Good morning, watchmen. I hope you are all doing very well. Happy and blessed Thursday. Good morning, ladies. I, over here, feel very happy to have you for one more early morning. One more early morning where we can feel the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. One more early morning learning about the living word. One more early morning in communion with the Lord. Together as watchmen, watching, praying, preaching. And for that very reason, I want to give thanks to God this early morning. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you for this new day, Lord, that you allow us to live, Father. Thank you because you are good, holy, and merciful, Lord, with each one of your children. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Holy Father. Thank you for loving us, Lord. Thank you for providing us with food, a home. Thank you because we can feel your presence through other people, Lord, who also offer us your love and companionship, Father. For those words that you make reach us, Father, through the people who love us, through strangers, Lord. Thank you, Lord, because even though we go through valleys of shadow, you are with us, Lord, accompanying us, guiding us, Lord. Thank you because you provide for us, Father, because you do not let us fall, because you do not let us faint, Lord. Thank you because you multiply the loaves for us, Lord. Thank you, Father, because you are good, Father. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you for forgiving our sins on that cross, Lord, for taking our humanity there, Lord. Thank you because you redeem our sins, Lord. Thank you because you heal us, Holy Father. You took away every bondage, Holy Father. Thank you because you make us free, Lord. You make us free from all bondage. Thank you, Father. Thank you because we are loved by you, Lord. Even being sinners, we are loved by you, Lord. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Allow us, Lord, this early morning to have a word, Lord, a word that reaches each of the hearts of the watchmen who are listening to us. Lord, allow us this early morning to be bearers, Lord, of your voice, of your word, of your thoughts, Lord. Use me, Lord, as your tool, Holy Father, to deliver the message you want me to deliver, and may each person receive the message, Lord, according to the desires, longings, and needs of their heart and their life, Lord. May it be you, Lord, putting the right words in my mouth. May it be you, Lord, placing the ideas, the thoughts, Lord, for this early morning. Do not allow it to be me speaking, Lord, but you using me, Holy Father. May each one of the women who is connected this early morning, Lord, receive your living word, Father, may she accept you in her heart, Lord, may she feel in her heart every rejoicing, Lord, full of joy, of love, of happiness, of protection, Lord, may each of the watchmen understand, Lord, that all and each one of the people who are connected are sustained in your hand, Lord, because you sustain us, you carry us, you guide us, Father. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Holy Father. Thank you, beloved God. This early morning we recognize, Lord, that you are holy, that you are good, that you are King of Kings, that you are a merciful father. Lord, we love you and we bless you, Lord Jesus. Amen and amen. Thank you, watchmen, for being here one more day, one more day saying yes to the Lord. This early morning we will have a very special sermon. This early morning we will be talking about how the Lord works in each of our challenges, mistakes, how the Lord remains with us wherever we are. He is in your process, watchman. In your difficult season, in your pain, in your difficulty, he is there. And this early morning I really don't come to speak to you from a platform, I don't come to speak to you from the unknown. This early morning I come to speak to you from an open heart, watchman, because I know there is a season where we love God, but we also cry. There are seasons where we can be praying, but we are not understanding the process we are going through. There are seasons where we continue to believe, but at the same time we are tired, where we can be smiling in front of our friends. But when we get to our room, we break down. When we get to our pillow, we let it all out. And I want to tell you something with great honesty, Watchman. There are times when we don't need a nice sermon or for someone to speak to us nicely, but rather for them to speak to us with the reality we live, because those processes are not resolved only with motivational phrases. Those pains are not healed with mere declarations. There are burdens that are only from God because only he and you know how heavy those burdens are. Perhaps, watchman, you have asked yourself at some point in your life, where are you, Lord, that I don't see you? Why don't I feel you? Why have you allowed me to live this situation? I don't know how long I will endure because everyone is moving forward and I am still behind. Why do I feel alone, Lord, if I love you? I have given everything. And why do I have to go through this situation if I have given you everything? But this early morning the Lord comes with a clear word for you, Watchman. God is also here. God is also in your process, in your anxiety, in that room where you cry, in that season that no one knows about. He is also in