Have mercy,

0:01

for you are worthy,

0:05

Lord. Thank you for the love of our

0:08

lives.

0:09

Everything was made by you

0:13

and everything is for you.

0:16

Thank him.

0:17

You are

0:25

worthy of glory.

0:29

Thank you to those who watch us because

0:32

you are worthy.

0:36

We declare that your kingdom is manifested

0:40

not only here in the temple, but

0:44

everywhere is for

0:53

a strong applause to God.

1:13

Say it strongly, please, to Jesus.

1:21

Our God is good all the time.

1:25

All the time.

1:26

God is good.

1:28

God is good.

1:30

All the time.

1:32

Our God is good.

1:36

Before we begin, I'm going to ask you a

1:38

favor.

1:40

If you are going to do someone a favor

1:41

. You're going to take out your cell phone

1:46

and look for my YouTube channel,

1:49

Apostle Miguel Reyes.

1:51

We're going to give a live speech. I know there are

1:54

people who need it. So

1:56

you're going to take out your phone,

1:59

search for my YouTube channel Apostle

2:01

Miguel Reyes, and share it with

2:03

all your contacts,

2:06

because I know there are people who are

2:08

longing for an answer from

2:11

God in the midst of this crisis. That's what

2:14

many people are wondering about these days.

2:18

What does God want me to do

2:21

in a moment of crisis, anxiety, or

2:23

need?

2:24

And if not, if you do not follow me, you are in

2:26

sin. You have to follow me there on YouTube.

2:30

Say follow,

2:33

share.

2:35

So

2:37

we are living through it,

2:38

and it's not just in Venezuela; right now

2:41

the crisis has been amplified in Venezuela

2:45

with the whole situation of the earthquake. I'll be

2:48

talking and you can be sharing.

2:50

Share it with all your

2:53

YouTube contacts so people can

2:55

connect. We're going to give

2:57

people a chance to connect.

3:02

So, it's important

3:05

because many people in this time of

3:08

crisis, chaos, and

3:10

conflict

3:13

are asking themselves, "

3:15

What is

3:17

God's answer for my life?" How many people have

3:21

wondered that? Raise your hand if you

3:24

've asked. What is

3:25

God saying about this crisis we are

3:28

experiencing?

3:30

So

3:32

I was there on Wednesday, this

3:35

past Wednesday, I

3:37

had Wednesday, I was there on Thursday and I

3:40

had [music] yesterday. Wednesday, Thursday and

3:42

yesterday.

3:44

I was in La Guaira

3:47

and

3:49

one of my pastor friends there

3:54

told me,

3:56

"85%

3:59

of my church

4:01

was left under the rubble, not the

4:03

church building, but the people."

4:07

literally 99% of his leadership,

4:11

his entire government, and many members of his

4:14

church, meaning he was left with only

4:18

15%.

4:20

And he tells me

4:23

that in the midst of the confusion

4:26

and in the midst of the whole situation he

4:30

is fighting with God.

4:33

People here don't fight with God, do they

4:35

?

4:37

But there are people who do fight with God.

4:39

So, he says that in the midst of the

4:41

confusion and the situation, he

4:45

begins to argue with God because he

4:48

isn't a native of La Guaira,

4:51

and he starts arguing with God and says to

4:53

God,

4:55

"Why did you bring me from so far away?

5:00

Because after the time you

5:03

gave me these people, after I earned their love,

5:07

won their hearts,

5:10

and was beginning to see the fruits

5:13

of discipleship,

5:16

of all that, of everything

5:19

that comes with having a people—

5:23

preparing them, training them,

5:25

educating them, correcting them, teaching them.

5:29

So he says that he's in that

5:31

struggle with God

5:33

and says to Him, "Why did you give them to me if you were going

5:36

to take them away?" "

5:38

Why did you give them to me, and all the time

5:42

I spent loving them, training them, and

5:45

discipling them?"

5:48

Then he says that in a very

5:50

subtle, yet firm way,

5:54

he heard God's voice, and God told him

5:57

two things. He said, "Number one,

6:02

they were never yours, they

6:07

were always mine."

6:10

And number two,

6:13

instead of fighting with me,

6:16

thank me

6:19

because because of your work,

6:22

because you educated and trained them, they

6:25

are all with me.

6:29

[applause]

6:33

And that's why today [music]

6:37

the word that God gave us

6:41

is, how does God respond in the midst of

6:44

crisis? How does God respond in the midst of

6:48

chaos?

6:49

He tells me that the word that God

6:51

gave to his heart

6:53

took away his sadness,

6:56

his pain, and his

6:59

frustration.

7:01

Because

7:04

God categorically gave him two powerful answers.

7:08

One, he told me, "Friend,

7:12

the church is not ours.

7:17

Always prepare people for God.

7:22

And two,

7:25

he tells me, "The satisfaction I

7:27

have

7:29

in the midst of the crisis of pain and

7:31

chaos

7:33

is knowing that none of those who left

7:36

this earth were lost because God

7:39

told me so."

7:41

Wow.

7:43

That brought a lot of reflection to my

7:46

spirit and my heart.

7:48

And God gave him an answer,

7:50

right? In the midst of a crisis.

7:53

He was in crisis, he had

7:56

collapsed, he was fighting with God,

8:00

but nothing takes God by surprise.

8:05

Our God

8:08

is a God of purpose,

8:11

and perhaps right now we don't understand this whole

8:14

earthquake situation.

