ENGLISH Dante Gebel #853 | When you go without being sent
Most of the time, we tend to get off and walk on the water, long before God calls us to abandon the boat. The problem with this arises when our character cannot yet sustain the calling and we end up sacrificing our divine purpose on the altar of selfishness and personal convenience. We forget that, from promise to fulfillment, there will always be a transition and we tend to confuse preparation with abandonment. Therefore, let us pray today, not that God shortens the duration of our difficult times, but that we learn from our experience in the desert.

here we
are as always lifting up those flags
from distinct
nationalities greeting all those that
are watching us and the director is
doing a general pan of all the people
present first Sunday of the year first
Sunday first event don’t stop that
Applause people something is happening
here at
River how beautiful look look look that
Applause is for the Lord for the holy
spirit for the
king the king is in the
house good morning look I see the
Argentinian flag and it excites
me may God bless you may he protect
you we had an introduction here recently
with the
people present this is the first service
of the
Year I hope that everything that you ate
you were able to digest I know some of
you looked in the mirror and said oh I
ate too much but this year I’m going to
start my diet
well not today not on not on the first
because you retired from the 31st and
from the second no you still had
leftovers so next Monday and that’s
tomorrow and so tomorrow the majority of
people will will begin their diets and I
hope the Lord gives you discipline
here’s some advice from someone that
struggles with it as well even if it’s
10 minutes 5 minutes of walking of going
on the treadmill don’t say I’m going to
start with an hour and a half and I’m
going to get rid of all this fat it
won’t
happen you have to start with three four
five minutes and also have spiritual
discipline this year to say Lord I’m
going to read your word more at least
one or two verses a day look what I’m
saying sometimes we don’t even take the
Bible because it’s easier to grab the TV
control for Netflix or you say ah let me
turn on the TV or when you connect to
streaming or when you start watching
videos on your phone with that content
that never ends on your phone you say
how am I going to read the Bible but if
you say Lord before anything while I’m
making myself coffee or while you’re
having breakfast say I’m going to
receive a word from the Lord and some
say yeah but I don’t really understand
anything I read well let me suggest
start with Proverbs or with the book of
Psalms Proverbs are principles axioms of
wisdom and the Psalms the majority of
them are are songs poems
Pros so you can say well let me read
this proverb if you can memorize it you
have no idea how your deposit will be
filled with marvelous things because
when you’re in a
crisis you can take from your deposit
the Holy Spirit can’t take something
from a deposit that doesn’t have it
everything that’s good and pure and
loving anything that comes from God you
must think about that so when you fill
your deposit with those things and then
you go into a crisis you say Lord what
what word do I have what word do I
have and then suddenly you think about
squid
games
because that’s the only thing in your
deposit because that’s what your head is
filled with you filled it with with with
trash so when you want to take a word
the holy spirit says well I want to find
from in your deposit but I didn’t find
anything I found the house of cards I
kept looking and then I found just
anything else you know so when you say
Lord I want to fill my deposit with good
things and then when when we’re in a
crisis that’s where that word appears
that’s where that verse appears so this
new year this year of change and
transition of new beginning
it’s a year of new beginnings of new
decisions how can I say
uh new resolutions for this new year are
we happy yes or no people and at home as
well thank you for supporting us all
these years thank you for being there
for connecting I know some are awaiting
today’s word I’m about to transmit it
but before let me tell you what’s
happening in Cuba it’s just a little bit
of news it’s a short video a small
report of how we’re doing in Cuba what
God
begins man cannot
finish what God starts no man can say
stop I remember being on the same stage
when the governor of California who we
sent a a special greeting to Governor
Nome he
said you can’t have your services we
couldn’t even transmit life from here
then later he said all right it’s fine
but with restrictions there has to be
distancing it seemed like it happened
long ago but it happened and he said
children no children no elderly those
that those are in a dangerous age
couldn’t come so I couldn’t come because
I’m I’m up there but we began to
understand of course you have to under
we have to respect authority but there’s
always a greater Authority that goes
beyond any president or minister or
Governor here on Earth and so we know
that
Cuba is living under a sing singular
government and it’s been that way for
many decades but we know that God sent
us there to help we’re not going against
the regime we’re not going against the
politics we’re not going there to
generate anything we’re not Gathering up
votes this doesn’t have to do with with
with an election or anything political
it has to do far from any any militancy
it’s about helping people and we went to
go help and we want to finish this
marvelous work I want to show you our
village our neighborhood in Cuba where
we’re going to give six new homes to
elderly couples we’ll tell you their
stories and we’re going to honor them
and bless them this is what’s happening
in Cuba on that beloved Island we send a
greeting to all the Cubans River news
here we
[Music]
go
Riv
[Music]
[Music]
for
[Music]
[Music]
thank you my beloved Rudy thank you
thank you for the information and the
update it’s just to share with
you I don’t want you to think that we
forgot about it we’re still going on
without work it’s not easy to find
materials and you might ask well
construction takes so long yeah in Cuba
it does here in a week you can build a
skyscraper but over there you have to
find materials it’s not wood it’s all
cement and brick and and
tile sometimes you have to bring it from
different
regions those elements are scarce so
it’s it’s hard but it’s it’s our goal
it’s just a seed when we see those
elderly couples faces and smiles when
they receive their homes with dignity I
think we’ll
feel that we but a little bit of mercy
and Grace in Cuba agreeing to all the
Cubans we’re praying for you praying for
you continue being joyous we love you so
much God bless all of you very well are
we ready say with me I’m
ready this is the first message of the
year and it has to do with the spiritual
foundations for this 2024 and I need I
mean I know I I take it for granted but
I need you to pay attention as you’ve
never paid attention to any other
preacher on the face of this Earth and
in the cosmos and in the universe with
all your five stances because it has to
do with the foundations of this
transition many years back when my hair
was very black and when I was very young
I received a prophetic
word that the Lord would give me the
Providence of traveling from Nation to
nation and he would lend me the ears of
many people and from then on I was very
young and unexperienced immature I was a
fool I thought that I had to do
something in respect to that immediate
that everything would be easier if I
could accomplish first being a young
businessman because I said if I’m a
young businessman then I’ll have my own
resources I’ll be able to fulfill this
mission that God has sending me on but I
need resources for that I can’t depend
on anyone it’s Noble and appraisable
what I was thinking I first thought
about becoming a
businessman and then a provider to my
own Ministry I admired those that said I
have my own business and I don’t need
anyone’s support I don’t need to live
off of any offering or what the people
give to me I can fund my own Ministry
and so though I was very young and and
was
hardworking I was very hardworking in
the business that hired me until I
became one of the best salesmen and
sometime later I was 22 years old I had
just turned
22 I was able to rise to become a
manager in that business
in a shopping mall in
Buenos and so I was very young and I had
many employees under my management and I
earned much more than any other person
that had spent years at that business so
I had F I had done it back then I had a
great
