INTRODUCTION
NKJV 1Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the spiritual milk without guile, that by it you
may grow up in health.

Spiritual milk is the basic knowledge of the word, it is to enter into the rudiments of the
gospel to know in depth what the new life in Christ is based on.
The longing for the knowledge of the word will allow Christ to begin to reveal Himself in
every life in all its facets, because until the new birth He has only shown Himself as Savior,
but He is also a healer, a deliverer, a provider, a powerful warrior, and He is many things
more, that we will only know and experience if as newborns we long for the spiritual milk
which is nothing more than the basic doctrine.He is also a healer, a liberator, a provider, a
powerful warrior, and many other things, that we will only know and experience if as
newborns we long for the spiritual milk that is nothing more than the basic doctrine, that is
why this writing is called Manual of Doctrine Basic Level.
The topics to be covered in this manual have been selected according to the basic needs
observed in the born again people with the purpose of solving in the shortest time possible
all the doubts concerning their new life in Christ.
This manual is for Basic Level, so it should be understood that there are other higher levels
of education. The revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through his apostles teaches us
that there are three levels in which we must go deeper: The Secrets, The Mysteries, and
The Rudiments, the present manual addresses the main rudiments of the Gospel, which are
those that will form the foundation of our new life in Christ, while the mysteries and secrets
will come to constitute in due course the walls and roof of that building. It is not possible to
understand the deep things of God if we do not understand the basic things.
We hope this material will be of blessing and help in your first steps in this new way of life.
Finally we want to remind you that it is very important now and always to dedicate time to
prayer, to reading and studying the Bible, and to congregate at all times, because the best
deliverance is the one that comes from praising and worshiping in unity, and listening to the
Word of God.
And remember that the only way to be prospered spiritually and materially by God is by
obeying his word, that is why we declare to be: "Prosperados Por La
Word".
The New Birth
NKJV John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one
is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.
H nearly 2000 years ago a very important man of the nation of Israel presented himself to Jesus by
night, to know him as RABI (teacher) who came from God, because of the signs that he was doing.
However, Jesus, without paying attention to the words of Nicodemus, the night visitor, tells him that
unless he is born again, he will not be able to see the kingdom of God.

I - Concepts around the New Birth

REGENERATION: This word is mentioned in:

NKJV Matthew 19:28 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, in the time of regeneration, when the
Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
NKJV Titus 3:5 He saved us, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His
mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Regeneration according to the Strong's concordance: from Greek

<1,,3824, palingenesis>.
"New Birth" (palin, "again, again"; genesis, "to be born").

II- Need to Be Born Again

A) If it is necessary to be born again, it is because something that had life before has died .

LBA Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it, for in the day that
you eat of it you shall surely die.

We know that Adam and Eve ate and unless God does not keep his word, they both died. However, we see
at Genesis 3:6-21. that after they had eaten they were still existing. This teaches us that in biblical thought
and context, death is not the same as nonexistence. Proof of this is that being dead in Genesis 3:21 we see
that they were made garments of skin for their bodies and then cast out of the garden, and this lets us see
that the meaning of death in the Bible is a separation from God. To better understand what happened, we
have to remember some things that the Bible tells us about the integral being of man. 1) Man is a tripartite
being, that is to say that three parts compose his being, these are: Spirit, Soul and Body. We see this in the
following verse
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit and

5
 soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Taking into account all of the above, we can conclude that when Adam and Eve sinned, it was their
spirit that died, that is, they ceased to have communion with God. This is evident when man, after
sinning, hides from God.

2) The death of the spirit brought about the degeneration of the soul, which in turn affected the body.
Likewise, creation was cursed by sin, which affected the environment in which Adam and Eve moved;
and produced diseases to the body, until the 930 year old Adam died physically Genesis 5:5.

B) Spiritual and physical death is transmitted to all men (Romans 15:12-19; Ephesians 2:1-5).

NKJV Colossians 2:13 While you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made
you alive together with him, having forgiven us all trespasses.
1) Spiritual death guarantees physical death and if there is no regeneration, the second death in the lake of
fire.
The Bible says that sin entered the world through one man and death through sin. This spiritual death
extended to all men because all sinned.

LBA Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
LBA Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and so
death spread to all men, because all sinned;

2) God created Adam and Eve not to die physically, yet sin brought about this curse as seen in the context
of 1 Corinthians 15:20-22. Glory to God that in Christ this curse has been abolished! That is why the
children of God only sleep in the certain hope of the resurrection. Hallelujah! NKJV 1 Corinthians 15:20
But now Christ is risen from the dead as the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 15:21 Since by man came death, by man also came the resurrection of the dead.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive.

We can conclude that the need to be born again or regenerated is because man without Christ is spiritually
dead in trespasses and sins Colossians 2:13.

III- How the New Birth Takes Place

Undoubtedly, this is a great mystery and what we are going to study next, only pretends to be a small
approach. Someday the Lord will explain this marvelous mystery to us in fullness.
For the New Birth to take place, the spirit that is dead must come to life through an encounter with the one
who is life.

LBA John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father
except through me . Let's see how this meeting takes place:

A) The Lord teaching His disciples about the work of the Holy Spirit said that He will convict of sin,
righteousness and Judgment. That is why by a touch of the Spirit repentance (change of mind, or
way of thinking) is produced in us through which we know who we are and for the first time accept
our guilt before God.
NKJV John 16:8 "When He comes, He will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment.
NKJV John 16:9 As for sin, because they do not believe in me;
NKJV John 16:10 as to righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see Me no more;
NKJV John 16:11 and as for judgment, for the prince of this world has been judged.

B) With this conviction of sin, the Holy Spirit leads to genuine repentance, in front of the word to be believed
or not.

6
PRATT John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the privilege of being made the sons of God, even
to them that believe on his name, which were begotten..., of God.

By believing in Christ we are begotten by the word. This begetting of God (of incorruptible seed), transmits
new life to us.
LBA 1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of a corruptible seed, but of one that is incorruptible, that is,
through the word of God which lives and abides.
NKJV James 1:18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be the firstfruits of
His creatures.
However, as we can see in the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:18-23), there are different soils in which
the seed of the word is sown.

1) Land next to the road

He is the one who hears the word and does not understand it. The evil one comes and snatches away the
word that was sown in his heart.
2) Land in Pedregales
He hears the word and receives it with joy, but it has no deep root but is temporary and the affliction
because of the word causes him to stumble and fall.
3) Land between thorns
They hear the word, yet the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word and it
remains unfruitful.
4) The good ground.
He who hears the word and understands it (begetting) bears fruit at 30, 60 or 100%.
The fruit produced by the word in the good soil is evidence of the new birth, which makes us new creatures
in the process of maturing until we reach the stature of the perfect man to the fullness of the Son of God.

In the new birth, our spirit that was dead before comes to life and our spirit becomes one with that of Christ, who
became for us wisdom from God, justification, and redemption; which guarantees that the work begun will be
completed until the glorification of our bodies.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 6:17 But he who is united with the Lord is one spirit.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 1:30 By him you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made for us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification, and redemption;
NKJV Romans 8:29 We know that those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image
of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
NKJV Romans 8:30 And those whom He predestined, these He also called; and those whom He called, these
He also justified; and those whom He justified, these He also glorified.

IV- Fruits of the New Birth

It is the Apostle John who writes the most about the new birth, not only in his gospel but also in his pastoral
letters; the first being the one that speaks most abundantly about the fruits of the one who has been born again.

A) He who is born again is made a son of God.

NKJV JN 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who
believe in His name,
NKJV JN 1:13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

B) We walk in Light, having communion with one another.

NKJV JN 1:7 He came as a testimony, that he might bear witness to the light, so that all might believe through
him.
NKJV 1JO 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood
of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.

C) Love for our brothers and sisters.

NKJV 1JO 1:10 But if we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

7
SSE 1JO 3:14 We know that we are passed from death unto life, in that we love the brethren. He that loveth not
his brother abideth in death.
NKJV 1JO 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love is of God. Everyone who loves is born of God and
knows God.
NKJV 1JO 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

D) No one who is born of God practices sin.

SSE 1JO 3:9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin, because the seed of God abides in him, and he cannot
sin any longer, because he is born of God.
SSE 1JO 5:18 Now we know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God keepeth
himself, and the wicked toucheth him not.

This, if not interpreted correctly, can cause confusion, since we also read:
NKJV 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if any man sin, we have
an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Does the Apostle contradict himself? NO! In reality he wants to emphasize the fact that the one who is born again
flees from sin, however, if it catches up with him, he must confess it and trust in the One who at the right hand of
the Father interposes his blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins.
We must differentiate between someone who practices sin and another person who is overtaken by sin.In the
second case we are talking about a person who although he fights against sin, and against those areas of his life
that are still being restored, suddenly succumbs and sins, and unlike the one who practices sin, this other who
was weak, his heart is filled with repentance at that very moment, and seeks forgiveness.

E) He who is born of God overcomes the world by faith in Christ.

NKJV 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the
world, even our faith.
NKJV 1 John 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

F) We Have Life
NKJV 1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has life: he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
NKJV 1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may
know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God.

G) The newborn yearns for unadulterated spiritual milk.

NKJV 1Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the spiritual milk without guile, that by it you may grow up in health:
It is important to note that the Apostle says that we should long for spiritual milk: What is that milk? the basic
doctrine of the gospel, but not just any milk, not just any doctrine, but he is clear in saying that we must look for
that which has no deceit, the milk that has not been adulterated, that has not been altered by doctrines of men,
that has not been mixed with pagan customs, that has not been converted into a heap of human precepts or laws,
the sound doctrine is that which teaches us to follow Christ faithfully, to love Him and His second coming, it
teaches us to leave behind the bad habits that we acquired in the world.The sound doctrine is that which teaches
us to follow Christ faithfully, to love Him and His second coming, it teaches us to leave behind the bad habits we
acquired in the world, it teaches us that we should no longer sin because we love God and Christ who died for us.

CONCLUSIONS
1) Because of Adam's sin, man's condition without Christ is death.
2) Spiritual death makes the new birth indispensable.
3) In the new birth our spirit comes to life and the incorruptible seed (the divine nature) is transmitted to us
by the begetting of the word.
4) The new birth guarantees the whole process of passing from death to full life.
5) Not everyone who hears the word understands it, but only he who with good ground in his heart receives
it and it bears fruit at different levels.
6) To be born again requires genuine repentance.
7) Sound doctrine is that which teaches us to love God, and not that which fills us with fear of God.

8
8) Sound doctrine is that which has not allowed itself to be plagued by worldly customs and laws.

Water Baptism

NKJV Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not
believe will be condemned.

INTRODUCTION
We are not yet fully aware of the importance of water baptism as commanded by the Lord.
Traditionally it has been taught that Baptism is an act of obedience to the Lord and although this is a truth, it is
not the whole truth because it manifests nothing more than a part of the spiritual blessing that the act of being
baptized entails. Everyone who has received Jesus as Savior must immediately seek the waters of baptism,
even if he does not know what exactly it is and what it entails, so it is "a step of obedience" we must only
comply with it, and then we can study and ask questions about baptism.

I- WHAT IS WATER BAPTISM?

It is the act by which a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ descends into the water accompanied by a disciple of
the Lord, who immerses him totally in the name of Jesus, or in the name of the Father of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit. We must clarify that these are not special formulas or word games as evidenced by the writing.
There are those who say that if one is not baptized in the name of Jesus, then one is not baptized, or that if
one is not baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, then baptism is not valid, and both
assertions are right and wrong.

NKJV John 4:1 When Jesus heard that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more
disciples than John, he said to them, "I will baptize more disciples than John.
NKJV John 4:2 (although Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples did),

NKJV Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

NKJV Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit .

NKJV Acts 8:16 For as yet the Holy Spirit had not come upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the
name of Jesus.

An example can be read in Acts 8:36-39.

II- WHAT DO WE NEED TO BE BAPTIZED?

The eunuch's question to Philip was: Here is water, what prevents me from being baptized? Philip said: If you
believe with all your heart you may well (Acts 8:36-37).
In other words, in order to be baptized, the only condition is to have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as our
only and sufficient Savior. The Lord said to his apostles: he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved

1
0
(Mark 16:16), which clearly defines that baptism is only for those who, with a simple faith, have approached
the Lord Jesus Christ to obtain their salvation.
However, prior to the step of believing, it is necessary to have experienced true repentance, which is why
Peter says: Repent and be baptized every one of you.
Based on the above, let us note that it is not necessary to receive extensive courses about what baptism is,
there are sectarian groups that do not baptize believers until they have passed complete courses about
baptism, in the most serious cases some of these courses last up to six months.

III- WHAT DOES WATER BAPTISM MEAN?

Christ died for us, was buried and rose again glorious on the third day. Going down into the water is a visible
symbol that our old and sinful life is dead.
NKJV 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, that He might bring
us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit;

Water baptism is our full identification with the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our old man
was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed.
NKJV Romans 6:6 And we know that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that we should no longer be slaves of sin ;

It is necessary to consider that just as between the crucifixion and the death of the Lord there was a lapse of
time, so also from the moment in which our old man was crucified until the moment in which we have really
died, a time will also have to pass during which the Lord will be perfecting the work that He began in us.
The burial of the believer takes place symbolically in baptism.
NKJ Romans 6:4 For we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
NKJ Colossians 2:12 You were buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through
faith in the power of God who raised Him from the dead.

And by being raised from the water, he is expressing faith in the resurrection and the conviction of a new life;
thanks to the victory of the Lord. If we were planted together with Christ in the likeness of his death, we shall
also be planted together with Christ in the likeness of his resurrection.
LBA Romans 6:5 For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall certainly be
united with Him in the likeness of His resurrection,

The Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and death has no more dominion over Him.
LBA Romans 6:9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death has no
dominion over Him.

In the same way, we should consider ourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NKJV Romans 6:11 Even so you also, reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

And to present ourselves to God alive from the dead, because sin no longer has dominion over us, since we
are no longer under the law, but under grace.
LBA Romans 6:13 neither present the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but
present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness
to God.
LBA Romans 6:14 For sin shall have no dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Summarizing the above, we can conclude that water baptism is the acceptance of the redemptive work of
Christ, and the total identification with the Lord in his death, burial and resurrection.

IV- WHY SHOULD WE BE BAPTIZED?

We must do it as an act of obedience to the Lord's redemptive will, for it is commanded by Christ Himself.
Jesus Christ instituted baptism and charged his disciples to baptize those who likewise became his disciples
(Matthew 28:19), and whoever is baptized pleases God, for he obeys his word.

1
1
The Lord told Nicodemus that whoever is not born of water and the Spirit cannot enter the kingdom of God,
that is, water baptism constitutes a very important element as a requirement for us to enjoy the wonders that
God has prepared for us in his kingdom (John 3:5).

Peter makes a comparison between the salvation from God's judgments experienced by eight people in the
flood, passing through the water, and the salvation from the bondage of sin that we have obtained through
water baptism, by means of the inner knowledge of the good we should do and the evil we should avoid (1
Peter 3:20-21). In other words, without altering its message, water baptism allows us to obtain a response of a
good conscience towards God, thanks to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

LBA 1 Peter 3:20 who were once disobedient when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the
building of the ark, in which a few, i.e., eight people, were saved through water.
NKJV 1 Peter 3:21 Baptism, which corresponds to this figure, now, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
saves you, not by removing impurities of the flesh, but as an appeal of a good conscience toward God.
V- WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL METHOD OF WATER BAPTISM?

G907 - bap-tid '-zo

Derivation of G911; to make immersion or immersed (i.e. totally wet); used only (in the New Testament) of
ablution (wine and water with which purification and washing is done) ceremonially, especially
(technically) of the ordinance of Christian Baptism.
G911 - bap '-to
A primary verb; to immerse, that is: to cover totally with a fluid; in the New Testament only in a qualified
or specific sense, i.e., literally.

According to the original Greek text, baptism must be performed by immersion in water, that is, completely
submerged in water, thus accurately representing the truth taught in Buried with Christ (Romans 6:4).
Immersed in water we are buried as a figure of our death in Christ. It is not by spraying (splashing), or getting
our heads or feet wet, the real method is submerged.

NKJV Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stop. Philip and the eunuch both went down into the
water, and he baptized him. NKJV Acts 8:39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord
caught Philip. And the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
NKJV Matthew 3:16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately He came up out of the water, and behold,
the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and descending upon
Him.
The formula of baptism is the one ordained by our Lord Jesus Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit during
the development of the church.

NKJV Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
NKJV Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
NKJV Acts 8:16 For as yet the Holy Spirit had not come upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the
name of Jesus.
NKJV Acts 8:17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

VI- WHEN SHOULD WE BE BAPTIZED?

There is no stipulated time or age in the Bible between conversion and baptism, but there are many examples
of people who were baptized immediately after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, so we believe that it should
be done immediately after believing in Christ.

NKJV Acts 2:41 So those who received His word were baptized, and about three thousand persons were
added to them on that day.

The eunuch being baptized immediately after believing (Acts 8:35-38).
The Philippian jailer and his family (Acts 16:23-33).
Paul's Healing and Baptism (Acts 9:17-18)
The Conversion and Baptism of Cornelius and his Household (Acts 10:47
48). The baptism of Lydia and her household (Acts 16:14-15).

VI- WHAT ABOUT INFANT BAPTISM?

With respect to baptizing children, it can be established that because it is a fact in which the person who is
baptized is fully identifying himself with the death and resurrection of the Lord, he must be fully aware of what
he is doing; so it is also necessary that he has certain maturity and criteria to make decisions, with which it is
understood that the decision to go down to the waters of baptism does not depend on the parents, but on the
child.

The age then, will depend on the child's reasoning capacity, this reasoning can be weighted based on the
child's awareness (not necessarily experience) of sin, repentance, the need for salvation, and the knowledge
and understanding of Baptism and how it is patented in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are not talking about deep knowledge, nor about subjecting children (or adults) to intensive courses about
baptism, but we are talking about knowing if the child is really located in the event, its meaning and its effects.

Regarding children who have been baptized with the Holy Spirit, it is necessary before proceeding to baptize
them in water, that a servant of the Lord with ministerial criteria, confirms if what the child has received has
really been of the Holy Spirit, or if it is an imitation.

It is important that before baptism the child recognizes the need for salvation, proceeds to repentance, makes
his or her public confession, and finally descends into the waters of baptism.

We can use as a figure, the fact that before Israel left Egypt led by Moses (Exodus 10:924), Pharaoh (the
Devil) was strongly opposed, but no one left Egypt until the children were included, also the scripture says
that all (great and small) were baptized in the cloud and in the sea (1 Corinthians 10:1-2), with which we
understand that children are not excluded from this step of obedience, as long as, they understand that they
have come out of the world (Egypt) and are going to the promised land (inherit the Kingdom of God).

NKJV 1 Corinthians 10:1 I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 10:2 All in Moses were baptized in the cloud and in the sea.
NKJV Exodus 10:9 Moses answered, "We are to go with our little ones and with our elders, with our sons and
with our daughters; we are to go with our flocks and with our herds, for we will have a feast of the LORD.
NKJV Exodus 10:10 And he (Pharaoh) said to them, "May the Lord be with you, if I let you and your children
go! See how your evil intentions are on display!
NKJV Exodus 10: 11 It shall not be so! Go you men and serve the Lord, for this is what you have asked. And
they drove them out of Pharaoh's presence.
NKJV Exodus 10:16 Then Pharaoh hastily summoned Moses and Aaron and said to them, "I have sinned
against the LORD your God and against you.
NKJV Exodus 10:24 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and said to him, "Go and serve the LORD. Your children
should also come with you. Only let your sheep and your cows be left alone.

Finally we must understand that a child cannot sin unless there is evil in his heart, and evil does not come
intrinsically in the human being at birth, it is acquired in the world when he begins to walk in it, so our task is to
guard and prepare the children so that when the time comes, they will know that they are in need of
repentance and salvation, and once they have made their choice for Christ, only then will they be prepared for
baptism. so our task is to guard and prepare the children so that when the time comes, they will know that
they are in need of repentance and salvation, and once they have made their choice for Christ, only then will
they be prepared for baptism. As we said before, there are no chronological ages, since there are children
whose hearts are full of evil at the age of 4 or 5, while there are others who reach the age of 10 and their

hearts are still innocent.

CONCLUSIONS
1. Water baptism is an act of obedience to the Lord, in which we receive a direct ministering of God to
our soul.
2. Baptism in water is indispensable to be able to resurrect, in the case of those who have to sleep (die
physically), while waiting for the parousia.
3. Water baptism is indispensable to be able to enter (inherit) the Kingdom of God.
4. The only condition necessary to be baptized is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with all our heart.
5. Water baptism is the acceptance of the Lord's redemptive work in us, and our total acceptance of the
Lord's redemptive work in us, and our total acceptance of the Lord's redemptive work in us.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

NKJV Mark 1:7 And he preached, saying, "He who is mightier than I, whom I am not
worthy to untie the latchet of his shoes, is coming after me.
NKJV Mark 1:8 I baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy
Spirit."

INTRODUCTION
It is clear that it is our Lord Jesus Christ who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. When the Lord rose from the dead,
He only presented Himself to His own and commanded them to wait for the promise of the Father.

NKJV Acts 1:3 To these also He presented Himself alive after He had suffered, with many convincing proofs.
For forty days he made himself visible to them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. NKJV Acts 1:4
And when they were together, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the
fulfillment of the promise of the Father, "of which you have heard me speak;
NKJV Acts 1:5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days
later."

We understand then that this promise is only for those who belong to Christ. Of the more than 500 to whom
the risen Lord appeared.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 15:6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, of whom many
are still living, and some are asleep.

Only the 120 in the upper room received the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
NKJV Acts 1:15 In those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, who were about one hundred and
twenty in number....

NKJV Acts 2:1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all gathered together in one place.
NKJV Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with different tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance.

They remained united in prayer and supplication, obedient to the Lord's commandment and fervently awaiting
the fulfillment of His promise. This baptism is different from water baptism, because it is not a command, it is
not a step of obedience, but a gift, a product of obedience.

I- WHAT IS BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?
The baptism with the Holy Spirit consists in the manifestation of the power received from above, which allows
us to witness effectively the work of the Lord in our lives. It is a different event from the filling of the Holy Spirit,
which is received after having believed.

II- WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?
It is necessary to receive power from on high so that we can truly be witnesses for the Lord wherever we are.
NKJV Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be
witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

The Lord Jesus commanded his disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on
high, for they were witnesses of his sufferings, death and resurrection, and that it was necessary for them to
preach repentance and forgiveness of sins in his name among all nations.

NKJV Luke 24:45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
NKJV Luke 24:46 And he said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer
and to rise from the dead on the third day;
NKJV Luke 24:47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
NKJV Luke 24:48 And you are witnesses of these things.
NKJV Luke 24:49 Behold, I will send the fulfillment of my Father's promise upon you. But tarry ye in the city
until ye are endued with power from on high.

It is a notorious fact that it was first necessary for their understanding of the scripture to be opened to them, so
that then the Baptism of the Holy Spirit could come. So it was that on the day of Pentecost, all were filled with
the Holy Spirit and Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke to the Jews who were
then dwelling in Jerusalem, moving them to repentance for the forgiveness of their sins, testifying of the Lord
Jesus Christ and exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation" (Acts 2: 1).and exhorted
them, saying, " Be saved from this perverse generation " (Acts 2:1-47):1-47). On that day about three
thousand people received the Lord.

It is necessary to receive the Holy Spirit, because he will guide us into all truth.
NKJV John 16:13 And when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not
speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come.

NKJV John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but by
me.

The Holy Spirit will lead us to Christ and reveal His word to us. Christ, in turn, will lead us to the knowledge of
the Father, because only He can make Him known.
R60 John 1:18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has
made him known.

The knowledge of God is what will give us eternal life.

NKJV John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom
you have sent.

It is necessary to receive the Holy Spirit because He will lead us to the conquest of the unsurrendered areas
of our soul, which prevent us from living an abundant life.
NKJV John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, kill and destroy. I have come that they may have
life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

The abundant life is that which is filled with the fruits of the Spirit and to achieve it it is necessary to be guided
by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-25).

1
6
NKJV Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and so you will never gratify the evil desires of the flesh.
NKJV Galatians 5:17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the
flesh. Both oppose each other, so that you do not do what you would like to do.
NKJV Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
NKJV Galatians 5:25 Now that we live in the Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit.

III-WHAT IS NECESSARY TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?

A) It is necessary to have Christ dwelling in one.
NKJV John 7:39 This He said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive, for the Spirit
had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Only Christ alone can receive and contain the Holy Spirit. Our spirit cannot contain it, because it is like
pouring new wine into old wineskins that break and spill it. Christ is our new wineskin and the new wine of the
Holy Spirit can be contained within Him without being spilled.
The Lord was first born in Bethlehem and then filled with the Holy Spirit in the Jordan. Thus, in us there must
first be a new birth so that we can then receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.

B) We should earnestly long for the promise of the Father to be fulfilled in us (Acts 1:4).
5) . The Lord said:
NKJV John 7:37 But on the last great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty,
let him come to Me and drink.

We also read in:

NKJV 1 Corinthians 10:4 They all drank the same spiritual drink, because they drank from the spiritual rock
that followed them; and the rock was Christ.

Christ is the rock, and the water that flowed from it is the Holy Spirit. However, it is necessary to be thirsty and
to approach the rock in order to drink the living water that flows from it.

IV- WHAT MANIFESTATION IS RECEIVED BY BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY

SPIRIT?
The only external manifestation of having received the baptism with the Holy Spirit is speaking in other
tongues, and the only internal manifestation is fire.

NKJV Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with different tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance.
NKJV Acts 10:45 And the believers of the circumcision who had come with Peter were astonished, because the
gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles also ; NKJV Acts 10:46 for they heard them speaking
in tongues and glorifying God.
NKJV Acts 10:47 Then Peter answered, "Can any man deny the water, that these who have received the Holy
Spirit should not be baptized, even as we are?

It is very important to clarify that the Holy Spirit is a gentleman, and just as when Jesus Christ saved us, he
first knocked at the door of our heart, and entered when we opened it and did not force his way in, likewise
the Holy Spirit does not force anyone, he waits for the door to be opened and then he begins to work.
There are some manifestations that occur when the Holy Spirit is present, and that do not appear in the Bible,
but that exist, among the most common are: a shiver that runs down the spine, a tingling that invades the
whole body, electricity running through the body and some others.
It is important that we make it clear that these sensations are not inherent to the Holy Spirit, that is to say, that
it is not an obligation of the Holy Spirit to manifest Himself in this way, that is why we emphasize that the only
Biblical manifestations are speaking in tongues and fire.
The Holy Spirit and the Gospel itself have been criticized and belittled by the exaggerated and out of doctrinal
context practices that some groups have tried to turn into characteristics of the Holy Spirit.For example, in

1
7
addition to the sensations we have already mentioned, to start shouting and screaming uncontrollably, to
shake the body as if not having control of it, to fall to the ground shaking uncontrollably, are just some of these
exaggerations, why? It is very simple, the Holy Spirit DOES NOT POSSESS people, He only covers and fills
them, which is very different, because the one who is possessed loses control of his body and his being, but
the one who is baptized continues to have control of his body and his being at all times, with the difference
that he experiences how the inner emptiness begins to be filled, and how the loneliness begins to disappear.

Undoubtedly, at some point the Holy Spirit in His mercy has wanted to show Himself to some unbelievers with
these demonstrations of power with the purpose of making them believe, but it is not a general rule, these are
exceptions.

In most cases the ignorance and lack of the gift of discernment of spirits in some churches has contributed to
demonic manifestations being confused with the Holy Spirit. May God reprove the Devil for that, for they are
no different from each other, that is why it is important that we do not seek the signs, but rather seek the Lord
who does the signs.

CONCLUSIONS
1. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can baptize us with the Holy Spirit.
2. The Baptism with the Holy Spirit consists in the fact of receiving the power from above, so that our
testimony may be truly effective.
3. It is necessary to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, because we need power from on high to be
true witnesses of the Lord. It will also guide us into all truth and lead us to an abundant life.
4. To receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, it is necessary to have Christ dwelling in one, to long for
and fervently await the fulfillment of the Father's promise in us.
5. The only outward manifestation of having received the baptism of the Holy Spirit is speaking in
tongues.
6. The Holy Spirit does not possess anyone, nor does He deprive anyone of his mental and motor
faculties. The Holy Spirit comes in to fill and guide us, but it is our choice to obey Him or not.

FAITH
NKJV Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

NKJV Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

PRATT Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.

INTRODUCTION
Faith is the conviction of what is not seen, the substance of things hoped for, the assurance that we will
receive the things hoped for, it is in simple words, taking for granted what is not yet. Without faith it is
impossible to please God:

NKJV Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe
that he exists and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

And whatever does not come from faith is not pleasing to God, for it is sin:
NKJV Romans 14:23 But he who doubts about it is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat in faith. For
whatever does not come from faith is sin.

We can therefore be sure that even prayers made without faith are displeasing in the eyes of God.
Faith is the substance necessary to work miracles, but also to die for the Lord. We have to ask God to
increase our faith, to such an extent that we can move in the Spirit, since for the one who walks in the Spirit
the law has no inference on him, for it was given for the transgressors, disobedient and not for the righteous,
because the righteous will live by faith.
NKJV 1 Timothy 1:9 And this we know, that the law is not made for the righteous, but for the rebellious and
insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the irreverent and profane, for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers, for murderers,
NKJV 1 Timothy 1:10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for
whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine ,

It is necessary for the one who approaches God to believe that he really exists (Hebrews 11:6). Many people
kneel and even make gestures crying out to a God they are not even sure exists. These are false religionists,
whose god is the womb with which they do all this pantomime; only in order that others may see how pious
they are, but they do not realize that God abominates such prayer.

In addition to believing that God exists, it is also necessary to believe that he is a rewarder of those who seek
him (Hebrews 11:6), for if we do not believe that God is a rewarder, then why do we ask him to give us? If we
are going to ask God for something, we must believe that He can do it, for He can say to us as He did to the
centurion:

1
9
NKJV Matthew 8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion: --Go, and as thou hast believed be it done unto thee.
And his servant was healed in that hour.

The servant who had received a talent did not believe that God was a rewarder (Matthew 25:14-30).
NKJV Matthew 25:23 His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful
over a little, I will put you over a lot. Enter into the joy of your lord."
NKJV Matthew 25:30 Cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness." There will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.

If your faith is still little, be honest with God and with yourself and ask him like the father of the demon-
possessed boy: NKJV Mark 9:24 Immediately the boy's father cried out, saying, "I believe! Help my
disbelief!

I- SAVING FAITH
It is the faith that God gives to every creature. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance. God arranged that no one should be lost and that those who fell should be able to
repent. For this, God gave the same measure of faith to each of us, but our salvation depends on the use we
make of it.

NKJV 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering
toward you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

NKJV Romans 12:3 Therefore I say to each one of you, through the grace given to me, that no one should
think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but think soberly, according to the measure of faith
which God has dealt to each one.

Cain rejected the faith that God gave him, even when He Himself reminded him that he could repent, since
only by making use of that faith could he be saved. However, Cain rebelled and became very angry and
because he could not stand God, he killed his brother. Then God made Cain from the earth and from His
presence because he would not use faith to repent. That is the faith that Luzbel and the fallen angels
despised, that is the faith that those who are lost despise, because it is faith in the saving blood of Jesus
Christ.
Cain is a classic example of apostasy, for not only did he refuse to use saving faith but he turned his back on
God, when saving faith is lost then there is only one way to go, that of the apostates, such as Judas the
Apostle, who having participated in the same as all the other apostles of Christ, finally chose the riches of the
world and returned his faith, so he finally died lost, as a child of darkness.stol, who having participated in the
same thing that all the other apostles of Christ participated in, finally chose the riches of the world and
returned his faith, that is why he finally died lost, as a son of darkness.
NKJV Genesis 4:6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why is your countenance fallen?
NKJV Genesis 4:7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door and
lusts for you, but you must master it.

The bronze serpent that God commanded Moses to make in the wilderness had to be seen by faith so that the
poison left by the bite of the serpents would be annulled. The Israelites who died there, it was because they
had no faith and not because of the poison of the serpents (Numbers 21:4-9).

Saving faith is neither bought nor earned, but is given by God for the exclusive purpose of believing in the
redeeming blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, for no one can believe in it by reasoning. Cain used reason in
offering his sacrifice and God was not pleased, but Abel used faith and God was pleased with him and his
offering.
Through the Rhema of God moves the Holy Spirit, who activates the faith that makes us invoke the name of
God for Salvation.

NKJV Romans 10:8 But what does it say? NEAR YOU IS THE WORD, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR
HEART, that is, the word of faith that we preach:

2
0
NKJV Romans 10:9 that if you confess Jesus as Lord with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
NKJV Romans 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation.

II- FAITH AS A SPIRITUAL GIFT

It is one of the nine gifts that the Holy Spirit gives to the saints of the church for the edification of the Body of
Christ.
R60 1 Corinthians 12:9 to another, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of healings by the same
Spirit.

Paul exhorts us to long for the better gifts and one of them is faith.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 12:31 But desire the best gifts. And now I will show you an even more excellent way:
Since it is a gift from God, it is necessary that other gifts such as healing or miracle working be manifested.
This faith cannot be developed, for it is given by the Holy Spirit as He wills and is put to work in certain
persons and in certain circumstances. An example of this faith is that of Peter, when making use of it he gave
complete healing to a man born lame (Acts 3:1-8;16).
Faith as a gift is not given to all, but only to those whom the Holy Spirit wants to use with this gift.

III- FAITH AS A SPIRITUAL FRUIT

1. It is a facet of the fruit of the Spirit.
R60 Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

2. As such, it is necessary to cultivate it in order to be able to participate in it.

NKJV 2 Timothy 2:6 It is the laboring husbandman who works hard who must first receive his share of the
fruits.

3. It must be worked with patience and dedication, so that it grows and strengthens.
R60 Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thy patience, and that thy last
works are more than the first.

Believing is not simply trusting that what is expected will happen, but also acting under that assurance and
conviction, then confessing that it was done. We can say then that faith as fruit is the result of obedience to
God's promises.

The woman sick with the issue of blood believed firmly in her heart that if she touched only the garment of
Jesus, she would be saved. But then he joined the action to his faith and coming up behind the Lord he
touched the hem of his garment and instantly the flow of blood stopped (Luke 8:43-48). Then the Lord made
him declare before all the people why he had touched him and how he was instantly healed. The purpose of
this public confession is to revive the faith of others through the testimony and manifestation of God's power.
In chapter 11 of Hebrews, the Bible clearly shows us the use of faith as fruit, in the example of tremendous
men and women of God who persevered to the end, trusting in the fulfillment of God's promises.

4. If faith is not put into practice, it can die.

R60 James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

Faith is manifested and perfected through works, since if what is believed is not put into action, how can it be
developed? The greatest obstacle to the development of faith is reasoning. The order observed in Acts 1:1 is
to do and to teach.

