00:00Christ is our treasure.
00:06I hope it will always be like this.
00:11Because it is very important that we speak to the Lord with our hearts.
00:15The intention of our hearts is to say, we come here seeking the presence of God.
00:21We want to meet him.
00:24We want to be with Him.
00:28We want to enjoy God.
00:31We want to be more like Him.
00:33How many of us want to be in God's presence?
00:38But brother, there is something very important, there is a condition to be in the presence of God.
00:44I'm going to read to you from Matthew 5:8.
00:49Matthew 5:8 tells us,
00:51Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
00:58The scripture here refers to the blessed who sincerely seek, who are sincere, whose hearts are free from hypocrisy, who desire
01:07And seek God in truth, and those who do will see God.
01:12You will be on the side of an intimate and real relationship with God.
01:18Blessed are the pure in heart, those who do not seek God and have hidden things in their hearts, evil intentions,
01:26They either want to manipulate God, or they are driven by the flesh to seek other things.
01:34If you speak of a clean heart, and that clean heart will see God, that clean heart will be in His presence.
01:40of God.
01:41So that's very important, brother, that we examine our hearts.
01:45What's in our hearts?
01:46The heart, according to the Bible, is not a physical organ, it is the spiritual center of the human being.
01:54where the thoughts, the will, the desires of our being reside.
02:00So, what we think, what we desire, and where our will lies—whether it is under God's will—is
02:08very important.
02:09That's where sincerity and purity of heart come in.
02:13When we come here, we come to praise God, we come to know God, we come to please God, we come to
02:21to truly enjoy God,
02:22But we didn't come just to have a good time, that's not the purpose; the primary purpose is to get to know him better.
02:32Him, and to seem more like Him.
02:33Because if we seek pleasure, I want to feel good, I want to feel good, no, brother, it's seeking the God of my heart
02:42clean, with sincerity.
02:44I'll give you another verse, and we make the offering, in Samuel 51, verse 6, it tells us,
02:55Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts, and in the secret place you have made me to understand wisdom.
03:03He realizes that they tell us, Behold, you love the truth in your innermost being.
03:08The Lord wants us to be sincere with Him, and He wants us to truly love Him, and that everything we
03:15Let us do, let us do of our hearts for Him.
03:17Brother, every time, every time you deny yourself sin, examine your heart and say in your heart, and without
03:25that no one sees you, just you, alone, and you say,
03:28I don't do it because it doesn't please the Lord, and it's not God's will, which is good.
03:33pleasant and perfect,
03:34You have a clean and sincere heart before God.
03:38Then you can have a relationship with God, and you will see God.
03:43Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
03:47And Scripture also says that those who seek him, who seek me with all their heart,
03:53He says, "He will find me."
03:54But how can we seek God with all our heart if we are not sincere?
03:58It's not possible.
04:00If the intention of my heart is hidden and seeks other things, how can I find God when I come here?
04:07If there are other intentions in my heart.
04:10It is not possible, that is why the Lord says, if you truly seek me, if you truly want to know me,
04:16Then you will find me and have an intimate and personal relationship with me, and you will see God.
04:23Blessed, then, blessed, what is it? Happy, fortunate, is the one who is pure in heart, because he will have an intimate relationship with God.
04:33Having an intimate relationship with God, brother, is the greatest thing a human being can have.
04:40And the greatest thing we can have is a real, genuine relationship with God.
04:47And from there, seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all give themselves to God.
04:52Having a sincere relationship with God is everything.
04:56Then everything will come, and as it is according to God's will.
04:59So let that be in our hearts, let us consciously examine our hearts,
05:05What is the intention of my heart?
05:07Because the scripture teaches me that the heart is deceitful and can deceive me.
05:13In other words, my desires, my will, my intentions, cannot be contrary to the word of God.
05:20I need to examine myself so that I can be honest with God, so that we can be honest with God.
05:25So I encourage you to do that, to be pure of heart, to seek God with all your heart,
05:31And then we have a real relationship with our God, who creates us.
05:36Lord, we thank you for this afternoon, Lord.
05:38And we are in your presence, Lord.
05:41And our hearts are open, and you see all that is inside, Lord.
05:46Cleanse them, Lord, if there are bad intentions, Lord.
05:51Teach us, Lord, if there are things that do not please you, Lord.
05:56And help us, Lord, to truly please you, Lord.
05:59And to truly love you, because you deserve it, Lord.
06:02Thank you for this afternoon, Lord.
06:05We give thanks for the praise, Lord.
06:08Bless the praise, Lord.
06:09The mouth that calls out to you, Lord.
06:11Bless your word and the mouth that will preach your word, Lord.
06:16And every heart that is here, Lord.
06:19Bless him, Lord, in the name of your Son.
06:22Amen.
