0:37we are going to continue with the
0:40series , with this new series , basic
0:43needs , with our topic two , the need for
0:47security . Father , in the name of Jesus ,
0:53we place ourselves in your hands , and
0:57my Lord , thank you for giving us the
0:59opportunity to serve you . Thank you for
1:02your presence here in our lives . Guide
1:06us , enlighten us , give us understanding
1:10in the name of your beloved son Jesus .
1:14Thank you very much . Every human being ,
1:25as we said , has basic needs to fulfill .
1:30Do you remember we looked at the need
1:31for love ? Now we are going to study the
1:36need for security . I am going to give
1:43an example . Speaking of the woman . She
1:46needs to fulfill her basic needs , and
1:52one of her basic needs is to feel
1:55secure . And there are things that make
2:00us feel secure as women and things that
2:04make us feel insecure . So she needs to
2:16have stability in her life . Say it with
2:20me , stability .
2:21Stability .
2:24And for that she needs something stable
2:29in her life , like for example , for a
2:31woman , having her own home gives her
2:34security . Mm . Or if she rents a house ,
2:45to be as stable as possible , right ?
2:54That act makes her feel secure . In the
2:59same way , for children , when parents
3:02move houses constantly ... There are
3:05those who move out of necessity or
3:07because of some specific situation that
3:10exists in the family , like the husband
3:13who is constantly sent to different
3:16places and , suddenly , they leave the
3:18house , they leave their friends , they
3:21leave everything , right ? And they are
3:30already established in a place , in a
3:32neighborhood , they have their friends
3:34at school . Now , how do you build secure
3:41families ? Be stable in what depends on
3:47you . Do not move houses if it is not
3:52necessary . Mm . Do not have an
4:00adventurous spirit , because for some it
4:04is a way of being , of living , to be
4:07moving constantly , they are restless .
4:11And how does that affect the family ?
4:13Right ? Recently , I just finished
4:18talking to a person who told me , " Wow ,
4:21well , because of my husband's work , my
4:23children have had to wander here and
4:25there since they were small , here and
4:27there . Now they are grown up . " And
4:31suddenly it happens again . What did the
4:34two daughters do ? They went off into
4:38the world . Yes . Everyone went their own
4:43way and told him , " Well , if you want to
4:45leave , just go . " And he only has one
4:49left . Just think how overwhelming that
4:52is . Yeah . Now , look , this all stems
5:01from security , it all stems from the
5:04character of God . Mm . We are not
5:10talking about human security , but
5:13something that stems from God's
5:16character , because it is one of His
5:19attributes called immutability . He is
5:24immutable . Let's analyze what immutable
5:29means . From the Greek for the for the
5:36G. And it means He is not fickle . Have
5:45you seen someone fickle ? Well , someone
6:02who is fickle is a person who
6:04fluctuates between two thoughts . Mm .
6:10Now , logically , a person who fluctuates
6:12between two thoughts causes you
6:14instability , right ? Yes , because one
6:21moment you see them firm in their
6:23convictions , and the next , they've
6:25changed their mind . Yes , in other words
6:30, unstable . But it's good that God is
6:35not like that . God is stable . James
6:431:17 . Look at what it says . Every good
6:49gift and every perfect gift comes down
6:53from above . Mm . From the Father of
6:58lights , with whom there is no change or
7:02shadow
7:04of turning . Look , there is no change .
7:08That word , the idea it gives you . Mm .
7:15God's character is stable and
7:17everything we receive from Him is good ,
7:20speaking of His character , because
7:22there is no change or shadow of turning
7:25. That gives me security . It gives me
7:30the security that what He promises , He
7:31will fulfill . If God said , " In my
7:39Father's house there are many rooms . If
7:43it were not so , I would have told you ,
7:46but I go to prepare a place for you . "
7:52Does that give you security ?
7:54Knowing that the day you depart with
7:56the Lord , or that we depart with the
7:58Lord ,
8:01there is security in where we are going
8:04. How beautiful , isn't it ? Because
8:09there are people who are unstable and
8:11insecure in their lives thinking , uh ,
8:13who am I ? What am I doing here on earth
8:15? Where am I going ? What will happen
8:18after death ? Just imagine . Mm . And how
8:24beautiful it is to know that even up to
8:26the day of our death , we have security .
