You are great my Lord Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah. Hallelujah Jesus. I thank you for
your goodness. I thank you for the passion of
your people my Lord Jesus. I thank you for the
heart while you give us my Lord God. Hallelujah,
hallelujah Jesus. I will raise our hands. It's
not because I'm nervous. It's because I want
to praise it. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, church.
I'm so thankful for being standing here in front
of all of you. It's always a pleasure to be here.
Me, I'm always here. But it is a pleasure to
be in this place. And somehow I feel like when
I stand here, I feel something different. You
are in a special place. But this is an opportunity
what our pastor gave me to be able to do. I'm
very thankful to Sister Lisa Pastor Linder for
the opportunity. I'm thankful for the leadership
what we have. I'm very thankful. I'm thankful
for the patient. what they have for our kids.
Amen. What I would say for my own kids. Oh my,
let's not talk about that. Let's go to the lesson.
Well, I have a lesson here. I will say I'm not
gonna, I will try not to raise my voice because
it's a lesson. And always is a lesson, but somehow
the spirit of God always gets in and let the
spirit of God work. Amen. And that's what I'm
here. I'm here to be used for, for the spirit
of the Lord. Let the Lord do His will. Amen.
Shall we open our Bibles? Those who have a paper.
I'm opening my iPad here, which is a paper. John
chapter one verse one. John chapter one verse
one says, in the beginning was the word and the
word was with God and the word was God. And the
title is don't hide from the word. of God. Don't
hide from the word of God. Shall we pray? Lord
Jesus, we come unto you, my God, right now. Take,
doctor, your Lord. Take everything, whatever
is in our minds and our heart, my Lord Jesus.
Remove it, my God. My Lord, we need your word.
We need you, my Lord Jesus. Whatever it is, my
God. We might bring so much in our minds and
our heart right now at this moment. Bow your
word, my Lord. Let it be your God, a light in
our path right now. Hallelujah, hallelujah. I
thank you, my Lord Jesus. I thank you, my Lord
Jesus. Clap your hand, people. Clap your hands
to Jesus. Clap your hand to Jesus. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, you may be seated. This
goes like this. Number one, believers needs to
know the Word of God. God has called us to a
living, hard -working, functional, and purposeful.
Sorry, I didn't learn it. Faith. simply put our
faith in a faith with meaning. It is makes a
different in our life and is in the life of those
around us. Some people know a lot about the Bible,
amen? But they are people without faith. However,
there are no people of great faith who know the
Bible a little bit about the Bible. Does our
faith can be governed by our knowledge and commitment
to the Word of God? Our faith will also grow
as we increase our knowledge of the Word of God.
The entire Bible is inspired. The Bible is presented
to readers and divine inspired. Inspired from
numbers of writers for many years. The scripture
teaches that was inspired by the Holy Spirit.
The inspiration of the Bible. is not something
what the Bible pretends to debate or demonstrate.
Instead, it's something based in faith. Amen?
I'm trying to wake you up, church. I know you're
tired. Believe me, I know. The Bible is the most
historical document, particularly the New Testament,
as it exists. the 6000 manuscripts, Greek manuscripts
of the New Testament. It is important to have
faith to read the Bible. And resume, without
faith, the inspiration is impossible. But with
faith, the inspiration is natural. Paul tells
Timothy that the scripture is helpful for teaching,
correcting, and training in righteousness. A
personal testimony from me, I will tell you what
is for me, the Bible personally. The Bible for
me is a special book because that's the only
book I can read, amen? Because if you ask me
how many books I read in a year, there's only
one, the Bible. Amen? Because if you put me to
read a novel, story, first page, done, fall asleep.
My wife can tell you. She read the book, she
tells me this story, and I'm very thankful for
that. Because she loved to read books. So I can
know this story. And that's what I was doing
when I was in the school. I had a help. to pass
the test. Somebody read it, I got it, that's
it, write it, pass it. But I was very, very lazy
in reading books. Thank God, I'm not lazy to
read the Word of God because I will not be here
today. Amen. He's the light of my feet. Amen.
Hallelujah Jesus. And also, What helped me, what
the Word of God is helped me in the point to
learn how to speak. Don't talk about English.
Let's talk about speaking means now saying things
what I used to say, dressing up like I used to
dress up. I told you my testimony already, you
know, but the Word of God helped me with all
that. The Word of God helped me for my filthy
mouth. The Word of God helped me how to dress
up myself. Of course, with the help of my wife.
