They speak more about their children than of
the Lord. I don't have time to seek the Lord
because I'm busy with my children. And their
life of prayer Sick is dry. And you see these
mothers. I've seen them. That when the children
grow up and leave, they're dry. And Jesus is
not in them. And they don't have life. Because
they made of their children an idol. And others
is their spouse, and others is their worker.
And others is the clothes that they wear. They
live to buy because they want to cover up with
their clothes the insecurity they carry inside
when the only thing they have to do. His goal
before they're created, who has the capacity
to remind them all the time who they are in Him.
Esther, being a young woman, being a young girl,
she was that type of young lady. It's about the
Lord. It's about loving Him without reservations.
And this young girl, so tremendous, speak to
us about the kind of woman we have to be in this
season. This book of Esther. Reveal so much of
the Lord. Three things that it reveals of him.
And I love this church. And I believe we can
all identify with it. They know how to deal with
the government of the nations. They put them
on and they take them off. You didn't see last
year when they entered into a place and they
said, Jesus Christ is the Lord. You have to go
to that small place next to here. Because the
God places and removes kings. He who exalts himself
will be humbled. He is God. He is God. Above
all government. Wait. Why do you fight? Why do
you put horrible comments on social media? Why
do you frustrate yourself? Because you're fighting
the flesh. We don't fight in flesh. We fight
in the spirit. Esther. Esther. Esther. didn't
begin to fight with Amon. Amen. This was in fasting
and in prayer to the one who had power to deal
with the governments of this earth. You, woman,
young or old, have a power of the spirit of God
within you. That made you to be born again. By
the finished work on the cross. Which opened
up the way. So you can go before him. Instead
of fighting through social media. Pray. So that
you can see how the Lord is going to hear. I'm
gonna give you a tip. Do you know why many sisters
don't pray? For two reasons. Because they don't
believe that the Lord is listening. Listen to
what I'm saying, they don't feel like they deserve
for the Lord to hear them. The Lord eventually
involves the emotions, but the majority of the
things in Christianity, in the beginning emotions
are not involved. That's why he left faith as
a lifestyle. The righteous by faith will live.
And the measure we begin to give ourselves without
reservation to the Lord, by the power of the
Spirit of God within us, what at the beginning
we didn't like, eventually, Eventually it defeats
by obedience to Him. So there are many things
that many of you haven't done. Because you're
waiting to feel. I'm gonna wait to feel until
I want to forgive. I want to wait until I feel
like. That feeling like, feeling like. The Christian
life at the beginning is the majority of faith.
Ask a man or a woman of God that walked with
the Lord for a good time. And you'll be surprised
to know they did many things without feeling
it in the Lord. The Lord Jesus himself gave us
an example. Luke chapter 22. When he went to
the mount... of the olives before he went to
the cross. And he said, Father, Father, let your
will be done in mine. And his own flesh for a
moment he didn't want to obey. But he overcame
the will of his father within him. And he says,
if this young lady, she lived like this, the
second thing that you see in this book, the love
of her people and the full capacity to preserve
her people, because as much as Amen tried to
destroy the people of God, he couldn't. He had
power, he had influence, he had money, he had
laws, but he couldn't. Because what the Lord
loves, God preserves it. And this life and in
the next, what is not in the will of God for
that beloved is his church. When you understand
that the Lord loves you, And that He keeps you
and preserves you. Even sadness tastes good.
Because you know that the Lord is in the middle.
Where is that in the Bible? Romans chapter 8.
Those that love the Lord, all things are for
good. Even though that makes us cry. Even though
that will hurt us. Even though what gives us
suffering. The Lord will always turn it to good.
There's no thing that you go through. Nothing
is eternal in this life. Everything will just
pass. Ecclesiastes chapter three. Time to cry,
time to laugh. Time to work. And time to rest.
Everything has a sign. And what you understand,
that that beloved of the Lord, that everything
that you're going through now will not stray
you away from the Lord. Will not apart you from
his love. First because you're... You're given
up on, but you know that the Lord is working
in that within you. Are you understanding? And
the third, what you see in the book of Esther,
and I like this, her divine grace to choose someone
so fragile like an orphan child, but in the hands
of the Lord, She was a strong tool to bring to
salvation an entire people. What's so fragile
than an orphan child without money? And the Lord
says, her. She is who I'm going to reveal myself
to her life. And the measure of the revelation
of God in her is what gave her the capacity to
be the type of woman she was and be used by the
Lord to save the people of Israel. Be where the
Messiah would come from. Don't despise yourself
Don't despise yourself Don't despise yourself
Don't despise yourself Don't believe in the enemy's
lies that speak to your mind everything that
even today the enemy has spoken to your mind
because he speaks to the mind the carnal mind
not the spiritual mind because the spiritual
mind understands what's true and what's a lie
when you start to believe things that are not
in the Bible You begin to operate in what Paul
said in Romans that it's a fleshy mind. How do
you overcome that? With the help of the Holy
Spirit, with the truth of his word, Paul said
in Philippians 4 -8, everything just, everything
just, all that's pure, all that's good, everything
that's a good name. Si hay virtud, if there's
a virtue, si algo digno de alabanza, something
worthy of praise, en esto. In this, in this,
in this thing. No, I can't do it. Is that in
the Bible? No, Philippians 4 .13 says I can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me.