8:36God is not fickle because it says , look
8:39, speaking of His character , there is
8:41no change or shadow of turning , there
8:44is no instability . Mm . It's not like
8:52someone who says , " Hey , we agreed to
8:54eat at such a time , on such a day . " " And
8:57the person never arrived , but they
8:59never let me know either . " Now , would
9:05you feel secure if that person told you
9:07, " Hey , let's go eat . " " Would you feel
9:10secure ?
9:12Because you say , " No way , they're just
9:13going to stand me up again . " Mhm . I
9:18wouldn't feel secure with those who say
9:20, " You know what ? I want to serve the
9:22Lord . " And then a little later they
9:24come , " You know what ? My mom said ,
9:25never mind . " No , that makes me feel
9:28insecure . I ask myself , " Then , who is
9:31calling them ? " Right ? Is it God who is
9:35calling them or what is happening ?
9:38Uh-huh . Logically , between the calling
9:42and the choosing there is a testing
9:44period , but you have to pass the test ,
9:46right ? Because God is faithful . God is
9:49faithful to us and helps us in
9:51everything . So everything we receive
9:56from God is good . When a person is
10:03fickle , it causes insecurity in others .
10:08For that reason , He wants us to be
10:11emotionally stable . Emotionally stable .
10:18That doesn't mean we don't have
10:21problems , because we all have problems ,
10:23right ? It doesn't mean we don't have
10:26needs . We all have needs . We all go
10:30through difficult situations . But
10:35notice what happened in Daniel 3:23 .
10:45There were three men , three guys , it
10:47says , Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego .
10:51They fell bound into the burning fiery
10:53furnace . Then King Nebuchadnezzar was
11:02astonished and rose up in haste and
11:04said to his counselors , " Did we not
11:06cast three men bound into the fire ? "
11:11Because these men refused to bow down
11:14before Nebuchadnezzar's statue . Uh-huh .
11:20So , he says , " Did we not cast three men
11:22bound into the fire ? " Now , were they in
11:25trouble ?
11:27Yes . They answered the king , " Is it
11:31true , O king ? " And he said , " Behold , I
11:34see four men unbound , walking in the
11:37midst of the fire without suffering ,
11:40underscore it , without suffering harm .
11:43" Who was the fourth one
11:47that was walking ? It was God Himself
11:50with them in the midst of the trial .
11:53Does that give you security ?
11:56How beautiful , isn't it ? God is the one
11:58who gives us security . Everything must
12:01start from there , and from there we
12:03must form the character of God in us .
12:06Mm . What for ? Well , to be able to give
12:09security to others .
12:13If not , if I don't have my security in
12:15God , what can I give ? Right ? So it says
12:23, " And the appearance of the fourth is
12:26like the son of the gods . " But it was
12:28the Lord . God is in the midst of the
12:32trial . That is why we cannot be moved
12:35by our emotions . There is a difficult
12:39problem . Just because you worry too
12:42much , are you going to solve it ?
12:44No ,
12:45no . Rest in the Lord . Pray , Father God .
12:49Lord , here is my situation , here are my
12:52needs . I leave it in your hands , and
12:55the peace of God , which surpasses all
12:57understanding , will guard my thoughts
13:00and my heart in Christ Jesus . Amen . And
13:07verse 26 says , " Then Nebuchadnezzar
13:10approached the door of the burning
13:12fiery furnace and said , Shadrach ,
13:15Meshach , and Abednego , servants of the
13:18Most High God , come out , and come here .
13:21" So Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego
13:24came out from the midst of the fire ,
13:27but they were not burned .
13:31Amen . Amen .
13:35And the satraps and governors gathered ,
13:38verse 27 , the captains and the king's
13:41counselors , to look at these men . How
13:46had the fire had no power over their
13:49bodies ? Not even the hair on their
13:55heads had been singed . Their clothes
13:58were intact . And they did not even have
14:07the smell of fire . Now let's apply this
14:10spiritually . You are going through the
14:13fiery furnace . You are going through a
14:16difficult situation . Uh-huh . But if in
14:21the midst of the trial God is with you ,
14:25well , you shouldn't even smell like it ,
14:30do you understand ? I mean , when we come
14:33to minister , even though we have
14:36problems and needs , it shouldn't show
14:38that you are burning and that you smell
14:44like you are burning . Because it is
14:48supposed that when one ministers , one
14:50should have already come from being at
14:56the altar with the Lord and come with
14:58peace in the midst of the storm . Amen .
