07:21 Good to see you all. 07:22 Good to see extended family, not only family in Christ, but 07:26 also as Tita and Dalia mentioned. 07:30 My name is Carlos Munoz. 07:31 I am the AFCO director at Amazing Facts. 07:33 Amazing Facts and 3ABN are also family, amen? 07:36 So I'm excited to be here. 07:39 And of course I've been collaborating with the Latino 07:42 side of 3ABN for over 10 years now. 07:45 And so they asked me to jump on the English side. 07:49 And I had to think about it because, you know, we talk the 07:52 language of heaven in Spanish. 07:57 But I said, I'll make a consideration for you all. 08:01 Just kidding. 08:02 It's a blessing to be here. 08:03 And I'm so excited for the topic that I have to present, 08:09 which is titled, The Power of the Everlasting Gospel. 08:13 Amen? 08:14 Let's have a word of prayer as we begin. 08:16 Father, thank you for the blessing and the privilege to 08:18 be here tonight, to spend time in your Word. 08:21 And as we open your Word, we ask for the blessing that you 08:23 have for those that come to seek you and want to rejoice in 08:26 your presence. 08:27 We thank you for this blessing, Father, and we ask this in 08:29 Jesus' precious name. 08:31 Amen. 08:32 So I want to start with a question. 08:33 Is there anybody here tonight that is an Army or Armed Forces 08:39 veteran? 08:40 Any veterans here tonight? 08:41 Yes, we have a number of veterans. 08:42 Thank you very much for your service. 08:44 My father is a Vietnam veteran, right? 08:47 My father fought in Vietnam, so I know a little bit about the 08:51 military aspect of it. 08:52 And it's very interesting because for those that have 08:56 been in the Armed Services, there is a very rigorous 08:59 training. 09:03 that have access to dedicated military information or 09:07 intelligence, right? 09:10 And if you know that, they especially train them in 09:12 regards to not only weaponry and different aspects of 09:16 military strategies and things, but also in information. 09:21 And so they train them specifically in regards to if 09:24 you get captured, what happens if you get captured, right? 09:28 The enemy, what's the enemy going to do? 09:30 The enemy might abuse you, misuse you, torture you, do 09:35 anything to try to what? 09:36 To try to extract that information, right? 09:39 And so certain people that especially have access to very 09:43 delicate information, were they to fall in the hands of the 09:45 enemy, they are also trained in the area in regards to how to 09:49 support, how to hold on in case this happens. 09:53 But there's something worse than being caught as a prisoner 09:56 of war, being tortured, being beaten. 10:00 There's something worse than that. 10:01 And you're like, really, what could be worse than that? 10:03 Worse than that, imagine if after the army, the country you 10:08 fight for, wins the war, you're supposed to be given back to 10:14 your country of origin, right? 10:16 This is even in the Geneva Conventions, the rules of war, 10:19 which sounds like an oxymoron, but that's a different point, 10:22 right? 10:24 What happens if you get taken prisoner and then after the war 10:28 is over, you're not taken back or you're not given back to 10:32 your country, right? 10:33 That's even worse. 10:34 And there are stories of people that have been days, weeks, 10:38 months, years, even died in captivity after the war was 10:43 over. 10:48 still here, right? 10:50 Why am I still here if my country won, if the war is 10:52 over, why am I still here? 10:56 And the reason I say this is because my brothers and my 10:58 sisters, we are also on the battlefield, but our general 11:03 has already won. 11:05 Our general defeated the enemy. 11:08 Perfect life, perfect death, resurrection, ascension. 11:13 And so the question is, why are we still here? 11:18 If Christ already defeated Satan with his life on the 11:22 cross of Calvary at his resurrection, why are we still 11:26 here on this battlefield? 11:28 And that implies that the war is not over. 11:32 Amen. 11:33 And so the question that we should ask ourselves is, why 11:38 are we still here? 11:39 Why has Christ delayed 2000 years to return? 11:43 What is he waiting for? 11:46 Now I have a full study on this topic where I go through a 11:49 number of different reasons biblically. 11:51 But this topic specifically, I really dove deep into about 11:56 four years when COVID came, right? 11:57 You know, when COVID came, I was traveling for Amazing 12:00 Facts. 12:01 So it was basically a four sabbatical. 12:04 And so I was like, well, now I got a lot of extra time to 12:07 study. 12:10 And if you would have asked me this question before that, four 12:14 or five years previously, I would have told you what most 12:16 people tell you. 12:19 evangelists and brethren and laymen in the church. 12:23 Hey, why are we still here? 12:24 Why hasn't Christ returned? 12:25 And the answer that usually everybody gives and the one 12:28 that I would have given you would have been off of Second 12:30 Peter, where Peter says that God is long suffering, right? 12:33 Being patient, not willing that any should perish, but that all 12:37 should come to, right? 12:39 That's the typical answer. 12:41 But you know, there's a problem there. 12:44 Because what we say is, well, you see what Christ is waiting 12:46 for. 12:49 gospel, that haven't heard the gospel yet. 12:51 He's waiting for them. 12:52 And then once they hear it, then. 12:55 Now, I'm not saying that that's not incorrect. 12:58 But we have an issue if we try to use Peter's writings for 13:02 that. 13:03 You know why? 13:04 Because Peter isn't writing to the world. 13:07 Peter is writing to the church. 13:11 So when he says God is being patient and long suffering, so 13:15 that none should perish, that all come to repentance, he's 13:18 talking to his church. 13:21 Now we confirm this in the Laodicean message, Revelation 13:23 chapter 3. 13:24 What does Christ say to the Laodicean church? 13:25 He says, all I love, I chasten, and I what? 13:30 And he says, be patient, and he says, repent. 13:34 Doesn't he call the Laodicean church to repent? 