  • 0:00 - 0:07
    Jesus was three years, at least, on this earth.
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    Right? and He was walking.
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    Still, Jesus had only 12 disciples.
  • 0:12 - 0:15
    If I ask you now if you would follow Him,
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    would you follow Him if He was here?
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    You would go to Him, right?
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    "Wherever You go, I go."
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    You would say.
  • 0:26 - 0:27
    "I don't care about my job", you would say.
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    "I don't care about my house, my family."
  • 0:31 - 0:32
    "I don't care if they will follow You or not."
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    "Me, I will follow You."
    That's what you would say?
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    Let me tell you,
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    you would not do that. You would say,
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    "Tomorrow what will I eat?"
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    You would worry about tomorrow.
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    Are you ready to die for Him?
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    If you are ready to live for Him,
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    and He deserves to deliver your life to Him,
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    so, He deserves to die for Him.
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    Do you know that there is someone that died for you,
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    in your place?
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    Even though He was God, sitting on His throne,
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    still, He came.
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    Still, they embarrassed Him,
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    they spit on Him, they punched Him,
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    they put a bag on His face,
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    on His head,
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    and they were punching Him, and saying to Him:
  • 1:16 - 1:17
    "Prophesy! Who hit You?"
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    He was receiving humiliation, He was receiving-
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    we are talking about God, now.
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    I want to remind you.
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    You, if you receive humiliation,
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    your pride would talk:
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    "Who are you to talk to me like that?"
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    Imagine, our pride.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    Someone is doing something to us
    that is very wrong,
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    and we are thinking how we will take revenge.
  • 1:35 - 1:35
    How?
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    If all of this happened to God,
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    What race do you run today?
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    If the relationship you keep with
    God is not great,
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    you will never do great things.
    It's impossible.
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    You need the help of the Holy Spirit to do His will.
  • 1:48 - 1:49
    Otherwise, it's impossible.
  • 1:49 - 1:50
    Today, there are Christians
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    that think they do His will.
  • 1:51 - 1:52
    You're not serious with God.
  • 1:53 - 1:54
    Instead of you to say,
  • 1:54 - 1:55
    "In the mighty name of Jesus,"
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    "Anything that is not of Jesus in my life, out!"
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    "In Jesus' mighty name."
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    To pray, to fight the good fight.
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    This is the fight we are talking about here.
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    This is the fight you should give
    every single day.
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    Whatever you see, it's a sin.
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    Whatever you see in this world, it's dirty and sin.
  • 2:11 - 2:11
    Whatever you see.
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    Did you know that when you sin,
  • 2:14 - 2:15
    you have pain and discomfort in
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    areas of your life?
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    You have pain and discomfort
    because of your sin.
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    Did you know that?
  • 2:20 - 2:21
    You created this problem.
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    It's not that God created it or that God is testing you.
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    You did it. You created it by yourself.
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    If now, you go and beat this man,
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    break his nose,
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    you kill him.
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    "Oh, God is testing me to go to jail now."
  • 2:33 - 2:34
    "It's a test, I'm going to jail."
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    "It's a test."
    Which test are you talking about?
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    You just created your situation, here.
  • 2:38 - 2:39
    And if you create your situation,
  • 2:39 - 2:40
    and you find yourself
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    in a place that you should not be,
  • 2:42 - 2:43
    God is not with you.
  • 2:43 - 2:44
    Because God didn't send you there.
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    This is why the seven sons of Sceva,
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    God was not with them. Even though
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    they were saying, "in the name of Jesus that Paul preached,
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    I command you, evil spirit,
  • 2:53 - 2:54
    come out of the person."
  • 2:54 - 2:58
    And the evil spirit said to them,
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    "Sorry, Paul I know. Jesus I know. who are you?"
  • 3:02 - 3:04
    That means, God is not with you.
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    He's not supporting your position.
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    Whatever you do, you are doing it by yourself.
  • 3:09 - 3:10
    You don't have the Lord in your life.
  • 3:10 - 3:11
    "Come here!",
  • 3:11 - 3:14
    and he beat them. The seven of them.
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    So, if God is not with you,
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    then everything can be against you,
  • 3:18 - 3:21
    everybody can destroy you, steal from you.
  • 3:21 - 3:22
    Today you have money in your pocket,
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    and tomorrow it disappears.
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    You say, "What happened? How'd I spend my money?"
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    "Where did it go? What is happening?"
  • 3:29 - 3:30
    "Why?!"
