ENGLISH Dante Gebel #851 | Come and see!
Many people give up on their dreams because the system or organized religion told them that there is no place for them. But, if God started something in our life, we should not abort it just because there is pain or opposition. All that pain is an indication that labor is approaching; even though, like Mary, we have to give birth to our dream among sheep, oxen, cows and other animals. Remember that circumstances cannot stop the promise. The Lord has created a Kingdom outside the system and we can all be part of that Kingdom.

oh
that is your
seed we finally finished River toys and
it was truly marvelous that’s our seed
thank you not just for what happened
last night but for all that we were able
to do in different parts of the world
thanks to your seed thanks to what you
swed and to your
generosity we’ll have time to
thank the people all over the world next
Sunday for the 31st but I wanted to give
thanks for all those that were a part of
this marvelous event that has to do with
blessing the children giving them a
moment of joy that they’ll never forget
and they’ll know that the church is part
of their needs spoiling them what they
like and that’s marvelous and as we did
it for one of these little ones we did
it for the Lord right are we ready
people yes or
no like every year for these holidays
once again I’m sure that at least those
of us that live in this part of the
world well I think the majority of the
planet we were invaded by shopping
compulsive
shopping the way Hispanics do it three
months before Christmas and not last
minute like Americans
right traffic all over right the few
Christmas
cards
that represent the manger because there
are a few that represent a
Manger they now show a sacred family
very Serene with Halos over their heads
and inside the greeting card they use
cordial words such as Love Good Will joy
happiness and it’s always good that we
honor Christmas with with good emotions
nice words good desires however as I
mentioned each
year during this
service when we go to the biblical
story The AER meaning of Christmas we
notice a very different story to the
famous Spirit of the Hollywood Christmas
and it’s not wrong it’s nice it’s it’s
beautiful all the colors the party the
celebration however I insist we should
remember that that first Christmas in
history didn’t have any
reindeers no sled no elves no Smoky
chimneys much less
any families dressed up in red opening
Christmas gifts but we can never forget
that
today we’re commemorating
commemorating the only King that came
into this world without any dignity and
without any royalty he came in as a
child as a baby yes in fact he was an
illegitimate son because his parents
were not married and in all
languages we can find a vulgar
expression to describe an illegitimate
son and they’re all
frightening they all tend to
be proca Shameless indecent obscene
words then this is what we would use to
mention the child who is in who is
illegitimate and we know that his crib
was was in a barn it was in a
Manger his roommates had four legs he
had no sort of lineage ancestry or
family tree when he was born and the
true story doesn’t look like the
greeting cards we see nowadays Mary and
Joseph were not Kings they didn’t arrive
to Bethlehem in a caravan with servants
camels surrounded by
trinkets with the honors of a head of
state no they were just immigrants they
were fugitives in fact and so Jesus
Christ was literally born outside of the
legal system outside of the religious
system and outside of the political
system outside of the establishment
outside of any system and in that system
there was another king named
Herod herod’s figure represented
greatness back then Herod was born in a
noble crib he was an Army
leader the Roman senate gave him the
title The King of the Jews the first
king of the Jews was
Herod when he was just 33 years old what
an irony right right that’s the age at
which our Lord went up on the cross at
the age of 33 Herod was named King of
the Jews and he was such a good
politician or I don’t know maybe a good
dictator that he kept power for 40
years and he was the greatest builder of
all
times no one in the in herro’s Period
erected so many buildings or had
projects that were so grandio that
showed such Splendor in his in this
world and Jesus was also a builder but
he built tables and chairs because he
was a
carpenter and there’s no historic
registry or archaeological registry that
some of his work has
survived we don’t have a table or a
chair that he built while he was a
carpenter I don’t think it lasted
through time but for the ancient world
Herod was who was closest to the gods he
was C
counselor and the only biography that
exists about King Herod says Herod King
of the
Jews and a friend of the Romans and they
would call Jesus a friend of the Sinners
a friend of the broken people and that
wasn’t praise they weren’t praising him
in fact they would arrest him as an
enemy to Rome on the antipodes of Herod
but Herod represented the system the EST
establishment he governed in a time in
which only
the implacable survived Herod was the
most effective leader that the Empire
had ever seen he was a man that if
somebody bothered him he would demand
that they be executed he executed two of
his brother-in-laws even the wife he
loved most he had suspicions about her
and he said well just in case let’s cut
her head off and obviously he killed his
mother-in-law as well right after Herod
no one else would use the title King of
the Jews
except a victim of a crucifixion that
had been born outside of the herodian
system outside of the Roman