13:37 Who's the Laodicean church? 13:39 So you see the confirmation. 13:41 In other words, what I'm going to propose to you is that the 13:44 main thing God is waiting for is not those that are in the 13:48 world. 13:49 The main thing he's waiting for is for the church to get on 13:53 board with his plan. 13:55 Now as again, I go through a number of Bible verses and I 13:58 show you about five or six or seven different biblical 14:01 reasons, but tonight I'm only going to share one with you. 14:04 One main one which I find to be fascinating that is connected 14:07 with the topic of the power of the everlasting gospel, and is 14:10 to prepare us to proclaim the final cry. 14:13 Now we find this verse in the book of Matthew chapter 24, 14:17 verse 14. 14:19 And what does Matthew chapter 24, verse 14 says? 14:21 We're going to have some verses and some quotes up on the 14:23 screen. 14:28 Preached. 14:30 In all the world. 14:31 How? 14:33 Through our witnessing to all nations and then what happens? 14:36 And then the end will come. 14:39 Now I have a question my brothers and my sisters. 14:40 Does this verse explain why Jesus has not returned? 14:43 Oh yes it does, because it says that when the gospel is 14:48 preached to all the world, as our witness to all nations, 14:51 then the end will come. 14:52 So if the end has not come based off of that Bible verse, 14:55 what does that imply? 14:57 That the gospel has not been preached or witnessed yet to 15:01 the world. 15:03 Now somebody might be here and say, oh no, wait a minute, that 15:05 doesn't apply to me because I'm not a preacher. 15:08 Right? 15:09 I've heard people tell me that before. 15:10 That's okay, that doesn't apply to me because I'm not a 15:12 preacher, Carlos. 15:13 You're a preacher. 15:15 And I'm like, well, Jesus explains how the gospel is 15:19 preached. 15:22 Right? 15:27 for the preaching of the gospel. 15:29 Who says amen? 15:30 Public evangelism is a powerful, powerful resource for 15:34 the preaching of the everlasting gospel. 15:35 How many of you came in through public evangelism to the 15:37 church, right? 15:39 Powerful. 15:40 But do you know that it is not the primary way that God 15:42 preaches the gospel? 15:43 Because in Matthew 24, 14, he says that the gospel will be 15:47 preached through our witnessing. 15:51 Our witnessing is the main instrument that God uses to 15:55 preach the gospel. 15:57 Amen? 15:58 You're a witness. 15:59 You've probably heard this before. 16:00 You're a pulpit. 16:00 You're a sermon. 16:01 Your life, you are preaching the gospel. 16:04 The way you talk, the way you live, the way you act, the way 16:07 you dress, the way you eat. 16:09 Everything that you do and everything that you show and 16:11 represent is what? 16:12 Is preaching the gospel. 16:14 The question is, what gospel is my life preaching? 16:19 Amen? 16:20 Now, going back to the verse. 16:22 It says that the gospel will be preached in all the world as a 16:25 witness to all nations, and then the end will come. 16:28 So I'm going to hit you with a thesis. 16:29 Now, this might make some of you uncomfortable, but that's 16:32 okay. 16:38 Here's my thesis. 16:40 I don't believe that the gospel has not been preached or 16:45 witnessed as it should be because of a lack of sincerity 16:48 on our part. 16:49 I think that most Christians are sincere in wanting to 16:53 finish the work. 16:54 Amen? 16:54 In wanting to witness to the gospel. 16:57 But I believe, my brothers and my sisters, that the reason why 17:01 this gospel has not been preached or witnessed to the 17:03 world is not because of a lack of sincerity, but I think it's 17:06 because there's a lack of understanding in what the 17:09 gospel is. 17:10 Now, that's pretty bold. 17:12 You're like, man, that's pretty bold, Carlos. 17:16 And I'm going to prove it to you tonight. 17:18 All right? 17:19 I don't think it's a lack of sincerity, again, that we are 17:21 not witnessing and preaching to the gospel as God wants it to. 17:25 I don't think it's a lack of sincerity. 17:27 I think most Christians are sincere in their desire to want 17:30 to witness and preach to the gospel. 17:32 Amen? 17:33 But I think it's a lack of understanding. 17:35 Let me give you an example. 17:36 I used to be a teacher in New York City. 17:38 I taught in Manhattan in an area called the Jungle, right 17:41 off of the Bronx River. 17:42 I can see Yankee Stadium from my classroom. 17:45 And I always get students that would come in, and some of the 17:47 students, you don't know what you're getting, right? 17:49 And some of the students would come in with this great desire 17:52 to want to do good in school. 17:53 They really, they really wanted to. 17:56 They had the great attitude, the great heart, but there was 17:59 a problem. 18:04 So, for example, if you have a little child and you put the 18:06 little child into school, what's the first thing they'll 18:08 learn in math class? 18:10 How to count, add, and subtract, right? 18:16 Then after adding, subtracting, what do they learn? 18:18 They learn how to multiply and divide, right? 18:22 Those are the basic foundational aspects of math. 18:25 And then after that, then you start with decimals, fractions, 18:29 pre -algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calc, and so on 18:32 and so on. 18:33 I have a question. 18:35 If a child is not grounded well in the basics of math, 18:39 counting, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, are 18:42 they going to have issues to execute the more complex 18:45 aspects of math? 18:46 Yes or no? 18:47 It doesn't matter how hard they try. 18:50 It doesn't matter how much they want to do good. 18:52 It doesn't matter how sincere they are. 18:54 If they don't have the skills, if they don't have the 18:57 knowledge, if they don't have the resources, they will not be 19:00 able to execute the more complex parts of it. 19:03 My brothers and my sisters, I'm going to propose to you that 19:05 that's part of the problem that we have today. 19:08 I'm going to propose to you that it's not because of a lack 19:10 of sincerity. 19:11 I think most of us are sincere. 