15:04Because God gives me security . When I
15:08give Him my burdens , I am sure that He
15:10has already taken them . Then , why do I
15:14remain distressed ? Right ? I mean , if I
15:21already gave them to Him , then is God
15:23not enough to give me security and
15:25confidence ? Mm . When we think of moving
15:39, we think of constant coming and going
15:44. Mm , like those who work in moving
15:50from one place to another , from one
15:52place to another , like we said , right ?
15:55When there is instability , the
15:57instability is caused because they go
16:00from one place to another . When we
16:05started the house of prayer , the
16:07children's ministry , at first it was a
16:09group of teachers who were ministering
16:12and they rotated . But God told me , "
16:16Look , the child needs security . " And
16:21how does he acquire security ? When he
16:23always sees the same faces . So , what
16:28did I do ? God gave me wisdom and I
16:31established , as time went by and it
16:33grew , shifts guided by coordinators ,
16:42babies , crawlers , and walkers . The
16:43nursery department and preschool
16:45onwards is another coordinator . They
16:50are going to be stable in the same
16:54shift with the same teachers . looking
17:00at the faces . There are children who
17:01find discipline very difficult , and
17:03when they achieve it and then they are
17:07moved to another shift , it is hard for
17:12them ,
17:14to adapt . So , a child finds security
17:21being stable in one place with the same
17:25people . Mm . It also refers to being
17:36variable in one's way of thinking . If
17:39we are variable , we are going to be
17:41insecure all the time . If we think not
17:46like God , but according to my
17:48circumstances , I will be emotionally
17:50unstable all the time . Mm . And if
17:57someone wants to help you or comfort
18:00you , it will be difficult because your
18:03tears will scream louder . Yes , there is
18:11no room for God there and God is my
18:16security . Mm . And when He tells us that
18:26there is no change in Him , it means
18:30that God is stable in His way of
18:32thinking . Because right now He promises
18:37us something that He is indeed willing
18:39to fulfill . Amen . And He tells us , "
18:45Right ? Um , if you believe , your whole
18:47family will be saved .
18:52But , but if the person spends all their
18:53time whining , because , well yes , God
18:55told me they will be saved , but I see
18:57things looking bleak . " Of course ,
19:00because God wants to use us for
19:02salvation , not just the preaching of
19:05the gospel , but the example , the
19:07testimony . Amen .
19:13God always fulfills what He promises .
19:16That does not mean there isn't a price
19:18we have to pay . Mm . James 5:12 says , "
19:31But above all , my brethren , do not
19:37swear , either by heaven or by earth or
19:40with any other oath , but let your yes
19:43be yes , and your no , no , lest you fall
19:46into judgment . " Yes , because how many
19:51times do we promise , right ? Previously
19:55that is how people swore . And notice
19:57what Exodus 20 : 7 says . You shall not
20:00take the name of the Lord your God in
20:01vain , for the Lord will not hold him
20:07guiltless who takes His name in vain .
20:12They used phrases like , " I swear it to
20:14you by God . " Uh-huh . But it was lies ,
20:20the person did not fulfill what they
20:23promised . No , no , no . This time I
20:26promise you that I really will arrive
20:28early . Oh no , it's just that and since
20:34they see that they are no longer
20:35believed . Look , by God , I swear it to
20:41you , by God . Mm . That is why that is
20:45what it says . Do not swear by heaven ,
20:51nor by earth , nor by any other oath ,
20:54but let your yes be yes and your no be
20:57no . When a person is true to their word
21:00and says to you , " Yes , I want this , " it
21:04gives you security , right ? How does the
21:24Lord say it should be now in the New
21:26Testament ? That your yes be yes and
21:29that your no be no . We must be people
21:34of our word . Mm . People of their word
21:39provide security . Mm . Ah , that I am
21:45training others . People of their word
21:48provide security . Mm . What does it mean
21:57when it says condemnation ? That the
22:04justice of God comes to you because of
22:07your vain reasoning and your constant
22:12instability in not fulfilling what you
22:14promise . Someone is not stable in God .
