  1. Welcome to Burning Lab Podcast The daily refresh

  2. for your life Jesus is the center of everything

  3. we do Burning Lab Church I've been doing finance

  4. seminars for 15 years Financial conferences for

  5. 15 years. Radio, talk show radio, every day.

  6. But I'm shaking. I'm still shaking and it's still

  7. so nerve wracking. Why? Because I know that when

  8. I'm speaking about money, I'm also speaking about

  9. the heart of the bride. Because Jesus said, where

  10. is your treasure? That is where your heart is.

  11. And each time I sit with families, when they

  12. open up their wallets, they show me their hearts.

  13. And I know what's valuable, that money and finances,

  14. the value that money and finances have for the

  15. bride of today. So what do you think if we pray?

  16. I'm going to close my eyes. So beloved father,

  17. precious father, and this time once more, we

  18. lift up our voices with the angels, with the

  19. archangels, and with the saints, and we say,

  20. blessed. blessed, blessed, holy, powerful, beloved,

  21. precious Jesus, our beloved. We continue hunger

  22. for you. We continue to thirst for you. We're

  23. truly awaiting you, just as the bride sits desperately

  24. to see her bridegroom. This is how we are today,

  25. beloved Father. Hoy disponemos nuestra mente

  26. para tener el conocimiento que tú nos quieres

  27. dar Hoy disponemos nuestra voluntad para recibir

  28. la sabiduría que tú nos vas a entregar To prepare

  29. us for the times that are coming. We love you

  30. Jesus. We bless you. And we make our hearts available.

  31. Amen. I'm shaking not because I'm nervous. Well,

  32. maybe a little. My heart is shaking with what

  33. the Lord has given us these last two days. And

  34. this topic that we're going to speak of has a

  35. great responsibility over us. Our conference

  36. is based on Revelation 7, 9, and 8. Rejoice and

  37. be glad because the wedding of the Lamb is at

  38. hand. and the bride has prepared herself. She's

  39. now the wife, she's no longer the bride. So the

  40. bride doesn't have any rights over the bridegroom.

  41. But the wife does. When you're a bride, nothing

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

  43. a wife, Everything of your husband is now yours.

  44. So begin taking that to your heart. Everything

  45. of my husband is mine. My prayer is that this

  46. word may be revealed to your heart and you begin

  47. to see You see yourself as the wife, no longer

  48. as the bride. But we're going to speak of a wedding.

  49. Today we're going to marry the father. At least

  50. in our finances. So a wedding is costly, correct?

  51. So you need money, correct? And a beautiful wedding

  52. like we want to have is even more expensive.

  53. So what is my responsibility with this topic?

  54. The key point here, and write this down. God

  55. doesn't come for a bride that is in debt, that

  56. is dependent of the system. God comes for a wife.

  57. that's healthy and free. And for context of this

  58. topic, we're going to direct these scriptures

  59. to the finances. We're going to begin with what

  60. is the bride room? What happens in a bride room?

  61. I'm going to ask you. Como fue el preparativo

  62. como se preparó el día cuando ya la van a peinar

  63. a maquillar el velito que había en esa habitación.

  64. I want to ask you Nervios que más I want to ask

  65. you how it was when you were getting ready You

  66. were nervous you were happy go so came out joyful.

  67. What else was there? makeup What else? What is

  68. the bride doing? Who's surrounding her? Who's

  69. helping her? So spiritually, it's where the bride.

  70. You prepare yourself. It's not passiveness. And

  71. there's no religiousness here. It's a preparation

  72. that's strategic and with integrity and active.

  73. There are women that are filled with the Spirit,

  74. but really filled with the Spirit. But they're

  75. empty in financial wisdom. And it's because the

  76. question is, why? Aren't I supposed to have everything?

  77. Isn't it the fact that I'm filled with the Spirit

  78. isn't that part of it? What's happening with

  79. me? Why aren't my finances where they're supposed

  80. to be? I've seen many women that pray for blessing,

  81. but they don't get prepared to administer it.

  82. blessings are coming. The blessing comes, but

  83. I see you stressful. I see you nervous. Yeah,

  84. now you don't have a coach purse. Now you have

  85. a Louis Vuitton. And now they're not putting

  86. salve in their face. Now they're putting Botox.

  87. And now we're not just covering our gray hair.

  88. Now we put extensions on. You have hair extension,

  89. then you have the eyelash extensions. You have

  90. the extension of your nails. And extension in

  91. your butt. Nowadays that's the most popular surgery

  92. that you could get. So they prayed for the blessing

  93. and God gave it to them. It's not bad. Put those

  94. extensions wherever you want to put them. It's

  95. okay. But are you administrating what you have?

