Nothing. No desire on this earth surpasses Him, as He is the One who guides our souls to eternity.

He suffered on the cross, groaned, and gave His body as a sacrifice so that we could enter His Kingdom and have salvation. Therefore, we, too, must surrender our hearts and our will to Him.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-350366 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/clamor-do-getsemani-4-1024x683-1.jpeg\" alt=\"The Cry Out of Agreement Directly From Israel\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/clamor-do-getsemani-4-1024x683-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/clamor-do-getsemani-4-1024x683-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/clamor-do-getsemani-4-1024x683-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/clamor-do-getsemani-4-1024x683-1-318x212.jpeg 318w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Teaching From the Temple of Solomon<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>At the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.otemplodesalomao.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Temple of Solomon<\/a><\/span>, following the broadcast from Israel, Bishop Adilson reminded everyone that many people, despite attending church for years, <strong>do not fully surrender themselves<\/strong> and, as a result, do not receive <a href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/tag\/the-holy-spirit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Holy Spirit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He referenced <strong>Matthew 16:15\u201317<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color: #f2f8fc; padding: 2em; border-left: 5px solid #ccc; margin: 1em 0;\"><p>He said to them, \u2018But who do you say that I am?\u2019 Simon Peter answered and said, \u2018You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.\u2019 Jesus answered and said to him, \u2018Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

This is why Jesus called Peter blessed\u2014he was the only one who understood His true identity. The Church is built upon this understanding.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #f2f8fc;\">\u201cAt that moment, Jesus demonstrated that the mysteries of the Gospel, and the true identity of Jesus, can only be known through revelation from the Holy Spirit\u2014not through books, music, or study.
