If the Lord does not build the house , those who build it work in vain, brother. You can put whatever clothes you want, you can blindfold your eyes, you can cover your ears, you can change your city, change your Congregation, change your religion, Only God can sanctify you. Of course you do your part by allowing yourself to submit to this but you want something deeper with us you want something deeper with us brothers much deeper more authentic more real and like I said the devil he doesn't want you to do the his will the devil wants you to do his will by doing your own will you may be disconnected with God's will and as I said this morning there are things in your life that you don't have to pray for but you have to decree you have what to decree and say I'm not going to do this and I'm not and stop watching other people's lives you have to take care of your own you have to set limits for yourself you have to be radical with yourself and tolerant of others holiness is that brother is you being radical with you a person who walks with a string to measure others is not holy he is boring he is critical he is religious you have to measure yourself measure your mind measure your heart measure your life measure your words measure your intentions Amen brothers Amen there are people who want to say to her like this, if I give you a cat You take care of his seven lives leave me alone now your attitude will determine your altitude your attitude in God will determine your altitude in God your place in God time doesn't make you grow dear what makes you grow is what you do with time Oh I'll wait for the time I'll grow no time doesn't make you grow you can you can grow biologically hiding your problems is but I'm already ripe brother the fact that the fruit is ripe doesn't mean it's sweet [Music] there is fruit that ripens but is sour so Christianity is very simple to live it is very easy to live but you have to being from me around Christ cannot be around something else we are at a conference here and conference the name already says it is a conference to check out when I go to a conference I don't go just to receive I go to check out what is being said that's why it's good to take notes If you take my notes here from everyone who spoke here since Monday, I myself spoke on Monday If you take the notes of what was sung and what was taught, brothers, you can make a book right, because it seems like one person stops the car, the other comes and sits, starts the car and continues, so we brought her together here at a conference to check and we need to check what we say because conference comes from checking So we're not here just receiving, being emotionally activated we are here checking out what God has said for these days Amen and I have to treat things firstly spiritually I can't treat things from the flesh it has to be from the Spirit hallelujah amen amen and that's all of this and it all begins With me, it doesn't have to do with the church, it doesn't have to do with the nation, it doesn't mean I take my notes that I made here these days and I try to take them to my city so that my church can multiply something that I myself am not living because when you multiply what you did not understand you only increase ignorance now Matthew 3:19 says when someone heard the gospel of the kingdom and did not understand the evil one came and stole the seed there.
So I need to understand this understanding will generate understanding an understanding will generate an action and this action, brothers, will determine as the days go by if I am really understanding what God is saying When God wants to start or restart something he starts, it always starts with the individual, it's me, so it's me, I already I said it a million times, I'm just leading the ministry, serving in this house, serving in the mevan, we only started the mevan on February 8 , 2001 because I got involved, I was in a meeting of workers in a house in a church and when the pastor started talking and There was a revelation I jumped up and said it's me, pastor, in reality I didn't say it's not me, I didn't even conjugate the verb, I said it's me, you don't need to conjugate the verb to do what God told you, you need to obey, pastor, he started talking, saying, look, God is going to do it. he's going to do this here in tajir he's going to get up and okay I jumped in front crying and said, it's me, Pastor João, he did it like this, brother Luí Herm, that's it, it's over, I say, it's me, now it's me, I took a place, I knew it, I didn't understand, didn't I? I did n't understand, but I wanted to, I wanted to, and I went to do it.
I closed my ears, I stopped taking care of everyone's lives. I went to take care of my own, our children's anger, I went inside. No one gave me the opportunity, no one called me to preach, no one gave me a microphone, no one gave me a pulpit, no one gave me an opportunity except my pastor, João, who believed because he prophesied, Alelu, he saw, he saw, sometimes I got lost along the way, I went astray, I went to my mouth to use drugs, he went there to look for me, Luiz said, remember what God told you and I hide in my pants, pastor, but I can't face it, it's very bad, it's very difficult, said Luiz, remember what God tells you, God will lift you up, pastor boy, you don't have money to eat, I don't have money to pay the bills.