  96. Is your richness bringing stress? Are you a wife

  97. of a businessman? Are you yourself a businesswoman?

  98. But do you have a life filled with stress? Where

  99. you can't sleep? That's not richness. That's

  100. having money. It's a fake. That's not the bride.

  101. And that's not the wife. Jesus spoke more about

  102. money than of faith. He knew that because the

  103. heart and money are connected. That's why he

  104. spoke about that. He said a word that impacted

  105. me so much and the Lord took me to study it so

  106. much. And it was the parable of the five wise

  107. women and the five foolish women. And that's

  108. Matthew 25, 113. And write that down because

  109. that's gonna be your homework. And when you go

  110. home, I'm gonna give you a lot of homework. So

  111. in this, he speaks about ten virgins, he speaks

  112. about ten minds, he speaks about ten plagues,

  113. and God uses the number ten so much. What does

  114. number 10 mean? Why tithing? The 10 % of what

  115. I have, I'm going to bring to the house of the

  116. Lord. It doesn't mean and it doesn't say That

  117. the 10 % belong to the Lord Because the reality

  118. of it is When you understand this When the Lord

  119. reveals it to you And it's a spiritual revelation

  120. Your finances will change Let me tell you how

  121. this changed me At the age of 13, I was abused

  122. by my father, psychologically, sexually, in all

  123. senses. That abuse made me a parent at the age

  124. of 15. At the age of 16, I was a parent to two

  125. girls. And it was a product of that abuse. I

  126. didn't have an education. I grew up in Mexico

  127. in a province where we didn't even have our own

  128. water. We didn't even have toilet paper. We had

  129. to use stones. We had one dress for school and

  130. then one dress to be at home. I really grew up

  131. in extreme poverty. That is my trasfondo. The

  132. abuse lasted from the age of 13 to the age of

  133. 19. From the age of 19 to the age of 36 a transformation

  134. within me happened. At the age of 34 I won my

  135. first million dollars. I've never won anything

  136. less after that time. How did I do it? Magic?

  137. No, no. I had an encounter with the living God.

  138. And that God healed me, transformed me from my

  139. inside out. Amen, exactly. An applause for the

  140. Lord. I'm going to get out of the topic for a

  141. little bit. Because yesterday, when I got here,

  142. The Lord began to remind me of that. She was

  143. preaching. She wasn't speaking about me or everything

  144. I've been through. I remember this and then the

  145. Lord speaks. And today I am somehow influenced.

  146. People listen. I counsel thousands of families

  147. in the financial area. I've helped thousands

  148. of families to get out of poverty. So I have

  149. a little bit of influence. But the Lord told

  150. me, Abelina, I don't love you. Because you bring

  151. women to my altar. Because you minister to the

  152. hearts of women. Because you've taken people

  153. out of poverty. Because you have money. While

  154. she was preaching, the Lord showed me where he

  155. brought me out of. When I was in a corner, my

  156. family didn't speak to me. My family didn't love

  157. me. My own family hated me. I was the black sheet

  158. of my family. It was my fault. For everyone,

  159. it was my fault. I provoked the abuse. I didn't

  160. have a boyfriend? I wish I would have had at

  161. least a lover. So he could help you just a little

  162. bit. But I didn't even have that. Nothing. I

  163. was in a corner. I didn't have money. Not even

  164. to eat. Not even to feed my own daughters. Not

  165. even to buy them diapers. My babies were here.

  166. But they didn't use diapers. They would use clothes

  167. that I would gather from the trash. I would mix

  168. milk with water to give them something to eat.

  169. No one would give anything for me. No one gave

  170. anything for me. No one is interested in me.

  171. I didn't have clothes. No one would give me a

  172. shirt. I would grab them from the trash. And

  173. from there he lifted me up. From there he loved

  174. me. From there he chose me. When you're nothing.

  175. When you're no one. When you think no one is

  176. watching. When you think you're not valuable.

  177. When you feel that you're dying of pain. That's

  178. where he found me. That's where he lifted me

  179. up. How did the million dollars come? Now I have

  180. to learn his principles. Now I have to study

  181. the principles of the king. That's how the million

  182. dollars came. That's how the businesses that

  183. have come have came. That's how the houses have

  184. come. That's how the lands have come. That's

  185. how the businesses have come. I learned the principles

  186. of the king. And that's what he wants to teach

  187. you today. Do you want them? Do you truly want

  188. them? Are you ready? There are changes that you're

  189. going to have to do. So let's go with the virgins

  190. that were wise and the virgins that were foolish.

