And I told him a pastor, let me 29 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,640 alert you, you introduce me as Vladimir. 30 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,720 They will answer Vladimir, then Pastor Tiff. 31 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,960 No, no, no, no. I will speak your name in 32 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,360 Portuguese. Vladimir. 33 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,080 And we arrived there and the first guy came and hey, this is 34 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000 Pastor Vladimir. Oh, Vladimir. 35 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,480 Pastor team, look at the river. You see, everybody was Vladimir. 36 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,400 Vladimir. Vladimir. 37 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:50,640 No, no, John the Jo. So all my life I had to explain 38 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,760 or correct when I arrived in a place or someone who is new for 39 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:06,440 me and it's not so wonderful. I'm good with that today, you 40 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:12,680 know. But this became a weed and I 41 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,120 spent many years thinking about Can you imagine me with four 42 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,600 years old, five years old, my name is rounding me. 43 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,360 And the guy said what? And you know, when you get 44 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480 there, the person stopped saying Vladimir. 45 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,640 And when they realize it's Vladimir, they say, Oh, Vladimir 46 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:43,800 with that faith that it's so uncomfortable. 47 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:53,720 And if you oh, I am so I I have I spent many times like thinking 48 00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:01,120 about I'm afraid to go to a new place or to meet new people 49 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,520 because when I meet them, they was my name and I'll have to 50 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,800 explain. So this became something my mind 51 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,680 new people, I'll have to say vow there they will say, Oh, 52 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:20,560 Vladimir. So feeling like shame about my 53 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:34,040 name and this kind of feelings and emotions can fracture us and 54 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,720 lead our personality and the way we respond. 55 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,280 I was thinking about how can I have a girlfriend? 56 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,400 Can you imagine? Hey, how are you? 57 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:55,280 My name is Vladimir. You see what you just did? 58 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880 I was thinking about how I will never have a girlfriend. 59 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,800 In my mind came the idea anyone who accept me can be my 60 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:20,100 girlfriend. So it's usual to face some 61 00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:29,920 situations in our lives that can fracture our emotions and create 62 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,480 pain and still our mental health. 63 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:42,680 So we the name of this series is Weeds in My Garden and we are 64 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,040 talking. It's all about mental health and 65 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:52,960 the way God loves you and how God is working to provide for 66 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,360 you and me health. And many times when we think 67 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,760 about mental health, the first understanding is about clinical 68 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,000 issues. And through this series we want 69 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,120 to address is spiritual issues that leads to mental health 70 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,360 issues. So today we will talk about a 71 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,560 new name, John. Can you imagine you arrive in a 72 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,040 place? What's your name, John? 73 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,880 They will not say, oh, Hallelujah. 74 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,760 No, Joan, just Joan. You see, So the name of this 75 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,960 message today is a new name. When Celia was pregnant, my 76 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,960 wonderful wife, when she was pregnant, she was always 77 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,080 pregnant. I just call her and she was 78 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,200 pregnant. Well, so she when she was 79 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,840 pregnant of ours first son, we were thinking about the name. 80 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,520 Can you imagine your baby?

