Welcome to Burning Lamb Podcast. The daily refresh

for your life. Jesus is the center of everything

we do. Burning Lamb Church. Burning Lamb Church.

Thank you for always listening to our podcast.

We hope they are a blessing to your life. Burning

Lamb Church. Are you ready to go into the word?

We've been going through so many transformations.

The Lord has been speaking in so many ways. How

many of you can say that you've been growing

in these last couple of months? If this is you,

lift up your hands please. There has really been

a transformation in your personal life. I believe

that the Lord is giving us a beautiful season

of growing. And He's taking us to a place of

maturity to grow in Him. So I've come to a place

Where the Lord has me developing aspects of His

wisdom, He is gifting of His wisdom, giving grace

to receive wisdom. Because it's never just only

your faith. He gives you the grace to believe.

He gives you the grace to believe in him. He

gives you the grace to believe in his word. So

the faith that one has is added on to the grace

that he's given us. So today I want to pray so

that God can add grace Grace upon grace. That

we can keep growing in Him. So we bow our heads.

Father in the name of Jesus. You are the father

of light. You are the one who knows all things.

By you all things were made. And by you they

are sustained. And through you they are manifested,

Lord. We grow near to your table, hungry and

thirsty. We want to continue growing in you.

Lord, the light of your word, let it be present

in this day. I pray for the spirit of revelation,

of wisdom, of understanding, and the knowledge

of who you are. But you may remove the veil one

more time today. And we can see you clearly.

And we may be able to grow in you. We come to

be transformed. We come to be challenged. And

I declare. that no one leaves this place the

same. We shall all be transformed in one way

or another. Your word that is alive acts within

us, produces faith in us. The faith comes by

hearing and hearing of the word of God. So fill

us of faith, challenge us, and allow us to be

established even more in you, in the name of

Jesus. And the people of God say, amen. We're

in a season of metamorphosis. And this metamorphosis

has brought different elements that are very

necessary to recognize. And I believe that it's

something that the Lord is not just doing with

this church, but what the Lord is doing with

the body. He's intentionally working with the

church. He's retaking the church. The scripture

says in Matthew 16, 18, And it says, and above

this rock, I will edify my church. I will build

my church. These are words of Jesus. And I believe

that we are in a time where he is building his

church. The systems of man are falling. They're

becoming irrelevant. The religious system is

falling. And there's something pure, an essence

of the Lord that is coming out to shine. And

we're beneficiaries of that. So it's important

to understand that in this season, there's a

re -identification. God is re -identifying. The

Spirit of God is re -identifying. the person

of Jesus, how He is. Jesus is the exact representation

of the Father. The Father decided to reveal Himself

exclusively through the person of Jesus. God

Himself didn't need elements or prophets, but

He sent His only Son, His own Son here on earth.

To reveal the heart of a father. And this re

-identification is also confronting us and taking

us to get to know ourselves. And I'm going to

give you wisdom, write this down. The more you

grow in the knowledge. And when I say grow in

the knowledge, it's not information. I'm speaking

of intimacy. A relationship in communion. The

word is to get to know or to get to know through

intimacy. So the more we know the Lord through

intimacy, In reality you will get to know who

you really are. It's important to know that.

Number two, through this metamorphosis, we are

being established in a greater dimension of the

truths of the Lord. It's like we're being rooted

in the Lord, founded in the Lord, cemented in

the Lord. And I'm seeing this transformation

even in your life. Number three. This metamorphosis

is allowing us to be strengthened in this communion

with the Lord. The understanding of our posture

where we are in front of the Lord is extremely

important. que la oración de Jesús en Juan 17

ha sido ya. Understanding that the prayer of

the Lord in John 17 has already been answered.

Father, make us one as you and I are one. I in

you, you in me, and them in us. That prayer has

been answered. And we're going to continue to

learn about that today. Number four. This metamorphosis

is allowing us to walk genuinely with the Holy

Spirit of the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord is

again re -identifying us. He's representing us.

He's again representing us to ourselves. to us.

Number five. He's giving us access to be formed

in the image of Jesus. And all of that is in

metamorphosis. Number six. He's removing the

veil. Seven. He is teaching us to be reborn again.

What is it to be reborn in Christ? Number seven.

He's making us more aware of the transformation

of the nature in Christ in us. And number eight,

he's showing us how to abide in him. John 15.

He says, I am the vine and you are the branches.

abide in me and I in you and the fruits will

naturally come to be. Let's go to 2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians 5:7

chapter 5 verse 7. 2 Corinthians 5 17 says Therefore,

if anyone is in who? Christ. He is the new creation.

All things have passed away. Behold, all things

have become new. Again, because of John 17, Father,

make them one just as you and I are one. We have

been placed in Christ. The scripture says that

we were crucified with Christ and we're going

to read that verse later. And then it says that

we died in Christ. And then it says that we were

resurrected alongside Christ, with Christ. And

then it says that we ascended jointly with Christ.

