Samuel Acevedo
A supernatural life. Acts chapter 1 beginning with verse 6, verse 7, verse 8. While they are looking for, brothers, the word I want to encourage to see if you are here, not all but many of you may most of us, maybe not all but most are here because We are facing something big, seemingly insurmountable. I'm talking about if there are problems, but I say there are problems and there are problems that are not problems, it is way of life. Some problems are so large and seemingly insurmountable that we have already used to them, it is almost part of the family. We have given life through them, control the scene so that it dictates our way of thinking, the decisions we do, how we raise our children, how we work, why work, where we work. And dictate how we live, control, control us.
And you're here because you are asking the Lord, Lord, there will be a way to overcome this once and conquer this hill. And what says the Lord, and this is what the Lord is sharing about this word is that this is not the vision of the Lord for you, first I beat it. God wants more, expected more from you and you. The Lord not only wants you overcome these seemingly insurmountable problems, the desire is that we conquer, conquer it. And for that you have access to supernatural power.
"... .. so who had gathered asked him, saying, Lord, restore the kingdom of Israel at this time? And he said, not for you to know times or seasons, or times and at key moments he has given not for you to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in his own power, but receive power when the Holy and the Holy Spirit and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth ... "
My brothers, each of us, you can not identify with the disciples. Imagine, they ask the Lord, Lord, before you go, before you ascend, do not think your restore Israel, do not think you fix these things that are out of whack and that the Messiah was supposed to fix? It is assumed that you would attend and that you got? Brothers, well understood this when apparently greater glory, it seems that the risen Christ is at the time of his great triumph. Jesus saw victory over death, see it built after his death, they see clearly that Jesus is Lord. No doubt he is the Messiah, then he is resurrected.
why now the Lord decides to go to heaven with so much unresolved? What does the Lord, what madness is this? The Lord left the scene and with so many things out of control. And it is not. Declare a Gospel that says that Jesus is risen from the dead, who sits on the right hand of the Father who has all authority and have not done yourself this question when no know the Lord. Knew well and why such a mess? If so, why such injustice? If so, why these laws as unfair? If so, why so many diseases? If so, why the economy is like it is? If so, why there is so much out of control? You have not heard that? You have not spoken well?
And guess what? we all enter this world already have systems and policies in place at the moment we arrived and we had no control over them. At the moment we arrived, when you were born and had things in place on which you did not control. There they are, they're there. And I do not know why, do not know why God allows these things are there, why allow it.
But the answer of the Lord is watching, there are certain things which the Father does not even want to bother. And brothers, there are certain things that you've been asking the Lord and I can encourage, come before the Lord, bring their petitions to the Lord, bring your questions to the Lord, bring their uncertainties to the Lord, but not be shocked if anything the Lord's answer, that's not up to you, my brother, that you will never have the answer, never know the heart of God about it. The Lord for some reason has allowed this and that.
know, and so, the Lord says, look, not for you to know these things. Some things are beyond your control and out of their hands and God willed it so. Before I get depressed I will say that this scene will change, but stay with me for the moment and know that God has a plan here with this, believe me, but for now know that God has allowed certain things that are beyond their control and out of their hands. We did not choose how we were born. You were born as and where and through the parents that the Lord chose for you. Not choose as you were born, did not choose who was going to be your parents, you can not change your height, race, color of skin or eyes, you can not change what our ancestors did to theirs. You do not see people living their lives still fighting a war that happened 150 years ago? And that is his reason for living. Trying to correct injustices that were here before them born and will be here if God allows, after that we go and live well. Or
still can not change or even what you have done, what we did years ago. What's done is done. The decisions you made 5 years ago, 10 years ago last month, that is done. And it is written in history. Now, how you react to hear that? And this is the difference. The attitude supernatural know which to choose.
On this night and this is the difference of supernatural power, you can choose the sign of a victim, you can choose tonight and say, well, I have no control over these things and we can live lamenting our failures, regretting what we have lost or what you never had. You can live well. And there are many living, the vast majority of humanity lives as well.
But you're here tonight because God has shown a door number 2, an alternative. You are here because for some reason glory to God, the Holy Spirit has worked in your spirit and I said, do not have to live like that. Not have to live regretting what you can not control because we can receive power.
Brothers, perhaps not well or not well heard inside, but maybe you heard that little voice that brought you here you said something, something like this. You know, I do not understand why they feel this way, but I feel I was born for something else. Though no one in my family, although none of my circumstances say that I'll survive this, something tells me that my life can change. Moreover, undefined something and this something that there is hope but I do not see how there can be hope, there is a solution although it is impossible to see the source of the solution. And so this mystery of the gospel, the voice of the falls, as the Psalm 42, speaking in the depths of our souls, the whisper of the Holy Spirit invites us to look for something else.
