Amen. Alright, for those who don't know, you are new and don't know what we are celebrating today. Pentecost is one of the feasts that the word of God teaches, which we are not obligated to observe, but we celebrate it. Just as we celebrate Easter, we celebrate Pentecost. And the purpose of Pentecost, the word Pentecost is very simple. The word in Hebrew means "Feast of Harvest," and all that God is speaking of is a great harvest of souls that is coming upon the face of the earth, one we have never seen before. We see the, the, what Pentecost is, also the order of Pentecost, so you can see a little bit of what the order, the order of Pentecost is. And two thousand years ago, according to the calendar, 2023 years ago, supposedly the Holy Spirit arrived. But if we go not by the Roman calendar, but by the calendar of the feast, we are approximately in 1987. And this feast lasts about 2000 years. That is to say, when the feast ends, the next one comes. But when the feast ends, we are about to enter the feast of tabernacles. And practically, we only have a very few years left on earth: 13, 15, 17, 18 years, I think that's a lot. If you are going to do something for God, do it now because we have very little time left on earth. May King Jesus take us all in the rapture, may no one be left here. That is the order of Pentecost. When the Spirit of God was poured out about two thousand years ago, what is called the new birth of the Spirit happens in us. That is the first part. The second is being filled with the Spirit. The third is the baptism with the Holy Spirit. This is that we are baptized with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. The outpouring of the Spirit, it is in gushes, the outpouring of the Spirit is in gushes, bubbles, whatever you want to call it, where it is not for one person. The outpouring is something explosive, and that is what we are seeing in some parts of the world, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And the last is the overflowing of the Spirit, that your cup be overflowing. If we see that, that is the order of Pentecost. I just wanted to give you a little bit about this feast that we celebrate. We celebrate that the Spirit of God arrived and that now you have been filled with the Spirit and empowered to preach the gospel. Do you say amen to that word? I want to speak to you this morning. The Spirit of God spoke to me a while ago, not now, a while ago, and told me, "I want to speak to you about the seven keys, how keys, not locks, keys, on how to remain on fire for Jesus." Let's see how many of you are interested in knowing that. The how to remain on fire for Jesus, seven keys. In a moment, I will share them with you. I don't know if I will get to touch on them, but at least give you an introduction to the Holy Spirit, the word, the presence, consistent prayer, high worship, it's the same, worship as high worship, dying to self, and giving. Those are keys that I have lived in my life that are so important for keeping the fire of God burning, that the little flame comes out of your head. The Bible says that on the day of Pentecost, the Spirit of God came, and flames of fire came out of their heads. Tell the person next to you, "Little flames from your head." Amen. As you know, in the last three years, the people, the people, the believers have really gone through many things, many situations, and for many reasons. I have seen it in leadership, I have seen it in the church, I have seen it in Christians everywhere. They have lost their first love. And Christ refers to this in the book of Revelation, chapter two, verse four. He refers to this and says, "I have something against you, church," he says to the church, to one of the churches in Revelation. "But I have this against you, that you have left your first love." Then, at the end of verse five, he says, "Therefore, repent." So, losing your first love is a sin, because if it weren't, he wouldn't tell you to repent, but rather that you haven't sinned. And he says, "I have something, that you have left your first love." And how do we describe that first love? That first love, we describe it when people, when you remember, you used to talk to everyone about Jesus. You always wanted to be in church. You came in the morning, the prayer services in the evening, you were sowing, you talked about Christ to the dog at home. It was a passion for Jesus, it was a fire for Jesus. You didn't care about sacrificing, you didn't care. And this, one time, a person told me, they told one of the believers, "Wait a few months, I want to see if you don't lose it." So, the church has pre-programmed people's minds to lose their passion, to lose the fire. So, it is God's will that we remain on fire for Jesus. That is His will. Can you say amen? We have been pre-programmed so that that flame goes out. It won't happen to you. That enthusiasm you have, it will pass soon. That is not enthusiasm, that is the power and the