Declare what God has declared
Hector Torres
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: Apostle Hector Torres spoke at the Lion of Judah church about the need for intercession and spiritual warfare to transform cities. He shared about the spiritual awakening happening in Latin America and Africa, and how the Latin American and Ibero-American church will play a role in the next spiritual awakening in the US. He also encouraged believers to see themselves as instruments of transformation and bearers of hope, regardless of any anti-immigrant laws or persecution. Torres reminded the congregation that God predetermined their purpose and place of dwelling, and that they are the true temple of God, not the physical building they were in.
The speaker discusses Psalm 139 and how God predetermined our lives and sent us to specific places for a purpose. As believers, we are called to be instruments of blessing and seek God in three ways: to know him, to serve him, and to seek him in prayer. We are called to seek peace and well-being in the cities and nations we reside in and pray for them. The speaker emphasizes the importance of speaking positively and declaring what God has declared, rather than speaking negatively or cursing others.
The speaker is discussing how God wants us to be instruments of blessing and to speak contrary to what the world says, but according to what God has declared. He references Jeremiah 29:11, where God says he has thoughts of shalom (fullness, health, well-being, security, etc.) for his people. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having a vision for oneself and for God, and how God wants us to be ordinary people doing extraordinary things. He encourages seeking God with urgency and hope, as God is good to those who wait for him. The speaker also promotes his book "El consejo de Elifaz," which discusses 8 principles for a life of success, prosperity, and tranquility.
The speaker discusses the importance of intimacy with God and the power of words. He urges listeners to return to God and to deposit God's promises in their hearts, which will lead to blessings and well-being. He also emphasizes the need to be careful of the words we speak and to declare what God has declared. The speaker concludes with a call to choose life and good over death and evil, as commanded by God.
God gives us the choice to choose between life and good, or death and evil. He commands us to love Him and follow His ways, so that we may live and be blessed. Jesus' words bring life and spirit. If anyone wants to make a commitment to God, they can raise their hand and say a prayer. We should be careful of what we declare with our mouths and in our hearts, as our words have great power. Let us declare God's good purpose and walk in it.

Today we have something very special and it is being able to participate in the ministry of Apostle Héctor Torres, his wife Miriam, who is also with us. For many of us he doesn't need much of an introduction because we have either read some of his books or have heard of his very strategic work in the area of intercession, of spiritual warfare. He has been used by God through the years to raise awareness among God's people of the need for intercession, how through spiritual warfare and the declaration of Christ's lordship, our cities can be won for the Lord.
We know that we are not involved in a merely religious, or even a social, economic battle. The Apostle Paul says, 'our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers'. That is to say, underneath all the desire to see our cities transformed there is a spiritual warfare that has to be carried out. If the strong man is not bound, his house cannot be evicted, or it can be taken.
