PART 2- Tres Días y Tres Noches en el Corazón de la Tierra- The Story of Redemption!

 
Part 2! 
Preaching, Teaching, and more is here on what the physical resurrection of Jesus from the dead means according to the Scripture. What better way to celebrate Easter than this, getting in you the truths about the sacrifice of Jesus for you and me?
The recorded message is in Spanish in two parts. This is Part Two. I pray that it will be a shocking and eye-opening message for all my Spanish listeners. It is a message of deliverance, salvation, and God's power to do the impossible. Be blessed!
Este es el segundo mensaje ungido sobre lo que pasó durante los tres días y noches entre cuando Jesucristo murió en la cruz y cuando fue resucitado de los muertos. Algunos de los puntos mas importantes son acerca de la resurrección doble de Jesús (la espiritual y la física de la tumba), la palabra profética de tres días o el tercer día, el día en que el Padre inauguró a Su Hijo y le llamó Dios, el significado del Nombre de Jesús, el sentido de “Consumado es,” cuando fue que Jesús venció a Satanás e hizo espectáculo público de el, y mucho mas. No te pierdas estos poderosos mensajes que transformarán tu vida.

The Healing of the Woman Bent Over For 18 Years

Dear Brethren, Family, and Friends,
Here is a recording of a Bible  lesson that I taught my own children (11-year-old triplets) recently. 
The upbringing of the boys is according to the Scripture. We are supposed to "bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4 NIV) It is a full-time job, to say the least, because I also homeschool them under an umbrella private Christian school.  
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6 NKJV)
I know some things about training. I trained in martial arts from the age of 11. I was a black belt in three different arts, was owner-operator and instructor of my own martial arts school. I continue to practice today, though to a lesser degree. Here is the thing about martial arts. It is impossible to get good at martial arts if you practice only once a month. Practice should be daily or at least 5 days a week. That means you will need classes with a good instructor and some practice should be done on your own. 
Training, training, and more training and instruction in the things of God are no different, except that they have an eternal value compared to a temporary one that comes from physical training. That does not do away with the importance of physical training, but physical training, as the Greek text states, lasts for a little while. 
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. (1 Timothy 4:8 NIV)
I teach, instruct, and live the Christian life before my boys. Godliness is in our home. They don't just hear about walking with the Lord, but they see it daily. I am not perfect, and sometimes I make mistakes, but I have no problem with apologizing and asking for forgiveness when I goof up.
The boys are mostly quick to forgive. There have been some real big challenges with forgiveness for other people because they were hurt and betrayed by them. They learn every day that forgiveness is a whole lot better than holding a grudge or desiring revenge. Forgiveness sets one up to be forgiven, and to get your prayers answered.  
Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” (Mark 11:24, 25 NIV)
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. (Romans 12:17-19 NIV)
There is no excuse for not teaching the Word and living it before your children. It is a parental responsibility, and it is one that affects children throughout their lives on earth. As I have mentioned before, I was negligent in that responsibility because of disobedience with other children (now adults). Thank God for God's forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness. Up until the youngest of them was around 9 years old, they all got some spiritual training, and after I repented in 1999, and started coming back into my calling, I preached to all of them the salvation message. Now it's on them to decide to follow Jesus or not. 
The 11-year-old triplets are another story, and the start of restoration where raising children are concerned. They have been around the Word and the things of the Holy Spirit since they were born. Satan did his best to steal, kill, and destroy their upbringing. He shot his best shots and failed! Thank the Lord for His goodness and mercy that endure forever! 
The other extremely important side of training children is having your children attend an anointed church consistently. Take them to a dead church with little power in God, and they will never grow in the things of God. The deadness there will cause them to be dead to the real things of God. As they get older, they will see the traditional hogwash and powerlessness, and they will rebel against it. That is almost guaranteed.
The church we attend is a mightily anointed church where the Word is taught and preached, and the Lord shows up in manifestation at every service (1 Corinthians 2:4). People receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, people are delivered, healed, blessed, and much more. There are good friends and family in the Lord that we interact with at church. There are mature examples of what a godly home, business, and life should look like, and every time we attend, we are saturated in His presence.
From my living room-classroom to your doorstep! Special delivery and it is good! Listen to the recording. Sometimes you will hear the boys in the background. This is how I teach them on a consistent basis. I don't sugar coat anything and they hear the Word as it is written. I also don't preach to them on a lower level. Nothing is watered down to their level. It is a mistake to try to water down the Word to a level of what one thinks is suitable for a child. No milky toast stuff here, but the pure and unadulterated Word of God! That is what children need.
Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother. Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. (Proverbs 4:1-6 NIV)
My dear family, friends, and other brethren in the Lord, enjoy and be blessed by this 27-minute message on the woman that was bent over for 18 years. The passage is from Luke 13. Yes, look up the Scriptures taught that morning. The boys looked up every verse I mentioned. That is the thing to do. Check out what is being said. Is it in line with Scripture? Is it in context? Is the truth according to the Scripture?
Judge things according to the Word. Never judge things according to a vision, a revelation, or even some supposed supernatural event. Here is the question to always ask: "Does the experience, vision, or revelation line up with the Spirit and letter of the Scripture?" If it does, then it is good and it is of God. If it doesn't, then it MUST be discarded because it is Satan's deception even if it appears as an angel of light. 
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14 NIV)
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! (Galatians 1:8-9 NIV)
Even if it is a word from a supposed angelic being, if it violates the Spirit and letter of Scripture, discard it because it is under a curse! It was a demon masquerading as an angel of light!
How many errors and crazy ideas could be and would be avoided if people knew what the Word said about it? MANY! I have heard some real whoppers of idiocy and utter foolishness out of folks that could have easily been avoided if they judged their supposed revelation, vision, or knowledge by the Word. The Word of God is our rule. It will distinguish between a spirit of truth or a spirit of error. Jesus said that God's Word is truth and that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. (John 17:17, 16:13, 15:26) 
Jesus stated in John 17:17 that the truth or God's Word would sanctify us. That means that God's Word will separate us from the devil's errors and lies, and his evil works . The Word will keep us hooked into holiness, especially if it becomes our rule for living. 
If it is not in line with the Spirit of God and the Word, then get rid of it immediately! There are NO exceptions to this Bible rule. Remember that always.  
One of the major problems in Christendom is the sheer ignorance of Scripture among so many. How are believers going to distinguish between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error if their knowledge of the Bible is meager? They can't, and they are easy to deceive. That is why each believer needs to be taught the Word at their church and learn to study it on their own. Actually, each member should look up the Scriptures taught at their church and check out each message with the Bible. 
Verify if it is the truth! Scripture is interpreted with more Scripture on the same subject. If it is a Bible truth, then you will find the bare minimum of 2 or 3 other Scriptures that prove it clearly.
By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established. (2 Corinthians 13:1 NKJV)
You have to really pay strict attention to these truths to stay out of error and flaky doctrines. Satan can sometimes attempt to use a Scripture reference he twists to deceive people. He tried that with Jesus at the mount of temptation. The devil quoted a fragment of Scripture about angelic protection. He used it to tempt Jesus to jump off the pinnacle of the Temple to prove He was the Son of God. Jesus countered by quoting a Scripture verse from Deuteronomy that forbids us from tempting the Lord God. (Luke 4:1-13)
Again, that is why Scripture must be interpretwd with other Scripture.
Daily reading is a huge part of learning the Scripture. If I don't read my Bible on a particular morning, I play a Bible app for a few hours. Sometimes it goes through the New Testament in a day. Other times, I will let it play in the Old Testament. Sometimes I only get an hour of reading or listening to the Word, but that goes a long way. That is the ONLY way to have a clue as to what you are dealing with, and what to do about it. 
Blessings on all of you,

