0:00 Stand on what God has told you, not on what your eyes see. The enemy of our souls knows very well that we depend a lot on what we see and sometimes within his jurisdiction of power, because the word says that he is the God of the air, who has power in the air, so he manipulates within what he controls. So that? so that what manipulates your feelings becomes blurred, your faith weakens, and your perception becomes distracted. That's why you have to understand that one of the signs that God is ready to make happen what he said he's going to do is when everything starts to seem further away than ever. It's when everything starts
0:48 to look upside down. Because? Because there is a control, there is an influence from the enemy that manages to make you depend on what you see and because of what you don't see you begin to say where is God, what's the point of serving God, that you have been faithful to God all these years and look how things are going from bad to worse instead of getting better for you . If he manages to do that because he can't steal your promise. He knows that if God spoke it is impossible for what God said he is going to do not to happen. But there is one thing he can do. And it is manipulating that over which he has authority and dominion to weaken your faith. Listen carefully, church. It doesn't have to look like what God told you. It doesn't have to look alike. It's that your God is the expert in sudden events. A
1:35 few days ago I said that there are people who suddenly wait without letting themselves be processed. But if you are one who has allowed yourself to be processed, you can expect suddenness. And you let yourself process, if you already know that God broke you, crushed you, you let him take what he had to take, you let him close what he had to close. You, even though with tears in your eyes you have remained in the place where he wants you, I have to tell you, something is coming suddenly for you that will be known in the north. It comes suddenly for you so that they can hear it in the south. A sudden thing comes to you. Let the West prepare itself, for it is coming suddenly for you. Oh my God. Tell whoever is close to you, someone is coming for you all of a sudden. Let your faith weaken.
2:37 Let's honor and reverence the sacred text today in First Samuel 13:1 and following. I'm going to read HH's version. God speaks today and when you have it, confirm it to me with an amen. Remember, if you didn't bring your Bible, don't worry, the text will be on the screen. And this word says thus: Saul was of age when he began to reign in Israel. And when he had reigned for some years , he chose 3,000 soldiers from among the Israelites. 2000 stayed with him in Migmas and in the mountains of Bethel. And others and the
3:24 other 1000 stayed with Jonathan in Gilboa of Benjamin. Saul ordered the rest of the people to return home. Jonathan destroyed the Philistine garrison that was at Gilboa, says the Reina Valera. There I am reading Guildea in the DHH and it says, "The Philistines found out. Then Saul ordered the trumpet to be blown throughout the land to warn the Hebrews." Verse 4 says, "Now all the Israelites heard that Saul had wiped out the Philistine garrison, and that because of this, the Philistines hated the Israelites. So the army met with Saul at Gilboa.
4:11 The Philistines gathered together to fight the Israelites. They had 30,000 chariots, 6,000 cavalry, and infantry as numerous as the sand of the seashore. Then they went to Mygmash and camped there on the east of Bedadaben. The Israelites were in dire straits, for the Philistines attacked them so hard that they hid in caves, holes, rocks, ditches, and pits. Many of them crossed the Jordan to Gath and
4:58 Galath. But Saul remained at Gilgal, and his entire army followed him in fear. Saul waited there seven days, according to the the time Samuel had set for him . But Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, and the people were beginning to leave. Then Saul ordered, "Bring me animals for the burnt offerings and the peace offerings." And he offered the burnt offering himself. Just as Saul had finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel arrived. So Saul went out to meet him and
5:45 greet him, but Samuel said to him, " Why have you done this?" Saul replied, "When I saw that the people were beginning to leave, that you did not arrive at the appointed time, and that the Philistines were gathered at Mygmash, I thought that they would come down and attack me at Gilgal, even though I had not committed myself to the Lord. That is why I found it necessary to offer the holocaust myself. Samuel answered, "What you have done is foolish. If you had obeyed the command the
6:31 Lord gave you, he would have established your reign in Israel forever. But now your reign will no longer exist. The Lord will seek a man pleasing to him and appoint him as leader over his people, because you have disobeyed the command he gave you. Father, thank you for your word. In Jesus' name, amen. Take your seat. We are going to speak just as God has directed us to speak tonight. Look, I don't know who here is feeling tested, but at a very strong level from God.
7:18 Who here feels like they are going through a trial or a strong process? Who here? Raise your hand. Well, I have to tell you that today God is going to speak to everyone who is going through a process where they feel that God is not speaking to them, where they feel that God is not revealing himself on their behalf. And I want you to know that you, in the name of Jesus, are going to leave here today with a word that is going to edify and will Strengthen your heart. At the beginning, I told you that I came here the way we are on Mondays, because the Lord told me, "Make sure my people receive this word today, that they receive it, and I have to make sure,
8:05 depending on me as a spokesperson, that you receive this message just as the Lord has already placed it in our hearts." So the theme of this word tonight is this. What can you do so that the pressure doesn't overcome you? What can you do so that the pressure doesn't overcome you? I want you to listen, right now there's a bet between heaven and hell. It 's impossible for God to allow you to go through something for which you are not prepared. The proof that you are prepared to go through what you are facing is that you
8:51 are going through it. The Bible says that no temptation has overtaken us except what is common to mankind, and that God is faithful, who will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. Listen to me carefully. In the Greek, in the original text, on many occasions, when the term tempted is used, the term tested is also used. Many times the Greek words for temptation and trial are the same. And I want you to hear this. The Lord will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability to bear, nor will he allow you to be tested beyond your capacity to
9:40 endure. The Bible says, "He trains my hands for battle and my fingers for war." He doesn't throw me into a war or a battle without first training me. Now, please listen to me . What you are going through now, I want you to hear it, what you are going through now, God has already prepared you beforehand to be able to go through it. But when you pass through it, you will be moved to a higher level, to a greater dimension of confidence in what God wants to do with you. However, what you are going through now, God has already trained you, He has already given you the
10:25 training, He has already given you the ability, He has already given you the knowledge to go through it. Like the teacher, as we said on Sunday, when he examines a student, the exam is always based on the lessons that have already been taught, but it is given to move on to another level. So, God is also giving you the test now based on the lessons he has already taught you. But why? To move to a new level. There I want you to know that if you are, you are being tested, you are being pressed because God trusts in what he put inside of you. He knows you can do it. And as we
