In this message, the pastor draws from the book of Isaiah—first chapter 1, then chapter 53—to remind his audience that every spiritual renewal must begin “with the one.” He emphasizes the necessity of returning to the foundations of the faith before venturing into more advanced doctrines. Throughout his message, he moves between exhortation, judgment, and a call to inner healing, all while preparing the congregation for a major spiritual milestone expected in the year 2026.
The pastor explains that God does not want His people to jump directly to Isaiah 53, which speaks of the suffering of the Messiah, but that they must first establish the “one” of Isaiah 1. This chapter describes Israel’s rebellion, its lack of attentiveness, and its distance from its Creator. By stressing this, the pastor shows that without a solid foundation, any attempt at spiritual advancement is likely to fail.
God accuses His people of having “all eyes but no ears,” of having been nourished and raised, yet turning their backs on the One who formed them. He uses the image of an animal recognizing its master—the ox and the donkey—and affirms that the children of God do not even recognize their own Master, thus behaving as “less than an animal.” This metaphor is intended to awaken shame and spark awareness of collective rebellion.
The message describes the “wounds, bruises, and open sores” that result from disobedience: sickness, inflammation, gangrene, and even physical and spiritual death. The pastor clarifies that punishment is not solely the work of the devil; it is first God’s response to a community that refuses to follow His word. He warns that if nothing changes, the fire of the end times “will consume everything.”
To escape this condition, the pastor outlines three indispensable steps:
1. Recognize: Admit the wounds and the lack of spiritual understanding.
2. Confess: Publicly acknowledge one’s rebellion before God.
3. Be bandaged: Allow a “doctor of the Word” (a spiritual guide) to apply the “bandage”—prayer, Scripture, and the anointing with oil.
This process must be followed by a firm turnaround: refusing to return to the same sins and committing to live according to divine direction.
The pastor concludes his teaching by announcing that 2026 will be “the year of fire,” when the fire of God will purify the people, consume the wood (human, imperfect works), and touch only the gold (works built according to God’s will). He calls the congregation to offering, generosity, and personal sanctification so that every believer becomes a “living offering,” ready to be refined by divine fire. The night of December 31 to January 1 is presented as the moment when the fire will fall, marking the transition into a new spiritual era.
In summary, the pastor issues an urgent call to return to scriptural foundations, to acknowledge our rebellious condition, and to seek inner healing through a three-step process. He warns of the punishments already underway and the danger of spiritual death if rebellion continues. Finally, he points forward to 2026, when God’s fire is expected to purify the people so they may shine like gold. The challenge is clear: listen, repent, accept divine help, and prepare for radical transformation before the announced “final moment.”