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    Do you know how? You will go,
  • 3:32 - 3:33
    you will go to a store,
  • 3:34 - 3:36
    "Wow, they have nice food."
  • 3:36 - 3:37
    "Let's go and eat with your friends."
  • 3:37 - 3:38
    Right away, someone is telling you,
  • 3:38 - 3:40
    "Pay for everything!" You pay for everything.
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    You give $200, $300,
  • 3:42 - 3:43
    and then you go to your house.
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    Your friends have money to spend,
  • 3:45 - 3:45
    but you don't have.
  • 3:45 - 3:46
    You don't have money to pay your rent,
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    You don't have money to buy something that
  • 3:49 - 3:51
    you really need. You say,
  • 3:51 - 3:53
    "Where is my money? Where is my money?"
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    Your money, someone stole from you without you understanding.
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    You see what I'm telling you?
  • 3:57 - 4:00
    That you should have a great relationship with God,
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    so you can stop the destruction in your life.
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    Are you ready to fight the good fight?
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    This is the title of today's message.
  • 4:08 - 4:10
    Are you fighting the good fight?
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    Our battle is not against flesh and blood.
  • 4:12 - 4:17
    It's against evil spirits, my friends.
  • 4:17 - 4:19
    Are you fighting evil spirits?
  • 4:19 - 4:22
    What are you doing? You're fighting with your neighbor?
  • 4:22 - 4:22
    Where is your fight?
  • 4:23 - 4:23
    Let me tell you,
  • 4:23 - 4:27
    nobody can convince you that you're not a child of God.
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    Remember that for the rest of your life.
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    If someone comes to you and tells you
  • 4:31 - 4:32
    that you're not a child of God,
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    he's such a liar. The greatest liar of all.
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    Let's open our Bibles
  • 4:37 - 4:39
    1 Corinthians chapter 9, verse 24.
  • 4:39 - 4:46
    Do you not know that those who run in a race all run,
  • 4:46 - 4:51
    but one receives the prize?"
  • 4:51 - 4:53
    Oh my God, what is the word of God saying here?
  • 4:53 - 4:55
    They all run! Be careful.
  • 4:55 - 4:57
    They are all Christians, and they run.
  • 4:57 - 5:03
    But what? It says only one will receive the prize.
  • 5:03 - 5:07
    Can you imagine how well you should run?
  • 5:07 - 5:09
    "Run in such a way that you may obtain it."
  • 5:09 - 5:16
    "And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things."
  • 5:16 - 5:18
    Temperate in all things means:
  • 5:18 - 5:21
    I'm an athlete, I have to,
  • 5:21 - 5:23
    you know, to hold myself.
  • 5:23 - 5:25
    I should not eat the cake.
  • 5:25 - 5:28
    The other people, they will pass me. For a Christian, it says:
  • 5:28 - 5:29
    "The other people,
  • 5:29 - 5:31
    they might be lying,
  • 5:31 - 5:32
    no problem, but me,
  • 5:32 - 5:34
    I want to win the prize, I will not lie."
  • 5:34 - 5:41
    Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown,
  • 5:41 - 5:45
    but we for an imperishable crown."
  • 5:45 - 5:51
    "Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty.
  • 5:51 - 5:57
    Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.
  • 5:57 - 6:03
    But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest,
  • 6:03 - 6:10
    when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified."
  • 6:10 - 6:15
    Let's see what it also says in 2 Timothy, chapter 4, verse 6.
  • 6:15 - 6:20
    "For I am already being poured out as a drink offering,
  • 6:20 - 6:24
    and the time of my departure is at hand."
  • 6:24 - 6:29
    "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race,
  • 6:29 - 6:32
    I have kept the faith."
  • 6:32 - 6:34
    What is the title of today's message?
  • 6:34 - 6:35
    Fight the Good FIght.
  • 6:35 - 6:39
    Fight against principalities of darkness.
  • 6:39 - 6:41
    This is your fight today!
  • 6:41 - 6:43
    When you don't have a job, what are you saying?
  • 6:43 - 6:44
    Are you saying, thank you Jesus,
  • 6:44 - 6:46
    for the job that you gave me?
  • 6:46 - 6:49
    Can you hear yourself what you're saying, brother?
  • 6:49 - 6:50
    You said, "thank you Jesus,
  • 6:50 - 6:51
    for the job You gave me?"
  • 6:51 - 6:53
    You said that you don't have a job.
  • 6:53 - 6:55
    When you are sick, are you saying
  • 6:55 - 6:57
    thank you Jesus for my health?
  • 6:57 - 6:59
    This is how you keep your faith.