11:12 said at the beginning, the enemy works to make you believe that you can't, to make you believe that you can't take it anymore, that if God lasts one more month in that trial with you, allowing you to go through all of that, you're going to break down. But that is not true. You can do it. You can do it. The Lord has not left you, nor will he leave you. He will be with you every step of the way. Does anyone say amen? Amen. Now, listen to this. Pressure reveals who you really are. Pressure reveals who you
11:58 really are. Pressure reveals what you are made of. Saying that you are something is not the same as having to prove what you are. Pressure is what reveals who you really are. Not everyone falls into crisis due to weakness. No, sir. Some fall into crisis because they stopped obeying in order to start surviving their way. Listen carefully. Don't stop obeying what God told you to do in order to do things according to your own convenience. Do n't abandon obedience to God to
12:45 look for a shortcut that suits you. Job spoke of this and said, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him." When things get tough, hallelujah, God doesn't take his eyes off you. He is watching. Oh, Father, the Lord is seeing that you could escape and you are not escaping. That you could take the easy way out and you 're not taking it. That you could have backed down, but you continue doing what he told you. And I come to tell you at this hour, that will bring reward. will not go unrewarded because the Lord is a rewarder of
13:30 those who seek him. Listen to something, there's one thing I want you to hear, and I think I 've also taught it here at some point, and that is that there 's a difference between what is a gift and what is a reward. The gift is a present. The award is earned. There are things that you have as gifts, because God gave them to you. Your grace, your ability, the courage you have, the gift, excuse the redundancy, whether spiritual or natural. But there are things that have nothing to do with a gift or gifts, no, they have to do with reward. And the award is won. Who wins it? People who test
14:16 God. People who test God. And if that's the applause, give it louder to the Lord. Listen to this. Don't let your mind betray you. Don't let your mind become the worst enemy of your purpose. God knows what you need. He knows it. He knows it. He has it. He has more to give you than you have to ask of him. Right now the issue is not the provision of your need. It is to see how much you put God above your need. Come on, Church, right now the problem isn't what you're missing, it's seeing how much you'd be
15:02 willing to live without it instead of offending God. Alleluia. That he has not yet been pleased to give you that. Is anyone here? Saul had it all. Saul had position. He had an army, he had support, he had prophecy over his head. Saul had a crown, he had property, he had a palace, he had an army. Saul had everything. But when he was tested to be assertive, the pressure broke him. And I want you to hear this, I'm going to repeat it again. When he was tested to be affirmed, that is, that what
15:49 he had was nothing compared to all that he could receive. Listen to me. The reason you are being tested is because God is not finished with you. If God wanted to leave you in what you already have, in what you have already achieved, in what you already manage, in what you already have, he would n't have to test you because you already have it. You try it for what's coming. You try it for what's coming. There are people here who may be crying today, but I guarantee you that a year from now they will be celebrating. The proof is in what is coming. The proof is in what is coming. And the word says that when a mother is giving birth she complains of pain because it hurts, right?
16:34 Pushing a baby hurts, but when she hugs her baby she forgets the pain she had to go through to give birth to him. And I prophesy that very soon there will be people here who will forget the pain, the tears. You'll forget how difficult it was to get to where God is leading you. Shake hands with two people and say, hang in there. No, but tell him like you're a prophet. Tell him, look, resist. Tell him, resist in the name of Jesus. Alleluia. Who lives? And in his name. Hm. Saul's trial had a
17:20 reason. God wanted to affirm it. It was not about giving him a crown, he already had a crown. It was not about giving him a reign, he was already king. Saul's test was to confirm it. Your test is not for what you already have, it is for what is coming. That's what it's for . In fact, let's be clear here. You were tested before you had what you have now. He who understands, understands. There are people who did not receive what they have now without first being tested. So, you've seen how God works. Just as he tested you years ago to give you what you have now, he is testing you now to give you what is about to be
18:05 unleashed in your favor. Does anyone say glory to God? Now, I want to honor exactly what the Lord told me to tell you. And for this I need you to announce it to two people. What are we going to tell him today? Well, tell it with all authority to the one you stay close to. Tell him, "Look, tell him, buckle up. God is going to speak to us tonight." Who's ready? Amen. Let's see what to do so that the pressure doesn't defeat you. Imagine that from this day forward, you become the pressure of your pressure, the crisis of your crisis. It's that it's that it's not that it's not that there are people here who
18:50 have to take their place again as warriors, as warriors of God, sending a message. I broke the reverse. God knows what is happening to me, and if he, knowing what is happening to me, has not resolved it, I trust that he is taking care of me. Does anyone say amen? Let's look at some tips on what to do to keep pressure from getting the better of you. Number one, the first thing you must do so that the pressure does not overcome you, beloved church, is this. Stand on what God said, not on what your eyes see. Stand on what God has told you, not on what
19:39 your eyes see. The enemy, the enemy of our souls, knows very well that we depend a lot on what we see and sometimes within his jurisdiction of power, because the word says that he is the God of the air, amen, who has power in the air, so he manipulates within what he controls . So that? so that with what he manipulates, hm, your feelings become blurred, your faith weakened and your perception distracted. That's why you have to understand that one of the signs that God is ready to make happen what he said he's going to do is when
20:26 everything starts to seem further away than ever. It's when everything starts to look upside down. Because? Because there is a control, there is an influence from the enemy that manages to make you depend on what you see and because of what you don't see you begin to say, where is God, what's the point of serving God, that you have been faithful to God all these years and look how things are going from bad to worse instead of getting better for you. If he manages to do that because he can't steal your promise. He knows that if God spoke it is impossible for what God said he is going to do not to happen . But there is one thing he can do, and that is to manipulate what he has authority and dominion over
21:12 to weaken your faith. Come on. Oh, God. I wouldn't be surprised if God saves you and frees you, you come out with a diagnosis that we don't want you to come out with and God tells you, "I'm going to heal you." You make the promise, but then after going to get another checkup or a new checkup, instead of the condition getting better, it gets worse, so oh my God. Oh, oh, it's a game. It's a game. Here he can't steal your miracle, he can't steal it, he can't steal your word, he doesn't have access to that. But what if, hallelujah, he can attack? He can attack systems. And if it manages to alter systems to weaken your faith, what does the word say? Without faith.