But, I'm being honest, I used to dress up so
loose. I used to speak normal words. But the
Word of God is really personally my light. The
word of God is the inspiration and the spirit
for me because he shine. Every time I open those
pages, every time like you just see in the picture
what Daniel did, that's phenomenal job. Thank
you, sir. You know, that can be one of us hiding
from the word of God. Being afraid to open that
wonderful book. That person, what is behind the
tree right there, can be shown. See the lights,
get scared. Because when we open the word of
God, it's something special. Something why God
can show you many ways, many things, many arrows
while you're doing your own life personally.
Amen. Isaiah 6 -7 says, and he touched my mouth.
with it and says, behold, that has touched your
lips, your iniquity is taken away and your sin
purges. Let it be the Old Testament continue
for today. Many people might say the Old Testament
is for the people before us. The New Testament
is for us today, but I can tell you, the New
Testament is guess so poor from the Old Testament.
Amen? From the Old Testament is the revelation
that inspired the Holy Spirit. Peter writes to
the believers over the inspiration and the meaning
of the revelation of the Old Testament. 2 Peter
says, chapter one, verse 2021 says, knowing this
verse, the no prophecy or scripture of any private
interpretation. Verse 21, for prophecy never
comes by the will of men, but holy men of God
spoke as they were moved. by the Holy Spirit.
The scripture was now the private thought of
wise or educated men of Israel. On the contrary,
it was a public revelation declared to all people
through the stream of the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit.
The phrase were moved is the Greek verb phenomenon.
Forgive me if I don't read it right. Which means
to carry, to bear, to bring. Amen. Let it be,
I will have hidden the word of God in my heart
as six exist many reasons to study the word of
God. We talk about the inspiration. The word
of God. is the revelant of the Old Testament
and the effectiveness of the New Testament for
the growth of the Christianity. This is okay,
but they may comprehend that the Word of God
has a real benefit in our life. We need to hit
it. in our hearts. Man, Psalms 119 -11. It's
not enough just to know the Word of God. We had
to apply the knowledge in our life to allow the
Word of God to change our hearts, minds, and
spirits. We will never be able to use what we
don't know. There is the first steps in this
process is to make sure that we are learning
the Word of God and we are expecting and spending
time every day. Amen? Number two, the Word of
God teaches us how to live. The purpose of the
Word of God is double, the first. is the revelation
of God, relational of the narrative of the scripture.
Second, reveal the life of faith for those who
follow Jesus and help us to practice faith through
our daily life. The scriptures focus revealing
God's guidance. the believers to represent the
interests of the kingdom of God. Everything what
is written is obey, there is use, the Bible for
all the purposes. The result, it will be wrong.
Because if you trying to use the word of God
for your own convenience. You're doing wrong.
Amen. Let us use the scriptures for our good
purpose. Can be to fix our life and speak of
speaking our way of dress. Our daily walk can
be in our jobs and our homes. I'm preaching to
myself. Amen. Before I preach somebody else,
I'm gonna preach it to myself first. Because
if I don't read the word of God, if I'm telling
you, read the word of God, I'm not reading and
I'm not doing nothing myself. I need to read
it first before I preach it to you. Men, let
us use the scripture for a good purpose. Letter
A, the word of God teaches us how to please God.
Deuteronomy chapter six, verse four and six.
says, hero Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord
is one. Verse five, you shall love the Lord,
your God, with all your heart, with all your
soul, with all your strength. Six, in these words
which I commend you today shall be in your heart.
Amen. These scriptures be in our heart and mind
every day in our life. The way it says here,
hear Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
These words, they have to be really written in
our heart and our life. You know, if it's possible
in every morning, Every morning when you have
your daily prayer. Every morning when you, before
you get out of your house, repeat those words.
My God is one. His name is Jesus Christ. Amen?
Our heart is the seat of our emotions or our
feelings flow from the heart. There, therefore,
all our emotions should reflect. the love of
God. When the shema, I don't know if I say right
that word in English, but shema, takes center
stage in our lives. The shema called us to love
God with our thinking, feeling we must pursue,
pursue them with all our minds. Let it be, the
Bible give us wisdom, understanding. The word
of God give us greater understanding to us. And
the word in the world is around us. The word
of God give us wisdom, understanding. The wisdom
of his knowledge is better for appropriate. Psalms
119 says, How can a young man cleanse his way
by taking it according to your word? The text
teaches to follow the word of God. Amen? I know
this lesson has a lot of word of God. It has
to be a reason. It means we need it. We need
to get in store on this little thing here. Amen?
Let me get out for a moment, but I can tell you
you know so many times I'm going to this many
times we get in our personal prayer and We have
this next to us Somebody texts. Let me check
the text Somebody send your email. Let me check
the email and use you are in your prayer You
gotta respect that moment while you dedicate
to God. Amen? If you're reading the Word, His
Word, the Holy Word, respect that moment. Let's
forget about this. Let's forget about everything
else. You spend that moment with God. You spend
that moment when you open the Word of God, dedicate
it to it. Take advantage. because you don't know
what can happen the second after you're done.