system herod’s life and Jesus life
crossed only once when the wise from the
East went to go and ask where they could
find the true king of the Jews they went
to go ask the guy Herod the Bible
narrates that when King Herod heard this
he was Disturbed of course and now we
understand why he was the king of the
Jews or that’s what he was considered to
be at the very least and the word says
that Herod was infuriated and he sent
out the military to kill all the infant
males because he didn’t know what age
the new king of the Jews could be he
said maybe he is one years old maybe
he’s a newborn but he’s not older than
two so this period was known as the
Massac of the innocent an act of
extermination and
Terror Amongst babies obviously that
doesn’t that’s never represented in any
living manger we don’t want to remember
that but under the
D dictatorial regime under Herod the
order to exterminate all the infants was
a government measure to maintain
stability so that he can remain on the
throne as he faced the threat of the
invasion of another kingdom and so on a
day like today even though the dates may
not coincide in the midst of
Terror Jesus was taken to Egypt as a
refuge and so the night he was born not
everyone was sleeping around not
everything was
shining it wasn’t a silent night Herod
sent his soldiers to all the peasants
homes they would kick the door down and
when they would find a male infant they
would pierce the infant’s body with the
spear Bethlehem didn’t have any silent
nights while Herod was searching for
Jesus and Herod who built cities who
directed
armies he was known as Herod the
Great but no it didn’t occur to anyone
to call Jesus Jesus the great when
Matthew mentions Jesus for the first
time when Jesus debuts in scripture he
uses a different title he says go and
inform yourselves well about this
baby then he tells Joseph get up take
the baby and escape to Egypt and so
Joseph took the baby every time Jesus
appears he doesn’t appear as the great
or the son of the king or the prince no
he appears as the baby the boy and the
tital baby especially in those
days was on the antipodes of a
king it was on the other side of the
street of those that were great in the
ancient world children were at the
lowest
rung and in Greek and in Latin a child
the word means those who do not
speak so being a child in the times of
Rome was being
dependent completely defenseless fragile
at risk because these aren’t qualities
that we would associate with heroic ISM
now or then a hero is someone that makes
things happen a child is a
being that goes through things things
happen to them and many children at
Jesus’s age didn’t grow up in the old
world undesired babies were abandoned so
that they would just die and so the head
of the family had the legal
right to kill a child without being
accused of
crime a child could be killed up to
eight days after birth and that could be
because they were born in the wrong
gender if they wanted a boy and they got
a girl they would kill her or
defect or poverty because they wouldn’t
be able to sustain the
baby these are the most frequent
frequent reasons as to why babies were
abandoned families might have said no
this isn’t the the boy I was expecting
or or they doubted the the legitimacy of
the child there was no DNA testing so if
there were any doubts they would just
assassinate the child and since Jesus
was considered an illegitimate child if
Joseph had been Roman Jesus wouldn’t
have survived
these babies were
abandoned on farms and that would happen
so frequently that babies children were
called Coos and this means
manure instead of saying how many
children do you have you might ask how
much manure have you accumulated over
time it’s frightening but this was the
lowest level in society amongst families
and babies with special needs are those
that appear to be weak they would be
eliminated by in them and a Roman law
stipulated that if a child was born with
deformities then they should be
eliminated
quickly and children had value if they
had any value or any if they could serve
the state some children would eventually
become slaves and that baby in Bethlehem
eventually grew up and he began to say
things about other children one day they
asked them
Lord who is the most important in the
heavens and Matthew wrote This Moment
down and he said he called a child he
called a Coos he put him in the middle
and then he
said unless you all change and become
like this child you will not enter into
the Kingdom of
Heaven that’s like telling all these
people you have to be the worst of the
worst as dependent as you can be and
then the Lord adds as such those that do
not humble themselves like this child
will never be great in the om of Heaven
Jesus didn’t say that it was the child’s
task to be like Herod he said no herod’s
task is to be like the child and later
on he announced something that never
would have crossed anyone’s mind he said
whoever receives in my name this child
receives me the culos had new identity
and since then children the
broken those of us that were once man
newer we now have a place in God’s
kingdom due to the fact that somebody
redeemed us isn’t it
marvelous a kingdom for the children
before Disneyland huh and who said that
well the person that was born outside of
the political system and outside of the
religious system with that being said
here’s the core of today’s
message and I want us to be able to
store it in our hearts we have to
comprehend
that great things great great Visions
great
dreams often are born outside of the
system the Bible says that
Mary gave birth to the child and we all
