Summary: The speaker gives a message about breaking the cover and veil that covers people and nations, which must be destroyed for the glory of God to fall on a place. He explains that there are places where the grace of God abounds, and the heavens are open, while others feel heavy and oppressive. The speaker then explains that there are three heavens and describes the first heaven as the heaven of men, where everything is controlled and managed by our senses. The second heaven is higher and beyond our senses, where spiritual warfare takes place. To open the heavens, we must break the cover that is holding us back and move beyond our senses to a place of spiritual warfare.

The speaker discusses the concept of three heavens: the heaven of men, the heaven of demons, and the heaven of God. The first heaven is a sensory-based heaven, while the second heaven is an emotional-based heaven where demons reside. The third heaven is a spiritual-based heaven accessible through a person's spirit. The speaker emphasizes the importance of worshiping God to break the resistance of the second heaven and access the open heavens of the third heaven. The speaker also discusses the power and authority given to believers by Jesus to take back what the devil stole from them. The enemies of the second heaven are scattered when God rises up and believers declare their authority over the devil. The speaker encourages listeners to know their enemies and choose to leave them as adversaries rather than enemies that can destroy their emotions and souls.

The pastor speaks about the importance of being a warrior for God and not allowing anyone to destroy one's soul or emotions. He emphasizes the power of prayer and worship in opening up the heavens and receiving miracles. He shares a story about how his church transformed a nightclub into a church by praying and anointing the street. He encourages everyone to declare and claim their blessings from God and not let the devil destroy their lives.

Today I want to give you a word that I know will be a blessing and God told me to give this word because there are people here who have been fighting for things that God has already signed. Look, God already made him like this, he put the seal on it, but these people, pastor, are wondering what is happening that what I should have by this date, I still don't have it? Do you know what God tells you? Today I have decided to open the heavens and put it in your favor. Amen. Hallelujah!

Today I have decided to open the heavens and put it in your favor. Already on Sunday I will be sharing with your pastors, I will be with Roberto and Mercedes Miranda, we will be sharing here and at this moment allow me just to give a very special greeting to the vice consul of the Dominican Republic in this state, our dear Geraldine Baez what's here. Hallelujah! Thank you for your kindness and to your fiancé, David, also thank you for your kindness.

So I'm ready to share a word and this word is going to be a lot of blessing. Amen. Do you get this word? From Santo Domingo, the eastern zone receive this word. Glory to God. likewise, sister, the blessing will fall on you first for what you just did. Amen.

We are going to read in Isaiah, Chapter 25, verse 7 is where we are going to share the word today. This word is a word that blessed our lives, that changed the focus of our church in the Dominican Republic. Isaiah Chapter 25, verse 7, tell me if you have it there. Let's see what Isaiah says, Chapter 25, verse 7, listen carefully, the holy word says:

“…And he will destroy on this mountain, listen well, pay attention to me, and he will destroy on this mountain the cover with which all the peoples are covered…”

How many towns? All. All towns have a deck. So the other party says:

“…and the veil that covers all the nations…”

How many nations I ask? All, so all the peoples have a covering, they have a veil, but the nations are also covered. There is something that is covering the nations and there is something that is covering the peoples.

I want to tell you that this something that is covering, as it says here, will destroy on this mountain the covering that covers the peoples, and the veil that surrounds and covers the nations. There is something that has to be destroyed, there is something that cannot continue there, it has to be broken, there is something that we have to break definitively and here it says that it is a cover for the peoples and that it is a veil that surrounds the nations.

So that you understand a little, by way of introduction, what I am telling you, I am from the Dominican Republic, I am a pastor in the Dominican Republic and if I do not know what cover must be broken in the Dominican Republic, then my pastorate will be limited because there is something that has to be broken for the glory of God to fall on a place.

Let's see it as follows. If I talk to you, for example, about a city, we are going to put Seattle, the city of Seattle, if I mention that one that is from here, from the United States, I will find that there is a cover on that city, there is a pastor well-known from here in the United States, who visited the city of Seattle and when it was barely dawn he began to feel depressed and began to feel as if life had no meaning.

