Those who wait for Jehovah will have new strength

Isaiah 40 from 25 to 31: "To what then will you make me like or compare me, says the Holy One? Lift up your eyes then and see who created these things; He brings out and counts his army. He calls them all by name, none will be missing Such is the greatness of his strength and the power of his dominion. Why do you say, O Jacob, and you speak Israel, My way is hidden from the Lord and my judgment passed from my God? Have you not known, have you not heard that the Eternal God is Jehovah who created the ends of the earth? He does not faint or fatigue with weariness and his understanding is not reached by him; He gives effort to the weary and multiplies the strength to those who have none."

"The boys get tired and get tired. The young men falter and fall, but" but, but, but, "those who wait for the Lord will have new strength, they will raise wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not get tired Those who hope in Jehovah will have new strength, they will raise wings like the eagle, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not get tired."

Father: in the Name of Jesus we praise you, we bless you, you are good and your mercy is forever. Lord look here Your people, You know we are in need, we need you in this more than ever, we need you Lord, we cannot without You. We hope Lord that You help us to wait on You because You are a faithful, powerful, majestic God. Lord even if it takes time sooner or later You fulfill what you promise, help us to wait on You no matter how long it takes us for the glory of Jesus Christ. And the people say: amen.

And before you sit down, tell two or three sisters: sister, take flight. Brother, soar, brother, soar, sister, take flight, take flight like the eagle, take flight sister, take flight brother, raise your wings.

Look at the Book of Isaiah, although Isaiah was a prophet of the Old Testament and was long before the birth of Jesus Christ, he is known as the messianic prophet because Isaiah had a revelation of this Messiah, this promised one who was coming for his people. Isaiah saw His birth, He saw His life, He saw His crucifixion, His resurrection, He saw His Second Coming, and so that is why he presents this Messiah to you in such a total, so expansive way.

During his reign the people of Israel were already divided into two groups: ten tribes formed the northern part of Israel that would be called Israel, two tribes formed the southern part of Israel, it was called Judah, and Israel, the ten tribes were in captivity for those of Assyria, for disobedience, for their sin, for their lack of faith, brothers God is a God of mercy but God also punishes sin.

I don't like to hear about judgment because it scares me, but the truth is that God has to punish sin because God is holy, amen? what one sows you will reap. Life is based on decisions and consequences, choices and consequences, if you make a decision, if it is good it will have good results, if it is bad it will have bad results, it is a principle that we have to accept. Then the people were taken captive by the Assyrians for their disobedience.

And the prophet had already prophesied to the southern group, to Judah, that they too, because of their disobedience, were going to be taken captive by the Babylonians, so the people were in poor condition, they were complaining, they were asking themselves questions. But here in chapter 40 which is known as the chapter of comfort, because God despite the disobedience, despite the weaknesses, God was still supporting his people.

God is a good God my brothers. If God were to fight, well I'm going to speak for myself, it seems that you are all glorified saints, I am still a sinner saved by grace, if God were to fight with me according to the way that sometimes I behave, think or do I would no longer be here, they were smelling the flowers, well not the flowers, the grave, you know? but I thank him that God has been so merciful that even when I lack him, when I falter, when I despair, when I faint, when I lament, when I complain, God looks, it's like he looks at me; I know that God lives in the Bronx (laughs) because I know that God looks at me and says: Hey girl, hey listen, look sweetheart, flower, get up and keep walking girl, don't sit there crying, stop, shake yourself , shake it up, well sorry, shake it up.

You know the good thing about female preachers? that we can do things, well nowadays men do that too but anyway, do you understand me? I can do things that the Pastor cannot because if the Pastor starts: shake it up you say: blessed, it's changed (laughs). But anyway, anyway, then I know that the Lord tells me: shake off, get rid of those regrets, get rid of the sin of your life, straighten up so that you can see My glory here in the land of the living, amen?

Because there are blessings, there are promises that have my name: Lilian Gutiérrez, they are not for anyone else, only Lilian Gutiérrez and the only one who can harm this stew is called Lilian Gutiérrez, because neither the devil, nor the devil, nor man, nor the past, neither present nor what is to come can destroy the plan that God has for my life, the only one that can destroy it is me.

So there are times that the Pastors, I know that you in Boston are sophisticated, I know that here in what do you call it, New England? New England, here you are sophisticated but there in the Bronx sister, say with me, you are already a witness: there in the Bronx the people demand, ask, complain, they blame the Pastors for everything, that Pastor, that Pastor does not let me , they hold me, they stop me.

