WEBVTT 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.080 They speak more about their children than of 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:19.820 the Lord. I don't have time to seek the Lord 00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:28.039 because I'm busy with my children. And their 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:35.179 life of prayer Sick is dry. And you see these 00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:40.560 mothers. I've seen them. That when the children 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:46.579 grow up and leave, they're dry. And Jesus is 00:00:46.579 --> 00:00:52.719 not in them. And they don't have life. Because 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:59.320 they made of their children an idol. And others 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.079 is their spouse, and others is their worker. 00:01:03.579 --> 00:01:07.900 And others is the clothes that they wear. They 00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:12.799 live to buy because they want to cover up with 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.019 their clothes the insecurity they carry inside 00:01:17.019 --> 00:01:22.400 when the only thing they have to do. His goal 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.079 before they're created, who has the capacity 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:33.599 to remind them all the time who they are in Him. 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:39.439 Esther, being a young woman, being a young girl, 00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:47.109 she was that type of young lady. It's about the 00:01:47.109 --> 00:01:51.870 Lord. It's about loving Him without reservations. 00:01:53.069 --> 00:02:05.890 And this young girl, so tremendous, speak to 00:02:05.890 --> 00:02:07.530 us about the kind of woman we have to be in this 00:02:07.530 --> 00:02:13.330 season. This book of Esther. Reveal so much of 00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:16.090 the Lord. Three things that it reveals of him. 00:02:18.349 --> 00:02:22.710 And I love this church. And I believe we can 00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:28.909 all identify with it. They know how to deal with 00:02:28.909 --> 00:02:33.770 the government of the nations. They put them 00:02:33.770 --> 00:02:40.439 on and they take them off. You didn't see last 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.060 year when they entered into a place and they 00:02:43.060 --> 00:02:47.960 said, Jesus Christ is the Lord. You have to go 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:56.379 to that small place next to here. Because the 00:02:56.379 --> 00:03:02.240 God places and removes kings. He who exalts himself 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:09.860 will be humbled. He is God. He is God. Above 00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:19.259 all government. Wait. Why do you fight? Why do 00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:21.379 you put horrible comments on social media? Why 00:03:21.379 --> 00:03:24.759 do you frustrate yourself? Because you're fighting 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.539 the flesh. We don't fight in flesh. We fight 00:03:29.539 --> 00:03:36.569 in the spirit. Esther. Esther. Esther. didn't 00:03:36.569 --> 00:03:41.909 begin to fight with Amon. Amen. This was in fasting 00:03:41.909 --> 00:03:48.789 and in prayer to the one who had power to deal 00:03:48.789 --> 00:03:52.689 with the governments of this earth. You, woman, 00:03:53.789 --> 00:04:02.449 young or old, have a power of the spirit of God 00:04:02.449 --> 00:04:10.159 within you. That made you to be born again. By 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.020 the finished work on the cross. Which opened 00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:21.139 up the way. So you can go before him. Instead 00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:27.980 of fighting through social media. Pray. So that 00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:32.350 you can see how the Lord is going to hear. I'm 00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:37.810 gonna give you a tip. Do you know why many sisters 00:04:37.810 --> 00:04:44.709 don't pray? For two reasons. Because they don't 00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:50.529 believe that the Lord is listening. Listen to 00:04:50.529 --> 00:04:55.709 what I'm saying, they don't feel like they deserve 00:04:55.709 --> 00:05:01.550 for the Lord to hear them. The Lord eventually 00:05:01.550 --> 00:05:07.589 involves the emotions, but the majority of the 00:05:07.589 --> 00:05:12.529 things in Christianity, in the beginning emotions 00:05:12.529 --> 00:05:17.750 are not involved. That's why he left faith as 00:05:17.750 --> 00:05:21.550 a lifestyle. The righteous by faith will live. 00:05:26.569 --> 00:05:28.870 And the measure we begin to give ourselves without 00:05:28.870 --> 00:05:33.129 reservation to the Lord, by the power of the 00:05:33.129 --> 00:05:35.389 Spirit of God within us, what at the beginning 00:05:35.389 --> 00:05:50.420 we didn't like, eventually, Eventually it defeats 00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:55.500 by obedience to Him. So there are many things 00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:57.959 that many of you haven't done. Because you're 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.759 waiting to feel. I'm gonna wait to feel until 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:09.939 I want to forgive. I want to wait until I feel 00:06:09.939 --> 00:06:23.459 like. That feeling like, feeling like. The Christian 00:06:23.459 --> 00:06:28.699 life at the beginning is the majority of faith. 