At the moment he began to think what is happening to me? The truth is that what was happening to him was nothing new, because it is a situation in the city. When he analyzes, he falls to his knees, as you did at 3 in the morning, because when the Lord alerts you have to wake up. And he jumped at 3 in the morning and began to pray, and then the Lord gave him light on what was happening.

Do you know what happened to him? That he was slowly being invaded by a spirit of depression and suicide. When he analyzes the situation, he realizes that the city of Seattle is the city with the highest suicide rate in the United States. If a pastor, if a minister does not know what is the cover that is over a people, then that cover will never be broken.

I am a pastor in the Dominican Republic, and since I am a pastor from the Dominican Republic, I have to know which spirits I am struggling with. But those spirits are not only in a city, those spirits are also in a person. Each person knows what they are struggling with, what you struggle with is not what I struggle with. What's bringing down your life isn't what's bringing down mine. I must know what my care area is, and I must know where I must put order and where I must make God pay attention to what is happening with me.

But that can also happen with a family. A family can also face situations. I'm going to put it this way. There are families that fight against prostitution, but others fight against divorce. There are families where everyone gets divorced or where no one gets married. Or as a lady once told me, pastor, I am about to turn 60 and as a family when we turn 60 we go crazy. Do you know what she was prepared for? To freak out, because she had gotten the cover that was on her family.

You don't have to receive a cover that doesn't bless you. You have a mouth full of authority to break and establish what you want. If the applause is giving it to God, make it complete, because tonight God comes with good things.

However, when the lady told me that she was expecting crazy, I told her, look, lady, I rebuke every spirit of madness in her life. And I told him, the curse that touched your family does not have to touch you. There are people who believe that if my family had cancer, I have to have it. Well, I am going to say something to my ancestors, if they did not leave me an inheritance, they should not leave me diseases either, because what I want is a blessing.

If the applause is for God then give it and give it good. Boston hasn't just started. What's happening? Get more out of it. Get more out of it because I'm almost done. Quick and don't hurt.

Well, let me tell you the following, starting from this I have learned a truth, which has given me blessing and benefit. And tonight I'm going to leave it here because there are people here, listen to me, there are people here that this month and write it down, to find out if a prophet passed through this house, this month there are people who have been struggling for years, for something that knows that it belongs to them and that corresponds to them and on this night the sky opens and stands on your side and in your favor.

Praise him that he lives. Praise him that he lives. Well let me tell you, there is something that has to break. I just want you to allow me quickly, succinctly and in detail to tell you the following. Look brothers, there are people who live under a condition of favor and grace from God so great that every day they see the hand of God visit them.

I am going to tell you more, there are places where the grace of God is so abundant that when you arrive you feel that there is a grace there. That can be a house, an office, a church, a place, a town, a country, that from the moment you arrive you feel that there is grace, that there is an abundance of God in that space, that there is favor from God. I have come to houses that since I enter I say, wow, here is a glory of God, here are people who have God.

But there are other places that one arrives and as soon as one enters, one feels as if the water and electricity have been cut off. At the moment you feel as if you were locked in and you feel a literal weight and those who are intercessors know very well what I am talking about today, the people who intercede, the people who come to places because they are more sensitive. And the sensitivity that they have allows them to feel how the spirits are binding places.

There are houses that one visits that from the moment one arrives, even if they give you coffee, your head hurts. They give you the coffee but it hurts. And it gets heavy and some places are so strong that you feel nauseated. I know that I am speaking for people who are understanding me, right? Don't think that I'm being a spiritualist, nor that I'm planting something strange either. I know very well where I am standing and I know very well what I am talking about. The spiritual world is complicated, it is complex. I don't understand it but at least I know that I have the strength and power of the Holy Spirit to mark the territory and establish what I want.

Well, I'm going to tell you this way, that's called God's favor. God's favor is something that abounds so much in a person who has learned to depend on God that when that favor arrives and that grace arrives, do you know what it is called? The heavens are open. So open skies is a place where God's favor abounds, it is a space of easy access to the divine.

Brothers, there are churches that you sing number 1, number 2, number 3 and you don't feel anything. And number 4 and 5, see that number 5 is strong, praise him that he lives and you don't feel anything. Nothing.

