Enfócate en Jesús - Armondo Garcia

...music... We are here with Freedom in Jesus. We bring a message that God wants to speak to your heart. And the title of this message is called, Focus our eyes on Christ Jesus. Because we have to put our sight on Christ Jesus. And we are also going to the book of Acts, chapter 3. We are going to read some verses that will teach us when we focus our eyes. Sometimes we focus our sight on material things instead of putting our sight on human things. But God wants us to put our sight on Christ Jesus. But here in the book of Acts, if you have your Bible, in the book of Acts, chapter 3, verse 1. We are going to read verse 1 until verse 10. And we are going to see what God loves us here. Amen. Glory to God. But if you have your Bible, speak in Acts 3, verse 1 to 10. And the word of God says, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. It says, Peter and John went up together to the temple at the ninth hour of prayer. And it says, And they brought a lame man of birth, who they put every day at the door of the temple, who was called the Beautiful, and who asked for alms from those who entered the temple. When he saw Peter and John going into the temple, he begged them to give him alms. Peter and John, looking at them, said to him, Look at us. So he was attentive, waiting to receive something from them.

But Peter said, I have neither silver nor gold, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk. And taking him by the right hand, he lifted up his feet and ankles. And jumping, he stood up and walked. And he entered the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God. And all the people saw him walk and praise God. And they recognized him as the one who asked for alms at the door of the temple, the Beautiful. And they were filled with astonishment and horror at what had happened to him. Here we see, brothers, that speaking of Peter, and seeing that there was a man who was a lame man of birth. This man was born, and for a man it is impossible to look or wait for someone who was born with a physical problem in his body. We see that many times we say to ourselves, it is impossible for God to heal him or for him to be healed. It may be that there is no doctor, it may be that no one, because when one is born with a disease, a man or a person is born with something in their body that is not normal. So we look and we think, no, it is impossible. But with God, everything is impossible, says the word of God. Amen. Only here we see that at the time of prayer, that here it says in the first verse, that from the prayer that was in the temple, Peter and John came to the temple to reach that moment of prayer. Only that Scripture clearly tells us When they arrived, what was going on, that man was sitting there.

But remember, that man who was born lame, who couldn't move, they brought him and put him in the temple every day. Every day that there was prayer, they put him out there in the temple. And I start to think, why didn't they put him inside the temple to pray? Why didn't they pray for them? But here we see something, brothers, that many people want a miracle from God. We want God to do something for us. There is a need, like this man, that there was a need in his life, and he was asking, but putting his trust in man, and not in Christ Jesus, or God, may God bless him greatly. But here we see that they always put him in the temple, there at the door, which was called La Hermosa, just to ask, to ask, and to ask. But we find it here, that when Peter and John arrived, they were going to enter the temple, it says there in verse 3, he begged them to tell him La Lismosa, Limonsna, but with John looking into his eyes, he said, look at us. Here Peter said something, he said to this man, look, I want you to look into my eyes, because I am going to give you something that you are waiting for, but it is not something that I can physically give you, but I can give you something greater. He says, I don't have silver and gold, but what I have, I give it to you. And that is Christ Jesus, Jesus Christ, in the name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth. He says, get up and walk. Hallelujah. And this man, let me tell you that when they said that in the name of Christ Jesus, this man got up,

hallelujah, God healed him, he did a miracle, people were looking at him. How many times was this man sitting there, asking, brother. They were looking at him, they knew him by name, they knew him by his form, they knew who this man was, but the moment God healed him, raised him up, the word of God says that an amazing thing happened to these men, these people, because they had never seen this man getting up, praying, and as it says, walking and jumping and praising God. Hallelujah. When God touches your life, when God moves in your life, you look at a person who was on drugs, who was on alcohol, when you look at a person that God touched, took them out of prison, took them out of depression, from any life that was in sin, God transforms that person. Hallelujah. That's why, brothers, we scream, we jump and praise God. They say, why does that person have joy? Why does that person always have that joy, that happiness? Because we know, brothers, that Christ healed them, Christ took them out of sin, Christ took them out of that molded world, and we know, brothers, that only Christ, hallelujah, when he changes, when you accept Christ, Jesus, hallelujah, there will be a change in your life. Here you can't say, if I accept Christ, there won't be a change. There will be a change. Only God can change. But here we see, brothers, that we have to focus our eyes on Christ Jesus.