Every place Bruno arrives. 112 00:09:26,510 --> 00:09:28,870 Bruno. We don't talk about Bruno. 113 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:49,280 We can take care and try to cover everything, but we always 114 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,360 can face unexpected things in our lives. 115 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:03,360 I did my best. I prayed with my wife to find a 116 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:10,520 name and we decide the same at Disney. 117 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Bruno. 2 movies in a row. Celencia, Bruno. 118 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,120 Stupid Bruno. We don't talk. 119 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,080 We can try to cover everything in our lives, everything we can 120 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:34,440 do, but sometimes or many times we can face what we were not 121 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:41,960 expecting. Life just happens and unexpected 122 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:49,800 things can change our lives and I'm sure most of us experienced 123 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:59,200 change in our lives. The impact of your choices or 124 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:07,800 the choices that others make for you can impact to fracture you 125 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:16,040 and create wounds, and the wounds can create different 126 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,920 behaviors. Let me introduce you, a person 127 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,520 who designed to live under fractures. 128 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Wait, have you? Been in here. 129 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,160 Patching the cracks. Oh, that. 130 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,480 No, no, no, no, no. I'm too scared to go near those 131 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,360 things. All the patching's done by 132 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,520 Hernando. Who is Hernando? 133 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,480 I'm Hernando, and I'm scared of nothing. 134 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,880 It's actually me, I say. My real gift was acting. 135 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,360 I'm holy. I made to sparkle. 136 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640 How long have you been back here? 137 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:15,080 You never left. Hi, Hernando, I am Jorge. 138 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:24,280 You see, Hernando and Jorge were who could deal with the cracks. 139 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,280 When he was Fernando, I am Fernando, it was me. 140 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:38,720 When he came back, it was me. Fractures can lead our lives. 141 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,320 I know it's funny, but at the same time it's terrible and for 142 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:52,280 sure not healthy. The movie shows that bad 143 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,600 experience usually create fractures and this guy in the 144 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:05,960 movie he developed weird behaviors to solve the cracks of 145 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:12,120 his life. Just being Hernando or Jorge, he 146 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:20,320 could face that things and many times you receive this false, 147 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,840 true, you cannot handle the things in your life because you 148 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,520 are not that person. You cannot handle because you 149 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,520 don't know how to use that. We don't have some tools. 150 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:47,000 The fracture, look at this, the fracture in his life led him to 151 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:55,640 prefer isolation, to prefer. He didn't like it did that, but 152 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:02,000 he preferred isolation. He preferred to be apart from 153 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,480 his family that he loved because of the fracture. 154 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,680 He preferred to be with rats. Did you see the rats? 155 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:26,560 He preferred close to the family but living with rats Sometimes 156 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:35,360 we didn't leave our houses, we didn't leave the family, but we 157 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,600 prefer the rats. Who are the rats? 158 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:51,680 How many divorce came from from fractures? 159 00:14:53,640 --> 00:15:01,960 Adultery in the family but preferring the rats? 160 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,600 Pornography. I'm the family, close to the 161 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:21,680 family, but I prefer the rats. How many conversations between 162 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:29,960 parents and kids? Spouse broke, broken because of 163 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,160 the fracture, the fracture leading what you will do. 164 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,840 So I love the family, but because of the fracture, I'm 165 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:51,720 living with rats. So we become who the fractures 166 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:59,680 says we are. At the Bible we see a lot of 167 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,880 names with meaning, but sometimes their lives were not 168 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:12,000 going according according to their names, meaning Naomi. 169 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:20,280 In the Old Testament, Naomi means my sweetness much better 170 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,320 than Vladimir. What's your name? 171 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,880 Naomi, you know, So Naomi means my sweetness. 172 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,680 But her life faced some really hard impacts. 173 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:47,320 Naomi she had her husband and two sons and her husband died 174 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:54,800 passed and right after her husband passed her two sons 175 00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:05,000 passed as well. Naomi she decide my name is not 176 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,119 Naomi anymore. My name is Mara. 177 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,920 I'm speaking the names in Portuguese because it's easier 178 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:20,160 for me, maybe in English mirror, you know, but for me it's Mara. 179 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:26,800 And Naomi said don't call me Naomi anymore, my sweetness. 180 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,600 Now my name is Mara, my bitterness. 181 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,200 So call me my bitterness. This is my name. 182 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:43,240 And first thing she did after change her name, she said to her 183 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,560 daughters in law. Daughters in law. 184 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,920 Hey, go back to your father's house. 185 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:55,200 Leave me alone. Fractures works. 186 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,960 Fractures work to lead you to be alone. 187 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:08,080 So, Naomi, just change her name. The fractures decide who I am. 188 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,920 And now I am Mara.