salary and I foolishly thought that I
could
sing there’s a season in life where you
believe you can do everything right I
thought I could sing I thought that I
could stay in tune more or less so that
I decided to record a few CDs well back
in those days they were cassettes I like
I always say if you know what a cassette
is then it’s time for you to get your
annual colonoscopy it’s time okay you’re
at that age and if you say yeah yeah I
even had cassettes well you better go
check your prostate urgently because at
this age you have to present prevent the
point is that those cassettes I had 14
songs on each
cassette and try and search for them
online because I made it my own job to
make any of that evidence disappear you
won’t find
it since I had money I would pay for
publicity on magazines and newspapers
there was no social media and so I
launched myself into
stardom I was
sure that God had sent me to serve him
in that way my intentions were
Noble but my vision was very selfish
fish I wasn’t acting humbly I wanted to
be well known I wanted to be grandiose I
imagined everything that I could do for
God and I would say God you’re so lucky
to have
me amongst your followers how beautiful
I thought God looked down on me and said
man good thing Dante was
born and at the age of
22 with a promise from God in my hand I
thought that it was just a matter of
doing it on my own of of launching my
dreams my ideas at first I thought that
I would be a great businessman and that
I would solve at my own costs while I go
through through the world doing great
things for God it sounds Noble it sounds
like a vision from God it doesn’t sound
bad
but once I had the resources and once I
had a few ideas or a few phrases that
were revolutionary and I had a great
desire to serve God I realized that all
that wasn’t enough and I didn’t take
into account that with that promise
there’s always a process with the
promise there’s always a process that’s
what I call the transition always so
after a few months of becoming manager
one day to make a long story short they
fired me abruptly without paying me a
single dollar accusing me unjustly of
having stolen from the
business on that morning I went into my
office with my chest puffed
out and that night I went home hunched
over with a withered
forehead however something historic was
happening inside of me at that moment I
didn’t
realize that the true transformation had
just begun from that moment I was fired
God began to work in many aspects with
my character and he also began to
eliminate or began to eliminate what
didn’t please him with my conduct and
the Lord still isn’t done I’m I’m not
here because I’m a finished model but
that’s when the Lord said I have to
eliminate a lot of things from your
conduct from your character and that day
when I hit rock bottom for the first
time there God’s calling in my
life began to become a reality it’s as
if God said all right Dante now that I
have your attention I’m going to teach
you a few important things that up until
now you weren’t willing to listen to now
that I have your attention let’s begin
and that’s where he began now that I
think about it if God had sent
me to serve him without that bitter
process it was bitter in its moment then
I I would have been a disaster First
Corinthians 311 says for no one can lay
any foundation other than the one
already laid which is Jesus Christ no
one back then I had the correct
Foundation because like many of you I
was born in a Christian household well I
wasn’t born into it but at the age of
seven my entire family gave their lives
to Christ and so I was brought up with a
Christian Foundation I can’t say that at
home they didn’t teach us biblical
Foundation but I wasn’t building upon it
in the right way I was trying to build
the foundation was correct but I was
trying to build with wood hay and scrap
anything to just quickly get to the
goal never waited for the Lord to guide
me it never it never occurred to me to
say all right Lord you gave me your
call so now what should I wait for what
should I do no on the contrary I wanted
to lift up a Ministry a life
a a family basing myself on my dreams my
ambition so in essence I was or I tried
to go before they even sent me so God
had to Humble me because I wasn’t wise
enough to humble myself
so you either humble yourself or you’re
humbled you either give yourself to the
Lord saying here I am or the Lord will
say I’ll make you say I’m here Lord and
let me confess something to you that
each day I’m more and more convinced
of and now I’m fully
convinced that if I had accomplished
what I was seeking when I was young then
I’m sure that in the best of cases
today I would be just
playing the I serve God consumed by ego
I would be I would be consumed by pride
in fact I would be bitter against the
whole world because pride is that it’s
the root of all
evil when you’re filled with ego you
begin to be jealous because why does
that person have that why do they
receive more and you become bitter
that’s
corrosive so in that moment what
appeared to
me as God disappointing me no he was
saving my life he said if I let this guy
go like this he’s going to be a lost
cause now fine I’m
aware that God tends to call us to do
important
things throughout many moments in our
lives but on certain occasions those
callings don’t turn out the way we
thought they would play out I said I
wanted to serve you I wanted to be a
part of the choir or I wanted to be an
usher or preach or sing or play play an
instrument but how many
times have we felt Guided by God to do
something that we believed was Noble
just the way I did something appraisable
I wanted to preach I didn’t want to
become a
millionaire but then it became an
embarrassing situation a complicated
situation how many times have we been
through something where you felt like
starting a business all by yourself and
you said I’m tired of being an employee
I don’t want to depend on that manager
or I don’t want to be dependent on
anyone I want to have my own company I
want to be a head and not a tail I want
to be above and not below until you take
hold of that promise and you dedicate
yourself to that with great illusion but
when you get to the end of the month you
have no way to pay your payroll and you
say I don’t know I believed God and now
I have more debts than ever there are
many people that believed that they
believed in the
Lord you believed God but it just didn’t
work out well not not yet
right or you had a
dream you said I’m I’m done with this
addiction no more alcohol or in the
worst of cases drugs or pornography and
you said I’m going to finish off
that that history that dysfunctional
history and you thought that you would
then become a good husband a good wife
with your dream marriage your dream
children and now you look
back you look back at your life and you
do checks and balance and you realize
that your marriage isn’t a model
marriage your kids aren’t the ones that
you dreamed of and you say I believed in
God I had every desire to believe in him
just like me at the age of 22 when I
thought it was my time to start my
Ministry people are saying I feel like
doing something different for God and
some have even taken a great leap of
faith there are people watching me now
that have taken a great leap of faith
and they took that risk in all of our
countries there are people saying it’s
my time and they leave and they go maybe
that call was genuine but judging off of
how things are are going now you ask
yourself was this really from God or did
I just make this up in my
imagination how many times have we said
did God really speak to me or was it
just my indigestion from eating so many
tacos and burritos Christmas night or or
New
Year’s was it indigestion that brought
me here really I’m sure many men and
women of God have asked themselves that
at all levels of spirituality at a
certain point we ask did I just get into
it because I’m
audacious and this is the heart or the
core of the problem the majority of
times we have the
tendency of getting off the boat and
walking on the water much before God has
called us to abandon the boat and that’s
a great
issue I’m a great
defender of the active Gospel of doing I
always say it’s preferable to make a
mistake by doing than by being passive
however it’s still a great
mistake to have the characteristic of
always getting off the boat before
making sure that God is calling you and
of course God wants us to get off the
boat at one point or another at one
point we have to abandon our comfort
zone and assume risks and everything in
life you assume risks you begin a career
you’re assuming the risk of who knows if