fire of the Spirit. The Lord promised us in Matthew chapter three, verses seventeen to eighteen, and He promised us this fire. And for certain reasons, it was lost. Matthew chapter three, verses seventeen and eighteen. And a voice from heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." I tell you now, Matthew, I think it is, and Jesus Christ promises not only to give us power, but also promises that fire. Look what it says there. [Music] Look what it says there. "Indeed, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." The Spirit, the baptism of the Spirit is what is called the baptism of power. But it says "and fire." In other words, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the dynamite, but to dynamite it, you need the fire. We need to explode. Amen. That is to say, it says you can have the dynamite, but you don't have the fuse lit. You have to light it with the fire. For many reasons: distractions, deceptions, lies, bad testimony, discouragement, disappointments, illnesses, attacks on health, children, and for many reasons, people, because of COVID, many people grew cold, they grew cold, and they reached a point where they lost the fire of the Spirit. Practically now, it's a ritual to come to church. It's like, "How nice, it's good to go to church," but there is no desire, no passion, no fire. To pray, to speak to souls about Christ, the fire is no longer there. Something happened. And I repeat the same thing that happened to Timothy. In Timothy, chapter one, verse six, we see what happened to Timothy. Timothy was a very young minister, he was about thirty-eight, forty-two years old. And it turns out that Timothy's youth was disdained, they didn't want him, he had a lot of rejection. He had just been given the church of Ephesus, which was the most mature church in the New Testament, and it had just been given to him to pastor. So, he feels like, and he had a problem with fear. And he says, that's why Paul speaks to him and tells him this. "Look at this: Therefore, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands." I want you to see this first. That word "fan into flame" is the word "anazoporeo," which is composed of three words. "Ana" means to do it again, anew. And the word "poeo" means fire. And the word "zo" means alive. What it is saying is, God tells Paul tells Timothy, "Do whatever you have to do to reignite the fire of the gift." "Do whatever you have to do for the fire of the gift of God to be rekindled in you." So, why had Timothy lost that fire? So, many problems, many distractions, many things, many situations that caused him to grow cold. So, the flame went out. He needed to add gasoline, add fuel to that fire he had. And it's interesting. Look what it says: "I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God." It doesn't say, "Go to the pastor to rekindle it." It says, "You rekindle it. You are responsible for rekindling the fire of the gift." If Christianity is becoming a boring religion, it means you have lost the fire, because it should be a joy, it should be a happiness, it should be a passion. How many say amen? Prayer cannot be boring. It's the same with services. So, and ourselves. That's why he tells him, "You have the gift and you lost that fire you had from the gift. Now I remind you to do whatever you have to do, but rekindle it. Rekindle that fire that is in you." We are here in the church. As a result, there are many people who say, "But I can continue as I am, a normal Christian." But look what a Christianity without the fire of the Spirit will produce. It is a Christianity without the supernatural. It is a casual Christianity. It is a lukewarm Christianity. It is a Christianity that doesn't like to offend anyone. It is a Christianity that has compromised its principles. Every time I see a person who has lost the fire of the Spirit, there is a problem. That person has compromised the truth at some point. So, we become a casual Christianity, and in this very casual, very light, very light Christianity, the passion is gone. It's more like a person who has lost that passion, the fire of the Spirit. Someone who is truly on fire is offensive. They already see him as someone like, but there doesn't have to be so much craziness to do this, he's too fanatical. But that same person who criticizes someone who is on fire for Christ is shouting there that the Miami Heat should win. You saw? They are shouting for the soccer game, why are they shouting? Because their thing is the natural part. So, they have lost that fire of the Spirit. One day they had it, they lost it, and they become offensive. Today, because of the spirit of this age, the spirit of the world, when it sees a person on fire for the Lord, the first thing it says is "fanatic, fanatic." "There doesn't have to be so much prayer." It's more, nowadays there are preachers who preach against fasting, who preach against prayer, who preach, they call it religiosity. But they