Perspective for the Promise | Alberto Bello

In this faith-filled and timely message from Fire in Our Bones, Alberto Bello challenges believers to reconsider what they are calling delay, disappointment, or unanswered prayer. Preaching from Numbers 13, he reminds us that God may already be moving, bringing change, and positioning us for promise, even when we cannot yet see it clearly. The issue is not always God’s activity, but our perspective. As Alberto says, “What if God was bringing change and change was already on its way, but you just didn’t have the faith to see it?” This message calls the church to see with fresh eyes, trust God’s timing, and stop letting fear, past pain, or limited thinking distort what He is doing.

With passion, humor, and conviction, Alberto contrasts the fearful report of the ten spies with the spirit of Caleb, who saw promise where others saw problems. He reminds listeners that obstacles do not mean God is absent; often they are the very place where His promise is waiting to be revealed. In one of the strongest themes of the message, Alberto declares, “The promises of God are always wrapped in obstacles,” and urges believers to stop viewing life through the wrong lens. He closes with a call to worship, faith, and spiritual perspective, reminding us that “Maybe change is closer than we think.”