this is what I’m going to like doing
when I’m an adult but it’s what attracts
me it’s a risk you get married and it’s
a risk because you don’t know that
person completely you have children and
it’s a risk because you don’t know how
you’re going to be as a parent and when
you learn to be a parent you’re then you
then become a
grandparent but when you begin and run
risks it’s elusive to think that the
Lord won’t sign us up for the University
of
character anytime you want to assume a
risk before that there’s always a
transition the process the University of
character if not God won’t permit us to
crash our faces against the wall or if
he does allow it like in my case it’s
for us to
learn to not just calculate the risks
But be sure if it’s the time the calling
is genuine but the point is is it the
right time and no man shows this
principle better than Moses I’m going to
make the long story short but it just so
happens that in
Egypt a pharaoh goes into power that
begins to oppress the Hebrews and he
gives an order amongst other orders to
kill all the infant boys that are
Jewish because his slave population was
too great and he was afraid that one day
they would become too numerous that they
could take control of Egypt and in that
in those turbulent times
of of of of of genocide of of
assassination Moses’s family hides him
for three months what any parent would
do once they saw that it was impossible
to hide him because the baby was crying
or maybe a neighbor
could could tell on them or the soldiers
might hear him his mother covers a
basket with pitch and resin places Moses
in the basket and exodus 2:3 says then
she put it among the the reads along the
bank of the
Nile then Pharaoh’s daughter went down
to the Nile to bathe and her attendants
were walking along the r bankage and she
found Moses there
crying so she took Moses as her own and
and raised him obviously it’s it’s a
turn of events that nobody expected the
Hebrew baby that should have died soon
after birth had now become part of the
Egyptian royalty growing up in the
corridors of Power with the with an
Elite Education from the Pharaohs he
became a part of royalty he became the
Prince of Egypt but he knew was adopted
he knew that he hadn’t been born in the
palace and the book of Acts 7:23 tells
us that when Moses turned 40 years
old he decided to visit his own people
the Israelites he said let me go and see
my real brothers he knew he was Hebrew
and he saw that his own people were
under the burden of slavery of forced
work and scripture tells us that as he
saw saw one of his Hebrew brothers that
was being mistreated he defends him and
he actually kills the
Egyptian he Avenged the oppressed
because he
thought that his Hebrew brothers would
understand that the Lord would set them
free by his hand Moses thought if I if
I’m at the palace it’s because I have a
calling I have a purpose and so if I
have that calling let me just start the
The Liberation now I’m going to kill the
first Egyptian that I see mistreating my
own brother the next day he sees two
Israelites that are arguing and he says
hey you guys are brothers why are you
hurting each
other but the man who was mistreating
the other pushed Moses aside and said
who made you ruler and judge over us
huh because that’s where all the
Argentinian descendants came from he he
said starkly he said hey who put you in
power brother and he said are you
thinking of killing me as you killed the
Egyptian yesterday so the rumor had
spread that that Moses was an was an
assassin so Moses was convinced that he
was the right man and that he was doing
the right thing for God he had the
vision of being the Liberator of his
people from that moment his dream was
Noble it had it had good intent but when
he decides to fulfill his dream he ends
up killing a man and he fails the vision
was Noble yes Moses still wasn’t ready
to take on that Noble Vision was the
foundation correct yes but what he used
to to build was not correct the
foundation was right the vision was
right but it wasn’t the right time his
character still could not sustain his
calling and God knows if we can sustain
or hold up our calling many of us ask
God for blessings in different times of
our lives and God says you’re still not
ready to manage my
blessings not everyone can receive a net
full of fish from night to day there are
people that just aren’t ready we’ve seen
it in public cases I’m not stereotyping
anyone but I’m I’m talking about we’ve
seen it in in soccer players and boxers
who one day win a trophy or sign a
contract we’ve seen it in people that
win the lottery they pass from having
nothing to having millions and how long
does it last do they know how to invest
do they know how to make their money
work do they know how to save it no they
spend it
they they they spend on on on all
luxuries and coats and a Lamborghini and
a
Ferrari because they want all the
luxuries they never had and anyone that
had money their whole lives say no
that’s not going to work you’re going to
dilapidated all go $1 at a time and the
same thing happens in spiritual terms
not all of us have the character to
sustain what we asked for if the Lord
said yes to everything to every one of
us the world would be chaos now in
simple terms when I say we don’t have
the
character to sometimes sustain the
blessing or the calling well what is
that character well
it’s it’s a conglomeration of
of of characteristics the heart of who
we
are the world doesn’t pay attention to
our character it pays attention to our
credentials when you look for a job you
don’t say look I have good character I
always come early I’m hardworking no you
have to present a resume or a
CV that can attest to our credentials in
in in our
profession or our skills after that we
show
references they can call your old
employer your old manager and see if
they give good or bad reference or we
tend to judge someone’s success based on
the material possessions that they own I
had a friend many years ago I said I had
because he’s no longer my
friend that would catalog
someone’s worth based on the the car
that they were driving that was his
custom he would say oh you have no idea
the car that this guy’s driving oh you
have no clue he would always say oh this
guy finally made it oh he knew how to
make it he came here with nothing and
now he drives a
Hummer and he would uh drool when he
would say Hummer he would say oh he
drives a Hummer and a Hummer is the
scariest thing you can drive it’s
difficult to park a but you feel like a
Transformer up there you look down on
all the ants next to you with their
little
cars and he would say he drives a hammer
you have no idea the home that he built
for himself and I remember that I also
met that guy who drove the Hummer and he
was the most
immature fleshly angry man I’ve ever met
he was a terrible guy I couldn’t spend
five minutes with him without arguing
over something even if you’re someone
that doesn’t argue he would still find a
way to argue with you because he had an
iate way of treating people but he drove
a
Hummer he was my friend’s model to
follow glory to God that that guy is not
my friend anymore not him nor the guy
with the
Hummer and the same thing happens when
we judge a
pastor how do we judge a pastor well by
the size of his of his congregation not
by his character if he has a big church
it’s because he’s anointed period oh no
you have no idea the church he has there
are thousands and thousands of people
and maybe a church that’s called to lead
a smaller Church in a village or a town
or maybe in a city but he pastors a
smaller church people say oh no
something’s not going well because look
how that guy grew and he’s not because
we judge based off what we see but God
says I go directly to the heart and
that’s the heart of
character first book of Samuel 16:7 says
do not consider his appearance or his
height don’t look if he drives a hmer or
a Tesla because I discard him for me
that doesn’t matter where he lives the
credit he has Jehovah doesn’t see what
man sees man sees what’s in front of his
eyes but Jehovah sees the
heart the Lord looks at the heart that’s
his measuring tape isn’t it marvelous
good thing
right so when God looks for a
leader he chooses a person not based off
of their
capacity or their credit score or the
numbers on their bank account much less
their car or their or their clothes 2
Chronicles 169 says for the eyes of the
Lord range throughout the Earth to
strengthen those whose hearts are fully
committed to
him he gives favor and strength to those
who have a heart fully committed to them
he says I’m not looking for perfect
people I’m looking for people with a
perfect heart those that have a
