WEBVTT 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.260 morning I have a wonderful privilege of introducing 00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:24.019 to some newfound friends from the city of Arasatuba, 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.420 Brazil. They are great people. They speak Portuguese. 00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:32.619 How many remember Kellner and Luciani that came 00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:35.240 and prophesied with us? Well, this is Kellner's 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.640 pastor who he relates to, Pastor Samuel Sosa. 00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.759 Would you just welcome Pastor Samuel and his 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.619 son Lucas as they come today? Come on, give them 00:00:45.619 --> 00:00:48.380 a Life Bible welcome. We welcome you in the name 00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:51.780 of the Lord. God bless you. It's going to be 00:00:51.780 --> 00:01:04.959 a great day in the house of the Lord. Good morning. 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.719 I don't like to speak English, but I speak Portuguese. 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:18.640 My English is bad. I'm very happy to be here 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:25.840 with you this morning. It's such a pleasure to 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.599 be here with Pastor Brad and Pastor Jenny. They 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.540 blessed so much our church in Brazil. And more 00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:41.459 than we miss him, they left some marks in our 00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:51.359 church. Our church was marked by the Lord. And 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.319 I want to thank you that you guys allowed your 00:01:53.319 --> 00:02:05.819 pastor to be with us. And we are so welcome here. 00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:14.280 I'm very glad because when my son Lucas lived 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.000 here in the state of Oregon, he had a family 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:25.750 here. And Mark's family is Muckers. And I'm very 00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:32.810 glad to be here in their city today. Yeah, Lucas, 00:02:33.009 --> 00:02:47.289 he's been to India with them. Yeah. So I came 00:02:47.289 --> 00:02:50.069 here once and that was so fun because I got to 00:02:50.069 --> 00:02:59.969 shoot when I came here. And the first shot I 00:02:59.969 --> 00:03:05.949 gave, I could break the clay pigeon. It was only 00:03:05.949 --> 00:03:10.090 for the first one. Because I missed all the other 00:03:10.090 --> 00:03:20.250 ones. So before I start my message, I just wanted 00:03:20.250 --> 00:03:27.930 to show you a short video about my church. As 00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:32.270 portas da casa estão abertas. Você pode entrar 00:03:32.270 --> 00:03:37.289 e encontrar o seu lugar. Como em uma grande casa 00:03:37.289 --> 00:03:41.469 em que vive uma grande família. Os netos, os 00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:46.849 pais, os filhos, os mais velhos, os recém -nascidos, 00:03:47.009 --> 00:03:51.610 as esposas, os homens, as crianças. Nessa grande 00:03:51.610 --> 00:03:55.349 casa, os filhos se ligam uns aos outros e se 00:03:55.349 --> 00:03:59.740 encontram com seu pai. They talk to him and listen 00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:02.740 to him. And when the doors of the house are open, 00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:07.039 what is inside comes out and invades the world. 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:19.740 And the house expands, multiplies and influences. 00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:25.300 The doors of the house are open, open to those 00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:28.290 who want to be received. Open to those who want 00:04:28.290 --> 00:04:32.449 to be taught and empowered. Open to those who 00:04:32.449 --> 00:04:35.769 want to be transformed. Open to those who want 00:04:35.769 --> 00:04:41.769 to be sent. The doors of the house are open because 00:04:41.769 --> 00:04:48.310 the Father is with open arms. And throughout 00:04:48.310 --> 00:04:52.149 this land, the doors of many irrelevant houses 00:04:52.149 --> 00:04:55.759 are open. leading those who pass through them 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.120 to a kingdom of life in abundance. Through the 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.740 Gospel, Brazil has been visited, blessed and 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:05.839 has known the purpose that is reserved for it 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.180 in the heavens. To see the Kingdom of Christ 00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:12.279 Jesus expanding inside and outside its borders. 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:33.360 I'd like for a moment that you guys help me praying 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.240 about our country. Next Sunday we have our elections. 00:05:43.610 --> 00:05:46.170 And Brazil as a country is going through such 00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:51.629 a special moment. Actually there is a battle 00:05:51.629 --> 00:05:54.269 between light and darkness. And Brazil has a 00:05:54.269 --> 00:06:01.649 promise from God. And that will send missionaries 00:06:01.649 --> 00:06:07.110 to all the nations. And we believe that we will 00:06:07.110 --> 00:06:11.449 not lack any resources. But there is a battle 00:06:11.449 --> 00:06:18.850 this moment. We had a candidate that he's... 00:06:19.370 --> 00:06:22.689 He's actually following the word of God. He's 00:06:22.689 --> 00:06:31.410 fighting for the values of the presence of God 00:06:31.410 --> 00:06:34.189 being introduced to our nation, being put into 00:06:34.189 --> 00:06:40.769 our nation. Because in Brazil, in schools, children 00:06:40.769 --> 00:06:43.970 of four years old have been taught by teachers 00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:50.319 who have an ideology. some thoughts, some thinking. 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.199 And teachers are saying to children, for your 00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.560 old children, you don't need to be a boy. You 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:05.660 don't need to be a girl. If you are a boy, you 00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:08.560 can use skirt, you can paint your nails. If you 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:17.639 are a girl, you can have all the boy stuff. And 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:24.009 this is four -year -old children. They are having 00:07:24.009 --> 00:07:36.949 material for school. Books are being used by 00:07:36.949 --> 00:07:38.930 teachers. They are trying to teach these children. 