O VASO PRECISA ESTAR VAZIO

Na história da viúva de Sarepta, aprendemos que Deus nem sempre nos tira imediatamente da seca, mas entra nela conosco e garante a provisão de cada dia.

Com apenas um punhado de farinha, um pouco de azeite e dois gravetos, aquela mulher decidiu confiar na Palavra do Senhor. O milagre começou quando ela entregou o pouco que tinha e manteve sua vasilha vazia diante de Deus.

Uma mensagem sobre fé, dependência, entrega e o cuidado diário de um Deus que não abandona Seus filhos no deserto.

A farinha não acabará, o azeite não faltará e, no tempo certo, voltará a chover.

Fresh the Holy Spirit.

SPEAKER_02 0:04

We love your presence. We acknowledge your presence. Thank you for your house. Thank you for your children. One more time, Lord. Fala conosco atravers. Speak to us through your word. Teach us, O God. Help grow our faith. In the name of Jesus. A few weeks ago I preached a message. A moment in Jesus' life right after he got baptized.

SPEAKER_03 0:57

And at first glance, people were excited to see him. But then of course he reads a prophecy about himself. Now wanted to throw him off a cliff.

SPEAKER_02 2:08

The Bible says Lucas 4. Let's see.

SPEAKER_03 2:52

Because the second story that made them all the way mad is in verse 25.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

It's in verse 25. Lucas 4 and 25. I have a truth to tell you. And in the widow's case, the favor goes to the Phoenicians.

SPEAKER_03 4:42

Jesus just said that out loud. And he while also saying the Spirit of the Lord is upon me.

SPEAKER_02 4:48

And that I'm here.

SPEAKER_03 4:52

And I'm with you.

SPEAKER_02 4:54

You don't get it? Let me remind you.

SPEAKER_03 4:57

Two stories you should already know about.

SPEAKER_02 5:00

I chose the Phoenicians. This really bothered them.

SPEAKER_03 5:10

And then you look at the fine prints.

SPEAKER_02 5:17

So let's go. Let me hear the pages.

SPEAKER_03 5:52

Suddenly we have the prophet Elijah. Who was king at the time?

SPEAKER_02 5:58

Rei Acabe.

SPEAKER_03 6:00

Who was his wife? A Phoenician princess. And together those two did something that no king in Israel had done before. They canceled all service unto the Lord. And transitioned it to Baal instead. Some people do some things with their faith that I find truly astonishing. Most prophets are.

SPEAKER_02 7:30

They believed he is the God of rain. Of wind.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

You will know Yahweh.

SPEAKER_02 7:47

So is it Baal?

SPEAKER_03 7:49

Starting today. It won't rain.

SPEAKER_02 7:54

On this land. The Bible says over Israel. In these years, neither rain nor dew on the grass will happen. According to my word. The Bible also says that the drought and the famine was not just on Israel.

SPEAKER_03 8:59

But the frontiers and the surrounding area. Do you know where the Sarepta of Sidon actually is? It's where she's from. Because Jezebel was public enemy number one for Elijah. And then where does God hide Elijah?

SPEAKER_02 10:42

In her hometown.

SPEAKER_03 10:53

But it's exactly in the most dangerous place that he wants to deliver you. And that's the testimony we hear the most in here. How many?

SPEAKER_02 11:12

And he is exactly in the town of his enemy.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

And he's there in the hometown of his biggest enemy. He rises up and he goes to Sarepha.

SPEAKER_02 11:26

When he gets to the city, he sees a woman gathering wood. Now back then the fact that someone was gathering wood is because he possibly started serving something.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

A servant is gathering wood for someone else. But let's say a person were to gather wood for themselves.

SPEAKER_02 12:05

And she was a woman, already despised for that.

SPEAKER_03 12:10

And then she was a widow. She had a son, and no group of Sozin. She didn't gather much wood. And then the relation begins, right?

SPEAKER_02 12:55

When she was to speak to the prophet, the prophet in this condible that's at her absolute worst. Could I also please have some bread?