  191. The wise. They save oil. Waiting for the bridegroom

  192. to come. And we've heard these couple days, yesterday

  193. and today, that there's a cambio that's coming

  194. in the finances. There's a shift that's coming.

  195. There's a shaking in las finanzas. No te pongas

  196. comoda. Don't get comfortable. You live in the

  197. richest country and powerful country. And even

  198. though you think you're poor, you are not poor.

  199. But that is coming. Because a persecution is

  200. coming. How are you going to prepare? And that's

  201. where we're going. So when we speak about this,

  202. we're going to change the meaning of the oil

  203. for a little bit. Because oil in the Bible also

  204. means a lot of money. We're going to go, do you

  205. remember that widow woman that was dying? And

  206. then the prophet comes, and she says, I'm going

  207. to die. I have a little bit of flour and a little

  208. bit of oil. And what did the prophet tell her?

  209. Bring it. Bring dishes. Bring all the pots that

  210. you have that you can find. She didn't ask, well

  211. for what? So the first thing you have to do is

  212. to prepare yourself. So how am I going to prepare

  213. myself? I'm going to show you right now. The

  214. word of the Lord is going to tell us. And he

  215. tells her, first give me something to eat. The

  216. Lord says, what do you have for him? The prophet

  217. was acting as a type of god. He didn't make you

  218. empty. What do you have for him? What is the

  219. last thing you have for him? She said, I'm dying.

  220. After I eat this with my son, that's it. I'm

  221. going to die. What do you have? Right now. Write

  222. it down. If you don't have it right now, go back

  223. home and ask the Lord. Because you do have something.

  224. There's something that you have. So what do you

  225. have? He comes, he fills it, and that woman became

  226. a millionaire. Because she had a big debt. So

  227. not only did he pay the debt, but then she had

  228. money left over. So money also has a context

  229. of money. So when you read the Bible, let's read

  230. it in that context. So there were 10 virgins.

  231. Five prepared themselves. Five had oil. And the

  232. five saved it when the bridegroom came. He didn't

  233. find them. Being poor, he didn't find them. Dying

  234. of hunger, he didn't find them. He didn't find

  235. them just laying around, but the other five he

  236. did. Why? They stayed how? They stayed asleep.

  237. Oh, why am I going to say? And this is so embarrassing.

  238. i have some people come to me and they're like

  239. oh i listen to you the radio i've heard you for

  240. 15 years and i just love how you speak and i

  241. ask them well have you applied anything that

  242. i've spoken oh no but i really like what you

  243. said because you were right but have you applied

  244. it and see this is what i'm saying they need

  245. to come to me make an appointment so that we

  246. can do an x -ray on you and tell you where you're

  247. malpracticing that money wow So spiritual preparation

  248. without spiritual wisdom. spiritual preparation

  249. without financial wisdom, which is what we've

  250. learned these two days. It's a door that can

  251. be closed. I got a little nervous. He's seen

  252. me talk about finances so many times, but I still

  253. get nervous. I'm going to look this way. So we're

  254. going to speak about the principles of the kingdom

  255. so that you can be prepared. So the first thing

  256. we're going to do is apply. Let's go to Luke

  257. 16, 10. And now I'm going to read it in English.

  258. I speak Spanish too in English. Okay. Okay. Luke

  259. 16 says, whoever can be trusted with very little.

  260. can also be trusted with much. In the Hebrew

  261. Bible, I went to go look for it because I wanted

  262. a more definitive version of it. The word faithful

  263. means that you can trust the very, very little

  264. to someone. So I'm gonna read it again. Whomever

  265. can be trusted with very little can also be trusted

  266. with much. And whomever is dishonest with very

  267. little, will also be dishonest in much. So there

  268. are two words that the Lord teaches us here.

  269. Ask yourself, can the Lord trust me with His

  270. finances? Ask. The question for you that I'm

  271. gonna ask is how much do you make a week? The

  272. next question is how much do you save out of

  273. what you get that week? So how much you make?

  274. And the second question is how much do you save?

  275. If you're not saving at least the 5 % of what

  276. you make, you're not qualified to receive more.

  277. So the people tell me when I ask them, why don't

  278. you save? They say because I don't have enough.

  279. But I didn't ask them that. You don't save because

  280. you don't have enough. The reason you don't save

  281. is not because you don't have enough. The reason

  282. you don't save is because you haven't learned

  283. to be a good steward of what the Lord has given

  284. you. And we're gonna see it with the Word. The

  285. next question that I got to ask is, am I dishonest?

  286. If you're not saving, let's read it again. he

  287. who is not trustworthy with the very little cannot

  288. be trusted with the very much and who is dishonest

  289. with the very little
