(00:01):
A word from God' s heart. Today we are going to talk,
to listen to the voice of Godor to hear what we really want to
hear all of us. Everything wehear goes through a filter, which is
what is in our heart and ourmind that has been sown to Jim and
we start filtering all things and wesee them as we interpret them. We
(00:26):
interpret everything differently. There could bepeople who are in one place at the
same time looking in the same directionand if we asked them what they are
seeing, each would give a differentinterpretation. That makes all of us different
from what is in our hearts.There can be pain, there can be
(00:46):
pride, there can be sadness,there can be joy, there can be
faith, and everything in our heartsallows us to interpret what comes through our
eyes and ears. We also hearwhat we want to hear suddenly a word.
One day we say how hard theyhave spoken to me and it really
is not, but I perceived itand interpreted it that way. They'
(01:08):
re talking bad about me. Itmay not be real, and yet I
received it and interpreted it that way. And let' s see how.
Sometimes we also cheat and want tohear the things that tell us that everything
is okay. Thus, our actsare not correct or untrue before the Lord
and we want to receive blessing whenthere is no obedience, and we want
(01:30):
to buy God' s favor andwe want the Lord to always be with
us, when our heart is farfrom him and we declare a number of
plans and we give orders to Godand then we realize that things don'
t work that way. Biblically,the Lord teaches us that obedience is the
(01:51):
way to blessing. And when wewalk in disobedience, we will find difficulties
and we will find consequences of thoseobedience along our way. But God will
always be there. His mercy willalways be, says the word every day.
His mercy is new, and hismercy will cover us in such a
(02:12):
way that it will give us time. The Lord that we first repent to
turn our hearts to him to straightenout the paths. But as long as
we persist in the mind, indeception, in self- deception, as
the apostle Paul says to the Galatians, there is recorded in the letter A
the Galatians is said to hear usdeceive. No one can deceive God all
that man sows that gathers. So, you tell yourselves lies. Oh if
(02:37):
you deceive yourselves, God will neverbe deceived. So we decide whether we
pretend to deceive God and end upbeing deceived, or actually listen to God
' s voice. I' mgoing to take as this reference passage the
first book of Kings, in chaptertwenty- two and let' s talk
(02:57):
about Acá. We all know thestory of Here. A man who married
a wicked woman, a bad woman, a woman who worshiped idolater, who
worshiped other gods, the vouchers.And this woman, Elizabeth, did much
harm because she came to the peopleto turn her heart away from God and
worship vouchers. And yesterday there wasthis man with a character let' s
(03:20):
say it somehow a little weak,making it that this woman told him and
yet with her plans, thinking thatthere would always be victory for him.
It says the word of God inthe first book of Kings, in chapter
twenty- two verse one. Thenthree years passed without war between the Syrians
and Israel, and it came topass in the third year that Jehoshaphat king
(03:42):
of Judah went down to the kingof Israel, and the king of Israel
told his servants. You do notknow that Ramón de Galat is ours and
we have done nothing to take herfrom the hand of the King of Syria.
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Thouwilt come with me to fight against
Ramoth of Galath, and Jehoshapha answeredthe king of Israel. I am like
you and my people, as youcan and my horses like your horses.
Then Jehoshaphat said to the King ofIsrael. I beg you to consult Jehovah
(04:05):
’ s word today. Then theKing of Israel gathered the prophets about four
hundred men to whom he said Iwill go to war against Ramoth of Galath,
or I will leave her, andthey said go up: for the
LORD will deliver her into the king' s hand, and Jehoshaphat said,
There is still here a prophet ofthe LORD for whom we shall consult.