19:13 But I think there's a lack of understanding in what the 19:16 Gospel is trying to accomplish. 19:18 Now for that, what do we need to do? 19:21 We need to have a 101 study on the Gospel. 19:25 And that's what we're going to do tonight. 19:26 We're going to go back to the basics. 19:28 Amen? 19:32 something? 19:33 Because I'm going to tell you the truth. 19:34 I noticed I missed something. 19:36 And that's why I want to share it with you. 19:38 Because I'm so excited. 19:40 Amen? 19:41 Now, I'm going to do a survey. 19:43 But because of the scenario and the time, I'll keep it short. 19:48 If somebody asks you, if somebody off of the street, a 19:51 non -believer comes to you and asks you, hey, you're a 19:53 Christian and I've heard about this Gospel. 19:56 And somebody asks you, what is the Gospel? 19:58 What would you tell that person? 20:00 What would you respond to that person that is a non-Christian 20:03 and ask you, hey, what is the Gospel? 20:05 I've heard so much Christians talk about the Gospel. 20:07 What is the Gospel? 20:08 Now this has been the result of when I do these surveys. 20:11 I do them in my classroom. 20:12 I teach in AFCO a class on the Gospel. 20:15 And the result is I'll get 10 people to answer and they'll 20:19 give me 10 different answers. 20:22 Now, this is what they might say. 20:23 Oh, the Gospel is the death of Christ. 20:25 The Gospel is the life of Christ. 20:27 The Gospel is the Word of God. 20:28 The Gospel is the second coming. 20:29 The Gospel is the resurrection of Christ. 20:32 The Gospel is the ascension of Christ. 20:33 The Gospel is the second coming of Christ. 20:36 The Gospel is... 20:36 and they'll give me 10 different answers. 20:39 And don't get me wrong. 20:40 Those answers are not wrong. 20:43 But there's a problem. 20:45 It's confusing. 20:47 If the Gospel is the core of our mission here, then we 20:51 should be able to concisely, precisely, and accurately 20:55 explain what it is. 20:56 Amen? 21:00 Gospel, boom, this is the Gospel. 21:03 Now again, don't get me wrong. 21:04 Those answers are not wrong. 21:06 But those answers are part of the Gospel. 21:09 But my search was, can we find a place in Scripture where it's 21:12 concisely, precisely broken down and explained? 21:16 And the answer is, yes, it is. 21:19 And where do we find that? 21:21 We find it in the book of Romans, chapter 1, verse 16. 21:26 So go with me, please. 21:26 That's going to be our study. 21:28 We're going to read off of a bit, just a basic study off of 21:31 Romans, chapter 1. 21:33 I believe. 21:35 Now you can find the concept of the Gospel in all Scripture. 21:38 From the very beginning all the way to the very end. 21:41 But looking for a precise and precise where the Gospel is 21:46 explained. 21:47 Romans, chapter 1, and this is what we're going to do. 21:49 We're going to read through it. 21:51 And then we're just going to talk a little bit about it for 21:53 the rest of our time together. 21:54 Did that sound good? 21:56 Romans, chapter 1, verse 16. 21:57 Let's just read through it. 21:59 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the 22:02 power of God's salvation for everyone who believes. 22:06 For the Jew first and also for the Greek. 22:09 For in it, that means in the Gospel, the righteousness of 22:13 God is revealed from faith to faith, and as it is written, 22:17 the just shall live by faith. 22:20 Amen? 22:21 Now, let's break this down a little bit more. 22:24 Let's chew on it a little bit more. 22:26 Let's begin. 22:27 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of who? 22:30 Let's start right here. 22:31 The Gospel is of who? 22:34 Christ. 22:37 Amen? 22:38 The good news of God is Jesus Christ. 22:40 Amen? 22:43 It wants to go deeper and explain to us and reveal to us 22:47 what exactly this good news in Christ is talking about. 22:51 Is everybody with me? 22:52 Let's continue to read. 22:53 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of 22:58 God. 22:59 It doesn't say power there in the text. 23:02 We're reading a translated version, where we read it says 23:05 the Gospel is the power of God, but in Greek, really, you know 23:10 what it says in Greek? 23:11 For the Gospel is the poo. 23:15 That's what it says in Greek. 23:16 The Gospel is the what? 23:18 The poo. 23:19 Come on. 23:22 What does that mean? 23:26 the word dynamite. 23:28 Amen? 23:29 It says here that the Gospel is the poo, the dynamite of God. 23:34 Now, what does that mean? 23:35 Let me give you an example. 23:36 Let's say I would have gotten here late, and I walk in 23:40 through the door, and I walk in, and I'm gimpy, I'm on 23:43 crutches, I got blood, I got stains all over, I'm all a 23:46 mess, I lost a couple of teeth, and I'm like, hey, everybody, 23:49 I'm sorry I'm late. 23:51 What happened was I got run over by an 18-wheeler. 23:56 Now, if I would have said that, you would have thought one of 23:59 two things. 24:01 Either I'm crazy or I'm lying. 24:06 Right? 24:07 Why? 24:08 Because if an 18-wheeler were to run over me, I would be 24:13 what? 24:15 Destroyed. 24:16 Amen? 24:17 If I were to put a car in front of this building right now, and 24:20 in that car there was dynamite, and it went off, how would you 24:24 react? 24:26 You would have been like, oh, honey, did you hear that noise? 24:30 Did you hear that? 24:30 Was that you, honey? 24:32 No, right? 24:33 You would have what? 24:34 If dynamite would have went off, you would have ran, 24:37 because that dynamite would have exploded, the car, 24:40 probably the windows here, who knows the damage? 24:42 You and I would have run out of this place thinking that there 24:45 was a terrorist attack. 24:45 Amen? 24:47 And yet I would come here and tell you that an 18-wheeler ran 24:49 over me, and you would think that's impossible, because 24:53 what? 24:56 I have a question. 24:57 Who is more powerful? 24:59 An 18-wheeler or God? 25:02 So if God runs over me, that means I should be radically and 25:08 completely transformed by his power too. 25:11 Amen? 25:12 It's not a slight modification. 