SERIES : Living in Christ | Viviendo en Cristo - Pastor Daniel Sandovial Podcast 99 Parte 2 A

Are you ready? So let's open up our Bibles to

the book of John 14 and we're gonna go there.

We're in a season we're learning how to live

in the Lord. We're in a moment of metamorphosis.

In other words, we could express it this way.

We're in the school of the Lord. Look at the

person next to you and tell him, we're in the

school of the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord in

this season, He's transforming the church. He's

taking us by our hands. And he is teaching us

on how to walk with him, how to see the way he

sees, and how to see ourselves. And what I see

is that the Spirit of the Lord is being intentional

to prepare us as the bride. One thing is an expression

as the church. Another thing is an expression

as the bride. The book of Revelation says, It

expresses to us that there is a moment where

the bride and the spirit are so united. It says

that the Spirit and the bride in unison, they

say come. So there is a moment of a transformation

of metamorphosis. And I believe that the Spirit

of the Lord has started that metamorphosis to

to prepare us as the bride. And look at the person

next to you and tell them you are the bride.

And tell the person you are called to be glorious.

The bride of the Lord is a glorious bride. He

comes for the one whom he's married to. He's

already married to you. He already... enter into

covenant with you. He's committed to you. So

the Spirit of the Lord has the responsibility

to prepare us as the bride. I'm now wearing this

walk with Him. So the Spirit of the Lord is working

in us. And one of the ways in which He does this

is that He begins to execute and to give us understanding

of the perfect work on the cross. How on the

cross only Christ forgave us, He didn't just

forgive us, but He also tore the veil, to allow

us to give us access to Him. Access not only

to His heart, but also to a divine communion.

and within that we deposit our faith in the person

of Christ Jesus us deposited in our faith in

the person of Christ. We are revived in Him.

We are born again in Him. Say with me, I am born

again. And the Spirit of the Lord is teaching

us to be born again, again. Because again, He's

teaching us things What happened and what happens

when we are in Christ? So the seed of God, when

we deposit our faith in God, and I'm going to

put a stop here, because it's not that in your

own effort you believe in the Lord. The Lord

is the one who does the work in everything. He

gives you the grace to believe in Him. He gives

you faith to believe in Him. So it's not you

that believes. It's Him giving you the grace

so you can see Him, so you can believe in Him,

so you can embrace Him, and deposit the faith

that He Himself gave you, and you deposit it

in Him. He begins a complete work. The work with

Him is never independent from Him. Because you

need of God to know God. It takes God to know

God. Say amen please. That's why men cannot teach

you about God. Only he himself can reveal himself

and teach it. That's about Him. That's why it

was necessary for Jesus to come to earth. The

only begotten Son is God made man, walking among

men, revealing that He is God, revealing who

God is for men that didn't know Him. That's why

Jesus Christ is so important. That's why your

focus should be to get to know Him. Everything

else is extra. The gifts, the talents, that's

extra. The ministry, wisdom, that's extra. The

favor, the grace, that's extra. The blessing

is also extra. It's Him. We are blessed because

of Him. We are blessed because we know Him. Because

we walk with Him. Because we're learning from

Him. Say amen, please. You're not blessed because

of the things that you do. You're not blessed

because of the job you have. That job, He gave

it to you. Health, He gave it to you. Wisdom,

He gave it to you. Understanding, He gave it

to you. The air that you breathe, He gave it

to you. He gives you everything. Are we here?

That was the key. So all our being is His. And

when He died on the cross, the scripture says

that we were crucified with Him. And when he

died, we also died with him. And when he resurrected,

we also resurrected with Christ. And when he

ascended to heaven, he also packaged us with

him. So now we're learning. And religion is falling

down. So we're being transformed. We're being

reformed according to his truth. And the goal

is to be made. conform to His image. So in this

school, say with me, the school of the Lord,

we're being re -identified. Christ is being introduced

to us once again through the Spirit of God. We're

being re -identified. Because we thought that

God was so far away from us, but the reality

is that He is in us and we are in Him. And He's

relocating us into the correct place. And this

can only be done through the Holy Spirit. And

this is John 14 verse 26. Tell the person next

John 14:26

to you, get ready. Tell the person, do not get

me distracted. Don't talk to me. I want to learn.

