Introduction and Establishment of Purpose:

Blessed:
The purpose of this manual is to have the outlines for ministering in Encuentros. This manual was made to bless the people
of God and to serve as a guide on how to minister an Encuentro.
But I indicate something: No one can have a Meeting if they are not willing to do so. That is, there has to be an openness of
heart for this to happen. If there is not, you can go to 1,000 Encounters and nothing will happen in your life, you can go
forward to do the prayer of faith 2,500 times in 1,600 different activities and you will remain the same. There has to be a
disposition of heart.
We only hope that it is a blessing and blessing to you.

Prophets José A. and Ysabel Quintero, Apostolic Ministers

 Pre-Meeting:
Just the beginning of the
road
 The Pre-Meeting:
(Minister with Preludio and Soy Tu Padre from the CD Yo Soy Tu Padre by Marco Barrientos)

What is a Pre-Meeting?

They are meetings prior to the Encounters that aim to prepare the people who will go to a retreat so that they can have a real
and close Encounter with the Lord. The Pre-Meetings are held during three or four sessions prior to the Meeting weekend
and last 30 minutes. At the end of each session, a personal reflection sheet is given for attendees to answer at home. One of
these self-assessments is the Spiritual Clinic, which is an x-ray of the person in each area of their life: Sins, family, sexual,
emotional and language problems, illnesses (with spiritual background), false sects and participation in occultism and
divination. With the talks and self-evaluations, all the people who will attend the Meeting are prepared, making them aware
of the need to change and prepare their hearts to be renewed by the Lord.

Repentance is a change of life and is essential to have a deep Encounter with God; Acts 3:19 says, “Repent therefore and
turn, that your sins may be blotted out; so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” Joel 2:12-32
highlights the need to turn to God, rend our hearts and improve our ways, so that God will bring blessing and restore our
lives. Since repentance is a gift from God (Acts 5:31 and 2 Timothy 2:25) more than a mere requirement, we must pray and
intercede for people to receive it, motivating them to believe in Christ to do so.

In these Pre-encounters emphasis is placed on preparing for an Encounter with God and expecting a real and profound
change. That is why they confront the Word of truth, but at the same time with mercy, pointing out the work of Jesus on the
cross and God's forgiveness.

The Biblical Pre-Encounters:

Biblically there were several people who experienced various Pre-Encounters or circumstances prior to their Encounter with
God that led them to experience that glorious moment.
For example, the woman with an issue of blood who was healed in her encounter with Jesus, had a Pre I find that it moved
her to make that act of faith of touching the mantle of the Lord. The Bible says that she “heard about Jesus.” This
encouraged that woman and prepared her for her miracle (Mark 5.25-34). Another similar example is the Syro-Phoenician
woman whose daughter was tormented by a demon (Mark 7.24-30). Moses, in order to have that wonderful Encounter with
God in the burning bush, had to reach the “mountain of God”, that is, the ideal point where He could reveal Himself to him
and find an adequate response from Moses (Ex 3.1). And Jesus, before ascending to heaven, instructed the disciples to stay
in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father, thus preparing the faith and expectation in them to receive the Holy
Spirit at Pentecost. This is what the Pre-Meetings are like; In these people are told about Jesus and brought to the point
where they can easily have an Encounter with God.

The reflections and the spiritual clinic:

They are an important piece of a person's preparation to attend the Encounter with God. In them each one can see their life
reflected, creating in them the need to change, at the same time that awakens their expectation and trust in the transforming
power of God.
Reflection sheets are handed out at the end of each Pre-Meeting. You should instruct people to fill them out that same day at
home, praying to the Lord beforehand, and to keep them to analyze after the Meeting. The Spiritual Clinic must be filled at
that very moment, praying together with the Guides so that the Lord touches everyone's heart. It is essential that everyone
bring the Clinic to the Meeting. Tell them that each reflection sheet is personal and confidential, including the Spiritual
Clinic, and that no one else will see them.

The Pre-Meeting Themes:

There are four themes which are:

1. The Naaman Phenomenon
2. A meeting that changes
3. Examine yourself!
4. Repentance and forgiveness

It is important that in each Pre-Meeting a testimony is given by some of the guides who already attended the Meeting,
emphasizing three aspects: what their life was like before the Meeting, what happened in it and what their life is like now. In
this way people will identify with someone who has already been touched by God and trust that God can do the same for
them.
To teach each topic, study the Bible passages given and the explanation. Pray to God and believe that He can use you.
 The Naaman phenomenon:
(Minister with videos of Leprosy and the Leprocomio in Rep. Dominican)
2nd Kings 5.1-14.
And Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man in the sight of his master and held in high esteem,
because
Through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. The man was also a brave warrior, but a leper.
And the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken captive a very young girl from the land of Israel, and she
He was in the service of Naaman's wife.
And she said to her mistress, Oh, that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would then cure him of his
leprosy.
And Naaman went in and spoke to his master, saying, This and this has the girl who is from the land of Israel said.
Then the king of Aram said, Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went and took with him ten talents
of silver and
six thousand shekels of gold and ten changes of clothes.
He also brought to the king of Israel the letter that said: And now, when this letter comes to you, behold, you will see that I
have sent you my
servant Naaman that you may cure him of his leprosy.
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to give?
life, so that this man tells me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he seeks quarrel
with me.
And when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent word to the king, saying, Why
have you?
torn your clothes? Let him come to me now, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.
So Naaman came with his horses and his chariot, and stood at the entrance to Elisha's house.
And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored to you,
and you will be clean.
But Naaman was angry, and went away saying, Behold, I thought, Surely he will come to me, and will stop, and call upon
the name
"From the LORD your God, he will move his hand on the diseased part and heal the leprosy."
Are not the Abana and the Pharfar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them
and be
clean? And he turned around and left in a rage.
But his servants came to him and spoke to him, saying: My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing,
wouldn't you have done it? How much more when he tells you: "Wash, and you will be clean"!
Then he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh
became like
flesh of a little child, and was clean.
Naaman exemplifies a great man in the eyes of men, admired and respected, but who had a problem that made him prone to
rejection. Naaman was:
- General of the Syrian Army (the world empire of those days) which made him the most powerful man in the
world
- Big man in front of the king
- I had him in high regard
 - He had given salvation to Syria
-He was extremely brave
- BUT ALSO: leper
Leprosy was the least desired disease in those days. Lepers were separated from the community and despised. They were
looked down upon. Naaman, a man admired and appreciated by everyone, surely hid his illness under his clothes and armor,
thus giving an appearance of greatness, courage and respect. But when in private he had to take off his armor and undress,
he realized the reality of his life: he was a leper.
Many men are like this: they can appear brave, courageous and great, but only God and they know their reality and their
sins. They know that if they are discovered, not only the law of God, but men would reject them, and that is why they hide
them. For Naaman to be healthy he had to humble himself and put aside appearances; He had to be sincere and reveal
himself before God. Through his servant, the prophet Elisha ordered him to immerse himself seven times in the Jordan River
to be cleansed of his leprosy. For that Naaman had to undress, thus discovering his reality. This is equivalent to repenting
and confessing sins; being discovered and stripped naked before God, recognizing the need to be cleansed. Naaman was
healed when he immersed himself in the river of God; In the same way we are cleansed and transformed when we encounter
God and immerse ourselves in his Spirit.
 A Meeting that transforms:
(Minister with video Encounter with God: What it implies)

The lives of men depend on a Meeting. An encounter with God changes people. Examples of this are: Abraham, Noah,
Adam, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Elijah, Isaiah, Job, Peter, Paul, Stephen, John, etc. All of them had a personal
encounter with the Lord, in one way or another, and their lives were revolutionized.
Let's look at the example of Job : a perfect and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil. At the time of trial he
tried to justify himself before God, but when God revealed himself to him he said: “Therefore I spoke what I did not
understand... I had heard you by hearsay; but now my eyes see you. Therefore I hate myself, and I repent in dust and ashes”
(Job 42:1-6) Job exemplifies the righteous person, separated from evil and who justifies himself, but from the day he
repented he prospered and was He restored everything lost. His life changed because he had an encounter with God.
Moses was a brave man who enjoyed enormous success. He was a member of the royal family of Egypt, he had titles, power
and influence and great wealth. Everything seemed like he would be a happy and fulfilled man, but when he met the true
God he found the happiness of his life (Hebrews 11.23-29). That man who one day beat an Egyptian to death became the
meekest man on earth. (Exodus 2:11-15, Numbers 12:3)
The apostle Peter, before meeting Jesus, had the name Simon, which means a reed carried by the wind. This revealed his
personality; changeable, double-minded, impressionable and internally weak. But Christ changed his name and character:
Peter, which means stone (someone solid, firm, and reliable; John 1:42). This impulsive, talkative and impetuous man came
to preach with power the first message of the Christian Church.
Pablo was a legalist, rigorous and brave young man, entrepreneur and visionary, full of courage and strength. His personality
must have been that of a rough, angry and demanding man, to the point that he became a murderer and persecutor of
Christians. Just three days after meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus, he boldly preached the Christ that one day he
persecuted. What changed him? An Encounter with Christ (Acts 9). In the epistles he wrote he reflected the tenderness and
delicacy of his new character in Christ: a man patient in persecutions and completely dedicated to blessing others.
And what about Abraham ? From an impotent old man and a barren old woman, the Son of Promise was born. He must
have been one of those reliable, friendly and diplomatic men, but powerless to fulfill their dreams, lacking motivation and
even afraid of new challenges. God transformed him into a man who trusted and obeyed his calling.
The mafia boss of those days was named Zacchaeus . An encounter with Christ changed him into a giving person oriented
towards those in need. Mary Magdalene was a slut from whom seven demons came out. Both remained as examples that
God can make a disciple of Jesus from someone immersed in sins.
One after another they experienced changes in their lives through an encounter with the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Bartimaeus the blind, Mary the mother of Jesus, Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, Matthew, Lazarus, the 12 apostles,
the 120 in the upper room, the 3,000 at Pentecost, all Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth: “For the earth
will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). Your life will surely
change when you meet God!
Repentance and forgiveness
(Minister with song Tu Perdón from the CD Yo Soy Tu Padre by Marco Barrientos)

Jesus said, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17) Repentance is both a command from God (Acts
17:30) and a gift from God (Acts 5:31). It is a gift, because he has given us the opportunity to repent for the forgiveness of
sins, and it is a commandment because it is something we must do out of obedience to God (Acts 2:38).

To repent is to make a 180º turn and change direction; It is turning towards God, changing the way we think. It is to hate sin,
to feel the way God feels about sin. To confess sin is to agree to the same thing. When we confess our sins we say and feel
about them what God feels and says; We agree with Him about it. God hates sin, but loves the sinner.
Repentance must touch at least three areas of our lives. First, our opinion about sin; We must know that sin is an offense to
God more than a mere morally wrong act. We must turn away from sin because it is something that God does not like and
not only because of the expectation of bad consequences. Second, it must touch our feeling about sin. God loves the sinner
but hates the sin; True repentance comes to feel about sin what God himself feels about it: that is why we cry, lament and
even moan for having sinned. Lastly, repentance must affect our decisions. Genuine repentance produces a real change of
life that is manifest to everyone; The decision to repent will take us in a different direction and will produce actions that
express that we have encountered Jesus.