know what happened there was no room at
any hotels or
hospitals this woman understood that
great things always come or always occur
outside of systems outside of the box
and sometimes the system wants to block
us it wants to cut us off because we
don’t speak the language we’re Hispanic
we’re immigrants our skin color
sometimes the system is going to close
the door on us and tell us that we can’t
come in it’s going to leave us outside
of the circle in a vulnerable moment and
it’s one thing to feel excluded we’ve
all been on the grass of exclusion at
one point but it’s another thing when
they leave us out in a moment in which
we feel very vulnerable when we need a
hug the most when we most need a word of
support and they leave us out out of
whatever there are occasions when we
can’t wait for the system to open the
door for us and give us a space so that
we can give birth to what the lord gave
us or placed in us but I’ve understood
throughout the years that God prefers to
do great things in strange places if
they would have told us 30 years back
that River Arena would be a part of the
barns of the world during the pandemic
after the Pand pandemic we wouldn’t have
believed it but he touches what isn’t so
that it can be He blesses what wasn’t so
that it could be isn’t it
marvelous that’s God’s style it’s to do
Miracles outside of the system in dark
places in places that are rejected
places that are marginalized It could
only occur to God to give birth to a
King in a barn or in a stable in a
manger and many people give up on their
dreams I know there are people that at
this point of the year saying I’m tired
I’m exhausted I’m I’m fed up because of
the system because of organized religion
they it tells you there’s no place for
you there’s no spot for you to hide so
that you can rest for you to have the
rest of the warrior in fact the actual
world says there’s no place for your
faith the world is telling you there is
no place for your Christian convictions
there’s no place for Christian values
not on Netflix not on HBO not on Hulu
not on Amazon Prime not in real life not
at schools not at universi
there’s room for everything else there’s
room for the diversity of gender there’s
space for homosexuals bisexuals
transgenders those that call themselves
they them or a dog or elephant for rap
there’s bad words for porno but there
the system always tells us there’s room
for all that but there’s no room for
your convictions and there are occasions
where you have to bring it out to light
the
dream amongst cows amongst other animals
among sheep but the circumstances can
never stop the promise never and I want
you to record this the system listen the
system will never allow you to give
birth to something truly great or it’ll
at least try to stop you great things
are always born outside of the box
always so you have to be willing to go
through a certain season in an
uncomfortable situation to obtain what
God has promised us there are situations
that you have to go through and one of
the
things that makes me love God and makes
me follow him all these years is that he
did it all outside of the system he did
it outside of the political system
outside of the religious system no one
hated Jesus the way the church people
did the Pharisees the
seduces the people that tried to kill
him he was born outside of the system he
preached outside the synagogues he
developed his ministry outside of the
system he died outside of the system the
book of Hebrews says that he died
outside of the doors of
Jerusalem and so I don’t know what it is
God promised you for this new year
that’s beginning in what just seven
days maybe you’re initiating a business
or maybe you’re welcoming someone to
your family or you’re starting a
Ministry or maybe this time you’re
giving birth to a vision but you don’t
see the resources you’re stumbling
before God’s promise and you’re saying
did I understand it correctly or was I
just did I have an upset stomach that
night because I had too many burritos if
you would have had Argentinian barbecue
that wouldn’t happen but because you eat
Adas and all those other things that’s
why your nightmares come about I have no
theological basis but it
happens others are saying you
know my life I’m losing my life and I
don’t have enough help I don’t have
enough
support I don’t have enough people
around me I realize that I don’t have
enough money to begin how can I start
something new if I can barely handle my
death
but I’ve learned that if we spend too
much time looking for people’s approval
we’re never going to be able to give
birth to what God promised
us we’re very up and down that’s how
people are I’m not speaking about
extraterrestrials at one point we’re
saying hosana to the king but then the
other day in the next day we’re saying
crucify him go to social media and
you’ll see how we are if we build based
on people’s opinions everything we build
will
collapse so it’s not necessary to have
man’s approval get get rid of that bird
and give that to yourself for this
Christmas it’s not necessary to have
man’s resources it’s not necessary to
have man’s money someone here should say
Amen because this is
marvelous I still remember many many
years
back when I was just getting started
with my Ministry a businessman
threatened me and said if I stop giving
you money I don’t know what you’re going
to do
you’re going to die of hunger he said to
me and I remember I was very young even
skinnier than I am now and there at the
Terrace of a parking structure at a
mall I took courage and I pointed at him
with my finger I looked him in his eyes
God doesn’t let me exaggerate or lie I