Amen? The Bible teaches us to overcome sin. Psalms
119 offered some help and guidance to avoid sin.
By keeping God's word in our heart, we have protection
against sin. God's word, protect us from traveling
down to a bad path. Amen? Of them, we walk on
the wrong path. It's already too late. When you're
going down, you say, this is not going to hurt
me. Nothing is going to happen to me. I can do
this. Nobody's going to see me. I can still do
this. Stuff like that. But when you go deeper
little by little, little by little, you forget
Him. You now open the Word of God anymore. You're
not spending not even five minutes anymore talking
with God. And the way I say talking with God
because that's our prayer is speaking. It's having
conversation with God. Amen? Like the way you
have conversation with friends, relatives. Whatever
you are speaking with. I speak like that. You
know, I speak openly. So many times people might
say I'm crazy. But oh my, there's a lot of crazy
people outside. You know, they're bubbling their
heads and you don't even know what they're doing,
what's wrong with that guy. Sometime you go in
the car and you see they're jumping and they're
doing this and that. I mean, so who cares if
you're doing the same thing? But I know for who
I'm doing it. Am I that person? That person might
be doing it for the same thing too, right? So
be careful when you judge also. Amen? Psalms
119, 101 says, I have restricting my feet from
every evil way that I may keep your word. Let
it be the word of God is a land to our feet.
As possible, many of us grow in the urban section,
which is you see a lot of lights, you know, you
see signs, you have lights, right? So many times
you might not have a light from the cars, but
the signs give you lights where you're walking,
right? So you ever... See, you ever see by yourself,
being in the room, dark, really dark, you ever
experienced that? You don't have to raise your
hand, but I will tell you my soul. I did experience
that. You know what it is to be in the real dark.
I'm talking about physical dark, not spiritual
because I was in the dark and spiritual too.
Men, when I was in the world, that's when I was
in darkness. I'm not in darkness anymore. Amen?
I am in spirit. I am in the will of God. So I'm
not in darkness anymore in the spirit. But what
I'm saying is when I was a kid, it's a light
what they use in my mom's town. They call it
candil. So that lamp has a... You might see it.
They have it here. I see it, but they are more
modern. They have the cores and all that stuff.
You don't see it. But over there, it's like a
little cup, like this metal cup. And it has some
kind of rope on the top. And you pull fuel in
it. And you pull fire to that thing. And here
we go. You have a light. But when you are in
the town, You don't have no lights, city lights
at all. And one time, you know, when you were
a kid, the darkness spoke you. I mean, I don't
know if you were like that, but I was like that,
man. But one time, that went off, and you really,
you cannot see it, not even your fingers. It
was so dark. That's when I really experienced
the dark for myself. And I say, I don't want
to be in darkness anymore. I need the light.
So when they bring the light, it's so much different.
Thank God for the moon, thank God for the sun.
Because if you go outside, you see the stars,
you get light from the Lord. They still give
you light. Amen. Let it be. I will leave. I believe
God's Word daily. Autopilot is an excellent feature
in the cars, right? I mean, how many love autopilots
in the car? You know, I don't because I'm afraid
of those things. But it's a lot of Christians.
It's a lot of Christians, I'm speaking from my
heart. It's a lot of Christians, they are living
spiritual and autopilot. Because if somebody
raised a hand, they raise a hand too. You know
what I mean? Raise a hand, they just follow.
I mean, and so they are in the autopilot mode,
spiritual. They don't put their faith initiative
way, you know, to really put God to put the word
with faith. Amen? When you open the word of God,
it's by faith. It says, is everything being done
by faith? Amen? So when I, when somebody is leaving
an autopilot, it's not good. It's not good at
all. Let's take the automatic pilot out of our
faith. Let's take him out. Let's have initiative
in doing things when it has to be done. Amen.
Hallelujah. It's our favor. We must be ready
whatever is happening around us. Our Lord Jesus
promised we will have problems in this world.
When we focus our mind, our heart, our soul,
our faith, and the Word of God, who cares what's
happening? Who cares what's happening in this
world, especially right now? We will be ready
in faith, amen? Hallelujah, Jesus. I thank you.
I'm about to be done. The musicians can come.