8:17

Why did so many people die? There is still a

8:21

lot of uncertainty about that,

8:25

but I believe that in the coming days

8:29

God will be giving answers,

8:32

not about why.

8:35

God keeps the reason why to Himself.

8:38

Thousands of "why" questions may arise, but what

8:42

really interests us

8:46

is the "what for."

8:48

What is God's purpose?

8:52

So,

8:53

first of all,

8:56

how does God respond in the midst of a

8:58

crisis? How does God respond in the midst of

9:01

chaos? How does God respond in the midst of

9:05

upheaval?

9:07

I've been able to look at some social media

9:10

because I don't like to look at too much because there are

9:13

truths, but there are also many

9:14

lies.

9:16

So, what caught my attention was

9:20

a video I saw where a rescuer is

9:23

inside the rubble, and

9:26

further down in the rubble, there's someone else. The

9:29

rescuer is talking to that person,

9:32

and suddenly, in that same moment, the ground starts to

9:36

shake.

9:38

The person inside the rubble

9:40

says to him, "It's shaking, it's shaking,

9:43

go, save yourself."

9:46

And the rescuer says, "You know

9:49

Jesus."

9:52

And he begins to make a confession

9:53

of faith. "

9:55

Declare with me."

9:58

That really impacted me because

10:01

the rescuer was willing to

10:04

die

10:06

if the whole thing came crashing down on him, but he was so

10:09

clear about his purpose: to

10:12

go with God.

10:15

But he didn't know if the person under

10:17

the rubble had Jesus. And he

10:20

understood that his assignment at that

10:22

moment wasn't to look after his own

10:25

salvation, but to look after the

10:27

salvation of the person

10:29

under the rubble. So,

10:32

I can understand that in the midst of a

10:35

crisis, the most important thing you and I

10:38

must

10:40

cry out for is... To

10:43

yearn for is the presence of God.

10:48

Because a song says that if I have

10:51

Him, I have everything. The Bible says that

10:54

Moses said, "I'm not going to do anything, I'm

10:57

not going anywhere, I'm not going to

11:00

move." Unless you give me the

11:03

guarantee that wherever I go, your

11:06

presence will go with me. The important thing

11:09

is not the crisis, the important thing is not the

11:12

earthquake, the important thing is not the chaos,

11:15

the important thing is that in the midst of the

11:17

crisis, in the midst of the earthquake, in the midst

11:20

of the chaos, [shout] you can have the

11:23

guarantee that the presence of God

11:26

is with you.

11:29

That is the answer, one of

11:32

God's main answers. Because

11:35

I ask myself, how many thousands or

11:38

millions of people pray for Venezuela

11:41

inside and outside?

11:44

Now, the question is,

11:47

why didn't God prevent the earthquake?

11:54

It's simple

11:56

because that earthquake, however hard and

11:59

painful it may be,

12:02

has a purpose.

12:06

And it is written,

12:08

if you read Matthew 24, it

12:12

is written there,

12:14

"And the God you and I serve is not

12:16

a lying God."

12:19

And Venezuela is one of the few countries

12:23

that fits perfectly with everything in Matthew 24.

12:28

We have experienced the plague,

12:31

we have experienced persecution, we

12:33

have experienced rumors of war, we have

12:36

seen the exodus, we have seen famine,

12:41

all of that is written. Now, an

12:44

earthquake,

12:46

what else? The earth will never be the

12:47

same.

12:49

I read from serious experts, not just

12:52

anyone, serious experts.

12:54

They said

12:56

that for the next 6 months there will be

13:00

movements in the earth

13:04

because the separation of the layer was

13:07

between 60 and 90 cm, almost 1 meter. That is

13:12

, if there was a line on a sidewalk

13:14

here, this sidewalk is this way and this one

13:17

is over there.

13:19

There is a separation. I was talking to someone

13:21

in La Guaira who said that there are bodies that will never be

13:23

found.

13:25

No matter how much they remove the rubble.

13:28

Now, why will they never

13:30

find them? Because the earth opened up, it

13:33

The people were dredged and then it was closed again.

13:36

So, there are things that only

13:39

happened in the Bible when God declared

13:43

judgment on the people. Now, many people

13:46

are emphasizing the judgment in Venezuela.

13:50

I know some people are going to criticize me

13:53

for what I'm about to say,

13:55

but for me, there is

13:57

idolatry in every nation.

14:03

And I'll tell you something else.

14:06

There is also idolatry in the Lord's church

14:08

,

14:11

because there are people who, where God should be, have their

14:17

children, their husband, their

14:21

wife, their money, their

14:23

job. So, let's not talk

14:26

about idolatry, let's

14:28

not talk about judgment. Let's talk about what

14:30

the Word says. It says that all

14:33

nations, all nations will be

14:37

shaken. Now, what is the purpose

14:40

of the shaking? What is the purpose?

14:43

What is God's response in the midst

14:46

of a shaking? That's what I want to

14:48

tell you today. God's response in the midst

14:50

of a shaking is for you to have the

14:54

conviction that in the midst of pain, in the

14:58

midst of crisis, in the

15:00

midst of chaos, in In the midst of

15:02

any situation,

15:06

Almighty God

15:10

is with you.

15:18

I believe,

15:20

from my perspective—and I don't mean to state

15:23

this as a doctrine—but I believe that,

15:27

from my point of view, the place where there is the

15:29

most faith on earth right now

15:32

is in Venezuela. Amen.

