Revive - Friday Night

Buenas noches.

Good evening, everyone.

Beloved church.

A privilege and an honor to be here with you as well in this evening.

To be in your church.

And I was getting to know Pastor Ceci.

We were just meeting, and it was a great time.

And I feel like we just have already connected have such a beautiful friendship in such a short time.

And I believe that God is his love is what brings us together.

And it's just a beautiful thing.

He couldn't see any of the things that his friends had described day after day.

And he asked the nurse, why did my friend talk about all of these things that he was, he said he was seeing, but there's nothing here.

And then the nurse said, Didn't you know your friend was blind?

He would describe to his friend what he imagined, what he was seeing in his mind.

And we focus on things that really don't build us up.

And these are situations that come and they burden our hearts, they fill us with sadness.

And I just said, God, you have spoken here.

It was like we were just going somewhere, it's like spoil them, they're my children.

I want you to love on them.

And I just want to tell you tonight that God loves us all the days of every day of our lives.

And he wants to wrap his arms to our life.

He wants us to feel his love like spoiled children that just are being lavished with the love of their father.

And I remember praying.

But because he knew all that was in me, he came and he wrapped his arms around me.

And I just felt a love so great.

That I rose up in that place.

A love that came and wrapped around me and healed my heart.

And because I was able to receive his love, I was able to express that love to others.

The love of God is so great, is so faithful.

It's without limits.

And he always wants to show us his love.

Many different ways from the time you wake up, that you would feel his love.

The love of God shows you many, many ways.

That you would breathe the love, that you feel the love.

Because it's his love that upholds us.

And it's by his love that we're here.

And it's only because of him that we are who we are.

See what kind of love the Father has.

Is given to us.

We should be called the children of God.

God bless you, we love you.

And I just give glory to God for your lives.

Amen.

Can somebody say hallelujah?

Vamos, alguien puede ser Hallelujah.

Come on.

Can you say Hallelujah?

Alguien puede ser más fuerte.

Can you say it a little louder than that?

Hallelujah.

Alguien puede ser más fuerte.

Glory a Dios.

Can you say glory to God?

Gloria Dios.

Glory to God.

Glory a Dios.

Glory to God.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

As my wife said, we're happy to be with you again.

Amen.

Amen.

He is here in this place.

He is here.

Amen.

Amen.

We're joyful to be here.

The love of God that He's always showing us.

It was 20 years ago that we came to this church for the first time.

In a different building.

The people here are as beautiful as they were 20 years ago when we showed up.

Beautiful people here.

We came with a good friend.

For 20 years.

A man of God.

And I still miss him so much.

But I know he's in a good place.

He's in the best place.

So my prayer goes out to his family.

But one day, we had a friend, a mutual friend, Kim and I.

And I was in the midst of a trip, we were heading somewhere, we were in the airport.

And Kim called and he told me that our friend had passed away.

He said, Edwins died.

And it was a very shocking thing to hear.

But he said to me, But it's okay.

Edwin Edwin's in heaven.

He's in a better place.

You keep moving forward with the plan.

And I believe that that's what I'm doing here tonight.

Just following God's plan.

Those that we have lost, we know they're in a better place.

But we need to keep going forward with the plan.

We feel very comfortable with you.

Amen.

Just say, come on, you feel good tonight?

Tell your neighbor.

It's good to be here.

Because we are in a house.

It's a house where the Holy Spirit will.

How many of you say amen?

The Bible says that in the beginning, created the heavens and the earth and the earth.

It was empty.

It was in disorder.

And that there was darkness on the depth.

Everything was chaos.

There was nothing good.

It was all empty.

Everything was dark.

But the spirit of God.

The Spirit of God.

The Spirit of God.

It moved.

It was moving.

It doesn't matter what your life is like or anything.

It doesn't matter if there's chaos.

It doesn't matter if you've got a bad diagnosis.

It doesn't matter the problems that you have to do.

I don't know what your children are.

I don't know what your finances are.

Then something will change.

Things have to change.

Things will change.

Because will the Holy Spirit change?

Things change.

And your children will not be lost.

You just have to allow him to move.

We are the church of the Holy Spirit.

It's to the Holy Spirit.

I'm going to leave you with a comforter.

