-
Learn to be loved. And this is found when we
-
learn to live in Him. He is pure love. I want
-
to see you in that posture, where you see a sour
-
-faced person, and you express the love of God
-
to them, to a point where they feel uncomfortable.
-
What's wrong with him? Why is he expressing so
-
much love? It's because Christ is working in
-
him. The Spirit of God is working in him. Say,
-
man, please. You know what this is going to do?
-
This is going to expose the flesh in the church.
-
But it's gonna give love to pray for them. And
-
also to have mercy in us. What does it mean to
-
live in Him? We will know our true identity.
-
The bride will begin to be transformed. Revelation
-
19. Verse 7 and 8. It's hot. Cold. Get near to
-
the fire then, because it's hot. You're hot too,
-
right? I got a witness already. Cool. Pastor
-
is not pastor's age. Revelation 19 verse 7. Let
-
us be glad and rejoice and give him glory for
-
the marriage of the lamb has come and his wife
-
has made herself ready. This revelation has to
-
enter the body so that the church can then be
-
prepared. Imagine, the closer you are to the
-
heart of God, the more Jesus is going to want
-
to be with you. The more you're going to want
-
to be with him. And the more you're going to
-
prepare. Number five, while living in Christ,
-
Say with me, in him we live. Number five. We
-
will live free of all condemnation, all shame,
-
and all guiltiness. Say amen, please. Romanos
-
8 -1. Are you ready? Romanos 8 -1. put it up
-
there please Oh, there is therefore now no condemnation
-
to those who are in who in Christ Jesus. Those
-
who are in Christ Jesus have been redeemed, have
-
been washed, have been purified, justified in
-
Christ. Say amen please. And there's no condemnation
-
because you are in Christ. He continues to work
-
in you, but in him is a perfect work. He already
-
completed it. You're completed in him. But now
-
you're working it. Now he's working it so that
-
it can be manifested. Here it goes again. There
-
is therefore now no condemnation. No condemnation
-
to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk
-
according to what? To the flesh, but according
-
to the spirit. It's time to be living free of
-
condemnation. Free of shame. Free of guiltiness.
-
You are in Christ. Kept in Christ. In communion
-
with Christ. In Christ. His spirit is in you.
-
You are the temple. And he is the bigger temple.
-
There's no condemnation. Pastor, but I sinned.
-
Well, then repent. Those who confess their sins.
-
He is just and true to forgive them. He justified
-
you. He made you His own righteousness. He gave
-
you a new form. Now you are in such a way that
-
he wants you to be. It's not that you can leave
-
him and then come back in. You are in Christ.
-
Can I have the worship to you? Say with me, I
-
am in Christ. And there's no condemnation. So
-
it doesn't matter what the man wants to tell
-
you. What your sister or your brother want to
-
tell you. It doesn't matter what they come to
-
murmur. But if I am in righteousness with the
-
Lord, there's no condemnation. Christ fights
-
for me. I don't have to defend myself. He himself
-
defends me. He says mine is the vengeance. Stay
-
right there. Don't worry. I will fight for you.
-
Mine is the vengeance. It's not yours, leave
-
it to me. He is our advocate. And he is the judge.
-
He comes to judge our enemy. And then he comes
-
to make us righteous. There's no condemnation.
-
Say with me, there's no condemnation. How was
-
it when you were walking in religion? Oh, I sinned.
-
What do I have to do now? I have to work to see
-
if God is pleased with my sacrifice. No, it's
-
just that it's not your sacrifice anymore. It's
-
that there's already a sacrifice. One sacrifice
-
forever. And it's the sacrifice of Christ Jesus.
-
And he himself placed you in him. So that whenever
-
you're wrong, you confess your sin. And his sacrifice...
-
is more than enough to forgive you time and time
-
again. And he makes you righteous. Please say
-
amen. Number six. The Spirit of God begins to
-
form the image of Christ in us. When you're in
-
Him, He is working Himself in you. He is putting
-
of Himself in you. How am I, how do I remain
-
in Him? Worshiping, mindful of Him. My entire
-
day I'm thinking of the Lord. How good he is.
-
How merciful he is. How gracious he is. How loving
-
he is. How he is with me. How is he with my children.
