Thank you for always listening to our podcast.
We hope they are a blessing to your life. Burning
Lamb Church. Are you ready to go into the word?
We've been going through so many transformations.
The Lord has been speaking in so many ways. How
many of you can say that you've been growing
in these last couple of months? If this is you,
lift up your hands please. There has really been
a transformation in your personal life. I believe
that the Lord is giving us a beautiful season
of growing. And He's taking us to a place of
maturity to grow in Him. So I've come to a place
Where the Lord has me developing aspects of His
wisdom, He is gifting of His wisdom, giving grace
to receive wisdom. Because it's never just only
your faith. He gives you the grace to believe.
He gives you the grace to believe in him. He
gives you the grace to believe in his word. So
the faith that one has is added on to the grace
that he's given us. So today I want to pray so
that God can add grace Grace upon grace. That
we can keep growing in Him. So we bow our heads.
Father in the name of Jesus. You are the father
of light. You are the one who knows all things.
By you all things were made. And by you they
are sustained. And through you they are manifested,
Lord. We grow near to your table, hungry and
thirsty. We want to continue growing in you.
Lord, the light of your word, let it be present
in this day. I pray for the spirit of revelation,
of wisdom, of understanding, and the knowledge
of who you are. But you may remove the veil one
more time today. And we can see you clearly.
And we may be able to grow in you. We come to
be transformed. We come to be challenged. And
I declare. that no one leaves this place the
same. We shall all be transformed in one way
or another. Your word that is alive acts within
us, produces faith in us. The faith comes by
hearing and hearing of the word of God. So fill
us of faith, challenge us, and allow us to be
established even more in you, in the name of
Jesus. And the people of God say, amen. We're
in a season of metamorphosis. And this metamorphosis
has brought different elements that are very
necessary to recognize. And I believe that it's
something that the Lord is not just doing with
this church, but what the Lord is doing with
the body. He's intentionally working with the
church. He's retaking the church. The scripture
says in Matthew 16, 18, And it says, and above
this rock, I will edify my church. I will build
my church. These are words of Jesus. And I believe
that we are in a time where he is building his
church. The systems of man are falling. They're
becoming irrelevant. The religious system is
falling. And there's something pure, an essence
of the Lord that is coming out to shine. And
we're beneficiaries of that. So it's important
to understand that in this season, there's a
re -identification. God is re -identifying. The
Spirit of God is re -identifying. the person
of Jesus, how He is. Jesus is the exact representation
of the Father. The Father decided to reveal Himself
exclusively through the person of Jesus. God
Himself didn't need elements or prophets, but
He sent His only Son, His own Son here on earth.
To reveal the heart of a father. And this re
-identification is also confronting us and taking
us to get to know ourselves. And I'm going to
give you wisdom, write this down. The more you
grow in the knowledge. And when I say grow in
the knowledge, it's not information. I'm speaking
of intimacy. A relationship in communion. The
word is to get to know or to get to know through
intimacy. So the more we know the Lord through
intimacy, In reality you will get to know who
you really are. It's important to know that.
Number two, through this metamorphosis, we are
being established in a greater dimension of the
truths of the Lord. It's like we're being rooted
in the Lord, founded in the Lord, cemented in
the Lord. And I'm seeing this transformation
even in your life. Number three. This metamorphosis
is allowing us to be strengthened in this communion
with the Lord. The understanding of our posture
where we are in front of the Lord is extremely
important. que la oración de Jesús en Juan 17
ha sido ya. Understanding that the prayer of
the Lord in John 17 has already been answered.
Father, make us one as you and I are one. I in
you, you in me, and them in us. That prayer has
been answered. And we're going to continue to
learn about that today. Number four. This metamorphosis
is allowing us to walk genuinely with the Holy
Spirit of the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord is
again re -identifying us. He's representing us.
He's again representing us to ourselves. to us.
Number five. He's giving us access to be formed
in the image of Jesus. And all of that is in
metamorphosis. Number six. He's removing the
veil. Seven. He is teaching us to be reborn again.
What is it to be reborn in Christ? Number seven.
He's making us more aware of the transformation
of the nature in Christ in us. And number eight,
he's showing us how to abide in him. John 15.
He says, I am the vine and you are the branches.
abide in me and I in you and the fruits will
naturally come to be. Let's go to 2 Corinthians
chapter 5 verse 7. 2 Corinthians 5 17 says Therefore,
if anyone is in who? Christ. He is the new creation.
All things have passed away. Behold, all things
have become new. Again, because of John 17, Father,
make them one just as you and I are one. We have
been placed in Christ. The scripture says that
we were crucified with Christ and we're going
to read that verse later. And then it says that
we died in Christ. And then it says that we were
resurrected alongside Christ, with Christ. And
then it says that we ascended jointly with Christ.
So the perfect work of the cross, we were already
placed in Christ. That's why Scripture says,
leave that verse up if you can. What we just
read, 2 Corinthians 5 17, Therefore if anyone,
what does it say, is in Christ. It doesn't say
with Christ. It says in Christ. He is a new creation.