To repent is to turn to God. Humanity's relationship with God was broken by man's sin. They were both facing each other,
facing opposite directions. But in Christ God manifested his desire to turn to man and be reconciled to him; In Jesus the
grace of God is expressed, the “turning” of God towards humanity. Repentance is the “turning” of man to God, it is the
reaction to the truth of the Lord by confessing sins. God's grace and truth manifest the glory of Christ. That is why the
change of life occurs.

Repentance brings forgiveness. Forgiveness brings grace and this brings life change. Grace and truth walk hand in hand, and
truth makes us more like Jesus.

Peter said, “Repent................... and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38) “So repent and convert, so that
your sins may be blotted out; so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19)

Examine yourself!

As we already said, repentance is key to change, but there is no repentance if one does not know one's sins. That is why it is
necessary to examine ourselves, test ourselves and analyze our lives in the light of the word of God, and thus be confronted.
We must compare our lives to God's standard, to his measure, to his rule, not to our measure or that of others. It is not
enough to be better than other Christians and it is even shameful to compare yourself with the world. God's measure is just
and stable; never change. Paul said that he dared not compare himself with others or measure himself except according to
God's standard (2 Corinthians 10:12), because he would not be judged by men but by God (1 Corinthians 4:1-4). We must be
confronted to change. Job changed when he was confronted, and then he was forgiven, restored, and prospered.

The Bible calls us to examine ourselves in the following passages:

- Proverbs 4:26-27: Tells us that we must examine ourselves in order to turn our foot away from evil
- Psalms 26:1-3: David asks God to search and examine him, because he knew the mercy and truth of God. This teaches us
a great lesson: by knowing the grace of God we can examine ourselves with confidence before Him.
- Psalms 139:23-24: Here also the psalmist asks God to examine and test him to see if there is a path of perversity and to
make it straight.

Areas to heal and/or release:

1. Occultism: 1 Timothy 3:6-7
2. Inheritance: Exodus 34:6-7
3. Sin: 1st John 3:8-10
4. Wounds: Luke 4:18
 Meeting:
The road to freedom
 Genuine Repentance:
Acts 2:38
And Peter said to them: Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

In this world we have all committed sins (Romans 3:23- For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God). But even
so, not everyone has had repentance and without it there is no salvation. To repent is not only to feel bad, but it is to feel pain
for having failed God with our sins. True repentance means a change in the way of thinking and in the heart, recognizing our
sins to never commit them again. In this MEETING we have come to be healed of our hearts, restored of our wounds and to
ensure that we will no longer fall into these faults. But to have a true encounter with God, we have to have true repentance.

TO. Repentance is recognizing that our sin has consequences:

The Bible teaches that our sins are the reason why Christ suffered on the cross of Calvary. Therefore, our true repentance
comes when we understand what really happens on the cross.

THINK FOR A FEW MOMENTS THAT THE SUFFERING OF THE CROSS FELL ON JESUS, BECAUSE OF OUR
FAULT (1st Peter 2:24).

Isaiah 53:5:
But He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The punishment, for our peace, fell on Him, and by
His wounds we have been healed.

1. The crown of thorns- a crown of cursing and poverty because of our sin. They put that on because of you and
because of me.
2. The nails in the feet and in the hands - the helplessness, not being able to do anything, not being able to move
forward despite wanting to.
3. The spankings- the pain for our illnesses.
4. The spear in the side- the wounds in the heart of Christ. Because of us, that happened.
5. The slaps- anger and revenge, things that He did not deserve.
6. The plucked beard- dishonor, contempt, contempt, that He disgusted those who did it to Him.

The ones who deserved all that were us.

True repentance: Feeling pain for having sinned: Today we have to recognize that we have sinned and feel true repentance to
be forgiven. You have to follow the example of King David who, although he sinned, felt bad for having done it (Psalms
51:1-4). Although Job was almost perfect in everything, he repented of his doubt and ignorance (Job 42:5-6).
The prodigal son repented from the heart for having sinned (Luke 15:21).
Tell the Lord that you repent, tell him.
ALL OF US MUST truly REPENT for our sins.
God is merciful to those who repent from the heart.
True Repentance: True repentance brings a decision to sin no more. This is to be converted (Acts 3:19).
1. Repent - may what you have done hurt you.
2. Convert - say you don't want to do it anymore.
If we truly repent, then we are going to convert, that is, we are going to change our way of living. We are no longer going to
serve sin. If true repentance there is no conversion. But everyone who truly repents receives mercy (Psalms 51:17)

 Breaking curses in my life:

Proverbs 26:2
Like the sparrow in its wandering and the swallow in its flight

thus the curse does not come without a cause.

Let's compare 2 men; 1 is a convicted criminal, the other a successful lawyer. The convicted criminal comes from a broken
home, in which his father was an alcoholic and habitual criminal, his mother abandoned him when this man was 2 years old,
his grandfather was the town thief, his great-grandfather was an outlaw from the old west. The lawyer, for his part, his father
was a teacher and his mother a social worker, was raised in the gospel, his grandfather was a pastor and his great-grandfather
was a deacon in his church and the lawyer today serves Christ. The most curious thing is that these people did not know their
grandparents, much less their great-grandparents.

What is curse:

This is not a new concept, it is something that has been around since the beginning of time. In the Bible it is mentioned for
the first time in Genesis 3:14-21. From there the differences between curse and blessing began to be made. Curse is defined
as a word or expression that wishes evil for some person or object. The curse is expected to release a negative and evil force
that acts against happiness and causes the failure of the cursed person. It is also defined as harm or harm to another person
that can cause death. It is something real and it is a sentence. That is, the curse unleashes negative words that oppress and
accuse, lack of protection, misfortune and misery. Comments such as like, like, like, imply that a curse or blessing is being
unleashed on the children of the person being talked about.

The causes of the curse:

1. Disobeying the Word of God, its statutes and regulations, that is, practicing sin: (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)

2. Lack of knowledge: (Hosea 4:6): Practices from the lives of our ancestors (idolatry, divination [reading of
hands, consulting sorcerers, magicians, santeros and witches]); generational diseases (asthma, arthritis, high blood
pressure, cancer and others); covenants of the ancestors to be passed from generation to generation; generational
situations (all women have been raped in the family):
Exodus 20:5b: For I am the Lord your God, strong and jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to
the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.

Having objects in the house that are of occult practices or religiosity (dolls from other countries that have to do with
witchcraft and we buy them without knowing them [a pastor in Puerto Rico bought an umbrella in one of the
Leeward Islands, if I am not mistaken Antigua, as a souvenir for his vacation and began to see problems in his
house happening since he took her home and one day while praying, because it was not something common, God
told him about the umbrella and he was surprised and searching for information , he realized that on that island
there is a cult to the deity of rain in which they take out umbrellas and open them after giving them to each other so
that the deity is happy and sends them rain in a drought and one of his The problem was that in their house one day,
 after some rain, the backyard filled with water and the water entered their house and damaged some belongings and
electrical appliances and where they live is not a flood zone and he was to the only one that that happened to],
rosaries, gifts from relatives that we know or don't even know are passed from generation to generation, ceramic
figures for witchcraft purposes such as faceless dolls and black voodoo dolls or other similar ones) .

3. That is, curses come from not knowing God, from disobeying Him, or from knowing Him and continuing to
do what you want.

How to be free from the curse:

1. Confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (this takes away Satan's legality in our lives and causes us to spiritually
leave his kingdom and therefore, he has no part or lot over us).

2. Recognize that curses have a spiritual root.

3. Break curses through prayer.

4. Repent of actions that would have opened doors for the curse to enter.

5. Forgive ourselves of our actions and sins.

6. Forgive all those who have sinned and done wrong against us (i.e. breaking up roots of bitterness).

7. Clean our houses (and this means, our houses, where we live) of objects that can bring this curse into our lives.

8. Renounce all personal sin or contact with the causes of curses.

9. Renounce the sins of our parents and ask God for forgiveness for those sins that they committed and are having
consequences in our lives.

10. Renounce the ties and pacts that we ourselves committed in the occult or that we know that a family member of
ours committed and ask for forgiveness for this.

Ministering: Breaking Prayer for Generational Curses: Heavenly Father I come before You, in the name of my Lord Jesus
Christ, and I come before You to admit that I am a sinner and I ask You to forgive me all my sins, and now Lord in the name
of Jesus Christ and by the power of his blood I break every family curse, every generational curse and every ancient
covenant in my life from the first, second, third, fourth and even the tenth generation. I claim the blood of Jesus Christ over
my mind, my spirit and my body. I break every yoke and every bondage of my past and cut those ties by the power of the
blood of Jesus. I declare right now that I am free, I claim my freedom at this very moment and the blood of Jesus Christ has
made me free.

Likewise, and in the name of Jesus Christ, today I make the decision to let go of my past with all its traumas, its
disappointments, its bitterness, its hatred, its anger, its lack of forgiveness and desire for revenge. I repent of all these things
and today I close the door of my mind with the blood of Jesus.

Now Lord Jesus Christ, fill my heart with your supernatural joy and peace and I ask that you give me your ability and
wisdom to think and act in a holy way. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

At the End: The ministration of the cross.

 I need a father!

Luke 15:18-20:
"I will arise and go to my father and say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer
worthy of being called your son; make me like one of your workers.'" And getting up, he went to his
father. And while he was still far away, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and lay down.
on his neck and kissed him.

The parable of the Prodigal Son is a beautiful illustration of the son's genuine repentance and the Father's incomparable
love. The love that the Father has for us is too great to understand.

I. The son's decision:

There are 3 important steps in the process of genuine repentance.
A. RENEW YOUR MIND. (v.17): The Son made the decision to abandon the sad situation he was in to return
home for a second chance.
B. MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION (v.18): ¨I will arise and go to my Father...¨
C. CONFESS YOUR SIN (v. 18): Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you
Confession is the result of a broken heart, as a result of recognizing sin. (Psalm 32:5)
II. The father's attitude:
A. HE SAW HIM FROM A FAR (v.20): God always sees us with mercy, no matter how far we have distanced
ourselves from Him.
B. HE WAS MOVED TO MERCY (v.20): Sin has offended God with its actions and caused God to be angry
with us. (Isaiah 1:18). No matter how big the sin is, if we return to the Father, he forgives us.
C. HE CAME OUT TO RECEIVE (v.20): The Father ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. From the
moment we make the decision to repent, the Lord runs to receive each one of us, and extends his arms of love to
protect us and give us security.
D. HE PUT HIM THE BEST CLOTHES (v.22): The dirty clothes represented sin, justice is represented by the
new authority. The new garment symbolizes a complete change in the inner man.
E. AND HE PUT A RING ON HIS FINGER (v. 22): This means that God restores the authority that had been
lost. Jesus has given each of us authority over opposing power.
F. AND HE PUT SHOES AT HIS FEET (v.22): The Father entrusts his sons and daughters with the ministry –
to preach the gospel. For the believer this means: walking in a full relationship with the word of God and being able
to share it with others. The Apostle Paul says:
And shod your feet with the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15)
G. HE RESTORE THE HAPPINESS OF THE SON (v. 23): And let's have a party
The Christian life should be a life full of joy. We reflect it when we dance.
CONCLUSION:
It is necessary for the new believer to understand genuine repentance which means to feel sorrow for our sins and
that our Father who is just and merciful forgives us, no matter how great our sin is.
Genuine repentance allows the Holy Spirit to change our lives.
Ministering: Embrace and take the necessary ministerial measures to minister inner healing.
 The New Man:

2nd. Corinthians 5:17:

So if anyone is in Christ,
new creature is;
old things passed away;
behold, they are all made new.

