Huh? We took both of them alone. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. You who brought your Bible, open it, please, to Numbers. Numbers, chapter 13, verse 1. Thus says the word of God. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: "Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am about to give to the children of Israel. From each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, each one a prince among them." That is, Israel had 12 tribes, and God told Moses to take a prince from each tribe, that is, 12 men. And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the Lord's command, all those men who were heads of the children of Israel. Then, verse number 25, verse 25, look what happened, John. And they returned from spying out the land after how many days, Max? 40 days, the 12 spies were spying out the land, Pastor Melk. And they walked and came to Moses, who was the leader, and Aaron, Moses' brother, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, in the wilderness of Paran, in Kadesh, and they gave them news and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land. Eric, they brought bunches of grapes that one man alone was not able to carry. Incredible bunches of grapes, Pastor Melk. They brought there, verse 27. And they told him and said: "We went to the land to which you sent us, and truly it flows with milk and honey. Here is the proof. Look at this bunch of grapes. This is its fruit." There's a catch. However, the people who dwell in that land are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. And we also saw the sons of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south. Now look how many "eus" David. The Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan. Because they have the reports. Then, verse 30, there's a key here. Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said: "Surely we shall go up and possess it, for we shall surely prevail over it." So far is enough. The people had already left Egypt, had already passed through the desert, had already crossed the Red Sea, had already seen extraordinary miracles, water coming out of the rock, manna falling every day, and now they were about to enter the long-awaited promised land that God had promised to Abraham. One day God looked, Pastor Cleu, at Abraham and said: "Abram, lift your eyes." So he lifted them. Then God said, "All this land you see, I will give to your descendants." So God had made a promise that Abraham's descendants would inherit the land of Canaan. So they leave Egypt with this hope. We will inherit the promised land. So, uh, Egypt is an allusion to the world, the promised land is an allusion to heaven. This period, Thaís, Igor, that we are in now is as if we were wandering in the desert. God took us out of Egypt, right? You who live here, P12, Sirinho's little notebook, all the craziness. So, it's the Egypt phase, right? When Túlio liked samba, right, Pastor Túlio? He liked it. You just don't have the look, you have the look of a good boy, but I know what you did last summer. It's a joke, there's that movie. It's a joke. [laughter] So, uh, the Egypt phase represents slavery, David. Then God went there and took the people out with a strong hand. And they are wandering in the desert with a goal. What is the goal? Canaan. God took us out of Egypt, out of the world. And what is our goal today as Christians? The promised land. So we are here as pilgrims. That's why we are here, but we are not from here, right? Vini, I don't know who was talking about citizenship, right? I said, I have dual citizenship. He said: "Really, did you get a green card, did you swear allegiance? Do you have family in Europe?" I said: "No, I am Brazilian and a citizen of heaven." It's true, dual citizenship. >> Túlio, Túlio likes to humiliate. He's looking at me and saying: "I have three." I'm remembering Peninnah now, right, when she humiliated Hannah. But let's go. So, we are here, but we are not from here. We have a goal, the promised land, Canaan. So they are, Pastor João, imagine 430 years, Pastor Cleu, this people waiting for this promise. And now they are about to access this promise. And then Moses, as leader, said: "Eric, I need one from each tribe, a prince from each tribe, to go and scout the land." This, Pastor Lucas, you could write a book about. 12 men had the opportunity to step into the future, but only two were ready to live in it. >> Got it, Vine. 12 men went to spy out the land of Canaan. It was the future, their future. So, God gave 12 men the opportunity to visit the future, but not all of them, Pastor Aline, were ready to live in it. And in a little while, I will preach about this. And then, Eric, they went, they spent 40 days spying out the land and returned with reports. Pastor Lucas, shall we preach together today? >> Yes. what I did >> me too. >> How many spies went to spy out the land? >> 12. >> And this people is alive, ladies, how many spies went to spy out the land? >> 12. Just the men. How many spies went to spy out the land? >> 12. >> We can end the service, right? >> Yes. it's always like this, right? >> Should they deserve another chance? >> Weaker vessel, right? >> The Bible says so, doesn't it? It's me. >> Yes, you can see it in the steering wheel. >> Yes, >> it's a joke. Otherwise, they'll say I'm a sexist. Let's