Biblical Commentaries: from July 8th to 14th, 2024

Confession to the Lord

• The confession of the soul is the most intimate feeling between man and God, the deepest (Ps 16:2). Only in the communion of the Holy Spirit do we recognize the lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ. We understand that in this prophetic moment we cannot give up allowing ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit in obedience to the Lord. The world wants Jesus as Master, the soul wants him as Lord. It is not reason that reaches this conclusion, nor conscience, nor philosophy, nor theology, nor other human concepts and theories. Because all these things will never recognize the Lord Jesus as the only good. We can say that, as servants, Jesus Christ is sufficient for us, the Grace of the Lord upon us is sufficient for our victory ("And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" - II Corinthians 12:9).

• As the apostle Peter once said (John 6:68): “to whom shall we go?” The faithful servant only has one good. Jesus is the pearl of great price (Mt 13:46). It is the treasure hidden in the field, which was found by a believer, who hid it again so that no one could take it away. He sold everything he had and bought the field because of the treasure that was hidden there (Mt 13:44). The soul that encounters the Lord Jesus renounces all other things and acquires the work, because it is in it that the Lord Jesus is hidden and reveals himself to the servants. No one could enter the sanctuary when the high priest was there. Only Jesus entered to sprinkle his blood, cover our sins (Lev 16:19) and be our true way, truth and life (John 14:6). Jesus is the absolute Savior of the human being and not relative like many who are presented by religion.

Man's time

• The anger of the Lord described in Psalm 30:5 is characterized, among other things, by his silence towards man. When the Lord does not speak, man does not reach the path of salvation by himself and his resources. He gets lost. He has life, he studies, he works, he prospers, but he is lost in terms of eternal life. It only lasts a moment (it's just that earthly time counted towards death). There must be a glorification amid the church because this time of separation for us was brief; it has passed. God mercifully brought us into his marvelous light and saved us (1 Peter 2:9). His anger lasted only a moment in our lives. In his favor. What is God's favor? The Blood of Jesus, which was given for us. This was God's great favor toward those who were lost. In his favor is life. By Jesus' sacrifice, we were placed as heirs of a great salvation (Rom 8:17). The crying can last a night. Despite salvation, we must understand that we are going through a period called night. The struggles and tears are there at our doors. Only the faithful are crying. Infidels like the night. They find room in it to accommodate their carnal opinions. But joy comes. He comes! He comes! Come soon. With the dawn of a new day, a new time. David prophetically said that the face of Jesus is like a cloudless morning (2 Samuel 23:3-4). He will shine, and all tears will cease. And the night will no longer exist (Rev 21:1). "In whatever time I fear, I will trust in you" (Ps 56:3)

Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit

• It pierced my ears: The enslaved people described in the old tesOld Testament (Ps 40:6) had a moment when they would be freed; They would no longer have an owner; they would live on their own. He would be a free citizen without the weight of slavery and the laws that fell upon him. When he loved his master and received liberation, he made a pact to remain serving and pierced his ear, using the awl on the door (Dt 15:17). With this, he said that he did not want to be free, but rather a spontaneous slave of his master. We were slaves to the world, but the Lord called us not as enslaved people but as servants, free to serve him. At this time when the world is going through so many struggles, we are called to work in the Lord's work. We were called for this. The Lord's work has been in our midst since the 1960s. A story was consolidated in obedience, in the desire to serve. We didn't know what would happen, but we wanted to do the Lord's will. We understood that we could not have a doctrine from the Holy Spirit without having spiritual men to receive it. God showed us a path different from the path of tradition. God said: I will not place the values ​​of the Work of the Holy Spirit in the hands of unprepared men. I want people prepared for this moment. The people called were not the best in society; they were not the most intelligent nor the most cultured.

• The beginning was difficult. A reduced number of lives. These are severe problems. But we knew God wanted something different, and our journey should be spiritual, without vanity. There was no complete doctrinal structure, but it was brought to us through the struggles we experienced. The tradition focused on theology and included psychiatry, psychology, and other resources to treat men. But the problem was not in the flesh; the problem was in the soul of man, and this cannot be resolved within human limits (which we call the measure of man, fourth measure, creative work, relative truth). We are not called to do what the world is doing. God said: “You will not be like other nations. With strong hands, I will reign over you.” Luther brought the four main theses in the Reformation. The church, when it leaves these principles, leaves behind the entire project that God had for its people. Even the Lutherans left the basic principles of the Reformation. The big fights were fought. Many rose among us, wanting us to side with mysticism, movements, and healing the flesh without the regeneration of the spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit has been presented to us in these years. Today, we understand much more than in the beginning. We know that to remain in it, we have to be servants. We have to have an owner. We have to be stewards (Luke 16). We lost our carnal and religious freedom. We are not like the world, not even like religion. When the ear was pierced, the blood marked our lives. The Ear because we need to have our ears marked to hear the word of God. Our ears cannot be turned to that which does not glorify the name of the Lord. Our Lord is not demanding anything of us. We serve Him out of love, and in His hands is the destiny of our family and those raised in the house of the Lord. The faithful church is made up of servants who choose to stay. They stayed first because they love the Lord, then because they love their home (the Father's project), and they love the family He gave them (the entire operation of the Holy Spirit in their lives) because I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus (Gal 6:17).

• O God, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have told us of the work that You did in their days, in the times of old (Ps 44:1). We have a history that cannot be forgotten; it has to be taught. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for my soul trusts in you; and in the shadow of your wings I take shelter until the calamities pass (Ps 57:1). We are living in a world in which calamities are only increasing, they are natural tragedies that occur due to man's action in nature, they are wars and rumors of wars (Mt 24), among many other problems. But our cry is for all this to pass so we can be with the Lord in eternity. Our ears need to be marked by the word so that we will hear the sound of the trumpet and we will be raptured, “for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Cor 15:52), and we will hear, enter blessed of the Lord ("And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels." (Gen. 24:31)