NKJV Acts 1:1 In the first account I wrote, O Theophilus, about all the things that Jesus began to do and to
teach,

We must not allow too much growth to prevent us from acting. To act in faith we must become like children,

2
1
removing all vanity from our minds and all prejudice from our hearts.
We must not forget that God will rebuke us if we did not follow the signs, for these, He said, will follow those
who believe.

CONCLUSIONS
1. Apostasy is the loss of saving faith.
2. Faith as a gift of the Holy Spirit cannot be lost because it belongs to the Spirit alone and He gives it to
whomever He wills, for the edification of the Body of Christ.
3. Faith as a fruit must be cultivated, so that the benefits that it could have given us if it had been
cultivated are not lost.
4. We must distinguish between faith and the boasting of faith. Faith is of the Spirit, and the boasting of
faith is of the flesh.
5. Not even the primary ministers are exempt from falling into apostasy if they are not careful of their
saving faith.
6. Whoever has believed the message of salvation, and is already beginning to walk, should not be
frustrated or discouraged if at some point he sins, or if suddenly there is some bad habit that he
cannot leave, many things that we drag from the world will disappear little by little, to the extent that
we let the water of the word combine with our fruit of faith.

PRAYER
LBA Luke 3:21 And it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also
was baptized: and as He prayed, heaven was opened,

INTRODUCTION
Prayer is communion with the Father through Christ. It is also to have and keep the sky open. If we only
revolve our study around these two aspects, we would find a great treasure for our life. We can assure that
prayer is the key to the abundant spiritual life of the Christian, the Christian is: what he is in prayer.
Prayer also serves us to obtain what has been preordained, since what is predestined will come whether we
ask for it or not.
NKJV Luke 6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus went out into a mountain to pray, and
continued all night in prayer to God.

I- TYPES OF PRAYERS
A) PRAYER IN THE ATRIUM

It is the prayer that only asks. Its motto is "give me". We present only complaints, pains, needs of all kinds, the
healing of our body and all those things that are additions. We constantly ask God for them.

This prayer is made with the mind, with the natural light in the atrium. With them we approach God through
our natural reasoning.
NASB Matthew 6:32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you
need all these things.
NKJV Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to
you.

B) PRAYER IN THE HOLY PLACE

Prayer in the holy place is no longer just asking Him, but thanking Him for what He gives us. There is praise
produced by the Spirit in us, which is typified in the light produced by the oil in the candlestick, which
enlightens our understanding with the Spirit helping us in our weakness and lack of adequate prayer at our
convenience.

R60 1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is
unfruitful.

2
3
R60 1 Corinthians 14:15 What then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the understanding; I
will sing with the spirit, but I will sing also with the understanding.
NKJV Romans 8:26 And in the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to
pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; R60
Romans 8:27 But he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because according to
the will of God he maketh intercession for the saints.

This type of prayer, guided by the Spirit, is in constant search of the Lord's will, because it desires to please
God.
NASB Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Therefore, he surrenders and surrenders to the Lord without reserve. When ministering to the soul there are a
series of obstacles for the Spirit, such as: the mind, feelings, complexes and others. This is what hinders us
from reaching consecration and therefore a life of constant prayer.

This prayer is the cry of our spirit with the help of the Holy Spirit for:

1) To be clothed with Christ

R60 Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans with one accord, and with one accord is in
travail until now;
R60 Romans 8:23 and not only she, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we
ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

2) Get your image

R60 Galatians 4:19 My little children, for whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed in you,

3) To know the mysteries of Christ

NKJV Luk 8:10 And he said, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to
others in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

4) To obtain complete redemption, that is, the glorification of our body.

NKJV 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are being
transformed into the same likeness from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Finally, with prayer in the holy place we recognize what Christ did for us on the cross, but we also recognize
what he does and will do, if we let him work.
NKJV Colossians 1:27 To these God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the nations, which is: Christ in you, the hope of glory.
NKJV Colossians 1:28 Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we
may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

C) PRAYER IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES

It is adoration and intercession.

1) ADORATION

It is rejoicing in the Spirit for what He is, no longer for what He gives or will give us, but for what He is. It is a
prayer in the Spirit, no longer with the help or aid of the Spirit but immersed in the Spirit. The glory of the
Shekinah, the light of her presence is manifested and it is then that worship has its place.
R60 Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
NKJV 2 Corinthians 12:1 I must glory, though it is not profitable. However, I will turn to the visions and
revelations of the Lord.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 12:2 I know a man in Christ, who fourteen years ago--whether in the body, I do not
know; whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows--was caught up to the third heaven.

2
4
NKJV 2 Corinthians 12:4 who was caught up into paradise, where he heard unspeakable things which man is
not permitted to utter.

2) INTERCESSION
Intercession is to plead, to pray for another person, to mediate for him (here we forget ourselves). It is to
insistently ask for something that is extremely important to us. It is the prayer of surrender for others, and it is
the product of having contemplated the glory of God.

R60 John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
Intercession is not a simple prayer of "bless brother Lord, amen" but rather, a total surrender in prayer for
those we love. Paul describes it in this way:

NKJV Galatians 4:19 My little children, for whom I travail in birth again until Christ is formed in you,

This prayer is always answered because it is in accordance with the feeling of the Holy Spirit, who translates
His feeling in us as birth pangs; for He is to form Christ in us. That is your task.
Moses at the bush was called upon to intercede. When he saw that the bush burned and was not consumed,
God allowed him to see its glory and so he became Israel's intercessor.
Christ our High Priest, intercede for us. Where is he interceding for us? In heaven itself! In the Holy of Holies!
It is there that His intercession on our behalf takes place.

NKJV Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? Christ is the one who died; moreover, he is the one who also
rose again; who, moreover, is at the right hand of God, and who also intercedes for us.
NKJV Hebrews 4:14 Having therefore a great high priest who transcended the heavens, Jesus, the Son of
God, let us hold fast our faith.
NKJV Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one
who has been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.
NKJV Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

II- HOW TO PRAY

In the Bible we can see that there are several ways to pray. One of them is in a group. This form of prayer is
when the church or congregation prays fervently to God in unity.
R60 Acts 12:5 So Peter was kept in prison; but the church prayed to God for him without ceasing.
It also occurs at the discipleship level. Another way is for two or more people to agree on a specific request.
And the other way is individual, personal, alone or in secret. When we pray let us keep in mind that:

IS PERSONAL
NKJV Matthew 6:5 "When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to pray standing in the
synagogues and on the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, they have their
reward.
GOD LOVES THE TRUTH IN THE INTIMATE
NKJV Matthew 6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, shut the door and pray to your Father who is
in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

PRAYER IS NOT A LEARNED RITE

NKJV Matthew 6:7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do, who think that they
will be heard for their babbling.

IS TO TALK TO GOD
NKJV Matthew 6:8 Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you
ask Him.

THERE IS A MODEL PRAYER

2
5
R60 Luke 11:1 Now it happened that Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of
his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.

This way of praying is learned, the disciples asked the Lord to teach them how to pray. The reason they asked
him is because they saw the fruit of his communion with the Father. The Lord's Prayer, as it is commonly
known, is nothing more than a model, a light on what we should really consider when we begin to pray. That is
why the Lord insisted that it was not a matter of repeating it, for that would be vain, without fruit; it was a
matter of understanding it, it was a matter of understanding the message behind that prayer. Let's see:

I. Our Father: It speaks to us of My kinship or relationship that I have with the Lord, it is a recognition that
we are children of God. Because Jesus did not call him My Father, but Our Father.
None in the Old Testament: neither Moses who saw God face to face, nor Abraham, nor Isaac, nor Joseph,
nor Jacob, nor even Elijah who went away without seeing death, had the privilege of knowing or living the
kinship with God. With this phrase we realize two things: first that we are children of God and second that he
is Father not only mine but also yours and of everyone who has recognized Christ as Savior.

II. who art in heaven: show us where God is and reveal to us My Vision. Our vision is as the scripture says

NKJV Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on things on the earth;
Where are we really looking? Let us understand that our vision is to know that everything that will come to us
will come from above. It will not depend on our contacts, or our influences, if it is given to us it is because God
has allowed it. Even if there is a crisis, the children of God will not go through it, that is why our vision has to
be above, our eyes have to be in heaven, because where our treasure is, there our heart will be.

III. Hallowed be thy name: It speaks to us of My Nature, and that refers us to Holiness, because that is our
nature, that is why it says "He who is in Christ is a new creature".
Before we knew God, we entrusted ourselves to the saints and to whatever things man has invented as
substitutes for God, to achieve his virtues or qualities, but now we have understood that the qualities of a
pure, virgin, mature and spotless church are implicit in our new spiritual nature. Our nature and surname is
Church of Christ. So, spiritually speaking: in our veins runs the blood of Christ Jesus, our elder brother who
makes us saints. Holiness is already in our nature and the Holy Spirit will be guiding and teaching us to
maintain ourselves as a mature church worthy of being taken up in the rapture.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.

IV. Thy kingdom come: It marks My position. We are calling for a kingdom to come and we know that
whoever rules in a kingdom is a KING. And JESUS is our King and we are his servants.
We are all servants, subjects of God. And as is the King, so shall be the Kingdom. Let King Jesus rule: if we
let the Holy Spirit guide our hearts, then we will be as the King is. When things are not going well, it is
because we do not pray well, we must invoke the kingdom of God to come. Let our King Jesus reign in our
kingdom, our family, our church, our work, our own life.

V. Thy will be done: indicates My Surrender. We must be willing for God to work his will in us, so that things
may work out well for us, because the word says
NKJV Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a quarter? And yet, not one of them will fall to the
ground without your Father's permission.
NKJV Matthew 10:30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
NKJV Matthew 10:31 So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

This indicates that He knows us personally and has a wonderful plan for each of us. God has the best future
we can imagine, but we have to do His will.
There is a specific place, there is a church, there is a specific talent for us to develop and by God's will it is for
our blessing. When we do not walk in the place or the path that God marked for us there is no blessing. When
we confess: Thy will be done, it is hard but the results are worth it, the best example is Jesus who was
obedient to the will of his father until death, and in Gethsemane he confessed: Father thy will be done and not
mine.

2
6
VI. on earth as it is in heaven: it speaks of My Cloning What is implied in this phrase of this beautiful
prayer is that as things are done in heaven they should be done on earth because the Sovereign God
deserves that we please Him, honor and glorify Him as they do in heaven. God's plan is to carve us in his
hand to make us equal to his beloved son, equal to Christ. May we be clones of Christ. His plan is to make
millions of Christs (Anointed Ones).

VII. "Give us this day our daily bread: This verse speaks of My provision. We can
However, God can send us all the blessing at once, and it is okay to ask for the provision for the whole year,
but God makes us exams, because some are prepared and others are not to receive the blessings. That is
why God sends us trials to prepare us to have the maturity to receive the blessings. Trials are not only of
suffering, but also of good things, God will give us better things but he will test us. We have to humble
ourselves when God gives us good things. We must listen to the voice of God. When God tells us to do
something and He is blessing us is when we should listen to Him the most. A difficult test to overcome and
come out of it approved is the prosperity and blessing of God, however, if we pass this test will give us more,
and if we do not pass it will take away the blessing.

NKJV Luke 16:10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much.
Let us be faithful to the blessings God gives us.

VIII. "And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
debtors: this verse teaches us about My law of Sowing and Reaping. The Lord teaches us about the
Universal Law of Sowing and reaping, and one of the consequences of this is to forgive. Because it may be
time for us to forgive or ask for forgiveness. One of God's disciples who had a hard time forgiving was Peter,
and until he failed and received God's forgiveness he was able to understand and forgive those who failed
him. Jesus preached about forgiving those who persecute us, those who offend us, those who fail us as He
has forgiven us.

NKJV Matthew 18:21 Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me,
that I should forgive him? Up to seven times?
NKJV Matthew 18:22 Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, 'Seven times seven,' but 'Seventy times seven. Let
us forgive in order to be forgiven.

IX. "And lead us not into temptation: this is My Petition. We ask God to deliver us from temptation, not to
allow us to fall into temptation.

NASB Proverbs 24:16 For the righteous falls seven times, and rises again.

So we have the assurance that if we fall the Lord will lift us up and the Bible also says
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you that is not common to man; and God is faithful, who will
not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, but with the temptation He will also provide
the way of escape, so that you may be able to resist it.

God's word also says that He delivers the Righteous from temptation. Our Creator knows that we are weak
and that we fail and He understands us. If we fall, let us get up and go on, but let us try to the point of blood
not to fall into sin and flee from temptation, because God always gives a way out.

X. but deliver us from evil: this is My Hope, the hope we have of being delivered from evil. Let us ask God
to deliver us from all danger, from all the wiles of the devil, from all the works of darkness that want to operate
in us and against us, and we ask this in intercessory prayer for us or our family. Let us turn away from evil,
that it may have no power or right over us.

XI. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever: this is My worship. The
Lord teaches us to worship the Father. He ends this prayer with worship that is Universal. Our God is adorable
and even Jesus his son understands that everything that breathes praises Jehovah and worships him.
Recognize that The Kingdom is the Father's, the Universal Kingdom, and the Power that is eternal is also His,
because our God is Everlasting and Almighty and the Glory belongs to Him forever and ever. He alone is

2
7
worthy of everything because everything is His workmanship.
What Jesus teaches us with this prayer is to be like Him, to learn to pray with the knowledge of what we are.
In this sentence then we learn:

1. What we have a Kinship with God.

2. What We must have Vision in order to approach God.
3. What we are now part of a New Nature.
4. What We occupy a position of servant and Christ is the King
5. What the Surrender of our being is what God expects.
6. That our Cloning is: to become like Christ.
7. That our Provision comes from God.
8. There is a Law of Sowing and Harvesting, which is always fulfilled.
9. Our petition should always be that temptation not overcome us.
10. Our Hope is that evil will not come near us.
11. Worship is what God expects to receive from us every day.

111. WHAT TO OVERCOME IN PRAYER

A) Renewal of Understanding
We must renew our mind in order to understand God and His ways, removing and overcoming our reasoning.

NKJ Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We must cleanse the mind of all malice and then we will not be hindered in prayer with thoughts that are
foreign to God and that distract us.
R60 Ephesians 6:16 Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts
of the wicked one.

We must clear our conscience. This is achieved with constant personal application of the blood of Christ so as
not to be accused and hindered for not being worthy, for not being prepared or for feeling guilty before God.
R60 Titus 1:15 All things are pure to the pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; for even
their mind and conscience are corrupt.

There are several passages in the Bible that speak of the possibility of being attacked in the mind with darts,
accusations, defamations, and vituperations guided by the devil to the children of God. God allows this attack
because many times only in this way we renew our mind, when we see the serious situation or in the most
difficult moments we cry out and diligently seek submission to the Lord.

R60 James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
R60 Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the
enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
R60 Zechariah 3:1 He showed me Joshua the high priest, who stood before the angel of the LORD, and Satan
was at his right hand to accuse him.

B) PERSEVERANCE
It is to have a self-discipline guided by the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:5-13; 18:1-8). Perseverance is waiting on God,
walking by faith and not by sight. If we do not persevere in prayer, we may leave God with the answer about to
give it to us. We must overcome laziness, impatience and inconstancy, which are some of the enemies that
prevent us from persevering in prayer.

C) WEAKNESS AND FATIGUE

Heaviness of mood, distraction, depression, and even sadness. At Gethsemani the disciples were assailed by
a deep sadness and heaviness, and instead of helping with their prayer they fell asleep.

2
8
R60 Luke 22:45 When he arose from prayer and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping because of
sorrow;
This happens frequently, but we must overcome it with the authority we have; because most of the time they
are spirits that want to hinder us before God. At other times our stagnant soul takes on weakness. In personal
prayer this situation is extremely important to overcome and the Lord is there to give us the victory at all times.

D) TO KNOW THE WILL OF GOD

There is a barrier that prevents us from knowing God's will for our life. Here too the Lord wants to make us
victorious.

If we want to please the Lord, if we want to change what is changeable, that is, to know His will, we are going
to ask and seek what He wants to change in us.

He who allows himself to be guided, what he desires is to be pleasing to the Lord. Everyone who has the Holy
Spirit will find that the Spirit's desire is for us to know His will and then to live it every day. We should ask and
receive only if it is according to God's desire and not our own. For this there must be a profound change in us,
there must be a change of mind and attitude (metanoia).

It was in the Gethsemani (place of crushed olives), where Christ asked the father to do his will. It is in our
Gethsemani that we are going to ask the Father to do His will. If things change in heaven, they will surely
change on earth (Matthew 6:10). This was the feeling of the model of prayer that the Lord left to his disciples
in the Lord's Prayer. If it is God's will that things in heaven change for us, we should find out.

CONCLUSIONS
1. We must pray for maintaining communion with the Father and that heaven is
open for us.
2. We must to know the will of the Father and This can only be achieved by means of the
prayer.
3. We must pray for change the changeable, and to obtain the pre-ordered.
4. We must let may the Spirit be the one to lead us to the Shekinah of God.
5. There is a model of prayer that we must follow for our prayers to be heard, note that it is to follow the
model, not to repeat it.
6. Prayer is not vain repetitions because they get nowhere, prayer is our own expressions coming from
our heart with the intention of communicating with the Father.

THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

NKJV 1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but
the Spirit is the same.
NKJV 1Co 12:5 And there are diversities of ministry, but the
Lord is the same.
NKJV 1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is
the same God who works all things in all.
NKJV 1Co 12:7 But to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common
good.
INTRODUCTION
As a principle we must know that a gift is a gift that is received from the Lord, not by merit, works or payment; but
by the pure affection of his will, by his grace, because that is his desire and his will, holy and perfect for us.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, in whom
there is no change and no shadow of turning.

I- DIVERSITY OF GIFTS
Because the church is his body, the Lord has endowed it with a diversity of gifts. In the scriptures we are shown
gifts that mark a direct action in the body of Christ, such as service, teaching, exhortation, giving and others.

PRATT Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, if prophecy, let us
exercise them according to the analogy of faith;
PRATT Romans 12:7 or he who ministers, in ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
PRATT Romans 12:8 He that exhorteth, in exhortation; he that giveth, in simplicity; he that ruleth, let him do it
with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

It is our Lord Jesus Christ who gives the ministries, which he calls gifts, for they are gifts from the Lord to his
body.
1 Corinthians 12:28 And in the church God has appointed: first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then
miracles; then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
R60 Ephesians 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors
and teachers,
R60 Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, Ascending on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.

It is through the gifts that the child of God is made fit for the fulfillment of the calling that the Lord has given him. It
is the equipping by the Holy Spirit for the work of the ministry.

3
0
II- THE GIFTS ARE IRREVOCABLE
NKJV Romans 11:29 for the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.

That is why, if we have received the gift of the Holy Spirit, it is irrevocable and if He has called us, we can be sure
that it will certainly have its faithful fulfillment; for just as Jesus Christ was given to us totally in our hearts, in the
same way the Holy Spirit was given to us.

III- THE GIFTS ARE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

We know that we are in the age of the Spirit, He is the one who controls all the work of the church. Therefore, no
one can even attempt to appropriate ownership of these gifts, since it is the Spirit who manifests them for the
common good and according to the eternal purpose. Certainly they are ours, because they are received in order
to do the Lord's work in us and in his body, walking and living in the Spirit; but let us remember that even we do
not belong to ourselves, because we were bought with a price and with the price of blood. Hallelujah! To God be
the Glory!
No one may use them at will, but under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. However, we can opt for them, because
they are necessary for the spiritual struggle or battle and the battle of faith that we are currently fighting in the
name of Jesus.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit and their classification are:

1. Gifts of Revelation: its field of action is in the time line, past, present and future, and to reveal things that
eye has not seen and ear has not heard and that are hidden.

1) Word of Wisdom
2) Word of Science
3) Discernment of Spirits

2. Gifts of Power: their field of action is purely physical, on matter, that is, on everything created and that we
qualify as natural, it is beyond our domain or ability to handle, not even science can explain them.

1) Gift of Faith
2) Power to Work Miracles
3) Gift of Health

3. Gifts of Inspiration: its field of action is spiritual, i.e. it cannot be seen or felt, there is no way to check it
visibly.

1) Of Prophecy
2) Of Various Genres of Languages
3) Language Interpretation

So let's see how each one manifests itself

A) GIFTS OF REVELATION
1. WORD OF WISDOM
It is a gift of Revelation by which the Holy Spirit makes known or declares a future event, so that the Body of
Christ may be forewarned at a specific time of what will happen. As the rapture of the church approaches, the
manifestation of this gift will be more profuse; to care for its ministers and congregations. It can be manifested for
a people, a congregation or for an individual sheep. Examples:

1. When the prophet Agabus, by the word of Wisdom made known that there would be famine throughout the
land during the reign of Claudius, having given the brethren of Antioch relief to those of Judea.

NKJV Acts 11:27 In those days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

3
1
NKJV Acts 11:28 And one of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up and gave to understand by the Spirit that a
great famine would come upon the whole inhabited earth. (This happened in the time of Claudius).
NKJV Acts 11:29 Then the disciples, each one according to what he had, determined to send an offering to
minister to the brothers who lived in Judea.
NKJV Acts 11:30 And they did so, sending him to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

2. When the prophet Agabus, by word of wisdom, prophesied by taking the girdle of the apostle Paul in his
hands.

NKJV Acts 21:10 And while we were staying there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from
Judea.
NKJV Acts 21:11 When he came to us, he took Paul's girdle, bound his feet and hands, and said, "This is what the
Holy Spirit says: "The man to whom this girdle belongs, the Jews in Jerusalem will bind him in this way, and
deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."

2. WORD OF SCIENCE
It is a gift of revelation by which the Holy Spirit makes known or declares a past or present fact that affects the
body of Christ. It is useful to bring cleansing from sin and bondage to the Lord's people, thus manifesting before
His children that there is nothing hidden from Him; showing His great mercy and lordship. Examples:

1. When Ananias and Sapphira pretended to show a false testimony of love for their neighbor, trying to deceive
the apostle Peter with an apparent delivery of all the proceeds from the sale of the land (Acts 5:1-11).

NKJV Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession
NKJV Acts 5:2 With the knowledge of his wife, he subtracted from the price; and taking some of it, he laid it at
the apostles' feet.
NKJV Acts 5:3 And Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to steal the
price of the field?
NKJV Acts 5:4 Withholding it, was it not still yours? And once it was sold, wasn't it under your authority? Why
did you propose in your heart to do this? You have not lied to men, but to God.
NKJV Acts 5:5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon
all who heard it.

The Lord today will cleanse his body from false witness and declare in public what is done in secret, that there
may be fear of God; who will deliver his church from the pollutions of the world and of the flesh.

2. When the Lord asked the Samaritan woman to bring her husband, she replied that she had no husband
and the Lord brought to light her past life (John 4:17-29).

NKJV John 4:16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here.
NKJV John 4:17 The woman answered and said to him, "I have no husband. Jesus said to her: -You have well
said, "I have no husband."
NKJV John 4:18 For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. This you have
truly said.
NKJV John 4:19 The woman said to him, "Lord, I see that you are a prophet.

The same happens today in the ministrations, when the brother or sister does not declare the truth and the
Holy Spirit through the minister discovers the truth, to grant forgiveness of sin through confession. The hour is
coming when the Holy Spirit will profusely manifest this gift within the Lord's people.

3. DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS
It is a gift of revelation by which the Holy Spirit enables His ministers, with certainty, to know which spirit is
manifesting; whether by mouth, by vessel or by environment. This gift is vital for every child of God not to be
deceived or influenced by any spirit, because there is much confusion because the spirit of error is operating and

3
2
as we are in end times many spirits of error will go out into the world with a false gospel and fighting for areas of
dominion.

This gift will be manifested at a given moment, to stop the action of spirits contrary to the will of the Lord and the
Holy Spirit. Through this gift, the whole anointed church will be able to fight under the guidance of the Holy Spirit;
the Spiritual battle to which we are called.

NKJV Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
authorities, against the rulers of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the heavenly places.

This gift is also useful to discern which spirit dominates in a place where we are sent to take this glorious gospel.
To know which spirit may be hindering our homes or our brothers, in our work, in our business; being able to fight
with them to take away their rights and dominions in the name of Jesus. Examples:

1. When the Apostle Paul in Philippi caused a spirit of divination to come out of a woman, so that it would not
hinder the work of God.
NKJV Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to the place of prayer, there met us a slave girl who had a spirit
of divination, who gave great gain to her masters by divining.
NKJV Acts 16:17 This one, following Paul and us, cried out, saying, "These men are servants of the Most High
God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.
NKJV Acts 16:18 And this he did for many days; but when this displeased Paul, he turned and said to the spirit, "I
command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, come out of her! And it came out at that very moment.

2. When the Lord Jesus Christ healed a woman who had been sick for 18 years because of a spirit.

NKJV Luke 13:11 And there was a woman there who for eighteen years had had an infirmity caused by a spirit;
she was bowed down, and could by no means straighten herself up.
NKJV Luke 13:12 When Jesus saw her, He called her and said to her, "Woman, you have been freed from your
infirmity.
NKJV Luke 13:13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and glorified God.
NKJV Luke 13:16 And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long
years, was she not to be delivered from this bond on the Sabbath day?

B) GIFTS OF POWER
1. GIFT OF FAITH
It is a gift of power that the Holy Spirit manifests, in a specific moment to do the work of the Lord; according to His
purpose. It is closely linked to the gifts of healing (divine health) and miracles. Examples:

1. When the Lord rebuked the winds at sea.

MKJV Mark 4:38 And he was in the stern, asleep at the head; and they awoke him, saying, "Master! Don't you
care that we perish?
MKJV Mark 4:39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Be still! Shudder! And the wind
ceased and the bonanza became great.
MKJV Mark 4:40 And he said to them, "Why are you fearful? Still no faith?
MKJV Mark 4:41 And they feared greatly, and said one to another, "Who is this man then, that even the wind
and the sea obey him?
2. When the Lord multiplied the loaves.

NKJV John 6:11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to those who
were reclining. In the same way, he distributed as much of the fish as they wanted.
NKJV John 6:12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples: -Gather up the fragments that are left, that
nothing be lost.
NKJV John 6:13 So they gathered and filled twelve baskets with pieces of the five barley loaves that were left
over from those who had eaten.

3
3
2. GIFT OF MIRACLES

It is a gift of power that the Holy Spirit manifests at specific moments and whose characteristic is that it is realized
against all natural law. Examples

1. When the Lord walked on the waters toward the boat in which He was traveling with His disciples, all laws of
gravity were broken (Matthew 14:27-29).

NKJV Matthew 14:27 At once Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take courage! I am! Fear not!
NKJV Matthew 14:28 Then Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the
water.
NKJV Matthew 14:29 And he said, "Come. Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and went to Jesus.

2. When the Lord wanted to be learned by the multitudes, the Bible declares that having passed through their
midst he was hidden (John 8:58-59).

SSE John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
SSE John 8:59 Then they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, and
passed through the midst of them, and departed.

3. GIFT OF HEALTH
It is a gift of power that the Holy Spirit manifests, at a specific moment, operating physical health on men (sons or
not sons of God). Examples:

1. When the Lord healed the woman of the flow of blood just by her touching his garment.

MKJV Mark 5:29 And immediately the fountain of her blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was
healed from the scourge.
Mark 5:34 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be healed of your scourge.

2. when the Lord healed blind Bartimaeus.

MKJV Mark 10:51 And Jesus answered him, saying, "What do you want me to do to you? The blind man said to
him, "Rabbi, may I regain my sight.
NKJV Mark 10:52 Jesus said to him, "Go away. Your faith has saved you. At once he regained his sight, and was
following Jesus on the road.

3. When he healed the blind man of Siloam John (:6)

4. When he healed the paralytic Matthew 9:2

C) GIFTS OF INSPIRATION

1. GIFT OF PROPHECY
It is a gift that through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit the Lord sends his word to a congregation or to an
individual person, without a previous message in tongues. This prophecy is useful for edification, exhortation and
consolation.

NKJV 1 Corinthians 14:3 But he who prophesies speaks to men to edification and exhortation and comfort.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, while he who prophesies edifies the church.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 14:5 I would that you all spoke with tongues, but more, that you prophesied; for greater is he
who prophesies than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets them, so that the church may receive
edification.

It is a specific message for a specific time or for a specific task. Examples:

3
4
1) When the Apostle Paul tells Timothy to militate according to the prophecies of the prophets
NKJV 1Timothy 1:18 This commandment I charge you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which were
formerly made concerning you, that you may fight the good fight for them, 2) When Timothy is admonished by
the apostle.
NKJV 1Timothy 4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying
on of the hands of the council of elders.
3) The book of Revelation that everything is a prophecy
Prophecy is so important that the Bible tells us not to underestimate it.
NKJV 1 Thessalonians 5:20 Do not despise prophecy;

2. DIFFERENT KINDS OF LANGUAGES

This Gift of the Holy Spirit does not refer to the tongue that everyone has as a sign of having been baptized by the
Holy Spirit, but is manifested at the congregational level through a message in tongue, to be interpreted.

This gift is given so that the child of God may be profusely edified in his spirit, when many tongues are spoken in
one's personal life.
3. LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION
This gift of the Holy Spirit is manifested in the congregations to interpret the message in tongues that has
preceded it. It is important to point out that it is not a translation of tongues, because a message in tongues can
be short and its interpretation more abundant or vice versa. If anyone is useful in giving messages in tongues, let
him ask the Lord to be his interpreter also.

The more the vessel has the word of the Lord in itself, the more the interpretations are enriched; for the Holy
Spirit gives his messages within the framework of the written word and that is the proof that it is from God.

There are vessels that are not exercised in the gift and give messages that are broken by the voice or by
tears. We must seek excellence, it is for the Lord.

CONCLUSIONS
1) Let us exercise ourselves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, living and walking in the Spirit, so that we may be
useful at all times and in all places.

1 Corinthians 12:7 But to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

NKJ 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me, and I in him, he it
is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

INTRODUCTION
The Lord chose us and then called us to bear fruit according to his purpose (John 15:16). This is to be
achieved by abiding in Him and by the ministry of the indwelling Holy Spirit; for the fruit proceeds from them.
NKJV John 15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear
fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
NKJV Ephesians 5:9 For the fruit of the light is all goodness and righteousness and truth.
NKJV Philippians 1:11 filled with the fruit of righteousness, the fruit that comes through Jesus Christ, to the
glory and praise of God.
NKJV John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the
vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

We must see to it that this fruit remains in us, so that we may live. Dead trees do not bear fruit; likewise,
diseased trees do not bear good fruit.

I- CONDITIONS FOR FRUITING

In order for a person to be fruitful, it is necessary for him to have:

NKJV Luke 8:5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some of it fell by the wayside and was
trampled down; and the birds of the air ate it up.
NKJV Luke 8:6 Some of it fell on the rock, and when it grew up, it withered away, because it had no
moisture.
NKJV Luke 8:7 Another part fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up at the same time and choked it.
NKJV Luke 8:8 And some fell on good soil, and when it grew, it bore fruit a hundredfold." Speaking of these
things, he exclaimed, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

A) EARTH - US
In the parable of the sower, we are the good soil where the seed fell, grew and produced a hundredfold
harvest. The fruit of this harvest is given by hearing the word with an upright and good heart, by retaining it
and by persevering (Luke 8:15).
B) THE SEED - THE WORD
The word of God is the seed that is planted (Luke 8:11). This word should dwell in us richly, teaching and
admonishing one another (Col 3:16). This seed bears fruit in each one at thirty, at sixty or a hundredfold;
depending on each one's commitment to hearing (Mark 4:20).
NKJV Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all

3
6
wisdom with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace to God in your hearts.
NKJV Mark 4:20 And others are those on whom the seed was sown on good soil; who hear the word, accept
it, and bear fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundredfold.

C) GROWTH - DEVELOPMENT
It is necessary for the seed to grow, so that there will be fruit. We should long for unadulterated spiritual milk.
Growth is given by God (1Co 3:6) and neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God
who gives the growth (1Co 3:7).
NKJV 1Peter 2:2 Like newborn babes, desire the unadulterated spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to
salvation;
NKJV 1Corinthians 3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God has given the growth.
NKJV 1Corinthians 3:7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but God, who gives the
increase.

He that is grown shall be as the psalmist said:

NKJV Psalm 1:3 He shall be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither; in all that it does, it prospers.

D) DEFEND SOMEONE - HOLY SPIRIT

The Lord said that when the Holy Spirit came, He would guide us into all truth (John 16:13). Only the children
of God are guided by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14).

NKJV John 16:13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth, for He will not
speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you what is to
come.
NKJV Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

II- MANIFESTATION OF THE FRUIT

NKJV Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faithfulness, NKJV Galatians 5:23 meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

The Bible refers to the fruit, being a collective name and not a series of fruits. We cannot go around picking
and choosing and deciding on differences in quality between these different aspects of the fruit, because they
constitute a single whole and should be contemplated as the normal result of a believer walking in the Spirit. It
is like an orange with nine segments, which are part of a single fruit.

3
7
These nine facets show us that the character of the Christian is not a moral or legalistic righteousness, but the
possession and manifestation of nine graces, gifts or virtues.

A) CHARACTER AS AN INTERNAL STATE

It is the attitude that we maintain in our inner being.
1. LOVE
It is he who enables the child of God to experience not only filial love, but the agape love of God. It is love that
enables us to fulfill God's command to love the enemy (Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 6:27-36). May he transform so
that he no longer desires evil (Luke 9:54) and so that he no longer seeks his own (1 Cor 13:5).

3
8
 NKJV Luke 9:54 When his disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command
fire to come down from heaven and consume them?
NKJV 1 Corinthians 13:5 does not behave unseemly; does not seek his own, is not provoked, does not regard
evil received ;

Love is the perfect bond, it is the one that maintains unity.

NKJV Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of unity.

2. JOY - JOYFUL LOVE

It consists in doing the will and work of the Father (Heb. 10:9). For our Lord Jesus Christ this was a delight,
considering it better than bodily food (John 4:32-34).

NKJV Hebrews 10:9 Then He said, "BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL. He removes the former to
establish the latter.
NKJ John 4:32 But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know.
NKJV John 4:33 Then the disciples said to one another, "Did anyone bring him anything to eat?
John 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to carry out His work.

It is to fulfill with joy the mission to which we have been sent (Matthew 10:5-8).

3. PEACE - RESTING LOVE

The Christian can experience peace, because it was made with God; through the blood of Christ (Isa 53:5;
Col 1:20). We have been justified and have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 5:1). Peace
is that which enables us to live humbly and abundantly, to endure trials (Phil 4:12).

NKJ Isa 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. The
chastisement, for our peace, fell on Him, and by His wounds we have been healed.
NKJV Col 1:20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, both on earth and in heaven, having made
peace through the blood of his cross.
NKJV Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
NKJV Philippians 4:12 I know how to live in poverty, and I know how to live in plenty. In every place and in
every circumstance, I have learned the secret of coping with both fullness and hunger, with both abundance
and want.

B) CHARACTER IN ITS EXPRESSION WITH MEN

It is the attitude we maintain in our relationship with others.