22:01 But it is the faith and conviction of what is not seen. The enemy cannot stand the pressure of someone who, even though he sees the opposite, continues to talk about what God said he will do. Oh, church, give that applause instead. Give it to him harder. Give it to him harder. Tell whoever is close to you, keep believing, even if everything seems upside down. Alleluia. Listen carefully, church. It doesn't have to look like what God told you. It doesn't have to look alike. It is that your God is the expert of the sudden. And that's the only thing. A few days ago I said that there are people who suddenly wait
22:47 without letting themselves be processed. Amen. But if you are one who has allowed yourself to be processed, you can expect suddenness. If you let yourself process, if you already know that God broke you, crushed you, you let him take what he had to take, you let him close what he had to close. You, even though with tears in your eyes you have remained in the place where he wants you, I have to tell you, something is coming suddenly for you that will be known in the north. It comes suddenly for you so that they can hear it in the south. A sudden thing is coming for you, prepare yourself for a sudden thing. Oh my God. Tell whoever is close to you, someone is coming for you all of a sudden.
23:32 What do you have there? Alleluia. Tell the one who is close to you, "Don't let your faith weaken." Hm. Verse 8 that we just read says that Saul waited 7 days. Listen to me, this is yours. Saul waited, how many days? Yeah. Seven days according to the time limit Samuel had given him. Tell me about it. Samuel tells him, "Wait for me for 7 days." 7 days pass and Samuel does not appear. It's very easy to wait for 7 days because you're counting down. You are counting down. Well, okay, 7
24:19 days. Six will be missing tomorrow. Help me. After five, later four. Three two 1. Arrived. How it arrived. Now I want to see Samuel because I also have a problem that is putting pressure on me. Let me give you a little context. There is a war. The people of Israel are facing an armed conflict, a war that, from a human point of view, seems very uneven. And I'm going to tell you why. Because the Israelite army had only 3,000 soldiers and the Philistines had 30,000. Tell me about your faith when you see yourself at a disadvantage. But God said, "With your 3000 you're going to
25:05 swallow the 30,000. With your 3000." Oh, oh , oh, oh, oh. With your little strength. With your little strength, with your little. Oh Lord, make my army go up to 30,000. No, no, no. With your 3000. Sometimes God's miracle isn't in bringing what you have to what someone else has. Sometimes it's up to him to show off with the little you have so that you know who it is you believe in. And that's the applause, give it louder to the Lord. And the Bible says that after the deadline has passed, Samuel does not arrive. Saul said, "I'll be fine if I
25:51 last these 7 days. I'll be fine." And there are people who believed that things, that the promise, that what God said he was going to do was going to be within a certain timeframe, and you prepared for that timeframe. It's like when you fill up the tank, you say, "Where am I going?" "Paraway." Perfect. I fill the tank and this gives me enough to go and come back . Perfect. And if the gas runs out and there is no gas station. And God said, "You arrive." Because it's nice and easy to say, "I still have some left. The tank is half full, it's going on a quarter. Tell me about when the reserve light came on, but the car won't turn off. Give God space. Give God's miracle space. Don't try to control everything. Come on,
26:38 church. The problem with many of us is that we are people of administration, of leadership, of government, we like to feel like we know what's coming. Help me and tell me that I'm not just talking to one, to two. There are people who aren't very trained in losing control. No, no, no. Why would you trust control of yours to someone who isn't you? Please, this isn't necessarily bad. What happens is that here in faith it doesn't work like that. In faith it works that sometimes God will say to you, "Walk." And you'll say, "Lord, there's no floor there." And he'll say to you, "Walk, while you walk, I'll lay the floor." In God it works that sometimes he takes you
27:24 to the heights and then says to you, "Jump." And you say to the Lord, "Lord, I don't have a parachute here." And the Lord says to you, "Jump, because after you jump, I'll throw the parachute to you." Lord, but I don't know how to swim. Jump in because you're going to walk on water. Oh, my God. I don't know who God is challenging, but push me to the one you're staying near and tell him, "God is challenging you." Tell him, "God is challenging you to believe him." God is challenging you to believe him. Listen to me. Oh, it's just that my husband seems more rebellious every day . Saul seemed like that too. It's that my sister is lost too. Rahab was like that. Oh, God. It's that I have too big an obstacle in front of me. That's what
28:09 Moses and all the people of Israel had when the Lord said to them, "What do you have in your hand? Come on. It's that my debt is very large. The same was true of the indebted widow. The arm of God has not been cut off. No, let me say it again here so the prophets will understand me. The arm of God has not been cut off. No, let me say it here, those who are at war will understand. The arm of God has not been cut off. The enemy will come like a flood, but the Spirit of the Lord will raise standards against him. Let me tell you something. As long as you continue to believe that you are fighting for yourself, for your ability and for your strength, as long as you continue to believe that you are fighting for yourself, pay attention to me here, look at me here, because
28:57 I know what I came to strike. I know what I came to hit. I know what's coming to hit. As long as you think you are fighting with your strength, you have not understood this. Tell whoever is close to you, I don't fight with my own strength. Tell him, tell him, I fight with the strength that the Lord gives me. Where are the people that God gives his strength to here? He is the one who gives us power. He is the one who girds me with strength, said the psalmist, who makes my feet like those of servants and makes me stand firm on my high places. Saul waited 7 days according to the time
29:42 Samuel had given him, but Samuel, say it with me, say it, did not arrive. I was hoping that last year the Lord would save my whole house, but still many of them have not been saved. What happens to your faith when you are in the still? I was hoping last year that God was going to heal me from this situation, but I'm still on medication. Come on, that's still it. Hey, what's up. Wait, let me tell you that after the 7-day period has passed, then we'll see what Saul has left. We know that during the 7 days there was a king waiting for a deadline, but after the deadline, what was left for the king? Let me explain. There is a king with a deadline of 7