says the Lord, yes, ok, there are things you do not understand and maybe play some things never touch your control, but this says the Lord, receive power. When the Holy Spirit descend upon you, you know, is not enough ... the purpose of God is not you control your circumstances, that is not the goal of the Church of Jesus Christ. Many programs offer that. The world offers that. The secular world, the secular mind can help you cope with your situation but the purpose of the Kingdom of God is not that we control our circumstances or even to overcome our circumstances, the purpose of the Kingdom of God is to conquer our circumstances.
do you mean by this? We go to Romans, Chapter 8, for a moment. All this makes the presence of the Holy Spirit in you. Romans, chapter 8, verse 11, this is the process. You hear that whisper from the Lord, in church, go, find out where this brother loves his brother, his neighbor, his cousin who goes to that church. Ve Maybe your situation can change, then you have an encounter with the Holy Spirit and the word declared as follows:
"... and if the spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, who rose from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you .... "
is, we're talking about one and the same spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. What does that mean? First, number 1, the first thing that dies is death. The Lord is promising eternal life. At the time that the Holy Spirit indwelling you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord, erase your sins, he, the living Christ lives in you, the Lord writes your name in the book of life, but there's more. When the spirit of God dwells in a Things have to change and so declares the word. We then go to verse 31:
"... what shall we say this, if God is with us who is against us ?..." verse 37," ... before all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us for I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature .... "laws are created things, your family is something created the situation that brought you here was something created ...., "... anything else under the throne of God can separate the love of Christ and authority ... "
Well, at ground does this mean? Transformation. In tonight brothers, if you say, and this is a process. First you have, as Jesus told his disciples, seek the Holy Spirit, crave the Holy Spirit, fall in love with the Holy Spirit say, I need you. This can not be changed unless you do not change. This requires you, the Spirit of God. Lord, my life has a worthy, worthy, Lord, in your presence.
And what happens? Maybe then you will not feel anything, but when you go home, you and your world will change. First you will not see life the same. The first thing that happens when the Holy Spirit begins to dwell in you is that you see walls had doors open, he sees hope and joy when prevailed only depression and mortality. In other words, the first thing happens, it happens within us. Not happened to you as well? seems a little slow but the moment you enter his apartment, gets into his car, walking the streets, the same day you received the Lord Jesus and when you say, wait, something is not the same. And maybe you are realizing more problems. The clutter in your home, clutter in your finances, the disorder in your family, welcome to life, woke from the dead. You are alive. You're alive. At last the Lord opened the eyes of your understanding, not only that, the world around you begin to see the authority of God in you. There is something undefined
happens when the Holy Spirit dwells within you. And since the laws of the universe must bow to the Holy Spirit is in you. Brethren, by the fact that the Holy Spirit is in you begin to open doors before you even realized existed.
power, can mean. By the fact that the Holy Spirit is in you can receive wisdom for a decision years ago, things have been an obstacle to his life, and the moment you see the Lord illuminates his mind and receive the mind of Christ. It can In order to have control over your finances. Can finally have control over addictions and character flaws that have been following for life. Can finally be the father that boy needs. Can finally be home mother that she needed. And you will be my witnesses.
And that's the point. Jesus had a plan, had a plan for the Kingdom back to Israel. Know, what was your plan? Your life.
last Sunday in a discipleship class brothers gave their testimony why they were in ... what was it that moved to follow Christ and what it was that they moved to enter into discipleship? And each of these men of different countries, different ages, with different backgrounds told the same story: I saw my mother come to the Lord and saw his attitude changed, such as quit smoking, and left to unravel, and overcame the depression, and finally I said, wow, something in this and I have to zoom in to see what we have here. I saw my wife, my wife came first, and saw how God transformed. And at first I went with her to accompany her, but after all, the word came to me and my life has not been the same.
My brothers, the world can persist with our theology, but the world can not persist or at this time no miracles today. Brother, you are a factory of miracles. At the moment the Spirit God dwells in you, you're a machine through which the Lord gives miraculous results. And you will be a witness. Let us stand
. I'll invite them to receive power at this time. You are more than conquerors, through the spirit of God dwelleth in you. And it starts with him, begins with a dialogue with him. Brothers, there are times that I am one of these disciples and I measure the signals and watch the news and I look natural and turbo, I'm going to confess, I stop looking at turbo because that dwells within my spirit of the risen Lord, the risen Christ. My brothers, dialogue with the spirit of God at this time. Jesus through your spirit invite your power. Lord, through your mind, focus your power and say where, say where, say where. If you're one of those tell me, Lord, this solution, I have to live with a life sentence for this problem, this addiction, this wall so that you rose again and that your spirit lives in me. I invite God's spirit, I invite God's spirit, I invite God's spirit, I invite God's spirit. I declare that my body is your temple, I declare that all authority, all power falls at your feet. Jesus declared, that you are now the ruler. Now, he dwells on all circumstances, in the name of Jesus you have made me more than conqueror. Is today be tomorrow, but Lord, sooner or later I declared the victor over all that opposes your reign in my life. I declare in the name of Jesus.
're not a winner again, brethren, know what you are, we are more than conquerors. We are more that conquerors. More than conquerors, through you, Jesus. Thank you Jesus.
