This is the promise that a state Supreme holiness can be the mirror of God's glory, 2 Corinthians 3.18 says, "face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed from glory to glory in the same image, as the Spirit of the Lord, "this is the true and faithful witness of God's promises are fulfilled in your life have their final revelation and manifestation in your life a consecrated life, stripped of the mundane chores, thrown in the tender arms of Jesus ... this is the highest degree, the maximum we can achieve on earth, the transformation transfigural where the spirit is superior to the flesh, where the power of the glory and magnificence of God's life to be sanctified has the highest occupancy, where God has its full splendor in life, where there are no gaps or any thought of the world or evil or matter, where Christ Jesus bore witness of his life, his holiness, his essence, his deity.

This is the highlight has to manifest in this life or the touch of the last trump ...

Matthew 17.1-9

I dream that one day this people will rise up and put into practice the true meaning of its creed; dream that one day those who were once slaves of sin and we sit at the table of brotherhood; dream that one day the states that are consumed by oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice dream that one day "every valley shall be exalted and every mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be raided and crooked paths will be straightened, and all flesh shall see the manifestation of the Glory the Lord. " I dream that someday "the right to run like water and righteousness as a permanent stream."

With these biblical quotations culminating speech of Mr. Martin Luther King, which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in his time and that made him an icon of the struggle for Afro-American American, was later killed, that was its most important moment, that was its peak the state achieve that speech "I dream".

It is believed that finite man has many possibilities and arguments to succeed, it was believed that man has the capacity to grow, to do good to excel; humanly many misrepresent the fact momentary success with happiness, as many earthly satisfactions looking to fill an empty life and sometimes nonsensical, for many this is their full (if they had to unbelievers a definition of that word) for them this is their happiness.

I have long considered and studied in a very personal this supernatural fact that you were the person of our Lord Jesus Christ is the peak for the believer apart and consecrated to God can be achieved to reach a point higher than the fullness, the peak of holiness on earth.

True, the road is hard, a journey that begins with the salvation that leads to maturity of the believer to develop the fruit of the spirit and thus achieve spiritual gifts is no true adversity and struggles and pains and problems, but bigger is God Love is the greatest, especially when it comes to these levels as developed will reach the fullness and the top spot, the extreme point that our Lord Jesus gave us the example being in this flesh, this world is called Transfiguration.

For many exegetes true for many real teachers and theologians that was a fact that only accounted for the most saintly person, purer, truer, more loving to walk on the face of this planet and the story went and took a different tack and though many have called me stubborn and opinionated about firmly believe and confess the words of my Master "... he that believeth in me all these things done and will do greater works than these ..." and I believe and preach and reflect that.

I can speak of three important events: the context, the fact and the spiritual and earthly meaning, and hope not to bore them and above all be a blessing.

In the last part of Jesus' ministry was devoted to train his disciples, he left teaching crowds of thousands or hundreds of people by teaching more intimate, closer to his disciples, his servants, his friends, they taught the imperative of giving his life to win the kingdom of heaven Matthew 16.24-26 . While at Caesarea Philippi the impetuous Peter reproached the Lord saying "do not die, none of this will happen" and the Lord rebuked him and made the difference between those sympathetic to Christianity are perhaps saved and who are their servants, their friends, their instruments of power, "... why I will win the world and lose my soul?" the divine teacher taught his friends to go as sheep among wolves, taught that He (Jesus) fulfilled the Torah and prophecies, and thus the scripture is abrogated but the word of God abides forever, taught how to get out devils, miracles, discerning of spirits, so great and perfect was the instruction to return to discipleship many marveling they even said "... even the demons submit to us ..." what Jesus said: "Do not rejoice that the demons were subject rather rejoice that your names are written in the Book of Life."

Lucas says that eight days passed, Matthew and Mark say that six to supernatural happened after that event and precise instructions to the disciples were clearer, clearer, stronger, sometimes took a hand into his inner circle ( Peter, James and John) and took them to pray, instructed them in prayer as the most effective and powerful to come into the presence of our heavenly Father. Luke 9.28-29 when does the appearance of the face of Jesus made another? At what point became white and shining garments of Jesus? A: In the prayer. Because through prayer break down walls and break the chains and shackles of sin and death.

And then one glorious say verses 2 and 3 of Chapter 17 of Matthew theologically binds the connection between the Old and New Testaments, and a relationship is established by the Shekinah accompanied by the powerful voice of Heavenly Father and icons of the old covenant (the instrument of the law and the representation of Prophecy). Recall that the cloud that guided the people of Israel during the day and the pillar of fire by night was the Shekinah JHWH, the very presence of God as manifested in the Old Testament made the earth tremble for power and power uncontrollable of Almighty God. And the connection of the old covenant was manifested in people of Moses and Elijah, two guests of honor those who were taken from their bodies and represent the fulfillment of the Old Covenant is not discarded but glorious fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ the author of a new covenant and together form a very special status of compliance divine state of spiritual wholeness ground, a sublime state of spiritual manifestation in the material realm, also because this is also the covenant of the Spirit over the earth because He also bears witness because the Spirit is the truth and says 1 John 5.11 "And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son." This event has its own confirmation later in Gethsemane with the same three disciples with a heavenly manifestation and the divine element of prayer ... all, all prepared to sacrifice the high, ready to fulfill God's purpose, all ready to fulfill everything written in the law, all prophesied and lived by the second divine person of the Trinity, the Word of God, the light that came into this world.