30:29 days. 7 days pass. Tell me if you have any essence left after the deadline. How much essence do you have left after the deadline? How many kings worthy of God reaffirming a covenant with him remained after a period of time? of a deadline that is met and a deadline where Samuel does not arrive. How much of Saul is left worthy of God saying that I want to affirm? Because within the deadline, okay? You are waiting for the deadline and after the deadline, how much of you is left for God to say, "Look, this woman, this man is so trustworthy that even though the deadline did not arrive as he wanted, he continues to trust, he did not
31:14 lose his essence with people of that caliber, it is that the kingdom of heaven wants to make covenants on this earth." Yes, that's the applause. Come on, tell whoever is closest to you. Tell him, "Don't be intimidated by deadlines." Tell him not to be intimidated by deadlines. Listen to me. Pressure pushes you to react based on the view. Ah, church of my heart, listen to what pressure does. It takes your gaze off the Almighty and makes you look at your own problem. When you take your eyes off the Almighty and focus on problems, you fall into this terrible trap, which is the worst thing that can happen to you in the midst of a
32:00 pressure situation. Pressure pushes you to react based on what you see. According to what you see. Faith teaches you to remain according to what God told you. Alleluia. Alleluia. Listen to me, the Bible says, " We walk by faith. Alas, alas, alas! Not by sight." Hey, how do you compare it? By faith, not by faith, not by oh God. Not with both. It is by faith and not by faith we walk, not by sight. I believe what God told me, not what I see. I believe the word God gave me, not
32:47 how circumstances have turned out. We walk by faith, not by sight. Very good. Listen to this. Listen to it and write it down or keep it in your heart. When God speaks to you, your job is to believe and his job is to make what he told you happen, oh God, just as he told you, you see it happen. Just make sure you're where God wants you and doing what he told you to do, and you'll see how God's sudden action will come to your aid when you
33:32 least expect it. If that's the applause, give it louder to the Lord. Don't try to find your own interpretation of the word God gave you. When God gives you a word, do not interpret it. God does not need interpreters. What I think is what he meant. No, no, no, no, no, no. Stop looking for God as an interpreter. He needs no interpretation. When he tells you to do something, listen, if you don't understand something, don't try to give it an interpretation. The spirit interprets it perfectly. That's why some people seem crazy, because until God finally explains what he said,
34:17 they don't move. Oh my God. There must be two or three of them who seem crazy here today. Tell whoever is closest to you, if you want, tell him, call me whatever you want. Tell him, "But I know who I 'm waiting for." Where are the people who are waiting to see the hand of God here? Where are those who say, "I will continue to wait on him because I know that he is faithful to perform." Point number two, what can you do to prevent pressure from defeating you? Point number two, don't make permanent decisions under time pressure. Church, my love, listen to me. Don't make permanent decisions under time pressure. Verse
35:03 8 says, people were beginning to leave. I got scared, Samuel, because the problem was that people were starting to leave. Oh, God. People started leaving me and you didn't come. The people who were with me were so frightened that they said, "No, no, let's go and leave Saul alone." And he let what he was seeing weaken him because people were starting to leave. What put Saul under pressure was that people started leaving him alone. And in the midst of your trial there are people who will leave you alone. There are people who are going to leave. There are things that will turn out to be more of a
35:51 loss for you because you obey God. Oh, Dad, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, God, I love you. Listen, and when you see that instead of winning by obeying God, you are experiencing a process of loss, hey, I come to greet you today. Because that is a level of trust that God does not give to everyone. When you, by obeying God, begin to see that instead of the door opening, it closes because in order for it to open, you had to speak a lie. And you, since you are already filled with the Spirit to the bone, you said, "No, oh no. What God is going to give me, He is going to give it to me in His order. The blessing of the Lord is that which makes rich and adds no sorrow
36:37 with it. If because of your being obedient to God you feel that you are in loss, tell your neighbor, that is not a loss. Tell him, no, but tell him as if you are a prophet. Help me, prophesy to him. Tell him, that is not a loss. Tell him that it is called, tell him, hey, what is that called? Creating space. Creating space. Creating space. Does anybody say amen? People were beginning to leave. Oh, God. And I saw myself in need. Oh, Saul says, because people were beginning to leave, I saw myself in need. Wait a minute, you have the word of God.
37:23 So, you are telling me that what you interpreted by seeing the loss that you began to have, made you feel that it was your need to do the opposite of what God told you he wanted. Imagine when your need leads you to do the opposite of what God tells you to do. There we go, church. Did you know that there are times when you give too much, no, too much prominence to your need? Your need controls you, your need makes you bring the wrong people into your life. Because, by the way, it's true that you needed it. It's true that you need a partner. It's true, it's not a lie that you need a partner. The thing is, it's one thing for your need to bring it
38:11 and another thing for God to bring it. No, no, no, no. Tell him, no. If that's the applause. No, it's not that the problem is one thing when it's your need that makes you hire yourself or that you are hired in a place, that you are employed in a place out of necessity, out of necessity, than when you say, if that's what is done in that place, my foundations and my principles are not They join that. So, what happens? They're going to call you with a high salary, but to sell tobacco and liquor. So, you're filled with the presence of God. So, if you don't have a character similar to that of Jesus Christ, I don't know.