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.579 Ask a man or a woman of God that walked with 00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:36.019 the Lord for a good time. And you'll be surprised 00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:37.660 to know they did many things without feeling 00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:42.040 it in the Lord. The Lord Jesus himself gave us 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:48.759 an example. Luke chapter 22. When he went to 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.879 the mount... of the olives before he went to 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.079 the cross. And he said, Father, Father, let your 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.660 will be done in mine. And his own flesh for a 00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:05.860 moment he didn't want to obey. But he overcame 00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:08.579 the will of his father within him. And he says, 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:15.800 if this young lady, she lived like this, the 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:23.819 second thing that you see in this book, the love 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:26.660 of her people and the full capacity to preserve 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:34.079 her people, because as much as Amen tried to 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.310 destroy the people of God, he couldn't. He had 00:07:38.310 --> 00:07:42.209 power, he had influence, he had money, he had 00:07:42.209 --> 00:07:46.610 laws, but he couldn't. Because what the Lord 00:07:46.610 --> 00:07:53.149 loves, God preserves it. And this life and in 00:07:53.149 --> 00:07:59.769 the next, what is not in the will of God for 00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:04.649 that beloved is his church. When you understand 00:08:04.649 --> 00:08:09.540 that the Lord loves you, And that He keeps you 00:08:09.540 --> 00:08:14.540 and preserves you. Even sadness tastes good. 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:21.500 Because you know that the Lord is in the middle. 00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:25.560 Where is that in the Bible? Romans chapter 8. 00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:30.779 Those that love the Lord, all things are for 00:08:30.779 --> 00:08:36.919 good. Even though that makes us cry. Even though 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.639 that will hurt us. Even though what gives us 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.000 suffering. The Lord will always turn it to good. 00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:47.159 There's no thing that you go through. Nothing 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:52.820 is eternal in this life. Everything will just 00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:57.960 pass. Ecclesiastes chapter three. Time to cry, 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.360 time to laugh. Time to work. And time to rest. 00:09:04.940 --> 00:09:08.120 Everything has a sign. And what you understand, 00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:12.879 that that beloved of the Lord, that everything 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.519 that you're going through now will not stray 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.919 you away from the Lord. Will not apart you from 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:25.980 his love. First because you're... You're given 00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.100 up on, but you know that the Lord is working 00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:34.139 in that within you. Are you understanding? And 00:09:34.139 --> 00:09:37.679 the third, what you see in the book of Esther, 00:09:41.899 --> 00:09:48.440 and I like this, her divine grace to choose someone 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.500 so fragile like an orphan child, but in the hands 00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:59.820 of the Lord, She was a strong tool to bring to 00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:07.539 salvation an entire people. What's so fragile 00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:13.139 than an orphan child without money? And the Lord 00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:17.929 says, her. She is who I'm going to reveal myself 00:10:17.929 --> 00:10:24.110 to her life. And the measure of the revelation 00:10:24.110 --> 00:10:31.629 of God in her is what gave her the capacity to 00:10:31.629 --> 00:10:39.289 be the type of woman she was and be used by the 00:10:39.289 --> 00:10:43.110 Lord to save the people of Israel. Be where the 00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:53.610 Messiah would come from. Don't despise yourself 00:10:53.610 --> 00:10:59.190 Don't despise yourself Don't despise yourself 00:10:59.190 --> 00:11:03.309 Don't despise yourself Don't despise yourself 00:11:03.309 --> 00:11:08.809 Don't despise yourself Don't believe in the enemy's 00:11:08.809 --> 00:11:13.929 lies that speak to your mind everything that 00:11:13.929 --> 00:11:18.269 even today the enemy has spoken