ENGLISH Dante Gebel #867 | Men on the brink of extinction
Today we are facing a generation of men with unstable spirits, in which emotional fragility stands out; a group of men who “complain about everything, cry about everything and fight about nothing”. However, our God is a warrior, strong and fearsome in battle, and he personally leads his own armies. Life will provide us with a thousand opportunities to train our character as men and we must not shy away from that. Battles are not won by sweeping conflict under the rug. Let’s set passivity aside and remember that we are made in the image of God. Let’s reclaim masculinity once and for all within our ranks!
[Music]
each country are presented here with all
these flags Ecuador Bolivia Mexico
Ecuador you have to help me please with
the signs because I can’t learn all the
flags but God bless all of you welcome
home the King is in the house don’t stop
that Applause we receive the people from
Europe Asia Africa Australia all of
America on this very special day good
morning good afternoon good
night people all over the world we’re
happy we’re joyous thank you for
connecting with us we’ve been here for
what about 50 minutes now here at home
locally worshiping singing celebrating
but now is the moment in which we
connect with that marvelous virtual
church that watches from the other side
they’re always there at home in the
living rooms those thousands literally
thousands of devices that connect live
to be a part of our church if only we
could see you imagine how many stadiums
we would fill throughout the week it
goes beyond a million devices but right
now live through Facebook and YouTube we
might have 40 50 60,000 people sorry
devices there might be a whole family
behind each screen so I can imagine that
it’s many many stadiums so we send an
enormous greeting to you and it fills us
with a great responsibility but this is
the church that the Lord has brought
today those that are here and those that
are on the other side may God bless you
may he protect you thank you for
connecting with us I’m going to transmit
in just a few minutes what I believe God
told me to tell you but
before we just came back from the Holy
Land we just came back from the Republic
of
Argentina and it was truly marvelous
everything that we were able to live
this tour that has seen 40 different
cities all over the world it started in
Argentina and Buenos Idis more than a
year and a half ago with two events at
the Luna Park Stadium then we went to
the rest of the world but this time we
went back to
Argentina this month we still have to go
to monter
walara Peru
Chile but this is what happened at the
movie star Arena in Buenos
cidis where the people came from very
early
on and there was no public transport on
that
day for a a an issue that doesn’t
correspond to us but we thought that the
people’s arrival would become
complicated because many people take
public
transport however
despite the inclement weather as
well the stadium was filled by a
multitude it was Mar marvelous more than
10,000 people came out to this Stadium
it’s incredible it’s the movie star
Arena everyone was there and among those
that were present many politicians many
artists I’m not trying to say that the
rest aren’t important but look we also
had so famous soccer
players it surprises me that the message
was able to reach everyone with without
distinction without distinction of
religions credos no political divides
everyone was there those that are
right-wing or leftwing in political
terms actors actresses and then
people from all walks of life models all
professions I think that people from all
social levels came they were expectant
listening to a message that lasted 2
hours and 20 minutes
no
music nothing more than just the
rhetoric the conference
itself like I say each
weekend I play with the idea of what
would we do if we were president of a
country in my case my
nation so we go through the different
stages of life and I would say I ask all
the the listeners to remember their
Origins to Value
time to face their old age with with
with dignity to face the imminent death
and that’s what we spoke about in the
end my message directs all the people to
Jesus Christ to have an encounter with
him in the end but it’s marvelous
because they laugh for almost two hours
they also cry for two hours it’s a
mixture of
emotions and it’s
fascinating to see how their hearts
begin to open up the barriers come down
I had many meetings in Argentina with
politicians with business people with
artists and they all said the same thing
they had a lot of prejudices they
thought that it was a religious matter
because I’m a pastor and so they thought
that there was a hidden agenda but they
realized that no especially in my
country every time I
go everything that we collect for the
events is is donated but it’s always a
surprise for that night we never say buy
the tickets because they’ll be donated
no it’s always a surprise there are
those that say well why is it a business
why do you take the money but that night
we surprise them that we donate to
nonprofit
organizations so I give thanks to these
two foundations everything we collected
in the in that night was donated to two
institutions the Mother Teresa School
that takes children out of poverty they
have almost a thousand
students and then also the house of
culture on the
streets it helps addicted youth
to get out of that vicious
cycle Julian Welch the one speaking with
the
microphone is the Godfather of of the
Mother Teresa home and on the person on
the other side is Gaston Pauls the actor
who also acted as R Pala in a
biopic they’re two great actors two
great TV hosts but in Gaston’s case he’s
the founder of the House of street
co and they both received that donation
of everything that was collected in
Buenos itis if anybody thought that I
needed to go seek money in my country no
on the contrary it was to go and
contribute something to be able to help
in this way especially those that always
criticized by saying well why do you
charge and in donating all the costs
everything we have to pay for we have to
pay our on our own I’m not trying to
boast about this because then there’s
another criticism don’t let your left
hand know what your right hand is doing
but the point is for people to realize
that there are places we choose
intentionally to sew in and since an
image is worth more than a thousand
words here’s a short video I think it
lasts about a minute of what happened in
Argentina after this remember we’re
going to montere waha and Peru and then
also Chile Bolivia as well and then
Paraguay that’s what’s left before we go
to Spain this is what happened in
Argentina
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
watch now
for for
[Music]
[Music]
oh agreeing to all of
Argentina they always receive us so well
and the reports are always great they
made me feel very comfortable and it’s
beautiful to have a place to be able to
go back
to you never forget your roots in fact
in the conference I say you can forget
about where you
are in one way or another we become
citizens of the world those of us that
travel often sometimes it’s going to
sound glamorous what I’m about to say
but there’s no glamour in it it’s a
whole lot of stress waking up one
morning and not knowing what country
you’re in if you’re changing your hotel
continually I’ve had four or five events
Alto together and I wake up in the
morning and I ask Where’s the restroom
good thing I don’t go to the balcony to
go to the restroom but sometimes you
don’t even know what hotel you’re in
what city what country but when I’m in
those places they put a sign or they so
that I don’t mess up so I don’t go to
waha and say good morning
mon so they say remember we’re in this
place we’re in this city but when you
become a citizen of the world in this
way barriers become gray they disappear
and when you go back to your country you
remember your Ruth you say this is where
I’m from from this neighborhood from
this place and so that’s always
marvelous especially in an Argentina
that I love so much like it happens with
all of you with your Mexico Salvador
Dominican Republic Columbia wherever it
is God brought you from we love our
countries so thank you my my brothers
for receiving us a strong Embrace I’ll
see you soon it was marvelous very well
are we ready stay with me I’m
ready among some of the particularities
that we have here at River
Arena one is the enormous amount of men
that Cong
