I want to affirm the declarations that we have made in prayer and that appeal that we have made to the Lord here on this desperate and daring afternoon, I can say it like this. At some point in my prayer the Cyrophoenician woman came out to me and I felt the spirit of that woman affirm, and remember what is behind that text of Scripture found in Mark chapter 7 in verse 24, and encourage all of us to be bold before God.

The Lord says to come boldly before the Throne of grace; sometimes you have to come to the Lord desperately, you have to come to the Lord as a last and first resort, you have to come to God like those beings that we see in Scripture recorded as: “Lord, son of David, have mercy on me! ” and the people told him: shut up, the Lord does not have that on the agenda, but Bartimaeus shouted even harder until the Lord stopped, brought him into His Presence and healed him, and he left carrying his sheet that he used as a safety net. Sometimes the homeless have their bundles and their things there, the sheet that a blind man or a beggar used to sit on is like the house, and that sheet that had supported him now he takes it with him as a declaration of the God who He has released so that he can see, he left his cloak of security, he left it to come before the Lord and receive healing from God, and sometimes we have to be like that.

We have to get out of our comfort zone and that is what we have done this afternoon. One can pray in many ways, we have prayed for Ana in different ways, but when a Congregation says: you know what? We are going to compromise our image and we are going to risk everything, and then the coot duck will come out, as Mark chapter 6 verse 24 says and then let the Lord do the rest. I believe that sometimes it is the only way in which God, those desperate beings that we see in Scripture who approached the Lord out of time, it was not their right to be there, it was not even on the Lord's agenda, God did not even give them He sometimes gives a Word of affirmation or healing but they take it away from God because they are desperate beings.

The woman with the issue of blood approaches Jesus Christ, gets into the crowd, violates Jewish law because a woman in that state of continuous menstruation was not supposed to make people unclean when she touched her but she got into the crowd , touched the hem of His cloak and left there with his healing, and with a Word of affirmation and blessing from the Lord, and God has not changed His heart, He always acts in the same way, and He honors and responds to the same type of behavior.

When the children of God come and say: you know what? I have nothing to lose, so I am going to throw myself at the feet of the Lord, and we argue with God out of love and respect, not out of disrespect, but sometimes I believe that we even force the Hand of God and God likes it, what father You don't like it when your one-year-old daughter comes and steals a piece of meat from your mouth? He likes it because he says: wow, my daughter has strength, she's getting tough, she loves me, she trusts me, I think that sometimes God likes that we squeeze him a little, bother him a little.

The Lord said that the woman who came before the unjust judge cried out and knocked on his door until he said: I'm sick of this woman, I'm going to bless her so that she leaves me alone, and he was doing it as an illustration of God who wants us to continually knock on His door and be insistent, that we dare to come before Him, that we pray says at the right time and at the wrong time, that we cry out and preach, that we do things not as they are on the agenda, that we get out of the common, of the predictable, of the formal and sometimes even of the decent, and that we believe God by a miracle, you know?

That is why you have to be careful sometimes when there is a lot of order, I am a person of order, I like order but sometimes you have to make disorder, you have to rebel against order and formalism and to remember that God is a God that His Spirit is like a wind, it moves where it wants, it is unpredictable and we have to practice that to keep our faith active. I thank God for you crazy Pentecostals that sometimes, the truth is that sometimes bother me but I say: Lord, I have to take that pill and they keep me accountable before God, don't stop bothering you, you know ? I need you, the Church needs you, sometime we will pull our bows but in that process we will find God's precise balance, we need strong people, aggressive people, if we lose that fire we are going to lose something very special so we need, this Church needs that fire continuously.

And this woman who was portrayed here in the Scripture came from the area of Syria, Phoenicia was a region that is why they call her Cyrophoenician, she came from the area of Syria and from Phoenicia, she was not a Jew, she was not an evangelical, she was not even a Catholic, she was a pagan, she came from a region where the Gospel had not reached, she was not a member of the family of God so to speak but she had heard of Jesus Christ, and she had heard that He was compassionate and merciful, and that there was power, that the Power of God was in Him; her theology may have been a little imperfect and crazy there but the essentials she knew, that Jesus was the Son of God, that Jesus had power, that Jesus was merciful and that He listened to those who cried to Him, and that she could allow yourself the luxury of arguing with Him a little and arguing with Him so that He would answer your need.