character that I was able able to mold
and not just God not only God seeks good
character we all seek these qualities
and any person that guides
us children look for character in their
mother and their father it’s not the
same thing as temperament because
there’s a sister that says oh I have
good character no you just have bad
temperament that’s not good character
character is what holds you
up what keeps you firm in your
convictions and as I always say in the
art of leading of leading people we tend
to hire someone always based off their
capacity and notice every time we fire
them it’s because of their character
it’s never the opposite well I’ve never
hired somebody because of their
character and then I fire them due to
lack of capacity no you hire them
because they know how to manage a
computer they know how to run the
programs they know how to use Excel
they’re a good engineer they’re good at
lighting they’re a good musician but you
end up firing them because you can you
can’t stand them they don’t follow
instructions they don’t obey they don’t
respect authority you hire them due to
their capacity and you fire them due to
their character and the Lord avoids
these things he says without any
character I won’t send you I’m not going
to hire you based on your capacity you
may know how to preach you may know how
to sing but I’m not going to hire you
based on your capacity to then regret
having to fire you over your character
first you’re going to be put to the test
all around the world people cry out for
people with character
look at the political Panorama around
the world it’s contaminated with leaders
that accumulate power and riches for
themselves every day character is
sacrificed at the altar of selfishness
and personal
convenience and as soon as a politician
mentions oh may God bless you at the end
of his his speech or May the powers of
heaven then a bunch of Believers that
are confused say oh we’re before a man
of God he mentioned
Heaven the masses moan and cry out for a
man with character to rise up and lead
them but character isn’t just what you
say with your mouth no you see it in in
in the acts of what we do there are many
people that have the ability to ascend
to the summit but character is what
keeps them there your character
determines how far you’ll go how long
will go and how many will go with us
that’s character
and unfortunately reading books having
ideas having a great desire to do things
that doesn’t develop our heart or our
character if only there were a book 12
steps to have good character not even
this message can gift you good character
don’t expect me to say I’m going to send
you the power of good character in this
hand I feel that’s leaving my hand
that’s not going to work that
way the most I can do and foolishly is
incite you to making decisions that will
help you build that character but I
can’t just magically give you the power
of
character for that reason there are no
conferences to develop character you’ll
never see a conference for character no
there’s a conference for growth and
empowerment anointing Liberation
Freedom tongues there is no conference
for character because the only one that
can teach us about character is the Lord
you can’t learn it through a coach and
nothing reveals what we’re made
of like times of trial times of crisis
when you’re under pressure that’s where
you find out who you are
always we’re citrus fruits like oranges
or lemons we give our juice when we’re
squeezed someone says oh I C I left
church on Sunday so blessed they get on
the freeway or they’re driving home and
an Asian Cuts them off
off and there that lime juice is
squeezed
out when tough times put us to the test
there our true nature is exposed I don’t
know if it’s ever happened to you
literally being in traffic or or stuck
somewhere or I wouldn’t say an insult es
escapes you or maybe a a rude word you
say I’m in a rush how can it be
and you look back and your kid is
watching you and he says
[Music]
wow because they observe us how we react
what juice is squeezed out of us and
Paul writes to the Believers in the Book
of Romans and says not only so but we
also glory in our sufferings because we
know we know that suffering produces
perseverance perseverance character and
character produces
hope that’s in Romans
5:3 look at everything we have to do to
reach hope tribulation trials then hope
comes but you have to go through that
process of pressure so we can put our
hands on someone and pray for them may
the Lord bless this business Lord I pray
for this ministry and it’s fine because
you’re asking for a blessing for this
new thing but you can’t get give them an
anointing of character I can pray so
that a business starts off well we’re
going to pray that the Lord give you the
way to start right but for it to be held
up and sustained I can’t pray for that I
can’t pray for you to hold yourself up
this whole year that’s acquired through
a process with the
Lord in these last weeks or in these
last months many people wrote to me from
from my country asking if I would pray
for the new Argentinian president the
same way I did with na bu in El
Salvador I’ve known na from when he was
a candidate we developed a friendship
and I committed to go and pray for him
if he became
president but now they believe that I
dedicate my life to going through the
world praying for presidents on my free
time right and I understand the
motivations from the requests a sister
said you have to come and pray for our
president but I’m also
aware that we can’t vote for whoever we
want and I’m not judging anyone or
anyone’s values or decisions and expect
to just fix everything by laying the
laying of hands I remember at the church
where I was brought up a mom would bring
her rebellious child and she would tell
the pastor pray for this rebellious kid
he doesn’t want to do his homework and
the kid would
say no he’s just uneducated he doesn’t
have a demon he is the demon so they
write to me I want you to come and bless
the president so the country does well
no magic doesn’t
exist shortcuts to build good character
that doesn’t exist what do I know if
he’s going to be a good president but he
definitely won’t be a good one just
because I pray for him but that’s
believing that there’s osmosis or magic
that I can vote for whoever I want but
as long as someone prays for him that
he’ll become Winston Church Hill no it
doesn’t work that way that’s why Paul
warned in 1 Timothy 5:22 do not be Hasty
in the laying on of hands and do not
share in the sins of others keep
yourself pure that’s not rush to say
receive this donation so you can be a
businessman what do I know if the guy’s
going to have the discipline to wake up
early every
morning because there’s no greater
discipline expected than the person that
works for thems there are people that
want to work for themselves to not have
a schedule but it’s completely the
opposite sometimes I dream of being an
employee so I can have a schedule and
get home at 5:00 p.m. so no one bothers
me I clock out and I don’t work anymore
and at 501 get in my car and
leave I wouldn’t love anything more than
that at certain times I would love to
just fulfill my schedule say this is my
job description and that’s it but when
you’re in charge of something there’s no
schedule and you have to have the
discipline of waking up
early even more than when you had a
manager it’s not that oh now that I’m a
manager I’ll take 3 years of vacation or
I’ll go travel for 5 weeks no it doesn’t
happen that way with with great business
people that’s why they’re business
people that’s why they have their
businesses because they work so how can
I put my hands on someone so that their
business can grow as if they were magic
beans no it won’t
work Paul knew that promoting someone
before their heart was
ready could produce
disaster and that’s where many of us
fail we feel a call to do something for
God for our businesses for or anything
but we are not sure that our our heart
that our character is at the height of
what we’re asking
for they say that in order to produce a
cabbage it takes three months but to
produce an oak tree it takes 50 years if
I were a modern preacher I would tell
you tell the person next to you are you
a cabbage or are you an oak tree but let
me save you from that because the person
next to you doesn’t want to hear your
voice are you a cabbage are you or are
you an oak tree 3 months or or 50 years
so going back to the story of Moses when
Pharaoh finds out about the death of the
Egyptian that Moses had killed he tries
to kill Moses so Moses flees to the to
the region of Midian and he stays there
as a stranger Moses believed that God
