The Chain
The righteous are bold as a lion.
Another lion verse?
Lord, are you trying to tell me something?
Oh Ricardo! You scared me!
I am preparing your breakfast.
Potato and egg tacos.
I also made you some fresh salsa.
And your lunch as well.
What did you make?
Well, since we got home late from church last night,
I did not have time to prepare something different.
So, you will be having the same thing we ate last night.
I hear the Americans say
"lovers."
They say "left overs," not "lovers"
What you said means lovers.
Excuse me, Mr. English teacher!
Well, that is how the Americans say it.
Ok then, "left overs."
You understood me, right?
Oh, my love. I was kidding. You know me.
This will be the best "lovers,"
that I have had in my entire life!
You see, Ricardo Antonio Perez!
You have the ability to connect with others.
I love your personality!
I know you are a very friendly person my love.
You have the potential to have many friends!
Oh Brenda.
Talking to you is not the same as talking to others.
I don't have much confidence talking with others.
It's embarrassing.
I sound dumb.
And when I do say something,
people start to make fun of me.
Why bother talking?
Don't be afraid Ricardo.
Remember what Pastor said last night,
we should not fear.
I know what he said Brenda!
Look,
I will do my best my love.
Give me time.
All I ask is for your patience and your prayers.
You got it my love.
The Lord is with you.
Use those talents and you'll see God work in your life.
Hurry up!
The guys are outside.
I have to go.
We get paid today once we finish this job, ok?
Perfect!
The Lord always supplies our needs on time.
He is never late.
Come on!
What did you bring me?
Give me everything your wife made for you,
or you stay here, with no work!
Just kidding!
Look, he's going to cry!
He's frowning!
Calm down, Ricardo. They were just playing around.
Not even a joke made you speak up!
Why don't you defend yourself, Ricardo?
Alright, that's enough!
We have a long road ahead of us and it's getting late.
Are you ready,
"Mudo?"
Wait! Wait! Wait!
What?
I don't listen to that music.
Heavenly Father,
protect my Ricardo, Lord.
Keep him safe in the palm of your hand.
I ask you to fill him with your Holy Spirit, Lord.
Use him in a mighty way, Lord.
So that he can fulfill your will.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
Listen, I don't know if you guys have adult diapers on
since none of you have said anything,
but with that gallon of coffee that I drank,
it's time for me to go!
I have to pee!
Jefe, we have been driving for over two hours.
I think its time for a pit stop.
Daniel, we only have one hour to go.
Can't you just hold it?
15 minutes.
Maybe 30, but an hour?
I'm not wearing an adult diaper!
For goodness sake!
Anyone else?
Yes, I have to go too.
I do. Daniel's right.
What about you "Mudo?"
Well now! If "Mudo" has to go, then we need to stop this instant!
Roman!
Yes sir, Mr. Allen.
Where the heck are you?
Uh, we are about an hour away.
Woah! Woah! Woah! I don't want to hear all that!
Did you bring everything?
Yes sir. I got everything, all the tools.
Please tell me you packed the chain!
Donny and his crew of morons
done busted the one we had yesterday
and we need it to finish this job today
and that don't mean "manyanee"
or whatever it is you speak!
Yes Mr. Allen. Don't worry.
Be happy!
What?
No. No. No. Nothing. Nothing. We'll be there soon.
We'll get here as quick as you can,
and don't get a speeding ticket cause I'm not gonna pay for another one
and we don't need another delay! Is that clear?
Ok, Mr. Allen. See you then.
Lord,
How are you going to use me?
I don't understand.
I have nothing to offer you.
Brother Ricardo!
Pastor Gutierrez!
How are you?
Good.
It's good to see you.
That's good. Long time no talk. Is everything ok?
All is well thank God.
That's good. That's good.
So tell me, how's work?
Well, it's ok, but
it would be better with more money and less hours.
We'd all like that wouldn't we!
Love, here is your coffee.
