... What we can do is be a reflection of the glory and magnificence of God if we can be a mirror and says 2 Corinthians 3.18 , are changed into the same image, with open face beholding as in a mirror ... question: What face of the mirror reflects light and the mirror is flowing light? A: The mirror must be on the right side, must be clean to reflect light from a luminous object (a light bulb, the sun, a star), but not the mirror of light flowing ... Prophecy is given all the psalms are all written, the words of Jesus are all embodied, we are not prophets or new, or new psalmist, no new illuminated, no new christs, that's what the emerging movement, which the new doctrines, which the new waves of thought have not understood that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever, have not understood that the doctrine is the Word of God abides forever, and these movements and these new doctrines deceive their followers and consumers, and believed so, so spiritual that limit the presence of the Holy Spirit and speak only pastors or just my buddies or just the beard and I follow my instructions are spiritual and there are others in your cults whip and need need need to jump and scream at all times and raise their hands saying "already broke the Spirit in me" (but who knows what manner of spirit speak), many others seem shakes or (changuitos of their dishes) or roll on the floor, NO !!...
In preparing this reflection I must tell you how hard as a human being, which is to balance human affairs and spiritual things, never allowing the human or earthly hoard more than they should so as not to lose communion with the Eternal Creator, is important to confess and scrutinize every day in our mind and heart: "I am in the world, but I'm not part of the world, therefore the world hates me because if the world will love me because I am the world, but because it hates me is that I am of Christ "and is a good start to enter into communion with God as a communion, a communion that allows us to start the day with the certainty that every step we take, we do hand in hand in our God and to execute and nourish our spiritual life with solid food and no milk again with inexperienced, reflecting the immaturity that with every wind of doctrine and wobble have with any problem you stumble and slide with a fall situation, no! ! Brothers, because we are not to return to the old basics, we are not to return to the basics because if so we would not be tools for the powerful presence of the Divine Spirit spilled, because then we would not be vessels, or instruments, would be filthy rags and stumbling blocks, and forgive me brothers, we are not for that. And reflecting on this, the intention of this talk is to find the point indicated, the perfect balance of preference or tending to the spiritual, so we must talk about the principle perhaps more important to tip the balance in favor of our side spiritual, and this factor is: sanctification, all brothers, we should consider this as we are a couple of days, a few hours to celebrate the end of "the feast of weeks", which began three days after Passover with the presentation of the first fruits, the party called "pentekostos" meaning fiftieth day and that if we made a chronology of the dates (even in our solar calendar) the fiftieth day falls on June 12 is Passover that took a Wednesday night April 20th, for our Lord resurrected on Saturday and early Sunday morning his body was resurrected as accuracy of delivery of the offering of first fruits, ie the risen body been and will be the example that our lives be taken as offering a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to our God, Jesus Christ was able to beat death, defeated the grave and rose and exhibited to the principalities and powers, triumphing over them in the Cross of Calvary!, the perfection of the Lord is amazing, is an example of spiritual life that we take. And while there are several errors of precision for us the final day of the feast of weeks has represented the birth of the Christian Church or Christ-centered, but hey, this will be discussed in detail on Sunday, so our approach this night should be: holiness, and sanctification as an indispensable element for spiritual growth as a key element to achieve the stature of the perfect man, holiness as an essential element for the gift of God and be baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire . Hence the thinking tonight about all of these elements but the main one that opens the door to our precious Lord, holiness, because he says Hebrews 12.14 "... no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12.22-24 few weeks ago, talking to the boys in Sunday school we studied about the basic principles to verify and substantiate each of the existing things in our three dimensional world, we understood that to prove the natural things we study the natural sciences, to try and understand the numbers and physics, we understand and study the mathematical sciences, and thus to demonstrate and understanding of spiritual mysteries, we must study the spiritual science, spiritual knowledge, divine knowledge and that is embodied in the holy scriptures, hence this passage (read Hebrews 12.22-24). Because to understand that we are entering a no earthly but spiritual atmosphere, a non-human but heavenly understanding and knowledge of spiritual things and not natural for holiness must begin, and consider that it is difficult to present in our mind such a scenario , heard last Sunday that many young girls dream of a certain age and play and make a world of princesses, children 90% does the same thing for football, but gradually the dreams and goals are changing, also in the spiritual realm, even if we define from beginning what is the scenario where we stand and where