25:13 It should be a radical transformation from what I used 25:17 to be to what I am now. 25:18 Amen? 25:22 of God, to radically transform a human being's life and 25:26 existence. 25:26 Amen? 25:27 Now let's continue. 25:29 For I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the 25:31 power of God to... 25:33 Salvation. 25:34 To salvation. 25:35 Now to salvation from what? 25:37 To save me from cancer? 25:39 To save me from financial problems? 25:42 To save me from marital problems? 25:44 To save me from political and social and cultural problems? 25:47 Is that what the Gospel is here to save us from? 25:50 No, my brothers and my sisters. 25:52 It says in Matthew 1, verse 21 very clearly that you shall 25:54 call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from 25:59 their sins. 26:00 Amen? 26:01 So the Gospel is the plan of salvation that God is doing in 26:05 Christ to save us from what? 26:07 From our sins. 26:09 Amen? 26:10 Now, I'm not saying that cancer and sickness and war and 26:15 murder, I'm not saying that those are not issues in the 26:17 world, right? 26:18 They are. 26:19 But that's not the main problem. 26:20 The main problem is sin. 26:22 And so God's plan, God's good news is that in Christ, He's 26:26 going to solve the problem of sin. 26:28 How? 26:34 to see in Christ, He takes care of every other problem. 26:38 Because everything else is not the problem, it's the symptom 26:40 of the main problem. 26:42 Cancer and death and war and social and cultural, those are 26:46 the symptoms. 26:50 And when He solves sin, everything else will be solved 26:52 by itself. 26:53 Is everybody with me so far? 26:54 Amen? 26:55 Now, let's go back to Romans, chapter 1, verse 16. 26:57 Now, Paul does something inspired by the Holy Spirit, 26:59 very interesting in here. 27:01 Now, what he's going to do in verse 16, he explains that the 27:04 gospel, the good news of Christ, is the power of God to 27:08 save us from our sins. 27:09 Amen? 27:11 But now, in verse 17, he's going to do what is known as a 27:15 Hebrew parallelism, and he's going to explain the same 27:18 concept using different words or coming from a different 27:21 angle. 27:24 Scripture, especially in the Psalms and poetry, God says 27:27 something, then He repeats it using different words. 27:30 This is for people like me that are thick-headed. 27:32 You know, sometimes I don't get it straight, and God has to 27:34 repeat it. 27:35 Anybody like me? 27:36 Right? 27:36 And then I come, oh, I got it, God. 27:38 Right? 27:41 people like me. 27:43 Now, He's going to say, now He's going to identify, and 27:46 He's going to zoom in to what is that power, where is that 27:50 boom, that God is going to save us from sin. 27:54 Where is that power found? 27:57 Notice what it says in verse 17, for in it, that is in the 28:00 Gospel, what does it say? 28:02 The righteousness of God is what? 28:07 Revealed. 28:07 It's revealed. 28:08 Amen? 28:09 Now, watch this. 28:10 Where have we seen the most beautiful, complete, and 28:15 perfect picture of the revelation of the righteousness 28:19 of God in Jesus Christ? 28:22 Amen? 28:28 revelation, manifestation of the righteousness of God. 28:32 Amen? 28:33 And the life of Jesus was a manifestation of the 28:37 righteousness, the holiness, the integrity, living a life in 28:41 perfect harmony with God's will. 28:45 Amen? 28:46 Through the power of the Holy Spirit. 28:48 Everybody with me so far? 28:49 So we're seeing how all of this is focusing and pointing to 28:52 who? 28:53 To Christ. 28:56 caught my attention and I hope it catches yours. 29:00 Because notice what it says. 29:02 It says, we're going back to verse 16, it says that the 29:06 Gospel of Christ, but then it says that it's the 29:12 righteousness, it's the power of God and the righteousness of 29:17 God. 29:18 It doesn't say Christ, it says God. 29:21 Look at it again. 29:23 It says the Gospel of Christ is the power of God and the 29:29 righteousness of God. 29:31 Now why doesn't it say that the Gospel of Christ is the power 29:36 of Christ and the righteousness of Christ? 29:39 It doesn't say that. 29:41 Now, whenever you're studying your Bible, ask yourself one 29:44 question and the question is why? 29:47 You do that and your Bible study will never get old. 29:50 Lord, why this? 29:51 Lord, why that? 29:52 Why this word? 29:52 Why not that word, Lord? 29:53 Why did you put this here? 29:54 Why did you do that? 29:59 And when you do that, the Bible becomes alive. 30:02 So I noticed that when I was studying this number of years 30:05 ago, Lord, why does it say the Gospel of Christ, but then it 30:09 says the power of God and the righteousness of God? 30:12 Why doesn't it say the Gospel of Christ is the power of 30:15 Christ and the righteousness of Christ? 30:18 And you know what? 30:19 At the due moment, God answered my question. 30:22 And you want to know what He shared with me? 30:25 The key is the term Christ. 30:29 What do I mean by that? 30:30 When the Bible says or mentions Christ, what is it making 30:34 reference to? 30:37 Jesus Christ incarnate as a human being. 30:41 Amen? 30:45 Sometimes they get all shut down when it says God and 30:48 Christ. 30:49 And they say, well, Christ can't be God. 30:50 Well, no, because what the verse is not focusing on the 30:53 divinity of Jesus Christ, it's focusing on God and His Son, 30:57 Jesus Christ incarnate, to save us. 31:00 That's why it's explained or written in that way. 31:03 So here is the same thing. 31:05 It says the Gospel of Christ, the power of God, and the 31:08 righteousness of God. 31:09 What is God trying to tell us? 31:11 And I thought this was beautiful. 31:12 What Christ is telling us in the text is, listen, the good 31:16 news that you see in me, the manifestation of the 31:19 righteousness of God in me, is not product of human effort. 31:25 It's not product of human, because we cannot produce 31:29 righteousness. 31:31 What Jesus is saying is the Gospel that you see in me, the 31:34 good news in me, which is the power of God and it's the 31:38 righteousness of God manifested in a human being. 