Hello my love. Thank you.
Ricardo, it's good to see you! How are you?
Hello Pastora. God bless you.
Would you like some coffee?
No thank you.
Ok.
Well, I will let you guys keep talking,
and please tell Brenda I said hello.
Absolutely.
Thank you, my love.
You're welcome my love.
Pastor, the truth is
I don't like my job.
No? And why not Ricardo?
The job is fine, but my coworkers...
What about them?
Well, since they are non-believers
and they know that I am a Christian, they make fun of me.
I am sorry to hear that Ricardo.
They treat me badly.
They make fun of me.
It's the same thing day after day.
I do my best to bite my tongue.
Just like Jesus said,
"if anyone slaps on the cheek,
turn to them the other cheek also."
I know it's not easy.
I am to the point of quitting.
I would rather be unemployed
than to continue working with those guys.
If only I worked with Christians,
Oh Brother,
let me tell you that working with Christians isn't any easier.
We're human. Nobody is perfect, only God is.
Besides,
what good is it to the Lord that you are with Christians all day, every day?
We would be in fellowship, Pastor!
Well that's good,
but it is better to win a soul for the Lord.
You won't be able to do that being around Christians every day.
You're right.
And how do we win souls for the Lord?
By being with non-Christians,
showing them the love and light of Jesus.
I still would like another job,
but I know it's not easy to quit your job.
Ricardo, the Bible tells us in Romans
that all things work together for good
to those who love God,
to those who are called
according to His purpose, Ricardo.
That's true.
Look Ricardo,
God has you exactly where he wants you.
Really? How so, Pastor?
The Lord has you there to fulfill His will.
Look,
most non-believers don't read the Bible.
Maybe your life will be the only Bible
your coworkers will ever read.
I try to live a life that is pleasing to God.
Perhaps your life will touch the lives of your coworkers.
And in turn, they will give their lives to Christ.
I don't believe,
that would be a miracle!
I don't believe that is possible.
They continue to gossip,
tell lies,
cuss
and they whistle at women
even though they are married, Pastor.
Jesus said "If you believe, all things are possible."
Remember that before Paul's conversion
he persecuted Christians.
I know, Pastor.
I hope that something good will come out of this situation.
Keep praying for me.
Of course, brother.
It's all on His timing. Don't worry.
You keep working,
keep praying for them,
keep loving them,
keep doing good,
remain faithful to the Lord
and in due time, you will reap your harvest.
I know that God is on the brink of doing
something great in your life, Ricardo.
I needed to hear that Pastor.
I feel so much better.
Thank you so much.
Very good!
May God bless you my brother Ricardo.
I'll let you get back to work.
Very good.
God knew I needed this.
Very good. God bless you Ricardo.
See you tomorrow.
Very good. God bless you.
How much longer until we get there?
In my country, we used to gather about a million of these
to make a small loaf of bread.
Just to make only one?
Well, that's the way it is.
What did you do in Cuba?
I mean the Dominican Republic.
Like monkeys?
Which cigar is better? The one from Cuba or the Dominican Republic?
The bananas for females.
Bananas for males and females.
You did not put it in the truck, idiot!
What?
The chain!
Yes, I did put it Dad!
Maybe you removed it while reorganizing stuff like always!
You lying kid!
You were distracted, talking to that girl on the phone!
That's not true, Dad!
Man, you are always doing this at the last hour,
Ok, Mr. Allen. I'll see you tomorrow.
Junior!
Yes?
Finish preparing the tools.
Yes sir.
Hi Roman. How did it go?
Fine, Maria.
I'm just tired.
And Junior?
He's packing a few things for tomorrow. He will be in shortly.
Ok, dinner is ready.
You want me to serve you? I only need the tortillas.
Yes.
But first let me wash my hands.
Hi son.
Hey Dad.
Always playing those games!
Roberto.
Roberto!
Huh?
Go tell your brother that dinner is ready.