This passage is one of the most used to imply that something happens and something is happening when we accept Jesus
Christ as our savior.
Let's look at the historical background a little bit about who this letter is being written to: The church that lived in Corinth
was a church where the Power of the Holy Spirit was flowing, but they were abusing this. It was a church where there was a
scandalous condition of sin, in which a son was living with his father's wife, that is, with his stepmother (1st. Corinthians
5:1). They had taken the freedom that is in Christ and transformed it into debauchery. It was a church for which the Apostle
Paul suffered, since it was his daughter, and to whom he already wrote the second letter, since he had seen an omission in the
paternal advice of the first. This second letter indicates a pain as if a father suffered the lost advice to his son, even when he
had good news, that in his cell this church supported him (7:6-16).
Now, let's notice what this whole verse implies:
So that:
This means so that. This gives an implication that something happens and a statement is given that something happens.
If anyone is in Christ:
Being in Christ means that our will is no longer ours, but His. The Apostle Paul says very well that it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me-Galatians 2.20. Now my life, what I liked, is not more, but is what Christ wants from me.
New creature is:
This phrase in Greek is kainë ktisis. A new beginning is made, everything begins again. Ktisis denotes creating, and is used
in Romans 1:20: For his invisible things, his eternal power and godhead, have been clearly seen since the creation of the
world. If there is a new beginning, it means that a transformation is carried out, a change in the life of the sinner, who is now
in Christ, not on his own, this denotes a new creation. This novelty is seen both in their change of thinking and seeing things,
in terms of how people see, and how they see things. You begin to feel sorry for the lost, you begin to feel bad if you do
something you know is bad, and everything you called good before and know is bad now, you don't do. He becomes new, his
mind changes, he perfects himself:
Colossians 3:1-4 says:
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your
mind on things above, not on things on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ,
your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
The person will look for something different, that is why we see that when there are people that God already deals with, they
do not like to be in certain places, they find some behaviors that they no longer like and things like that. It is a change at the
center of our lives.
The old things passed away:
This implies an active aorist verb, that is, of something that happens, an action. It means going the other way, that is,
avoiding some things that we no longer like. That is why what we previously saw as good, we do not necessarily see that way
now.
But what are those old things? Galatians 5:16-21 has a list of these:
16 Therefore I say: Walk in the Spirit, and do not fulfill the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desire of the flesh is against the
Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against the flesh; and these are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you
want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 And the works of the flesh are manifest, which are:
adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousy, wrath, strife,
dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things similar to these; About which I warn you, as I have
told you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The things that seem good to the world, these are the things we avoid! We begin to avoid what we don't like:
Colossians 3 also talks about this:
5 Therefore put to death what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, inordinate passions, evil desires and covetousness,
which is idolatry; 6 things for which the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience, 7 in which you also once
walked when you lived in them. 8 But now you also leave behind all these things: wrath, wrath, malice, blasphemy, dishonest
words from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old self with its deeds, 10 and having put on the new
self, which is being renewed in full knowledge according to the image of him who created it, 11 where there is no Greek or
Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free, but Christ is all, and in all.
In Christ there is no curse, it is not me, but we are Him!
Its fruit is given to us, evidence that we are controlled by Him, by the Holy Spirit:
Galatians 5:22-23:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such
things there is no law.
We are free in Christ!
Romans 8:1:
1 NOW therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but
according to the spirit.
Even when I know that sin exists in me, this is not my God, even when I get sick, I know that Christ already healed me on the
cross, even when I have problems, these cannot be made my God, even when there are no finances, I know that God is my
provider, and even when the problems and everything are still there I know that these will not separate me from the love of
God-Romans 8.35, because my God is greater than these and nothing will separate us from his love!!!
Behold, they are all made new:
We become something new, different. This implies that they are brand new, that they shine, that they are pretty, to stay that
way (ginomai). What looked ugly has started to look pretty, that's why with each passing day we rejuvenate like the Eagle -
Psalm 103:5:
He who satisfies=fills your mouth with good, so that you become rejuvenated like the Eagle.
Since what we did in the past does not please us, we perfect ourselves every day, becoming perfect until we reach the stature
of the perfect man, which will be when we die or when the rapture passes.

 Be guilt-free!

John 8:10-11:
Jesus straightened up and said to him:
Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?
And she answered: None, Lord.
Then Jesus said to him: Neither do I condemn you.
Go away; From now on sin no more.
John 3:17:
Because God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world,
but so that the world may be saved by Him.

Many people live a life bound by guilt because they cannot leave behind the accusation of their sins and faults committed in
the past (Micah 7:19). If we do not learn that we are free from the accusation of our past sins, we will return again to the
same guilt-filled life, and that is what our enemy wants. When a person is not free of guilt, they can turn back, because they
do not believe that God has already forgiven you, and erased all your sins.
A. All people sin:
Is there anyone who has never sinned? The difference is that there are some who have not yet been discovered committing
sin while others have already been. BUT WE HAVE ALL BEEN SEEN BY GOD. And we have to be aware that God saw
us when we sinned and that therefore the enemy accuses us and tells us that we only deserve to be condemned. All sins are
discovered. There was a woman who was caught in the very act of adultery. Some were discovered when they were
committing it, or as they say, “with their hands in the act.” Like the woman in the story in John 8:
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And at dawn, He came again to the temple, and all the people came to Him; and
sitting down, he taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and placing her in the
middle, they said to him: Master, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery. And in the law, Moses commanded
us to stone this class of women; So what do you say? They said this, testing him, to have something to accuse him of. But
Jesus bent down and with his finger wrote on the ground. But when they insisted on asking him, Jesus straightened up and
said to them: He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. And bending down again, he
wrote on the ground. But when they heard this, they withdrew one by one, beginning with the oldest, and left only Jesus and
the woman who was in the middle. Jesus straightened up and said to her: Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned
you? And she answered: None, Lord. Then Jesus said to him: Neither do I condemn you. Go away; From now on sin no
more.
1. Jesus does not accuse her, because He did not come to condemn, but to save.
2. Let's notice that Jesus instead of accusing her defends her. The Bible says that He is our defender from our
accuser.
3. We also see the accusers leave. So too the accuser of our lives has been cast out, in the name of Jesus!
B. We have someone who accuses us:
We are accused and with evidence:
1. The devil- He is the accuser (Revelation 12:10).
2. People- It is possible that there are those who still accuse us of our past.
3. Conscience- We were also accused by conscience. The elders and all those who found her sinning accused the
woman. But we surely know that Satan will continue trying to accuse us as he has done until now.
C. We have someone who defends us:
Jesus is our defender. Just as he defended the woman, so he has defended us: 1 John 2:1:
My little children, I write these things to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous.
 1. Jesus defends the woman.
2. Jesus points out to her that she no longer has anyone to accuse her. Imagine when she thought she would surely
die and suddenly realizes that her accusers are gone. What a beautiful moment! This is what this moment is like for
you.
3. Jesus grants him the peace of forgiveness. He defended the woman from those who accused her. On the cross
Jesus bore your sins and has forgiven them. Now you no longer have anyone to accuse you. Christ said to the
woman: Where are those who accuse you? THOSE WHO ACCUSE YOU ARE ALREADY GONE!!! Jesus tells
you: Nor do I condemn you, go and sin no more.
4. SATAN WAS ALREADY THROWN OUT OF YOUR LIFE:
Revelation 12:10:
And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now has come salvation, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and
the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren, he that accuseth them before our God day and day.
night, has been thrown.
We know and have recognized that we sinned and offended God. But He has already forgiven us. We cannot let the enemy,
people and life continue to accuse us. Today we declare that the accuser has been cast out of our lives and that we are freed
from all guilt by the blood of Jesus.

Ministry: Pray for freedom from guilt

 Be free from rejection!

Psalms 22:23-24:
You who fear Jehovah, praise him; glorify him, all you descendants of Jacob. fear him
you, all the descendants of Israel. Because I do not despise nor disdain the affliction of the
afflicted, nor did he hide his face from him. Rather he heard him when he cried out to him.

This passage speaks that God does not despise you or hide from you, but rather hears you and cares for you. Rejection is a
very difficult thing to face. When we have been rejected, it causes pain and sadness in us. Rejection makes us think that we
are worthless or that we are worth very little.
Types of Rejection:
Of those we love : Isaiah 49:15: Will a woman forget her baby and cease to have compassion for the son of her womb? Even
if they forget, I will not forget you. Psalms 27:10: Even though my father and mother forsake me, yet the Lord will take me
in.
Of people in general and of ourselves : Psalms 22:6: But I am a worm and not a man, an object of disgrace from men and
despised by the people (note how he himself is called a worm because he feels that people treat him like that).
Scorn and rejection make our hearts hurt and many times roots of bitterness sprout in us that make every step we take in life
difficult.
People's rejection of Jesus:
Isaiah 53:3: He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with suffering. And since we hid his
face from him, we despised him and did not esteem him.
But Jesus resisted the temptation of bitterness, and did not allow the enemy to destroy him with a bitter heart, he conquered
for us.
Hebrews 4:15: For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, for he was tempted in every
way just as we are, yet without sin.
Jesus does not reject you:
Luke 5:12-13: While Jesus was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. He saw Jesus and fell on his face
and begged him, saying: Lord, if you wish, you can cleanse me.
Then, he stretched out his hand and touched him saying: I want, be clean! Instantly the leprosy disappeared from him.
1. Lepers were rejected by everyone because of their leprosy. They had to walk apart from the others and
when they came down the street people shouted at them “leper, leper.”
2. Leprosy is a type of sin and defects of human character. We can all feel rejected because of our spiritual
leprosy or the defects that people see in us.
3. Jesus had no problem touching the leper with his holy hand and healing him. What no one had done, Jesus
did. He touched the leper that no one wanted to touch. That's how Jesus is with us. He does not reject us, He
loves us and wants to heal us. He does not despise you or reject you, He loves you and wants to heal you
today.
Isaiah 43:4-5: Since you are highly esteemed in my sight and are honorable and I love you, I will give men for
you and peoples for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you. From the east I will bring your descendants, and
from the west I will gather you.
The Bible says that you are highly valued by God. Today you must forget everything that has happened to you. You must
forget all the rejections, all the belittling that was done to you and be glad that God loves you.
Maybe they didn't take you into account, they despised you, they said ugly things to you, they offended you and marked you.
But today you will heal in the love of Jesus.
10 For with the heart one believes for righteousness; Confession is made more with the mouth for health.
Ministry: After having identified the areas of rejection, which was done in the ministration of the cross, pray for freedom
from memories of rejection in childhood or adulthood.
 Be free from bitterness!
Hebrews 12:15:
Take care that no one fails to achieve the grace of God;
that no root of bitterness springing up,
causes difficulties and many are contaminated by it.