And I want to talk with you 191 00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:26,520 today about the story of Mary Bao. 192 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,840 Mary Bao. It's also in Portuguese. 193 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:36,000 He was not Brazilian, but so Mary Bao. 194 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,240 Mary Bao means the one who opposes Bao. 195 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:50,400 And Bao was a idol, bad idol in Israel and his father gave his 196 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,040 name like Mary Bao, the one who opposes Bao. 197 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,360 Strong guy. I am here to protect what Lord 198 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:03,120 said I am against this idol strong enough. 199 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,520 Can you feel that? What's her name? 200 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:16,320 Mary Bao, you know the one who opposes Bao many Bao. 201 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,960 He was look at this, he was son of Jonathan. 202 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:26,160 Jonathan was the son of the King Saul, the king of Israel. 203 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:33,080 So he was the grandson of the king and the king Saul. 204 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,640 He betrayed the Lord and he went to a battle and when he when he 205 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,600 was in that battle, he was killed. 206 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:51,200 So the king saw was killed. Same battle, his son Jonathan, 207 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,360 Mary Bao's father was also killed. 208 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,120 When the news arrived at the Mary Bao's house, the nurse 209 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,400 listen, all this terrible news, she took Mary Bao. 210 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,320 He was 5 at that time. She took Mary Bow and start 211 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:18,400 running. When she was running she dropped 212 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:29,360 Mary Bow. Mary Bow broke his feet and 213 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:35,880 could never walk again. He lost family. 214 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:41,640 He lost grandfather, father, he lost the Kingdom, he lost the 215 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:48,440 place you were living, he lost everything and this became 216 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,680 reality. And none of this were his fault. 217 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:05,000 After Saul, Saul the king Saul died, David, who was best friend 218 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:12,960 of Jonathan, Medibao's father Dave, who became the king, Dave 219 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:20,360 was best friend of Jonathan. And Dave mourn this death of 220 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:24,080 Saul and especially his friend Jonathan. 221 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,800 And he decide to do something. And I invite you to open your 222 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,560 Bible in Second Samwell Chapter 9. 223 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,360 If you don't have a Bible here on the overflow, just raise your 224 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:43,000 hand. The ushers will help you here in 225 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,560 front. Second Samuel Chapter 9. 226 00:21:52,240 --> 00:22:00,920 Second Samuel Chapter 9. We will read verse 1 to 8 to 227 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,840 Second Samuel Chapter 9. Dave asked, Is there anyone 228 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:12,680 still left of the House of Saul to whom I can show kindness for 229 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,640 Jonathan's sake? Now there was a servant of 230 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,160 Saul's household named Zeba. They summoned him to appear 231 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,000 before Dave, and the king said to him, Are you Zeba at your 232 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,320 service? He replied. 233 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,560 The king asked. Is there no one still alive from 234 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,080 the House of Saul to whom I can show God's kindness? 235 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,440 Zeba answered the king. There is still a son of 236 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,160 Jonathan. He is laying in both feet. 237 00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:46,160 Where is he? The king asked. 238 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,280 Zeba answered. He is at the House of Mercur in 239 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,960 Portuguese. He's the House of Mercur, son of 240 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,000 Amiel in Lou de Bar, almost Vladimir. 241 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:06,800 So, so King Dave had him brought from Lodibar from the House of 242 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,120 Marquis, son of Amiel. When Mephibosheth son of 243 00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:17,800 Jonathan, the son of Saul, came today, he bowed down to pay him 244 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,280 honor. Dave said Mephibosheth. 245 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,040 Let me tell you something, this guy is Mary Bao. 246 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:35,240 When he arrived, Dave call him Mephibosheth. 247 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:45,920 Dave didn't call him Mehriba, he called him Mephibosheth and the 248 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600 guy answered at your service. He replied. 249 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:56,880 Don't be afraid, Dave said to him, For I will surely show you 250 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,120 kindness. For the sake of your father, 251 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:06,200 Jonathan, I will restore to you all the land that belong to your 252 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,480 grandfather's soul, and you will always eat at my table. 253 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,680 Mephibosheth bowed down and said, What is your servant? 254 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:23,720 That you should notice a dead dog like me. 255 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:33,160 A dead dog like me, that's pretty low self esteem. 256 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,520 And that's the problem with self esteem. 257 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:50,160 It's based in self esteem is what we need, but it's the self 258 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,040 that's the problem. So esteem. 259 00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:04,280 Esteem means to have respect and a demeration, but it's hard to 260 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:10,440 have that for yourself when you know what you are going through, 261 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:17,320 what what you did. The dead sting can be the weeds 262 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:26,440 in my garden and we invite you to work to receive the restored 263 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:32,320 new self esteem coming from the Lord in Jesus name, Amen. 264 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,240 Can you say a better Amen? Now you're good. 265 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:43,160 So let's talk about self esteem. It's important to identify who 266 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:50,680 is the self so we don't use to change our names would be 267 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,920 amazing. Vowdermil to John, Can you 268 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:58,480 imagine three days after I was born, my dad think about oh, 269 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,960 it's not good, let's change to John. 270 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,560 Oh, he didn't. But we don't use to change our 271 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:14,920 name names. But a lot of times we identify 272 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:22,360 ourselves in our soul and emotions by the experience or 273 00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:31,360 traumas we had, the fractures. So I'm not sweet anymore, I'm 274 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,640 bitter. Call me bitter. 