38:57 Look, it takes character to be able to see a plate full of meats and everything that was on the table of the king of Babylon and say like Daniel, I'm not going to defile myself with the king's portion. It seems there's someone like that here now. It seems there's someone putting pressure on hell. It seems the devil is trying to make you abandon your birthright for a bowl of lentils. Today the warriors are leaving here saying, "I don't want anything that doesn't come from God." Where are they? Where are they? The people were leaving. Yes. Yes, church, listen to him. The friends who don't want to walk with someone who is light and who doesn't let themselves be
39:46 carried away by the currents of this world, are going to start leaving. The question is, so they don't leave, what are you doing? What are you going to do? Are you going to start doing what you did before? So that they feel they can stay with you. When you pass God's test, that's when you're left with—look, you're left with only the Holy Spirit and yourself, if necessary. But to anyone who wants to stay with you, you clarify and say, " I'm not the same anymore." I'm not the same. If you want me to accompany you to the bar, I won't go to the bar. If what you want is for me to be involved with you doing and undoing, that is no longer my way of doing things. I have another route. Mine now is the path of life, the path of obedience, the path of following God's purpose
40:33 for me. Does anyone say amen here? Tell the person who is close to you, don't pressure yourself. For the apparent losses. People were starting to leave. Imagine, what Saul has is an army of what? 3,000. And the 3,000 begin to leave because the Philistines have an army of 30,000 and instead of going up to the army of Israel, the 3,000 that are there begin to leave. Tell me what happens to you when the little you have, instead of increasing, begins to decrease. Instead of growing, hallelujah, it diminishes. Instead of the doors opening, the few doors you have left keep closing. I'm
41:20 going to tell you here the bet is not for money, it's not for a contract, it's not for people, it's not for business, it's not for a boyfriend, it's not for a girlfriend. What you need is already prepared. God is preparing you to give him to you . If that's the applause, give it louder to the Lord. Does anyone say amen? Saul, listen to this, wanted to avoid losing people, but instead of avoiding losing people, he lost God's favor. What you do to maintain your image can cost you your allowance. You have to be careful. It's just that I don't want to be seen with a small crowd. It's just that I don't want them to know that my business is going down. It's just that I don't want them to know. Look, I'm going to tell you something.
42:06 In the same place where many people thought you were going to die, sometimes right there, from that same floor, from that same ground, is where God will lift you up. That's why there are people who in the process ask God, take me out of here, take me out of here. And God doesn't take it out. Because? Because in the same place where many said, "You're going to die," there God will raise you up as a sign of one who is alive and who will continue to live, because his life depends on the giver of life. And if you believe it, give the Lord a big round of applause. Listen to this, church. Another important point, do not move for fear of losing
42:52 human approval. Do n't let your decisions be made out of fear of losing people, out of fear of losing them, of them leaving, of them leaving. I'm worried they'll leave. So, so they don't leave, let me do this, because literally what you're saying, I care more about retaining people than obeying God. Don't move for fear of losing people's approval. What God supports remains. It remains. Even Jesus was losing his people on one occasion. Gentlemen, gentlemen, even Jesus. And you know what the disciples said to him, "Lord, the people are leaving you. Gentlemen, look, the most powerful thing
43:38 on this earth is a person possessed by a divine purpose." Amen. Amen. In that way? When the purpose possesses you, when the assignment possesses you, even if you want to stop, it happens to you like Jeremiah, who says the word that when he wanted to remain silent he felt like a fire, oh God lit up in his bones. Because when the assignment possesses you, it 's not that you have an assignment, it's that the assignment possesses you. I feel my father. So please listen to me. Jesus' response was, "Do you want to go with those who are leaving too? Because I'm not going to change my message so they stay.
44:24 When a friend tells you, "You're no longer the interesting friend, the one who hung out with me on the beaches, at the parties, I'm going to have to find another friend." Tell him, "But, but what you're going to do, do it faster. Faster. Listen to this. Three, what can you do to prevent pressure from defeating you? Understand that your obedience is more powerful than your strategy. Here we go. Understand that your obedience is more powerful than your strategy. How strong. Look, I'm speaking to you from the eye of the storm. Glory to God.
45:12 Listen to this, listen to it. Hear it in the name of the Lord. When God has you waiting on him, a lot of people will come with ideas. And I'm going to tell you something else. The ideas are not bad. Humanly speaking, they are strategies that make sense, but with human meaning. Because it's not like they're always going to come and tell you bad things that go against what God told you. Sometimes what God told you is going to be given a strategy that God didn't tell you. So here the strategy for Saul was to wait for Samuel who did not arrive in 7 days did not change. Pastor, how do I know if God has spoken to me and I
45:57 have to continue doing what God told me? But God told me 3 years ago . How do I know if I can do something different because I've been doing it for 3 years? Let's get it straight here now. When you walk with Waze or Google Map or GPS, when you go in direction X they give you an instruction. The instruction can be turned to the right. turn right. After you turn right, you may not be spoken to again for a while. And there are a lot of streets and there are a lot of detours and you can't say, "GPS, come on, talk to me now." No, no, no. What I 'm telling you is, if I haven't talked to you again
46:43 , I 'm telling you to keep doing the last thing I told you. Oh, God. If that's the applause, give it louder to the Lord. Tell the person nearest you, "I've got the instruction." Tell him, "I know." Tell him, "I know what I have to do." Oh, what do I have to do? The last thing God told me. What God told me. That is my instruction. Then, the pressure starts to come from all sides, but double down, because there's a shortcut over there, because you'll get there faster over there, because there's a stop over there. It's that God neither told me to take a shortcut, nor did he tell me to make a parachute. He just told me, "Remember the last thing I
47:29 told you." Let's get this down to earth . For many of you, the last thing God said to you was, "Keep believing, for I know the mess you're in . Keep obeying. Oh my God. Do all you can with what you have where it is, and what you can't do, I'll take care of." Tell your neighbor, "Let go of the pressure. Tell him it's yours. Oh my God. Tell him it's yours. It's yours, it's yours. You better give that applause to the Lord. Understand that your obedience is more powerful than your strategy. Listen to what verse 14 says, where we read, "You have disobeyed the command he gave you.