00:07:41.709 --> 00:07:44.769 They are raising up a generation against the 00:07:44.769 --> 00:07:49.500 values of the word of God. But we believe that 00:07:49.500 --> 00:08:01.180 this spirit is going to fall. There's another 00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:03.379 thing that is destroying our country right now, 00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:09.000 it's corruption. Just so you know, last week 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.279 here in the United States, one of the Brazilian 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.680 companies made an agreement, a law agreement. 00:08:23.320 --> 00:08:27.199 And they are going to give back $4 .2 billion. 00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:37.039 And the United States government required $3 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.259 .2 billion to the Brazilian government. This 00:08:43.259 --> 00:08:49.090 money is out of corruption. It's only one company. 00:08:51.029 --> 00:08:57.899 And we believe that's going to fall too. And 00:08:57.899 --> 00:09:01.779 God is raising up a man that he's following the 00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:06.139 values of God. A man that he's fighting for the 00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:13.980 family. A man that is saying that he doesn't 00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:16.000 want all these things because there is something 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:24.399 behind these things. That school needs to teach 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.539 us. school things and the family needs to teach 00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:37.620 values. Parents need to teach their kids. This 00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:42.320 man, he was raising up and then three weeks ago 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:50.879 he got stabbed. And he almost died. And he's 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.340 fighting for his life. And at this moment we 00:09:55.340 --> 00:10:01.340 have two people. One that defends all this corruption. 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:06.120 And another one that is defending the values 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:10.580 of the word of God. And the church of the Lord 00:10:10.580 --> 00:10:18.549 is raising up in our country. And we are saying 00:10:18.549 --> 00:10:21.690 that immorality, violence and corruption is falling 00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:25.889 in our nation. And I would like you guys to pray 00:10:25.889 --> 00:10:29.169 with us. Just blessing our nation now. Because 00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:34.750 next Sunday is going to be a crucial moment for 00:10:34.750 --> 00:10:38.970 us. And we believe that God is going to bless 00:10:38.970 --> 00:10:45.070 Brazil. At this very moment, I just got some 00:10:45.070 --> 00:10:50.179 pictures. from our city more than 10 ,000 cars 00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:53.519 they are on streets that Christian people they 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:58.399 are praying so this spirit can fall and I would 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.820 like you guys to pray with us now could you stand 00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:08.220 up please could you guys pray for Brazil now 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.179 Heavenly Father, we come before you now. And 00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:22.860 Lord, you set people in office. It is you that 00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:26.340 lifts up. It is you that puts down. And Lord, 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.120 we're asking tonight, this afternoon, Lord, it's 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.399 four hours ahead in Brazil. This late afternoon, 00:11:33.539 --> 00:11:36.100 we're saying, we're agreeing with the nation 00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:38.340 and the prayers that are being lifted up from 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:41.960 every church, from every corner of that city. 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:46.259 Let the righteousness of God prevail in Jesus' 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.559 name. Let the right... of the king of heaven 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.480 begin to sweep out that which is deceptive, that 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.799 which is bathed in destruction and perversion. 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.240 Lord, we come against, Lord, every assignment 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.179 that would try to mark a younger generation. 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:09.679 And we say in Jesus' name, put down, Lord, the 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:14.200 enemy and raise up the king of kings. Put the 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:19.480 godly men and women in office. Word says, when 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.720 the righteous flourishes, the city flourishes. 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.399 And Lord, we're praying for the nation to flourish 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.340 under the banner of the Lord Jesus Christ and 00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:33.259 his kingdom. In Jesus' name, and everybody said, 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:47.640 amen. Thank you. Keep us in prayer, please. I'd 00:12:47.640 --> 00:12:56.419 like to show you my family. So we have our three 00:12:56.419 --> 00:13:03.940 grandchildren. Miguel is in my lap. And there's 00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:09.340 Eliseu and Raquel. That's my oldest daughter, 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.580 Larissa. That is beside my wife. Behind is Leticia, 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:21.519 my middle children. And that's Lucas. And these 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:26.840 are our three children. And we have a daughter 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.940 -in -law, a wonderful daughter -in -law. Livia. 