to your mind 00:11:18.269 --> 00:11:23.470 because he speaks to the mind the carnal mind 00:11:23.470 --> 00:11:29.309 not the spiritual mind because the spiritual 00:11:29.309 --> 00:11:36.389 mind understands what's true and what's a lie 00:11:36.389 --> 00:11:38.289 when you start to believe things that are not 00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:43.940 in the Bible You begin to operate in what Paul 00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:47.679 said in Romans that it's a fleshy mind. How do 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.879 you overcome that? With the help of the Holy 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:55.639 Spirit, with the truth of his word, Paul said 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:59.159 in Philippians 4 -8, everything just, everything 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:03.600 just, all that's pure, all that's good, everything 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.029 that's a good name. Si hay virtud, if there's 00:12:07.029 --> 00:12:09.629 a virtue, si algo digno de alabanza, something 00:12:09.629 --> 00:12:14.460 worthy of praise, en esto. In this, in this, 00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:20.279 in this thing. No, I can't do it. Is that in 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.960 the Bible? No, Philippians 4 .13 says I can do 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.759 all things through Christ who strengthens me. 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.320 You don't know how many times I have to speak 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:37.679 to myself. And remind myself of what the Lord 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:44.059 says I am. The good circumstances that I've gone 00:12:44.059 --> 00:12:49.039 in my life are so strong. They're so difficult 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.899 and made me cry. So much that I have to live. 00:12:59.340 --> 00:13:01.879 I have to live my life and remind my life of 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:09.639 what the Lord says about my future. Tonight you 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.330 have to let go. El Señor me mando esta noche 00:13:12.330 --> 00:13:14.779 que tiene que soltar. The Lord sent me tonight 00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:18.360 because you have to let go. The times that we're 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:27.700 living with are so tough. When you read the church 00:13:27.700 --> 00:13:36.100 of Acts, it was the primitive church, where the 00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:40.519 Lord begins his church. When the church is born, 00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:44.370 when the Lord goes to the heavens, And he gives 00:13:44.370 --> 00:13:48.710 the command to his disciples. The church grows. 00:13:51.490 --> 00:13:56.980 Amidst a political convulsion. in the middle 00:13:56.980 --> 00:14:02.259 of a human and satanic persecution. And that 00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:09.620 is where the bride rose up with the power of 00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:15.960 the spirit with glory. The bride of the Lord 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.169 is not only on the cloud and with skirts church. 00:14:21.529 --> 00:14:26.649 The wonderful church, that bride, will go through 00:14:26.649 --> 00:14:35.009 problems, will go through circumstances. But 00:14:35.009 --> 00:14:37.309 to that young child, the circumstances didn't 00:14:37.309 --> 00:14:39.610 break. And do you know what impacts me of Esther? 00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:47.450 Is that they didn't change her. There are sisters 00:14:47.450 --> 00:14:54.970 that have a better job. And now they think they're 00:14:54.970 --> 00:15:03.429 the last coke of the desert. There are sisters 00:15:03.429 --> 00:15:06.169 that once were single and now they're married. 00:15:08.110 --> 00:15:11.690 And before them, they were always with the Lord 00:15:11.690 --> 00:15:25.769 and now once a year. The Lord spoke to me, not 00:15:25.769 --> 00:15:29.289 here, that there's a lot of false Christs. False 00:15:29.289 --> 00:15:34.240 Christs. Where is that in the Bible? In the book 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:43.379 of John, 1 John chapter 4, Paul speaks about 00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:48.600 false Christ. Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 speaks 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.759 of false Christ. We have to be sure that the 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:55.879 Jesus that we're worshipping is the true Christ. 00:15:58.019 --> 00:16:00.039 And the only way to know is through scripture, 00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:06.139 by the power of the Spirit of God. So the book 00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:12.500 of Esther, you get to know with the Lord how 00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:18.240 he uses that young lady. in such a marvelous 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:24.700 way. And he makes us understand that he doesn't 00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:27.539 give an exception to people. It doesn't matter 00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:31.019 where we're coming from. It doesn't matter what 00:16:31.019 --> 00:16:35.220 we have or don't have. He is seeking a bride 00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:39.059 that's given up of herself. A bride that is giving 00:16:39.059 --> 00:16:44.860 up to herself is obedient. A bride that doesn't 00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:50.100 obey is not a bride. Worship without obedience 00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:55.720 is not genuine worship. John 4, 4. The Lord seeks 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.539 worshippers that worship in spirit and in truth. 