Crazy Downloads

In November of 2022, one message saw 11.4k (11.4 thousand) downloads over a three day period. I attached it to this post. I later revised this podcast, but here it is raw and unpolished. Not my best example of good podcasting, so I know it wasn't my great oratory skill that did this! Haha! If those downloads were centered on one location, then I wouldn't even bring it up because that would be suspect.
The statistics copied and pasted below are from the stats page on my Podbean dashboard that shows that these downloads were from at least 100 countries on 6 continents within a few days. I don't have a clue how that happened. It wasn't anything I did.
I contacted Podbean because I first thought maybe it was a glitch or something like that. They investigated and said they are legitimate downloads, but that they don't know how it happened. They mentioned that it was mostly through the Samsung app.. I've never had that happen before, and so far, it has not happened again. The important thing is that people are taught the Word, receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior, are healed, delivered, and receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and tongues or the numbers mean little. That is my take on it, but it sure was fun to watch it happen. 
Some may have thought I was evangelistically exaggerating the numbers (lying), but the stats don't lie. You would think everybody would rejoice over it, but maybe some didn't. I'm happy and thankful for it. Here's the original page that it happened on: 
https://danalanrodriguez.podbean.com/e/faith-in-jesus-or-is-it-faith-in-something-else/
No lying, no exaggeration, and no foolishness. 
I did make a dumb mistake on reading the initial stats. I was reading the daily listeners stat graph that was a place holder and not the one from my own podcasts. Ay! I needed to upgrade my account to see my mistake. It was a big one. I verified my findings but was looking in the wrong place until I upgraded! The daily listener numbers were the same as downloads. If I remember correctly, at one time, Podbean did this differently, but it really doesn't matter. It was an honest mistake and I apologize. BUT,,, The 11.4 thousand downloads are absolutely legit. There was no mistake there.