here and it’s not something regular for
many many
years the church in
general the majority of the church was
composed by
women why well it happens in Catholicism
it happens within the Protestant
church where generally speaking there
are more there are more men in the
Jewish tradition or in the synagogues
but in Christianity the majority of the
church has always been women
but the singularity in our case is that
we have a great attendance from both
sexes I would say maybe half half and
half
5050 of men and
women I haven’t done an exhaustive
investigation as to what the reasons are
of this local phenomenon but I believe
that that was the Lord’s will how he
wanted it and today’s sermon even though
it seems like it’s exclusively directed
to men it profoundly affects women and I
might even say the family in general
when you speak to women by transitive
character it inherently affects their
children when you speak to men it
affects the whole family it affects the
women they the children daughters Sons
so first of
all we have to be very honest with
ourselves no matter the sex we have to
be open to receive this
word us men have grown
up in a
patriarchy I don’t want to say a
retrograde Society but it was
patriarchal where we’ve been
indoctrinated from a young age
especially those that come from my
generation that a wound is something
that should be
hidden someone here like myself must
have heard from their fathers men don’t
cry suck it up because showing a wound
as a man is an enormous Fountain of
Shame when I say wound I can mean a
physical wound or a broken heart or a
broken or amputated soul and for that
reason sometimes us men don’t want to
admit that there are things that we have
to heal that we should heal and allow
God to
intervene in that sense women are more
open to heal
so I immediately
identify there are always rules to or
exceptions to the rule but the faminine
gender seeks out the pathology quicker
to find the therapy but not us men
that’s why when us men go to the
hospital we don’t go by our own will
we’re taking in an ambulance right and
we say I’m healthy I’m doing just fine
but
women if any
anomaly comes up they go and have a a
consultation but men are more resistant
to that and I think as far as wounds we
have to be more open King David had no
problems in recognizing in Psalm
109 for I am poor and needy and my heart
is wounded within me he was the king the
Monarch the head of state the
commanderin-chief of the Armed Forces of
Israel
however he didn’t hesitate in saying I’m
wounded
his writings
are open
Confessions of a man that needed to be
healed he needed God to intervene in his
heart and today my task is to remind you
here in the local church as well as
those that are watching from all over
around the globe I have to remind you
that
God is Faithfully committed in the
restoration of the masculine heart and
if we allow that to happen then I insist
women will also benefit and be blessed
when a man
heals women are also
blessed not just in that immediate
environment but the gender in general a
wound that is hidden away a wound that
is that is that is
covered is a wound that can’t be
healed in spiritual life it always
begins with the
acceptance of our wounded
self recognizing our wounds because
whatever is denied can’t be healed
remember the phrase there’s no worse
blind man than the one that doesn’t want
to see well the person that says I don’t
need anything I’m fine you can’t heal
them because not until they recognize
that there’s a pathology within them
there won’t be a therapy and by
consequence there won’t be a healing
with that being
said let me go Ahad and transmit what I
believe God told me to tell you what I
believe he’s placed in my heart
there’s a certain type of modern
Amnesia a generalized forgetfulness ands
to one of the most important qualities
about God that is hardly ever
mentioned one of the most important
qualities of God in the Old and New
Testament in the old pact and the new is
that God is a
warrior Exodus 153 says the Lord is a
warrior the Lord is his name God is a
warrior he’s a man a a being of
War Isaiah 4213 says the Lord will March
out how Like A Champion Like a Warrior
he will stir up his Zeal with a shout he
will raise the battlecry and will
triumph over his
enemies it seems like a description of a
character played by Mel Gibson or
Sylvester Stallone but it’s speaking
about God who wakes up
with the
battlecry Jeremiah 2011 says but the
Lord is with me like a mighty warrior so
my persecutors will stumble and not
Prevail they will fail and be thoroughly
disgraced isn’t it marvelous yes or no
because he’s there like a powerful
Warrior he’s not described as an old
scile
man he’s not described as a grandpa who
seats his grandchildren At His Feet no
he’s described as a powerful Warrior
Psalm 24:7 says lift up your heads you
Gates be lifted up you ancient doors
it’s saying this door is too small for
the one that is to come through Elevate
yourselves lift up your ancient doors
because the king of glory is going to
enter in Rome when we go to Rome there’s
a
particularity that all the doors even in
the coliseums that survive today or the
ruins of those coliseums the ruins of
the old world the ancient world they
have very very small
doors literally any Westerner that goes
there has to has to hunch down because
the Romans were
short so to not feel
inferior so that their self-esteem
wasn’t damaged the doors were very very
small so that they wouldn’t feel so bad
because if they went through big
doors they would feel like our
Gutierrez they would feel like
doors that’s where lift up your
doors that’s where it comes
from who is this king of glory this
Brave Warrior who is the king of glory
the lord strong and mighty how
beautiful so our God is a warrior strong
and feared in
battle and he guides his own Warriors
his own soldiers his Infantry
it’s not that he used to be and now this
is just poetic license from the prophets
no he still is he was in a Warrior when
he was young but now in 2024 he’s an old
retired man living in Florida that
proclaims a hippie love because he’s too
old to
fight no God isn’t
Biden he’s not
Trump he’s not any of the leaders around
the world where we say well he’s an old
man no God is isn’t an old man he’s big
and great but he’s not an old being
someone you might say oh well he used to
be a young man no God is the warrior
that made Man In His
Image and one
particularity that we find in
scripture is when the Lord’s Spirit
comes over a man specifically a male it
doesn’t effeminate him it doesn’t
domesticate him it doesn’t make him into
a timid man or a peaceful religious
person someone that’s withdrawn or
prudish much less into an effeminate
it’s not that suddenly oh now because I
have the Peace of the Lord I’m like a
white dove no that’s not what
happens when the Holy Spirit comes upon
a man like in the case of
Samson judges
15 14 says the spirit of the Lord came
powerfully upon him he was about to die
Samson trapped by his enemies and it
says the spirit of the Lord came
powerfully upon
him what happened he didn’t necessarily
speak in tongues nor did he Shake nor
did he fall onto the floor like a wet
noodle no the ropes on his arms became
like charred
flxs and the bindings dropped from his
hands and finding a fresh Jawbone of a
donkey because he didn’t have a weapon
it was still fresh he grabbed it and
struck down a thousand men with a
Jawbone of a
donkey imagine what he could have done
with a sword with a
weapon of course I once wrote a joke
when I when I was more of a comic of
someone that goes and says Pastor I’ve
seen Samson kill a thousand Philistines
with the Donkey Jaw so I have hopes that
God can use me and the pastor says I
have no doubt if God was able to use Sam
with a with a donkey imagine what he can
do with a whole
Donkey now this about Samson breaking
the ropes it’s taught in all the Sunday
schools our children hear these this
story as well as David and Goliath and
and Noah’s
Ark but I’ve never heard a teacher say
and what happened with Samson children
is what happens when God’s spirit comes
over a
man no because we think that
nowadays the way a man is Anointed has
changed when the Holy Spirit comes over
a man he speaks in tongues he shakes a
little bit he’s a little bit bad but
Samson as soon as he’s filled with the
spirit of God he becomes a great warrior
a feared Warrior when God’s spirit falls
upon him it’s like spinach for popey for
those that have a good memory or Hulk or