48:14 God gave you a clear order. Oh, saint. And you have disobeyed the order he gave you. Saul thought a quick sacrifice would solve or work better than waiting. A quick sacrifice. He understood that he was going to solve or that he was going to work better so that the problem would be solved. But heaven is not impressed by disorderly actions. The sky is impressed with obedience. radical. My God. I'm going to say something strong and those who will understand me are the spiritual people. I know you are spiritual and I hope you are right now. Right now, and I
49:01 say this with certainty, there are people who are making God smile. Oh, pastor, and how am I going to tell you, and I'm going to tell you something stronger now. Right now there are people who are crying because they obey God because their flesh is in pain , but despite their tears, they continue to obey God. And by that obedience you are making God smile. And God is looking at you in heaven just as he looked at Job. Do you know what Job's Lord said at some point when speaking to Satan? You have not considered my servant Job, a just and upright man, one who fears me and shuns evil. And if you read chapter 2, it
49:47 seems to me, it says the word that even after I have tested him, even after everything that has happened to him, he retains. He retains. Oh, come on. I am preaching to those who hold something back from this day on. Those who say, "I thought about giving up, but from this day forward I hold on." Do thus with me prophetically. Say I'm holding back. Say, I 'm holding back. I retain my faith. I retain my confidence, I retain my integrity. I hold fast to the fact that I wait on what God told me. Do you think God has forgotten you? has not been forgotten. He hasn't taken his eyes off you for a single second. His eyes are
50:32 fixed on you. Let's see how you act in the middle of this war. Let's see how you act under this pressure. And when you pass it, look, oh my God. There are going to be people who are going to say, "It was worth it to put God to the test. It was worth it because I was expecting something, but God brought me way more than I was expecting Him to give me. If that's the applause, give it louder to the Lord. Listen to me. A good intention out of season is disobedience in disguise. It 's not that I don't, no. Be careful. Pray about everything. Pray about everything. Pray about everything. I'm sorry. That idea seems phenomenal. The
51:19 only thing I have to pray to see what God says. That you want to go out with me, I don't go out with people that God doesn't tell me to have, I have to pray like that. Look, look what they're praying here. Don't be troubled, tell your neighbor, "Peace, God knows how to speak." And I'll tell you something, God doesn't always speak in a way that you hear. Sometimes He speaks to you with a feeling in your spirit where you say, "Wait, I feel it in my heart, Hallelujah, this doesn't come from God." And other times God puts it in your heart that this does come from Him. And it doesn't matter who rises up against it, who doesn't understand it, but the feeling of God is too subtle, but profound.
52:05 Sometimes even silent, but it carries an unmistakable voice to the being of the one who serves the Lord. Someone says, "Glory to God." At this point, listen, don't improvise the spiritual. If God doesn't order it, don't execute it. If God doesn't look good, it looks very nice, but if God doesn't order it to me, I don't execute it. But it worked for so-and-so, it worked for him. But I need God to speak to me and I don't do things just because it works for others. I have to know that God approves of this. The Lord does not build the house, the builders labor in vain.
52:52 Someone says, "Glory to God." Point number four. Four, right? Point number four. Remember that what you do under pressure has consequences. Listen to what the Verse 13. If you had obeyed God, he would have confirmed your reign. If you had obeyed, I'm going to say this with great sadness, but I have to say it. Here are people who are going around again on something they should have conquered a long time ago. And as if you had obeyed when I commanded you, but you let your desperation betray you and you damaged the process. So you
53:39 damaged what you were about to conquer. So I had to start over with you. There are people here who, if they had obeyed a while ago, would already be on another level. That's why I come today with all firmness to tell you, do not delay what God wants to do with you. And how do you delay? In disobedience, creating paths that God did not open, doing things that God did not command you, converting your mentality and your way of seeing things into your need. Never put your need first before your obedience. I love you, God. I love you, God. Remember that
54:24 what you do under pressure has consequences. If you had obeyed, he would have Confirmed your reign. Verse 13 says, a single act of impatience canceled what God wanted to do with him forever. Come on, Church, look, my life, a single act of impatience of one day, of one hour, canceled what God could have eternally done with Saul. How is it going to be that the permission you give yourself to fail God in what He told you to obey, to fall, to fall into what God told you to renounce, to remain in what He is telling you to leave, how is that going to
55:09 cause you to permanently damage what God wants to do with you? A moment of pleasure cannot ruin your purpose. A relationship that, although your flesh likes, God is commanding you to break, cannot be a ruin for what God wants to do with you. An apparent gain cannot rob you of what is most valuable, which is your communion with the Lord. So, listen to it again, please. Listen to him. A single act of impatience canceled what God wanted to do forever with King Saul. A single act of
55:55 impatience, gentlemen. Look, praise God. The Word says that the reason Moses didn't enter the Promised Land was because for a moment, for a moment, of giving free rein to his effusiveness, he sinned in a moment, and that momentary sin of striking the stone, when God told him to speak to the stone, for that moment, Moses spent all the years he spent in the desert and couldn't enter the Promised Land. And forgive me, I'm one of those who always, when I read the Bible, stop and think and say, "God, make me see." And what I can see in this sense is that if God didn't have special consideration for Moses,
56:47 if God didn't have special consideration for Moses, I can't think that He'll have it for me. And forgive me, but both in the case of Saul and in the case of Moses, the failure of both in that direction was the same. What Was it? The people, what was it that pressured Moses? The people, hallelujah, who want water, the people to get water. The people to Saul, that the people are going to you possibly, that the people are asking you when are you going to get married, that look at you who are already going on 50 years, that where are the people looking, the people, there are some businesses that everyone is advancing in your family and you are the only one who isn't advancing. The people, the people,
57:34 tell your neighbor, "Beware of the people. Focus on what God told you. Focus on what God told you. Give it better. That applause to the Lord. Alleluia. Pressure tests you, not just to see if you can endure, but to see if you can sustain what God has given you. That's why pressure tests you, to see if you can handle it. Not just having, because having it is one thing and sustaining it is another. It's one thing to receive it, and another to keep it. Come on, church. Church of my heart, there are people that God gave something to now that He is testing them. It was the
58:21 entrance. You just introduced yourself in the introduction. This is the introduction. That's just getting started. Like when you get on a plane, you can even get on in the first-class area, there they can have everything: food, ice cream, coffee. They don't offer it to you from the moment you get on the plane. You just came in. There are people who have really just gotten on board and are saying, "Open up, I'm leaving. This turbulence is really strong." Calm down, hold on. That turbulence only occurs when you are going up. There will come a time when that flight will stabilize and you will be attended to with the favors from heaven that God promised he would give you. If you maintain yourself,
59:07 you will remain in the position that God wants you to be in. Look, gentlemen, I'm going to tell you something. Alleluia. There are people here who are in dispute because they have retained their integrity until now. The armed dispute is that the last ones left. It's the last blows the enemy has left. It's just that you're giving it your last flutters. It's already expired. He is already defeated and desperate. He wants to drive you to despair. Hear me, I know. Anxiety has been unleashed on some of you. There are people here who have been attacked by the enemy with anxiety, with desperation, with the feeling that they can no longer wait. I cancel that. I cancel that. I will lift up
59:55 my eyes to the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help is coming. My help is coming. My help is coming. Who made the heavens. Your foot will not slip, nor will he who guards you slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall not slumber, nor sleep . Does anyone say amen? Amen. What you can't resist under pressure, you can lose under judgment. What you can't stand up to under pressure. What did God tell you to resist? Stand your ground.