would use him for a great Liberation but
now he is running to save his own life
he can’t even free his own
life why does God sometimes give us
dreams and I insist
visions that end up in failure and
frustration I can give you a list I told
you about that first one it’s not that
after the age of 22 never again did it
happen to me no it continued Happ
happening to me and Ministries and
different things and
projects that cost a lot more than they
should have because it wasn’t the right
time because I wanted to do I had the
calling but I wasn’t waiting for the
time God had given Moses the desire to
free his people people to rescue his
people and he began to live the
nightmare of those that are cast into a
void due to Faith before God sends them
the desire was genuine but the time was
not the opportune moment how many times
do we step on the gas in life before the
light turns green that always puts our
life at risk if the light is yellow or
red and you step on the gas it’s always
a risk in the worst of cases it’s a
tragedy last Sunday I spoke of lazy
people that don’t do anything with the
excuse of I don’t want to get ahead of
God remember remember that oh I don’t
want to get ahead of God I want to wait
on God but on the other end of the
spectrum there’s the person that doesn’t
want to get ahead of God and they they
ask one foot for permission to move the
other and they’re a lazy person that
doesn’t want to get ahead of God they
don’t do anything on the other and on
the antipodes of the spectrum there are
those that live jumping to action before
God sends them all the time
it’s the syndrome of the offered instead
of the
called they’re always offering
themselves for everything and you say
well you know that’s a good thing yeah
but it carries its risk they’re easy to
recognize because they’re jumping from
Vision to vision from Revelation to
Revelation they never remain in one
thing they’re never focused they never
solidify themselves in one thing there’s
nothing worse than having a guide or a
parent or a pastor or a president they
may not even get there that has mood
swings every week one day they tell you
one thing the other day it’s another
then they change their Vision then God
revealed something else to them one day
we were an evangelical church now we’re
a Missionary church now I don’t know why
I’m saying this God changed my message
God changed my Revelation and you say
that’s enough I have enough to deal with
with my mother-in-law I don’t need
another crazy person in my
life I got to know many people when I
was when I was younger when I was an
adolescent in my congregation they would
abandon their jobs some would even
abandon their families to live by
faith the Lord is calling me to live by
faith no it wasn’t living by faith it
was let me wait for someone to to to
sustain
me people that’s that would leave their
their jobs at their at the factory they
left their medical insurance and they
would live off of Faith their
kids were starving of hungry
my my kid’s stomach was touching his
back and someone knocked on the door and
came in with the sandwich and and that’s
my testimony of Faith really no that’s
just a lack of faith I’m a man of
Faith but faith has to do with the
moment in which God says step off the
boat and walk towards me so why does God
call call us to certain tasks like Moses
just to then allow us fall on our faces
I was going to say on your butt on your
rear end but let me just say on your
face I know why I know why God lets
Moses fall on his
face because there was too much Moses in
Moses why did God let me fall on my face
because there was too much Dante in
Dante and you can also put your name in
the example because it would be a great
example the
motivations and moses’ intentions they
were Noble I insist but his character
wasn’t ready for the demands of the
mission and God doesn’t just bless good
intentions you can’t say well they had
good intentions no God doesn’t bless
just intentions I wanted to se for God
God knows that if I had money I would
give it no God won’t bless an
intention or what you could have done no
God doesn’t bless
hypotheticals no no no God knows that I
would go and serve in Africa if I had
the time I would be the first one to go
that doesn’t count for God you didn’t go
it’s a
hypothetical it’s not something that I
would do that’s the great failure of
many evangelicals that write on social
media they say why don’t you go here
that’s what I would do well why aren’t
you doing it why aren’t you helping your
Neighbor Next Door why don’t you give
the Asian neighbor Next Door by giving
them some rice help them when they’re
hungry but no you want to help people on
other continents God doesn’t bless good
intentions so when Moses kills the
Egyptian it was clear that he was acting
under his own judgment not under God’s
plan and there were aspects of his
character that God had to
polish in such a way that God signs him
up into the University of character at
the desert
Branch with the
postgrad of trans of personal
transformation God is always interested
in our character more than our
success more than our
circumstances that doesn’t mean that God
doesn’t want this world to be this year
to be good for us God wants us to
Triumph but more than that he wants to
forge our character so that we can
manage what he wants to give us are we
in agreement yes or no he has to forge
us so that we can sustain that
right there there are people that if God
allowed them to be famous then God would
lose them there are people that if God
allowed them to have more money he would
lose them there are people that aren’t
ready because they lose control
immediately and you might say well who
doesn’t lose control well those of us
that have fallen on our face a lot those
of us that have stumbled many times so
from the promise to the Fulfillment
there is always a transition
and this is a word that we’re going to
mention a lot this year transition from
the promise to the Fulfillment
process the majority of us don’t fail in
believing God but we fail in waiting for
the process and we want everything to be
now Lord give me patience and give it to
me now no it won’t
happen because God has to place us in a
process you know why there are so many
divisions amongst us the Evangelical
people
people because we spend our time
disputing who has the real franchise and
US evangelicals Place everything under a
single phrase look I’m not I’m not I’m
not criticizing others I’m criticizing
ourselves we have the famous phrase God
told me and period not even we’re sure
that God said it but you know just in
case God said to me or God showed me
that’s another level oh last night uh
God showed me that I have to uh I have
to go um my love I have to go kill your
mother God showed
me God sent me oh God sent me well why
are you doing that well because I obey
God we always say that we’re under
Authority as long as we agree with that
Authority as soon as we’re displeased
with something and don’t look at me with
that face as if to say oh no I come from
Switzerland I don’t know no this is
something that all Hispanics
have someone said amen glory to God that
is a sinner came here
today as soon as we don’t like something
then we open up our small Church our
small denomination in our own Doctrine
you know how many denominations there
are
officially there’s 33,000
denominations they all believe they’re
going to be the only ones in heaven
33,000 without counting the hundreds
that open up their churches with no
denomination we sometimes criticize we
shouldn’t but we criticize the Catholic
church for many reasons but the Catholic
church has a hierarchy it starts with
the Deacon look at look at the career
you have to
have some say oh I I dream of being the
pup no it’s it’s not that it’s not like
that you’re going to be a potato not the
pope so you
first you’re a deacon then priest then
Bishop Archbishop Metropolitan primates
Cardinal major Archbishop
patriarch the
primate the Presbyterian Cardinal the
bishop Cardinal and finally our beloved
Argentinian the
pope now look at that whole
career I’m not judging any any doctrines
before anyone stoos me I started the
year well right what a way to
Kickstart but we can never never ever
ever talk about the errors of the
Catholics will never ever see an altar
boy that disagrees with the with the
with
the parish priest so he goes and opens
his own Chapel around the corner no
right scripturally speaking we can all
speak to
God but we go to The Other Extreme and
so since God speaks to us directly that
gives us a li to say God sent me God s
to me and period it’s not up for debate
it’s not up for discussion as long as