Are we bigger than God? No one is going to stop God's plan, only you yourself are going to destroy it. And that is why the Lord asks them: Why are you complaining that I have forgotten? Why do you already believe that I have already withdrawn? You do not know that I will never leave you, that I will never give up, I am not like your father. Maybe your father left you when you were a baby, I'm not like your father. Maybe your husband left you for another, I am not like your husband. Maybe your children left home, I am not like your children. Maybe your family doesn't understand you, I'm not like your family; Don't you know that I am above all things and in all things? Don't you know that I am the great Creator that nothing happens without My permission, that nothing greater than Me, that nothing passes over Me? Don't you know that I am God Elohim that I have the power to create something good out of nothing?

Don't you know that I can take a crooked thing and make it right? Don't you know that I can catch a disease and heal that body? don't you know that I can take a crooked mind and straighten it once more? Don't you know that I can bring your children out of addictions? Don't you know that I can cut the prison chains and get your children out of jails? Don't you know that I am greater than the hosts of the Earth and I can supply you with the roles that you need? Don't you know that I can open doors that man cannot close and I can close doors that men cannot open? Don't you know that I am the God who is over all?

And in these days more than ever my brothers who are in such difficult times we have to see God in His fullness and I am preaching to myself, because there are times that I faint, falter, and God himself tells me: Don't you know who I am? the same God that healed my mom from stomach cancer, the same God that gave my dad his mind back when he lost it, don't you know that I did that thirty-three years ago and I'm still the same? amen?

The Lord healed my mom, he restored my dad's mind, who had lost it. Thirty-three years have passed, my dad died three years ago at 92, my mom is still alive at almost 90 and still, look.

I told him in the morning, well I'll repeat it because good things have to be repeated, but I am from the fifties and sixties era with discos and I have always liked parties, I confess: I still like a good meringue. I know that the Pastor is going to scold me later but that's ok, I'm going to the Bronx today (laughs) to scold me, I can take it, I'm a big girl, but the truth is that still.

Do you know why? because the meat Jesus said: The flesh gives life to the flesh, the spirit gives life to the spirit, that's why we have to increase the spirit to kill the flesh, do you understand? that's why we have to attack. Watch some soap operas, oh my god, omg, there are some shows that you shouldn't watch because when you watch certain things wow, do you understand? ok let's go to another topic (laughs).

God is good because he does good things but the Lord healed my dad, my mom. As I told you, I used to go out in the fifties and sixties, I went to the clubs there at parties because I always liked parties, right? and there I would go out the doors, on Friday nights he would go out at midnight because things got good after midnight, you know? So at midnight I was already in my jeans, headbands walking out the door and there was my mom standing at the door, and these are the words she said to me as a farewell: "May the Holy Spirit take you away tonight at the disco. "

That was worse than calling me a sinner, you're going to hell (laughs) because look: there were times when I was there at the disco with the bugaloo and I felt that something was shaking me, the Holy Spirit was working with me. Because there is something called preventing grace, it is grace before grace. God struggles with us little by little until the day we meet him. Look, God is so precious that he doesn't throw us away, but rather works, works until the day you arrive, what a wonderful God, amen?

So she still drags like that because she's 90, but she still tells me things like: may the Lord send you to India, may the Lord send you to preach in Africa and I: put your finger down, put your finger down, put your finger down, because there is an authority that the believer has who is right standing with the Lord. Jesus said: we give you the keys of the Kingdom of God, you have the authority to give and unleash and many times the devil knocks us down, life destroys us because we do not take the authority we have in Christ Jesus, and we can look; keys are symbols of authority why? because the key closes and the key opens. So when the enemy comes against us we have the authority to close the lies and unleash the truths.

Then we can say: this problem is not going to destroy me because I am more than a winner in Christ Jesus and you are not going to steal my children because I and my house will be saved, I and my house will serve Jehovah. If God is with me, who against me? Jehovah is my Shepherd, I will lack nothing, and we have that authority. Jesus said it: "You have the key."

Brother, I told you this morning: don't lose your keys. Do you know that one of the first things that we lose, I speak for myself is: where is the key, where is the key? we lose the keys Brother: don't lose the keys to the Kingdom, keep them in your pocket 24/7, what's more, sleep with them in your pajamas, put the key in because we are in tough times.