give the ladies another chance. >> Buddy, the lawyer didn't come today. >> How many, just the ladies? How many spies went to spy out the land? >> Lavina is also vengeful, right? She even turned on the microphone. So, 12, look, if they don't get it, I won't come back next time. They went in the same period. >> Yes. At the same time, >> at the same time >> they went to the same land. To the same land. >> But notice that they went to the same place to see the same thing, with the same climate. Some people have already gotten it. However, when they returned, the 12 reports were not the same. 10 reports were like this. Please, read verse 27 for us. And they told him and said: "We went to the land to which you sent us, and truly it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. However, the people who dwell in that land are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large." And we also saw the sons of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south, and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites dwell in the mountains. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan. So, pastor, before we get into Caleb's speech, this is the issue. The 12 went to the same land, at the same time, in the same season, the same climate. But 10 are telling Moses, there's no way. The land is occupied. The sons of Anak, the sons of giants are there. The Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites, and there are so many "eus". The question is this, my friend, how did the spies go to the same place, see the same thing, but the reports were not the same, because 10 are saying, there's no way, the land is occupied. And the reports of Joshua and Caleb are, let's go up because it will work out. >> Because one thing in life, Pastor Hick, is to have a view of things. Another thing is to have vision. >> João got proud. No, repeat it again. >> One thing is to see things. Another thing is to have a vision of what God is giving you when you look. >> View is what is in front of you. Vision is what God said about you. Did you get it? So, some people have a view, but they don't have vision. That's why we don't live by sight. >> By sight. What is sight? Sight is reality. It's what you're seeing, pastor. And is it a problem to have sight? Of course not. You need to see reality. The problem is when you only have sight. The problem is when you only see reality. If you are a natural person, a person who lives by sight, you will only be able to see what reality shows you and not what God said. >> So there are people, my friend, who only have sight and no vision. I'm going to make a connection here that I wasn't even going to make. If they don't get it, we'll both jump. Put Acts 9, please. Do you remember when Saul was going to kill the brothers of the early church? >> Acts 9:10. Put it, please. >> They say Saul was going on horseback because he was an important man, the journey was long, so an important man wouldn't travel on foot. Have you heard that phrase: "So-and-so fell off his horse"? >> Yes, I've heard it. >> Have you heard it? Look, he's going to fall off his horse. Where does that come from? From the Bible. But it's not written. It's because there's this idea that when Saul was going to persecute, there's a meme of me on a horse, remember this picture? He was going on horseback, but it's not in the Bible. But believe that he was on a horse, but it's not written. What is written is that Jesus revealed himself to him in a bright light and he fell. Now look what happened. He became blind. Cleu became blind. Then look what God did. Read the verse, please. 10. >> And in Damascus there was a certain disciple named Ananias. And the Lord said to him: "In vision, Ananias." And he replied: "Here I am, Lord." Verse 11. And the Lord said to him: "Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying." And in a vision, he saw a man named Ananias entering. >> No, no, no. But wait, wait. When Jesus appeared to Saul in a bright light, what happened to him? He became blind. But read that again. >> And in a vision, >> huh, >> and in a vision >> he what? >> Saw? >> Saw what? >> That a man named Ananias was entering. >> But you just said that Saul was blind? >> He was blind. >> But you're reading that now he had >> a vision. >> But he wasn't blind. >> Yes. >> And you're reading >> that he had a vision? No, they haven't got it yet. Didn't you just say he was blind? >> He was blind. >> But you're saying that even blind >> he had a vision. >> It means that reality doesn't have to be perfect. What you can't lose is the spirit of God within you. >> Got it, man? I got goosebumps. >> I don't live by sight, [singing][music] no. I live by faith. So God will provide. [singing] Firm, >> the worst blind person is not the one who doesn't see. The worst blind person is the one who has no vision. >> I'm saying that the man who was blind had >> a vision. Ah, >> and there are people who see, but see nothing. God. They're not getting it, my friend. If they don't get it, we're leaving. Where are your car keys? I came by carpool. Turn it on, turn it on, because if they don't get it, we're leaving. Because it's floating. Because some people seem to be in Narnia. And after the service, what was the part that God spoke to you the most? What did you learn the most from the word? You