00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:47.590 Livia. And I also need to show you two sons -in 00:13:47.590 --> 00:13:53.330 -law. If you have children, you know that. I 00:13:53.330 --> 00:14:01.789 pretend I like them. My problem is not the mother 00:14:01.789 --> 00:14:12.580 -in -law. It's two sons -in -law. No, I'm just 00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:15.840 kidding. There are pastors in our church. And 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:24.419 they're a man of God. I'd like you to open your 00:14:24.419 --> 00:14:28.600 Bible in Hebrews chapter 6. We're going to start 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:41.399 from verse 9. So Hebrews 6, starting on verse 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.919 9. Yes, I'm using NIV. So even though we speak 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.720 like this, dear friends, we are convinced of 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.419 better things in your case. The things that have 00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:58.279 to do with salvation. God is not unjust. He will 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:02.200 not forget your work and the love you have shown 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.399 him as you have helped his people and continue 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.879 to help them. We want each of you to show the 00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.100 same diligence to the very end, so that what 00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:15.419 you hope for may be fully realized. We do not 00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:18.600 want to become lazy, but to imitate those who 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.500 through faith and patience inherit what has been 00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:25.120 promised. When God made his promise to Abraham, 00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:27.759 since there was no one greater for him to swear 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.240 by, he swore by himself, saying, I will surely 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.460 bless you and give you many descendants. And 00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:37.299 so after waiting patiently, Abraham received 00:15:37.299 --> 00:15:40.860 what was promised. People swear by someone greater 00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:43.820 than themselves, and the oath confirms what is 00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:48.080 said and puts an end to all argument. So we're 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.000 going to read through 20. 17. Because God wanted 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.039 to make the unchanging nature of his purpose 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.500 very clear to the heirs of what was promised, 00:15:56.700 --> 00:16:02.230 he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so 00:16:02.230 --> 00:16:05.490 that by two unchangeable things in which it is 00:16:05.490 --> 00:16:08.509 promised for God to lie, impossible for God to 00:16:08.509 --> 00:16:12.409 lie, he would have fled to take hold of the hope 00:16:12.409 --> 00:16:16.110 set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have 00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:20.509 this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and 00:16:20.509 --> 00:16:23.470 secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind 00:16:23.470 --> 00:16:27.909 the curtain where our forerunner Jesus has entered 00:16:27.909 --> 00:16:30.730 on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever 00:16:30.730 --> 00:16:38.090 in the order of Melchizedek. I'd like to speak 00:16:38.090 --> 00:16:45.429 this morning about three simple things. But I'd 00:16:45.429 --> 00:16:48.190 like to say that faith and patience, they walk 00:16:48.190 --> 00:16:56.549 side by side. We need to understand that sometimes 00:16:56.549 --> 00:17:03.730 we have no patience to wait on God. Do you know 00:17:03.730 --> 00:17:10.150 someone that's very angry all the time? The person 00:17:10.150 --> 00:17:13.029 has no patience at all? Do you know someone like 00:17:13.029 --> 00:17:20.150 that? That when this person prays, you say, God, 00:17:20.269 --> 00:17:23.250 you need to do this right now because I have 00:17:23.250 --> 00:17:28.890 no patience to wait. This person wants everything 00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:32.750 for yesterday. Do you know someone like that? 00:17:34.230 --> 00:17:37.410 In Brazil, there's a lot of people like that. 00:17:40.399 --> 00:17:45.500 People they have no patience to wait. They just 00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:51.140 want everything so fast. But here the word of 00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:58.799 God says in verse 15. And so. After waiting patiently. 00:18:01.020 --> 00:18:10.700 Abraham received what was promised. Could we 00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:14.220 read all together? Could you put the verse? It's 00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:20.839 Hebrews 6, 15. So we can read all together? Or 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:25.839 you can repeat after me. Yeah. And so, after 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:31.160 waiting patiently, Abraham received what was 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:38.099 promised. Now instead of saying Abraham, you're 00:18:38.099 --> 00:18:40.759 going to say your name. So let's do it together. 00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:47.660 And so, after waiting patiently, received what 00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:53.640 was promised. I'd like to start with a question. 00:18:56.819 --> 00:18:59.779 Who here when you were a child you said I swear 00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:10.059 by God. Children in Brazil they say that. Here 00:19:10.059 --> 00:19:12.039 I don't know if you guys say I swear by God or 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:18.200 I just I swear I don't know. But Children in 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:24.279 Brazil, they say, I swear by God. And they say 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:26.799 like that when they want to actually affirm what 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:31.480 they're saying. Like, Mom, I'm saying it is true. 00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:41.529 I swear by God it's true. So they want to say 00:19:41.529 --> 00:19:45.470 that this is what they did. And here in verse 00:19:45.470 --> 00:19:52.710 16. He says a man swear by someone that is above 00:19:52.710 --> 00:19:57.769 themselves. Because the oath confirms what is 00:19:57.769 --> 00:20:03.890 said. To put an end to all argument. So when 00:20:03.890 --> 00:20:07.490 someone says I swear by God. They didn't want 00:20:07.490 --> 00:20:10.430 to talk anymore. They say, I'm saying the truth. 