Bitterness is a feeling from which no one is exempt. Bitterness immobilizes our life and prevents us from realizing ourselves
and being able to live the complete victory of Christ Jesus. The good news is that every believer is called to be freed from
bitterness through the power of Jesus Christ.
1 .Causes of bitterness :
The causes are diverse, here I only review some of the most frequent ones.
A. Envy: (Psalm 73:1-3,21): Asaph, a Jewish man, set himself the task of seeing how people who did not take God
into account prospered, while he alone went through tribulation, the result is that his soul was destroyed. filled with
bitterness. Asaph's reasoning was: I try to live an honest life, I try to be honest and things go wrong, while
dishonest, impious people prosper and have no evil. Asaph's question is: Is serving God worth it? Not having the
answer and therefore thinking that he was wasting his time, his soul was filled with bitterness and resentment.
B. A bad family relationship: (Genesis 26:34-35): Esau, one of Isaac's sons, took Judith and Basemath, who were
Hittite women, as wives; They had other social, cultural, and religious customs, which is why they then became a
family problem that filled their parents with bitterness. In truth, there are many people who, due to bad relationships
with their parents or siblings, have let bitterness fill their lives and this situation has had a negative impact on their
personal relationships.
C. Suffering from deception: (Genesis 27:41): Jacob, another of Isaac's sons, taking advantage of the complicity of
his mother and the blindness of his father, supplanted his brother Esau in receiving the blessing and in this way
received the inheritance that It belonged to his older brother; Esau was filled with bitterness and harbored the idea
of killing his brother when his father died. We are not going to analyze here whether Jacob's actions were good or
bad, the truth is that Esau felt deceived and this caused bitterness to arise in his heart. Jacob fled because of fear and
was away from his father's house for more than twenty years, thinking that this way his brother would forget the
deception, but when he returned home the story says that his brother came out to receive him with more than four
hundred men. Time had passed, but the wound remained.
2 . Consequences of bitterness:
A. Bitterness is a root that grows day by day: Some people think that time erases bitterness, but the reality is
different: Time makes bitterness grow. A big mistake is not facing problems and turning your back on them
thinking that they will solve themselves; Whoever acts like this when he looks at reality has a much bigger problem
before him because he is sharpened by the ever-increasing bitterness. Bitterness grows as it is fed by thoughts. The
bitter person normally lives as if time had stopped at the moment they had the problem; when you talk to the bitter
person, they have no topic of conversation other than their problem. When you wake up in the morning your first
thought is the person you resent; When he goes to bed his last thought is: Why did this happen to me? And it is not
unusual that while you sleep you dream of reliving the problem that is fueling your bitterness.
B. Bitterness hinders the grace of God: Those who are bitter cannot enjoy the blessings they have received in
Christ Jesus, because bitterness becomes a weight, an obsession in their life. Bitterness is equivalent to having
foggy glasses, everything we see is distorted, we cannot observe anything clearly. Let us remember Asaph, because
he envied his neighbors he fell into resentment against God. Why did God allow this to happen to me? Why, if God
is almighty, does he allow these things to happen? Thus Asaph reasoned and ended up bitter with himself, with God
and with his neighbor.
C. Bitterness contaminates those around us: (Proverbs 26:21): Through his words the bitter person seeks
adherents to his cause, whoever joins him is his friend, whoever does not agree with him becomes his enemy.
 When talking to a resentful person, we normally end up feeling inside us feelings that we did not have before
towards our neighbor, and if we do not know how to manage these feelings we end up looking badly at our brother
who has done nothing to us because of the words we hear in his against. When we listen to a person talk about their
problem we must keep in mind that they are going to tell us their version of the events, therefore we must try to
read between the lines to find where reality ends and the correct story begins. But most importantly, when talking
to a resentful person it is important not to let ourselves be contaminated because bitterness is something that is
easily transmitted.
The remedy:
True forgiveness. (Ephesians 4:31-32): When we suffer an offense in our life, a root of bitterness is born and the only way
to prevent it from germinating is by uprooting it through forgiveness. The solution is in our mouths, with it we continue to
feed the bitterness, or we deactivate the resentment by forgiving the situation. When we talk about forgiveness we are
referring to true forgiveness, the one that leads us to forget the situation. People say: I forgive but I do not forget; this is
nothing. When we have truly forgiven, we can be reminded of the situation and we will not feel any anger about it, because
we have already been healed of every wound; But if after forgiving we cannot see the person with whom we had the
problem, or we cannot resist being reminded of the problem, or if we talk about the situation with resentment, it is because
the forgiveness has not been true. Now forgiving does not mean that we return to being friends with the person who let us
down, perhaps it is not possible to reach a relationship like this due to the history, but we cannot consider them our enemy
either.
Ministering: Prayer for forgiveness to my enemies: “ I forgive '_______________________.” I release all right to hurt him
for what he has done to me and I leave it in your hands. I give you my feelings of resentment and desire for revenge. Heal
my heart, I pray, in the name of Jesus.”
 Liberation: The bread of the Sons:

Matthew 15:21-28:
Jesus left there and retired to the region of Tire and Sidon.
And behold, a Canaanite woman who had come out of that region began to shout, saying:
Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me; My daughter is terribly possessed.
But He did not answer him a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Take care of her,
Well, he comes screaming after us.
And He answered and said, I have not been sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
But she came near and prostrated herself before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
And He answered and said, It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.
But she said: Yes, Lord; but dogs also eat the crumbs that fall from the table.
their masters.

Then Jesus answered and said to her: O woman, great is your faith; May it happen to you as you wish.
And her daughter was healthy from that moment on.

As children of God we enjoy the privilege of freedom and we understand freedom according to the Ilumina Bible Dictionary:
“The liberation of something that enslaves and prevents man from fully enjoying his Creator. The positive aspect points out
the ability of the free man to find the joy of living in communion with God and receiving divine blessings. In the Old
Testament, the exodus is the prime example of freedom. God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt so that they could
serve Him as a nation and receive His blessings (Exodus 19:3–7). Israel's freedom was not a consequence of human effort,
but of obedience to God (Deuteronomy 28:1-14)

Liberation is found within the ministry of Jesus, the sign to indicate that the Kingdom of heaven had come to us was
precisely the fact that demons were expelled from people. The word demon comes from the Greek daímon or daimonion .
According to the Bible Dictionary Enlighten demons: “Spiritual beings hostile to God and men. In popular Greek thought,
evil spirits were thus designated, and in particular those of the dead who exerted their spell as ghosts. The mention of
demonic activity in the New Testament is concentrated in the Gospels, as if the special emergence of Jesus' earthly ministry
provoked greater satanic opposition. Faced with the evidence of the Lord's miracles, his enemies accused him of "having a
demon" (John 7:20; 10:20), but on the contrary, Jesus acted with his own authority "loosing" those dominated by Satan
(Luke 13:10-17). . His power over the demons confirmed that He is the “strongest,” that He entered the house of the “strong
one” [Satan], bound him, and now “spoils their [demons’] possessions” (Mark 3:27). Jesus' power over demons signaled the
arrival of the Kingdom of God (Luke 11:20). “Jesus shared this victory with his disciples (Luke 9:1; 10:17) and even with
those who were not counted among his close followers (Mark 9:38ff).”

Liberation is rescuing a person from the power of demons. To establish the need for liberation, it is necessary to establish
whether the oppressive activity actually comes from a demon or is a product of the flesh, which is the old nature. The
solution to the problems that arise from the works of the flesh is crucifixion as stated in the Word of God in Romans 6:6 “….
Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be destroyed, so that we should no
longer serve sin," is simply dying to our desires, to our will to live for God and for his construction site.

The solution to problems of demonic influence is to simply expel and cast out the demons (in the name of Jesus) causing
such oppression. Certain aspects that facilitate the detection of demonic influence can be: when the person feels strongly
seduced to do evil, when there is no favorable result despite fasting and praying, when the victim feels strongly harassed and
harassed, when the person feels physically or spiritually tortured, when there is a compulsive desire, when the person feels
enslaved or finally when there are strong physical attacks such as fatigue, in any of these cases the need for liberation
becomes evident.

Demons can act in a person's life only when they are given entry, these entrances are known as open doors and without these
open doors no demon can enter or influence a person, it is a legal right that empowers the demon to move in the spiritual
world against a person. The Legal right in our life is held solely and exclusively by Jesus Christ, but on many occasions
people can grant a legal right to a demon for one of the following reasons: generational curses give access to demons because
it is a legal right transferred from parents to children and in the same way they are transmitted as inheritance, deliberate sin
also opens doors, traumas, occult practices, witchcraft and false religions, rejection, the laying on of hands of a person with
demonic influence, idle words, alliances of the soul such as for example relationships with ungodly people, books, videos
and music and finally mind control. Any of these give access to demonic influence in a person's life, they are legal rights and
just as happens in the physical world, rights are claimed in the spiritual world. If as believers and knowers of the truth we
close every door open to the enemy, we walk submitted to God and doing his will we will walk in freedom and we will be
able to enjoy divine blessings for each and every one of the areas of our life such as in our communion and intimacy. with
Him, in our family, marriage, finances, etc. etc

In conclusion I can say that when Jesus Christ died on the cross the record of decrees that weighed against us was annulled,
Jesus has the only Legal right in our life and we need to assert that right by closing every door open to any demon, separating
ourselves from the evil and exercising the authority delegated by Jesus, in whose name we have power to cast out every
demon as it is established in his word that has given us power and authority to destroy snakes and scorpions and over all the
strength of the enemy, and nothing will touch us and nothing will harm us.

Ministry: Liberation-Free I am Erick Porta

Be filled with the Holy Spirit!

Acts 1:7-8:
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.

It is important because Acts 1.2 says that Jesus ministered by the Holy Spirit.

A. Why is this so important?

When Jesus came as a baby he left all his divine power behind in heaven, Philippians 2.7. When he spoke or performed
miracles he did them as a man who knew how to serve in the power of the Spirit. Jesus said in John 14:12 that today
disciples can do the same works, even greater things by the power of the same Spirit.
B. Are You Filled With The Holy Spirit?
Jesus realized how important this is and in Acts 1:5 he promised his disciples that they would soon be baptized, or you can
say immersed or soaked in the Spirit. Matthew 3.11-17, Acts 2.39.

C. The Holy Spirit brings you Power:

In verse 8 Jesus says that when the Spirit comes they will receive 'dunamis' or explosive power. From 'dunamis' come
powerful words like dynamo and dynamite. God delegates his authority, 'exousia,' to us, but it is useless without the
'dunamis' to activate it. The authority we have is demonstrated by the power of the Spirit. Do you remember how all the
disciples started to flee when Jesus was arrested? Look at what happens to them, especially Peter, when God fills them with
His Spirit. Acts 2:14 onwards.

D. Power Has Only One Purpose:

The Spirit comes for one reason only, which is to make us effective witnesses that Jesus lives today. What is a witness? Let's
assume that two trucks have collided and the drivers blame each other. The police say, Who saw it? They ask for witnesses.
A witness only tells what he saw; He does not give his opinion about what happened before, he does not judge anyone, nor is
he responsible for what happens in court, but a man can go to prison if he does not speak. Being a witness is a responsible
position that God has entrusted to everyone. What have we seen?
Haven't you seen Jesus working in you, forgiving, healing and blessing you? You have a lot to say, right? The Spirit works
through our words convincing people of sin. If they believe and accept Jesus they enter eternal freedom but if they do not
believe they are excluded from eternal life.
Ministry: Baptism in the Holy Spirit to testify.

God's prosperity:
3rd John 2:

Beloved, I wish you to prosper in all things,

and may you be healthy, just as your soul prospers.
Introduction:
Before God a promise has a lot of value. He keeps what he promises. It is something that we must keep clear in our hearts.
However, the Scriptures teach us that the blessings that come from fulfilling divine promises are conditional on our
faithfulness. We cannot pretend that by acting in our own way, ignoring the Lord, there is prosperity in everything we do. It
is evident that our heavenly Father is committed to us but He expects you and I to be committed to Him.