1. PATIENCE - WAITING LOVE

For this facet to manifest itself, it is necessary to undergo trials (Romans 5:3). The word says have great joy
(James 1:2). The result is the same as that of the husbandman, who waits with patience until he receives the
early and latter rain (Jas 5:7).
NKJV Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces
perseverance,
NKJV James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you meet various trials, NKJV James 1:3 knowing that the
testing of your faith produces patience.
NKJV James 5:7 Therefore, brethren, be patient until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the
precious fruit of the earth, patiently awaiting it until he receives the early and late rains.
Patience enables us to bear with one another (Eph 4:2), to inherit the promises (Heb 6:12) and to run the race that
is set before us (Heb 12:1).

NKJV Ephesians 4:2 With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love; NKJV
Hebrews 6:12 that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the

3
9
promises.
NASB Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses around us, let us also lay aside every
weight, and the sin which so easily enshrouds us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

2. BENIGNITY - LOVE THAT UNDERSTANDS

It also refers to goodness, honesty. It is a virtue that is more active than passive and we must keep in mind that it
is not born of weakness, nor is it a manifestation of a lack of strength; on the contrary, it is perfectly controlled
strength.
Barnabas, who was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and faith, went to Saul to help him (Acts 11:22-26). Paul
himself presents himself as a mother caring for her children (1 Thess 2:7).

NKJV Acts 11:24 for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great multitude was added
to the Lord.
NKJV Acts 11:25 And Barnabas went out to Tarsus to seek Saul;
NKJV 1Thessalonians 2:7 But we proved to be gentle among you, as a mother tenderly nurtures her own children.

3. KINDNESS - SHARING LOVE

The Lord affirms that the most praiseworthy servant is the good and faithful servant (Mt 25:21-23). The reward
received was due to the good use made of the talents entrusted to him, but his goodness was manifested in his
performance. The Lord also says that the good man brings good things out of good treasure (Mt 12:35).

NKJV Matthew 25:21 His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a
little, I will put you over a lot. Enter into the joy of your lord."
NKJV Matthew 12:35 A good man brings good things out of good treasure, and an evil man brings evil things out
of evil treasure.

Goodness will manifest itself in the way we conduct ourselves.

NKJV Acts 11:29 Then the disciples, each one according to what he had, determined to send an offering to
minister to the brothers who lived in Judea.

C) CHARACTER IN ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

It is the attitude we maintain before God.

1. FAITH - LOVE THAT BELIEVES

Like the other facets of the fruit, it must be cultivated. It is to believe God (Heb 11:6). We must act in the conviction
that what God has promised us, He will give us. This part of the fruit of the Spirit is discussed in more detail in the
theme of faith.
NKJV Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that he
exists and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

2. MEEKNESS - LOVE THAT ENDURES

It is to be meek and humble (Mt 11:29). The Bible relates it to our spirit (1Co 4:21; Gal 6:1) and that it is
precious before God (1Pe 3:4). Only God is able to discern our spirit, to really know how we feel inside;
whatever our external reaction may be.
NKJV Matthew 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and
you will find rest for your souls.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 4:21 What do you want? That I come to you with a stick, or with love and in a spirit of
meekness?
NKJV Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if anyone is entangled in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore

4
0
such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.
NKJV 1Peter 3:4 but let it be the inward self, with the incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit,
which is precious in the sight of God.

We should be quick to hear and slow to speak and be angry (Jas 1:19,20; Pro 15:1).
NKJV James 1:19 This you know, my beloved brethren. But let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow
to anger;
NKJV James 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
NKJV Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, But a hurtful word stirs up anger.

3. TEMPERANCE - BALANCED LOVE

It refers to self-control, to the balance we must have. When the Christian has no self-control, his testimony will
demonstrate it. The apostle Paul said that all things were lawful for him, but not all things were suitable for
him (1Co 6:12). The Corinthian church had departed from the balance (1 Cor 11:21-22).

1 Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me,
but I will not be swayed by any of them.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 11:21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper first; and one goes hungry and
another is drunk.
NKJV 1Corinthians 11:22 What? Don't you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of
God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not
praise you.

We must have balance in everything we do. An example of this is in the way steel is tempered; it is first
subjected to high temperatures and then passed through water (at low temperatures). If it withstands
temperature changes, it is temperate. The same is asked of the son of God, WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH
THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU; AND IF THROUGH THE RIVERS, THEY WILL NOT FLOOD YOU,
WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, YOU WILL NOT BE BURNED, NOR WILL THE FLAME BURN IN
YOU, this is temperance.

CONCLUSIONS
1. We must abide in Christ in order to have life.
2. we must allow ourselves to be guided and molded by the Holy Spirit, so that we may lead a life that is
consecrated and pleasing to God.
3. With our testimony and our character, we will show the degree of maturity we have.
4. the fruit of the Spirit is God's agape love, expressed in nine facets.

THE RENEWAL OF OUR
MIND
NKJV Ephesians 4:17 This I say and insist in the Lord, that you no longer conduct
yourselves as the Gentiles conduct themselves, in the vanity of their minds,
NKJV Ephesians 4:18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the
life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardness of their heart .
INTRODUCTION
In order for us to truly enjoy a life in Christ, it is necessary for us to be renewed in the Spirit of our mind (Eph
4:23), so that we may know what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Rom 12:2) and thus be
able to walk in the Spirit, without satisfying the desires of the flesh (Gal 5:16).

NKJV Ephesians 4:23 but be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

NKJ Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. NKJV Galatians 5:16 I say
then: Walk in the Spirit, and so you will never gratify the evil desires of the flesh.

I- NOT TO WALK WITH VANITY OF MIND

Paul exhorts us to no longer walk as the other Gentiles, who walk in the vanity of their mind. This means that
even Christians who harden their hearts can lead a life far from God.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ
should not shine upon them (2 Cor. 4:3-4):3-4), for after they knew God through his irrefutable manifestations
in his creations, they did not glorify him as God, nor give thanks to him, but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened (Romans 1:18-32).

NKJV 2 Corinthians 4:3 And if as yet our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
NKJV 2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they do
not see the brightness of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and because they did not approve of taking God into account, God
gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do things that are not fitting and after they lost all sensibility, they gave
themselves over to lasciviousness to commit all kinds of impurity with greediness (eph 4:19).
NKJV Ephesians 4:18 darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the
ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;
NKJV Ephesians 4:19 and they, having become insensitive, gave themselves over to sensuality to commit all
kinds of impurity with greediness.

4
2
Since Adam lost the spiritual battle in the Garden of Eden, the mind of man has been under the programming
of the Evil One. When God created the spirit of man, He made it prefect and programmed by Him and for Him
(Col 1:16), yet with free will to make decisions.
NKJV Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or powers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for
Him. God's communion with man is established through the Spirit (1 Cor 2:14). Therefore, after the fall,
chaos ensues for man; because he dies spiritually, remaining without direct communion with God and at the
mercy of the devil, who begins to reprogram his soul to such an extent that he makes him his slave (1 John
2:16; John 8:34); extending the curse of sin to his body, which begins to die.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the animal man does not perceive the things of the Spirit of God, because they
are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they must be spiritually examined.
NKJV 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
NKJV John 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever practices sin is a slave to sin.

A) THE POWER OF THE MIND

If we consider the human brain as a computer, the mind would be the central part of it, where all the
programs that make it work are concentrated.

All the information that reaches our brain is perceived through our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and
touch. It is immediately stored in some space of that formidable archive that is the memory.

The problem consists then in eliminating the diabolical programming of our mind, so that the Holy Spirit
renews the original program of God in our souls, in a process of sanctification.

B) THE RENEWAL OF THE MIND

Paul found that there was a law in his members, which rebelled against the law of his mind (Rom 7:23 25),
which was a consequence of his former life in the flesh (Rom 7:5); which still did not allow him to live fully
under the rule of the Spirit. However, he expresses with joy that this is possible for those who are in Christ
Jesus, because he has freed us from the law of sin and death (Rom 7:6; 8:1-9).
NKJV Romans 7:23 But I see in my members a different law that fights against the law of my mind and
chains me with the law of sin that is in my members.
NKJV Romans 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
NKJV Romans 7:5 For while we lived in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused through the law were at work
in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
NKJV Romans 7:6 But now, having died to that which held us in bondage, we have been set free from the
law, so that we may serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

It is precious then to put to death in us the passions and desires of the flesh (Col 3:5) without forgetting that
the flesh cannot be killed by the flesh, that is, that it does not depend on our own strength, but on our
submission to the Holy Spirit; working through us (Rom 8:13).
NKJV Colossians 3:5 Therefore put to death what is earthly in your members: fornication, impurity, evil
passions, evil desires, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
NKJV Colossians 3:6 Because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the rebellious.
NKJV Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death
the practices of the flesh, you will live.

That is why we must daily present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, because it is in
our members where the law is found that opposes the law of Christ that is in our mind (Rom 12:1; 7:5,23).
NKJV Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Previously it was necessary to drag the lamb to be slaughtered, first slitting its throat and then burning its
remains to ashes. Our Lord Jesus Christ substituted for us in His perfect sacrifice, shedding the last drop of
His precious blood on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins and then offered it up; that our total atonement

4
3
might be consummated.

For this reason, we now have to voluntarily go up to the altar, since it is a rational worship.

In order to please God it is necessary that we know what His will is for our lives and for that it is necessary
that we renew our understanding (Rom 12:2; Eph 4:22-23). We must put off the old man who is vitiated
according to deceitful desires, as a consequence of our past way of living.

We are to put on the new man, created according to God in righteousness and holiness of truth, who after the
image of him that created him is being renewed unto full knowledge (Col 3:10).
NKJ Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, for you have put off the old man with his practices,
NKJV Colossians 3:10 And you have put on the new garment, which is renewed in knowledge according to
the image of Him who created it.

Only in this way, the diabolical programming that was imprinted in our soul will be eliminated from our mind,
so that in a process of sanctification the Holy Spirit can renew us and lead us to perfection in the knowledge
of God.

CONCLUSIONS
1. It is impossible for one who does not know Christ to know what God's will is. Christ gives life to our spirit
and restores our communion with God.

2. In order to know God's will for our lives, it is necessary to renew our understanding. For this, we must put
to death, through the Holy Spirit, the works of the flesh.

3. All that is in the world: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not from the
Father, but from the world. And the world passes away and its desires, but he who does the will of God
remains forever (1Jn 2:16-17).

4. Let us be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good and perfect will
of God (Rom 12:2).

THE CONSECRATION
NASB Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good
and acceptable and perfect.

INTRODUCTION
In these times, in the life of every genuine believer of the Lord, the question arises in his mind and heart:
What is consecration; because the Lord continually calls us to it by His word, using powerfully the ministries
established by Him. The most general answers that are usually said within the Lord's people are: to set
oneself apart for God, to love God in such a way that one does not sin, to be very active in the work of the
Lord and automatically to be consecrated (to attend all the services), to have power from God.

We are also admonished with the phrase "consecrate yourself to the Lord", but the problem is that it is not
entirely clear what consecration to a holy, all-powerful and great in mercy God really means.

Consecration is very important, because it is the part that is ours to perform and the Lord sanctifies; for
without holiness no one will see the Lord (Heb 12:14). We have been called by the Lord to sanctification
(1Thess4:7), which works in us by the power within us Hallelujah! Who is our guide and comforter, our dear
companion the Holy Spirit (Eph 3:16).
NKJV Hebrews 12:14 Seek peace with everyone and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
NKJV 1Thessalonians 4:7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to sanctification.
NKJV Ephesians 3:16 that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with
power through His Spirit in the inner man;

I - IS A WORK OF GOD

It should be emphasized that it will not be our much to do, but what the Lord will work or do in us. As this is for
the soul, since the spirit of man is already united to that of Christ; the problem, so to speak or to point out, is in
our soul.
Our many works are not our own, for we see clearly that every good work has been previously prepared by
the Lord (Eph 2:10). It is the Lord who works in us to do what is good with aptitude (Heb 13:21), for it is He
who works in us to will and to do (Phil 2:13), thanks be to God, for it is He who has called us and who will do
it.
NKJV Hebrews 13:21 Make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well
pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
NKJV Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do the good works which
God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
NKJV Philippians 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do, to accomplish his good pleasure.

II - OUR SHARE
Before the call of the Lord and knowing that all His promises in Him are yes, our responsibility is to obey (2
Corinthians 1:20). When the word "by means of" is used, it denotes a walk and the consecration will have as
its fruit "the walk in the spirit"; but this is the end. It is in the obedience and in what must be done to obey,
where is what prevents us from living the consecration that God demands of us. The Lord is not an unjust
God, who asks us for something we cannot give. For to this end he has given us Jesus Christ and with him all
things (restoration of our souls).
NKJV 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God are "yes" in him; and therefore also through him we say
"amen" to God, to his glory through us.

Therefore, it is vital that our feet stand firm on the rock that is Christ and that we know His promises, knowing
that He is able to sustain us and keep us from falling.
It is necessary to change our attitude towards the things that hinder us, understanding that our Lord is Lord of
all and that nothing escapes his control. All the circumstances, the dilemmas in our soul and our downfalls
only serve to show us the need we have for help.
A consecrated man is one who knows that if the Lord does not help him, he will not be able to please Him; but
who is willing to follow Christ. This is to take up your cross every day and follow Him above all things. Even
when we are tempted, the Lord shows us there is a weak area and He will give us the way out but it is in our
decision to obey or not to obey God's voice.

III - DO IT FOR LOVE
To love Christ, it is necessary to believe what he says (1 John 4:19). This guarantees that we can love,
because everyone who loves knows God (1 John 4:7). It is necessary to know him in order to love him. Let's
look at an example: when you met, saw or heard about the one who is now your wife; I love her. But with the
passing of the years of living together, of knowing each other, which is in the dimension of the word when it
says Adam knew Eve (Gen 4:1). He realizes that he loves her more now, because he knows her, or vice
versa.
NKJV 1 John 4:19 We love, because he first loved us.
NKJV 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God
and knows God.

Therefore, in order to obey Christ out of love, it is necessary to know him; the intimacy that each one can
have with the Lord is very important. That is why consecration is more than a knowledge (logos), it is a way of
life (rhema).

A) RENEW OUR MIND

It is allowing the Lord to change our thoughts for His. It is to love his word and to hasten to put it into practice.

B)CHANGE OF ATTITUDE
Convert to the Lord in all areas of our life.

C) TO BELIEVE THAT THE LORD HAS A PURPOSE FOR US

It is to know that all his thoughts for us are good, and that even being led into the wilderness, he will do it to
speak to our hearts (Hosea 2:14). Even if we are caught in the net, he will bless us (Ps 66:8-12).
NKJV Hosea 2:14 "Nevertheless, behold, I will persuade her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to
her heart. NKJV Psalm 66:12You made men ride upon our heads. We went through fire and water, but then
you took us out in abundance.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the best example of a totally consecrated man: knowing that after the cross he would
bring many children to glory, he suffered it. We can also see His ultimate example of obedience and His holy
attitude before the Father at Gethsemani, when He said: ABBA FATHER. (Mark 14:32-42).
NKJV Mark 14:35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible,
that hour might pass away from him.
NKJV Mark 14:36 And he said, "Abba, Father! For you all things are possible; take this cup away from me,
but not what I want, but what you want.

D) TO ACCEPT THE LORD'S WILL OVER OURS

The Lord Himself said: the flesh is weak although the spirit is willing. That is why he tells us that his power is
perfected in our weakness, because it is necessary to understand and know what awaits us in Christ; the
hope of glory.

E) OFFER OURSELVES TO THE LORD

Our God is a God who hides himself and is found only by those who seek him. That is why it is necessary to
go up to the mountain of the Lord to offer ourselves voluntarily (Rom 12:1). We must do so consciously,
because the Lord will do what He has determined to do, for all souls are His (Eze. 18:4). Now let us ask
ourselves, in whose hands will we be better off, in the Lord's or in our own? It is better to present ourselves
before Him as we are, because God cannot be mocked and He will change us.
NKJV Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; both the soul of the father and the soul of the son are mine. The
soul that sinneth, it shall die

The Lord does not have and does not want puppets, but men and women who consciously approach Him, to
make Him Lord of their lives. This is to accept the lordship of Christ.

 F) CONSIDER OURSELVES AND LIVE AS PILGRIMS
This entails knowing that our life is like the grass, which blooms in the morning and in the afternoon is no
more. Understand that our life on this earth is like a breath (1 Pet 1:24). This will help us to be always
expectant of what the Lord will make new in us, for he has promised that all things will be made new (2Co
5:17). This should cause us to live our remaining days on earth for the Lord. This is to long to return to our
God, from whence we have come (Phil 3:20).
NKJV 1Peter 1:24 For: All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of grass. The grass withers,
and the flower falls off;
NKJV 1Peter 1:25 but the word of the Lord endures forever. This is the word of the gospel that has been
preached to you.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.
NKJV Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from whence also we eagerly wait for the Savior, the
Lord Jesus Christ.

G) NEVER TRUSTING OR RELYING ON OUR OWN PRUDENCE

We must not be like Samson who trusted more in what God had given him than in the One who fills all things
and gives all things. The Lord speaks to the church of Ephesus, reproaching them for having left their first love
(Rev 2:4).
This shows us that without Christ we cannot stand (John 15:5).
NKJV Revelation 2:4 "Yet I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
NKJV John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit. But
apart from me, you can do nothing.

CONCLUSIONS
1. Let us bring all our burdens, doubts, fears, home, work and service to Christ, into his holy presence; asking
him to do his will in our lives and being willing for the Lord to work in us, according to his heart. We must
pray to him to make us understood and to let our people see him.

2. Let us go up the mountain as Abraham went up, in one hand the torch (type of the spirit) and in the other the
knife or sword (type of the word). It is the hour when the Father is looking for us. Let us go up to the altar of
God and we will find rest for our souls.

DEVOTION OF THE SOUL
NKJV Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so that you obey
its evil desires.
NKJV Romans 6:13 And do not present your members as instruments of
unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead,
and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
NKJV Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, since you are not under
law but under grace.

INTRODUCTION
We can define devotion as the readiness to do something. Then let us deduce that the devotion of the soul is
the prompt disposition of the soul to the will of the Spirit.
Due to sin, the soul rebelled against God and degenerated to such a degree that it lost all contact with its
creator.
We will study how important it is for a born again Christian to dispose his soul to the will of the Holy Spirit who
was delegated the function of guiding us to all truth and thus to reach the stature of the perfect man to obtain
the fullness of Christ.
Reading in Chapter five of the book of Romans we can realize that our soul could not have any disposition to
seek God because it was a slave of sin; analogy of marriage (Rom 7:1-6; 6:16-23).
NKJV Romans 7:1 Brethren (I speak to those who know the law), do you not know that the law has dominion
over a man as long as he lives?
NKJV Romans 6:17 But thanks be to God that, though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that
form of teaching to which you gave yourselves;
NKJV Romans 6:18 and once you have been freed from sin, you have become servants of righteousness.

Therefore Christ, who is the ultimate expression of God's love for us, justifying us by becoming a sinner
without being a sinner and bearing our guilt in his sacrifice, delivers us from sin, thus restoring to our souls the
disposition to serve him out of gratitude.
Thus we have as a result; reconciliation or peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).
Just as by the disobedience of the first Adam, our soul became disobedient and indisposed to the will of God.
So also, by the obedience of Christ, the last Adam, our soul, within the new birth, must be disposed to
obedience; this being what pleases God.
I - OBEDIENCE I WANT AND NOT SACRIFICE
Now our soul must be consecrated or disposed to the life in the Spirit to which God has called us to rejoice in
his presence (ro 6).
NKJV Romans 6:6 And we know that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that we should no longer be slaves of sin; NKJV Romans 6:7 for he who has died has been justified
from sin.

He will provoke our soul, but it must be considered dead to sin because it is no longer due to him, but to the
one who redeemed it from its iniquity, who brought it out of the city of curses and brings it into the house of

4
8
bread (Ruth 1:7). NKJV Ruth 1:6 Then Naomi arose with her daughters-in-law, to return from the plains of
Moab, for she heard there that the Lord had visited his people to give them bread.
NKJV Ruth 1:7 And he went out with his two daughters-in-law from the place where he was, and they set out
on their journey to return to the land of Judah.

The old man was reduced to impotence by Christ, now our loves are with Him, who produces fruits of
abundant life.
We are free from sin because Christ paid the price of our freedom with his blood and we become his slaves
out of love (Rom 6:15-23).
The carnal man is the one who cannot have devotion to the Spirit, because he cannot be under the law of the
Spirit. He who does not allow himself to be guided by the Spirit cannot be subject to Christ. That is why our
soul must be sensitive to the Spirit (as the earth labored for the husbandman) to produce fruits of the spirit
(Rom 7).

CONCLUSIONS
1. Let us no longer present the will of our soul to the criteria of the present time, but let us see to it that our
soul is in the steps of restoration; and thus let us verify what God requires of us.
2. that we, as priests, may minister in obedience and sacrifice as the lamb in burnt offering
our soul in a pleasing odor to God, which is our rational worship.
3. As kings, no longer being ruled by sin, but ruling our members of this world, we are no longer ruled by
sin, but ruling our members of this world.

destroys, but leads us to freedom.

REPENTANCE AND
CONVERSION
NKJV Acts 3:19 Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of
the Lord.

INTRODUCTION
Repentance and conversion in the life of the genuine believer never cease to be, for they are acts that are
part of the process of regeneration in the hands of the Holy Spirit. Mistakenly it has been given its importance
only when the person comes to the knowledge of Christ, losing the dimension and the need that should
prevail in the heart of the children of God, to turn continually to their Lord and Savior. Therefore, it is
necessary to study the elements that, for didactic reasons, must be separated to show what true repentance
is and, consequently, conversion.

I - REPENTANCE
Below is a graphic, which will allow us to visualize what has been expressed, configuring it to the first act, that
is, the genuine repentance provoked by a touch of the Holy Spirit in the conscience of man.
To understand genuine repentance, let us look at what the word of the Lord tells us (2Co 7:8-10).
NKJV 2 Corinthians 7:8 For though I caused you sorrow by the letter, it does not grieve me, though it did
grieve me at the time; for I see that the letter caused you sorrow only for a little while.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that you were sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to
repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to God, that you should suffer no harm from us. NKJV 2
Corinthians 7:10 For the sorrow that is according to God worketh repentance to salvation, whereof there is
no mourning; but the sorrow of the world degenerates into death.

We must first clarify that every man possesses a thread of faith, which when activated by a touch of the Holy
Spirit -interpreted as a wound in the conscience- (Acts 2:37); produces repentance, which consists of:
NKJV Acts 2:37 When they heard this, they were deeply grieved and said to Peter and the other apostles,
"Brothers, what shall we do?

 SAVED - CONVERTED

A) THE KNOWLEDGE
When a person knows that what he does is wrong, because every man has a conscience. This knowledge
leads to the next phase.

B) THE CONVICTION
It is when man is certain that he has sinned, imprisoned by his sin. God declares that there is none righteous,
not even one (Rom. 3:10). Their deeds are continually sinful as the Lord declares (Rom 3:15-16). It is here
that false repentance arises, whose fundamental characteristic is a simple remorse in the mind of man,
because the Holy Spirit has not intervened. Here are some examples:

NKJV Romans 3:10 as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
NKJV Romans 3:15 His feet are swift to shed blood;
NKJV Romans 3:16 there is ruin and misery in their ways.

5
1
NKJV Romans 3:17 They knew not the way of peace;
NKJV Romans 3:18 there is no fear of God before their eyes.

1. FALSE REPENTANCE FOR DEATH

Judas was aware of the evil of his actions. He was convinced of his guilt, but the only thing he could do was to
return the money, believing that in this way he was clearing his guilt, in spite of doing so, he received no
peace in his soul and his only solution was to put himself to death; for it was written that he would be lost,
since he was a son of perdition (Matthew 27:3).
NKJV Matthew 27:3 Then Judas, who had betrayed Him, when he saw that He was condemned, felt remorse
and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
NKJV Matthew 27:4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. But they said, "What does it matter
to us? It's your business!
NKJV Matthew 27:5 Then he, throwing the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, turned aside, went and hanged
himself.

2. FALSE REPENTANCE OF MAN FOR PUNISHMENT

He in whom there is remorse, his only purpose is to avoid being punished (1Sam 15:24-25). It also applies
when a child does it alone to avoid being punished by his parents. This proves that there is no conversion and
the same action is committed again.
NKJV 1Samuel 15:24 And Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of
the Lord and your words by fearing the people and obeying their voice. Please forgive me my sin, NKJV
1Samuel 15:25 and come back to me so that I may worship the Lord.

C) CONVICTION
It is at this stage that the Holy Spirit acts. Man knows and accepts his guilt and sees the need for a savior. It is
here that the pain and sadness produced by the Word of the Lord is provoked; passing over remorse. At this
moment man has reached genuine repentance, which in his concept is a change of mind and heart with
respect to sin, so that he turns away from it. Thus it is fulfilled that the law kills a man (Rom 7:9-10), since the
law is holy, just and good; faith coming to man, which leads to the redemption of his soul (Rom 10:17).
NKJV Romans 7:9 So I once lived without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
NKJV Romans 7:10 And I found that the very commandment which was unto life was unto death unto me;
NKJV Romans 10:17 Therefore faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

II - CONVERSION
It is the act in which, under the impulse of the Holy Spirit, man turns to the Lord, leaving his old life, his sin, to
receive the new life and forgiveness of sins. Conversion is believing what the Lord demanded when He began
His manifested ministry on earth (Mark 1:15). At the moment of conversion, a fundamental fact arises, which
is confession; declaring oneself guilty and asking the Lord for forgiveness for one's sins. The Bible declares
(Romans 10:9).
NKJV Mark 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the
gospel!"
NKJV Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe in your heart
that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

It should also be taken into account that repentance and conversion are acts that not only take place in the life
of the believer when our Lord is revealed to him as his Savior, because we are also aware that we still sin
before the Lord and therefore those who already know him, the Lord admonishes them (Prov 28:13), we have
seen that to reach this confession a genuine repentance is necessary, so let's see what the book of
Deuteronomy tells us if you convert (Deut 30:2), we can notice that he is saying to his people
Israel.
NKJV Pro 28:13He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will
obtain mercy.

5

NKJV Deuteronomy 30:2 if you return, you and your children, to the Lord your God and obey His voice with
all your heart and with all your soul, according to all that I command you today,
NKJV Deuteronomy 30:3 then the LORD your God will also restore you from captivity. He will have mercy
on you and gather you again from all the peoples to whom the Lord your God has scattered you.

In the message to the churches, the Lord admonishes them to turn to God. That is why we must consider the
importance of repentance and conversion before the Lord to prevent our hearts from being hardened, but
rather, hearts disposed to the Lord (Rev. 2:5; 16; 3:3).
NKJV Revelation 2:5 Remember, therefore, from whence you have fallen. Repent! And do the first works.
Otherwise, I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place, if you do not repent.
NKJV Revelation 2:16 Therefore, repent! Or else I will come to you quickly and fight against them with the
sword of my mouth.
NKJV Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore what you have received and heard. Save it and repent. If you are
not watchful, I will come as a thief; you will never know at what hour I will come to you.

CONCLUSIONS
1. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom; fools despise wisdom and instruction. NKJV Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
NKJV Proverbs 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget or turn away from the words of my mouth.
NKJV Proverbs 4:6 Do not forsake her, and she will watch over you; love her, and she will protect you.

2. repentance must be sought and not only remorse as a result of having sinned.
3. It is different to be convinced of the need for Christ, than to be converted to Christ.

GLORIFICATION
NKJV Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from whence also we eagerly wait for a
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, NKJV Philippians 3:21 who will transform the body of our low estate
into conformity to the body of His glory, by the exercise of the power which He has even to subdue
all things to Himself.

INTRODUCTION
This is the last of the acts of regeneration (Matthew 19:28; Titus 3:5) that the child of God will experience,
because it means having reached the stature of the perfect man, which is the stature of the first Adam,
surpassing it and reaching the stature of the fullness of Christ, which is the stature of the last Adam. We
understand then that what we will have in this last step of regeneration, will be the Glorification or
Transformation of our present body, to a body with the same characteristics of the body of Christ when he
resurrected and ascended Glorified, a body clothed in light, immortal, incorruptible, subject only to the laws of
God and no longer to those of this world.
No one will be caught up in the rapture of the church unless he is first transformed.

NKJV Ephesians 4:13-14 until we all come to the unity of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God,
to the condition of a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we may no
longer be children, tossed to and fro by waves, tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of
men, by the deceitful devices of error;
It is important to note that in order to be transformed it is necessary to be constant, persevering, it is
necessary to stop being a child, because children are carried away by any wind of doctrine and can easily be
deceived, only the mature ones will be taken away.

I - THE REVELATION OF THE SONS OF GOD

NKJV Romans 8:18-22 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the deep longing of creation is to anxiously await the
revelation of the children of God. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own free will, but
because of him who subjected it, in the hope that the creation itself will also be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation at once
groans and suffers labor pains until now.

When man sinned, all of creation came under the curse and degenerated, losing the beauty that God had
given it. But Paul calls the act of glorification the revelation of the sons of God, because it will be the moment
when the sons will be called to freedom from the slavery of corruption. That is why he says that the whole
creation groans and suffers labor pains waiting for the revelation of the sons of God, because God subjected
the whole creation to this hope. So it means that the earth as a womb must give birth to the Sons of God for

5
4
the benefit of the universe.

II - REDEMPTION OF OUR BODY

NKJV Romans 8:23-25 And not only the creation, but we also, who are the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan
within ourselves, awaiting adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in hope; but a
hope that is seen is not hope, for who continues to hope for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we
do not see, with perseverance we await it.

Glorification also means the redemption of our body. It is the hope that we have and for which we still groan in
our inner man, because with this act we will be clothed with our heavenly dwelling. It is interesting that Paul
lets us see that we should groan and wait until we are adopted as sons, but weren't we sons since we
believed? Yes, but here he is talking about our body, because our spirit certainly has already been adopted, it
already has life and is born again, but it is necessary that our body also be born to its new glorified nature of
eternity and incorruptibility, that is why he says that we are saved in hope of what, that our body also be
preserved to be glorified.

NKJV 2 Corinthians 5:1-2 For we know that if the earthly tent which is our dwelling place is destroyed, we
have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For, indeed, in this abode
we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly habitation;
Our desire should be that God considers us worthy of not having to abandon our present abode (death of the
body), but to remain in it (not to die) and to be placed in the heavenly one (Glorification).

NKJV 2 Corinthians 5:3-5 and once clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan
with heaviness, for we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be absorbed into
life. And the one who prepared us for this very thing is God, who gave us the Spirit as a guarantee. When
man dies, he is undressed, how can we explain this? Let us remember that we are spirits with a body,
therefore, the body is the clothing of the spirit, that is to say that when the body dies, the spirit remains without
clothing, naked, until the day of resurrection and glorification, unlike those who do not experience death and
are raptured alive, these spirits will not have their clothing taken away, but by God.Unlike those who do not
experience death and are caught up alive, these spirits will not have their garment taken away, but on the
contrary will have another one put on them (glorification) in such a way that their body will be immortal and
incorruptible.

III - VICTORY OVER DEATH

NKJV 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. And when this
corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be fulfilled the
word that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory! Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting? For the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to
God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

From here a great truth that brings us hope, those who die in Christ, in reality only sleep, because they will
rise one day at the sound of the final trumpet, so that together with us, we will all be transformed into the
glorified image of the Son of God. At this point we will be able to enjoy the sweetness of victory because we
will have defeated the oldest enemy of God, death, just as Jesus also defeated it by being raised from the
dead.

At the glorification, our bodies will undergo an amazing transformation because: the mortal will be clothed with
immortality, for those of us who are alive, and the corruptible will be clothed with incorruptibility, for those of us
who are dead. When this happens, our victory will have devoured death and neither law, death, nor sin will

5
5
have power over us, because we will have been given the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

IV - ANCESTRAL GLORIFICATION

NKJV Hebrews 11:39-40 And all these, though they received a good testimony by faith, did not receive the
fulfillment of the promise, lest they should be perfected apart from us; for God had provided something
better for us.
What a perfect work of Christ, for even those who died before Christ was offered and resurrected, even
Abraham, David, Moses and all those who lived in obedience and seeking God since the fall of Adam, even
they will be resurrected and glorified, because they remained faithful to the hope of the promise that a
redeemer would come and set them free.

CONCLUSIONS
1. When we attain glorification, our bodies will be like Christ's when he rose from the dead, with flesh and
bones but without blood.
2. Glorification will be attained by both those who have died and those who remain alive (1Co 15:51-52)
because it will mean having attained perfection (Heb 11:39-40), and this we must attain together. That is
why the dead will rise first and then those of us who are left will be transformed and together we will
meet the Lord.
NKJV 1Thessalonians 4:15-18 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and
remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead
in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we be with the Lord forever. Therefore comfort one another
with these words.

3. The Lord has given us a guarantee which is the Holy Spirit, who will operate transforming the body of the
dead (Rom 8:11), just as He operated in Jesus Christ and will transform the body of the living (2Co 5:4-
5), so that together we may be glorified.

NKJV Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the same Spirit
who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells
in you.

CHRISTIAN FREEDOM
1 Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are
lawful for me, but I will not be dominated by any.
NKJV Romans 14:22 The faith that you have, have it according to your own conviction before God.
Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

INTRODUCTION
True Christian freedom is that which we can live subject to the Holy Spirit. This freedom is manifested in the
believer when he can subject his soul to the commands of the Holy Spirit, which are not literally written in the
Bible. Allowing in our lives the doing of our Lord, assures us to reach the necessary maturity so that we do not
seek to please ourselves (Rom 15:1), but rather, may be granted to have the same mind toward one another,
according to Christ Jesus (Rom 15:5), so that with one voice we may glorify the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 8:9-13)
NKJ Romans 15:1 Therefore we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please
ourselves.
NKJV Romans 15:5-6 And may the God of patience and comfort grant you to have the same mind toward one
another according to Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

NKJV 1 Corinthians 8:9-13 But take heed lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the
weak. For if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, sitting at table in a temple of idols, will not his
conscience, if he is weak, be stimulated to eat what is sacrificed to idols? And by your knowledge shall he
that is weak be lost, the brother for whom Christ died. And so, by sinning against the brethren and
wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food causes my brother to
stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to stumble.
I - IT IS NECESSARY TO BE A SLAVE TO
CHRIST
This freedom is sometimes misunderstood and misused, because it comes to believe that everyone is free to
do as he pleases. The fact that we are free should not be interpreted to mean that we have no law, for we
have the law of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that one is a slave of that which has conquered him (2 Pet
2:19) and if Christ has conquered us, we will be slaves who stay at home out of love and thus enjoy true
freedom. NKJV 2Peter 2:19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to corruption, for
one is a slave to that which has overcome him..
II - EACH ONE WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE
R60 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive
the things done in the body, according to what he has done in the body, whether good or bad.
The word tells us that we should not judge our brethren by their food, their clothing, or whether they keep days
or not; but rather that we should accept the weak in the faith, not to judge their opinions, but to bear them up
and build them up on the foundation which is Christ, for each one will stand before the judgment seat of Christ

(Rom 14:10).
NKJV Romans 14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or also, you, why do you look down on your
brother? For we shall all appear before the judgment seat of God.
The spiritual one judges (1Co 2:15). It would seem that there is a contradiction, but we must know that the
spiritual person in judging will be ready to be useful in the hands of the Holy Spirit, to lift the fallen, to support
the weak or to guide the blind; for that is why he is spiritual.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 2:15 But the spiritual man judges everything, whereas he is judged by no one.

