Welcome to Burning Lab Podcast The daily refresh
-
for your life Jesus is the center of everything
-
we do Burning Lab Church I've been doing finance
-
seminars for 15 years Financial conferences for
-
15 years. Radio, talk show radio, every day.
-
But I'm shaking. I'm still shaking and it's still
-
so nerve wracking. Why? Because I know that when
-
I'm speaking about money, I'm also speaking about
-
the heart of the bride. Because Jesus said, where
-
is your treasure? That is where your heart is.
-
And each time I sit with families, when they
-
open up their wallets, they show me their hearts.
-
And I know what's valuable, that money and finances,
-
the value that money and finances have for the
-
bride of today. So what do you think if we pray?
-
I'm going to close my eyes. So beloved father,
-
precious father, and this time once more, we
-
lift up our voices with the angels, with the
-
archangels, and with the saints, and we say,
-
blessed. blessed, blessed, holy, powerful, beloved,
-
precious Jesus, our beloved. We continue hunger
-
for you. We continue to thirst for you. We're
-
truly awaiting you, just as the bride sits desperately
-
to see her bridegroom. This is how we are today,
-
beloved Father. Hoy disponemos nuestra mente
-
para tener el conocimiento que tú nos quieres
-
dar Hoy disponemos nuestra voluntad para recibir
-
la sabiduría que tú nos vas a entregar To prepare
-
us for the times that are coming. We love you
-
Jesus. We bless you. And we make our hearts available.
-
Amen. I'm shaking not because I'm nervous. Well,
-
maybe a little. My heart is shaking with what
-
the Lord has given us these last two days. And
-
this topic that we're going to speak of has a
-
great responsibility over us. Our conference
-
is based on Revelation 7, 9, and 8. Rejoice and
-
be glad because the wedding of the Lamb is at
-
hand. and the bride has prepared herself. She's
-
now the wife, she's no longer the bride. So the
-
bride doesn't have any rights over the bridegroom.
-
But the wife does. When you're a bride, nothing
-
of the bridegroom is yours yet. But when you're
-
a wife, Everything of your husband is now yours.
-
So begin taking that to your heart. Everything
-
of my husband is mine. My prayer is that this
-
word may be revealed to your heart and you begin
-
to see You see yourself as the wife, no longer
-
as the bride. But we're going to speak of a wedding.
-
Today we're going to marry the father. At least
-
in our finances. So a wedding is costly, correct?
-
So you need money, correct? And a beautiful wedding
-
like we want to have is even more expensive.
-
So what is my responsibility with this topic?
-
The key point here, and write this down. God
-
doesn't come for a bride that is in debt, that
-
is dependent of the system. God comes for a wife.
-
that's healthy and free. And for context of this
-
topic, we're going to direct these scriptures
-
to the finances. We're going to begin with what
-
is the bride room? What happens in a bride room?
-
I'm going to ask you. Como fue el preparativo
-
como se preparó el día cuando ya la van a peinar
-
a maquillar el velito que había en esa habitación.
-
I want to ask you Nervios que más I want to ask
-
you how it was when you were getting ready You
-
were nervous you were happy go so came out joyful.
-
What else was there? makeup What else? What is
-
the bride doing? Who's surrounding her? Who's
-
helping her? So spiritually, it's where the bride.
-
You prepare yourself. It's not passiveness. And
-
there's no religiousness here. It's a preparation
-
that's strategic and with integrity and active.
-
There are women that are filled with the Spirit,
-
but really filled with the Spirit. But they're
-
empty in financial wisdom. And it's because the
-
question is, why? Aren't I supposed to have everything?
-
Isn't it the fact that I'm filled with the Spirit
-
isn't that part of it? What's happening with
-
me? Why aren't my finances where they're supposed
-
to be? I've seen many women that pray for blessing,
-
but they don't get prepared to administer it.
-
blessings are coming. The blessing comes, but
-
I see you stressful. I see you nervous. Yeah,
-
now you don't have a coach purse. Now you have
-
a Louis Vuitton. And now they're not putting
-
salve in their face. Now they're putting Botox.
-
And now we're not just covering our gray hair.
-
Now we put extensions on. You have hair extension,
-
then you have the eyelash extensions. You have
-
the extension of your nails. And extension in
-
your butt. Nowadays that's the most popular surgery
-
that you could get. So they prayed for the blessing
-
and God gave it to them. It's not bad. Put those
-
extensions wherever you want to put them. It's
-
okay. But are you administrating what you have?
