Jesus Delivered Us (2) (audio) David Eells – 6/25/25 I'm going to continue speaking about how Jesus has delivered us. When the Syrophoenician woman asked Jesus to deliver her daughter in (Matthew 15:21-28), who was “grievously vexed with a demon” (Mat.15:26) … He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. Deliverance is for God's people; deliverance is “the children's bread.” Those who think they can go and just cast demons out of any lost person do not know anything about deliverance. In the first place, it's a very dangerous thing to do. We are the ones who are in covenant with God, the covenant being deliverance from the curse of sin and of death (Rom.8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.). This is our covenant. We have a right to total deliverance from bondage of the flesh and from bondage to demon spirits. We have the right, but that does not mean we will attain it. The right to deliverance comes when we receive knowledge and understanding of the promises, and then we enter into those covenant promises by faith. The Bible says in (Heb.4:3) …the works were finished from the foundation of the world. So the only thing remaining is for us to enter into those works through faith. It also says in (Heb.4:2) …but the word of hearing did not profit them (the Jews), because it was not united by faith with them that heard. When the Israelites were supposed to conquer their Promised Land, all they needed to do was what Joshua and Caleb did; they believed the Word of God. Ten of the twelve spies who came back did not believe the Word of God. They believed only what they saw, felt, and heard, and those were the things they confessed. They did not enter into the Promised Land because they brought back a bad report. Let's read that. (Num.13:25) And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. (26) And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. (27) And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us; and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. (28) Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. (29) Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan. (30) And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. (31) But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. (32) And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.  (33) And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. (Num.14:1) And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. This is also a type and shadow. There are ministers today who do not believe that we can be holy. They do not believe we can overcome sin and the devil. God wants to lead us through our Promised Land or Land of Promise to come against our enemies and conquer them all. But you have no authority to cast a demon out of a person who is full of bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, and resentment. You'll waste a lot of breath trying to deliver these people because, without true repentance, they can come back. And you do not know the tormentors; you just know that they are demons. They could be demons of spiritual infirmities or they could be unclean spirits. Anyone wanting to help in the ministry of deliverance should first be filled with the Holy Spirit. We need this gift, and a person who is not filled with the Holy Spirit has no business in any deliverance ministry. In the days of the first disciples, all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they would make sure other disciples were also filled with the Holy Spirit. (Act.19:1) And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: (2) and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was [given]. (3) And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. (4) And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. (5) And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit is God's authority to know what is going on in people. We are to live under the law of the Spirit (Romans 7:6,8:2,4; etc.). The Old Testament Law, all those rules and regulations, was given to Israel because they did not have the Spirit of God, and so they didn't know what to do when they got into such-and-such a situation. It does not work that way in the New Testament because we have the Holy Spirit to lead us. (Gal.5:18) But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. He guides us in the ministry of deliverance from lusts of the flesh and demons that rule over the lusts of the flesh. The most common reason why people don't get delivered from demons is because they are not right with their brother, and what often happens is that not being right with their brother does not get revealed. Jesus tells us to make things right with our brother before we bring our gift before the altar; otherwise, He will turn you over to the jailer and the jailer will throw you into prison. That “jailer” is the devil. (Mat.5:23) If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, (24) leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (25) Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Jesus came to set the captives free. That is what we were, but that is not what we are now supposed to be. We were captive to the lusts of the flesh, representing the old man of the land, who seems like a giant to us, and were captive to the devil. We were in prison, having no hope without God. In Luke 4, Jesus was quoting from Isaiah, (Isa.61:1) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound… Liberty to the captives has been proclaimed, but not everybody is entering into this liberty being cowards before their giant flesh. Our job as ministers of reconciliation is to minister the same thing that Jesus ministered. (2Co.5:18) But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation. Our job is to proclaim the liberty that was given to us at the Cross. This liberty is deliverance from bondage to the flesh man, and deliverance from the demons that rule over the him. Then Jesus went on in (Luk.4:18) … to proclaim release to the captives, and recovering of the sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, (19) to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. He did not quote the second part of the sentence in (Isa.61:2) To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God… He only quoted the first half of this verse because the day He was ministering in was the day of the Lord's favor, but in these days we're coming to the second half, “the day of vengeance of our God.” While grace and liberty to the captives are being offered, to the extent that we will humble ourselves to the Word is the extent we can enter into it. The Bible says in (Rev.22:18) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. Even though we have authority to cast out demons, there won't be anything lasting you can do for a person who is adding to or taking away from the Word. If you think you are going to deliver them from that curse, then you're deceived, and you haven't read Deuteronomy 28 for yourself. So that person should fill themselves with the Word to keep their gift. It was not the devil who put the curse on this earth; it was God. He sent the curse because of man's rebellion. The curse is designed to motivate us to run to the Cross and to make us run to Jesus Christ, Who has the only antidote for the curse. The world likes to deceive us into thinking they can solve our curses for us, but it's not possible. All the world can do is just shove the curse around without solving a thing, and they're about to see the truth of that now. For example, diseases they thought they had wiped out are coming back, and they're coming back stronger than ever because of man's intervention. And mans so called cure is killing a lot of people.  You see, it's not possible to destroy a curse that God has put out there, but He also sent Jesus Christ to deliver us from that curse when we repent. God is so merciful that He sent the curse to turn us away from the wrath of hell. The devil will laugh at you when you want to deliver somebody who has not repented. It's a waste of breath and time, and I know because I've tried to do it. When you have people who have not repented, it doesn't matter that they call themselves “Christians.” It makes no difference, lasting deliverance from the curse comes by repentance, faith, and obedience. There's no way we can get around that.  Jesus said, (Mat.28:18)… All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. This does not leave anything for the devil if it is not given to him, since Jesus delegated His authority to us when He said, (Mat.18:18) Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. That was delegating authority to us; so how is it then that the devil gets his authority? He gets it from us. When we walk out from under the Blood and walk in the flesh, submitting to demon spirits, we give the devil authority. The only way to take away his authority in that case is through repentance and faith that Christ delivered us. The apostle Paul, by the Holy Spirit, turned a man over to Satan (1Co.5:5) to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Again, you cannot get around this. If you had come to that man after Paul had turned him over to the devil, thinking to cast out all of the demons from him, you would have been deceived because those demons will literally play with you. Sometimes they'll act as if they are gone, and sometimes they will even come out, but they will not be gone for long. When you turn your head, they're right back, and if you ask them, “Hey, what are you doing? I thought I cast you out of there!” They'll tell you, “No, we have a right to be here. They want us to be here.” Or, “They invited us to be here.” I've actually heard demons say that. The demons know when they have a right, and you'll be wasting your time because they'll just deceive you. What does the Bible say will happen if you cast demons out of a person who does not repent? They may come back seven times worse. (Mat.12:43) But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. (44) Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (45) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. These were apostate covenant people. Mere flesh can be dealt with by repentance and faith, but sometimes you find that even when you exercise repentance and faith, you are still not having success. That's because demonic oppression or possession is a compelling bondage that goes beyond just mere flesh. It is still repentance and faith that gets rid of the bondage of a demon spirit, but first you have to take away the “stink” that brings them. The “stink” arises when someone is giving in to the flesh or sin. “Flies” represent demons, and the “flies” come to the stink. Beelzebub, the devil, is known as the “Lord of the Flies.” Scripture calls him “Beelzebub the prince of the demons.” (Mat.12:24) But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons. As long as you have the stink, the flies will come because they have a right to come. If you repent of the stink and get rid of the stink, that will cast out the demon or demons, and they won't be able to come back. Most deliverance happens when people do not have the foggiest idea that they have ever been delivered of anything. A lot of deliverance happens when people get saved. By the depth of their commitment to Christ, they are delivered of many demon spirits. I, and others close to me, have had demons from which we were delivered. We mentioned a man whom Paul turned over to Satan in 1 Corinthians 5:5. Did you know this man was a Christian? So what was it that caused him to be delivered over to Satan? It was the lusts of his flesh. You are protected if you walk under the Blood of Jesus Christ, but willful disobedience is not under the Blood. The Bible warns in (Heb.10:26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. Willful disobedience brings judgment by the “tormentors,” who are demons. (Matthew 18:34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. Demons can bring forth sickness and corruption of all kinds. When Jesus cast out demons, who was receiving that deliverance? Well, what did Jesus say? (Mat.15:24) … I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It was not the Canaanites who lived around them; it was the Israelites, the people who had God's Covenant promise. Jesus said that casting out demons is for God's children. He did not cast demons out of the world, because deliverance is the “children's bread” (Mark 7:27). This makes it clear that the Covenant people were the only people out of whom Jesus was casting demons. Deliverance is what God has provided for His children. The world is not in covenant with God, and they have no right to deliverance, healing, or any of the promises of the New Covenant, nor the blessings of the New Testament. If it is the “children's bread,” then it is not to be given to the world; however, Jesus had to have been awed at the Syrophoenician woman's great faith. Since He was right on the edge of a new covenant, He counted her as a believer and He gave her what she asked. (Mar.7:26) Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. (27) And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. (28) But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. (29) And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. The Bible says, (Rom.1:16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. You see, there's a condition in the Gospel that has to be met in order to receive deliverance, healing, soul salvation, and so forth, and that condition is believing what the Gospel says. You may ask, “Does God ever cast a demon out of somebody who does not believe or even think because they are totally possessed?” Yes, He does, but it's usually because they are among the elect and will later believe, like with the demoniac of the tombs (Mark 5:1-20; Matthew 8:28-34; Luke 8:26-39). Sometimes they are oppressing others who have a right to peace. In most cases it takes repentance and belief in order to get deliverance. (Mat.8:16) And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: (17) that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases. This word “our” is talking about us. Christians spoke and wrote these words. Jesus took the curse from us. Did He bear the curse for the world? Yes, but it is ultimately to “whosoever will” (Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:34; Revelation 22:17; etc.) Who is “whosoever will?” The Bible says, (Joh.6:44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him… The elect will; this is absolutely clear. The elect are those who bear fruit and were chosen before the foundation of the world, as the Bible says. (Eph.1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ: (4) even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: (5) having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (6) to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: (7) in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, (8) which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, (9) making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him (10) unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say,] (11) in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will; (12) to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: (13) in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, (14) which is an earnest (down payment) of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession, unto the praise of his glory. The “elect” are the overcomers who will be standing at the end of their time of testing (Romans 12:21; 1 John 5:4; Revelation 2:7,11,17,26-28; 3:5,12,21; etc.). Many of the called will not, but the elect will have gotten what Jesus was talking about here because the elect are those who bear fruit. (Mat.22:14) For many are called, but few chosen. The Greek word here for “chosen” is the same word for “elect,” eklektos. Many are the called, as we see from when God called the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus 3:10; Hosea 11:1-7). He said in (Mat.2:15) … Out of Egypt did I call my son. He also said in (Jud.1:5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. You see, “calling” is not “election”; “calling” is on the way to election. “Calling” just means “an invitation,” from the Greek word klētos, “to invite.” Jesus has invited us to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ. If we do this, we will not have any problem bearing fruit. 2Pe 1:10  Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:  The Bible says, (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. So you may be wondering how a Christian can have a demon and the Holy Spirit at the same time. It's simple; let me explain. The body is a temple. (1Co.6:19) Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; (20) for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. The ancient manuscripts say, “a temple of the Holy Spirit” because the Temple was threefold (Exodus chapters 25-27). It had an outer court, a holy place, and the Holy of Holies, and the outer court was called the “Court of the Gentiles” (Revelation 11:2). Were Gentiles holy? No, and we have proof from Old Testament examples that evil people did come into the outer court. They even laid hands on the horns of the altar to receive mercy (1 Kings 1:50; 2 Chronicles 23:12;15; Matthew 23:35), and sometimes they found mercy and other times they did not. So we see that evil could come into the outer court, but it could not come into the Holy of Holies. Some people like to say that the Spirit of God will not dwell in an unclean temple. If you're talking about the flesh, the flesh is unclean and it's also the enemy of God. (Rom.8:6) For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: (7) because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: (8) and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. In fact, when the Bible talks about the lusts of the flesh, those lusts have the same nature as the demons do because the flesh is unclean and it's not going to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. (1Co.15:50) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Only the “High Priest” Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, dwells in your “Holy of Holies,” your spirit. The demons do not enter into the spirit. Except for the High Priest, anybody who came into the Holy of Holies was struck dead. (Lev.16:2) And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat. No evil could go into the Holy of Holies because that was the place of only the High Priest. The Holy Spirit is not dwelling in an unclean temple when He dwells in your spirit. Your spirit is clean. He has to give you a new spirit before He can even come and dwell there. You need to be born again before He can come and dwell in that spirit. (Gal.4:6) And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Demons come into the flesh with the desire to possess your soul, which is your mind, will, and emotions. The Lord comes into your spirit with the desire to possess your soul. The warfare is between spirit and flesh; God and demons seek to possess the soul. (Act.10:38) Even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. We've been lied to about the supposed difference between “possession” and “oppression.” “Possession” is when the demon is reaching out of the flesh and into the soul, taking control of the mind, the actions, and the character of the person. If you've ever seen a schizophrenic, where one moment they are given over to the lusts of the flesh, and the next minute they seem to straighten right back up. Is that person possessed or not? They are possessed when that happens and they are not possessed when the demon backs off. The demon is still in them; he hasn't gone anywhere. All he's done is just back out of the soul into the flesh, becoming dormant, and he remains there until the next time he wants to take control. The Holy Spirit is the same way. Just because you have the Holy Spirit does not mean you are being led by the Holy Spirit. Having the Holy Spirit is not even going to save you! (Rom.8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. You can have the Holy Spirit, but not be led by Him, and it's the same with demons. You can have demons, without the demons being in control. We should desire to give possession of this “land” to the spiritual man (Hebrews 6:4-8). God, through the Spirit, gives our spiritual man the power to possess our soul. When you walk after the flesh, the Bible says you must die. (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. When you walk after the flesh, you permit the demon's power to reach into your soul to take control of your thinking, actions, and character, your very nature. In the world they call this “schizophrenia,” but it's demon possession. There is only one nature that is the “real you”. The demons like to come into Christians and impart their own thoughts to deceive them into thinking that this is their nature. The demons give themselves up to the lusts of the flesh and then rule the Christians by speaking in their minds and blending into their characters so that they do not even know that it is them. Christians think it's themselves, but those demons can be forced to manifest by the Authority of God. Some of you may have heard or seen the Gospel being preached and demons manifesting in Christians. They are forced to manifest because they hate the Gospel. They hate tongues and they hate the Blood of Jesus. They hate all things that are Godly. If you learn the things that they hate, those are your best weapons against them. Some of you have already found out that these demons can hide in you very tactfully, convincing you that their thinking is your thinking. Thoughts coming through your mind might seem to be yours, but when forced to manifest by the Word of God, you realize they're coming from a demon. Where the Word of God is tormenting these demons, they will manifest, and this is exactly what happened in Jesus' Presence. The Word of God forced them to manifest. (Mat.8:28) And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. (29) And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? If you have a repentant person and you command these demons to give their name and to manifest in some way, they will do it. If they have never been commanded to manifest, you may have never actually felt their presence. When they are commanded to do so, they will literally speak out of a person and give their name, but they'll also argue with you and lie to you. They will do all the things that demons like to do. Now it's helpful to have other people alongside, but you can deliver yourself because we have that authority. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. If you suspect something is more than just flesh, then exercise your authority and command those demons to go. Sometimes they will speak in your mind, or you'll get their name in your mind. Sometimes their names will come right out of the person's mouth. Many times, a strong, compelling desire turns out to be a demon, not the flesh, but the devil wants you to think that it is only flesh. We are in the process, called “sanctification,” of being delivered of two things: defilement of flesh and spirit (2 Corinthians 7:1). But is your spirit defiled? If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in a new, clean spirit Who is called the Spirit of Christ in you. (Gal.4:6) And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. This is a Christian. God says, (Eze.36:26) A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 27  And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes… Notice, a “new spirit” and then “My Spirit” or the Holy Spirit. You do not have a defiled spirit, so why does Scripture say to Christians, “let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit”? It's because this defilement of spirit is talking about the defilement of you by demon spirits. This is not talking about the defilement of your spirit because your spirit is the only part of you that is totally white and clean. If it is not, you are not a Christian. The defilement that we have the authority to get rid of is the defilement of our souls by the flesh and evil spirits. Do you know what “self” is in the Bible? It is a synonymous term for the word “soul.” One Gospel will say “self” and another Gospel will say “soul” in a same text in another Gospel. “Self” and “soul” are the same. We want to be delivered of all defilement of our soul by both flesh and spirits. (Col.3:5) Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; (6) for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: (7) wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; (8) but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: (9) lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, (10) and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him. The Bible tells us in (Eph.4:27) Neither give place to the devil. The Greek word “place” there is a geographic term meaning “region” or “area.” This is the exact thing God talked about when He was cleansing the Promised Land from the pagan tribes that controlled it. (Deu.7:1) When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou… All these “ites” had their demonic “gods” (Deuteronomy 32:17). If you leave a place for the lusts of the flesh to live in your land, you are going to sin because they will make you sin, so we are not to leave them any place in our land. (Deu.7:2) And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them; (3) neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. (4) For he will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly. When Jesus delivered the woman with a “spirit of infirmity” in (Luke 13:11), He said in (Luk.13:16) And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? Jesus called this woman a “daughter of Abraham,” and you might think, “Well, He's just talking about Jews,” yet Jesus never called the literal, physical Jews “daughters and sons of Abraham.” These Jewish leaders and their followers were professing Abraham to be their father, but Jesus totally disagreed with them because a daughter or son of Abraham, like the woman He loosed, is someone who is truly in covenant with God. (Joh.8:38) I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father. (39) They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. Here's the point: “Ye would do the works of Abraham.” (Joh.8:40) But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham. (41) Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God. (42) Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. (43) Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word. (44) Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Paul said the same thing; he said that people who walk by faith are the sons of Abraham. (Gal.3:7) Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. Jesus never disagreed with this. This woman who was loosed, got her deliverance because she was a daughter of Abraham. The people who were coming to Jesus were Covenant people, just as we are Covenant people. They had the right of the Covenant and therefore they got healing and deliverance from God. We are proving ourselves through this “trial in the wilderness,” through the things that we're going through, to be either sons of Abraham or sons of the devil. The Bible says in (1Jn.2:6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. Sons of the devil in the world have no Covenant rights, and you're just casting the children's bread to the dogs when you try to deliver an unrepentant person (Mark 7:27). You'll have the same problem, too, if you're trying to give deliverance to a Christian who is unrepentant. We are proving who are overcomers, those who truly belong to Christ. They are going to be the ones who are proven to be the Elect of God (Philippians 2:12; 2 Peter 1:10). We can prove ourselves just as much sons of the devil by our actions as these people proved themselves sons of the devil by their actions. Jesus pointed out to them, “No, if you were of your father Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham!” Amen.