thought: >> "It was a blessing." >> It was a blessing. [laughter] Shake the hand of the person next to you and say: "Sight is one thing. >> Sight is one thing. >> Vision is another. >> Vision is another. Now, my friend, if they don't get it, I'm not coming back here. Look what happened. Saul was blind. Go back to verse 10 again. >> And there was a disciple >> and in Damascus there was a certain disciple named Ananias. >> Louder. >> And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. >> Huh? >> And he replied: "Here I am, Lord." >> Look, Ananias. God says what it is. Yes. Look what it gave, no, [laughter] no. Continue. It's Ananias. What is it? Say it. Continue. See what God said. And the Lord said to him: "Arise and go to the street called Straight and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul." >> God didn't have an ex back then. >> Yes, >> no ex, >> no >> no Google Maps. >> And God gave the address of Judas's house. Glory >> go to a street called Straight, to Judas's house. Why? Then the text continues. Look at this, John. >> For behold, he is praying. >> Wait. There's a man who was praying. >> Praying. >> Then God sent Ananias to go there. >> Exactly. >> But Ananias hadn't even left where he was, >> no. >> Then continue, see verse 10. >> And in a vision he saw, >> saw what? >> That a man named Ananias was entering. >> Wait, wait. But Ananias hadn't even left where he was. And what had Saul already seen in the vision? He got it, he got it, >> he really got it. >> Of course I got it. >> I'll say it again. Ananias hadn't even left where he was. And what had Saul already seen in the vision? >> What the spies didn't have, the future [applause] >> got it. Go, dear. The Bible says that over Joshua and Caleb in Numbers chapter 13, there was a different spirit upon them. When the Spirit of God is upon you, you see what normal people don't see. The Bible says that Hagar was crying in the middle of the desert because her son would die. But suddenly the Bible says that God opened her eyes and next to her [shout] there was a well of water and of life. Let me tell you, some people here think this is the end, and this is not our end. >> This is not my [music][singing] end. >> God is enabling you to visit the future. >> If I were in your place, I would take advantage of it. [music] The story is not over. This is not my [music] end. This is not my end. This is not my [music] end. It's not over. [music] >> Shake the hand of the person next to you and say: "Today God is enabling you >> Today God is enabling you >> to visit the future. >> To visit the future >> before it arrives. >> Before it arrives. >> If I were in your place, I would take advantage of it. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't even need to applaud. God is enabling you to access the future before everyone else. >> Did you get it, Isaiah? >> What are you seeing in your future? >> Oh, oh, oh. >> If I were in your place, what are you seeing in your future? >> Because the way you see your future defines how you will behave in the present. >> It's impossible. Do you know why you always behaved nobly, even in that church that was geographically small, back where I used to go in Chapecó? Because God had revealed my future and I believed it. >> But I would arrive at church, there wasn't even a stage, and I would say: "How is that short guy so bold? He's broke, but he seems like a millionaire." [laughter] He was already visiting the future. >> Glory to God. When we ask God for something, the Bible says that to receive it, we have to believe that we have already received it. So, when you pray, you have to believe that you are already in the future. >> He no, no, no, repeat that, not even Shakespeare said that. Say it again. >> When you ask, the Bible says you have to believe that you have already received it. The problem is that many people are asking and not believing they have received anything, because your posture is what defines your future. >> And I declare tonight that you will begin to behave like someone who has already visited the future that God has prepared. If you believe that your future, Lavina is getting it, I'm all goosebumps. If you believe that your future is a future of peace, prosperity, abundance, hallelujah, there's no reason for you to live with your head down in the present. That's why God is opening your spiritual eyes today. Hallelujah. I'm going to do a prophetic act here. Raise your right hand as high as you can. I don't know your name. I don't know what you're called. But pastor, have you ever stopped to think that in Jeremiah it is written like this: "I separated you >> before you were formed in your mother's womb. I chose you." >> Who prophesied this to Jeremiah? >> Himself. >> Hallelujah. >> It wasn't a prophet who came and said: "Jeremiah, God chose you. God separated you." Ah, do you know who the prophet was who prophesied this to him? Himself, he positioned himself in the spiritual world and became the greatest prophet of his life. John, the greatest prophet of your history is you. >> The greatest prophet of your history, Pastor Melk. It's not me, it's you. Lavine. The greatest prophet of your history is you. Vine. Do you know who the greatest prophet of your life is? It's you. That's why God is inviting you today, Igor, today is the night for you