WEBVTT 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:25.800 And sent His servant at suppertime to say to 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:27.940 those who were invited, come for all things are 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:33.960 now ready. But they all with one accord began 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.399 to make excuses. The first said to him, I have 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:48.200 bought a piece of ground. And I must go and see 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:59.039 it and I ask that you have me excused. and another 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.100 said i have bought five yoke of oxen and i'm 00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.679 going to test them i asked that you have me excuse 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:13.340 the banquet was prepared for them still another 00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:15.319 said i have married a wife and therefore i cannot 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:28.219 come so that servant came and reported to his 00:01:28.250 --> 00:01:31.150 these things to his master than the master of 00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:46.129 the house he says go out quickly into the streets 00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:47.810 and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor 00:01:47.810 --> 00:01:49.609 and the maimed and the lame and the blind if 00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:53.930 this first group is not interested I'm going 00:01:53.930 --> 00:01:55.489 to give you another group so that you can go 00:01:55.489 --> 00:02:01.430 see, look for. Because the table is ready. And 00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:06.090 I want my house to be filled. I'm speaking in 00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:10.770 the field of the Lord. Jesus reveals the condition 00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:23.150 of his own people. This isn't for those that 00:02:23.150 --> 00:02:25.110 are not only for the person that is lost, but 00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:27.069 also those that are in home at the house. Please 00:02:27.069 --> 00:02:32.729 see my heart. I'm not targeting anyone. I'm not 00:02:32.729 --> 00:02:37.069 attacking anyone. I'm exposing the Word of God, 00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:40.770 the Scripture. So that the fear of the Lord may 00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:45.629 come upon us. Because many presented excuses. 00:02:47.550 --> 00:02:49.909 But there's one reality that the Scripture speaks 00:02:49.909 --> 00:02:59.460 about. He begins speaking of the wedding. And 00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:04.340 then he speaks about what this banquet is. Let 00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:08.719 me show you two realities. Maybe three. I'm going 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.699 to show you two. The reality of what's going 00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:16.840 to happen before the bridegroom comes to seek 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.699 his wife, his bride. Matthew 22, Matthew 24, 00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:26.719 verse 12. Quickly, let's go there. What does 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:35.000 the scripture say? Matthew 24, 12 says, and this 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:41.180 is Jesus speaking of the end times. Jesus speaking 00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:51.909 of the signs before the end. says and because 00:03:51.909 --> 00:03:53.810 lawlessness will bound the love of many will 00:03:53.810 --> 00:03:59.090 grow cold we're gonna be wrong okay we're gonna 00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:06.650 be real the love of who the world doesn't know 00:04:06.650 --> 00:04:14.009 love because it isn't until you know Jesus Christ 00:04:14.009 --> 00:04:20.170 is when you know real love true love is found 00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:23.250 in a person that's named Jesus Christ and when 00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:27.110 you know Jesus And that's when you really know 00:04:27.110 --> 00:04:32.870 love. And Jesus says, because lawlessness has 00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:39.589 multiplied. The love of many will grow cold. 00:04:40.649 --> 00:04:44.709 What love is he talking about? He's talking about 00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:56.300 that first love. That is a sign. of something 00:04:56.300 --> 00:04:58.660 that's coming or already happening in the body 00:04:58.660 --> 00:05:09.860 for which you and I have to be aware. If we know 00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:15.379 that scripture and we know that it's for the 00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:17.680 end times, or the final, yeah, the end times. 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.240 with a greater reason you should keep your first 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:32.100 love you should cultivate that first love you 00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:34.040 should walk making sure that that first love 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.980 doesn't it doesn't quench because that word was 00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:45.120 not for the world the love of many will grow 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.680 cold was not for the world because the world 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:55.779 doesn't know love the love of many will grow 00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:59.339 cold is for the children of the house for those 00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:03.970 that know Jesus for those that know God That's 00:06:03.970 --> 00:06:13.470 one sign. Let's go to 2 Thessalonians. Chapter 00:06:13.470 --> 00:06:25.170 2. I'm going to show you another sign. We're 00:06:25.170 --> 00:06:34.000 going to read verse 1. Os rogamos hermanos, versículo 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.920 2, que no os dejéis mover fácilmente de vuestro 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:45.779 modo de pensar. Ni os contrabeis, ni por espíritu, 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.439 ni por palabra, ni por carta, como si fuera nuestra, 00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:53.220 en el sentido de que el día del Señor se acerca. 00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:57.339 Versículo 3, nadie nos engañe en ninguna manera. 