Esdras 1:1 e 5 - No primeiro ano do reinado de Ciro, rei da Pérsia, para que se cumprisse a palavra do Senhor falada por Jeremias, o Senhor despertou o coração de Ciro, rei da Pérsia, para que fizesse uma proclamação em todo o seu reino e também a pusesse por escrito nestes termos. [...] Então, os líderes das famílias de Judá e de Benjamim, como também os sacerdotes e os levitas, todos aqueles cujo coração Deus despertou, dispuseram‑se a ir para Jerusalém e a construir o templo do Senhor.

Devocional do dia 11/06/2025 com o Tema: "Sofrimento" O Senhor provava diariamente a sua fidelidade, presença e proteção ao povo de Judá, mas, quando tudo ia bem, muitos se esqueciam dele. Por muito tempo, Israel preferiu dar as costas ao Deus verdadeiro e à Lei. Leitura bíblica: 2 Crônicas 15.1-4 Versículo Chave: Em sua angústia, porém, eles se voltaram para o SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, e o buscaram, e ele deixou que o encontrassem (2Cr 15.4).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Si consideramos a Booz como un tipo de Cristo, esta situación puede revelar una cuestión que está en juego en el Gran Conflicto. Cristo nos ama, pero hay un “pariente más cercano” que también tiene cierto derecho: Satanás. ¿Qué revelan los siguientes pasajes acerca de la pretensión de Satanás respecto de la humanidad? (Job 1:6-11; Mat. 4:8, 9; Jud. 1:9; Luc. 22:31). Cuando Satanás apareció en el concilio celestial, dijo a Dios que venía “de rodear la tierra y andar por ella” (Job 1:7), y cuando Dios le preguntó si se había fijado en el justo Job, Satanás lo reclamó como uno de los suyos, sugiriendo que el corazón de Job no pertenecía realmente a Dios. Es decir, que Job solo seguía a Dios por conveniencia. Según Satanás, Job dejaría de ser leal a Dios si el Señor dejaba de ser benévolo con él. El libro de Judas contiene una breve referencia a una historia muy conocida en Israel, según la cual Moisés resucitó después de haber sido sepultado por Dios mismo (Deut. 34:6). Aunque no tenemos todos los detalles, la disputa por el cuerpo de Moisés da a entender que Satanás estaba reclamando algún derecho sobre él. “Por primera vez Cristo iba a dar vida a uno de los muertos. Cuando el Príncipe de la vida y los ángeles resplandecientes se aproximaron a la tumba, Satanás temió perder su hegemonía. Con sus ángeles malos, se aprestó a disputar la invasión del territorio que llamaba suyo. Se jactó de que el siervo de Dios había llegado a ser su prisionero. Declaró que ni siquiera Moisés había sido capaz de guardar la Ley de Dios; que se había atribuido la gloria que pertenecía a Jehová –había cometido el mismo pecado que hiciera desterrar a Satanás del Cielo–, y que por su transgresión había caído bajo el dominio de Satanás” (Elena de White, Patriarcas y profetas, p. 511). Cristo refutó la afirmación de Satanás, y Moisés fue resucitado (ver Mat. 17:3). En Rut 4:1 al 12, Booz viaja hasta el portal de Belén, la ciudad donde Cristo vino al mundo como nuestro Pariente cercano. Los ancianos se reúnen y finalmente se intercambia una sandalia (símbolo de pertenencia, o propiedad). La puerta de un pueblo era el lugar donde se decidían los casos. Por lo tanto, la escena de Belén es un tipo o representación del Juicio Celestial, ya que refleja la escena del juicio registrada en Daniel 7:13, 14, 22, 26 y 27. No debemos pasar por alto un aspecto crucial del Juicio, y es que este se realiza “en favor de los santos”, pero solo porque Cristo pagó el precio por nosotros, así como Booz lo pagó por Rut para que fuera su esposa. 

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MUJERES 2025“AMANECER CON JESÚS”Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================09 de JunioEl Cordero que venció como León«Entonces uno de los ancianos me dijo: "No llores, porque el León de la tribu de Judá, la raíz de David, ha vencido para abrir el libro y desatar sus siete sellos"» (Apocalipsis 5:5).¿Has imaginado alguna vez al apóstol Juan, un anciano confinado a la soledad, llorando con amargura? Imagina que estás en Patmos y tu instinto de protección te acerca a él. Al llegar le preguntas: «¿Por qué llora, papito?» Él responde: «Porque no se ha encontrado en toda la tierra, ni en el cielo, ni debajo de la tierra, alguien que sea digno de abrir el libro que el anciano que está sentado en el trono tiene en su mano». Tú te quedas muda, pensando de qué libro habla Juan, mientras él sigue llorando.Nuestra mente no alcanza a comprender en toda su extensión lo que ocurrió en la isla de Patmos. Por tal motivo, el libro de Apocalipsis, en muchos casos, es el que menos queremos leer. Antes de verlo como un libro de juicios y terror, debemos de apreciarlo como un libro de victoria. Mientras, Juan sigue llorando, pues tú no lo has podido consolar. Uno de los veinticuatro ancianos se acerca a Juan y le dice: «Ya no llores, ya se encontró a uno que es digno de abrir el libro». En seguida Juan para de llorar y seca sus lágrimas. La sonrisa ilumina su cansado rostro, sus ojos brillan debajo de sus párpados caídos, mientras sus oídos siguen atentos a las palabras del anciano: «el León de la tribu de Judá ha vencido». Juan levanta la mirada buscando al León, pero en su lugar ve a un Cordero inmolado a quien los cuatro seres vivientes y los veinticuatro ancianos le están rindiendo adoración con cánticos y arpas.Juan ha dejado de llorar. ¿Por qué hoy tú sigues llorando? Si ya sabes que el León ha vencido y que te ha redimido, entonces para de llorar. Es probable que las lágrimas no salen de tus ojos y, sin embargo, vives quejándote de tu suerte, de la desdicha de este mundo, de la maldad que invade y destruye, de los líderes de la congregación, de la enfermedad, del silencio de Dios y otros motivos que tú conoces. No llores, es la orden. No hay motivos para seguir hundida en la tristeza y el desánimo. La buena noticia es que Jesús peleó por ti como un León y murió como un Cordero para que hoy obtengas la victoria. No llores.

Meditación del Evangelio según San Lucas 1, 39-56 por el biblista P. Norberto Padilla, misionero claretiano.Sábado 31/may/2025, Fiesta de la Visitación de la Virgen María. ¿Quién soy yo para que me visite la madre de mi Señor?Canción: La Visitación (2015), de Hermanas de María de Schoenstatt----------Lectura del santo evangelio según san Lucas 1, 39-56En aquellos días, María se puso en camino y fue aprisa a la montaña, a un pueblo de Judá; entró en casa de Zacarías y saludó a Isabel. En cuanto Isabel oyó el saludo de María, saltó la criatura en su vientre. Se llenó Isabel del Espíritu Santo y dijo a voz en grito: "¡Bendita tú entre las mujeres, y bendito el fruto de tu vientre! ¿Quién soy yo para que me visite la madre de mi Señor? En cuanto tu saludo llegó a mis oídos, la criatura saltó de alegría en mi vientre. Dichosa tú, que has creído, porque lo que te ha dicho el Señor se cumplirá." Dijo María: «Proclama mi alma la grandeza del Señor; se alegra mi espíritu en Dios mi Salvador. Porque ha mirado la humillación de su esclava, desde ahora me felicitarán todas las generaciones; porque el Poderoso ha hecho obras grandes por mí. ¡Su nombre es Santo! Y su misericordia llega a sus fieles de generación en generación. Él hace proezas con su brazo, dispersa a los soberbios de corazón. Derriba del trono a los poderosos y enaltece a los humildes: a los hambrientos los colma de bienes y a los ricos los despide vacíos. Auxilia a Israel, su siervo, acordándose de la misericordia, -como lo había prometido a nuestros padres- en favor de Abraham y su descendencia por siempre.» María se quedó con Isabel unos tres meses, y después volvió a su casa.Palabra del Señor...

P. Juan Carlos (Ecuador)Poco después de la Anunciación, el evangelista San Lucas nos guía tras los pasos de la Virgen de Nazaret hacia "una ciudad de Judá". Le acompaña como es lógico San José.Leemos "se levantó María y se fue con prontitud a la región montañosa, a una ciudad de Judá". Parece ser que esa ciudad es Ain-Karin. El ángel le había contado: "Mira, también Isabel, tu pariente, ha concebido un hijo en su vejez y éste es ya el sexto mes de aquella que llamaban estéril, porque ninguna cosa es imposible para Dios".[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditaciones-escritas/