you say God spoke to me God told me not
to pay you
period yeah but you have a debt with me
yeah you know what I feel like paying
you but God said no don’t pay him so
that he can learn look at
that and all of a sudden under that
umbrella of God said to
me you don’t go through any
test for your
character we’re in congruent with
biblical biblical foundations I’m not a
guy that will say if you leave my my
coverage no I don’t believe in
that in all these years of this
Christian walk this Christian pilgrimage
I’ve gotten to know many people with
genuine callings that have failed rotund
or
robustly because they went without being
sent they didn’t
wait and what what I’m about to say to
you is as real as a law of gravity God’s
principles work and it’s impossible to
violate
them God’s principles work if I throw
this Bible here and it’ll fall here to
the ground it’ll fall in Australia and
in China the law of gravity Works
anywhere around the world and in all
these years I’ve seen people leaving a
company or leave their family leave
their country leave a Ministry with good
reason with good intentions but the way
in which they
left creating Discord or creating
division they end up not harvesting in
their own lives because it’s a natural
law there are people that change
churches change jobs because they’re
tired of living under Authority but
wherever we go we’re going to be under
Authority Always we’re always going to
have authority over us we’re under a
denomination the Assembly of God I’m
under Authority I can’t do whatever I
want we’re all always going to be under
Authority no matter where we go and when
we leave any place and this is I I felt
like teaching you this I’m not teaching
it from the perspective of oh I’ve never
been through it no I’ve suffered through
this I’m like the the parent that
doesn’t want their child to go through
the same thing when you leave a place
without honoring we’re going to harvest
dis honor no matter where we
go when you don’t honor your children
then as as as you’re older you’re going
to harvest this honor when you don’t
honor your parents then you won’t
receive honor from your
children I’ve never seen someone try and
divide a congregation start their own
church and not Harvest dozens of their
own divisions I’ve spoken with Pastor
friends that have said I’ve already have
50 divisions at the
church and I asked well how did you
leave your other church and they say no
well the pastor did this that and the
other so I ran for my life well then
there it is it’s a natural law it never
fails it’s a natural law like sewing and
harvesting Jacob leaves his his
father-in-law’s home leban this is a
fabulous biblical story he escapes in
the night out of fear that his
father-in-law won’t bless him and in
Genesis 3127 his father-in-law reaches
him and he says why did you run off
secretly and deceive me
he hadn’t stolen anything but he felt
that he had stolen his
honor why didn’t you tell me that you
wanted to run away son-in-law I would
have sent you on your way with joy and
tambourines and
harps you didn’t allow me to say goodbye
to my daughters or my grandchildren you
acted like a like a fool like an
imbecile and Jacob received this
reprimand so when we leave without being
sent
we leave with very sharp edges of our
character that will eventually be
polished here or there I like it when
God polishes my character in Intimacy in
the closet while I’m praying he says
change this change that and man doesn’t
hurt but it hurts more when it’s done
publicly I want it to be done in
secret God waited many year or David
waited many years to be king even though
he knew he was he was going to be called
to be King and King Saul was already too
old or too weak to be a
monarch and while he waited the process
of the transition he learned a series of
lessons that molded his character and
that’s something that us Hispanics need
to
learn and you don’t have someone
preaching to you that says oh in
heaven they they don’t speak Spanish no
I’m Hispanic too I’m more Hispanic
because I was born way down south the
further south you go the more Hispanic
you are the closer to Antarctica you’re
you are the more Hispanic you are that’s
it’s one of our weaknesses it’s a
cultural
syndrome we have the tendency that when
we don’t like something we disappear and
we don’t leave any
Trace we’re like Batman we go Voom vo
vo and we have to
learn that when we’re going to abandon a
job or a position at a certain
company go to the authority it doesn’t
matter if they were if they were fools
or scammers I’m talking about what we
want to harvest and tell your Authority
I’m considering making a change it
doesn’t matter that in this country they
fire you on a Friday at 5:00 p.m. and
they say sorry I’m so sorry security
please and they carry you out that’s who
they are I’m not going to change my
character because of the world that
surrounds me everyone gives from what
they
have I’m in a neighborhood where nobody
greets you nobody it doesn’t matter
every time I go out to the mailbox or
take out the trash I say good morning
good morning morning and I say one day
they’ll say it
back and they look at
me because when Americans go out and
walk with their dogs they don’t like to
be greeted but where I come from my mom
would say you need to greet
them because I want to walk through the
neighborhood with my head held up high
and I don’t want people to say that
you’re uneducated
and so now I say hi to even Shadows
because I I don’t want to be uneducated
and I have a neighbor that goes out with
her dogs and she never greets anyone and
if she can she’ll throw her dogs to you
I’ll say good morning good morning hi
hey and she’s never answered me not even
until
now but she will one day even if it’s in
heaven maybe she’ll get to heaven and
say oh he’s who used to say hi to me or
maybe if she goes to heaven I don’t know
but I won’t change for others where I
come from I don’t change due to my
surroundings I won’t say oh if people
around me are uneducated I’ll become an
educator no so go up to your your boss
and even if they’re a scammer say you
know what I’m considering leaving at the
end of the month look for a replacement
if you have to or go to our pastor or
leader and say of
honoring you for so many years if I was
here for so long it’s because I thought
you were a good pastor but maybe I
changed my opinion now but so many years
of service and loyalty I want you to
help me and pray to see if it’s time to
go to a different place ushers have left
here giving their name tag as if to say
here take my badge and my gun and they
leave and they say what do you mean they
left yeah they left and they don’t tell
you where then you see them on social
media that they’re at another church
doing something else and who’s going to
stop them hey I feel like going
somewhere else a smaller church or a
different place and wait for the
blessing it’s not the same as saying hey
I’m
leaving I tend to ask people are you
asking for my blessing or an advice or
are you communicating it to me isn’t
that what US parents do sometimes hey
are you asking for permission or are you
letting me know because it’s not the
same thing to say hey I’m leaving and
they
leave no it’s asking for a blessing and
say I’m considering leaving who’s going
to stop you well you’re going to leave
all the same right maybe we have the
right calling but we have to understand
how to make the changes so record the
spiritual principle don’t burn Bridges
anywhere you never know when you’ll need
it in the
future one day you’ll want to cross that
bridge you’re going to need that
reference don’t burn bridges in what
respects you the Lord says be in peace
with all
men let me tell you a little a
little a few secrets we still have some
time in these 15 years that we’ve been a
church many people have left River to
develop their own Ministries and that’s
healthy in the majority of cases it’s
very
healthy I’m no one to doubt anyone’s
personal calling I can’t say God only
speaks to me but he can’t speak to you
no I would be going against what I
preach but what determines them doing
well or
[Music]
not whether they fail or not there’s one
thing that that determines it anytime
someone leaves and I even write it on a
piece of paper and I have eyewitnesses
that I do it I always take a little
napkin because I’m very conservative in
in a few things and I always do the same
thing I take a napkin or a paper and I
write it down so that they can keep it
with them maybe later they’ll use it as
toilet paper I have no clue but I give
it to them I look at the person in their
eyes and I say I know your vision is
noble and I
rejoice and in the beginning you’re