1:00:44 Resist it. Hold your ground. Resist it here where God told me. They're hitting me with everything, but I'm here where God told me. Saying that what God commanded me to say, hallelujah, making what he wants me to do, resist it. Because what you can't resist under pressure, you lose under judgment. And lastly, last point, keep your heart aligned in the face of circumstances, no matter how difficult they may be. Keep your heart aligned in the face of circumstances, no matter how difficult they may be. Shama. Verse 14 says, the Lord will seek a man after his own
1:01:32 heart. That was what the Lord told Saul. That was what the Lord said to Saul for not passing God's test. God does not look for kings with influence, but for leaders, people, men, women with a heart willing to believe in Him. Saul became internally misaligned and that caused his external downfall. If you get out of alignment inside, everything falls apart outside. When you break down internally, everything falls out. So, you need to stay firm and aligned. Does anyone say amen?
1:02:18 Protect your heart more than your strategy. Protect the obedience God commanded you to have more than your strategy. Don't say that failing God is a necessity . Hm. Never put your need before your obedience. The anointing flows where there is obedience, not where there is anxiety. I conclude with this. Pressure doesn't come to destroy you, it comes to show whether what you carry is yours or borrowed. How so, shepherdess? Well, everything you have either God lent it to you or God is going to leave it to you permanently. And what determines it? the way
1:03:05 you pass the test. So, God first gives you something and says, "Look, here, take that calling, take that grace, take my support, let me test you to see if I can make a permanent covenant with you. Things are not going to happen when you want them to. A need will appear that you fail, but I'm going to measure it, I'm hitting something and I can feel it. Look, I know that God is telling me what He's telling me because right now the Holy Spirit confirms it to me , that there are real people here who are facing need, who have put on their spiritual gloves and have said, "God knows my need and if He, knowing my need, has not
1:03:50 provided for me, look, even if I die, I will be faithful to God." I know that those people came to this service. I know that those people are here. I know that those people are here. And I want you to find the one you stay close to and say, "Yours is coming." Tell him, tell him, "Yours is coming." But perhaps there are others, let me be complete and integral in this word that I am going to give. Perhaps there are others who by now have failed God and done the same thing as Saul. They have chosen a way to resolve their situation. If that's you, I have news for you. Unlike what the Lord told Saul, God brought you into this service today for a reason. God extends His mercy to you and
1:04:38 says, "Even though you have put your need above obeying Me, today I call you to make a new covenant with you. Today I say to you, abandon what you know is not pleasing to me and come, let's come to terms." The word says, "Though your sins be red as crimson, I will turn them into white wool." When? When you come and let's come to terms, to terms. God is not looking for kings who justify themselves, He is looking for children who remain faithful. If today you are in the midst of a difficult time, listen to the command from heaven, do not back down,
1:05:26 do not give in to the pressure. Do not give in, do not give in, do not give in. So, my beloved brothers, says the book of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 58. So, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. And I 'm going to tell you something, a few days ago, my love, I'm going to give this testimony. I was, the pastor, your pastor is a man, look, truly, blessed, who blesses the life of his wife, his pastor, and he said to me, "My love, I want to take you to dinner." I said, "Well, I'll catch." Yes, because you have to catch. Some things are caught. Then he says to me, "My love, I'm going to take you to dinner." And we went to dinner. When we were having dinner, we had a
1:06:12 conversation and we started talking about many things and I said to him, "Wow, my love, look, wow." Humanly, I have to tell you that the one who helps me, the one who helps me to be able to continue forward in the midst of the situation that we have as a church. Now the church has a significant fund for the purchase of land and, ladies and gentlemen, people are leaving me all the time too . They leave from the parking lot because they can't find parking. They leave from the line because they don't fit in here. And the Ministry of Security keeps calling me and saying, "Pastor, more than 100 families left us today. Pastora, much of the line returned. Pastora,
1:06:57 the cars go around the block five times and they can't find you. And I said to my husband, "You know, my love? Do you know what keeps me standing? Standing firm in what God told me? My God, listen to him, church." I said to him, "Do you know what it is, my love? I know that in the midst of what we're going through, God knows that the reason we're waiting is because our priority is to make God smile. Something else happened there, a little bit more in something that we had to resolve where things didn't exactly turn out the way we expected, and I said to him, "My love, you see." And he gave me the word of a prophet that day and he said, "You know what, my love, listen to what I'm going to
1:07:43 tell you." Oh, God. He said to me, "Do you know why things are the way they are? It's because in everything you're doing, you want to do what God told you, my love, because you had a way to make it happen tomorrow, but not as God told you, my love. You have preferred, you have preferred, you have preferred. So I'm not here to talk to you, listen to me. I'm not here to talk to you about something I'm not experiencing. He doesn't know how God used him. Literally, I felt like God spoke to me. It was that day that I went the next day to prepare that message, because literally when he spoke to me he reminded me of Saul. What pressured Saul was that people were leaving. But
1:08:28 I'm going to tell you something. When you continue believing in God, God will bring back all those who have left, multiplied after your waiting. Give him the glory. Give glory to God. Stand up, church. Stand up, church. And I want to read this verse last that I want you to receive. Paul says speaking about this very thing. I'm not looking for people to approve of what I say, nor am I looking to please anyone. If I did so, I would no longer be a servant of Christ. For me the most important thing is that God approves me from here. Today you have to go out with that anointing to do what God told you, not
1:09:16 what is comfortable. Do what God told you to do, not what your human strategy is telling you to do. Do what God told you, church. Oh, there where you are, raise your hand, worship God, speak to the Lord, tell him, God, from today I decide to wait for you, Lord. It doesn't matter if Samuel doesn't make it to the seventh day. Oh, I decide to wait for you. I decide to wait for you in that same environment if there is a life that needs to receive Jesus today. If there is anyone here who wants to give their heart to Christ today, please, from wherever you are, come to
1:10:01 the feet of the Lord. This is the day. This is the day that the Lord has made. This is the day. Your life is worth a lot to God. That's why he allowed you to come here today. Today you arrived not by coincidence, but by purpose. The altar is open. The altar is open. I want you to be able to come with complete confidence from wherever you are , because the one who brought you here today is the Lord. Alleluia. Where is the first life that says, "I want to give my heart to Jesus today.