And tell the person, take notes. It's not enough

to just listen to a message one time. It's to

listen to it, to touch it, to hear it, to...

To see it, to touch it. John 14 verse 26. But

John 14:26

the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father

will send in my name, he will teach you all things

and bring to your remembrance all things that

I have said to you. There we are in his school.

He's teaching us. We are learning that we are

in the Lord. So let's put some foundation. 2

Corinthians 5, 17. How many of you brought your

Bibles? If you brought it, you can lift it up.

If you didn't bring it, it's okay, but I encourage

you to go and buy a Bible. Therefore if anyone

is in Christ, he is a new creation. All things

have passed away Behold all things have become

new. So the scripture says right here that we're

in Christ That we're a new creation and that

speaks of a new birthing So being in Christ gives

us a new birth We're sealed in him, and he is

in us. And that's in John 1420, and you can read

that later. So it's important for us to know

the image of the one where we are. What is his

likeness? The beautiful thing is this is documented

in the Gospels. Because you can see there how

Christ lived. He expresses perfectly Dad. And

He is the perfect expression of our Father. So

all His way of being, it was Him revealing who

God is. So the important thing here is to know

His essence. That if we are in Him, so that means

that His essence is working in us. With who God

is. Say with me, who God is. So when we see,

when we say who God is, we're talking about his

essence and his image and likeness. So the first

thing that the Bible says, who God is, that is

important for us to have, God is spirit. Juan,

chapter 4, verse 24. And this is John 4, 24.

You ready to learn today? Juan 4, 24, dice la

Escritura. Dice, Dios es que... Vamos, ayúdeme.

Dios es que... Él no tiene espíritu. Él es espíritu.

So it says, God is spirit. He is... He does not

have spirit. He is spirit. Dice... And those

who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

This is Jesus Himself, His own words. So here

He's expressing, revealing His Father, He says,

He is Spirit. And you and I were also spirit,

spirit, soul, and body. But also the same spirit

that resurrected Jesus from the dead, he lives

in us. Let that sink in a moment. The same spirit

with the one that Jesus Christ walked with, that

same likeness is in you. Everyone who has deposited

their faith in Christ. So the first thing, God

is spirit, that's his essence. Say with me, his

essence. He's the spirit. Number two. He is one.

Deuteronomy chapter four, verse 31. Deuteronomy

four. Deuteronomy 4, Versículo 31. Deuteronomy

4, 31. ¿Qué dice la Escritura? Let's read it

real quick. Is it up there? Okay. Dice, ¿Porque

Dios Misericordioso es Jehová, tu Dios, no te

dejará ni te destruirá, ni se olvidará? Is that

the correct verse? 431? Is that the correct verse?

For 21? I said 31, yes. But that's not the verse.

Say with me, God is one. Let's look it up. God

is one. How did I mess it up so much? Okay, Deuteronomy

6 -4. Okay, Deuteronomy 6 -4. Muchas gracias.

Deuteronomy 6 -4. Yes, it is. Dice, Oye, Israel,

nuestro, Jehovah, nuestro Dios, Jehovah, que

dice uno es. Diga conmigo, uno es. Eso es parte

de su esencia. Say, say, okay. Hear, O Israel,

the Lord our God, the Lord is one. The Lord is

one. How is, how many is he? One. So in the mind

of God, there is no separation between them.

His essence is one. His Father, His Son, and

Spirit. None of them work independently. But

all work as one. His essence is unity. His essence

is one. That's why when Christ, in John 17, he

prays to the Father, he says, Father, make them

one as you and I are one. I in you, you in me.

and us in them. Like he's saying, because as

we are in our essence, make them as well. Introduce

them in the same essence we are. So how is God?

He's one. So when we speak of one, the other

one is not absent. The Bible says that God was

in Christ reconciling the world. There was no

separation. They were always together. And He

introduced us to that unity, where we are one

with Him. And from that posture, God operates.