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.869 We have everything. That's what we have to walk 00:17:07.869 --> 00:17:22.069 close to the Spirit of God. King Cercis, whom 00:17:22.069 --> 00:17:27.910 the Lord allows this young woman to get married 00:17:27.910 --> 00:17:32.490 to. A young lady that was consecrated to the 00:17:32.490 --> 00:17:37.940 Lord. because for her to have that character 00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:42.259 of God in him and Jesus in her, she had to have 00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:45.440 grown in Jesus. Where is that in the Bible? Mordecai 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:52.619 was a man of God. He's who raised her and taught 00:17:52.619 --> 00:17:55.920 her the ways of the Lord and to this beautiful 00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:01.420 young girl. The Lord in his perfect plans and 00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:07.559 eternal plans takes her in a way where she has 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.839 to marry a king. That even though he was a king, 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.180 the Bible speaks that he was prideful. He was 00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:21.680 very powerful. Because he governed an entire 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:33.049 region. He was a man that exceeded. He did of 00:18:33.049 --> 00:18:39.130 everything. We saw in the Bible that he was very 00:18:39.130 --> 00:18:47.210 wrathful. He would get mad. He was mad. He was 00:18:47.210 --> 00:18:57.039 mad all the time. That didn't have value or respect 00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.099 for anybody else's life. Look at what type of 00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:08.579 man he was. When Amon gives the order to annihilate, 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:16.039 he says, okay, sign it, go. He didn't care. He 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:21.430 was a terrible man. And this man. The Lord had 00:19:21.430 --> 00:19:26.009 already planned that Esther would marry him. 00:19:28.710 --> 00:19:31.930 This man makes a decision with them to throw 00:19:31.930 --> 00:19:36.109 a party. And you know how long those feasts lasted? 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:45.700 Five months, 180 days. And in the last days of 00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:49.799 the feast, in Esther one from 10 to 12, that 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:55.039 he was happy. The word happy means that he was 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:59.759 drunk. And it occurred to him to call his wife 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:07.730 Basti. to show everybody her beauty because the 00:20:07.730 --> 00:20:12.130 Bible says she was very beautiful but for a reason 00:20:12.130 --> 00:20:19.269 the Bible doesn't mention she refuses to go before 00:20:19.269 --> 00:20:29.029 the king and she disobeys publicly and because 00:20:29.029 --> 00:20:33.250 under the counsel of her counsel they dispute 00:20:33.250 --> 00:20:38.750 her They remove her as his wife. And that's in 00:20:38.750 --> 00:20:46.970 Esther chapter one. The Bible doesn't mention 00:20:46.970 --> 00:20:52.329 why she refused to go before the king. But one 00:20:52.329 --> 00:21:01.859 definition that the historians give They say 00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:07.859 that she refused to be an object. That after 00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:15.480 15 years, 15 months, men that were drunk and 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:20.950 lustful saw her as an object. that definition 00:21:20.950 --> 00:21:26.789 makes sense because when the king calls her he's 00:21:26.789 --> 00:21:34.410 in the middle of the feast and when you read 00:21:34.410 --> 00:21:36.609 chapter one you see that there was wine everywhere 00:21:36.609 --> 00:21:42.650 for whoever wanted it and this man gets mad and 00:21:42.650 --> 00:21:52.000 he removes Vashti and so then the council I don't 00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:01.279 have time to go into that. But then the council 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:07.700 brings up a story of Cerces to put a decree out 00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:11.359 for women to obey their husbands. And that wasn't 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.759 a question of obedience. That was a question 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:20.900 of dignity. Because back then, the women didn't 00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:25.900 have any value. But when Christ came, He gave 00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:33.799 you and I the value by His blood. That's why 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.140 you can't be walking around with rejection. You 