was very young my finger was trembling a
bit because the guy was tall he was
big but it’s those moments of Courage
where you say something and you run away
after I said look you’re so poor that
the the only thing you have is Money in
the Bank you’re
poor but with me there’s something
greater on behalf of God so as soon as
you do me the favor
of leaving here I’m going to have a line
of businessmen that are going to have
the honor of being a part of this Vision
I I’ll never forget it I took courage I
said you can never obtain anointing with
your money you can never obtain favor
with your money but with my anointing
and favor I won’t have any issues with
money
and he left upset and then God brought
many resources after that through other
people and I also remember because today
is a day to remember these marvelous
things I remember the director of a TV
show that threatened me it was a
religious Channel he threatened me with
this Mafia Tony said if I take you off
the air off my channel in less than two
months people won’t know who you are
they don’t even know they won’t even
know what your ministry is about because
I I made you grow then he said to
me I lifted up this person’s Ministry
and that person’s and I can make you
disappear almost like it’s going to look
like an
accident here I was a little older and I
said look TV Chains Don’t anoint people
since I’ve had the use of Reason God is
the only one that can lift up promote
and sustain and
bless someone has to say amen and say
that’s my God now
we don’t have to fit into the system
actually we should avoid going into the
system and the word is let us not abort
the baby I don’t know what it is you’re
developing on behalf of the Lord don’t
abort the baby don’t assassinate let us
not assassinate our
dream it can be a difficult season like
Mary and Joseph went through it may even
appear controversial no one will
understand
you you always see Mary Jesus’s mother
with a religious tone but man she was a
little girl she became pregnant she’s
the first one to say I was left pregnant
by the Holy Spirit I’m saying she was
the first because other women wanted to
say the same thing later just it wasn’t
true
though and her her boyfriend had to
believe her an angel had to appear to
her so that they could believe what do
you think her parents thought what would
you say if your daughter your 16
17-year-old daughter tells you I was
left pregnant by the Holy Spirit it
wasn’t Joseph it wasn’t my
boyfriend first you would kill Joseph
just in case and then you would look
into it to see if it was the Holy Spirit
and so it’s possible that this season is
controversial we may feel pain maybe we
don’t feel
support maybe we even have friends that
don’t understand the season that we’re
going through and it’s possible that we
don’t count on the support from people
that we respect we say well they
supported me my whole life but for some
reason
when you begin to live a in a season in
which a Dream from God is developing
some people won’t understand you they’ll
say you won’t have the capacity you
don’t have the resources you can’t but
I’ve learned that if God began something
in our lives we should never abort it
just because there’s pain or because
there’s
opposition I know that some
metaphorically speaking speaking with
hyperbole some of your feet are swollen
those women that have been pregnant will
understand this you’re throwing up all
the time your back hurts you don’t know
how else you can lay down to rest and
you’re about
to begin your
labor but the Lord is showing me that
all that effort all that work obviously
a birth is on the horizon some people
say I I can’t anymore I don’t know how
I’ll make it to the end of the year I
won’t make you lift your hand but I know
you’re
here and the more often the contractions
are the closer the baby is the more it
starts to hurt when you say I can’t
anymore God tells me to tell you don’t
give in don’t surrender because what
I’ve promised you is going to come do
you believe it yes or no and
so it’s
possible that you’re going through
opposition
contractions but this is the moment in
which you have to push if I were a
modern Pastor I would you know the
pastors from today I’m a little
oldfashioned old school but I would tell
you tell the person next to you push
brother now turn to the person behind
you and push but there are since there
are many people that are
guests I don’t want you to look at them
with your Bulldog face however when the
pain increases that’s when you have to
push the most
right yeah good thing the men didn’t say
yes as if they knew
right the more it hurts and the more
frequent the contractions are it’s a
sign that it’s coming soon and so
there’s something within us something
that’s worth pushing for something
that’s worth putting the effort
into I feel it on behalf of the Lord
that during these holidays that are
beginning now and that are going to
finish within two
Mondays don’t don’t give in don’t
surrender the Bell hasn’t sounded yet
don’t throw the towel in and the more
frequent the pain is and you say I just
I can’t I can’t put up with it it’s not
because you’re about to give in it’s
because what God promised you is about
to come about David said in
Psalms tears can last the whole all
night but in the morning the shout of
Joy will come now now someone needs to
give a shout of Joy yes or no
Hallelujah
now I know that we would all like to
say what’s going to be the night or how
long how long is it going to take how
long is the labor going to be every time
I have to pray for a pregnant woman I
always say Lord May the labor be like a
sneeze may she say and may the child