1:10:49 I want to give my life to Christ today. I want to give my being to Jesus today. You know something, this is a very special night so that if there is anyone, anyone who today wants to be reconciled to the Lord, do it with all firmness. No matter how much you have failed, this is the day that the Lord has made. A new day, a day of new beginnings. A day of new beginnings. Come. If you have tried everything and everything fails you, try Christ. The Lord calls today those who are His and says to you, "Come, I stand at the door and knock. I stand at the door and knock. I stand at the door and knock." My God.
1:11:36 Hallelujah. The altar is still open. The altar is still open. The altar is still open. Glory to God for those lives that are passing by. But there are more lives. And among the lives here today, there are people that the Lord is calling today to be reconciled, to be reconciled with the Lord. No matter how you have fallen, today the Lord lifts you up. No matter how you have failed Him, today He forgives you. Give glory to God for that life. Give glory to God for that life. Who else? Who else? Who else says, "Me too?" Me too. Me too." The Lord doesn't call ready people, He calls those who are not ready to enlist them.
1:12:24 Come as you are. Come as you are. You just said those same words now. I feel like I 'm not ready. And the Lord calls you and says, "Come as you are." Give glory to God. Come as you are. Come as you are today, now. Now everything that ties you down has to let go. You're going to come as you are. You're going to pass as you are. You're not going to leave with the same chains. This is the night that made the Give glory to God for him. Give glory to God for him. Give glory to God for her. Here is God. I want the people who passed here, I'm counting to three, right? Oh my God, how strong
1:13:10 this is. Hallelujah, hallelujah. I'm counting to three and go one, go one, go one, go one. I count two. Who else says, I give glory to God for those lives? Give glory to God for those lives. I count two. And who else says? I count three. I count three. Who else comes up from their chair and says, "I know God spoke to me. I know the Lord is calling me to believe, to trust in what he wants to do with me. Perhaps you once served God and devised your own strategy to get out of the process. But today God is calling you to live it his way, with
1:13:56 his help, with him, with him, with him, with him. Oh my God. Someone is missing here. He is a person who needs to be reconciled. From the dust God raises you again. God raises you from the dust. God says, "Because you are mine. I will not leave you there. From the dust I will raise you." Give him the glory. Give him the glory. Give him the glory. Give him the glory. Give God the glory. Give the Lord all the glory. Alleluia. If there is someone connected with us who wants to give their life to Jesus today, could you repeat this
1:14:42 prayer? Now I want to say a prayer after having prayed for the people who surrender and I am going to say a prayer for healing. The Lord told me early this morning, "Today there will be miracles in the house. Today there will be miracles. If you came with a need for God to heal you, stay in communion, because there are miracles here today. There are miracles here today and the altar remains open so that if there is a life that is still, hallelujah, struggling to take this step, know that you can come, you can pass, you can come. Hallelujah. I want all those who passed here, those who are connected there, to repeat
1:15:27 this prayer with me. Lord Jesus, tonight I accept you and receive you as my only and sufficient savior. Say, I renounce everything that binds me. From this day forward, I want you to use me to be an instrument of yours in every place where you allow me to be. Say, I renounce everything that does not please you. From the first to the fourth generation in my life, I renounce and embrace your
1:16:14 will, your desire, your purpose and your holy spirit to guide my life toward everything that you have for Me. In the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. Glory to God. The intercessors help me pray for them. The church gives a loud applause to the Lord for these lives. Thank you, Father. Thank you, God. And if you need God to heal you, please raise your hand right where you are. Everyone who has a need for God to heal their body, to heal their soul, to heal their heart, to heal you, to heal you, please raise your
1:17:00 right hand, let's pray. Oh, my God, raise your right hand, let's pray. The God of the impossible is here today. He is here. He knows your need. He came to speak to you. He says to you today, hallelujah, I know what's wrong with you. I know what you need, Father, now in the name of Jesus. Oh, Father, now I know you are touching, God, each one of the bodies that are here, Lord, and those that are connected, needing a miracle of healing, because you are the God of miracles, because by your wound we have Been healed, Lord Father, may
1:17:46 every ailment disappear now. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh , oh, oh. May every ailment disappear now. There is someone who is being freed from something. Oh, my God. Receive the healing touch of God now. Receive health. Receive health. Receive health. All fatigue, all tiredness, all bone pain, all deficiency, all anemia disappears now. disappears. Now the Lord brings, hallelujah, healing and order to every single system tonight. Every blood pressure problem ,

I hear chains falling. Oh, my God. Infections disappearing. Circulation problems disappearing today. Here is the Lord healing. Here is the
1:19:18 Lord healing. I hear chains fall. There are people who were being attacked, attacked in their bodies for what they have proposed to do in these days. You spoke of seeking and hell attacked you. But we canceled every attack of the devil against you . Receive health. Receive health. Receive healing. Receive healing. Receive strength. Receive firmness of spirit. God gives you victory. You leave this place in victory. Thank you, Father. Thank you for what you have spoken. Thank you for what you have ministered to us. We
1:20:04 leave confident, certain that you are with us and that in you, God, we are safe. In the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. God bless you, church. May God bless you more. From the first day this congregation opened its doors, we have seen the great support of God in favor of this ministry, focused solely on bringing salvation, restoration, and the life of God through all possible means.