275 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,680 I'm deciding my new life is bitter. 276 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:45,280 I'm not the one who opposes Bow the idol, the dead idol. 277 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,280 I am the one who everything opposed to me. 278 00:26:54,120 --> 00:27:00,680 Then under these fractures we receive the bad self esteem. 279 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:07,920 Hebrews 12/15 says look after the Bible is amazing. 280 00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:13,960 It's not in Hebrews 12/15 I'm telling you the Bible is. 281 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,840 I mean every time you open your Bible something is going to 282 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,760 happen. God is talking with you. 283 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:29,360 So Hebrews 12/15 says look after each other so that none of you 284 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,360 fails to receive the grace of God. 285 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,880 Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grow up to trouble 286 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:47,040 you corrupting many. So in the Hebrew culture any 287 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:53,280 poisonous plant was called bitter plant. 288 00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:03,360 So something we eat or allow to enter in US and become the bad 289 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,920 self esteem. So maybe you received a 290 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:13,840 nickname, sometimes a terrible one that you hated or 291 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,760 automatically open an emotion door to become another person 292 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,600 and to develop behaviors and decisions under the decisions 293 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,400 under this concept or fracture yourself esteem. 294 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,000 And we need to consider, look at this. 295 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:40,760 We need to consider we have an enemy and the Bible says he is 296 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,800 not just an enemy against your finances or against your health, 297 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:52,120 against your future plans. The Bible says the enemy is 298 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,280 against and he is the enemy of our soul. 299 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:06,240 He wants to devour who we are. He wants to devour your esteem 300 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:14,360 first. Peter 58 says be alert and of 301 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,160 sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls 302 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,880 around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 303 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:32,720 Let's think about this. The enemy plays like a lion the 304 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,880 way we we are. We are reading here. 305 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,600 But he prowls around, you know what? 306 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:46,960 Prowls around like you know. But why? 307 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,920 This noise means that he's stronger than you. 308 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,160 He's trying to say that so you feel weak under him. 309 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:08,000 He wants to devour who you are, so he prowls. 310 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:15,920 You cannot do this. The fractures many times 311 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,920 fragilize, make you fragile, make you weak, make us weak in 312 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,600 our soul, and we open a new understanding. 313 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:34,920 You know Vladimir, You know what means a name that you have to 314 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:40,000 explain to every No, no, no. So Vladimir means governor. 315 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,880 I cannot have power even to explain my name. 316 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,320 So how I am governor, if people cannot understand, cannot 317 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,160 understand my name. So in my mind, I decide I'll not 318 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,560 talk with anybody, I'll not talk with people, I'll not say my 319 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,480 name. I'm shame of my name. 320 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,640 And you know, God gave me something. 321 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,960 God gave me something to talk with people. 322 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,040 I talk with people even when they don't want to talk with me. 323 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,680 I like to be in a place, I like to talk with people. 324 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,680 I like to be in new place, even in new language. 325 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,400 When I went to Ukraine and said, hey, what are you saying? 326 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,280 I don't know. I'm trying to say speak your 327 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:44,480 language. This is the calling that God 328 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,640 gave to me. But how can I be this if I am 329 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,800 Vowdermere, nobody can understand my name. 330 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,760 So the fractures trying to live my life, the fractures trying to 331 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,760 say who I am, Are you following me? 332 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,520 This is my calling. I love to talk with people. 333 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400 Pastor Tim. Tim just said to make disciples. 334 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,400 It's amazing. You talk with someone and they 335 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,680 say something to you and you can lead them to Jesus. 336 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:25,200 The best thing ever. So the fractures and the lion 337 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:34,040 try to proud around to make us feel we are weak, we are under 338 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:39,680 that fracture. And this passage says be alert 339 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,000 and of sober mind. I need to tell you this, the 340 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:48,720 Greek word for sober mind is nepsati is also in Portuguese 341 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:57,240 nepsati, which means look at this, be of sound judgment with 342 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,600 the Spirit for the purpose of prayer. 