But in other scriptures, brothers, it says that when Peter walked, when he walked in that water, in the boat that sank, he was focusing on Christ Jesus when Christ sent him to cross the sea. Christ found himself walking in the water, in the sea there. But we see that while Peter focused his eyes on Christ Jesus, hallelujah, he walked in the water. He didn't sink, but he walked in the water. But we see, brothers, that God, while we focus on our life, and not just with our eyes, brothers, don't think that because we don't look at Christ Jesus, but yes, Christ says, in Matthew 6, verse 33, it says, first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Hallelujah. That is to focus our lives, our eyes, on Christ Jesus, because that Matthew says, first seek the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. And that's what God wants, brothers, that if you find yourself in a position, If you are in a moment where there is a need in your life, just cry out to Christ. As the scripture says, seek the kingdom only in the morning, so that God may supply all that you need. There in Hebrews, chapter 2, if you have your Bible, open Hebrews 12, 2. There it clearly says that we have to focus our eyes on Christ Jesus, because the word clearly says it there, that we have to focus and seek the kingdom of God. But here in Hebrews, chapter 2, if you have your Bible,

the word of God says here, put your eyes on Jesus, the actor and consumer of faith, who, for the pleasure put before him, suffered the cross, lessening the reproach, and sat at the right hand of the throne of God. This is what the word of God clearly says. Put your eyes on whom? On Jesus, the one who died for you, the actor and the consumer. Who is the consumer? Of what? Of his faith. Only God speaks to us, we have to know that only God can lead us, hallelujah, where we cannot reach. We expect miracles, we expect God to move, we expect God to bring a blessing, but we need to focus on Christ Jesus. Hallelujah. Look, in the book of Colossians, in Colossians, chapter 3, verse 1 or 2, hallelujah, the word of God says clearly, it says, if you have risen with Christ,

look for the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Put your eyes, it says, put your eyes on whom? On the things above, and not on the earth. And this is what God wants from us here in Colossians, that we need to look at the things that come from the kingdom of God, so that, the scripture says here, put your eyes on the things above, not on the things on the earth. This is what the people of God have, many times we fail them, and we confuse them, and we feel bad, because when we pray, God, sometimes we don't receive the prayer, we don't receive what God has for us, but the moment you focus on the things of God, God brings the blessing, brother. But, it's something beautiful, brother, in Psalms 123, clearly, here is another scripture that says in Psalms 123, verse 1 and 2,

it says, I lift up my eyes to you, to you who dwell in the heavens. And here, as the eyes of the servants look at the hands of their lords. Amen. But here it clearly says, I lift up my eyes to you, and to you who dwell in the heavens. But from there comes our life, from there comes the answer, from there comes the blessing, when we seek, because God is waiting for us, for us to focus our life on Christ Jesus. And on this day, let me tell you, that if you are in a moment in your life that needs God to move, you want God to do a miracle, God wants him to do a miracle that is impossible for man. God is waiting for you to cry out, for you to start seeking him, for you to start crying out, for you to bow down before him, and you have to repent, and surrender, and for God to move in our hearts.

But, oh God, in Colossians 1 and 2, it says, we have to put our hearts in the things of Christ Jesus, we have to seek these things, and what is important, is to put our minds in the things of God, what is up there, God brings, look, the word of God clearly says, put your mind, focus your mind on the things up there, that are eternal, things of Christ Jesus, that come from heaven, from the kingdom of God, because that is what is going to change you. When you start renewing your mind, let's see what Romans 12 says, It says there that we have to renew our mind, first of all, and when you start to renew your mind, then the sight is no longer looking from here in the world, the sight is already in the things of God, put your sight in the word of God, because here the word of God, brother, here is all the answer, here God answers all the needs of your life spiritually, not carnal, but spiritually, because God is a spiritual God, and God wants us to focus on Him. Look, let me tell you something, you have to have that goal, there is a goal that we have to put first,

as Matthew 12 says, in 6.33, to seek the kingdom of God first, but that is the first thing we have to do, focus on Christ and put our mind in things, that goal, in the things of the world, of heaven, because look, when you focus your mind on the things of God, which is heaven, there is no disturbance, the devil cannot disturb our mind, but when you already put your mind here in this world, there is a lot of disturbance, many voices, there is a lot of disturbance, brother, that you cannot focus on the things of God, why, brother? Because God wants you to focus on Him, so that the blessing comes, so that you reach that goal, and you also have to reach that goal, you have to not tire yourself, because you become weak, you get tired, and that race, when you run a race, and you run fast, you start that race, but fast, then you get tired, and that is the life of a Christian, we have to seize our time, for God, we have to seize that time, as it says in Scripture, to drink the milk, the milk of the word of God, we have to grow, there is a growth, then we will see that God will start to transform our lives, why, brother? Because we are taking those steps that He takes with Christ Jesus, but those steps, brother, you have to do those steps, but focus on the main thing, the word of God, what He wants, and that is why Peter and Paul told John, they told this man, they told this man, they said, look, what I want you to do is to focus on Christ Jesus,