-
He maintains with a tender heart. He keeps me
-
with a tender heart. Number seven, because you
-
are in Him and you live in Him, you are also
-
seated in heavenly places with Him. Ephesians
-
2 .6. Ephesians 2 .6. I'm almost done. I want
-
you to learn what it means to be in Him. This
-
is what Holy Spirit desires. And raised us up
-
together with Him, in Him. and made us sit together
-
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So when
-
Jesus sits down, you also sit down. When Jesus
-
reigns, you also reign. When Jesus heals, you
-
also heal. It's not you. It's Christ who placed
-
you in him. And now it's him working through
-
you. You're not a miracle worker. It's him. It's
-
his grace. It's his power. He uses you. And glory
-
to God for that. But it's not your power. It's
-
not your wisdom. It's not your grace. It's all
-
Him. It all comes from Him. Everything flows
-
from Him. He's divine. His substance flows through
-
us. Say, man, please. Number eight. Because we
-
live in Him, now His wisdom, His righteousness,
-
His holiness, His redemption works through us
-
and begins perfecting us. 1 Corinthians chapter
-
1 verse 30. But of him you are in Christ. Say
-
with me, in Christ. And what does it say? Read
-
it with me. from god and righteousness and sanctification
-
and redemption verse 31 that as it is written
-
he who glories let him glory in the lord so because
-
we're in him We have access to his mind. He gave
-
us his mind. His wisdom now should flow through
-
our lives. There comes a time in your life because
-
your conscience of your position with the Lord,
-
that wisdom just simply springs out of you. It's
-
wisdom of God. which means it's wisdom that you
-
never started to receive. Let me repeat that.
-
It's wisdom of God, which means you never studied
-
that to obtain wisdom. God himself, from the
-
heavens, from his heart, from his Holy Spirit,
-
gave it to you, and it sprouts out of you. So
-
in you, there's wisdom to know how to manage
-
the stocks of today. The market. Oh, the market
-
of today. In you, there's wisdom. To know how
-
to confront the recession that the world is going
-
to receive but that you won't receive. You see,
-
you don't believe it. You are in Christ. He is
-
the King of the Heavens. In the Kingdom of the
-
Heavens, there's no recession. Nothing fluctuates.
-
It's all constant. From his kingdom there will
-
be no end. It will continue expanding and expanding
-
and expanding. And according to scripture, it
-
says that we have the wisdom of God. It says
-
in him, you in Christ Jesus, who has become for
-
us. wisdom gives us wisdom he makes us wisdom
-
which means that you become Christ wisdom for
-
multitudes wisdom for marriage wisdom for the
-
parents of how to take care of their children
-
wisdom to know how to manage your business wisdom
-
to know how to advance the kingdom wisdom to
-
know how to take care of your body the fountain
-
of wisdom And now His fountain is over a -punching
-
in you. It should be normal for you to carry
-
wisdom. And not only wisdom, but righteousness.
-
The scripture says that we are His righteousness
-
in Christ. We are righteous just as He is righteous.
-
We can't be more righteous than Him. And we can't
-
be less righteous. It doesn't matter what you
-
do. You will never be less righteous than Him
-
or more righteous. And it doesn't matter what
-
you do. You won't be less righteous. If you are
-
in Christ Jesus, He Himself, He Himself, He Himself
-
has made you His righteousness. You didn't do
-
anything. He only said, I love you so much. I'm
-
going to make sure that you don't get lost. I'm
-
going to place you in me. I'm going to make you
-
righteous just as I am righteous. You're going
-
to be so righteous that you're going to be introduced
-
into the relationship that I have with my Father
-
and with the Holy Spirit. I will introduce you
-
to that. And that is called perichoresis. It's
-
the circle of intimacy where he all allows you
-
entrance. And he gives you sanctification. He
-
says, be holy as I am holy. I make you holy as
-
I am holy. But I am working in you. Because you
-
still don't believe me. Because you still think
-
that I'm separated from you. But blessed should
-
be the Spirit of God. That is working in you.
-
That is convincing you. That you are in Christ.
-
Christ and he is in you and the both of us are
-
in the Father. We are kept by the Father growing
-
in Christ, growing in God, getting to know Christ.
