Are you in God's place and time?
Gregory Bishop
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The message is about keeping our appointments with God and being in the right place at the right time. The story of Jacob's dream and the Apostles waiting in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit show that God has specific appointments for us and it's up to us to be where we need to be. The verse in Ephesians 2:10 also emphasizes that God has prepared good works for us to walk in, but it's up to us to discover them. The story of Philip and the Ethiopian in Acts 8 shows that when we flow with what the Holy Spirit wants to do, we can be led to do great things for God.
The key to flowing with the Holy Spirit is to be where God wants us to be, doing what He wants us to do. We see this in the story of Philip and the Ethiopian, where Philip was prompted by the Spirit to approach the Ethiopian and share the Gospel with him. When we are in our position, we are in the flow of the Holy Spirit and the anointing awaits us. It's important to remember that we don't need to pray about certain things because we already know God's will, such as visiting those in need in hospitals and jails. We also need to be careful not to get ahead of God or be late to be in step with Him.
God wants us to be in the right place at the right time, following His plan for our lives. Sometimes, we may be tempted to go ahead of God or be late, but we need to keep pace with Him. It's also possible to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, which can lead to sin and negative consequences. We need to be present and attentive to God in all areas of our lives, including at home and at work. The sacrament is a sacred moment where we can confess our sins and have an encounter with God. We should strive to always be where God wants us to be.

Matthew 28, verse 10. And what I would like to share today, more than a sermon as a normal exposition, is more of a meditation based on something that I felt, that the Lord impressed me, based on this verse and that I felt I was sharing. with you and with myself, every time we preach here we preach to ourselves. I hope you know that. So Matthew 28 in verse 9 and 10, is after the resurrection, Jesus already in this text rose from the dead, and you know that the resurrection I hope we think more about it, that our God is alive, he lives, he does not is in the grave, the grave is empty.
Another story of my son since you want to hear all the stories of my son, right? Poor things. In a captive audience here, when I read to him about the resurrection in a children's Bible we always say, Jesus is alive, Jesus is alive, so we do like a cheer and he like he gets into that. One day my sister was talking on the phone, I used the word life I don't know why, I said, in all my life or something like that. And he said, life and he went to a Bible and a drawing of Jesus and he pointed. I thought, wow, thank God. I felt, and I thought thank God, I hope this reaches your heart. But knowing that our God is life and having this association well placed in the heart. And this is the basis of what we are going to talk about today.
