Acts of the Apostles Chapter [Music] 26 open with me Verse 9 Paul is in front of Agrippa there is Festus Felix the king Agrippa and Paul is there trying to give an explanation why he changed sides the gripa is questioning Why man did you learn at your feet from gamaliel you are a Pharisee you are you from here you are on our side I don't accept that you are such an intelligent man you are there in chains handcuffed me wanting to release you and you wanting to go to PR Rome me wanting to free you
and you elevating to Caesar, I already recognized that you are crazy, you are not guilty, you are just crazy and you are saying that you are guilty And then Paul starts trying to explain to King Agrippa why he has these crazy attitudes Paul says this in chapter 26 and the Verse 9 I was also convinced that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth I should do everything possible and that is what I did in Jerusalem having received the authority of the chief priests I locked up many of the Saints in prisons and when they killed
them I gave the my vote Against them, punishing them many times in all the synagogues, I forced them to blaspheme and became very angry Against them even in strange cities, I persecuted them, but in one of these trips there, the Rio Grande Ah, not to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests at noon, well at the hour of the burning Sun Amen at noon I saw on the way a light from the sky but at noon the light from the sky could be the sun which exceeded the splendor of the Sun whose
brightness enveloped me and those who were with me, all of us falling by earth I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew language Saulo Saulo because you persecute me it is hard to resist the goads I said who are you sir he replied I am Jesus whom you are persecuting now get up and stand on your feet I appeared to you by this to make you a Minister and witness both of the things you have seen and of those for which I will yet appear to you, my God, I will deliver you from
this people and from the Gentiles whom I now send you to open their eyes and convert them from Darkness to the light and of the Power from Satan to God so that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me for what I prayed Agrippa I was not disobedient to the Heavenly vision Know why I am like this king because I saw Know why I am like this crazy king is because I saw the moment you see some things you will also go crazy if you get distracted
by too many things you won't see what God is trying to show you but I guarantee you the moment you see it no one else will need you convince no one else will need to offer you you will understand here you will understand here and you will start to act according to what you understood according to what you saw then and you know one thing it will change your behavior this vision will change the your behavior will change your convictions that's my job sister my job is to be able to open people's eyes so that
they see not the gospel ah getting a new vision of fatherhood is not a new vision The bible is a father and son working together if you don't see God as a father you won't have a sense of inheritance the devil cons question umé el question umos he can't question when he tried to question Jesus Jesus took on a task and said he said if you are the son transform make the stone turn into bread you You're not hungry Jesus said no Man doesn't live by bread alone, that is, my gift, my divine resources that
God gave me, no They work for me, it's not because I'm hungry, I'm going to use the gifts to favor me, the gifts that are given to favor you are given to favor others and this is the devil's proposal for the church to use the gifts for themselves, you God it didn't give you a strategy use the strategies to raise money so you can raise resources so you can make the church bigger you want to make the church bigger serve the God the size he is look at him and see how big he is And
then you will position and you will give answers, brothers, I'm not saying that you can't sell a book, you can't do an action between brothers to buy something for the church, that's not it, these things are things that we do on a daily basis, I'm saying that the church cannot use the gifts for itself if God called me as a prophet I cannot prophesy to receive benefit so if God called me to preach I will not twist the word to benefit some who can give me something from the word of God It's true, so it's
better to divide through the truth than to unite through lies. Alelu, it's better, we need to understand what our God is calling us to do, don't expect good results, if you keep doing the same bad thing, good results, they are fruits, they are the extract . of a life is the extract of a correct life before God Pastor but I have faith but my faith doesn't reach Hey my brother What your faith doesn't reach your obedience Will conquer I'm sure of that you sometimes wonder why that I have faith, I believe, but it seems that
everything works out for others and for me, don't let me tell you something God is breaking the structures here brother, amen Amen in our generation on Sunday we were preaching at the mevan there in Itajaí I am preaching people accepted Jesus I was talking about sense the sense that generates sense God ordered a sense not to count people but to bring a sense of identity where each man came among the people and said my name is Luís Hermínio I am from the tribe such and such and such family then another came because they were slaves
they had to assume an identity there in Egypt They were not seen as a tribe They were counted only They were counted they were counted collectively they did not belong to a tribe they did not belong Pharaoh does not recognize That's why when an evangelical steps on the ball they say evangelicals because Pharaoh always sees us from the collective Amen for Pharaoh there is no such thing as a traditional Pentecostal puritan It doesn't exist We keep fighting among ourselves to see who is the greatest but for Pharaoh there is no That's right, but when God
calls them , God calls them and gives them one, one, one, no, God calls them, and gives them an idea. give them an order make a sense of being Sense of being because God wanted to bring a sense of identity God didn't tell them to tell because God didn't know how much they had God told them to tell them because God wanted them to understand each other they were supposed to shout what their name my name is João I'm from the family I live in Sapiranga I attend a church I'm a child of God they