You don't know how many times I have to speak
to myself. And remind myself of what the Lord
says I am. The good circumstances that I've gone
in my life are so strong. They're so difficult
and made me cry. So much that I have to live.
I have to live my life and remind my life of
what the Lord says about my future. Tonight you
have to let go. El Señor me mando esta noche
que tiene que soltar. The Lord sent me tonight
because you have to let go. The times that we're
living with are so tough. When you read the church
of Acts, it was the primitive church, where the
Lord begins his church. When the church is born,
when the Lord goes to the heavens, And he gives
the command to his disciples. The church grows.
Amidst a political convulsion. in the middle
of a human and satanic persecution. And that
is where the bride rose up with the power of
the spirit with glory. The bride of the Lord
is not only on the cloud and with skirts church.
The wonderful church, that bride, will go through
problems, will go through circumstances. But
to that young child, the circumstances didn't
break. And do you know what impacts me of Esther?
Is that they didn't change her. There are sisters
that have a better job. And now they think they're
the last coke of the desert. There are sisters
that once were single and now they're married.
And before them, they were always with the Lord
and now once a year. The Lord spoke to me, not
here, that there's a lot of false Christs. False
Christs. Where is that in the Bible? In the book
of John, 1 John chapter 4, Paul speaks about
false Christ. Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 speaks
of false Christ. We have to be sure that the
Jesus that we're worshipping is the true Christ.
And the only way to know is through scripture,
by the power of the Spirit of God. So the book
of Esther, you get to know with the Lord how
he uses that young lady. in such a marvelous
way. And he makes us understand that he doesn't
give an exception to people. It doesn't matter
where we're coming from. It doesn't matter what
we have or don't have. He is seeking a bride
that's given up of herself. A bride that is giving
up to herself is obedient. A bride that doesn't
obey is not a bride. Worship without obedience
is not genuine worship. John 4, 4. The Lord seeks
worshippers that worship in spirit and in truth.
We have everything. That's what we have to walk
close to the Spirit of God. King Cercis, whom
the Lord allows this young woman to get married
to. A young lady that was consecrated to the
Lord. because for her to have that character
of God in him and Jesus in her, she had to have
grown in Jesus. Where is that in the Bible? Mordecai
was a man of God. He's who raised her and taught
her the ways of the Lord and to this beautiful
young girl. The Lord in his perfect plans and
eternal plans takes her in a way where she has
to marry a king. That even though he was a king,
the Bible speaks that he was prideful. He was
very powerful. Because he governed an entire
region. He was a man that exceeded. He did of
everything. We saw in the Bible that he was very
wrathful. He would get mad. He was mad. He was
mad all the time. That didn't have value or respect
for anybody else's life. Look at what type of
man he was. When Amon gives the order to annihilate,
he says, okay, sign it, go. He didn't care. He
was a terrible man. And this man. The Lord had
already planned that Esther would marry him.
This man makes a decision with them to throw
a party. And you know how long those feasts lasted?
Five months, 180 days. And in the last days of
the feast, in Esther one from 10 to 12, that
he was happy. The word happy means that he was
drunk. And it occurred to him to call his wife
Basti. to show everybody her beauty because the
Bible says she was very beautiful but for a reason
the Bible doesn't mention she refuses to go before
the king and she disobeys publicly and because
under the counsel of her counsel they dispute
her They remove her as his wife. And that's in
Esther chapter one. The Bible doesn't mention
why she refused to go before the king. But one
definition that the historians give They say
that she refused to be an object. That after
15 years, 15 months, men that were drunk and
lustful saw her as an object. that definition
makes sense because when the king calls her he's
in the middle of the feast and when you read
chapter one you see that there was wine everywhere
for whoever wanted it and this man gets mad and
he removes Vashti and so then the council I don't
have time to go into that. But then the council
brings up a story of Cerces to put a decree out
for women to obey their husbands. And that wasn't
a question of obedience. That was a question
of dignity. Because back then, the women didn't
have any value. But when Christ came, He gave
you and I the value by His blood. That's why
you can't be walking around with rejection. You
have to stand up and begin to walk like what
you are. And this young girl lives in the only
world that she knows, which is the house of her
uncle, her cousin Mordecai. And when they pass
that decree, they take her against her will with
a whole bunch of other young girls to the king's
palace. And this is where she's introduced to
this type of element, to the king. Any of the
single women would like that? She's introduced.