when David Banner becomes the Incredible
Hulk suddenly a superpower takes over
him possesses him and he becomes
that undefeated Warrior when you see
Samson’s life before that he’s not much
more than a fool he does foolish things
he has no character but when the Holy
Spirit comes upon him his last great Act
of war is heroic and it didn’t just
happen with Samson judges 310 says the
Spirit of the Lord came on othneil so
that he became Israel’s judge and went
to war he went to war because he was
filled by the spirit judges 634 says
then the spirit of the Lord came on
Gideon it possessed him I love that
because we think that possession is just
for the enemy that woman is possessed my
mother-in-law is
possessed poor devil what does he have
to do with the
mother-in-laws she had already come
possessed
but we always think that possession has
to do with demonic things but the word
is used often possessed Gideon was
possessed by the spirit of the
Lord and he went out to
war possessed by God in movies we’ve
seen what happens when someone is
possessed by a
demon what do you think it’s like to be
possessed by the Lord by the spirit of
the
lord well the Bible gives us hint he
went out toward
War he was left in a trance meditating
in tibbet he went out to war judges
11:29 then the spirit of the Lord came
on
jeffa and he went out to war the man
changes but it’s the same spirit and
Samuel 1613
says and from that day on the spirit of
the Lord Came powerfully Upon
David it’s a bravery courage it’s
intrinsic to the Holy Spirit inherent of
his
fillment so our image of
Jesus it’s as if has it’s as if it has
deterior deteriorated because of our
culture and what we’ve been sold in film
or figures we’ve seen in an image and
very few of us relate Jesus with a
warrior in fact I’ve even seen
people that have a tough time trying to
justify the day when Jesus acted like a
man he was fed up and in an act of
aggression premeditated
aggression he took the time to make a
whip with ropes and he used it against
the merchants that occupied the atriums
of the temple we forget that he stopped
to make a
whip I wasn’t so afraid of my father
because he erupted from Zer to 100
quickly
and you would
escape and like the majority of men 5
minutes later he forgot would fed him up
but Mom she was cold and
calculated and she began like this I
would ask what are you doing and she
would say I’m fixing my
slipper and with a coldness that I’ve
only seen in
Putin she would go like this and she
would throw that
slipper had
sensors that would follow you to
wherever you escaped
to that was a premeditated violence
while the Lord says that he made himself
a
whip it’s not that he couldn’t manage
his emotions in that moment and he had
to repent or he regretted it it wasn’t a
sudden mood swing no it was a facet of
the Son of God he was because he wanted
to be there and he this is part of
scripture because he wants us to know
that he was like that we say no Jesus
wouldn’t act that way he would speak to
them with love merchants of the temple
would you be so gracious as to
leave you don’t expect that type of
conduct of throwing out the the
merchants with a
whip but we misinterpret what it means
to be meek and humble our God is a
warrior because they there are certain
things in life that we have to fight for
that you have to battle for there’s no
other
option we inherited the character of the
father children that become musicians or
doctors it’s because maybe their father
loved music or or or or the child
studies whatever the father
studies our children inherit much more
than just
genes and so by transitive character we
inherit
that Spirit of being a warrior of
fighting of standing on two firm feet
with our
convictions that’s when we begin to
understand God’s heart that’s when we
begin to understand it a little bit
more we should fight for the institution
of family which degrades day by day
because of this modern world we live in
we should fight for our children whether
they’re ours or not fight for them
in an interview that I had in
Argentina somebody was saying to
me you have to give children the choice
the the ability to choose and I said you
have to give human beings the ability to
choose of course God gave us free will
but not when we’re underage while
they’re still our
responsibility when children still don’t
know what they want how they want
it our
children can eat can E before dinner if
there are no rules we can’t say well I
let my child eat whatever they want I
want to raise a free being no you have
to educate them it’s called
education and when you tell them to
choose their own sex when they’re seven
or eight years old and we call them they
them because for
us genitalia now in in this postmodern
Society Society doesn’t mean anything
anymore we’re
not just not educating them but we’re
indoctrinating them into something that
they’re not capable to choose from so
you have to fight for those
rights whether they’re in the Bible or
not they’re morals they’re
ethics we have to fight for our friends
for our friendships we have to fight for
our
friendships even if our friend makes a
mistake I always say that I have few
friends but I’m a very good friend to my
friends and I would go visit them in
prison and I wouldn’t ask them why
they’re there I don’t question them
sometimes I say I can’t believe your
friends with this guy no I’m a friend of
my friends no matter what they do with
their lives whether I agree with it or
not I can’t look for perfect friends why
because I can’t offer
Perfection it makes me laugh when people
say I’m looking for a perfect Church
well what are you going to offer to that
perfect Church most likely you’re going
to ruin it as soon as you arrive
so be patient with me because I’m a
little tired and I have no
filter doctors fight for their patients
lives teachers fight for the hearts and
the future of of their
students so let’s think about it
anything that’s good or beautiful that’s
worth anything in this life we’re going
to
realize that you can’t protect that
thing if we don’t fight battle over it
you don’t good things don’t protect
themselves we live in a
time with very fragile men this isn’t
new the good thing is that a woman isn’t
preaching to you but a a colleague and I
recognize
it we want to lose weight by eating junk
food new cars new homes without thinking
about the
debts there are employees that when you
ask them for an extra hour or an extra
mile they start to complain about the
pressure coming from
above there are many men with low
self-esteem and low tolerance to
criticism rejection and frustration
there’s a whole
generation currently something we’ve
never seen before with an unstable mood
it even happens with ministers it
surprises me to see the amount of
ministers that abandon their pulpits
because they need to take a sabatical
because of the extreme stress or because
they’ve become depressed and I say what
about the people what’s left for them
what’s left for those that are
navigating on that boat can a man of God
become depressed yeah of
course the person doesn’t respect
respect anyone’s spiritual stature but
what about saying oh I woke up sad I’m
perceiving myself as depressed today no
leaders are made of that despite the
problems and the sadness you have to
continue with your assignment so there
are people that are prepared for success
for Triumph for empowerment but when
things start to go bad
when people face an imponderable or
they’re
criticized an a disproportionate
intolerance breaks out within
them that it said that it’s a group of
men that complains about everything
cries about everything but doesn’t fight
for
anything and our children the majority
of our children fall under this umbrella
as well I can’t generalize but the
majority of them specialized sociologist
just confirmed that we’re on our
way to Crystal men Crystal manhood or
the extinction of the male
gender our children become depressed
because their teachers rais their voices
at them or they want to bring a lawsuit
to anyone that speaks against them you
can’t even speak to them in a tone
that’s higher than the norm because
immediately they feel abused so family
Authority
institutional Authority produces
rejection frustration they don’t like to
receive
orders they need constant recognition
they have very little tolerance to
rejection and if you go out and live
life with a low tolerance to rejection
then we’re messed up because in life
they’re going to reject this in many
ways many areas many
