The source of your Stability

(Jeremiah 1:17–19) «“Therefore prepare yourself and arise, And speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them. For behold, I have made you this day A fortified city and an iron pillar, And bronze walls against the whole land— Against the kings of Judah, Against its princes, Against its priests, And against the people of the land. They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”»
God chooses calls, forms and enables his worker to work in the time and world in which he lives.

God is an all knowing God

· Covid did not surprise our God.
· The gender ideology has not surprised Him.
· The persecution does not surprise him.
We are facing an unstable world, convulsing, a world that runs towards the eternal precipice.
But God connects his purpose, message, and worker so that he preaches to the world that he has to minister.
God has prepared us for this time, he has given us this time, and we are going to fulfill our God in this time, with the Power of our Lord Jesus Christ and the help of the Holy Spirit we will not fail him, we will not fail, we will plant the flag of the gospel in the mountains, in the valleys, in the cities and towns.

The Key to preparation

(Jeremiah 1:17) «“Therefore prepare yourself and arise, And speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them.»
The Blessing to be chosen by God.
(Jeremiah 1:5) «“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”»
Here comes the part of the privilege of having been chosen by God.
He did not choose you for
· your eloquence,
· your experiences,
· your skills,
· your achievements,
· your congregation,
· your temples,
Before you were even begotten, He chooses you before you were a fertilized egg, before your embryo was formed.
When you didn't even exist in anyone's mind
You weren't even hiding in your mother's womb yet.

The YADA GOD

· Before you were, I KNEW YOU; you have a YA_DA of God
· Before you were someone
· Before you had a name
· Before you were an information
God knew you; God had a YA_DA about you.

You have to understand the belly that brings you.

The belly is what brings you stripped and rocks you naked; God is the One that conceals you, it is the One that protects you, it is the One that reminds you of your condition.
(Job 1:21) «And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.”»
The belly makes you understand that there is no desire, that there are no properties, that there is no money, that there is no fame.
There is only room for God's process in the womb that adds everything you don't have.
(Psalm 139:16) «Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.»
Solomon in the deepest book of him commented it
(Ecclesiastes 5:15) «As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand.»
(1 Corinthians 4:11) «To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.»
Why does God remind us that we were in his YA_DA?
Paul confirmed it
(1 Corinthians 1:28–29) «and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.»
When you had nothing, when you didn't even know where Psalm 23 was
The womb is what leads you to surrender to the service of the One who not only wanted to give you life, he wanted to give you a place in His purpose.
The tightness is what prevents the loose, the slack, when you have to work hard or force, the loose is injured and injured others, damaged or damaged something.

The Belt

The belt speaks of preparedness for acting.
There can be no loose things in the ministry, no gaps; everything must be tight to God.
This priest belt measured 32 cubits (45 feet).
The sum of the numerical value of the Hebrew heart letters is 32.
The belt divided the body in two: the bottom and the top. The apostle Paul defines in his teaching the importance of covering with more honor the less decorous.
The belt serves to gird the heart's thoughts, separates the animal part (lower) and the spirit from the upper part.
The belt speaks of girdling, of acting. There can be no loose things in the ministry, no gaps; everything must be tight to God.
The Work of God is impossible for those who do not have a girded mind. The girdle is what unites, supports, and reinforces work.
God requires the reinforcement of the will.
The will cannot be loose.
When we go up in recognition of the Work LAY to LICENSED to ORDAINED, at each step, it seems that each time we have less girdle, less girdle we have.
Peter entered the garden of intercession with two swords, struck Malchus.
(John 18:10) «Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.»
Jesus had to put the girdle on him, Jesus had to gird him on.
(John 18:11) «So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”»
WMM is not a place for those who do not adhere
When we are not girded, we are dangerous; Jesus had to girdle Peter and heal the wounded
(John 21:18) «Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.”»

Signs of instability

Every institution requires 5 elements of authority
Destabilizing consists of:
· Weaken institutions
· Erode authority
· Take the system where it is to lose security and firmness
· Alter the correlation of forces
· Change vision
When the worker begins to be unstable, if he does not amend himself, he passes into a destabilizer category.
Satan went from a protective cherub to an unstable cherub, from an unstable cherub to a destabilizing cherub, changed the angels' vision under his authority, and made them fall with him.
He wanted to:
· Weaken the divine institution
· Erode divine authority
· Take the system created by God to lose security and firmness
· Altering the correlation of forces, the cherub rises to God
· Change vision
Satan was intelligent but not omniscient.
He had authority but not omnipotence.
He could move from one place to another, but he is not omnipresent.
He didn't know all that God is
He did not know all the qualities of God
God met him, and there will always be an encounter with God. No one escapes God.
(Ezekiel 28:14) «“You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.»
(Ezekiel 28:15) «You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.»
(Ezekiel 28:16) «“By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones.»
(Ezekiel 28:17) «“Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you.»

The Keys to Stability

It is the relationship with God
(Deuteronomy 32:3–4) «For I proclaim the name of the Lord: Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.»
(Matthew 7:24) «“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:»
Paul reveals that that Rock is Christ
(1 Corinthians 10:4) «and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.»
God is the unshakable Rock of the ages
· Covid does not move it
· LGBTI does not move it
· Governments do not move it
· The dividers do not move it
The Church is upon the Rock

The Key to get rid of everything

Forty years earlier, Moses had relied on himself
(Exodus 2:11) «Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.»
1. Was grown
2. In Egypt he went out
3. In mount Sinai he went in
(Exodus 3:4–5) «So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”»
When Moses came to the Presence of God, God told him what to be off.
When Moses came to the Presence of God, God told him to remove the sandals from his feet.
The slave took off his footwear
But I think there is another, deeper truth
I want you to notice: FOR THE PLACE WHERE YOU STAND
It is not so much the place where Moses was standing.
· God wanted Moses' feet to be in contact and to rest in divine favor.
· God wants you to discover His full support
John leaned on Jesus' chest. What did he want?
He declared his spiritual poverty and the Rock his support.
John was telling Jesus, without you, I can do nothing.
Moses had to learn to rest in God because entering the divine purpose requires establishing ourselves within the purpose of God even without knowing it thoroughly.

The Key to Silence

· Why Jesus keep silent before the Sanhedrin?
· Why Jesus keep silent before the High Priest?
· Why Jesus keep silent before Herod?
· Why Jesus keep silent before Pilate?
Because if he speaks he will stop the divine plan.
Just by writing on the ground, he dismantled the mob's moral capacity that wanted to stone the adulterous woman.
· If Jesus opened his mouth in the Sanhedrin, they would have fallen at his feet under conviction of sin.
· If Jesus had spoken to the High Priest, he would not dare to declare him blasphemous.
· If Jesus opened his mouth before Herod, this puppet from Rome would have fallen at his feet as King of Israel.
· If Jesus opened his mouth to Pilate, he would have stopped sending to the Cross.
Everything Jesus had to say He told the Father in Gethsemane
Silence is the Cry of the Chamber of Secrets
Let your Rock do the talking,
Your Rock does not speak if you do not keep silence
The Victory of the Lamb and his Salvation was due to Jesus' silence.