22:20If someone is not stable in God , they
22:22will cause insecurity in others , right ?
22:26If a a woman , a mom , a housewife is not
22:32yet secure and stable in her emotions ,
22:35she does not create security in her
22:38family . Mm , how do we show instability
22:44in the way we think and act ? Mm . There
22:50are women who get depressed because
22:52they start cleaning their house and
22:54then suddenly they go upstairs and do a
22:57little bit and leave this started and
22:59then they go somewhere else and left it
23:01started and then suddenly they get
23:03depressed because they say , " I don't do
23:06anything well . " And then the children
23:12see her and observe her and they feel
23:17unstable , insecure . Mm . But if our
23:26dependence is on God , mm , then there is
23:33stability . Mm . Because we hear the
23:37voice of God well . Look , sit down and
23:40manage your time . Write down where you
23:45are going to start first . What is
23:49second ? What is third ? Schedule it . Mm .
23:59A child learns by consistent repetition
24:05and they know that repetition brings
24:07security . Yes , I hear someone saying
24:12word search , who says , " I forget this
24:18and that , but I have to be doing word
24:20searches so my mind is active and I
24:22don't forget things . " This is when we
24:28realize that among us we are all
24:30different , different development ,
24:33different capacity and those who lead
24:36have to be very loving and patient in
24:42the training . Yes . A child learns by
24:47consistent repetition , because
24:49repetition brings security . Right now
24:55we will see with repetition in the
24:58training of the servers . Have you seen
25:02a crawling child who throws a toy to
25:04the floor from their high chair ? Have
25:07you seen it ? And then you pick it up ,
25:10you give it to him , you give it to him
25:15every single time . He throws it , he
25:16throws it , he throws it . Do you know
25:18why ? He is learning , he is learning .
25:23Repetition is giving him security and
25:26understanding . Mm . That repetition
25:36helps him learn , he measures distances .
25:39How far did he throw the toy ? He hears
25:43sounds , he is developing his hearing
25:46even from his own laughter . Have you
25:50seen children who suddenly let out big
25:52bursts of laughter ? Yes . An adult also
25:59learns through consistent repetition .
26:04Mm . Philippians 3 : 1 says , " Finally , my
26:13brothers , rejoice in the Lord . To write
26:27the same things to you is no trouble to
26:29me . " And for you it is safe , it says .
26:38Amen .
26:42What was St. Paul's purpose in writing
26:45the same things ? So that they would be
26:48well engraved in their minds and hearts
26:50. Do you realize how God tells us in
26:58different ways ? The same things . He
27:04uses different teachers , different
27:06personalities , different decorations ,
27:12different ways so that finally it gets
27:15ingrained in us .
27:19And He is telling you the same things ,
27:21but He is doing it in a different way .
27:25He keeps repeating to us , He keeps
27:27repeating , He keeps repeating , He keeps
27:29repeating . And it says there , " And for
27:38you it is safe , it is safe , because
27:45what God wants is for it to be well
27:47ingrained in us , well ingrained , well
27:49ingrained , well ingrained . " Yes . So
28:02repetition provides security in what
28:05has been learned . In the departments
28:15and this is also good teaching for moms
28:18, but also for grandmothers . In the
28:23nursery , the same theme is taught all
28:24month long . For what reason ? With the
28:27purpose that it stays well ingrained .
28:36God is love , but one characteristic is
28:38used to and then in the second week
28:43another characteristic is used to apply
28:45the same theme . And then the third and
28:50then the fourth and then it is
28:51reinforced with a song . That gives the
28:56baby security , it gives him security
29:01because he learns through consistent
29:03repetition , but it is not just the
29:12lesson . Rather , it is the repetition of
29:23the class , but also in a practical way .