The enemy does not sleep, on the contrary, as time goes by, the Word says that his fury will increase even more against the people of God. I don't know about you Pastor, after thirty-three years these days I am praying harder than I prayed before, I am under a stronger attack than I was before, I find myself fighting harder than I did before, but I have also found something and as Pablo said: when I feel weak is when I have felt the strongest. Why? because the grace of God is perfected in weaknesses.

So the weaker, the more overloaded, the stronger I am in Christ Jesus because I am not depending on myself, I am depending on the Lord Almighty. The Lord tells the people: Those who hope in Me will have new strength, they will mount wings like the eagle, they will run, they will walk and they will not get tired.

Let me tell you something about the eagle that is such a wonderful creature. Look at the eagle, when the eagle raises its wings it looks, it soars. Do you know that the chickens, what the chickens do? they hit themselves. Do you know that the flac chicken is not moving? the eagle does not hit, the eagle soars. The Lord does not want us like chickens beating, the Lord says: Look soar, get up like a man, tighten your girdle, tighten your mind, hold on to your emotions, soar like an eagle, soar above the storms; when the storm appears to the eagle the eagle soars higher to go above.

Brothers, sisters: the Lord does not want the storms to overcome us, he wants us to overcome the storms because we have the power to do and put under our feet everything that comes our way. Are we going to get wet? oh yeah, are you going to get your hair wet? oh yeah, are you gonna sweat? oh yeah, is your pantyhose going to break? yeah, is your makeup going to be damaged? The Pastor is looking at me badly (laughs). Is your makeup going to be damaged? are you going to pay the price? oh yes but let me tell you: it is worth it in Christ Jesus because in the end we are going to have the victory, we are going to have the victory, and what the enemy sends him to kill him God uses to raise him up.

The problem that seems to destroy him, the Lord will allow him to show himself as the strong giant that He is. That is why he told the people: Are you comparing me to someone, are you comparing me to something? do not reduce me to your family, do not reduce me to your problems, do not put me at the same level as humans because I am greater, I am above all things and that is why those who hope in Me will ultimately have the strength necessary.

Look, he says: even young people falter, they faint. Look at so many young people these days with depression and committing suicide, so many horrible things, that's how the world is, brothers, but you don't have to kill yourself because there is a resource, there is life in Christ Jesus. Jesus said: "The devil comes to lie, steal and destroy, I came so that they may have life and life in abundance." The Lord came so that we may have abundant life.

Do you know the difference between existing and living? exist you get up in the morning, wash your face, brush your teeth, if you don't have teeth, take them out of the box you left them in the night before, brush yourself, comb two or three hairs, drink your coffee, he goes to work, gets into the subway, leaves the subway, gets into the house, eats dinner, watches the news, watches the novel: the ill-loved, the cat, my heart; Uh huh, I didn't know you saw it (laughs). Pastor, Pastor, that's why they don't come to church during the week because they are seeing the cat, the ill-loved one, my heart, I like it, my heart is yours, do you know why? because that Jorge Celina is hot (laughs), I'm single and without commitment, may the Lord forgive me, the Pastor is going to mess with me.

Sisters wow, anyway, ok where was I? oh my God, I told you that I am a sinner saved by grace, look I'm already sweating. That's why Pastor doesn't come to Church and on Saturday nights I know you're with the jackal (laughs). But look, learn from the jackal: when something doesn't work, get out! When something doesn't suit you, get out! When the devil gets into your house, get out! When the demons want to knock you down, get out! when something is presented that should not be there, out! when problems arise that you did not seek them out! that is what we have to do in the Name of Jesus, by the blood of the Lamb, there is authority in Christ.

We don't have to die in the storms, we can soar like the eagle. Don't be like the chicken, soar like the eagle, raise your wings. What's more: when the storm gets stronger, the eagle soars stronger. And do you know anything else about the eagle? when it takes flight, it does not lower its wings until it reaches its destination. We have to persevere and persevere, and persevere, we can't give up halfway, we have to continue this path that we started.

Jacob wrestled with the angel. We know that it was the second person of the Trinity before the incarnation, that was Jesus who was wrestling with James. Jacobo was in need, he had committed a foolish thing, he was paying the price because that's life but God is good and Jacobo fought because he wanted the Lord to bless him. He struggled and even God himself told him: Look, morning is coming, let me go, but Jacobo said to him: Lord, I will not let you go until You bless me here.

