Every crisis is an opportunity

Omar Soto
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The speaker shares about a message he received from a preacher about God's plan for the church and the importance of having faith in it. He then tells the story of a boy named Juan Sebastián de Sidón who lived with his mother during a time of great need and drought. One day, a man named Elijah visited them, and although the mother gave him their last bit of food, a miracle occurred, and their flour and oil barrels were full again. Later, Juan Sebastián fell ill and died, but Elijah brought him back to life through prayer. The speaker highlights the connection between Juan Sebastián and Jezebel, who was also from Sidon, and emphasizes the need for boundless faith in seeing God's miracles in our lives.

The story of Juan Sebastian from Sidon teaches us that God is sovereign and in control, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. We must have supernatural faith and trust in God's promises, even when we cannot understand them. This requires sacrifice and a willingness to let go of our own limitations and trust in God's provision. As a church, we must prepare ourselves to see God working in a powerful way, even when the world may think we are crazy.


The speaker believes that God is going to work in a powerful way in their church, and that they need to have faith and make sacrifices to see it happen. They ask everyone to take out their phones and call someone who needs to hear a message of hope and faith. They believe that through these phone calls, God will touch people's hearts and bring about change. The speaker prays for the phone calls to be successful and for God's grace and power to be present in the conversations.


Last night I was sharing in the Church of Pastor Alan Juárez, the New Life Christian Church there in East Boston. Last night Brother Rigoberto Rojas was preaching, I don't know if you remember, he was here preaching in the month of November, he is this Brother from over there in Costa Rica, that God uses greatly at that prophetic level and while we were there I was impacted much with the first words that he used to begin his message because he was saying that there is something that God is doing with the Church around the entire world

, there is something that God is doing with his people around the world and yes obviously it is heard in terms of a great revival that God is going to bring in the midst of lives, but the means through which that revival will take place is what God is working on in particular, and God is using of each of the needs, of each of the circumstances, of each of the situations that your children feel and suffer around the world to glorify your name.
