In Matthew 5.

SPEAKER_02 0:19

And Mateo 5.

SPEAKER_01 0:21

And we want to read verse 13 through 16. Jesus says, You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out to be trodden under the foot of men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick. And it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light therefore shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven. And you are the light of the world. Not I will be. I am. You are. Amen. Say it out loud, say I am. Amen. I am right now. Oh hallelujah. No, there's a reason that Jesus uses these two illustrations. The salt of the earth. Jesus says we are the salt of the earth. In other words, there's no other salt for the earth except the believer. Now listen, that doesn't make us abrasive. It doesn't make us uh hard on people. Amen. Many people can't witness to others because they're not nice. But we're salt nonetheless. He said we are.

SPEAKER_02 3:43

When this was written, was so valuable.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

It was used to pay wages. Roman soldiers would receive their pay in salt. Wars, at least four wars that I found were fought over salt. Because at this time, there was no refrigeration. There was no way to keep food from spoiling. You couldn't just go down and buy ice. No refrigerator. But salt had the ability to preserve and prevent decay.

SPEAKER_02 4:50

So if you wanted something preserved, you would pack it in salt.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

And the salt would prevent decay.

SPEAKER_02 5:05

So Jesus is not saying that the church has lost its potency. If believers must influence people in the earth, it cannot be done any other way.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

If the non-believer is going to be influenced, it has to happen through a believer. Oh, hallelujah. Do you see this? You know, many say the world's in such a bad state. The world has always been in a bad state. Sin has always been the problem. Jesus has always been the end. It's no different. We have to recognize that. We can't sit and talk about how bad the world is. My family, listen, there have been there have been spirits unleashed on the earth. Spirits that have been changed. That in these last days have been released. Things are more vile now than they've ever been. And right in the middle of that wickedness. Right in the middle of that horrible time. God says the answer to pack the earth with the salt of the earth is llenar la terra con la sal so that they can prevent decay. So he sees the godlessness. The decay of sin.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

Every time you witness on your job, you're pushing back the decay.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

You're preserving that life. Oh, hallelujah. You don't have to turn there. But 2 Peter 2.5 says that Noah was a preacher of righteousness. A proclaimer of righteousness.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

The Bible doesn't tell that the job.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

But we know that at least for 120 years. He preached righteousness. And isn't it interesting? That the judgment of God was not poured out on the earth. Until the righteous was taken out.

SPEAKER_02 8:28

So what was happening? Is being held back until God saw.

SPEAKER_01 8:47

They don't want to listen.

SPEAKER_02 8:50

They don't want to hear it.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

And that's when he said, Come into the ark. And he shut the door. The day is coming.

SPEAKER_02 9:04

When God will say, I'm finished. They don't want to listen. They don't want to hear it.

SPEAKER_01 9:13

And the rapture of the church. The tribulation period begins. Amen.

SPEAKER_02 9:22

Because those that are the souls of the earth are gone.

SPEAKER_01 9:30

You are helping keep the wickedness out of your family. Because you are the salt of the earth.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

You are.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

Say I am. The salt of the earth. So I'm not just a believer. I'm an instrument in the hand of God to minister deliverance to people in my life. Oh, Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

Oh, Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

Every time you pray for your family, you're pushing back the decay. Every time you go in your child's room at night and lay hands on them and pray for them. I pray for everybody's children. I pray for your children. But I really pray for my children. I'm in charge of that. I know it sounds funny. I go through my house and I anoint every doorpost in my house. You are not welcome here, devil. The plan is not welcomed here. I don't care what goes on around us. No decay can enter here. We see that. See, that's you anointing your child's door with oil. This child will serve God.

SPEAKER_02 11:42

This child will be blessed. Oh, hallelujah. Oh hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

What are you doing? You're pushing back the decay. I'm not just a parent, I'm a believer. I'm a believing parent. I know that I have weapons that are stronger than my natural ability. See, salt doesn't give up. Amen. That child, that person, that relative may not want to serve God. But notice here's you. You're on your knees. God sent laborers into their pathway. God minister to them today. Lord, they might not listen to me.

SPEAKER_02 12:56

Why?

SPEAKER_01 12:57

Because I'm the salt of my life.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Do you see this? Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 13:11

Every time you stand for right, you're pushing back the decay.