Oh, but I'm in the middle of my game. Just a couple more,
Go call your brother now!
And what did I tell you?
Speak to me in Spanish. I don't understand you.
You have to practice.
Ok! Ok!
Don't have a heart attack.
What did you say?
Yes Mommy. I'm going. I love you very much!
Boy!
Hello?
Roman?
Hi Lucia. How are you my love?
Good. Just here, missing you.
Me too! I'm anxious to see you this weekend!
Well, we don't have to wait until this weekend.
What do you mean?
Why don't you come over right now?
Lucia, you know I can't.
And why not?
We have to wake up early tomorrow my love.
We have to work far from here, about 3 hours away.
But, tomorrow we get paid!
All right. That's fine.
But let's see what you buy me with all that money.
Coming your way.
I'm choking! I'm choking!
Junior is not done yet?
I'll surprise you.
Lucia, I have to
Listen, before you hang up,
tell me how much you love me.
Lucia, my love for you is
deeper than the sea.
Aww how sweet!
Now, send me kisses over the phone.
Seriously, I have to go.
Send me kisses,
or you will spend the weekend by yourself.
Alright, here they go.
Ooooo, how romantic!
Roberto!
I have never seen so much love.
Hold on my love.
What are you doing here? I am talking to Lucia!
Get! Get out of here!
Hey, hey, hey. Mom says that dinner is ready.
Alright. I'm coming.
Get out of here!
Alright.
Lucia, I have to go.
We will talk later.
I love you.
Bye.
Junior, now what?
What are we going to do?
Without that chain, we can't finish the job.
And if we can't finish the job, we won't get paid!
Why can't we buy one?
With what money? Those chains cost more than $500!
Besides, where do you think we will find one around here?
That forgetful kid! He forgets everything!
That boy always forgets everything.
I don't know where his mind is.
I packed it.
You always forget everything.
Surely, you were talking to that girlfriend.
It's not there! Where did you leave it?
Now what are we going to do?
If we don't have the chain, then how can we work?
Where did you leave it?
I packed it.
Where?
Last night, I told him to pack all the tools.
We thank you this evening for reuniting us here.
Father, bless your Holy Word and your people also
and grace us with your presence this evening.
In Jesus name,
Amen!
You can take your seats this evening.
You look great this evening. Amen? Glory be to God!
Amen!
How many of you praise Him tonight?
Blessed be the Lord! Hallelujah!
Glory to the Lord!
Tonight, I want to tell you that God has plans
marvelous plans for our lives.
Not plans for our glory,
but plans for His glory working through us. Amen?
How many of you praise Him tonight?
There is only one thing God requires from us to be used by Him.
Faith! Faith!
The Word of God tells us in Hebrews
that faith is the substance, Amen?
of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Amen!
Glory to God.
When we have faith,
we have obedience,
which is simply putting faith into practice.
Amen? How many of you praise Him tonight?
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Glory to the Lord!
The book of Judges talks about a man named Gideon.
Upon hearing his story,
You would think that this man was a superhero,
someone special,
bringing freedom to God's people,
but that was not the case.
He was just an ordinary person, Amen?
just like all of us.
Amen!
You might ask, "But Pastor,
how was it that this man could accomplish wonders?"
I mean, he himself declared
he himself declared
that he was the most insignificant of his family,
incapable of saving Israel.
Amen? Do you follow what I'm saying tonight?
How many of you praise Him tonight?
Glory to God.
The answer?
God's declaration over his life.
The Lord told him "O mighty man of valor!"
By faith, Gideon believed God's declaration
and converted that faith into obedience.
People of God, let me tell you something tonight.
The Lord is declaring that you are warriors!
Amen!
People of valor,
sons and daughters of the Most High God!
Amen!
Glory to God!
Amen!
You don't have to be afraid.
God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power, love and sound mind.
Amen? Glory to God!