are looking for that fire of the Spirit that they don't have. They look for it in alcohol, they look for it in wine, because somewhere you have to rejoice. But do not rejoice with wine, for there is dissoluteness. Rejoice with the power of the Spirit. Did you hear me? When I see all these people, I remember that I was ministering once in Venezuela, there were twelve thousand young people, and it was that day, and the fire of the Spirit fell. But when we talk about fire, it was a tangible fire, to such an extent that the young men's hands looked red, their faces were red from the fire they had, they trembled, they shouted. There was a second floor, and they threw themselves from the second floor to be prayed for at the altar. And it reached a point where when they spoke, smoke came out of their mouths. And not just one, all of them left with such great fire, and they went to visit three hospitals, and they emptied the three hospitals of sick people. If there is a Venezuelan here who can tell me that they were there, that they went there, that it was impressive. So, we are talking about something very strong. That's why today, when you say to people, and they always use that, "No, no, that's too religious, that's too much religiosity." Being passionate about Jesus is no longer something that people desire. And it's something because they lost it, they lost it. So, they see it as fanaticism, they see it as offensive. If you see a person, now one of my pastors dancing and shouting and doing those things, they've lost something in their head, because we are no longer accustomed to it. That fire, that passion for people, for souls, for encouraging them, etc., etc., has been lost. So, there are three requirements with this in mind. So, we need to relearn that fire. We need to rekindle that fire. We need to learn it again. We need the flame again. Say amen to that word. I want you to see the three requirements that are needed for the fire to fall. In the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, these are the three requirements that God required for God's fire to fall. And the first is the altar. Shout, everyone, "Altar!" Say it, please. I want to return that power, that fire, that desire to seek God. The first thing you need is to have an altar. And look what it says, please, in the book of Isaiah, chapter fifty-six, verse seven. We have, before that fire falls on us, we have to restore the altar. There are people who don't have an altar at home, because today preachers tell you, "If you have an altar, you are ridiculous." But that's not what the Bible says. "I will bring them to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar." What does it say? On my altar. In other words, until the altar is restored, the fire will not fall. So, there are many people, many believers, who want that back, to be reignited for God, but there is really no altar. So, I want you to see what the altar is in the Bible. And for that, I want you to go, please, into the Bible, and let's go to what an altar is. For you, for a normal Christian, a person who says, "Well, I don't have an altar." You don't have to put a big altar like you've made for Santa Barbara. But there is an altar. The altar. First, can you put it up, please? The altar. That place where man and God meet. The place where it is, there is the altar. It is a place where God and man meet. If there is no altar, there is no place for man and God to meet. Where do we call the souls that are going to be saved? To the altar, please help me. Where? To the altar. Because this place here is a physical place, a platform. For a carnal person, it's a platform. Not for God. For God, it is the place where the fire of God falls. Two, the altar is a place of sacrifice. What sacrifice do we bring here? We don't bring oxen, we don't bring chickens. The altar is a place to offer God worship, prayer, praise. They are all here. Spiritual sacrifices. Number three, the altar is a place of worship. Four, the place is a place of prayer. It is when people in the Old Testament had problems, they ran and grabbed the horns of the altar because they knew it was a safe place, it was with God. If man met there. And for another, the altar is a place of separation. So, the days are coming when the fire of God will draw the division between the false and the true. So, there is a separation. We know that the altar is a place of prayer. So, a church without an altar is a warehouse. A church without an altar, because the altar is the place for us, for any normal, ordinary person. It's a platform. And it says, "Don't be foolish, no, look at the Bible, look at the Bible." So, when we see there, there is no place where man gathers, there is no place for sacrifice. And there are people attacking the altar, because many people have used the altar to get money. Many people have taken it out. But that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a biblical truth. Tell me, in