CONT...Brideroom Conference | La Habitación de La Novia - Invited Guest Abelina Puntos Podcast 91 Parte 2

I'm gonna give you a testimony of this what I'm

saying One day my husband had just turned to

the Lord, he wasn't my husband yet, he came to

church, and he saw that someone next to him put

a hundred dollar bill in the offering. My husband

was passing the oil at that time, as to say he

didn't have any money. He lived in a borrowed

car. He saw that and he said, wow, he gave $100.

That means he won $1 ,000. And he said, Lord,

if you allow me to get $1 ,000, The next week,

I'll bring you $100. And what do you think? And

guess what? He won $1 ,000 that week. The next

week? And he was so happy, he wanted everybody

to see he had $100, and he placed it in the basket.

And he says, Lord, wow, if you give me $10 ,000,

I'll give you $1 ,000. And that's $1 ,000 a week.

And my husband did it. He would get $10 ,000

a week. And for a month. He was happy giving

his $1 ,000. He was giving $4 ,000 a month. But

when the one month mark came, he said, $4 ,000

is a lot of money. I ran out two offices. I'm

just going to give up. $1 ,500 and then I'll

keep the $3 ,000 so I can invest. He gets his

first million dollars, 29 years old, but a year

later, he loses it all. And he went to go live

on the streets again. And that's where I met

my husband. Before he lost everything. the lord

gave it to me and the day of his birthday he

said tell him that because he didn't obey me

and because he was dishonest and because he lied

i'm going to take everything away and i said

no god you told him that poor guy i can't do

that I called her on the phone, it was 11 at

night, I was driving and I said, I thought he

was married, but he was separated. I said, the

wife answered me and was going to say, first

of all, what imprudence to speak at this time,

sir, it's your fault. So I'm driving home and

then I'm so nervous. I have to call him and I

have to tell him but at that time He was separated

because he was married at one point So I was

nervous and I thought maybe his wife is gonna

call answer She's gonna be like, why are you

calling him at this time? Cuz it was already

11 p .m So I just went ahead and did the call

And I barely even knew him Imagine barely knowing

someone and going up to them on their birthday

and saying, the Lord's gonna take everything

away. After five hours of praying, the Lord said,

yes, it was me, go tell him, go do what I've

asked you to do. And at that point, I didn't

know that everything was, that he had hidden

the $3 ,000. So he ended up losing everything.

can be trusted with very little can also be trusted

with much and whomever is dishonest with very

little will also be dishonest with much. So my

husband had to work in his character because

he was dishonest. The Lord couldn't trust him.

That's why the Lord sent me to his life. So this

is an example of the many ways you can be dishonest.

But your tithing, the tithing is not negotiable.

I'm the leader of Alavanza. No, I am. Wow. Okay,

let's see your radiography. Okay. Let's go for

the radiography. When we get to donations, I

put donations in the radiography. Donations.

And the first thing I have is church. Church.

Excuse me. The first thing I have is church,

but it's not the first question I ask. The first

question I ask is, to whom... So whenever I have

people come into my office and they tell me oh

I'm a leader of worship I'm the leader of intercession

and I tell them okay well come on let's look

at your x -ray and see what's going on so when

I start looking at that I kind of note and I

write okay the church and then I ask them what

are you where are you donating your money to?

To your parents? They get $30 ,000 a month, and

then they tell me, I send my mom $30 a week.

$120 a month? Are your parents okay economically?

Oh no, sister, you know, between my brothers

and I, we all take turns, but no one wants to

help me anymore. Alright, let's go to the Ten

Commandments. You will honor your mother and

your father in all that you do so you may have

a long life. When they come into my office, I'm

not acting all spiritual. I don't speak to them

about the Bible. I just ask the questions. So

if they're not saving, If they're saving for

mom and dad, then that person no longer qualifies.

I know that there's a lot of work to do. I know

then I have to send them to Pastor Daniel. Because

now there's things that they have to work out.