to position yourself and already visualize what God is doing in IGS in the future. Today is the night, hallelujah, Manuel, today is the night for you to position yourself and already see what God is doing in your daughter's life, in Melina's, in your wife's, in your family's. Today is the night for you to position yourself and start releasing what you believe God has prepared in the future. I'm going to count to three. And at three, I want you to jump out of your chair. You will shout your own name, your own name, and you will begin to prophesy what you believe God has already prepared in the future. At three, you will jump out of your chair, shout your name, and begin to prophesy what you believe God has already prepared in your future. Two, three. It's up to you. I will live [music] the totality that God completes. [music] what you declare will manifest. >> I will not fear. The project comes from someone who is not wrong. [music] >> Everything you declare manifests. Take the opportunity to release [music] a word over your future. >> I will live [music] the totality of the promise. The God [music] of completion will do with me at the right time. I will not fear. [music] The project comes from someone who is not wrong. The God of complete works will do with me at the right time. [shout] Great [music] things are [singing] coming and great things will happen in this place. [music] Great things, great things are coming. Great things [music] will happen in this place. Great [music] things, great [music] things are great things will happen here. [music] >> Glory to God. Glory to God. >> [music] >> The problem, the problem was never the size of the giants. >> The problem was always the size of the vision. Oh, glory to God. >> What defines where you will arrive is not the size of the challenges you face, >> but the size of the vision you have in God. Glory to God. Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. Put, please, Matthew 6:22. Read it for us, Pastor Lucas. >> The lamp of the body is the eye. >> The lamp of the body, the lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. >> Wait, wait. Read that again. >> If your eyes >> are good, >> your whole >> body will be full of light. Max, light, illumination speaks of clarity, direction, security, stability. Now continue this verse. But if your eyes are evil, your whole body will be dark. Therefore, the light that is in you is darkness. How great will that darkness be? What is Jesus saying here? That everything in life depends on the point of view. Everything in life depends on how you see life. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be light. If your eyes are good, life is lighter for you, >> you are happier. >> Faith, Caleb and Joshua, they saw that there were giants, because faith is not an annulment of reality. Faith does not give reality the power of government. >> Exactly. So when I have vision, reality does not govern my steps, but what God said. So, what I'm saying here is not to live in self-denial of reality. Oh, there is no illness, oh, there is no scarcity, oh, there is no drug, oh, there is no complexity in my family. That's not what I'm saying, because faith is not a denial of reality. Faith is not giving reality the power of government. So, look what Jesus is saying. When you have good eyes, life is lighter for you. My friend, have you noticed that the problem for many people is not the challenges they face? >> It's never the challenges they face, >> but the vision they have. The vision they have. >> Some people are in the sun, for example, here in Floripa, these days at night it looked like day, 32º at night. And I saw many people complaining: "My God, it's so hot!" Then it rained, and some people, when it's hot, they say: "I can't stand this life. What is this sun?" Then they complain, complain, complain, complain, complain. Then it rains. Just because I washed my car, it started raining. Right now it's going to rain. When it was sunny, it wasn't good, then it rained, and it's still not good. Little do they know that these words, Pastor Raik, seem innocent, but in reality, they are decrees that will define your future. You keep complaining, you keep murmuring. The person walked on foot because they were broke. Then they bought a car, and they should be how? Wow, exploded. But no, they stop at the gas station. Look at the price of fuel. Blessed one, you were walking, broke, and now you're complaining about the price of fuel. Some have such a crazy vision, look at the price of the dollar, >> they don't even buy dollars, >> they don't have any dollars. What does the dollar have to do with your life? No, I know it has an impact on the economy, but some people have never seen a dollar and are saying, look, the dollar went up [laughter] because some people see problems in everything. In everything. We, you're laughing, but you're laughing at yourself. Because the lack of vision makes life heavier. You only see, you, my friend, did you see how many "eus" they saw? Jebusites, Amorites, Canaanites. Because when you only have sight, you only see problems. Only see problems. So, maybe you want God to change your geography, thinking that the problem in your life is the place, the family, the salary. And God is saying: "I don't need to change your place, I need to change the vision you are