31:43 It's not what God can do in Himself, it's what God can do 31:48 in us, in you and in me, amen? 31:51 And that's how God saves us from what? 31:54 From sin. 31:55 It's by manifesting His righteousness where? 31:58 In you and in me. 32:01 Everybody with me. 32:02 Because what is, now watch this, what is sin? 32:06 Sin is the transgression of the law. 32:07 Romans chapter 30 verse 20, Romans chapter 7 verse 7, 32:10 Romans 1 John chapter 3 verse 4, right? 32:13 So, if sin is the transgression of the law, and the plan of 32:16 salvation is to save us from sin, what does that imply? 32:19 And sin is the transgression of the law, that implies that the 32:21 plan of salvation, which is through the manifestation of 32:24 the righteousness of Christ, is to restore us back into harmony 32:27 with His law. 32:29 Amen? 32:30 That's what it's saying. 32:31 It's saying God, through the righteousness of Christ, is 32:34 going to do what? 32:35 He's going to reveal Himself. 32:36 So, it's not about what God can do, but it's primarily what God 32:44 can do in you and in me. 32:47 Because that's what the gospel is. 32:48 It's the beautiful manifestation of God in Christ, 32:53 in incarnate human beings. 32:54 Everybody with me. 32:56 Now, some of you might say, well, Carlos, that doesn't 32:57 sound right. 32:58 That doesn't sound right. 32:59 What do you mean by that? 33:00 Well, let's look at some Bible verses. 33:02 John chapter 8, look at what it says. 33:04 Jesus says, 33:12 Christ did not come to show us what a human being can do. 33:17 Christ came to show us what God can do in a human being. 33:20 And He's saying what? 33:22 I can do nothing of myself. 33:23 Now, wait a minute. 33:25 I thought, did Jesus did this and that because He was God? 33:27 No, of course not. 33:29 Everything that Jesus did, He walked on water, He healed the 33:31 sick, He resurrected dead people. 33:33 I have a question. 33:34 Do we not see that in scriptures? 33:35 Yes or no? 33:36 Yes, we see the disciples did it. 33:37 We see that Elijah did it. 33:38 We see that a number of God's people did the same work in 33:41 scripture. 33:42 Does that mean they're God? 33:43 No, it just means that what? 33:45 That there was something working in them. 33:47 And so what it's saying here, my brothers and my sisters, 33:50 Christ said, this is not I. 33:51 I can't do anything. 33:54 Humanity cannot produce righteousness. 33:57 But notice, if He didn't do it, then who did it? 34:01 It says in John chapter 5, verse 30, I can do of myself 34:05 nothing. 34:07 And then in John 14, 10, who did it then if Jesus didn't do 34:10 it? 34:14 Amen. 34:15 So again, the gospel is focusing on what? 34:17 On what God, the glory and the power of God, did in the life 34:21 of Jesus Christ. 34:22 Amen. 34:26 sin. 34:28 OK, one more witness. 34:29 First, Ephesians, I'm sorry, Ephesians chapter 1, verse 19. 34:33 Notice what it says. 34:34 Ephesians chapter 1, the exceeding greatness of His 34:38 power towards us who believe according to the working of His 34:43 mighty power, which He worked in. 34:49 So who has that great power? 34:51 Who has that great working of the Holy Spirit in Christ? 34:53 It was God, the Father, working in Christ through the Holy 34:58 Spirit. 34:59 Everybody with me so far? 35:01 Now watch this, let's go back to Romans. 35:04 It says in verse 17, for in it, in the gospel, the 35:08 righteousness of God is revealed how? 35:11 From faith to faith. 35:13 Is this not the life of Jesus Christ? 35:15 Yes or no? 35:21 dependence on God the Father? 35:23 Yes or no? 35:25 Continually, completely, continually depending on God. 35:28 And that was the life of faith. 35:29 That's why God was able, the Father, to reveal and manifest 35:33 His righteousness in Christ. 35:35 Amen? 35:36 But there's something very interesting. 35:39 Because up to now, everything in this verse exalts Jesus 35:41 Christ. 35:42 Amen? 35:46 abundantly about Jesus Christ. 35:48 But when you read the last part of the verse, it says, And as 35:53 it is written, the just shall live by faith. 35:59 This verse, my brothers and my sisters, while it's exalting 36:03 Christ, the focus of it is not pointing directly to Christ, 36:08 because Christ has already resurrected, already ascended, 36:10 and was already in heaven. 36:12 It's pointing to that same righteousness, that same power, 36:18 that same glory, that was revealed in Christ, will be 36:22 revealed in the just, if they live by the faith of Jesus. 36:27 Amen? 36:28 What it's saying is, that the way God is going to save you 36:32 and me from our sins, is that He's going to take that same 36:35 righteousness that He revealed and manifested in Christ, and 36:39 He's going to do what? 36:40 He's going to impart it and reveal it through each and 36:44 every one of us. 36:49 What? 36:50 That's what it's saying. 36:52 That's how God is going to save us. 36:55 By the revelation and the manifestation of His 36:57 righteousness, which was in Christ, and that means that 37:01 Christ must dwell in us, the hope of glory, to reveal that 37:05 righteousness. 37:06 Because it's not our righteousness. 37:07 This is not human righteousness. 37:09 This is God's righteousness. 37:12 Amen? 37:15 manifest through you and through me. 37:18 Now, when I say these types of things, some people say, No! 37:23 What? 37:23 Yes. 37:28 They just say, Oh yeah, just accept Jesus Christ, you know. 37:31 Do X and Y. 37:32 Here's a good checklist. 37:33 Just follow this, and you know, hold on, and when Christ 37:37 returns, it's all going to be solved. 37:38 That's not what it says here. 37:40 It says that God is yearning for the manifestation of 37:44 Himself, of Jesus Christ, of His righteousness, and each and 37:49 every one of us. 37:54 reveal in each and every one of us. 37:57 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Carlos. 37:59 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. 38:00 Wait a minute. 38:01 What? 38:01 Yes. 38:03 No. 38:04 John chapter 14 verse 12. 38:07 Most assuredly I say to you, He who believes in me, the works 38:12 that I do... 38:14 What does He say? 38:16 What is He saying? 