15:36

From my perspective, because I know there are

15:39

many people who have come to know the

15:42

Lord, who were far away, who

15:45

were there crying out.

15:47

There are people who have been trapped for 15 days under

15:51

the rubble with everything sealed off. How

15:55

can those people breathe? There is an

15:58

answer from God. The presence

16:01

of God has been under that

16:04

rubble, telling those people—

16:07

ah, I don't know if you

16:09

understand me.

16:12

In a crisis, in chaos, when something

16:16

collapses, the most important thing is not that

16:18

God prevents the chaos.

16:22

The most important thing is not that God

16:24

prevents the crisis. The most important thing is

16:26

not that God

16:28

prevents the problem. The

16:30

most important thing is that in the midst of the

16:34

crisis, in the midst of the problem, in the

16:37

midst of the chaos, the answer

16:41

comes from God with His presence.

16:47

I believe that the most important thing

16:51

in this crisis And in this situation, it is about

16:55

believing in God's promises. For

16:59

example, Isaiah 41:10 says,

17:04

"Do not fear.

17:08

I know your life will never be the same. Mine

17:12

neither.

17:14

We weren't used to

17:16

this, we

17:18

were used to other kinds of

17:20

things,

17:22

but now we have to

17:24

adapt to this new normal.

17:28

Because as an apostle, as a pastor, and as a

17:31

man of God, I have to speak

17:34

the word to you.

17:37

And the Bible says so, I'm not saying it. Glory

17:40

to God that my sister raised me from a

17:41

young age and I learned to read with

17:44

the Bible. I mean, I know the Bible is

17:46

true,

17:48

but I can't create a false

17:50

expectation for you. I know that many of you

17:51

come seeking a word of faith, a

17:54

word of encouragement, a word of

17:55

comfort, but if I do not tell you what I am about to

17:58

tell you, I will be judged

18:00

by God. But I have to tell you the

18:03

truth, things aren't going to get better

18:06

because it's not what the Bible says.

18:09

The Bible says that everything will go from bad to

18:11

worse,

18:12

but what if the Bible says

18:16

that even if everything is going from bad to worse, there is

18:19

a guarantee?

18:22

And do you know what the guarantee is?

18:24

That in the midst of crisis, in the midst of

18:27

chaos, in the midst of everything getting

18:31

worse, there is a guarantee. Do you know which one it is?

18:35

God, if you call on him, he will

18:39

be with you.

18:43

[applause]

18:44

I think that's the most important thing in the

18:46

midst of a crisis.

18:50

See

18:53

how we certify this presence.

18:57

On one of my trips,

19:00

I went to see one of my pastors who

19:02

was near Tanahuarena, but he

19:04

was up in the mountains, and we went there by

19:06

motorcycle.

19:09

He told me,

19:11

"I didn't lose that many people, but I lost

19:14

very valuable people.

19:16

I lost people from my church,

19:19

but what I lost most were many people from

19:21

my generation,

19:23

those who grew up with me, who

19:25

lived in those buildings.

19:28

But just as I lost people, I

19:32

also have two

19:35

impressive testimonies. He told me, 'I

19:39

have a spiritual daughter

19:42

who has a granddaughter.' She stayed with

19:44

her granddaughter because the girl was orphaned,

19:48

not in this tragedy, but due to another

19:50

situation.

19:53

And he told me that when the

19:55

earthquake began,

19:57

the woman was living on the ninth floor of one of the OPP buildings

20:03

.

20:07

As you've seen on

20:09

social media, most of the people

20:11

inside those buildings

20:13

died.

20:17

But what strikes me is that

20:19

she says she was on the

20:22

ninth floor with her granddaughter,

20:25

and in the blink of an eye, they were out

20:28

on a street covered in dust."

20:30

[music]

20:32

But the most impressive thing is that they

20:36

both recount that they

20:39

were in the tower, right? On the

20:41

ninth floor, and they felt a

20:43

movement that brought the ground down, and when

20:47

they came to, they were on the other side of the

20:49

street and the building was gone,

20:54

but they felt as if a

20:57

carpet

20:58

carried them and set them on their feet.

21:05

I believe that many miracles

21:09

are going to begin to be documented,

21:14

because the most important thing

21:17

in the midst of a crisis, in the midst of

21:21

chaos,

21:23

is that the presence of God

21:26

is with us.

21:29

Then, Isaiah 41:10 says, "Do not fear.

21:33

Because I am with you. Do

21:35

not be discouraged,

21:37

for I am your God. He's

21:41

not saying he's going to save you from the

21:43

problem, he's not saying he's going to

21:46

save you from chaos. What he's telling you

21:50

is that there's a guarantee, there's a

21:53

promise that if you believe it in the midst of

21:56

chaos, in the midst of crisis, in the midst of

21:59

the situation, he gives you a promise and the

22:03

promise is that he will [shout] be with you

22:06

.

22:09

[applause]

22:10

[music] It

22:16

strikes me quite a bit that he

22:18

tells you, "I'm not going to change the

22:22

circumstances"

22:25

because for God it was easy to deliver

22:28

Peter from Satan's shaking.