having." >> Pastor, this is completely related to what you're saying. The Bible says they saw all these giants, but look how interesting, the text says that in our own eyes, they said, we were like grasshoppers. And in their eyes, we were also like grasshoppers. That is, they didn't ask: "Hey, Pastor Rei, how do you see me? Hey, giant, how do you see me?" They had already defined in their own vision how the enemy saw them. So, the problem wasn't what they were seeing, it was what they thought about what they were seeing. >> My friend, they were not defeated by the giants, they were defeated by the image they built of themselves. >> Exactly. >> My God. I'll repeat, they were not defeated by the giants. They were defeated by the image they built of themselves. For example, for them to see, verse number 33 for them to read. We will finish. Read verse 33. >> We also saw giants there, sons of Anak, descendants of giants, and we were in our own eyes as grasshoppers. >> Oh, oh, oh. They saw themselves, Pastor Cleu, as what? >> Grasshoppers. >> So they were not defeated by the enemies. They were not defeated by the giants. They were defeated by the image they created of themselves. [snoring] They created an image of themselves. We are grasshoppers. We are grasshoppers. Now, please, put Proverbs 23:7. Look at this, how strong it is. Proverbs 23:7. As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. >> For as he thinks in his heart, >> so he is. >> You become what you believe. You are what you imagine. If you put it in your head that you are a failure, your future will be of failure. If you put it in your head that you are defeated, your future will be of defeat. Because, look, as he imagined in his heart, as you see yourself, you are. As you see yourself, you are. So it's not about what they drew, it's not the image they built of you, it's the self-image you have of yourself. I'm not against, my friend, aesthetic procedures, but did you know that this area is growing the most nowadays? And I'm not against it. Humans have to take care of themselves, but do you realize that there is a vulnerability in human self-image? I'm not, I'm not talking against it, but have you noticed that some people have rhinoplasty, oh, I'm not beautiful yet, then they do another one, oh, I'm not beautiful, oh, I'm not beautiful. And why? Because the image they build of themselves is not a good image. So every excess reveals a lack. So, some people do a lot of things thinking, ah, when I do this, I will improve. When I do this, I will improve. But the problem is not in doing something to improve, it's in rebuilding an image of oneself. My friend, I feel this in my skin. A person can be gorgeous, a guy can be handsome, if he puts it in his head that he is ugly. >> And when a very ugly person thinks they are beautiful, >> that's why I said that [laughter] >> nobody can stop them, right, Vini? Now he's famous. >> He's famous now. How is he? Nobody can stop him. Do you understand why I said I feel this in my skin? [laughter] It's because, oh, there are so many beautiful, beautiful people, but the person has a complexed self-image. I'm ugly, I'm fat, I'm this, I'm that. And the person could be a success in life, but the distorted self-image they have of themselves doesn't let them smile. They can't even walk with their head held high. Oh, Pastor Deus. Melk >> now it's a Brad Pitt who sees himself as a Frankenstein. The guy will be down now. A Frankenstein. Ah, [shout] who goes to the mirror and thinks he's Brad Pitt. Brother, it's over. It's over. Yes, the woman might be a little plump, sometimes looking like a tied-up mattress, but if this woman puts it in her head, I'm gorgeous. >> Brother, if this woman puts it in her head, I am gorgeous. I am beautiful. And who can stop a woman who self-values herself? >> Who can stop a woman who self-values herself, who says: "I am the crown of God's creation. I am the apple of God's eye. I am special." Shake the hand of the person next to you. I don't know if you're laughing. I don't know why you're laughing. Only municipalities have limits, right? >> Huh. Huh. No, it's not, it's, pastor. This is self-help, it's not self-help, it's help from above, my friend. >> It's not denying reality, Pastor Raik. And Joshua and Caleb said the following, oh, are you going to deny reality? They said: "These enemies will be like bread for us." >> He knew he had to fight, but he knew that the God who promised was much greater than the reality they would face. >> I attended a guy with cancer, pastor, seriously, it was last week, I'm not kidding. I wasn't kidding at all. >> Glory to God. It's that the children would go to Jesus because he must have been very funny. They say the blind man went to Jesus and Jesus said: "What do you want me to do for you?" Then the blind man said: "A guide dog, Lord, that would be enough for me." You were supposed to laugh, people, but anyway. >> But talk about cancer. About cancer? >> No, I spoke to the guy in the morning, he had chemotherapy >> today? >> No, last week I spoke to him in the afternoon, he had chemotherapy in the morning. I said: "Man, that's tough, isn't it?" He said: "No, pastor, at least the therapy only lasted until morning, now in the afternoon I can work." >> Ah, I remembered something. One day a brother, a church worker, was