[00:00:00] Pastor Isaac Noriega: We surrender to the Lord, God, mercy and His great love. Bring forth the grace that brings to us the faith to believe in Him and trust Him in all things. For this is what we must do. We still have some brothers in the, in the hospital, and, uh, we, uh, need to be having in their prayer daily, asking for God's mercy, especially for Brother not doing well.

[00:00:35] Our Brother..., our Brother Pete, Pete Zuniga he has shown some signs of improvement but medical science there, don't want to do much to to keep it, uh, to keep it going. So we just pray that possibly they will allow the family to bring to bring a [00:01:00] brother home. So that we can be in prayer with everything and, uh, also start feeding and start cooking and start eating.

[00:01:09] Because the medical science is very strange. You know, they come to a place where they feel they can't do no more. So then they cut off all food supply. They cut off everything. And this is why we need to pray for our brothers ............ Brother Refugio Lopez. Still in the hospital.

[00:01:33] Um, it's really strange when he came, they tested him. Supposedly he just had some problem with his lungs, and then all of a sudden they came, they tested him again, and then they got the virus. Also, um, for our Brother Danny Chavez, we need pray for him, that God will help him. Our sister, Lisa Chavez, she's heartbroken.

[00:01:58] And, [00:02:00] uh, so is Brother Micah. Brother Micah is out and Brother Brother Salvador is also home. They just heard they let him out. So, uh, his wife will probably be around tomorrow. So we're just trusting that God will be with them. I trust that I can remember. If you're one of them, uh, Brother Zavala. Also, that's another thing.

[00:02:26] People. They want to keep them there. Once it stays stable, they want to keep them there. And they want to start doing experiments with it. Today, uh, Today, uh, uh, uh, The doctor called me. In the past, the doctors may call any of us. Because I had power of attorney for Brother Joe. And he called me and he asked me, uh, in the past they called me and I, and I, and I speak to them and they explain everything that they're doing and so forth and I've rejected a couple, I think one time I [00:03:00] just told them we don't want that kind of experiment.

[00:03:03] I believe that's what it was and then this last time. This, uh, doctor, this one had never talked to me before. And he asked me, is this Pastor Isaac? I said, yes. He said, uh, he said, you, you have a, you have a power of attorney for, for Brother Joe Zavala? For Joe Zavala? And I said, uh, yes. He said, do you have a written word?

[00:03:24] And I said, I said, no. I said, uh, he, he gave me authority when he went in. And, uh, gave my phone number for me to get the authority. Um, ........, and it turns out, then I found out that he called Brother Eugene. Brother Eugene does not have the authority. He does not have the power of attorney. And they called him up, to see if he could experiment something with him.

[00:03:49] And this is what they want to do, you know, they want to keep you in experiment with you. And once they start doing okay, or, or they're stable, that way they can go forward. But see, [00:04:00] we, we, we we're trusting the Lord. We're not saying that they're not doing right or they're not doing the right thing and so forth.

[00:04:06] That's not, that's not to me for said, for me to say, but what, what I can say is God is the only healer. And I know that also men makes a lot of mistakes and I know that they do things and experiments. And they go by theory. They go by something that this one put together over here, and this one put over here. Either way, they go with antibiotics and And, uh, end up, uh, having problems with it.

[00:04:31] Let us pray for this. I'm mentioning this not to run down the, the medical people. Just so you can pray for those brothers and see what, how they entered into those hands of those people. So we just continue to pray for them. And, uh, Sister Rachel Gonzalez also is in the hospital. And, uh, uh, if I missed anyone, you, you, you remember that I, I don't have the, the greatest memory in the world.

[00:04:56] But I just want you to see, [00:05:00] uh, as you pray one for another and ask God to help, to help these people, that God will do something for us. A miracle. And that's what I'm trusting in, believing in God. God is going to give us the victory over all these things. I don't know, maybe somebody here from our church that, uh, reported us, I guess.

[00:05:20] Sometimes, there's some people here that, uh, So, uh, in a, in a way that they, they're so afraid of this that they, so they put on masks and they, they go up there and sit over here, sit over there because they're afraid that, uh, about, uh, the, uh, getting, getting the disease and getting all this. There's a lot of pros and cons on, on the mask.

[00:05:39] But somebody, called the other day, and, uh, tried to, tried to tell them that we, that we weren't doing the right thing here and so forth. And then they called again, my brother, and they, they don't, they don't identify themselves properly. They don't identify themselves, they say they're from the county, and [00:06:00] so forth.

[00:06:00] And, uh, this last one said that he was going to send us something. Some papers and mandates that support, we're supposed to all have, uh, have a mask on in services and so forth. So, uh, that's fine. 

[00:06:19] You know, we, if you want to wear a mask and sit right here, you're welcome to do it. You know, I won't, I won't come against you. That's all the faith you have. Well, I'm not saying that, let me, let me reword that. No. If you feel it in your heart, if you wear a mask, go ahead and wear a mask. Whatever you see, if you feel better about it, go ahead and do it. That's fine. But that's the thing that we, that we, that we, we will not keep you from, from what you think that you should be doing.

[00:06:48] Go ahead and do it. May God bless each and every one of you. I hope that you understand because I don't have the time to really explain a lot of things to you. But we must trust the Lord. Remember that. [00:07:00] I'm just telling you right here. I I I have to, in my lifetime I've had to deal, a lot with doctors, and I know how they are.

[00:07:08] But, to me, the the the old doctors, they were outstanding doctors, have gone on and they died. I wish you would pay attention, my brother. I'm talking and you're, looking down instead of trying to listen to me when I'm trying to tell you. It's very disrespectful. I find people here in the church that, when I'm talking, they just put their head down.

[00:07:29] That's really the reason that I close my eyes and everything, because I see the disrespect of the people here. And God is willing to show us something, and talk to us, in this time, that we pay attention to Him. But may God help you. If you'd rather wear a mask, go ahead and wear a mask. That's, that's fine. But These doctors are all trial and error.

[00:07:50] I see some of these younger doctors, and many of them Indian doctors from India, and they're real smart, they pass their tests and all that, but they don't have the [00:08:00] experience, they don't have common sense, because I've dealt with many of them already, on many occasions, and they're still dealing with it.

[00:08:09] We need to pray. We need to pray for God to help us in this hour, because it has come to that, that we need God to help us in all things.