00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:17.750 But now imagine God looking to Abraham and saying, 00:20:17.869 --> 00:20:22.730 Abraham, I'm going to bless you. I'm going to 00:20:22.730 --> 00:20:26.950 bless your family. I'm going to give you a blessed 00:20:26.950 --> 00:20:31.549 offspring. And these are the promises of God 00:20:31.549 --> 00:20:37.630 to us. But look with me what the verse 13 says. 00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:48.519 That God's... Yeah, God, there was no one greater 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:55.440 for him to swear by. He swore by himself. So 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.240 God looked to Abraham and he said, I swear by 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:04.059 God. that I'm going to bless you I swear by God 00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:08.440 that I'm going to bless your family I swear by 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:13.000 God that I'm going to bless your offspring and 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:17.299 I think about this God So great, so wonderful. 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:24.299 With so great mercy. That he gave his son to 00:21:24.299 --> 00:21:29.480 us. That he didn't need to swear. He is God. 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:34.160 But because he loves men, he cares about men. 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.920 He looks to a man and says. I swear by myself. 00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:44.619 That I'm going to bless your life. bless your 00:21:44.619 --> 00:21:47.940 family that I'm going to give you a descendant 00:21:47.940 --> 00:21:54.619 I'm going to be with you I'm going to be with 00:21:54.619 --> 00:21:56.940 you every day and you're going to taste my favor 00:21:56.940 --> 00:22:02.920 because Abraham was in the beginning of his relationship 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:07.859 with God and I believe that this is our victory 00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:15.740 as a church We are not based. In a human doctrine. 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:21.980 In a philosophy of a guru. But we are under. 00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:27.279 We are formed. In the word of God. Of a God. 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:31.819 That he never fails. He has character. He loves 00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:37.779 man. He gave his son to man. He is the same yesterday, 00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:43.680 today and forever. So I'd like to bring to you 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.619 guys three principles. Because I believe God 00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:51.640 has promises to your life. And God has promises 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.700 to this house. God has wonderful things to do 00:22:56.700 --> 00:23:03.619 among you guys. And while we were praying. I 00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:06.140 saw the atmosphere of the Holy Spirit here in 00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:11.420 this place. convince Pastor Brad and Pastor Jenny 00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:17.579 that people from a lot of places, people from 00:23:17.579 --> 00:23:20.980 other nations, they will come to Harrisburg to 00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:26.920 see what God is doing among you guys. God is 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:28.799 raising up a church, a strong church in this 00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:33.680 place. God is raising up a people that they are 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:39.690 referenced. I'm going to repeat. that God is 00:23:39.690 --> 00:23:41.990 raising up a people they are a reference to the 00:23:41.990 --> 00:23:45.430 others don't look to the size of the city don't 00:23:45.430 --> 00:23:51.009 look to yourself look to God that is on this 00:23:51.009 --> 00:23:58.170 church and he's saying I swear by myself that 00:23:58.170 --> 00:24:02.150 I'm going to do of this church a great house 00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:06.130 a light that is going to shine from this place 00:24:06.130 --> 00:24:09.849 it's going to reach so many regions of this nation 00:24:09.849 --> 00:24:13.730 and people will come to this place to see the 00:24:13.730 --> 00:24:18.910 light that is shining in this place I have promises 00:24:18.910 --> 00:24:24.230 upon this house says the Lord but this same God 00:24:24.230 --> 00:24:29.710 he has promises to your life this morning who 00:24:29.710 --> 00:24:31.630 believe that he has promises to your life this 00:24:31.630 --> 00:24:36.970 morning who here has promises they are not fulfilled 00:24:36.970 --> 00:24:44.500 yet That's why faith and patience. They walk 00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:48.400 side by side. That's what this text says. And 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.140 the first thing I want to say to you. The first 00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:59.619 principle. It's that God is unchangeable. God 00:24:59.619 --> 00:25:02.259 is unchangeable. Repeat after me. God is unchangeable. 00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:10.200 Men changes. As pessoas mudam. People change. 00:25:11.339 --> 00:25:14.599 Mas Deus não muda. But God is unchangeable. Você 00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.140 conhece alguém que mudou? Depois que ficou rico? 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.460 Do you know someone that changed after they became 00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:26.160 rich? Depois que ficou pobre? After they became 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:32.000 poor? Depois que virou chefe? After they became 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:41.970 a boss? After he had an office in church. Became 00:25:41.970 --> 00:25:52.210 a leader. And put in the linear leader. Man changes. 00:25:53.609 --> 00:25:57.789 Depending on the circumstances. But the biggest 00:25:57.789 --> 00:26:04.299 problem. Is that we think that we deal with a 00:26:04.299 --> 00:26:09.400 God like this. That he reacts like man reacts. 