00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:42.160 have to stand up and begin to walk like what 00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:52.640 you are. And this young girl lives in the only 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:54.180 world that she knows, which is the house of her 00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:57.160 uncle, her cousin Mordecai. And when they pass 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:02.960 that decree, they take her against her will with 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.900 a whole bunch of other young girls to the king's 00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:12.309 palace. And this is where she's introduced to 00:23:12.309 --> 00:23:17.490 this type of element, to the king. Any of the 00:23:17.490 --> 00:23:22.849 single women would like that? She's introduced. 00:23:25.769 --> 00:23:32.410 She's deprived of everything. She's removed from 00:23:32.410 --> 00:23:36.210 the only family member she had. They take her 00:23:36.210 --> 00:23:41.849 to an unfamiliar place to prepare her under an 00:23:41.849 --> 00:23:50.190 intense process of beauty. And many of you probably 00:23:50.190 --> 00:23:54.309 say, oh, I want to be there. But that was a diet 00:23:54.309 --> 00:24:03.720 and restriction. Para después presentarla delante 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:16.779 de un hombre extraño y despota y orgulloso. whom 00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:23.039 she had to have sexual relations with, and she 00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.099 was a virgin, and if the king didn't like her, 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:31.099 she was then taken to a different room where 00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:37.799 she'll be there for the rest of her life. Look 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:39.799 what kind of circumstances she's confronted with. 00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:45.519 But then here we start to see who Esther was, 00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:51.160 who the Lord had formed her within. And this 00:24:51.160 --> 00:25:00.019 young girl amidst those circumstances had already 00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:05.460 taken the decision since she was little of the 00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:10.519 type of life she was going to live. You have 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:16.140 to make a decision. There are some of you that 00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:21.000 are found in the valley of decisions. And I stayed 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:22.359 in the middle of the message because I want to 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.579 minister. But the times that we are living in... 00:25:27.210 --> 00:25:33.069 are very delicate times. There are times of preparation 00:25:33.069 --> 00:25:38.710 of the bride. One of the marks of the preparation 00:25:38.710 --> 00:25:44.509 of the bride is to be ready for the Lord. Jesus 00:25:44.509 --> 00:25:47.069 said without holiness no one would see the Lord. 00:25:51.910 --> 00:25:54.109 Not everyone that says Lord, Lord will enter 00:25:54.109 --> 00:25:59.960 the kingdom of heaven. It's necessary for the 00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:09.380 Lord to work in us. I'll give you a word that 00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:11.500 the Lord gave me a few months ago, at the beginning 00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:21.119 of the year. For me, he said, we're in a season. 00:26:24.820 --> 00:26:26.799 Where he said, Diana, you have to do three things, 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:31.160 you and your family. He says, you have to. The 00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:40.980 first thing he said. And now where? You have 00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:42.720 to allow me to prepare them for the persecution 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.650 that's coming. The persecution is going to come, 00:26:46.670 --> 00:26:52.289 church. We're in a season of preparation in the 00:26:52.289 --> 00:26:55.690 spiritual and in the natural. But persecution, 00:26:55.730 --> 00:26:58.950 we're not going to be able to avoid it. You, 00:26:59.049 --> 00:27:01.109 mother, have to prepare your children for the 00:27:01.109 --> 00:27:08.650 times that are coming. But you, you're not consecrated. 00:27:08.690 --> 00:27:13.650 How are you going to give to your children? Most 00:27:13.650 --> 00:27:15.990 of the things that we are now that we're adults, 00:27:16.509 --> 00:27:26.329 most of it comes from our fathers. So there are 00:27:26.329 --> 00:27:30.529 three things. One, we have to allow him to prepare 00:27:30.529 --> 00:27:35.250 us. In the book of Acts, the bride was persecuted. 00:27:35.690 --> 00:27:42.829 She was accused. And the Bible says that the 00:27:42.829 --> 00:27:45.910 latter glory will be greater than the present. 00:27:46.529 --> 00:27:48.309 The glory is not only the glory of His presence. 