Matthew 16:21–28 ESV

21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Matthew 16:21–28 RVR60

21 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a declarar a sus discípulos que le era necesario ir a Jerusalén y padecer mucho de los ancianos, de los principales sacerdotes y de los escribas; y ser muerto, y resucitar al tercer día. 22 Entonces Pedro, tomándolo aparte, comenzó a reconvenirle, diciendo: Señor, ten compasión de ti; en ninguna manera esto te acontezca. 23 Pero él, volviéndose, dijo a Pedro: ¡Quítate de delante de mí, Satanás!; me eres tropiezo, porque no pones la mira en las cosas de Dios, sino en las de los hombres. 24 Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame. 25 Porque todo el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; y todo el que pierda su vida por causa de mí, la hallará. 26 Porque ¿qué aprovechará al hombre, si ganare todo el mundo, y perdiere su alma? ¿O qué recompensa dará el hombre por su alma? 27 Porque el Hijo del Hombre vendrá en la gloria de su Padre con sus ángeles, y entonces pagará a cada uno conforme a sus obras. 28 De cierto os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí, que no gustarán la muerte, hasta que hayan visto al Hijo del Hombre viniendo en su reino.

In 16.1 The pharisees and Sadducees ask him to see a sign from heaven.

But they want to “see” that sign according to earthly standards.

Jesus came to set our minds on something way more profound

There are 2 worlds who oppose each other

You walk in 2 realities

2 Corinthians 10:3 ESV

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.

2 Corinthians 10:3 RVR60

3 Pues aunque andamos en la carne, no militamos según la carne;

Ephesians 6.12 We do not Wrestle with flesh and blood

In 2016 a news article came out that in silicon valley many people began to become obsessed with the idea that we are living in two realities. Two unamed billionares employed teams of scientist to break out of this reality! Elon Musk

Verse 13: Who do “People” Say that I AM?

Verse 15: Who do “You” Say that I AM?

You choose which reality you are going to live and operate in

You Choose which frequency you will connect to!

You can see the difference between someone operating in the earthly Frequency and someone operating in the SPIRIT!

Pharisees: They were totally devoted to the exact observance of the Jewish religion. “DOCTOR of the LAW” Doctrine!

becoming active around 150 BC and enduring as a distinct party until being subsumed into the Rabbinic movement around 135 AD.

The Pharisee spirit:

Questioned Jesus

Questioned the move of GOD

Always asking Why

Wanting proof, signs that they can see,

Wanting it to make sense in their minds

This is not how we have always done it!

Strongly observe the tradition of man.

Looking to entrap Jesus with his words (Manipulation of speech)

But Jesus calls them out and says “Brood of Vipers” “Generacion de viboras”

Luke 18:9–14 ESV

9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Luke 18:9–14 RVR60

9 A unos que confiaban en sí mismos como justos, y menospreciaban a los otros, dijo también esta parábola: 10 Dos hombres subieron al templo a orar: uno era fariseo, y el otro publicano. 11 El fariseo, puesto en pie, oraba consigo mismo de esta manera: Dios, te doy gracias porque no soy como los otros hombres, ladrones, injustos, adúlteros, ni aun como este publicano; 12 ayuno dos veces a la semana, doy diezmos de todo lo que gano. 13 Mas el publicano, estando lejos, no quería ni aun alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que se golpeaba el pecho, diciendo: Dios, sé propicio a mí, pecador. 14 Os digo que éste descendió a su casa justificado antes que el otro; porque cualquiera que se enaltece, será humillado; y el que se humilla será enaltecido.

The pharisee spirit says “Them, They”

But when you are connected and walking in the HOLY SPIRIT: You say: Change ME, Seek MY Heart, Try with ME, Change ME!