The next question. Or you're a leader at the

church, okay, and how much are you giving to

the church? $40? Oh, no sister we give 25. A

day? Glory to God, hallelujah sister. I see this

90 % of the time. I've seen more than 2 ,000

people in my office. And I've seen this more

than 90 % all the time. If someone tells me I'm

the leader of their church and they say, sister,

I don't tie, I close my laptop, and I tell them,

I can't bless something that you are cursing.

You know the scriptures. Some, they're like this,

and they say, okay, I need your help. And then

they say, okay, and others just leave. But I

don't care. I'm not there for you to love me.

I'm there to help you. And if I don't tell you

the truth, I can't help you. But here's another

principle. And the principle we're going to repeat

again is in the book of Psalms. It says the earth

and all its fullness, everything that's in it,

belongs to who? Belongs to who? To God. So the

money that you have is not yours. The Jewish

have this principle and that's why they don't

have an issue with giving. They've never had

an issue with giving. And God didn't ask them

for the 10. God doesn't only ask him for 10%,

he asks him for more. Because God sends you and

he wants to prosper you. He wants to prosper

you because he wants to use you as a blessing

to bless others. You're gonna keep it and you're

gonna use it for things that are going to destroy

you. That's the truth. So the Jewish people have

understood this and I want to study that with

them how they think. They understand that everything

they have, nothing belongs to them. and that

they're stewards and that the Lord is watching

them 24 hours a day. What are you doing with

your money? What are you spending it on? For

example, last week a woman came. She gets $3

,000 a week. $3 ,000 a month. And she spends

$1 ,500 if she's filled in debt. Why? Because

she's spending more than what she can make, and

you can say, oh, that's not me. And maybe you're

right. When I go see her extra, she works three

days a week, and she cleans houses. But four

days out of the week, she eats out. And she says,

sister, sister. I make sure that I spend more

than $40 a day. So multiply four times four because

she eats out four days, four times four. That's

16, that's 160 times four. That's $480 that she's

throwing to the trash. Monthly, does she qualify

for more? No. And then she tells me, I have the

Sam's card and I'm very careful with it. I only

spend 500 each time I go. And I go three times

a month. I spend 1 ,500. And then, so if this

week I went to Sam's. The next week I already

ran out of milk and ham and I have to go to Walmart

and I spend 80. But you only cook three times

a week and you spend $500? You don't qualify.

You're a bad servant. You have to learn how to

manage your finances first. So what are you wasting

your money on? It could be that you go to Starbucks

two times a week. When you're in the red numbers,

you are a bad servant. If you're in green numbers,

go buy every day. But right now don't do it,

because it's not your money. And he's not gonna

marry you like that. You will be single. That

is the truth. When you're the bride, nothing

of the bridegroom is yours. But when you're the

wife, everything of your husband belongs to you.

But if you're using wrongly what you have right

now as the bride, you think he's No, and he's

not gonna marry you. You will stay single. And

it's not his fault. It's your fault. I have seven.

Proverbios tres nueve. Proverbs three nine. I

learned the principles of the kingdom. This is

the first scripture I memorized. So first I understood

So what's the first thing you're gonna do? Make

a budget. What is a budget? You're gonna write

down everything you spend money on. Every penny

that you spend. Not every dollar, I said every

penny. Because you are an accountant. You're

taking care of the money. of the private. take

away and I'll give it to this person. That's

why I have a million. Oh, I'm being rude. But

that just kind of came out. It was embarrassing.

I'm sorry, it just came to me. I won't say it

anymore, but I won't promise that. Maybe it's

going to come out. So why did he do that? Because

he said, even the little that he has, I'm going

to take it away and give it to the person who

has more. So if Elon Musk, you don't like him,

I'm sorry. Because he has more. Why do you and

I don't? Because he knew how to work it better

than you and I So you and I aren't there yet

So don't get mad at the rich people Because they

have more than you You don't have any Because

you haven't learned But today you're going to

learn So you're going to make a budget And if

you don't know how to do one Pastor, we'll do

a workshop for that. So I can show you how to.