we go, our walk, our dreams and our goals would be different every day because every day we are renewed in Christ ... and day today tells us the word of God that we are come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, come to a heavenly Jerusalem is one goal, have a goal so where we stand now is not our place, not belong to where we stand as we are pilgrims, we are foreigners because our home is beyond the blue sky, there in the third heaven where our Lord lives, and we are not alone, says the writing that we are accompanied by many thousands of angels as Psalm 22 says that we sing angels sing around us praise and glory to our God "and not only them but also the congregation of the first already in the kingdom of heaven and the first born of the unique creatures wise God who deserves all glory, all honor and all the power you already understand where you stand? Well, the place is not where you will stay if you're stuck in Christ, as the place where you are is not where you belong, but better things, higher things terrible things you are waiting later, therefore not issues continues, Shed all the weight of all sin, break the chains break the shackles that oppress you in the name of Jesus, which is in the past is buried, do not live in the past but we continued the goal for the prize of high calling in Christ Jesus, for you are designed to fight, fight, win, reach the goal and if the goal today is to be filled with the presence of God, here is the first part, where you stand, will it be that you're in the mire of sin, the filth of this world will you live well with the world has embraced it for not let it go and you feel so comfortable that no longer remember that there is Jesus who gave his life for you, it will to get involved in things and get into places that corrupt your life?, or is it just in case you could not get out of the fight or the battle or maybe you had a rebuke from God and still succumb to the floor ?, Psalm 113 in the current version says: "He (JHWH) rises from the dust, the ashes to the humble and needy up manure, misery, to make them sit with princes and gives rise to important people" He raises the humble, who is in need of his presence, you and puts you up with the princes of his people. But he believes he will get up, be certain the conviction that he has rescued you when you live in humility and meekness; believe it, because it promises are YES and AMEN Do you believe? Excellent, we're there and not by works but by grace through believing in Jesus Christ, by faith, by hearing the Word and take it out and by the precious blood of the Sacrificial Lamb, Christ Jesus. Okay. What will you do while there? And remember we are talking about holiness and fail us embrace all that this represents. The word holiness in the OT was "qodesh or qadosh" in Hebrew or "Kadosh," which literally means: cutting, separation and consecration, ie everything in the Old Testament could be "qadosh qodesh or" all purpose, all circumstances every man could be separated and consecrated for divine worship, but in the NT the word is transformed by "hagios" which means pure, clean "with" dedication "to", because before sanctification was only separated and consecrated by blood or through appeal but is now clean and purified for a reason and that reason is to be united to Christ through his Spirit, by grace we are saved to be united to God that says 1 Corinthians 30.1 (read) " But he (YHWH) are ye in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, justification, sanctification, and redemption, "so the use and application of this spiritual knowledge, leads to a term theologically called" experimental holiness "and the only one who managed the perfection of holiness was experimental one: <The mancha> lamb, 'the man without pecado> the Word of God, Christ Jesus our Lord, but what is left to us? R: Find imitate him, because we will never achieve holiness identical, but what we can do is be a reflection of the glory and magnificence of God if we can be a mirror and says 2 Corinthians 3.18 , are changed into the same image , with open face beholding as in a mirror ... question: What side of the mirror reflects the light and the mirror is flowing light? A: The mirror must be on the right side, must be clean to reflect light from a luminous object (a light bulb, the sun, a star), but not the mirror of light flowing ... Prophecy is given all the psalms are all written, the words of Jesus are all embodied, we are not prophets or new, or new psalmist, no new illuminated, no new christs, that's what the emerging movement, which the new doctrines, which the new waves of thought have not understood that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever, have not understood that the doctrine is the Word of God abides forever, and these movements and these new doctrines deceive their followers and consumers, and believed so, so spiritual that limit the presence of the Holy Spirit and speak only pastors or just my buddies or just the beard and I follow my instructions are spiritual and there are others in your cults whip and need need need to jump and scream at all times and raise their hands saying "already broke the Spirit in me" (but who knows what manner of spirit speak), many others seem shakes or (changuitos of their dishes) or roll on the floor, NO! Luke 11.10-13 says, "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for bread, will give a stone? Or if you fish instead of fish, give him a serpent? Or if he asks for an egg, will give a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? "See says" I say only, only pastors, leaders only ? Says everyone who asks, looking, calling ... and the entire chapter 16 of John says, "whatever you ask the Father in my name (in the name of Jesus) He will give" so we