had to assume an ID that's what the devil comes to do year after year Trying to steal the identity of God's children because if you don't know who you are you don't move like you should move in the generation you 're in And then the flu starts to question Paulo saying man you're crazy you were here with us now there you are crazy old man what happened to you you start saying look I also thought I should fight against the Church I also thought I should go on the internet and talk bad about believers I
also thought I should go for the internet to attack everyone and talk bad about the church, call the church deviant but boy I was on my way to Damascus and suddenly it was noon and God speaks It was God is there because if it's at night you could get confused a star he sees he sees to compete with the light with the light of the sun the sun he said it was noon and I saw a light that had more splendor than the light of the sun boy F everything on earth was mystery and I
heard a voice that said to me salo salo you are persecuting me man you are wasting time on this I said who are you Lord he said I am Jesus the one you are persecuting and it changed my life And then Paul said I had a vision and because of that I can't disobey God spoke to me that I'm going I'm going to Rome I'm going to die there but I'm releasing you But I don't want to be released But you're my Prisoner he said no I'm a Prisoner of Christ not me I if I
were your Prisoner you would have power to release me but I am not your Prisoner I am a prisoner of Christ The only one who can release me is Christ when you understand who governs you who you are when you understand who you are who you belong to you no longer fight with yourself who not a crab in the can my brother you know who you are you're not ready Do n't worry you need to know who you are You need to find an identity in the middle of this damn pandemic from hell you need
it Oh but it's God's judgment brother there was a pandemic there was always study the history of the world you will see you will come across in 1600 with the Spanish flu Where millions of people died in Europe but everyone fled from Europe the Calvinists didn't they ran into Prague everyone left Europe with the Spanish flu the plague bulbonic everyone fled and the believers entered into the Plague I see a timid church that is afraid of the Plague you have to be afraid of the Plague if you belonged to this world I die you have
to wear a mask that you don't have to Do give to God what belongs to God and to Caesar What belongs to Caesar, there's no problem, pay your taxes and obey the orders of men, there's no problem, but you can't deal with fear, you can't deal with fear, but I die a believer, did you see, believer? dying a believer doesn't die my son [Music] but I've already lost pared do you think you 've lost to God no one Loses nothing they will just stay away for a while My God how can you read the Bible
and think that way and that's exactly what satan wants that you don't take a stand How do you have a vision of the word of God that says whoever is alive will never die and you keep running away from death protect yourself Ok protect yourself Ok brother the whole boat that Paul entered sank the whole city he entered he left stoned and then at one point I think how come a city was listed there and he was beaten so much he was stoned so much that he passed out he thought He died He died they
said they killed him, hey, they dragged him out in a little while he wakes up , cleans the blood, look at the disciples, let 's go, let's go again that man you left I said no but I didn't end up there Not yet Have you ever stopped to think that you only die when God [Applause] wants it and the worst part is you believe that your problem is not a lack of faith lack of courage because faith you have to die go to heaven to die go to eternity I don't even know if it's for
heaven but amen But it's to go to eternity you have faith for that but you we don't have the courage we believe that God resurrects We don't have the courage to pray for the dead because others will see it and they won't, it won't get up, that's it, my reputation is gone But whoever said that believers have a reputation, the preaching of the cross is a scandal Hallel, the preaching of the cross is madness for those who perish but for us who are saved it is the power of God you have to put yourself in
that place you have to understand that [Music] place yesterday God said something to me while I was with him luí if I showed you did you see you have You have to persevere for this because there are things I show you that you don't see Ok, what you don't see is not because God doesn't take it against the times of ignorance you are not to blame for what you didn't see but what you saw you have conviction man you have to fight for it the Bible says that God lit a bush in the desert Exodus
chapter 3 Moses was there taking care of the sheep in his bush and it is common for a bush to burn during the day because of the heat of the sun and at night in the cold of the desert It goes out But there was one that didn't go out at night andeeee Moses looked and the Bible says that Moses looked and saw that the bush was burning and was not consumed so he said to himself I will turn that way and I will see this strange vision And why did the bush it is not
consumed and the Bible says when God saw that Moses turned to see he shouted at him from the middle of the bush your whole life God is trying to show you something and you're distracted by more and that's why you run after the word because you want to hear God but God is showing you and you don't pay attention you're distracted by things if you quiet down quiet down and you know that I am God if you quiet down to listen you will be interested in what you are seeing and he will talk to you
from the middle of what you are seeing and then he spoke to Moses Moses Moses take the sandal off your feet because the place that you step on it is holy Moses looked and saw so if God showed you and you saw and you have to persevere From what you saw you cannot be offended by people who did not see what you saw There are people who will speak ill of you and will attack you they will criticize you because maybe they didn't see what you saw and then you can't blame them they didn't see
it and you also can't take what you saw and say it's mine no you have to do what Elisha did in Second Kings Chapter 6 Verse 17 when the Syrian army surrounded Samaria there was a young man with him who said Elisha we are surrounded he said oh God open the eyes of this young man so that he may see that those who are with us are greater and the Bible says that God opened the eyes of the boy and He looked at the mountain and saw that it was full of chariots and horses of