One of the most tremendous lesson here is the relationship of suffering to come and present and future glory of Jesus is the main element, is the same kind of suffering of the believer: a present suffering but then redemption and future glory of author of salvation. Another important lesson is part of the mountain, some believe it was Mount Tabor, but many say it was Mount Hermon which would be more accurate to point out, first of all by what it represents: a time of retreat, renewal a time of spiritual preparation, a time where God empowers sharp in the mind ... many of us have had those experiences when we are away from the stresses of the routine of the setbacks of daily life for a time of fellowship with our Creator with our Master, and these experiences are so beautiful that often do not want to return to reality, is so special so powerful that we would remain there contemplating the beauty of our Lord, living the blessing of the Holy Spirit is poured upon us and want it to be endless ... But the basic principle is: "... get up, go to the field and there talk with thee ..." and that was at that moment, God spoke to the common man represented by the disciples, fulfilling the Word of God fulfilled in the person of Elijah and Moses ... God's presence represented in the endowment promised glorious Christ Jesus, but part of teaching here is: How did you get the blessing? You have to minister to others with blessing, God will give time, but you can not have something that the Eternal Spirit has given you, you have to share, you have to minister! In the field or on top of the hill you can feel like a giant full knowledge of God, and you can be, but must return to minister and be a blessing, otherwise you will be a giant-dwarf, "giant" because you have the knowledge but " dwarf "because selfishness and arrogance surpassed the blessing that God gave you. So it is here, when they take the time to devote to our God you are coming to the mountains, living in the bush, have been placed on a high rock and upon return to their daily lives must demonstrate by deeds and words who have been in the very presence of God. AM Ramsey theologian commented this event as "the mirror that reflects the mystery of Christian unity, the moment where the old and new testament are inseparable, that the time will come the glory of God is here that our Human nature has a destiny of glory, Christ is proclaimed in the final word and that only in Jesus and through Jesus the heavenly Father is well pleased. "

Shapeshifter-Transfiguration, Transformation, will be equal to <nunca more out of it and said holy lugar> a wonderful song sung in this holy place have they been equal to their lives? Have undergone a transformation, an evolution?

This is the highlight has to manifest in this life or the final sound of the trumpet, it will be caught and will be changed in the blink of an eye, with a glorified body, and while we suffer in this life, and although this life we know that there riches in glory we have our house. And if before and if God wanted to take away and transform as Enoch or Elijah, know that they too were men subject to like passions with ourselves, but that changed their lives was the communion, commitment to God, prayer with God.

Let me conclude with the most important use of verses 6 and 7 of the disciple of the Apostle Peter, Mark, Chapter 9 that says, "I did not know what he was saying because they were scared. Then came a cloud overshadowing them, and from the cloud a voice said: This is my beloved Son, hear ye, "the Evangelist Luke describes in v.34, c.9" ... there was a cloud that covered, and they were terrified to enter the cloud "and the Evangelist Matthew wrote C.17 v.5-6" ... a cloud overshadowed them and a voice from the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have pleasure hear him. When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were sore afraid "and I interpret this: Exodus 33.18-23 So Eben-Ezer happens when you pray ... put your hand over your eyes and still with eyes closed with all Faith, with all confidence, all your mind and heart on that CREA is mountain, you think you are on that rock because there the Lord will speak to you ... and if you want to rebel like me, tell them your servant Moses: "If thy presence go not with me, get me out of here" and stick to that blessing and as the Patriarch says, "Do not leave unless you bless me" and believe in the name of Jesus that God responds by saying: " ... I know you by your name and you have found favor in my eyes "and find grace through prayer and strength to take your heart and let your spirit through prayer, because God is love, and rest in Him because He here.

Then begins the transfiguration, so begins the metarmorfó which is what changes men and women need, men and women seeking yearning wanting more of God, they need an answer, they want to change the course of their lives, in need of comfort there in prayer is the answer. It happened to Anne (mother of Samuel), happened to Mary (mother of Jesus) came to Solomon, David Moses, the disciples at the darkest moment, a shadow covered them as a veil, a hand, when a shadow was set before them, when they were afraid, came and said, powerful glory of God, when everything was dark, when there was shade, when we do not know where to go because there is darkness all they did was tilt his serve, humble life and deliver a contrite heart and God's response was quick. Because He loves you too as AMA.

On that day those men they were removed the bandages from his eyes, and was revealed to them the very glory of God, and now you know that this mountain is here.

AMEN
