Search me, oh God, and test me

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The speaker reflects on the difficulty of truly surrendering oneself to God's will, despite the beauty of the words that express it. He references Psalm 139, in which the psalmist asks God to examine his heart, acknowledging that only God can truly know one's character. The speaker notes that this process can be uncomfortable and vulnerable, like a physical exam at the doctor's office, but it is necessary for spiritual growth. He emphasizes the importance of letting God examine us on his own terms, without conditions or reservations. The speaker concludes by urging listeners to have the courage and willingness to let God work in their hearts.

The speaker talks about the importance of examining one's heart and allowing God to test and reveal the hidden things within. He emphasizes the need to keep one's heart pure and avoid being influenced by the world around. He also touches upon the idea that every temptation is an opportunity to do good if one responds according to God's will. The speaker ends with a prayer for God's blessings on the listeners and a request for the message to resonate with them.


How beautiful it is to hear those words sing, break my heart, break my life, I surrender my will to you. How nice it sounds. Don't you feel like singing it again?

But do you know why I say it, my brothers? It sounds very nice to sing it but how difficult it is to do it. How difficult it is to do. Lord, I only ask you now that these words that were changed in my heart at the last minute, Lord, help me to be faithful to what you want to say, Jesus, and that it serve as an edification for your people and your children and daughters tonight. I ask you, Jesus, I put myself as an instrument in your hands today more than ever, Lord, and I beg you to please help me to be so in tune with you, Lord, that I can listen to you well to know how to communicate this word and that all of us can have an open heart to receive it and act accordingly. I ask it in the name of Jesus. Amen.