2 Samuel 11:4 “Y envió David mensajeros, y la tomó; y vino a él, y él durmió con ella. Luego ella se purificó de su inmundicia, y se volvió a su casa”.La expresión “daño colateral” implica un daño no intencionado o accidental a causa de cierto tipo de acción. Al parecer el concepto adquiere más significado en un contexto militar, pero también se aplica a aquellas cosas que hacemos y que producen efectos inesperados no planificados. Quiero traer varios ejemplos: Cuando los padres se divorcian, entonces los hijos se ven obligado a criarse en uno de los dos hogares o en los dos con padrastros y madrastras o con particulares o con ninguno de sus padres; padres e hijos afectados con este tipo de daño colateral; El daño colateral cuando un empleado incumple su labor con o sin excusa válida y los demás compañeros se ven forzados a trabajar más de la cuenta. El miedo infundado por los padres también causa daños colaterales en los hijos hasta para cruzar una calle, para comer algo, para superarse, para casarse, para transitar, para dormir. El pecado de Adan y Eva, provocó daños colaterales que muchos hoy sufrimos con la entrada de la muerte, el dolor, las enfermedades, la pobreza, etc. El gran problema es que la mentalidad del ser humano se ha vuelto tan personal, tan egoísta que a veces no entendemos que el egoísmo puede producir daño colateral; ¿De dónde viene el término daño colateral? Se utiliza comúnmente en el ámbito militar, cuando en una misión se enviaba un misil, ocurrían muertes de civiles y se justificaba con la frase “daño colateral”; daño colateral es un término que se usa para justificar el daño que causa en otros, porque lo que importaba era la misión propia.Nuestro egoísmo genera acciones que provocan un efecto dominó en quienes nos rodean. Una mentalidad egoísta nos impide considerar las consecuencias de nuestros actos, y lo que hacemos —por insignificante que parezca— puede desencadenar caos y destrucción.El daño colateral es el resultado de decisiones centradas en uno mismo; aunque puedan parecer ventajosas para quien las toma, terminan perjudicando a otros y multiplicando el impacto negativo en cadena.Un ejemplo claro de daño colateral ocurrió cuando Jesús decidió venir a la Tierra para traer salvación a nuestras vidas, el cielo se vio afectado, el cielo perdió a Jesús ya que dejó su posición para hacerse hombre, el padre no tuvo al hijo al lado, lo vio sufrir, recuerda que tu salvación y la mia tuvo un daño colateral en el cielo.En la Biblia se registra múltiples daños colaterales que produjo un hombre por tomar males decisiones; 2 Samuel 11:2-4 “Un día por la tarde, mientras se paseaba por la azotea de su palacio después de la siesta, vio desde allí a una mujer muy hermosa, que se estaba bañando. Al preguntar quién era ella, le dijeron que se llamaba Betsabé, y que era hija de Elián y esposa de Urías el hitita. Entonces David ordenó que la llevaran a su presencia, y ella se presentó ante él, y él la tomó y se acostó con ella. Después de tener relaciones, ella se purificó y regresó a su casa”.Aquí vemos la profundidad de múltiples daños colaterales, David tuvo un sentimiento, una emoción, una atracción por una mujer llamada betsabé pero no pensó en el daño colateral que iba a generar esa emoción, ese sentimiento, esa atracción, que lo llevó a cometer una acción reprochable.Así como David, nunca nos detenemos a pensar que producen nuestras acciones, si David se hubiera sentado a pensar: ¿Qué pasa si me acuesto con ella? ¿Cómo podré mirarle a la cara al soldado Urías? ¿Cómo podré mirar en la cara el padre de betsabé, cuando llegue a palacio reclamando el hecho de haber deshonrado a su hija? ¿Y qué pasa si la embarazo? ¿Y qué pasa si todo el pueblo se entera? ¿Cómo mirarán al rey después de utilizar su poder para tomar lo que no podía tomar? Nunca se sentó a hacer un desglose de los daños colaterales que producirían sus acciones y la cantidad de maldiciones que no sólo afectaron su vida emocional, su vida física, su vida como rey y como autoridad; también afectó a todos sus hijos.Ahora la pregunta es: ¿Cuántos daños colaterales hemos producido en nuestro hogar, en nuestros hijos, en nuestra familia, en nuestro ministerio, en nuestro trabajo, en nuestra economía, en fin, “conoces a alguien, traicionas y abandonas a tu esposa y a tus hijos, tienes otros hijos además de los de ella, los muestras en tus redes sociales olvidando a los hijos que dejaste que llevan tu apellido, pasan los años y después te preguntas por qué mis hijos no me quieren, porque mis hijos no me llaman, por qué mis hijos no están conmigo, porque mis hijos no me respetan; respuesta: Daños Colaterales de tu desenfreno”, la palabra dice en Mateo 18:7 “¡Ay del mundo por los tropiezos! Es necesario que vengan tropiezos, pero ¡ay de aquél por quien viene el tropiezo!” Te has puesto a pensar si lo que estás viviendo hoy es la consecuencia o el daño colateral de algo que hiciste en el pasado debido a tu mentalidad egoísta el cual fue tu gran error y arrastras a muchos con tu error.Pero volvamos a la historia de David y Betsabé:Los daños colaterales que produjo David fueron muchos: Betsabé sale embarazada y había que taparle la barriga, la respuesta a esto fue matar al su esposo ya que no accedió a acostarse con su mujer.La mentira, la traición, el engaño, y por ende la muerte del bebé.Veamos con lupa el daño colateral: 2 Samuel 12:7-15 “Entonces dijo Natán a David: Tú eres aquel hombre. Así ha dicho Jehová, Dios de Israel: Yo te ungí por rey sobre Israel, y te libré de la mano de Saúl, y te di la casa de tu señor, y las mujeres de tu señor en tu seno; además te di la casa de Israel y de Judá; y si esto fuera poco, te habría añadido mucho más. ¿Por qué, pues, tuviste en poco la palabra de Jehová, haciendo lo malo delante de sus ojos? A Urías heteo heriste a espada, y tomaste por mujer a su mujer, y a él lo mataste con la espada de los hijos de Amón. Por lo cual ahora no se apartará jamás de tu casa la espada, por cuanto me menospreciaste, y tomaste la mujer de Urías heteo para que fuese tu mujer. Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí yo haré levantar el mal sobre ti de tu misma casa, y tomaré tus mujeres delante de tus ojos, y las daré a tu prójimo, el cual yacerá con tus mujeres a la vista del sol. Porque tú lo hiciste en secreto; mas yo haré esto delante de todo Israel y a pleno sol. Entonces dijo David a Natán: Pequé contra Jehová. Y Natán dijo a David: También Jehová ha remitido tu pecado; no morirás. Mas por cuanto con este asunto hiciste blasfemar a los enemigos de Jehová, el hijo que te ha nacido ciertamente morirá. Y Natán se volvió a su casa”.Daño Colateral: Su hijo al que más amaba, Absalón, lo traicionó, lo sacó del trono, tomó a las concubinas de su padre y se acostó con ellas a la luz del sol, delante de todo el pueblo, David tuvo que huir, tuvo que esconderse, tuvo que sufrir penalidades, tuvo que ver morir a su hijo Absalón, su otro hijo Amnón se acostó con la hermana de Absalón, Tamar y Absalón, mató a su propio hermano Amnón, su hijo Salomón mató a Adonías, hijo mayor de David.Si bien es cierto que la bendición de Dios otorgada a David fue grande, su grandeza lo llevó a cometer errores tan graves que se levantaron argumentos de maldición contra su vida, su hogar y su familia, como consecuencia de sus mismos pecados y todo por:Tener en poco la palabra de Dios: Quiero que preste especial atención a esta declaración de Dios, esto es lo más crucial de la vida de David, la Palabra de Dios a través del profeta Samuel fue la que lo había ...

Dos trabajadores de la embajada de Israel en Estados Unidos fueron asesinados anoche a tiros en el exterior del Museo Judío de Washington, donde se estaba celebrando un evento del Comité Judío Americano. El presunto responsable del asesinato gritó Palestina libre en el momento de ser detenido, según ha relatado la policia, y tanto el presidente como el primer ministro israelí lo han tachado de crimen antisemita. También estaremos en Gaza donde la ayuda humanitaria, muy escasa, está entrando pero el reparto entre los miles de personas que llevan meses pasando hambre por el bloqueo israelí es ahora lo más complicado.Rusia y Ucrania han intercambiado las listas de mil prisioneros de cada país para ser canjeados en el que sería el mayor intercambio desde el inicio de la guerra. También estaremos en Rumanía donde el Tribunal Constitucional ha declarado al europeísta Nicusor Dan, presidente electo. En Reino Unido hay nuevos datos sobre inmigración en el último año. Tendremos una entrevista sobre los 80 años de la bomba atómica en Hiroshima y Nagasaki con Hiroshima, un libro de Agustín Rivera que narra la tragedia a través de los supervivientes y conoceremos la historia de una mujer que fue esterilizada forzosamente en Perú junto a varias decenas de miles de mujeres más bajo el gobierno de Alberto Fujimori.

Día 22 - María, discípula y misionera________________Muchos más recursos para tu vida de fe (Santo Rosario, Oración, etc.) en nuestra web https://sercreyente.com________________TEXTO BÍBLICO«En aquellos mismos días, María se levantó y se puso en camino de prisa hacia la montaña, a una ciudad de Judá; entró en casa de Zacarías y saludó a Isabel» (Lucas 1, 39-40)REFLEXIÓN Y PREGUNTAMaría concibió maravillosamente por obra del Espíritu Santo. Bien podía ella haberse quedado embelesada o parada ante algo tan grande. Pero no. María se pone en camino de prisa hacia la montaña, a ver a su prima Isabel, que espera un bebé. Cuando Dios actúa en el corazón humano, no es para dejarlo parado o embobado, sino para generar un movimiento de salida de sí y de servicio y entrega a los demás. Así vemos a María: siempre cerca de Jesús, como la primera discípula y misionera, y también tras la muerte y resurrección de Jesús junto a los discípulos. Y hoy María, la llena de Dios, sigue siendo misionera 100%: vive volcada en la misión de ser Madre de la Iglesia, de ser tu madre: vive constantemente bendiciéndote, protegiéndote, llevándote de la mano hacia su hijo Jesús. Su ser es misión, su vida es estar al servicio de Dios y de nosotros. ¿Vives tú como María, como discípulo y misionero, en movimiento, vuelto hacia tus hermanos? ¿O estás demasiado encerrado en ti mismo?ORACIÓNMaría, Madre mía, tú eres la mujer siempre en movimiento, verdadera discípula y verdadera misionera. Tú no te quedas parada acariciándote el alma sino que, llena de Dios, vives volcada por guiarnos, sostenernos y cuidarnos. Tómame de la mano y ayúdame a caminar tras tu Hijo con agilidad."FLOR" (COMPROMISO)Hoy quiero traerte, Madre, la flor de mi seguimiento de Jesús, de mi ser misionero; no quiero vivir una fe cómoda, no quiero encerrarme en mí mismo o quedarme parado. Ayúdame, María, a ser misionero de Jesús.________________Descárgate la app de SerCreyente en https://sercreyente.com/app/¿Conoces nuestra Oración Online?

