Maybe Jesusis the Sonof God?

00:01Episode 191: maybe Jesus is the Son of God?

Hello, my friend. Welcome to our episode number 191, July 8, 2026. The topic of today: maybe Jesus is the Son of God? Really? Okay. The reading, you can find it in the Gospel of Matthew, Mark and Luke, as you can see here on the screen. All of these sections. We are going to read today just two verses to begin with this study.

00:26The reading: Matthew 12:22-23

And we read from the Easy-to-Read Version, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Please, Lord, guide us through this study. And we read. Thank you, Jeho, for the scripture on the screen. Matthew 12:22-23: "Some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon inside him. Jesus healed the man, and he could talk and see. All the people were amazed at what Jesus did. They said, 'Maybe Jesus is the promised Son of God!'"

01:01"Maybe, huh?"

Maybe, huh?

01:03Last week (GP190), and today: everyone has problems

Last week, we talked about the greatest request. If you haven't watched that message, it's a 10-minute video. I encourage you to do it, GP190. Today you will learn about how some people are so stubborn, even when God helps them. So everyone has problems. Do you agree with me? You have problems and everybody else, there is no one person on the face of the earth that doesn't have problems. Everybody has, and everyone is going to have problems forever. It is part of life. People that think that there is a place in life where there are not difficulties, they are just dreaming. It's just insane to have that idea in mind.

01:52Some problems are more serious than others

But you know, there are some problems that are more serious than others. What type of problems do you have now? Have you thought about it? Type of problems. Are your problems serious or not?

02:05Are you blind? Even the speed of your internet

Now, here we just read about a guy who was blind. He couldn't speak. Are you blind? I don't think so. There are some people that are blind that might listen to me, but I don't think that necessarily you are blind. Or you are not able to speak. That is the case of this guy. However, for you, your problems are serious, even if it is the speed of your internet. I get it.

02:35A godly perspective: read the Bible

But we need to have a godly perspective about everything around us. You know, a godly perspective. How can you get a godly perspective, my friend? Well, when you read the Bible, you read the Bible and then that will help you to have a godly perspective about everything about your life, about the situations you are going through, about the situations other people go through.

03:01Choose the right preacher

You need to learn to choose the right preacher you are listening to. There are tons of great teachers, Bible teachers, many of them, and you need to find them. But the problem is sometimes people are just interested in encouragement. You know, it's like a Christian adrenaline. Well, I love to hear this guy because he makes me feel good. He makes you feel good.

03:29Christian adrenaline? Watch a comedian

What if you go and watch a comedian in that case? You see how silly that is? But that is the case of many believers that are not mature, not serious about learning the word of God. They just want to be entertained and encouraged.

03:47You need the knowledge of the Scripture

My friend, you don't need Christian adrenaline coming from a super ultra preacher on TV or in a big stage. You don't need that. You need the knowledge of the scripture. The scripture itself, which is God's word, will give you the encouragement and the wisdom you need and you can get it yourself.

04:08"Why do I have to listen to you?"

Now, you can ask me, "Well, Pastor Gian, if that is true, why do I have to listen to you?" You don't have to listen to me. I'm just telling you, I am one of those qualified Bible teachers. I am one of thousands all over the world. Maybe there is one in your town and you don't even know why because you are just looking for the biggest stage.

04:32God is more powerful than evil

Now, our Lord Jesus healed this blind man. That was awesome. Do you agree? This guy was demon possessed because God is more powerful than evil. And that is awesome. That is the kind of God that we serve. That is the Lord that we worship, Almighty.

04:53Do you celebrate the victories of God?

Let me ask you this question. Do you celebrate the victories of God in your life? That is the problem. Most people are so blind that they can't even say, "Thank you, Lord, for all the great things the Lord does in their lives every day."

05:10Let's talk about prayer

They just can't celebrate. In fact, let's talk about prayer. When you are praying in your prayer time, if you have prayer time, let's suppose you do that. In those conversations, I want you to calculate quickly the percentage of words.

05:29Do you speak your prayers?

Do you speak your words? Hello? When you are praying, you are just mentally talking with God. He can get my thoughts, you say. Is that possible? Of course it is. God hears your thoughts. He sees your thoughts. Because He can go inside of you. It's not what we are discussing. What we are discussing is, do you speak your prayers? Do you talk to the good Lord? I don't have to, people say. You are mistaking. You are mistaking.

06:08The inability to speak to the Lord

That is one of the big issues in our today's society. The inability people have to speak. They don't want to speak to the Lord God. They want to send a text message. I need this sent. That's it. What do they think? What do you think? You think God is at your service because you are so wonderful and cute. You're wrong.