the church, there. So, I want you to go, please, to the book of First. Let's go to the first, the second, first. There is an altar where there is no daily prayer altar, where there is no place where you unite with God. Christ called it the inner chamber. Abraham called it the most holy place. There in Moses, etc. So, where there is no altar. So, we are called to restore that altar. There is no place where you pray, there is no place where you worship, there is no place where you sow all your spiritual sacrifices. There must be an altar. Shout, church, "Altar!" Second, there must be sacrifice. And in that sacrifice, I want you to see this, please. The sacrifice that is the sacrifice for a normal Christian is simply an act of voluntary worship. It is an act of voluntary worship with the purpose of drawing near to God. I will repeat it. An act when you offer a sacrifice to God, you give an offering, you pray, you worship, you dance, some sacrifice that you give to God. The first thing that will happen to your ear is that it is a sacrifice. Something that costs you. A sacrifice is not a sacrifice if it doesn't cost you. First Chronicles twenty-four, twenty-four, I think it is, and it says, "I will not give anything," said David, "if it costs me nothing, I will not give anything to God that does not cost me." And he said this. Then David bought the fifty, and said, "This is because I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing, that cost me nothing." Listen to this, everyone, please. What is it telling me with that? What it is telling me is the following: Many people say, "Well, I will give a sacrifice." Christ was telling the blind man, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam." "Go there." I asked the Lord, "Lord, but you could have told him, 'Be healed right there.'" And the Lord told me, "I always asked them to do something that cost them something." Give it your all for Jesus. That is, if it doesn't cost you anything, it's not a sacrifice for God. And sacrifice is a voluntary act that you give to God and that costs you something. So, there is no fire without a sacrifice. And I have used the example this morning. One of our daughters here comes from and drives almost three hours, two hours, and has been coming every Sunday to services for six years. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice. Something costs you. It costs you gasoline, it costs you time. So, God never sends His fire, His power, where there is no sacrifice. At least say amen, you all. That is, God says, "Give me something. Sacrifice something. Sacrifice time. Sacrifice something." And he says, "I do not sell fire where there is no altar, and where there is no sacrifice." That is, God is looking for someone. And someone says, "But the Bible says, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.'" I understand what you are saying. But what does Hebrews chapter fifteen, verse fifteen say? "Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God." Did you understand me? Did you understand me? That is, "Let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God." That is, God wants to see that you offer sacrifice. God wants you to offer sacrifice. Today, this generation, the word "sacrifice" is a bad word. They don't want to make a sacrifice. That's why you see them so casual, and the fire is gone. The fire is lost. Where there is no sacrifice, there is no fire. The sacrifices keep the fire burning, the spiritual sacrifices that you make, because our God is a consuming fire. That was not the verse, but I want you to see the following, and this, this is important. Say, everyone, "Sacrifice." For what? That fire of God, to keep your life, God, your Christian life. This is not a religion, ladies and gentlemen. This is a daily relationship with God of joy, of peace, of happiness, of blessing. This is not a ritual. This is not a ritual to come to church, to praise God, to give offerings and tithes. No, ladies and gentlemen, it is more than that. It is abundant life, peace, it is joy. We have to put fire back into prayer, into souls, be passionate about prayer, passionate about God, seeking God. "Let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God." Are you all here? I, listen to this. The sacrifice, the fire always falls on the sacrifice. The sacrifice does not come by faith. It comes by fire. It does not come by faith, but by sacrifice. Love is the motivation to sacrifice. You will never sacrifice anything for your family if you don't love them. You will never sacrifice anything for God if you don't love God. Love is what leads you to sacrifice. Did you all hear me? Did you all hear me? I, God says, "I want, I want an altar. I want a place where I can pour out my blessings. I want an altar where I can pour out healing, miracles, blessings upon your life." Are you all here? The question is, and three, and there, I want you to put it there, please. Yes, I want you to see the three. The