come out sometimes it happens sometimes
it doesn’t but the woman at least leaves
happy I don’t tell them what mothers
from before would say oh you’re going to
suffer oh and on top of it all I had
four and they were they all had big
heads and it was a normal breath my mom
would say they opened me up to
here and so first time mothers would
tremble this is the advice that my mom
would give to her daughter-in-laws hey
be careful girl because you won’t walk
for
years later on when the girl would come
around I would tell her no let it be
like a sneeze Let It Be Quick however
you want it to happen quickly you want
the labor to be quick but in terms of
real life sometimes it lasts months I’m
not talking about having a physical baby
but when you have to give birth to a
Divine dream sometimes the
night seems like we’re living in Alaska
or Antarctica where night lasts 6 months
you ask when will the night end and my
question is can Christ be born in a
dysfunctional situation can Christ be
born can something good come from a
Christ whose family is in debt and they
don’t know how they’re going to finish
the year can it be born in a
relationship where communication has
collapsed where the children live in
rebellion and I don’t want to say I have
a revelation but I have the
conviction that the Lord chose Our lives
our homes as they are
surgically just as they are because many
of us live outside of the system Jesus
could have been born in a cathedral in a
synagogue in a basilica in a mansion He
could have been born to a family of
wealthy people he could have been born
with servants maids and assistants he
could have had 10,000 angels to protect
them but he was born without any
Medics
nothing he chose to be born outside of
the system and he tells us I also chose
you not just because I’m the god of of
your Mourns and the birth of your dreams
but also because I’m the god of your
night of your labor of your efforts I’m
the God that holds you up so that you
can push somebody needs to say this word
is mine yes or no I love that yes not
only am I the god of your Victory but
I’m also the god of last night I want
you to say it out loud God is the god of
last
night
it seems like a long phrase but it makes
sense God is the god of last
night not only is God the god of birth
God is also the god of your labor
efforts does life hurt God is there the
contractions hurt God is
there they’re more often more frequent
Rejoice because during the night you
will cry but in the morning the joy will
come the Lord tells me your night is
about to finish does someone believe it
yes or no your night is about to finish
now I don’t know exactly what you’re
going through I don’t
know how many burdens you’re carrying I
know there are people that are very
burdened especially for the
holidays behind the burden of the entire
year you say now don’t tell me that
we’re going to have a party here at the
house and you know that in just a bit
you’re going to have a revolution at
home a mess chaos that’s
nothing if you could share what you have
but some people say
they kiss the credit card and they say
let it be what God wants and you spend
you buy things you say well in January
Christ might come back and I’ll be
safe of all my
debts and then to that we add all jokes
aside you add empty seats around the
table knowing that
you once shared holidays for so many
years with the family but now that
family is broken or someone’s gone
someone passed or we’re left we left
family on the other side of the border
and you say you know not the happiest
moment of my life and I don’t know how
long you’ve been crying
alone I don’t know why you’re suffering
but I what I do know is that the tears
can last the whole night but David said
always always always Joy will come in
the morning the point is knowing when
that birth will happen the point is
knowing when your pain is redeemed women
say that pregnancy and labor or giving
birth
giving birth in the last few months of
the pregnancy if everything was normal
then labor is the only pain that God
made women forget because if a man went
through Labor just
once he wouldn’t be left he wouldn’t be
pregnant ever again not even by judicial
order
right a man who has a little bit of pain
in his tooth never again never again
wants to go to the dentist now a
imagine if us men gave birth just once
you know men not me but the majority of
other
men they
complain they cry over anything now I
can
imagine that if us men had the privilege
of giving birth we would do it just once
everyone would be an only child right
but women forget the pain why because
when the baby is placed in her arms that
redeems any pain the little baby redeems
any
shame any un discomfort any back pain
swollen feet
everything the birth of a baby redeems
all the pain all the labor efforts and
that fascinates me to know that the Lord
decides to come to places that are
outside of the system it fascinates me
that I don’t have to go to a seminar to
get to know him no one has to vote for
me I don’t have to please anyone I can
find Jesus if I’m I’m in a stable in a
Manger that even if the night is long I
can find Jesus in the morning in the
cell I can find him in the Corral with
in the in the pig pen because great
things are always born outside of the
system great missions great businesses
great dreams great ideas great
Ministries great
congregations everything is born outside
the system someone has to be that is my
God isn’t it
marvelous now let me tell you a secret
if we do what God called us to do then
the system will follow us it’ll come and
look for us the system always runs after
creativity and