places the psychological concept used to
describe children that develop
physically whether they’re
underfed it’s called dwarf
depravity Pigg me
depravity to be depraved is
to detour the natural use well there are
thousands or millions of men that are
dwarves in their personalities and their
emotions due to the fact that they
didn’t mature due to the fact that they
have a retardation in their maturity and
someone that doesn’t mature is always
blaming others if their marriage fails
it’s because of the crazy wife they were
dealt if they abandoned their kids it’s
because it was the pressure that didn’t
let them breathe and they had to leave
to go seek New Horizons if they’re fired
from their jobs it’s because the manager
didn’t understand him and so the problem
is always out there in others they hurt
me they betrayed me I wasn’t pastored
it’s sad to hear a man saying I wasn’t
given love
really I was discouraged they didn’t
call me back women don’t laugh too much
because next week I’m going to talk to
you you’re all saying oh yeah hold on
it’s coming for you
too there’s a lot coming for you
too no but there are men that live
irritated
sensible and Matthew 11:12 conf
firms from the days of John the Baptist
until now the Kingdom of Heaven has been
subjected to violence and violent people
have been raiding
it who raids it the
violent it doesn’t say oh they suffer
violence but but hang in there no the
violent raid the
kingdom it doesn’t speak about the fact
that the kingdom is given to people made
of butter no we’re in a war we’re in a
battle which is called life and this
battle makes you dirty it has collateral
effects there are people that end up
wounded and many times people die in war
the kingdom of heaven isn’t made for men
that wear diapers and disappear when
things get
ugly there’s a a
biopic called Cinderella Man based on a
on the story of of James radic and it
shows that when he fought when he boxed
he would defeat
opponents that were much bigger than him
every time he would go into the boxing
ring he had the fire of a warrior but it
wasn’t Rocky bboa a fictitious character
no he was a real boxer so at a news
conference they asked him what motivates
you to fight like a lying in this way
and he answered
milk he fought for the survival of his
family so that they would
never not have milk in the fridge this
was during the Great depression and he
saw how his children cried because of
the pain in their stomachs since they
didn’t have anything to eat and he said
I’m never going to allow them to not
have milk sometimes to awaken the
warrior in a
man God allows the battle to hit close
to home because there are two paths
there when they when they beat your home
the easy route for you to pray and ask
God to provide milk or those that go out
and fight for that milk those that say I
have no other choice
I got to put on my pants and go
out suck it up and battle one of the
saddest stories in the story of Israel
is produced when they find themselves at
the brink of a completely new life they
arrive at the promised land they’re
right outside it just as God had
promised God isn’t a makavelic being
that TI them out to the desert to go in
circles for 40 years for no
reason they made it in the stipulated
time they made it to the Border maybe 3
months and in
Deuteronomy 126 God says but you were
unwilling to go up you
rebelled against the command of the Lord
your God he didn’t make it easy for them
he didn’t say oh you want it the easy
way let me go and kill all your enemies
right now with the heart attack no they
they were unwilling to
fight and you ask well why did God send
them to fight because that’s what he
does he’s a warrior he’s Brave he’s
powerful he’s courageous fight my son
fight they were unwilling to fight and
they rebelled against the command of
their
God you grumbled in your tents and
said you grumbled like gossipers I added
that in
but you grumbled in your tents and said
the Lord hates us so he brought us out
of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of
the amorites to destroy us It produced
so much pain in the Lord’s heart seeing
them gossip saying oh no over there we
ate onions and we ate
olives and I
said do not be terrified do not be
afraid of them the Lord your God who is
going before
you but they did not trust in the Lord
your
God so you will not see the land that I
promised you so that the decision to not
fight made them wander through the
desert for 40
years and all those people died in the
desert and they were not able to step
into the promised land because of their
disbelief I’ve heard hundreds of
messages saying the desert is
inevitable God will always send you to
the desert he allows it to process you
we misinterpret what happened
people the desert is something that you
can
avoid the reason they were delayed by 40
years through the desert is because they
didn’t want to fight in other words the
desert was the consequence of being
unwilling to fight and denying God and
is called to fight if we speak in the
terms of the desert that Israel was
in there’s also the desert that Jesus
goes
into to fast and have spiritual warfare
it’s not that God keeps people in the
desert people keep God in the desert and
I believe that even
nowadays in place of believing a warrior
God we prefer to lift up the white flag
and surrender because that’s what we
think it means to be Christian we assume
or we believe that while we sleep God is
the one who’s going to resist the devil
that’s a dangerous thought it’s
anti-biblical to expect God to resolve
our lives and put training wheels on our
bicycle a father that truly loves his
children doesn’t take them to the
restroom unless they have have a
disability he doesn’t bathe them until
they’re 18 years old he doesn’t take the
breakfast until they’re 40 and if
somebody does it well then that’s why
your child is like
that James 4:7
confirms so submit yourselves then to
God obey his orders resist the devil and
he will flee from you resist the
devil so we live in a in a world where
there’s spiritual warfare but current
modern Christianity always empowers us
to buy the newest car they tell us
you’re going to be an owner you’re going
to stop
renting amongst other or in parenthesis
as if renting placed us in a lower
category of humanity they tell us that
if
we cry out and and and declare it the
the souls will come to us but I’ve have
never heard or few times I’ve heard
people say go out and fight and when I
say fight I don’t mean go fight against
the first Asian that cuts you off no I’m
talking about fighting for the things
that are worth your
while if not we end up in a passivity
disguised as Words of War but in reality
God sees us like ships
sinking like the board game Battleship
we already
put four Flyers around the city we
already prayed for 10 minutes yeah
continue playing but that’s not fighting
we already cried out on the Altar and we
declared it because our words have power
but no that’s just faith and faith I can
sit down on a gas tank and it won’t take
me
anywhere that’s what faith and faith is
in the name of Jesus in the name of
Jesus but that gas tank won’t take you
anywhere Gas Works when it’s placed by
faith into a vehicle so Us Men We
tend to suffer from that passivity that
obviously has broken the heart of many
women and many
children many men we like to have
emotional or spiritual sectors of Our
Lives that are
passive sectors of surrender I call them
demilitarized zones where we don’t want
war and it’s fine I’m not saying it’s
wrong but we have many places where we
say I won’t bother you you don’t bother
me my dad was like this my dad said
I go out to work every day to bring food
to the table so when I come home you
can’t bring any problems to me obviously
I never went up to him to say that they
bullied me at school I never bothered
him with matters of of my Identity or
what how I felt shame in being poor I
could never speak to him because Dad was
busy doing bigger things but he didn’t
work at the Pentagon he was a carpenter
but we couldn’t bother dad ever and that
doesn’t just happen at home but also
with the church with work with friends
with
God it saddens me to
think and all the things that my dad
gave up throughout his
years and he waited for things to be
fixed magically he would say this will
fix
itself but God takes for granted that
men should act they have to intervene
they have to be intentional why because
I insist he created us in His image
in his
likeness and passivity has no