How will God lift me up ? So you, you don't need to know anything, you don't need to have anything, you just need to believe. You need to believe in a word, you need to love the glory of God, Amen, I'll say it again, you need to love the glory of God, amen.
open with me your Bible in the Gospel According to what he wrote [Music] João Hallelujah Hey more than anything we want your glory more than anything we want your [Music] GL your glory Lord John Chapter 12 Senai and Verse number [Music] 37 says so John 12:37 despite having performed all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still did not believe in him so that the word of the prophet Isaiah Lord would be fulfilled, who was part of Our preaching and to whom the arm of the Lord was revealed, so they could not believe Because like Isaiah says in another passage he blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts so that they would not see with their eyes or understand with their hearts and they would convert and I would heal them. Isaiah said this because he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke about him, however much among the authorities believed in him but because of the Pharisees they did not confess their faith because they were afraid of being expelled from the synagogues because they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God God called us to love his glory not to remain half a dozen things that he gave us God called us to love his glory not to be attached to some things that he himself gave us loving the glory of God without obedience is impossible brother it is impossible they loved men more than God And whenever I I'm not listening to the Lord I certainly am Hearing something else Jesus did miraculous signs and they didn't believe and didn't believe it's not because they didn't want to, it's because there was a prophecy that they would come and see and wouldn't believe why Because no one could convert before the Cross whoever converts without the Cross converts to the benefit of the gospel and not the purpose of the Gospel that is why right after the Cross when the church is filled with the Holy Spirit Peter in the first word 3000 people give themselves to Christ but before Jesus said I preach so that those of you listening do not believe and are not forgiven the your sins then God himself does this God does some things that are sometimes difficult to believe brother God himself tells Moses to take the people out of Egypt and says I'm going ahead to harden Pharaoh's heart so that he doesn't let the people leave God says I'm going to send you there to do a liberation service but I 'm going ahead to raise [Music] demon I'm going there I'm going I'm going to send you to save those people but I'm going ahead to get in the way so Pharaoh won't let the people leave you need to understand that every time God practices justice he also practices judgment In other words, someone benefits and someone pays the bill, judgment and justice They are the basis of his throne When God said look, I will send you but I will harden Pharaoh's heart in Exodus Chapter 7 he said this because in Exodus Chapter 3 he says this to Moses I have heard the cry of my people and I have also seen the oppression of their oppressors so for a people who were crying out it would be the practice of justice for the oppressor who was oppressing it was the practice of judgment so judge and justice always work together or when God practices justice for a generation he can get smart because someone is going to pay the bill we can't brothers it's like the church losing values within the church itself within the house itself we can't like a church losing its principles within the church itself , generations change, right, the clothes change, look at Cris's pants, the clothes change, don't you think that 25 years ago, CR would arrive wearing pants like that at the pantaloon church , reu, do you think he would go ? being a leader of the med of praise Of course not What we can do is negotiate principles within the church itself, we can't, it's so much so that we don't monitor You know that You know that word like a mosquito swallows a camel that Jesus speaks strains out a mosquito and swallows a camel this generation that strains out the mosquito and swallows The Camel We were in Israel and we can learn about what it's like to strain a mosquito and swallow a camel and when they were going to make wine in the wine press, they collected the grapes, threw them into the press , played music, the women washed them inside the wine press and they started to dance, they played music and danced and there was someone always watching to see if flies were landing, but they kept paying attention to the flies and the camel passed behind them and ate grapes that hadn't yet reached the wine press, that was Jesus' expression, straining the grapes.