22:32

Moreover, Jesus himself said to Peter, "

22:35

Peter,

22:37

Satan has asked to sift you

22:40

like wheat,"

22:42

but the Lord Jesus did not say to him, "I have

22:44

prayed, I have begged that this may not

22:46

happen to you." Do

22:50

you know what he said to her? I have prayed to the

22:53

Father that

22:55

in the midst of the crisis, in the

22:59

midst of the difficulty, in the

23:02

midst of the pain, in the

23:04

midst of the suffering

23:07

you may understand, Peter, I have prayed that

23:11

your faith may not diminish. Because when a

23:13

crisis like this comes, when chaos

23:16

like this comes, when upheaval

23:18

like this comes, the first thing that is

23:21

hit is faith.

23:25

But I want to thank God

23:29

for Venezuela

23:31

because

23:35

every rescue was celebrated as if it involved thousands of

23:38

people. Amen.

23:40

That means that right now,

23:44

the nation with the most faith

23:48

is Venezuela.

23:51

[applause]

23:52

And if it is the nation

23:55

where there is the most faith, [applause] I

23:58

also believe

24:00

that we are about

24:03

to see a massive salvation of souls

24:08

like we have never seen in our lifetimes

24:10

.

24:14

And I'll tell you something else.

24:17

Do you know

24:19

what I perceive in my spirit?

24:22

Many of the people who were under

24:24

those rubble

24:27

will be the preachers of tomorrow.

24:29

Amen.

24:30

Not because they read a book, not because

24:33

they saw a sermon, it's because each

24:37

of them has a

24:41

true story to tell, that in the

24:45

midst of the rubble, in the midst of

24:48

certain death, [I shout] there was

24:53

God with them. Because, how do you [scream]

24:56

explain that people

24:59

were still breathing after 15 days? [shout] I believe that

25:02

God gave those people the breath of life

25:06

.

25:12

I believe that in the coming years

25:15

those people who rose [shout]

25:17

from the rubble will be the

25:21

most powerful preachers on the whole earth. Amen.

25:28

How does God respond in the midst of

25:30

crisis?

25:32

How does God respond in the midst of a

25:35

storm? How does God respond in the midst

25:38

of chaos?

25:42

It seems contradictory.

25:45

It is through peace.

25:50

Because

25:53

the hardest thing

25:56

to preserve

25:59

in a crisis is peace.

26:03

But look at what God says, and this

26:04

word is for you and for those who see me on

26:07

the internet as well.

26:10

My peace I leave with you;

26:12

my peace I give to you. And here is the

26:17

famous word, not as the world gives it.

26:21

You have to understand this:

26:24

when the world says peace agreement,

26:28

write it down. What's coming is a

26:30

serious conflict.

26:32

But God says,

26:36

in the midst of the crisis,

26:39

in the midst of the chaos,

26:44

if you trust in me, God says,

26:48

I will give you that peace. Amen.

26:54

Let me repeat it to you again.

26:57

I believe there are people who will

26:58

leave here today healthy

27:01

from the care.

27:05

Because, what exactly does

27:08

attention do? People get stressed,

27:11

overwhelmed, and their blood pressure skyrockets

27:13

.

27:15

Now, why?

27:17

Because they cannot reconcile peace.

27:21

But when God gives you peace,

27:24

everything falls into place.

27:27

Now, why?

27:29

Where does that peace come from? Apostle, but

27:32

how can you say you have peace in the midst of the

27:34

storm? I know that's

27:36

supernatural. That's why God says that he gives you

27:38

answers in times of crisis, and one of those

27:41

answers is peace. Now, why does it have to

27:43

be God? Because everyone

27:46

in a crisis is

27:47

desperate,

27:49

overwhelmed, anxious,

27:51

stressed.

27:53

But if you have peace in the midst of a

27:55

storm, believe me, that's not you.

27:59

It is the presence of God

28:02

within you.

28:07

[applause]

28:12

They are here. Amen.

28:16

What does peace do? The peace of God. What does

28:20

that peace do?

28:24

Let you and I move forward

28:28

in the midst of the crisis.

28:31

Allow you and me to

28:34

maintain a supernatural calm in the

28:37

midst of the crisis. So,

28:39

undoubtedly,

28:41

one answer in the midst of the crisis is

28:44

that God gives you peace.

28:48

Number three,

28:50

how does God respond in the midst of a

28:53

crisis or chaos, in the midst of a

28:57

difficult situation?

29:00

And here we're going to cut a little

29:02

deeper.

29:04

Respond by giving wisdom.

29:09

discernment

29:11

and direction.

29:13

Repeat it. Wisdom,

29:15

wisdom,

29:16

discernment.

29:17

Discernment

29:18

and direction.

29:19

And direction.

29:20

Now, for me they are all important,

29:23

but at this moment there are many people without

29:26

direction,

29:28

without knowing what to do, without knowing how to

29:31

react.

29:33

So I think the first thing, the very first thing,

29:35

is that God gives us direction.

29:39

Say it with me, Lord,

29:41

Lord,

29:41

give me direction. Give me your

29:42

address.

29:43

So why do people commit suicide?

29:47

Because people have no direction.

29:50

So, for example, someone owes an

29:53

amount of money X.

29:57

And the answer

30:00

was Thursday of that week.

30:03

But feeling overwhelmed and directionless, he

30:05

decides to commit suicide on Tuesday.

30:09

Make a permanent decision

30:15

in a temporary conflict.

30:17

Analyze this.

30:20

God's answer. God was going to

30:23

provide the solution to the debt.

30:26

Someone had already booked for Thursday.