anointing maybe when we’re no one no one
wants to bless us but once we’re
successful everyone comes and offers us
everything but while we’re pushing in
the manger in the stable while we’re
pushing on a Manger nobody’s going to
bless us except for God when I was
younger I used to
cry
over pastors that didn’t like me or
colleagues that didn’t accept me I don’t
know why because I’m an enchanting
Argentinian but I would cry and I would
become so frustrated because the
Pastoral commissions didn’t support our
events I cried because one day a
pastoral group sent out a communication
in Argentina saying
Dante doesn’t belong to the body of
Christ and the Pastoral committee will
not give him any support obviously God
didn’t care at all he would send the
youth all the same and now after many
years I realized yesterday I realized
that I have to give thanks profoundly
because that all taught me how to trust
in God I learned to trust only in him
because they left me out of the system I
wouldn’t be the boy that believes God
the boy in in an adult body that
believes God if they would have accepted
me into their system I had to be
surrounded by by unbelievers that
believed in the vision that ended up
giving up their hearts to the Lord and
so now I want to give thanks to all the
people that rejected me and said there’s
no place for
you I want to say thanks to all those
that closed doors on
me they made you
grow even the immigration
official oh you can’t come in thank God
he made you
strong or that first pastor told me God
will never use you a beloved German
Pastor not a German Shepherd a German
pastor and another Pastor that said if
one day you open up a church here in
Argentina forget about our friendship
thank you because today I would be in
Argentina I wouldn’t be here with these
marvelous
people being the barn housee of the
world how beautiful when God does things
outside of the system do you believe it
we had a group of intercessors that
always prayed for me until one day they
saw me on TV they saw me on a show one
of them called me and said Dante you’re
ashamed to the gospel we’re not going to
pray for your ministry anymore thank you
sisters I never gave you
thanks I wouldn’t have learned to speak
directly with God I wouldn’t have had
this relationship that I have with the
Lord now I would be depending on you God
has been good with me he learned me to
not depend on prophets or witches on uh
people that uh tell you what you should
do the TV channels that told me that my
program was too mundane thank you I
never would have reached thousands of
unbelievers I would still be fishing in
a swimming pool speaking to
evangelicals they never would have hired
me they never would have paid me I never
would have won an
award I’m giving you an example for all
the things we should give thanks for
this Christmas
those that said no no no no no I’m
leaving Dante because this ministry is
going to collapse at any point thank you
for helping me
avoid having to fire you because now we
travel
lighter God brings greater
blessings how beautiful is the Lord
outside of the systems do you believe it
all the business people that said I’m
going to take away my support thank you
because that made me get to know other
millionaires that sustain the vision
today we have to give thanks to the
Americans because when we didn’t have
this Arena they didn’t want to rent
their churches to us we didn’t have a
building had they done it we wouldn’t
have the arena today we wouldn’t have
purchased this I want to give thanks to
you if it weren’t for you we would be
renting right now our services would be
in the evening in a place that’s not our
own and you surely wouldn’t be coming
here because you’d be preparing the the
meat to eat later all the Beloved
pastors this goes for those that are
watching during the live stream each
week they prohibit their members don’t
watch that don’t watch those messages
don’t follow River because it’s proven
that censorship and what’s prohibited
always produces more curiosity always
when they tell you don’t watch this
video because it can hurt your feelings
what do you do oh that’s how we
are don’t touch that plate it’s hot you
touch it
always we wouldn’t have been able to pay
for so much publicity or people that
edit videos with Mal intent because they
generate traffic they move the algorithm
they make thousands find curiosity in
our messages so thank you for promoting
River thank you for working voluntarily
without having to pay you that’s
fabulous church we have to give thanks
for those that close doors on us those
that left us out of the system we
Rejoice because all of us that are here
have had people people that have said to
us I cannot help you and that made us
strong it made us resilient that made us
trust in
God nowadays no one can say I helped you
or you’re there because of me no I’m
happy that no one can say oh I made
Dante grow or I made River grow no God
makes his dreams be born in a manger or
in a barn so that no one can attribute
credit to themselves except for the cow
that was there no one can take
credit he doesn’t share his glory with
anyone and
so if today you’re alone with without
any help with very frequent contractions
and no resources
than be certain that something great
will be born and before the sun comes up
the Lord will take the glory someone
needs to applaud that and say that is my
God
hallelujah well like I
said today we celebrate the birth of of
a
child who was going to get rid of all of
herod’s
efforts it was that subterraneous
movement that began outside of the
system until that dangerous baby was
able to be born and hide from a monarch
the Bible narrates