It doesn't say next to Christ, but it says in
Christ. All things have passed. Behold, all things
have become new. Pastor, you've already taught
this. Yes, but now I'm going to challenge you
for you to live it. Because one thing is to have
knowledge. And another is for you to start living
what you've received. This verse speaks about
being reborn. When one is in Christ, a new creature
comes out. You are reborn. So we carry and we
are placed in Christ to enjoy manifest His life.
John chapter one. I hope that you came prepared
because we're going to go through a lot of scripture.
John chapter one. Verse one through five. This
speaks about Jesus. And it's very similar to
Genesis one. it's an intimate form of Genesis
1 and and it's more it's personified personified
personified in Christ in the person of Jesus
in the person of Jesus Go ahead. In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. He was in the beginning with
God. All things were made through Him, and without
Him nothing was made that was made. Look at the
language here with John. In the next verse. Read
it with me. In Him. Was what? Come on, help me.
What is in Him? Life. And the life was the light
of men and the light shines in the darkness and
the darkness did not comprehend it. So it's very
important in verse four, it says, in him was
life. Say with me, in him was life. So let's
reaffirm this verse. Acts chapter 17, verse 28.
Acts 17 -28 says, for in him we live and move
and have our being as also some of our own poets
have said for we are also his offspring so we're
going to read it slowly okay what does the verse
say? read it again We live and move and have
our being, as also some of our own poets have
said, for we are also his offspring. So Luke
establishes in the book of Acts that in him we
live. In him we have our life. Apostle John writes
in John 1 -4, in him was life. So genuine life,
the true life given to men is found in Him. Say
amen, please. So not only does He provide life,
but in Him we move. In Him we have our being,
or we are. So the Holy Spirit, now, here, today,
is teaching us that we are living in Him and
how to live in Him. The question comes to be,
what does it mean to live in Him? And I'm going
to give you ten aspects of what it is to live
in Him. But it's important that you are aware
that there are other aspects of being able to
live in Him. This type of teaching This is going
to shake the religious form that has been made
for many years. Why? Because for so long, we
were taught, endoctrined, like God is far away,
and we're separated from Him. And we have to
do works in order to grow near Him. We have to
do certain things to please Him. But that's not
real. And that's what the Lord wants to break
in us. So that we can understand that today is
possible today. Have the same relationship with
the Father that Jesus had here with the Father.
So are you ready? What does it mean to live in
Him? Number one, write this down please. To live
in Him means that our life takes the form and
the essence of the life itself of Jesus. Let
me repeat it. To live in Him, number one means
that our life now in Christ begins to take a
form and the essence of the same life of Christ.
Let me repeat it again. What does it mean to
live in Him? It means that our own life now in
Christ begins to take the form of the life of
Christ that begins to take the essence of the
same life. of Christ. That the life of Christ
begins to now become our own life. Galatians
2 .20 Let's go there quickly. Look at the person
next to you and tell them. Tell them, do not
distract me because today I'm going to learn
about my Lord and my posture in Him. What does
Galatians 2 .20 say? It says I have been crucified
with Christ. I'm no longer separated. Separated
from Christ. What is it? It's not separated,
but it's with Christ. In Christ. I am jointly
crucified. And it says, it is no longer I who
live but Christ lives in me and the life which
I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the
Son of God who loved me and gave himself for
me. Jesus was teaching his disciples that he
who loves his life will lose it. But he who yields
his life But because of him or for him will now
can take his life. Here in Galatians it says
that because we have been crucified with him,
now we have another nature. There's another essence,
a new creature. Those that are in Christ are
new creatures. This is it. I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me. Do you know what this
is gonna mean while the Holy Spirit is working
in you? This means that your own life in the
flesh, and when I say in the flesh, I'm speaking
of your desires in the flesh. They will begin
to disappear, simply no longer be a part of you.
of you because you're going to be more conscious
of your union in Christ and you're going to learn
how to abide or remain in Him that the own life
of the vine will begin to sprout in you. And
the life of Christ will be manifested through
you. And it will no longer be through your discipline.
And not through your own work. But it will be
a heart that's yielded to the Lord, surrendered
to the Lord that understands the posture is in
the Lord. And because I am in him, I appropriate
myself of his life. He himself gives me of his
own life Zoe. begins to die, which is my desires,
my longings, the things that I want, and that
what I want is the same thing that He wants.
Now I think like He thinks, because you are in
Him, you have the mind of Christ. The scripture
says that you have the mind of Christ, but the
mind of Christ will be developed exclusively
in union with the Father, in union with the Son,
in union with the Spirit of God, and you being
in Him, conscious that I am in Christ. There's
no separation between Christ and I. There's no
separation between the Spirit of God and I. No
separation between the Father and I. God sealed
me with Himself inside of me. It has to go from
here to here. And this union... In this taking
of the life of Christ, it won't be in your strength.