The King of Israel answered Jehoshaphat.There is still one man by whom we
(04:29):
could consult Jehovah. Micaiah the sonof Imla Mas, I hate him because
he never prophesies me well, butonly evil, and Jehoshaphat said not to
speak the king. So the kingof Israel called an officer, and said
to him, Bring quickly Micah theson of Inla, and the king of
Israel, and Jehoshapha the king ofJudah, they sat each in a chair,
clothed in their royal robes in thestreet, by the entrance of the
(04:51):
gate of Samaria; and all theprophets prophesied before them, and the son
of Kenana had made an iron horn, and thus saith the LORD with these,
thou shalt go over to the Syriansuntil they were finished. And all
the prophets prophesied likewise, saying,Ramoth goeth up from Galath, and thou
shalt prosper (05:10):
for the LORD shall
deliver it into the king' s hand
; and the messenger that went tocall Micah spake unto him, saying,
Behold, the words of the prophetsspeak good things unto the king with one
voice. Now let your word beaccording to the word of one of them,
and declare also good success. Andmy fall answered. As the LORD
liveth, that which the LORD shallspeak unto me, so shall I say,
(05:31):
he cometh; for unto the kingand the king Micah saith, we
shall go and fight against Ramoth ofGalath, or we shall forsake it,
and he answereth, and thou shaltgo up, and prosper, and the
LORD shall deliver it into the king' s hand, and the king saith
unto him. How many times willI require you not to tell me,
but the truth in Jehovah’ sname? Then said he, I saw
all Israel scattered through the mountains likesheep that they have not, Shepherd,
(05:51):
and Jehovah said these have not.Lord turn each one to his house in
peace and the King of Israel toldJehoshaphat I had not told you anything is
good. He will prophesize about me, but only evil. Then he said,
Hear then the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on
his throne, and all the hostof heaven stood by him on his right
hand and on his left. Andthe LORD said, Who shall cause him
(06:15):
here to go up and fall inRamoth of Galar? And one said in
one way, and another said inanother, and a spirit came out,
and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will persuade him, and Jehovah
said to him in what way?And he said, I will go out,
and I will be a spirit oflies in the mouth of all his
prophets; and he said, Thoushalt lead him forth, and thou shalt
yet accomplish it. So go anddo it like this, and now here
you are. Jehovah has placed theSpirit of Lie in the mouth of all
(06:38):
your prophets and Jehovah has decreed evilupon You. Then he came near with
quias, son of Nana, andstruck my fall on the cheek, saying
where the spirit of the LORD wentfrom me to speak to thee, and
my fall answered, and here youwill see him on that day when you
will go into your room to hideyourself. Then the King of Israel said,
" Take my caiah and take himto Ammon, governor of the city,
(07:00):
and to Joash, the king's son, and you shall say,
" Thus says the king cast intoprison and keep him with bread of
distress and with water of affliction untilI return in peace and let us stop
there" Look at this passage.Tremendous, tremendous in what happened in the
life of Acá and in what happensin our time. Today we are living
something like this and we do notlike being told the truth. Just like
(07:25):
that, we don' t liketo hear the truth. To the truth.
We respond with anger, we respondwith pain, we respond with anger,
we respond with an attack it isas if they hurt us with the
truth, then we always want tobe listening to the lie, the lie
that they tell us. It's all right, you, you'
re fine. You' re right. While you obey the voice of men
(07:47):
and please quiet men. God iswith you and he is not. It
is not what the word of Godspeaks to us. God' s word
to us leads us to the truth. And that truth in our lives brings
freedom there, in the Gospel ofJohn, in chapter eight, Jesus speaks
to his own. Jesus speaks thecrowds around. Jesus speaks to man,
(08:13):
to the heart of every man andevery woman and tells them and you will
know the truth and the truth willmake you free. You know what the
answer was. Free of what ifwe' ve never been slaves. The
question is how do we feel thatwe live in freedom, because we leave
home in the morning, because wego to work, because we do one
(08:35):
thing to the other, because wemake a decision. Today I go to
church today I don' t goout today and I don' t go
out I' m going to puton such clothes, I' m going
to go to lunch in such arestaurant. We think that' s freedom
free of him. If we havenever been slaves the questions if we look
at it from a political point ofview, for they had already lived in
times of captivity And indeed, atthe time when Jesus is speaking to them.