third thing says, "Have an altar." Are you going to return? Are you going to stay in the fire you had in the past, or are you going to go and reignite yourself for that? And look what it says there. What is the third? Fuel. I want you to put it there, please. I want you to see this. Fuel. Say, everyone, "Fuel." What would be the gasoline? If it's a very simple term, gasoline. Say, everyone, "Gasoline." Genesis chapter twenty-two, verse seven. What is the fuel for that fire to be burning? Or what is the gasoline? A person. The rest don't know what it is. Firewood. They have never seen firewood. They come from the city of Cuba, from Colombia, they don't know what firewood is. Okay. What is it? Give it to me, please. What is it? Raise your hand. What is firewood? Firewood. You have to add firewood. You have to add firewood. Firewood represents your humanity, your humanity that must be burning on that altar, always strong. There is firewood that is burning. The moment you remove that firewood, the fire goes out. You stopped sacrificing, you stopped praying, you stopped seeking, you stopped giving, you stopped worshipping God, and the fire goes out. You remove the fuel, and the fire is over. And that firewood is what keeps it burning. It is what keeps it burning. What is the firewood? Look what Genesis 22:7 says. Look at this powerful verse. Look what it says. Genesis. Let's all read it. "Then Abraham said to his father, 'Father,' and he said, 'Here I am, my son.' And he said, 'Behold, the fire!'" Shout it, please. "Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" [Music] What is the point? Firewood, lamb, sacrifice, fuel, fuel, sacrifice, altar. If you have these three components, your house will burn with fire. Your life will burn with fire. Your life will burn with fire. Is there anyone here who wants to burn for Christ? Come back. Come back again. Come back to church. It is a joy to come to church. It is a happiness to praise God. It is a joy. There is firewood. And God says, God tells you, "Ah, there are many who have firewood, but they don't have sacrifice. There are some who have sacrifices, but they don't have an altar." God says, "I want an altar, I want firewood, I want fuel. Give me, and I will unleash fire, fire, fire, fire, fire that will reignite your life, that Christianity is not a religion, it is a fiery relationship every day." [Music] Give it strongly to the Lord. Wow. [Applause] It says Romans 12:1. Timothy, I am almost finished. Timothy, rekindle that fire. You lost it. It has become a job. It has become a ritual. It has become something mechanical. The passion is gone. And when that happens, take firewood, put a sacrifice, and run to the altar. Is there anyone here who will grab the horns of the altar? So, brothers, I urge you by the mercies of God. How is it possible that this Christianity that is preached today forbids people to make sacrifices? A weak Christianity that doesn't want to ask for commitment because they are afraid people will leave. Who will leave? Jesus Christ asked for commitment. Jesus Christ asked. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a book of sacrifice. It is a book of sacrifice. There is something you have to go the extra mile. You have to seek the extra mile. Lord, if I prayed for an hour, I will pray for an hour and a half. If I evangelized one, tomorrow I will evangelize two hundred. [Music] Ah, don't lose that gasoline. Come back again to be ignited for Christ. And it says, "Present your bodies as a living sacrifice." How? Present your bodies as a living sacrifice. The extra mile. Let's walk the extra mile. Make a sacrifice. I will make a sacrifice. It doesn't matter how much I have to drive. It doesn't matter how much I have to give to God. It doesn't matter. I want the fire of God to fall on you. Did you hear me? And we see there, and listen to this, and when we are there, I want you to see, please, what are those keys? Three things for that fire to be continuous. The base. Giving. If the fire comes and there is nowhere for it to fall, if the power, the blessing comes, the blessing will fall on the altar first, before it falls on your life. The firewood and the sacrifice. This week, God will ask you for a sacrifice. This week, God will ask you to do something. Did you hear me? I was ready. Thank you, son. I was ready to make a sacrifice. God will ask you to do something. Do what you couldn't do. Because I tell people, "Do what you couldn't do." Because God tells me, "Tell them, it costs them something." At least bend down. Because there are people who want, this generation is accustomed to it. Listen to me. The crowds always want everything for free. But you are not the crowd. You are a disciple of Christ. Give it more strongly. Ah, not even that. I will repeat it again. The crowds want everything for free. And I can tell you, salvation is not free. Christ died on the cross for you, for me. Make a sacrifice for Him. If