taking me to the airport, John. Then he had a car, I don't remember which car it was, and he was so happy to me: "Ah, this is the blessing the Lord gave me." And I said: "Did you buy it?" He said: "I bought it today." Then I said, "What a blessing." Then he said: "I financed it." Then he told me the installments, the amount he was paying for the installments. Then I did the calculation in my head. I knew the FIP of the car. I said: "Wow, he got ripped off, he was fooled." No, but I didn't say it because the guy was happy, Eric. Imagine, the guy was like this: "Look at the blessing, pastor. Look at what God did in my life." He told me the interest he would pay. At that moment, I thought: "My God, Christians are really stupid." I thought, I'm serious, Christians are stupid. How did he not do the calculation? At that moment, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, this was about 8 years ago, the pastor spoke about cancer. The Holy Spirit just made me remember. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and I started crying in the car. Do you know what the Holy Spirit said? He is happy without knowing he is paying interest, but recognizing that I am the one who gives. >> Hallelujah. And you have everything and sometimes you complain. >> Ow, >> my God. >> He who is paying interest there is happier than you who have a paid-off car. >> And I started crying, I didn't tell him, I started crying, and that became a lesson. Everything is how we see it. There are people, my friend, who live in Laperle, but they don't, it's not you. I just, seriously, because it's a top condominium, otherwise, soon it will seem like I'm giving away freebies. But there are people who live in Laperle, by the beach, in Jurerê, who are not happy, don't want to get out of bed because they have no vision, only see problems, see no meaning in life. And that's why you need, if you can, put your hands on your eyes. My God, >> I want to pray now. >> My God, >> Lord, remove the scales from our eyes. >> Hallelujah. >> Vine, once I put them on, Lord, >> hallelujah, >> remove the scales from our eyes. >> Hallelujah. >> The [singing] scales. >> Open our visions. >> We want to see you. We want to see your word, your promise >> and not just the difficulties. The pastor just spoke of a man with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, but he can see the good side of life. And we want to see everything you have done. I can see the scales fell [singing] to the ground. Your [singing] light found me. >> [music] >> And now [singing] I can see you. [music] [singing] I can see you [music] once I put [music] my [singing] eyes on you, nothing else satisfies me. [shout] [music] >> Hallelujah. Once I put my eyes on you, nothing else satisfies me. >> Mel, >> the giants are a fact, Pastor João. They are a fact. They were there, but they are not the truth. Repeat with me. Facts, >> facts >> are temporary. >> Are temporary. >> The truth, >> the truth >> is eternal. >> Is eternal. >> Glory to God. >> I don't know if you got it. >> A fact is temporary. The truth is >> eternal. >> You need. Vision, David, gives me access to the eternal. >> Sight to the fact, I got goosebumps. What I need to know, distinguish, have spiritual discernment, the ability to know, Vine, what is a fact in my life. Brother, I am single. That is not a truth, it is a fact. I'm serious, it's not a truth. I don't have children, but it's not a truth. It's a fact. A fact is something temporary. Now, the truth is eternal. >> The Apostle Paul said the following: "For this light momentary tribulation produces in me a weight of glory beyond all comparison. Who will separate me from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? All day long we are being put to death for your sake. But neither death nor distress nor pain. Nothing will separate me from the love of Christ in Christ Jesus." >> A fact is what you see. Truth is what God said. Shake the hand of the person next to you and say this. A fact is what you see. A fact is what you see. >> Truth is what God said. >> Truth is what God said. >> Look here at me. Look here at me. A giant >> is a fact, not a truth. >> Got it, my friend. >> A giant is a fact. The truth is that he is already on the ground. >> Hallelujah. A closed sea is a fact. >> It is a fact. >> The truth is that God has already opened it and the people are on the other side. >> If I were in your place, I would take advantage of it. The walls of Jericho are a fact. The truth is that they have already fallen for the people to access what God promised. From today on, >> God is speaking something to me here. The fact is that in your hand there are five loaves and two small fish, and you think it's not enough. Now, the truth is that if you start putting this in Jesus' hands, he will multiply it, and there will be full baskets left for you, for your house, and for your family. And what you thought wouldn't even be enough, Jesus is saying: "You can save it, you'll have to take it home because there will be leftovers." I already have a path opened by the waters. Make many springs burst forth in the midst of the desert. Truth. There will be [music] clouds that bring showers of blessings. The God of [music] deliverance. >> My friend Lavinha. There are people here who entered crawling in the worst phase, bleeding, without