But there are other places that from the moment you arrive and enter the door, you immediately feel that the grace of Jehovah of Hosts is there. Praise him now.

Now, walk with me, I'm going to tell you something, people talk about the open sky and I'm going to tell you how the heavens open, and which is the sky that needs to be opened. I'm going to leave that and I'm going. And I'll be back on Sunday.

But I'm going to tell you that, look, everyone who is here, if they don't know, should know today, there are three heavens. How many there are? Three skies. And how do I realize that there are three heavens? Second Corinthians, 12 from 2 to 4. What does it say? I won't read it to you but I'm going to paraphrase it for you. Paul says that he knew a man who was in the third heaven, and he refers to himself. He says he was where? In the third heaven No one reaches three without going through one and two.

So if he was in the third heaven, he went through one and he went through two. And he got to three. But he says that in three was God. if God is in the three, there are not four. Because if there are four it is higher. Praise him that he is more up. There is no fourth heaven, there are three. Three skies.

Now, how do I get heaven to be open over my house, over my children, over my finances, over my marriage, over my body, over my health? How do I achieve it? I'm going to give him that quickie and I'm leaving.

Heard what he says. The first heaven is the heaven of men, it is the heaven where we are. This is the first heaven where we live. He knows how far the first sky reaches, how far the planes fly. The first sky is as far as the planes go, everything that we control, everything that we manage, that is called the first sky.

If you go out during the day and look up, all you see is the first sky. If he goes out now at night, he's going to see beyond the first, he's going to see the second. During the day you see the first one, and at night which one is seen? The second. Praise him now.

What happens is that the second heaven is a little higher. Let me tell you a little about the first to go to the second. In the first heaven, the heaven of men, everything we have, do and manage is what our senses allow us to do. This is a heaven of senses, what I like, what I smell, what I see, what I touch, what I can touch, what I feel, what I taste, because the only thing that allows me to assess what is in this plane is my senses. I see this, I can see it, I can touch it, I can taste it. I have control of the foreground through the senses. That is called the sensors. So I can relate to the natural sky, I can relate to the natural sky through my senses.

That is why we cannot have a church that is from the first heaven, because no one is going to limit the problems. In the first heaven there is never satisfaction, in the first heaven we never tire of touching, of seeing, of speaking, of saying, of complaining. The first heaven is a heaven of complaints, it is a heaven of lamentation, it is a heaven of needs, it is a heaven where people do not yet have a supernatural experience that allows them to know that even if the fridge is empty, we do not depend on that day, we depend on what Jehovah said, and if it is empty I am giving thanks, not because it is empty but because what is empty in a man or woman of God is about to be filled. Praise him that he lives. It's about to fill up.

Do you understand? So the first heaven is a limited heaven. But there is a second heaven that is a different heaven. In the first heaven we have access through our senses, but in the second heaven we have access through our soul. The soul is the intermediate point of man, so in the foreground I make contact with myself, with my senses, but in the background I make contact, you know what? With my emotions. I depend on the second heaven, it is a heaven of emotions, lack of forgiveness, lack of love. Because? Because there alone in the second heaven Paul is the only one who talks about him and do you know what Paul says about the second heaven? Which is where the spiritual hosts of evil dwell.

In the second heaven is where the demons are, it is where the spiritual beings of evil are, the celestial regions are called by Paul. Regions where powerful entities move.

And now I am going to tell you something, the amount of spirits that are over the nations, over the peoples, are affecting the way men conduct themselves. The demons are making a lot of people make bad decisions, that's why I only have contact with the second heaven in my soul. The devil can't touch my body unless God gives him an authority, he has to go get a piece of paper from heaven to touch my body. Because if the devil could kill me he would have killed me by now, but he can't.

Do you know why you can't? For the angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him and defends them. If you are understanding, let's grab the little thing. But listen to what he says now. And with this I will leave you.

The second heaven the demons to have contact with me have to affect the middle point of my life. What's that? My emotions. My feelings, what does Satan want to do every day? hurt your emotions, hurt your feelings, make you depressed, make you not feel like praising God.

