Welcome to Burning Lab Podcast The daily refresh
for your life Jesus is the center of everything
we do Burning Lab Church I've been doing finance
seminars for 15 years Financial conferences for
15 years. Radio, talk show radio, every day.
But I'm shaking. I'm still shaking and it's still
so nerve wracking. Why? Because I know that when
I'm speaking about money, I'm also speaking about
the heart of the bride. Because Jesus said, where
is your treasure? That is where your heart is.
And each time I sit with families, when they
open up their wallets, they show me their hearts.
And I know what's valuable, that money and finances,
the value that money and finances have for the
bride of today. So what do you think if we pray?
I'm going to close my eyes. So beloved father,
precious father, and this time once more, we
lift up our voices with the angels, with the
archangels, and with the saints, and we say,
blessed. blessed, blessed, holy, powerful, beloved,
precious Jesus, our beloved. We continue hunger
for you. We continue to thirst for you. We're
truly awaiting you, just as the bride sits desperately
to see her bridegroom. This is how we are today,
beloved Father. Hoy disponemos nuestra mente
para tener el conocimiento que tú nos quieres
dar Hoy disponemos nuestra voluntad para recibir
la sabiduría que tú nos vas a entregar To prepare
us for the times that are coming. We love you
Jesus. We bless you. And we make our hearts available.
Amen. I'm shaking not because I'm nervous. Well,
maybe a little. My heart is shaking with what
the Lord has given us these last two days. And
this topic that we're going to speak of has a
great responsibility over us. Our conference
is based on Revelation 7, 9, and 8. Rejoice and
be glad because the wedding of the Lamb is at
hand. and the bride has prepared herself. She's
now the wife, she's no longer the bride. So the
bride doesn't have any rights over the bridegroom.
But the wife does. When you're a bride, nothing
of the bridegroom is yours yet. But when you're
a wife, Everything of your husband is now yours.
So begin taking that to your heart. Everything
of my husband is mine. My prayer is that this
word may be revealed to your heart and you begin
to see You see yourself as the wife, no longer
as the bride. But we're going to speak of a wedding.
Today we're going to marry the father. At least
in our finances. So a wedding is costly, correct?
So you need money, correct? And a beautiful wedding
like we want to have is even more expensive.
So what is my responsibility with this topic?
The key point here, and write this down. God
doesn't come for a bride that is in debt, that
is dependent of the system. God comes for a wife.
that's healthy and free. And for context of this
topic, we're going to direct these scriptures
to the finances. We're going to begin with what
is the bride room? What happens in a bride room?
I'm going to ask you. Como fue el preparativo
como se preparó el día cuando ya la van a peinar
a maquillar el velito que había en esa habitación.
I want to ask you Nervios que más I want to ask
you how it was when you were getting ready You
were nervous you were happy go so came out joyful.
What else was there? makeup What else? What is
the bride doing? Who's surrounding her? Who's
helping her? So spiritually, it's where the bride.
You prepare yourself. It's not passiveness. And
there's no religiousness here. It's a preparation
that's strategic and with integrity and active.
There are women that are filled with the Spirit,
but really filled with the Spirit. But they're
empty in financial wisdom. And it's because the
question is, why? Aren't I supposed to have everything?
Isn't it the fact that I'm filled with the Spirit
isn't that part of it? What's happening with
me? Why aren't my finances where they're supposed
to be? I've seen many women that pray for blessing,
but they don't get prepared to administer it.
blessings are coming. The blessing comes, but
I see you stressful. I see you nervous. Yeah,
now you don't have a coach purse. Now you have
a Louis Vuitton. And now they're not putting
salve in their face. Now they're putting Botox.
And now we're not just covering our gray hair.
Now we put extensions on. You have hair extension,
then you have the eyelash extensions. You have
the extension of your nails. And extension in
your butt. Nowadays that's the most popular surgery
that you could get. So they prayed for the blessing
and God gave it to them. It's not bad. Put those
extensions wherever you want to put them. It's
okay. But are you administrating what you have?
