To bring health. Matthew 3 verse 11. It's pretty
crazy whenever you read Luke 12, Jesus says,
I've been wanting to set this whole entire earth
on fire. He says, I want my fire burn all over
the earth. Because his fire is not for destruction.
It's for restoration of his people. It's for
judgment of all demons and principalities. But
it's for healing for the believers. Matthew 3,
verse 11. Those who repent, I baptize with water.
I'm going to read out of the passion. Those who
repent, I will baptize with water. But there
comes a man after me, speaking of Jesus, who
is more powerful than I. In fact, I'm not even
worthy enough to pick up his sandals. He will
submerge you into union with the Spirit of holiness
and raging with raging fire. And then he immediately
says, he comes with a winning fork. in his hand
and it comes and comes to the threshing floor
to sift what is worthless to sift what is worthless
from what is pure and he is ready to sweep out
his threshing floor gather his wheat into his
granary but the straw he will burn up with the
fire that can't be extinguished. So he's saying
This is John the Baptist. I baptize in water,
but there's one that's coming. His name is Jesus.
He's going to baptize us in His Holy Spirit and
raging fire. And that raging fire is going to
burn off because He's going to separate what
is His and what is not His. I believe that we've
entered into that season. 1 Peter chapter 1 verse
3. Can I have the worship team, please? 1 Peter
1 3. It says, blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ. According to his great
mercy. He has caused us to be born again say
with me born again To a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead To
an inheritance that is imperishable undefiled
and unfading kept in heaven for you Para una
herencia incorruptible, incontaminada, inimar
sensible, reservada en los cielos para vosotros.
Who by God's grace are being guarded through
faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in
the last time. Porque sois guardados por el poder
de Dios mediante la fe para alcanzar la salvación
que está preparada para ser manifestada en el
tiempo postrero. In this you rejoice. Though
now for a little while if necessary you have
been grieved by various trials So that the tested
genuineness of your faith more precious than
gold that perishes through it is tested by fire
May be found to result in praise and glory and
honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ So what
is being tested by fire? Our faith. Though you
have not seen him, you love him. Though you do
not see him, you believe in him and rejoice with
joy that is inexpressible. and filled with glory
obtaining the outcome of your faith the salvation
of your souls second corinthians 4 verse 16 say
with me the fire of god El fuego de Dios no va
a irse hasta que tenga mi corazón. Y una vez
que tenga mi corazón, va a quemar aún más. 2
Corinthians 4 verse 16. So we do not lose heart.
Though our outer self is wasting away our inner
self is being renewed day by day for the light
momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal
weight of glory beyond all comparison as We look
not into the things that are seen but the things
that are unseen for the things that are seen
are transcendent But the things that are unseen
are eternal Por tanto no desmayamos aunque este
nuestro hombre exterior se ve desgastado el interior
no obstante se renueva de día en día porque esta
leve tribulación mantiene momentánea produce
en nosotros cada vez más excelente y eterno peso
de gloria no mirando nosotros las cosas que se
ven sino las cosas que no se ven pues las cosas
que se ven son temporales pero las que no se
ven son eternas Trials and tribulations will
become normal. This is why you have to get accustomed
to the fire. The bride doesn't want to hear this.
And you have to be very cautious. See, your walk
with Christ was never to be different than his
walk. He went through suffering. We got to go
through suffering. See, where's the amen? He
went through trials. Where do we have to go through?
Trials. Okay, let me bring a bigger perspective.
Whether you're a believer or not, you're going
to go through suffering. You're going to go through
trials. You're going to go through problems.
It's better to go through it with Him. And know
that He is with you. Know how to find Him in
the middle of those things. Know how to suffer
with Him. How to persevere with Him. How to allow
Him to work in your heart. Because there has
to be a moment in our life where those trials
actually become joy. Rejoice! When you go through
trials, and you go through tribulations, rejoice.
But how am I going to rejoice? Why am I going
to rejoice? Because He is forming His character
in me. Because He's already made a way out. Because
He's already opened the heavens. Because He is
with me. Because not everything is lost. Because
He's the God who makes things possible when they
are impossible. Because He makes a way where
there is no way. Because He gives opportunities
when no one else gives opportunities. Because
you serve a living God. A God that already went
through suffering. Went through trials. Went
through problems. He said, I am the way. I am
the truth. I am the life. Stop trying to avoid
problems. They're going to be coming at you.
Pastor, are you cursing me? Absolutely not. What
I am doing is enabling you. I am empowering.