Do you know what an agent is, brothers? Bathing, spending water bathing. Ironing clothes, smearing perfume, wasting soap, wasting gasoline to fill a temple and when he arrives, say he doesn't want to worship, no, give the Lord a round of applause because that can't be happening. How is it possible? What happens is that there is an indecipherable spiritual warfare, sometimes we don't understand how a person arrives at church and gets sleepy. The service ends and he leaves the church and is looking for people to talk to. Oh, but there is no one for me to talk to, I have little points, I have some points to deal with. Why do people wake up when they leave church? Because we are going to continue going through the struggle that we are going through here if we do not understand that this is a spiritual world and that the devil is trying to affect my emotions, therefore, brothers, when someone does not welcome you with a hug, do not care, move on, worship God, worship God.

The second heaven is the cloud that must be broken, because the demons are up there, moving, you know what? On our sky, on the sky of men. Now, the third heaven, which is higher up, the way I relate to the third heaven, is neither body nor soul, it is spirit.

The Bible says that the one who is united to Jesus is a spirit with him. The Bible says, brothers, that neither blood nor body inherits what is above, that spirit. So the place where what is of God establishes a person's life is in his spirit. So the third heaven has contact with me through my spirit.

My spirit is filling with grace. My spirit is filling with strength. When the spirit controls, the soul submits and the body is out of the question. Do you know where the body of a spiritual person goes? Where the spirit says Do you know where the body goes, the spirit of a carnal person? Where the meat says.

So now I have a situation, do you know what it is? The situation is as follows, the heaven of men, the heaven of demons and the heaven of God. There are things that God's heaven has already determined for me, but in the second heaven, they are opposing my receiving what is mine. Because the second heaven is in the middle of God and that of men, making resistance so that the glory that has been determined does not come here, does not reach this place. So, brothers, what has to be broken is the second heaven.

And how do I break the second heaven? I break it by worshiping God. When I adore God... give it, give it, don't resist. When I adore God I break the second heaven. The second heaven is breaking since I started to worship and you will tell me, why? I'll tell you why. Because God said, that where they worship him there he was going to dwell.

I am going to tell everyone who is here, very good instruments, very good musicians, very good worship, but in heaven they sing better. That's not? Is it so? I'm going to tell you that an angel has never hit a chord or hit the wrong note, never, those angel fingers fall where they have to. The angels who adore have never missed a rooster. Because when they sing they are perfect. But you know what God said? God said, even though my heaven is perfect, when they adore me down there and sing music for me, even if they're not very good at chords, in case that's what it is, I'm going to leave my perfect heaven and go to their presence.

Give the Lord a round of applause. Give it to him loudly, I'm not listening to you. I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there.

Now, in heaven, three great archangels moved. The first, Gabriel, the one who carries the messages, this one has a number of angels that move around running errands. Look, the brother prayed that he wants such a thing, angel number 1, quickly. So, they are running the errands. Gabriel controls.

There is another one called Miguel. Do you know what Miguel has? Zero diligence, sword everything. They are the warrior angels. That no more descend when you say, Father, plead my cause. Miguel says, angels, quick swords drawn, go defend the cause of that son. Note that I'm almost gone. Odalis has to take me.

Well, let me tell you the third. The third is called Luzbel, he is the worshiper, he was the one who made the sky vibrate, he says he had drums embedded in his body and that the grace he had was so great that when that archangel went through the sky, with all those drums, ding, ding, ding, everyone was there, there goes Luzbel, oh look at Luzbel. And he began to feel proud, and proud, and proud, and then they left him. They fired him from work. They removed it because there are people who believe that if they are not there, things will fall.

If the devil was removed and it was not necessary, praise him that he lives. Give him a big round of applause. Give him a big round of applause. Wait brothers, you know what? When they threw him away, he said, well, I'm leaving, he took all his angels he could, all those who worshipped, brother, even the fleeer left, he took him, little brother also left. They all left. They left heaven with nothing and then God said, and now what will we do to have worship in heaven? And the Son said, I would sacrifice myself to raise a people to replace the devil and demons. Give it a big round of applause. I'm not hearing you. Give him the applause. are you understanding me?