SPEAKER_01 13:23

I remember one time I was I was a much younger man. Maybe 19. And I worked for a grocery distributor.

SPEAKER_02 13:38

A grocery warehouse that took groceries to uh uh supermarkets a loss and uh we've gotten a new contract and they they brought in new trucks and my job was to load the trucks I had some some people we all worked together and I don't know why, but some of these young men decided to write uh really bad things on the walls of the truck. And I saw them in the communes yolos me as about a week later, the head man called us in.

SPEAKER_01 14:33

One by one, and he asked, Do you know who did this? Everybody said no. Except me. I said, Yes, I know. It was this young man. I saw him do it. Now here's what people say. I've heard Christians say that. Well, you don't want to tell on people. I've had Christians look at me and say, nobody likes a snitch. Christians. So am I supposed to lie? You know, you go to hell for lying. And I'm not gonna go to hell for nobody. So I didn't care what people thought. There's times that you stand for God against what everybody else thinks. God's idea of manhood.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

Is you tell the truth if it costs you tell the truth if it cost you friends.

SPEAKER_01 16:03

You swear to your own hurt. And you do not lie and so I left the meeting. And of course, there was only one person in that group that told the truth. All of them had agreed to lie. So this one guy sent his big brother to talk to me. And I mean he was big. I mean his ears had muscles. And he came. And he threatened me. And he said, Now you know that he didn't do that. Now you gotta understand something. The Bible says the righteous are bold as a lion. And remember, this was uh, oh my goodness. I may have weighed 130 pounds. I stepped right up to him. I looked him in the eyes. I got this close to him. And I said he did do it. And no matter what you do to me, it's not gonna change the fact that he did it. Well, he didn't know what to do. You can't scare Saul. This is why we're here. You understand? You you just you're just that's who you are. Oh hallelujah!

SPEAKER_02 18:09

Oh, hallelujah!

SPEAKER_01 18:11

And you're pushing back the darkness. Because that's what God has done. And he packs it with salt. Oh, hallelujah! Everywhere you go, you're salt. When you're sitting at the restaurant, you're salt. When you're driving down the highway, you're salt. You're the preservative in the earth. Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 18:49

Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 18:54

Gracias, Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Look at Mark 16. In Mark 16. In Marcos 16, and uh verse 15, it says, go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not will be condemned. Now our job is to go into all the world. Every man's world. Amen. The world is a reference to people. When Jesus references the world, it's not this planet, it's the people. That means to proclaim. The gospel. Well, what is the gospel? Jesus Christ and him crucified. That's the gospel. He paid the price you owed. So that you would not have to suffer punishment. That's the gospel. Go and preach that Jesus is the only way to the Father.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

No other way.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Jesus said, if you don't come through me, there's no way to God. Not Buddha.

SPEAKER_02 20:57

No Buddha. Not Muhammad. No Mohammed.

SPEAKER_01 21:01

Not Mary.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

No Maria.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

Not one of the saints. Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 21:06

Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

That's it.

SPEAKER_02 21:11

It's todo.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

Amen.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 21:13

That is the gospel. That's good news.

SPEAKER_02 21:18

Son buenas noticias.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

Hallelujah. And notice he said, you need to go preach that. See, we have things backwards. When we start talking to people about how God will fix all their problems. We need to make sure they miss hell first. Let's make sure you're saved first. Then we can talk about how God will save you and fix your problem. Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 22:04

Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

Do you see that? Because see, everybody under the sound of my voice and watch it online, every one of us had this problem. We were going to hell. We were lost. We did not know Jesus. No matter how big or small of a sinner you were. I was saved when I was eight. But I was still going to hell. How much sin can you do at eight?

SPEAKER_02 22:46

Not very much.

SPEAKER_01 22:48

But I was still lost. The Holy Spirit still convicted my heart. And in Houston, Texas. I heard a man preach that Jesus was the answer.

SPEAKER_02 23:12

I looked at my mother and said, I need to be saved. And that night I was born again.

SPEAKER_01 23:20

Amen. But here's the thing. If you didn't get saved till you were 20.

SPEAKER_02 23:28

Or 30.