The Bible says
that Gideon and many others used by God,
out of weakness became strong.
They became valiant in battle!
What is our battle you ask?
Let me tell you.
It is whatever circumstance
that we find ourselves in
that requires God's help and power.
How many of you need God's help and power tonight?
Our prayer should be,
"God!" Say it with me tonight.
"What would you have me do?"
What would you have me do?
"I am ready Lord."
I am ready Lord.
"I am valiant!"
I am valiant!
"I am a warrior!"
I am a warrior!
Hallelujah!
Amen!
Glory to the Lord!
Come boldly Church of God,
bring your petitions to God.
Here's a question for you.
Are lions brave
or cowards?
Brave!
Do you think that lions are afraid of anything?
No!
In English, they are called, "The King of the Jungle."
Or they are also called, "The King of the Beasts."
Aha!
You didn't think this message was going to have English in it, did you?
Well, you struck gold tonight!
Glory to God!
The translation is "King of the Jungle" and "King of the Beasts."
Even the apostle Peter compared the devil to a roaring lion!
We should have a lot of respect for lions, Amen?
Amen!
But I love what God says in Proverbs,
I love it!
"The righteous are bold as the lion!"
Glory to God! Amen!
Let's see. I want to hear you roar like a lion. Go on.
Glory to God! Glory to God!
Let this word penetrate your spirit tonight.
And God will do extraordinary things in your lives, if you let Him!
Are you ready?
Hallelujah! Give Him a shout of praise!
Blessed is the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
I told him to pack the tools and he starts talking on the phone with that girl.
Stop, Stop, please!
You said something,
"Mudo?"
Fighting won't resolve anything.
Instead, let's just ask God
to send us a chain?
What did you say?
We should ask God?
For a chain?
What are you laughing at?
We have no other choice.
The Bible says "if you can believe, all things are possible."
Man, I tell you!
El "Mudo" never speaks,
but when he does, he speaks total nonsense!
Ricardo, why did you say that? I told you they would make fun of you.
I don't know what is worse.
Forgetting the chain
or asking God for one.
Asking God for one!
Everyone, shut up! That's enough!
"Mudo,"
I don't have time for this.
I have to figure out how we are going to get a chain as quickly as possible.
If you want to talk about your religious ideas,
that's your business. I don't believe in those things.
That's fine.
Father,
I thank you for everything.
My life,
my job,
even my coworkers.
Lord, you know the situation we are in.
We need a chain.
Your Word says that
the prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Use my faith.
I place my trust in you Lord.
Do something extraordinary in my life for your glory.
Thank you, Father.
In Jesus name, Amen.
You finished "Mudo?"
What did God say? Will it rain chains or what?
What is this?
What is it?
I cannot believe it. Look what I found.
"Mudo,"
I believe that your God answers prayer.
What do the religious nuts say?
Hallelujah! It's a miracle!
He sent us
a chain!
Here you go "Mudo."
Thank your God for me!
Let's go.
We have no other option.
We return home. We'll be back tomorrow.
But there will be no payday today.
You see? Again! All because you forgot the chain!
You didn't pray on time, "Mudo."
Your God didn't come through!
Religion is a waste of time!
Why did you say that, Ricardo?
I told you that they were going to make fun of you.
Well, Come on!
Let's get to work!
And my God
will meet all your needs
according to the riches of His glory
in Christ Jesus.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God
that if we ask anything according to His will,
He hears us.
Now to Him who is able to do
immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine,
according to His power that is at work within us.
And receive from Him anything we ask,
because we keep His commands
and do what pleases Him.
Thank you, Lord!
I worship you Lord!
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord!
Maria?
Roberto?
It looks like they are not home.
Are you ok?
Yes. Why?
You have not said one word since we left. That's unlike you.
I'm fine. There was nothing to say.
What do you think about what happened today?
Nothing.
But Dad,
Ricardo prayed
and a truck passed by and dropped the chain we needed.
