The Mystery of Faith

Good afternoon, youth, and ladies too.

And, are the mighty people here? How many here are mighty? We are all mighty men and women of the Son of David: our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, to fight at this time and thus work in the Kingdom of Christ, and obtain the Victory in Love Divine that is promised for this end time.

Notice how even before fighting a battle, God already says that the Victory in Love Divine will be obtained. So, you fight, you go into a battle, how? With the promise that there will be a victory.

In other words, success is guaranteed in this battle of the Last Day, in this fight of the end time, where Christ will obtain the Great Victory in Love Divine, and the dead in Christ will rise, and we who are alive will be changed. Now, notice, with the heart you believe this and every promise that God has made for this Last Day; and with the mouth confession is made, in other words, you confess, you speak that Word, unto salvation, unto health, so that what God has promised is materialized;¹ because what God has promised cannot materialize in a person if that person doesn’t believe it in his soul and say it with his mouth.

Notice, Abraham had the promise to have a son through Sarah; and he spoke it, he believed it and spoke it; and notice, that promise was fulfilled.

Because Saint Paul tells us in his Letter to the Hebrews, in chapter 11:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the proof of things not seen.”

Well, the old version says this; but let’s see what it says in the modern version. It says:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Notice, they were made by what? By the Word of God; and that is what is not seen, but then, notice, the worlds or the universe was created by things that do not appear.

And now, by every person receiving the Word in his soul, in his heart (believing It there, having It there), and confessing with his mouth what that Word says, It has to materialize in the person. If the person doubts It, well, It cannot materialize in him, and he stands as an unbeliever before God.

For example, the man who had the sick child, when Jesus came down from the mountain and His disciples tried to cast out the demon, how were they going to cast it out if the man didn’t believe? And in the end he confesses this to Christ, when he asks Christ for help and tells Him: “Help my unbelief.”²

Now, notice, Christ also said: “Faithless generation!”³ He called the people of that time.

Now, notice, in order to obtain a blessing from God promised in His Word, well, you have to believe it there in your soul, have it in your soul and confess it, because what will be seen is made of what is not seen: of that Word. If it is a Divine Promise, then what the person hopes from that Word, which is a Divine Promise, which is the Word of God, must be done; he must have it there in his soul and confess it with his mouth.

If the person always says: “Well, God says such and such a thing, but I don’t know if it’s going to be fulfilled like that for me,” then it will not be fulfilled; it cannot be fulfilled because the person doesn’t believe it.

And it’s by faith that the saints of the past obtained the great promises, inherited great promises. It says to be followers of those who, through faith, inherited great promises.

Let’s see, we find this in the same 11th chapter, where it tells us… (Let’s see if Miguel finds it first). Let’s read, let’s continue reading this passage, so that… Notice, and they obtained a good report by faith too. It says [Hebrews]:

“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.”

Now, notice, the person must have faith there in his soul, he must have that revelation there in his soul of that promised Word, of that Word of God. It says:

“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead,” (meaning, Abraham), “so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises,” (by faith, what? They obtained promises), “stopped the mouths of lions,” (notice, all of this by faith).

“Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.”

Now, notice here how Saint Paul teaches us that we should be followers of those who, through faith, obtained promises that God had made.

And notice, many of them, because the fulfillment of the promises—of some promises—was not for those times, but by faith they obtained it, they believed it.

And when a person has what God has promised in his soul, in his heart, (he has it there, he believes it there), when that person has the revelation there of what God has promised: that person already has that promise there in his heart; all that’s left is for it to be materialized.

What is easier? Let’s see. What is easier: the materialization of a promise here on Earth, or it being there in the soul, in the heart of the person, being a reality there? The greatest thing, the most important thing, is for it to be there, in the person’s soul.

Notice, because it doesn’t matter how many years or millennia go by, that promise will be materialized; because what is seen is made (of what?) of what is not seen, and if you have what is not seen, if you have that Word there in your soul: what that Word says will become a reality any moment in your life.

Notice, Abraham went looking for a city, he lived in the territory where that city would be, he foresaw it, but he lived in that territory as a stranger and foreigner, and he died without receiving the complete fulfillment of that promise.

But notice, he will be there with us in the glorious Millennial Kingdom, and that promise will be fulfilled there in the portion pertaining to that time. And after the Millennial Kingdom, he will also be there; then, after the Millennial Kingdom, in eternity, he will be there too, where the great city that he saw will be.

Now, notice how Abraham believed hope against hope.⁴ It doesn’t matter that the new Jerusalem was going to come to Earth or was going to be on Earth (let’s say) about… how long would we say? More than three thousand years or so after Abraham. Well, he foresaw it, he received the promise beforehand, he believed it, and he kept it there in his soul, in his heart; therefore, that promise has to be fulfilled.