Only the countries in white did not download from November 1 2022 till January 31 2023. Note the worldwide distribution. Interesting to me is that China didn't have a part because usually I get downloads every month from China. The rest of the countries that are colored were where the podcasts were downloaded during a three month period, but most happened during the crazy downloads that happened November 21-23 2022. 
Love you all in Christ Jesus!

Como Recibir el Bautismo en El Espíritu Santo y Las Lenguas

 
For all our Latin friends, family, and brethren on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Supernatural Tongues:
¿Has recibido el Bautismo en el Espíritu Santo con la manifestación de hablar en otras lenguas desde que creíste en Cristo? Si lo has recibido, estás listo para ministrárselo a otros? Todo creyente puede ministrarle el Bautismo del Espíritu Santo a otros creyentes, pero hay un fundamento Bíblico que necesitas para hacerlo efectivamente. ¿Sabes como contestar escrituralmente las preguntas que te puedan hacer al respecto? Aquí tienes la oportunidad de oír la Palabra ministrada sobre el tema y entonces oír la ministración del Bautismo del Espíritu Santo a persona tras persona en un servicio público.
Es importante saber que no es necesario ser ministro ni es necesario estar en un servicio para ministrarle a otros. Yo he visto a personas recibir esta gloriosa llenura o bautismo del Espíritu Santo CON la manifestación de hablar en otras lenguas, en la calle, en negocios de muchas clases, y en hogares, además de verlo tomar lugar numerosas veces en servicios en las iglesias donde he tenido el privilegio de ministrar.
Muchas iglesias que se llaman “llenas del Espíritu Santo” han minimizado este acto sagrado “para no ofender a nadie,” y otras nunca ministran en público esta recepción del Espíritu Santo y las lenguas. Otras iglesias lo esconden en un cuartito alejado de la congregación. Esto de recibir el Espíritu Santo y la manifestación de hablar en otras lenguas es un acto glorioso y sagrado que, cuando posible, se debe hacer en público a la vista de todos.
El Señor Jesús dijo:
"Pues si ustedes, siendo malos, saben dar buenos regalos a sus hijos, ¿cuánto más su Padre celestial dará el Espíritu Santo a los que le pidan?" (Lucas 13:11 RVA 2015)
¿Has recibido el Bautismo en el Espíritu Santo con la manifestación de hablar en otras lenguas desde que creíste en Cristo? (Hechos 19:5, 6)  El día de Pentecostés fue solo el comienzo, y esto lo comprobamos en esta grabación en vivo del mismo libro de los Hechos. (Hechos 2:1-4)

Aquí tienes la oportunidad de oír la Palabra ministrada sobre el tema y entonces oír la ministración del Bautismo del Espíritu Santo a persona tras persona en un servicio público.

Otras iglesias lo esconden en un cuartito alejado de la congregación. Recibir el Espíritu Santo y la manifestación de hablar en otras lenguas es un acto glorioso y sagrado que, cuando posible, se debe hacer en público a la vista de todos. 
Por supuesto, están los tradicionalistas reventados y sumamente enredados que rechazan esta experiencia gloriosa y/o tienen sus versos sacados de contexto donde intentan refutar la manifestación del Espíritu Santo y las lenguas. Otros enseñan que esto de las lenguas no es para todos. Dicen en sus graves errores que es solo para aquellos que es la voluntad de Dios. Los que creen esta idea anti-escritural siempre son aquellos que nunca es la voluntad de Dios recibirlo. Esas ideas tradicionales son súper fácil refutar escrituralmente.  
No te dejes llevar por doctrinas anti-Bíblicas que niegan esta realidad gloriosa que es para TODO creyente. Si vas a una iglesia donde niegan esta realidad Bíblica, oye este mensaje y convéncete a ti mismo de lo que dice la Escritura, y entonces prepárate a recibir a través de esta grabación.
Aquí tienes una garantía:
Si rechazas y desestimas tus ideas tradicionales, si eres obediente a la Palabra de Dios y cambias tu forma de pensar y creer, y cedes al Espíritu Santo, sin duda alguna, vas a recibir esta bendición de parte de la Cabeza de la Iglesia, el Señor Jesucristo. 
¡Garantizado!
Juan el Bautista dijo acerca de Jesucristo, “El es el que bautizará con el Espíritu Santo y fuego.” (Mateo 3:11) ¡El nunca ha cambiado! El es el mismo ayer, hoy, y por los siglos! (Hebreos 13:8)