that confusion where no one understands you. He is there, watchman, in that silence that you don't comprehend, in the anguish, in the illness. Perhaps you don't feel him like before, you don't see him as you would like, but his presence, watchman, does not depend on your emotions. Let's read together our base text, which is Isaiah. Let's read Isaiah, chapter 43, verse 2. And it says to us: "When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you. When you pass through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you pass through the fire of oppression, you will not burn. The flames will not consume you." Amen. Amen. And amen. Watchman. The most beautiful thing, look, in verse 3 it says, "For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel your Savior." That's how beautiful God is with each one of us, watchmen. Look how he says, "When you have to pass through water, I will be with you." Watchman, he is not telling you that you will not pass through the waters. He is telling you that he will accompany you in that storm. When you have to cross rivers, you will not drown. When you pass through fire, you will not burn. You will pass through fire, watchman, but you will not burn. You will pass through storms, but you will not drown. That is, he did not want to tell us no. Never in his word does he tell us that we will not go through trials. He told us, "When you pass, I will be with you." And that really changes everything, Watchman. Think about it deeply. Think about it in this situation where you are. In this difficulty, in this process, watchman, you feel mostly, what? Alone. Alone, right? I want to tell you, Watchman, that you are not alone, that the Lord is with you. He accompanies you, he supports you, he guides you, he protects you. He loves you and is there for you. In that process, in that difficulty, he sustains you, he guides you, he provides for you. Surrender to him, watchman. Surrender to him and give him all your burdens, because humanly you cannot do it, Watchman. Humanly, you cannot handle everything, you have no control over anything, really, but you have to let go, let go of so many burdens that you have and give them to the Lord, who is the only one who can truly do something, watchman, for you, for your child, for your family, for your career, for your profession, for your home, for your future, watchman. There are pains that no one sees, but God does see them. I know there are many tears that people have not seen from you. People can see your social media, your photos, your smile, you continue at your job, you continue solving your life. But most have not been able to see those nights you cry, the anxiety attacks, the fear, the emotional exhaustion that you carry, watchman. I know you are used to being strong. I know you are used to carrying all those burdens, to fighting with life. I know it's difficult for other people to see you as incapable or that you can no longer do it, but God does see you, watchman. The Lord does see you in your difficulty. He sees you with your burdens, he knows them. How do we all know that the Lord knows each of your burdens and your anxieties? Let's read together Psalms, chapter 56, verse 8. And it says, "You keep track of all my sorrows and have collected all my tears in your flask. You have recorded each one of them in your book." Wow. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord, because you know our feelings, our sufferings, and you have taken into account each of our tears, Lord. Wow. Thank you, Father. Thank you. How beautiful, Lord. How beautiful. I feel, watchman. I personally feel so relieved with this word because I know that every tear counts, every tear is not in vain. That is, the times I have cried in the bathroom, the times you have cried while driving, the times you cry even without knowing why, the Lord does know why and has them counted, has them registered, has them saved. In fact, the Lord has seen them all. The Lord heals our hearts, heals that pain, heals that anguish, accompanies us in that wound. It is very important, Watchman, to understand that this process you are going through is not a punishment, this process is formation. Many people believe that this problem means that God is angry, that God is punishing you, but the Lord is not punishing you, watchman, the Lord is forming you. Because there are things that can only be born from processes like maturity, understanding, character, depth. Dependence on God. All of that is born through the processes we go through. There are people who before the process prayed out of routine, but after the process they pray with hunger. There are many times we trust people, but we have to go through that process to learn to trust God. There are people who lived distracted, unfocused, but after that process, after that pain, they were able to awaken spiritually. And that is why the process is so important. In Romans chapter 5, verses 3 to 4, it says, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." Amen. These two verses, watchmen, say it all clearly. Here it says, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance." That is, this difficulty, this process, this obstacle, this pain is part of the process for you to develop other skills, for you to learn, for you to develop firmness of character, for you to strengthen your hope in your salvation. The Lord does not romanticize