38:18 If you believe in me, the works that I did, you what? 38:22 You will also do. 38:25 Is everybody with me? 38:26 And greater works than these, because I go where? 38:30 Now, some people say, how is it possible that we're going to do 38:32 greater works than Christ? 38:34 Well, the focus of the verse is not on quality. 38:37 The focus on the verse is quantity. 38:42 Because if Jesus Christ was one man, and He permitted, and He's 38:46 put Himself under the direction of the Father, for the Father 38:50 to reveal and manifest His righteousness in Christ 38:54 completely, beautifully, and perfectly, and the world could 38:58 not hold three and a half years of that. 39:01 Is everybody following me? 39:03 What's going to happen in the end with the latter rain? 39:06 It says, the glory of God will cover the earth. 39:09 And what does that mean? 39:10 It means talking about the righteousness, the gospel, 39:13 which is the manifestation and revelation of the power, the 39:17 dynamite of God in a transformed life, which is the 39:20 righteousness of Christ being revealed and manifested in us, 39:23 is going to be not in one person, tens, hundreds, 39:27 thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people 39:29 all around the earth, manifesting the righteousness 39:33 and the glory of God. 39:35 Amen? 39:39 earth to the core. 39:40 Right now, you know where the devil is? 39:42 The devil is in Punta Cana drinking a piña colada. 39:45 We're not doing any damage to him, but when the devil sees 39:47 that the church begins to consecrate and surrender and 39:52 submit continually, constantly, completely to the guidance of 39:58 the Holy Spirit and to the Word of God, and the righteousness 40:00 of God with that full surrender begins to be fully manifested, 40:04 and the devil begins to see that in the world. 40:07 He's going to jump off of that hammock, and he's going to 40:09 start to tighten the screws, because that, my brothers and 40:13 my sisters, is the detonator to the end of times. 40:17 That is what's going to get him out of his seat to try to what? 40:19 He's like, I already had to deal with three and a half 40:21 years of Jesus. 40:22 I'm not going to deal with the church now. 40:26 And that, my brothers and my sisters, is going to lead to 40:29 what? 40:33 Now, I don't want you to say this, because I say it. 40:35 Let's look at this quote from the book Desire of Ages on the 40:38 verse that we just read, which is John 14-12. 40:40 Notice what it says. 40:42 He that believes on me, the works that I do, what? 40:46 He shall also do. 40:47 Same quote, same context. 40:50 The Savior was deeply anxious for His disciples to understand 40:53 for what purpose His divinity was united to humanity. 40:58 Jesus revealed no qualities and exercised no power that men and 41:05 women may not have through faith in Him. 41:09 Amen? 41:10 And the quote continues, His perfect humanity, His perfect 41:14 humanity, not ours, is that which all His followers may 41:18 possess, which is His righteousness, if we will be in 41:23 subjection to God as He was. 41:27 Amen? 41:28 You thought I was making that up? 41:30 Right? 41:31 Confirmation, two or three witnesses. 41:32 Amen? 41:33 This is the gospel. 41:34 This is how God is going to. 41:36 God did it in Christ, but what? 41:38 God now wants to do it in each and every one of us. 41:41 God wants to reveal that same power, that same glory. 41:45 That's why when I heard Brother Hutchinson talking about 41:47 righteousness, I was like, oh, the Lord is speaking. 41:50 Because that's exactly what I was going to talk about. 41:53 Amen? 41:53 And the God is telling us this. 41:56 That's God's plan. 41:57 Tell the person next to you, God wants to reveal His 41:59 righteousness in you. 42:00 Tell them. 42:00 Tell them. 42:01 Go ahead. 42:02 Amen? 42:05 Now, I've had people come to me and tell me, oh no, Carlos, 42:10 that's not going to be now. 42:11 That's impossible. 42:13 That's impossible. 42:14 You're not understanding the text correctly. 42:16 It's impossible. 42:17 It's not possible to be able to live the righteousness of 42:20 Christ in this life. 42:21 That will happen at the second coming when our bodies are 42:23 transformed. 42:28 the righteousness of Christ will be revealed. 42:30 That's very interesting. 42:32 And they're like, forgiveness is enough. 42:34 Praise God for forgiveness. 42:36 Amen? 42:37 But God doesn't only want to forgive us of our sins. 42:39 God wants to give us power so that we can overcome and be 42:42 victorious over our sinful ways. 42:44 Amen? 42:45 And I'm going to give you an example when people say, oh, 42:47 what? 42:47 Isn't forgiveness enough? 42:48 And I'm going to give you an example. 42:49 Isn't forgiveness enough and when we have new bodies, then 42:52 the sin problem will be solved? 42:55 No. 42:55 You know why? 42:56 Because Adam and Eve were created with perfect natures. 43:00 Amen. 43:02 Amen. 43:02 And so was Lucifer. 43:04 So the problem is not, if you want to say, the fallen nature. 43:07 It doesn't cooperate. 43:08 Don't get me wrong. 43:10 The problem is the carnal mind. 43:12 Amen. 43:15 natures. 43:19 To reveal His righteousness, then the problem of sin is 43:23 solved because the righteousness of God is what? 43:26 Is harmony with God's Word. 43:28 Amen. 43:31 and to me, but to the universe. 43:33 Amen. 43:37 couple of dimensions. 43:40 sense. 43:40 It's only then. 43:41 Okay, let's look at some Bible verses. 43:42 I love to use Bible verses to prove everything. 43:45 Second Corinthians, chapter four, verse ten. 43:46 Look at what it says here. 43:48 That the life of Jesus also may be manifested where? 43:53 Oh, Carlos, it says the life of Jesus in our body but that's 43:56 the new body. 43:57 Well, just look at the next verse. 43:59 Look at what the next verse says. 44:01 That the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our? 44:10 What is the mortal flesh? 44:12 This right here. 44:14 And God wants to do what? 44:15 He wants to reveal the life of Jesus where? 44:20 In this mortal flesh. 44:22 When does God want to do that? 44:24 Look at the next verse. 44:25 Luke chapter one, verse 74 and 75. 