Child Healing and Weight Loss Testimony

Dear Brethren, Family, and Friends,
I am shocked at how easy weight loss was been once I found the right combination of healthy keto together with intermittent fasting. I was weighing 275 pounds just 6 months ago. Today, February 9, 2023, I am at a healthy 210 pounds.  
For a couple of years, I prayed every once in a while about what I needed to do to lose the weight without losing muscle mass. God began to tell me what I needed to get rid of. I obeyed. Weight loss was important to me because I like to work out, and I have 11-year-old triplets. I am 67 years old and must keep my strength and health, spiritually, mentally, and physically to a level where I can teach, instruct, and even play with my young boys. So, I did this healthy keto with intermittent fasting with God’s help and direction, and it worked beautifully for me. I did it more for the children than for me. Of course, it will help with my clothing, youthfulness, and so on, since I am down to a loose size 36, down from a tight-butt 44 at the waist and so on. No more double XX shirts and extra humongous underwear! No more! Ha-ha! Maybe that was TMI!
Praise the Lord, O my soul. Do not forget all his kind deeds. He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion, who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. (Psalms 103:3-5 NKJV)
I failed in my fatherly duties in the past with other children (now in their 30’s and 40’s). I failed at raising them right. I started out right but allowed my own ugly disobedience to influence everything in my life. I repented in 1999. God promised me restoration, but I didn’t know how it was going to happen. In the area of raising children, my restoration began with the triplets.
When these triplet boys were born, I vowed to the Lord to do my part to have them grow up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, whatever that would mean for them. (Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4) I have been faithful at keeping my vow.
One of the things I was required by the Lord to do was to home-school these boys. It is a lot of teaching and instruction, but so very important to keep them out of the bad influence that runs wild in many schools. Hopefully, that will change, but it is the best thing for them as they grow up.
The next part of the vow was to diligently instruct them in the Word, take them to a powerful church with anointed leaders and long-standing marriages that would be an example to them. At our church, there are very strong work, business, marriage, and ministry ethics expressed in many ways. I’ve never seen a church like it anywhere, and I have been around. It is truly amazing. That is what is being put in them weekly. Thank you, Lord!
So, whenever someone invites me to preach, I will be coming with my sons. Be ready for it. I will not ever leave them behind. They need to witness the anointing at work mightily in services where I go to minister. Also, it will stir them up to serve the Lord without compromise, and to step into ministry, business, or whatever areas the Lord wants them in. Soon enough, they will be teaching and preaching. They already bring people to salvation, healing and so on. It is amazing to watch their progress in the Lord!
Here is a mighty testimony.
The other day one of my boys threw up his lunch and dinner and then threw up about 3 more times. I was really watching his electrolyte level closely. I watched for the signs of dehydration. You can’t let it go there. My son was quite pale by the time he went to bed. I gave him some electrolyte drink, but that was not what got him healed. He was feeling bad. Of course, we prayed together and applied the Word in the Name of Jesus. The other two boys agreed. They went to bed.
But he lifted up our illnesses, he carried our pain; even though we thought he was being punished, attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done. He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well; because of his wounds we have been healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5 NET)
That is an exact translation of the Hebrew text. These verses were speaking of physical illness and pain, and what Jesus bore for us in His great sacrifice. We don’t have to depend on a literal translation though to understand that Isaiah was speaking of physical healing and not spiritual healing. I write this because many that deny that healing was provided in the sacrifice of Jesus want to refer it all to “spiritual healing.” The Holy Spirit gave us the right interpretation of Isaiah 53:4 in the New Testament.
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases (Isaiah 53:4).” (Matthew 8:16, 17 NIV)
That is Holy Spirit, anointed, interpretation!
Two of the boys were already in bed sleeping, and I had gone to my room, when I see the boy who had already thrown up 5 times come into my room. He said, “Daddy, I need to get the Word on healing in me a right now and pray fervently. I should not go to sleep now.” I did not expect him to do that. We wound up outside next to the room, and I let him do the praying and finding the Scriptures. I was in for a real surprise. That boy quoted and found many Scriptures and prayed like I have heard few people pray. His fervency, authority, anointing, and perseverance made me cry.
You really don’t know how much of what you put in your children will come out, UNTIL they need it. It was such a blessing to me to hear that all my many hours of teaching them the Word (besides regular school classes), and diligently taking them to church a few times a week had produced powerfully in him. Wow! I helped him find some Scriptures because he could quote them verbatim but wanted to read the reference. Mentally quoting was not enough! He wanted to put his eyes on the Word. This is the Scripture he quoted to me.
My child, pay attention to my words; listen attentively to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight, guard them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and healing to one’s entire body. (Proverbs 4:20-22 NET)
My boy kept doing that, finding Scripture, praying, and speaking the Word with authority. We wound up singing Scriptures before the Lord. Suddenly, he turned to me about an hour or so into this, and he said, “I am done. Whatever that sickness was, it left my body. I felt it leave. I feel so good right now. I’m going to bed.” Not only that, but as I looked at him under the light, his color was completely normal! The next day he woke up refreshed as though nothing happened. Now that is a testimony of a healing, and to God be ALL the glory!
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)
Now i pray that you be healed in the Name of Jesus! He redeemed us from the curse of sickness, so now I speak the Word of healing and deliverance to you! Be healed now in Jesus' Name! (Psalms 107:20, Galatians 3:13)
Be blessed in the Name of Jesus!