SPEAKER_01 23:29

Maybe you did a lot of what people call big sin. But you know what? Listen. But what is a big sin? Oh, you know, lying, adultery, murder. No one is going to hell because they committed adultery. No one is going to hell because they committed adultery. You go to hell because you don't receive Jesus. And if you have been an adulterer, Jesus will forgive you. God does not grade sin on. Am I helping you? God doesn't grade sin on a curve. He doesn't say this adultery, this boy, this is really bad. And this just kind of shading the truth, that isn't very bad. He looks at all sin the same. The ground around the cross is level. Nobody has higher ground. Nobody has lower ground.

SPEAKER_02 24:52

It's all the same.

SPEAKER_01 24:54

And that's why he said, whoever.

SPEAKER_02 24:58

Liar. Murderer.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Adulterer.

SPEAKER_02 25:04

Anybody that will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

SPEAKER_01 25:13

Hallelujah. This is so important.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

So he said you need to go and preach the good news.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

Amen. Now those that we preach to have have a responsibility.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

He that believeth shall be saved.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

Hallelujah. They gotta believe. Gotta believe what? That Jesus is the only camino. Oh, hallelujah. And what will happen? They'll be saved. This means delivered from judgment. Every person that's not born again will one day stand before the judge of all the earth. And they will give an account for their life. If they're not born again. You and I that are born again. If you're born again, we don't stand before judgment. We stand before a loving heavenly father. That will receive us into his presence. What the scripture said. It says that for the believer they hear these words.

SPEAKER_02 26:43

Well done.

SPEAKER_01 26:45

Good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord. But he said there were some that would show up. And he says, Depart from me, I never knew you. Why? You never made me your Lord. That Jesus died. That he rose again. And he's alive today. And that may be something that you know we know, we've experienced that. But this is what salt does. Hallelujah. If it's the good news, it could be the best news anybody's ever heard. Then he said that there will be those that do not believe. And that they would be condemned. Now notice. Sentenced.

SPEAKER_02 27:57

Sentenciados.

SPEAKER_01 27:59

Worthy of judgment. So what does that mean for us as believers? We're not worthy of judgment. We've been judged in Christ. He took our judgment for us. That every time I hear that, that just makes me want to run to the altar and thank God all over again. I've already been judged righteous.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

I've already been judged holy by the righteous judge of all the earth.

SPEAKER_01 28:45

And I want other people to enter into that. I want my friends and family to enter into that. I want my neighbor to enter into that. Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 29:00

But he said there will be some that now here's what you cannot escape.

SPEAKER_01 29:12

Some people are not going to believe what you say. They're just not. There's nothing you can do about it. Except pray. Pray for them. Pray that they'll encounter someone they'll receive. But there are people that eventually God will tell you to quit talking to them. They're not listening. And he said, don't take what is precious. And give it to people that don't care about it. Amen. Hallelujah. A neighbor of ours one time had a brand new truck. And one day I heard banging. Like boom, boom. And I went around the truck.

SPEAKER_02 30:13

And there was his son with a hammer.

SPEAKER_01 30:17

Hitting his truck. Brand new truck. I went and got my dad. I said, my friend is hitting his dad's truck. He went and got his dad. And his dad said, that's just a work truck. Okay. You don't care what I have to say. You have no honor for this. He said what happens is when you share the word with people that don't want to hear it. It's like a pig.

SPEAKER_02 31:08

It's como un cerdo, un marrano.

SPEAKER_01 31:13

Trampling pearls in the mud. It's that precious. Tell everybody.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

Díganle a todos.

SPEAKER_01 31:25

Tell everyone you know.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

Díganle a todos los que conocen.

SPEAKER_01 31:30

But realize everybody's not going to receive it. Jesus said, narrow is the gate that leads to life.

SPEAKER_02 31:48

That means that relatively few people will believe what's being said.

SPEAKER_01 31:59

But they they will believe. See, this is the importance of what we're doing. The eternity is at stake.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

Every person you know and every person I know will spend eternity somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

Eternity. Those that do not believe, it's eternal separation from God. See, those statements are not pressure. I believe we need to be led by the Spirit where we go, who we talk to. But I also believe if I'm listening, the Spirit will tell me to minister to almost everybody I see. So it's not pressure. It's the importance of being salt. That's my responsibility. In Matthew 5, back in Matthew 5. Am I helping you today? Matthew 5. And uh let's look at he said in verse 13, we're the light of the world. And notice a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. He said in verse 15, neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light therefore shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven. In other words, there's no other light in the world but us. But he's in heaven now. So he said you're the light of the world. You're the light of the world. And he said, because you're light. You're like a city set on a hill. Amen. Now that's not as big of a thing as it would have been then. There were no street lights. Almost anywhere you go in the United States, especially to a town, there's lights everywhere. And so there's very few dark places.