You don't think that
You don't think that was...something?
Coincidence! Pure coincidence! I don't believe in religious acts!
Have you ever prayed to God at least once in your life?
I have never prayed, and I am not about to start.
You have never asked God for anything?
No.
But Dad, what if God does exist?
We can't deny what we saw today!
We can't deny God!
Enough! Listen to me! I don't want to hear another word about this!
And I don't want you telling your mother what happened today!
Do you understand me?
Yes sir.
Good. I am going to jump in the shower.
Blessed be the name of the Lord this morning.
How many of you praise the Lord this morning?
Glory to the Lord!
Blessed be His name!
Let's see. Who has a testimony they'd like to share with us this morning?
Let's see. Raise your hand.
You go!
Come on, brethren.
Is God dead or what?
What has God done in your lives?
One testimony.
Come on brethren.
Brother Ricardo, come on up here brother!
Glory to God, brother!
What has God done in your life?
Aren't miracles wonderful, Amen?
Amen?
Hallelujah!
Amen! Glory to the Lord!
Tell us brother. What has God done in your life?
God bless you brethren.
I am in awe of the wonders that God does.
I'm going to share my testimony that has occurred in my life.
I work in construction.
and we were on our way to work
and we arrived at work
we needed a chain to finish our job.
But,
I realize that serving God is the best thing we can do.
The chain was not in the truck.
The boss's son left it behind.
We started, well, they started to argue.
Being a servant of God, I put my trust in Him.
Then I told them, "You know what?"
We need to pray to God so He can send us a chain."
They rejected the word.
But I still asked God for the chain so He could send a miracle
so, we could finish the job.
God works in mysterious ways as it says in His Word.
And it also says in His Word,
"And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do,"
and I asked the Lord.
Anyone who asks with a pure heart in His presence,
the Lord hears your cry.
The Lord hears your voice.
In reality, I was in awe.
A car passed by at high speed.
Something fell.
My coworkers and my boss were surprised.
When my boss picked up that which fell,
I saw my boss pick up
the chain!
Brethren, I was even amazed.
All glory and honor for the Lord.
God was glorified in my prayer and petition.
All glory and honor for Him. Amen!
Hallelujah! Glory to God!
We give you thanks Lord!
I'll wait for you outside my love. Don't take long.
Junior?
Hi Ricardo.
I'm so glad to see you here at church!
Thank you.
The truth is that I never thought I'd be in church seeking God.
The important thing is that you came, and that is the first step.
Well, I think I am ready for the next step.
Seriously?
Yes. Ricardo, I felt that God had been calling me for some time.
But when you started working with us, I felt it much more.
Really?
Yes.
Since everyone made fun of you, it was easier for me to just go with the flow.
However, seeing the miracle that day,
I felt as if the Lord was saying to me, "What else would you like to see?"
Wow!
The truth is I don't need to see anything else.
I want to know God. Will you help me?
Of course! Glory to God!
Seriously?
Repeat this with me.
Heavenly Father, the Bible says that we are all sinners.
Wash my sins with your blood. Forgive our sins, Lord.
We are all sinners. We give you thanks, Lord.
Your Word says that when one soul repents,
there is rejoicing in the heavens.
In Jesus name Lord, fill Junior with your power.
Give him wisdom in Your ways.
In Jesus name, we worship, bless and glorify Your holy name. Amen!
Thanks Ricardo!
You're welcome, brother!
The truth is that I never thought a chain would have changed my life.
The Lord is the one who changes lives. God works in mysterious ways.
Seriously, I am ready for God to use me.
He will brother.
Starting with my family. I want my family to know God, especially my dad.
Amen.
I know he is not going to like my decision.
He might even kick me out of the house, but I know the Lord will help me.
God will never forsake us.
You can always count on us.
And welcome to the Family of God!
Thank you!
Always follow God. Don't turn away from Him. Always follow Him.
The Chain