So he can be with you.

Forever.

Forever.

And he said, The world does not receive him, does not understand.

The world doesn't know this spirit.

Can perceive, you can know him.

You will know him.

Because he's with you.

And he will be in you.

We live in the time of the Holy Spirit.

It's the time of the Holy Spirit.

You have to tell the Holy Spirit to move in your life.

Because He can work everything out of the chaos and put it in the world.

He can make his light to shine in the darkness.

The world is void and empty.

And there's a lot of darkness out there.

And that's what happens out there.

And then the Holy Spirit comes and moves all the sudden.

We don't look for the answers out there.

The solution to the problem is in here.

The solution is in you.

It's in me.

We must allow the spirit to move.

Can you say amen?

Let's just give that round of applause to the Lord.

Yeah, let's just give it to the Lord tonight.

We're going to be in 2 Timothy chapter 4.

2 Timothy 4 · chapter mention

In verses 7 and 8.

The Apostle Paul gives a message here.

And it has three lessons.

How many of you like to learn?

How many of you like to learn?

We have a God who moves, who acts.

We understand that when he speaks, things happen.

And we see the Apostle Paul giving this message.

In a difficult place.

And he's just about to go to his death.

And sometimes we grab that verse.

And we use it in funerals.

When this person's life is already over.

And it's a good passage to go to in a funeral.

But I believe that it's a good passage for a church.

The word of God says, I have fought the good fight, and I have finished the race.

I have kept the faith.

Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

How many of you love the appearing of the Lord, his coming?

Amen.

Amen.

We see here three things.

He says, I have fought.

He says, I have fought the good fight.

And he says, I have run the race.

And I have kept.

So there's three things here.

I want to speak to you about fighting.

And about running.

And about keeping, guarding.

Say with me, fight.

Diga comigo correr.

Then say run.

Diga comigo guardar.

And then say guard.

He says, I have thoughts.

The church is called to fight.

We are not a passive church.

We were not called, brothers and sisters.

To be the most passive people in the world.

In Matthew 16.

And he said, What do people say?

Who do they say that I am?

Some people say you're Elijah.

That you're Jeremiah.

That you're John the Baptist.

Or another prophet.

But he said, But who do you say that I am?

Because it's not so much about what people think and say.

He wants to know what you think and say.

So he had his disciples there.

And there's Apostle Peter.

And he's ready to answer.

Me, me, me.

Okay, Peter, what do you got to say?

And he says, You are the Christ.

You are the son of the living God.

He wanted to win the prize that day.

And Jesus says, It is not my flesh or blood that this has been revealed to you.

So let's just put some brackets around this for a moment.

Because this isn't about religion.

Because when Jesus revealed himself, when he reveals himself to you, then there's no turning back.

And that day Jesus established.

He was there in the church.

He says, This is a revelation of my father.

It's not flesh or blood that is revealed to me.

My father has revealed this.

And I say to you, that you will no longer be called Simon.

But you will be called Peter.

And upon this rock.

And that's what it's like when Jesus reveals himself.

Because when we confess Christ, it's upon that rock.

And the gates of hell will not be able to prevail against her.

Because we are a church that is uniglesia para desconder.

You don't come to church to hide.

There is no devil.

There is no devil.

He makes us a powerful church.

And Paul says, I have fought.

You are not called, brothers, sisters.

Because when you sing in this place, you need to understand that something is happening.

Chains are being broken.

Because we've been called to fight.

You have not been called to flee.

You have not been called to hide.

As we see in Psalm 18.

It's one of my favorite psalms.

And I laid hold of my enemy.

And I they didn't come back.

And I did not return until I destroyed the fellow.

And I will not hold back.

Until I see every enemy fall.

I will not hold back.

Until my family's enemies fall.

I have fought.

You have been called to fight.

The Bible says that the weapons of our warners are not carnal or not of the flesh.

Don't look at my appearance.

Because inside of me is a giant.

And if you believe that, say amen.

God called his people to a promised land.

And were there no enemies?

There were enemies in the land, in the promised land.

How many of you would like it if I promise you something, but it belongs to somebody else?

It's like, okay, that I'm I promise you that car over there.

Go take it home.

But somebody else has the paperwork, that's their car.