SPEAKER_02 36:02

In this day, a city set on a hill would have been full of light.

SPEAKER_01 36:14

It could not be hidden. In other words, Jesus is saying As we live our lives, people can't help but see we're light. Say out loud, I am light. And see, on your job you're light.

SPEAKER_02 36:43

And as you let your light shine, people will see it.

SPEAKER_01 36:50

Hallelujah. And it's not necessarily because you're you're saying something about Jesus, it's just how you live your life.

SPEAKER_02 37:04

You have peace.

SPEAKER_01 37:06

You're nice. You have integrity. You honor your employer. And people recognize that. I've had people tell me there's just something different about you. You don't talk like everybody else. Well, here's the difference. Jesus. See, I'm but but notice my life was just light. Amen. And so he says, you are this. And then he said, Let your light shine before men. Amen. In other words, I have to purposely cover up the light that I have. If it's not to shine, I have to cover it up. He said, let it shine. We're to put the light on display. Put the light in a place that everybody can see it. Oh hallelujah. Amen. And he said, what happens then is it lights the entire house. All throughout the four gospels. Jesus equated a house with a man's life. He said, the man that hears my word and doesn't do it.

SPEAKER_02 39:13

Built a house on the sand.

SPEAKER_01 39:20

So the house represents his life. And what did he say? He said the storms came. And that house fell. But he said, here's the man that hears my word and does it.

SPEAKER_02 39:40

He built the house on the rock.

SPEAKER_01 39:44

And the same wind came. The same storm. So the house was representative of their life. He said when you put the light on a candlestick. Everybody in your life will see it. And all I have to do is put it on the candlestick. I don't even have to run around telling everybody I'm a Christian. You know, it's easy to tell the difference between darkness and light. When light comes in, the darkness backs up. Oh, hallelujah. So don't think it's strange that some people don't want anything to do with you. You are light. And they are dark. And Jesus said, here's the problem. He said, light came into the world. And men love darkness. So there are people that want the darkness more than the light. And he said, because here's why. To come to the light. Your deeds will be exposed. You come into the light. And everything that's going on will be exposed. Then what happens? Then you deal with it. So if people want to be in darkness, they're going to stay away from you. And Jesus said, don't think that's strange. I've had family members tell me we're not going to come around anymore. Well, it's not because we did anything wrong. Because we're light. Well, there's two reasons. Number one, they knew I wouldn't come. And number two, they wanted to do their darkness in the dark. The things they wanted to do, they wanted to do without the light being there. I had a family member one time. This is still funny to me. It was my wife's birthday. And they sent her a bottle of wine. And then came over to the house to find out what we did with it. We poured it out. Why did you do that?

SPEAKER_02 43:21

We don't drink. We're Christians. Somos Christianos.

SPEAKER_01 43:36

Right?

SPEAKER_02 43:37

Correct.

SPEAKER_01 43:38

Oh well, I thought uh I thought that at least you know you would have a little sip because I got it for you. Let me ask you a question. If I uh made you a wonderful chocolate cake. And I brought it to you. And I said, I made this cake for you. And I used uh milk and eggs and sugar.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

Use leche, we chocolate.

SPEAKER_01 44:15

And just a little calamole. Just a little. You don't even know where it's at, it's mixed in. Would you eat that cake? I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't. Do you understand? I don't even want a little bit of darkness. I've been delivered from darkness.

SPEAKER_02 44:55

And brought into the light of the gospel.

SPEAKER_01 45:01

Do you see that? So don't get offended. Don't get your feelings hurt. Darkness doesn't want light around them. And you're letting your light shine.

SPEAKER_02 45:18

You're never going to be darkness. Because you're light.

SPEAKER_01 45:23

That's what you are.

SPEAKER_02 45:25

Everywhere you go, the light.