mosquito swallowed a camel I learned this there in Israel So we can't work brothers from within the church itself like That parable that Jesus uses to explain this in Luke Chapter 15 verse 8 when he talks about the lost drama he talks about a church that loses values inside her own house she lost her drma inside house she lost inside we think the world is lost but sometimes we lose the principles inside our own house brothers and and she and she turned on a light and when she turned on a light she didn't see the drachma she saw that the house needed cleaning a house let me tell you something tidying up a house is different from cleaning a house at home Friday is cleaning day I already know so it's very likely that sometimes on Friday Jos will ask me so the pastor goes to have lunch at home because cleaning day is not the day to make lunch cleaning day is cleaning day so it is very good for them that they will go home when we are not there for lunch because you dedicate yourself to cleaning, cleaning, no It's cleaning, cleaning isn't just tidying up to tidy up the house, you tidy up , put the carpet only where the procession goes, it's not if you want to do some cleaning, you have to remove everything from its place, you have to remove everything from its place , Amen, you have to move furniture you have to drag furniture because the emphasis of Cleaning is moving everything around and I realize that a school like this is not about tidying up your house, it's not about adding some messages to your Sunday sketches, it's about cleaning your house, brothers, now please clean your house and not other people's houses brother take care of your house if you will not build in vain work that builds if you will not guard the city What comes first house or city house then house is priority Because everything that God does it first, it's a priority, so I can't go out to protect a city if I'm not even building the house, so please, schools like this, ministrations like these days, here we are supposed to do a daily refresher, we are supposed to look and miss the drma By What do you think she missed the drma if she was 10 Why did she miss it because she counted it every day brother and she realized there was one left to count so you can see stop noticing the principles to often count the principles of the Lord in your life, you see the values that we lose along the way without realizing things that we negotiate without realizing, brothers, and then when the light turns on we realize that things are bad, we need help and we you need to go back and do some cleaning , dear, do some cleaning, going back doesn't mean going back to the past, it means going back to an origin, going back to the past is going back to the origin, not going back to the origin is moving forward because every time you go back to an origin of how it was, how it was that 's how God thinks that God thinks that when you go back to that origin you advance faster so it's not about going back to the past going back to the past is going back many things that we have to observe in the past it's not for repeating It's for Reflecting on there are things in the past that I go back to, it's not to repeat It's to reflect on how it was to see if I'm not lost in the direction of home, so dear, it's loving the glory of God, there's no there's no middle ground or I'm a blessing or I will be a problem there is no neutrality in your actions or I will be a blessing or I will be a problem there is nothing neutral in my decisions there is no neutrality or I do it and it works or I do it and it works wrong there is no such thing as half a blessing or half test or I am a blessing I am a test so I would like to use another text here open with me first kings chapter 12 first kings chapter 12 let's go [Music] there hallelujah glory to God [Music] first kings chapter 12 verse number 3 I'm going to give a big read here it says so they sent for him and Jeroboam and the entire congregation of Israel came to Rehoboam and they said to him your father has made our judgment more severe but now it eases the hard service of your father and the heavy burden he imposed on us and we will serve you, Rehoboam replied, go away until the third day, then return to me and the people went away King Rehoboam had a council with the Elders who had in the presence of Solomon wait When he was still alive how do they advise you to respond to this people they replied if today you become a servant of this people and serve them and in response you say good words they will be your servants forever however He left the advice that the Elders gave him and had advice with the younger ones who had grown up with him and who were watching before him and asked him what advice do you have that we respond to these people who told me there I saw your father's yoke that your father imposed on us the young men who had grown up with him said to him thus you will speak to these people who said your father made our yoke heavy But you eased on us thus you will speak to him my little finger is thicker than my loins than my father's loins like this that if my father imposed a heavy yoke on you, I will increase your yoke, my father punished you with whips, I will punish you with tops , angry creature , Jeroboam came to all the people on the third day, Rehoboam with the king, as the king had commanded, saying, return to me at On the third day, the king responded to the people harshly, leaving the advice that the Elders had given him, he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, my father has made your yoke worse and it is even greater, my father has punished you with lashes, I will punish you with scorpions, so the king will not he listened to the people because this change this change was coming from who this change was coming from from the lord to confirm the word that the lord had spoken through aias the silon to Jeroboam son of Nebat now jumps in Verse 25 says so then Ger built dry in the hill country of Ephraim and dwelt there and went from there and built in penuel said Jeroboam with him now will return the kingdom to the house of David if these people go up to make sacrifices in the house of the Lord in Jerusalem and their heart will return to their Lord Rehoboam king of Judah they will kill me and return to King Rehoboam so the king, having taken counsel, made two golden calves and said to the people it is too much work for you to go up to Jerusalem, here your Gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt for one in Bethel and then another in Dan and this became a sin the people went to Dan to worship the calf there.