I have two more scriptures. John 1633, these
things I have spoken to you. What is, that it
me, you may have peace in the world, you will
have tribulations, but be a good cheer, I have
overcome the world. Psalms 11911 says, your word
I have hidden. in my heart, that I might not
sin against you. Amen. Shall we stand? Church,
these lessons here, you might, you might didn't
understand much what I read. I don't want to
put a doubt in my mind and my heart. But I tell
you a spiritual spirit, I tell you a spirit is
God is watching your steps. When you open his
word, he's shining, you walk away. If you believe
in those things, open his word more often. Do
it every day. Have a daily devotion. Have a moment
with God. Take him as it is. I don't know how
to put it for you, but whatever is the most important
thing for you in the day, take that first. Open
his word first. Pray every day. Have that moment
with him. Like I say to my kids, have at least
five minutes with him. For him, those five minutes
is very valuable because you are his. Amen, you
put your heart and your mind in that moment for
him. When you open his word, it's something valuable
because that's the way he's gonna speak to you.
Amen. He speak through his word. More you open
it, more you're gonna hear about him. But more
you pray, same thing. You're gonna hear his voice.
If you allow him to speak, because so many times
we are chatterbox. We speak too much. I give
you this, I ask you this, I need this, I need
that. You don't let God to speak. Give him a
chance to correct you. Give him a chance to be
you God. to be your Father, to be your Creator
in every way, acknowledge Him. Let Him know who
is Him. Let Him know who is your Creator. Amen?
Because from the beginning that was Him. His
Word and that's Him. Jesus Christ. mention his
name in every moment in every circumstances,
whatever you're going through right now. Whatever
it is, whatever it is you're feeling, whatever
is in your heart right now, you might come from
work right now and you come full of stuff in
your head. Full of stuff in your heart that somebody
might be in your family hurt you. Maybe you have
a chaos in your house right now and you don't
even know how to do it, how to fix it. But if
you open yourself to the Lord, He will respond
to you through His word, through your prayer,
because you have to pray. It's not just reading
the book. Oh, I read the Bible whole year. That's
it, I'm done. No, you're not done. If you don't
talk to Him, you're not done. I'm sorry, you're
not done. Because if you ask me how many times
in the year I read the Bible, Once. And I'm being
honest to you. I will not lie to you. This is
not about how many times you read it and how
you really take it. How serious you really take
his word. Amen. Because if you take him very
serious about paying your bills, about your personal
life, why you don't take it serious that God
will provide for everything for you. Amen. why
you don't take it seriously, the one who give
you what you have today. The knowledge and understanding
what you have today. Don't think you're born
with that. He give it to you. And the one of
your mother. Man, my God, whatever I have today,
he give it to me. I'm nothing without him. Man,
I call this computer. If you trust in that computer,
that brain, that thing, this thing here, if you
trust in this, I'm sorry. This thing. It's a
lot of brain of us. A man is a man who put this
together, but he took all your knowledge and
God give the knowledge to that man. I'm talking
to you in spirit. God put this in my heart because
we focus so much in this. And I go against these
all the time. Believe me. I'm writing this. I
have a notebook. I don't care if you have a notebook.
I'm not against technology. I'm not. Believe
me, I'm not. I'm not talking about against technology
right now. I'm talking to you. How are you gonna
use that technology? Because that technology
can be used for our own things too. Amen? You
can do a lot of things in that technology. But
if you use it for the good, believe me, it's
gonna be perfect. It's gonna be perfect. Use
it for the kingdom. Use it for the Lord. Whatever
you know to and everything, I'm not that good
in technology. That's one reason I keep in notes.
Men, and be honest to you, I'm not that good.
I always have to bother my kids to help me. But
it's okay. Thank God. Give me smart kids. They
can do it. Man, I'm going to read you one more
scripture. And I want to invite you to the front
with this scripture. I closed my book. Who am
I? And I want you to come with this. This is
the word of God. This is Jesus speaking. Matthew
11, 28. Come unto me, O ye, thy labor, in our
heavy land, and I will give you rest. I invite
you to the front with thy trust in you creator,
trust in his word. He is speaking to your heart
at this moment. Amen. Shall we pray? Lord Jesus,
we come unto you, my God. For who you are, my
Lord. You are good. You are great. I thank you
for your goodness, my God. I thank you for this
word while you give us today, my Lord Jesus.
For this lesson, oh Lord, about your word. How
might that be reading the way it's supposed to
be? By my God, I pray, at least one word can
be stole in every heart. And never mind, my Lord
Jesus, because I am your vessel. You fill me
with your holy ghost, my Lord God. And I speak
whatever you put in my heart, whatever you put
in my soul, my Lord Jesus. I pray, my Lord God,
for each individual, my Lord Jesus. For family
members, my Lord God, I pray right now, my Lord
Jesus. Open the heart, open the mind, my Lord
Jesus, understanding my Lord, your word, my God.
Your word. My Lord Jesus, right now, let it be
according to your will, my Lord God. We might
go through things right now in our life, my Lord
Jesus, but I pray, my Lord God, help us, my Lord
Jesus, to understand your word, my God.