III - DO NOT BE A STUMBLING BLOCK

May your freedom not become a stumbling block to cause the weak to fall (1Co 8:9-13), it is here where it
becomes relevant that if you have faith you should have it for yourself (Rom 14:22). Otherwise, we would be
committing sin against Christ when we wound the conscience of the weak.
NKJV Romans 14:22 The faith that you have, have it toward yourself before God. Blessed is he who does not
condemn himself by what he approves.

IV - THE RENEWAL OF OUR THOUGHTS

This frees us from prejudices (Titus 1:15) and complexes that will allow us to relate to the Body of Christ in all
freedom. The Lord is right when he tells us (John 8:32); and that "he will make you" shows us that it is a
process, so let us not bring frustration into our lives but rather let us give thanks to the Lord who teaches us
what is wrong with us, for he is leading us to true freedom.
NKJV Titus 1:15-16 To those who are pure, all things are pure; but to the impure and unbelieving nothing is
pure, for even their minds and consciences are corrupt. They profess to know God, but by their deeds they
deny him; they are abominable, disobedient, and reprobate to every good work. NKJV John 8:32 and you
will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

V - THAT WHICH DOES NOT PROCEED FROM FAITH IS SIN

(Romans 14:23) this will lead us to examine our walk and it will be by the Holy Spirit, which the Bible tells us is
who will guide us into all truth, that as we grow in the image of the Son in us, which is what we were
predestined for, will be the degree of freedom we have in Him.
NKJV Romans 14:23 But he who doubts about it is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat in faith. For
whatever does not come from faith is sin.

CONCLUSIONS
1. To give ourselves for Christ's sake to be his slaves, for atthatformwe will be really free.
2. know that none of us live for ourselves same nifor our delightsnowthat none
of us dies to himself; for if we live to the Lord we live and if we die (Rom 14:7-8).
3. Every man shall give an account of himself to God (Rom 14:12).
4. The Lord can only be pleased by faith
5. Let us not be stumbling blocks
6. Let us renew our thoughts

TITHES AND OFFERINGS
NKJV 1 Chronicles 29:14 For who am I, and what are my people, that we may spontaneously offer
such things as these, being all yours, and that of what we have received at your hand, we give to
you?
NKJV Luke 8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went about from city to city and from village
to village, preaching and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. The twelve went with him,
NKJV Luke 8:2 and also certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary,
called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

5
8
NKJV Luke 8:3 Joanna, the wife of Cuzah, Herod's steward; Susanna, and many others. They served
them with their goods.

INTRODUCTION
Currently there are people who do not agree with tithing, because they believe that it was only for the old
covenant; but the whole Bible teaches about tithes and offerings. Through this study we will see some
principles on this subject.

TITHE: from the Greek decatos meaning tenth part.

TENTH: to give a tenth of the income received. In the old covenant, tithing was done with livestock, land
products and others (Deut 14:22).
NKJV Deuteronomy 14:22 You shall surely tithe all the produce of your seed, which the field yields every
year.

I - THE TITHE
A) FIRST PRINCIPLE: THE TITHE BELONGS TO GOD

1. All things belong to Him (Ps 24:1).

2. From what we have received from his hand we give him (1Cro 29:11-12).
3. The tithe is to be brought into the house of God (Mal 3:10).
NKJV Malachi 3:10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and prove me
now in this, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a
blessing until there is no end.

4. It is not right for us to administer the tithe personally, or to give it to whomever we want, or to invest it
in something else. It is the Lord's

B) SECOND PRINCIPLE: THE TITHE HAS VALIDITY IN THIS ERA

1. Abraham tithed to Melchizedek (Gen 14:20; Heb 7:5).

NKJV Genesis 14:20 Blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered your enemies into your hands." And
Abram gave him a tithe of all.
NKJV Hebrews 7:5 Certainly those descendants of Levi who have received the priesthood are commanded
according to the law to receive tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, even though they too are
descendants of Abraham.
NKJV Hebrews 7:8-9 Here men who die receive tithes, while there the one about whom it is testified that he
lives receives them. And so to speak, in the person of Abraham also Levi, the one who receives the tithes,
gave the tithe.

2. As children of Abraham by faith, we must practice his works. If Abraham tithed, we must tithe.
NKJV Galatians 3:7 Therefore know that those who are based on faith are children of Abraham.
NKJV John 8:39 They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, "Since you are
Abraham's children, do the works of Abraham.

3. The Lord came to fulfill the law, not to abolish it, and He fulfilled all of it.
NKJV Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to
abrogate, but to fulfill.

4. The Lord did not abrogate the tithe, but criticized the spirit in which it was practiced; since it set aside
justice and love for God. Both must be done.
NKJV Luke 11:42 Woe to you Pharisees! For ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, but ye pass over the
judgment and the love of God. It is necessary to do these things, without overlooking those things.

C) THIRD PRINCIPLE: WE TITHE BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN BLESSED

5
9
 1. There are those who ask for blessings in order to tithe, but we must do so because we have already
been blessed.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, in
whom there is no change and no shadow of turning.

2. They don't give because they don't have, but they don't have because they don't give.
3. It is more blessed to give than to receive.
NKJV Acts 20:35 In everything I have shown you that by so laboring it is necessary to support the weak, and
to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, who said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

4. We must tithe where we receive spiritual food.

NKJV Romans 15:27 For it seemed good to them, and they are debtors to them; for if the Gentiles have been
made partakers of their spiritual goods, they also ought to serve them with their material goods.

D) FOURTH PRINCIPLE: WITH WHAT SPIRIT OR INTENTION IS TITHED

1. JACOB: for interest, exchange or business, if you give me I give you.

NKJV Genesis 28:20-22 Jacob also vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and keep me in this journey
that I am taking, if he will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, and I return in peace to my father's
house, the Lord will be my God. This stone which I have set up for a memorial shall be a house of God, and of
all that you give me I will surely set aside a tithe for you.

2. MOISES: by imposition, by law.

NKJV Deuteronomy 14:22 "You shall surely give a tithe of all the produce of your seed that the field yields
year by year.

3. FARISEOS: for vainglory.

NKJV Luke 18:11-12 The Pharisee stood and prayed with himself in this way: 'God, I thank thee that I am not
as other men are: thieves, unjust, adulterers, nor even as this publican. I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all
that I possess.'

4. ABRAHAM: for love (Gen 14:20).

NKJV Hebrews 7:6 But he, whose genealogy is not reckoned among them, received tithes from Abraham and
blessed him who had the promises.

E) FIFTH PRINCIPLE: TITHING IS A BLESSING

This blessing is primarily on the spiritual plane, but also on the material plane (Mal 3:10).
1. There will be spiritual and material nourishment
2. God will open the windows of heaven and pour out blessing to overflowing, not directly because of
what is given, but because of the obedience and spirit in which it is given.
3. He will rebuke the devourer. Curses of poverty can be broken.

II - THE OFFERINGS
They are unlinked to the tithe. It is something extra or additional.
OFFER: special grace to give and offer, whether one has enough or not. It is a product of our redemption.
Fruit of our faith in Christ.

There was one widow of whom the Lord said that she had cast more than all.
NKJV Mark 12:42-44 and a poor widow came and threw in two mites, which are equivalent to one quadrant.
He called his disciples to him and said to them, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all
those who were put into the ark. For all have cast out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has cast
in all that she had, her whole livelihood.

6
0
The Macedonian brethren, even in their deep poverty, gave according to their strength and beyond their
strength.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 8:2-3 that in great trial of tribulation, the abundance of their joy and their extreme
poverty abounded in the riches of their generosity. For I bear witness that they have spontaneously
given according to their strength, and even beyond their strength,

They begged the apostle Paul to give them the privilege of participating (2Co 8:4).
NKJV 2 Corinthians 8:4 asking us with much entreaty to grant them the grace to share in the help for the
saints.

A) ATTITUDES OF THE OFFEROR

1. To give oneself to the Lord first.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 8:5 And overcoming our expectation, they gave themselves first of all to the Lord and to
us, by the will of God.
He who has given himself to the Lord first, will not find it difficult to give material things. Money is
a means not an end. Giving is a fruit of our faith in Christ.

2. Willingness. Not reluctantly or out of obligation, but as the Spirit directs.

NKJV 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 Let each one give as he purposeth in his heart, not grudgingly or under
compulsion: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye
may abound in every good work, always having all sufficiency in all things;

O With liberality
NKJV Romans 12:8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with
diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

O Not with sadness or out of necessity

O It should not only be wanted, but done.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 8:11-12 Now therefore, bring the matter to completion, that as you were ready to will, so
you may be ready to perform according to what you have. Because if one's will is first disposed, one accepts
according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.
B) DIFFERENT WAYS OF OFFERING

1. Local or congregational offering. That which we give in worship (1 Cor 16:1-2). It is administered by
the ministries, according to the wisdom that God has given it (2Co 8:10-20).
NKJV 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also do as I commanded the
churches of Galatia. On the first day of the week, let each of you lay by him in store at home, treasuring up
in proportion as he is prospering, so that when I come there will be no need to take up offerings.

2. From congregation to minister. They give spiritual food, it is right to supply their material needs (Rom
15:27; 2Co 9:11-14).
NKJV Philippians 4:15-16 You also know, O Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel when I left
Macedonia, no church took part with me in giving and receiving, but you only. For even to Thessalonica you
sent for my needs again and again.

3. Brother to brother. We should also be concerned about others (Phil 2:4; stg2:15-16).
NKJV James 2:15-16 If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in
peace, be warmed and filled," but does not give them what is necessary for the body, what good is it?

4. From congregation to congregation. From Macedonia to Achaia they sent an offering for the poor of
Jerusalem (Rom 16:25). The abundance of one congregation made up for the scarcity of another.
NKJV 2 Corinthians 8:14 but that there may be equality. At this time your abundance will make up for what
they lack, so that their abundance may also make up for what you lack, in order that there may be equality;

6
1
CONCLUSIONS
1. The tithe is 10% of what is received, no more and no less.
2. It is not a Jewish custom, because Abraham tithed and he was not a Jew, he was a Chaldean.
3. It is not only old testamentary, because the Lord Himself said that tithing was to be done, and in the letter
to the Hebrews stipulates that it is a practice for all times, inasmuch as the one who received tithes from
the hand of Abraham is one who is alive to this day.
4. The tithe is not collected, the tithe is deposited in the storehouse voluntarily, according to the recognition
of God's authority and provision.
5. The offering is voluntary, it is not by obligation, and there are no stipulated percentages or amounts, it
can be given to the church, to the ministers, to the needy sheep themselves.
6. All tithes and offerings must be collected by a minister on behalf of God, and have a covering that
answers for it.
7. (Luke 15:8-10) 10 drachmas, the tithe is linked with repentance because it is evidence that we are not
attached to material things. What happened when the woman lost the drachma: first
lit a lamp (the word), second: the house is swept (ministration), third: I diligently seek (constancy)

THE COVENANTS
NKJV Hebrews 8:6 But now Jesus has attained a priestly ministry all the more excellent because he
is the mediator of a higher covenant, which has been established on higher promises.
NKJV Hebrews 8:7 For if the first covenant had been without blemish, no place would have been
sought for a second.
INTRODUCTION
Throughout the Bible we can see that God has established a legal means of relating to man, thus respecting
man's identity as His creation. This means are the covenants, which have been individual or collective; where
God establishes the rules to maintain the good relationship.

The word covenant is translated from the Greek: DIATHEKE and the Hebrew BERIT which is sometimes also
translated as covenant or testament, and implies the majority responsibility for one of the two parties, in this
case, it is God who assumes says the word, if we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny
Himself (2tim2:13); moreover He assumes the responsibility to finish the work He once began in us (Rom
8:28-29).
NKJV 2 Timothy 2:13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
NKJV Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Two kinds of covenants are seen in the Bible: individual and God-made.

I - INDIVIDUAL COVENANTS BETWEEN PERSONS OR PEOPLES

A covenant, even if it is human, once ratified, no one invalidates it or adds conditions to it (Gal. 3:15). These
covenants were ratified by oath, pledges or witnesses.
NKJV Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak in human terms: Though a covenant be of men, yet when it is ratified,
no one cancels it or adds to it.

When Abraham bought the land to bury Sarah, he did so in the presence of the two sons of Heth as
witnesses (Gen 23:16). When Jacob and Laban made a covenant, they ate together and also laid a heap of
stones to ratify it (Gen 31:46).
NKJV Genesis 23:16 And Abraham heard Ephron; and Abraham weighed Ephron the silver that he had
mentioned in the hearing of the sons of Heth: four hundred shekels of silver, a measure of merchandise.
NKJV Genesis 31:46 And Jacob said to his relatives: Gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap,
and ate there by the heap.
NKJV Genesis 31:48 And Laban said, This heap is this day a witness between me and thee. That is why he
called it Galed;
When Joshua made a covenant with the Gibeonites and ratified it with an oath, and it was so legalized that
later, when he realized the deception, he could no longer annul it; fearing that the wrath of the oath would fall
upon him (Joshua 9:14-19).

6
3
II - THE COVENANTS MADE BY GOD
These are of a different order from the individual ones between peoples or persons, because they are
supernaturally proposed to men. Next we will see the covenants that God has made with men.

A) WITH ADAN
Through this covenant God made Adam responsible for tilling and tending the garden, as well as for populating
the earth. He gave him a condition to remain and that was to obey; however, when Adam failed, he gave him a
promise (Gen 3:15), as well as a sign to that promise which was the garment of skin (Gen 1:27-30; 3:21).

B) WITH NOE
This covenant of God was for judgment, since through Noah's obedience, God was going to condemn the world
for its wickedness (Gen 6:9-22).
It is through this covenant that God reveals to Noah the plans to put an end to all flesh (Gen 6:13) and chooses
Noah because he walked with God, at the same time that he gives him instructions for the construction of the
ark. At the end he ratifies the covenant, informing him that he, his wife, and his sons and his sons' wives will
enter the ark as a means of salvation from God's judgment.
Then as a covenant promise, God tells Noah that he will never again destroy all flesh with water (Gen 9:11) and
as a sign of the covenant he put the rainbow in the clouds (Gen 9:13).
NKJV Genesis 6:13 Then God said to Noah, "I have decided to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with
violence because of them; and behold, I am going to destroy them along with the earth.
NKJV Genesis 9:11 I establish My covenant with you, and no more shall all flesh be exterminated by the waters
of the flood, neither shall there be any more flood to destroy the earth.
NKJV Genesis 9:13 I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the
earth.

C) WITH ABRAHAM
After mankind rebelled by making the tower of babel, God called Abraham to make a covenant. It is only
through faith that Abraham attains God's mercy and because he was the point of division between Gentiles and
Jews, it is this covenant that revalidates all the others, because it would result in God sending the Lamb to save
all those involved in all the covenants (Gen 22:15-18). By this covenant, Abraham is offered double offspring:

1. Like the stars, the celestials.

2. Like the sand of the sea, the grounds.

D) WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL

This covenant God made at Mount Sinai. It was a conditional covenant, because he had to fulfill the law in order
to be a people (Deutr. 14:13-23). For their disobedience to the law, they received a curse.
NASB Deuteronomy 27:26 "Cursed be he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them." And all
the people shall say, "Amen."

E) WITH LEVI
This covenant was made by God to perpetuate the priesthood of Levi (Mal 2:4-8; Num 25:6,7,9,12).
NKJV Numbers 25:12-13 Therefore say, "Behold, I give him My covenant of peace; and it shall be to him and to
his seed after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God and made
atonement for the children of Israel."

F) WITH DAVID
By this covenant God promises David an eternal throne to his posterity (2Sa 7:1-29).
G) THE NEW COVENANT
God announces through the prophets the new covenant, which is a covenant of regeneration; which contrasts
with that of Sinai (Jer 31:31-34; Heb 8:8-11).
NASB Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the
LORD: I will put My laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people
In this new covenant promise, we must see that God promises a double descent from Abraham.

6
4
 1. THE STAR: this offspring is the Church, the body of Christ, with whom he makes a better covenant;
because it is celestial.
2. THE SAND OF THE SEA: this is an earthly offspring, it is Israel, for whom the New Covenant is earthly.

Jesus Christ is the mediator of this new covenant (Heb. 9:15; 12:24) and its foundation is his blood (1 Cor.
11:25). NKJV Hebrews 9:15 And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who have
been called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance, having died a death for the redemption of the
transgressions committed under the first covenant.
NASB Hebrews 12:24 and to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks
better than the blood of Abel.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new
covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

CONCLUSIONS

1. As we are part of the Church His Body, we are participants in the better covenant because we are celestial
(descendants of stars).
2. Israel will enjoy the new covenant when the Lord Jesus Christ is indeed King over the world and the
universe.
3. Now the church participates in the new covenant in advance, because it will begin in the millennium.
4. There are covenants that are made without thinking, and then are a burden to us, for example promising
eternal love to a boyfriend, when there is not even a commitment, this covenant should be made only at
the altar.
5. The covenants we make in our lives have the capacity to limit and even hold our life in abundance.
6. Some religions are accustomed to make poverty covenants, and that is why people who attend these
places never prosper.
7. whenever we set out to promise something, let us remember that what we bind on earth is bound in
heaven, and what we loose on earth is loosed in heaven.

THE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM

NKJV Ephesians 1:22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to
the church,
NKJV Ephesians 1:23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
NKJV Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave
Himself for her,
NKJV Ephesians 5:26 to sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
NKJV 2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy, because I have espoused you
to one husband, that I may present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
NKJV Micah 4:1 And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall
be established as the head of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples
shall flow to it.
NKJV Micah 4:2 Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord
and to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways, and that we may walk in his
paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

INTODUCTION
The father set out to take the earth in order to come to give the throne to the son (Luke 1:32). In His eternal
purpose, He arranged to make a kingdom for His only begotten Son and from that moment on, the development
for the preparation of that kingdom begins on earth, which will be established in the millennium where the king,
the bride, the governors and the governed will participate.
God has always dealt with three groups: Jews (Israel), Gentiles (nations), and the church of God (body of
Christ); and it is these groups that were and are being prepared to participate in the Kingdom of the Son. NKJV
Luke 1:32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give him the
throne of his father David.

I - GOD'S DEALINGS WITH MAN

God created man in His image, according to His likeness, and appointed him to guard the garden from His
enemies, who? Those outside the garden (Gen 1:26; 2:15). God's first idea was to have communion with man
and that he would reproduce and fill the earth with a holy seed, in the image and likeness of God; but this was
not achieved because of man's sin.

A) DEALING WITH THE GENTILES

God initiates a deal with all mankind, the entire offspring of fallen Adam and Eve. This work starts from the
man's flight from the garden to the tower of Babel.
In this first period there were saved people who participated in the kingdom as governed, because they are part
of the nations. They are God's seed by being saved, but we note that they were not promised a kingdom or
crown; therefore they will be the ruled.

B) DEALING WITH ISRAEL

After the tower of Babel, God called Abraham with whom he made a covenant; because from Abraham, God
was going to start the preparation of the rulers. God gives Abraham a seed from which a nation arises, Israel,
Abraham's earthly seed. To these people God offers the kingdom where they will rule together with the Lord
Jesus Christ.
For these people are the promises found in (Mic 4:1-2; Zech 14:9, 16-17); and it is made known throughout the
Old Testament. God's dealings with Israel go from Abraham to the rejection of the Lord Jesus as King of Israel
(John 1:11).
NKJV Micah 4:1-2 And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be
established as the head of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall flow to it.
Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God
of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways, and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the
law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. SSE Zechariah 14:16-17 And all that remain of the nations that
came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the
Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall come to pass, that those of the families of the land who do not go up to
Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, no rain shall come upon them.
R60 John 1:11 He came to His own, and His own received Him not.

C) DEALING WITH THE CHURCH

Finally, when the people of Israel reject him, God initiates his dealings with a new people, a new creation, a new
race, a Jewish-Gentile group; whom he will call and take them in his image, making them his bride; that is, the
bride of the King, and the instructions for that bride are found in Paul's epistles, where it is declared that she is
his body (Eph 1:22-23).
This deal is initiated by God when the Lord Jesus dies on the cross and is resurrected, until the church His body
is caught up.
SSE Ephesians 1:22-23 and putting all things under his feet, and making him head over all things to the church,
which is his body, and he is the fullness of it: who fills all things in all.

D) MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
At the end of the Great Tribulation the Millennial Kingdom will begin, which will be of restoration of all things,
because the Lord will be ruling with a rod of iron together with his bride (the church, his body), the apostles of
the Lamb (Matthew 19:28) and Israel of God (Revelation 20:4).

6
6
SSE Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the
regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
SSE Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the
souls of them that were slain for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, neither in their hands: and
they shall live and reign with the Christ a thousand years.

These dealings of God with man can be visualized in the following diagram:

CONCLUSIONS
1. Kingdom: is the operation of God in the following manner:
a. Those who are to be governed, that is, the nations and other saved people who will repopulate the
earth.
b. Those who will rule, that is, the people of Israel, being the head of the Kingdom commanded by the
twelve apostles of the Lamb.
2. Church: is the operation of God by which He is forming the suitable help for His Son, choosing for this
purpose men of all races and of all peoples. Once again there is a segregation of rulers and ruled, but
no longer on an earthly level, but on a universal one.
a. Those who will rule, that is, Christ and his Bride, being the head of this Universal Kingdom, whose
task is to reconcile all creation with God.
b. Those who are to be governed, that is, the creations of other worlds and universes that presently
have no communion with God, and to whom the gospel will be preached when the Church is
placed as co-ruler with Christ.
3. Difference between church and Kingdom
a. The church was not described in the Old Testament, it was only foreshadowed, because it was
revealed to the Apostle Paul in the New Testament.
b. The church was predestined to be in the image of the Son and to be His bride and at the same time
to reign with Him.
c. Israel is part of the earthly seed of Abraham, while the Church, his body, is the heavenly seed.

6

 d. The earthly seed is to rule the earthly ones, those who will be on the new earth and repopulate it
after its purification.
e. The heavenly seed is to rule the heavenly ones, those creations that need the message of
Salvation through which they can be reconciled with God, submit under His authority and become
part of the new Universal Government.
4. We must differentiate the Kingdom in its two dimensions: the one God promised to Israel as a nation,
which will be here on earth, and the Kingdom promised to the Church, the Bride of Christ, both
Kingdoms (or facets of the same Kingdom) will be the inheritance for each of the seeds.

THE HOLY DINNER
AMP 1Corinthians 11:27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily
is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
AMP 1Corinthians 11:28 Therefore let each one examine himself, and then let him eat of the bread
and drink of the cup.
AMP 1Corinthians 11:29 For he who eats and drinks without rightly discerning the body {of the
Lord,} eats and drinks judgment to himself.
AMP 1Corinthians 11:30 For this reason there are many weak and sickly among you, and some
sleep.
AMP 1Corinthians 11:31 But if we were to judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
AMP 1Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, the Lord disciplines us so that we will not be
condemned with the world.
INTRODUCTION

We have begun to dedicate ourselves to the deep search for God because we know that his purpose is to
bless us, he does not change and wants us to enjoy it to the fullest, but there are times when we must face
one of the provisions left by the Lord and this is the Lord's Supper.
The Lord's Supper is a tool that God uses to examine his people, his church.
It is one of the most precious ordinances and full of mercy that our Lord instituted, and one of the apostolic
objectives that Paul teaches is to make memory of Jesus Christ, the cup is the cup of the new testament, the
new covenant, the new covenant and the word used in Greek is diateke which is a unilateral arrangement that
is to say that although many times by our human weakness we violate it, He will not change, He will always be
waiting for us to come repentant to continue our eternal relationship with Him, that is why it is good that we
make "memory of Him", that we celebrate the Holy Supper, that we celebrate "memory of Him", that we
celebrate "the Holy Supper", that we celebrate "memory of Him", that we celebrate "the Holy Supper". waiting
for us to come repentant to continue our eternal relationship with Him, that is why it is good that we make
"memory of Him", that we celebrate the Holy Supper.

A) WHAT IS NOT THE HOLY SUPPER

We see that the Corinthians used to have their agape (it was a meeting with meals and its purpose was to
provoke an atmosphere in which Christians could relate to each other as people and get to know and care
about each other) the problem was that they met but without understanding the meaning of eating together,
that is why we must establish what the holy supper really is.
Eating together was a beautiful practice that Jesus instituted, at that time it was not a holy supper, but a meal
where there was unity and joy of heart, the table has a virtue and that is to make friends, that is an agape:
friendships are linked.
There is no greater power than love, but in this church when they had their feasts there began to be excesses

7
0
in food, drink and conversation and they began to shame the poor, they lost the objective which was to
harmonize among the brothers, it was an authentic Christian church full of gifts, with apostolic coverage but it
had not understood the totality of Christ's sacrifice.

NKJV 1Corinthians 11:22 What? Don't you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of
God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise
you.

The feasts are important for us to know that we are brothers so that we understand that there is no difference
between one and the other, but in Corinth there was haughtiness and complexes and the truth in Christ is that
we are all worth much, we are worth the blood of Christ.

Paul also spoke of a sign of authority because of the angels, when the woman prays and prophesies (not
when she sings or welcomes), the woman must cover herself for angelic ministration, it is a sign that says I
am in the established order, it is a sign that denotes subjection to authority and order attracts blessing.

NKJV 2 Peter 3:1 DEARLY beloved, I now write this second letter to you, by which I awaken both of you with
exhortation to your pure minds;
Historically it is said that in Corinth it was said: "as food is for the belly so the body is for fornication", that is
what they said in the streets and they let that custom and mentality enter the church, they let people who got
drunk and caused dissolution, and twisted the sound doctrine.
It is necessary at this point to clarify that the Lord Jesus Christ established for the church the holy supper, not
the agape, and for this purpose He used two elements: bread and wine, which have a typology in this
institution and which we will study later.

B) CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOLY SUPPER

1. The holy supper is not a rite, but a solemn act that the Lord himself instituted (Matthew 26:26-29;
John 6:53-56).
2. It is a privilege in which all believers should participate.
3. The elements that were instituted for this act were bread and wine (no juice, no soft drink in
powder).
4. It is a memorial of death (shedding of blood, immolation of the body), a remembrance of what has
passed to the body.
5. It is an imperative mandate to celebrate it at all times, which represents that the blood of Christ is
fresh to cleanse us, it is a present reality.
6. It is a confession of our expectation of his second coming. It is an announcement of the future.
7. It is an evidence of the intimate communion one has with Christ. And of commitment to his church.
8. It is capable of healing diseases and even regenerating altered genetic codes.
9. The sufferings of the physical body represent the struggles that the mystical body must face.
10. It is the denial or rejection of our former humanity, in order to recognize and adopt the holiness of
Jesus Christ.

Bread = represents the body of the Lord Jesus Christ

Wine = the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ

BREAD MEANS
1 Corinthians 10:17 Since the bread is one, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one
bread.
To show that we are a unit, although we are individuals, we are part of the same piece.
NKJV Hebrews 10:10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.
This represents the body: the offering that sanctifies us and through which we are accepted before God.

7
1
NKJ Romans 7:4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the law through the body of Christ, so
that you might be united to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit for God.
The fact that his body was given to the representatives of the law tells us that his body served so that together
with him we would die to the law and would no longer be accused or condemned by it.

NKJV Romans 12:5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ and individually members one of another.
We have a unique position in the body of Christ, no one can usurp our position, let us no longer compete, nor
envy what God left to each one in his unique position, let us focus on what:

1, We must please Him in everything

2, Bearing fruit in good works
3, Discipline is only for children
4, I prefer to fall into the hands of correction and not into the hands of condemnation like David because I
know that God is great and merciful.
5, Growing in the knowledge of God
6, Let us live in a dignified manner

NKJV 1 Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, the Lord disciplines us so that we will not be condemned
with the world.
NASB Hebrews 12:6 For the Lord disciplines whom He loves, and scourges every son whom He receives. #
NASB Hebrews 12:10 For they disciplined us for a few days as it seemed good to them, but He {disciplines} us
for {our} good, that we may share in His holiness.
Because we are weak, because we are sick?
Why does the desire to pray go away?
Why aren't cults attractive?
Why are we late?

The answer is: because we do not yet behave as one body. If I want to eat and drink blessings at the Lord's
Supper, I must do something about it: the young should no longer indulge in fornication, the old should give up
adultery, some who steal should no longer steal, those who murmur should stop murmuring.
There are so many good things to live for: why do we sometimes only like the bad and bitter ones?

C) THE MEMORIAL OF THE HOLY SUPPER

NKJV 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new
covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat
this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
The Lord's Supper is an opportunity to remember or recall what it represents, the circumstances in which it
was instituted, and the way in which we should participate in it.

1) MEMORIAL OF HIS HOLINESS

NKJV Psalm 30:4 Sing to the LORD, you his saints, And celebrate the remembrance of his holiness. Holiness
in Hebrew is Qodesh:
1. It is to set apart, to separate something for God.
2. It is something that God has already given us and we have to develop it 3. It is
positional and progressive

A gospel that is not holy ceases to be a gospel, God has sought a choir that sings to him, but the requirement
is to be full of holiness because when we sing his saints, we are reminded that our God is holy.
That is why when David instituted the orders of singers, he ordered that they should sing in white garments,
that they should be holy, let us remember how he was raised by the Spirit of Holiness for his resurrection,
after having done a beautiful work that appears in the book of the prophet Isaiah in chapter 53:

1. Then we see him despised

2. As a waste product of men
3. Man of sorrows

7
2
 4. Who knows what it is to suffer
5. His face as if covered with shame and affront
6. So we did not make any case of the
7. It is true that he himself took upon himself our infirmities and sins.
8. I bear our penalties
9. But we had him for a leper
10. As a man wounded by the hand of God and humiliated
11. He was wounded for our iniquities
12. Torn to pieces by our wickedness
13. The chastisement [price] of our peace was unloaded on Him.
14. By his wounds we are healed
15. He was offered as a sacrifice because He Himself willed it
16. He did not open his mouth to complain
17. Driven to death without offering resistance like sheep to the slaughterhouse
18. He keeps silent without opening his mouth in front of his tormentors.
19. Like a lamb in front of its shearers

2. MEMORIAL OF HIS NAME

NKJV Psalm 45:17 I will make the memory of your name perpetual throughout all generations: Therefore
shall the peoples praise thee forever and ever.
When we read this psalm we find beautiful things to remember because we see that Christ falls in love with
His beloved because she has a beauty that only He sees in her, but what is that beauty? that she does not
use her own name but that she now bears the name of Christ.

NKJ Psalm 45:10 ¶ Hear, O daughter, give ear, and incline thine ear; forget thy people and thy father's
house.
We become beautiful for Christ when we forget the house of our birth, which is sin. God told these people to
forget Egypt, why should we remember Egypt, its slavery, its vices, its forced labor without fruit?

O Yes we have already run to the mountain let's forget Sodom

O Yes we are already in the ark, why do we go out like the raven in search of meat?
O Yes we are going in the direction of Canaan, why remember the onions from Egypt?
O Yes we go on the march against Madian because we will bow down as a dogs to
drink the water? O
If we have already put our hand to the plow, why look back?

NKJV Psalm 45:11 Then the king will desire your beauty; bow down to him, for he is your lord.
Let us not forget to honor the name of him who took us as his children, let us remember the wonders that
have happened in our lives, all by the glorious power of his name, which is just as powerful today as it was in
the beginning.
He who remembers his name will become beautiful and desirable in his presence.

3. MEMORIAL OF HIS JUSTICE

SSE Psalm 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will remember your righteousness, your
righteousness alone. The payment of justice is extremely high and was magnified in such a way that it became
impossible to pay it for our filthy works, therefore in the Holy Supper we remember his justice because the
Lord is our righteousness before God the Father.

NKJ Jeremiah 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell securely; and this is his name by
which he shall be called, "The Lord our righteousness."

This should not motivate us to feel comfortable but on the contrary should awaken the desire to be more
grateful to God to enter into the true rest that the Lord offers us, we commonly think that fasting is to earn
blessings and it is not to earn something but to sensitize us, sometimes we think "it is right that you bless me
because I intercede" but that is only the function that God has delegated us to do, and that is why we live

7
3
grateful to the Lord, we do not have to pay for them or earn them with penances of fasting and prayer, they
are already paid for, and that is why we live grateful to the Lord.But that is only the function that God has
delegated us to do, and that is why we live grateful to the Lord, the blessings do not have to be paid or earned
with penances of fasting and prayer, they are already paid and granted, this conviction of the spirit is very
important not to try to pay what is already paid Paul understood this and for that reason he said

NKJV Philippians 3:8-9 And furthermore, I count all things as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing
Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as garbage, that I may
gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that
which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith,

2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of
God in Him.

Now the Gospel is proclaimed, that is, the good news that the Lord obeyed all the law and replaced us, now
heaven recognizes us as righteous, as deserving, and the Spirit convinces us and begins to tell us and teach
us that we have already reached everything because they took our place, and paid the entrance fee, now
everything we do is not to earn heaven, it is already earned, it is not to see if we reach it, we have already
reached it in Christ.

Satan wants to take advantage of many who do not have the full knowledge of God's righteousness and
constantly deceives them by telling them:

O You do not comply with anything

® You are weak
O You have not prayed or fasted
O You do not deserve a blessing

We must let the Holy Spirit teach us and convince us of the righteousness that Jesus won for us, this is the
good news of this Gospel of restoration and we must understand it well so as not to be deceived.

NKJV Matthew 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
We must ask ourselves the question: who is our justice: our prayers? our fasting? our vigils? our efforts? NO!
Our righteousness is Christ, and not that we should not do these works, of course they should be done, but
the motivation and spiritual background must change.

O We have to walk as what we are

O We have to develop ourselves according to who we are.
O And it's time for us to act like what we are

We could illustrate this teaching a little with the Eagle that was badly taught and ended up in a chicken coop,
there she never learned to fly because no one did it, they made her eat corn, she slept on tree branches and
although her appearance was big everyone called her "Rara", all because she was taught wrong, she was told
that she was a chicken, there are many believers that their mentality is chicken and do not realize that they
are Eagles, they do not fit in, they are not comfortable.There are many believers who have a chicken mentality
and do not realize that they are Eagles, they do not fit in, they are not comfortable, they feel weird, because
their nature tells them so, and it is not their fault, that is how they were taught.

Let us learn from the worm that from the moment it is born knows that it will be a butterfly even if for a while it
has to crawl on the ground, so we must change our mentality and think: that our state of humiliation is
temporary.