30:29

But the person is overwhelmed, has no

30:31

direction,

30:33

believes there is no way out, decides to

30:36

commit suicide on Tuesday, but on Thursday he was going to

30:40

have the resources. So, make a

30:45

permanent decision

30:47

in a temporary process.

30:50

When you don't know what to do in a

30:53

conflict, do nothing.

30:56

Wait on God.

30:58

The hardest thing

31:01

in the midst of chaos is to stay

31:03

calm. That's the hardest part.

31:06

But if you manage to overcome that barrier,

31:09

I am convinced that at the moment

31:13

you least expect it, God will give you

31:16

wisdom, God will give you

31:19

discernment, and above all, He will give you

31:21

direction.

31:23

[music]

31:26

[applause]

31:31

Now, what direction do we need?

31:33

God's guidance.

31:36

That's where the key lies,

31:38

God's direction, God's wisdom.

31:42

James 1:5 says, "If any

31:46

of you lacks wisdom—and

31:51

here I would say 'us' to

31:52

include myself—

31:55

let him ask God for it, and

31:58

he will give it to you richly and

32:00

abundantly."

32:03

I have been asking

32:05

God for wisdom.

32:07

how to attack and be effective

32:10

in this crisis,

32:13

because it is only just beginning.

32:15

And do you know what God told me when I

32:18

asked him for directions? The Lord told me,

32:21

you have to put on Joseph's mantle,

32:26

because the collateral damage

32:30

that comes from this

32:33

earthquake crisis,

32:35

we have not yet seen it.

32:39

There are hundreds of orphaned boys and girls.

32:44

So I say to him, "Lord, give me

32:45

wisdom and connect me with the right people

32:48

because they know, through [music], by

32:53

having an apostolic and

32:54

prophetic mindset, which is not a cliché, nor

32:57

a fad, nor a hierarchy, it is a

33:00

mantle." Understand that. I am not an apostle

33:03

because I am a hierarch, no. It's because of the

33:05

vision.

33:07

Then, God anticipates me and says,

33:10

"I'm going to give you a design to

33:12

train adoptive parents." You're going to

33:16

start doing a job before

33:18

people ask you to do it. There's

33:21

a job to be done.

33:23

Families who have been unable to have children need to be evaluated. I

33:26

mean, there's a reason for that, you see? So, there are

33:28

people who haven't been able to have children, and there's a reason for that

33:30

. Now, why? Because they are

33:32

the candidates to adopt those boys

33:35

and girls who were left without parents. We in

33:40

the church need to devise a plan to

33:43

help those young people who are 15

33:45

years old, who will be 18 in three years. They will

33:48

be in shelters until they are 15

33:50

because they are minors, but at

33:52

18 they will be told, "Goodbye." And what

33:55

will happen to them if we don't

33:57

do the job? Because at the end of the

34:00

day, it's the church. This burden falls on

34:02

the church. It is what we have: a

34:05

compassionate heart for our neighbor.

34:10

Oh my God.

34:13

And that has happened from time to time.

34:16

What should we do? Because a young person who

34:19

lost their father, who lost their mother, who

34:21

lost their home, who lost everything,

34:24

if they don't commit suicide, will want to drown

34:27

those sorrows in alcohol and drugs.

34:30

That's for sure, and I don't want to be a prophet of

34:33

doom, but that's obvious. Now,

34:35

what do we need as a church?

34:38

We need to have wisdom and for God to

34:41

give us the grace to access the

34:44

hearts of those young people, so that God can

34:46

transform them and reveal to

34:50

them that if God left them alive it is

34:53

because God has a purpose and

34:56

a life plan for them, even if they do

34:58

not understand it. Now,

35:01

I believe that the church has to fill that gap

35:03

.

35:06

[applause]

35:07

[music]

35:08

So, the church

35:11

is going to be the answer in the coming days

35:16

for the crisis that

35:18

our nation is facing.

35:22

How does God respond in the midst of a

35:24

crisis? That's what we're talking about

35:27

now. if anyone is connecting right now

35:28

. How does God respond in the

35:31

midst of a crisis?

35:33

Now,

35:35

the most important thing

35:38

for me is not a doctrine,

35:43

but the fruit

35:46

that God wants to bring out of you and me

35:50

in a crisis, ask me, what is an

35:53

apostle?

35:56

All crises come,

35:59

no one can escape them,

36:02

but a result is sought.

36:06

And what is the result?

36:09

Strengthen our character,

36:14

because that is God's purpose.

36:18

Someone told me yesterday, one of the

36:20

legends told me, "Wow, I'm going through

36:24

a very tough time at home."

36:26

He's a recent graduate. He, from the

36:29

litter we were in last month, I think that

36:31

was in May,

36:35

something happened to me at home that in another

36:37

time I would have been

36:41

cursing [music]

36:42

in a conflict,

36:45

but the mountain process

36:49

forged a character in me that now I have to bring out

36:52

.

36:55

So, I understand

36:57

that the pressure of the crisis,

37:00

the pressure of chaos,

37:04

has a purpose,

37:07

and that is to strengthen our character.

37:10

Now, if you don't understand this,

37:14

oh my God, I'll keep talking because I see you very, very

37:16

quietly.

37:21

They are receiving something.

37:24

The crisis is not here to destroy you,

37:26

because if you didn't die

37:29

in the earthquake and God is allowing

37:32

you to go through and see everything you are

37:34

seeing, it's because he wants to make a

37:37

better version of you and me.