29:28Mm . Yes , because a good coach , a good
29:32trainer , won't just tell you , " Look ,
29:34this is your responsibility , you are
29:36going to do this , you are going to do
29:39this , you are going to do this . " A good
29:41coach repeats it as many times as
29:48necessary and accompanies the person to
29:51teach them practically how things
29:54should be done . Because if you notice ,
29:59when a person is new , sometimes the
30:01first thing they do is something else
30:04they weren't asked to do . I don't know
30:09if it's because they didn't understand
30:12or because the instruction wasn't
30:14explained well . Mm . That is why
30:20repetition in a practical way is so
30:23important . Now I walk with you , I take
30:29you by the hand , I take you exactly to
30:31where the things are , because sometimes
30:34we think we are explaining correctly
30:40and sometimes we aren't , or the person
30:43isn't understanding , and suddenly they
30:45can feel insecure . When it comes to the
31:01babies in the departments , it’s about
31:03using a soft tone of voice because it's
31:10part of the child's stage ; they react
31:13to voice inflections . Mm . I mean ,
31:19imagine if the person is managing , but
31:24suddenly they are one of those
31:27boisterous people who suddenly laughs
31:30out loud , the teacher . And what happens
31:33? The child
31:35starts crying because they get scared ,
31:38and there , your message of security
31:40falls apart . That's why I told you ,
31:46it's not just theory , it's practice too
31:49. Repetition of the word provides
31:58security as long as it is given with a
32:02spirit . Correct . Amen . With a correct
32:08spirit . Your tone of voice should be
32:10soft and kind , as we saw in the
32:12previous topic , according to
32:13Philippians , right ? 4 , where it talks
32:16about being kind , gentle , amiable . How
32:21are we going to act with the people we
32:23lead ? Kind . Yes . If you have a loud
32:27tone of voice , modulate your voice .
32:31Hello , good morning . Yes . Hello . Yes ,
32:39modulate your voice . It’s possible ,
32:41it’s possible the smile , do you
32:45remember what we left you with ?
32:47Practice in the mirror . Amen .
32:52Because you’re not going to be like a
32:53police officer who , when people arrive ,
32:55scares them . I don't want to go that
32:57way . If you notice , when we show the
33:08character of God as immutable , stable ,
33:12emotionally stable , without ups and
33:14downs , that doesn't mean that as women
33:23we don't have 35 hormonal changes a
33:25month , that we can be changing
33:30constantly . That is why we cannot
33:35depend on ourselves , but on God , who is
33:38the only one who gives me security ,
33:40right ? The only one who gives me
33:44security . 2 Corinthians 5 : 7 says , " For
33:49we walk by faith , not by sight . " By
33:52faith , meaning , we walk by His word , by
33:57obedience to His word and not by sight .
33:59I mean , and Eve saw that the tree was
34:03good . What did she see ? Feelings . Mm .
34:10We walk by obedience to His word and
34:12not by feelings . That doesn't mean our
34:17feelings are invalid . Because it's
34:20sometimes misunderstood when we say , "
34:22Don't walk by feelings . " No , it doesn't
34:24invalidate our feelings . But God does
34:28want stability in our emotions .
34:34Stability . That we don't depend on
34:38circumstances . Oh , this happened and
34:41now you're down in the dumps . Oh ,
34:45you're happy because everything is fine
34:47and you're extremely joyful . Swinging
34:49to the other extreme . No , rather ,
34:52circumstances are difficult , but God is
34:55with me . That's why I can have peace
34:59and security , because God has control
35:01and dominion over my circumstances , not
35:04me . Mm . And when we operate by feelings
35:16with our human reasoning , we bypass all
35:19biblical principles regarding our moral
35:22ethics . Yes , we sign a paper saying I
35:28have no problem with authority , but
35:31since I'm led by my emotions , when they
35:34say , " Please , I ask you to do this . " "
35:37Why ? " Yes , yes , do you see what I mean ?
35:44I mean , no , not that . Mm . If you're
35:50unstable , take your little pill , your
35:53relaxing tea . Amen . And there are
36:05people who don't know how to receive
36:07instructions and that person is the one
36:13being trained , not the coordinator , so
36:19you gain respect for how the work is
36:22handled . Whoever is new , well , it's
36:26said , whoever thinks they know , become
36:28ignorant so you know you know nothing .
36:31Do you understand ? You are learning and
36:35should just receive instructions . Learn
36:38, pay attention , have the best attitude
36:41. Yes , because that's how it happens
36:48sometimes . It's a time of testing . We
36:51are used to doing certain things how I
36:53believe , how I think , according to my
36:56character , my temperament , but
36:58sometimes we don't know how to receive
37:01instructions and the best thing is to
37:03receive instructions and obey . Amen .