You know what's gonna happen when you become
more conscious that you are in him? You're gonna
love as he loves. The people that used to get
on your nerves. Now you're gonna have mercy with
them. You're gonna have compassion with them.
It's like you don't believe me, but it's the
truth. Because the life of Christ, how is the
life of Christ? The scripture says that God is
love. He doesn't have love. He is love. His essence
is love. When you are in him, his nature, his
character begins to be formed in you. And you
begin to love the unlovable. Say amen, please.
It's a reality, it's a truth. That is where the
fruit of the begins to sprout out of you. And
what is the fruit of the spirit? Because it doesn't
say the fruits of the spirit, it says the fruit
of the spirit. What is it? Love. You're going
to be the most lovable person. Say amen. Say
amen, please. Especially those machos out there.
You're going to be the person that forgives the
quickest. Don't worry about it. The essence,
the nature, who God really is, begins to now
sprout in you. Quickly to forgive. Pray in mercy.
The image of the Father. Just as the Father loves
you love. Generous like the Father. Say amen,
you were quiet there. How is the Father? manifested
in Christ. Now that manifestation of the person
of Jesus begins to be worked in you because you
are in him. Number two, same verse. Our faith
begins to grow. It begins to be perfected in
Christ Jesus. We believe like Christ because
we're in him. That means we have the life of
Christ. In Him, we live. It's not that you live
your own life. It's now that there's an exchange
of life. Now the life of Christ is being formed
in you. Your level of faith will shoot up. Why?
Because I am in Him. He's developing the faith
that belongs to God. He's developing in me. With
Christ I am jointly crucified. I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me. And the life which now
I live. In the flesh, I live by what? Come on,
help me, how am I living it? I live by faith,
not in a result. Not in the faith of the papers
that they're gonna give me. Not in the faith
of the house that I'm gonna buy. Not in the faith
of the car that God is gonna give me. But in
the faith, in who? Of the Son of God. The same
faith that comes from the God begins to be cultivated
in us. Where, what you ask for. Your dad is ready
to give. And you don't have to try and think
of a way to produce something. Nope. Everything
is produced through union. Amen. The church is
not used to having communion. They're used to
making sacrifices. Repentance means to change
your way of thinking. But religion has taught
us or has sold us. It's like we've asked the
Lord for forgiveness and we feel bad. But listen
to the word. Repentance. Pain penance again.
Repentance. Pain penance. again. The true word
is metanoia, which is the transformation of the
mind. To let go of a way of thinking and capture
the way the Lord thinks. Are we here? Again,
it's going to confront us in so many areas. Pastor,
do you believe in repentance? 100%. But not just
crying here and making myself feel really bad
because I sinned. Because true repentance needs
a fruit. And that fruit means transformation.
That's that's another story So our faith is strengthened
exclusively in the Son of God Number three saying
verse The Spirit of God begins to reveal to us
continuously How loved we really are He says
who loved me and gave himself for me So again
the Spirit of God in this metamorphosis In teaching
us how to live in Christ Begins to now establish
the love of God in us Do you want to know why
this is so important? Because many walk with
an orphaned mind. And they need to be established
in love. Scripture speaks of and teaches us.
Grow in the love of God. It says the perfect
love of God. Cast out fear. The love of God has
to be perfected in us. And the Spirit of God
desires to perfect the love of God in us. When
that happens, there's a freedom. And in that
freedom, we will be living free of fear, free
of anxiety, free of worries. Say amen, please.
Because the perfect love of God casts out all
fear. Pastor, everything that you're talking
about is so impossible. Yes, because religion
religion has taught us that. It never gave us
the direction which is possible to live established
in the love of God just as Jesus was. Say amen
please. To live so loved just as Christ is loved.
Jesus said that. He said the same way that my
father loves me, he loves you. And then in John
17 he says, Lord in the same way that you love
me, love them. If we were to walk in the love
of God, there wouldn't be any competition. You
wouldn't be in competition with anybody. You
wouldn't be comparing yourself with anyone. There
wouldn't be any jealousy. There wouldn't be any
envy. Or you wouldn't be lusting over someone
or over what they have. You would be fully established
in your identity. You know that you're a son.
You know that you're a daughter. You know that
you're fully loved. There's no doubt in your
mind. You are fully established in the Lord.
I am as beloved as Christ is loved. That's why
Apostle John throughout his whole gospel He would
write, the beloved disciple that Jesus... The
disciple that Jesus loved. And we read that and
we're like, oh, he was so prideful. But nonetheless,
the Spirit of God allowed that for that to be
present. John didn't have any competition. John
was at the feet of Christ when everybody else
was hiding. Everybody had fear and he was present
with the Lord, with Jesus. He was established
in the love of God. He knew how loved he was.
There's a place in this metamorphosis where God
begins to take this out of you and you begin
to understand, I am so loved just as Jesus is
loved. I am such a son as Christ's son. I am
not less loved than Jesus. I'm not less loved
than Jalen, the one that sings. Or Pastor Daniel
who preaches. God doesn't have favorites. But
you continue being His favorite.