I'm giving you wisdom. So when you see those
trials and tribulations come, you know how to
face them. You know how to go through them. You
won't be entangled by them. You won't be yielded
to them. But you will find the Lord in the middle
of that problem, in the middle of that tribulation,
in the middle of that circumstance, and faith
will arise because you're not a coward. You are
not a coward. You are not a coward. You're not
going to run from problems. You know that that
giant is there. It is set up by God because it's
trying to stop you to get to the other side.
But every giant is tailor -made to you. So church.
Cultivate the fire. Receive the fire. Endure
in the fire. Let Him cultivate His image in you.
He didn't just want to baptize you with His Spirit,
but now that aspect of the fire is coming out.
Because what the world needs today is men and
women that love the Lord, that can model what
it looks like when we are on fire for the Lord.
Because you're not lukewarm. You're not called
to walk with one foot in the world and one foot
with God. No, the Holy Spirit wants you all in.
Everything or nothing. All or nothing. Say with
me, all or nothing. All or nothing. And so we
run to the fire. We are men and women of the
fire. Men and women of the spirit. Ministers
of fire says the book of Psalms. This is you.
This is what you're called for. Not to heat up
that chair. Not to come on a Sunday. Not only
to put your Christianese outfit on a Sunday.
No, that's not you. I know that that's not you.
You're called to walk with the Lord. Burn for
him. Love him. Say amen, please. And if you're
getting offended, well, there's a controlled
fire right there for you. Deal that with the
Lord. Submit that to the Lord. Let him burn off
everything that's making you feel uncomfortable.
We're not called to walk with God halfway. He
didn't give you a half salvation. He didn't forgive
half of your sins. He didn't break off half of
your curses. He went all in. Everything. I want
her. I want my bride. I lay down my life. All
or nothing. And so the bride has to respond the
same way. All or nothing. I don't want to be
lukewarm. It's walking in the fire of God. There's
something about the fire. Just a few of you guys
would get lit up on this. And everyone else is
like charcoal. With just one that gets lit. Just
one. And I know that there's more than one. But
just one. So if you don't feel like you're walking
in that fire, you gotta get close to those that
are in the fire. So that that flame of the Lord
come and catches you. So that you can be lit
up for Him. And you can burn for Him. That you
would end this year strong. That you would end
this year strong. And go into 2026, burning for
the Lord. With a vision for the Lord. Moving
forward with the Lord. Understanding that God
has something greater for you. Last verse. Hosea
chapter 10. Verse 12. Last verse, we end with
this. Lift up your hand and say, Lord. Say, Lord.
Intensify your fire. Come on, say intensify that
fire. Ignite that fire. Burn off all the areas
in my life that are not in communion with you,
that are not in alignment with you. Burn it off.
Burn it off. Burn it off. Come on, I want to
be one with you. Hosea 10 verse 12, I'm going
to read out of the Amplified. It says, so with
the view of righteousness, that righteousness,
light seed, may germinate, reap in accordance
with mercy and loving kindness. break up your
uncultivated ground he's telling you partner
with me let's break up that land that's not cultivated
that land that hasn't given any fruits let's
break it together Because the next, it continues
to say, for it is time to seek and search diligently
for the Lord. And to long for His blessing until
He comes to reign righteousness and His gift
of salvation. So the Lord says, change your perspective.
Change the way you're seen. Change your perspective.
I want that place where you are at right now.
That place that's hard for you to give to me
right now. It's not in right standing with me.
It's unjust. It is out of alignment with me.
So so... with a view of righteousness. Work that
uncultivated land in you. Let my fire come and
burn those areas. Controlled fire. To burn off
that, to replenish, to prepare the land. So this
way rain of righteousness can come. I thank you
for your heart. I hear the Lord say thank you
for giving me your heart. But I want all of it.
Not just a little bit. All of it. So your insecurities,
your anxiousness, your pain. Your trauma, your
rejection, your fears, all of this other stuff
that is still there, that you're still having
communion with. Give it to me. Let my flames
of love, thank Jesus, because this fire is an
expression of intense love. So, His flames of
intense love burn off all those things, all of
those areas, all of those aspects to restore
you, to renew you. There's a grace for this.
You tell me, Pastor, this is me. The Lord just
spoke to me. I need to deal with these things
in my heart. On the count of three. I don't know
if it's unforgiveness. I have no idea what it
is. On the count of three. Stand to your feet.
One, two, three. Quickly stand to your feet.
Just lift up your hands. We're going to pray.
See this fire is for preparation of glory. The
bride will be glorious. He's preparing her to
be glorious. So lift up your hands. Lord, we
partner with you.
