·23 min·2 clips

When God told King Hezekiah he would die, then added 15 years to his life, did God change His mind?

The episode begins with a standard radio program introduction by host Ismael Garcia, welcoming listeners to 'Esperanza de Vida' and providing contact information and service schedules for Iglesia Mi Casa de Oracion. Garcia introduces the theme of God's sovereignty and guest preacher Carlos Jiménez. Jiménez opens with a prayer, thanking God for the opportunity to preach and asking for the message to touch listeners. He then reads the key scripture, 1 Peter 1:2, which discusses election, sanctification, and obedience through Jesus Christ. Jiménez explains that God's act of choosing the church originated in divine knowledge, not external counsel. He describes God's decree as eternal, established from the foundation of the world, and manifest in the ordered movement of the universe, as referenced in Genesis. Jiménez highlights God's power over life and death, noting that God determined resurrection without needing advice. He discusses predestination as a divine function, where God knows who are His, though humans do not. Jiménez states that salvation is offered to all, using the analogy of a cruise ship where passengers accept the predetermined destination. He addresses the apparent contradiction in the story of King Hezekiah, where God added 15 years to his life after prayer, arguing this reflects God's sovereign will rather than a change of mind. Jiménez emphasizes that prayers should seek God's will for His glory, not human desires. He reiterates God's sovereignty as Creator and owner of the universe, which operates as He determined. Jiménez poses the unresolved question of why God allowed humanity's fall and chose salvation, attributing the reason solely to God. He explains that God decreed salvation, and humans choose to accept it, referencing the Prodigal Son to illustrate that true children return. Jiménez discusses sanctification through relationship with Christ and the Word, stating believers are complete in Christ and need nothing else. He warns against acting independently, like Abraham or Peter, and stresses dependence on Christ for spiritual maturity. The sermon concludes with a prayer of thanks and a request for God's blessing on the transmission and listeners.