37:43

That is what God wants. [applause]

37:46

[music]

37:48

Look,

37:51

for example,

37:53

I, since I am a visual person,

37:57

I imagine the pastor, my wife,

38:01

she was in the Caribbean ground zero.

38:03

What does ground zero mean? Ground

38:06

zero is where it all began, where

38:10

the first damage occurred. That's ground zero.

38:13

She was at the epicenter of the

38:15

Caribbean ground zero. There are two epicenters,

38:18

Caribe and Catealamar. She was in the

38:20

Caribbean,

38:23

but by minutes, a difference of minutes,

38:26

the girls were not on the beach in

38:28

the water.

38:31

40 girls and 10 leaders. They

38:36

put them in one by one, they

38:38

fix them all. They are preparing

38:41

to start

38:43

and two leaders were left out. One was

38:46

Natalie and the other was Bell.

38:48

The earthquake knocked Natalie off her feet, and

38:53

to prevent Ameli from getting hurt, she

38:55

put her shoulder out and fell on her shoulder.

38:58

And Natalie tells me that the land was

39:01

like a wild colt. The earth formed

39:04

a sheet and swayed her, and

39:06

she hit her shoulder to protect

39:08

Melí. Awesome. And the other one is

39:11

Virbell, and his wife José Leal was also

39:13

injured. The shepherdess had to be

39:16

rescued because the swaying of the bus almost

39:19

knocked her off. She grabbed on with one

39:21

arm and they grabbed her with the other.

39:24

Everything was live and direct.

39:27

But what do I see? They could

39:32

all have panicked,

39:35

but my wife tells me that when it

39:37

all happened she started sweating, her

39:39

attention slowed down, [music] but in the moment of

39:41

crisis she was telling the girls,

39:43

"Close your eyes, it's in your head,

39:46

we're going to get out of here." And she was

39:47

giving direction to the choir,

39:50

that is, her inner character came out

39:53

at the moment of maximum pressure

39:56

.

39:59

She says, "After the pressure, I

40:00

cried." I would have cried too.

40:04

But at the moment when

40:07

a voice was needed to give direction,

40:10

she told me, "Daddy, I saw how

40:12

all the buildings were destroyed because later we went to see

40:14

Apostle Lombana.

40:17

She was 300 meters from the church. Look,

40:20

it's so impressive. I'm going to make a

40:22

brief aside here, because all this over here

40:24

was destroyed, and all this over there was

40:27

destroyed. And in 3 kilometers of destruction, the

40:30

church was left standing upside down

40:34

.

40:37

She told me, "Daddy, I was here."

40:40

We went and saw, I don't know if you know what they're called

40:43

or if that's what they're called. I knew them from when I was a

40:46

kid as mosaics. They're like

40:48

bricks that they put on the floor like this,

40:50

right? Like a puzzle

40:53

from that beach. That's how violent the

40:56

earthquake was, that all of that was lifted

41:00

up as if they had been smashed with

41:03

hammers, with sledgehammers.

41:06

That's where the

41:08

wax separated, 60 centimeters.

41:12

The truck, someone who

41:13

was there says they saw a hand because

41:16

the truck was swaying like it was about to

41:18

tip over,

41:20

and they saw a hand. Two hands that adjusted the

41:22

truck and straightened it out.

41:25

What do I understand from all that? Everything I

41:27

'm talking about. There was an answer

41:30

from God.

41:32

I know that those girls, in 10 years,

41:34

5 years, the youngest Mel when she's 15

41:38

, they're going to say, "I was in the

41:40

earthquake 10 years ago, where

41:43

thousands of people died, but

41:47

God protected me."

41:53

[applause]

41:57

[music]

41:59

And to conclude,

42:03

God answers in the midst of the crisis

42:07

, but in his time, not in my

42:11

time. Say with me, your time.

42:14

Their time,

42:15

not my time.

42:16

Not my time.

42:17

Their time,

42:18

their time,

42:19

not my time.

42:20

Not my time.

42:21

Tell him with me. Your time.

42:23

Your time.

42:24

Not my time.

42:25

Not my time.

42:27

Say it again. Say, "Your time,

42:29

your time.

42:30

Not my time.

42:31

Not my time."

42:33

Look what it says here. Those who wait

42:36

on Jehovah

42:39

will renew their strength.

42:45

[applause]

42:47

[music]

42:49

Now, what is the crisis for?

42:53

to

42:54

forge,

42:56

shape and test our patience.

43:03

You don't know any people.

43:07

Oh my God, I'm going to get into

43:08

trouble. I'm

43:11

saying it here.

43:13

Well, I'm going to say what they say around here

43:16

. If you know how I get, why do you

43:18

invite me? I'm going to tell you, and I don't want

43:21

couples fighting.

43:25

You haven't noticed

43:28

that impatient people don't like to wait,

43:34

but they do like to be waited on.

43:40

Over there someone shouted loudly, hallelujah,

43:43

Jehovah speaks.

43:46

I think that in the end they didn't

43:48

hear me very well. I'm going to

43:50

repeat myself.

43:53

You haven't noticed this,

43:57

that impatient people

44:04

don't like to wait for themselves,

44:07

but they do like to be waited for.

44:12

That doesn't happen to you, does it?

44:18

Someone said, "Ah, so

44:27

now we have a crisis

44:31

to develop our patience."

44:34

Now, what will patience be?