God said: do you know something? you fought with men, you fought with God and I am happy to bless you so I am going to give you the blessing that you want. What's more, I'm going to change even your name, you're not going to be a liar anymore, now you're going to be a prince of Jehovah and the Lord touched his hip as a reminder that the Lord had blessed him. He came out limping but he was the most blessed lame in the world, because there are times when it is better to limp with the blessing than to walk with nothing, you know? worth the price.

And look at another thing about the eagle's wings: at the tip of the wing they have five tiny feathers, so when there is no wind that the eagle needs to stay strong, when it looks for a storm and cannot find it, the eagle spreads those five feathers and begins to do them like this, he begins to create his own wind until he can go up again.

You have your own feathers. You don't have to wait for the Pastor or the worship group to tell you to adore God, to praise Him because you have the strength, you have the right, you have the privilege to praise the Lord wherever you are, amen ?

On one occasion King David found himself in a very serious problem and neither the priest nor the prophet was there but David supported himself, he strengthened himself in the Lord, he himself had to support himself. Pastor: there are times when one needs someone the most, it has happened to me, when I have needed someone the most the machine appears: we are not here right now but if you leave your name and number. When I have needed someone the most I have not found anyone but the Lord told Jeremiah: Cry out to Me and I will answer you.

When everyone is busy I am going to make time for you, learn to cry out to Me, do not wait for the Shepherd. Look, as I tell others, I am not even depending on medicare, obama care, I don't care, I am depending on the Lord Jesus Christ, my support is the Lord, my resource is the Lord, my all is the Lord . If the Lord wants to use medicare, whatever is fine, but if one day they take it away I have a God who is a healer, if one day I lose something I have a God who can provide what I need because God is more than enough, more enough, but those who hope in Jehovah will have new strength, they will not faint, they will not be defeated, they will not lose their salvation, they will not lose blessings, they will receive what they need, no matter the time that catches him, we have to persevere.

You know what? the Lord has to be Caribbean because God is never in trouble. I know that here you walk slowly, there in New York, there you run, you know, the train opens the doors, you, the door opens and you run out, there you run, there you don't walk, we are always in trouble; rush, rush, rush. The Lord is never in trouble. The Lord is either from the Dominican Republic or from Puerto Rico (laughs).

The psalmist wrote: "how long Lord? Until when?" and as the Lord said: Until I say, as long as it takes. The day that the Lord, the Lord has the propitious time for everything. The day the Lord says: Today is the day, and the thing is that we don't know, we don't know what that is going to be, we don't know if it will be today, if it will be tomorrow, the day after, no we know when but we know that what God promises God fulfills, what God has for you, for this Church and I have seen it with my own eyes, twenty-two years ago I would not have imagined something as majestic as this, wow. Look at what the Lord has done, look at what the Lord has done through His heaven of course, I know it's the Lord.

And as long as we continue to wait on the Lord, the Lord is going to provide, and I don't know why I am sorry to tell you here, prophetically, that the Lord is going to open doors of work that many are waiting for because there are many here who have needs, but wait for the The Lord is going to teach you that He is capable of opening doors that you never expected because God is a provider God, He is still Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides what you need.

My brother-in-law lost his job I don't know if I told you the other time, a brother-in-law of mine lost his job, they had a very difficult time but he is a man of God who prays, a young but serious boy who waited, and everyone that day: look, sell the house, you can't pay the mortgage anymore and he said: no, God is going to provide, God is going to provide, that's how it stayed. There came a time when a new company opened, his town, he lives on Long Island, they sent for him, when he came in the man interviewed him and the man said: Mr. Narcisse because he is from Haiti, Haitian, he said: Mr. Narcisse I like you so much that look, two things, number one: I'm going to give you another position from which you came and applied, I'm going to put you as a supervisor of a group of men. Number two: the salary that I am going to give you is thirty thousand, thirty thousand, thirty thousand dollars more than what I offered you, and you are going to be over a group of men, precisely some of them are here in a conference room that I'm working with them, come and meet them.

When my brother-in-law was like the new director and opened the door, there, sitting at the table, was my brother-in-law's ex-supervisor who made fun of him because he was a Christian, there was the ex-colleague who cursed in front of him to see how he could make him fall. There was another ex-colleague who also caused him harm at work and the boss told him: these are the men that you will supervise, they all looked at my brother-in-law and when they looked at him their eyes widened and my brother-in-law in his seriousness as a man of God who is said to them: God bless you everybody.