-
And that you are complete redemption. Number
-
nine. Colossians chapter two. So beautiful Holy
-
Spirit. Say with me, it's time to learn. The
-
Spirit of God calls me to maturity. Ready? Colossians
-
2, verse 6. And then as you therefore have received
-
Christ Jesus the Lord So what what in him? She
-
said she's that's honest to you if you make a
-
study one that this is Paulo Pedro Who does?
-
Juan how many times Lucas Peter John Luke Judas?
-
No, see for gay on leader the hood us. Yes. Well,
-
no, no, it might be because there is a book of
-
Judas But it's the good book not a horrible Santiago
-
James If you make a study of how many times the
-
word in Him or with Christ or with Him, it's
-
more than 150 times that appear in the New Testament
-
because they walked with that understanding.
-
Nunca se visualizaron fuera de Cristo. They never
-
visualized themselves outside of Christ. Sabían
-
que estaban en Cristo. They knew that they were
-
in Christ. Pero regresemos al versículo 6. But
-
let's go back to verse 6. Por tanto, de la manera
-
que habéis recibido al Señor Jesucristo, andad
-
en él. As you therefore have received Christ
-
Jesus the Lord, so walk in him. Come on, lealo.
-
Arraigado. Vamos, lea, read it. It says rooted.
-
Y sobredificado. And built up. Adonde? Where?
-
En él. In... and established in the faith as
-
you have been taught. Abundant in it with thanksgiving.
-
Next verse is key. Beware lest anyone cheat you
-
through philosophy. An empty deceit. According
-
to the tradition of men, that's religion. According
-
to the basic principles of the world. And not
-
according to Christ. Verse 9. Say with me, in
-
Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. It
-
means that the Father, the Son, and the Holy
-
Spirit, they all abide together in Him, and He
-
placed us in Him. Verse 10. And you, and say
-
with me, I include myself. Look at the person
-
next to you and tell him, it includes you too.
-
It says, you are incomplete. Come on, what does
-
it say? It says, you are complete. Where? In
-
Him. Who is the head of all principality and
-
power? Him and Him. He took you and placed you
-
in Him. And He says, now you're complete. You
-
have my peace. You have my joy. You have my wisdom.
-
You have my presence. You have my Holy Spirit.
-
You have my grace. My righteousness. My power.
-
My authority. You lack nothing. You are complete.
-
In me. Now out of that posture, he is working
-
that truth. than you. He is working and you are
-
loved just as He is loved. You are as righteous
-
as He is righteous. You are well taken care of
-
as He is taken care of. You have everything that
-
He has. In love. He placed you there. We're completed
-
in Him. When we live in We begin to understand
-
I lack nothing I don't need anything I'm pulling
-
in Whether I have it or I don't have it Who said
-
that? Paul said that I know how to live in lack
-
I know how to live in abundance He knew how to
-
live in God He knew how to live in Christ So
-
it doesn't matter what the When you are in Christ,
-
you are in Christ, kept in Christ, protected
-
in Christ, sustained in Christ, given life in
-
Christ. Say thank you Jesus. I'm going to give
-
you one extra before giving you the last one.
-
When you are in Christ, John 11. Let's go there
-
real quick because then you won't believe me.
-
John 11. Lift up your hand and say Holy Spirit
-
of God. Say thank you. Thank you very much. John
-
11 verse 20. The scripture says And Martha said,
-
Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother
-
would not have died. But I also know now that
-
everything that you ask of God, God will give
-
it to you. And Jesus said, your brother will
-
be resurrected. And Martha wanted to give him
-
a theology lesson. Verse 24 says, and Martha
-
said, I know that he will be resurrected in the
-
resurrection on the next day. Verse 25. Verse
-
25. And Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection
-
and the life. He who believes in me, so that
-
he may die. Come on, help me. What does it say?
-
Says, although he may die, he shall live. And
-
whoever lives and believes in me shall never
-
die. I love it. Can you read that? So I'm going
-
to give you a key. And it's true. Christ said,
-
I am the resurrection. I am the life. Even though
-
you die, don't worry about it. You're not going
-
to die. Those that are in Christ have surely
-
eternal life. Those that are in Christ. You don't
-
believe that. Read it again. Go back. Verse 25,
-
please. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and
-
the life. And he who believes in me, even though
-
they may die, what does it say? They will live.