And we know that this same Jesus is listening to our prayers and that we cannot stop praying at the first silence, and the first day that passes without us receiving what we are asking of the Lord, we have to insist, we have to persist, we have to cry out, we have to pray day and night until the Lord answers our requests. Over and over again we see that truth unfolded across the pages of Scripture: God honors the desperate person, God honors the person who dares, God honors the person who wades through the crowd and goes the extra mile. God is not pleased with people who let themselves be defeated too quickly, God is not pleased with comfortable people, God is not pleased with people who are not willing to raise their hand, get up from a chair at a given moment, put on ridicule or walk that second mile to receive something from the Lord.

God likes it when we believe enough to risk our public image, risk our privacy, risk what people think of us and just go in trust before our heavenly Father and be obedient and do what He tells us to. to do, and this woman is this type of individual and that is why Scripture honors her with the portrait that is made of her.

It says in verse 24 of Mark 7 that Jesus got up from the place where he was and went to the region of Tire and Sidon where this woman was from in those general areas, "and entering a house he did not want anyone to know but couldn't hide." You see here, this is interesting, it makes us think a little about the complexity of the mystery of God's absolute Will and how human beings can even apparently change God's plans, how we can affect God's plans, this is a mystery. , but apparently the brave and daring, insistent, desperate people can change the agenda of heaven.

The Lord wanted to go unnoticed, perhaps he was tired, who knows, perhaps it was not the time for that region to receive the Gospel, perhaps they were not on His agenda at that moment, He wanted a time of discretion, many times He wanted to hide and he wanted people not to know yet that He was the Son of God, it's a mystery too, God had His agenda with that man God and a moment had to come for there to be a public declaration that He is and was the Son of God and the messiah that was to come, and sometimes He hid and sometimes He told people: don't tell them about this miracle that I did because He didn't want people to put it in and advance the agenda because God has an agenda, even though God has a plan with a man, a woman, historically He also has to do other things on the external plane so that all things coincide and the Lord had a personal agenda about the revelation of His Glory and His messiahship, and I think that for that reason they are some of His mysteries.

And I believe that for that reason, some of His mysteries He went to this place, it was a pagan area and He didn't want it to be known that he was there but he says he couldn't hide because His reputation preceded him; There were people who understood that He was merciful and was not like the other Pharisees and other religious people of his time who believed that they were more than what they were and did not admit contact with humble and simple people, they did not get out of their agenda, and people came and flocked to where he was, so he could not hide because there were the eyes of a desperate mother, a mother who loved and who was desperate for her daughter's condition.

So he says: “He couldn't hide because a woman” he couldn't hide because a woman. Glory to God for women, glory to God for women of faith, glory to God for anointed women, glory to God because there was still a time in history when women did not count for anything and were not supposed to intervene in the dialogue between man and God, desperate women changed the culture, changed the agenda, "because a woman".

Brother, the only thing that distinguishes before the heart and the Presence of God is faith, the heart, not gender, not if you are a man or a woman, if you are rich or poor, if you are religious or not, it is the sincerity of your heart It is your faith in God, it is your humility to come before Him. God says that he is no respecter of persons.

Many women, many humble people, many people who were not on the agenda were present and God attends to them and listens to them. It doesn't matter how old you are in the Gospel, it doesn't matter if you are a person of authority or not who knows the Bible or not, the only thing God wants to know is how strong is your faith in Him and how big is your heart for Him? Him, how much you love him and how much you believe His Word.

