and thousands of souls I have brought to the feet of Christ, I can't do it from a pulpit, but I want to tell you: on a plane, in a car, in a taxi, in the market, paying the market at the checkout I will never be able to stop talking about him, never, never. I have taken it to generals of the nation as supremely simple people. Wonderful experiences and with Susan where we go, where we walk, where we stop, this nation needs the Christ of glory to be revealed again.

This nation gave Latin America the most marvelous missionary share that has ever been seen. We met Christ because this nation sent its missionaries and they gave their lives, today God has brought us so that we impart to them the revelation of the Son of God.

Don't tell me you don't know the language. You heard the testimony this morning Susan talked about how we share with Moroccan people. In Russia we shared a girl on the tram, we didn't know how to say: niet, dah, spasiva and no more. As? don't ask me but that girl received Christ being Russian.

The Holy Spirit is going to come and he is going to train you, the Holy Spirit is going to come and he is going to anoint you, but the most important thing is that what you share is shared with the passion of that wonderful Christ who has touched our lives. We can never stop saying and telling what we have seen. Every person who crosses your path is an opportunity.

Hell knows me because hell knows that where I pass I snatch the souls that go to hell and divert them to heaven. Our family, our children. Some four years ago, Jhonatan and Stephanie, our oldest grandchildren told Susan and me: we want to learn to evangelize, how do we do it? and I said: walk with us, listen to us, look at us and you will learn.

We were returning from Mexico with Jhonatan in July and when we got off the plane they had sent me to first class he went back and forth there and Jhonatan my grandson says to me: ah! I shared with the one next to me! and I say to him: and he converted? She tells me: no better than that, she had been a Christian, she was deviated, she was cold and she was reconciled with God.

It is a wonderful passion. I came from the city of Chihuahua very tired, I had had a very congested schedule and when I arrived I had to do Chihuahua-Mexico and Mexico-Bogotá and I came very tired and I said: Lord, You know that I love talking about You but I am tired. I have to prepare a topic for another conference that was given in two days and I had to go on a trip. I am going to take advantage of these two hours. Lord, please: You know that I love talking about You, but don't name anyone, I don't want to talk to anyone ; I want to study, I want to prepare two hours.

I arrived, at my position there was an eight-year-old boy at the window and a young woman in the middle with her hearing aids and I said: amen, keep your hearing aids, I don't want anything. So when the plane left and when we were able to open it I took out my iPad, I took out my Bible and I started going through some notes that I had from a message when I see that the girl, a very pretty girl removes her headphones, turns around and I He says: can I ask you a question? yes I told you, are you a writer? and I told her: well, not so much a writer, yes I already wrote a little book I told her and I was writing another but more than a writer I am a lecturer.

Oh yeah what? and I know that heaven sent me the signal right there: forget it, I'll answer for you, but fix this. Two hours, two hours with a little 24-year-old girl with an 8-year-old son with a very sad life, two hours ministering to her, two wonderful hours. Two hours in which God brought this girl to His feet, that God restored her life, that God changed many things.

Arriving and landing he says: no, I can't miss this opportunity and tells the boy: take a picture of us and I said: and I another because that goes to my collection of all the ones we've won. I received mail that I had sent to a Pastor from Playa del Carmen because she was going to Playa del Carmen to do her work and I connected them and you will believe; she writes there: those two hours were wonderful. In those two hours I learned to love her, in those two hours my life changed, in those two hours they marked and since I stopped seeing you until now you don't know how many wonderful things have happened and have changed my life.

We can never hide it. Please put this Scripture on my screen and with this we close. First John chapter 1 is our challenge verses 1 through 4, you can never hide it ever. First John chapter 1 verse 1 and read it very loudly that is on the screen: "What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have contemplated and handled with our hands regarding the Word of life Because life was manifested and we have seen it and we testify and we announce to you the eternal life which was with the Father and it was manifested to us" say it loudly on the 3rd "what we have seen and heard we announce to you so that you too may have fellowship with us and our fellowship truly is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ."

"These things we write to you so that your joy may be full" we can never hide it. If you have seen him, if you have contemplated him, if you have touched him, if you have loved him, if you have had an experience with him, let me tell you: you can never hide it; say it there: I can never hide it, ever.

It's not our fears, we need to stand above it. We need to talk about Him on time and out of time with our words but also with our attitudes. People have to see Him in us, they have to see Him in your life. You have to provoke a question: what do you have that you are different? and you answer: no what, who do I have that I am different, I have Him. He changed my life, He transformed my life, He can transform your life.

Say it with me: we can never hide it. I want you to stand up for a second. Oh yes sir. Allow me before praying for the entire Congregation to ask a question and my question is if there are people here who were invited to this service by a relative, a friend who invited you to come for the first time. We must know him as I knew him long ago. Raise your hand to me there and let me pray for you.

God bless you, have your hand raised for me, God bless you. And I want to ask you to come forward here, let me pray for you and let's give you a round of applause as you come through. Come here ahead, come here ahead. God bless you, God bless you, keep applauding the King of Glory, come, welcome, welcome, welcome. Come here ahead, come here ahead. Wow how cute, wow, praise him we will never be able to hide him. We have seen it, we have touched it, we have heard it.

It is so that your joy with ours may be one. Walk forward here and let me pray look at whole families how beautiful Lord thank you Is there anyone else, is there anyone else, is there anyone else? It is not a change of religion, it is a change of life, it is a changed transformed life, we will never and will never be the same as we were. Today is your day, what a blessing, what a blessing and thank you for giving me the privilege today of taking you to the feet of the Lord.

I want you to do the same thing I did 38 years ago. Please close your eyes for a moment and I want you to repeat out loud: Lord Jesus Christ, I acknowledge that you died on the cross of Calvary for my sins. Today I come to You Lord because I need a Savior and I need to ask you for forgiveness for all my sins and open the doors of my heart, invite you to enter my life and rule my life forever from this day. Thank you Lord for Your death on the cross for my sins. Today I publicly confess you as my God, as my Lord and as my personal Savior. Amen.

I want you to reach out your hands to them, those who are close can you please put your hands on them? and Father we thank you for this beautiful harvest that you have given us in each meeting Lord, thank you Lord for the life of each one for the families. We ask that Your blessing come upon them now. Father, I do not know their needs but You know them and I ask you, Lord, that You touch every need, every family, every man, every woman, every child, and that You fill them in this moment with Your peace and Your love.

We give them the most glorious welcome to the family of God today and we thank you for them in Jesus Name amen.