-
Where are those? Where are they placed? Those
-
that believe in Him. Their place in Him. My question
-
is, Christ will die again? Yes or no? No. He
-
will live eternally. So those that are in Christ
-
will also have life. Eternal life. They never
-
die. That is what has strengthened me in the
-
Lord. Because I know that my girl, even though
-
she died physically, she hasn't died. She is
-
completely alive in Christ Jesus. That is the
-
truth. That is the truth for which we walk and
-
place our faith in Christ Jesus. Only Christ
-
died and resurrected. The scripture said and
-
we read it before. Those that have died with
-
Christ have resurrected in Him, with Him, and
-
now they have the same life as Him. So what are
-
you afraid of? Why do you walk with fear? You
-
are complete in it. You are kept in it. You have
-
life in it. You have eternal life in it. Then
-
tomorrow, if someone graduates, what are we going
-
to do? We're going to celebrate. Glory to God.
-
They fulfilled their career. But they are more
-
alive than ever before here on Earth. Are we
-
here? Number 10. That was an extra one. And I
-
will finish with this. Those that live in Christ.
-
Those that have their life in Christ. In Christ.
-
We are exposed and placed in the plain light
-
of Christ. We're gonna go back to one of the
-
first verses we read John 1 verse 1 Are you receiving?
-
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was
-
with God and the Word was God He was in the beginning
-
with God. All things were made through Him. And
-
without Him, nothing was made that was made.
-
And here we go. In Him was what? Life. And how
-
was this life? And the life was what? The light
-
of men. And the light shines in the darkness
-
and the darkness did not comprehend it. Let's
-
go to first John chapter 1. You could just translate
1 John 1 chapter mention
-
verbatim. I'm going to read it in the passion
-
translation. This is the account of John the
-
beloved. And it says like this. We saw him with
-
our very own eyes. We gazed upon him and heard
-
him speak. Our hands actually touched him. The
-
one who was from the beginning. The living expression
-
of God. This life giver was more visible. and
-
we have seen Him was made visible and we have
-
seen Him. We testify to this truth that the eternal
-
life giver lived face to face with the Father
-
and has now dawned upon us. So we proclaim to
-
you What we have seen and heard about the life
-
giver. So that we may share and enjoy this life
-
together. For truly our fellowship is with the
-
Father and with the Son, Jesus. The anointed
-
one. We're writing these things to you because
-
we want to release to you our fullest joy. And
-
this is the life -giving message we heard him
-
share. And it's still ringing in our ears. We
-
now repeat these words to you. Listen to these
-
words. God is pure light. You will never find
-
even a trace of darkness in him. God is pure
-
light. And you'll never find even a trace of
-
darkness in him. This is what we're called to.
-
To live a life full of light. His light. Radiating
-
through us. Pure light. When you walk in him,
-
you live in him. You begin to live a life where
-
God himself takes you out of all aspects of darkness.
-
And all of a sudden his light shines through
-
you. You become an open book. A living letter
-
of the Lord. And the last verse. First John chapter
-
two. Verse six. How many of you say you are in
-
him? How many are you being convinced that you
-
are in him? Lift up your hand. So this is a message
-
for us. He who says he abides in him, here's
-
the challenge, ought himself also to walk just
-
as he walked. This is what we've been called
-
for. This is why we were placed in him, to walk
-
as he walked, to be as he is. He is our big brother
-
and we're the little brother. But we're made
-
in the same image. We have the same essence.
-
Than our Lord Jesus Christ. He makes us full.
-
Or complete and He purifies us. He makes us righteous.
-
He teaches us to be loved. He establishes us
-
in His love. Everything that He is. His essence.
-
His pureness. He gave it to you. He says, peace
-
I leave with you. He says, my peace I give to
-
you. Not like the peace that the world has. That
-
peace that surprised you or that continues to
-
surprise you in the scripture. When they're in
-
the boat and then there's a tremendous storm.
-
And he's resting asleep. That same peace he gave
-
to you. It's already in you. It has to be cultivated
-
in you. It's in you. It has to be worked in you.
-
So we enter into this new series of learning
-
what is to be in Him. To be in Him. How to move
-
in Him. How to be in Him. And may the Lord help
-
us. If you tell me pastor. This message confronted
-
me in a good way, not a bad one. I want to learn
-
how to lift up your hands.