-
Is your richness bringing stress? Are you a wife
-
of a businessman? Are you yourself a businesswoman?
-
But do you have a life filled with stress? Where
-
you can't sleep? That's not richness. That's
-
having money. It's a fake. That's not the bride.
-
And that's not the wife. Jesus spoke more about
-
money than of faith. He knew that because the
-
heart and money are connected. That's why he
-
spoke about that. He said a word that impacted
-
me so much and the Lord took me to study it so
-
much. And it was the parable of the five wise
-
women and the five foolish women. And that's
-
Matthew 25, 113. And write that down because
-
that's gonna be your homework. And when you go
-
home, I'm gonna give you a lot of homework. So
-
in this, he speaks about ten virgins, he speaks
-
about ten minds, he speaks about ten plagues,
-
and God uses the number ten so much. What does
-
number 10 mean? Why tithing? The 10 % of what
-
I have, I'm going to bring to the house of the
-
Lord. It doesn't mean and it doesn't say That
-
the 10 % belong to the Lord Because the reality
-
of it is When you understand this When the Lord
-
reveals it to you And it's a spiritual revelation
-
Your finances will change Let me tell you how
-
this changed me At the age of 13, I was abused
-
by my father, psychologically, sexually, in all
-
senses. That abuse made me a parent at the age
-
of 15. At the age of 16, I was a parent to two
-
girls. And it was a product of that abuse. I
-
didn't have an education. I grew up in Mexico
-
in a province where we didn't even have our own
-
water. We didn't even have toilet paper. We had
-
to use stones. We had one dress for school and
-
then one dress to be at home. I really grew up
-
in extreme poverty. That is my trasfondo. The
-
abuse lasted from the age of 13 to the age of
-
19. From the age of 19 to the age of 36 a transformation
-
within me happened. At the age of 34 I won my
-
first million dollars. I've never won anything
-
less after that time. How did I do it? Magic?
-
No, no. I had an encounter with the living God.
-
And that God healed me, transformed me from my
-
inside out. Amen, exactly. An applause for the
-
Lord. I'm going to get out of the topic for a
-
little bit. Because yesterday, when I got here,
-
The Lord began to remind me of that. She was
-
preaching. She wasn't speaking about me or everything
-
I've been through. I remember this and then the
-
Lord speaks. And today I am somehow influenced.
-
People listen. I counsel thousands of families
-
in the financial area. I've helped thousands
-
of families to get out of poverty. So I have
-
a little bit of influence. But the Lord told
-
me, Abelina, I don't love you. Because you bring
-
women to my altar. Because you minister to the
-
hearts of women. Because you've taken people
-
out of poverty. Because you have money. While
-
she was preaching, the Lord showed me where he
-
brought me out of. When I was in a corner, my
-
family didn't speak to me. My family didn't love
-
me. My own family hated me. I was the black sheet
-
of my family. It was my fault. For everyone,
-
it was my fault. I provoked the abuse. I didn't
-
have a boyfriend? I wish I would have had at
-
least a lover. So he could help you just a little
-
bit. But I didn't even have that. Nothing. I
-
was in a corner. I didn't have money. Not even
-
to eat. Not even to feed my own daughters. Not
-
even to buy them diapers. My babies were here.
-
But they didn't use diapers. They would use clothes
-
that I would gather from the trash. I would mix
-
milk with water to give them something to eat.
-
No one would give anything for me. No one gave
-
anything for me. No one is interested in me.
-
I didn't have clothes. No one would give me a
-
shirt. I would grab them from the trash. And
-
from there he lifted me up. From there he loved
-
me. From there he chose me. When you're nothing.
-
When you're no one. When you think no one is
-
watching. When you think you're not valuable.
-
When you feel that you're dying of pain. That's
-
where he found me. That's where he lifted me
-
up. How did the million dollars come? Now I have
-
to learn his principles. Now I have to study
-
the principles of the king. That's how the million
-
dollars came. That's how the businesses that
-
have come have came. That's how the houses have
-
come. That's how the lands have come. That's
-
how the businesses have come. I learned the principles
-
of the king. And that's what he wants to teach
-
you today. Do you want them? Do you truly want
-
them? Are you ready? There are changes that you're
-
going to have to do. So let's go with the virgins
-
that were wise and the virgins that were foolish.