place in genuine
masculinity the worst insult for a man
is to be passive and when I speak about
masculinity I’m not talking about the
genitalia that makes us men because dogs
also have that genitalia but that
doesn’t make them men we can be born
male but you become a true man only by
choice because the majority of men Us
Men We like
action sometimes we don’t want to live
through it we just want to see
it a man sees an accident on the road
they say wait wait let me see whoa look
at that they like to see
action we watch a show on TV that’s
showing healthy food while we eat your
pepperoni pizza we say yeah we should
start eating
healthy we watch 22 players running
behind the ball while we have a beer in
our hands with chips in the other hand
we we shout to them where they should
run to run the other way run the other
way the poor guys are running on there
like fools and the game ends and what do
we say ah what a shame how could they
play that way learn to
play ah give me the remote control I
don’t want to get up from my
couch but the players have to learn how
to run it’s incredible right
why because we have a gene for action
but while it’s dormant we just want to
watch it we’re just pornographers of
action how we want to see how others run
but women need drama betrayal
romance suspense and the happy ending at
67
Central there’s a novel of
452
chapters us men need a movie where
it’s in somebody grabs a pistol and
kills 700 ninjas Japanese Indian African
ninja whatever it is it doesn’t matter
if there’s no script if there’s no no
plot we want the plane to crash the city
to explode the aliens to attack we want
the zombies King Kong or Godzilla to
attack we need something to attack
right why because we were created by God
and we
found courage in the boxer
that that fought another
round something tells us that’s where
you that’s where you come from when we
see a player that scores in the last
minute and turns a result on its head
then that lion or that tiger comes out
from within why because
that is our is our
image when the when the movie ends when
the game ends instead of going out to
fight for our children’s honor we give
them a tablet so that they can lock
themselves in their room and not bother
us
instead of being
passionate instead of being passionate
and seeking God we become passionate and
having Netflix marathons so passivity is
the first sin that we inherited from
Adam passivity comes from
Eden I’m convinced that Man’s first sin
wasn’t eating the fruit but rather his
passivity we always ask what was Adam
doing why didn’t Eve make AA instead of
eating that
fruit all she needed to do was make some
tortillas but she took the fruit so what
was Adam doing while eve took the
forbidden fruit well according to
Genesis 36 he was there with
her because it says that she took the
fruit and gave it to Adam if not it
would have said she went and looked for
him throughout the
whole garden and found him with the
giraffe no no no he was next to her
and whatam Adam say he didn’t say
anything he didn’t do anything he didn’t
comment
anything he saw what tree she had gotten
it from and from then on out we’re going
to see many men that allow themselves to
not say anything to not bring discomfort
to not
act in first
Samuel scripture gives us an unfortunate
image of what passiveness and and its
consequences are the priest Eli served
the Lord in the in the Tabernacle and he
was a priest for all the people in
Israel he had a religious posture if you
may vicarious but he also had political
status he had two
children ofne and
Phineas who were also
priests but they were also scammers they
were
Rascals they stole the people’s
offerings and with that money they would
organized orgies inside of the
temple when their father found out what
they were doing he tells
them young man why do you do such things
I hear from all the people about these
Wicked Deeds of yours no my sons the
report I hear spreading among the Lord’s
people is not good that’s all he
did he gave them a speech he said hey
careful with the people’s
comments if you read the episode again
it chills your blood because he’s saying
if you’re going to do it at least be
discreet about
it or in the temple and you steal the
offering I don’t like what I’m hearing
about you guys take care of yourselves
it’s not good for the people to to
spread this a father that saying do it
but do it in behind closed doors don’t
let them see you he didn’t do anything
to stop them but he was the judge for
the people he should have sentenced them
he should have acted
if you have a friend that’s a judge and
you tell him that you committed a crime
even if he’s your friend because of his
profession he has to condemn you same
thing if you have a friend that’s a
police officer if you tell them
that that you killed somebody and they
don’t tell anyone and they find and then
later on it’s found out that they knew
and didn’t say anything then they’re
also
arrested he should have acted and though
he was a priest in the temple he didn’t
remove them from their
possessions to at least maintain their
credibility in their priesthood but he
chose the easier route to be passive he
spoke he thought like many men think
nowadays I knew that they were having
problems but I just don’t want to have
problems with them their adolescence
what can I ask
them yeah but you know they can be doing
things wrong yeah but you know what he’s
a guy I was worse than him when I was
younger and I don’t want to have
problems with my wife no
no the less friction the better I have
enough problems outside of the home
already I just want to go home and and
and be calm and take a na that’s
Eli and in 1st Samuel 2:29 God asks him
why do you honor your sons more than
me wow
ouch why do you honor your sons more
than me God asks
Eli God speaks to us about a job
in which they’re asking us to comp uh
compromise our
integrity and we don’t do anything and
God asks us why do you honor your
employment your job more than me and you
say God but who’s going to pay the
bills but he asks you the direct
question why do you honor your job more
than me you know that they’re asking you
to lie for
example he brings us conviction about
certain lust that we don’t do anything
about because we decide to honor our
desire is more than honoring
God he brings us a conviction of being
more generous we should start to give
one day he asks why do you honor your
money more than you honor me why do you
honor your savings more than me he
brings us conviction of being a
spiritual leader in our homes but as
soon as we can we miss out on church or
we tell our children that today we’re
not going because today there’s a game
that we can’t miss is it a sin no but
the question will come why do you honor
your free time more than
God so that passive character always
reveals that we’ve chosen something or
someone above God that’s what passivity
is it’s not I’m a a pacifist that’s
something
else that’s being a timid man
pusillanimous but even in Eli’s
Disobedience God sends
leaders to warn him about the
consequences that are to come
and in 1 Samuel 3:11 God says about Eli
see that time I will carry out against
Eli everything I spoke against his
family from beginning to
end his son’s blasphemed God and he
failed to restrain them therefore God
says I swore to the house of Eli the
guilt of Eli’s house will never be
atoned for by sacrifice or
offering until this third and fourth
generation that’s when Eli should have
acted he should have faced god with
repentance asking for Mercy but he
answered the way the most men answer
nowadays Eli said he is the Lord let him
do what is good in his eyes sounds
spiritual right like men that say I
depend on God’s will Hallelujah it
sounds spiritual right sounds like
someone that’s submissive to God’s will
but he’s not being submissive he’s being
passive he should have gone to the Lord
in Repentance begging for his
family but he was absent and he said
whatever it is God wants to do is fine
with
you in fact the guy died sitting down as
you might
expect there are guys who spend their
whole lives sitting down so to remember
them after they die you should scatter
their ashes on the
couch but God is saying Eli no you have
to get up and fight for your family I
want you to fight for God’s honor in
your home and choose that even above
your own children that’s what God
wants free to stop just talking and take
action so passivity always
seeks the widest Road
but action always seeks the narrow