00:26:11.609 --> 00:26:15.170 that he thinks like man thinks that he changes 00:26:15.170 --> 00:26:19.869 like man changes but if it were like this we 00:26:19.869 --> 00:26:26.410 were lost how many people you know they became 00:26:26.410 --> 00:26:30.630 cold in their faith they leave the house of God 00:26:30.630 --> 00:26:36.200 they just leave the office they have in church. 00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:40.640 And when you ask them, what is happening? They 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.759 say, oh, God is not the same with me anymore. 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:52.259 He thinks that he changes. So many people look 00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:58.960 to God and think he changes like we change. When 00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:00.859 they don't see that things they're expecting 00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:06.309 for are not happening, In their minds, they became 00:27:06.309 --> 00:27:13.170 to not be satisfied. And the thoughts come thinking 00:27:13.170 --> 00:27:17.230 that God has changed. And the heart becomes to 00:27:17.230 --> 00:27:23.269 grow cold. And the first conviction I want to 00:27:23.269 --> 00:27:25.069 bring to your heart this morning is that God 00:27:25.069 --> 00:27:31.089 is unchangeable. Malachi 3, 6. He says, I am 00:27:31.089 --> 00:27:36.980 God. night don't change. It is true. Society 00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:43.240 changes. Everything is changing so fast this 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:48.640 time. Times are different now. People are not, 00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:51.380 they are not, they don't hold strong to anything 00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:57.200 anymore. But the Bible says it can come the time 00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:06.440 and the and it can come time and then And God 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:11.380 says that everything can pass. But my word do 00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:24.009 not pass. Just change the verse here. I'm sure 00:28:24.009 --> 00:28:28.009 about something this morning. God has not changed 00:28:28.009 --> 00:28:33.769 with you. Even though you can't see a promise 00:28:33.769 --> 00:28:38.089 happening in your life right now. God is still 00:28:38.089 --> 00:28:42.490 the same. He doesn't change because you're struggling 00:28:42.490 --> 00:28:47.329 with something. He doesn't even change when you 00:28:47.329 --> 00:28:55.269 sin. Is this still a loving God, a merciful God, 00:28:55.390 --> 00:28:59.589 and a faithful God? He's a God that loves you 00:28:59.589 --> 00:29:03.670 and He calls you a son. He doesn't change when 00:29:03.670 --> 00:29:11.490 we change. 2 Timothy 2, verse 13 says, even though 00:29:11.490 --> 00:29:16.220 we are not faithful he remains faithful because 00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:23.480 he cannot deny himself and his promises they 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:29.759 are not void about us and that's why you cannot 00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:35.180 accept lies in our mind because man is man and 00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:40.930 God is God man changes But God doesn't change. 00:29:42.730 --> 00:29:48.089 We are under some promises. These promises will 00:29:48.089 --> 00:29:53.269 never change. So first principle is God doesn't 00:29:53.269 --> 00:29:55.670 change. God is unchangeable. Second principle, 00:29:55.849 --> 00:30:04.769 God doesn't lie. It seems obvious. But it's something 00:30:04.769 --> 00:30:08.599 true that we need to bring to ourselves. God 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:14.099 doesn't change. God doesn't lie. Can you repeat 00:30:14.099 --> 00:30:17.339 after me? God doesn't change. God doesn't lie. 00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:32.640 Verse 16, Hebrews chapter 6. Verse 18 of Hebrews 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:41.140 6. It says, God did this so that by two unchangeable 00:30:41.140 --> 00:30:47.119 things, that he doesn't change, that he doesn't 00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:52.980 lie. The text says it is impossible for God to 00:30:52.980 --> 00:31:02.099 lie. Two things are unchangeable. What he said 00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:08.180 is going to come forth. The word that comes out 00:31:08.180 --> 00:31:14.279 of his mouth doesn't come back empty. And that's 00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:16.519 why I believe that God has promises to this house. 00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:21.579 That doesn't matter what happens. These things 00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:24.799 are going to happen, come to pass. God has promises 00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:30.500 to your life. And since he doesn't lie. And since 00:31:30.500 --> 00:31:36.119 he doesn't change. I'm sure. These things are 00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:42.140 come to pass. John 4, verse 6, he says, I am 00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:47.900 the way, I am the truth, and I am the life. James 00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:54.859 1, verse 17, says that in him, there is no doubt, 00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.359 and things doesn't change we are secure John 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:06.200 8 32 so you will know the truth and the truth 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:12.660 will set you free God doesn't change and God 00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:14.980 doesn't lie this is the spiritual truth for the 00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:19.160 church a church that doesn't live by appearance 00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:25.529 they don't live by Being deceived. They don't 00:32:25.529 --> 00:32:30.450 live pretending things. But they live by a true 00:32:30.450 --> 00:32:34.190 relationship. With that one that searches the 00:32:34.190 --> 00:32:39.750 heart. A people that know. That if they go to 00:32:39.750 --> 00:32:44.490 the highest heaven. God's gonna be there. But 00:32:44.490 --> 00:32:48.349 if they go to the deepest place. God's gonna 00:32:48.349 --> 00:32:54.200 be there too. A people that know that God knows 00:32:54.200 --> 00:33:00.039 our substance. Before even we were formed. That's 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:06.079 what Psalms 139 says. And that's why you need 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.900 to be true in our relationship with our God. 00:33:10.180 --> 00:33:15.400 When you come before him sincerely. And I said, 00:33:15.420 --> 00:33:19.059 God, I need to be set free. I need a change. 