No, no, no, eso es robo.

That would be the steal, right?

But God says, There's land that I am giving you.

And it flows with milk and honey.

And there it is.

Go scout it out.

Take a look.

Numeros capitular 13.

And we see in Numbers chapter 13.

Numbers 13 · chapter mention

That we see the people that were in the land.

When the spies were sent out, they come back with their reports.

And they say, There's giants in the land.

And this land it swallows themselves.

And they started to sow fear into everything.

But the spirit of God that was on Caleb.

He said, Let's get in there.

Let's go up.

Because we can do more than they can.

Because the spirit was also on Joshua.

And he said, Come on, they're like bread for the eating.

Let's get in there.

Those giants.

Those giants that are holding back the purpose of God.

They will fall.

Because greater is he who is with us than God.

God has called us to fight.

And Paul was coming to the end of his fight.

He had fought to the end.

He said, I have fought the good fight.

We are fighting.

We must continue to fight.

The church must fight for what belongs to us.

If your children aren't serving the Lord, fight for them.

Fight for them.

You've got to give the enemy an enemy.

You gotta fight for your health.

We go out in the victory of Christ.

We take that victory where it's needed.

You're fighting for your health.

You're fighting for someone else's health.

You've got to go into that place in the victory of Christ.

You must declare the situation over that place over your own body.

Ponga cara de peleador.

Come on, let's see your fight face.

Ah.

Show the person next to you.

Show him your fight face.

Come on, let's give a round of applause to the Lord.

I have thoughts.

Jeremias 15 19.

And if we can go to Jeremiah 15, 15 19.

In Jeremiah 15, 19, we're gonna see something about the promise here.

It says, Therefore, thus says the Lord, if you return, I will restore you, and you shall stand before me.

If you utter what is precious and not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth, and they shall turn to you, but you shall not turn to them.

Amen.

Amen.

He says, He says, If you turn to me, I will restore you.

And you will be before me.

That always respaldo de Dios.

We see here that God is promising to back us up.

You walk, and God is walking behind you.

Amen.

Amen.

You walk, and God is there.

You will be before me.

I was 10 years old.

And in my school, there was a big kid, he was like 13 years old.

And every day he hit me in the back of the head.

Every day.

And we would be lining up to go into class.

And for him, I think he just saw written on my shirt, bug me.

And he would just come and smack me.

And I hated him.

And I'm the fourth boy.

There's six brothers in my family, and I'm the fourth.

So I said to my older brother, the oldest.

And he was learning karate.

There's a big guy at school.

And he bugs me every day.

And one day, we were out on the field.

And he saw me and he was coming to bug me.

But he didn't know that I had a brother that was bigger than him.

And when he was coming over, my brother stood up at me behind me.

And then he turned around and went the other way.

And my brother ran after him.

That was the last day that he bugged me.

The enemy needs to know the greater one who is with you.

The greater one who conocer is come on.

He says, I have fought.

The Bible says that they will fight against you.

But they will not defeat you.

God spoke to Joshua.

And he said to him, No one will be able to stand against you in all the days of your life.

In all the days of your life.

And as I was with you, I will be with you also.

So you need to understand you have to fight for that which belongs to you.

Everything that is yours.

Everything that's lacking now.

Everything that God has promised.

And it's so close.

A fight.

That's the distance.

David was anointed as king.

But he went out to look after the sheep again.

And he did all the chores that his father sent him to do.

But he was just one giant.

So tell the person next to you.

You're just one giant.

There's just one giant between you on the purpose that God has planned for you.

David said, You come against me.

With a big, big sword.

With a big lance.

All these weapons.

All your weapons are huge.

And you're huge.

And you're coming against me.

With sword, with spear, with all these things.

I come against you.

The one who is fighting is the one.

You're just one giant.

We see quick.

We read that it says, I have fought the good fight.

And I have run the race.

How many of you are running here?

Your life is not to be static.

From the day that I first came to this place and I heard your name, I know I said, I know what this church is about.

Fe viva! Faith alive! Fe viva! Living faith! Faith alive! Wow! Come on! Fe viva! Fe viva! Nuestra fe está viva! Because your faith is alive! Wow! Your name is important.

The name of this place is important.

It's that identity.