37:14When someone is stable , they have
37:16already been tested by God and
37:18processed . Processed . And the mistakes
37:25we make should lead us to be wiser ,
37:31more understanding , more obedient , and
37:41more capable of doing the work . Now ,
37:54look , trust is a synonym for security .
38:01Trust is a synonym for security . Psalm
38:0422 : 9 and it says : " But You are He who
38:15took me out of the womb , the One who
38:17made me trust while at my mother’s
38:19breasts . " Mother's . Psalm 22 : 9 . Yes .
38:27You are the one who took me from the
38:29womb . Imagine how beautiful , right ? Now
38:36, God gives us security knowing that He
38:40wanted me to be born . Doesn't that give
38:44you security ?
38:45Even if someone tells you , " No , look ,
38:47you were the ugly duckling . " You this ,
38:48you this , you this . " No , no , no , no .
38:50God is the one who brought me out of
38:52the womb . He wanted me to be born ,
38:57right ? That gives you security . Mm . And
39:04he says , " You made me trust while at my
39:06mother's breast . " Have you ever seen an
39:09anxious child when at their mother's
39:11breast ? Of course not , right ? They are
39:16trusting . It’s a beautiful stage ,
39:22that time of breastfeeding , because
39:24babies are so connected to you .
39:27That’s why during that stage , a mom
39:30needs to be very filled with the spirit
39:33. Because when I was nursing my own
39:37children , I remember they looked at me
39:39with eyes overflowing with sweetness ,
39:41with love in their little eyes . It even
39:45makes you think , oh , I never want to
39:46stop nursing them . Beautiful , right ?
39:53And it says , " You made me trust when I
39:55was . " Speaking this word to a baby
40:07gives them courage and security .
40:12Rocking chairs are recommended by
40:15pediatricians , as the position of
40:19resting in the arms of the rocker gives
40:23the baby a sense of security and trust
40:27in God . And it’s also good for
40:31grandmothers to know this , because
40:33there are times when they come to help
40:35out a bit . Oh , let me help you for a
40:38while with the baby , and it shouldn't
40:40look like a chore , right ? But calm ,
40:45secure , filled with the Holy Spirit ,
40:48sitting , resting , even if they’re
40:51giving a bottle . Mm . That posture , that
40:56position gives them security . Uh-huh .
41:09While rocking and nursing or feeding
41:12them , we say , " Baby , God loves you so
41:14much that He brought you out of mommy's
41:17tummy . " " Mm . Psalm 22:10 says , " From
41:23birth I was cast on you . " Look , you
41:27were cast on God before you were born .
41:35How beautiful , right ? God wants us all
41:41to return to His bosom because He made
41:47us . And it says , " From my mother’s
41:51womb you have been my God . " How lovely ,
41:57isn't it ?
42:01And we nod , yes , baby , He is your God .
42:17How do we give security to a fearful
42:19child ? And we also apply it to women
42:27who are fearful in service . Jeremiah 17
42:32: 7 . Blessed is the one who trusts in
42:37the Lord , whose confidence is in the
42:39Lord . What does it say ? Blessed is the
42:44man who trusts in God and whose
42:47confidence is God . I know that I can do
42:51nothing if He doesn't help me . That’s
42:56why it says , " Blessed is the man who
42:57trusts in God . Lord , here I am . I am at
42:59your service . I am not doing this in my
43:01own strength . Help me to understand , to
43:05be guided . I want to do things right
43:07for you , Lord . Amen . I want to have
43:12security and provide security . How can
43:18I give confidence to a child when the
43:20child is growing up and shows fears ,
43:23for example , there is a stage where
43:25they don't want to go up the stairs of
43:27their house , let alone with the light
43:30off , because they are afraid even of
43:33their own shadow . Mm . What does a
43:40secure and confident parent do ? They
43:45tell the child , " Don't worry , what you
43:48see is just your shadow , but give me
43:52your hand , I'll hold you by the arm ,
43:57let's go together . " That is how we
44:03provide security . And sometimes we
44:07think we provide security when the
44:10child is afraid , fearful , cowardly . Oh ,
44:17how you get scared even by your own
44:19shadow . That provides security ,
44:23right ? How do we provide security and
44:28confidence to a servant who is learning
44:30to be trained ? If you instruct her and
44:35she makes a mistake , repeat it again
44:38and again as many times as necessary .