Now, listen what happened. Jesus comes and raises up a people on earth and tells them that they are the worshipers and delivers the redeemed to God. Do you know who has Luzbel's position now? Us. Every time we say, glory to God, the space trembles. Every time we raise our hand, the space trembles. When you say glory to God, when you raise your hands.

Now, I am going to tell everyone who is here, if you are a saint, tell me the truth. Doesn't one struggle to worship God sometimes? Do you know why? Because since the devil isn't doing it, he wants you to be neither. The church's position is that when you raise your hands, the devil is in trouble. Can you imagine a church, imagine that here in the United States today all the churches at this time agree and begin to worship and cry out and adore, with their hands raised. Tell me where does the devil have to take? No one puts up with a worshiping church.

So, listen to what the Bible says. The bible says, arise oh God, be scattered my enemies, does it say so? How do you say? Rise up oh God, be scattered who? My enemies. Well, I am going to tell you the following, when you adore God rises up and the enemies of the second heaven know that he is coming to the first heaven. Therefore, the enemies of the second heaven are scattered because they literally run away, running. That applause is missing. That applause is missing.

What is going to happen is that in this season the church is going to live a stage of open heavens and people who had not seen the glory of God are going to begin to feel it. Do you know what gives you when the sky opens up? And when you see when everything is in your favor? What we do is the following, that everything that the devil stole from us he has to give us back, he has to give us back, he has to give us back everything he stole from us. But now you know how it is? Now we are going to go to the gates of hell to tell him, Mr. Devil, give me what is mine. No sir. Now it is done differently. Now we go to Jesus, because Jesus took the key from him.

The Bible says, in Revelation 1:18 and 19 that the key to hell and hades, knows who has it? Jesus has it. If Jesus has the key, I no longer have to go to the devil to tell him to give me what is mine, now I go to Jesus and tell him, Jesus, since you already gave me power and authority, now lend me the key. key, lend me the key because I'm going to go to hell, I'm going to take what's mine, I'm going to take my marriage, I'm going to take my children, I'm going to take my family, I'm going to take my finances, I'm going to take my house.

I'm not hearing you. I will take what is mine. I will snatch The church now is not going to ask for permission, it snatches. Yours, take it away. Don't make Satan comfortable, snatch away. To his son, do what you want with your life, tell him, look, move quickly because I am going to send you some powerful angels to do with you what they have to do. You can declare with your mouth that the devil has no authority.

So, he says, arise oh God, be scattered your enemies. Why are the enemies scattered? Because when God gets up the devil knows who is coming. Brothers, the devil is devil but not crazy. He knows what's coming, he knows the authority he left. He knows that heaven moves by authority and I'm going to say something to everyone here. the devil is not the enemy of God as some say. God is creator and the devil is creature. How God is going to get [inaudible] with the devil.

God can't do that. God is superior. And yet you have to know the enemies you choose, because everyone who rises up against you cannot be your enemy. There are people that you have to leave as an adversary but you have to tell them, I'm leaving you as an adversary, because as an enemy you don't qualify.

Even for that, pastor, you have to know. I cannot give anyone the privilege to destroy my soul, to destroy it. Everyone can't come to destroy my emotions. There are people who want to hurt me but I'm going to look at it from top to bottom. Do you know why David is a champion? Because he destroyed a giant. If he killed a dwarf, no one said anything.

Give the Lord a round of applause. Don't say, the warrior, say the abuser. Praise him that he lives. Praise him that he lives. We are warriors because we destroy giants, no matter how big the problem is, you are not here to complain or to cry or to be sorry, and I am going to say something to everyone here, if there is a problem in your life, no Don't tell anyone who won't solve it for you, because there are people who tell everyone their problem, I don't tell everyone what's mine if I don't have a solution in that person, I better not tell them. What I need I communicate to Jehovah of Hosts because he is the one who changes, he is the one who transforms things.

The lion roars. Roar lion, is this not the Lion of Judah? Well let it roar because hell does not resist a victorious church, a church that roars. No one resists the lion's roar. No one resists the lion's roar. roars. roars.

What happened, dad? What happened? I have to establish and that has to be learned, in the Dominican Republic I cannot be a pastor if I am not a warrior.