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:03.139 Porque no vendrá sin que antes venga la apostasia 00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:08.759 Y se manifiesta el hombre de pecado el hijo de 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.009 perdición Now brethren concerning the coming 00:07:12.009 --> 00:07:14.509 of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together 00:07:14.509 --> 00:07:18.149 for him We ask you not to be soon shaken in mind 00:07:18.149 --> 00:07:21.610 or troubled Neither by spirit or by word or by 00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:24.470 letter as it from us as though the day of Christ 00:07:24.470 --> 00:07:27.350 had come Let no one deceive you by any means 00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:30.509 for that day will not come Unless the falling 00:07:30.509 --> 00:07:33.430 away comes first and the man of sin is revealed 00:07:33.430 --> 00:07:36.829 and the son of perdition can not in or singanya 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.980 Let no one deceive you. But before Christ comes, 00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:47.980 apostasy will come. Do you know what apostasy 00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:57.000 means? The traditional translation is the falling 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:07.410 away. but the root of the word apostasy the fear 00:08:07.410 --> 00:08:12.050 of the lord came to me when i said it the root 00:08:12.050 --> 00:08:14.930 the root word of that the root word of that word 00:08:14.930 --> 00:08:29.370 means of apostasy it means divorce it means repugnant 00:08:30.350 --> 00:08:39.289 the word repugnant means to reuse and fulfill 00:08:39.289 --> 00:08:42.929 an agreement to not want to fulfill an agreement 00:08:42.929 --> 00:08:53.990 or an obligation or a debt apostasy when it hits 00:08:53.990 --> 00:09:03.110 it makes you divorce God renunciar. You renounce. 00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:07.629 Tu union con el. Your union with him. Tu compromiso 00:09:07.629 --> 00:09:11.309 con el. Your covenant with him. Your commitment 00:09:11.309 --> 00:09:13.389 with him. Your commitment with him. Tu pacto 00:09:13.389 --> 00:09:15.570 con el. Your covenant with him. Dejeme darle 00:09:15.570 --> 00:09:17.950 sabiduria. Let me give you wisdom. La iglesia 00:09:17.950 --> 00:09:21.809 ya está desposada. The church has already been 00:09:21.809 --> 00:09:32.360 betrothed. When you are betrothed, it means that 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.779 you already belong to someone. You've already 00:09:35.779 --> 00:09:40.200 gotten married because of the covenant of a word. 00:09:44.139 --> 00:09:48.460 The church is already married. He already has 00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:54.399 his bride. Whether you understand it or not, 00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:59.480 he says, you are mine. You are mine. You belong 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:06.320 to me. I chose you out of many. I chose you. 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:12.299 And in Matthew 24 it says, the love of many. 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:19.899 of the bride will grow cold. And in Thessalonians 00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:24.659 it says, do not be deceived, because before he 00:10:24.659 --> 00:10:32.179 comes, apostasy will enter. And people will live 00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:34.220 as if they were divorced from God. That's why 00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:48.570 it's called the great falling away. But the spirit 00:10:48.570 --> 00:10:57.250 of the Lord, he is calling the bride. He wants 00:10:57.250 --> 00:11:03.500 to show you to walk with him. He wants to show 00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:07.620 you to abide in first love. To remain in first 00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:12.159 love and he's the spirit of truth. He will take 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:18.779 you to all righteousness and all truth. The committed 00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:21.019 bride will not be deceived. Let me say that again. 00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:29.600 The committed bride will not be deceived. It 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:35.409 will burn for Christ. She will prepare for Christ. 00:11:37.509 --> 00:11:43.450 The book of Revelation says, rejoice. Because 00:11:43.450 --> 00:11:47.929 the bride has prepared herself for the bridegroom. 00:11:49.389 --> 00:11:55.610 The church. The body of Christ. I'm not speaking 00:11:55.610 --> 00:11:57.809 of burning life, of burning lamp. I'm speaking 00:11:57.809 --> 00:12:07.860 of the body of Christ. has straight away has 00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:19.940 departed for some the following of the holy spirit 00:12:19.940 --> 00:12:31.980 has become an inconvenience for others The following 00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:36.659 of the Holy Spirit has become their source of 00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:45.620 life. There's a grace in that so that the following 00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:49.960 of the Holy Spirit can become our source. The 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:53.960 mature children of the Lord are guided by the 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:59.080 Spirit. Another translation says the mature children 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:04.779 of God are moved by the impulses of the Spirit. 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.519 And the spirit of the Lord is jealous for us. 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:17.419 And our responsibility is to tell him, yes. So 00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:24.639 the first group, there was three excuses. I have 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:32.379 to take care of the ground. I have to take care 00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:34.600 of my business because I've bought oxen have 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:43.360 to test them and then the third person gives 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.320 an excuse that they just got married so this 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.879 is the person that doesn't know how to balance 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.639 church and family but i'm not going to go there 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.899 because i want to involve myself in the second 00:13:54.899 --> 00:13:59.639 group this is where i see the lord taking us 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:22.649 Versículo 21 verse 21 So that servant came and 00:14:22.649 --> 00:14:24.309 reported these things to this master. Then the 00:14:24.309 --> 00:14:25.970 master of the house, being angry, said to his 00:14:25.970 --> 00:14:28.029 servant, go out quickly into the streets and 00:14:28.029 --> 00:14:29.850 lanes of the city and bring in here the poor 00:14:29.850 --> 00:14:32.149 and the maimed and the lame and the blind. Say 00:14:32.149 --> 00:14:36.870 with me the second group. Say with me the second 00:14:36.870 --> 00:14:46.110 group. 