going
to see that starting a business or a
Ministry is
simple because everything always looks
easy from the outside it’s like going to
eat at a good restaurant and saying my
dream is to have my own who hasn’t said
that before oh how beautiful I have my
own picture frames and paintings I
already have the logo and the idea and
the
menu I’ll take each one of those
dreamers and take them all to the
kitchen for a few minutes so that they
can see what that hell and chaos is
during peak hours where everyone comes
for dinner when they say this is what I
asked for this is an almond milk go and
milk the Almond itself when that happens
to you and you’re in the kitchen you
feel like going out and killing everyone
like
[Music]
Rambo and you say I’ll get locked up but
at least I’ll do what I want you dream
because you see the elegant part the the
tables the food and I say this is it’s
the same thing you have every intention
to do things right and you’ll say this
well I’ll do the same thing that I saw
if you want to be a pastor then I’ll
dress more or less like you I’ll say
some similar phrases the multitudes will
follow me I’ll have resources I’ll I’ll
travel through the world we all want
that but as the days go
by you begin to realize that the Lord
signed you up for the University of
character and everything’s uphill when
the resources don’t arrive when you
close your eyes and you see no one came
I’ve lived those moments where you don’t
want to open your eyes and you say Lord
we want to worship you but you don’t you
actually just don’t want to open your
eyes cuz you don’t want to see how few
people there
are when your business isn’t what you
dreamed the enemy and I say this to the
person that leaves whoever leaves I say
the enemy is going to try and take you
down the shortcut of
Dishonor and you’re going to try and
recruit people that you left behind that
you couldn’t take with you at this point
they always interrupt me and they say no
no no Pastor I’ll never do that but I
answer and I say yes you will do it it’s
a
pattern when your character can no
longer sustain or hold up the process
you’re going to try and take a harvest
that isn’t yours if you
worked as a slave in someone else’s
field when you decide to leave that
assignment you can’t harvest the grain
from the seed that you planted that
belongs to the owner of the
field that belongs to the position that
you held not you as an individual so by
the love of God as much as you want for
your own good don’t take the the road of
Dishonor and when I warn them they
always look at me as if I’m trying to
say to them oh don’t steal one of my
sheep and I always clarify look they’re
not my sheep I didn’t die on the cross
for anyone I always say the same thing
and on top of it all no sheep allows to
be stolen who wakes up in the morning
and says oh I woke up in
saddleback but didn’t you go to River
yeah but they stole
me that’s not Dante that’s my I was
stolen no that that doesn’t
happen if you want to be stolen then
yeah I guess you’ll be
stolen however it’s a spiritual
principle God always honors Authority
and let me tell you what happens next
and this happens in almost every church
around the world and colleagues will
confirm it colleagues that are being
healed with this message right
now some maybe the least of them don’t
burn Bridges nor do they dishonor
Authority that they were under for a
long
time these are the people that prosper
and
grow if they have nothing good to say
they don’t say anything you don’t have
to be saying good things hypocritically
you have nothing good to say you don’t
say anything these are the people that
when they have to go to back to a a
business or or or a a company or a
Ministry they left good character good
testimony but then there are others that
try and speak with others to divide and
recruit they always manage to gather a
group never more than 20 people that
believe in that Messianic
Vision but there are people that can
either follow us because they love what
we love or because they hate what we
hate in the best of cases they’ll remain
because love and
hate can keep people together but the
other option is
hate can also gather
votes but it’s a corrosive combustible
that can’t gather anyone for a long time
there are presidential candidates that
reach the presidency by gathering
votes due to hate to the to the last
government the
last Administration but if this new
Administration doesn’t have a purpose
for the future hate won’t take them very
far hate doesn’t gather people for a
long time and in spirituality it’s the
same we can gather
here due the love of God or hate for the
devil or fear of the
devil how many churches are there like
that if you stop tithing and sewing then
Satan will come to your home people say
no no no let me give some money well how
long can that last so you can recruit
people out of love for the Flaming new
pastor that has a possibility to grow
or out of hate for the old pastor an old
congregation they left
behind and that bad motivation is you
leaping into catastrophe let’s never get
out of the boat unless we know the Lord
is calling
us especially because we’re not going to
walk upon calm Caribbean Waters no it’s
a frizzy
sea having children is is a frizzy sea
getting married is a frizzy sea starting
a Ministry is a frizzy sea so if we
decide to get off the boat it’s best
that the Lord is there with us are you
with me
and now you say well what can I do now
that I’m in the desert I already messed
up or I’m in the middle of the sea
drowning one thing you don’t want to do
is try to cut the experience in in the
desert short one of the main reasons as
to why God places us there is to deal
with us so we’ll never grow in our faith
if we
continue lacking in our character so
instead of praying so that the Lord
shortens the duration of our difficult
times we have to say Lord help me to
learn quickly from this experience
that’s how Asians pray I was told that
Koreans never Pray by saying Lord take
away the problem they say Lord what do
you want me to learn from this problem
so that this problem can go away 40
years later we find a Moses that’s so
different he was about to graduate from
the desert
Campus of the University of character he
was confident he was almost Argentinian
he wanted to set his people free but
then he had become
humble his first son was named gersam
and that means I am a stranger in a
different land us immigrants know that
we’re not from here or from there
definitively that lack of belonging is
what Moses felt he named his other son
elizer the god of my father helped me
and he freed me from Pharaoh’s
sword you know he never said
he was so discouraged that he didn’t say
my God he said the god of my father he
felt that God was so far that he didn’t
even say my God so later on once Moses
finally becomes the Freer of his people
numbers 123 says now Moses was a very
humble man more humble than anyone else
on the face of the Earth more humble
than anyone else the desert had changed
them like
that in his corrective classes of the
University of character he was
transformed tested and then sent
out God had been with Moses the whole
time remodeling him for the
future and what he believed was
abandonment was preparation and process
we can’t confuse preparation with God
abandoning you no God was forming you he
is forming you for a great vision and
now Moses was a silhouette of that man
that had taken God’s matters into his
own hands and he tried to explain to God
why he wasn’t ready Moses said you know
what I would love it I love this Moses
said God I’m not ready who am I to do
this who who who who am I going to say
sent me then he says but what if they
don’t believe me but remember that I
don’t have an ease with words I I
stutter and he says please send someone
else how
interesting when Moses considered
himself adequate to free his people God
said
useless decades later when he considered
himself useless God says now you’re
ready for the mission
he
graduated he transformed himself into a
humble man ready to
serve in complete dependence of the Lord
that’s what I want all of us to live in
this year of
transition maybe like me when I was
22 you did something you thought you
were sent and you did something to
embarrass yourself and you thought that
God would back you with that personal
project project or whatever it was if
that’s true don’t try and evade God’s
process he’s going to process you he’s
going to prepare you he’s going to use
that mistake to mold you he’s going to
use that error to make of you a humble
person and I believe I received this
message on behalf of the
Lord with my Gaze on a on a determined