Let's analyze some verses from Deuteronomy 28 and 30 to understand these principles.

I. The foundation of prosperity is in faithfulness to God (9-15).

1. Fidelity to what God teaches in the Scriptures (9 a).

2. Fidelity to put biblical principles and precepts into practice (9 b).

2.1. God wants to make a pact with His people.

2.2. God wants to bless His people.

3. The consequence of fidelity to God is prosperity (9 c).

3.1. Prosperity in personal life.

 3.2. Prosperity in spiritual life.

4. God expects us to commit to Him (12).

4.1. We covenant fidelity to God (13).

4.2. We covenant dependence on God.

II. Infidelity to God steals our blessings (16-21).

1. We cannot be infected by the principles and countervalues that prevail in the world (16, 17).

1.1. A world without God and without law (16).

1.2. A world where occultism prevails (17).

1.3. A world that trusts in everything supernatural, excluding God (17).

2. Turning away from God brings a curse (18-19).

2.1. If we allow it, the world contaminates us (18).

2.2. If we allow it, the world makes our hearts insensitive (19).

3. Opening ourselves to the world separates us from God and brings divine judgment (20).

3.1. We attract the wrath of God (20 a).

3.2. We bring curses in everything we do (20 b).

3.3. We bring distance from God (20 c, 23).

III. It is time to evaluate where we are and turn to God (30:1-3).

1. Let us examine whether there is ruin or prosperity (22-23).

1.1. How we are now determines if we are good in our relationship with God (24).

1.2. Ruin, illness and restlessness do not come alone; have their origin (25-27).

2. It is necessary to turn to God from the desert in which we find ourselves (28, 29).

3. If we turn to God, He will prosper us (30:1-3).

3.1. Sincere repentance is necessary (1).

3.2. Conversion (2 a) is necessary.

3.3. Obedience is necessary (2 b).

3.4. God will have mercy on us (3).

Conclusion:
Infidelity to God robs us of blessings. If we exclude Him from our existence we cannot expect prosperity. The equation is
easy: faithfulness to the Lord is associated with blessings because He has promised it in His Word: The Bible. It is time to
evaluate how we are with the Lord regarding faithfulness. If we discover that we are separated from Him, it is time to
convert, seeking to experience the blessings that come from above, from His Divine Providence.

the apostle, The Teacher is the one teaches revealed doctrine. The prophets must be in the style of the servants used in
ancient times, not liars but always speaking the truth. Ezekiel is the prophet of the Holy Spirit, Jeremiah is the prophet of the
Father and the prophet Isaiah is the prophet of Christ the son of God. The vision of every prophet is to teach, correct and
direct. Ezekiel tells us about the River of God showing the different levels at which it can have each Christian wanting to
flow to the maximum in each life.
John 7:38: Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within him.
The springing of the rivers of living water that he gives to those who are willing. The River belongs to God, it does not
belong to anyone in particular nor does it belong to any particular denomination or ministry. To participate in this river we
fundamentally need two things: OBEDIENCE AND FAITHFULNESS, this way we can enjoy it Ezekiel 47 tells us about
the measurement that God makes.
A. First level: THE ANKLES
Ezekiel 47:3: When the man went out toward the east, he had a cord in his hand. Then he measured 1,000 cubits
and made me pass through water up to my ankles.
The number one thousand in the Word is maturity. It is the level of maintenance, the requirement for Moses was to
take off his shoes due to the pagan customs he had from Egypt, Joshua is also required to do the same, only that in
him it was the desert walk. It is giving up the bad way of living that our parents, grandparents, parents, etc. inherited
from us. Defeat every ancestor of sin. The God who washes the feet, which is the practice of ministration. Serving is
part of the armor because you must have a life committed to God. It is a danger to serve without having an altar.
B. Second level: THE KNEES
Ezekiel 47:4a: He measured another 1,000 cubits and made me pass through water up to my knees.
This shows us the need to pray. We must do so to demand fidelity of service, it calls us to go to the most excellent
ministry. Revival will come only by praying. We must be crying out in this end time because times are bad.
Romans 8:26 And likewise, the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses; because how we should pray, we do not
know; but the Spirit himself intercedes with groanings that cannot be uttered.
It calls us to intimacy.
C. Third level: THE LOINS
Ezekiel 47:4b: Then he measured another thousand, and made me pass through the water up to my loins.
It is the level of giving children to God. Without a doubt we must evangelize and this is giving the fruit that God is
expecting from us. There will be generation and this will make us have children for the Kingdom of God. The loins
are the deposit of the seeds, at this level we will reach the final harvest.
 D. Fourth level: UP TO THE NECK
Ezekiel 47:5: He measured another thousand, and it was now a river that I could not cross, because the waters
had risen so that the river could not be crossed except by swimming.
It is the level of full maturity, here there is no longer any resistance to God's desires and the lands are subject.
Elijah had experiences that are not equal to another because of the disposition of this man. Peter, flooded and
saturated by the Holy Spirit, managed to reach thousands of souls in a supernatural way; only with the shadow of
these men were people healed. God's cybernetics, which is the science that studies nervous connections in living
beings. The fifth level is springing up in God. Deuteronomy 9:9 speaks of the commitment of ministers so that God
can bring his Glory to man.
The results in the river or being in Him (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15-20):
1. There will be trees, which is a type of the five ministries.
2. There will be help to the ministry.
3. The waters will be healed, ministration.
4. There will be living beings.
5. There will be many fish, these are the souls that will come through effective evangelism.
6. There will be a river that is a type of the fullness of life in Christ through His Holy Spirit.
7. There will be fishermen, types of the Lord's apostles.
Results of not being in the River:
1. There will be swamps: They are those that sink and do not develop fully in the ministry.
2. There will be a proliferation of plagues (people will be carnal not spiritual).
CONCLUSION: God called us in the sanctuary to remain in the River, but barefoot.
John 4:14: But whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will be in
him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.
Ministering: Washing of Feet and seal of leaders (no casting or anointing yet, just seal).
 The vision:
Habakkuk 2:2-3:
Then the LORD answered me and said:
Write the vision and record it on tables,
so that he who reads it can run.
Because it is still a vision for the appointed time;
He rushes towards the end and will not disappoint.
Even if it's late, wait for it;
because it will certainly come, it will not take long.

Introduction:
TO. A people without vision perishes. We must know where we are going and why.
8. Winning, consolidating, discipling and sending is not a process designed by some man. It is the work that Jesus
developed in his earthly ministry.
9. Winning and discipling souls is not an option for Christians, it is truly a mandate, a life or death commitment.
d. We either win souls or become fruitless Christians.

Then Jesus said to them again: “Peace be with you! “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
John 20:21

I. Win (Matthew 24:14)

A. From the first moment Jesus called his disciples he gave them a clear calling vision. Come after me and I will
make you fishers of men.
B. They knew they were called to win souls. How were they going to do it? Where were they going to start?
Along the way it would be explained to them.
C. The first step was: Come after me. This was a requirement. They determined to obey and learned to follow
their leader.
D. If God gave the most valuable thing he had and Jesus gave everything; his life, to win souls. What should we
do?
E. The apostle Paul said: I have become a slave to gain greater numbers. 1 Corinthians 9:19.
F. Let us conclude this point by recognizing that we have the responsibility to dedicate ourselves to winning souls.
II. Consolidate (Acts 2:46-47, 5:42):
A. It is giving firmness to a new convert. Secure it completely, strengthen a life more and more. It is to take it
from the moment of your conversion until you walk alone.
B. It is an effective process for forming disciples.
C. It is the care and attention that we must give to the new believer to reproduce in him the character of Christ.
D. Consolidation requires work and effort (Colossians 1:28-29).
E. This is the second step and is as important as the first, since without it our fruit does not remain (John 15:16).

III. Disciple (Matthew 28:19):

A. This is the third step where those consolidated have already learned to walk on their own, now it is necessary
 to begin preparing them to be disciples of Christ.
B. A disciple must be formed. Go into all the world and make disciples.
C. We believers must become nurses who raise mature children.
D. Nurse is a woman who raises children that she did not give birth to.
E. It is to become a teacher of those we take as students.

IV. Send (Matthew 10:7-8):

A. Jesus took Peter when he was an ordinary man, turned him into a great leader. As it did?
B. With this process we are talking about. First he won it, then he consolidated it, then he discipled it and finally
he sent it.
C. Sending is equal to developing the qualities that each man and woman have to be leaders.
D. It is to bring all believers to their highest level spiritually, emotionally and intellectually.
E. It is discovering within each individual their gifts and helping them develop their greatest potential (Luke
10:2).

V. The Cellular Church:

A. The early church met in homes and in the temple. You have to understand that the houses of that time were
much smaller than those of today.
B. Why did the church decide to do its ministry activities in homes? It was the example that Jesus had given them
and it was a strategy of conquest.
C. Jesus said: where two or three are in my name, there I will be. Matthew 18:20.
D. Transferring it to our modern era, it is a team effort, where we have taken the analogy of the function of a cell
to explain cellular work.
E. The cell is composed of: centrosome, nucleus and chromosome = leader, host and the
cell participants.
F. Fishing in Israel was carried out as a team: Two boats threw a net, it had lead on the banks so that it would sink,
when they had already thrown it they rowed in circles to catch more fish, meanwhile from the beach a group of men
They threw stones so that the fish would go towards the net.
G. This was teamwork, a cellular vision.
H. All this is a working model that the Lord Jesus left us in his ministry.

Ministering: The Earth Will Be Full: Marco Barrientos

 Post-Meeting:
Preserving your victory
 Why Post-Encounters?
In the Encounter a person is ministered, healed and liberated. But it is necessary to teach this person not to fall into what
Christ saved them from. It is necessary to teach him to remain pure and holy and not fall again into wounds, rejections or
influences of the devil, and that is the reason why the Post-Encounter is taught.
The Post-Encuentro are meetings after the Encounter, which aim to preserve the fruit achieved and teach them to grow. In it,
people are taught how they should walk in their new life in Christ, enjoying the freedom that He has granted them. There are
three weekly meetings of 60 minutes each.
The Post-Meeting is extremely important. It is like the diet that the doctor prescribes to his newly operated patient to recover
and avoid future complications. Or like the advice given to a prisoner on the day he is released so that he does not commit
another crime that would bring him back to prison. In the Post-Encounter, practical instructions are given on how to remain
in righteousness and fulfilling the will of God.
Jesus gave Post-Encounters:
On many occasions we see Jesus giving instructions to people with whom he had had an encounter. He not only healed the
sick or freed the demon-possessed, but he taught them principles of life that would separate them from evil paths.
An example is the demon-possessed Gadarene. Once free from the demons, he begged Jesus to let him be with him. But
Jesus did not allow it but told him to return home (Mark 5.18-19). Jesus sent him back to his parents, who are his authority,
to teach the young man that he should submit and obey, instead of being rebellious, which is what surely opened the doors to
the devil in his life.
Other times we see him sharing with people who had just received a miracle. We read that he sat with Matthew in his house
after he called him (Mark 2:13-15), dining with Lazarus after he called him from the grave (John 12:1-2). In all these cases
we see our Lord sharing principles that help preserve the benefits acquired in an encounter.
Follow-up:
The meeting guides must follow up on the people who make up their workshop and verify that they attend the post-meeting.
The effectiveness of the work of the coordinator and the guides regarding the vision will be measured in relation to the
people from the meeting that they deliver to the Leadership School.
Guides must motivate people to continue in the river of God until they become fishers of men. To do this, they must strive to
renew the minds of the participants and transmit to them the vision of winning this world for Christ.
During the meetings of the meeting team in the weeks that the post-meetings last, the following must be verified:
I. If the people who were supposed to be baptized have done so.
J. If everyone has been assigned a group and has attended it.
K. If they have already participated in a Church service.