SPEAKER_03 13:54

Could you make me some bread, please? Now she was not a believer in God's people. She was a pagan. She was of Jezebel's land.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

But as a Gentile, she said, As the Lord your God lives.

SPEAKER_03 14:18

She was part of the family, but she knew the Lord. As the Lord your God lives. I have one fistful of flour.

SPEAKER_02 14:31

One fistful of flour. Literally one hand worth.

SPEAKER_03 14:36

And one measure of oil. It's a fingertip.

SPEAKER_02 14:48

Drip on the flour. Make the dough. Put it in the flame. The Bible says, Me and my son are gonna eat this. And we'll die.

SPEAKER_03 15:11

I have some flour. And oil.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

See this?

SPEAKER_03 15:16

It's all I own in the world.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

Two sticks.

SPEAKER_03 15:20

I'm making this for me and my fellow. For my son.

SPEAKER_02 15:23

We're gonna eat and then we're gonna die.

SPEAKER_03 15:29

And she's not trying to get pity out of him. Or make him feel a certain way about her. She's just being honest. Her lifespan was measured in one fistful of flowers.

SPEAKER_02 15:48

You see this right here? This right here is all the time I got left.

SPEAKER_03 15:58

It was measured.

SPEAKER_02 16:09

You look at your bank account. I can't do it. This week shall not pass.

SPEAKER_03 16:37

You ever been in that process?

SPEAKER_02 16:42

Where every single possibility was done.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

And there's no way out.

SPEAKER_02 16:57

And the only conclusion is I have nowhere left to go.

SPEAKER_03 17:15

And you already knew it was gonna be bad news. It's over. Elijah says that phrase that is always said before the impossible happens.

SPEAKER_02 18:15

Be not afraid. The Lord brought some of you here to hear him say, don't be afraid. Some things are getting back together in your relationship with God and how you hope in him. Elias is saying, I will ensinate a segret.

SPEAKER_03 18:50

Because this is the great deception of many. So he looks at her and he says, Don't be afraid.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

Just do as I say. So make a cake. But bring it here.

SPEAKER_03 19:36

And then after that make one for you.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

And your son.

SPEAKER_03 19:42

For thus says the Lord God of Israel. The flour in your pot will not end. The oil in your jar will not run out.

SPEAKER_04 19:57

Until the day we look to the heavens. See a cloud the size of a man's hand.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

Somebody say something. How many understand this word? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. This is interesting to Deus.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

This is the interesting way that God works.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

He's not gonna take you out of the drought. Or the desert. But the word released upon her was this. But under his word. Every morning. There will be flower and oil in your house.

SPEAKER_04 21:04

You will find the oil and the flowers.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

Keep the jars empty. That's the problem. Jesus looks at this and the problem.

SPEAKER_04 21:19

That's the problem.

SPEAKER_02 21:22

You never let the jar go empty. You try to fill it up when you control the rhythm. Control everything.

SPEAKER_04 21:31

You're never empty.

SPEAKER_02 21:34

God can only fill up what is empty. Does anyone understand that?

SPEAKER_03 21:46

Well, Pastor, you know it's a bit of flour, it's a little oil.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

But it comes from the Lord. It comes from the Lord.

SPEAKER_03 21:59

What is God's response? To you and to me. The face is empty.

SPEAKER_02 22:04

And you are hungry. The jar is empty. And you are hungry. These are the perfect conditions for the Lord to show up.

SPEAKER_03 22:15

Do you know what Sarepta means?

SPEAKER_02 22:16

Sarepta significa a look.

SPEAKER_03 22:19

It means place where there is fire.

SPEAKER_02 22:21

Sarepta is a fornallia. A furnace. It is a furnace. It's exactly there where she is. And as you say, why the furnace? It is where gold is purified. So he placed the gold metals.

SPEAKER_03 22:48

Pastor, it's still burning.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

It's still burning. So maybe you're not all that pure yet. But what of the furnace?

SPEAKER_03 23:03

God doesn't take you out of the furnace. He steps into it with you.