So the perfect work of the cross, we were already

placed in Christ. That's why Scripture says,

leave that verse up if you can. What we just

read, 2 Corinthians 5 17, Therefore if anyone,

what does it say, is in Christ. It doesn't say

with Christ. It says in Christ. He is a new creation.

It doesn't say next to Christ, but it says in

Christ. All things have passed. Behold, all things

have become new. Pastor, you've already taught

this. Yes, but now I'm going to challenge you

for you to live it. Because one thing is to have

knowledge. And another is for you to start living

what you've received. This verse speaks about

being reborn. When one is in Christ, a new creature

comes out. You are reborn. So we carry and we

are placed in Christ to enjoy manifest His life.

John chapter one. I hope that you came prepared

because we're going to go through a lot of scripture.

John chapter one. Verse one through five. This

speaks about Jesus. And it's very similar to

Genesis one. it's an intimate form of Genesis

1 and and it's more it's personified personified

personified in Christ in the person of Jesus

in the person of Jesus Go ahead. 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. Look at the

language here with John. In the next verse. Read

it with me. In Him. Was what? Come on, help me.

What is in Him? Life. And the life was the light

of men and the light shines in the darkness and

the darkness did not comprehend it. So it's very

important in verse four, it says, in him was

life. Say with me, in him was life. So let's

reaffirm this verse. Acts chapter 17, verse 28.

Acts 17:28

Acts 17 -28 says, for in him we live and move

and have our being as also some of our own poets

have said for we are also his offspring so we're

going to read it slowly okay what does the verse

say? read it again We live and move and have

our being, as also some of our own poets have

said, for we are also his offspring. So Luke

establishes in the book of Acts that in him we

live. In him we have our life. Apostle John writes

in John 1 -4, in him was life. So genuine life,

the true life given to men is found in Him. Say

amen, please. So not only does He provide life,

but in Him we move. In Him we have our being,

or we are. So the Holy Spirit, now, here, today,

is teaching us that we are living in Him and

how to live in Him. The question comes to be,

what does it mean to live in Him? And I'm going

to give you ten aspects of what it is to live

in Him. But it's important that you are aware

that there are other aspects of being able to

live in Him. This type of teaching This is going

to shake the religious form that has been made

for many years. Why? Because for so long, we

were taught, endoctrined, like God is far away,

and we're separated from Him. And we have to

do works in order to grow near Him. We have to

do certain things to please Him. But that's not

real. And that's what the Lord wants to break

in us. So that we can understand that today is

possible today. Have the same relationship with

the Father that Jesus had here with the Father.

So are you ready? What does it mean to live in

Him? Number one, write this down please. To live

in Him means that our life takes the form and

the essence of the life itself of Jesus. Let

me repeat it. To live in Him, number one means

that our life now in Christ begins to take a

form and the essence of the same life of Christ.

Let me repeat it again. What does it mean to

live in Him? It means that our own life now in

Christ begins to take the form of the life of

Christ that begins to take the essence of the

same life. of Christ. That the life of Christ

begins to now become our own life. Galatians

2 .20 Let's go there quickly. Look at the person

next to you and tell them. Tell them, do not

distract me because today I'm going to learn

about my Lord and my posture in Him. What does

Galatians 2 .20 say? It says I have been crucified

with Christ. I'm no longer separated. Separated

from Christ. What is it? It's not separated,

but it's with Christ. In Christ. I am jointly

crucified. And it says, it is no longer I who

live but Christ lives in me and the life which

I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the

Son of God who loved me and gave himself for

me. Jesus was teaching his disciples that he

who loves his life will lose it. But he who yields

his life But because of him or for him will now

can take his life. Here in Galatians it says

that because we have been crucified with him,

now we have another nature. There's another essence,

a new creature. Those that are in Christ are

new creatures. This is it. I no longer live,

but Christ lives in me. Do you know what this

is gonna mean while the Holy Spirit is working

in you? This means that your own life in the

flesh, and when I say in the flesh, I'm speaking

of your desires in the flesh. They will begin

to disappear, simply no longer be a part of you.

of you because you're going to be more conscious

of your union in Christ and you're going to learn

how to abide or remain in Him that the own life

of the vine will begin to sprout in you. And

the life of Christ will be manifested through

you. And it will no longer be through your discipline.

And not through your own work. But it will be

a heart that's yielded to the Lord, surrendered

to the Lord that understands the posture is in

the Lord. And because I am in him, I appropriate

myself of his life. He himself gives me of his

own life Zoe. begins to die, which is my desires,

my longings, the things that I want, and that

what I want is the same thing that He wants.

Now I think like He thinks, because you are in

Him, you have the mind of Christ. The scripture

says that you have the mind of Christ, but the

mind of Christ will be developed exclusively

in union with the Father, in union with the Son,

in union with the Spirit of God, and you being

in Him, conscious that I am in Christ. There's

no separation between Christ and I. There's no

separation between the Spirit of God and I. No

separation between the Father and I. God sealed

me with Himself inside of me. It has to go from

here to here. And this union... In this taking

of the life of Christ, it won't be in your strength.