It is of utmost importance that everyone gets involved in the vision of the Church, so in the Posts meetings this should be
taught and verify that everyone attends a group and thus continue the discipleship process.
The themes of the post-meeting:

The sermons must be practical and fully applied to people's daily lives. At the end of each sermon, the topic taught should be
ministered to. The topics have been developed as studies and quite a few quotes have been included, most of them only for
reference or biblical support. You must study the subject and outline your own preaching, not giving or reading all the
quotations, but those necessary so that the hearers may receive edification. The topics discussed during the Post-Meetings
are the following:

1. Overcoming adversities : This topic teaches how to overcome the adversities that they will face when leaving the
Meeting. It is important to emphasize to those attending the Meeting that although they have experienced a change, the
people and circumstances when they return will remain the same as when they left for the Meeting. Furthermore, many of
them will go through trials, temptations or persecutions that they must learn to face and overcome. Aware of this, this topic
is taught to you first.

2. Maintaining health : Healing wounds is not enough. They need to learn how not to be harmed again. This topic clearly
shows the responsibility that every person has for their inner health, and how to deal with offenses or rejections. It is
emphasized that we will all suffer offenses or reasons for rejection, but that those we allow will harm us. Our reaction to
offenses is what determines the condition of our soul.

3. Firm in freedom : This tells the believer what to do to avoid falling captive again to the things of the devil. Your
responsibility to believe and obey the will of God written in His Word so as not to return to Satan's possession, captivity, or
oppression is emphasized.
 Overcoming adversities:

The purpose of adversities:

God is not opposed to adversity in our lives. These are part of the plan that God has for us and their purpose is to teach us to
grow and develop as children of God. Without adversity we would not learn to be winners, to overcome, to fight and win. In
the midst of them, faith in God is strengthened and we are encouraged to get closer to God.
Adversities in themselves are not really a problem. The problem lies in the attitude we take towards them. If we learn to see
adversities with the eyes of God we will not despair but rather we will face them with confidence and security and we will
emerge victorious. Adversities are an opportunity to get closer to God and learn to trust in his faithfulness. As Isaiah 43:2
says: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you
pass through the fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flame burn on you.”

Supporting the tests:

Tests come from God and are like exams from the teacher to the student evaluating trust in his word and in his person. The
Bible itself tells us that we will go through various tests as part of our walk with Christ. 1 Peter 1:6-7 helps us understand
more about trials by explaining:
1. Trials are for a little while : They will not last beyond what God knows you can endure (1 Corinthians 10:13)
2. Trials are necessary: The Bible teaches us that trial produces patience and that patience forms our character
(James 1:3)
3. Trials produce affliction : This is to show what is in the heart, since it is in pressure that what is inside the
heart comes to light to be cleansed by God (Deuteronomy 8:1-3)
4. The tests are diverse That is, they are varied, of different appearances and forms. We must be prepared to be
tested in various areas of our lives. (Example: Job)
5. God tests faith: God tests your faith, not holiness. He does not want to make you sin but rather examine your
heart. You should not confuse testing with temptation.
6. The Fire of Trial: Like gold in fire, faith is tested in afflictions and trials. Just as the heat of fire makes the
impurities of gold come to the surface, achieving greater purity in it, trials reveal the impurities of our hearts to
change us (Proverbs 17:3).
7. The blessings of enduring the test: Enduring and passing tests produces blessings. Giving glory to the Lord
Jesus Christ is one. Others are patience (James 1:3), the character and love of Jesus (Romans 5:3-5), and the crown
of life (James 1:12).
Tests can come in different forms, but here are some quotes that will help you if you need them:
• In diseases: 1 Peter 2:24, Jeremiah 33:6
• Financial problems: Philippians 4:19, 3rd John 2
• Attacks of the devil: 1 Peter 5:8-9
• Fear or fear: Proverbs 29:25, 1st John 4:18
• Fear of failing God: Jude 24, Isaiah 43:2
• Family reconciliation: Matthew 18:32-35, Malachi 4:6
• Fear of not being in the truth: John 17:17, John 14:6
• Temptation: Romans 8:37, James 1:12-15
• Indecision: Psalm 32:8-9, Romans 8:14
Advance in all adversity:
On your path you will find many other adversities. But do not be afraid, the Lord said: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
do not faint, because I am your God who strengthens you; I will always help you, I will always uphold you with the right
hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10). Some other adversities you will face are:
1. Family opposition: In some cases family members do not understand our decision due to tradition or fear of society,
causing rejection or imposition. You must at all times present a testimony of genuine change, being the serving head of the
home, if you are the father, a submissive woman, if you are the wife, or honoring your parents, if applicable. Trust that he
who believes in Jesus his house will be saved (Acts 16:.29)
2. Offenses or persecutions for being Christian: There are those who despise Christians, out of envy, resentment or
religiosity. The world even hated Jesus. Jesus said that you are blessed when others offend you or persecute you because
great will be your reward in heaven (Matthew 5:10-12; also 1 Peter 4:14 16)
3. Bad testimony from other Christians: It is not an adversity in itself, but it is a weapon that the devil takes advantage of
to distance us from God, convincing you of the hypocrisy of everyone due to the error of a few. The Bible advises to keep
your eyes on Jesus and not on men (Hebrews 12:1-2).
4. Guilt for having sinned: Although it is not God's will, Christians still commit sins and must have the confidence to
come to the Lord, repent, and confess their sins so that they may be cleansed and forgiven (1 John 1:9). Just as one day when
you were far from God, He forgave you all your sins, now that you are His son, how much more will He not do for you?
5. Religiosity: It is placing trust in a certain religious institution or in pious procedures to reach God. The Bible teaches
that to be saved you only need Jesus (Acts 4:12) and that He is the only mediator between God and men (1 Timothy 2:5).
You should avoid entering into religious discussions and present the one who can save everyone's life, Jesus Christ. He is a
person not a religion.

Joyful in trials:
Can you be happy in the middle of a test? Definitely yes. The Bible says: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that
has come upon you, as if some strange thing were happening to you, but rejoice in that you are partakers of the sufferings of
Christ, so that you may also rejoice at the revelation of his glory.” with great joy.” (1st Peter 4:12-13). The joy in our hearts
will cause us to constantly praise God in an attitude of gratitude for his faithfulness. This joy keeps you full of love and
confidence and you will emerge from the trial as soon as possible. An example of this is Habakkuk 3:17-19.
Preserving the health of my soul:

What are wounds of the soul?

Many have identified the wounds of the soul as the traces left on the heart by offenses, abuse or rejection by other people;
something like comparing physical ailments to emotional suffering. The Bible calls this the pains or ailments of the soul
(Psalm 103:2-3).
Thoughts, emotions and will reside in the soul. Therefore, every injury affects these three areas. Your mind, because you
think badly of yourself or others; emotions, because you feel emotions of rejection, guilt, loneliness, depression or bitterness;
and decisions, because it leads you to choose to feel bad and do bad to others.

The true origin of the wounds:

Wounds of the soul are the result of a bad reaction to offenses or rejections. As a human, you will always be exposed to
offenses from others. But it is your reaction to these that damages and hurts you. The apostle Peter wrote it like this: “And
who is he who can harm you if you follow what is good?” (1st Peter 3:13).
You must be responsible for keeping yourself healthy and without wounds in your soul. Just like your body, you are solely
responsible for keeping your soul healthy. Your responsibility is to believe and obey God. Believe who you are in Christ.
Obey him in forgiving, blessing, honoring, supporting and loving your neighbor.
What Jesus taught us:
Jesus taught us the way to stay healthy. At no time did he offer us that no one would offend us. We are all constantly
exposed to offenses or rejections; “For we all offend many times” says James 3:2. On the contrary, He taught us to face
difficult situations and emerge victorious from them. As someone said, “we can't stop it from raining but we can avoid
getting wet.”
Jesus said: “Do not resist him who is evil, but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; And
whoever wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him also have your cloak, and whoever forces you to carry you for a mile,
go with the two.” (Matthew 5:38-41)
In other words, Jesus taught us to overcome evil with good. The key is not to resist the bad guy. “Resist” is to oppose or turn
against someone. We resist the bad guy when, motivated by our pride, we respond to him, offend him or “repay him in
kind.” We think we are resisting him when we do not forgive and hold grudges and many more. All of this we do must be
eliminated from our lives if we want to be free and live with love, joy and peace in our hearts.
Let's review the verse again and we will see that three actions that can hurt us are mentioned here, also explaining how we
should react to them:

1. “ …but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other too.” This is when someone hurts us
emotionally. Jesus told us to turn the other cheek, not to return evil. Giving someone else the hurt will only increase
the pain in you and others, and would make that other person feel offended again and seek revenge. It's like a
vicious circle. This must be ended through peace and reconciliation. Obeying Jesus will cause him to put a shield
on our soul and prevent us from suffering.
2. “ ...and whoever wants to sue you and take your tunic, leave your cloak too.” This is when someone wants
to fight, accusing us, criticizing us, or gossiping about us. Also when someone wants to abuse our rights. Jesus
commands us not to resist Him but to renounce our rights and yield. In other words, when someone curses us we
must bless them, thus overcoming evil with good. Jesus commanded us to be peaceful in the midst of strife.
3. “ ..., and whoever forces you to carry a load for one mile, go with him two.” It is going against our will,
forcing us to comply with someone else's will, making us the person we really are not. This is when someone
violates our personality by forcing us to think or do what we don't want. Jesus commands us not to oppose them,
but to love them and do good to them. Surely this same person is doing it because someone else did it to them
before, and if we don't break the circle, we will do it later, increasing the pain in others. Because of what Jesus has
commanded us to do with that person as he would have wanted to be done to him. By doing good it will surely be
broken and we will not only avoid our own evil but we will win that other person.

As Ephesians 4:31-32 says: “Let all bitterness, wrath, wrath, clamor, and slander be put away from you, and all malice. But
be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.”

The example of Jesus:

Jesus taught nothing that he himself did not do. He was mistreated and offended like no other person in human history. All
the anger and resentment of the devil and all his desire to harm and offend him were unleashed on him. But Jesus never
returned evil for evil, nor insult for insult. He endured the mockery, the rejection, and the beatings and was still able to ask
God: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
No one has suffered more than Jesus. But no one knows the fullness of peace more than he himself. He knows your
sufferings. He himself suffered your pains and suffered the punishment so that you could have peace. He understands you in
every suffering and identified with you suffering your wounds himself. But he himself has taught us to maintain a healthy
soul. He not only achieved your freedom, he also teaches you to enjoy it.
 Firm in freedom:

Trust in the freedom that Christ won for you:

Freedom from darkness is not something you gain through a long and tedious process. While it is true that some people are
slow to discover it, Christ, through his work on the cross and his resurrection from the dead, has already obtained victory
over the devil and made you free from all the work of the enemy. You must believe it and exercise it, until it is part of your
daily life. The Bible says: “For this purpose the Son of God appeared, to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8), and
“…spoiling the principalities and powers, he made a public display of them, triumphing over them in the cross” (Colossians
2:15).
Jesus himself said that everyone whom the Son sets free would be truly free (John 8:36). So by receiving Jesus and believing
in his work on the cross you have obtained true freedom from all influence or oppression of the devil. At the moment of
conversion you passed “from the power of Satan to God” (Acts 26:18). Now what it is up to you is to remain firm in that
freedom that Christ granted you, exercising confidence in his victory and in the power that he has delegated to you
(Galatians 5:1).