  • 6:59 - 6:59
    Did you know that?
  • 6:59 - 7:02
    Let the weak say, i'm strong.
  • 7:02 - 7:04
    This is a good confession.
  • 7:04 - 7:06
    There is a fight you have to give.
  • 7:06 - 7:09
    If you fight the good fight,
  • 7:09 - 7:12
    you will have good results.
  • 7:12 - 7:17
    If you fight the evil fight,
  • 7:17 - 7:21
    you will find yourself outside
    of the will of God.
  • 7:21 - 7:23
    Today, you want good results,
  • 7:23 - 7:25
    but you are not fighting the good fight.
  • 7:25 - 7:27
    You will say to 10 different people
  • 7:27 - 7:28
    that you are looking for a job,
  • 7:28 - 7:30
    but you will never say to God
  • 7:30 - 7:32
    10 times that you need a job.
  • 7:32 - 7:34
    You will tell Him only one time.
  • 7:34 - 7:37
    But you have the time to talk to the people.
  • 7:37 - 7:39
    So again, where are we going?
  • 7:39 - 7:44
    To the great relationship that you must have with God. Again, we go there.
  • 7:44 - 7:47
    Then you don't find, and nobody wants you in their job.
  • 7:47 - 7:49
    And then you start changing your confession:
  • 7:49 - 7:52
    "I will never find a job."
  • 7:52 - 7:54
    "I will never succeed."
  • 7:54 - 7:56
    "You will never have this."
  • 7:56 - 7:57
    Someone is talking to you.
  • 7:57 - 7:59
    "You will never this, you will never that."
  • 7:59 - 8:01
    Do you know which God you serve?
  • 8:01 - 8:07
    The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.
  • 8:07 - 8:09
    The God of Moses.
  • 8:09 - 8:12
    This God, we are talking about here.
  • 8:12 - 8:14
    The God of the impossible.
  • 8:14 - 8:16
    If your situation is impossible,
  • 8:16 - 8:19
    This is exactly the God you need in your life.
  • 8:19 - 8:21
    The God of the impossible.
  • 8:21 - 8:24
    And let me tell you something:
  • 8:24 - 8:31
    by the time you will have hope in the reliability of God,
  • 8:31 - 8:33
    you will receive the impossible.
  • 8:33 - 8:38
    By the time you will have hope, to where?
  • 8:38 - 8:42
    To the reliability of God Almighty,
  • 8:42 - 8:46
    at the same time, at this appointed time,
  • 8:46 - 8:47
    you will receive the impossible.
  • 8:47 - 8:50
    For you to fight Satan, you need the invisible God,
  • 8:50 - 8:51
    because Satan is invisible.
  • 8:51 - 8:51
    You cannot see him.
  • 8:51 - 8:53
    This is why you say, "What is happening?"
  • 8:53 - 8:55
    "I don't understand."
    You don't understand
  • 8:55 - 8:57
    because you cannot see what is happening.
  • 8:57 - 9:00
    You need God's eyes to see what is happening.
  • 9:00 - 9:03
    Do you know what is the name of God's eyes?
  • 9:03 - 9:04
    Faith.
  • 9:04 - 9:05
    You need faith.
  • 9:05 - 9:09
    Faith is that God, for sure,
  • 9:09 - 9:11
    He will do what He promised.
  • 9:11 - 9:12
    That's faith.
  • 9:13 - 9:15
    Are you going to fight now the good fight?
  • 9:15 - 9:17
    Forget about what the other people do.
  • 9:17 - 9:19
    What matters is your relationship that you keep with God.
  • 9:19 - 9:21
    This is why I told you, forget about what the people are doing.
  • 9:21 - 9:23
    Do you know that when you are in front of Him,
  • 9:23 - 9:25
    when you are about to be in front of Him,
  • 9:25 - 9:27
    He will tell you, "come here."
  • 9:27 - 9:29
    "You won the race."
  • 9:29 - 9:30
    What can stop you?
  • 9:30 - 9:33
    What can stop you to receive the medal?
  • 9:33 - 9:34
    Yourself only!
  • 9:34 - 9:37
    I want to tell you that satan cannot stop you.
  • 9:37 - 9:38
    I'm telling you now. Satan,
  • 9:38 - 9:40
    your enemies, cannot stop you.
  • 9:40 - 9:43
    An angel from Heaven cannot stop you.
  • 9:44 - 9:45
    The only person that can stop you
  • 9:45 - 9:48
    from receiving the medal of honor, is yourself!