There we remember the woman with the issue of blood again who looks a lot like this Cyrophoenician woman, the woman with the issue of blood was not on Jesus' agenda either. At that moment, the Lord was walking towards Jairus's house. You will remember, Jairus was a leading man in his community and had asked the Lord to bless his daughter, and the Lord was on his way to Jairus's house, in his mind he did not there was a woman with an issue of blood, that was not on His agenda. And the Bible says that while the Lord was going in the direction of Jairus's house to heal Jairus's daughter, which is what would be expected, important people always have the ears of important people and it would be expected that the Lord would kind of go to the house of a leading, important, pious man, known in his community, and he says that the Lord went to Jairus's house "but a woman" that's how he says, "but a woman who had suffered from an issue of blood for twelve years” and that he had spent all his money on doctors, and that instead of doing better he was doing worse, “he came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak”.

This woman changed the agenda, she got involved, she was not in the program, in a sense she did not deserve, she had not done anything to deserve the miraculous touch of the Lord but her heart got in the way of the agenda and she injected herself in a place where she should not be , "because a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit" her daughter was possessed by a demon and there was no power on Earth where she lived that could heal her daughter.

The Bible tells us that the Lord is Lord over all dimensions of reality, Lord over storms and natural manifestations, Lord over disease, Lord over death, Lord over any physical limitation, Lord of heaven and earth. , the demons tremble before the Presence of God. Don't be afraid of demons, you know? do not fear demons because the Lord is more powerful than any demon, cry out to the Lord, make sure that your life is right with God and then rebuke in the Name of Jesus with all authority, your daughter had an unclean spirit.

“After she heard about Him” that is so revealing, because this woman who knows where she was, she was not a member of the tribe of Israel, she did not know about Jesus but she heard about Him, how did she hear about Him? Did any neighbor who said: look there is a man out there who has a power of God that has never been seen before and who heals the sick, and who is believed to be the Son of God, the savior of Israel, heard it in a well while collecting water, two or three women commenting on it? But the fact is that this woman heard about Jesus and that made all the difference, that enabled her to go in search of the answer and the solution that she needed.

How important it is that people hear about Jesus from us! Sow the Word, sow the Gospel message, don't rush what happens immediately, your part, our part is to preach the Word and let people know that Christ has a solution, that Christ has power, that Christ is the Son of God , that we need Him for the solution to our problems and for our eternal destiny.

This woman heard, one does not know when a person at a moment will make use of having heard of Jesus in a generic and general way. Sometimes we have talked to people and apparently there was no reaction or any result but you know what? Sometimes, at some given moment in his life, God activates that Word and that person then goes in search of the Lord. That Word that you gave in a general way, another person comes and adds to it, and the cup is spilled and that person comes to Christ, decides to come to Church on a Sunday, decides to give his life to the Lord because he heard about Him and for that is that we simply have to sow the seed and leave the result to the Lord as that wonderful hymn says.

She had heard of Jesus Christ and I am sure that, again, her faith was a very imperfect faith. She was not one hundred percent clear on who Jesus was; I do not believe that if they had asked her who Jesus Christ was, she would have said: good is the Son of God, God man, perfect God, God man stripped of His glory, come into the world, taking the form of a baby, born of Mary and Joseph or of Mary and the Holy Spirit, and full of power and grace to redeem humanity from their sins and He is going to be crucified and He is going to give justice to humanity by His death, and He will rise again on the third day, she could not recite that an apostolic creed, she did not have, the only thing she had was a crude faith that was like a sharp stone, it was a knot that she had in her heart of faith and despair, of need.