00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:56.920 The glory is what carries the glory. Because 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.099 the Lord said if the world didn't love you, he 00:27:59.099 --> 00:28:05.960 didn't love me, he won't love you. If the world 00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:07.900 doesn't love us, what are we trying to do, trying 00:28:07.900 --> 00:28:12.420 to please the world? Oh no, I'm in the world 00:28:12.420 --> 00:28:20.059 with you. But I don't walk with the world. I 00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:23.599 don't dress like the world. I don't speak like 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:29.079 the world. I don't try to please the world. The 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:34.839 Bible says that the Lord lived among them. And 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:36.579 he was among sinful people, but he never ate 00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:40.759 or did anything that they did. So the preparation 00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:45.400 of the bride is to prepare for the persecution. 00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:51.000 In that time when the persecution comes here, 00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:59.279 because in the Middle East and Asia and in Africa, 00:28:59.380 --> 00:29:05.299 they're already in that. The only nation that 00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:10.099 persecution hasn't come is the U .S. And it's 00:29:10.099 --> 00:29:15.900 gonna come, Brian. And we have to be prepared 00:29:15.900 --> 00:29:21.400 with a life that's fully given to the Lord and 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.779 it's a glory that's gonna be within us now. Number 00:29:25.779 --> 00:29:28.759 two, we have to prepare economically. What does 00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:32.339 economically mean? To learn to live by faith. 00:29:34.579 --> 00:29:42.240 To learn to live by faith. And that requires 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:47.400 of you being administrator of the finances. This 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:48.779 is a time where you should try to get out of 00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:53.180 all debt. No, I have to exchange the car all 00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:56.059 the time. Who are you showing off your car to? 00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:01.779 If that car is going to put you into debt, why 00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:06.940 are you getting yourself in a new car? Who's 00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:11.140 an example of the church? Jose. Joseph, when 00:30:11.140 --> 00:30:20.599 hunger came, Joseph was prepared. He was the 00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:23.000 first minister of finances of the Pharaoh in 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:33.079 Egypt. And when the hunger comes, that's tragedy 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:44.450 and ministering through a dream. He kept the 00:30:44.450 --> 00:30:49.009 people of Israel again. We have to be prepared 00:30:49.009 --> 00:30:55.650 to be able to live by faith. The financial problem 00:30:55.650 --> 00:30:59.069 that you may have will not turn you a slave to 00:30:59.069 --> 00:31:04.049 your job. You have to be a servant to the Lord. 00:31:07.699 --> 00:31:22.519 About three years ago, the Lord said to me three 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.119 years ago, and I would do it, but not all the 00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:29.660 time. He says, I want you to seek me again with 00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:37.240 your forehead on the floor. And on your knees, 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.519 everything that you seek will be when you're 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:43.640 on your knees. And you will lack nothing. Church, 00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:51.480 the preparation is a preparation of faith. The 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:58.200 problems that you're going through is not for 00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:59.819 you to stay in the problem, but to learn to live 00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:06.089 by faith. is to learn to live by faith. Because 00:32:06.089 --> 00:32:15.049 when those times come, you will be ready. And 00:32:15.049 --> 00:32:18.230 what others may take you to make the wrong decisions, 00:32:18.410 --> 00:32:22.609 crazy decisions, you're gonna be maintaining 00:32:22.609 --> 00:32:27.369 faith with a clear mind, knowing who you believe 00:32:27.369 --> 00:32:32.690 in. And the Lord that delivered you today will 00:32:32.690 --> 00:32:36.490 deliver you tomorrow and the day after. So the 00:32:36.490 --> 00:32:41.470 way to prepare is believing in the Lord and obeying 00:32:41.470 --> 00:32:49.000 him. So that when those times come, we will not 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:55.759 drown. With those that didn't learn, so we're 00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:57.259 gonna grab them by the hand and tell them, here, 00:32:57.339 --> 00:32:59.339 I'm gonna show you who is the fountain of life. 00:33:00.859 --> 00:33:05.700 And number three, the Lord spoke to me. And he 00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:14.259 said, this is the time. Like never before. We 00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:16.319 have to pray so that I can manifest in this nation. 