She's deprived of everything. She's removed from
the only family member she had. They take her
to an unfamiliar place to prepare her under an
intense process of beauty. And many of you probably
say, oh, I want to be there. But that was a diet
and restriction. Para después presentarla delante
de un hombre extraño y despota y orgulloso. whom
she had to have sexual relations with, and she
was a virgin, and if the king didn't like her,
she was then taken to a different room where
she'll be there for the rest of her life. Look
what kind of circumstances she's confronted with.
But then here we start to see who Esther was,
who the Lord had formed her within. And this
young girl amidst those circumstances had already
taken the decision since she was little of the
type of life she was going to live. You have
to make a decision. There are some of you that
are found in the valley of decisions. And I stayed
in the middle of the message because I want to
minister. But the times that we are living in...
are very delicate times. There are times of preparation
of the bride. One of the marks of the preparation
of the bride is to be ready for the Lord. Jesus
said without holiness no one would see the Lord.
Not everyone that says Lord, Lord will enter
the kingdom of heaven. It's necessary for the
Lord to work in us. I'll give you a word that
the Lord gave me a few months ago, at the beginning
of the year. For me, he said, we're in a season.
Where he said, Diana, you have to do three things,
you and your family. He says, you have to. The
first thing he said. And now where? You have
to allow me to prepare them for the persecution
that's coming. The persecution is going to come,
church. We're in a season of preparation in the
spiritual and in the natural. But persecution,
we're not going to be able to avoid it. You,
mother, have to prepare your children for the
times that are coming. But you, you're not consecrated.
How are you going to give to your children? Most
of the things that we are now that we're adults,
most of it comes from our fathers. So there are
three things. One, we have to allow him to prepare
us. In the book of Acts, the bride was persecuted.
She was accused. And the Bible says that the
latter glory will be greater than the present.
The glory is not only the glory of His presence.
The glory is what carries the glory. Because
the Lord said if the world didn't love you, he
didn't love me, he won't love you. If the world
doesn't love us, what are we trying to do, trying
to please the world? Oh no, I'm in the world
with you. But I don't walk with the world. I
don't dress like the world. I don't speak like
the world. I don't try to please the world. The
Bible says that the Lord lived among them. And
he was among sinful people, but he never ate
or did anything that they did. So the preparation
of the bride is to prepare for the persecution.
In that time when the persecution comes here,
because in the Middle East and Asia and in Africa,
they're already in that. The only nation that
persecution hasn't come is the U .S. And it's
gonna come, Brian. And we have to be prepared
with a life that's fully given to the Lord and
it's a glory that's gonna be within us now. Number
two, we have to prepare economically. What does
economically mean? To learn to live by faith.
To learn to live by faith. And that requires
of you being administrator of the finances. This
is a time where you should try to get out of
all debt. No, I have to exchange the car all
the time. Who are you showing off your car to?
If that car is going to put you into debt, why
are you getting yourself in a new car? Who's
an example of the church? Jose. Joseph, when
hunger came, Joseph was prepared. He was the
first minister of finances of the Pharaoh in
Egypt. And when the hunger comes, that's tragedy
and ministering through a dream. He kept the
people of Israel again. We have to be prepared
to be able to live by faith. The financial problem
that you may have will not turn you a slave to
your job. You have to be a servant to the Lord.
About three years ago, the Lord said to me three
years ago, and I would do it, but not all the
time. He says, I want you to seek me again with
your forehead on the floor. And on your knees,
everything that you seek will be when you're
on your knees. And you will lack nothing. Church,
the preparation is a preparation of faith. The
problems that you're going through is not for
you to stay in the problem, but to learn to live
by faith. is to learn to live by faith. Because
when those times come, you will be ready. And
what others may take you to make the wrong decisions,
crazy decisions, you're gonna be maintaining
faith with a clear mind, knowing who you believe
in. And the Lord that delivered you today will
deliver you tomorrow and the day after. So the
way to prepare is believing in the Lord and obeying
him. So that when those times come, we will not
drown. With those that didn't learn, so we're
gonna grab them by the hand and tell them, here,
I'm gonna show you who is the fountain of life.
And number three, the Lord spoke to me. And he
said, this is the time. Like never before. We
have to pray so that I can manifest in this nation.
Because if you notice the lack of his presence
is great even in his church. And only the Spirit
of God has the power to penetrate those profound
areas in our heart and change us and transform
us. Why? Because He was the creator of the human
being. This nation needs an awakening. Esther,
when she was shaken for a moment, And Mordecai
tells her, go speak before the king. She said,
there is only one law. He who presents himself
without him calling him. You'll be beheaded.
