To bring health. Matthew 3 verse 11. It's pretty
-
crazy whenever you read Luke 12, Jesus says,
-
I've been wanting to set this whole entire earth
-
on fire. He says, I want my fire burn all over
-
the earth. Because his fire is not for destruction.
-
It's for restoration of his people. It's for
-
judgment of all demons and principalities. But
-
it's for healing for the believers. Matthew 3,
-
verse 11. Those who repent, I baptize with water.
-
I'm going to read out of the passion. Those who
-
repent, I will baptize with water. But there
-
comes a man after me, speaking of Jesus, who
-
is more powerful than I. In fact, I'm not even
-
worthy enough to pick up his sandals. He will
-
submerge you into union with the Spirit of holiness
-
and raging with raging fire. And then he immediately
-
says, he comes with a winning fork. in his hand
-
and it comes and comes to the threshing floor
-
to sift what is worthless to sift what is worthless
-
from what is pure and he is ready to sweep out
-
his threshing floor gather his wheat into his
-
granary but the straw he will burn up with the
-
fire that can't be extinguished. So he's saying
-
This is John the Baptist. I baptize in water,
-
but there's one that's coming. His name is Jesus.
-
He's going to baptize us in His Holy Spirit and
-
raging fire. And that raging fire is going to
-
burn off because He's going to separate what
-
is His and what is not His. I believe that we've
-
entered into that season. 1 Peter chapter 1 verse
-
3. Can I have the worship team, please? 1 Peter
-
1 3. It says, blessed be the God and Father of
-
our Lord Jesus Christ. According to his great
-
mercy. He has caused us to be born again say
-
with me born again To a living hope through the
-
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead To
-
an inheritance that is imperishable undefiled
-
and unfading kept in heaven for you Para una
-
herencia incorruptible, incontaminada, inimar
-
sensible, reservada en los cielos para vosotros.
-
Who by God's grace are being guarded through
-
faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in
-
the last time. Porque sois guardados por el poder
-
de Dios mediante la fe para alcanzar la salvación
-
que está preparada para ser manifestada en el
-
tiempo postrero. In this you rejoice. Though
-
now for a little while if necessary you have
-
been grieved by various trials So that the tested
-
genuineness of your faith more precious than
-
gold that perishes through it is tested by fire
-
May be found to result in praise and glory and
-
honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ So what
-
is being tested by fire? Our faith. Though you
-
have not seen him, you love him. Though you do
-
not see him, you believe in him and rejoice with
-
joy that is inexpressible. and filled with glory
-
obtaining the outcome of your faith the salvation
-
of your souls second corinthians 4 verse 16 say
-
with me the fire of god El fuego de Dios no va
-
a irse hasta que tenga mi corazón. Y una vez
-
que tenga mi corazón, va a quemar aún más. 2
-
Corinthians 4 verse 16. So we do not lose heart.
-
Though our outer self is wasting away our inner
-
self is being renewed day by day for the light
-
momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal
-
weight of glory beyond all comparison as We look
-
not into the things that are seen but the things
-
that are unseen for the things that are seen
-
are transcendent But the things that are unseen
-
are eternal Por tanto no desmayamos aunque este
-
nuestro hombre exterior se ve desgastado el interior
-
no obstante se renueva de día en día porque esta
-
leve tribulación mantiene momentánea produce
-
en nosotros cada vez más excelente y eterno peso
-
de gloria no mirando nosotros las cosas que se
-
ven sino las cosas que no se ven pues las cosas
-
que se ven son temporales pero las que no se
-
ven son eternas Trials and tribulations will
-
become normal. This is why you have to get accustomed
-
to the fire. The bride doesn't want to hear this.
-
And you have to be very cautious. See, your walk
-
with Christ was never to be different than his
-
walk. He went through suffering. We got to go
-
through suffering. See, where's the amen? He
-
went through trials. Where do we have to go through?
-
Trials. Okay, let me bring a bigger perspective.
-
Whether you're a believer or not, you're going
-
to go through suffering. You're going to go through
-
trials. You're going to go through problems.
-
It's better to go through it with Him. And know
-
that He is with you. Know how to find Him in
-
the middle of those things. Know how to suffer
-
with Him. How to persevere with Him. How to allow
-
Him to work in your heart. Because there has
-
to be a moment in our life where those trials
-
actually become joy. Rejoice! When you go through
-
trials, and you go through tribulations, rejoice.
-
But how am I going to rejoice? Why am I going
-
to rejoice? Because He is forming His character
-
in me. Because He's already made a way out. Because
-
He's already opened the heavens. Because He is
-
with me. Because not everything is lost. Because
-
He's the God who makes things possible when they
-
are impossible. Because He makes a way where
-
there is no way. Because He gives opportunities
-
when no one else gives opportunities. Because
-
you serve a living God. A God that already went
-
through suffering. Went through trials. Went
-
through problems. He said, I am the way. I am
-
the truth. I am the life. Stop trying to avoid
-
problems. They're going to be coming at you.
-
Pastor, are you cursing me? Absolutely not. What
-
I am doing is enabling you. I am empowering.