It is what I say that many times it is what God needs and we have to ask the Lord to help us, to arm us with that level of energy, and that is why he says that: "he came and fell at his feet", every answer a prayer has to be preceded by a surrender, it has to be preceded I want to affirm the declarations that we have made in prayer and that appeal that we have made to the Lord here on this desperate and daring afternoon, I can say it like this, it reminded me of the behavior of the Cyrophoenician woman, at some point in my prayer the Cyrophoenician woman came to me and I felt the spirit of that woman affirm, and remember what is behind that text of Scripture found in Mark chapter 7 in verse 24, and encourage us to all of us to be daring before God, daring, what the Word calls boldness, the Lord says that we come confidently before the Throne of grace; sometimes you have to come to the Lord desperately, you have to come to the Lord as a last and first resort, you have to come to God like those beings that we see in Scripture recorded as: “Lord, son of David, have mercy on me! ” and the people told him: shut up, the Lord does not have that on the agenda, but Bartimaeus shouted even harder until the Lord stopped, brought him into His Presence and healed him, and he left carrying his sheet that he used as a safety net. Sometimes the homeless have their bundles and their things there, the sheet that a blind man or a beggar used to sit on is like the house, and that sheet that had supported him now he takes it with him as a declaration of the God who He has released so that he can see, he left his cloak of security, he left it to come before the Lord and receive healing from God, and sometimes we have to be like that.

We have to ask the Lord: help me bring my prayer to the point of red hot because I believe that generic prayers to the Lord leave him cold, the prayers that God honors are prayers to live fire, prayers to the target of being so hot . When we were here before this time of prayer, I had told the brothers a week and a half ago, more or less, the Lord put it in my heart that we are going to make a cry in favor of Ana Andújar and we are going to put everything on the table. , and we spread the word among the people who know her, they are people of prayer, and we are going to fast and pray for her one day, two days, a week, whatever, but let's take a time of prayer, let's accumulate.

My wish was that during that time we can accumulate energy. Do you know that that kind of imagery and reasoning is biblical? There are times when one has to, like a slingshot thrower, I imagine that when David was going to throw that stone at Goliath he made sure to give the slingshot fifty turns and he gained momentum, right? like one of those throwers, and when he threw the stone he threw it hard at the giant's forehead, and that's how I think our prayers should be.

Many times we have to, the first prayers are simply rehearsals, we are going to ask the Lord for something great, it will be better that we prepare ourselves and insist, because there is an almost physical part in the processes of miracles: repetition, intensity, faith, physical verbal expression, body posture, these are elements that are part of the prayer that God answers, and this woman prostrated herself, threw herself before the Lord.

The Lord likes to hear screams, the Lord likes to see tears, the Lord likes to smell bad odors of sweat because people are working, the Lord likes when people stick to him and touch him like the woman with the issue of blood, the Lord likes when we use the body and cry out to Him, and this woman jumped. Let us never abandon that dimension of Pentecostal life, let us be a people of raising our hands, kneeling, throwing ourselves to our feet, jumping, dancing, saying: amen, glory to God, get out of our seats, God honors that, brothers and sisters, and we must practice these things, again, in a proper way but it does have to be done, and he says he fell down, fell at his feet, his need had reached that point, his haste, his urgency, his sense of desperation.

Everything had failed her and she threw herself before that being that she didn't quite understand but that she knew had power. It says that the woman was Greek and Cyrophoenician by nation, Marcos puts that there because it was important for it to be known that she had no right because of citizenship, because of culture, because of religion, it was not part of the agenda in a sense, she was an aberration, something inopportune, but inside her she carried the visa and the passport that gave her the right, and there the one who has ears to hear hear.

God is very strange in the way, men have their agendas and their things but sometimes God says: You know what? now there is a total pardon and I am going to respond to the haste and urgency of this human being. "And she was Greek and Cyrophoenician by nation" and it says: "and she begged him to cast the devil out of her daughter" why do you use that expression? because he wants to emphasize the right that he was repeating, he does not say: "he begged" because if he had said "he begged" it means that he did it once and then he was silent, no, I think this was a dialogue that took time .

There what they do is that they summarize what happened but I think she argued with the Lord for a while, she begged him over and over again, this was a dialogue that she argued and said: no, I'm not leaving here until you bless me Do you know that story of Elisha and Elijah that God had told Elisha? God already had Elisha chosen to be the heir of the anointing and ministry of Elijah, and God was going to take Elijah with Him to heaven, and Elisha stuck to Elijah because He wanted the blessing and Elijah told him two or three times: look, leave me alone, I have to go now, this is over here, because sometimes God acts lazy, as the Mexicans say, to test us and to provoke in us a reaction of faith.