understand that if we ask ... receive, if we ... find, if we call ... it will be opened in the name of Jesus ... not in the name of a pastor or a leader or a brother, not he or she who already knows all the Bible, prophecy and interpretation, no ... because God is sovereign, and the Holy Spirit is God and then the Spirit can fill out and baptize in his presence until a child can fill power to a toddler if He wanted it so, not by us, because we do not know how to pray, we have not asked yet, we searched, we have not called, many are still in the rudiments of the doctrine, many there to drag them to other should be loaded, when it should not be, because in writing found in Leviticus 20.26 "And ye saints to avail me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the nations to be mine." You will be as pure, consecrated, it will be clean "with" grace, has been cut for the LORD, for He is holy and has taken you and has chosen you and made you his name and in your face you have been sealed since the day I accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, and put the legend on your forehead that says: HOLY TO JHWH. For us, as theologians call to holiness is not experimental but the result of perfection into sin, because we are flesh, begotten in iniquity and endowed with the filth of our ancestors, but with the sacrifice of Christ now have a heart of flesh and not of stone, we now have a quickening spirit, not a living soul, we now have the renewing of our minds, not rot human prophetic interpretations, we have a new song and not a mediocre and repetitive praise ... by the power of the Holy Spirit Through communion with God in love, peace, truth, faith ... I do not understand a master teacher said, do not understand why we remain perverse, because we are evil, because we continue to keep pride and anger in our hearts. Why? I do not understand why. And to conclude I want to speak of two important passages found, searching the scriptures for this time when we speak of holiness, the first is in Exodus chapter 28.33-35 (read) The priests, who minister had to wear bells on the hem a special to distinguish if they were still alive ministering in the holy place and holy dead or had fallen, said that in the fringes, edges, a set of bells in the middle of the garment, fabric bell, bell fabric, to run the service on ministry in the past the kings of the East wore bells on their shores as a symbol of royalty, for the priests involved two things: that is holiness and consecration service since a day before lots were cast by Urim and Thummim to elect priests to minister, and Revelation says that God has made us kings and priests, then the servant takes bells, but not seen, heard, not seen ... for us is our gift, our service, our dedication to what must distinguish or not we are ministering ... not idle talk, not saying "here I am, look at me" "oh yeah Dio ... glory," the gift is executed, is not displayed, if you wear them shoes, if you gird girdle, if you have knowledge apply it, if you are a teacher teaches, if you're a pastor pastors, do not boast of saying "I am this or that" because it is metal and tinkling whited sepulcher, but in service must display the sound you have, because if those bells shut up means you're dead and have died to enter into the presence of God in uncleanness iniquity of falsehood ... your dead will you be tonight? Well if so you will have to come out and be consumed by fire, so says the apostle, "let a man examine himself ..." not going to try the brother or the pastor or the manager, everything is between you and God that no one knows the things of man except the spirit of man in it (and the omniscient God), and note that says spirit, no soul, invigorating spirit that is pruébense those who have received Jesus Christ into their hearts ... and the second passage Exodus 19.10-20 (read) in three days is shocking, is tremendous as the word of God do not have to block and force it, we must not misunderstand, because as verse 16 in the third day on Mount Zion there were thunder and lightning came, and came a thick cloud on the mountain and there was a touch of horn very strong and people are shocked ... I would say the patriarch Jacob, how terrible is this place is nothing but God and gate house the sky, so Ebenezer Coras so in 273, when the people praised the song says: down the Glory of God, so in this place in this church when those who are ministering in holiness, consecration down the glory of God and the scripture says in three days and I believe and I confess in the name of Jesus and see if this brother in sin and has no fear of God and prayer is not sanctified, nor come , because in three days we will see miracles and wonders if she is still pending with the world or with your family or your work or because God comes looking for committed people, spirits willing to spill their hearts the beautiful Divine Spirit if still holds a grudge, hatred, jealousy, strife, strife, wrath, or come or stay in the courts is because the Lord is looking for broken hearts, lives willing hands that come with the Pastor and tell here is my hand to grow, my arm to lean on and not remain a burden, a stone, an obstacle to pour God's power to see its wonders, its deeds and the saving power of his right hand, that's what the Lord God has called us to SANTO be of a town to be part of the riches of His glory, to contemplate his power, to receive his Spirit Beautiful ... There are still many things to say, that at the last day of the feast of weeks, and the first day of the Christian Church had unity, they were praying together in harmony in homes and in the Temple, sanctify the people, who is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, holy still ... For our God is a consuming fire. Psalm 99 . AMEN |