SPEAKER_02 23:09

He walks in with you.

SPEAKER_03 23:13

And guarantees your daily portion.

SPEAKER_02 23:20

We are in a stranger's land. Lord, where am I right now?

SPEAKER_03 23:42

And they could all end and die right now. What is this place?

SPEAKER_02 23:47

It is where the Lord wants to show you something. Quit faking faith. Be authentic in your faith. Present your Senate.

SPEAKER_03 24:12

This is all I got. Tomorrow there's nothing. But it's better in your hands.

SPEAKER_02 24:18

Peg my coat. Take all my wings. She gave what she had. Trusting in the word of the man of the Lord. She was a stranger.

SPEAKER_03 24:37

So she couldn't even perform.

SPEAKER_02 24:39

She was genuine. You understand this word? Fech those eyes a little bit. Close your eyes for a moment. Put a right hand on your heart. I don't know how your last couple of days have been. That place. But the door.

SPEAKER_03 25:10

Welcome to the place where God is revealed.

SPEAKER_02 25:14

God shows himself. So stop faking faith. I'm not here to give you emotion. But the scene may go long. The desert may be longer. But the one who is longer than the one who is lord of your love.

SPEAKER_04 25:45

You have all the house.

SPEAKER_03 26:04

Six months of the bottom.

SPEAKER_02 26:31

Who receives this word in the name of Jesus?

SPEAKER_03 26:35

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

SPEAKER_02 26:38

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Fique de pé comigo in name de Jesus. I want you to praise the Lord with me. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Because this is the word of the Lord. The same God. It's been many years. It's okay. There is better flower from him than prosperity from anywhere else.

SPEAKER_04 27:26

He said every day you will have flower admirable.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

Adore Seyous. Listen. I want to pray with some of you. You hearing this word. I want to give you a moment to leave your seats. Who am I talking to? Let's say you got here today. Counting two sticks. Counting two sticks. This is all I got. From here on out, I'm done. This is all I got. You're counting the sticks. Running on crumbs just to stand. Silenciosamente You've already silently.

SPEAKER_03 29:25

You don't know how to say it.

SPEAKER_02 29:28

Because you're concluding that the dream is dead.

SPEAKER_03 29:32

Quiet quitting the dream.

SPEAKER_02 29:34

I gotta be honest. The woman said it. This is my last meal. I need to pray for you if you feel like that. Because the same God is going home with you today. The God of this word.

SPEAKER_03 30:04

Come forward, let's pray together.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

If the Lord does not stop the drought, He'll step into it with you. And nothing will lack. There will come a time of rain. Upon your home and upon your family. We pray for all your children. Before the altar now.

SPEAKER_03 32:04

Just as you live, Lord.

SPEAKER_02 32:07

The God of Israel. The Almighty God. Father in the name of Jesus. We are praying now, Lord. For every day and every morning. You will supply their feet. You will visit their homes. Let no flower lack. Let no oil lack. Father in the name of Jesus. We thank you for teaching us. To be empty before you, Lord. For only then do you feel usually? For only then do you feel a man? So Father in the name of Jesus. We release this word upon your children now. That the rain would come until the season of rain return. God of provision. God of provision. In your name, Lord. Go home with your children now. Step into their drought. Step into their desert. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Those of you at the front, you may stand. Receive this word over your life. The favor of the Lord deserving. But who is empty to receive fome? How many of us can praise the Lord for this word? You may be seated. Last week, a young man spoke to me. And there's a young man who works with me. He doesn't even go to our church. And he keeps telling me about all the Lord's blessings in his life. And I said, How'd you get that? And all he could say was, I believe in God.

SPEAKER_03 34:46

I don't go to church as often as well.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

And I said, Well, it left from Israel and it went to the Gentiles. And went to Syria. Sometimes there's so much faith outside of rituals. If God can attend to the stranger and care for the outsider, what won't he do for you? Who dwells in his house? With fear of the Lord in your heart. Pastor, but it's just a little bit. How many receives this word?