fire hallelujah [Music] and you want to be normal the guy who sees the Horse of Fire and chariot of fire he is not normal my brother the guy who sees these crazy things he he can't get to the pulpit and act like an intellectual he has to say I saw Fire Horse and everyone will say fire horse it doesn't make sense because fire doesn't have a horse horse doesn't have fire what you saw was G lume And he said it wasn't a horse of fire, there's no point in arguing with those who haven't seen it
because for those who believe, no explanation is necessary but for those who don't believe none is enough [Music] they asked the blind that Jesus healed who healed you I don't know I just know that I was blind glory to God Rio Grande do Sul open your eyes to see what God will do that God is going to do what God is going to do, don't hang on any more, don't hang on to the problems of the past, the difficulties of the past, I'm going to repeat what I said yesterday, don't uncover any more graves, ah,
the Rio Grande is like that because of that, ok, enough with the Diagnosis that we already have a diagnosis we want solutions and the solutions always come from someone who is willing to see what God is showing I see I see what you see Jeremiah I see an Almond Tree Rod he said You saw well because I watch over my word to fulfill what you are seeing fire horses fire horse doesn't make sense But whoever said it has to make sense there are some things that won't make sense at the time what he does at
the time you won't understand but if you stay more time with him he will reveal to you what that horse is capable of doing that boy who couldn't see started to see and the Syrian army became blind [Music] my work that I'm seeing is not saying I 'm seeing and whoever wants to see it will also have to pay, no, my job is to say, I am, I saw something, I don't know if it will be good for you, but I'm here to help you also see how you see a pastor opening his eyes, thinking
about it, waiting. in this persevering consists of being determined and not only destined I am destined for eternity I accepted Jesus But I don't just want to be destined I want to be determined by what I am destined for I am destined to live eternity with the Lord you are destined who here you have already given your life to Christ who has already given your life to Christ So you are destined But I'm not going to sit in the chair destined without being determined that's why I'm determined I want to live this constantly intensely I
want to live this there are people here full of promises you've heard so many things but you're waiting for something to turn around inside it won't turn around you have to dive so that the key V you have to dive the fulfillment of what you 've heard of what you've seen is in a series of small victories daily things that you go through daily things table conversations pulpit conversations things that you will experience on a daily basis hallelujah hallelujah so persevere perseverance for me is a holy obstinacy perseverance for me is is obstinate under holiness
but I am I call it Holy obstinacy These are for me the greatest opportunities in life are always surrounded by tensions of risks and challenges you want to see what you can see God in someone's life you say oh my God that guy is full of the spirit and you can't see the spirit in you you say my God what a blessed man what a woman that woman when she prays things happen Try praying for things to start happening around her in her house Try it Try this you will no longer need to run after
preachers you too will become a voice on your street in your neighborhood and when do I know that I am a voice when I will not compete with any other voice who is a voice does not need to compete John the Baptist did not open a church next to the Synagogue he went to most unlikely place of those days he went to the most unlikely place who goes to the desert to hear someone speak harsh messages like those if God doesn't lead the person by the hand there God is leading is getting ready to lead
people to obscure places God leading people to places when we started you know that pastor pastor C has been with us since the beginning of there Emir pastor ul pastor ul lived on Rua do Ministério there was a watermelon truck selling watermelons the pastor went to take her brother to the halfway house and stayed And ok there the pastor the pastor the pastor and pastor C are there to this day when we started me there people put their hands on their heads you are crazy I saw this place go to the center there was a
ditch next to the church remember the smell inside the church that ditch and I said sometimes I freaked out I said like this I smell the Devil God says it's not the devil it's the ditch the smell of the ditch mouse there was a guy who opened a company behind the church made of PET bottles that filled the air and I did it and I preached here I say Satan God says it's not Satan it's the man working the husbands didn't let their wives go to church alone because they had to go through a place
like that they had to go alone it was very dangerous very dark [Music] people said no one is going to come here go to the center and God said no it's not here I'm going to bring Brazil here stay here and I said God say he said you don't have it you don't have to look at anything you're seeing you have to look at that what I'm saying I 'm saying things that will happen to you and your house I'm going to bring people from all over the world here you don't understand forget the ditch
forget the mouse forget the frog but pastor sir people are leaving the church because the church has nothing good to give them they say they will come back because they will feel hungry for the Genuine gospel they will feel hungry for prophecy there will come a time when no one will want a beautiful chair comfortable church comfortable preacher they will want madness of the gospel that has saved us until today, there will come a time when people will no longer run after the comfort of conformity, they will want something more, they will want to be
challenged, they will take their car, they are willing to travel 2000 km by car to listen to an hour of word And this has happened 20 years later people come from all over Brazil brothers from all over Brazil we do an event the hotels in the city are full the ditch is no longer there the rat is no longer there that guy with the PED bottle I bought the o his shed glory to God but the word of God remains forever God the peace of the Lord remains and my brothers liked the message Leave your
