#GodGoesBefore
“God, we need you to open doors for us. God, we need you to go to doctor's office before us. God, we need you to touch our minds and our egos. God, we need you. God, there are things that we are wrestling with. And, God, as we wrestle with those things, God, we acknowledge, God, that things may not be our way, but, God, we acknowledge you as being in charge of all things. So, guess, God, just rule and abide like only you can. God, we lift up those who are sick among us. God, those who are sick at home, God. We lift up, God, even in this moment, God, those who are even sick in our presence. God, things that we can't see, things that we don't know, God, we acknowledge you that you're bigger than every sickness, every illness, every diagnosis. God, we plead the blood of Jesus over our lives. For your word says, by your stripes, we are healed.”

#SometerseAJesus
“``Déjame preguntarte esta mañana, ¿En qué área necesitas someterte a la autoridad de Jesús? ¿En qué áreas de tu vida necesitas someter tu vida? Algunas personas quieren ayuda, pero no quieren su señorío. Algunos otros quieren su consuelo, pero no sus mandamientos. Otros tenemos la tendencia a querer que él arregle nuestras circunstancias, pero nos resistimos a sus derecho de dirigir nuestras vidas. El centurión nos enseña un camino mejor. Nos enseña que si Jesús dice que perdona, perdona. Si Jesús arrepiéntete, arrepiéntete. Si Jesús dice confía, confía. Si Jesús te dice espera, espera. Es su palabra, responde a su su palabra. La fe no se limita a pedirle favores a Jesús, porque él no es una máquina expendedora de favores en donde tú pones tu moneda y sacas el favor que necesitas. La fe inclina tu vida hacia su autoridad.”

#GodGivesFirst
“Here's a question. Who's the most generous person you've ever known? Like, picture picture that for maybe it's a friend. Like, every time you go out for lunch, they always pay. Like, your money's no good here, kind of a friend. Or maybe it's a a parent. Every need, when you've had a legit need, always showing up to help with that need. Or maybe it's your spouse. You just watch them so generous with so many people, and you're like, wow. Well, I want you to think for a moment. Could it be the most generous person you've ever known? Is the person we so easily forget? God himself. God is the ultimate generous giver. Every breath you take, every heartbeat in your chest, every moment of life is a gift from an all generous God. So let's just take a moment and let's consider the astonishing generosity of God. God is the one who gives first and God gives best.”

“Let me change your thinking. Let me show you. Saul was my chosen instrument to take the message to the Gentiles, to kings, as well as to the people of Israel. Ananias, your job is to get up and go. And I'll do all the work, but share with him Jesus. And Saul Paul is gonna go and he's gonna take the message to the Gentiles. He's gonna speak before kings. He's gonna speak to the Jews. He's gonna tell everybody about Jesus, but you have to get up and go.”

#OrderOurChurch
“God, we lift up those who are sick among us. God, those who are sick at home, God. We lift up, God, even in this moment, God, those who are even sick in our presence. God, things that we can't see, things that we don't know, God, we acknowledge you that you're bigger than every sickness, every illness, every diagnosis. God, we plead the blood of Jesus over our lives. For your word says, by your stripes, we are healed. So, we lift up this church to you. God, we pray even right now, god, that you would order the life of this church. God, that you would open doors that only you could open. And, god, when those doors are open, we would be able to stand and testify that if it had not been for the Lord who was on our side, we don't know where we would be.”

#PrayForTheSick
“God, there are things that we are wrestling with. And, God, as we wrestle with those things, God, we acknowledge, God, that things may not be our way, but, God, we acknowledge you as being in charge of all things. So, guess, God, just rule and abide like only you can. God, we lift up those who are sick among us. God, those who are sick at home, God. We lift up, God, even in this moment, God, those who are even sick in our presence.

#ByHisStripes

#FeQueEscucha
“A la persona que se siente indigna, sigue confiando en su gracia. A la persona que he orado, orado y orado y nada ha cambiado. Recuerda este cinturón. Puede que Jesús no siempre responda de manera que esperamos, pero su palabra nunca llega vacía. Y déjame decirte esto con gentileza, pero con claridad. Si quieres una gran fe, no comiences intentándolo con más fuerza. Comienza escuchando mejor. Cuanto más escuches su palabra, más aprende tu corazón de su carácter. La Palabra dice que la fe viene por el oír, pero no el oír cualquier cosa. El oír la Palabra de Dios. La fe crece donde la Palabra de Dios habita en abundancia. Así que léela, escúchala, órala, créela. Cuando estés cansado, mantente firme. Cuando estás en medio de las emociones que son inestables, mantente firme ahí. Es ahí donde la fe es más fuerte.”
63s
#FeHonesta
“Muchas veces he dialogado con personas y hasta yo mismo me he visto en situaciones en donde estamos pasando por una situación bien compleja. Y cuando alguien se acerca, acerca y nos dice, ¿Cómo puedo orar por ti? Tú le nada, pues es algo pasajero, ¿No? Ayúdame por esta situación. Pero tú realmente estás en agonía. Este hombre fue sincero. Este hombre realmente trajo su necesidad. No escondió el problema. Vino a Jesús con una necesidad honesta. Y Eso es importante. ¿Sabes que? La fe no es negación. La fe no es fingir que el siervo no estaba en enfermo. La fe no es actuar como si el dolor no fuera real. La fe no es tratar de convencerte a ti mismo y a quienes te rodean de que lo que está sucediendo no está sucediendo. La fe ve el problema claramente y lo presenta a la persona adecuada.”
56s
#DependeDeCristo
“El centurión, un extraño, por su origen étnico, mostró un tipo de fe de la que carecían muchos de los que estaban adentro. Él estaba afuera. Y muchos que estaban ahí a su alrededor no tenían la fe que deberían tener. Esta es una palabra sobria para la gente de la iglesia. Mira, tú puedes conocer las canciones, tú puedes conocer el lenguaje, tú puedes conocer el horario y aún así perderte en tu corazón de confiar en Jesús. La fe no se trata de familiaridad religiosa, se trata de depender de Cristo. Depender de Él.”