Do you know what the word Mordecai means? In
the Hebrew, means worshiper of the living God.
Who wants a cousin like Mordecai? And Mordecai
tells us, remember how you grew up. Remember
how you grew up. Some of you have to remember
them. That God of the glory. You need to wake
up and stop. You need to stop dreaming and you
need to wake up with an abundant life of Christ.
Because when he forgave the adulterous woman,
she was lustful, immoral, immoral. But the Lord
says that she went to go seek water and the Lord
spoke, there's a fountain, a living fountain
where you will never have thirst. Why do we have
to be prepared to love Him and walk with Him?
But so that we may also do something. When Mordecai
tells her, and she tells him that there's one
law, she said, don't think that because you live
in the king's house, you're going to be saved.
You and your family shall perish. If breath and
end, and restoration comes from another place,
you will perish. And who knows if this time,
the Lord has lifted you up, church. Woman, the
Lord has called you from the womb of your mother's
womb. could have been dead. Others could have
been in horrible situations. Remember where the
Lord took you out of. Do you remember when you
came to the ways of the Lord? Do you remember
when you were worshiping him in secret? When
you wanted to speak to everybody about this Christ
of glory? Remember wherever you would walk you
would carry the glory of the Lord and you didn't
care if people spoke to you or didn't speak to
you? Do you remember when your problems weren't
as vague as they are today? Do you remember when
you would walk with joy? The Lord said many They
lost my joy. He says when I'm the fountain of
all joy and all laughter. The Bible says in the
psalm we will be like those that dream. And our
mouth will be filled with laughter. And our tongue
of worship. The Lord wants you to remember. And
you know the Bible says that those who grow near,
He will grow near to them. The only thing we
need is one step. Lift up your hands, but for
real. Not with your mind wandering. For real.
It's true. Lord, I am here again. And it's enough
for Him to fill you again. Church. You are a
part of that church. For such a time like this.
So that you may be alone in your home. With your
children. With your family. With your community.
With your job. In your office. In your school.
In your home. Where you live. in your neighborhood
you become that light again and you arise again
with that Christ of glory that you once knew
but for that you have to rededicate your life
and make the decision to leave again that whatever
it is that In some of you, maybe it's a hurt.
In others, maybe it's an offense. In others,
maybe it's a problem. Or maybe a need. Or maybe
a member of your family that you've been praying
for for 20 years. Whatever it is, church, you
have to give it to the Lord. Because the bride
that he's coming for is a bride that's filled
with him. says that the abundance of the heart
speaks the mouth. That bride, that like us, sir,
the problems don't overcome her, church. And
that young lady in which she is, she came back.
When she realized that she could die, she said,
Mordecai and him. But when Mordecai reminded
her who she is, in her God, and who was the God
that she asked, and what God was there, she came
to. And look what the words say. She said, tell
the people to pray and fast with you. And I will
go with my servants to pray and fast. And I will
present myself before the King. And if I die,
then I come. That's how Pastor Carolina lived.
That's why nothing could defeat her. Not even
death. Not to her or anyone else. A generation
of witnesses that You decide what you're going
to do with your life. You decide what you're
going to do with the invitation of Jesus. To
be the bride. For him to be the bridegroom. The
bridegroom is jealous. He doesn't share his glory
with anyone. The altar only has room for one
person. In the people of Israel, the altar only
one person. Oh Israel, your God only one. The
commandment is the same for the church. Mark
12 .30 says you will love the Lord with all your
heart, with all your mind, with all your strength.
Today is the day that you have to make a decision.
And if you take it, to rededicate your life,
then everything that has separated you in the
heart, the Lord will cleanse you and he will
remove you from your life. from this day. And
each day that you seek him, the Lord will be
working more and more and more until you see
yourself and you won't be able to recognize yourself.
And the only thing that you and the people will
see is that Christ of glory that has loved you
till death. Close your eyes. I want to make a
calling. It's a night of rededication. Tomorrow
all day there will be a conference. Close your
eyes. But some of you have to rededicate your
life again. I rededicate my life every day to
the Lord. Every day I rededicate it. Every day
I wake up. And I rededicate it to the Lord. Yesterday
is gone. Tomorrow is not. It's not sure. We only
have today. What is the calling? If you tell
me Diana. There are areas in my life that I've
restrained from the Lord. There's areas in my
heart that are dry and need to be brought back
to life by my Lord. There are areas in my heart
that are not fully given to the Lord. I love
him, but I don't feel it. I'm not given to surrender.
I'm not surrendered. And I want to come back
to my original calling, which is to love the
Lord, to live for Him, so that then in a time
for such as this, He will do everything that
He does.