44:27 It says, to grant us that we might serve him without fear in 44:33 holiness and righteousness before him when? 44:37 Oh, ho, ho, ho. 44:39 All the days of our life. 44:42 Amen? 44:43 That's the gospel. 44:44 That's how God is going to revealing Christ in us. 44:46 Right? 44:48 So that the devil has no more power in us because the power 44:49 of God is dwelling in the surrendered new heart. 44:53 Amen? 44:54 One more verse. 44:55 It's always good to give two or three witnesses. 44:56 Job chapter 33, verse 26. 44:58 Look at what it says. 44:59 It says, We shall pray. 45:01 He shall pray to God and he will delight in us. 45:03 He shall see... 45:05 What? 45:07 He shall see our face with joy. 45:09 Who's he? 45:10 God. 45:11 For he restores to man and woman what? 45:15 His righteousness. 45:17 Amen? 45:18 God is revealing and restoring what? 45:20 His righteousness in human beings. 45:23 Look at what it says also. 45:23 One more quote. 45:25 Romans chapter 3. 45:27 You can read from verse 21 all the way to 26. 45:29 This is just a condensed part of it. 45:31 It says, But now the righteousness of God apart from 45:36 the law is what? 45:37 Is revealed. 45:42 Through faith in Jesus Christ to who? 45:45 To all and on who? 45:47 And on all who believe the righteousness shall be revealed 45:50 because in his forbearance God had passed over the sins that 45:54 were previously committed to demonstrate what? 45:57 In this present time what, my brothers and my sisters? 46:02 His righteousness. 46:03 Amen? 46:04 My brothers, I could do this all night with you. 46:08 It's all over the Bible, my brothers and my sisters. 46:12 Why was I not shown this before? 46:14 Right? 46:15 And if you have seen it before, praise God. 46:18 But if you haven't, now you know why you exist. 46:21 Now you know why you are here. 46:24 Because the plan of God for your life is to reveal his 46:30 righteousness in you. 46:32 Now here's the question. 46:33 What does the righteousness, the life of Christ look like in 46:38 practical terms? 46:40 Because I can say here, Righteousness of Christ, 46:41 Righteousness of Christ. 46:43 What does that mean practically? 46:44 What does that look like in rice and beans, bread and 46:47 butter terms? 46:48 Well, here's a beautiful quote from the book Christ's Object 46:50 List. 46:52 The last message of mercy to be given to the world is a 46:58 revelation of his character of love. 47:04 The children of God are to manifest his glory. 47:09 What is the glory of God? 47:11 The glory of God is the manifestation of what? 47:14 Of his character of agape love. 47:18 That's righteousness in practical, amen? 47:21 In practical terms it's what? 47:24 Is God's love. 47:25 And how do we know what God's love is? 47:27 Just go into scripture and look, because God's glory and 47:30 his love is revealed in every single story. 47:32 And especially in the life of Jesus Christ, a life of what? 47:35 Of service. 47:36 A life of humility. 47:38 A life of surrender to others, amen? 47:40 To win their hearts over, so that he can what? 47:43 He can then share them and reveal to them God's plan for 47:46 them, which is complete salvation from the penalty, the 47:50 power, and the presence of sin, amen? 47:52 There's another quote that I did not add, but I'll read it 47:54 for you. 47:56 I love how this goes. 47:58 Notice what it says. 47:59 Through the church, that's you and me, amen? 48:02 Eventually, at some point in the future, will be made 48:07 manifest the final and full display of the love of God, 48:12 amen? 48:17 manifest his love, not partially, not incompletely, 48:20 not sometimes here, sometimes there, but finally and fully, 48:24 completely and consistently, and look at what the quote says 48:27 to finish. 48:28 The full and final display of the love of God to the world 48:31 that is to be lightened with his glory. 48:36 Well, wait a minute. 48:41 glory of God? 48:43 Romans, Revelation 18, verse 1. 48:47 The fourth angel's message, which is what? 48:49 It's the three angels' message on steroids, amen? 48:53 With the latter rain to go out and give the loud cry. 48:57 What's the title of this camp meeting? 49:00 Preparing to proclaim the final cry, amen? 49:04 What is the final cry? 49:05 It's the witness of God, which is his righteousness, which is 49:10 his love. 49:12 Agape unconditional of love that he did in Christ to 49:15 manifest it in each and every one of us. 49:19 That is the power of the everlasting gospel, my brothers 49:23 and my sisters, amen? 49:24 The power of love that transforms our life, and then 49:29 when others see that same love that we have witnessed and 49:33 experienced, because some people will not come into a 49:35 church, some people will not open the Bible, but the way 49:38 that they will initially see the love of God is through your 49:41 witnessing and mine, amen? 49:45 And that's going to draw them as it drew people and 49:48 multitudes to follow Christ, who says amen. 49:52 And notice what it says in the book of Galatians, chapter 1, 49:54 verse 15 and 16. 49:56 It says, When it pleased God, who separated me from when, and 50:02 what did he do? 50:03 He called me through his grace. 50:06 I have a question. 50:10 through his grace? 50:11 Why? 50:12 So that he can reveal his son in me that I may preach him 50:17 among who? 50:18 Among the Gentiles, amen? 50:21 God has also called you from before the foundation of the 50:25 world, from before you were even formed in your mother's 50:28 womb. 50:33 already chosen you, and God had accepted you in Jesus Christ, 50:36 it says in Ephesians chapter 1. 50:38 For what? 50:42 God called you for that, and that is why you and I exist. 50:47 And I love it how Galatians chapter 2 summarizes this 50:49 concept that says, we all know this, for I through the law 50:53 died to the law, that I might what? 50:56 Right? 50:59 of righteousness being manifested in me, amen? 51:02 But notice what it says, that I have been crucified with 51:06 Christ, amen? 51:07 And it is not the wrong or I who live, it is who? 51:11 Christ who lives in me, and the life which I now live in the 51:15 flesh, in this fallen nature, what does it say? 51:19 I no longer live by me in the flesh, I live by the faith of 51:24 the Son of God. 51:26 It's not that people see you and me, it's that they see 51:30 Christ in us, the hope of glory. 