road action assumes responsibility
passivity says Ah I don’t I’ll be fixed
soon yeah this season will pass it’s
just temporary but action says this
requires me to move my butt like Solomon
might
say so all us men were taught how to go
to church we were taught to not drink to
not curse to not be rude to not smoke we
know how to be
gentlemen and good
men some men learn how to play an
instrument or lead worship sing new
songs cry and cry while they sing I’m
the little girl the little girl in your
eyes
no that’s
it we’re going to be
correct the little
girl in our eyes is that little black
point that we have in our Iris when you
look at somebody in their eyes you see
like a small person that’s where the
phrase comes from that’s a little
girl in your eyes let’s be correct
emically speaking that’s what it
means but I never you know what I don’t
have any doubts about my sexuality but I
can never say I’m the little
girl the little girl in your eyes no I
can’t I just it doesn’t come out from
within me I’m sorry I’m from a different
generation I
know but we weren’t taught how to
fight I’ll say this
I doubt you’ll hear this in any other
church but sometimes you have to go out
and kick a few butts sometimes you have
to go out and fight against
life no trainer would tell his team hey
guys go out to the field and and and be
loving be kind be the most loving Rivals
that Argentina has ever known Mexicans
hey respect argentinians no who’s going
inside hey
whoa no our is going to teach you what
goal scoring is
right because that’s
soccer a team that says oh don’t oh be
kind they don’t they don’t have the
motivation to win and that’s what the
church has told men for so many years
just try to be good men and the church
ends up having a masculine exterior but
it Soul becomes feminine and when I’m
saying femininity I’m not talking about
cowardice I’m talking about a stereotype
that shouldn’t exist in masculinity
and that’s where the extinction of the
masculine gender comes our gender
disappears from the
radar and that
demasculinization or that spiritual
castration comes from a weakened
generation that has been an old a
generation that’s timid it’s proven that
the majority of women now it’s your
turn most
Wom don’t
stop to to focus on aesthetic
Beauty there isn’t a cannon of beauty of
this is beautiful this isn’t no beauty
is in the eye of the beholder it’s
relative but what’s true is the majority
of women there are always exceptions
they say we don’t seek Beauty what
attracts them to men is their
confidence well understood manhood
someone might say that Savage
side but it’s also not less true that
once they trap them they dedicate their
lives to domesticating
them am I
wrong like someone once
said women fall in love with chada’s
beard to then get married with him and
then force him to shave it
off so nobody would put a great lion in
a small cage so why put a man there
maybe it’s the same
reason we put God in cages many
times a God that we have the formula for
we know how he works we say God likes
this God doesn’t like this displeases
him I know God and so I can manipulate
him we end up cutting off the the claws
off of the Lion of Judah and we think
that Jesus looks like John Lennon
proclaiming peace and love singing
imagine instead of a warrior that
incites us to
fight many men end up hiding
behind the fig tree that represents love
and kindness and they never face a
difficult situation but we have to learn
to harden our
facei Like Flint the Lord hardened his
his face
his to to to carry out the difficulties
in life I’m not talking about someone
that’s always in a bad mood that doesn’t
smile that doesn’t
laugh when the word says Harden your
your face like Flint it’s speaking about
perseverance
character and it’s directly
proportionate to the warrior you have
within that’s why in Army
Camps they’re saturated by discipline
and you ask why are they so harsh
because they know that when hell Rains
Down on the
Battleground the enemy won’t forgive and
a man has to have character to be able
to put up with what’s put up with what’s
coming someone that’s made of glass
can’t go to a Battleground
so they’re treated in a way that breaks
them you might say well if they’re
broken they won’t they’ll be useless no
they have to go to that second win where
they say I don’t care what they say to
me I don’t want I don’t care how much
they ell at me I’m a man of war and this
was true in the first world war true in
the second world war and it’s true in
today’s modern living and conflicts
a young man needs strength to finish his
studies he needs that character to
finish the career he began to maintain
his
convictions under
pressure under people saying oh it’s
it’s Antiquated to be a virgin it’s
Antiquated to not have sex with anyone
young people need convictions to manage
their discipline and their beliefs to be
able to manage their artistic and
professional career this is absolutely
fundamental to develop an indomable
heart even though they’re imprisoned
even though he’s imprisoned whipped beat
stoned the Apostle Paul doesn’t change
his message he doesn’t take any steps
back glory to God that’s why we have the
letters to the to the Ephesians to
the Church of
Philippi to the Romans Paul says
there is a time for everything a season
for every activity under the heavens a
time to be born a time to die a time to
plant and a time to support to upro A
Time to Kill and a time to heal and you
might say well we’re not in war right
now it’s not talking about a literal War
it’s talking about the war of life
there’s a time where you have to battle
let me tell you something
else there’s nothing that mutilates
masculinity masculinity more and
amputates manhood
nothing
awakens more Fury in the heart of a
child when
they witness the passivity of a
father it takes away the
masculinity many children and young
people have to take over the family
battles because their parents don’t want
to do
it if a child is raised by a father
who’s present physically sitting on a
couch but absent emotionally he’ll look
for that manhood
elsewhere in any way
possible God knows that I loved my
father he knows that I honored him until
his last breath but God also knows that
I hated his
passivity I hated his famous phrase I
don’t know ask your
mom I understand having to ask Mom about
certain things that she manages I
understand
that the leadership in the home was
shared but he never made the difficult
decisions in the home
never and what’s worse he never made the
easy decisions
either and if one
day I went to ask my dad for permission
to continue reading for a little longer
or continue watching TV or going out
with a friend I didn’t ask him for
strange things my mother would
immediately come and unauthorize him she
would say nope I would say but my dad
said she would say yeah but it doesn’t
matter what your dad says so I would go
complain with my dad and he would say I
don’t want any problems with your mom if
she said no it’s no but you said yes
well your mother spoke yeah but did God
speak or did my mother speak I hated
that and more than once I said hey but
aren’t you the man around here and he
would go take a
nap but something else happened that
marked my youth it’s not that it left me
traumatized no don’t know
little by little I open up my heart to
you I was just a little
boy and a and a
neighbor that always bullied me pushed
me off my bicycle onto the
sidewalk I got up and I tried to defend
myself but he pushed me
again and if that weren’t enough he went
to complain to his mother telling her
that I had hurt him and pushed him over
but that wasn’t the worst part
that young demon
mother that young antichrist’s mother
went to my home and asked to speak to my
father and I
said this is going to end ugly because
my dad had to wake up from his
nap she said hey look your little boy is
messing with my son and and and he
pushed them over and I said no no no dad
and I was even H I said no dad and I
think in order to resolve everything in
an ex bre way and go back to his nap he
SLA me across the face in front of the
little boy that had pushed me over and
his mother and she said miss it won’t
happen again he’s punished go inside
yeah but I didn’t
inside I went and told my mother what
happened and she said well I believe you
but your dad doesn’t want to have
problems with the neighbors you should
have defended me or at
least have given me the right to explain
myself I deserve benefit of the
doubt but he was the type of guy that