SPEAKER_01 45:29

Everywhere you go, your light shines. And you make darkness uncomfortable. I can't get comfortable with darkness. Because I'm light. Now I know that sounds simple. But that's why we're here. Everywhere we go, the light shines. Everywhere we go, somebody goes, Oh, they're a Christian. Before I was full-time in the ministry. There'd be people on my job. That would say, Well, should we invite Philip? No, no, he's a Christian. And I've had people say, didn't that make you feel left out?

SPEAKER_02 46:29

No.

SPEAKER_01 46:30

I was light. They wanted to do something in the darkness. They didn't want light around. Your very presence in some people's lives convicts them. That's why they push you away or hold you at arm's length. Jesus said when that happens, rejoice. Oh, hallelujah. Do you see this? See, the brotherhood of Christ.

SPEAKER_02 47:12

The family of God is here.

SPEAKER_01 47:18

The world is not the family of God. God is not the father of the world. He created the world.

SPEAKER_02 47:28

But he's not their father.

SPEAKER_01 47:34

You're my brother.

SPEAKER_02 47:36

You're my sister.

SPEAKER_01 47:39

My greatest relationships should be people in the church. Because that's who I relate to. I will witness to the sinner. But I don't relate with the sinner. I'm not a sinner.

SPEAKER_02 48:02

I'm salt and light.

SPEAKER_01 48:07

The sinner's not my brother. You're my brother. Because we have the same father. The same blood runs through us. And so that's why your race doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where you're from. When you become born again, God's your father. And I'm your brother. And we're all light. And again, I understand that this is simple. But that's always been the dividing line. Are you willing to be light and salt? Push back the decay. Bring light to the darkness. That's the challenge. And understand that some parts of darkness don't want that. Hallelujah. Let your light shine. In front of. In the sight of men. And what will be the result? People will see our good works. And glorify our Father which is in heaven. They'll see our good works. Well, you know, good works are not just, they're not legalistic things. They'll see my good works. They'll see the honor I have for people. They'll see the love I have for people. They'll see God at work in my marriage. They'll see God in my relationship.

SPEAKER_02 50:17

Oh, hallelujah. And I'm letting my light shine.

SPEAKER_01 50:22

Amen. You know, if you're light, you can't help but for people to see it. You know, I had a man one time. He was from El Salvador.

SPEAKER_02 50:41

And he explained to me that different Hispanic dialects have an accent.

SPEAKER_01 50:56

I can't tell. I was not born Hispanic. I'm working on being there as fast as I can. Right? But I've talked to people and they'll say, no, they're not from here, they're from the south. Well, how can you tell? They can't hide it. Mariano es de Guatemala.

SPEAKER_02 51:32

Mariano is de Guatemala.

SPEAKER_01 51:33

There's no way to hide it. If you know. See, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 51:40

Yo no sé.

SPEAKER_01 51:42

If I hear you speaking Spanish and I hear him speaking Spanish, I just think it's Spanish. Amen.

SPEAKER_02 51:56

But I had a group one time of Hispanic folk.

SPEAKER_01 52:02

This group didn't like this group. Because of how they spoke. Where they were from. Made no sense to me. Now they do this and they're blah blah blah. Couldn't hide it. I'm light. I'm just light. I can't hide it. Everywhere I go, light shows up. And where you go, light shows up. Your neighbor says there's just something about them. There's something different about them. What is light?

SPEAKER_02 52:46

Luz.

SPEAKER_01 52:48

That's me. Hallelujah. And he said the result is that they would see our good works, notice, and glorify our heavenly Father. That word glorify it means to honor or to glorify. So by seeing what God has done for us, they will honor and glorify God. See, just let your light shine. The best thing we can do is just tell people what Jesus did for us. Just tell them what Jesus did for you. Three times in Paul's writings. He recounted what Jesus did for him. When the man that was full of demons, and Jesus set him free. It says he got in the boat and said, I want to go with you. And Jesus said, No, go home. And tell people what great things God has done for you. He shows you mercy. How's God worked in your life? And just tell people that.

SPEAKER_02 54:37

And what will happen?