do not depend on man, do not depend on the things of the world, you have to put your mind on the things of God, that God can fulfill all that is needed, spiritual, material, He gives you everything, but just like Solomon, when God told Solomon, what do you want from me? He said, what I expect is wisdom, how to direct these people, how to lead them, how to lead them in your way, and that it be yours, not mine, but God said, you know what, because you asked for wisdom, God blessed you with silver, gold, he was the rich man, why? Because God, because he did not focus on the material first, he focused on the spiritual, and God gave him the material too, a double blessing, right? Only God expects that you too, you who are a double blessing, look for the kingdom of God first, and that God does His work, only that we also have, this is the last point, brother, that we have to put our trust in Christ Jesus, focus on God leading us, so that we do not have fear, because many times, without Christ, we have this fear, if we are going to fall, or what is going to happen at that moment, only that, just like Peter, right? He began to sink when he took his eyes off Christ Jesus, only that this afternoon, I want to tell you, brother, that when Christ died on that cross,

Christ gave his life, and we have to recognize, brother, that Christ, when he died on that cross, he said, here I am, he said, I can beg you, he forgave you, he died, he gave his life, brother, so that you have life, only that at this moment, we have to focus on what Christ did on the cross of Calvary, and this day, Christ said, today is the day of salvation. If you are focusing on the person, if your focus is on your family, that God brings, that he gives you food, money, a letter, whatever, brother, if you focus on us, brothers, brother, you take away the sight of those people, brother, put your sight on Christ, the one who is always with you, says the word of God, He will never leave you. He will always walk with you as long as you focus, you fulfill that goal, then you will also walk, just like this lamb. You will jump, you will praise God with all your heart. Why? Because you will recognize where God took you from. You will recognize that you are a liberated man. God frees you from there. He takes you out of sin,

He gives you a miracle, but you have to praise Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. And thank God because God made a miracle and God wants to take you out so that other people see the miracle, the glory in you. But you have to walk in God's things so that you are free. Amen? But this afternoon, at this moment, before we finish here, I want to ask you a question. How is your focus? Or where is your focus? I only ask you that if your focus is in material things, you have to change. I only ask that God loves you, God loves you this afternoon, and I only ask you that if you have never accepted Christ Jesus as your Savior, I want you to focus on the cross, what God did for you. And from there, the focus begins.

First, focus on what God did in your life, and let God change your life. On this day, if you have not accepted Christ, I ask that you say to Him, Christ, enter into my heart. Lord, my focus is in the world, my focus is somewhere else, but I want to focus on what you say on the cross. Give your life for me, but I want to start there, Lord. And teach me, through the Holy Spirit, teach me how to seek your word to focus on your word, to focus and be guided by the Holy Spirit. Father, I ask that you help me, Lord. Father, in the name of Christ Jesus, in this moment, Lord, I accept you. I want to receive that. I want to walk in that blessing. But teach me, Lord, how to focus on you. Because I don't understand it. I need your help. But I want, in this moment, I want to pray for you. I want to take this moment to pray for you.

If you do me a favor, let's bow our faces in front of the Lord, and I listen to this prayer for you. Whoever is listening to me, this prayer is for you. Heavenly Father, Father, I ask you, Lord, for those who are watching, Lord, who are listening, Lord, in this video, Father, that you touch them, Lord. Father, that you touch their hearts, their minds, Father, that you focus them, Lord. Father, that they begin to focus on you, Lord. So that they know where it is impossible. So that they focus, Father, on your word. And so that they begin to look, Lord, that the dependence of their lives, Lord, is in Christ Jesus. And Father, that you touch them, Lord. Father, that you help them, Lord. Father, that they don't fear, Father. So that they get up, Lord. So that they walk, Lord, with a clean heart. So that they begin to praise you, Lord. Father, with a joy of joy, Lord. Because you, Father, are going to

change their sight, Lord. And their eyes, Father, will see what is above, not what is below this earth, Lord. But I ask you, Lord, that you change them, Lord. So that you move over them, Lord. Bless them, Father, that you give them that double blessing in their lives, Lord. Father, it's a miracle. Father, I give you thanks, Lord. Father, for that person, Lord, that is listening to me. Father, that you bless them, Lord. Not only them, but their families as well. Father, and those who are listening, Lord. Father, that you bless them greatly. And Father, that you move, Lord. That the Holy Spirit begins to reveal, Lord. So that the Spirit teaches them how to walk. And Father, just like your word says, walk in the sight and put their trust in you. And Father, I give you thanks, Lord. Father, for this service, Lord. This preaching, Father. And Father, I ask you, Lord, that you touch them. Father, from their heads to their feet. And Father, that you touch their hearts. And their spirits, and their souls. And thanks, Lord, for those

who have accepted Christ. And Father, that you receive them, Father, greatly, Lord. And teach them. Transform our hearts, Lord. And Father, bless them. In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen and Amen. Thank you, brothers and sisters. Thank you for listening. In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.