1) Salió: Hay gente que va a salir de tu vida, algunos porque la misma vida los lleva a alejarse, otros porque no sacan el provecho que ellos quieren de la relación que tienen con vos, y otros, por el simple hecho de que hay algo que no funcionó. El tema no es que la gente se vaya, sino que busques retenerla como sea, porque puede ser que estés reteniendo al Judás de tu vida y solo sigas lastimando tu confianza y tu propia vida. 2) En sí mismo: La verdad está en vos mismo y es en tu mismo interior donde puedes encontrar las respuestas que haces a tu exterior. Entra aquí tu lucha personal y es que puedas dejar de buscar fuera lo que hay dentro de vos. El glorificar pasa por encontrar la gloria en tu vida a través de tu misma vida y no buscando que otros te den la gloria por aplausos o dependencia a lo que digan. 3) Ámense: El mandamiento de Jesús es que nos aprendamos a aceptar y acompañar como somos. Eso es lo que genera unidad, porque acepto a mi hermano como es y no como quisiera que sea. Porque no hacemos un casting para integrar a nuestra comunidad, sino más bien hacemos acompañamiento para ver a quién curar. La Iglesia sos vos y soy yo, pero no podemos reducirla a una mera institución. Algo bueno está por venir.

El Viaje A La Fiesta De Shavuot Parte 5: La Promesa De Pentecostés - Inglés y Español.  El derramamiento del Espíritu Santo no fue sólo el cumplimiento de una profecía, ¡fue la promesa de algo por venir! ¡Acompáñenos a profundizar en la historia de Judá y Tamar para entender esta asombrosa promesa!  Esta es una retransmisión de un sermón publicado originalmente el 26 de junio de 2020. Este año, 2025, celebraremos la Fiesta de Shavuot el domingo 8 de junio de 2025.

Antes de llegar a ser emperador, atravesó los Alpes con sus tropas rumbo a España. Allí se encontró con unos montañeses que acaloradamente disputaban sobre quién ejercía autoridad sobre cierta aldea. Los ayudantes del general se rieron a carcajadas de aquella contienda por considerarla insignificante. Pero el futuro caudillo de Roma les cortó la mofa con estas palabras: «No os burléis; también yo preferiría ser cabeza en esta aldea que brazo en Roma.» De allí el refrán que dice: «Más vale ser cabeza de ratón que cola de león.»1 Si bien no nos sorprende que Julio César prefiriera ser un pez gordo a ser uno de tantos, es de veras sorprendente la actitud de Jesucristo en cuanto a eso. A diferencia del césar, el Hijo de Dios, que es Señor de señores y Rey de reyes,2 escoge la vía de mayor resistencia y de menor importancia. Ya es cabeza de león, incluso ostenta el título de «León de Judá»,3 cuando opta por ser cola de ratón. El Hijo de Dios tiene las opciones de ser cabeza o cola de león o de ratón, cualquiera de las cuatro, es decir, de seguir siendo Rey del universo, o de ser uno de los ángeles del cielo, o príncipe de este mundo o un simple mortal, ¡y sin embargo prefiere ser cola de ratón! ¿Acaso no es eso lo que escoge cuando se hace hombre y habita entre nosotros?4 Es a eso precisamente a lo que se refiere San Pablo cuando nos dice que nuestra actitud debe ser como la de Jesucristo.5 Él sabe que va en contra de nuestra naturaleza humana, que se parece a la de Julio César, pues opta más bien por ser cabeza y no cola cuando se le da la oportunidad de escoger. Tanto es así que a los discípulos más allegados a Cristo les costó mucho trabajo aprender esa lección. En cierta ocasión los dos hermanos Jacobo y Juan tuvieron el atrevimiento de pedirle a Jesús que les concediera que en su reino uno de ellos se sentara a su derecha y el otro a su izquierda. Los otros diez discípulos, desde luego, al oír semejante petición se indignaron contra ellos. Jesús aprovechó la ocasión para decirles a todos: «Como ustedes saben, los que se consideran jefes de las naciones oprimen a los súbditos, y los altos oficiales abusan de su autoridad. Pero entre ustedes no debe ser así. Al contrario, el que quiera hacerse grande entre ustedes deberá ser su servidor, y el que quiera ser el primero deberá ser esclavo de todos. Porque ni aun el Hijo del hombre vino para que le sirvan, sino para servir y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos.»6 En otras palabras y a modo de refrán, a diferencia de Julio César, Cristo nos enseña que «el que quiera ser cabeza de león, más vale que se haga cola de ratón». Porque es mediante el servicio que se obtiene el mayor beneficio posible en esta vida.

What happens when you spend your whole life performing at the highest level, only to realize, in midlife, that you've been quietly carrying a mental health condition that almost no one talks about? In this episode, I am joined by Jud Heugel: pediatrician, health tech CMO, father, ultra-endurance athlete, and now—mental health advocate. After years of living in silence, Jud opens up about his journey with bipolar disorder, why he kept it hidden, and what changed when he decided it was finally time to share his truth. What started as a casual chat about podcasting turned into one of the most powerful conversations this show has ever held—because Jud's story is not just about bipolar. It's about resilience, self-acceptance, and using your life experiences as fuel for something bigger.   In this episode: His early struggles during medical residency—and what led to a full mental health breakdown The misunderstood highs of hypomania and how they impacted his life and career Why he believes sports—especially endurance sports—can be a tool for healing The stigma of mental health in medicine—and the long road to acceptance How middle age has become a time of radical self-actualization for him   Jud, you're forwarding progress in all ways and it's very humbling that you chose Right in Front of My face to as your starting line to opening up about bipolar. Thank you.   You can find Jud at https://www.thebalancedathlete.org/ and Substack: The Balanced Athlete.   You can find me on Instagram @rightinfrontofmyface or send me a note at rightinfrontofmyface@gmail.com.   If this conversation hit home for you, please share it with a friend and leave a review. It really does help more people find these stories. And as always, don't forget to look around—you never know what's happening right in front of your face.   Thank you to my sponsors Cassie and Jeremy Johnson with Windermere Real Estate: https://johnsonandwalker.com/