15 years ago, I gathered with this group. 00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:51.620 The ones that were in debt. The ones that were 00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:54.220 fearful. The ones that didn't have anything. 00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:59.259 Fifteen years ago, in a small house of peace, 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.519 I gathered with the valiant ones of David. Those 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.600 that were in debt. Those that didn't have anything. 00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:12.039 Those that were fearful. The blind. The lame. 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.769 The ones that no one wants. The ones that the 00:15:16.769 --> 00:15:23.269 others don't care about, I am part of that second 00:15:23.269 --> 00:15:28.090 group. I belong to that second group. The one 00:15:28.090 --> 00:15:32.470 that no one cares about. The one that no one 00:15:32.470 --> 00:15:36.710 gets a penny for. The ones where... would just 00:15:36.710 --> 00:15:41.889 go above them, but the Lord, because of his instructions, 00:15:41.909 --> 00:15:47.690 he went and seeked that second group. I don't 00:15:47.690 --> 00:15:51.309 know what group you're in, but from that first 00:15:51.309 --> 00:15:55.789 group, they didn't appreciate what the Lord had 00:15:55.789 --> 00:15:59.830 given them. They left their commitment. They 00:15:59.830 --> 00:16:05.049 didn't seek anymore. They had excuses, but there's 00:16:05.049 --> 00:16:09.379 always a second group that loves the Lord, that 00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:14.159 seeks the Lord, that desires the Lord, that has 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:18.179 been unappreciated, that no one gave them a penny. 00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:26.019 That's who I was. I was the smallest in my brothers. 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.019 And the Lord always lifts up a second group. 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.100 And the scripture speaks about a Third group. 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:39.899 Because that second group still didn't fill the 00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:48.340 house. Verse 22. And the servant said, Master, 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.220 it is done as you commanded, and still there 00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:59.840 is room. Then the master said to the servant, 00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:02.000 go out to the highways and the hedges and compel 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.799 them to come in, that my house may be filled. 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.720 For I say to you that none of those men who were 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.500 invited shall taste my supper. If you see the 00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:19.720 scriptures, the Lord always has a second group. 00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:25.099 When he went to go look for David, the first 00:17:25.099 --> 00:17:28.980 group was Saul. And when he came to the house 00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:34.299 of Jesse, the first group, his father thought 00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:37.890 it was his other children. There was a third. 00:17:40.269 --> 00:17:42.369 There was a second group that was hidden past 00:17:42.369 --> 00:17:46.369 the shepherding the lambs. The woman at the well. 00:17:47.769 --> 00:17:52.329 That's part of the second group. She was unappreciated. 00:17:53.309 --> 00:17:55.690 The one that the people said she was an adulterer. 00:17:57.230 --> 00:17:58.970 That the religious would point their fingers 00:17:58.970 --> 00:18:16.319 and judge her. But Jesus. And they came to the 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:22.519 feet of Christ. And then Solomon was a child 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.359 of adultery, a second group. David could have 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:32.559 chosen any of his children, but he chose Solomon 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.839 from the second group. I don't know who I'm talking 00:18:35.839 --> 00:19:10.559 to today. that are part of that second group. 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:20.920 Because in your heart, it hasn't grown. It hasn't 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:22.619 hearted towards him because the spirit of the 00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:28.599 Lord keeps giving you invitations. The invitations 00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:33.769 to the wedding are being given out. Come to the 00:19:33.769 --> 00:19:37.170 wedding. Come to the table. Come to the banquet. 00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:39.210 Come to the banquet. Come to prepare yourself. 00:19:39.869 --> 00:19:43.630 It has your name. It has the date. And he says, 00:19:43.789 --> 00:19:47.349 come in. You have access. Come and prepare yourself. 00:19:48.349 --> 00:19:56.400 You are the bride. You are choice. I come to 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:01.259 speak to you to those that were probably not 00:20:01.259 --> 00:20:06.839 on that first list 15 years ago I told the pastors 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:12.599 I know that I'm not the first person that got 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:25.079 called to this city I know that God called But 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.099 there were some crazy people in Miami that fell 00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:32.259 in love with this city. And they said, yes, Lord. 00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:38.819 I know that they weren't the first group. They 00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:42.819 were those that were in debt. They were from 00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:49.319 those that were in dread. They were the ones 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.059 that were there with fear. But then at the end, 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:59.000 they were the ones that are from the brain. They're 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.220 the ones that are before the giants. Not because 00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:09.619 