44:38

Is it a gift?

44:41

Will he be a talent?

44:43

Or it will be a fruit.

44:46

Okay, a fruit, that's clear.

44:49

But some of you

44:52

spend your time prophesying

44:55

and you get caught up in the words of your lips

44:59

because you keep saying, if it's the

45:02

son, if it's the husband, if it's the wife. He does

45:05

this, he sucks on your teeth, he says,

45:07

"Oh, Lord, give me patience.

45:14

Now listen to what I'm going to tell you. That's why it

45:19

's the threshing floor. That's why it's

45:24

stone by stone

45:26

with you.

45:28

Because you yourself are saying to

45:30

God,

45:32

when you say, "Give me patience,"

45:35

he's going to put you in a situation that will make you

45:37

impatient.

45:39

He's going to put you with people who will try to

45:41

tame you because you yourself are

45:43

saying, "Give me patience." Ah, give me

45:46

patience. So I'm going to send you the

45:48

test so that you develop patience.

45:52

[music]

45:54

[applause]

45:55

When you understand this, [music]

46:03

look,

46:05

well, I know that my sister Sister Angel

46:08

will confirm it. Do

46:10

you know what I have

46:12

developed most in the apostolic mantle?

46:14

Ask me, which apostle?

46:19

Patience.

46:25

Look,

46:29

I

46:31

liked everything fast.

46:37

Fifteen years ago I wanted it to grow, for

46:40

the church to grow and for us to be

46:43

thousands overnight.

46:47

And my God,

46:49

the first What happened to me was that

46:52

about 70 people were saved.

46:55

Say it with me, God's answer.

47:00

And you know what God allowed me to live for?

47:05

I went into a crisis, Michael. Do you know

47:08

why? Because 70 were saved and about 67

47:11

made it to school.

47:13

And since I wanted to grow quickly, I said,

47:17

"Give me these new believers so

47:18

I can grind them down fast."

47:24

What do you think happened?

47:27

Spiritually, I killed them all

47:31

because they weren't ready.

47:34

I wanted to put a gun in their faces, I wanted to

47:37

make them preach. I wanted to

47:39

make them win, to be disciples. And those

47:41

people just wanted to be

47:43

pampered, pampered, and have their hands handed to them.

47:50

I had to ask the Lord for forgiveness

47:54

because I wasn't developed in

47:56

patience, I

47:59

wasn't ready for a megachurch,

48:05

to have a megachurch. I know there are

48:08

pastors who are watching me and seeing the

48:10

results now and saying, "Wow, glory to

48:13

God." "The apostle has a megachurch

48:15

."

48:19

But

48:21

someone who has a megachurch—that's why

48:23

you won't see another

48:25

pastor from a megachurch criticizing

48:27

another from a megachurch,

48:30

because they know what it's like.

48:34

And to have a church,

48:37

you have to go through many crises,

48:41

you have to go through a lot of chaos,

48:44

you have to go through a lot of suffering, a

48:46

lot of persecution,

48:49

because with those crises and that chaos,

48:51

Michael,

48:53

you learn

48:55

how to deal with human beings,

48:59

because how is God going to give you people if you

49:01

don't love them?

49:04

How is God going to give you people if you don't

49:06

respect them?

49:07

How is God going to give you people if you don't

49:09

put yourself in their shoes?

49:12

How is God going to give you [I shout] people if

49:14

you don't suffer with them? That's why

49:17

, so as not to lose my sensitivity,

49:21

every time I can I go to La Guaira and

49:23

go into the field.

49:25

I risk my health, I risk everything I

49:27

have to risk

49:30

because I

49:31

believe that's God's will, to

49:37

weep with those who weep, to

49:40

suffer with those who suffer.

49:44

I was struck on Wednesday when I went and

49:47

found a My friend, pastor,

49:53

and he said to me with tears in his eyes,

50:01

thank you for coming. It is

50:05

in these moments

50:09

that the masters are shown

50:13

.

50:18

[applause][music]

50:24

[applause]

50:24

[music]

50:31

He was telling me,

50:34

"I lost part of my church, I

50:37

lost my house, I

50:40

lost the church, I do

50:44

n't know what will become of my life."

50:47

I said to him, "Friend,

50:50

receive this word from me.

50:54

You

50:55

and your home

50:58

are in God's hands.

51:05

[music]

51:06

[applause]

51:09

And I also told him, "If God left you

51:13

alive,

51:15

it's because the purpose is not

51:16

finished."

51:19

And he said to me, "Thanks, man.

51:22

I needed to hear that."

51:25

Church, we have a leading role in

51:29

this crisis, do

51:31

n't we? To make ourselves famous. It's

51:34

to make Jesus famous.

51:39

[applause]

51:41

[music]

51:47

[applause]

51:49

Look, with this nation-building process

51:54

I have learned so much in such a short [music]

51:56

time,

51:58

that nothing escapes God. I want to

52:01

finish by explaining how

52:04

God responds in times of crisis.

52:07

In 2000,

52:11

the legendary movement began in

52:13

Venezuela,

52:15

and we all went with the purpose of having

52:18

an experience in the mountains, of

52:21

God speaking to us, of being

52:23

restored ourselves, right? Carlito,

52:25

Jan, Carlos, Rogny, Vicker,

52:29

Diker, my whole government, Danielote,

52:32

Danielito, everyone who has gone.