God sometimes uses many ways to incite in us a strong posture. God likes that, don't ask me why, but He likes to play around with us and make us wait because He wants our cry to reach that boiling point, and I also believe that because His blessings are worth so much that He does not like to give them too cheap, the person who gives up too quickly does not deserve the blessings of the Lord, and God sometimes sells himself dear because sometimes he says: look, I have to do it because if they don't give me the courage I have to give it to myself.

God likes it when we recognize that what we want is important enough to bother us and to insist. And she begged and insisted, brothers, the insistence on prayer is so important. I tell them that there are prayers in my life that I have been reciting since I was 10 or 11 years old and I still bring them to the Lord, you know? and I will die praying the same things because until I see them answered I do not have permission to stop praying in that way, we have to cry out to the Lord until we see the answer and if He does not want that it is His problem, my part is pray and cry out, and do what He tells me to do, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you says the Word of the Lord, we have to cry out before God, we have to be a brave and insistent people so as to sometimes border on Being disrespectful before the Lord, God likes that, brothers.

"She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter, but Jesus told her: Let the children be satisfied first because it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs" wow. Brothers, I would have gone home immediately, he would have said two or three ugly things to me and forget that this man is a scoundrel and I don't want to know about him, look how he insults me, but do you know? again what Jesus was doing was testing her faith, and God knew that this event was going to be recorded and that in the 21st century, in the year 2016 on a day in August a Congregation of crazy Latinos was going to be preaching about of that woman and that she was going to be receiving inspiration from that moment, and I believe that the Lord was like preparing a drama that He knew would go far beyond this woman, and that it would transcend history, and that countless Generations were to draw inspiration and blessing from that encounter between this woman and Jesus.

Because many times these dramas that took place between a man and a woman, between Jesus, or that are recorded in the pages of Scripture were not there only for the benefit of those who would immediately listen or read those narratives, they were for generations. after them, they were dramas, narratives, living parables that were going to be recorded for the people of God to feed on through the centuries until Christ came, that they would find nourishment for the arduous path that they were going to have to follow for centuries. until God's plan was fully fulfilled in history.

In other words, I believe that the Lord, directed by the Holy Spirit, was there establishing a series of spiritual paradigms, of spiritual prototypes so that the people of God would understand them and be spiritually enlightened and instructed in their walk. So when He gives this insulting refusal to this woman, He is doing it for the benefit of all who are going to read, and it is that even though it seems that a person is despicably far from the Will of the Lord and from the ways of the Lord, the love of God it is so great that it can surpass these things, and bless, and heal, and minister, and answer your cry.

And certainly this woman came from a pagan woman, certainly this woman was impure in the eyes of God because the only thing that makes us pure and acceptable is the blood of Jesus and the Word of His Spirit, in a sense yes, as it is every human being, no matter how honest and honorable, and hardworking, if he does not have Christ in his heart, he is a little dog, worse than a little dog, he is a dog, because without Christ we are unclean before the perfect holiness of God, the only thing What makes us accepted before God and access His Presence is the blood and sacrifice of Christ on the cross of Calvary, that is what passes us from the condition of little dogs to the condition of children, that is what changes our state interior, our interior nature, that is what makes us accept the powerful and healing Grace of God through Christ Jesus.

So He was saying: look, what are the children? supposedly they are the ones who know the Scripture, they are the ones who belong to the lineage of Abraham, and He tells him: it is not right to take the bread that belongs to the children and throw it to those who do not deserve it, and in that sense He was there doing collection of a number of truths from Scripture, the people of Israel had been chosen by God but you know what? the Lord, it is clear that He wants more than what He is saying here because He Himself had said that He had come to bless all humanity regardless of whether they were Jews or non-Jews, He knew that His Gospel, His Word, His work was going to reach all the nations so He was teasing her, he was toying with her, he wanted to see what she was going to do with that curve that He was throwing her there, and He wanted to test her faith and he wanted to know if she was truly deserving of that blessing she was asking for, and if she had enough spiritual charge in her to go beyond the conventional and formal about religion.