public I think he gave me this message
for the
broken the one that’s tired of the
desert the one that’s exhausted for
those that are carrying the shameful
burden of a bad decision and they change
that luggage from hand to hand to deal
with the weight they can’t do it anymore
this message is for those that have weak
knees for the
weak for those that have that feel that
they haven’t accom that they didn’t
accomplish anything in the last
year for the sinful men and women with
with
defects with limited talents this
message
goes to the clay vessels that advance
but they’re made of clay for the bent
over for the injured for those that feel
that their life continuously disappoints
God but it’s also for the sincere
disciples that
admit that they’re fools that they’re
imbeciles this is a message for all
those that have felt discouraged and
tired but fundamentally for those of us
that shouldn’t
forget that with the promise that God
gave you the process is coming are we in
agreement
let’s remember that from the process
from from the promise to the Fulfillment
there will be a
transition and like Moses when you say
I’m ready Lord God says no you’re still
inadequate I’m not going to run the risk
of losing you by sending you this way
and when you say yeah I’m good for
nothing I’ve tried it all I don’t think
God can do anything with me that’s where
God sees us and says you’re ready for my
mission that’s what I wanted complete
dep
dependence May 2024 be the transition my
beloved of the promise that you have to
the Victory and above all things may
this be the best year of Our Lives
because we’re going to graduate from the
University of character and we’re going
to close one season one period to begin
another one does someone believe it say
amen hallelujah give a grand Applause to
the
Lord in this first message of the year
blessed be
God come on celebrate the king of glory
and say Lord You’ve spoken to me once
again how the lord loves
you how can he not love you if he didn’t
love you he wouldn’t speak to you this
way how the lord loves you Hallelujah
someone needs to celebrate more than
that the King has spoken to your life
today
impressive
how many say I receive it in my
heart and I want to pray for all those
people on the other side that have
accompanied us the whole year well the
year that just left us and God willing
will continue to accompany us as long as
they have to especially for those that
are weary due to bad
decisions it’s true that this
congregation we have many new people and
others that came from other
congregations maybe it’s the moment to
say maybe you have to make a phone call
if they decide to not give you a
blessing then that’s not your problem
but you should say I want to finish
every season well and if somebody’s
going to close a season close it in
blessing know to get off the wave with
Elegance in the right moment that’s the
great secret of maturity of character
facing if someone has debts and they
can’t face them
yet there’s a way of honoring your debts
the oldfashioned way my dad would say
show your face it’s marvelous it’s
better than not answering the phone or
not speaking to them by saying you’re
busy or saying you’re not there no just
give your face and say I’m going to pay
you I don’t know
how but I’m going to pay you man have I
got had to go through that it hurts it’s
shameful it’s embarrassing they’ve said
I’m going to sue you I’m going to bring
a
lawsuit and this was during a Time where
I was traveling around the world to pay
off those debts but I would say I’m
going to pay you I don’t know how or
when but look at me in the eyes I’m a
man of faith I won’t hide because
someone is going to embarrass me and say
this person left me with
deaths no I’m just saying this is what
I’ve learned through pain so as
Hispanics and everyone that’s watching
from different parts of the world we
have to learn to always take the the the
route of honor the Road of Honor
sometimes it’s shameful sometimes it’s
painful but always always always always
it brings a harvest of Honor always the
road of honor is leaving the right way
even when we don’t agree with things
even if when we don’t like certain
things leaving the right way finishing
things right I know there are many
people that have gotten divorced and
they have terrible relationships because
sometimes the ex doesn’t necessarily
believe things the way or understand
things the way you understand them but
even even then you have to say
Lord in my respects I’m going to give
honor it doesn’t matter if on the other
side there’s insult and and abuse no
you’re going to give what you have like
the story of that neighbor that would
throw trash to her over the wall to her
neighbor but the other neighbor would
throw back
flowers and the and the other neighbor
the the the woman said why are you
throwing flowers to me and and the man
said well because I throw what I have I
have flowers you say my character won’t
change because of those that have bad
character or bad politicians or scammers
or bad bad preachers or pastors my life
doesn’t depend on the pastor spiritual
life or the Integrity of those that sit
in the Oval
Office or those that lead our countries
in Latin America we are what we are and
we’re going where we’re going and here
in the US it’s not that we
don’t Litter because Americans look at
us bad no wherever we go even if there’s
a dump we’ll look for a trash can a
trash been because it’s part of all C
part of our culture moving forward part
of our character part of who we are
where I come from you have to say I
learned to bless where I come from we
don’t tolerate gossip not only do I not
speak it I don’t listen to it I don’t
want gossip to be deposited in me where
I come from we serve the Lord and if one
day God takes you out of river no matter
what you do say in that time I learned
to bless others I want to be known by
how I love by how I bless by how I sow
and then they’ll know that you have a
God that everyone will want to know
that’s
character may they speak about your life
and your
attitude may your attitude speak louder
than your words what if we say Lord mold
us but careful because he will mold you
you will be molded but don’t be scared
oh no I don’t know if I should ask for
it no say Lord I want to finish
2024 December of
2024 I want to be a better person than
what I am now do you want to trust in
the Lord look there’s just a few that
that even dare do you dare to trust in
the Lord’s dealings with you yes or
no there we
go in my country they say you’re
scared do they use this in Mexico as
well they say
hey your heart is fluttering like
this Lord I’m going to trust in you I’m
not saying send me tests no but Lord I
trust that you’re going to be the best
teacher this year I want to have a
better character and I know that you’re
the only one that can mold me lift up
your hands we’re going to pray father
thank you for this morning thank you for
the morning afternoon or night no matter
where they’re watching Lord I’ve spoken
what I believe you told me to tell these
people and now that this word has been
Led Out seal it with your Holy Spirit
Lord we’re willing to have you deal with
us take the sharp edges from our
character I know that there are still
things that need to die and we can’t
kill them we can’t apply euthanasia
spiritually but you can eliminate
remove
exterminate what is a Sur plusus what
doesn’t please your name what doesn’t
exalt Your Glory take away the dark
parts of our lives Lord we begin a
process to become better and we’re not
going to confuse process with
abandonment because you love us because
you speak to us because you have us
sculpted in your hands and there isn’t
anyone that can take us from your hands
thank you Lord I pray for those that are
receiving the Lord now for the first
time those that say come into my life
change my heart transform my mind Lord
I’ve spoken what I believe he told me to
tell these people without my own private
opinions or personal opinions without
any hidden agendas I’ve said without
adding or removing what I believe is
your Revelation this first letter for
the Church of Christ in the world this
messenger has given the letter and is
free of each word and each transition
and each conviction or what each person
will do father I’m free of this word
from here on now this living word that
has leted out logos that becomes a a
challenge and from here on out it will
be flesh it’ll be a part of the dynamic
of each person’s
life I let out your blessing I believe
it I declare it and in this January of
2024 let us be blessed in the body in
the soul and in the spirit amen amen and
amen glory to
Jesus what a
prayer say with me I receive it