Understand that the devil is your enemy:

Since you have been with Jesus the devil has become your enemy. The Bible teaches that the devil walks around like a
roaring lion, seeing who he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). The good news is that you too are his enemy and Christ has given you
the power to defeat him.
Now, he knows that if you are in constant communion with God it would be difficult to make you sin, and that your trust in
God would keep you close to his protection. So the first thing he will look for is to hinder your relationship with the Lord,
something like cutting off the source of supply. The devil knows that without faith it is impossible for you to please God, and
also that you could not exercise the power and authority that we have in Christ without faith. Their strategy will be to sow
doubts in you. He will make you doubt your salvation and your position in Christ and deceive you regarding the Word of
God. He does all this by planting thoughts in you that cause doubt, deception or confusion. This will later lead you to sin.
The same passage from 1 Peter tells us how we can overcome him: “... whom resist him steadfast in the faith.” So the way to
beat it is to “Resist it”; This is opposing, standing against the devil in a firm and immovable way, solid in faith. Since the
devil's attack is through thoughts, the way to counter it is with full firmness in the truth of God.

Jesus also faced temptations:

Jesus was also tempted by the devil. The Bible says that he was tempted in every way like a man but he never sinned
(Hebrews 4:15)
The scriptures recount the devil's temptation of Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). At his water baptism, the Father
had spoken from heaven to Jesus, telling him that he was his Beloved Son, in whom he was well pleased (Matthew 3:17).
Forty days later the devil approached him and tempted him to prove the truth of God's words; Satan attempted to sow doubt
and distrust in the relationship between the Father and the Son. He said, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to
become bread” (Matthew 4:3). Jesus found himself in temptation. The devil had been like a roaring lion looking for an
opportunity to tempt him and he found it the moment Jesus felt hungry. The temptation was not to turn stones into bread, for
this is not a sin; Jesus himself later turned water into wine. The temptation was for him to doubt the Father and try to verify
the veracity of his words through a supernatural act. Jesus had two thoughts to follow; He could believe the Father what He
had told him at baptism or doubt it and try to turn stones into bread. But he decided to believe in God and said “It is written:
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
Jesus made it clear who would believe. He said he would live by the Word of God and trust him. He made it clear that even
in time of need he would continue to trust and wait on his Father. And he left us an example of how to remain firm in
freedom. He answered the devil: It is written.
“ It is written” is the way of life of a Christian in victory. It is not a magic phrase that we foolishly repeat. It means obeying
and believing only in the Bible as the word of God.
The temptations:
Temptations are the devil's schemes in which he seeks to make you fall into sin and thus separate you from God. According
to James 1:12-15, it is not God who tempts you, because he is Holy and He does not want you to sin. The Devil is the
tempter, who wants you to sin.
This same quote tells us about the temptation process:
1. Attraction : To avoid attraction you must not provide for the lusts of the flesh (Romans 13:14 ).
2. Seduction : is when this attraction envelops you, convincing you in the flesh to commit sin. Do not satisfy the
lust of the flesh, but walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16 )
3. The conception of sin : When the desire to commit sin is born and the opportunity to do so or externalize it is
sought. The apostle Paul recommends that we put off the old man that is corrupted according to deceitful desires
(Ephesians 4 : 22-24)
4. Sin is born : It is when the sinful action or omission is committed. The Bible says that sin is everything that
breaks God's law (1st John 3 : 4), and not doing good knowing how to do it (James 4 : 17).
5. Consummation or consequence : The result of sin, which is separation from God and death (Romans 6 : 23).

Resist firm in faith:

The Bible repeatedly commands us to resist the devil to maintain freedom. Ephesians 6:13 says “Therefore take up the whole
armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having finished all, to stand.” James 4:7 advises us to
“Submit yourselves therefore to God; Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
You remain firm when you submit to God in his fear, that is, when his word governs your life, regulating your thoughts,
your feelings and your actions. Sin is disobeying God. Victory is submitting to God through obeying His Word. “It is
written” is the way of life of every person who lives firmly in freedom. Jesus said you would know the truth and the truth
would set you free. (John 8:32). Knowing, believing and submitting to God's truth is what keeps you above the devil
My new life in Christ:

From death to life:

When man sinned and disobeyed God he experienced death, just as God had warned him. Death means separation. This
death was both physical and spiritual. Spiritual death is the separation of man from God, and physical death is the separation
of the Spirit and soul from the body. Romans 3:23 says that the wages of sin is death.
Every human being is born dead spiritually and with the certain expectation of physical death as well (Romans 5 : 12). But
Christ came to give life to humanity and life in abundance (John 10:10). He came into this world bringing a message of
salvation and eternal life, declaring that whoever believed in Him would have eternal life (John 3:16). That was why Jesus
said we must be born again, of the Spirit (John 3:3). The first birth, the physical one, was the product of the union of the
parents, who transmitted their bodily characteristics to us. But everyone who is born physically is dead spiritually (Romans
5:12); That is why we must be born again, a second time, spiritually. We must be born of the Spirit to have spiritual life;
Jesus said: “That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6). If we want to enter
the kingdom of heaven we must be born from the heavenly, just as to enter this world we were born from the earthly.
Since sin was what separated us from God, Jesus appeared preaching that everyone should repent to enter the kingdom of
God. Repentance is making a 180º turn; turn our backs on sin and the world, on our carnal man and turn to God; Genuine
repentance is one who feels the same way about sin as God does; Someone who repents hates the sin he committed,
confesses it to God, humbles himself before Him and asks for forgiveness.
When we repent and convert to Jesus we are born again. This happens by faith in the word of God and by the power of the
Holy Spirit:
- James 1:18: God made us reborn through his living word
- 1 Peter 1:23: We are born from the Word of the Lord
 - John 3:3 and 6: We are born of the Holy Spirit. When we believe his word and confess our sins, trusting in his
promise of forgiveness and eternal life, the Holy Spirit begins to operate in us, creating in our spirit a new man,
created in the image and likeness of God (Ephesians 4:24 )
- 2nd Corinthians 5:17: From that moment we are new, and old things pass away.

What happens in the new birth:

In Acts 26:18 we read what Jesus commanded Paul to preach to the Gentiles. He emphasized the main points of what
happens to someone who is born again:
1. Eyes are opened: Our spiritual eyes are opened and the darkness in which we lived due to sin and the work of
the devil is removed (John 9:39, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4)
2. They convert from darkness to light: Conversion is turning away from the paths of darkness and walking
along the paths of light.
3. Conversion of the power of Satan to God: When man sinned, he remained under the dominion of Satan, but
when he receives Jesus he passes into the kingdom of God, under the authority of Jesus Christ.
4. Through faith in Jesus we receive forgiveness of sins: We believe that our sin deserved punishment, but that
Jesus died for our sins, receiving our punishment. By believing in Him we accept that the debt with God was settled
with Jesus.
5. We receive an inheritance among the sanctified: With Jesus, God also gave us everything we need (Romans
8:32) and made us his heirs (Romans 8:17). That is why we can ask and expect from God his spiritual and material
provision in this world and the next.

When we are born again and receive Jesus, God gives us the power or right to be called his children (John 1:12), testifying to
this by the Spirit he has given us (Romans 8:16)

Our responsibility in the new life:

God has given us salvation and a new life, he gave it to us by grace. But this does not eliminate our responsibility to care for
it and live according to what pleases God. Ephesians 4:22-24 exhorts us to leave the old man and be renewed until we put on
the new man, created according to God.
By being born again our old man was not eliminated; His destiny was changed, but the old man remains there and it is our
responsibility to put it aside and live according to God. The old man is the flesh, the new is led by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).
Both are opposed and we must choose one.
Colossians 3:9-10 commands us to put off the old and put on the new. This is achieved by following God and His Word. We
must guard our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). We must put aside the works of the flesh and let the
Spirit bear its fruit in us. We must bear witness to a new life and live according to what God expects of us. He who is born of
God does not practice sin (1st John 3:9) and overcomes the world (1st John 5:4).

 Appendix 1:
General Instructions and Organization:
A. General instructions:
1. An encounter is leading the person to experience an internal and external change of life, through the work he did on
the cross of Calvary and by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a radical change in a short period of time.
2. The objectives of the meeting are:
a. Know and experience God's plan of salvation and love for your life.
b. Restore your inner life, forgiving and feeling the forgiveness of others through Jesus.
c. Receive liberation.
d. Experience the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
e. Change in all areas of your life, being a witness in the different media where you operate.
f. Understand the vision of the ministry and get involved in it until you reach your development as a leader.
g. Be radical and stay under the will of God.
3. They can organize meetings for men, women or young people (mixed). Each prospect must take the 4 pre-
encounter lessons, which are aimed at beginning to heal hearts and break curses. These are given individually or in
groups to the new believer.
4. The preparation begins 3 days before the Encounter with the Daniel Fast (see appendix 2 to understand how to
prepare the Encounters and plenary speakers around this).
5. It consists of a weekend (Friday 8:00 pm to Sunday 12:30 pm). The meeting officially ends on Sunday at the
church meeting, therefore the meeting participants must remain until this time.
6. It will be held in an appropriate place free of all types of distractions. The meeting is completely internal, no one
can leave the place where it takes place.
7. No person should be forced to attend, there must be total freedom and willingness.
8. Do not take people who have not received the pre-encounter teachings.
9. General instructions:
a. The meeting will be organized at least two and a half months in advance.
b. A coordinator is appointed (see point e), who will prayerfully search for the motto of the meeting with its
biblical reference. Read point a.
c. The coordinator will select leadership or brothers of good testimony to help with the function of guides for the
meeting (refer to point f), in addition to diligently teaching the talks for the guides.
d. The meeting team (coordinator and guides) must establish the general and specific objectives of said meeting
to work until they are achieved. Read points b and c.
e. Weekly meetings will be held to delegate and supervise functions, prepare and minister to those who will be
the guides, and pray strongly for the event. Read point c.
f. Encounters must fill out the registration form for the meeting. See appendix 5.
g. Chains of fasting and prayer must be established to ensure the success of the meeting; as well as delegate the
topics of the meeting (see point 7) to some guides with experience in leadership (pastors and/or church leaders can
be invited to minister at the meeting - but not before having gone to a meeting themselves -), for the consideration
of the General Pastors or Apostles of the ministry and the coordinator). Note: It should be considered that the
teaching of the word and ministration occupy a preeminent place in the meeting, therefore we suggest
preaching the topic in 25 or 30 minutes and the same time to minister to the people.
h. Read the Meeting Rules carefully to the participants before leaving for the Peniel (meeting place) to avoid
misunderstandings during the course of the meeting.
i. The “nights of silence” are key to being able to rest and avoid distractions, thus helping not to break with the
movement of the Holy Spirit in the encounterrs.
 j. The devotional, something to be done individually by each encounterer, is important to be able to analyze the
spiritual life of each encounterer. Brief meetings can be organized to address the topics covered in the Encuentro
therapies.
k. The guide must be vigilant of the people under his care during the entire time of the encounter, to ensure that
the encounterer is receiving a blessing, otherwise he will have to take time aside to find out what the person's
problem is and motivate you to open your heart.
Get the video “El Cruce” in advance, so you can present it.
We believe in the Lord that God will give you success in the work of meetings if we are faithful in putting it into practice.