O I'm rich, but you can't see it...for the moment.

O I am healthy, but my head hurts....for the moment

7
4
 O I am strong, though I have my weaknesses...for the moment O I am holy, though I still sin...for
the moment

D) THE SECRET OF THE EUCHARIST (HOLY SUPPER)

Although the title of this section is very suggestive and can give rise to misinterpretations we have included it
for two reasons, one of them is because it has been misused and labeled as property of some religious
groups, and secondly because the meaning of this word whose origin is Greek will allow us to expand our
knowledge about what is the Lord's Supper. The "thanksgiving" is called in Greek " eucarsiteo" and means:

O Being grateful
O Giving thanks
O Expressing gratitude

The Eucharist (thanksgiving = holy supper) is a revelation that Paul receives at the moment of participating in
the table of the Lord, because the Bible is clear when it says that before eating the bread and drinking the
wine they gave thanks and this is the word eucharisteo, now, let's see what happens when we open our lips
giving thanks to God, because it is a sign of faith and confidence that God will be in the act.

1. THERE IS MULTIPLICATION
NKJV John 6:11-13 Then Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, {He} distributed to {those}
who were reclining; and likewise {He did} with the fish, {giving them} as much as they wanted. When they
had eaten their fill, he said* to his disciples, "Gather up the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be
lost. {So they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves that
were left over from those who had eaten.

We see Jesus giving thanks to the Father with the little he had in his hands, but with the little he had he was
going to satisfy the need of many, these many are those who learned to be reclining, that is to say, to rest and
wait on God, and in the end we see that the little that was there was even left over.

It is easy to thank God in abundance, but we must also thank God when there is much to satisfy and little to
offer, economists would say: much demand and little supply. How important it is that we learn to speak and
see the power of giving thanks, because the need is satisfied, the little is multiplied, it is a multiplying power.

2. LOST CASES ARE SAVED

John 11:40-44 Jesus said to him, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God? Then
they removed the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes on high, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard
me. I knew that you always hear me; but I said it for the sake of the multitude that {me} surrounds me,
that they may think that you have sent me.
Having said this, he cried out in a loud voice: Lazarus, come out! And the one who had died came out, the
feet y the
hands bound with bandages, and the face wrapped in a shroud. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him,and leave it
go.

Now we see Jesus giving thanks for a case lost in the eyes of men. but that iba a be
Jesus shows us here how to act when we are going through a critical moment in our life, for that reason we
thank him in everything, because that case that had no remedy was going to be solved.

The Bible lets us see that Jesus was a friend of Lazarus, and we see here how that friend who had been lost,
who had died, was going to be saved, it is interesting to see how this fact has repercussions in the spiritual
world: that from our lips comes a thanksgiving. Wasn't this what Job did, when he faced the fact that he had
lost everything and acted through giving thanks?

NKJV Job 1:21 And he said, #Naked I came forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither.
The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

7
5
This was one of Job's secrets to recover later, he did not attribute nonsense to God, but acted with his lips
giving thanks to God and that had repercussions in his spiritual life giving him peace and later in his material
benefit by recovering and duplicating all that he had lost.

NASB Psalm 34:1 ({Psalm} of David when he pretended to be mad* before Abimelech, who drove him out,
and he departed). #I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

David also acted, for contempt had come into his life. Being a tremendous warrior used by God he could be
neither with his people nor with his enemies, those who did not want him rejected him and even those who
were his own blood despised him, however he never ceased to offer thanksgiving before God, not even when
the kingdom had been placed in his hand, did he cease to give thanks.

3. CREATE FAITH TO BELIEVE THE WORD

NKJV 1Thessalonians 2:13 ¶ For this reason we also without ceasing give thanks to God that when you
received from us the word of the message of God, {you} accepted it not {as} the word of men, but as what it
really is, the word of God, which also works its work in you who believe.

Thanksgiving is like a door through which faith enters the heart of man. We also see that thanksgiving allows
God's work to be done because we believe not only in Jesus but also in his word. It is not only necessary to
believe in Jesus but also in his sound doctrine.

4. PRODUCES PROSPERITY
NKJV Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
It produces peace, which in Greek is called "eirene", and among its meanings is "prosperity". This tells us that
thanksgiving brings prosperity to our life, but not only that, it also keeps us from that prosperity, and how
beautiful because it puts guards on the doors of our heart and mind, that way our mind and heart will be
guarded from the love of riches, so that they are only dedicated to the pursuit of God, that's why David said:

NKJV Psalm 141:3-4 "O Lord, keep my mouth; guard the door of my lips. Do not let my heart incline to
anything evil, to practice ungodly deeds with men who work iniquity, and do not let me eat of their
delicacies.

5. PRODUCES SURRENDER
NKJV Revelation 4:9-10 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and praise to Him who sits
on the throne and lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne
and worship Him who lives forever and ever; and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying: "Worthy
art thou, O Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by
thy will they have being and were created."
The one who sits on the throne is the Lamb who shed his blood, that is why he provokes an atmosphere of
surrender in any place he enters, every creation has to prostrate itself and worship him.

The Holy Supper produces

1. Multiplication
2. Restoration of lost cases
3. Faith to believe the word as of God
4. Prosperity
5. Total surrender

E) DISCERNING THE BODY OF CHRIST

NASB 1Corinthians 11:29-32 For he who eats and drinks without rightly discerning the body {of the Lord,}
eats and drinks judgment to himself. For this reason there are many weak and sick among you, and some
sleep. But if we were to judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, the Lord
disciplines us so that we are not condemned with the world.

7
6
Before developing this section, it is necessary to pause and clarify two very important aspects that can be
seen in these verses:
I. One is that when speaking of the body of Christ, it speaks to us of the elements that make up the
Lord's Supper, the bread and wine, and that in discerning them, we are speaking of being aware that
they represent the body that was given for us on the cross and the blood that was shed to cleanse
and blot out our sins.
II. And the second is that when speaking of the Body of Christ, it speaks to us of the mystical Body
which is the church and of which each and every believer is a part, and that when we discern it, we
are speaking of being aware of our situation or relationship with that body.

Now, let us look at the definition of some of the words contained in these verses, which will help us to further
clarify the meaning implicit in them:

Judgment = KRINO: to separate, to select, to choose, to go through the process of a trial as plaintiff or
defendant, is to pronounce judgment.
Discern = to make no distinction between two or more things.
Anaxios = unworthily is to be incapable

With these words better defined, let us try to put this verse together again, so that we can understand it better.

"He who eats and drinks of the Lord's supper as a common supper without understanding its Spiritual
meaning and fails to distinguish what is the body of the Lord, what he is doing is that he is going through a trial
that he started as a plaintiff and in which the judge has pronounced sentences, but the plaintiff does not
realize that he himself is also a defendant. as a plaintiff and in which the judge has pronounced sentences, but
the plaintiff does not realize that he himself is also the defendant, therefore, what he is doing he is doing
against himself, since he is suing the body of Christ, of which he is a part".
How would it look if I said: this toe is useless: let's cut it off, I can't stand that foot, let it go. If we remove a foot,
we will walk with a limp; if we wound an eye, we will lose our vision; is it possible that we are all in one body
and cannot discern it?

As we can see, in a very broad sense: to discern the body is then to arrive prepared to share the table,
dressed for the occasion and to eat every morsel, it is also not to belittle the other members of the table,
because each of them is part of the body of Christ.

But let's take a closer look at what the Lord's Table is talking about:
1) HAVE AN IDENTITY
NKJV RUTH 3:9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid. Therefore spread
thy mantle over thine handmaid, because thou art near of kin.

We see how this woman knew how to discern the functions that each one developed, that is why she said to
Boaz: "I am your servant and you are my covering".
It is interesting to note how to this woman the servants by order of Boaz, left her ears of corn to feed, these
servants could give food but only Boaz could give cover, not everyone who gives food can give cover, that is
why we have to discern the body.
A lawyer cannot build or design buildings, he can only defend or sue in a lawsuit.
The one who is a specialist, possesses knowledge (and this allows him to discern), therefore he does not ask
for help from just anyone, the specialist knows what he has and also knows what he can do and what he
cannot do, that discernment, product of knowledge, dictates that he cannot ask for help from just anyone, but
from someone superior to him, that is why the Lord left specialists in ministries and in help.
Since we are all part of the same body, let us understand: "The body does not compete against itself",
therefore, let us only discover our function within the body: he who is mouth does not get angry because he
does not hear, and he who is hearing does not get angry because he does not see, let us learn to depend on
each other's function. Wasn't that the Corinthians' problem?
NKJV 1 Corinthians 3:3 for you are still carnal. For when there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not
carnal, and walk as men?

7
7
 2) WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIGHT, JUDGE OR CURSE A BROTHER?
NKJV 1 Corinthians 12:12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the
body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

If we fight, curse or sentence a brother who belongs to the Body of Christ we are doing it against ourselves, if
we say "that brother should leave" and if he leaves and it was an eye we will be left without vision, from here
tremendous truths emerge: if the brother that you sentenced with curse was the ear, you and I are part of that
body and we will be deaf. By not discerning the body of Christ we begin as plaintiffs and end up as
defendants, it is like suing the company in which I am a partner.

3) WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE FIGHTS AGAINST THE CHURCH?

SSE Acts 26:14 And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me, saying in the
Hebrew tongue, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the pricks.

We see that the church is persecuted by a religious man who knows the letter and keeps all the traditions, but
when he started to put them in jail and beat them, God came out and told him "watch out, my church is a
thorn" if you try to beat it you will be beaten, if you try to bless it you will be blessed.
NKJV Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you, I will curse. And in you all the
families of the earth shall be blessed. #
God spoke to Saul in Hebrew and told him not to strike her anymore, for today you will be part of them too,
and whatever harm you do to her you do to yourself. How powerful and delicate the church is.
4) FIGHTING AGAINST THE APOSTLES
NKJV Acts 5:38-39 Therefore in this case I say to you, have nothing to do with these men and leave them
alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will perish; but if it is of God, you cannot destroy them, lest you
find yourselves fighting against God.
Gamaliel stands up and tells them to let the apostles preach and leave them alone, because the people were
following them, they were pioneers in many things, besides they were freeing them from the law, but when
Gamaliel speaks he tells them "if the work they do is of God let them be, otherwise they will be fighting against
God", those who do not support the Church of Christ, those who speak against it, do it against God. It is like
those people who speak ill of ministers and do not realize that God says "do not touch my anointed ones or
harm the prophets".

NKJV Matthew 23:37-39 ¶ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent
[APOSTLES]to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks
under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left to you deserted. For I say to you that from
now on {from now on} you will see me no more until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord."

They found themselves fighting against God and their city was destroyed, and to this day their generations are
vexed, the cities that do not receive the prophets nor the apostles will suffer, they will be left without
protection, without covering without doctrine (like Jerusalem) because they failed to discern the body nor the
ministerial functions. If we have doubts, let us not make judgments , let us not become plaintiffs because we
may be sued, let us look at how Pharaoh ended up for not letting God's people go out.

NKJV Isaiah 45:9 Woe to him who contends with his Maker, being but a potsherd among the potsherds of
earth! Will the clay he shapes say: "What are you doing?" or "Your work has no handles"?

That is why in the holy supper we have to discern the body, our brothers and sisters are as important as we
are, because they are part of the body that we also form, so if we rejoice we rejoice and if we feel we feel.

5) TALK ABOUT THE LIFE OF THE BROTHERS

NKJV Proverbs 25:9-10 Discuss your case with your neighbor and do not uncover another's secret, lest he
who {hears it} reproach you, and your bad name not be done away with.
Sometimes we do not realize that there are very secret things that only God and our brothers know and that
are situations that probably only in ministry have revealed it and to the people they have considered
trustworthy, however, many times we commit the terrible imprudence of revealing that secret to third parties

7
8
and this brings curse on the one who betrayed the trust of that secret.

NKJV DEU 27:24 ¶ "Cursed be he who strikes his neighbor secretly." And all the people shall say, "Amen."
This is the delicacy of developing a ministerial activity as it appears in the book of Esther when the king
delegates to the eunuch Hagai the care and administration of the cosmetic treatment and diet of Esther, then
he put maidens to take care of the perfumes and shaving of the one who was to be the king's wife. This tells
us of the jealous secrecy in which the defects were being corrected in the future bride (the church).
How terrible to tell secrets, as it is punishable by a curse (they become weak, sick and even die).

Hezekiah showed everything to the king of Babylon and took the sons of Babylon captive.
te Luzbel divulged God's secrets and became Satan
King Ahasuerus would not have liked to hear about Esther, and when he found Haman at his feet he had
him hanged. The more so to the one who was whispering about the king's wife.
Mary murmured against Moses' wife and leprosy came upon her.

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT DISCERNING THE BODY

NKJV 1CO 11:30 For this reason there are many weak and sickly among you, and some sleep.

When we do not make separation between those who are of God and we get involved in a judgment as
plaintiffs and want to attack the brother, we are the ones who lose, because we are hurting ourselves.
The lack of recognition of the five ministries delegated by God for the care of the church also brings not only
spiritual but also material consequences.

O Reject prophets: and lose vision

O Rejects shepherds: and loses good and mercy.
O Reject apostles: and you will be left without a revealed word.
O Murmur of his brother: and he shall not enter into life in abundance.
O If you reveal the ministration: it will bring a curse.

CONCLUSIONS
1. The body does not compete against itself
2. Harming others will harm yourself.
3. The Lord's Supper is not to be despised, he who refuses to participatefrom the saint dinner, this
denying
Christ in Public, and He will deny Him before the Father.
4. We must flee from gossip, for we run the risk of revealing secrets and bringing a curse upon ourselves.
5. The Lord's Supper is not a privilege for those who no longer havepecan,but, a opportunity from
go to a
accounts with God for those who have been overtaken by sin.
6. When the Lord's Supper is worthily taken, we are blessed spiritually and materially.
7. The Holy Supper has the power to change even anomalous genetic codes for generations.

LIBERATION
NKJ Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring
good news to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives and release to the prisoners;

There are many things we can learn from to understand the issue of liberation, one example is the coming out
of Egypt that tells us how when we leave the world, we cross the Red Sea (water baptism) and then enter the
desert to show us what is in our heart, and in the desert some classic characteristics of children begin to
manifest:

O No could fight
O No could fight back
O No could walk
O No could sow y they had to be fed
O They couldn't spin, they had to be given their dresses
O They could not put on shoes and had to put them on

They were children's days in which God had to do everything, and it is in this way that the fights began to
develop, but not external, here they are "inner fights" rather than external, they did not have to go to conquer
anything, the conflicts were internal, not external, they fought with themselves.

At this point we will pause for a moment to say: WHAT IS NOT liberation:

Liberation has been misunderstood and its concept has degenerated in such a way that today it has become
pure shouting and exhibitionism. The anointing is measured by the screams and the thermometer to know that
the person has been released is the fact of lying on the ground and that should manifest itself, some say, by
excretions. And as we search the Bible we realize that all these "characteristics of liberation" have nothing to do
with what the word of God teaches us.
In order to understand liberation, we will continue to use the Biblical typology of the exit from Egypt, applied to
our life.

The Bible shows us that from Egypt to their final destination were eleven journeys that finally became forty, due
to a deal of God, however at the end of this deal they approach the border of that desert life they were leading,
that border will be the Jordan River.

The desert is only a transitory passage, it is not the place destined as a dwelling, the one who lives in deserts is
abnormal, because that is not a place for housing but a place of passage, the problem is that in the desert they
are always children and that makes them to be always dependent on Moses and his help.
The serpents and scorpions we see that live there and are spirits that attack the people of God and some of

8
0
those who are attacked are prostrated in the desert, there are Christian people who are sick because of spells,
we are not saying that the enemy has more power, in any way, but that the demons take advantage of the
ignorance of the people to destroy them.

We see a Samson begging and taking a Philistine, and because of that bad way of life in the desert we see how
a lion cub appears and attacks only the anointed of God, it did not attack the parents, note that the attack is on
the anointed and although Samson was bad, the lion was torn to pieces by the mercy of God.
Note that at no time have we said that possession by unclean spirits and deliverance do not exist, if they do,
they are real, what we are saying is that the manifestations of these spirits have been confused with the
expulsion of these spirits.

ENTRANCE TO CANAAN
To know what we are dealing with, and to differentiate things we see in the book of Joshua that there are now
two types of orders which are:

1. Defeat the 31 kings found inside Canaan: they are the native kings and typify the flesh.
NKJV Joshua 12:13-24 the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; the king of Hormah, one; the king of
Arad, one; the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel,
one; the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; the king of Aphek, one; the king of Sharon, one; the
king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achsaph, one; the
king of Taanach, one; the king of Taanach, one; the king of Hazor, one; the king of Shimronone; the king of
Hazor, one; the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achsaph, one; the king of Taanach, one; the king of
Megiddo, one; the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one; the king of Dor on the heights of
Dor, one; the king of Goim in Gilgal, one; the king of Tirzah, one. Thirty-one kings in all.

2. Cast out the seven kings that were found inside, these are the foreign kings, which typify unclean
spirits.

NKJV Joshua 3:10 And Joshua added, By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He
will surely drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and
the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
The foreign kings are the demons brought in by deals with the natives, it is the flesh that invites unclean spirits,
there are native kings that invite them in, when a demon is cast out it is necessary to recriminate the area of the
flesh that let him in, the native that received the foreigner must be defeated, so that he does not invite another
foreigner again.

The flesh is overcome by the Spirit, it is subdued by the Spirit, we cannot cast out what is the flesh but we can
subdue it, on the other hand we must cast out the unclean spirits, and it is important to realize that there is not a
procedure of many steps to do it, it only says to cast them out.

Let us take as an example a Rahab, who was not to be cast out but only subjugated, that represents the sexual
area that is not to be cast out but subjugated and reprogrammed, because we cannot eliminate sexual desire,
what we can eliminate is the disordered desire, that is subjugating: to submit it to its original order.

We see then that the foreign kings (unclean spirits) were let in by the native kings (the flesh), that is to say that
the flesh that is not subdued, subjugated, is the one that allows the entrance of unclean spirits.

Many confuse the flesh with the unclean spirits and we have to understand and differentiate between these two
groups and know what is the strategy to overcome each one, the flesh must be subdued, and the unclean spirits
must be cast out in the name of Jesus.

NKJV Joshua 12:9-11 the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; the king of Jerusalem,
one; the king of Hebron, one; the king of Jarmuth, whose name is PIREAM....
The meaning of the name Jarmut is elevation, eminence, and that of Piream is wild ass, this speaks of someone
who has risen to perform ministerial tasks but is not an ox but an ass, the ass carries the burdens himself, but

8
1
the ox only lets Jesus carry them, the ass is a proud, because in his foolishness he wants to do the work of God
and does not succeed because he was not called.

NKJV Jeremiah 23:1 Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pastures, declares the
Lord.

Like Micah who hires a Levite to be a minister and offers to recognize him as a father but in the end reverses
the roles and says he treats him as a son.
NKJV Judges 17:9-11 And Michaiah said to him, "Where do you come from? And he answered him, I am a
Levite of Bethlehem of Judah; and I will sojourn wherever I find a place. Then Michaiah said to him, "Stay
with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, clothing and food.
And the Levite went in. The Levite consented to keep the man; and the young man was to him as one of his
sons.

NKJV Joshua 10:3 Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, and to
Pyream king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying:

The king of Lachish, one; his name is Japhia, Lachish is invincible and Japhia is brilliant, resplendent.
This is the one who attributes to himself the light and it is when the vainglory of life comes and, like Luzbel,
spoils our beauty. The vainglory of life is what happened to Herod who died eaten by worms, that is, he was
corrupted, because when the people said "voice of God and not of men", Herod did not give the glory to God
but kept it for himself.

The king of Eglon is called Debir, Eglon is young bull or circle, Debir is sanctuary, preacher, lecturer. This
speaks of immaturity, which does not allow us to move forward and leaves us wandering in the desert for a long
time. Instead of seeking maturity, he seeks preaching and only confuses those who hear him, the anointing
does not mature anyone, it only serves to live, maturity is only achieved through the word, there is of the people
of God when they put a neophyte to teach, because he will only transfer confusion.
Many ministers make the mistake of thinking that because a person has an anointing, then they can preach and
it is not so, likewise there are people who think that with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and their good desires to
preach are enough and they already want the pastor to give them the pulpit, and it is not so either, the pulpit is
by calling, and even with a calling it is necessary to sit down to study and learn, C.H. Spurgeon, the prince of
preachers used to say "He who does not sow in the study of the word cannot reap in the pulpit".

NKJV 1Timothy 3:5-6 (For he who does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the
church of God?) Not a neophyte, lest by puffing himself up he fall into the judgment of the devil.
The king of Gezer, one, this is self-exaltation, we should not seek our own glory, to excel, let God call us, if we
feel within us the burning desire to be able to preach, let us preach in our house, when already in our house we
are heard then to our friends.

It is more important to minister what is inside (pride, vainglory, immaturity), because then the outsiders cannot
come because there are no open doors, if there is inner healing the demons leave, it is useless to waste time in
casting out the flies if the flesh is still there, but if we remove the flesh there will be nothing to attract the flies.

The one who has been saved must understand this and want and love true deliverance, for many do not want to
hear anything about deliverance because they think it is about falling into possession and being ridiculed etc.
And this is not so, this happens only in extreme cases, but for those who submit themselves under the authority
of God, and submit their soul and heart to hear and put into practice the word of God, humbling themselves,
recognizing their condition and their need, repenting and confessing their sins, they are no longer humiliated:
they are delivered by the power of the Word of God.
RV60 John 15:3 Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.

There are two types of people who are not liberated by the word, those who do not like to hear the word and run
away from it, and those who are in places where there is no word revealed and fresh, if we do not expose
ourselves to the word and insist on our old way of living spirits enter our life and sometimes our body.

 1. Spirit of the dead by sorcery
2. Lying spirit by the strife
3. Spirit of Egypt for longing for the past life
4. Spirit of lethargy due to laziness
5. Spirit of prostitution for fornication
6. Spirit of impurity for fornication
7. Spirit of sickness by the eagerness
8. Spirit of divination by sorcery
9. Spirit of error for not loving the truth
10. Spirit of slavery for not loving the word of God
11. Spirit of stupor by disbelief
12. Spirit of cowardice for lack of faith
13. Spirit of poverty by greed and laziness

THE BATTLE IS ALREADY WON

NKJV 1Samuel 17:8-9 And Goliath stood and cried out to the ranks of Israel, saying to them, Why have you
come out to set yourselves in battle array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants of Saul? Choose a man and
let him come against me. If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I defeat him
and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.
The Kingdom is the spiritual clash of light against darkness, now in the kingdom of God comes the restitution of
all that was stolen from us, we have to gain ground against the enemy, not just stay as saved, we have to move
forward.
Adam and Eve were the first pacifists, and to avoid the clash they let themselves be duped and deceived. We
have to learn to be fit for war, what are we all fighting for? The better one on each side and the one who wins
will make his own victors and the one who loses will make his own vanquished, and so Goliath [the devil] and
the secret anointed David [Jesus Christ] faced each other, the result: David wins the fight, as: first with a stone
and a sling he knocks him down and then cuts off his head to be sure that he was not going to get up any more.

That is Christ Jesus who defeated the devil [I insist, he is already defeated], when he faced death to bear our
faults, he knocked him down, and gave him the final blow when he took his head off, he took away all authority
and lordship over us, that makes us understand a reality: Jesus is the conqueror and that makes us conquerors
together with Him.

RV60 Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
This makes us see and understand that there are laws that govern our battles, the main one of which is that the
devil has already been defeated, therefore, our fight is no longer against the devil, but against his envoys and
subjects that appear in Ephesians.
NKJV 1Samuel 17:51-53 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of the sheath,
and killed him, cutting off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
And the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley and to the
gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines lay along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron. The
children of Israel returned from pursuing the Philistines and plundered their camps. Another law is: if the boss
is already defeated, we should not go to fight against him, but only tell his armies that in the name of the one
who defeated them (Jesus), we have authority over them, many people teach us to cast out the devil and he is
not involved in anyone, that only wears out Christians. The devil only manages the unclean spirits, and what
must be done is: bind and cast out the Philistines (unclean spirits) that are in the midst of our Canaan (us).

Let us understand what deliverance is, sometimes the Christian's problems are not a matter of demons but of
flesh, there are people who think they are demon possessed and what they have are bad habits: flesh, there are
regions that are preferred as Gadara, to be raided by unclean spirits. Gadara was a place dedicated to raising
pigs, unclean spirits seek out pig farms, and these little animals cannot live in clean places, they only like dirt
and mess, they like to eat on the ground, and drink from puddles. When a person becomes a swine breeder:
disorderly, rebellious to authority, drinks from any source of speech, does not want to leave his past life, likes to

8
3
live in communion with the world and its customs, this person is exposing himself to an incursion of unclean
spirits.

CONCLUSIONS
1. This tells us about two things: ministry is inner healing, it is the subjugation of the flesh, and deliverance
is the casting out of unclean spirits.
2. He who ministers and allows himself to be ministered to will not need deliverance.
3. He will need deliverance who did not allow himself to be ministered to, and the flesh has opened doors
so wide that they are now possessed by unclean spirits.
4. The devil does not possess anyone, because he is not on earth, those who possess are the unclean
spirits.
5. Demonic manifestations with screams, blows, strange voices, excretions and so on, are nothing more
than that: manifestations.
6. The fact that a demon manifests itself does not mean that it has already left and the person is liberated.
7. The evidence that a person has been liberated is that they change their way of life, they change their
relationship with God, and there is fruit of the Spirit.
8. The unclean spirits seek clean and empty houses, people who have received Christ as
They have been baptized, but they are not in the habit of congregating, reading the Bible, praying, etc.
And therefore they cannot give up their bad habits.

THE MINISTRY
NKJV Proverbs 28:13 He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes
them will obtain mercy.
INTRODUCTION
It has been scientifically proven that more than 50% of illnesses are psychosomatic, that is to say, that they
have their origin in problems of the psyche (soul) that are reflected in the soma (body). The clinical treatment of
these ailments, is summarized to reduce physical and intellectual activity (rest) to reduce the pressure, fatigue,
tiredness or any other inner ailment to change the image of what will be reflected in the body, ie: removing the
problem in the soul, we will remove the problem in the body.

In the Christian life we face different internal conflicts that reflect a negative external attitude, be it illness,
stress, depression, etc. that cause discomfort and prevent us from developing towards the stage of mature
children. The Christian treatment for these afflictions, is ministration.
Please don't confuse ministering with psychology, because one and the other are totally different from each
other, the only similarity is that in one you confess your faults in front of a psychologist, and in the other you
confess them in front of a minister. Psychology is a tool that the devil uses to deceive the Christian, teaching
him to accept and live with the problems of his soul, it does not erase them, it only buries them inside the same
person, that is why one never stops going to the psychologist, because the problems that he buries today will
bear fruit tomorrow. On the contrary, the ministry has the objective of eliminating problems, not burying them,
thus avoiding future problems. In addition, the second objective of the ministry is to heal the diseases that are
subject to the problems of the soul.

Ministration to the soul is of vital importance for the development of our new life in Christ, it cleanses us from
conflicts, prevents falls, heals diseases, cleanses us from impurities and restores us from problems in our soul.

8
4
For example, a ministry must be guided by an anointed minister of the Lord (although for God there are no
archetypes because He is sovereign), but there are cases in which we ourselves can and should take an active
part, ministering to our soul.
The Ministry is a service to our integral being: It is everything that comes to be like a refreshment, a rest, a
comfort, a cleansing, a liberation to our soul and also to our spirit. It is to placate by the Spirit the intentions of
the flesh, the ministry serves to help the Christian who desires to advance in his career. Through this grace
given by God to the church, it is possible to detect attachments, deformities, vices of the soul, inheritances and
everything that was sown in life without Christ.

All ministration should have as its objective the deliverance of the soul from evils that affect the sufferer. WHY
DO WE NEED MINISTRATION? Because we have received a series of defilements in our soul or in our spirit.
Which may have given rise to laws in our members from which we should long to be free.

2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, beloved, since we have such promises, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement
of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
NKJV Romans 7:5 For while we lived in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused through the law were at work in
our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
NKJV Romans 7:17 So then it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
NKJV Romans 7:23 But I see in my members a different law that fights against the law of my mind and chains
me with the law of sin that is in my members.
We see how there are sinful passions in our body that later became laws that have been placed in our
members, and these laws are the ones that push us to sin, that is why man cannot with his humanism leave sin,
he who smokes even if he leaves it for a while sooner or later falls again, he who drinks, even if he has the
strength to leave it for a while sooner or later falls again, because it is a law that dwells, that lives in his body
and in his members, and that only by eliminating that law the person can be truly free, because it is a law that
dwells, that lives in his body and in his members. really be free.

NKJV Romans 6:12-14 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its evil desires. And do
not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being
alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you, since you are not under law, but under grace.
There is a big difference between sin dwelling in our being (Rom 7:17), and sin reigning in our body (Rom 6:12),
as long as Christ reigns in our being sin may be there at the door, but deactivated and unfruitful, but if we allow
sin to reign then we will constantly be lending our body to sin, and this is where ministration comes in, for it is
through ministration that the laws that push our body to sin are detected, and once detected they must be
abrogated and the grace of God given through the Sacrifice of Christ put in their place.

SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION IN HUMAN LIFE:

There are different ways and times in which the human being could be activated or programmed to obey sin,
and they range from pre-existence, that is, before birth, to maturity or adulthood.

1. In the pre-existence: Pre-existential sin results in genetic damage when the spirit enters the body. It is a
contamination by decisions made before having a body and living on earth.
NKJV John 9:1-2 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from birth . And his disciples asked him, saying,
"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
If he was blind from birth: How was it possible that this man sinned before he was born? This allows us to see
only one possibility: that before being born here on earth we already lived as spirits, and in that condition, it is
also possible to sin, the consequences of that sin are reflected in the body at birth here on earth, it is important
to clarify:
WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT REINCARNATION, REINCARNATION IS A DIABOLICAL DOCTRINE
THAT PRETENDS TO DISTORT AND DESTROY THE REALITY OF OUR CELESTIAL PRE-EXISTENCE AS
SPIRITS BEFORE BEING BORN AS HUMAN BEINGS.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT INCARNATION: THE PROCESS BY WHICH A SPIRIT LEAVES GOD AND IS
PLACED IN A HUMAN BODY FOR ONLY ONE TIME, AFTER WHICH, UPON DEATH, IT MUST FACE A
JUDGMENT TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF WHAT IT DID IN THE BODY, AND BE REWARDED OR

8
5
DESTROYED FOR THOSE ACTS, NEVER, NEVER AFTER DEATH IS IT GIVEN A BODY APART FROM THE
ONE IT ALREADY HAD.
PRATT Hebrews 9:27 And for the same reason that it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this
judgment shall follow,
The other light that shines on us is that it is possible for the sins of the parents to be reflected in the bodies of
the children, that is why the question was if the parents had sinned, we must guard ourselves out of love for our
children so that they do not carry the burden of our sin. An interesting question is: are congenital defects the
physical image of some sins?

NKJV 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive
the things done in the body, according to what he has done in the body, whether good or bad.
From here we can derive the reality that we are not a body with a spirit, but a spirit that was placed inside a
body, and it is necessary for us to have the awareness that we will give an account of what we did while we
inhabited (as spirits) inside this body. The body is only a vehicle for the Spirit.

NKJV Acts 1:24-25 Then they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two
you have chosen to take the place of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas went astray to go to his
own place."
Judas, pre-existentially, was already destined to be lost, for being a spirit he had already made his choice to
serve the devil, that is why it says in this passage that he already had a place of his own: hell. That is why not
everyone who preaches and performs signs is of God, for Judas was among the twelve when they were sent to
preach and perform signs and he was a devil (adversary), but no one realized it, only the Lord Jesus Christ, that
is why it is necessary to weigh the ministries against the word before accepting what they do and preach.

1.1 In the heavenly places. When were you there?

NKJV Ephesians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Likewise he chose us in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.
This is our guarantee and hope in Christ, that He chose us before sending us to be born into the world, He knew
us and selected us since we were spirits, so that we would come to recognize and serve Him here on earth.

1.2 Priests who had physical problems.

NKJV Leviticus 21:17 "Speak to Aaron and say to him, 'Throughout their generations, no descendant of yours
who has any blemish shall come near to offer the bread of his God.
For Aaron's priesthood, priests were selected by God from pre-existence, there they were examined and
approved for this service, that is why those born with physical defects were immediately excluded from any
service as priests.

2. Mother's Womb: Consecrated from that period of life:

2.1 Sanson
Judges 13:5 For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; no razor shall pass over his head, for the child shall
be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.
This Judge of Israel was chosen for a service since he was in his mother's womb, and his failures at birth were
the product of the mother's sins while in the womb.

2.2 John the Baptist

Luke 1:15 For he shall be great before the Lord; he shall drink neither wine nor liquor, and shall be filled with
the Holy Ghost even from his mother's womb.
This prophet was chosen from the womb, and instructions were given as to the things that were not to be
practiced by him, and furthermore, he was filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb.

2.3 Sick from there:

NKJV Matthew 9:2 And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a stretcher; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said
to the paralytic, "Cheer up, son; your sins are forgiven you.
NKJV Matthew 9:6 For that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (then he

8
6
 said* to the paralytic), "Arise, take up your mat and go home.
This man's paralysis was not the product of sickness but of sin, because he was able to get up until his sins
were forgiven.

NKJV ACTS 14:8 Now there was a certain man sitting in Lystra, disabled in his feet, lame from his mother's
womb, and who had never walked.
This man was crippled in his mother's womb, today there are many clinical reasons for these defects, drugs,
cigarettes, liquor, etc, and that brings us back to the point of sin, because according to the scripture everything
that attempts against our body is sin.

NKJV Mark 5:33-34 Then the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, went and
fell down before him and told him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in
peace and be healed of your scourge.
This woman was damaged as an adult, her many sins had taken such a toll on her body that it was impossible
to stop the effects of that damage. His healing was subject to his faith and the forgiveness of his sins.
MKJV Mark 10:51-52 And Jesus answered him, saying, "What do you want me to do to you? The blind man
said to him, "Rabbi, may I regain my sight. Jesus said to him, "Go away. Your faith has saved you. At once he
regained his sight, and was following Jesus on the road.
This man had become blind because of sin, that is why his healing was subject to the forgiveness of sins, that is
why the Lord did not say to them "your faith has healed you", because they did not need healing but forgiveness
and cleansing of sins, and as a consequence of forgiveness they were healed of their infirmities.

NKJV Luke 17:17-19 And Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten who were cleansed? And the nine,
where are they? Was there no one to return and give glory to God but this stranger? -And he said to him,
"Arise, go your way; your faith has saved you.
In this story ten lepers approach Jesus to be healed, but only one of them came back to Jesus to recognize him
as the healer, but Jesus forgave their sins, as if giving them to understand that what they needed was a savior
and then their leprosy, which was a product of sin, would disappear definitively.