You know what's gonna happen when you become

more conscious that you are in him? You're gonna

love as he loves. The people that used to get

on your nerves. Now you're gonna have mercy with

them. You're gonna have compassion with them.

It's like you don't believe me, but it's the

truth. Because the life of Christ, how is the

life of Christ? The scripture says that God is

love. He doesn't have love. He is love. His essence

is love. When you are in him, his nature, his

character begins to be formed in you. And you

begin to love the unlovable. Say amen, please.

It's a reality, it's a truth. That is where the

fruit of the begins to sprout out of you. And

what is the fruit of the spirit? Because it doesn't

say the fruits of the spirit, it says the fruit

of the spirit. What is it? Love. You're going

to be the most lovable person. Say amen. Say

amen, please. Especially those machos out there.

You're going to be the person that forgives the

quickest. Don't worry about it. The essence,

the nature, who God really is, begins to now

sprout in you. Quickly to forgive. Pray in mercy.

The image of the Father. Just as the Father loves

you love. Generous like the Father. Say amen,

you were quiet there. How is the Father? manifested

in Christ. Now that manifestation of the person

of Jesus begins to be worked in you because you

are in him. Number two, same verse. Our faith

begins to grow. It begins to be perfected in

Christ Jesus. We believe like Christ because

we're in him. That means we have the life of

Christ. In Him, we live. It's not that you live

your own life. It's now that there's an exchange

of life. Now the life of Christ is being formed

in you. Your level of faith will shoot up. Why?

Because I am in Him. He's developing the faith

that belongs to God. He's developing in me. With

Christ I am jointly crucified. I no longer live,

but Christ lives in me. And the life which now

I live. In the flesh, I live by what? Come on,

help me, how am I living it? I live by faith,

not in a result. Not in the faith of the papers

that they're gonna give me. Not in the faith

of the house that I'm gonna buy. Not in the faith

of the car that God is gonna give me. But in

the faith, in who? Of the Son of God. The same

faith that comes from the God begins to be cultivated

in us. Where, what you ask for. Your dad is ready

to give. And you don't have to try and think

of a way to produce something. Nope. Everything

is produced through union. Amen. The church is

not used to having communion. They're used to

making sacrifices. Repentance means to change

your way of thinking. But religion has taught

us or has sold us. It's like we've asked the

Lord for forgiveness and we feel bad. But listen

to the word. Repentance. Pain penance again.

Repentance. Pain penance. again. The true word

is metanoia, which is the transformation of the

mind. To let go of a way of thinking and capture

the way the Lord thinks. Are we here? Again,

it's going to confront us in so many areas. Pastor,

do you believe in repentance? 100%. But not just

crying here and making myself feel really bad

because I sinned. Because true repentance needs

a fruit. And that fruit means transformation.

That's that's another story So our faith is strengthened

exclusively in the Son of God Number three saying

verse The Spirit of God begins to reveal to us

continuously How loved we really are He says

who loved me and gave himself for me So again

the Spirit of God in this metamorphosis In teaching

us how to live in Christ Begins to now establish

the love of God in us Do you want to know why

this is so important? Because many walk with

an orphaned mind. And they need to be established

in love. Scripture speaks of and teaches us.

Grow in the love of God. It says the perfect

love of God. Cast out fear. The love of God has

to be perfected in us. And the Spirit of God

desires to perfect the love of God in us. When

that happens, there's a freedom. And in that

freedom, we will be living free of fear, free

of anxiety, free of worries. Say amen, please.

Because the perfect love of God casts out all

fear. Pastor, everything that you're talking

about is so impossible. Yes, because religion

religion has taught us that. It never gave us

the direction which is possible to live established

in the love of God just as Jesus was. Say amen

please. To live so loved just as Christ is loved.

Jesus said that. He said the same way that my

father loves me, he loves you. And then in John

17 he says, Lord in the same way that you love

me, love them. If we were to walk in the love

of God, there wouldn't be any competition. You

wouldn't be in competition with anybody. You

wouldn't be comparing yourself with anyone. There

wouldn't be any jealousy. There wouldn't be any

envy. Or you wouldn't be lusting over someone

or over what they have. You would be fully established

in your identity. You know that you're a son.

You know that you're a daughter. You know that

you're fully loved. There's no doubt in your

mind. You are fully established in the Lord.

I am as beloved as Christ is loved. That's why

Apostle John throughout his whole gospel He would

write, the beloved disciple that Jesus... The

disciple that Jesus loved. And we read that and

we're like, oh, he was so prideful. But nonetheless,

the Spirit of God allowed that for that to be

present. John didn't have any competition. John

was at the feet of Christ when everybody else

was hiding. Everybody had fear and he was present

with the Lord, with Jesus. He was established

in the love of God. He knew how loved he was.

There's a place in this metamorphosis where God

begins to take this out of you and you begin

to understand, I am so loved just as Jesus is

loved. I am such a son as Christ's son. I am

not less loved than Jesus. I'm not less loved

than Jalen, the one that sings. Or Pastor Daniel

who preaches. God doesn't have favorites. But

you continue being His favorite.