Is your richness bringing stress? Are you a wife
of a businessman? Are you yourself a businesswoman?
But do you have a life filled with stress? Where
you can't sleep? That's not richness. That's
having money. It's a fake. That's not the bride.
And that's not the wife. Jesus spoke more about
money than of faith. He knew that because the
heart and money are connected. That's why he
spoke about that. He said a word that impacted
me so much and the Lord took me to study it so
much. And it was the parable of the five wise
women and the five foolish women. And that's
Matthew 25, 113. And write that down because
that's gonna be your homework. And when you go
home, I'm gonna give you a lot of homework. So
in this, he speaks about ten virgins, he speaks
about ten minds, he speaks about ten plagues,
and God uses the number ten so much. What does
number 10 mean? Why tithing? The 10 % of what
I have, I'm going to bring to the house of the
Lord. It doesn't mean and it doesn't say That
the 10 % belong to the Lord Because the reality
of it is When you understand this When the Lord
reveals it to you And it's a spiritual revelation
Your finances will change Let me tell you how
this changed me At the age of 13, I was abused
by my father, psychologically, sexually, in all
senses. That abuse made me a parent at the age
of 15. At the age of 16, I was a parent to two
girls. And it was a product of that abuse. I
didn't have an education. I grew up in Mexico
in a province where we didn't even have our own
water. We didn't even have toilet paper. We had
to use stones. We had one dress for school and
then one dress to be at home. I really grew up
in extreme poverty. That is my trasfondo. The
abuse lasted from the age of 13 to the age of
19. From the age of 19 to the age of 36 a transformation
within me happened. At the age of 34 I won my
first million dollars. I've never won anything
less after that time. How did I do it? Magic?
No, no. I had an encounter with the living God.
And that God healed me, transformed me from my
inside out. Amen, exactly. An applause for the
Lord. I'm going to get out of the topic for a
little bit. Because yesterday, when I got here,
The Lord began to remind me of that. She was
preaching. She wasn't speaking about me or everything
I've been through. I remember this and then the
Lord speaks. And today I am somehow influenced.
People listen. I counsel thousands of families
in the financial area. I've helped thousands
of families to get out of poverty. So I have
a little bit of influence. But the Lord told
me, Abelina, I don't love you. Because you bring
women to my altar. Because you minister to the
hearts of women. Because you've taken people
out of poverty. Because you have money. While
she was preaching, the Lord showed me where he
brought me out of. When I was in a corner, my
family didn't speak to me. My family didn't love
me. My own family hated me. I was the black sheet
of my family. It was my fault. For everyone,
it was my fault. I provoked the abuse. I didn't
have a boyfriend? I wish I would have had at
least a lover. So he could help you just a little
bit. But I didn't even have that. Nothing. I
was in a corner. I didn't have money. Not even
to eat. Not even to feed my own daughters. Not
even to buy them diapers. My babies were here.
But they didn't use diapers. They would use clothes
that I would gather from the trash. I would mix
milk with water to give them something to eat.
No one would give anything for me. No one gave
anything for me. No one is interested in me.
I didn't have clothes. No one would give me a
shirt. I would grab them from the trash. And
from there he lifted me up. From there he loved
me. From there he chose me. When you're nothing.
When you're no one. When you think no one is
watching. When you think you're not valuable.
When you feel that you're dying of pain. That's
where he found me. That's where he lifted me
up. How did the million dollars come? Now I have
to learn his principles. Now I have to study
the principles of the king. That's how the million
dollars came. That's how the businesses that
have come have came. That's how the houses have
come. That's how the lands have come. That's
how the businesses have come. I learned the principles
of the king. And that's what he wants to teach
you today. Do you want them? Do you truly want
them? Are you ready? There are changes that you're
going to have to do. So let's go with the virgins
that were wise and the virgins that were foolish.