3) Ancestry, the genetic inheritance we receive from three generations ago.

NKJV 1Peter 1:18 Keep in mind that you were ransomed from your futile way of life, which you inherited from
your fathers, not with corruptible things like gold or silver,
What is inherited are sin receptors, not the sin itself, to make us prone. It is not the mouth that contaminates but
what comes out of the heart, our ancestors were able to open doors and be altered in their genetics and pass
this on to their descendants.
An example is that Levi, being the fourth generation, tithed on Abraham's loins.
Our body existed before we were born, within our ancestors, Adam's body existed before being formed by God,
in what form? As dust of the earth, matter is not destroyed, it is only transformed; before the child is in the
mother's womb, did its body exist? Yes, it existed as sperm in the loins of its ancestors.
NKJV Hebrews 7:9 And as it were, in the person of Abraham also Levi, the recipient of tithes, gave a tithe.
For Levi was still in his father's loins when he gave the tithe to Melchizedek. From this it is inferred that Levi's
body existed in the loins of his father. Today this fact is scientifically verifiable with genetic maps that reveal how
genes are transferred from the first to the fourth generation.

4) In Childhood
Mistakes of parents provoke receivers, sins done or received even in innocence contaminate.
NKJV 2Samuel 4:4 Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was crippled in his feet. He was five years old when
the news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him and fled. And it
happened that when he was running away in a hurry, the child fell and became lame. His name was
Mephibosheth.
There are many men and women who in their childhood were damaged not only by relatives (parents, aunts,
uncles, grandparents, etc.) but by outsiders, a rape, an abuse, a blow, there are so many things that can leave
a child's soul marked for the rest of his life, that is why we must take care of them with zeal.

8
7
5) Aware of the bad:
It contaminates when we sin knowing that we do wrong by the dictates of conscience, unbelief is a door to be
contaminated.
NKJV Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law; and as
many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
NKJV Romans 2:14 For when Gentiles who have no law practice by nature the contents of the law, though they
have no law, they are a law unto themselves.
NKJV Romans 2:15 for they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness,
and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and sometimes defending them,
NKJV Romans 2:16 in the day when, according to my gospel, God shall judge the secrets of men by Christ
Jesus.

6) Christians, after having been forgiven:

NKJV John 5:14 Then Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you are healed; sin no more, lest
something worse happen to you.
By sinning knowingly and purposely, being already Christians, worse diseases may come.

7) By demons or unclean spirits.

NKJV Matthew 12:43-45 When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he wanders through dry places
seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, "I will return to my house from whence I came out." When he
returns, he finds it unoccupied, swept and decorated. Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits
worse than himself. And after entering, they dwell there; and the final state of that man becomes worse than
the first. So it will also happen to this perverse generation.

source of decontamination or release:

A) The blood of the Lord Jesus shed for salvation and sprinkled for regeneration (1 Peter 1:3).
B) Water baptism is the first ministration to the soul where the old or sinful man is reduced to impotence or
legally abolished (Romans 6:6).
C) The Holy Supper that strengthens us, heals us, and gives us life because it can transform our genetics (1
Corinthians 11:30).
D) Praise with anointing can set us free (1 Samuel 16:23).
E) The preached word frees us, cleanses us because it is life and it is Spirit, (John. 15:3).
F) Trial and suffering uncover the affected areas and lead us to perfection.
G) The confession of sins, (Proverbs 28:13) which consists in expressing with our lips all that is weighty and
sinful to God, and also to men when necessary.

NKJV Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, having so great a cloud of witnesses around us, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before
us,
NKJV Numbers 5:7 He shall confess the sin he has committed and make full restitution for the wrong he has
done. On it he shall add the fifth part and give it to the one to whom he had done the damage.
NKJV Luke 5:14 And Jesus commanded him to tell no one, but said to him, "Go and show yourself to the priest,
and give for your cleansing the offering which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
NKJV Acts 19:18 Many also of those who had believed continued to come, confessing and declaring the things
they practiced.
NKJV James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be
healed. The fervent prayer of the righteous, working effectively, can do much.

An important requirement for both the one who ministers and the one who is ministered to must be the guidance
of the Holy Spirit.
The most important area of our integral being to minister to is the soul, which is where the feelings, will and
intellect are located. It is the seat of the individual's personality, and is the place where the devil can deceive our
senses (Genesis. 3:1-6 and 2 Cor. 11:3).

God begins a cleansing process in us from the inside out. That is, from the spirit to the soul and then to the

8
8
body. The figure can be seen in the resurrection of Lazarus (John. 11:39-44) as Jesus does the impossible
(resurrecting him) and delegates to his disciples what is possible: To loose Lazarus from his hands (his works),
from his feet (his walk), and to remove his shroud (to untie his mind, to cleanse his thoughts, his eyes, his smell,
his speech, and his hearing), so that in this way what the Lord Jesus said may be fulfilled: I will give them life
(eternal in their spirit) and life in abundance which is Canaan (in their soul).

8
9
 Our soul is attacked in different ways and can fall into a process of degeneration whose end is to cause
spiritual death if it is not properly ministered to:

OPRESSION
They can be caused by unclean spirits that manipulate feelings, thoughts and emotions,
activating memories, fears or past problems, (1 Sam. 16:14).
OBSESSION They may be fixed (bad) ideas that prevent the entry of other (good) ideas.
COMPULSION The enemy can come to have total control of the mind, feelings, will and can produce
hallucinations or delusions, Judges 16:16.
POSSESSION It occurs in someone who becomes irreversibly apostatized, the body, soul and spirit are
taken, as an example we have Saul, (1Samuel 18:10). Saul was a Christian, (1Samuel 10:9-
10).
DIFFERENT STEPS FOR MINISTRATION:

OIR Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17 and Deut. 6:4).
COUNSELOR'S Counseling should be based on the word of God and not on personal experiences,
OFFICE allowing the blessed Holy Spirit to give wisdom and intelligence. This is done by the
minister and delegated persons.
RELEASE There must be discernment of spirits in the one who ministers in order to act with
security, and anointing of deliverance so that in the name of Jesus every demon and
every unclean spirit may depart.
REPROGRAMMING This goes specifically to the orientation of the one being ministered to, regarding bad
OF THE SOUL habits (customs) in his soul that must be replaced by good ones, and that to achieve
this, humiliation is needed to recognize the bad and desire to convert, which is a
change of attitude.
OUR SPIRIT ALSO NEEDS MINISTRATION:
NKJV Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. David spoke these
words because the spirit is prone to suffer as well:

1. Bitterness Genesis. 26:33-35

Tribulation 1 Samuel. 1:15
3. Breach Psalm. 51:17
4. Haughtiness Proverbs. 16:18
5. Affliction Ecclesiastes. 4:4
6. Sadness Isaiah. 54:6-8
7. Discouragement Isaiah 61:2-3

"The Ministrations To Soul"

(Basic: it is to know the soul)
NKJ John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and
that they may have it more abundantly.

The soul
It is the inner part of man and woman and in which we should long for abundant life before the well-being of
the body, although physical health is also part of God's gift, but among the priorities of God's work in us, the
soul is the one that needs to be free. Let us remember that for the soul the most costly price was paid: "The
life of Christ".

The integration of our soul.

Will Neutral party by means of which we make decisions

9
0
Mind Part of the soul that receives, processes and records all information, both negative and positive
experiences.
Emotions They allow us to express what we individually are, love, sadness or joy etc.
Soul conditions.

1. The soul forgets: an unministered soul forgets that it has been the object of mercy and lives in fear.
NKJV Psalm 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of his benefits.

2. The soul as the source: from it emanates all kinds of evils that contaminate man, the Bible compares it to
the heart, which is also deceitful.
NKJV Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, fornications, thefts,
murders, adulteries, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and folly. All these
evils come from within, and contaminate man.
NKJ Jeremiah17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and without remedy; who can understand it?

3. The soul has appetites: the soul can stimulate the body to crave certain things
NKJV Pro 13:25 The righteous eats his fill, but the belly of the wicked suffers scarcity.

4. The unfaithful soul: because of the attractions of the things of the world can be unfaithful to God.
NKJ James 4:4 O adulterous souls! Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity toward God?
Therefore, he who wants to be a friend of the world constitutes himself an enemy of God.

5. The soul is contaminated: the soul is like a sponge that is easily contaminated by all kinds of evil.
NKJV Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; both the soul of the father and the soul of the son are mine. The
soul that sins, it shall die.

The order of the Integral being

Body As a vehicle that executes orders, fig. A carriage
Alma The one that must receive the orders and give the direction to the body, fig. As a horse that has
strength.
Spirit The guide who gives the orders, fig. The rider.

It is when the soul and spirit are at odds that suffering and problems are perceived. It is what we commonly
call affliction. The purpose of ministering is to identify the causes of evil and that the order of the integral
being returns to its proper function.

THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT

NKJV Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: for these are
contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye delight in.

x A conflict is waged within everyone who comes to Christ and it is the change of nature.
x The carnal on the other hand lives satisfying the desires of the flesh, he occupies his mind with the things of
the flesh (Rom. 8:5), these desires later become passions.
NKJV Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but
those who live according to the Spirit, on the things of the Spirit.
x The word flesh is sarx in Greek and this is the weakest part of human nature. Weak or sick according to some
versions, we could well define the flesh as the interaction of our soul with our body, without any mediation
of the spirit to regulate.
NKJV Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the
flesh is weak.
x The flesh must be cleansed in a basic ministration, in this phase demons are not necessarily cast out but
rather it is required to learn to live in discipline i.e. self-control, this is achieved by the word. x This can be
achieved because the Bible says so (2 Corinthians 7:1), the desire to do it and the willpower are necessary.

9
1
x If this is not achieved by the believer it may no longer be carnality but rather unclean spirits.

WORKS OF THE FLESH.

1 Peter 2:11 Beloved , I beseech you as strangers and sojourners, abstain from fleshly passions, which war
against the soul.
x If the works of the flesh remain for a long time as flesh they become law and then they are spirit
problems.
x Let us see what are the works of the flesh:
NKJV Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: Immorality, impurity, sensuality,
idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, rivalry, dissensions, sectarianism, envy, drunkenness,
carousing and the like, against which I warn you, as I have told you before, that those who practice such
things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Note that it says those who practice these works, will not inherit, there will be no kingdom for them, they will
have no inheritance, they will probably be saved, but they will live far from God and his glory, they themselves
will have no glory, they will have to purify themselves in the fire of the great tribulation. Why?
NKJV 1 John 3:9 Everyone who has been born of God does not practice sin, for God's seed remains in him, and
he cannot sin any longer, because he has been born of God.
Pay attention: he who has been born of God does not practice sin, because if he is the seed of God, he should
no longer continue practicing the same sin, there must come a time when he leaves it, this is very important,
because if someone says he has been born again, but continues to be involved in sin without showing any
change or desire to leave it, most likely he has not been born, he is probably begotten, and in this state he can
be aborted. He who is born again flees from sin.
NKJV 1 Corinthians 3:15 If anyone's work is consumed by fire, he will suffer loss; yet he will be saved, even as
by fire.
Note that all who are truly born, not all mankind], will give account, and ALL THEIR WORKS, carnal and
spiritual will be tested, and all will be saved, but not all will inherit. The punishment or discipline of those who did
not abandon sinful practices will be to live far from God. We do not know in what condition, but they will not be
able to have the same privileges that the consecrated had. NOTE THAT WE ARE SAYING THAT HE WHO IS
BORN AGAIN AND DOES NOT DENY HIS FAITH IS SAVED. BUT INHERITANCE AND REWARD WILL BE
ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT THE PRACTICES OF SIN.

DAVID AND THE MINISTRY

The Bible shows us a character that having the anointing upon him, suffered from sadness, depression,
impatience, etc., this man is David and in the book of Psalms shows us how he speaks to his soul: the spirit of
David speaking to the soul of David, and speaks to him by the Spirit words of life for restoration. It is important
to point out that God wants the best for us, he wants us to develop, not to be prostrated. There are five
opportunities in which David speaks to his soul, and in each one he ministers to a specific problem. Let's take a
look at these cases:

1) Depression
Psalms 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul, and art troubled within me? Wait for God, for I shall yet
praise him. He is the salvation of my being,
One of the causes that provoke depression in the Christian life is no longer feeling the presence of the Lord
after having felt it, no longer having communion with the Lord (Ps 42:2 and 4), David experienced this feeling in
his life and for this reason he wept day and night without having the comfort of anyone (Ps 42:3). We see that
the situation David is going through is terrible as three times he mentions the depression he is suffering.

Solution
Psalms 42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore I remember thee from the land of Jordan,
and from the tops of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
To remember God from the Jordan (the one who descends), that is, to remember the one who descended
bearing our faults and sins so that we might go free, Christ Jesus. In addition, we see other men such as Paul,
who invites us to remember his prisons (Col 4:18, e.g., "The Lord's Prayer"). Acts 16:25). This means finding
consolation also in those who descended with good testimony.

9
2
2) Impatience, desperation
NKJV Psalm 62:5 O my soul, rest in God alone, for my hope is from him.
Many times we show impatience in secular life or in the Lord's work, we want everything to be done as soon as
possible. Injustice is also the cause of a restlessness of the soul, which expects to act, to answer, to defend
itself, to take revenge.

SOLUTION
To keep silence, to be silent before the Lord. To put the brakes on the soul that wants to take the reins and
remind it that the one who rules in us is our spirit guided by the Holy Spirit.

3) Guilt
NKJV 1Samuel 17:4 Then there came out of the armies of the Philistines a champion named Goliath from Gath.
His height was six cubits and a span.
NKJV 1Samuel 17:8 Then he stood still and cried out to the army of Israel, saying, "Why do you go out to
prepare for battle? Am not I the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose from among you a man who
will come against me!
NKJV 1Samuel 17:16 The Philistine approached in the morning and in the evening, appearing in this way for
forty days.
The man who feels guilty, can do nothing. An impressive figure of the enemy's activity against us is in Goliath
who rose up in the morning and in the evening, at the time of the sacrifice to frighten and terrify. When we are in
the presence of the Lord, the devil wants to attack us by making us feel guilty.

SOLUTION
NKJV Psalm 103:3-5 He it is who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your
life from the pit, who crowns you with favor and mercy, who satisfies your longings with good things, so that
you may be rejuvenated like an eagle.
Our God is a merciful God who forgives all our debts to him. The Lord's thoughts are continually to do us good
(Jeremiah 29:11). Let us remember that the Devil is already defeated, Christ defeated him on the cross of
Calvary.

4) Eagerness ( NKJV, NKJV)

NKJV Psalm 116:7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the LORD has filled you with good things.
It is not possible to work in the Lord's work under the rudiments of the world, which demand to do everything by
competition. This attitude provokes eagerness in the minister and in all the ministry's collaborators. This does
not mean that the work is not planned, but that it must be done with a vision, which is pursued under the
anointing of the Holy Spirit, who will not let us be anxious.

9
3
SOLUTION
Return to God's rest. To enter the rest we must recover the vision, the first love, the first works, recover the
desire to do God's will.

5) Victoria
NKJV Psalm 146:1 Hallelujah! O my soul, praise the LORD. I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing
praises to my God as long as I am alive.
At this stage, the soul is no longer asked to rest, to be silent, to remember, etc., but to praise it because it has
done its work by removing depression, impatience, guilt and eagerness. After asking his soul to praise Jehovah,
David asks others to praise Jehovah (Psalms 148:1, 148:7, 150:1). The Song of Songs says "draw me
(personal) and we will run after you (group)" Song of Solomon 1:4. It denotes the attitude of the leader, who
goes to the front and not to the side or behind.

Conclusions
1. We must not allow our soul to rule in us, but our spirit guided by the spirit of Christ. For if the soul rules,
the government is matriarchal.
2. Our soul is faced with four major problems which are: Depression, guilt, impatience and eagerness.
3. More than 50% of diseases are classified as psychosomatic, i.e. they do not originate in the human
organism but are the result of disorders of the soul.
4. Ministry is not a Christian psychology, because it does not try to understand the soul, nor to study it, but to
heal it and reprogram it for the good.
5. Walking in the flesh was the way of life before satisfying deceitful desires.
6. In basic ministration it is determined whether a problem is flesh or whether it is a demon or unclean spirit.
7. The best ministry is the ministry of the word, if for some reason this is not enough, the next step is
deliverance.
8. Ministry is a lifelong process through which our spirit and soul are renewed (made anew). In such a way
that the laws of our members are being abolished and we are becoming free in our integral being.
9. The ministry is not the confession of sins or faults to our best friend, but to a minister or authority
delegated for that purpose.
10. Confession before a minister or delegate is necessary when a sin or transgression causes a very heavy
burden on our soul, such that depression or even stress sets in. In this step of the ministry, avoid trivial
details and go straight to the heart of the problem.
11 The correct way to minister is that men do it with men (delegates), and women with women (delegates), if
in a ministry the intervention of the minister is necessary, and it is a woman, he should not do it alone but
with the presence of the delegate who already knows the case.
12 The born again flee from sin and do not practice it, although sometimes they are caught.
13 . He who practices sin, surely has only been begotten, is about to be aborted.

Chapter

 20
RECEIVERS
NKJV James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by
God; for God cannot be tempted by evil and He Himself tempts no one. NKJV James 1:14 But each one is
tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own passion.
NASB James 1:15 Then when passion has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is finished, it brings
forth death.

The communication process is very simple because all that is needed is a transmitter that sends signals and
within these signals are encoded messages that are expected to be received and decoded by a receiver which
in turn returns the message received already decoded and understood, this is called feedback.

It is necessary for this process to take place that both transmitters and receivers exist so that the transmitted
signals have a meaning or value. The function of the receiver is that all the signals that carry a message are
returned or answered with an action or response, it is as if we were talking about stimulus and response, that
every action must have a reaction.

Let us remember that we saw in the study of deliverance how in Canaan there are two well established orders:
one is to conquer the 31 kings that were found as native kings and the other is to cast out the seven foreign
kings and this helped us to understand: that the flesh must be subjugated and the unclean spirits (which are the
foreign ones) must be cast out, we also said that if there is a subjugated flesh there will be no demons to cast
out, the flies will leave when there is no more flesh.
This introduction is necessary because we have to analyze in the light of scripture how we are stalked by the
enemy. In the text of James we find the process that the side of darkness uses, for in order to operate, it first
needs to engender sin.

O Temptation delivers its message

Or and concupiscence or passion receives it, and becomes pregnant with temptation.
Or passion, once developed, gives birth to sin.
O and sin begets death

If there is no ovum to fertilize, sperm can do nothing, it is the law of life. Let us note that if there were no passion
to receive that message, sin would not be born, it is a war of transmitters and receivers, of pitcher and catcher,
the devil needs to have receivers in us so that when he sends his messages of darkness we are defeated and
our response is negative towards God and positive towards sin.

Error Levels:
It is necessary in this part of the study that we differentiate between the errors that are committed with the body,
soul and spirit, because the last operation of the devil before the rapture of the church will be an operation of
error, of confusion.
NKJV Psalm 32:5 I showed you my sin, and I did not conceal my iniquity. I said: I will confess my
transgressions to the LORD; and you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)
NKJ Psalm 32:6 Therefore shall all the faithful pray to you in the time when you may be found. Certainly in the
flood the rushing waters will not reach him

1. I will confess my transgressions.

2. I manifested my sin.
3. I did not cover up my iniquity.

9
5
Let's see how David opens up the panorama a little more, and allows us to see that there are different levels
where the damage of the messages sent by the devil reaches.

MEANING OF TRANSGRESSION:
A) It is crossing the boundary that marks the separation between holiness and sin.
B) Breaking a law, where there is no law there is also no transgression. Death reigned from Adam, even over
those who had not sinned with a transgression like that of Adam.

NKJV Romans 4:15 For the law produces wrath; but where there is no law, there is also no
transgression.
NKJV Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not
sin with an offense like that of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.
NKJV Romans 5:16 Nor is the gift like the sin of that one; for judgment indeed arose from one offense unto
condemnation, but grace arose from many offenses unto justification.
NKJV Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
many will be made righteous.
NKJV 1 Timothy 2:14 Moreover Adam was not deceived; but the woman, being deceived, transgressed.

C) A misstep, an error, literally a "fall to the side", a deviation from righteousness and truth, a fault or crime,
NKJV Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident. These are: fornication, impurity, debauchery,
NKJV Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if anyone is entangled in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore such
a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.

MEANING OF SIN:
A) Missing the target.
B) Moral distortion, source of the action.
C) Organized power acting through the members of the body, the seat of sin is in the will, not the commission
of an act but the continuous course, the practice of sin.
NKJV Romans 6:6 And we know that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that we should no longer be slaves of sin;

MEANING OF INIQUITY (injustice):

A) Lawless, to reject the law in an attitude of rebellion, to act and live outside the law of God.
B) Doing what is against the law, manifestations of rebellion against the law, rejection of God's law,
substitute one's own will for God's will.
C) Evil, denotes that which is useless, belongs to a lower order of things.
D) Total absence of regret for an attitude or action.

Example of Iniquities: By the continued and repeated practice of a transgression, one comes to commit major
sins for which there is no repentance and which then reach the degree of iniquity.

GENESIS 4 Cain kills his brother

2. GENESIS 49:5 Murder and violence of simeo and levi
3. 1 SAMUEL 3:14 Eli broke the law when he was high priest
4. DEUTERONOMY 21:18 The sons of Eli despised the Lord's offering
5. 2 PETER 2:16 Balaam the sold-out prophet
6. EXODUS 20 Idolatry, worship of demons.
7. LEVITICO 18:20 Illicit sex

When we were called out of Egypt we were called not only to salvation but to enter into Canaan, into life in
abundance to be absolutely free but sometimes we see ourselves locked in prisons of ungodliness, bitterness,
etc., but God wants to free us and for that purpose He gives us the rudiments, the mysteries and secrets, but
God wants to liberate us and for that purpose he gives us the rudiments, the mysteries, and the secrets, if we
use them badly the brothers can be admired of the teaching but it will not change their way and condition of life,
then it is very useful for us to be free, and for that purpose he gives us the rudiments, the mysteries, and the

9
6
secrets.Sometimes others, without pretending to do so or being willing, are moved by the Holy Spirit and do
things that provoke a change in people like Pilate: without being converted and in a mocking tone he sent to
write an evangelistic message on the cross of Jesus: "This is Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews", and
the thief believed it and was saved, God uses the word of someone to convert hearts.

The rudiments, mysteries and secrets of God are together the "sound doctrine" of God for his people and are
not to impress anyone but to live life in abundance, the one who describes and exhorts to follow sound doctrine
in the church are the apostles, the apostle Paul said:
NKJV Philippians 4:11-13 I do not say this because I am lacking, for I have learned to be content with what I
have. I know how to live in poverty, and I know how to live in abundance. In every place and in every
circumstance, I have learned the secret of coping with both fullness and hunger, with both abundance and
want. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

Mystery comes from the Greek Musterion which means "a secret revealed", and in this verse of Philippians we
see how for Paul life in abundance had ceased to be a secret because he says "I have been shown the secret
of life in abundance", and then he gives it to us and it becomes the mystery "I can do all things in Christ".
To be happy in abundance or in scarcity we need to know the sound doctrine and understand the mystery "I can
do all things in Christ", although the doctrine has unfathomable and sometimes incomprehensible depths, we
must strive to understand it because it not only has intellectual depths, it also has practical depths for our life, to
make us happy: we will be totally happy when we are totally free, we will be totally free when we totally know
the truth.

We need to be liberated from many things that are in our soul, the kingdom of darkness to kill and separate us
from God, places sin receptors in us to receive the messages of its transmissions.

LUZBEL FELL FOR HAVING A RECEIVER

NKJV Ezekiel 28:14-16 You protective cherub with outstretched wings, I have placed you there. You were on the
holy mountain of God, you walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were perfect in your ways from the
day you were created until iniquity was found in you. Because of the abundance of your trade you were filled
with violence, and you sinned; therefore I have cast you out as profane from the mountain of God, and I have
removed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

How to make a cherub fall? if it was coverage? It was impossible, God had him living in his holy mountain with
all the blessings and he was "perfect" no matter how many darts the enemy threw at him, the communication
process was not completed (the enemy of that time, because luzbel was not the first to fall, the first to fall was
death, then iniquity, and these inherited to luzbel when he fell). If the pitcher wants to get an out he must have a
catcher, and that was what was missing to bring down Luzbel, a perfect being. The earth itself, in order to
destroy it, receivers were placed on it, it was full of violence, that is why in order for the Lord to come we have to
fill it with the knowledge of God, there are cities full of violence, there are dwellings full of violence and even the
house of the Lord is full of violence and fraud.

9
7
NKJV Zephaniah 1:9 In that day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, those who fill the house of
their lord with violence and deceit.
Although Luzbel was perfect, iniquity was found in him (for lack of this knowledge many Christians live a
dwindling gospel without change in their lives), because iniquity, an already existing entity, rebelled against
God since ancient times, knew that to make Luzbel a dead being, separated from God, it had to push him to
sin so that he would rebel against God, how did it do it?

NKJV Ezekiel 28:16 'Because of the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and you
sinned; therefore I have expelled you as profane from the mountain of God, and I have removed you, O
covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
He could not make Luzbel wicked just like that, because he was perfect, so he then places a receiver of
violence that would then allow the entrance of sin to finally kill him, and make him a son of iniquity. It is exactly
the same work they do in us, they place receptors that allow sin to enter and ultimately rebellion against God.

If the woman has no egg (the recipient), she cannot become pregnant (sin). There may be many sperm
(temptation) but if there is no ovum (receptor) to receive and host them, it is impossible to conceive (sin), and
therefore to give birth (death). If there is an ovum and sperm, and it is conceived, while it is only sin (embryo)
it can be aborted, but once it gives birth to death, a different release is necessary.

When a temptation from the enemy comes to us, we must be intelligent and take it as a warning and realize
that we have activated a receiver of that nature, and once detected we must reduce it to impotence through
ministry, listening to the word, praise and worship, there are many ways to dynamite them or fight them, we
must understand that these are not demons, they are codes in our being that must be deactivated.

The Lord Jesus Christ was tempted in all things but he had no receivers of any kind, the devil in his
eagerness and desire to destroy him tried to put receivers on him when he tempted him by saying "throw
yourself" and Jesus said "no" the one I must obey is my Father. When they beat Him unjustly, they said to
Him, "Prophesy to us who beat you," to fill His heart with bitterness and to put a catcher on Him so that He
could not reach the cross as a pure lamb, but He did not allow them to put the catcher on Him and like a
dumb lamb He was led to the slaughter, temptation could not find a place in Him because He had no catcher
for sin. Although he partook of the same nature as we do, he did not sin, because he had to carry our sins to
the cross.

WE ARE NOT UNAWARE OF THE DEVIL'S MACHINATIONS

NKJV 2Corinthians 2:11 lest Satan take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices. We have
understood that what Satan wants to do is to get a positive response to the stimuli that he sends us through
temptation, he will try at all costs to throw all kinds of temptations at us hoping to find active receptors in us
that will make us fall under the weight of sin.
In order to eradicate receptors we first need to know where to look for them, we need to know when these
receptors were placed and there are various times or epochs when the devil does this.

1. BEFORE BIRTH
NKJV John 9:1-2 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from birth . And his disciples asked him, saying,
"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
It is shocking to know that there were contaminations before entering the earth, it is terrible to know these
realities, but this allows us to broaden our panorama and we see that there is a cause and effect, that there is
a sender and a receiver, because for him to be born blind there were only two ways: one that the blind man
had sinned and the second that his parents had sinned, and it is worth asking ourselves the question: can one
sin before being born? Can ancestral sins cause us problems in the present? Let us recall the distinctions that
appear in Psalm 32 and that we defined at the beginning of the study:

9
8
 1. TRANSGRESSIO BODY SOUL SPIRIT
2. N SIN INIQUITY
3. We could also ask ourselves the question: can ancestral blessings reach us
today? Let us remember how Levi was benefited because his great-grandfather
Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, in the same way the negative side acts.
We will take this opportunity to contribute something very important to the subject of the ministration that we
have already dealt with previously, and that is that psychology does not eliminate the receptors: it teaches to
live with them, that is why although the person was apparently cured of his evil, when the children grow up
suddenly develop the same evil, or worse, that is because the receptor was not eliminated, and therefore
transferred as a code in the genetics of the offspring, this explains why the children of alcoholics turn out with
the same problem, mothers who married with alcoholics turn out with the same problem, mothers who
married with alcoholics turn out with the same problem, mothers who married with alcoholics turn out with the
same problem, mothers who married with alcoholics turn out with the same problem.This explains why the
children of alcoholics end up with the same problem, the mothers who married in fornication, the daughters
end up the same, because receptors were transferred in the genetic code, and that made them or made them
prone to sin the same or worse than their fathers, that is why psychology can never do, not even in a small
part, what the gospel of Jesus Christ does.

NASB Exodus 20:5-6 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,
punishing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of
those who hate me, and showing mercy to thousands, to those who love me and keep my commandments .
It is a deep subject but one that brings great mercies to us for it is terrible to know that we were put receivers
before we were born, when we were in the loins of our fathers, let us think that iniquities came to our spirit,
iniquities as terrible as

O Idolatry
O Theadultery
O Dishonest gains
O The murder
O Theabortion
O Rape
O Sexual deviations

It is important that we realize that we are the product of 14 persons, that is to say of 7 sexual relations, we are
the number fifteen (in numerology the fifteen represents mercy), and this tells us that God wants to have
mercy on us, that is why we see that when they speak of the generations of Jesus, they accumulate them
from fourteen to fourteen, in this way he would be the number 15.

NASB Matthew 1:17 ¶ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from
David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to Christ,
fourteen generations.
It is important that we know and recognize that Jesus cleansed the generations and he did it with the
representation of that 14 three times, speaking to us that he cleansed our spirit, soul and body of the
receptors inherited by the past 3 generations, in that way is that now in Christ we are new creatures because
it is as if we had no ancestors, as if we were the first of a new species, and that is what God wants to do in us,
a new species, no longer the dirty and corrupt human species that it is today, but a new species, no longer the
dirty and corrupt human species that it is today, but a new species.That is what God wants to do in us, a new
species, no longer the dirty and corrupt human species that is today, but a human species in his likeness in
purity and holiness. Everyone who enters the genealogy of Jesus Christ has the right to be decontaminated,
to be freed from ancestral receptors, because we see within this genealogy many women with serious
problems:

O Tamar Incest with father-in-law: family sex catcher

O Rahab Prostitution: she gave herself to the highest bidder
O Ruth Moabite: recipient of idolatry
C Bathsheba Adultery: it affected David generations later.

9
9
 O Maria Amargura

We have to eradicate those receptors that were placed in our families to keep us bound and failures, we are
not talking about salvation but about life in abundance, all of us who have received Christ as savior and have
been baptized are saved, but here we are talking about how we want to live this salvation: in sin? Full of
bitterness? Impoverished by generational curses? Or we have the option to live it to the fullest, happy, joyful,
without regrets, without curses, dynamiting, and eradicating the receivers.

2. IN CHILDHOOD
It is not only before birth that receptors are placed, there are many that are placed as we develop through life.
The traditions and religion of the people are riddled with diabolical tricks to place receivers of all kinds.
In many places it is customary to give children the name of an ancestor: parents, grandparents or great-
grandparents, without knowing that what is being done is to tie the children to the way of life (with everything
and sins), of those ancestors, in the Hebrew tradition they placed the name according to the work or function
that they would develop, thus we see a Jacob that means deceiver and all his life he was a deceiver and
deceived, until God changed his name.Thus we see a Jacob that means deceiver and all his life he was a
deceiver and deceived, until God changed his name to Israel and then his life changed. An Abram who means
Great Father, but who later changed his name to Abraham, which means Father of Multitudes, and who today
is the father of two seeds, one earthly and one heavenly, both numerous.

When we name a child, let's think about giving him the opportunity to get rid of his past generations (including
us), giving him a name that does not tie him to our old life, not just because we like it, but because we know
what it means, there are those who have named their children "Nimrod" because they are biblical: and they do
not know what it means: "he who fights against God", and then they do not understand why this son does not
want to know anything about God, and it is because they placed a receiver of rebellion against God.

NASB 1Chronicles 4:9-10 And Jabez was more illustrious than his brothers, and his mother called him
Jabez, saying, Because I bore him in sorrow. Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that
You would bless me, and enlarge my territory, and that Your hand would be with me, and that You would
keep me from evil, that it may not hurt me! And God granted him what he asked for.
Jabez had a "suffering" receptor placed on him since he was a child, his life was eventful, and it is important
that we understand that every traumatic moment in our life is an open door for the devil to place a receptor on
us, the word of God teaches us that this pain receptor placed on Jabez brought him suffering, poverty,
blindness (no vision), he was born to have nothing, that is why his prayer was asking God to remove that pain
receptor.The word of God teaches us that this receptor of pain that was placed in Jabez brought him
suffering, poverty, blindness (no vision), he was born to have nothing, that is why his prayer was asking God
to remove that receptor of pain, so that nothing would cause him suffering in his life. Jabez came to think that
because of the receptor that had been placed on him, that everything he did would cause him pain, if he went
into business he would fail, if he got married he would suffer, if he went to war he would die, everything was
suffering, until he cried out to God recognizing that he had a problem, a receptor, and asked that it be
cancelled, that it be destroyed.

It is like the circus elephant, that from an early age is tied with a rope and taught that as long as he has a rope
on his leg he cannot move anywhere, and at first he tries to oppose, he pulls the rope, and no matter how
much he does his strength is not enough to break the rope, so that he ends up resigning himself to remain
immobile in the same place, when he grows up and is already young he continues to be tied with the same
rope, and with the size and strength he has now he should be able to break the rope, but he does not do it
because he remembers all the failures he has suffered.When he grows up and is already young he is still tied
with the same rope, and with the size and strength he has now he should be able to break the rope, but he
does not do it because he remembers all the failures of his childhood and every time he makes a movement
and feels the rope, he no longer makes an effort because he remembers that as a child he never could, and
that surely he never will be able to.

3. IN THE LIFE OF THE WORLD

In adolescence there are many ways of being contaminated: by bad friendships, by pornography, by vices,
that makes any temptation of that kind to collide with the hidden passion and then the person is involved in

1
0
0
sin.