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.539 Because if you notice the lack of his presence 00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:32.140 is great even in his church. And only the Spirit 00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:36.900 of God has the power to penetrate those profound 00:33:36.900 --> 00:33:40.839 areas in our heart and change us and transform 00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:47.759 us. Why? Because He was the creator of the human 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:54.859 being. This nation needs an awakening. Esther, 00:33:54.900 --> 00:33:59.980 when she was shaken for a moment, And Mordecai 00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:03.599 tells her, go speak before the king. She said, 00:34:03.660 --> 00:34:09.019 there is only one law. He who presents himself 00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:12.329 without him calling him. You'll be beheaded. 00:34:13.889 --> 00:34:17.250 Do you know what the word Mordecai means? In 00:34:17.250 --> 00:34:22.309 the Hebrew, means worshiper of the living God. 00:34:24.090 --> 00:34:35.579 Who wants a cousin like Mordecai? And Mordecai 00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:40.940 tells us, remember how you grew up. Remember 00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:44.639 how you grew up. Some of you have to remember 00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:54.780 them. That God of the glory. You need to wake 00:34:54.780 --> 00:35:01.909 up and stop. You need to stop dreaming and you 00:35:01.909 --> 00:35:04.590 need to wake up with an abundant life of Christ. 00:35:04.909 --> 00:35:09.570 Because when he forgave the adulterous woman, 00:35:10.449 --> 00:35:18.050 she was lustful, immoral, immoral. But the Lord 00:35:18.050 --> 00:35:22.849 says that she went to go seek water and the Lord 00:35:22.849 --> 00:35:26.369 spoke, there's a fountain, a living fountain 00:35:26.369 --> 00:35:31.429 where you will never have thirst. Why do we have 00:35:31.429 --> 00:35:36.530 to be prepared to love Him and walk with Him? 00:35:36.610 --> 00:35:43.349 But so that we may also do something. When Mordecai 00:35:43.349 --> 00:35:46.130 tells her, and she tells him that there's one 00:35:46.130 --> 00:35:50.929 law, she said, don't think that because you live 00:35:50.929 --> 00:35:51.909 in the king's house, you're going to be saved. 00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:59.780 You and your family shall perish. If breath and 00:35:59.780 --> 00:36:03.559 end, and restoration comes from another place, 00:36:04.099 --> 00:36:09.719 you will perish. And who knows if this time, 00:36:10.260 --> 00:36:17.199 the Lord has lifted you up, church. Woman, the 00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:20.840 Lord has called you from the womb of your mother's 00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:25.949 womb. could have been dead. Others could have 00:36:25.949 --> 00:36:30.130 been in horrible situations. Remember where the 00:36:30.130 --> 00:36:34.869 Lord took you out of. Do you remember when you 00:36:34.869 --> 00:36:41.010 came to the ways of the Lord? Do you remember 00:36:41.010 --> 00:36:47.090 when you were worshiping him in secret? When 00:36:47.090 --> 00:36:48.690 you wanted to speak to everybody about this Christ 00:36:48.690 --> 00:37:02.510 of glory? Remember wherever you would walk you 00:37:02.510 --> 00:37:03.989 would carry the glory of the Lord and you didn't 00:37:03.989 --> 00:37:05.550 care if people spoke to you or didn't speak to 00:37:05.550 --> 00:37:11.349 you? Do you remember when your problems weren't 00:37:11.349 --> 00:37:16.110 as vague as they are today? Do you remember when 00:37:16.110 --> 00:37:21.070 you would walk with joy? The Lord said many They 00:37:21.070 --> 00:37:29.969 lost my joy. He says when I'm the fountain of 00:37:29.969 --> 00:37:32.190 all joy and all laughter. The Bible says in the 00:37:32.190 --> 00:37:38.530 psalm we will be like those that dream. And our 00:37:38.530 --> 00:37:40.610 mouth will be filled with laughter. And our tongue 00:37:40.610 --> 00:37:51.119 of worship. The Lord wants you to remember. And 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:58.000 you know the Bible says that those who grow near, 00:37:58.059 --> 00:38:02.139 He will grow near to them. The only thing we 00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:07.440 need is one step. Lift up your hands, but for 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.579 real. Not with your mind wandering. For real. 00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:17.340 It's true. Lord, I am here again. And it's enough 00:38:17.340 --> 00:38:23.510 for Him to fill you again. Church. You are a 00:38:23.510 --> 00:38:28.750 part of that church. For such a time like this. 00:38:29.849 --> 00:38:32.130 So that you may be alone in your home. With your 00:38:32.130 --> 00:38:35.449 children. With your family. With your community. 00:38:36.530 --> 00:38:40.150 With your job. In your office. In your school. 