00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.799 I just want to get rid of this addiction. This 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:29.920 attitude. This resistance. This sin. He will 00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:33.319 always come to your favor. Because he is the 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:37.960 God of the truth. And he loves the truth and 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:42.920 sincerity of your heart. I was seeing my daughter 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:47.859 -in -law here. And her uncle was someone that 00:33:47.859 --> 00:33:50.059 was. You know that person that gives you a lot. 00:33:50.089 --> 00:33:56.170 For so long, he didn't change at all. He was 00:33:56.170 --> 00:34:02.289 resisting everything. And I remember that someday 00:34:02.289 --> 00:34:07.509 he told, I'm not smoking anymore. And then I 00:34:07.509 --> 00:34:09.889 was driving by and then I saw him in his car. 00:34:10.630 --> 00:34:15.150 And he was smoking. And I was getting close to 00:34:15.150 --> 00:34:19.619 him. And since he didn't want to show me that 00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:26.179 he was smoking, he threw the cigarette. And then 00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:32.320 he tried to put it out. But the smoke came. And 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:39.159 it was in the car, the floor in the car. And 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.480 I said, you can just put it out because I saw 00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:49.369 you smoking. But someday this man had an encounter 00:34:49.369 --> 00:34:53.570 with God. And that moment he opened his heart. 00:34:53.750 --> 00:34:58.769 And he said, God, I've been resisting your word. 00:35:00.349 --> 00:35:07.050 I have been not being sincere. I've been lying 00:35:07.050 --> 00:35:11.969 to my wife, to my church. But I need your mercy. 00:35:12.829 --> 00:35:19.250 Change my heart. And in that moment, a man that 00:35:19.250 --> 00:35:23.530 used to smoke four packs a day, he was an alcoholic. 00:35:25.580 --> 00:35:31.039 from like out of a sudden he was completely changed 00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:36.059 and today he's actually a great leader in our 00:35:36.059 --> 00:35:41.420 church because God loves the truth God doesn't 00:35:41.420 --> 00:35:45.599 change God doesn't lie but the third principle 00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:52.039 is I have an anchor it's a conviction in my heart 00:35:54.030 --> 00:36:01.809 Verse 18, Hebrews chapter 6. So that by two unchangeable 00:36:01.809 --> 00:36:06.909 things in which it is impossible for God to lie 00:36:06.909 --> 00:36:14.429 we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered 00:36:14.429 --> 00:36:20.630 to us may be greatly encouraged. Yeah, so To 00:36:20.630 --> 00:36:26.869 take hold of the hope offered to us. Verse 19. 00:36:27.730 --> 00:36:32.110 We have this hope as an anchor to the soul. Firm 00:36:32.110 --> 00:36:37.210 and secure. It enters in the sanctuary. Behind 00:36:37.210 --> 00:36:41.550 the curtains. An anchor that is in the hole of 00:36:41.550 --> 00:36:46.590 holiness. An anchor that is in the presence of 00:36:46.590 --> 00:36:53.480 God. In our church, in our city, in the region 00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:58.539 over there, there's a lot of fishermen, and then 00:36:58.539 --> 00:37:02.420 I know Mark likes to fish a lot. And who goes 00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:06.500 fishing a lot knows that if the water is still, 00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:11.840 if there is no streams, if everything is still, 00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:17.949 you don't need an anchor. The anchor is necessary. 00:37:19.409 --> 00:37:24.269 That the boat doesn't move away. So that the 00:37:24.269 --> 00:37:27.469 stream doesn't take the boat away. And I keep 00:37:27.469 --> 00:37:32.530 thinking. How many people they are in church. 00:37:32.789 --> 00:37:38.889 But in their minds. They are struggling. They 00:37:38.889 --> 00:37:44.909 are questioning. They are unstable. They are 00:37:44.909 --> 00:37:48.670 living a lot of circumstances. Because they have 00:37:48.670 --> 00:37:51.190 no anchor in their mind. Because they do not 00:37:51.190 --> 00:37:58.909 trust completely in the promises of God. Because 00:37:58.909 --> 00:38:01.550 they have no patience to wait in what God's doing. 00:38:03.530 --> 00:38:10.389 And now I keep thinking about Abraham. God looked 00:38:10.389 --> 00:38:16.210 at him in Genesis 14. And said Abraham I swear 00:38:16.210 --> 00:38:19.650 I'm going to bless you. I swear I'm going to 00:38:19.650 --> 00:38:25.269 bless your family. I swear I'm going to do your 00:38:25.269 --> 00:38:29.190 family a blessed family. Your children will be 00:38:29.190 --> 00:38:33.780 blessed. But for your son to be born. 24 years 00:38:33.780 --> 00:38:43.840 passed. 24 years in a mind that is anchored in 00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:49.599 one word. 24 years waiting for something that 00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:56.099 he could not see. Imagine a man at 75. 75 years 00:38:56.099 --> 00:39:02.769 old. 80 years old. 85 years old. Having lunch 00:39:02.769 --> 00:39:08.710 with the family. Gathered for Christmas. Hey, 00:39:08.730 --> 00:39:16.389 Abraham. What are you waiting for? A son. And 00:39:16.389 --> 00:39:30.769 people. This old man is just crazy. He needs 00:39:30.769 --> 00:39:40.880 some pills. 90 years old. And family, what up, 00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:47.940 Abraham? I'm waiting, I'm waiting. Waiting for 00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:59.119 what? A son? And then Sarah looks at him. I know 00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:09.920 this old man. He sleeps like an angel. It's impossible. 00:40:10.340 --> 00:40:16.500 But Abraham. He had his anchor. In the promise. 00:40:17.260 --> 00:40:23.380 God doesn't lie. God doesn't change. And they 00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:27.039 know that God has promises to people here. A 00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.260 lot of times you were looking. You were saying, 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.739 God, I cannot see that happening. So many times 00:40:34.739 --> 00:40:38.699 things start to happen. And the enemy looks to 00:40:38.699 --> 00:40:43.000 you and says, where is your promise? Look to 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:47.619 your marriage. Look to your children. Look the 00:40:47.619 --> 00:40:50.739 problems you are facing right now. This time, 00:40:50.739 --> 00:40:55.260 you have to raise up your anchor and say, enemy, 00:40:55.460 --> 00:41:01.380 I have an anchor. Me and my house, we will serve 00:41:01.380 --> 00:41:05.639 the Lord. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:10.119 you and your house are going to be saved. So 00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.219 many times the enemy says, look to your health. 00:41:13.619 --> 00:41:15.360 Look to the illness you're facing right now. 00:41:17.139 --> 00:41:19.400 Look the size of the giants over you right now. 00:41:20.190 --> 00:41:23.849 And you raise up your voice and say, I have an 00:41:23.849 --> 00:41:30.710 anchor. The Lord is the one that heals all the 00:41:30.710 --> 00:41:36.190 sickness. I believe in him. I trust in his promises. 00:41:36.409 --> 00:41:42.070 And he's going to bless me. Brazil as a country 00:41:42.070 --> 00:41:46.449 is going through such difficulties. And the enemy 00:41:46.449 --> 00:41:51.440 is raising up his voice. And the enemy is saying, 00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:55.840 look to your finances. You cannot bear this moment. 00:41:56.719 --> 00:42:01.440 You're going to go bankrupt. But there's a voice 00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:05.500 coming from the church. We have an anchor. Our 00:42:05.500 --> 00:42:13.099 God. Because his richness and glory. He will. 00:42:14.349 --> 00:42:19.130 To provide. Every single one of your needs. In 00:42:19.130 --> 00:42:25.559 Christ the Lord. When I say. That God doesn't 00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:30.840 lie. That God doesn't change. I go through the 00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:37.039 veil. I go to the place of his presence. I stay 00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.539 in the place of the presence of God. And nothing 00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:44.840 can take me out of there. No streams. No water 00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:49.980 that comes against. Even though they try to take 00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:55.599 out my boat. My boat will remain anchored. Still. 00:42:56.420 --> 00:43:01.659 Firmed. In the promises. Of a God that doesn't 00:43:01.659 --> 00:43:04.960 change. Of a God that doesn't lie. Of a God that 00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:11.619 has promises to my life. Of a God that swore 00:43:11.619 --> 00:43:16.019 by himself. And he said I'm going to bless you. 00:43:17.139 --> 00:43:20.400 I'm going to bless your family. I'm going to 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.670 bless your house. I'm going to bless your emotions 00:43:23.670 --> 00:43:27.469 and nothing is going to take me out of this place 00:43:27.469 --> 00:43:32.210 of the presence of God I'd like you to raise 00:43:32.210 --> 00:43:36.949 up your hand because the word of God is this 00:43:36.949 --> 00:43:50.860 this morning and so after waiting patiently Kristen 00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:54.920 had what she was waiting for. All the promises. 00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:06.940 And so. After waiting patiently. Tanya. Reached 00:44:06.940 --> 00:44:12.079 what was promised. God has promises. To your 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:22.480 life. To your life. To your life. To your life. 00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:29.559 God has promises to every single one of you here. 00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:36.199 And because I know these promises are for my 00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:43.280 life and to your life. Galatians 3. Says that 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:50.420 God broke all the curses. He broke all the curses 00:44:50.420 --> 00:44:57.519 when he gave his life for us on the cross. But 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:05.360 they say more. Galatians says more. That he has 00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:12.280 done all this so the blessings of Abraham would 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:16.639 reach us. Do you know what that means? That the 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:23.050 same God that says I swear by God That I'm going 00:45:23.050 --> 00:45:27.829 to bless you. I swear by God Abraham I'm going 00:45:27.829 --> 00:45:32.329 to bless your family. I swear by God Abraham 00:45:32.329 --> 00:45:35.349 I'm going to bless your children. It's the same 00:45:35.349 --> 00:45:38.150 God that doesn't change. It's the same God that 00:45:38.150 --> 00:45:42.769 doesn't lie. And he's the God that says to you 00:45:42.769 --> 00:45:48.369 this morning. My promises to your life. They're 00:45:48.369 --> 00:45:52.340 going to come to pass. But it's not easy to have 00:45:52.340 --> 00:46:01.179 patience. You can just put your hand down. I 00:46:01.179 --> 00:46:03.880 just want to finish telling you about a testimony 00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:08.639 from our church. We have a couple, they are so 00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:14.320 precious. They are leaders in our church. And 00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:21.389 they had a daughter. And then she got pregnant 00:46:21.389 --> 00:46:29.949 again. And they were very happy. And one day 00:46:29.949 --> 00:46:38.070 they were just to do the routine exams. And then 00:46:38.070 --> 00:46:47.579 the doctor said, these children This child has 00:46:47.579 --> 00:46:53.400 the brain, it's all water, no brain. It's hydrocephalitis, 00:46:53.739 --> 00:47:02.599 yeah. Thank you. And the doctor said, since the 00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:08.719 diagnosis was so early, this child is not going 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:14.309 to make it through. Because the brain is so taken 00:47:14.309 --> 00:47:19.949 by all the liquids. It is like this child has 00:47:19.949 --> 00:47:25.510 no brain. And they said to the parents. Don't 00:47:25.510 --> 00:47:29.030 even suffer. Because he's not feeling anything. 00:47:30.250 --> 00:47:34.429 The child is not going to make it. And they went 00:47:34.429 --> 00:47:39.840 to church. They present the cause. We prayed 00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:43.980 for them. And then we asked for them to go and 00:47:43.980 --> 00:47:48.679 do all the exams again. But every time they went 00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:54.840 there the doctor said the same thing. One of 00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:58.679 the last things the doctor said What do you want 00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:05.719 me to do? I think you don't understand that this 00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:09.739 brain is not going to develop. When you come 00:48:09.739 --> 00:48:14.139 to me, you think that something has changed? 