pain. It's not like, oh, well, this is part of the process, I'm very happy about this. But the Lord does know how to pull you out of that dark season. He does know how to bring out that gold, that essence that is within you from that dark season to make you a better person, to make you more confident in him, to bring you out stronger, more spiritually mature. That transformation is not pretty, but it is part of your process. Watchman. There are seasons where God seems silent. There are moments when we pray, but we can still feel silence, right? Many times we ask for direction, answers, relief, and we only hear silence, and let's be clear, Watchman. That silence drives us terribly crazy because we think, "My God, is God not listening to me? Is the Lord not with me? Lord, please, speak to me, tell me something." But it is important, Watchman, that you know that this silence is not abandonment on God's part. Never, never is it abandonment on God's part. Sometimes the teacher remains silent during the exam, but that doesn't mean he's not there. He is there in the classroom. He is watching you closely to make sure you are not cheating, right? In fact, he is more focused on you than ever. It's the same with God. And I want us to read together Deuteronomy 31, chapter 31, verse 8, which says, "Do not be afraid or discouraged, because the Lord himself will go before you. He will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Amen. I love this verse because it tells us how the Lord commands us to never fear the path. It tells us how the Lord will always be before us guiding us, protecting us, sustaining us, opening the way, fighting with whoever he has to fight. He is with you, watchman. He never fails you. And it is so important that you know that he never abandoned you. Even if you don't feel it, even if you don't understand anything, even if it seems late, he is with you, watchman. He is working in you. He is punctual in your process. The valley, watchman, is not your home. I don't want you to make that pain your identity, for that depression not to define you. I don't want you to present yourself from that broken wound, nor to think from sadness, much less to speak from disappointment. Because that valley is not your home. That valley is a season of transformation, of maturity, of surrender. Just as Psalm 23:4 tells us, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." Amen. Even if you pass through that obstacle, watchman, the Lord is by your side. Even if you are going through that illness, the Lord is by your side. Even if you pass through the darkest valley, meaning, it doesn't say if I stay in this dark valley, it doesn't say if I pass, meaning it is something transitional, a movement. Perhaps, watchman, in this season you are going through grief, betrayal, delay. You are in waiting, in scarcity, or with mental exhaustion, but you are passing through. Don't stay there, watchman. It is a transition, a movement, a stage of your life that is not forever. I want you to know that God is also in what you don't understand. We want quick explanations, as the world is now, even more so. Why did this happen to me? Why did this person leave? Why didn't that door open? Why did it have to be so difficult for me? And no, watchman, there are no immediate answers. But there is immediate presence. Really, the "why" is irrelevant. The "why" is irrelevant, watchman, when we have to concentrate on the "for what." Why did this happen to me? Irrelevant. For what did this happen to me? To learn, to mature, to strengthen you, to make you dependent on God, etc. In Romans chapter 8, verse 28, it says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him." Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. And we know that God makes all things work for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose for them. Look how it says here, "And we know that God makes all things," put "all" in capital letters, bold, underline it, "all things work for the good of those who love him." The Lord is not telling us that some things work for good or if you act well, it will work for good. No, no, no. The Lord says, "All, all things work for the good of those who love him." Very important, of those who love him and are called according to his purpose for them. Amen. How beautiful, because with this I can feel more relieved because I know that the Lord will make everything work for my good and that I know that he has a purpose in my life and each of my obstacles, let's say, are also purposes for me. Don't get confused, watchman. Don't let your thoughts be clouded, your feelings. Tomorrow it will make sense. Just trust and remain firm in faith. The Lord does not demand perfection from you to embrace you, watchman. That is so beautiful and important to accept as well, because there are people who distance themselves when they are not well, because they feel shame, they feel fear, they feel that they are judged and they say, "Well, when I get better, I'll look for God. When I heal, I'll return, when I stop this, I'll approach him." But it's not like that. Look for him in your depression. Look for him in your anxiety, look for him in your sadness, look for him with your ego. Look for him in your humanity, watchman. Approach him broken, tired, confused, in tears. In Psalms 34, Psalms chapter 34, verse 18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, because you are close to every person who has a broken heart, to every person who is sad, to every person who is distressed. Thank you, Lord, because you rescue those crushed spirits, those people who can't take it anymore, who are at their limit, Lord. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord, because you renew us, Lord. You renew our spirit, Lord. Thank you, thank you, Lord. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Holy Father. Watchman, many times we want to be strong. We want to be strong all the time. We want to fight with the world. We want to be everything, but there are also days when that strong woman gets tired. There are days when the person who encourages another needs encouragement. There are days when the one who solves everything needs to rest. There are days when the person who always supports needs to be supported, for God to support her. And if you feel like this today, Watchman, I want to tell you that you are not weak. I want to tell you that you are human and that God loves to encounter real people, transparent with him, not with masks, because in the end the Lord knows you completely. The Lord knows that longing of your heart. The Lord knows your sadness. The Lord knows what you are going through. So it is superfluous to say, "Well, Lord, here I come. But well, I know I can handle what I'm going through." No, no, no. Give it to the Lord. With him you don't have to pretend. With him you don't have to act, nor pretend to be strong, nor happy. Be vulnerable with the Lord. Give him your burden, your anguish, your depression, your difficulty, your illness, your worries. Give them to the Lord so that you can rest in him, repose in him, recharge in him. Watchman, how important it is to be real, honest, transparent with God. Because remember that he knows you, watchman. He knows when you are lying to him. He knows when you are not being real. Give him your ego. Give him everything, everything so that he can work with it. But if we don't give it to him, how can he work? Holy Father, touch right now the person who is watching this and feels at their limit, Lord, this early morning, Lord, I want you to embrace the one who doesn't know how to explain what they feel, Lord Jesus. May you heal that woman who has cried in silence, Lord, may you strengthen that person who carries too much, Lord, this early morning, Lord, I ask that you break all anxiety, all depression, all anguish, Lord, all exhaustion. May it be you, Lord, restoring hope to the one who thought of giving up, Lord. May you remind each person who is listening to this transmission, Lord, that they are not alone, that you are with that person, accompanying them in their process, Lord, this early morning, Lord, we declare that you are here with each one of us, Lord, that we are not alone, Lord. We will not break because that anguish, pain, difficulty, process does not define us, Father, that valley is not our destiny. We don't arrive there to stay, we arrive there to be transformed, to be strengthened, to give everything to you, Lord, because we know that you sustain us, that you make us stronger, and that the pain we are going through today, Lord, you will turn into strength tomorrow. That you will use us, Lord, to help other women in the process we are also going through, Lord. That we will meet people, Lord, in that process so that they may know you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Holy Father. Thank you, Eternal God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for your salvation, for your companionship, for your sacrifice, for your strength, Lord. Thank you. This early morning, Watchman, I want to tell you that if you have distanced yourself from God, I invite you to return today. I invite you, Watchman, let it not be tomorrow, let it not be for later, that today you surrender your life to God. If you are tired of carrying alone, if you are tired of the processes, if you are tired, distressed, depressed, sick, stressed, you just need to return to God. If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus, I want you to repeat with me. Lord Jesus, I give you my heart. Forgive my sins, heal my soul, enter my life, walk with me. From today I am yours. Amen. This early morning, Watchman, we rebuke all deep sadness, all mental oppression, all thoughts of surrender, all constant anxiety, all fear of the future, all lies of abandonment, and we declare peace in the name of Jesus. This early morning we pray for coverage for our home, for our children, for our marriage, for our health, for our minds, and for our purpose, that no weapon forged against us will prosper. We lift up before you, Lord, each watchman. Cover them with your precious blood, Jesus. Guard their homes, their minds, their children, their marriages, their callings. Lord, put a hedge around them, Father, so that no attack from the enemy can prosper. Strengthen each woman who intercedes in secret and who is rewarded. Intercede, Lord, and reward her publicly. Father, you know each person, Lord. You know each burden. You know that which we cannot even say out loud, Lord, because our voice breaks. You saw each tear, Lord. And that is why we present before you, Father, each life, each process, each pain. Lord Jesus, cover them, Lord, each of the watchmen with your presence. Surround them with angels, Lord, so that you may