Thank God this woman says: "And she answered him and said:" and I believe that this response was illuminated by the Holy Spirit, this was such a great response and such an unusual response, and so like a a lawyer trained in the laws of argumentation that had to come from God, a humble illiterate woman like her, I think she could not come up with an answer as extraordinary as the one she gave to the Lord, "she answered and said: yes Lord, but even the little dogs that are under the table eat the crumbs of the children" glory to the Lord.

She took the same argument that the Lord was throwing at her and turned it around, and said: here you go, take that one while the other one comes. He said: well, Lord, you are saying that we are dogs, okay, I accept it, but you know what? that in the world even the puppies that are under the table go under the table and when something is thrown at them or something falls over they eat that, that is what I want. Do not give me chicken cordon bleu or filet mignon, give me a little piece of bread even if it is because a crumb from Your Hand is worth everything I need, a minimum word from the Lord is enough to fill all needs.

No big declarations from God are needed, a minimal movement from the Lord in our direction is enough to change the course of the universe, brothers. That chorus that we sing says: a look of faith is what can save the sinner, many times what is needed is a tiny movement of the heart and the power of God is enough. The woman with the issue of blood only touched the edge of the cloak, one of the fringes that came out of Jesus' Jewish cloak, she touched the extreme thread of one of the ends, of the ends of Jesus' cloak and that healed her completely. what the doctors had not been able to do, stopped and froze the flow of her blood, and she says to him: Lord, the little dogs still eat under the table.

We are going to ask the Lord to always give us the right words to pray because even to come before the Presence of God we have to come as lawyers, we have to find the precise and correct argument. There are times when God puts a word in us and one says: but where did that come from? and that expression was given to you by the Holy Spirit because that is the key that will open the heart of God and that will bring the blessing that you need.

There are times when God is so generous with us that he gives us the argument that He wants to hear so that His Power is unleashed in our favor, so great are the mysteries of the Lord. When God sometimes puts an expression in your heart, use it, because that expression can be the conduit that will open the heart of the Lord and will do what your life needs to be done. I believe a lot in those arguments and that is why I have to ask you: Lord, prepare my prayer.

And that's why this afternoon I started to say something to him and the thread got lost, but while we were there during the time of praise, my heart was focused on only one thing: Lord, prepare my heart for the time of prayer that we are going to do, prepare my heart, prepare the strategy, help us configure the logistics, the way in which You want us to cry out to You and the manner, and the sequence, and the language, and the spiritual ease because I believe that it is so, God is a being strategic and He thinks that way, and prayer is more complex than one thinks, the language, the logistics of prayer, the mysteries of God's science are so deep, and we have to ask the Lord: Lord, give us wisdom to be able to understand all the cubicles and enclosures, and the different levels of Your mystery and Your science.

She used the argument, she used the very word of the Lord to put him against a rock and a hard place. The movements of the Spirit are judicial, the devil knows and God certainly knows, the world of the Spirit moves according to judicial principles, and man has justice and law because the world of the Spirit has justice and law, and we simply imitate what It has been revealed to us in our spirit, in our genetics, that is why there are laws, there are governments and there are judicial systems, because the world of the Spirit is legal and judicial in its own way, and that is why we have to understand when we pray, we also have to ask the Lord: Lord give us understanding of how the mysteries of prayer.

And this woman tripped over one of them, and it is that we have to use the Word of God to bind God and I say that with all due respect, I am not saying that we turn the saint upside down, but I am saying that there is no better way to Pray that in the Word of the Lord. When you say: Lord, Your Word says that, Lord, You have declared in Your Word that, Lord, You have promised that these legal arguments have power before the heart of God, that is why we have to know the Word, we have to study the word.