Bride Sanctified for the Marriage Feast (audio) David Eells, 5/14/25 Let me begin by saying that the Man-child and the Bride have been going through the sanctification process and overcoming in their personal trials to be ready in time for the anointing of the Man-child. They have passed the “love tests,” been cleansed and sanctified, becoming stronger in faith, in unity with one another, and proven to be faithful and obedient. I believe that the end of these tests and trials is coming and the Lord is coming with His reward and will reveal His chosen Bride to those who have eyes to see. But also the same trials that came to the Bride will then come to the Church in the tribulation and then these revelations below from 2011 will be very important.     Cleansing the Bride for the Feast (David's notes in red) A faithful pastor friend for many years called me and asked my advice. He said he was being slandered behind his back by some people in order to separate disciples. I shared with him that this was happening all over the world, according to many witnesses who have come to us. I told him that we had been told several years ago that an army of demons would come to try to destroy me and UBM. I shared what the Lord told us, that His purpose was to separate people from us because they were leavened and were polluting His Bride, who must now be pure to celebrate the wedding feast for the last seven years. I said Esther was separated from the virgins in the house of the women to go to the King's house before the seven-year reign of the beast, represented by Haman. We received revelations I want to share to help us understand this. (This was just after the first faction in 2011.)     Sons of Perdition Attack the Saints  Ellie McBride - 10/05/2011 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was at home visiting with Cynthia Marks. (In the natural, Cynthia is one of my co-workers.) She ordered something and was having it delivered to our house for some reason. After she left, I discovered that she had left something behind, so I called her on the phone to let her know. (It seems that Cynthia represents the sons of perdition in whom the false Jesus, Apollo, lives. In ancient times, Cynthia was a cultic title of the Greek god Apollo. Cynthia means “from Mount Kynthos”, which is on Delos Island, on which Apollo was supposed to have been born. Webster's Dictionary says that “Apollyon” used to be a common variant of “Apollo” until recently. Many scholars identify “Apollyon” as the Greek god “Apollo”, the god of death. Apollyon's Mountain, Kynthos or Cynthia, represents his kingdom of those who are destroyed, which in Greek is Apoleia. This is what the word says also: Apollyon is the King of the Abyss and those in it. Rev.9:11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek [tongue] he hath the name Apollyon [meaning Destroyer]. His kingdom is over those he destroys. 2Th.2:3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [ which is in Greek: Apoleia; those who are spiritually destroyed]. Rev.17:8 The beast [which is in spirit a corporate entity of demons ruling over flesh] that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition [Apoleia]. The demons enter into the corporate body of the sons of perdition to destroy them and they are brought into the abyss. Jud.10 But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. 2Pe.2:12 But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed. Railing in Greek is “blasphemeo”, which means “to speak evil of or slander”. Dear friends, let no man beguile you. Don't let the sons of perdition, these modern-day Judases, deliver anything to your house or leave anything behind as this dream warns us. In the natural and just like this dream, these people visited Ellie to leave some slander behind but she refused it because she had seen a vision of several of them spiritually dead. Others we are hoping will repent and come out from among them.) Cynthia's mother came to our house on a different day while they delivered the item Cynthia had ordered. (The Harlot is the mother of the corporate body of the son of perdition.) It turned out to be a very large blue stuffed animal. It looked like it might be a dog. (A stuffed dog is an unclean beast with no heart or mind of the Spirit. It is blue because they want to present this life of theirs to you as heavenly but it is born of destruction. What they want to give to the saints is a traitorous life of self-will, ego, rejection, faction, slander, unforgiveness, hatred, retaliation and lusts of all kinds. The Church is about to learn this of them.) It had a very long body with long floppy legs. (These people cannot stand or walk in the Kingdom.) I wondered why she ordered that and thought that maybe it was a present for her granddaughter named Promise. (The children of the Promise will not receive from the son of perdition.) Cynthia's mother said she would take it and deliver it to Cynthia. I told her it was okay and that Cynthia was to come over to pick it up and was also to pick up the other item she left behind. (In other words, “get that garbage out of my house”.) Since Cynthia and her mother don't get along that well, I was not comfortable with allowing her to take the items. (Just as Judas, the son of perdition, and the Sanhedrin, head of the Harlot, didn't get along but they did business in order to crucify the body of Christ.) After Cynthia's mother left, I learned of some sort of attack going on. (Any time the sons of perdition leave anything at your house it's an attack on you. They tried to do this with Ellie in the natural but she refused it.) I no longer remember how I learned of it. I might've looked outside and seen it after hearing some shots. Psa.11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. I saw some people with weapons shooting round balls or pellets of various sizes, but never any bigger than a baseball. When these pellets hit their target they would burst and splash blood all over their target. Lev.17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood... Life here is the soul or nature. Shooting represents speaking slanderous accusations against someone, which puts their evil nature in those who receive their words. When we do not warn the wicked, rather than be partakers of their sin, their blood [or nature] is upon us. Tit.3:10 A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; 11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned. Eph.5:11 and have no fellowship [giving and receiving] with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them 12 for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of. We are warned not to eat the unclean beasts which was revealed to Peter in Acts 10 to be speaking of partaking of the nature of unclean people.) I became curious about this and desired to understand why it was happening and why the blood. (I believe the projectiles are people being sent out to target certain brethren and if they are able to “hit” them or have an effect on them, the victims become contaminated with their blood or nature [through their evil spirits as we have seen].) I watched for a while. In the meantime, Cynthia came to our house to pick up her things and then tried to leave, but when she stepped out the front door there was a bad storm raging. She went back into our house to wait out the storm. (The sons of perdition have no faith because of their sinful life but they also know that the house of the righteous is the only safe place from the storms, so they decide to stick around for fear but not for long.) I was still busy studying this private war. The people were not attacking everyone, only members of a certain group. (As Judas did to Jesus, they attack mostly the David heads of the Bride but to a lesser extent the Bride because they cannot be a member of that body, which is so contrary to their nature. Psa.15:1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? [The answer is Jerusalem, the Bride as in Revelation 21:9,10.] 3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor) By watching, I learned that the attackers' projectile weapons had a limited reach. Once I figured that out, I stepped outside where it was happening and stood just out of the reach of the projectiles where I could face them and watch them safely without being hit. (I have been able to observe the war on the righteous from a safe distance without being affected.) (The Lord is saying, do not come in contact in any way with these people, lest they put something of their evil nature in your house.) I stood there and watched as they fired at different targets and watched as blood would cover the targets. (Defiling those who do not separate from them, meaning sanctifying themselves from them.) I saw a pellet that had not burst and picked it up to study it. I stood there for a long time observing when I heard my telephone ringing. I heard the phone number being called out and I recognized it as Annie's phone number. (In real life, I had attempted to contact her by phone on 10/04/11 but got the recorder and was only able to leave a message.) (“Annie” means “blessed with grace”.) In the dream, I believed she was returning my call. I apologized to her for taking so long to answer the phone. I informed her of the attack that I was observing take place. (Those who are blessed with grace will receive the warning to avoid the factious.) After talking to Annie, I received another call. This time from a man who was calling to check on me for some reason. (I believe this might have been David.) (I did this in real life and she informed me of an attack there.) I informed him of the attack I was observing as well and let him know that I had in my possession one of their pellets. I told him I intended to study it. I was very curious as to why they were attacking, and I was desirous to understand their weapons. (Ellie is being used to show what not to do here. Studying their weapons of slander is contrary to the commands and very dangerous. Curiosity has caused some to be infected with their slander and faction spirits. People find it hard to believe that “Christians” can lie like these do and are tempted to believe them. This curiosity could lead to something worse, as in the next scene.) The scene changed and I was in the shower with the water running. I did not notice right away, but I soon saw that it was not water coming out of the shower head, but blood. I quickly stepped back and thought it was gross that I had this blood on me. I called out to those in the house to caution them that somehow the attackers had managed to contaminate the water with their blood. I wondered to myself how they managed to do this. (Examining their words and thoughts is receiving a seed of demons and will bring a flood [shower] of temptation to overcome those who do not obey. Pro.8:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.) I let the water run until it was clear water again and no longer blood and I was then able to bathe. (I believe this is referring to them misusing the Word to persuade their targets into seeing things their way. Brethren should beware that if they are continuing to fellowship with some of these attackers that they are using the Word in such a way as to bring confusion and doubt.) The Lord spoke this verse to me concerning this dream: Isa.4:3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem; 4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning. See also Christian Snipers.   Separating Goats from Sheep   B.A. - 10/04/2011 (David's notes in red) At 4:30 a.m. this morning, I had a vision: It was dark, but in the darkness, I saw a house. The house was shining very brightly on the right side; it appeared to be glowing. I saw people gathered in a circle; they were very tall and they seemed at peace. They were praying and singing praises to the Lord. (This is the UBM house and on a larger type the house of God. They were on the right side because they were sheep which Jesus put on His right. That side was shining brightly because the glory of God was there. They were tall because they were big and mature in the ways of the Lord.) I saw how the left side of the house was very dark and smoke was coming out of the walls. The people looked like dwarves. They were angry and agitated, and they kept pacing back and forth. (Those on the left, of course, are the ones who act as goats, which Jesus put on His left. It was very dark because they were walking in darkness. Smoke is coming out of the walls because the judgment of God is upon it. They were dwarves because they had been stunted in their growth and were small and immature in the ways of the Lord. They are angry and agitated because they are full of faction, anger, slander, criticism, wrath, etc. They are pacing back and forth because they are nervous and stirred up by these demon spirits.) There was a door that separated the two sides of the house. There were no handles on either side of this door. (God has made a separation between the righteous and the wicked. They may not get at the truly righteous who obey His Word to separate from them and we may not minister to them, for God has given them over to this.) The people on the left were angry because they could not figure out how to get this door open to get into the other side. (The goats have been bitter and angrily trying to get at the righteous with their slander.) They wanted to stop those people from singing and praising the Lord. (The demons hate peace and praise among the righteous.) There was a crack about 3/4 of the way down through the center of the house. It looked like at any time the house would split apart. (This is the spiritual earthquake we have seen that is bringing separation of the wicked from the refuge and Bride. The separation will soon be physical, and they will leave our house as a purified house. The Lord said to me as I meditated on this that His foot was pushing down on the left side of the house. It looks like possibly there is a quarter of the way left to go but as the weight of their sin becomes greater they will break off. Father has been showing us for several years through dreams, visions and prophecy that an army of demons would make war with UBM and me in an attempt to destroy us but at the same time we were shown we would become greater in holiness, power, and ministry. (2025 update Note: This has been happening since 2011.) I noticed that the right side of the house was firmly on the foundation, whereas the left side of the house had no ground beneath it. I thought to myself, if that house splits all the way, the left side is going to fall and there's nothing to catch it! (We were told by the factious they would leave peaceably but they lied because they had their eye on carving up UBM from the cover of darkness. God also had His plan to separate those who could give in to these lusts and so He has. We pray constantly for our brethren that they would come to repentance and we know that a few ultimately will.)   