God has a better destiny for your life

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The passage from First Chronicles chapter 4 verses 9 and 10 talks about Jabez, who was born under a sign of pain and suffering. His mother named him Jabez, which means pain. Despite this negative beginning, Jabez becomes more illustrious than his brothers, which suggests that he had something special that set him apart. Jabez prays to the God of Israel, asking for a blessing, the enlargement of his territory, and protection from evil. God grants him what he asked for. The passage shows how pain can lead to unique access to spiritual principles and how we can use negative experiences as a starting point for better things. It also emphasizes the importance of the names we give ourselves, the programming we have, and how we relate to pain.

The speaker believes that God uses pain in our lives for a purpose and it depends on how we relate to that pain. Pain can make us more compassionate and humble, and enable us to console others. The speaker uses the example of Jabez, who despite experiencing pain, was able to release his bitterness and pray a beautiful prayer. The prayer consisted of five elements: passion, visualization, urgency, blessing, and deliverance from evil. The speaker encourages us to dream and believe in great things, be passionate and courageous in our requests to God, and cultivate a sense of urgency and need. The speaker believes that if we are in the will of God, His blessing must be with us, and we should visualize our lives as lives that God is pleased to bless.

The article discusses Jabez's prayer and how it applies to Christians today. It encourages readers to live their lives with purpose and to ask God for blessings and expansion in their lives. The article also emphasizes the importance of seeking the power of God and living a life of a warrior. Finally, it discusses the need to pray for protection against evil and negative influences that may come with blessings.

The speaker discusses the dangers that come with success and blessings in the church, and the need for spiritual warfare and protection. He emphasizes the importance of remaining true to the Word of God and not compromising for a select audience. He also acknowledges the current state of evil in the world and the need for Christians to cover themselves and their families with the blood of Jesus. The speaker encourages a sense of urgency and seriousness in living the Christian life, as times are bad and clear people are needed. The story of Jabez is used to illustrate how prayer and a pleasing heart can lead to a changed destiny.

I want to start by reading First Chronicles chapter 4 verses 9 and 10, the Word of the Lord says like this: "And Jabez" notice that "and", "And Jabez was more illustrious" that word captivated me when I read that sentence for the first time , I went and looked it up in the original Hebrew, “And Jabez was more illustrious than his brothers, whom his mother called Jabez” he had other brothers but it says that Jabes was more illustrious than them; His mother named him Jabes, why did he name that? "because I gave birth to him in pain" pain, another key word to understand this story.

Verse 10 then says: "And Jabez called upon the God of Israel saying: oh if you would give me a blessing and enlarge my territory, and if your hand were with me and delivered me from evil so that it does not harm me" and how nice in the end that last one little note that says: "and God granted him what he asked for" it's good to have that little note there, right? because we know that that prayer that Jabes presented before the Lord was successful.