I'll show you how to do a budget, and I'll show

you how to get out of debt, and then I'll help

you get out and pay your house in 10 years. It

works. I show whoever wants it. Because there's

a lot of hard -headed people that don't want

it. Well fine, I won't show you how. So if you

don't know how to do it, Pastor will bring me

back again to give you a workshop to show you

how to make one. So number one, write down every

penny that you spend. And then you'll examine

yourself. And see how good or how bad you are.

And then we'll start working from there. I'll

show you the number one system of administrating

your finances. Because it doesn't matter how

much you make. You will have enough to save to

everyone. Will have enough to save. I did it.

When I was a single mom, and I would get $400

a week. For many years, I only made $400 a week.

And I did that system, and it worked. So let's

go with the next one. Proverbs three, nine. And

what did I do? I honored the Lord with what I

had. Matthew 25. I didn't bury my talent. So

my first million was not good luck. It was a

result of being obedient to the principles. The

biblical principles, even though they didn't

have Everything that you have is a God. Remember

Psalms 24 -1. Memorize 1 Corinthians 4 -2. It's

required for the administrator to be found faithful.

I'm gonna show you the word to save. Oh, the

word aboda. It's spelled A, B like boy, V like

Victor, O, D like dog, A of Abelina, and H like

Henry. Abodah. When you go read this word in

the scripture, it says three things. And it's

literally spelled the same. The word abodah means

worship. So when you read in the Bible, everything

that has breath, praise the Lord. lives with

your emotions, with your tears, with your love,

with your laughter. With your tears, with your

love, with your laughter. It also means work.

So don't be lazy. There's no excuse for you not

to work. So if your kids go to school, and you're

a housewife taking care of the kids, but they're

at school from eight to nine, what did you do

in that time? Oh, well, that's why I'm an intercessor.

I pray all day. Liar. Because the Lord says that

work Yes, maybe your kids are little but once

they go to school You should learn something

educate yourself get a course learn how to use

a computer learn some English learn Spanish.

So I will yes So I will I'll see me see that

I'll go under do you see how in hennessey? Do

you see so long? They'll opus or not. Yeah, but

I can laugh I will laugh so I will that means

work. So in Genesis when the Lord placed man

on earth, he said he I don't know if the Bible

talks about retirement, but I've never read that

it talks about retirement. Abraham never retired.

None of the powerful men, maybe he's out there

and he's gone, but I haven't read that he's retired.

So stop... I haven't seen or heard of anybody

in the Bible. Retired, Sarah was 90 when she

had a baby. Stop thinking about retirement at

65 years old. You're going to keep working and

living. So the other word, so aboda, means to

work, means to worship, means service. It's the

same word. Has to be a woman with healthy finances.

If your finances are not healthy, something is

not matching. You need a fix. Proverbios en serio

y una y con esta me voy, ¿verdad? Pura ti. Proverbios

31 and then I'm done. La mujer virtuosa, the

virtuous woman, es empresaria, compra tierras,

siembra, vende telas. It's a symbol of prosperity,

wisdom, and provision. In Acts, we're going to

see Lydia. At 16, she would sell. She would sell.

Even though the Bible didn't speak about her

money, she was the government. Mary Magdalene

was very rich. She would sell fish. She had a

market. The principles of the Bible. Number one,

being faithful in the little. Don't wait to have

a lot of money. Don't bury those connections.

Point number three, sow with faith. Psalms 126.

The woman that sows with tears, harvests with

happiness. The word for you today is what you

have for the Lord that you can multiply. Do you

have ideas? Abilities? Write them down. Present

them to the Lord. Pray. And tell him, what can

I do with this Lord? You have something. Ask

him, what can I do with this Lord? And I'm gonna

finish with this. Isaiah 60 verse five. And I'm

gonna declare it over your life. Arise and shine.

Because the light has come. The richness of the

nations are here. We're going to take this time

to ask God for forgiveness. your kingdom lord

father thank you thank you bless the father because

you are good thank you for your wisdom thank

you for your love and your faithfulness thank

you because you chose us even though we thought

that we didn't qualify but before you we Thank

you