hope, without the strength to want anything more. This is a fact, not a truth. The truth is that the glory of the second house will be greater than the first. [music] If I were in your place, I would take advantage of it. What you are living now, this storm, this struggle [music] is just a fact. The truth is that God will make you live double honor. Pastor Lucas, did you ask someone to stand up? >> No, I didn't. >> Did you ask someone to stand up? I asked them to stand up. [music] >> And why did the whole church stand up if no one asked? >> Because today no one will live by sight anymore, but by faith. No one will live by fact, but by truth. >> People, sit down, otherwise it will turn into a vigil. >> From today on, you will value truths more than facts. When you are faced with a dilemma, remember this sermon. >> When you are faced with the impossible, remember this sermon. When you are faced with the giants of life, illnesses, impossibilities, debts, remember this sermon. These are facts. >> It's not a truth. >> They are facts. They will pass, it's not a truth. >> Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. My friend, this could turn into a vigil. Turn into a vigil. Look at this. >> Look at the anointing of God. >> 12 spies. 10. My friend, I can't let this pass. 10 saying, there's no way. Read verse 30. >> Then Caleb silenced the people. >> Uh, read it again. >> Then Caleb silenced the people. Be quiet. Imagine silencing a fearful people. You won't say "excuse me." >> Melk is polite. I remembered you now. It's God speaking to you. >> Sometimes it's not "excuse me," otherwise life will swallow you. Sometimes you have to grab this anointing. Oh, it might seem like a joke, but there are times in life when you'll have to do this. >> Because if a Caleb doesn't position himself to inject courage, >> the people remain afraid. Pastor Lucas, Pastor Lucas, imagine if fear continued to permeate hearts. Imagine a people who needed hope to go to Canaan. Imagine them like this: "Ah, let's go. Let's go. It's not possible. Let's go, let's leave Brazil. Yes, look at the left-wing government. Let's go. Yes, everything is breaking down. Yes, imagine, because there are many people like this who keep listening, watching television. Ah, and [panting] ah, then sometimes someone has to appear with this spirit here, ó. >> Sometimes, John, this spirit has to appear in the company, in the family, in the business. Oops. I >> we will go up. >> Hallelujah. >> And we will prevail. >> Hallelujah. Because God said the land is ours. >> Hallelujah. [shout] >> Are you understanding the message? >> Shake the hand of the person next to you and say: "Be careful, >> be careful >> not to let >> not to let >> the fearful >> the fearful >> ruin your faith. Then take away my [music] that makes me say Moses in my place. [music] >> Sometimes, if you listen too much to the 10, you even become fearful. >> Sometimes, if you listen too much without vision, you even lose yours. >> That's why you can't let just anyone give their opinion on your life. You have to select who speaks into your life. >> Wait. If they have vision, I'll listen. If they don't have vision, >> get lost. >> Vine, an opportunity to increase your salary. I'm saying this at the altar, I'll increase it by 5,000 per month if he gets it right. >> I'm saying this now, no joke. Say the name of one of the 10 who didn't have vision. I'll increase it. I'm saying this at the altar. If you get one of the names of the 10 right this month, I'll take an extra R$ 5,000 per month. He >> is already earning well. >> Huh? >> He is already earning well. >> But 5,000 more >> no. 5,000 more will help. >> And he won't get it right. [laughter] >> Esa, I will, I will get it right. God will reveal it to me. >> I'm not kidding. I'm serious. >> Of the 10. >> Yes, >> there's no name. >> You're laughing, but you'll understand what I want to say. Say the name of one of the 10. I have no idea who these 10 people are. >> Neither do I. >> Now ask me, ask me. Why, pastor? >> Why, pastor? >> Because whoever has no vision has no history. >> Whoever has no vision is not remembered. Got it, Vin? Whoever has no vision, hallelujah, leaves no legacy. >> Now the names of the two who saw the truth >> worth 5,000. >> No, not that. [laughter] >> Joshua and Caleb. [applause] >> Why do we talk so much about Joshua and Caleb? >> Because whoever has vision does not go unnoticed and will not be forgotten. >> Did you get it? >> Whoever has no vision builds nothing. Whoever has no vision is not remembered. Now, whoever has vision, my friend, >> a man of God passed here. >> Ow, >> a woman of God passed here. >> Ah, may God open our eyes. >> Hallelujah. >> May God open our eyes. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. I'll see you here next Monday. >> You who are here for the first time. I want to see you on Friday. >> Ah, it's on Friday. That's right. That's right. This one has vision, huh? This one has vision. For those who are here for the first time, for the first time in the auditorium, there will be a DNA moment for you to get to know the church's vision. I'll see you here on Friday. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord lift his countenance upon you, may the Lord have mercy on you and give you peace. God bless you. >> Hallelujah. [music]