Genesis 1, let's make man according to our image

and likeness. He would work together. Everything

he did, he would do it together. When Jesus was

baptized, the heavens were opened. It's not that

in that moment the Father spoke. The Father had

already spoken through an angel through the life

of man. It was not that the Spirit of God appeared

for the first time. The Spirit of God had already

covered Mary so she would get pregnant in Jesus.

They all work together. They say with me, they

work together in everything. And you and I are

in the same place. God does not work independent

from you. And we're not supposed to work independently

from God. That's why we're supposed to walk according

to His Word. That's why we're supposed to grow

in the Lord. To walk in the fear of the Lord.

That all of the Lord may come over our lives.

That we never want to be independent from God.

That was the fall from... Lucifer's fall, because

he wanted to be independent, he wanted to be

like God. But God made space and He introduced

us into Him, because just as we are, you will

be in me and me and i and you and we will walk

together say amen please that's what the bible

says about living in him let's go there quickly

act 17 verse 25 if i could have the worship team

in about two minutes Yes, not 25. So Acts 17?

I'm all over the place today. I had a coffee

before I came here and I never do that. So I'm

all over the place. So it is in the Bible and

we're going to find it. The Bible says for we

live in Him and we move in Him and we exist in

Him. So in this aspect of having our being is

what the Lord is teaching us. He's teaching us

how to live in Him. Say with me, I'm going to

learn how to live in Him. So we're gonna go to

Acts 17, 28. For in Him we live and move and

have our being. Say with Him, in Him we live,

in Him we move, and we have our being. And this

is what the Lord is teaching us today, how to

live in Him. So to live in Him, we need to understand

how He is. Are we here? So we know that He is

spirit. We just now learned that. We know that

He is one. He doesn't do anything independent

from Him. He is inseparable, eternally united.

And in that same union, So here we're going to

learn how to live in Him. So what other aspect

is God? There are many, but I'm going to give

you two. God is love. First John, chapter 1,

1 John 1:5

verse 5. And this is chapter 1, 5. So this is

Isaiah 1 · chapter mention

1 John 1 5. This is the message which we have

heard from him and declared to you that God is

light and in him there is no darkness at all.

Say with me he is also light. And let's continue

reading. Let's go to 1 John chapter 4. Verse

1 John 4 · chapter mention

seven. So first John four, seven. Go ahead. This

is first John 4 verse 7. has manifested was manifested

1 John 4:7

toward us that God has sent his only begotten

son into the world that he might be that he may

live through him so God is help me out God is

what all his essence all who he is is love and

take note of this God doesn't do anything outside

love Everything that God does, He does it out

of love. So He doesn't do anything outside love.

And everything that He does, He does it through

love. The greatest power over the earth is love.

You don't believe that. In fact, the power of

God is manifested because of love. There are

aspects of miracles that will only happen when

you minister in love. Everything that Christ

did, every miracle, every healing, every deliverance,

every word. When he gave his life, everything,

when he washed the feet of the disciples, when

he resurrected Lazarus, everything he did, he

did it out of love. He did it out of his own

substance, which is love. Say with me, love.

Being in Him, so being in Him and living in Him,

we have to understand that God wants to work

His love in us. That the aspect of love goes

from being mental reality to something real in

our lives that his substance of love thus the

transforming substance for man is his love. In

fact, his goodness is manifested through love.

His power is manifested through His love. That's

why power outside of love is dangerous. Authority

outside of love is dangerous. Correction outside

of love is dangerous. If you correct outside

love, you're going to produce a rebel. Love is

a substance. It's who God is. He is filled with

love. He is oozing love all over. But His love

doesn't mean that He tolerates everything. His

love protects us. His love sustains us. His love

made Christ come to earth. Because in such a

way, He loved the Lord, loved the world, that

He sent His only Son, so you and I would not

perish, but we would have eternal life. You cannot

minimize and cultivate your own righteousness

when you think that you already know about love.

His love is incomprehensible. His love is out

of our reach of understanding. He just simply

loves. And you are in Him. And He's cultivating

that in you. So you can be the same as Him. That

you simply love. Even though they speak bad about

you. You love. You're so blessed. And say Amen

please. Jesus said bless your enemies. Love your

enemies. Why? Because that is His essence. That's

who He is. There there is a real transformation

in you. Because His love is being worked in you.