(08:58):
Rome is nothing that has political control, power at that time, that
is, that indirectly they were,they were in Egypt, they were in
captivity and yet they felt free.That is one of the greatest lies of
the enemy to make us believe thatwe do not need God and that we
(09:20):
do not need to be free.And yet Jesus, as always, goes
much further to the bottom of thematter and says everyone who commits sin is
a slave to sin. Here wasa man who, by his weakness and
marrying this woman, led all thepeople to idolatry, led all the people
to error. And the Lord,as the word says here in this passage,
(09:43):
had made a decision. And thatdecision was that this man, this
man' s life, was goingto come to an end. Four hundred
prophets were around him, four hundredthere were many people telling him. God,
is he with you? God,is he with you? God,
is he with you? You andI know the outcome of this story and
(10:03):
it is that here he died andhere, however, he thought he made
a gem strategist, a trap therethat the enemy put him in his head,
because thus satan sets us up todevise how to avoid the word of
God, how to find a shortcutto go to purpose in our equal way.
(10:24):
Yet he shows us the word ofGod that fell, because God had
established it that way and everyone saidto him," God is with you
" The victory is yours so youwill win Jehoshaphat, who was a man
who had ended up being relatives within- laws. Josafat was a man
who said I don' t know. There' s something strange here.
(10:46):
Here' s something that doesn't fit me, because everyone' s
saying everything as much as it lookslike a script. But I' d
like to hear someone tell us somethingin a different way. Well, if
there' s anyone, how manytimes the micaías happen to them the same
as my fall. And that's when you speak the truth, that
says the one who has the power. I don' t like you telling
(11:09):
me the truth. I' mfeeling attacked for jail, for jail you
go and eat bread of distress andwater of distress, almost nothing true,
because, to tell the truth andthe truth was one you' re going
to die. And you' regoing to die because everything man sows that
collects. The Lord speaks the truthto you every day. You hear the
(11:33):
truth when you can turn on theradio, on a radio station, on
a television channel, someone many timesthe Lord will use someone like that,
someone unconverted to confront you and theHoly Spirit will redeem you, run away,
to call you to what, toobedience, to call you to genuinely
surrender your life to the Lord.And yet we harden our hearts. And
(11:56):
by hardening our heart, we sayno. I don' t like those
words. I want to hear wordsthat encourage my sin, my mistake.
I want to hear that I'm okay. When truth is spoken in
a congregation, when a pastor,when a preacher, when a leader rises
up to speak the truth and callto repentance and to call, to put
(12:16):
the heart and the gaze on thelord and remove it from idols, because
at this time they were the vouchersand you know who was baal that deity
that many peoples worshiped around the peopleof God. The vaal is a thief
of God' s glory. Hewants to steal praise and worship from the
Lord a false God who, aswe also see in these passages of the
(12:39):
First Book of Kings, never respondedwhen his prophets cried and prayed and was
the God of rain and fertility.And it turns out he didn' t
answer anything, absolutely nothing, becausethat' s what idols do. Idols
do not respond and sometimes we turnmen into idols. We take Pastor,
(13:00):
the leader, we turn them intoidol entrepreneurs, we make them idolized by
fame, everything we see today inculture, in celebrities, we turn them
into idols on social networks, weidolize money, we idolize work and we
idolize a lot of things and wetake our gaze away from the Lord'
(13:20):
s heart and we put it inidols and there he was allowing all this
and leading all the people to thislie and this deception, and the Lord
had declared giving him opportunity to repent, giving him the opportunity to straighten his
ways by his mercy. The Lordwas waiting, as with each of these
(13:41):
men in the Bible. Many repentedand you know what they found, forgiveness,
the grace of God. But therewere also many like this who did
not and this man was there readyto go to battle. I want to
go to battle and I want togo and come with me, you'
re like my relative, and let' s join the two of us and
(14:03):
go to war. Was there somethinghere that didn' t fit me?
Is there something here that doesn't seem concrete straight to me? Is
there something here that doesn' tseem blunt to me? And yet they
went and there he died here because. Because the truth was spoken to her
and she wouldn' t listen toit. How many times has the Lord
(14:26):
sent a messenger to speak the truthto you. Go back to the First
Love to tell you the truth?Remove the idols to tell you the truth.
Repent from your sin so that Imay speak the truth to you.
Look where you fell. Start restoringyour relationship with God. Turning your heart
to the Lord at this time,do not close your ears to the truth.
(14:48):
A lot of people are gonna tellyou everything' s okay. Many
will tell you that salvation is bought. Many will tell you that as long
as you have money, you canbuy a place in God’ s Kingdom.