The Lamp Of God B.A. - 10/07/2011 (David's notes in red) First Vision Mat.5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Psa.119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path. I had a vision of a large, green wicker floor lamp. As I looked at this lamp, I was drawn to it, so I went over and touched it. When I touched the lamp, it suddenly sprang open and revealed a refrigerator on the inside. This lamp appeared to be breathing (the breath of the Holy Spirit [in the lamp of the saints]). I believe this refrigerator in a lamp represents the Word of God in the saints. The fact that it was made of wicker (wood) and green (the color of life) represents the true people of God. The lamp revealing its inner self as a refrigerator is showing us the hidden manna in God's people. Also, a refrigerator preserves food (the spiritual food of the Word of God stored within our hearts) for future preparation when needed. Only God's true people are this lamp and have this refrigerator. The Lord is showing me that He is using faction to strengthen His Body. The Lord is drawing His Body together to feast on His Word and to pray in unity to combat this evil attack. We are being prepared as spiritual warriors. The Lord is pleased to see His David being defended and lifted up by the true Body of Christ. These factious spirits will not be able to penetrate the hedge of protection that the Lord has placed around His David and the true Body at UBM. The Holy Spirit is telling me to tell the Body to wait on and trust in the Lord. Psa.37:7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.     Preparation for the Bride Second Vision I saw the Body of UBM dressed up like brides. Some of the brides were in the kitchen preparing a large meal (feasting on the Word of God) (the wedding feast of the last seven years), some setting tables (preparation for the feast), others sweeping the floor (purging out the leaven) and washing windows (clearing our perception and discernment). This vision is very encouraging. Everyone seemed to know their gifts and were going about their tasks with joy and love. The righteous are preparing spiritually for their role as the Bride.     Bride to Be Separated M.C. - 03/25/2012 (David's notes in red) In my dream, I was in a very large building along with many thousands of people who were slowly milling around. There was white lighting overhead that appeared to be fluorescent. Facing ahead of me, the building seemed to be open with no wall. Most of the people in the building were to my left and there was a wall to my right. Our position in the building was critical. I knew I needed to be praying, especially in tongues, for the people in this room, particularly the people whom I knew. It was urgent that I pray that they would be in the right position. (Note that in this dream, every time I was impressed by the importance of prayer, a priority was placed on praying in tongues.) (The Spirit knows who the Bride is and what those left behind need in order to go with the Bride who follows the Man-child as it was with Jesus.) We were running out of time. (At this time, people must choose to be obedient by being in the process of putting on the lampros garment of the Bride, which is their righteous acts, according to the scripture. Those who are content to walk in a leukos garment are not yet ready to escape greater tribulation, which is needed for sanctification. Rev.19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [lampros] [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints [or sanctified ones].) Suddenly, those on the right side of the building started moving out of the building straight ahead through the opening. We were accelerating very quickly. As I glanced to my left, I noticed that there was a distinct line forming between the people who were still standing motionless and the people who were being moved out. In fact, the people who were left were lined up perfectly at the very edge of the line. The group left behind were all facing us. We hadn't known where that line was before. (There will be a distinction between the Bride and the rest of the church at the beginning of the Marriage Feast of seven days/years of the tribulation. Is this separation geographical? No, it's spiritual: it is authority, dominion, holiness, anointing, etc.) I realized we were out of time to pray for people to be in the group that was leaving (because the Bride was chosen to follow the Man-child reformer body as it was with Jesus.). I was very anxious for the people who were being left behind. I desperately tried to scan the faces of people right at the demarcation of the line, since there was a space between us now, but we were moving out so fast that I couldn't seem to recognize anyone. It was terrible. Behind the people remaining to the left, the light seemed to be fading; it got darker and darker the further to the left one went. (They are going into the darkness of tribulation for sanctification.) There were many thousands of people left behind whom I could see and an almost infinite number of people behind them were off in the darkness. I didn't recognize anyone in the dream. The separation was terrible and very sudden with no announcement. Once we started being moved out of the building, I couldn't seem to do anything by praying as to who was on which side. (The Bride is chosen to be the Bride at the beginning of her own Marriage Feast with the Groom.) At first I was very upset about the people being left behind and then I thought to myself that I needed to stop worrying and start praising God and thanking Him for what He was doing, and to leave the people whom we left behind in His hands. (Some of these people will be lost, as 1/3 of the stars of Abraham's seed fall from their heavenly place in Christ to the earth to be trampled under the feet of the Beast. Some of these people will overcome to walk in purity and holiness through the crucifixion of the tribulation.) I somehow felt that I could still pray for them, but the priority for that prayer was now on the back burner. Now I needed to concentrate on what was ahead of us that we were all moving toward. (Those chosen will recognize the new leadership of the Man-child as they did in Jesus' time. Joh.3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom ... As in the book of Esther, she is taken into the King's house at the beginning of the people of God's tribulation but she is also to use her position to save them. The Philadelphia Church of brotherly love escaped the hour of trial because they had already been through many trials and became beautiful to their Lord.) As we were being moved out of the building, our speed got faster and faster as we flew into the darkness. There was a strong wind blowing in the same direction as we were flying. I felt that it was really important to pray, especially in tongues. Eventually, we started coming down to the ground here and there in the darkness. When I came down, I noticed there weren't very many others around and we were all separated. There seemed to be a high metal roof overhead, like you might see over a large train station with an occasional light here and there. We were still moving, but now we needed to adjust to our new situation. There were white envelopes (the shape looked like #10, but their size was slightly larger) with white paper inside with instructions and encouragement for us that came flying past us in the wind parallel to the direction we were going. They weren't fluttering around. (These letters sailing by were kind of a “cool” phenomenon. We, the wind and the letters were all going in the same direction.) I think we had to collect them. Some were in tongues. We needed to get together, adjust to our new environment as we kept moving, read what was in these envelopes to find out what to do next and start working as a group. (The Bride will learn to work as a true Body of Christ by the individual messages of the Holy Spirit.) We also had much praying to do, especially in tongues. My takeaway from this dream at the time of this writing is that I need to be praying for people to be in this group that leaves. Praying made a difference in this dream. I had regrets when the separation happened in the dream. I don't want to have any regrets when this really happens. The first time I opened my Bible the morning I dreamed this, it opened not to a Bible verse, but to the Bible Study Helps section entitled “This Bible in Your Hand”. I opened to chapter nine, “Sooner Than You Think”.     Cleansing for the Marriage Feast C.P. - 12/27/2011 (David's note in red) I received this dream from the Lord, which I believe is a warning about preparing for the marriage feast. I feel it's important to share this because it relates to keeping your house filled with Christ. Our physical bodies serve no purpose except to house Christ and if we're not serving Him then we are serving other gods (which 1 Corinthians 10:20 says are actually demons). I dreamed we were at our home and my husband was on his way out. I somehow knew I'd be joining him later. I left the door open and the next minute my mother was at the front gate and just walked in (uninvited guest). She went straight to the “guest room” and told me she'd be staying with us from now on (I think my mother represents unclean spirits of anger, rejection, unforgiveness, condemnation, as well as the apostate church). Also, if we do not guard our gates (being the mouth, ears, and minds), we can expect the spirits we cast out to try to come back and make a home out of us. We read this in Mat.12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. I protested and told her that she could not do so. She said that I had prepared a room for her and that she was now staying with us. (Whatever place in our hearts the husband, Jesus, vacates, it is prepared for other spirits to return.) I was very uneasy about this because I knew my husband would not be happy about this (this is the fight between our flesh and our spirit. We know what the spirit requires of us; we need to keep our spiritual house clean and abiding in Christ). However, I acquiesced to her demand. Just then, my younger sister also walked into the house. (She represents the immature Christians who are easily swayed by the older, fallen-away church). They both sat at the dining room table and I thought of feeding them, but never put any food in front of them to eat. (These spirits and demons need to be fed, but it's our choice whether we'll add fuel to their demands to make us fall away from the promises of God.) They immediately started bad-mouthing my marriage to my husband (who represents Jesus). (The true Gospel and the true Bride are a threat and an insult to the apostate church because it preaches salvation instead of bondage.) They told me it was unnatural to be that close to him and that he had changed me; they did not even recognize me anymore (Jesus changes us to the extent that these spirits of apostasy are not at peace in us or in others concerning us.) (The true Bride will not be recognized in the tribulation because people will not want to accept the truth). My sister was particularly loose with her mouth and after a while, I calmly said to her that it was unfair to talk about my husband that way because he had helped her so many times and was very loyal to her. (The Lord has been loyal to the apostates but they do not return that love through obedience.) I told her that if she had nothing good to say, she should leave. She got up to leave, but just before doing so she and my mother asked me to “prove” my love for my husband (the saints will surely be tested). I said, surely I would do that. They told me to go out the back door (the past) of my house and take a shower in the street. (Nakedness represents sin and washing in front of others represents confessing our sins so that God will cleanse us. 1Jn.1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Jas.5:16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. Notice you are to confess most sins to a righteous person who has faith so they can pray for you. Others are not trustworthy but gossipers. Sins against an individual most of the time, should be confessed to them so that they will forgive you. However, if they do not know about it, it may cause them to stumble. Sometimes God would have you confess publicly so others will fear God and recognize evil.) The scene changed and I was in the middle of Oxford Street in London at night. (Europe's busiest and densest shopping street, which represents Babylonish buying and selling the church does in darkness.) I took a shower in a transparent cubicle on the left sidewalk of the street. (Literal and physical nakedness is not permitted scripturally. Only spiritual nakedness can be seen as good in that we should not have any hidden sins. Pro.28:13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy. Psa.32:3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long. 4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. 5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. 6 For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. Also, we should reveal sin as sin so that the world will know that we agree with holiness.) But we will also be protected (as in the cubicle). The world will see us but will not be able to “touch” us. I noticed that there was a group of well-dressed, suited men walking out of a restaurant together with a pretty lady (those who want to look good to the world but not to God) who had dark hair (submission to darkness) and wearing a red dress (Sin is described as red in Isaiah 1:18. We see here the harlot spirit of apostate Christianity). I felt so vulnerable being naked in the shower, but I had never been more clean; my skin glistened. (Confessing our sin makes us vulnerable to others but we are cleansed.) The woman seemed to get very angry with me for showering in public and she came over to me and wanted to spray me with whipped cream (the perversion and sweetening of milk, symbolizing the sweetening of the truth to make it acceptable to more people). I kept ducking and diving out of her aim and she said, “Don't try to pretend to be different; you've done exactly the same as me”. To that I replied, “No, I have not. I have never defiled anyone”. She walked away and I managed to get back into my house. (We do not defile others when we are not hiding any sin and when we confess what we have done wrong as sin.) Then I was trying to get ready for a banquet (the Marriage Feast of 7 days -- the tribulation). My mother was still there, shouting insults at me and about my husband all the time. I asked her to help me get ready for the banquet, but she did not. (The nature and spirits of apostasy will not prepare one to be in the Bride or even to attend the feast.) (Sometimes we are so used to our demons and spirits that we think they are part of our nature and try to use our own characteristics to prepare for trials. We need to be mindful that everything that we exhibit that is not of God and does not liken us to Jesus needs to be cast down and told to depart from us; we cannot be slaves to two masters.) Instead, every time I put on a white garment, she either wet it or soiled it. (When apostasy is in our hearts, our life and actions manifest spots and blemishes on our spiritual garment.) I was getting a little frustrated with her and told her she must leave. I told her I needed my garment ready for when my husband came to take me to the banquet. Rev.19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God. She said she could not leave because I'd left the door open for her and had a room for her. I then told her that I no longer had a guest room and that the room she was trying to inhabit belonged to my eight-month-old baby (the fruit of Jesus, 888 is his gematria in Greek) (the salvation and manifestation of Christ in us takes time and it is through faith that it can grow). She got angry and tested this but could not go into the room (Once Jesus is large enough in us, there will be no space for the spirits and demons. Once the saints have grown in faith, there will be no place for the apostate church). Eventually, I managed to get my white garment on and she left, and I waited for my husband. (After rejecting apostasy, it had to leave and the garment was pure for the Groom.) Rev.15:4 Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.