And he will be in the heavenly Jerusalem, he will be in the new Jerusalem here on Earth, after the Millennial Kingdom as well, and he is a very important person in that city, he is called the father of faith.

And all of God’s elect, notice, are also called children of Abraham, by faith in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Now notice, the Scripture also says that whatever is not of faith, is what? Sin. And without faith it is impossible to please God.⁵

Now, notice how important it is to have the Word revealed there in our soul, and believed there in our soul, and to make confession with our mouths of what is there in our heart.

And we make confession by testifying what we believe and working in what we believe, so that the number of God’s elect who are yet to come to the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom is completed; and thus, the number of God’s elect, of His mystical Body of believers at this Last Day, will be completed.

Notice how God has shown us, He has revealed to us, that just like from age to age there was a territory where each age was fulfilled, and where the elect of each age were, the firstborn of each age, likewise, for the Last Day, for the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, there would also be a territory where that age would be opened and where that new dispensation would be opened, and where the elect of that age would be called and gathered.

And this is one of the mysteries that is under the Seventh Seal, under the Seal that is the Seal of the Coming of the Lord.

And this mystery couldn’t be revealed before; why? Because it is revealed to the people who must understand these things; therefore, it would be revealed at this end time in the territory where God would be carrying out His Work, which is where the revelation of Christ would be manifested at the Last Day, making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass; under the ministry of the Holy Spirit, of Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, testifying to us all these things which must shortly come to pass.

And notice how the greatest blessing in the Divine Program has fallen upon Latin America and the Caribbean. And with our mouth we confess that revelation that is there in our soul, in our heart, which we believe with all our soul, with all our heart. That is a revelation which is there, and which we make known to all human beings.

And now notice how God has made conscious what was hidden in His Mind before the foundation of the world; He has made it conscious to us so that we know the blessing that we have been given in God’s Program, and we walk with that Divine revelation relevant to the Last Day; and thus, we walk in and with faith in our soul in the Divine Program, working, knowing that we are in the territory where the blessing of Christ is, where the seven rays or the seven colors of the rainbow are being manifested.

The manifestation of the seven colors of the rainbow didn’t happen in any other territory.

In the seven ages there was one color of the rainbow being manifested, and not the full circle but a half circle, which is an arch; but for Latin America and the Caribbean, in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, the full rainbow, in a full circle, with its seven colors, would be manifested where? In the territory where the Age of the Cornerstone would be fulfilled and where the Dispensation of the Kingdom would be opened; and that territory is Latin America and the Caribbean.

We have obtained that Divine revelation from Christ at this Last Day, and even the children understand it.

Now, why is it like this: that even children understand things that theologians and doctors of Divinity have not understood? Because the children that belong to the Kingdom of God obtain the Divine revelation from Christ for our Age and our Dispensation; as it was in other ages and in other dispensations of the past, where children also obtained the Divine revelation from God;⁶ and youth and adults and the elderly as well.

Because it is the same revelation for children, youth, adults and the elderly; it can’t be one revelation for children and another for adults, it has to be the same revelation.

Now, children understand it at their level, and in their language, and it is the same for adults and the elderly.

But notice, all of mankind is waiting for countless Divine Promises, but they don’t understand them, they don’t have the Divine revelation of these things that must shortly come to pass; because they need to receive the Divine revelation through Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger for that, in order to obtain that Divine revelation there in the depths of their souls, and to be able to see (which is to understand) all these things which must shortly come to pass.

That is where the person catches in his soul these things which must come to pass as they are being spoken, and the Spirit of Christ takes them directly to people’s souls.

The Message of the Last Day, of the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom, is a Message directly to the soul of God’s elect; it’s so that everything that is spoken then materializes in people, materializes for the mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, becomes a reality.

Because notice, there are times when what God promised is a reality, it is fulfilled; but for many people it is not a reality because they don’t understand it, they don’t comprehend it; therefore, for those people, what God promised is not a reality there in their soul, in other words, it has not become a reality.

But by Divine revelation, that revelation of God of all the things He has promised reaches people’s souls; and all those things are opened, and the things that are already fulfilled are made known, as well as the things that are in the process of being fulfilled, and the things that are still going to be fulfilled later. And that is how each son and daughter of God obtains that revelation, that faith, to be changed and raptured at this Last Day.

So, onward, with the revelation in our souls; and confessing with our mouths what Christ has revealed to us there in the depths of our soul, which we believe with all our heart. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, but with his mouth confession is made unto health, unto salvation, so that everything God has promised is materialized in people, so that it becomes a reality for people.

May God bless you and keep you.

Thank you very much for your kind attention; and I will leave Miguel Bermúdez Marín with you again to continue. See you tonight, God willing.

Well, God bless you, God keep you; and thank you very much for your kind attention.
