Facing challenges with our gaze fixed on God

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The speaker talks about the two mentalities in God's people: scarcity mentality and abundance mentality. He uses the example of the story of Joshua and Caleb and the spies in the Book of Numbers to illustrate this. The ten spies saw only the obstacles and difficulties of the task ahead, while Caleb and Joshua believed in the vision through the eyes of God and trusted in divine provision. The speaker encourages the congregation to have faith and not be discouraged by the challenges ahead, as God has been faithful in the past. He shares the experience of building two buildings and renovating them, and how it has strengthened the congregation's faith and ministry vision. He sees the building of a new temple as a prophetic act, a holocaust raised before God for His glory. He invites the congregation to participate in a ceremony to celebrate the new building.

There is a passage that I, in other times, have commented on, but I want to leave it here, at this time, when we undertake a difficult work that challenges us, that forces us to be visionaries and trust that this has to be from God. , due to the magnitude of what lies ahead. I have always said that in God's people there are only two types of mentality. What I would call a scarcity mentality and what I would call an abundance mentality.

I know that I have spoken about this before but I want to engrave it in your heart in light of what we are doing, and I have also said that in any great undertaking that challenges the intellect and that challenges the sense of sufficiency that one has, the God's people are divided into two camps. Those who look at the obstacles and who look at the difficulty of the work and the threats and obstacles that lie ahead, in potential. And those who see the vision through the eyes of God and become part of that effort for God to be glorified and set their sights, put their trust in divine provision.