52:37

And it strikes me quite a bit that

52:40

Franky Graham, if I make a mistake in the

52:44

pronunciation of English, well, I'm not

52:46

going to say it in Spanish to make it

52:47

easier for me,

52:51

there's an organization, right?

52:54

that they intervene every time there is

52:56

a disaster in the world.

52:58

They have their own planes, they have

53:00

an impressive logistical system. They are the ones who

53:03

set up the mobile clinic down there in

53:05

La Guida. They, their, the

53:08

pronunciation is the good Samaritan. In

53:11

English [music], how do you say it in

53:12

English, Miguel Ángel?

53:16

Samaritan Pus. Samaritan Pus.

53:20

They

53:22

are providing a quick response,

53:24

setting up the clinic within 48 hours, a record time.

53:29

And he, the organizer,

53:33

calls Pastor Chepe Pux, the

53:36

legendary global director.

53:39

We're talking about how God responds.

53:41

You understand, right? I

53:44

'll explain what

53:46

this is all about.

53:47

And he calls him and says, "Friend,

53:51

I can put a plane anywhere in

53:53

the world where they have more

53:55

legends,

53:57

so that the legends can go to

53:59

Venezuela and unload the plane, because they

54:02

are the people I have worked with and I

54:04

have confidence in you."

54:09

And you know what the pastor told him, we do

54:11

n't need any plane. Why is it that

54:16

you arrived so

54:18

quickly? Franklin Graham,

54:23

the leader of the organization,

54:26

tells him, "No, what happens is that

54:29

we didn't arrive,

54:31

we were already there.

54:35

[music]

54:35

[applause]

54:42

What I want to tell you with this is

54:46

that we are probably desperate

54:48

because of a crisis

54:50

and we are saying, 'Lord, come

54:52

help me.'

54:55

But God tells you,

54:57

'You are crying out for me,

55:00

but I am already there.'"

55:04

[music]

55:06

[applause]

55:09

I want to declare a word [shout]

55:11

to someone here.

55:15

We need to change the position of our hands

55:17

.

55:19

Most of us

55:22

are used to receiving,

55:26

but with this crisis

55:29

we have to [shout] change the hand of

55:31

opposition. It

55:32

is working. It's

55:34

no longer about receiving,

55:38

now we have to change our hand

55:39

[shout] position

55:42

because you and I are

55:46

God's answer in the midst [shout] of this crisis. That's why

55:50

God left you alive. That's why

55:53

God left you alive.

55:56

[music]

55:57

The purpose of your being alive.

56:01

The purpose [shout] of my being

56:02

alive

56:05

is to testify,

56:07

is to honor [shout] God.

56:10

But the main purpose

56:14

is for you and me to become

56:20

God's answer.

56:25

Because I know

56:28

that if I raise my hand and say, "Raise your

56:31

hand,

56:33

who here has a need?" We're

56:36

all going to lift it.

56:40

But what if I told you, we can't

56:43

help everyone,

56:47

but we can make a difference?

56:50

If we all work together to

56:53

help one person,

56:55

then we help another, and

56:58

then we help another. We

57:01

cannot help everyone,

57:03

but we must

57:05

prioritize needs.

57:08

If we unite, then we can all

57:12

make a difference to one person.

57:17

One of our legendary members of my pack

57:21

lost his daughter and lost his home.

57:25

And when this revelation came to me while I was

57:28

preparing a topic for the

57:29

legends yesterday—we're about

57:32

100 in total, and about 60 came yesterday—

57:36

I said, "What if we all

57:39

agree and each contribute a little

57:42

? We send an

57:45

offering to our brother who is

57:47

not under my direct protection, but he's part of

57:49

my pack. I took it."

57:53

And if we all agree, all

57:55

the legendary ones,

57:57

and each one of us contributes a little, and we

57:59

rent him a house here in Caracas

58:01

because he's been harmed, he works in

58:03

Caracas, and we all agreed, and

58:06

that's our immediate plan for him, so that

58:10

he feels the support of the pack,

58:13

because maybe we can't help

58:16

everyone,

58:18

but we can all be the answer.

58:23

a miracle for someone.

58:26

Please raise your hand. [music]

58:31

Repeat after me. Heavenly Father, I give

58:34

thanks to you.

58:37

Those who watch me online, please

58:38

repeat. Thank you

58:41

for the opportunity

58:43

[music]

58:44

that you give me to be

58:46

alive

58:49

on this earth.

58:52

Venezuela

58:54

this season. You're

58:55

always working.

58:57

Help me, Lord.

59:00

Help me, Lord.

59:03

Responding

59:05

to this crisis [with music]

59:08

with a lot

59:10

or with a little.

59:12

Help me write an answer.

59:15

Help me change.

59:17

Help me change my

59:19

hands. position position

59:22

of stop receiving

59:24

stop receiving in order to

59:25

give now to [music] now give now to give now to give

59:28

now to give

59:32

because your word says

59:35

that it is always

59:37

better to give

59:39

than to receive it is better to

59:41

give than to receive although it is

59:45

better to give

59:48

than to receive that I cannot [music][singing]

59:50

see these

59:51

those who see me on the internet

59:54

share this message with someone

59:57

because I am sure it will change their

59:59

worldview

1:00:01

in this time of crisis the answer in the

1:00:04

midst of the crisis

1:00:07

is you.

1:00:09

You have something to give to someone in

1:00:12

the name of Jesus. Share this

1:00:15

message now. Yeah.