-
The wise. They save oil. Waiting for the bridegroom
-
to come. And we've heard these couple days, yesterday
-
and today, that there's a cambio that's coming
-
in the finances. There's a shift that's coming.
-
There's a shaking in las finanzas. No te pongas
-
comoda. Don't get comfortable. You live in the
-
richest country and powerful country. And even
-
though you think you're poor, you are not poor.
-
But that is coming. Because a persecution is
-
coming. How are you going to prepare? And that's
-
where we're going. So when we speak about this,
-
we're going to change the meaning of the oil
-
for a little bit. Because oil in the Bible also
-
means a lot of money. We're going to go, do you
-
remember that widow woman that was dying? And
-
then the prophet comes, and she says, I'm going
-
to die. I have a little bit of flour and a little
-
bit of oil. And what did the prophet tell her?
-
Bring it. Bring dishes. Bring all the pots that
-
you have that you can find. She didn't ask, well
-
for what? So the first thing you have to do is
-
to prepare yourself. So how am I going to prepare
-
myself? I'm going to show you right now. The
-
word of the Lord is going to tell us. And he
-
tells her, first give me something to eat. The
-
Lord says, what do you have for him? The prophet
-
was acting as a type of god. He didn't make you
-
empty. What do you have for him? What is the
-
last thing you have for him? She said, I'm dying.
-
After I eat this with my son, that's it. I'm
-
going to die. What do you have? Right now. Write
-
it down. If you don't have it right now, go back
-
home and ask the Lord. Because you do have something.
-
There's something that you have. So what do you
-
have? He comes, he fills it, and that woman became
-
a millionaire. Because she had a big debt. So
-
not only did he pay the debt, but then she had
-
money left over. So money also has a context
-
of money. So when you read the Bible, let's read
-
it in that context. So there were 10 virgins.
-
Five prepared themselves. Five had oil. And the
-
five saved it when the bridegroom came. He didn't
-
find them. Being poor, he didn't find them. Dying
-
of hunger, he didn't find them. He didn't find
-
them just laying around, but the other five he
-
did. Why? They stayed how? They stayed asleep.
-
Oh, why am I going to say? And this is so embarrassing.
-
i have some people come to me and they're like
-
oh i listen to you the radio i've heard you for
-
15 years and i just love how you speak and i
-
ask them well have you applied anything that
-
i've spoken oh no but i really like what you
-
said because you were right but have you applied
-
it and see this is what i'm saying they need
-
to come to me make an appointment so that we
-
can do an x -ray on you and tell you where you're
-
malpracticing that money wow So spiritual preparation
-
without spiritual wisdom. spiritual preparation
-
without financial wisdom, which is what we've
-
learned these two days. It's a door that can
-
be closed. I got a little nervous. He's seen
-
me talk about finances so many times, but I still
-
get nervous. I'm going to look this way. So we're
-
going to speak about the principles of the kingdom
-
so that you can be prepared. So the first thing
-
we're going to do is apply. Let's go to Luke
-
16, 10. And now I'm going to read it in English.
-
I speak Spanish too in English. Okay. Okay. Luke
-
16 says, whoever can be trusted with very little.
-
can also be trusted with much. In the Hebrew
-
Bible, I went to go look for it because I wanted
-
a more definitive version of it. The word faithful
-
means that you can trust the very, very little
-
to someone. So I'm gonna read it again. Whomever
-
can be trusted with very little can also be trusted
-
with much. And whomever is dishonest with very
-
little, will also be dishonest in much. So there
-
are two words that the Lord teaches us here.
-
Ask yourself, can the Lord trust me with His
-
finances? Ask. The question for you that I'm
-
gonna ask is how much do you make a week? The
-
next question is how much do you save out of
-
what you get that week? So how much you make?
-
And the second question is how much do you save?
-
If you're not saving at least the 5 % of what
-
you make, you're not qualified to receive more.
-
So the people tell me when I ask them, why don't
-
you save? They say because I don't have enough.
-
But I didn't ask them that. You don't save because
-
you don't have enough. The reason you don't save
-
is not because you don't have enough. The reason
-
you don't save is because you haven't learned
-
to be a good steward of what the Lord has given
-
you. And we're gonna see it with the Word. The
-
next question that I got to ask is, am I dishonest?
-
If you're not saving, let's read it again. he
-
who is not trustworthy with the very little cannot
-
be trusted with the very much and who is dishonest
-
with the very little