51:32 It's not that they see Carlos Muñoz, because I promise you, 51:36 if you spend enough time with me, I am going to disappoint 51:39 you. 51:41 I promise you, just ask my wife. 51:44 And if I spend enough time with you, guess what? 51:47 You're gonna disappoint me too. 51:49 That's just the nature of it, right? 51:51 This battle with self inside of us. 51:54 But if we are surrendered to God, and it is Christ who they 51:58 see in us, they will never be disappointed, because we will 52:02 never say, look at what I can do or what I... 52:04 No, look at what Christ has done in wicked me, in selfish 52:08 me. 52:09 This is not me. 52:09 People say, why are you this? 52:10 This is not me, please. 52:12 I was back there praying and said, God, don't let them see 52:14 me, because if not, it's gonna be a great disappointment. 52:17 I want them to see you, amen? 52:19 I want your glory to be exalted. 52:21 I want them to see you, amen? 52:24 Is that your purpose in life, that people see the glory of 52:28 God in you? 52:29 Is that what drives you? 52:32 Notice this quote, Desire of Ages, last quote. 52:35 God desires to manifest through you the holiness, the 52:40 benevolence, the compassion of His own character. 52:44 Amen? 52:45 Yet the Savior does not bid the disciples labor to bear much 52:48 fruit. 52:54 Don't try to be better, try to die better. 52:58 Amen? 52:59 It's about dying to self. 53:01 And so He can reveal Himself in us. 53:04 Notice what it says, it is through the Word that Christ 53:06 abides in His followers. 53:08 Is there a part here? 53:10 Oh, yes, that's what this is about. 53:12 What is the purpose of this book? 53:14 To see the glory of God. 53:17 Anytime you open this book, any story, from the beginning up to 53:20 the end, when you open it, read 2 Corinthians 3, verse 18, 53:24 Lord, take this veil off of my face, and let me contemplate 53:28 Your glory so that I can be transformed by it. 53:32 It's the glory of God in every story. 53:35 Our job is to what? 53:37 Go find it. 53:38 So when you're going to study your Bible, open it. 53:39 You say, Lord, I want to see Your glory. 53:42 And I've been walking with the Lord for 17 years, and there's 53:45 not been once where I don't have the right attitude and the 53:48 right time frame. 53:49 Nobody's going to bother me. 53:55 blessed in His presence. 53:56 Amen? 53:57 Why? 54:00 reveal it. 54:01 That's His desire so that you can see it. 54:03 Why? 54:07 Romans chapter 2, verse 4. 54:09 And that's how we are transformed by seeing His 54:12 glory, by seeing His righteousness. 54:14 Automatically, what do we see? 54:16 Selfishness, sin, pride. 54:20 And we say, Lord, I'm so sorry. 54:21 And you know what God does? 54:22 God says, well, too bad. 54:23 We can't do anything about that. 54:24 No. 54:25 He says, now, here's my son. 54:29 Not only am I going to cleanse you with His shed blood, but 54:32 now I'm going to impart to you the blood as our priest, as He 54:38 imparts His life to each and every one of us. 54:41 The imparted righteousness of Christ through His high priest 54:43 ministry. 54:45 The quote finishes. 54:46 Receiving them, you receive the life of the vine. 54:49 That's the life of Christ. 54:50 The life of Christ in you, notice what it says, produces 54:54 the same fruits as in Him. 54:57 Living in Christ, what's our part? 55:00 Adhering to Christ, supported by Christ, drawing nourishment 55:03 from Christ, you bear fruit after what? 55:06 The similitude of Christ, who says amen. 55:10 My brothers and my sisters, why do you exist in this world? 55:12 You do not exist in this world to have a nice house, to get a 55:15 nice job, to have nice things, to go on nice vacations. 55:17 Don't get me wrong. 55:18 Those things in and of themselves are not wrong. 55:21 But the purpose and the reason why you are alive and why God 55:25 has permitted you, and not only you that are sitting here, 55:27 those that are watching, anyone. 55:29 This message is to all humanity. 55:30 The purpose that you exist and the reason that God has 55:34 permitted you to come to this earth is because God wants to 55:37 reveal His glory in you. 55:39 Notice what it says in Isaiah chapter 43 verse 7. 55:42 Why do you exist? 55:43 Everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for 55:48 my glory. 55:50 Amen. 55:51 You exist for the glory of God. 55:54 The question is not if God is going to reveal His glory in 55:57 humanity. 55:59 it. 56:00 Amen. 56:04 and in me. 56:05 Are we going to participate and collaborate which implies 56:09 putting yourself in place to let God fulfill His covenant 56:12 promises. 56:14 Putting yourself in place to let God do what He said He was 56:17 going to do. 56:18 Amen. 56:19 And so I close with this Bible verse. 56:20 Isaiah chapter 60 verse 1 and 2. 56:24 Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the 56:28 Lord is risen upon you. 56:30 For behold the darkness shall cover what? 56:33 The darkness is covering the earth. 56:34 The deep darkness the people of the world but the Lord will 56:38 arise over you and what does it say? 56:40 And the Lord will arise over you and His glory will be seen 56:45 upon you. 56:46 Amen. 56:47 I have a question tonight my brothers and my sisters. 56:49 Do you want to fulfill the purpose that God has created 56:51 you for? 56:52 To reveal the righteousness the glory of God in Christ? 56:57 Stand up and arise and fulfill your God given command to live 57:02 and exist. 57:03 Amen. 57:06 So from now on what is going to be our main focus? 57:09 Seeking first the kingdom and the righteousness of God and 57:11 say God I want to reveal your glory and everything in my 57:14 life. 57:16 My time, my resources, my home, my family. 57:19 I want everything to be for your glory Lord and if it's not 57:23 in harmony with your glory please do what you need to do 57:26 to make sure it is. 57:28 Amen. 57:30 Who says Amen?