343 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:07,080 So be alert and sober mind. Sober mind means I see what the 344 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,920 enemy is doing with the Spirit to pray. 345 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,360 I will pray. I will not be under the 346 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:18,000 emotions. I will pray Nepsat sober mind. 347 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:24,920 The enemy's way is to lie to us, but you know he does not use the 348 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:35,600 way they I will destroy you. So I want to talk with you about 349 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,440 the enemy's strategy. Are you ready? 350 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:51,240 So he tried to act as you, saying to you your feelings that 351 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,080 you don't have, trying to convince you. 352 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:02,880 So he comes after you and say he is saying I am rejected. 353 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:09,719 And we feel these thoughts came from our hearts. 354 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:17,360 It's not this is the threat. A lot of things that we think 355 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,320 came from that the fractures that happened. 356 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,600 God can help us and he's saying there's no way for me. 357 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,760 He's saying there's no way for me. 358 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:35,040 He's saying and we live and death thinking about we are 359 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:40,400 thinking about this. I am thinking this kind of 360 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,159 thoughts. Are you following me? 361 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:49,280 So he comes and say I am rejected and we feel it's me. 362 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:57,640 He's saying if you are at I4 wonderful place, a lot of people 363 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:04,120 there OK or Disney lines, you have 3 hours to get that place 364 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,520 and someone close to you says to you I am rejected if Oh no God 365 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:15,640 loves you you know, but the enemies tries try to speak as 366 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,680 you. So you think that you are 367 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,040 thinking about this by yourself? Are you following me? 368 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:30,400 I'm trying to speak Portuguese. So he's saying I am rejected. 369 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:39,880 Nobody want to be with me. He's saying I'm not good enough 370 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:49,740 for my family, for this place.

Everything in my life is 373 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,880 terrible, my life. He's saying that the enemy is 374 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,280 working to create thoughts, but I need to tell you that thoughts 375 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:17,560 are not yours. Thought have you ever listened 376 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:23,280 this kind of thoughts? Please in Jesus name consider 377 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:29,000 the truth. Pray to hear God's voice and not 378 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:37,120 the enemy's voice acting as you two wonderful actions to 379 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,720 practice. Submit and resist. 380 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,800 Can you say with me to be listened in Brazil? 381 00:36:52,610 --> 00:37:01,480 Submit and resist. OK 123 perfection, submit and 382 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,240 resist. James chapter 4 verse 7 says 383 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:11,840 submit yourselves then to God, resist the devil and he will 384 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:17,280 flee from you. Are you receiving this submit 385 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,920 yourself then to God, submit to God. 386 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,720 You know what means submit to God is I'm reading the Bible and 387 00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:29,640 wow, he's saying that I'm submitting my life to this 388 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,320 submit yourself. Oh, I'm learning about God's 389 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,360 love. He sent his son. 390 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,960 He said his son to die for you. He loves you. 391 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,080 I will submit my life under this love. 392 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:49,600 So the the way to fight is submit yourselves under to God. 393 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,560 So I will learn you need to read the Bible. 394 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,280 You need to know our God so you can submit and practice that you 395 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,680 are coming to church where listen the message so submit 396 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:06,440 yourselves to God. I'm hearing that from the Lord. 397 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,440 I will submit my life for this. You know this is the way. 398 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,520 Then the second step, resist the devil is not resist the devil 399 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,640 alone, but submit to God and resist the devil. 400 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,840 Can you imagine you're reading the Bible this evening? 401 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,560 How many healing are coming from you? 402 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,280 Just because you are deciding? I will. 403 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,200 I will read and I will submit. I will not just know the 404 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:42,360 information, but I will submit. God said everything is possible. 405 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,400 I will submit my life, everything is possible. 406 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,200 I will see my family change. I will see the blessings on the 407 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,160 Lord come into my life. I will see because he said it's 408 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,160 possible. I sue me. 409 00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:01,520 Then the second step, resist. Resist the devil. 410 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,760 It's amazing. Resist and he will flee from 411 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,800 you. The guy will remove. 412 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,920 He will flee from you. This is the Bible. 413 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,800 How do you resist when you listen the voice, I'm rejected, 414 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,680 I'm not good enough. This year is going to be 415 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,800 terrible. Everything is saying is going to 416 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,600 be terrible. God said that. 417 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,960 Resist, Submit to God and resist. 418 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,480 Stand against. Nobody loves you. 419 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:43,280 God said that resist so let's start to resist. 420 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:52,240 Ephesians 611 says put on the full armor of God so that you 421 00:39:52,240 --> 00:40:00,440 can take your stand against the devil schemes put on the full 422 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,000 armor of God.