A young man asked me at the end of the service this morning: Pastor, I want wisdom, he was talking about the sermon that was preached this morning, I want wisdom from God and I told him: look, the best way I know of to have wisdom is permeating yourself with the Word of God, study it, honor it, dedicate yourself to it, look for it as gold and silver are looked for, visualize it as something alive and real, as an entity that embodies the Power and life of God, eat it every day, put it inside of you and that Word will give you wisdom, and then God will give you eyes to see, and everything that you live then you will be able to take advantage of, interpret, and that will then create an energy in you of wisdom and truth. One of the ways appreciating and valuing the Word of God like gold and silver, and that Word then allows us to come before the Throne of God, allows us to use the appropriate language, the Word itself springs from our lips and when we pray, when we preach, when we reason the Word of God is reasoning through us, and then we are not surprised that miracles and wonderful works come into our lives because it is the Word of God honoring itself through us.

Then this woman said: Lord, I am going to take Your word, if I am a little dog, amen, but You know very well that little dogs have the right to eat the crumbs, and then the Lord said to her, I am almost sure that the Lord laughed when she told him that, the Lord said, you got me, you got me, you got away with it, what can I say to that? He was amused, he was delighted, He liked that daring response of this woman, and the Lord told him: "For this word" hallelujah, "for this word" is the word, it is the argument, it is that precise expression that the Spirit has put in you, it is the moment, that is what unleashes the power and the glory, and the affection of God in our lives, it is the humble and simple prayer propitiated by the Holy Spirit, He said to him: by this word that you just gave me the devil has left, has left.

How interesting, He says: because of this word that you have just given me, the devil has come out of your daughter, that is a mystery, it was a pregnant word, it was a word full of the power and grace of God. In us is the power of God to do incredible things, to separate the waters of the sea, to make it rain where there is no rain, to make the rain stop where there is rain, to open doors that no one can open and close doors that no one can. to close, to tear down walls, to solve problems, to bring advice to our life, to bring solutions that do not seem humanly possible, to give us grace before authorities, to do works greater than those that Jesus himself did because He has promised it that way and He He has given permission for it to be so, you will do greater works because He is duplicating the power that I had here on Earth before, now it is Me and God in your favor, and you too praying.

The word of this woman, her word of faith freed her daughter in reaction and in action with Jesus Christ, for this word go away, the devil has already left. God knows how many miles away that girl, when this woman gave that word, experienced a change, her mind became clear, her physical movements returned under her control, her will regained the ability to move, and her daughter was completely healed, and here we have the confirmation says that when she returned home she found exactly as the Lord had told her, the devil had left and found her daughter lying resting on her bed, glory to the Lord, amen, amen.

I imagine for the first time in maybe many months this little girl, this young lady was able to sleep peacefully and she was so exhausted from her crisis and from the time that she had been through so hard that she just fell asleep and slept, and when she woke up she was rested, healed, free, and things were never the same in that home.

Brothers, we are going to believe God, we are going to cry out before the Lord, we are going to live daring and brave lives before the Lord because we have a God who is the same yesterday, today and forever. That Christ who is portrayed there in that narration is the same Jesus whom you serve today, you know? it is the same Jesus who wants to see that same type of faith and who also honors that type of faith in our lives as well, we are going to serve like this.

Let's lower our heads for a moment and don't move from your seat if you can, and let that Word sink into your heart, we're going to be quiet for a moment in this place, and we're going to look at that Jesus who is here in this place. Also and that He is inviting us to make a pact with Him, the Lord does not honor the prayer of anyone who is not willing to prostrate himself before Him, who is not willing to make himself uncomfortable, who is not willing to make a physical and visible expression. of their respect and reverence, and their surrender to the Will of the Lord.

You can be like that Cyrophoenician woman, perhaps you came here to Church but you don't know Jesus, you are a Cyrophoenician, you are not part of Jesus' family, but a gesture of approach, a gesture of dedication to Jesus, a public gesture, a visible gesture, and if you have not made that gesture of surrender to the Lord, I want to invite you this afternoon to give your life to Jesus Christ and not leave here being a Cyrophoenician, that you leave here being a member of the family of Christ Jesus having invited the Lord to enter your heart and to be a central part of your life.