Dios descendía entonces y se instalaba en el Lugar Santísimo, en medio de su pueblo. Había una tribu principal en cada uno de los cuatro lados del Tabernáculo. Según Números 2, ¿cuáles eran las cuatro tribus principales? Números 2:3 (este): ...............................................................................................Números 2:10 (sur): ...............................................................................................Números 2:18 (oeste): ..........................................................................................Números 2:25 (norte): .......................................................................................... Nota que cada una de esas cuatro tribus enarbolaba su propio “estandarte”, o bandera especial, para identificarse. Aunque las Escrituras no son explícitas en cuanto a lo que había en cada bandera, existe una tradición interesante (basada en las características descritas en Gén. 49 y Deut. 33) que asigna una cara a cada una de esas tribus: “Según la tradición rabínica, el estandarte de Judá tenía la figura de un león; el de Rubén, la de un rostro humano;el de Efraín, la figura de un buey; y el de Dan, la de un águila; de modo que las cuatro criaturas vivientes descritas por Ezequiel estaban representadas en estos cuatro estandartes” (Carl Friedrich Keil y Franz Delitzsch, Commentary on the Old Testament [Peabody: Hendrickson, 2011], t. 1, p. 660). Es posible leer demasiado en la tradición, pero sigue siendo interesante comparar esta con la descripción bíblica de la Nueva Jerusalén, ya que hay puertas que representan a tres tribus en cada uno de los cuatro lados de la ciudad (Apoc. 21:12, 13). Las descripciones del campamento de Israel y de la Nueva Jerusalén subrayan un hecho crucial: Dios pretende acercar a la humanidad a su Trono. Apocalipsis nos enseña que “su templo es el Señor Dios Todopoderoso y el Cordero” (Apoc. 21:22).Aunque ciertamente no estamos en el campamento de Israel, ¿cómo podemos acercarnos a la presencia de Dios? 