It's your identity.

Living faith.

Faith alive.

You need to move in faith.

You must move.

You gotta move in living faith.

Vamos, ayudame.

Come on, help me out.

Vamos.

Feel faith alive.

Because haven't you seen, haven't you heard Isaiah 40?

That the eternal God is the Lord.

And he does not grow weary, he does not grow weak.

He gives strength.

He gives strength to those who have none.

The youth they grow weary and church.

Faith alive.

Faith alive, church.

Those who wait on the Lord.

Levantarán sus alas como el aire de Lord.

Rise up on wings like Evil.

Correrá! And they will run! No se cansará! And they will not grow weird.

Caminará! They will walk! Hallelujah! Tienes que correr, Iglesia! You've gotta move.

You've gotta run.

We're speaking of running.

You're not called.

Just be standing still.

You're faith alive.

He says, those who run in the stadium in the races.

He says, they run for real.

And there's only one who takes the prize.

He dice, corran de tal manera.

Run like that.

Corran de tal maneira.

Run like you gotta win.

Run like winners.

You're not listening to what I have to say.

You are not called to hold that.

He's speaking of athletes.

And he's speaking of many.

And there can be another one.

We're not talking about average and everybody.

But we're talking about those who have been called to win.

He says, run like the one who's gonna get the prize.

Run to win.

Corran para ganar.

Run to win.

Anybody can run.

But it's not enough to just run.

Run to win.

In Guatemala, in Guatemala, for much, they sold a mentality of losers into us.

And they would always say to us, you know, we would be heading into a match, a game, it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

The important thing is you're in the game.

That's a mediocre mentality.

You are not called to just put in time and be there.

That's not what I read in my Bible.

Run to win.

Run to win.

Corre para ganar.

Run to win.

And Paul also says, so train like those who are gonna win.

Because it says that the fighters, when they're training, they will abstain from everything.

It's a different mentality when you're trying to win.

It's a different sort of training.

People who are gonna make it to the Olympics.

They train for four years.

And they get out there and they practice six, eight hours a day.

So they can win.

In some of these competitions, they last seconds.

But they are training day after day.

And they sacrifice to win.

You know what my Bible says?

But if you would seek me, if you would cleanse your hands, if you would shine upon you.

He will cause your house, your home to prosper.

And even if your beginning was small, you will become great in your latter days.

You must train to win.

Train to win.

So I tell my church.

There's something that I saw and I'm like, this is the Holy Spirit.

For my church.

Wake up early today to pray for them.

One day you if you don't want to be waking up early in the morning worried about your kids, so don't put in the time now to pray for them.

Because we've got to run to win.

We're not competing against other people.

We compete against ourselves.

I can be better than Robert de ayer than Robert was yesterday.

Fight the live church, run to win.

Hallelujah! Pelea la buena batalla.

Fight the good fight.

Corre para ganar.

Run to win.

Y guarda la fe.

Keep.

Guard the faith.

How do we keep the faith?

Solamente, hermano, creyendo.

Simply by believing.

The Bible says that without faith.

Pero sin fe.

Without faith, it's impossible to please God.

Because all of those draw near to God must believe that he exists.

Those projects of faith, those things you're believing for.

Something will come our way.

Siempre que hay un proposito.

That purpose, that project.

That life.

Back in November 2023.

I was in rough shape.

The doctors were telling me your liver is shot.

It's not working.

It's a long story.

I'm just telling you a little bit.

This happened in November of 2023, and some of you will remember I came to Canada in December.

And I remember Pastor Brent.

He was looking at me really close.

And he was looking at the yellow colour in my face.

And he would open my eyes.

He was like, Are you okay?

Because I was I had a yellow colour to my body.

But I came that way.

And it was difficult to get around the house.

I would just go from the couch to the bathroom, and that was about all I could do.

I couldn't even climb the stairs to the next level.

If you go up to our bedroom, I was just down there.

He said, I'm ready to go.

If this is it, I'm ready to go with you.

If you have a purpose ahead in my life, then give me the health to go and do it.

Give me that healing.

And a few days later, Peten.

There was a crusade lined up in the north of Guatemala.

It had to go in plane to get there.

And I was the one who was putting this all together.

And there was a team from David Live here.