NKJV Ezekiel 23:14-21 And he increased their whoredoms. He saw men painted on the wall, figures of
Chaldeans painted with vermilion, their loins girded with belts and broad turbans on their heads, looking
like officers all of them, resembling the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their birth. And when she saw
them, she was passionately in love with them, and sent messengers to Chaldea ,and the Babylonians came
to her, to the bed of love, and defiled her with their whoredoms. And after she was defiled with them, her
soul was jaded with them.
She revealed her whoredoms and uncovered her nakedness; then I was weary of her as I had been weary of
her sister;but she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the
harlot in the land of Egypt. And she was passionate about her lovers, whose flesh is like the flesh of asses
and whose flow is like the flow of horses. Thus you longed for the lust of your youth, when the Egyptians felt
your breast, caressing the breasts of your youth.
According to this passage, the receiver was activated by something painted on a wall, and that makes us see
that through any means of communication is conducive to send a message with pornography and place a
receiver, and once the receiver is placed we see that the passion came and they became so unbridled with
that passion that they sent for those who led them to sin, this made them remember the times of their captivity
in Egypt, it made them remember their past life, of which they already had a past life.This made them
remember the times of their captivity in Egypt, it made them remember their past life, from which the Lord had
already taken them out. When you have a receiver you cannot play with sin, you must put an end to it, you
must have the courage to say enough is enough.
There are so many things that can take us back to our past life:

O A photography
O A phone call
O A scent of a perfume
O A song
O A magazine
O A pledge of dress
O A teddy bear

Sometimes we waste so much time in this spiritual war when it is better to have the soul ministered and
subdued, we strive to hide from temptations, when it would be better to remove the receptors, which are the
ones that react and respond to temptation, "as long as the runways remain open the planes will continue to
land".
How easy it was for Nadab and Abihu the sons of Aaron to sin, because there was a receiver for liquor, so
Samson only liked wine because he had a receiver, which his mother had left him.

ERADICATING RECEPTORS
To eradicate the receivers in our life God has provided us with several weapons, all of them effective and
powerful, but it is necessary to use them and deepen in them to fight every day with more security and faith,
so that our struggle and our efforts do not seem in vain.

1. Receiving Jesus Christ as savior and on this occasion as liberator.

2. Baptism in water will kill many Egyptians who persecute us from the world.
NKJV Colossians 2:11-12 In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, by the
removal of the body of the flesh through the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism,
in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of the power of God, who raised Him
from the dead.

3. Confessing our faults and those of our generations, and setting ourselves apart.
NKJV Daniel 9:4-5 And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, and said, "O Lord, the great and
awesome God, who keeps covenant and mercy for those who love you and keep your commandments, we

1

1
have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done evil, we have rebelled and turned away from your
commandments and your ordinances.

NASB Leviticus 13:2 When a man has on the skin of his body swelling, or a rash, or a lustrous white spot, and
it becomes an infection of leprosy on the skin of his body, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of
his sons, the priests.

5. Praise and Worship

NKJ Joshua 6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to
the people, "Shout! For the Lord has given you the city.

6. By the power of the word

NKJV John 15:3 You are already clean through the word that I have spoken to you.

CONCLUSIONS

1. There are receptors in us, which are only waiting for an external stimulus, a signal, to activate sin in us.
2. Receptors can be placed at any stage of our life, even from 3 generations ago.
3. Any traumatic experience in a person's life can generate a receptor that will later lead to sin.
4. Even when naming a newborn, care must be taken not to do so out of love for an ancestor or some other
person, for we place a recipient prone to the sins of that ancestor. In the same way, you should not get
carried away by the beauty of the name without knowing what it means.
5. Even the Lord Jesus Christ tried to place receivers on him, but he did not allow it, but fulfilled the saving
and regenerating work that he came to perform.
6. There are good receivers, for Levi was blessed because of what Abraham his father did.
7. When Elijah left Elisha as his successor, he left him a recipient for the anointing, so that he performed
twice as many miracles as Elijah.

THE PRAISE
NKJV ISAIAH 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped.
NKJV ISAIAH 35:6 Then shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall shout
for joy: for waters shall break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the Arabah. NKJV ISAIAH 35:7
The parched land shall become a pond, and the dry land springs of water; in the den of jackals, their
resting place, the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
NKJV ISAIAH 35:8 There shall be a highway there, a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness;
the unclean shall not walk in it, but it shall be for him who walks in that way; the foolish shall not
wander in it.
NKJV ISAIAH 35:9 There shall be no lion there, neither shall a fierce beast go up to it; these shall not
be found there, but the redeemed shall walk through it.
NKJV ISAIAH 35:10 The ransomed of the Lord shall return, they shall enter into Zion with shouts of
joy, with everlasting gladness upon their heads. Joy and gladness shall attain, and sorrow and
mourning shall flee away.

INTRODUCTION

In order to talk about praise, it is necessary to touch quickly on some important topics to understand what it is
and why it is done.

Zion in the light of the word is a dimension where God is and that we can approach that place. Pablo said that
they were able to get close and in doing so, it felt like something different, but now we don't just want to be
close, we want to get in. It seems that it is a dimensional door and we see in the scripture how David could
enter because he had a key that made the glory of God to be always near him, in his ministry, in his battles, in
his worship.

When the people of Israel returned from captivity, Nehemiah began the restoration of the gates of the temple
and the first one he restored was the sheep gate and the last one was the prison gate, this tells us about a
prophetic circle that today has a spiritual meaning for our life.
This prophetic circle is closing again and now the last door to be restored before the second coming of Christ
for his church, will be that of the prisoners, this is a very peculiar door because it is restored with the praise of
those who have been transformed, there are many transformations that we must experience in our lives.
O Transformation of the city
O Transformed by the light

1
0
3
 O Transformation of the squires
O Transformed into the likeness of Christ
O Transformed by the unction and finally
O Transformed by the praise

The earth is the prison of the bodies, and the body is the prison of the spirits, but there are also prisons of the
soul that must be opened, and that we will address in this topic about praise

It is also necessary to talk about some biblical figures that teach us how our integral being is involved at the
moment of offering our praise.
The Bible says "Let everything that BREATHES praise the LORD"; this word breathes is: NESHAMAH: which
refers to the breath of LIFE breathed by God (PSALMS 150). In Judges 07:16 the Bible refers to us as
earthenware jars with a flaming torch, however we note that when the wind instruments (figure of the Spirit)
were played, the jars were broken and only the flaming torch (Christ in us) was seen.
Praise is divided into several facets represented by Tribes in the Bible. For example: among the Levites of Coat
there were singers who were exempt from other services because they were dedicated to the work of the Bread
of the Presence. The ministering of bread is a figure of ministering the Word, here we have singers who
figuratively ministered the word. (1 CHRONICLES 09:32-33). However, we also note in 2 Chronicles 25:01-04,
that there are three groups of people that make up a worship team, these three groups and what they represent
will also be addressed in this study.

1. THE KEY OF DAVD,

OLD TESTAMENT
NKJV ISAIAH 22:22 Then I will lay the key of David's house upon his shoulder; when he opens, no one shall
shut; when he shuts, no one shall open.
That same key is given to the church of Philadelphia which is the one that typifies the church that although it
does not have much strength is the one that has kept the word of the Lord and will leave before the time of trial
comes for the inhabitants of the earth. David was a man of God who had the key to enter God's presence and
that key was revealed praise.
It was not only about playing instruments and singing with good voices but it was a priestly activity, that is why
there is a story in which David takes the ark of the covenant and wants to take it and enter Zion, the movement
of the ark was a priestly work.
First let us note that it was all priestly work, but he was not of the tribe of Levi as to exercise priestly activities,
he belonged to the tribe of Judah, but he began to develop with the authority of God a new priesthood that no
one knew.The only priesthood that he exercised at the same time as the Aaronic but in a different sphere was
that of Melchizedek, which appears for the first time in the book of Genesis.

For the transfer of the ark of the presence we see in the second book of Samuel chapter six, two parades:

In the first one: David thinks he can get his ideas in:

1. He asked how the Philistines had moved the ark.

2. I do not consult scripture, nor God
3. He put the ark in a new chariot instead of the priests of Kohath.
4. Two men guided the ark and one of them (Uza = strength) died in the attempt.

On the second attempt, after waiting three months, he no longer put in his ideas, but rather the word
1. I remove the new car and put priests
2. The ark guided them and cared for them.
3. He put on an ephod to go before the ark
4. I organize music, singers, shophar and dances.
5. I enter Zion (Jerusalem) with praise.

 2. RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL
GOSPELS
NKJV LUKE 15:21-23 And the son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no
longer worthy to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, "Quickly; bring the best robe and
clothe him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us
eat and rejoice;
NKJV LUKE 15:25 And his eldest son was in the field, and when he came and drew near to the house, he heard
music and dancing.
Now we see how a son of God wants to return to the Father's house, and the Father in turn knows that to return
as a ransomed one of Jehovah he must return with songs, so the Father prepares him for the feast and gives
him three things:

1. His special clothing: white like the priests. He cannot enter clothed with the garments of the world, nor
in sackcloth, for he is already forgiven, nor in rags, for he is the house of God,
2. The covenant ring
3. And shoes that were not our own but were the Father's, we cannot come with our own idea of the
gospel but let it be as He left it with full freedom.

3. THE LAME MAN OF THE BEAUTIFUL

NEW TESTAMENT
NKJV ACTS 3:2 Now there was a man, lame from birth, whom they brought and set daily at the gate of the
temple, called the Beautiful, to beg alms of those who entered the temple.
NKJV ACTS 3:6-8 But Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I have I give you in the name of
Jesus Christ the Nazarene, go! And grasping him by the right hand, he lifted him up; instantly his feet and
ankles gained strength, and with a leap he was on his feet and walking. He entered the temple with them
walking, jumping and praising God. Let us remember that one of the enemies of Zion were the lame, and this
lame man never entered the meetings, he was always at the door of the temple, but suddenly he knew the
apostolic flow, and the name of Jesus was power for the life of that man, this encounter gave rise in the life of
this man to a process to enter the temple according to what David taught:

1. They lifted him up: it is very difficult to stand up alone, the pride of loneliness sometimes does not allow
it, but they gave him strength and he was able to walk.
2. Then the Spirit revealed to him the way to enter the temple.
3. Camino
4. Jump
5. Alabo

This is the formula to enter a new dimension, to stop being useless, if we are already in Christ, let us enter his
house walking with the sandals of the gospel, let us jump for joy and praise the Lord.

4. JOHN IN APOCALYPSE
NKJV REV 4:1 After this I looked, and saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard, as it
were the sound of a trumpet talking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place
after these things.
When John enters that heavenly dimension the first thing he is shown is the throne of God where there are
beings that are not of the earth, some of them have up to four faces, there are 24 elders representing the
priestly orders of the Cosmos but even they PRAISE THE LORD.

NKJV REV 4:9-10 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits
on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the
throne, and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

We see that all worship is centered on the throne for there it is:
1. The Lamb
2. New canticle 3. Angels
4. Every creation in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and in the sea.

1
0
5
 5. THEY SAID AMEN! AMEN!

NKJV REV 5:13 And to every created thing which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in
the sea, and to all things that are in them, I heard them say, To Him that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb,
be praise and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.

THE RETURN TO ZION

NKJV ISAIAH 35:10 The ransomed of the Lord shall return, they shall enter into Zion with shouts of joy, with
everlasting gladness upon their heads. Joy and gladness shall attain, and sorrow and mourning shall flee
away.

That is why he says that

1. The blind will see
2. The deaf will hear
3. The lame will jump
4. The mute will sing

JEREMIAH SAYS THEY WILL RUN TO THE WINE, TO THE OIL

NKJV JEREMIAH 31:12-13 They shall come and shout for joy on high in Zion, and radiate for joy because of the
goodness of the LORD: for the grain, for the wine, and for the oil, and for the young of the flock and of the
herd. Their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall languish no more. Then the virgin shall rejoice in
the dance, and the young and the old together; I will change their mourning into joy, I will comfort them and
make them glad in their sorrow.

1. Shouts of jubilation
2. Dancing

PRAISE OF THE TRANSFORMED

NASB ACTS 16:25-30 ¶ About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the
prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison
were shaken; instantly all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosened. When the jailer awoke
and saw all the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, believing that the
prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Then he asked for light and rushed inside, and trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas, and when he had
brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
It is worth asking who released the chains of Paul Silas and the other prisoners, it is undoubtedly that they had
a visitation of angelic type, but how strong it would be, that the mere fact that angels rested their feet in that
place, made the earth tremble.It is undoubtedly that they had an angelic visitation, but how strong it would be,
that the mere fact that angels set their feet in that place, made the earth tremble, and how tremendous that as
many angels came down as there were doors and prisoners in that place, because they all had their doors
opened and their chains loosed at the same time. It's curious, but why didn't any prisoner escape?
NKJV PSALMS 102:18-20 ¶ This shall be written for future generations; that a people yet to be created may
praise the Lord. For He looked down from His lofty sanctuary; from heaven the Lord looked down upon the
earth, to hear the groaning of the prisoners, to set at liberty those condemned to death;
They will tell them our story as prisoners and they will praise but learn from those of us who sing because we
have undergone a transformation, in this case, Paul had already undergone his transformation by the light of
the road to Damascus. He enjoyed an internal freedom that when he sang and the jails were opened, the
prisoners did not leave but stayed, they were physically free but they were still spiritual prisoners! This lets us
see that in the midst of the singing the jail had been transformed, it was no longer an environment of torture and
pain but of God's presence in their midst, that is why they all remained at the door of the jail as prisoners, but
not for their crimes, but for love of that liberating presence of God.

NKJV EPHESIANS 4:1 I therefore, a prisoner of the Lord, beg you to live in a manner worthy of the calling
with which you have been called,
We have to learn to sing hymns to God and when one sings with all his heart for the first time it is because
something has happened, the one who does not sing must be scrutinized because something is not right inside

him. There are three songs in the Bible that tell us about praise and its effects:

O Canticle of Moses is the first liberation canticle.

O Mary's canticle is the first one of gratitude.
O Canticle of David is the first to be established as a model.

1. CANTICLE OF MOSES FROM SLAVE TO FREE

EXODUS 15:1-3 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, "I sing to the
LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. My strength and
my song is the Lord, and he has been my salvation; he is my God, and I will glorify him, the God of my father,
and I will exalt him. The Lord is {strong} warrior; the Lord is his name

The song then was the product of something, of an uncommon event, and we see that for the first time it is
recorded that the people of Israel sing, and that song occurred when they were freed from slavery and by the
mighty hand of God in a confrontation of God against gods, the people of God emerged victorious and a
transformation from slaves to free took place. But even after they were released, there were still some
processes to be carried out:

O Egyptian clothing
O They did not congregate
O They spoke like Egyptians
O They had Egyptian customs

But they saw that everything had been done by God, all the work of liberation of their families was operated by
God and then some things are derived that are very important, for example: my song is Jehovah, the song of
the transformed has only one name, God Himself. When Jehovah is our song, it produces strength and
salvation, for the Israelites it was Jehovah, but for us today it is Jeshua (Jesus) the author and finisher of faith,
the Savior of the world.
They recognize in the midst of this experience that Jehovah is a man of war, a husband of war and that is his
office, to fight on behalf of those who are of salvation.

THIS CHANT OF LIBERATION LED TO DANCES WITH TAMBOURINES.

NKJV EXODUS 15:20-21 And Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the tambourine in her hand, and all
the women went out after her with tambourines and dances. And Miriam answered them: #Sing to the Lord,
for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Moses' song of liberation gave rise to Mary's song, which involved not only the voice, but also the body and
instruments, as she began to sing and dance at the same time.

2. THE MAGNIFICAT OF MARY

FROM HUMBLE SERVANT TO BLESSED ONE
NKJV LUKE 1:46-55 Then Mary said, #My soul magnifies {IN LATIN " MAGNIFICAT} the Lord, and my spirit
rejoices {AGALLAIO IS LEAPING FOR JOY} in God my Savior.
For he hath regarded the low estate of {this} his handmaid: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall
count me blessed. For the Mighty One has done great things for me; and holy is his name, and holy is his
mercy to those who fear him from generation to generation.
He has done exploits with his arm; he has scattered {those who were} proud in the thoughts of his heart. He
has removed the mighty from {their} thrones; and he has exalted the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good
things and sent the rich away empty-handed. He has helped Israel, his servant, for a remembrance of his
mercy as he said to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.
Maria had never sung before because her life had been very eventful, since she was very young:

O They changed their own plans

O God Himself told her that He had a purpose for her.

1
0
7
 O Then Joseph the man she loved wanted to leave her
O Had to keep the secret of who Jesus was
O I didn't know how I would educate him
O No one would believe that the Son of God was inside it.

But now for the first time she wants to magnify, and to magnify is to make great the God who has chosen her,
we see that Mary had a tremendous knowledge of the word because her song is that of Hannah but with a new
anointing, because Hannah's son, Samuel, would be the one to anoint David to take the throne, but Mary would
give birth to the one who would sit on the throne forever and who would be of David's descendants.

O Hannah had Samuel to anoint

O Mary bore Jesus who was the anointed one

NKJV ACTS 10:46-47 for they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God with MAGNIFICAT. Then
Peter said, "Can anyone deny the water so that these who have received the Holy Spirit may be baptized, even
as we have received the Holy Spirit?
We see how in the book of Acts the Magnificat is repeated, but now it is in a group of people, who realized, like
Mary, that they had been chosen to have the Son of God and his anointing deposited within them, now in the
person of the Holy Spirit.

3. PROPHETIC SONG OF DAVID

1CHRONICLES 16:7-8 ¶ Then on that day David, for the first time, put Asaph and his men in the hands
of
relatives {this psalm} to give thanks to the Lord: Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name; make known his
works among the peoples.
We see that David was a man with a profile that all those who make music and praise the Lord (mostly those
who participate as musicians or singers in a praise team) should have.

DE BELEN HOUSE OF BREAD

KNOW HOW TO PLAY WHO MAKES MUSIC AND DOES IT WELL
GIBBOR POWERFUL AND STRONG
VALIENTE FORCE OF MEN WHO HAVE THE RESOURCES IN A NAVY
MAN OF WAR KNOW THE LAWS OF THE SOLDIER
CAUTIOUS IN WORDS UNDERSTOOD, MENTALLY SEPARATED FOR THE WORD
WELL MATCHED BEAUTIFUL, BEFORE GOD
JEHOVAH IS WITH HIM HAS GOD'S BACKING IN WHAT HE DOES

The book of Psalms is divided into five books, these are called "the Torah of David".

THE TORAH OF MOSES THE TORAH OF DAVID

IS THE LAW IS GRACE
FALL OF ISRAEL NATIONAL SPIRITUAL ISRAEL UPRISING
THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL: THE HISTORY OF THE BELIEVER
GENESIS = LIFE LIFE CHOSEN BY GRACE
EXODUS = OF REDEMPTION REDEMPTION BY THE LAMB
LEVITICUS = OF SANCTIFICATION COMMUNION WITH GOD
NUMBERS = THE TEST DARKNESS BY THE TEST
DEUTERONOMY = GOVERNMENT GOD GOVERNS

David used five stones to slay five spiritual giants, and then when his dream comes true and the ark of the
presence enters the city and establishes God's presence in his house he sets about the task of putting five
ingredients in his first song.

 1. THANKSGIVING
NKJV 1 CHRONICLES 16:8 #Givethanks to the Lord, call upon his name; make known his works among the
peoples Give thanks is yadah and means.
O Give thanks because we have victory before the battle.
O Confess what God will do.
O It is throwing a stone.

2. SING IT
NKJV 1CHRONICLES 16:9 Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wonderful works.
Cantadle is shir and means
O Is playing an instrument
O Is to walk around as if inspecting the burrs

3. GLORIAOS
NKJV 1 CHRONICLES 16:10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Gloriaos
is halal and means
® It is to shine
O It is to make a show
O Acting wildly
Or to boast, is like boasting: Who is like Jehovah!

4. SEARCH
NKJV 1 CHRONICLES 16:11 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face continually.
Search is darash and means
O Is to inquire of God in prayer
O Seek disclosure
O Enter your pact
O Prophetically is to seek his face

5. REMEMBER
NKJV 1CHRONICLES 16:12 Remember the wonders that He has done, His wonders and the judgments of His
mouth, Remember is zakar and means.
O To return to itself
O Mark to be remembered
O It's like burning incense

THE PARTICIPATION OF THE INTEGRAL BEING

NKJV Psalm 150:1-6

Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his majestic firmament.
Praise him for his mighty acts; praise him according to the excellence of his greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with harp and lyre.
Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and flute.
Praise him with resounding cymbals; praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that breathes praise the LORD. Hallelujah!

Psalm 150, in itself, is the subject of a separate study, because it speaks of all that is praise, however, we quote
it because this psalm implies the inclusion of the body, soul and spirit of the human being, to be able to offer
praise before God.

NKJV Judges 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put trumpets and empty
pitchers in the hands of them all, with torches inside the pitchers.
It is interesting how the Bible is full of figures or typologies that help us understand God's purpose for our lives,
and in the story of Gideon and his 300, we see how they were divided into three groups: body, soul and spirit.

1
0
9
Then each group was given trumpets, which speaks to us of the capacity to express oneself, to develop, and
finally he put pitchers in the three groups, but inside each pitcher he put a lighted torch, which speaks to us of
the word of God.

NKJV 2Peter 1:19 We also have the prophetic word which is even firmer. You do well to be attentive to it, as to
a torch shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
It is necessary that we wake up to the reality that far from the word of God we will never be what we should be,
and the most tremendous thing is that if we do not allow the lamp of the word to illuminate the darkness that is
in us, the morning star that is Christ, will never manifest in our hearts, that manifestation refers to our integral
perfection in order to be caught up and become part of the Bride of Christ.

CHARACTER FIGURES
TYPIFYING PRAISE

1. ASAF (C U E R P O)
NKJV Nehemiah 12:46 For from the time of David and Asaph, from ancient times, there were directors of the
singers to sing praises and psalms of thanksgiving to God.
We note that in the Bible it speaks that they used the skillful and these were the ones who instructed. They
were the raw material first, but they needed to be worked, trained, equipped each one in their specific area in
order to present to the Lord a service and ministry of excellence. Asaf contributed four percussion instruments,
and is a corps figure.

2. JEDUTUN (A L M A)
NKJV 1 Chronicles 16:42 With them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets, resounding cymbals, and other
instruments for the singing of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were appointed for the gate.
In those days burnt offerings were offered to the Lord constantly, a figure of offering to God our being as an
offering, these select men were designated by names to give thanks to God until indefinite time in his loving
kindness, later the people proceeded to go each to his own house, but David went to his house to bless it. The
sacrifices tell us that it is our soul that must be offered in sacrifice so that all the fat of sin may be consumed so
that we may offer to God a pleasing worship. Jedutún contributed six stringed instruments, and is the figure of
the soul.
3. HEMAN (E S P I R I T U)
NKJV 1 Chronicles 15:16-17 Then David also told the chief of the Levites to appoint singers from among their
brethren, with musical instruments, lyres, harps, and resounding cymbals, and to lift up their voices with joy.
Then the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the
sons of Merari, his brethren, Eitan the son of Cushaniah.
We know that to become worshipers in spirit and in truth we have to be anointed priests, clothed with the
covering of God, as in those days, the Bible says that the Levites stood with the instruments of David and the
priests with the TRUMPETS. Heman contributed 14 wind instruments, and is a figure of the Spirit. By this we
understand that the one who should be more involved in the worship is our spirit, and only the spirits that have
been vivified praise the one who lives forever, a living spirit transmits life to the soul, and to the body, our
external attitudes during the worship are only the reflection of our inner life, it means that if at the time of the
worship we feel sleepy, tired, etc. It means that our spirit has a serious problem with the soul and the body: in
other words, we are leading a carnal life, and not a spiritual one, we are not seeking God as we should.
HOW TO ATTRACT THE ARK OF GOD'S PRESENCE TO US

1 HOLINESS
NKJV 1Chronicles 15:12 And he said to them, "You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify
yourselves, both you and your relatives, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the
place which I have prepared for it.
Sanctification comes directly from the disposition of our hearts, raising all praise with sincerity and thanksgiving.
For God's presence to dwell in our homes, in the midst of our family, it is necessary that we sanctify ourselves.
Without holiness no one will see the Lord.

2 .- MINISTRATIONS
1 Chronicles 15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of

1
1
0
Israel.
In order to raise praise to the Lord with a pleasing odor in the eyes of God we must have a constant washing of
our walk, with this we will be purifying ourselves day by day. It is necessary to cast off every burden of sin, to
cleanse every stain of sin, through the ministry.

3 BALANCE
NKJV 1Chronicles 15:15 And the sons of the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders, with the bars set,
as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.
In those days the ark of the covenant was carried among four persons, a figure of the balance that we must
have in the four gospels of the Bible, which cover both our front and lateral sides. The balance is to lead a life of
freedom, without immersing oneself in debauchery. Obeying God's law, without being legalistic. This balance is
important because licentiousness corrupts, and the law kills.

4 ANOINTING ON HEADS
NKJV 1Chronicles 15:16 Then David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their kinsmen the singers, with
instruments of music, harps, lyres, and very loud cymbals, lifting up their voices with joy. Just as in those
days the albanza was made to rise strongly through those who went before the people, for they were the ones
who received the anointing directly to transmit it to the people, so we know that according to the anointing that
falls on the head, it will go down to the edge of the garments which is the Church represented as the Body of
Christ.

5 COVERAGE
1 Chronicles 15:27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who carried the ark, and
the singers, and Chenaniah, the leader of the singing among the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
We know that the garment that David put on is the new robe that clothes us as we are recognized by the
Lord, once we have your covering, our praise will be genuine. We must present ourselves before God properly
dressed in order to offer Him pure praise, we must recognize the ministerial coverings so that we do not appear
naked before God when we offer Him worship.

6 FOOD AND FEAST

NKJV 1 Chronicles 16:2-3 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he
blessed the people in the name of the LORD. Then he distributed to all Israel, both men and women, to each
one a cake of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins.
We notice that David after the praise ministered the word of God [bread] and later proceeded to give thanks, a
figure of the thankful heart we must have to praise the Lord. He also gave the people dates and raisins, which
speaks of the pleasant experiences that remain after experiencing the presence of God. In every service we
should leave with a cake of bread, which is the word that is engraved in our heart, and a raisin cake, which is
our personal experience with God that day.

HOW CAN THERE BE FAILURE

IN WORSHIP

WHEN WE USE OUR OWN STRENGTH

NKJV 1Chronicles 13:7 And they carried the ark of God out of the house of Abinadab in a new chariot, and
Uzzah and Ahio led the chariot.
NKJV 1Chronicles 13:9 But when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah stretched out his hand to
hold the ark, because the oxen almost overturned it.
Uzah means Strength, we note that when the ark was being carried Uzah reached out to grasp the ark because
the bulls almost caused it to overturn, and the wrath of God was kindled in an overpowering way and brought it
down and it died instantly. In Exodus 25:15 it is mentioned that God had already established the order in which
the ark was to be placed and to which place it would be moved, however we notice that David disobeyed and
led the people to the wrong place.

CONCLUSIONS:

1. David gives us the key to enter Zion: praise.

2. The father teaches his son that when he is reconciled, he will receive new clothes and shoes to be able
to enter the feast, it is not the son who buys these things.
3. The lame, those of us who cannot walk and are useless, let us no longer remain as spectators, but in
the name of Jesus, let us walk as children of God, let us leap and say: I am no longer lame, let us
praise the Lord.
4. John arrived in heaven and the first thing he found was heavenly praise and adoration and he could
say: now I understand King David, the prodigal and the lame.
5. Moses' song of deliverance is a song with tambourines and dances.
6. Mary's song of gratitude carries leaps of joy.
7. David's song of establishment is like throwing a stone in faith of victory, it is to go around
as inspecting the flock, boasting and bragging about our God (like putting on a show) and acting wildly,
to enter into his covenant and see his face and this will be like an incense
8. We note that Asaf, Heman and Jedutun contributed a total of 24 instruments, figure of the 24
instruments.
priestly functions that God has in heaven, in body, soul and spirit.
9. We have to perfect holiness at every moment through the fear of God that is in our hearts.
us.
10. Through the promises given to us, we must continually cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the
flesh and spirit.
11. The anointing oil on the head of our Ministers will descend as the dew of Hermon to us for perfect
praise.
12. If we have been clothed with the new mantle that envelops us after having been recognized by the
Lord, we will be able to nourish ourselves with his Word constantly and thus make our hearts feast.
13. We must not act in our own strength in order to bring the presence to us using an anointing that does
not correspond to us.
Chapter

22
ADORATION
NKJ 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in
spirit and in truth; for such the Father indeed seeks to be worshiped.

It is notorious the fact that there are things that God seeks in the midst of all his creation and even more
notorious that they are not preachers, or musicians or dancers, and we do not mean by this that God does not
like the work they do, but somehow God wants us to understand that we must have an attitude of worship at all
times, now, we will try to conceptualize in a simple way what is worship: it is an act of continuous homage or
reverence to God as recognition of his nature, attributes, ways and demands that lead us to be in obedience out
of gratitude. So important is genuine worship in man that God looks for "such worshipers" to stand before His
presence, to better understand worship we will see in this study what are some of the attitudes of worship that
we should develop.

We know that the Father seeks the kind of worshipers who worship in Spirit and in Truth; to a Father whom we
know in many facets, nominated in various ways according to His function, praise and worship must be done in
a complete manner: In body, soul and spirit; however, many people worship what they do not know (Soul), and

1
1
2
many people worship who they know, God who has revealed Himself to them through many experiences
(Spirit).

1. WORSHIP LEADS TO SERVICE

NKJV MATTHEW 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get thee hence, Satan! For it is written, "Thou shalt worship
the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve."
David says he served in his own generation. This man dedicated his life to the service of the things of God, first
he was concerned about serving as defender of the sheep against the bear and the lion, then he was the one
who anointed the shield of Saul, then he went in and out with the people, and when he was king he dedicated
himself to bring them all to unity, those who came to Adullam he ministered to them, he did good works, he was
dedicated to serve in his life and with his life.When he was king he dedicated himself to bring them all to unity,
those who came to Adullam he ministered to them, he did good works, he was dedicated to serve in his life and
with his life, "he who serves, serves and he who is not serving, is not serving".

2. WORSHIP BRINGS THANKSGIVING, SINGING AND MUSIC

NKJV 2 CHRONICLES 29:27-28 Then Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the
burnt offering began, the singing to the Lord also began with the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments
of David, king of Israel. While the whole assembly worshiped, the singers also sang and the trumpets
sounded; all this {continued} until the burnt offering was consumed.
One of the main restorers of Israel was Hezekiah, and this man understood that in the midst of worship there
would be songs of praise to the Lord and musical instruments invented by David for the specific purpose of
worshipping God, this David had a worshipper's heart and he knew the order that God was pleased with for
worship, and it is very interesting to know this order:

NKJV Psalm 68:24-25 ¶ They have seen your procession, O God, the procession of my God, my King, to the
sanctuary. The singers went in front, the musicians behind, in the midst of the maidens playing tambourines.
This is the order in the worship of the assembly, more than the instruments it says that first are the singers then
the musicians accompanying and in the middle the maidens with tambourines, this is worship as well.

3. ADORATION INVOLVES OFFERING

NKJV MATTHEW 2:11 And entering into the house, they saw the child with Mary His mother, and fell down
and worshiped Him, and opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh.
We see in this little passage how many groups appear, the Herods who feel there can be no other king, the
Pharisees who know religion and even the place but do not worship, and the worshipers who showed their
worship by opening their treasures, that is why David when the time came for the offering he gave the best of
his particular treasure.
When the presence of God descends we divest ourselves of what is ours, only the worshiper can divest himself
of his personal treasures, when the Lord entered Jerusalem all stripped themselves of what they had, cloaks,
robes and even the branches of the palm trees were torn off to put them at the feet of Christ, the presence of
the Lord provokes in the worshipers a desire to divest themselves of the things that God has given us.

4. WORSHIP BRINGS A DESIRE FOR CLEANLINESS

NKJV MATTHEW 8:2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you can
make me clean.
In this passage we see how a leper, a person who had skin problems, suffered from a serious affection in his
flesh and although by law he was not worthy to approach any person, he stopped to think that although
because of his illness he was not worthy to be before Jesus, Jesus on the contrary was worthy to receive
worship, and for that reason he went and worshipped Him, saying to Him, I want to be clean.

Then he sent him to the priest to be inspected so that he could join the camp, he came leprous and they
sprinkled him first with blood and put it in his ear, on his hand and on his foot and then they anointed him in his
ear, on his hand, on his foot and lastly on his head, all this as a result of having worshipped, he came leprous
and came out anointed, this is the benefit of the one who becomes a worshipper, his head.This is a benefit of

1
1
3
the one who becomes a worshipper, his desire for cleanliness is seen by God and he cleanses him and then he
comes out anointed. How great is our God who allows himself to be worshiped by a leper and derived from that
attitude of worship makes him an anointed one, that is why the Bible says that we should worship in the beauty
of holiness.

5. WORSHIP BRINGS YOU TOGETHER AND BRINGS YOU JOY

NKJV LUKE 24:52-53 And when they had worshiped him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were
always in the temple praising God.
When we have the attitude of a worshipper that brings us a feeling and desire to celebrate, it brings us an
internal joy because our spirit is filled and makes us feel the desire to go to the temple, it is strange and
unbiblical that it is better not to meet, the worshipper seeks the temple and finds joy, David was a worshipper
par excellence and that made him change his mood.
NKJV Psalm 30:11-12 You have changed my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded
me with gladness; that {my} soul may sing praises to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will praise you
forever.

6. WORSHIP BRINGS FASTING

NKJV 2SAMUEL 12:16And David prayed to God for the child; and he fasted, and went and lay on the ground
all night. NKJV 2SAMUEL 12:20 Then David arose from the ground, washed, {anointed himself} and changed
his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he came to his house and when he
ordered, they put food in front of him and he ate.
Fasting is also an attitude of worship because it is like humbling oneself before a superior. How tremendous it is
to realize that worship is like a recipe that has various ingredients or presentations and we see that once again
David when he fasted ended up worshiping, even in precarious situations of trial or corrective judgment from
God, he always offered his worship to God because he knew it was not for his merits but because God is
worthy.

WORSHIP IN THREE STAGES

1. ALMA - EUSEBEO
LIVING ON THE BASIS OF PIETY (WORKS, SERVICE)
NKJV Acts 17:23 For as I passed by and looked at your sacred monuments, I also found an altar on which was
this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Him therefore whom you honor without knowing him, him I
proclaim to you.
We know that God does not dwell (dwell) in pagan temples, made by the hands of men, nor is he attended by
human hands as if he needed anything; for God has given to each person life and breath to all things; therefore,
many people give pious devotion to a God they do not know. This kind of worship is done in the Soul.

2. BODY - SABOSAMAI
CORPORATE RELIGIOUS PRECEPTS
JER Romans 1:25 to them who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature
instead of the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
One of the qualities seen in God regarding creation is the divine zeal he has not to allow others to revere or
render service to created things instead of rendering it to God himself, for which reason, those who revered
every creature creation instead of God; he gave them over to inordinate sexual acts, shameful and indecent
deeds, due to their own concupiscence. This same root comes from the Greek SEBO, which means Religious
Service.

3. SPIRIT - PROSKUNEO
TRUE WORSHIP
NKJV Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan, for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord
your God, and Him only shall you serve.
When Jesus was tempted, He answered the enemy with wise words when He said: "It is the Lord your God

1
1
4
whom you must WORSHIP (PROSKUNEO) and it is to Him alone that you must RENDER (EUSEBEO) sacred
service. This worship is applied in Body, Soul and Spirit, because we know that with a grateful heart towards
God we will be able to delight in His presence and in all that we do for Him.