Psalm 51:1–12 ESV

1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Psalm 51:1–12 RVR60

1 Ten piedad de mí, oh Dios, conforme a tu misericordia; Conforme a la multitud de tus piedades borra mis rebeliones. 2 Lávame más y más de mi maldad, Y límpiame de mi pecado. 3 Porque yo reconozco mis rebeliones, Y mi pecado está siempre delante de mí. 4 Contra ti, contra ti solo he pecado, Y he hecho lo malo delante de tus ojos; Para que seas reconocido justo en tu palabra, Y tenido por puro en tu juicio. 5 He aquí, en maldad he sido formado, Y en pecado me concibió mi madre. 6 He aquí, tú amas la verdad en lo íntimo, Y en lo secreto me has hecho comprender sabiduría. 7 Purifícame con hisopo, y seré limpio; Lávame, y seré más blanco que la nieve. 8 Hazme oír gozo y alegría, Y se recrearán los huesos que has abatido. 9 Esconde tu rostro de mis pecados, Y borra todas mis maldades. 10 Crea en mí, oh Dios, un corazón limpio, Y renueva un espíritu recto dentro de mí. 11 No me eches de delante de ti, Y no quites de mí tu santo Espíritu. 12 Vuélveme el gozo de tu salvación, Y espíritu noble me sustente.

Peter, The same Peter Jesus had just commended him for having a Revelation of who he was!

Now a few sentences later: Get behind me Satan! You are a hinderance!

You can receive the revelation of Jesus but decide to walk in the flesh.

Talking in the flesh.

Matthew 16.23 Set Your MIND on the Things of GOD!

Where have you SET YOUR MIND TODAY?

Colossians 3:1–2 ESV

1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Colossians 3:1–2 RVR60

1 Si, pues, habéis resucitado con Cristo, buscad las cosas de arriba, donde está Cristo sentado a la diestra de Dios. 2 Poned la mira en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra.

Philippians 4:8 ESV

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Philippians 4:8 RVR60

8 Por lo demás, hermanos, todo lo que es verdadero, todo lo honesto, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo que es de buen nombre; si hay virtud alguna, si algo digno de alabanza, en esto pensad.

Romans 12:2 ESV

2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2 RVR60

2 No os conforméis a este siglo, sino transformaos por medio de la renovación de vuestro entendimiento, para que comprobéis cuál sea la buena voluntad de Dios, agradable y perfecta.

Romans 8:5–11 ESV

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Romans 8:5–11 RVR60

5 Porque los que son de la carne piensan en las cosas de la carne; pero los que son del Espíritu, en las cosas del Espíritu. 6 Porque el ocuparse de la carne es muerte, pero el ocuparse del Espíritu es vida y paz. 7 Por cuanto los designios de la carne son enemistad contra Dios; porque no se sujetan a la ley de Dios, ni tampoco pueden; 8 y los que viven según la carne no pueden agradar a Dios. 9 Mas vosotros no vivís según la carne, sino según el Espíritu, si es que el Espíritu de Dios mora en vosotros. Y si alguno no tiene el Espíritu de Cristo, no es de él. 10 Pero si Cristo está en vosotros, el cuerpo en verdad está muerto a causa del pecado, mas el espíritu vive a causa de la justicia. 11 Y si el Espíritu de aquel que levantó de los muertos a Jesús mora en vosotros, el que levantó de los muertos a Cristo Jesús vivificará también vuestros cuerpos mortales por su Espíritu que mora en vosotros.

Isaiah 26:3 ESV

3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

Isaiah 26:3 RVR60

3 Tú guardarás en completa paz a aquel cuyo pensamiento en ti persevera; porque en ti ha confiado.

1 John 2:15–17 ESV

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

1 John 2:15–17 RVR60

15 No améis al mundo, ni las cosas que están en el mundo. Si alguno ama al mundo, el amor del Padre no está en él. 16 Porque todo lo que hay en el mundo, los deseos de la carne, los deseos de los ojos, y la vanagloria de la vida, no proviene del Padre, sino del mundo. 17 Y el mundo pasa, y sus deseos; pero el que hace la voluntad de Dios permanece para siempre.

James 3:15–17 ESV

15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

James 3:15–17 RVR60

15 porque esta sabiduría no es la que desciende de lo alto, sino terrenal, animal, diabólica. 16 Porque donde hay celos y contención, allí hay perturbación y toda obra perversa. 17 Pero la sabiduría que es de lo alto es primeramente pura, después pacífica, amable, benigna, llena de misericordia y de buenos frutos, sin incertidumbre ni hipocresía.