you have to drive, if you have to do it, if you have to give, if you have to praise, if you have to pray, if you have to fast, but do something for Christ. Let's return to the altar. Let's return to the fire. Touch the person next to you. Tell them, "Fire." I have eight minutes. I will finish with this. Seven keys. I want to talk to you about the first one, and I will finish the rest tonight. The Holy Spirit. Say, everyone, "The Holy Spirit." Listen to this, please. Say, everyone, "The Holy Spirit." [Music] The Holy Spirit not only brings the fire, but He is fire. Jesus said the Holy Spirit will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. It is the dynamite that ignites the power of God in us. Luke chapter twelve, verse forty-nine. And someone says, "But Christ came to preach something nice, not so offensive, Apostle." No, no. People who tell me, "I didn't want to come to your church because you shout a lot." Well, tell that to Jesus. Let's all read it. One, two, three. "Go, go, go, go." It seems you have arthritis over there. Okay. What did Jesus come to do? [Music] "Go!" One, two, three. "Go!" [Music] "I came to cast fire on the earth." And look what Jesus says. And I want you, one, two, three. "Go!" "I came to cast fire on the earth." And I want it to be ignited. Without the fire that dries, without the fire you die. Without the fire that extinguishes, without the fire you become a non-committed Christian. Without the fire, God says, "I want you to be ignited. I want that fire to fall. Now, I want you to pray again. You didn't pray before. I want you to testify about Christ again. Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire." I want that fire to fall again. Fire. Right now, I'll give you an opportunity. In other words, look at me, everyone. Welcome to the society that burns. [Applause] [Music] Question. I want you to see me. You have finished. I want you to see how the Holy Spirit can be fuel for our spiritual life. And it's not comparable. He is a person. He is not a wind. He moves like the wind. He washes like water, but He is not water. He represents the dove, but He is not a dove. He is a person. The Spirit of God, from Genesis 1:2, the Bible says, "And the Spirit of God was moving." The Spirit of God was moving. Genesis 1:2. The Spirit of God was moving. Listen to this. What is the problem we have today in the church and in our personal lives? That we don't allow Him to move. We have extinguished Him. First Thessalonians 5:19 says, "Do not quench the Spirit." We can extinguish that fire. He wants to move. He wants to move. It is His desire to move. But for that, He never moves where He is not given a place. Ninety-five percent of churches in America have no place for the Holy Spirit on Sunday morning. There is no place for Him. Therefore, He is extinguished. There is no fire, no power. The supernatural activity of the Spirit, which is what brings it, does not exist in the church. That's why there are no miracles. That's why there are no healings, because the Spirit has not been given a place. And it says, "And do not quench the Spirit." To quench means to extinguish. Do not extinguish. Do not quench the Holy Spirit. I will give you an example. How many of you have had a time of prayer, and you are there, touching God, you are in the very presence of God, and suddenly a call or a text comes in, and you answer it? Raise your hand, those who have never had it happen. You always answer the phone. Raise your hand. And then you wanted to return, but it was not the same. You extinguished it. There is a pastor who had four services in his church. I want you to hear me. Four services. He came to ask me for advice. "How do I, Apostle, so that..." Because I have four services, and I have to do it quickly. But you were talking about giving place to the Spirit. And I told him, "Give place to the Spirit. Give Him time." And he says that one day, the first service was prolonged so much, and the Lord was doing miracles, deliverances, people were touched, joy fell on the people. And he says, "And I got up on the pulpit and ended the service." He extinguished it. And he says, the next Sunday, the atmosphere was dry, because he himself extinguished it, he grieved Him. And many times in our personal lives, many times in prayer, many times He wants to guide us to certain things, and we don't give way. The Spirit of God will never impose on you. He is a gentleman, and you have to yield to Him. There are people who have never had a level of communion with God. Are you all here? When we talk about the Spirit of God, He is blowing. When the Spirit of God moves, power and fire are unleashed. Wherever the Spirit of God moves, then the oil, the fuel that adds fire to our lives, when the Spirit of God moves. And today, this morning, He wants to move in your life. The Holy Spirit is as crucial, absolutely crucial, as a form of fuel for us. The church can do nothing without the Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is what keeps the church burning. And the Bible shows us that the Spirit of God, when He moves, unleashes power, unleashes miracles, provision, healing. That's why it says, "Do not extinguish Him, do not reject Him." I want you to raise your hand. Here today, He is a person. The Bible says that He moves like the wind, because the wind, the wind represents movement. The wind does not know where it blows from or where it is going. Therefore, the Spirit of God can be here, and many people do not know that He is moving. And I want to minister, to re-minister that fire. But those who are there, in the house, Acts chapter twenty, verse thirty-five. I want you to see this. One of the keys that I don't have time for now is the following. Acts chapter twenty, verse thirty-five says, "In all things I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the needy, by remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" How many of you enjoy seeing a face laugh when you gave them a gift? Raise your hand. When you did something for them, raise your hand. What do you enjoy more, receiving or giving? No, no, don't lie. You like receiving more. How many like to receive? Of course. Do you want me to tell you something? The Lord told me, "Not these days." There are three things, three marks that you will see in a person who has been freed from the love of money. Three things, He told me. When you identify them, you will realize that that person does not love money, that they love Me more than money. And He told me this. First, He told me, "They are free to receive." There are people who, to receive, you have to convince them, give them a sermon, because they are proud. Here at Rey Jesús, everyone likes to receive. Here, no one has rejected you. How many of you, sincerely, don't like it or feel embarrassed to receive? Raise your hand. Raise it. Don't be ashamed. That doesn't make you bad. Be free. When someone wants to bless you, because if you reject men, you will also reject God, and God has the blessing ready for you. But if you reject men, when a man wants to bless you, pray for you, minister to you, or give you a gift, whatever it is, receive it, because that is a mark that you do not love money. Two, the Lord told me, "They are free to give." Free to give. This is that you don't ask your wife for permission to give. You don't ask your brother for permission to give. You give it with joy and with happiness. How many of you, therefore, say, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." If you are free to give, but if you walk with crocodile elbows, I don't think you are still free. Tell the person next to you, "I rebuke the crocodile spirit in your eyes." Listen. Listen to this. Three. Three. When you see a person who gives freely, there are people who find it difficult to give a smile. They have a stern face. Tell the person next to you, "Smile. Give me a smile, please." At least. How many of you will have freedom to receive? Three. Three. The Lord told me, "Freedom to enjoy." Ah, you liked that more. Let's go stronger, please. How many of you have a pool at home? Here, yours. How many times have you gotten into your pool at home? Many. Enjoy it. The daughter continues. What else? How many times? Never. How many have God blessed you with a good car? Suddenly, hands went down. To the one who enjoys it, raise your hand. How many has God blessed you with a good car? How many have enjoyed it? Don't feel bad about going on vacation with your family and feeling guilty. Enjoy it. [Music] Louder. Enjoy it. Why does God guide me there? Because people who love money neither know how to receive, nor know how to give, nor enjoy what they have. But I tell you, I train you here to enjoy. Enjoy your mother-in-law. Enjoy your uncle. Enjoy your family. Enjoy your house. Enjoy your Chihuahua dog. Enjoy everything God has given you. Enjoy it. [Music] How many give a round of applause to Jesus? Enjoy the church. Enjoy the praise. Enjoy your Apostle. Enjoy your brother. Enjoy your sister. Enjoy your wife. Tell her, "My love, I enjoy you." [Music] The church is my job. To teach you the Bible correctly. Because there is so much false doctrine out there. And they will make you feel guilty. "Oh, you spent that much money on that engagement ring." Leave it, old man. Let them enjoy. Let them enjoy. How many has God blessed with a good house? Now the hands are going down, because I will ask for it. Raise your hand. How many have enjoyed it? How many enjoy it? Look there. "Lord, thank you for my house. Thank you. Before coming to Christ, I didn't have a house." How many of you enjoy food? [Applause] Raise your hand. As long as the food is good, healthy. Enjoy it. Let the juices drip from the chicken and say, "Lord, thank you, because there are people who don't even have a chicken wing, but I have food here. Thank you." I want to proclaim to you that in Christ is your provider.