CONCLUSIONS:

This teaches us that the Father is looking for worshippers, i.e. people who:

1. They want to serve you

2. Let them sing to him according to his word
3. Let them give you some of their treasures as a tribute and thank you.
4. As the leper wants to cleanse himself
5. To congregate in order to be in the places where they are
6. To be sacrificed in fasting in order to hear him better.
7. The Greek word Eusebeo means: To be surrendered to the virtues of the Almighty; To live on the basis
of Piety, which refers to a worship in the Soul, reflected in the surrender of the Soul.
8. The Greek word Sabosamai means: To worship with religious precepts by offering corporeal sacrifices,
which refers to a worship in the Body.
9. The Greek word Proskuneo means: To bow down, to prostrate oneself, to worship God at his feet,
which refers to a worship in the Spirit; this worship is the true worship and is realized in us when we
come to know a true God, leading all worship with a thankful and surrendered heart, it is reflected in our
expressions before God whether during our private devotional times, or in the midst of the
congregation.It is reflected in our expressions before God whether during our private devotional
moments or in the midst of the congregation.

THE COVERAGE
NKJV Matthew 23:37 ¶ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are
sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks
under her wings, and you would not!

INTRODUCTION
On some occasions the Bible mentions that when Christ made a double call to someone it was a way of making
it appear that it was a last warning regarding some order given, however, we note that in Matthew 23:37, it
speaks about Jesus' lament over Jerusalem for its stubbornness regarding the divine pleas repeated on several
occasions. We know that Christ is the head of the man and the man is the head of the woman.
NKJV Genesis 3:21 And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
From the book of Biblical genetics we have found that when God took on the task of caring for his creation and
saw it in sin he had to cover it, it has always been the task or one of the offices of God to cover, so it is from
there that the word or the term "covering" is born. In Genesis we see that there are two antagonistic
movements: one of covering and the other of undressing, even further on in Genesis itself we see that when
Noah the chief and head of the family falls in his tent from alcohol and is left naked two types of people quickly

appear, the first represented in Ham who saw his father and went to tell his brothers and the second Shem and
Japheth who upon hearing what Ham had done, turning their backs to Noah went to him and covered him. In
this study we will see how hedging is developed in scripture, for for it to be acceptable it must be found in the
law, the psalms and the prophets.

THE DIVINE ORDER OF COVERAGE

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

NKJV Revelation 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his servants the things which
must shortly come to pass; and he made it known, sending it by his angel to his servant John,

1. GOD
2. JESUS CHRIST
3. ANGEL
4. APOSTLE JOHN
5. SERVERS
6. CHURCH
7. WORLD

The word REVELATION comes from the Greek APOKALYPSIS, which means: TO REMOVE THE COVER -
TO DEVELOP. Revelation is a Revelation that was given by GOD to JESUS CHRIST, Jesus Christ to the
ANGELS, the angels to JOHN the Apostle, and John to the CHURCH so that finally the church would give it to
the WORLD. These are the seven steps of delegation of God's revelation. Before passing the revelation to the
Church, it passed through an Apostle.

NKJV Psalm 133:1-3 See how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in harmony. It is like
the precious oil upon the head, which descends upon the beard, Aaron's beard, which descends to the hem of
his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, which descends upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord sent
the blessing, life forevermore.
The covering is a protection for the Church, however in Psalm 133:02 it speaks about unity in the Church being
like good oil on the head, and this oil goes down to the hem of her garments (Church). It is important to note
that there is a head from which all anointing from God begins, and that there are no bodies without a head.

SKINS AS A COVERING IN THE PENTATEUCH

1. ADAM AND EVE COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS
NKJV GENESIS 3:21 And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
It is interesting to see that Adam was afraid of God's voice because they had discovered their nakedness due to
the disobedience in which they fell, however, in spite of having failed, having been warned by God specifically
of the things they should not have done, we note that later on God clothed them with skin, covered their faults, it
was necessary as a consequence of sin, to extend over them a "visible" covering while the time came for them
to have their "visible" covering.It was necessary, as a consequence of sin, to extend over them a "visible"
covering while the time of their total redemption was coming.

2. PROTECTION OF THE CHURCH

NKJV EXODUS 25:3-5 And this is the offering that you shall take of them: gold, silver, and brass; blue, purple,
and scarlet cloth, fine linen, and goats' hair; rams' skins dyed red, porpoise skins, and acacia wood;

O Badger skin: It is the greatest enemy of the serpent is so that the serpents do not enter the tabernacle and
seduce those of the people. The tabernacle is us.
O Red ram: The ram is dyed red, which is the blood, showing that we announce with the shophar and that
there is also the provision.
Or Goat Hair: There were eleven tapestries, number of perfect male, also the measures were 30 x 4 = 120
which represents the era of the spirit.
O Fine Linen: What is Holiness?

1

 3. CARE WHEN MOVING
NKJV NUMBERS 4:15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy things and all the utensils of
the sanctuary, when the camp is ready to be moved, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them away,
but let them not touch the holy things, for they will die. These are the things that Coat's children will be
transporting in the muster tent.
When the tabernacle was to be moved in the wilderness, there was a proper way to do it, and for this purpose
there were Levite priests in charge of making those movements. This tells us how God delegates people who
must first "cover" the church, and then move it to new spiritual dimensions, in which they can be restored.
4. MINISTERIAL ORDER
NKJV LEVITICUS 8:30 ¶ And Moses took of the anointing oil and of the blood that was on the altar, and
sprinkled Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments; and he consecrated Aaron and his
garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.
For a person to be recognized as a Minister of God he must be covered (clothed), a figure of the consecrations
of the priesthoods when they were called in the days of Moses. When Moses went into the wilderness with the
people, a CLOUD covered them in the morning because of the inclement weather, however, during the nights it
became a pillar of fire that gave them warmth, a figure that the guided people of God will have a covering of
refreshment at all times.

5. GOD SUSTAINS HIS PEOPLE IN THE DESERT

NKJV DEUTRONOMY 8:4 Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell during these forty
years. When the people of God left Egypt, during the 40 years that they walked in the desert they had a
covering and their garments were not worn out, meaning that in order to pass through the desert, it is necessary
that we have a covering to keep the commandments of God, and to walk in His ways in His fear.

6. THE WINGS IN THE PSALMS DIVINE PROTECTION

Psalm 91:1-4 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say
to the Lord: My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. For He delivers you from the snare of the
fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. With its feathers it covers you, and under its wings you find refuge;
shield and bulwark is its fidelity. If we dwell in the secret place of the Most High, we will be covered by God,
with his thick feathers he will obstruct any access that wants to touch us and under his wings we will take
refuge and our shield will be like a shirt of mail to which no one will approach.

Psalm 91:9 For you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, the Most High, your dwelling place.
NKJV PSALMS 91:14-15 Because he has set his love on me, then I will deliver him; I will exalt him, because he
has known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue
him and honor him;

In the book of Ruth we see how that Moabite woman began her process of integration, how she was accepted,
and how she gave herself time to continue gathering the gleanings until the moment of her decision came and
she went in search of Boaz to cover for her.
NKJV RUTH 2:12-13 May the Lord reward your work, and may your reward be complete from the Lord, the
God of Israel, under whose wings [mantle] you have come to take refuge. Then she said, "My Lord, I have
found favor in your sight, for you have comforted me, and indeed you have spoken kindly to your handmaid,
though I am not like one of your handmaids.

7. COVERAGE IN THE PROPHETS

NKJV ISAIAH 4:5-6 then the Lord will create over every place of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud
by day, that is, smoke, and a shining of flames of fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy; it shall
be a shelter for shade from the heat of the day, and refuge and protection from the storm and rain.
This is an extremely important passage because it shows that there will come a time when the covering will be
caricatured and will be like a tradition without being what God wants, because it says that the only thing they
want is the "name" but not the bread (which represents doctrine), nor the anointing which is represented by the
garment.However, we see that in this passage it indicates what the covering is for and one of the uses is to take
care of the glory, glory in Hebrew is kabod and it is translated as: "the name", but not the bread (which
represents the doctrine), nor the anointing which is represented by the clothing:

CHARACTERS COVERED AND THEIR BENEFITS

1. MATRIARCHY IN FEMALE COVERAGE

JOSE STRIPS OFF BAD COVERAGE
NKJV Genesis 39:12 Then she caught him by the garment, saying, "Lie down with me! But he left his garment
in his hand, and fled outside.
Note that God ascended far above all the heavens to fulfill all things, giving ministerial works (05 Ministries)
delegated in MEN to conform the unity in the Body of Christ (EPHESIANS 04:11), we note that at no time it
speaks of ministerial works in women. In the case of Joseph we note that he rejected the matriarchy by
divesting himself of his covering, we see that it is a full right for us to divest ourselves of the covering we have
as long as we are clothed with the true covering.

2. SHEDDING THE OLD COVER

MERCY SOUGHT - COMPASSION OF CHRIST
NKJ Mark 10:50 Then he, throwing off his cloak, got up and went to Jesus.
Bartimaeus was blind, yet he recognized Jesus as the Son of David, so that when Jesus heard him he stopped
and sent for him, then Bartimaeus throwing off his outer garment, stood up and went to Jesus. We cannot put
one covering on top of another, we have to throw away the old garment that may be a cloak of curse, in order to
be clothed with the new covering that becomes a blessing for our lives.

3. COVERED CHURCH BEFORE THE PAROUSIA

RUT IS COVERED WITH THE MANTLE OF BOAZ
NKJV Ruth 3:9 Then he asked him, "Who are you? And she answered, "I am Ruth, your handmaid. Spread
your wings over your handmaid, for you are a kinsman redeemer.
Ruth, guided by Naomi, figure of the Holy Spirit, went to lay at the feet of Boaz, figure of Jesus Christ, so that
she would be covered, and later she got married, meaning that for marriage we have to be covered. We see
that Ruth (Church) covered herself for two purposes:
1 To take refuge from the darkness that is in the air and
2 For daily spiritual nourishment in order to reach the spiritual maturity that God desires.

4. COVERED CHURCH BEFORE WEDDINGS

REBECA COVERS HERSELF AT THE SIGHT OF ISAAC
NKJV Genesis 24:65 For he had asked the servant, "Who is that man coming across the field toward us?" and
the servant had answered, "He is my lord." Then she took the veil and covered herself.
Rebekah, the figure of the Church, covers herself when she sees Isaac, the figure of Jesus Christ, approaching.
We see that God comes for a covered Church, with the 05 Ministries as the women in order not to affront its
head before the authorities delegated by God.

5. COVERAGE FOR MINISTRY

MINISTERS SENT ARE COVERED
NKJV Exodus 28:41 With them you shall clothe your brother Aaron, and with him his sons. You shall anoint
them, invest them and consecrate them to serve me as priests.
To command Ministers they first had to be clothed with special mantles, anointing them in order to be
consecrated for the people. In the same way that in the Old Testament people of a certain Tribe were born to
exercise a priestly ministry, in the New Testament the Primary Ministries were called to serve the Church.

6. THE COVERING THAT PLEASES GOD

ESTER MADE QUEEN
NKJV Esther 2:15 When Esther, the daughter of Mordecai's uncle Abijahil, whom Mordecai had taken as his
daughter, had her turn to go to the king, she asked nothing except what Hegai, the king's eunuch, the keeper of

1
1
8
the women, had arranged. Thus Esther obtained grace in the eyes of all who saw her.
Esther, divesting herself of her own vanity and will, dressed herself as was pleasing to the king, whereupon the
king's servants, figureheads of the ministers, guided her to be clothed. However, we see that many people live
as they want, always in desolation and anguish because they have no one to take refuge in, they do not act
according to the word of God.

7. COVERAGE FOR THE RECOVERING

THE RECOVERED PRODIGAL SON IS COVERED
KJV Luke 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and put a ring on his hand, and
shoes on his feet.
When the prodigal son returns and is recovered, we notice that he is covered, God makes a new covenant of
love to be fulfilled in its entirety; they straighten his walk figure of the gospel and the Word of God that will give
him peace, they feed his Spirit for his maturity and finally they feast, we know that the gospel that is under a
proper covering gives joy and peace.

THE MYSTERY OF THE COVER

Coverage is a mystery hidden in all writing, and that we must understand in order to develop, so we will see
below where it appears and what is the function it performs.

1. ADAM AND EVE COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS

NKJV GENESIS 3:21 And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
The scripture makes us understand that the first events will be last, and the first event or action of God on man
is to cover him, having seen that they were naked they tried to dress themselves, but they could not, because
they did not know that it was a covering, that is why God makes them clothes of skin and puts them on, to show
his mercy and thus teach us that he does not undress anyone, the one who undresses is sin. We also
understand that the last event will then be of covering, when the corruptible will put on incorruptibility, and the
mortal will put on immortality, new skins.

2. EXODUS IS THE CLOUD - COVERAGE IS GUIDANCE

NKJV Exodus 40:36-38 And in all their journeys when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the
children of Israel set forward; but if the cloud was not taken up, they did not set forward until the day it was
taken up. For the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and by night there was fire there in the
sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
When a ministerial covering is extended with God's backing, a new dimension is experienced, where God
begins to guide through the cloud and the fire, this tells us that no matter how good things look (day) or how bad
(night), God will always be there to guide us if we let Him show us the way.

3. LEVITICAL VESTMENTS - TO CONSECRATE, TO SET APART

NKJV Leviticus 8:30 ¶ And Moses took of the anointing oil and of the blood that was on the altar, and
sprinkled Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments; and he consecrated Aaron and his
garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.
It is interesting the fact that they consecrated the father and the children, this sheds a light of blessing on those
who are fathers, and that is that fathers who obey the call of God, even their children are set apart for God, so
that one day they will serve before the altar of God as priests, in the same way that the fathers did.

4. NUMBER ARE BADGER SKINS - IT'S PROTECTION

NKJV NUMBERS 4:15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy things and all the utensils of
the sanctuary, when the camp is ready to be moved, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them away,
but let them not touch the holy things, for they will die. These are the things that Coat's children will be
transporting in the muster tent.
Once again the covering appears, and we know from the Bible that above all glory there is a covering. God is in
charge of covering that which has value, where there is glory from Him, His covering is never missing, and it is
so important to do it now that we are moved from darkness to light, we must cover every vessel, every utensil,
that nothing is moved without being covered, as it could be contaminated with sadness, with reluctance, with
fear when one moves house sometimes things are lost, others are broken, or stolen, in the same way in the
spiritual, that is why they must be covered for protection, that is why there was not a single utensil that was not

1
1
9
covered that could be moved without being covered.That is why there was not a single utensil that was not
covered.

5. DEUTERONOMY - OBEDIENCE
NKJV DEUTRONOMY 28:2 And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the Lord
your God:
Many failures and misfortunes come to man's life because of his disobedience to God, from the moment the
message of the gospel is presented to a person, and he does not accept or receive this word, from that moment
he legally becomes a disobedient before God, and we see that in Deuteronomy the covering appears in the
form of blessings for obedience to God's commands.

6. IN THE KINGS IT IS MANTLE - TRANSFER THE ANOINTING

NKJV 2KINGS 2:14-15 And he took the mantle of Elijah, which fell from him, and struck the waters, and said,
Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? And when he smote the waters also, they were divided on this side and
on that side, and Elisha passed over. When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho saw him before him,
they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha. And they went to meet him and prostrated themselves on the
ground before him.
One of the benefits of the covering at the ministerial level is that there is the same flow of Spirit, Power and
Revelation, the ministries that do not have a covering cannot know exactly what anointing is moving in them,
because there are no other ministers that can attest to them. We see this in this account, for the same anointing
that was in Elijah was deposited in Elisha, with the difference that Elisha had a double anointing, for Elijah did
sixteen miracles, but Elisha did thirty-two.

7. PSALMS IS THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS - REFUGE, FORTRESS,

Psalm 91:1-4 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say
to the Lord: My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. For He delivers you from the snare of the
fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. With its feathers it covers you, and under its wings you find refuge;
shield and bulwark is its fidelity. Coverage is the hope of having a refuge to turn to at all times, and the
certainty that in that refuge one can find the strength necessary to be able to move forward.

8. ISAIAS IS THE CANOPY OR COVERING - PROTECTING THE KABOD

NKJV ISAIAH 4:5 Then the Lord will create over every place of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud
by day, that is, smoke, and a shining of flames of fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a
canopy;COVERING.
God is protective by nature, he is always concerned about covering and protecting everything that is his, this is
where the importance of yielding to God the property rights of all our goods lies, because then he will extend his
coverage over those goods so that no one will touch them, because they are no longer ours but God's. As long
as we do not understand as David did, that everything we have God has given us, and therefore it belongs to
Him, we will never be able to enjoy it, because we will always be worried and anxious trying to take care of it.

9. EZEQUIEL CHERUBS - ANGELICA COVERAGE

DIMENSIONAL ACCESS AND WORSHIP
NKJV EZEKIEL 10:4 Then the glory of the Lord ascended from the cherubim to the threshold of the temple, and
the temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
These Cherubim are in charge of: fencing and protecting the dimensional access, remember how they were
placed at the entrance to the garden with flaming swords. They are also drawn on each curtain of the
tabernacle as if they were dimensional doors and finally we see them on the ark, the scripture says that "they
are on", that is, on the lid of the ark, two cherubim whose wings touched each other and protected the ark.

The two wings represent dimensional access and worship, like David putting on the Urim and Thummim and
entering the priestly dimension and becoming a worshipper. The ministry that will really influence a city is a
church with outstretched wings, we have to be a true Bethel that gives access to other dimensions in God, we
have to develop a heart full of worship, we have to have a secret chamber like David.

10. CANTARES IS A TREE - GIVES SHADE

NKJV SONG 2:3 ¶ As the apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men.

1
2
0
In its pleasant shade I have sat, and its fruit is sweet to my palate.
There is a reason why that blind man said: I see men as trees and the Bible makes us see in Psalm 1, how
each man is a tree, that is why we must understand the call of each one, because it seems that the call to be a
covering comes from before birth, as predestined by God, because he who is born a pine tree will always be a
pine tree and he who is born a coffee tree will always have shade but will always need a bigger tree to develop.
He who takes shelter under a good tree has a good shadow.

Depending on the coverage we have, so will we be:

1. JUNIPER OF ELIAS FRUSTRATION, RELUCTANCE, FEAR

2. SAUL'S TAMARISK AMARGURA
3. ADAM'S FIG TREE HIDDEN SINS, INIQUITY, HUMANISM, HUMANISM
4. JONAS ZUCCHINI LACKING IN MERCY

11. JESUS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT - UNDER WINGS FOR REVELATION

NKJV MATTHEW 23:37 ¶ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to
her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,
and you would not!
The Lord Jesus Christ wanted to reveal Himself, to show Himself to Israel as their protector, as the one who
would protect them from the destruction of their souls, but they never let Him cover them, that is why until today
the Son of God has not revealed Himself to them.That is why until today the Son of God has not been revealed
to them, that is why he spread his wings to another people who were not a people, and that people is us, and
today we enjoy and enjoy the covering of the one who reveals the hidden, to impel us to consecration and
sanctity.

12. JOHN APOCALYPSE - PROGRESSIVE REVELATION

NKJV REV 1:1-2 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things
which must shortly come to pass; and he made it known, sending it by his angel unto his servant John, who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all that he saw.
Revelation is not a static or isolated fact, it is progressive, that is to say that as one advances in the path of the
knowledge of God, revelation increases, it never stops, it is an endless event, in such a way that the knowledge
of God never ends, because if it were to end then God would not be eternal, all his attributes as true God would
be reduced to nothing.

We see the scale of revelation with hedges

1. GOD
2. JESUS CHRIST
3. ANGEL
4. APOSTLE JOHN
5. SERVERS
6. CHURCH
7. WORLD
The covering among many things is the angelic endowment that God gives an envoy [minister] for angels to
act in the church.

CONCLUSIONS :

1. We note that there are seven steps of delegation for the revelations of God, within which the Apostolate
here on earth is the most important.
2. The covering is interpreted in certain facets throughout the Bible: in the Law, in the Psalms and in the
New Testament, referring to the prophets.
3. Disobedience makes it possible for coverage to move away from people.
4. For the installation of a priesthood, we note that within the steps of sanctification this the
coverage for those who exercise the Primary Ministries here on earth.
5. During the path to perfection there are spiritual deserts, which we have to pass through with
the purpose that our soul be perfected, however, we notice that the people Israelite
was always covered during that period.
6. If we dwell in secret under the shelter of the Most High, we will find refuge under the shadow of the Spirit
Holy.
7. We note that we have free choice in stripping and covering ourselves, however, we note that Joseph
stripped himself of the matriarchal covering that wanted to dominate him.
8. To be clothed in a new garment, we must cast off every garment of curse to be replaced by the garment
of blessing.
9. We note that Ruth and Rebekah were covered before the wedding took place, a figure of the Church
covered before the marriage.
10. We see that the Primary Ministries before being sent to exercise the work of Christ have to be covered so
that their sheep are sheltered under that same Ministerial covering.
11. We note that the Church must be guided by the Ministers that God has sent so that her garments may
become spotless and unwrinkled in the sight of Jesus Christ.
12. The prodigal son who recovers, is covered, a covenant of love is made with him, his path is straightened,
he is fed and they feast with him.
13. The church should be under authority but not under authoritarianism.
14. Every sheep hears the voice of its shepherd recognizes him and follows him.

THE SERVICE
NKJV Matthew 20:26 It is not to be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you
shall be your servant,
NKJV Matthew 20:27 And whosoever will be first among you shall be your servant;
NKJV Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His
life as a ransom for many.

The last stage of the integration of the newborn into the Body of Christ is service, it is the last stage because it
is more important that the one who is born again first be baptized with the Holy Spirit, that he learns to seek
God through the word, fasting and prayer, that he learns to develop in praise and worship, and finally that he
learns to serve.

In the gospel of John, chapter 11, we find the story of a family that loses one of its members, this family was
constantly visited by Jesus, who came to teach them about the word of God, however, of the three only one,
Mary, sat at Jesus' feet to listen to his every word, while Martha dedicated herself to housework, and Lazarus
was never present for teaching, much less for service in the house.s feet to listen to his every word, while
Martha devoted herself to the chores of the house, and Lazarus was never present for teaching and even less
for service in the house.
NKJV Luke 10:38-39 As they were on their way, He entered a certain village, and a woman named Martha
received Him into her house. And she had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his
word.

We see in this account of Luke 10, three groups of people: those who, like Mary, listen to the word, praise and
worship. Those like Martha never hear a word, never praise or worship, they only like to be serving, one day
they are in children, another day in praise, another day giving the welcome, they are never seen in worship
worshiping. Finally, those who, like Lazarus, know Christ, but never listen to him, nor help in the service of the
house, do not like to congregate, they go to worship once a month or two, and when they hear a message that
shakes them and reveals what they have hidden, they stop attending.
NKJV Luke 10:40-42 But Martha was troubled with all the preparations; and she came to Him and said,
"Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve (diakoneo) alone? So tell him to help me. The Lord
answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are troubled and troubling yourself about so many things;
but only one thing is necessary, and Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.
It is very important that we realize that the best part of our relationship with Christ is not the service, but to sit at
his feet to listen to his word and worship him (Mary), this does not mean that we should not serve, we should
serve (Martha), but we must keep a balance between our worship to God (word, praise and worship) and our
service to God (diakonia).
But we have not spoken of the part that is represented by Lazarus, and there is not much to say, because the
part he chose is the worst part: neither word, nor worship, nor service, that is why he got sick and died, while his
sisters managed to continue living, because the word of God is life for those who listen to it and live by it, the
one who lives far from the word and the congregation, is close to die (spiritually).

It is interesting that in Matthew 20:26, the Lord Jesus Christ tells his disciples that he who does not want to
humble himself but to exalt himself above others, he will become a servant (diakono) of others, moreover, in
verse 28 He says that He did not come to be served (exercise diakoneo towards Him) but to set an example by
being a diakono (exercise diakoneo towards others).

NKJV Mark 9:35 And He sat down and called the twelve and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he
shall be last of all and servant (diákonos) of all.
The Lord Jesus Christ tells us that whoever wants to be first, whoever wants to have the primacy, must first be
diakonos of all, and he does not refer only to those who are inside the church, he refers to everyone who needs
a service from us.

THE SERVICE
IS TO GOVERN AND SERVE

In the first miracle that the Lord developed in his ministry, the diakonos appear, who are in charge of filling the
jars with water and then the Lord will be in charge of turning them into wine.
NKJV John 2:9 And when the steward of the banquet tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not
whence it came (though the servants [deacons] who had drawn the water knew), he called the bridegroom

NKJV John 12:26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If
anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
It says that the Father will honor the diakonos, because he honors those who honor him, Caleb had a different

spirit serving the Lord, that is why when they entered to conquer Canaan God honored him by giving him all the
giants that lived in the land that was given to him as an inheritance.

The word Diakonia, as we have already seen, is the one used to describe the service to the Lord, but let us note
that it is from every point of view, for suddenly it also appears as an attribution of the primary ministers in Acts
chapter six verses one and four. This is obvious if we consult a Greek text, since none of our Bibles translate
this word as service or deacon.
SSE Acts 6:1 In those days, as the number of the disciples increased, there was murmuring among the Greeks
against the Hebrews, that their widows were despised in the daily ministry [diakonia].
SSE Acts 6:4 And we will persevere in prayer, and in the ministry [diakonia] of the word.

The people were becoming disordered from "the administration" of help for the body [food], that is, from the
tables, and seven were chosen from among the disciples who could take this attribute, so after choosing them
the apostles laid hands on them to set the tables in order, and the apostles devoted themselves to prayer and
the ministry [diakonia] of the word.
With this we see three ranks of deacons, everyone who serves in the work of God is exercising the diaconate.

1. Those who serve others without appointment.

2. Those who serve with appointment at the tables, these are the servants of the temple.

3. Those who serve with a call to surrender and dedicate themselves to the diakonia of the "word", these
are the primary ministries.

NKJV EPHESIANS 4:11-12 And He gave some {to be} apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and
some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry,[DIAKONIA] for the
edifying of the body of Christ;

Furthermore, we can see that at the heavenly level, there is an organizational structure that is apparently the
same that the Bible teaches us to integrate into the government of Christ's church.
NKJV PHILIPPENSES 3:20 For our citizenship [ POLITEUMA: A FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND LAWS
GOVERNING ADMINISTRATION]is in heaven, from whence also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ,
That is why it says thy will be done [be established, be organized], seeing this leads us to think that in heaven
for the service they are organized in the same way: with deacons.

NKJV HEBREWS 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister [DIAKONOS] for the sake of
those who will inherit salvation?
2CO 9:12 For the ministration [DIAKONIA] of this service [LITURGIA] not only supplies with fullness what is
lacking to the saints, but also overflows through many thanksgivings [ EUCHARISTIAS ]to God. Worship is
another form of service to God, and apparently one of the most important, because it says that this service is
intended to provide us with what we need to complete our process of perfection, but it allows us to offer
thanksgiving before God for this service, that is, praise and adoration.

SERVICE BLESSINGS
1. SERVICE AND BLESSING GO HAND IN HAND
NASB Deuteronomy 10:8 "At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the
Lord, and to stand before the Lord, to minister to Him and to bless in His name to this day. We were chosen
from before the foundation of the world to be bearers of the presence of God in holiness, as priests of the Most
High, however, we also see that we were chosen to serve God, and bless our brothers, because in this verse
the action of service goes towards God, and the blessing towards men, in this case, our family, those closest to
us, are blessed by our service to God.

2. SERVING WE ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE BODY

NASB Deuteronomy 13:4 After the LORD your God you shall walk, and you shall fear Him; you shall keep His
commandments, you shall obey His voice, you shall serve Him, and you shall cleave to Him.

1

Service allows us to integrate ourselves into the body of Christ, through koinonia, communion with the other
members of the body. For the members of the body individually have no life, nor can they perform any service,
whereas being all integrated as one body, they can serve for many purposes.

3. SERVE WITH JOY

NASB Deuteronomy 28:47 Because you did not serve the LORD your God with gladness and joy of heart, when
you had the abundance of all things,
It is not only about entering a service area, it is about doing it with joy, with gladness of heart, and someone
may think that the verse says that it is "while there was abundance", and it is here where the error of many lies
in thinking that since they do not have everything they want, then they are not abundant, and we must
understand that abundance is not having what we want, but what we need, and mainly: "give thanks for what
you have" instead of "claiming for what we have not received". So then, those who wait to be rich to serve God
will always be poor, and the rich who wait to be poor to serve God will always be rich, because both the devil
will take from them or give to them, as the case may be, so that they will always be discontent and will not serve
God in spite of having everything. Let us do everything with joy, with gladness, because God is worthy of
everything, and everything belongs to him.

4. THE WAY TO SERVE IS: IN INTEGRITY AND FIDELITY

NKJV Joshua 24:14 ¶ Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in integrity and faithfulness; put away the
gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
It is important that we keep before God an image of integrity and faithfulness; we must avoid at all costs falling
into the same sins or mistakes as our ancestors. Integrity is to be transparent, to keep from acting in a way that
we were not taught, faithfulness is that no matter what happens around us, we will remain at our post, always
obeying. Integrity and faithfulness disappear when we allow false gods to arise to serve them (religion, money,
work, business), if we no longer go to worship for work, we already have a new god, if we no longer go to
worship to take care of our wealth, we already have a new god, everything that we place before service to God,
is a pagan god, that sooner or later God will overthrow.

5. THE CALL TO SERVE IS FAMILIAR

NKJV Joshua 24:15 And if it does not seem good to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom
you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served, which were on the other side of the flood, or the
gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but I and my house will serve the Lord.
We all have the opportunity to choose, God will not force anyone to serve him, he expects us all to serve him
out of our love and gratitude for the work he is doing in our lives, however, this passage shows us a great truth
and that is that the call to serve is family, the heads of families are responsible both to set an example, and to
make sure that our wife and children follow us, no matter what others choose, our choice should always be
God.

6. DIVINE ORDER: WORSHIP AND SERVE AS GOD WANTS AND NOT FOR ENTERTAINMENT NKJV
Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him*, "Get thee hence, Satan! For it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve."
Service to God is not a way to spend time in church when prostrating to worship and sitting to listen to the word
of God has become tedious, when the devil tempted the Lord Jesus Christ he asked for worship, but the Lord's
answer was even broader, because he told him that not only worship belongs to God, but service, this indicates
that worship and service go hand in hand, the one who worships is a good servant, because he will do things as
God wants, but the one who does not worship, will be someone who all the time will serve in bad taste,
mistreating the word of God.The one who worships is a good servant, because he will do things as God wants,
but the one who does not worship, will be someone who all the time will serve in bad taste, mistreating his
fellow servants, insubject, seeing only defects in the pastor or the leaders, and finally will begin to transfer this
feeling to others to contaminate them.
From this we can see a reality and that is that we serve what we worship, if we worship God we serve Him, if
we worship money, we will serve money.

7. SERVED BY THANK YOU

NKJV Mark 1:31 {Jesus} came to her, and took her by the hand, and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and
she ministered to them.

1

5
Only someone with a grateful heart is capable of humbling himself and serving the one who brought him health
or well-being. All of us who have been born again must develop within ourselves a gratitude as great as our
desire to serve the one who healed us and freed us from sin. Let us note that no one told her to serve, it was an
action that was born from within her when she saw that she had been snatched from the clutches of death, the
least she could do was to deny herself to serve the Savior of the world. Let us never approach God with a heart
that does not emanate gratitude, that does not give off the odor of thanksgiving, for God is not pleased with
haughtiness of spirit.

8. WHO IS SERVED
NKJV Ephesians 6:7 Serve willingly, as unto the Lord, and not unto men,
Whatever we do in the church as part of our service, we should do it not to please men, or to please someone,
but to please God, whatever the service is, let us not look at the people who may benefit, let us think that if it
were the Lord to whom we would render that service, how would we render it? Would we do it reluctantly, or
perhaps bitterly, of course not, we would do it gladly and without a second thought.
9. SERVED IN CLEAN CLOTHES
NKJV Exodus 39:1 In addition to the blue, purple, and scarlet {cloth} they made finely woven garments for
ministering in the holy place, {and} they also made the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD had
commanded Moses.
It is important that we emphasize the fact that the service should be done with clean garments, with white
garments, and that speaks to us of holiness and consecration, we cannot serve God with hidden sins, we
cannot serve God in the midst of adultery, or fornication, or vices, or debauchery of any kind, we should prepare
ourselves for the service with prayer and fasting, if possible, and if we have problems with someone, better fix
them before serving, never refuse to serve under the pretext that he is not well, better fix his sinful situation,
better fix it before serving, never refuse to serve under the pretext that he is not well, better fix his sinful
situation.We must prepare ourselves for service with prayer and fasting, if possible, and if we have problems
with someone, better fix them before serving, never refuse to serve under the pretext that he is not doing well,
better fix his sinful situation, whatever it may be, and serve, the Israelites in the desert, although they sinned,
and God forgave them, but they still had to continue day by day with their service to God.

10. BRINGS SUPPLY AND SANITATION

NKJV Exodus 23:25 But you shall serve the LORD your God, and He shall bless your bread and your water;
and I will take away the diseases from among you.
When we commit ourselves to God in service, recognizing Him as Lord and only God, then He blesses our lives
by sending daily provision, but not only that, but He keeps sickness away from our life and our family.

11. SERVICE IS TO THE BODY OF CHRIST

NASB Matthew 25:44 Then they also will answer, saying, "Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you?"
This verse speaks of the privilege of serving the Lord through his children (who are his body), that is why the
scripture also says "kiss the son so that the Father may be pleased", serving the brothers we are serving the
Lord, and note that it is not only in the church, it is to the sick, the prisoners, it is to serve them in whatever
condition they are in, as in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

CONCLUSIONS
1. God brought his people out of the slavery so that to make you a party and serve
you.
2. He invested the Levites and I consecrate you to serve as priests, that is, the figure ofthe
primary ministries in the New Testament.
3. In 1 Kings 10:5 when the Queen of Sheba saw Solomon's
servants remained breathless at the
see that those who served y the King were dressed alike, this tells us that just as the King's from
above, the one below must prosper.
4. In 1 Kings 12:7 King Rehoboam did not want the principle of serving the people first, so that the people
would then serve him, as a result of this the reindeer was divided into two parts until today.
5. In the parable of the prodigal we see how the son served all the time, but the laborers only came to

1

 fulfill their schedule and nothing more.
6. Service goes hand in hand with blessing
7. Service allows us to integrate ourselves into the body of Christ: the church.
8. It must be done with joy of heart.
9. He who serves must be whole and faithful.
10. It is a family call, i.e., each head of household must strive to integrate his or her family.
11. The divine order is that we serve that which we worship.
12. It is served out of gratitude, not out of fear or obligation.
13. It is served in the midst of men but must be done as unto the Lord.
14. We must keep our garments clean, so that our service may be pleasing to God.