So, brothers, when I master that and can worship God, I open the heavens over my house, over my family, over my personal life, when I worship God the heavens will open up. Do you see that there are people who declare and right there God acts? It is that the sky is open.

But where was Daniel when he prayed? Have you read Daniel 10? It says that Daniel prayed and what happened when Daniel prayed? Have you read that in the Bible? Have you read Daniel 10? Well, look, I'm going to tell you, when Daniel prayed, the Bible says that God heard him immediately, but he couldn't return him because the prince of Persia and the prince of Greece were opposed. Where was Daniel when he prayed? In the first heaven Where was the prince of Persia and Greece? In the second heaven And where was God who heard at once? In the third heaven

There are things of yours that the devil is opposing your receiving. Do not take away from people who say, pray only once and do not pray anymore because if you pray twice it is a lack of faith. No, brothers, pray three, pray four, pray five, pray six, pray seven, and pray until God does the miracle.

Give him a louder round of applause. It is possible that on Sunday I will tell you something about how we made a disco become a church. I am a pastor where the largest nightclub in the Dominican Republic was, Las Vegas. That same. The biggest. That was the place where the devil operated in all of San Vicente de Paul, a large avenue in the eastern zone full of nightclubs, full of places of perdition, and to a church of 300 people or so, God tells him that the church does not it is big when it is inside, the church is big when it goes out into the street.

We went to the street. And you know what we carry? Anointing oil. And Bible. And we began to anoint the street. I don't know if the street is anointed but I anointed them. Excuse me but did I anoint them? And I didn't throw a little oil, I threw a lot because I said, throw a lot of oil because if the devil doesn't come out, it slips. And we went to the street. We went to the street with the family.

You know what Odalise was like. With the family, mom, dad, the children, all to pray in the street, decreeing that corruption, homosexuality, lesbianism, drug addiction were leaving that avenue, and declaring that the devil had no right because the devil only has right if the church does not claim.

You know what? An heir is not an owner until he claims and removes the person who occupies his property. The nations, do you know what Jesus said? Do you know what the Father said to Jesus? Ask of me and I will give you the nations as an inheritance. And do you know what he said to him on the cross of Calvary? The nations are yours. And you know what Jesus said? Mine is yours. Do you know whose Boston it is? Boston belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Of course, since I arrived I began to look at the spirits that move in Boston. Boston is an extraordinary, beautiful city, but it has Harvard, it has Berkley, it has universities, so it's [inaudible] and pride is going to come, conceit is going to come. Everyone who is here tell the Lord, we are going to fight every spirit with the simplicity and humility of the people that you have raised for the glory of God.

Give the Lord a round of applause. are you understanding me? Give it a little more. Give him a little more, the Lord tells you, tonight I know his direction. When we went to the streets and prayed and the glory of God fell on Saint Vincent de Paul, and now I am not going to tell you more, the only thing I am going to tell you is that in that place we asked God to have the most It is a large church in the eastern zone, and today we have a church that brings together almost three thousand people, there on San Vicente Avenue. The devil can gather all those who go to the disco, the devil can gather all those who are going to do evil, to do bad things, and you know what happens? That God now has more people on San Vicente than Satan has, because we now gather the largest number of people that can be gathered on that avenue, people are worshiping God.

If the heavens open, a city changes. If the heavens open, change your house. If the heavens open, change your finances. If the heavens open, change your life. Give the Lord a loud round of applause and stand up.

Give it to her stronger, stronger. Hit it louder, I'm not hearing you. I'm going to your house, God tells you. I'm going to visit your house. I am going to visit the situation you are going through. Raise your hand to heaven. Repeat after me, Lord Jesus, tonight I declare that the heavens are open and that they are in my favor.

Say everything that the devil has interrupted in my life, I declare tonight that God reactivates it. Say everything that was dead is going to come alive, my house, my family, claim your husband and claim your wife, don't let the devil destroy your house. Don't let the devil destroy your house. Don't let it destroy your children, don't let it destroy your business. Don't let it destroy your health. The devil has no right, you can declare at this time and what you declare will happen. God bless you all. Give him a big round of applause.