wanted to avoid
conflict and he would cut the weakest
link which was his son me I never
brought it up
again but man does that impact you his
excuse was we’re
Christians after he took his nap and we
spoke about it I said hey I didn’t touch
him he said well we’re Believers if
we’re Believers we can’t be defending
ourselves but that’s an erroneous
concept of what it means to be Christian
I see it on social media people insult
you and and and you defend yourself with
irony and they say oh a Son of God
wouldn’t do
that no that’s just cowardice sometimes
to bring about peace you have to go out
to war you don’t win Battles by sweeping
the conflict under the
rug so life is going to present to us so
many opportunities to train our
character as men and we shouldn’t run
from it and we owe that to women
every man owes his manhood to his mother
his sisters and also his
sons and for that we have to go
down the least traveled path if you’re a
man that doesn’t like conflict get into
one is it tough yes it’s tough I always
say that I Don’t Preach what I’ve
already accomplished but maybe some
things that God is still training me in
however I don’t wait to receive a
diploma to speak with authority if not I
wouldn’t speak on any
anything so when a compromising conflict
arises at home at work or at church you
have to try and not run from it show
your face honor those that hired
you those that have once given you a job
even though you think you’ll never use
that bridge again don’t be
confused whoever plays the harp and
tends the Sheep today can be your king
tomorrow bless the pastor that once
blessed you it doesn’t matter if that
Pastor has now become a rascal it
doesn’t matter
it doesn’t correspond to it doesn’t
correspond to us to judge anybody’s Soul
they blessed you at one point honor them
for that time in that season in which
they were a blessing it always surprised
me to see those men that were are that
are offended by something or they simply
change their opinion it’s a right that
we all
have but they don’t have what they
should have and it’s speaking face to
face closing out a chapter Pastor I’ve
decided to congregate somewhere else
I’ve spoken to many pastors that say Hey
a leader disappeared 20 years by my side
and then one day he’s gone and it
happens with managers as well sir I’ve
decided to seek another job face to
face it’s a little moment like one like
one of my grandmother said it’s a little
bit of discomfort but a life of Peace
hey I’ve decided I’m going to move to a
different state or a different country
not come back after a year
later things aren’t going so well so
maybe now I should honor no you should
honor always honor like a man because
it’s not manly to speak behind someone’s
back and then want to fix everything
through a phone call or saying oh hey
everything’s fine no you have to fix
things face it all why because that’s
how God created us take the honored
path the road to manhood these are codes
of
manhood and before I finish I want to
share with you two axom two principles
two gems in the crown that I’ve learned
throughout life and what gives me the
credit and authority to tell
you what I’m about to say is
that I have more past than future see
that’s a nice way to say I’m old I’m
closer to the tomb than I am to the crib
closer to the Grave than to the uterus
I’m not saying I’m about to die but
looking at my life I have more past than
future and the first advice is that we
fight our battles like men that doesn’t
mean that we’re obligated to fighting
them all we have to Cho choose what
battles are worth our
time there are many things I stopped
doing because I realized that those
battles were just to show that I was
humble that I was a good
person I’ve accept I I would accept
invitations so that people wouldn’t
think that I became proud would you come
to my small
church or now that you’re in Greeno land
did you lose your humility and just for
them to think that I was humble I would
go and I never gained anything but there
was always something that offended them
hey can you can you shoot a video hey
can you dance the Conga hey can you get
on the roof no I can’t oh see I knew you
weren’t humble there’s no way to
convince
them so during my
youth I’ve ran for many battles that I
should have fought but I must also
confess with pain that I let go of many
battles that God never sent me to fight
and the second piece of advice is fight
your battles only once don’t fight your
battles
twice once in worry and in and in
anticipation and then once again when
you actually get into that
Skirmish don’t lose hours of sleep
thinking about how you’ll face tomorrow
no tomorrow you’ll have the strength for
tomorrow I’ve learned that through
experience as well I was very worrisome
for years and so all my battles were
double all the anxiety of how it would
go and then the day of the battle I was
already exhausted soldiers are sent to
sleep and rest well a day before battle
we go to fight completely tired
overwhelmed stressed out and the Lord
says each day has its own
troubles 24 hours the day give us our
daily bread it’s 24 hours not tomorrow’s
not next
week’s today has its own trouble it has
enough trouble it has its own victories
its own defeats you have to celebrate
them or cry them
today not yesterdays not tomorrow and
life is more than a simple battle it’s
composed of many altercations many wars
many
conflicts and all of them in all of them
we have to be willing and decided to
defeat you get up in the
morning and now in metaphoric terms not
practical terms you you wake
up get up to kick demons to kick
butts you get up to fight for what’s
worth in the famous film Gladiator the
one that won so many awards it was made
in
2002 or sorry it was based on the 2
Century after Christ it’s about Maximus
the commander of the armies of the Roman
Empire a very love General loved by his
men and the emperor Marcus
aelius and Marcus aurelius’s son he’s
ambitious this is the emperor’s son
Commodus he gives honor to his name
Comfort
comus his father decides to put
Maximus as a general instead of his own
son and just
before Marcus
arelius can
name Maximus as general Commodus kills
his father so
obviously Maximus will not be the
general and so Maximus escapes sold as a
gladiator and that Destiny might make
you think that he would always be a
slave but he’s a fighter not only does
he survive he becomes a
champion he’s taken to Rome to the
Coliseum to show his strength before the
Emperor Commodus and of course he
believes that Maximus has been dead for
a long time so after a
notable display of Courage the emperor
comes down to meet the brave Gladiator
his identity is hidden behind a mask and
Commodus tells him your Fame is well
deserved you Spanish
man I don’t think there has ever been a
gladiator like
you why doesn’t the hero show his true
face and name and Maximus says my name
is Gladiator and he turns around and the
emperor says how dare you turn your back
on me slave
you will take off your mask and you will
tell me your name and Maximus at the
peak of the film takes off his helmet he
looks him in his eyes and he says my
name is Maximus Decimus
Meridian commander of the armies of the
north general of the Phoenix Legions
faithful servant to the true emperor of
Rome Marcus arelius father of a who was
assassinated assassinated husband of a
wife who was
assassinated and I swear that I will
avenge myself whether it be in this life
or in the next
one when that was shown in theaters
generally the people applauded on their
feet especially the
men whose Gene was awakened my question
is where does a man learn an answer like
that where does a man learn his true
identity we’re not even slavery of an
underpaid job or a dysfunctional family
or a country that isn’t yours can’t take
it I think I know the answer first we
have to know where we come
from and then we’ll have to face battles
skirmishes Wars we have to strategize we
have to become true
men that defend in honor of his own at
the cost of
anything men who aren’t scared of
showing their scribes because because in
the end that’s what makes us
men the recovery of the
warrior is completely crucial for the
recovery of a man everything else rests
upon this but my comrades we have to
fight for everything we wish for
everything we love in our families in
our communities in our country in our
region and in our world we’re warriors
we’re
soldiers we’re made in the image of God
or that’s what we
believe once and for all let’s recover