guard their minds, their hearts, their homes, Lord. May every attack be canceled, Father, and may every strategy of the enemy be dismantled, Holy Father. This early morning, Lord, I want to ask you specifically for Mary, Lord. We pray for Mary, Holy Father. We declare coverage, a hedge, divine protection over her womb, Jesus. May it be you, Lord, breaking all spiritual, emotional, or physical opposition related to her motherhood, Lord. May it be you, Lord, blessing her future, her future children, her generation, Father, may everything be perfect and according to your will, Lord. May it be you, Lord, breaking all opposition, all hindrance, all spiritual limitation, Lord. We declare life, promise, and fulfillment, Father. We declare that her future children are in your hands and that what you promised, you will fulfill. Lord, we also present Roy to you, Lord. We lift up Roy before you, Holy Father, so that you may give him emotional, spiritual strength in his work, in every area of his life, Lord. May it be you breaking all opposition, all exhaustion, all closed doors that do not come from you, Lord. May you fulfill your purpose in him, Lord. May you affirm his steps and give him clear direction, Lord. May you remove all mental weight, Lord, may you affirm his identity in you, Holy Father, may you declare that your purpose is fulfilled in him, without delay and without interruption. Holy Father, we also want to ask you, Lord, for Carmen. We present her to you, Lord, that you may bring physical, spiritual, emotional health, Lord, that you may strengthen her body, that you may renew her mind, that you may fill her heart with peace, Father, that you may remove every burden, all exhaustion, all worry, and that you may breathe new life upon her, Father. Touch Carmen right now, Lord. Heal her, Father. Heal her body, heal her mind, heal her heart. Renew her strength, Lord, and lift her up where she has felt weak. Father, we pray, Holy Father, for the laughter of Nicaulis and Carmen, Lord, of Marina, of Diana, of Maria. Father, may you open the right, favorable, and supernatural doors, Lord. May it be you, Father, removing all legal, administrative, or unexpected obstacles, Lord. May you bring grace before all authorities, Father. May you allow everything to go in order and on time, Lord. We open that legal path, Lord. We declare favor, grace, and open doors for these visas, Lord. May you remove all obstacles, may you align all documents, and may you move the necessary hearts, Lord. That which seems difficult, Lord, you make it possible, Eternal Father. This early morning, Lord, we lift up this friend before you, may you put coverage, spiritual protection around his life, Father, may you break chains, delays, oppressions, and everything that needs breaking, Lord. May you bring freedom, restoration, direction, advancement, Lord, in every area of his life, Father. You know his name, Lord. And for that very reason, Lord, we declare that you break all opposition in his life, all invisible chains, all cycles that do not come from you. We declare coverage, spiritual protection, and total protection over his life. Father, we present before you, Lord, the conference of the chosen ones. May it be you, Lord, bringing total alignment with your will, clear direction, Father, strategy, provision, grace, Lord, so that it may be you, Lord, uniting the team, each of the watchmen, Lord. May it be you opening the right doors and closing all wrong doors, Father. May it not be just another event, but a divine appointment where many lives are touched. Most Holy Father, may it be you, Lord, aligning every detail, may it be you guiding every decision, and may it be you confirming every step, Lord. May this be a real encounter with you, Father. May it be you backing every detail, Lord, and may everything be in your perfect will, Lord. That is the most important thing. We present everything in the powerful name of Jesus, because we know that you listen, Lord. We believe in you, that you answer and work even where we cannot see you, Lord. For every person who is watching this, Lord, who has felt before you, who has felt far from you. That person who has never had a relationship with you, Lord, touch their heart, Father. Break all pride, Lord, all fear, all doubt, Holy Father. Draw every life to yourself, Lord, this early morning. Thank you, Lord, because we are not alone, because you are also with us. We declare that all that began in brokenness will end in victory. In the powerful name of Jesus. Amen. And amen. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for one more early morning, watchman. What a beautiful word the Lord has given us this early morning. It ministers to all of us, definitely. And I give thanks to God for this early morning, for allowing us to take refuge in him. I definitely feel full of his spirit, full of his love, at peace, calm, and confident that he is the one who supports, transforms, restores, and provides, watchman. I hope you can continue connecting. I invite you to connect every early morning at 3 AM. We have a special word for you, and you can also find us on our Instagram and TikTok as Atalayas Global 7. Every day we have content that edifies. We want to pray for you. You can leave your prayer requests here in the YouTube chat, and we will gladly pray for you, watchman. Be very well. Happy and blessed Thursday. M.