And the Lord asked the people: "Who are you comparing me to?" Am I like men? Is there something impossible for me? Those who hope in me will have new strength and they will receive what they need if they are faithful to me, if they are waiting for me, if they keep their faith in me they will see wonderful things that eyes have not seen, ears they have not heard the things that I have prepared for those who love me and those who are called with My purpose, because God is faithful.

My brothers: God is faithful. No matter how much time passes, God is faithful, and what you are waiting for, what you are praying for, the day the Lord says: It comes because it comes, it comes because it comes, your family comes because it comes, the children come because they come , your healing comes because it comes, finances come because they come and you will see the powerful Hand of the Lord because the Lord is good, and His mercy forever.

And brothers, this is by faith, we hope by faith, this is not because of what is seen, this is because we know who God is. Faith is what? Faith is the certainty of what is expected and the conviction of what is not seen. Knows? is the certainty In the Greek that word certainty is a mental persuasion. In other words, faith is not based on emotion, it is not based on what I am feeling because if I let myself be carried away by emotions, faith goes away all the time, but faith is a decision that I made that I know that God is capable and faithful to do and undo.

And the word conviction that is used there in Hebrews, that word was used in court, was a legal term that meant: proof, legal support that what is said is true. So my faith is a decision that I made that I still have that what God has said is true, and that is why by faith I am going to snatch the blessings that He has for me and I am going to go ahead, I am going to soar like the wings of the eagle and I am not going to leave this road until I reach my destination, and when I feel discouraged I take out the feathers and I start to praise God because when the people praise God wonderful things happen; there is blessing, there is salvation, there is healing, the Presence of the Lord is felt. When the people praise and worship God, God presents himself as the mighty giant that he is.

God is looking for an army. He said: I am looking for an army, I am counting the men and women who have their boots on, their girdle tight, I am speaking spiritually. We have to hold on tight because the world is hard and it's going to get worse, I don't want to prophesy negative things but this is going from bad to worse; but God is going to present himself from powerful to more powerful, amen? Because where sin abounds, grace abounds, and God lets it get that way so you can see who's really in control. We know that the Lord is the one in control, amen? He is the one who is running the business of this world; It is not the government nor the terrorists, nor ISIS, ETA, whatever you want to call it, the one who is running this is called Jesus Christ.

I want to be a member of the army because the captain's name is Christ Jesus, his name is Christ Jesus, and He said to them: I am counting the number of members of the army, if you are with Me, you are with Me, if you are against Me , get back. Eat, come to the army of the Lord Jesus Christ because those who hope in Him will have new strength.

Who is a member of the Lord's army today? who knows that God is powerful? stand with me, I don't know if I'm taking a long time or not but stop for a moment, as I told you: I don't know what you have been waiting for but on this day I tell you: keep waiting, keep praising, keep believing by faith because God is moving and as it is moving in Africa, in India, in South America, I want and I know that it is moving in Boston, in the Bronx and we have to keep waiting until we see the manifest promises.

Paul said: All the promises are yes and amen, they are yes because they are positive but they are amen because amen means: so be it. If God has said so be it, if God has said so be it. Let it be said, let it be done. What God says God fulfills because God is not man or son of man, God is the Almighty God.

Raise your hand right where you are, look. Lord: here I am, You know what I have been waiting for, You know what I need, You know where I am, where I have come from, where I am going, You know my past, present and future. And Lord, on this day I want to make a vow, an agreement with you that I am going to continue waiting because I know that you are going to give me new strength, Lord, and I am going to soar, I am not going to hit, I am going to soar like the eagle, I am going to follow this path until the day you call me and I know that sooner or later I will see the blessings.

David said: I would have fainted if I did not believe that I am going to see the goodness of God here in the land of the living, not only in glory but here in the land of the living I know that I am going to see His Will, I am going to see the blessings, not because I deserve it but because God is faithful, God is faithful. Brother God is faithful, keep hoping that God is moving.

You who are looking for those jobs, keep going because God is going to open those doors for you, keep praying, keep sending the resumes, keep doing everything necessary that has to be done and then see the hand of God move because God is faithful, amen?

Reach up. Jesus said: Take away the blessings, take them away. When the days are bad or violent snatch the blessings. This is the day to snatch, take it by force in the Name of Jesus Christ because the Lord is good, the Lord is good. Brother, the Lord is good, don't lose the key, use your authority in Christ, the Lord is good, amen? I love you and I wish you that between now and the next time you move forward, don't take off your boots, sleep with the key in your pajamas pocket, look: don't let go for a second that we are in a war but we are in an army that will have victory because the captain is called Christ Jesus.