00:38:40.889 --> 00:38:45.599 In your home. Where you live. in your neighborhood 00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:52.480 you become that light again and you arise again 00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:55.920 with that Christ of glory that you once knew 00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:01.039 but for that you have to rededicate your life 00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:08.039 and make the decision to leave again that whatever 00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:12.780 it is that In some of you, maybe it's a hurt. 00:39:14.699 --> 00:39:17.820 In others, maybe it's an offense. In others, 00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:25.099 maybe it's a problem. Or maybe a need. Or maybe 00:39:25.099 --> 00:39:26.460 a member of your family that you've been praying 00:39:26.460 --> 00:39:30.400 for for 20 years. Whatever it is, church, you 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.780 have to give it to the Lord. Because the bride 00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:36.619 that he's coming for is a bride that's filled 00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:43.260 with him. says that the abundance of the heart 00:39:43.260 --> 00:39:48.159 speaks the mouth. That bride, that like us, sir, 00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:51.920 the problems don't overcome her, church. And 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:55.239 that young lady in which she is, she came back. 00:39:58.659 --> 00:40:02.119 When she realized that she could die, she said, 00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:06.460 Mordecai and him. But when Mordecai reminded 00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:10.239 her who she is, in her God, and who was the God 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:15.099 that she asked, and what God was there, she came 00:40:15.099 --> 00:40:21.539 to. And look what the words say. She said, tell 00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:24.860 the people to pray and fast with you. And I will 00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:31.219 go with my servants to pray and fast. And I will 00:40:31.219 --> 00:40:34.980 present myself before the King. And if I die, 00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:38.840 then I come. That's how Pastor Carolina lived. 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:44.599 That's why nothing could defeat her. Not even 00:40:44.599 --> 00:41:04.780 death. Not to her or anyone else. A generation 00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:27.019 of witnesses that You decide what you're going 00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:33.699 to do with your life. You decide what you're 00:41:33.699 --> 00:41:36.139 going to do with the invitation of Jesus. To 00:41:36.139 --> 00:41:39.420 be the bride. For him to be the bridegroom. The 00:41:39.420 --> 00:41:42.300 bridegroom is jealous. He doesn't share his glory 00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:46.480 with anyone. The altar only has room for one 00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:51.880 person. In the people of Israel, the altar only 00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:58.820 one person. Oh Israel, your God only one. The 00:41:58.820 --> 00:42:05.599 commandment is the same for the church. Mark 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.079 12 .30 says you will love the Lord with all your 00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:09.739 heart, with all your mind, with all your strength. 00:42:11.740 --> 00:42:15.760 Today is the day that you have to make a decision. 00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:20.659 And if you take it, to rededicate your life, 00:42:22.460 --> 00:42:26.760 then everything that has separated you in the 00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:31.039 heart, the Lord will cleanse you and he will 00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:36.019 remove you from your life. from this day. And 00:42:36.019 --> 00:42:40.960 each day that you seek him, the Lord will be 00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:45.019 working more and more and more until you see 00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:49.780 yourself and you won't be able to recognize yourself. 00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.099 And the only thing that you and the people will 00:42:55.099 --> 00:42:59.440 see is that Christ of glory that has loved you 00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:06.210 till death. Close your eyes. I want to make a 00:43:06.210 --> 00:43:16.409 calling. It's a night of rededication. Tomorrow 00:43:16.409 --> 00:43:18.710 all day there will be a conference. Close your 00:43:18.710 --> 00:43:25.449 eyes. But some of you have to rededicate your 00:43:25.449 --> 00:43:32.219 life again. I rededicate my life every day to 00:43:32.219 --> 00:43:39.039 the Lord. Every day I rededicate it. Every day 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:45.460 I wake up. And I rededicate it to the Lord. Yesterday 00:43:45.460 --> 00:43:49.860 is gone. Tomorrow is not. It's not sure. We only 00:43:49.860 --> 00:43:55.239 have today. What is the calling? If you tell 00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:02.369 me Diana. There are areas in my life that I've 00:44:02.369 --> 00:44:06.010 restrained from the Lord. There's areas in my 00:44:06.010 --> 00:44:15.110 heart that are dry and need to be brought back 00:44:15.110 --> 00:44:20.429 to life by my Lord. There are areas in my heart 00:44:20.429 --> 00:44:23.530 that are not fully given to the Lord. I love 00:44:23.530 --> 00:44:31.940 him, but I don't feel it. I'm not given to surrender. 00:44:32.179 --> 00:44:37.619 I'm not surrendered. And I want to come back 00:44:37.619 --> 00:44:42.559 to my original calling, which is to love the 00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:49.099 Lord, to live for Him, so that then in a time 00:44:49.099 --> 00:44:52.599 for such as this, He will do everything that 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:53.980 He does.