The wise. They save oil. Waiting for the bridegroom
to come. And we've heard these couple days, yesterday
and today, that there's a cambio that's coming
in the finances. There's a shift that's coming.
There's a shaking in las finanzas. No te pongas
comoda. Don't get comfortable. You live in the
richest country and powerful country. And even
though you think you're poor, you are not poor.
But that is coming. Because a persecution is
coming. How are you going to prepare? And that's
where we're going. So when we speak about this,
we're going to change the meaning of the oil
for a little bit. Because oil in the Bible also
means a lot of money. We're going to go, do you
remember that widow woman that was dying? And
then the prophet comes, and she says, I'm going
to die. I have a little bit of flour and a little
bit of oil. And what did the prophet tell her?
Bring it. Bring dishes. Bring all the pots that
you have that you can find. She didn't ask, well
for what? So the first thing you have to do is
to prepare yourself. So how am I going to prepare
myself? I'm going to show you right now. The
word of the Lord is going to tell us. And he
tells her, first give me something to eat. The
Lord says, what do you have for him? The prophet
was acting as a type of god. He didn't make you
empty. What do you have for him? What is the
last thing you have for him? She said, I'm dying.
After I eat this with my son, that's it. I'm
going to die. What do you have? Right now. Write
it down. If you don't have it right now, go back
home and ask the Lord. Because you do have something.
There's something that you have. So what do you
have? He comes, he fills it, and that woman became
a millionaire. Because she had a big debt. So
not only did he pay the debt, but then she had
money left over. So money also has a context
of money. So when you read the Bible, let's read
it in that context. So there were 10 virgins.
Five prepared themselves. Five had oil. And the
five saved it when the bridegroom came. He didn't
find them. Being poor, he didn't find them. Dying
of hunger, he didn't find them. He didn't find
them just laying around, but the other five he
did. Why? They stayed how? They stayed asleep.
Oh, why am I going to say? And this is so embarrassing.
i have some people come to me and they're like
oh i listen to you the radio i've heard you for
15 years and i just love how you speak and i
ask them well have you applied anything that
i've spoken oh no but i really like what you
said because you were right but have you applied
it and see this is what i'm saying they need
to come to me make an appointment so that we
can do an x -ray on you and tell you where you're
malpracticing that money wow So spiritual preparation
without spiritual wisdom. spiritual preparation
without financial wisdom, which is what we've
learned these two days. It's a door that can
be closed. I got a little nervous. He's seen
me talk about finances so many times, but I still
get nervous. I'm going to look this way. So we're
going to speak about the principles of the kingdom
so that you can be prepared. So the first thing
we're going to do is apply. Let's go to Luke
16, 10. And now I'm going to read it in English.
I speak Spanish too in English. Okay. Okay. Luke
16 says, whoever can be trusted with very little.
can also be trusted with much. In the Hebrew
Bible, I went to go look for it because I wanted
a more definitive version of it. The word faithful
means that you can trust the very, very little
to someone. So I'm gonna read it again. Whomever
can be trusted with very little can also be trusted
with much. And whomever is dishonest with very
little, will also be dishonest in much. So there
are two words that the Lord teaches us here.
Ask yourself, can the Lord trust me with His
finances? Ask. The question for you that I'm
gonna ask is how much do you make a week? The
next question is how much do you save out of
what you get that week? So how much you make?
And the second question is how much do you save?
If you're not saving at least the 5 % of what
you make, you're not qualified to receive more.
So the people tell me when I ask them, why don't
you save? They say because I don't have enough.
But I didn't ask them that. You don't save because
you don't have enough. The reason you don't save
is not because you don't have enough. The reason
you don't save is because you haven't learned
to be a good steward of what the Lord has given
you. And we're gonna see it with the Word. The
next question that I got to ask is, am I dishonest?
If you're not saving, let's read it again. he
who is not trustworthy with the very little cannot
be trusted with the very much and who is dishonest
with the very little