B. Guide preparation:
When starting the Pre-Meetings, the Meeting guides and the Work Team must be defined. These must meet weekly to meet
and organize the Meeting, but above all to intercede for each of the attendees and minister to each other. One week before
the Meeting, there must be a week of continuous intercession, in which one must fast every day. This is to stand in the gap
for the people attending the Gathering (Ezekiel 22:30).
The guides must be prepared during the week that the Pre-Meetings last. They must be instructed in what they are going to
do, how to minister and in holiness.

C. Meeting Rules:
1. Obey in everything the leaders and guides of this Meeting.
2. Accept the ministration and receive everything that is told to me.
3. Do not bring cell phones.
4. Do not bring cameras.
5. Do not bring MP3s that can take photos. If they have music on them, it will only be Christian music.
6. Do not bring digital recorders.
7. Keep my family members aware that they cannot call unless it is a true emergency (serious emergency illnesses,
deaths, and the like).
8. Do not interrupt unnecessarily.
9. Maintain conduct without blemish or stain during the 3 days of the Meeting.
10. Do not spread information about what happened here (law of silence).
11. If I go to the bathroom or drink water, I have to raise my hand and wait for a guide to take me.
12 .Wait your turn for everything that involves.
13 .Keep my area clean.
14 .Be ready to receive from God in all therapies (ministrations).
15 .Understand that this is a commitment to God rather than to men.
16 .Do not leave the Meeting area.
The leaders and guides at the Gathering will provide a telephone number to use to be contacted in case of a family
emergency. The Encuentrista who has to leave due to a family emergency will have his Encuentro fee returned but will have
to go through it again.
Neither House of Restoration and Adoration (CReAd) as a ministry nor its Apostles nor any of its pastors or leaders are
responsible for negative effects caused in my life due to attacks from the enemy created by my disobedience, bad parenting,
lack of respect, lack of standards or others produced similar to these. This will be entirely my responsibility.

Vision Seminar:
At the end of the post-meetings, the vision seminar must be given to each person who attends it. This can happen for a full
day or for several sessions over a week.
In this seminar each one will understand the reason why they were liberated by the Lord and will become involved in the
service and vision of the Church. We must remember that the meetings have a place within the vision and constitute an
activity isolated from it, and that the meetings were born from God's revelation that people must be ministered and liberated
so that they can serve God. The vision seminar will make you understand the model of Jesus and challenge you to engage in
active service to God.
 Appendix 2:
The Daniel Fast: Meals to eat:

Blessed:
The week we've all been waiting for has arrived, amen! The week of liberation from curses, from ancestral sins, from
everything antagonistic in your life. And we already started the process with the Daniel Fast.
This fast has a biblical basis in Daniel 10:2-3:
In those days, I, Daniel, had been grieving for three full weeks.
I did not eat delicate food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment,
until the three weeks were up.

That is, these 3 days will be for you to seek the Presence of God in your life and for the Holy Spirit to reveal and bring to
you what He wants for you.

Foods you can take (you cannot take anything that is not on this list):

1. Food: Plantain, yautia, yam, cassava, molondrones, stalk, eggplant and others similar to these.
2. Vegetables: Lettuce, cabbage, tomato, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, spinach and others similar to these.
3. Fruits: China, orange, cherry, banana, pineapple, grape and others similar to these (includes unsalted nuts).
4. Bread: Wholemeal (the dark one).
5. Rice: Brown (dark).
6. Soy meat.
7. Milk and soy cheese.
8. Soy butter.
9. Tomato or spinach spaghetti (red or green).
10. Tomato or spinach omelettes.
11. If you are going to use oil it has to be 100% olive or corn.
12.To give it flavor you cannot use iodized salt or marinade, it has to be natural elements (vegetables, chili peppers,
natural peppers).

Don't forget to call the pastors if you have questions to clarify them.

Don't forget to always take time for prayer and to read the Word.
Appendix 3:
Letter from a friend to you:

Day 1
To my dearest friend:

Today they buried me... this is very different from what I expected. You see, I always thought that death would take me to a
fabulous world, full of fog. But this place is crystal clear, it is much more real than life on earth. I still have a body and I can
think, talk and feel. They have me standing in line to register, I think so. I'm a little scared, friend.

Those around me don't look so happy... I see a small sign in front of the line that says “Hades”. One thing I am sure of, this
is not heaven.

I'm scared!!!… Am I going to burn in hell?

Your friend, Juan

Day 2

Dear Friend: Help me! This is much worse than I thought. I am surrounded by darkness and yet I can feel the flames... I can
smell my flesh as it burns. I am dead, although alive. I am agonizing in pain... tired of hearing so many terrifying screams, I
am thirsty... I feel like my body is about to explode and there are worms, disgusting worms everywhere. Friend, dear
friend... Why can't I die? Why doesn't God let me die?

But I have hope. They say that the day of Judgment is coming where we will be before God. He will judge our case and our
lives personally. Friend, my dear friend, I hope you never come here! I wish no one else had to go through all this suffering;
It's scary!!!

Your friend, Juan

Years later…

Friend:

Finally the Day of Judgment arrived. The hope I had previously is now such a distant memory. The only thing I know is that
terror is waiting for me; the flames are waiting to consume my flesh eternally…

When they called me, I went and stood before the Great White Throne. The one sitting asked for the Book of Life. As I
searched the pages for my name, I saw thousands of angels and believers behind His Throne. Afterwards, I couldn't believe
what I saw: While I was trying to focus my eyes, I managed to see you inside the saints. There you were, waiting for
perpetual happiness while I screamed in terror.

Suddenly, the voice of God caught my attention telling me: “Your name has not been found in the book, so you have been
sentenced to eternal punishment and you will be thrown into the lake of jurisdiction forever, without hope… and without a
way out.” I am so terrified as I wait for my punishment… I have no more hope.

One day after judgment day

To whom one day I consider my friend:

I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. The angels who have been appointed to throw me into the lake of fire are already
coming down the hall. I can hear his footsteps. I have heard of this place. They say it is even worse than Hades. How could it
be?

I can't stand it... the angels are at the door... Oh no! NOOOOOOO…!!! They are already opening the door and they see me…
they are seeing me Juan… They are dragging me and taking me out of the room!!! I can already smell the burning sulfur... I
can see the edge of the precipice where the lake of fire burns in flames...!

It's already done... I have no more hope... We are getting closer and closer...! My heart bursts with fear and horror... They
take me to throw me into the lake of fire... I am hanging above its flames... I have been cursed forever.

Because, why…? Damn!!! WHY DID YOU NEVER TALK TO ME ABOUT JESUS? You just sat back and did nothing, I
could have been with you but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

PS I wish you were here burning with me.

Appendix 4:
Letter from My Father:

TO MY BELOVED CHILD:
I want to tell you that in the whole world there is no one like you, you are very special to me, when I formed you I made you
beautiful, I have always been with you, at no time have I been separated from you, wherever you go my love will follow
you, My right hand will hold you and I will never forget you because you are my son.
I have seen you cry and suffer, I know that many times you have been hurt, you have been disappointed and sometimes you
feel hurt and offended, you have become discouraged many times and despair and affliction have come. You feel alone and
dejected, and you think that no one is with you, you have even doubted my promises and sometimes you have failed me.
But I want to tell you that in all those moments that you have spent I have been there with open arms, waiting for you,
because I love you, I have shown it to you by giving you new opportunities every day, by giving you my son Jesus Christ as
a sacrifice so that now you could enjoy salvation and all my blessings.
I love you, even if you forget me or reject me, I love you even if you don't love me.
I gave you my deepest love, not only did I give you life, my eyes are on your eyes, my hand is placed on your head and I
want you to know that I have created you with a special purpose because
I have filled you with gifts and abilities that no one else has.
Be encouraged, do not faint, fight and make an effort, remember that there are men who have not known my love and you
can bring them that word of strength and comfort.
I walk and smile with you, I live in you; I write it to you in a thousand ways, I say it in your ear and in silence “ you are my
son, my special treasure.”
I hope you enjoy all the special moments you will have with me in this meeting.

I love you!

Your Father God.

 A courtship guided by God: Letting God take your feelings

AIM :
This lesson should teach:
1. To young people how to manage their relationships in the world
2. As it should be according to Christian guidelines.

POINTS TO COVER :
1. Definition of courtship.
2. Consequences of a relationship that is directed to us by God.
3. What is God's will regarding your emotions.
4. How to have an excellent courtship.

I. SELFISH COURTAGE IS NOT DIRECTED BY GOD

A. It produces wrong motivations: receiving instead of giving (true love gives).
B. It produces the wrong goals: immediate pleasure instead of long-term commitment.
C. Produces wrong ideas about love: free license (lust instead of self-control).
D. It produces the wrong results: pain instead of edification.

II. HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT PERSON

Example: Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 24)
A. You cannot have a relationship with an unsaved person (2 Corinthians 6:14). Trust in God that your partner
will be someone who is Christian.
B. God will bring the right person in His time (Genesis 24:7)
C. Ask God to confirm the right person for you: There is nothing wrong with liking someone - just ask God to
confirm if they are the right one and obey His will. Don't just see what you want. Instead, desire God's will for you
(Genesis 24:11-14).
D. God knows what is best for you. He wants to give you the best. (Genesis 24:16).
E. If you put God before anything or anyone, He will bring the person you love. (Genesis 24:62 67)

III. WHAT IS COURTAGE?

A. You must see and know God's purpose for your life. Marriage is just part of God's purpose for your life.
B. You must have a commitment to only one man or one woman.
C. God hates divorce. You must decide that this person is the only one for the rest of your life.
D. You must practice self-control and abstain from physical affection (1 Corinthians 7:1).
E. You must respect the wishes of parents and your spiritual authorities.
F. You must be ready and willing to commit to marriage.
1. Courtship is not based on emotion. Don't allow yourself to be impressed by the way a person looks or
their appearance, their abilities, personality or spirituality.
2. Before saying (I love you), you must be complete in yourself and know who you are. You must know
what love truly is. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7); only then can you get to know the other person.
3. You must be mature. You must be prepared spiritually, economically, and emotionally to sustain the
 responsibility of marriage.

IV. COURTAGE REWARDS:

A. Courtship gives freedom in friendships; avoid the pressures of selfish dating.
B. Helps the relationship avoid jealousy, infidelity, bitterness, envy.
C. In courtship both can remain in their total devotion to God (1 Corinthians 7:32-37)
D. Promotes self-control and moral purity.
E. Helps people stay positive while listening to God's voice.
F. Base marriage on God's will, not your own will
G. Honor the authority in your life, because you remain subject to your parents and the guidance of your
authorities.

Altar call:

1. Sexuality: There are sexual sins in our lives that we need to repent of and be free from. There are many wounds in
your life due to emotional or sexual sores in the past. Jesus can heal you and set you free. Submit your life to God
and the devil has to flee. Don't hide anything from God. Surrender your passions and desires to the Lord.
2. Courtship: Tell Jesus that He is everything you want. Give everything to Him. Deliver your marriage plans. God
knows what you need. He knows the desires of your heart.

Footnote: This therapy is given to married and cohabiting people, but is based on 1 Corinthians 7.