of me, but because of God. Tell me who you join 00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:11.759 yourself with and I'll tell you. And I can tell 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:19.460 you that I'm with a giant killer. I'm with one 00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:24.940 that conquers Nations and I walk with one that 00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:28.440 nothing's impossible for him. I walk with one 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:34.440 that has all the power, all authority. You don't 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:49.960 just come to church. There's a banquet. Because 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.519 what I've noticed is that those of you that are 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.799 from the second group, they yell differently 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:01.099 from the first group. Those that are from that 00:22:01.099 --> 00:22:05.880 second group serve differently from that first 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:07.539 group. Those that are from that second group 00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:11.940 give differently from the first group. Those 00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:15.319 that are from the second group dance differently 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.460 from the first group. Those of the second group... 00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:23.299 Love differently from the first group because 00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:27.660 they understand that they have been forgiven 00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:31.900 so much. The person that has been forgiven so 00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:41.819 much loves a lot. That's why I don't love halfway. 00:22:49.979 --> 00:22:52.799 You don't see me loving one person another way 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:54.859 and unappreciating the other one. I know where 00:22:54.859 --> 00:22:56.839 God took me out. I know where he kept me out 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:10.400 from. I know of those nights that I would go 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:14.049 and I was afflicted. when I was abused when I 00:23:14.049 --> 00:23:18.170 was young. And from where he took me out of. 00:23:18.410 --> 00:23:21.269 How am I not going to love him? How am I not 00:23:21.269 --> 00:23:25.589 gonna love him halfway? How am I going to love 00:23:25.589 --> 00:23:31.650 him halfway? How will I love him halfway? I can't. 00:23:34.430 --> 00:23:40.170 And I speak to those that are here. How do I 00:23:40.170 --> 00:23:43.529 know that you're of the second group? How many 00:23:43.529 --> 00:23:51.829 of you are gentle? If you are gentle, you're 00:23:51.829 --> 00:23:54.250 a gentile, you're not Jewish. How many of you 00:23:54.250 --> 00:23:59.509 are not Jewish? Then you are from that second 00:23:59.509 --> 00:24:08.900 group. Because he came to his own. And his own 00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:15.140 didn't even recognize him. But he had a greater 00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:25.500 heart to seek those that were not Jewish. The 00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:27.460 Father is completely determined to bring you 00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:32.920 to Him. The bridegroom is completely in love 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.480 with you. And he tells you, get married with 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:45.119 me again. Have commitment with me again. I wanna 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:50.480 pass eternity with you. Nothing that we have. 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.380 Sorry, let's go back to the first group. Why 00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:58.720 couldn't they come? Because now they acquired 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:02.559 things. They have land. They have businesses. 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.740 They got married. And they have a bigger family. 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:16.599 Everything's a blessing of the Lord. But everything's 00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:22.359 from His grace. The Lord is inviting us. Come 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:42.319 to the banquet. Is those that change the world? 00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:52.680 Lift up your hands. Say Lord Jesus. Thank you 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:57.529 for coming. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank 00:25:57.529 --> 00:26:01.049 you for loving me. Thank you for taking me out 00:26:01.049 --> 00:26:04.890 of where you took me out of. Thank you for blessing 00:26:04.890 --> 00:26:07.750 me the way that you've blessed me. Tell him Lord, 00:26:11.349 --> 00:26:14.109 let the love that you have for me never grow 00:26:14.109 --> 00:26:21.480 cold. Lord, free me from being deceived. Deliver 00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.200 me, Lord, from entering into apostasy. Lord, 00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:30.539 awaken me. Awaken my heart. Awaken my spirit. 00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:36.960 Towards you. That I may seek you. That I may 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.920 run towards you. That I may come close to your 00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:52.140 table. With an unveiled face. Can this word offend? 00:26:54.740 --> 00:27:00.259 Yes, of course. But if the heart is right, it 00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:04.720 will not offend you. It will provoke you to seek 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:09.380 of the Lord, to run towards the Lord. It's a 00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:14.339 word of warning. Every eye closed, I'm gonna 00:27:14.339 --> 00:27:19.420 make a call. At the count of three, if you can 00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:24.220 tell me, I identify myself. I am part of that 00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:28.059 second group. It was very hard, but I am part 00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:31.440 of that second group. And I understand that the 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:35.660 Lord has called me. Or maybe you say, I'm part 00:27:35.660 --> 00:27:42.349 of that third group. at the count of three. There's 00:27:42.349 --> 00:27:45.450 a grace that's gonna come upon you. If this is 00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:49.930 you, stand to your feet. One, two, three. Lift 00:27:49.930 --> 00:27:50.470 up your hands.