the masculinity in our lines we have to
be possessed by the spirit and go out to
war because the Kingdom of Heaven
suffers violence and the violent are the
ones who rate it somebody needs to
celebrate more than that give an
Applause to the King of
Kings get on your feet men
women give an Applause to the warrior of
Warriors the king of kings I am the god
strong strong and
feared Mighty and feared blessed are you
hallelujah
hallelujah and certain battles will be
very
complicated but like a famous General
once said challenging as general
it’s possible you’ll die during a battle
or maybe this next one but one day
you’re going to look
back and you’re going to feel proud of
having fought you’re going to feel
proud that you did what you did in that
moment what you thought was the best
idea and that is
fight face the convictions that become
more and more gray more and more
relative it’s
difficult because when I have to speak
to the majority of Christians
generally the majority celebrate because
we share
convictions but when I have to speak to
reporters or people that are unbelievers
or atheists or any other religion our
convictions are put to the test and of
course you don’t go out and hurt other
people’s feelings
you you don’t want to be a
fundamentalist on this side of the crack
but you have to maintain what you
believe even if it’s not popular even if
they say call a retrograde even if they
say you were left back in the
40s if they say you’re you’re
masochistic or you’re a feminist doesn’t
matter what they say Society has changed
yeah but God hasn’t changed that’s what
he refers to when he says I’m the same
one yesterday today and for the
centuries and the god from yesterday is
is a warrior and so he is today and he
always will be a God that pushes us to
fight for what we believe in for what
we’re convinced of are we in agreement
yes or no
let’s fight for
that does it have a price yes it
does does war have collateral damages
yes of course but the point is who is
willing to take that step forward women
benefit when manhood is
recovered women are blessed when their
sons have it clear that they’re going to
make their own families and battle
against life and they won’t run under
mom’s skirt when things get ugly I know
women love it oh my little
boy but you have to know that one day
you’re going to
leave Mom is the closest thing to
Moses you’re preparing your nation your
people for a land that you’ll never see
my mother never
saw everything that she prayed for over
me she never saw
it because when she could finally start
to see something ALS s began to take her
most recent
memories putting them on a shelf too
high for her to reach and everything
that was real for her was in the past
and she saw me as a little
boy so she couldn’t see it however I
give her credit for all the times that
she prayed every time she said God is
going to use you one day the people will
listen to you she prepared me for a
promised land that she wasn’t able to
step foot
on that’s raising somebody without
selfishness
mom dad your children are not yours
they’re not an extension of
us tell us our parents used to say that
if they misbehave then we look bad no
remember Mom saying change her underwear
because if you have an accident the one
that will be put to shame is me no the
one wearing the dirty underwear is him
not you you did your
job if he has a mess in his
room that’s not an extension of how
filthy you are no that’s him if he’s of
age if he wants to walk through filth
let him do it that doesn’t represent you
sometimes we think that our children are
an extension of ourselves yes they’re a
legacy but they have their own
personality the way we did in respect to
our own parents we take the good the bad
we discard our children don’t belong to
us don’t expect God to ask us to place
them on an altar and I’m speaking
symbolically for us to understand
that our job ends with education with
principles with being Priests of the of
the home and then they will fly their
own flight and sometimes they remember
sometimes sooner unfortunately sometimes
later some will recognize our teachings
when we’re no longer there with
them or maybe we’re beneath the ground
or our souls with the Lord but our job
will be done good or bad we did what we
believe was good and of course we’re not
going to raise them perfectly
and they’re going to complain the same
way we did with our parents that we
didn’t love them enough that we didn’t
give them affection we’re not perfect
we’re also going to make mistakes but
when it’s time for us to pass on and we
have to leave with a calm heart a
peaceful heart knowing that we did the
best that we kept our convictions that
while they live in our homes under our
roofs there are convictions There Are
Rules there are things that have to be
respected and power has nothing to do
with with strength power is one thing
strength is another my grandmother Anna
was my father’s mother and in her last
year as a poor woman she couldn’t even
walk but when she said with her few
words and in her broken Spanish she said
I want all my children to come see me
tomorrow there’s a family reunion
tomorrow they would all show
up the old woman had power she didn’t
have any strength not even to go to the
restroom but when she spoke everyone
listened and
respected how do you accomplish
well there are things that longevity
gives us
permanence
resisting there are things that will
come there are things that won’t but
whatever God has prepared for
us we’re going to face life with
convictions knowing what it is we want
what we don’t want giving ourselves
no even if that makes us less popular
parents saying no without giving so many
explanations I said during the
conference at in Argentina how many of
our mothers wrote a book on how to say
no to your child without feeling
guilt how did not be a toxic mother my
mother was sure Noble because of how
toxic she was
and she raised us she kept us in our
beliefs what I’m trying to say
is I’m not trying to say be toxic no I’m
saying do what God has sent you to do
don’t feel guilt fight for your family
fight for your children fight for your
own we’re going to pray Hallelujah
father lift up your hands to Heaven
thank you for this
morning I’ve transmitted what I believe
you told me to tell these people those
that are watching through the screen
thank you God for this manhood that
we’ve recovered this masculinity that
you’ve given us that many of
us have traded thank you
Lord because we’re
recovering a part of us
being a priest being the head taking
responsibility even the parents that
have
divorced take responsibility for your
children take responsibility the
responsibility that corresponds to you
for having brought them to this world
even those with dysfunctional homes take
responsibility of changing the story of
not repeating the pattern that sickly
and dysfunctional pattern there will be
no excuse we won’t be able to say my dad
was like this that’s why I’m like this
we can’t say I inherited it from my
grandparents no Lord help us to change
our gender our Gene our Essence if
necessary to not
inherit the the the bitter grapes that
our parents ate change the chip in our
generation Lord change what you have to
change mold us like the Potter
make us new rebuke take away disarm
everything that doesn’t add to us and
build us again as women as men as
children as parents as spouses as
partners as in-laws help
us as daughter-in-laws as son-in-laws to
be better help us to have convictions
that remain to be able to say I have run
the race I have kept my fa and my crown
in this life is reserved for all of us
that have
remained with that first message of the
cross with the resurrection of Our Lord
father thank you thank you for this word
we receive it it’s part of our being
those that are receiving the Lord in
their
hearts those that say I want to have
what life has taken away from me say
Lord come into my heart forgive my sins
write my name in The Book of Life allow
me to begin a new life Lord thank you
for the attention for your presence For
Your Glory for your word transform us
imprint in us an anointing greater to be
able to assume
responsibilities to recover the nucleus
of society to recover our children I beg
you father for your anointing your
blessing I bless your people your
children in the body in the soul and in
the spirit amen and amen glory to
Jesus blessed be
God men nothing personal we’re on the
same page bye until next time God bless
you until next Sunday