44:42With that confidence , she will grasp it
44:44soon . Do it with love and kindness .
44:51Take the person by the arm and lead
44:53them to the place where the thing is ,
44:55where they need to go . Look , it's this
44:59place . Mhm . M. What is the way to serve
45:04? You take the pitcher , you serve
45:08through the place . All this is going to
45:11be training .
45:16If you suddenly spill the coffee , don't
45:18make a scene . Stay calm , a little
45:28tablecloth , put it on the table without
45:31picking everything up or disturbing
45:34people . Amen . Don't worry , everything
45:37is fine . I have many anecdotes of women
45:43that God has allowed to be close to me
45:45and they are always very fearful and
45:47insecure women . In that process of
45:52learning , at that time when I was on
45:54the tambourine , I was wearing all white
45:56clothes and a ministry of help ; uh ,
46:02suddenly she was so insecure that
46:04everything happened . Suddenly she
46:09spills the cup and , thank God , I
46:12managed to move , and she was , well ,
46:15really scared , and I told her : " Calm
46:17down , everything is fine , solve the
46:21problem , put the little tablecloth on
46:23and that's it . " " Later , calmly , I would
46:27talk to her and say , ' Uh , stay calm ,
46:30feel secure , okay ? ' Learn to receive
46:33instructions , don't do anything on your
46:35own initiative . Ask for permission . "
46:38Mhm . And on another occasion , I was
46:42talking to a person and my briefcase
46:44was to one side and she wanted to put
46:46it in its place , but suddenly she
46:49didn't know what she did and she passed
46:51it right across my back . Wow , it just
46:59made me laugh . So , um , use basic logic ,
47:08right ?
47:10Thank you , please . Excuse me . May I ? I
47:14mean , train her . Um , this isn't the
47:17moment . If I'm talking , it's not the
47:19moment . Don't make any movements . Yes .
47:28And I've had your help ministries that
47:31have made me feel insecure . Sometimes
47:35you're too nice and you think , " Wow ,
47:38it's good for that person to be close , "
47:40because I've never feared anyone being
47:43close and really knowing me as I am ,
47:47not at all , because I think the people
47:49who are close know that I'm transparent
47:51. But I had a person I tried to restore
47:56, and she had very bad things in her
47:59heart , very bad things . I remember that
48:04on one occasion , someone organized a
48:08little breakfast for my birthday . We
48:12were in the hallway , and they wanted to
48:15have memories by taking photos , and she
48:17was taking photos , you see ? So later I
48:27spoke with her and I said , " Look ,
48:29nobody here is the center of attention .
48:31The center of attention is God , and as
48:34far as I know , it's not your birthday .
48:45Yes , but there are special people ,
48:46truly their heart isn't right , but
48:48sometimes you jump into restoring such
48:51people , believing and trusting that God
48:53will do the work , but when the heart is
48:55right , well , nothing happens . And we
48:58pray to the Lord that He takes control .
49:10Our reactions speak . Don't shake your
49:13head as if feeling they did it wrong .
49:16We are talking about the training . If
49:18the person makes a mistake , don't do
49:20this .
49:26Yes . Body language speaks volumes .
49:31Don't do that , absolutely acting as if
49:35nothing happened . Never argue in front
49:42of people . Never . No one . Yes . That
49:49causes insecurity in people and is a
49:52very bad example . You have to try to
49:57solve things well with kindness , right ?
50:00That is , that's fine . Until later , once
50:03everything is over , that's where you
50:06should address the issue calmly . But
50:10never argue with others , nor with a
50:13fellow worker , never . Mm . So we are
50:25going to walk alongside the person
50:27until they master it . Mm . If it's a
50:34person who likes to raise their voice
50:38or tries to give explanations while
50:41shouting , the person calmly turns ,
50:44smiles at them softly . You can lower
50:51your voice , we'll talk later . Mm . All
51:00our actions must be based on truth ,
51:03justice , and holiness . Truth , justice ,
51:08and holiness . Your behavior must be
51:13with complete purity . Where am I truly
51:25deriving my security from ? Psalm 91 : 2 .
51:32Turning to God , I will say of the Lord ,
51:36my hope
51:38and my fortress . Who am I going to go
51:41to in times of need ?