06:34You are not the Lord's boss

You are a human creation. You are not the Lord's boss. He is the boss. You are a subject to the kingdom of God, not the other way around. Therefore, you need to learn how to talk to the Lord. You bow respectfully. You call Him Lord. And then you say the words based on those words.

07:01Let me assume you speak your prayers

Let me assume for a second that you speak your prayers. I doubt it. I truly doubt it. And why do I doubt that? Because I know how people say they pray. They every say, everyone, they say to me, I pray. No, they don't. They think what they want. They think about their needs. They think about their wants and they say, God knows it. Coming back to the point. Let's suppose that for a miracle, you do speak to the Lord God. Okay. I'm going to assume you do speak your prayers. Okay. I'm going to be nice now to you. I'm going to believe that you say your prayers based on all the words that you say in your prayer time, which I don't know is a long time during the day. But let's suppose you take some time to talk to the Lord.

08:03A, B, C, D: count your words

The words that you say, if you count the words related with thanksgiving, and you say X amount of words, and then you say, this is the words that I can consider part of my complaints. This amount of words. A and B. C is the number of words related when you are telling God the facts. The facts, which facts, whatever the facts are about your situation. Example. Okay, Lord. Well, you know that I don't have this. You know that I don't have that. And you know this and you know that if he knows what is the point of telling him the facts. Well, what is the point? But let's suppose you feel the need of telling him the facts because he doesn't say, no, it. Okay. That's the number of words. C. A is the number of words related with thanksgiving. B is the number of words related with complaints. C is the number of words relating with you telling facts. And D is the number of words that you use when you are talking bad things about the rest. I don't do that. Yes, you do. I never say anything bad about anybody. Yes, you do. You don't want to admit it. But you do.

09:36Divide by the total

Then you take A, B, C, D, total, letter T, and then you divide. A. By T. And you calculate the percentage of each one of those four groups of words.

09:57No thanksgiving, more complaints

I think you understand my point. There is no thanksgiving. There is more complaint. There is more blah, blah, blah. And there is more negativity coming from the mouth of many believers. And then you wonder, why is that?

10:21Where is the worship in your prayers?

Where are the thanksgiving in your prayers? Where is the worship in your prayers? Where is the adoration in your prayers? But you think that by a miracle, you go to church on Sunday if you go. You watch the service of a church on Sunday if you do. And you think that by being in front of the TV or on the phone, while you truly are not paying attention what the preacher is saying, but let's suppose you think that by doing that, God is going to grant you what you are asking as a problem. You see?

11:00"Maybe": that is your problem

All the people were amazed at what Jesus did. And they said, maybe Jesus is the promised Son of God. And that probably is your problem. Probably your problem is you are thinking, well, maybe God really exists. Maybe Jesus is the Son of God. Maybe God hears my prayer. Maybe God can do something for me. You're in your life.

11:26You don't understand that our Lord Jesus is almighty

This is the problem. You don't understand that our Lord Jesus is almighty. Everything is subject to His authority. Subject to His authority, everything is subject to His authority. He decides. And that is why you don't receive miracles.

11:45Jesus is Lord. Not maybe.

That's the problem. My friend, Jesus is Lord. Not maybe. The Lord Jesus is the Son of God. He is the one with authority in the whole universe. But until you get it, you are just going to go through life, stumbling, struggling, and never be joyful. And that's what I wanted to tell you today.

12:12A little humor: chocolate

Thank you for watching anyways. All right. That was a little bit too serious, perhaps for some of you. And I will say that, okay, well, let's try to get a little bit of a good flavor here. Okay. So when they was talking to one of my friends about how wonderful life can be if you choose some chocolate. But this person is so doubtful. He doubt that chocolate is the answer. And he says, but it's worth it to try.

12:41The Godfather

Okay. Okay. Now let's talk about this other thing. Probably you have watched the movie, The Godfather. Maybe you haven't. It doesn't matter. But there is a scene where there is Michael Corleone and Sonny and Clemenza and Tom Hagen, all of them. They are wondering about where Luca Brasi is. Where's Luca? Where is Luca? They were wondering about it. And suddenly there is a package that came with a wrapped fish. And all became clear when Tessio said, Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes. Doubting, doubting, there is going to be an answer.

13:30Uncertainty or indifference?

Okay. Okay. You didn't like that one. Okay. Here we go. There is a place where there were different people representing nations. Remember, this is a joke. Okay. There are different people representing different nations. There is a guy representing Germany. So somebody asked him, what do you think is the biggest problem in Germany? Uncertainty or indifference? So he said, I don't know. And I don't care.