Pastor Barb was there.

And I don't know why.

But my family let me go.

And I was yellow and I had no strength.

I was the one who was putting this crusade together.

And we also had a seminar going on for the pastors.

And I showed up.

We had about 40 people there, Canadians, Americans, just a mixed group.

And they were praying.

And then a woman from the group sale corriendo.

She comes running contra me.

She comes running up to me.

And you have to understand, if I just moved, I deliver her.

And she comes, and there was a pastor there who knew how much pain I was in who tried to come and grab her hand before she could just bam hit me.

I was in pain just watching her come towards me.

But when the prayer was over, we went into the seminar.

It was difficult just to hold a microphone.

And I just started praying.

And God began to restore my strength.

And I remember the group, you know, the event was over and they went to see the Mayan ruins of Tical.

And Pastor Jose, that's from my church.

He was there, he had a motorcycle.

And you can imagine that's not a comfortable way to ride when you're going through something like that.

But we're a little crazy sometimes.

More crazy than Canadians, okay?

Let's just put it that way.

So I said to the pastor, go and buy a pound of salt.

Because I remember that story where Elisha took salt and he put it, he cast it into the water and said there would no longer be sickness or any death come out of this poisonous water.

And we were in a place on an island.

He went and he bought a pound of salt.

And I was behind him in the motorcycle.

And we went to a place where there wasn't so many people.

And I said, Come on, dunk me seven times.

And pour that salt on me.

Declare over me that there will be no more sickness, no more death.

And so they dunk me.

Seven times.

And after I went down the seventh time.

You must keep the faith.

You must activate your faith.

You must use your faith.

And I was preaching here in other places as well.

I was a little yellow when I came.

I went home, I was starting to get my colour back.

But just like the lepers.

They were being restored and made whole as they left.

Your faith must be activated.

You must fight.

You must run.

And you must believe.

It doesn't matter how old you are.

Nobody's too young.

Hallelujah! Because it's not about you.

It doesn't depend on us.

We must allow him to move.

We need to allow him to move tonight.

Let him move in our lives.

What's empty will be filled.

What is out of order?

He will put it in order.

And where there is darkness.

And he will shine forth.

Fuerte, Seigneur.

Come on, let's stand to the girl.

Come on, give him glory.

Ponte de pie.

Let's stand to our feet.

Ponte de pie.

Band, come up, let's stand.

Stand up.

Aleluya.

How many of you are ready?

Are you ready?

If God didn't want to do anything with your life, you wouldn't be here.

Sometimes we say, We say, the ones God wanted here.

I believe that God wants everyone.

But not only the ones that God wanted to do something for, but those of us who want something from God are here tonight.

And that's important to me.

He sees our heart.

He sees your willingness.

Put your hands on your heart and cierra tus ojos a moment.

Close your eyes for that.

And allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your life.

And may the Holy Spirit.

Allow him to move.

Allow him to speak in the name of Jesus.

From time eternal for your life.

For your family.

They are plans for God.

They are thoughts.

For a future.

He comes to give you a hope.

To give you hope.

He comes to give you hope.

In the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus.

There with your hands on your heart.

In the name of Jesus.

I just want to call it.

In the name of Jesus.

If God has spoken to you today.

Through this message.

Levanta tu mano.

Just raise your hand.

Levanta tu mano.

Levanta tu mano.

Tienes una mano levantada.

And if your hand is raised.

Levanta tus dos manos.

Raise them both.

In the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus.

Don't put your hands down yet.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know your life.

But I know that the Holy Spirit.

That if the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, He wants to be glorified in your life.

It's because God wants to break chains tonight.

Because God wants to heal tonight.

God wants to restore families tonight.

Because the Holy Spirit is here.

Leave your hands up.

We extend our faith.

We run that race.

We keep the faith.

In the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus.

And if your hands are raised, I invite you to come up.

Let's fill this.

You're fighting for your whole family.

In the name of Jesus, levanta tus manos.

Praise those hands.

Comienza hablar con él.

Comienza a hablar con él.

Él está aquí, se está en la música.

He is here.

He is here to move.

He's here to move.

Pero resucitaste and you rose from the dead.

Power of the Spirit of God.

For elder delítuo.