51:43If He is my hope and my fortress , He is
51:45my protector , that is where I will go .
51:50My God , in whom
51:53shall I trust ? Psalm 91 : 3 . He will
52:01deliver you from the snare of the
52:03fowler , from the perilous pestilence .
52:07Yes . He will deliver us from the snare
52:09of the fowler . The enemy cannot touch a
52:12Christian . The enemy cannot possess a
52:17Christian . He can oppress you if you
52:21open the door to him . If you open the
52:24door to him . Mm . But , what does it say ?
52:29He will deliver me from the snare of
52:30the fowler . The fowler is a type of the
52:33enemy , of the destructive plague , of
52:36anything that walks in darkness . With
52:41His feathers He will cover you and
52:44under His wings
52:46you will be . What ?
52:48Secure . How wonderful , right ? Shield
52:53and buckler . It is His truth . His
52:57shield is a protection . Mm . And a
53:04buckler is the sword with which we
53:10strike directly at the heart . Mm . You
53:14shall not be afraid of the terror by
53:16night . There it is , right ? No , my love ,
53:22there is no need to be afraid just
53:27because there is no light . It’s not
53:30that I want to sleep with the light , I
53:32want to sleep with the TV on . No , my
53:34love , God is with you . Let’s pray .
53:39Let’s pray so that the peace of God
53:41may rest upon you . Amen . You shall not
53:46be afraid of the terror by night , nor
53:48of the arrow that flies by day , nor of
53:50the pestilence that walks in darkness ,
53:54nor of the destruction that lays waste
53:56at noonday . Because a thousand shall
53:59fall at my side and ten thousand at my
54:00right hand , but to me
54:03it shall not come . God is our security
54:07and confidence .
54:08Amen . We as servants of God can be
54:15instruments to provide security and
54:17confidence . How do we show the
54:21character of God ? Right ? A child sees
54:28God in their parents . They are small ,
54:32but that is how they interpret Him .
54:34Imagine how they are interpreting Him .
54:38Mm . Others must see God in us , in our
54:42actions . Mm . Like that drunk man , a
54:50woman who had seven children and her
54:56husband was always drunk , he would
54:58arrive at 2 or 3 in the morning , uh he
54:59would almost knock down the door and
55:01sometimes she would change the lock and
55:03when he arrived he would grab the
55:04children and they would hit his feet
55:06and everything . And she said she didn't
55:09want anything anymore , that man caused
55:11her tremendous fear and insecurity . But
55:15I told her , " Do you know that God is
55:18your protector ? God is your security ,
55:25but you can also win your husband for
55:27Christ . Change your strategy . " Mhm . And
55:35once she changed her strategy , when he
55:37arrived at 2 in the morning , she
55:39already had a basin of warm water to
55:41soak his feet and had some spicy
55:43chilaquiles ready for him . The moment
55:46came when the man converted
55:49and he told me , " I believed because she
55:52is a walking Bible . " She does what it
55:57says . She does what it says . It gives
56:03you security when someone does what it
56:05says , isn't that right ?
56:07And we aren't those bipolar people who
56:10act one way , then transform when at
56:12home . No , no , no , no , no . Exactly . What
56:19God is teaching us , He is going to test
56:21at home . Right at home . And then it
56:27will be reflected in the ministry .
56:29Because if I know how to resolve my
56:31conflicts with the Word of God , which
56:34gives me security , mm , then I will know
56:39how to resolve them in God's work . Why ?
56:42Because in God's work , I might
56:43encounter a difficult woman . Mm . Oh ,
56:53what a challenge , right ? So we can be
56:59God's instruments to provide confidence
57:02and security . Let us pray . Let us pray
57:05and say , " Lord , here I am . Help me . " "
57:09Yes , Lord , we are in your hands . We ask
57:14for your help , my Lord . We want to be
57:18close to you , my Lord . Just as those
57:24men in the fiery furnace felt your
57:27presence , your protection , and emerged
57:35victorious from that trial . So too ,
57:41Lord , we want to be attached to you ,
57:44secure in you , dependent on you . " Yes ,
57:51Father , in the name of your beloved Son
57:54Jesus , help us , my Lord . Thank you very
57:58much . Thank you very much . Yeah .