But the Lord wants your heart,a contrite and humbled heart, which
he does not despise, a heartthat turns to him. That' s
what the Lord wants You know onething happens to all of us in the
(15:13):
spiritual life that sometimes we start good, we get to the Church and we
have need. We cry, weask the Lord for a miracle, we
ask the Lord to work. Weask the Lord to cover us with his
mercy and he does it and theLord keeps us and the Lord begins to
restore our life. And we startand there' s a fire in our
(15:33):
heart. But one day time goesby and one day we realize, that
we serve, that we preach,that we do, that we run,
that we do so many things,but we forget God and forget to ask
God for direction. And we haveplans and we have projects and one day
we find ourselves saying at what timesI started to do all this and at
(15:56):
what time God kept silent because Ididn' t disgust him again. I
started listening to the one who applaudedme. I started listening to the one
who told me all right go on. I started listening to the one who
told me there' s no needto regret you. I started listening to
one, the other, the other. And I started listening and listening and
listening and listening to the lie.And that lie leads us on a path
(16:18):
of loneliness, of failure, offrustration, of defeats. It' s
the way to death. And thereI was on my way to death and
I was falling venom and in away in a moment when they tell him
to look. What you have tosay is the same thing all the others
are saying. And this man saidno. I am going to speak what
(16:41):
God shows me of what God tellsme, because my falls were a God
- fearing man, because this wasa true prophet. He wasn' t
there to sweeten people' s heartsas they went to hell. Bravo,
you' re all right. Whilegoing to hell, many did not,
this man was speaking to him theword of God. You' re going
(17:02):
to die and you' re goingto die wrapped in your lie and your
deception. Your prophets, all aroundyou are telling lies. And what he
did hereb was put him in jailand what he did to Cab was accuse
him. The messenger will always bethe bad guy in history. And when
God uses you to speak the truthto someone, that may happen. Or
(17:23):
when the Lord uses a means likethis to speak the truth to many homes,
to a lot of life, aradio station, a message on the
Internet, a television channel, maybea lot will say. I didn'
t like that part. I didn' t like why,' cause I
wanted them to tell me something goodand it' s good. I already
wanted them to tell me that Iam well and you know why there is
(17:45):
so much eagerness of many to hearthat they are well, because deep down
in their hearts they know that theyare not right before God, because deep
down in their hearts they know thatthey are not doing right and are not
upright before the Lord. That iswhy it is necessary and they feel that
it is necessary for a prophet torise from the lie to tell him not
(18:10):
to be quiet, everything is fine, but the Lord wants you to know
the truth so that you will befree for that truth. What do you
think if we turn our hearts tothe Lord today and renounce lying to hear
lies, false prophets, false messagestelling us that everything is fine, everything
is fine and everything is fine,when deep down in our hearts we know
(18:33):
that there are many things we dothat do not please God and that we
may get used to hearing the lie. And although the truth seems to hurt,
the truth in which it brings lifeand you know what Jesus said and
you will know the truth and thetruth will set you free. And I
' m going to pray for youfor the Lord to bring freedom. Heavenly
Father in the name of Jesus.I thank you for your truth. Your
(18:57):
truth restores your truth, transforms yourtruth freedom And I thank you, beloved,
Lord, for it is your truthin which we must walk. You
are the way, the truth andthe life, and we, sir,
draw near to you in faith inthis hour by telling you, Lord Forgive
(19:18):
us, for having heard and treasuredthe lie and kept the lie our heart,
for that lie has led us tothe wrong fruit. It is not
the fruit we are called to bear, that abundant fruit and blessing in our
lives. Forgive us. Forgive us, Lord forgive us, and we turn
to you with all our heart toreceive that truth, sir, which though
(19:41):
it sometimes seems to hurt in whatwe need and really, the pain is
not in the truth, but inus, for not wanting to release the
lie to which we have embraced.I thank you, sir, for your
word, for the freedom you arebringing pastors, leaders, ministers, all
those people who are connected to thischannel. Lord, in different places,
(20:04):
fill their hearts with the truth,their lives with the truth, their homes
with the truth, their ministries withthe truth, that is, with you,
beloved Jesus, because you are thetruth and your word, beloved God,
is the truth. Thus, sir, that we renounce all lies and