SPEAKER_01 54:40

They'll see the good works of God in your life. And they'll glorify God. I remember one time. We had a neighbor when we lived in Kansas. And her daughter always would go to our church. And got saved going to our church. And one night my wife and I were leaving. And we were actually going to teach him a marriage seminar. And our neighbor came out and said, I'm so glad I saw you come out. I need to talk to you. We said, okay, she brought us over to her house. And brought us down in the basement. And began to talk to us. And the basis of her conversation was this. I see something in your life. I need to know what it is. And I was able to just share the gospel with her. And she got saved in her basement. We never went and knocked on her door. We just lived our life. We were nice. We would ask them if there's anything we could pray with them about.

SPEAKER_02 56:15

When I have a repair man at my house, before they leave, I always ask them.

Can I pray with you about something? I don't always tell them I'm a pastor, I just say I'm a believer. Can I pray with you? Sometimes they say, well, you know, there's nothing really I need to pray about. Well, can I pray for you then? Look, you came to the house of the light. I want to impact your life. Oh, hallelujah. I'm not bragging on me, I'm telling you, I've learned how to just let my light shine. No.

SPEAKER_02 57:11

No.

SPEAKER_01 57:11

Well, you've heard no before. I would be embarrassed. About sharing the gospel? You can change this. Somebody shared it with you.

SPEAKER_02 57:30

Whether it was in a church, on the street corner.

SPEAKER_01 57:36

Somebody shared it. And it changed your life. Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 57:42

Oh, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 57:43

Do you see that?

SPEAKER_02 57:45

When we moved into our home, we hired some young men to help us.

SPEAKER_01 57:54

Oh, and they worked so hard. And so they were done and they were getting ready to leave. I had to go minister at a conference that night. And I got them all in a circle. Maybe 20 years old, all of them. And you know, sometimes when people are moving, you know, you hear them talk. Then you hear words they shouldn't say. Right? So you know, you know, they're not where they need to be with Christ. So stand in my garage. First of all, I gave them all a tip. Thank you for helping us today. And then I got them in a circle and I said, look, I'm a pastor. I want to know if I can pray with you. You know, they all stopped. Took their hats off. Yes, Pastor, you can pray with us. I started praying. And then, you know, in the middle of that prayer, you know what I said? Jesus, Señor, thank you for saving me.

SPEAKER_02 59:17

Gracias por salvar me.

SPEAKER_01 59:19

Saving me from my sin. In Jesus' name. Amen. I didn't need to ask if they needed to be saved. I knew they needed to be saved. You should have seen these young men, strong young men, wiping tears. Now let me end today. I want us to bow our heads. Let's bow our heads, let's close our eyes today. If you're watching online, I want you to bow your head, close your eyes right there where you're at. I want you to be as honest today as you can possibly be. I want you to be as honest today as if you knew you were going to stand at the judgment seat tomorrow. Answer this question. Are you where you need to be with God? Is your life his? Are you living for Christ? Because at the end of our life, my brother, my sister, the only thing that matters is what I've done with Christ. And while you're thinking on that and you're pondering that question. In a moment I'm simply going to count to three. And this is for those here and those watching online. And by the time I reach three, if you're not sure you are where you need to be with God, your hand should be in the air and you should be making that acknowledgement. We're starting now, we're counting with one. Today is the day. We're going to two, two. We're going to three. If you're not sure, you're absolutely you're not sure, your hand should be in the air. God bless you. Thank you for that hand. God bless you. God bless you. Hallelujah. If you're not sure, if you if you think you should have raised your hand and you didn't, the time is upon you. That relationship's not going to fix itself. You're not going to find peace on your own. You've got to have help. And Jesus is here today. God bless you. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you. Thank you, Jesus. Gracias. Now let's make a decision today. Especially those that raise your hand. I want everyone to pray this with me out loud today. If you're watching online, please pray this out loud wherever you're at. Say this out loud. Say, Father God. In the name of Jesus. I choose today to live my life for Jesus. I turn from darkness. And I come to the light. I receive forgiveness of my sins. And I choose to make you my Lord. Jesus is Lord.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:51

Jesus is el Señor.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:56

In Jesus' name. Now everything that you just said is between you and God. My brother, sister, you have nothing to prove to me or any other person.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:20

But as you live for Jesus, people will see the change.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:28

They'll see it. And they'll glorify God for it. Let's stand up today, shall we?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:39

Hallelujah.
