Selah Sessions with Pastor Carlos – Episode: The Posture of a Heart That Hosts His Presence

God isn’t looking for performance. He’s looking for posture.

In this episode, Pastor Carlos takes us beyond the noise and into the quiet places where God still speaks — not to perfect people, but to postured hearts. Hearts that bow before they boast. Hearts that tremble in awe, not fear. Hearts that are emptied of ego and full of hunger.

What does it mean to truly host the presence of God? Why do some carry His weight, while others just feel His wind? And how do we prepare the inner room of our soul for Him to not just visit — but dwell?

This conversation is an invitation to posture yourself in humility, in hunger, and in holiness — so heaven doesn’t just pass by… it comes and stays.

What do you do when Heaven goes quiet?

When the prayers are loud but the response is silence?

In this Selah Session, Pastor Carlos opens up about the moments of fasting, praying, and surrender—when God didn’t speak… yet wasn’t absent.

Drawing from the story of Elijah in the cave and his own personal walk, Pastor Carlos unpacks the mystery of divine silence. This episode explores how God uses quietness not to punish, but to prepare us for deeper surrender, healing, and resurrection.

You’ll be guided into a sacred space to pause, reflect, and hear what can only be heard in stillness. This isn’t just another teaching—it’s a soul recalibration.

Sometimes God doesn’t speak because He’s waiting on what we’re still holding onto.

In this powerful episode of Selah Sessions with Pastor Carlos, we strip away the mystery surrounding the “secret place” and reveal the truth that’s been in plain sight all along—God is not hiding. He’s waiting.

Through scripture, personal reflection, and a wake-up call to the soul, Pastor Carlos reminds us that the secret place is not a location—it’s an invitation. And it’s open. Right now.

Scripture: "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." - Colossians 3:12 (NIV)

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NKJV)

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,

In these verses, Paul emphasizes the supremacy of love. He

"For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." - 1 Timothy 4:8 (NKJV)

In this verse, Paul draws a sharp contrast between physical exercise and spiritual exercise. While physical exercise is beneficial for our bodies, its benefits are limited to this life. On the other hand, godliness—the pursuit of a life dedicated to God—yields benefits that extend far beyond the temporal realm. It promises not only the blessings of this life but also the hope of eternal life with God.

In our lives today, we often face situations that bring sorrow or uncertainty. We may encounter departures, transitions, or changes that leave us feeling unsettled. However, just as Jesus assured His disciples, these moments are often part of a greater divine plan. Just as Jesus promised to return to His disciples, we can trust in God's promises for our lives. Even when circumstances seem difficult to understand, we can find comfort in the knowledge that God's plans are always for our ultimate good.

Nearly everyone, at some point or another, has been subject to intrusive thoughts. These involuntary, unwanted images, phrases, or impulses are extremely common. Spontaneous and intrusive thoughts of violence to children or animals, inappropriate sexual contact, and blasphemy can be extremely disturbing and even cause some to question their salvation. But are they even sin?