00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:27.550 That it's going to be normal? And then one week 00:48:27.550 --> 00:48:32.489 before. One week before the baby was born. They 00:48:32.489 --> 00:48:35.389 made a tomography. Is that a word? No? Yeah? 00:48:36.889 --> 00:48:42.750 And I want to show the first picture. And if 00:48:42.750 --> 00:48:47.250 you can see there. All the dark part over there. 00:48:48.070 --> 00:48:52.429 It's liquid. The child actually didn't have a 00:48:52.429 --> 00:49:00.989 brain. And in that moment, the doctor asked the 00:49:00.989 --> 00:49:05.969 mom, how old is your daughter? And she said, 00:49:06.090 --> 00:49:09.949 three years old. And he said, oh, that's a good 00:49:09.949 --> 00:49:13.710 thing. Because she's not even going to remember 00:49:13.710 --> 00:49:18.809 this moment of pain. And I just want to say to 00:49:18.809 --> 00:49:23.699 you guys one thing. Just look for all the... 00:49:23.699 --> 00:49:28.000 How are you going to bury your children, your 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:31.980 child? Because in Brazil it's very, very expensive. 00:49:34.820 --> 00:49:38.639 So you guys don't be under an emotional moment. 00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:43.940 Just go and provide everything for his funeral. 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:51.559 And that moment the wife said, Doctor, you are 00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:59.320 not right. My daughter. She will play with her 00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:08.860 brother. And the doctor left. She left that place. 00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:15.659 And she went to buy like the. So the baby would 00:50:15.659 --> 00:50:17.579 come out of the hospital. And at that moment 00:50:17.579 --> 00:50:23.039 they came to us. And they said to us. Pastor 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:28.400 we have promises of God upon our life. We believe 00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:34.400 in God. But we don't serve God because of what 00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:38.460 he does. But we serve him because of what he 00:50:38.460 --> 00:50:44.239 is. And I told them, since you guys are going 00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:50.719 through such a hard moment, if you want to step 00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:53.460 down a little bit for your leadership, it's okay, 00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:57.659 we understand that. And then you can come back. 00:50:58.090 --> 00:51:02.829 And they said no. We don't want to abandon anything 00:51:02.829 --> 00:51:06.670 in the house of God. God has done so much in 00:51:06.670 --> 00:51:10.449 our lives. We believe we know what he can do. 00:51:11.530 --> 00:51:16.570 But if he doesn't do anything. We still going 00:51:16.570 --> 00:51:20.050 to keep serving God. With the same passion. With 00:51:20.050 --> 00:51:26.769 the same involvement. We have a project every 00:51:26.769 --> 00:51:31.909 year. Then we go to the poorest region in Brazil. 00:51:31.949 --> 00:51:33.590 It's the northeast of Brazil. Yeah, and Lucas 00:51:33.590 --> 00:51:40.489 leads all this work. Where you go and we dig 00:51:40.489 --> 00:51:49.440 a well in places that are very, very dry. And 00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.719 we sent trucks of toys and clothes and food. 00:51:55.280 --> 00:52:02.440 And the toys are like really good. Because we 00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:04.420 asked the church to give the same toys they would 00:52:04.420 --> 00:52:06.599 give to their children to give to the people 00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:14.840 there. And they're like new toys. And we are 00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:20.880 going through that season. The best things. Clothes, 00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:24.019 toys and everything. Was made by that woman. 00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:28.579 For that couple. And for their small group. And 00:52:28.579 --> 00:52:33.480 they kept believing. And this was one week before 00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:38.159 the baby was born. And the doctor said. If he 00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:45.659 is born. He will be born dead. And then the moment 00:52:45.659 --> 00:52:53.639 came. Nine months waiting for it. And he was 00:52:53.639 --> 00:53:11.880 born. He had nothing. But suddenly the doctor 00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.719 said, no, the daughter, the sister is not going 00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:27.920 to see him. But next picture. And to this child. 00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:33.659 I wanted to show you what they did after the 00:53:33.659 --> 00:53:41.639 exams. Next picture, please. So that was the 00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:47.699 brain before. One week before. And this is after. 00:53:48.980 --> 00:54:00.360 God formed. What didn't exist. But there's a 00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:04.739 dark part over there in the middle. The doctor 00:54:04.739 --> 00:54:08.659 said, he was born. But he's not going to talk. 00:54:09.740 --> 00:54:13.659 He's not going to walk. Or he's going to have 00:54:13.659 --> 00:54:17.179 a mental problem. And there's after a while. 00:54:17.940 --> 00:54:36.280 Next picture. You can keep passing. Yay. That's 00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:45.969 it. The next one. This is the last one. Oh, and 00:54:45.969 --> 00:54:49.670 that's him. That he is singing. In Portuguese. 00:54:51.909 --> 00:54:58.050 I am a miracle of God. A child that he was not 00:54:58.050 --> 00:55:04.010 going to speak. He was not going to walk. That 00:55:04.010 --> 00:55:09.730 he would not function well. God restored everything. 00:55:10.150 --> 00:55:18.710 Completely. Because and so. After waiting patiently. 00:55:23.710 --> 00:55:28.789 The couple over there. They reached the promise. 00:55:30.030 --> 00:55:37.349 God doesn't change. God doesn't lie. You have 00:55:37.349 --> 00:55:42.869 an anchor. But what God made this couple stay 00:55:42.869 --> 00:55:49.369 firm. Wasn't the words from the doctor. It wasn't 00:55:49.369 --> 00:55:55.230 the circumstances. It wasn't the problems. Actually 00:55:55.230 --> 00:55:59.809 all these circumstances.