A Call To Return

 
Get A Call to Return: Restoring The Roots of Our Relationship With Jesus as an ebook, softcover, or hardcover book from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Christianbook, Westbow Press, or order it through your favorite bookstore.
From the Back Cover:
A Call to Return—Restoring the Roots of Our Relationship with Jesus explores the depths of the Scriptures to excavate, refine, and lift up its words of power, revealing deep truths that will radically change the lives of believers. By tapping into this rich vein of biblical insight, Dan Alan Rodriguez offers Christians the insights to enable them to set out upon paths of discipleship that follow Jesus closely and that lead to profound experiences of His presence and power.
Drawing upon the author’s study of first-century Judaism and Christianity and resting upon a diverse array of sources steeped in the foundational texts of these traditions, the twelve chapters of A Call to Return address a series of interlocking topics: a prophetic call to return; the revival of lawlessness; the revival, purpose, and preexistence of God’s commandments; the church’s commandments and their connections to faith, grace, and good works; the association of works of the law to Jewish tradition and ceremony; holiness; the fear of the Lord; each believer as a temple of the holy; and the meaning of loving the Lord Jesus.
If you have a sense that Jesus’s message and ministry are calling you to embark upon a walk with Him that might take you away from all in Christianity that requires no accountability or responsibility before God, then A Call to Return—Restoring the Roots of Our Relationship with Jesus is the right book for you to read. It will give you the keys for understanding and responding to the Lord’s call to return to Him and to follow where He leads.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev. 2:29 NASB).

Faith that Receives the Grace of God is so important for you and me right now! There is an abundance of strange teaching in the area of grace. Grace has become for many a proposition "sin all you want without accountability", and a "do-nothing to receive from God." Grace for many is a rejection of Biblical moral commandments, and for others it is a denial of the words of Jesus. Grace, when it is in its right place Scripturally, is beautiful, abundant, and powerful, but it can be misused and misapplied. Unfortunately, grace is often taught wrongly. Instead of amazing grace, it has become gross, devilish, pseudo “grease” and not the Blood-bought-grace taught in the New Testament! This book was written so the Biblical perspective on faith and grace could be clearly presented by using verses in their context and according to the intent of the writers of the New Testament. If you have questions in this area, this free 266-page book is for you. Newest edition is here: Download the free PDF file here.

Part 10: Faith in Jesus, or is it Faith in Something else?

 
This is the final teaching in this series, and it is heavy duty! Download it at the bottom of the page. As in every teaching in this series, it confronts some traditional ideas head-on and kills some sacred cows. Welcome to the slaughter of traditional religious beliefs! 
In this study, we look at eternal judgment, judging yourself, standing before the judgment seat of Christ, and the wrath of God. How about some Christians getting their name blotted out from the book of life? These truths are a part of the gospel message in Christ that most churches ignore or water down. Paul and the apostles did no such thing! They taught these subjects within their presentation of faith in Christ Jesus.
We trust this series has made you search the Scriptures for yourself, and has set you free from false religious thinking. Be mightily blessed with the unfolding of God's Word that gives light! (Psalms 119:130 NASB)