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 11 DE MAYO"AQUÍ ESTOY, ENVÍAME A MÍ"Mientras Isaías contemplaba esta revelación de la gloria y majestad de su Señor, se quedó abrumado por un sentido de la pureza y la santidad de Dios. ¡Cuán agudo contraste notaba entre la incomparable perfección de su Creador y la conducta pecaminosa de aquellos que, juntamente con él mismo, se habían contado durante mucho tiempo entre el pueblo escogido de Israel y Judá! "¡Ay de mí! —exclamó—; que soy muerto; que siendo hombre inmundo de labios, y habitando en medio de pueblo que tiene labios inmundos, han visto mis ojos al Rey, Jehová de los ejércitos". Isaías 6:5. Estando, por así decirlo, en plena luz de la divina presencia en el santuario interior, comprendió que si se le abandonaba a su propia imperfección y deficiencia, se vería por completo incapaz de cumplir la misión a la cual había sido llamado. Pero un serafín fue enviado para aliviarle de su angustia, y hacerle idóneo para su gran misión. Un carbón vivo del altar tocó sus labios y oyó las palabras: "He aquí que esto tocó tus labios, y es quitada tu culpa, y limpio tu pecado". Entonces oyó que la voz de Dios decía: "¿A quién enviaré, y quién nos irá?" E Isaías respondió: "Heme aquí, envíame a mí". Vers. 7, 8 (Profetas y reyes, pp. 228, 229). Dios tiene obreros en toda época. Satisface la demanda de la hora con la llegada del hombre apropiado. Cuando la voz divina clame: "¿A quién enviaré, y quién irá por nosotros?" llegará la respuesta: "Heme aquí, envíame a mí". Isaías 6:8... El Señor imparte idoneidad para la obra a todo hombre y mujer que quiera cooperar con el poder divino. Obtendrán todo el talento, el valor, la perseverancia, la fe y el tacto que requieren, cuando se pongan la armadura. Hay una gran obra que hacer en nuestro mundo, y los agentes humanos responderán ciertamente a la demanda. El mundo debe oír la amonestación. Cuando llegue la invitación: "¿A quién enviaré, y quién irá por nosotros?", contestad en forma clara y definida: "Heme aquí, envíame a mí" (Testimonios para la iglesia, t. 6, pp. 334, 335). Isaías recibió una maravillosa visión de la gloria de Dios. Vio la manifestación del poder de Dios, y después de haber contemplado su majestad recibió el mensaje de ir y realizar cierta obra; pero se sintió completamente indigno para ella... Cuando contempló la inexpresable majestad de Dios, dijo: "¡Ay de mí! que soy muerto; porque siendo hombre inmundo de labios, y habitando en medio de pueblo que tiene labios inmundos, han visto mis ojos al Rey, Jehová de los ejércitos. Y voló hacia mí uno de los serafines, teniendo en su mano un carbón encendido, tomado del altar con unas tenazas; y tocando con él sobre mi boca, dijo: He aquí que esto tocó tus labios, y es quitada tu culpa, y limpio tu pecado". Como seres humanos, esta es la obra que necesitamos que se haga por nosotros. Necesitamos que el carbón encendido tomado del altar sea colocado sobre nuestros labios. Necesitamos escuchar las palabras: "Es quitada tu culpa, y limpio tu pecado" (Comentarios de Elena G. de White en Comentario bíblico adventista del séptimo día, t. 4, p. 1161). 

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         II TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Miguel PáezDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchVIERNES 09 DE MAYOPARA ESTUDIAR Y MEDITAR: Las Escrituras dejan claro que Cristo es el único capaz de asegurar nuestra salvación en virtud de su perfecta dignidad. Su vida fue la única sin pecado, el único ejemplo de una vida que satisfizo perfectamente la gloria del Padre. Él es el Cordero de Dios sin mancha y ahora está a la cabeza de la raza humana como nuestra seguridad eterna. Al mismo tiempo, cargó con nuestra culpa, satisfaciendo así el juicio que es la respuesta de Dios a la maldad. Cuando Juan presencia la increíble escena de los seres celestiales reunidos en torno al Trono de Dios, se le dice que deje de llorar porque “el León de la tribu de Judá [...] ha vencido” (Apoc. 5:5). Piensa, además, en cuán grave es el pecado y cuán caída está realmente la humanidad, al punto de que solo la muerte de Jesús, Dios mismo, podía resolver el problema. De haber existido alguna otra manera de salvarnos, no cabe duda de que Dios la habría empleado. “La quebrantada Ley de Dios exigía la vida del pecador. En todo el universo solamente existía uno que podía satisfacer sus exigencias en lugar del hombre. Puesto que la Ley divina es tan sagrada como Dios mismo, solo uno igual a Dios podría expiar su transgresión. Ninguno sino Cristo podía salvar al hombre de la maldición de la Ley, y colocarlo otra vez en armonía con el Cielo. Cristo cargaría con la culpa y la vergüenza del pecado, que era algo tan abominable a los ojos de Dios que iba a separar al Padre de su Hijo. Cristo descendería a la profundidad de la desgracia para rescatar a la raza caída” (Elena de White, Patriarcas y profetas, p. 48). PREGUNTAS PARA DIALOGAR: 1. Juan ve a Jesús entrar en la sala del Trono como un cordero “inmolado” (RVR 1960). Apocalipsis 13:8 dice que Jesús fue “inmolado” (RVR 1960) desde la fundación del mundo. ¿Qué nos enseña acerca de Dios el hecho de que el Plan de Salvación ya estaba en marcha antes de que lo necesitáramos? 2. Muchos ateos creen que estamos solos en un universo frío e indiferente. En cambio, la Biblia no solo habla de Dios, sino también de que amó tanto al mundo que descendió a él e incluso murió por él. ¿Hasta qué punto debemos ver el mundo y nuestro lugar en él de manera diferente de como lo ven quienes no creen en Dios? En otras palabras, ¿cómo debería influir la realidad de la Cruz en todo lo que hacemos? 3. ¿Por qué fueron la vida, la muerte y la resurrección de Cristo el único medio para salvar a la humanidad? Una vez más, ¿qué nos dice eso acerca de cuán malo y grave es realmente el pecado?

“So many firsts.“   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Jamie, Jud, and Torie.  After discussing Kaitlyn/Colin nuptials and cars they shockingly move quickly to book topics.  Is “The Great Gatsby” the great American novel?  Is there really a great American novel?   COB alum and fave  Victoria Christopher Murray zooms in to share “Harlem Rhapsody,” the story of Jesse Redmon Fauset, the “literary midwife” of the Harlem Renaissance.  Victoria's the perfect person to write about the woman at the heart of a cultural renaissance.

Hicimos una introducción al libro. Es una historia en el tiempo de los Jueces (el libro más triste) donde Israel vive en una crisis constante, por su pecado y la falta de liderazgo.