that in the time in which Jesus was born
the story turns
180 the next time we hear about
Jesus the the Evangelist starts with the
phrase after Herod
died when Jesus begins his ministry
Herod was already dead in fact chapter 2
in Matthew mentions three times that
Herod was dead Matthew wanted us to know
that Herod the Great that Herod the
almost
Argentinian with all of his riches and
wealth and glory and power with his
crown was no longer the great it was
Herod the Dead
nowadays Herod
Caesar these are the names for pizzerias
casinos or even
dogs
Caesar Herod is not is a good name for a
bulldog
right the
names the name of Jesus lives forever
and it’s recorded for all of
history
Hallelujah now we can’t have the luxury
of forgetting that there in Bethlehem
God came into human space and time and
God who knows no
limits
assumed the confines of the skin the
body of a baby the limitations of
mortality and and the few eyewitnesses
that were present there were a few on
that first Christmas they didn’t realize
any of this I saw a
baby that
was giving good use to his strong lungs
and some would take 30 years to realize
that this was the son of God but the
true tragedy and I say this every year I
insist with it the real tragedy is that
certain
Christians thousands of years later
celebrate the spirit of Christmas by
spending fortunes at the mall forgetting
who we truly commemorating and what’s
worse is that our children believe that
Christmas is all about getting gifts
from a fat man dressed in
red made up in 1932 by
Coca-Cola before
1932 there was no fat man dressed in red
except for your husband and red
underwear but that’s not Santa
Claus the Lord has created a kingdom
outside of this system
and you don’t need money you don’t need
titles no status no talents no
connections no
levers in fact all these things
often tend to get in the way of what God
wants to do with that birth that God
wants to bring to our lives so we can
all be a part of this Kingdom that
operates outside of the world’s rules
outside of political rules outside of
religious rules and he on this very
morning afternoon night whenever you’re
watching he gives us a formal
invitation at the beginning of Jesus’s
Ministry a man named
Nathaniel shows himself to be skeptical
he doesn’t want to
believe in the
affirmations that were being made in
respects to Jesus so he said that famous
phrase from Nazareth can anything good
come from
there many of us have heard this
phrase how can something good come from
Mexico from Argentina nah from El
Salvador remember when they used to say
oh Salvador just creates gang members
and and and Killers Mexico only brings
over drug dealers Argentina only brings
over scammers and corrupt people well
maybe but who
knows but each ethnicity each race each
nationality has its stigma and then we
also have it uh in our families
I’m from a small City in San Martin buos
Sidis a neighborhood named billing Hurst
can something good come from billing
Hurst no from billing Hurst no there’s
no nobble peace prizes no piters no
soccer players in Europe no from billing
hurz back in my day don’t be
offended we would only see famous
delinquents famous criminals we would go
visit them oh you know you’re in the
newspaper right they’re looking for
you so you grow up thinking can
something good come from here and they
said the same thing about Jesus really
the carpenter from
Nazareth nothing good ever came from
Nazareth no great Rabbi no great
speakers you don’t imagine Martin Luther
King being from Nazareth or Mother
Teresa being from
Nazareth or a soccer player at the very
least Messi from
Nazareth Chito maybe but not
Messi and Jesus wasn’t offended by this
and
Phillip who had already been following
Jesus
an invitation to
Nathaniel that same invitation that I’m
going to give to you those that are at
home those that are here the same
invitation he says come and see he
doesn’t give him a theological
explanation he says why don’t you come
and see but can something good come from
outside of the system well come and take
a look another version says come and
you’ll see it with your own
eyes it’s like when we invite people to
come to River Arena we say come and live
The Experience yeah but I want to know
if it’s marketing or branding no no no
no you have to come and see I’m not
going to give you any previews or sneak
peeks you have to come and and see The
Marvelous people the CH the the the
children from the Welcome team the
servers the ushers the aroma the
Excellence and the presence of
God said in a different way try what
Jesus has said do your own experiment
come and see what it means to believe in
him Jesus said to Nathaniel
I assure
you that the he you will see the heavens
open and you will see Angels descend and
Ascend and so this is the invitation
that we’ve extended all year and we’ll
continue to give this invitation until
the Lord takes us back to his presence
try Jesus out come and
see see it with your own eyes it doesn’t
matter if you’re Catholic Methodist
Baptist Lutheran
Presbyterian reformed Anglican Adventist
Pentecostal Jehovah’s Witness Jewish
Muslim Buddhist agnostic
atheist or if you’re
a fiery fan of inter Miami it doesn’t
matter wherever you’ve come from no
matter what you believe the offer is
still available come and see come and
you’ll see it with your own
eyes and while some consider the
challenge of accept in to come and see
in what respects me I say every time the
Lord gives me the Divine Providence of
inviting someone to accept Christ in
their hearts I’m always going to do it
it’s an invitation come and see what
Christ means when he enters our families