-
I'm giving you wisdom. So when you see those
-
trials and tribulations come, you know how to
-
face them. You know how to go through them. You
-
won't be entangled by them. You won't be yielded
-
to them. But you will find the Lord in the middle
-
of that problem, in the middle of that tribulation,
-
in the middle of that circumstance, and faith
-
will arise because you're not a coward. You are
-
not a coward. You are not a coward. You're not
-
going to run from problems. You know that that
-
giant is there. It is set up by God because it's
-
trying to stop you to get to the other side.
-
But every giant is tailor -made to you. So church.
-
Cultivate the fire. Receive the fire. Endure
-
in the fire. Let Him cultivate His image in you.
-
He didn't just want to baptize you with His Spirit,
-
but now that aspect of the fire is coming out.
-
Because what the world needs today is men and
-
women that love the Lord, that can model what
-
it looks like when we are on fire for the Lord.
-
Because you're not lukewarm. You're not called
-
to walk with one foot in the world and one foot
-
with God. No, the Holy Spirit wants you all in.
-
Everything or nothing. All or nothing. Say with
-
me, all or nothing. All or nothing. And so we
-
run to the fire. We are men and women of the
-
fire. Men and women of the spirit. Ministers
-
of fire says the book of Psalms. This is you.
-
This is what you're called for. Not to heat up
-
that chair. Not to come on a Sunday. Not only
-
to put your Christianese outfit on a Sunday.
-
No, that's not you. I know that that's not you.
-
You're called to walk with the Lord. Burn for
-
him. Love him. Say amen, please. And if you're
-
getting offended, well, there's a controlled
-
fire right there for you. Deal that with the
-
Lord. Submit that to the Lord. Let him burn off
-
everything that's making you feel uncomfortable.
-
We're not called to walk with God halfway. He
-
didn't give you a half salvation. He didn't forgive
-
half of your sins. He didn't break off half of
-
your curses. He went all in. Everything. I want
-
her. I want my bride. I lay down my life. All
-
or nothing. And so the bride has to respond the
-
same way. All or nothing. I don't want to be
-
lukewarm. It's walking in the fire of God. There's
-
something about the fire. Just a few of you guys
-
would get lit up on this. And everyone else is
-
like charcoal. With just one that gets lit. Just
-
one. And I know that there's more than one. But
-
just one. So if you don't feel like you're walking
-
in that fire, you gotta get close to those that
-
are in the fire. So that that flame of the Lord
-
come and catches you. So that you can be lit
-
up for Him. And you can burn for Him. That you
-
would end this year strong. That you would end
-
this year strong. And go into 2026, burning for
-
the Lord. With a vision for the Lord. Moving
-
forward with the Lord. Understanding that God
-
has something greater for you. Last verse. Hosea
Hosea 10 chapter mention
-
chapter 10. Verse 12. Last verse, we end with
-
this. Lift up your hand and say, Lord. Say, Lord.
-
Intensify your fire. Come on, say intensify that
-
fire. Ignite that fire. Burn off all the areas
-
in my life that are not in communion with you,
-
that are not in alignment with you. Burn it off.
-
Burn it off. Burn it off. Come on, I want to
-
be one with you. Hosea 10 verse 12, I'm going
-
to read out of the Amplified. It says, so with
-
the view of righteousness, that righteousness,
-
light seed, may germinate, reap in accordance
-
with mercy and loving kindness. break up your
-
uncultivated ground he's telling you partner
-
with me let's break up that land that's not cultivated
-
that land that hasn't given any fruits let's
-
break it together Because the next, it continues
-
to say, for it is time to seek and search diligently
-
for the Lord. And to long for His blessing until
-
He comes to reign righteousness and His gift
-
of salvation. So the Lord says, change your perspective.
-
Change the way you're seen. Change your perspective.
-
I want that place where you are at right now.
-
That place that's hard for you to give to me
-
right now. It's not in right standing with me.
-
It's unjust. It is out of alignment with me.
-
So so... with a view of righteousness. Work that
-
uncultivated land in you. Let my fire come and
-
burn those areas. Controlled fire. To burn off
-
that, to replenish, to prepare the land. So this
-
way rain of righteousness can come. I thank you
-
for your heart. I hear the Lord say thank you
-
for giving me your heart. But I want all of it.
-
Not just a little bit. All of it. So your insecurities,
-
your anxiousness, your pain. Your trauma, your
-
rejection, your fears, all of this other stuff
-
that is still there, that you're still having
-
communion with. Give it to me. Let my flames
-
of love, thank Jesus, because this fire is an
-
expression of intense love. So, His flames of
-
intense love burn off all those things, all of
-
those areas, all of those aspects to restore
-
you, to renew you. There's a grace for this.
-
You tell me, Pastor, this is me. The Lord just
-
spoke to me. I need to deal with these things
-
in my heart. On the count of three. I don't know
-
if it's unforgiveness. I have no idea what it
-
is. On the count of three. Stand to your feet.
-
One, two, three. Quickly stand to your feet.
-
Just lift up your hands. We're going to pray.
-
See this fire is for preparation of glory. The
-
bride will be glorious. He's preparing her to
-
be glorious. So lift up your hands. Lord, we
-
partner with you.