Our lives our finances I can’t promise
you a life free of
problems or a walk through the park but
I can promise you that outside of the
system God can bring about great things
in homes destroyed by
bankruptcy by
unfaithfulness places that
are that have succumbed to illness and
disease and cancer and Leukemia the Lord
can bring something from all that bring
something good God is still good even
when the circumstances are not of course
and so here and at home we’re going to
do something that we don’t do it as
formally as we’re doing it today but
today I would like to ask it of you so
that you can unite at home because there
are many relatives that are joining you
they might be asking are you asking me
to change my religion no just come and
see get to know the Lord let him enter
your heart and to do that we’re just a
prayer away I would love for you hearer
and at home to repeat after me and say
Lord
Jesus Come into my heart forgive my
sins you can be
born in my heart in my home
I’m outside of the system but I know
that you’ll do a
miracle now I want to pray for those
that have a dream lift up your hand to
heaven and say Lord I have a dream that
I’ve placed before your presence it’s
been many years some did it months ago
and the Lord tells me to tell you that
that
dream sometimes makes you go through
Seasons that are difficult or
uncomfortable like a mother who’s in her
eighth month or the ninth month of her
pregnancy after weeks and weeks of not
being able to rest I know your back
hurts I know that the burdens you’re
carrying are folding you my son my
daughter but the Lord tells me to tell
you I’m going to begin to I’m going to
begin to do something in these days and
when he says something he he means that
the contractions are going to begin to
happen more
frequently and that pain or apparent
pain will will be redeemed says the Lord
when I bring about within you what I’ve
placed in you but there are people
saying I don’t know if you can do
something in me can something good come
from Nazareth yes God can do something
good if God placed eternity and what was
a Coos and manure back then how can he
not do it today with us lift up your
hands and say Lord I receive this word I
receive this word on your behalf thank
you Lord for this time
thank you for your presence thank you
because you’re speaking to us I would
love to pray for everyone now keep your
hand up high Lord I’ve spoken I’ve
transmitted to your people what I
believe you told me to tell them and I
know that there are things dreams
visions that are being born and those
dreams will crystallize and they will
begin to happen and I know I know that
you’re going to give the Revelation to
each one each one of them that they’re
going to have to go through a season of
pushing pushing strong stronger and
stronger pressure because it’s coming
soon the Lord says begin to transition
in your life and that transition that
channel that birth canal will bring
something
new things that you haven’t seen things
that your ears haven’t heard nor have
risen to your heart these are things
that I’ve prepared for you I would love
for all of you to pray with me at
home wherever you’re listening from here
at River Arena something is happening
and it’s being let out I believe that
there is a new birth in in businesses
companies
marriages God is bringing something from
outside of the system something that no
one sees coming a Revival that no one
sees coming a movement of the spirit and
it’ll be from the most Unthinkable
places it won’t be from congregations
it’ll be from closets it won’t be from
public places it’ll be from private
places and God will lift up people that
are not so that they can be and he will
lift up children to put adults to to
shame and those that we consider
ignorant and uous he will use to put the
shame put the wise to shame he says this
is my time where I’m going to bless and
lift you up and I’m going to sustain you
now take some time to give thanks as I
just did in your heart you don’t have to
say it out
loud but give thanks to all those that
have closed doors on you those that have
told you no those that denied your
papers those that denied your legality
say Lord with without any bitterness
without any irony I truly give you
thanks because they made me grow give
thanks for everything your parents
didn’t give you give thanks for those
Christmas trees if there even were any
that were empty give thanks for those
days where you only had one meal a day
the days where you had to reheat food so
that your children children wouldn’t go
hungry say Lord that made me an adult
with a high level a high threshold
against frustration give thanks for the
times you’ve been through when someone
broke your heart when someone didn’t
give you the support that you needed
because that threw you to the feet of
the Cross because that made you seek the
Lord everyone everyone say Lord I give
you thanks for the days in which I was a
child when I was an adolescent when
someone abused me when someone tried to
ruin my life because that made me cling
on to you even more I truly give thanks
to all the critics because they’ve made
River popular
they’ve made many people want to know
what it’s about and I give thanks to all
those that have opposed us because God
has always made a birth happen outside
of the system father thank you for this
morning thank you for so much blessing I
give you thanks I exalt you I praise you
thank you
Lord that on this Christmas may this be
the beginning of a new season thank you
for what you’ve given us thank you for
so much Glory thank you for the Open
Heavens we bless you amen and amen two
