ENGLISH Dante Gebel #865 | The Gospel of Poseidon

When the Lord says, “He who humbles himself will be exalted”, He is saying that we are responsible for our own humility. The big problem to solve is that we have to achieve humility without feeling proud of having humbled ourselves, and learn to confess our sins voluntarily, without being confronted. There is nothing that replaces our humiliation before God. Anyone who insists on rising and becoming someone is actually sinking to the bottom of the sea. And anyone who decides to descend into the depths of humility is actually rising to the surface and saving his life.

Celebration here we want to be very very

believe God told me to tell you but

before two

things that I believe are very important

just as we announced last Sunday today

the signups open up for River class so

not an option I think more than an

obligation it’s a right that God gives

us to be able to access his word to be

last stop on this tour here in the US

our prante tour it’s a 2hour 20 minute

conference almost two and a half hours

we’ve gone through all the states I

think probably the most important ones

in the US don’t feel bad if I didn’t

mention your if we didn’t visit your

state because you’re also very important

but we went to Washington Chicago we

went to New

York we went to the entire Texon Coast

Tour

and a couple weeks we’re going back to

Argentina then Peru then Bolivia then

Chile then Panama then we’ll be going

through all of Spain but this is

Charlotte we have the first images in

North Carolina a few images of what was

happening in

Charlotte I believe it shows a bit of

the

spirit the hunger of the people lining

up from very early on I send a greeting

to all the people that are watching us

now I always promise them that on Sunday

I’m going to to send them a

greeting the theater was filled it was

marvelous that Auditorium in Charlotte

North

Carolina it was completely sold

out a few tickets were were still

available right before the event but

they sold out at the box office so we

started at 8:30 p.m. finished at almost

11: but it was marvelous what we lived

in North Carolina in Charlotte it was a

rainy

day how it is right now in North

Carolina but it was a rainy day even

then it didn’t stop the people they’re

used to the Rain they’re used to

inclement weather and snow so this was

North Carolina so we send a special

greeting to all the people that were at

this conference this was on Wednesday of

this past

week the next day we traveled to

Atlanta the home of

Coca-Cola and it was truly marvelous of

course because we didn’t know that there

were so many Hispanic people so many

marvelous people lining up very

early we had never been in Atlanta until

this week it was the last stop here in

the US for this

tour until God gives us another project

another assignment but it was also

marvelous there were four levels four

decks and they were all completely full

Atlanta people had purchased their

tickets a month in advance they had sold

out a month in advance and the

conference was

marvelous this was on Thursday Thursday

night we had to start a little later at

about 900 p.m. we finished almost at

midnight the people were laughing crying

they were moved many people that didn’t

know the

Lord amongst them atheists from many

different religions many

Catholics that in present themselves as

such but they’re there receiving the

message opening up their hearts spending

a very marvelous moment with us so I

show these pictures just because I know

that you’re always praying for my health

for for the team’s

strength so that God can always give us

His Marvelous

favor thank you for being so faithful

and a greeting to all those that are

watching in Charlotte and the people

from Atlanta a very special greeting may

the Lord bless you very

much very well are we ready say with me

I’m

ready say I’m ready and at home as well

I know that you’re ready to receive this

message on this very special

Sunday I always say that I’ve been Rich

for as long as I can remember with the

exception of having lived many years

with no

money but wealth has nothing to do with

your bank account or with monetary

terms feeling

wealthy is when you can shower daily

when you can have two to three meals a

day and thank God I’ve always lived that

and just like a beloved poet and

Argentinian musician

said he said the wealthy aren’t those

that have the most but those that need

the least those are the wealthy but

despite those long

decades in which we didn’t have a single

dollar

God always made sure that I would fly in

private jets that others would pay for

of course he made sure that I went to

sophisticated dinners I met me many

famous millionaires I presented myself

before many professionals doctors

dentists

professors I got to know many exotic

countries I stayed at glamorous hotels

and they even assigned me a presidential

escort a special greeting to Mr buele if

he’s watching

the Lord has been

marvelous well it’s also happened in

other countries but the most recent was

was there and all this without me paying

a single

dollar God always provided a

host that made sure all those details

were were available and I remember the

first time in my

life when at one of those glamorous

hotels I wore a white robe that was very

soft the ones that are hanging that you

can put on while you stay at the hotel

and they have the initials of a very

famous hotel I felt like Donald

Trump because that robe was the symbol

of the entire experience right I had

only seen it in James Bond

films and when you put on that rope with

the

initials you know that by just picking

up the hotel phone you can order a 4×4

Burger Lobster sui or an Argentinian

steak 24 hours we’re not going to ask

for Adas if we’re staying at a hotel

like this right if that’s what you might

have been thinking if if you were

thinking burritos no it’s a hotel with

Argentinian steak when you preach you

can give whatever example you

want and it’s not brought by a waiter

who looks like

trumpas that you might be thinking hm

did he try my food on the way here no

it’s a gentleman dressed in a tuxedo

with white

gloves that comes to your

room with a little card on wheels that

then becomes a table with many dish

covers ovens within the car so that the

food can remain warm and before he

leaves he opens up your beverage and he

says enjoy

mure so putting on that robe means that

you can walk calmly all the way to the

spa and enjoy a an a relaxing massage

what’s more is you can leave your wet

towels on the floor not only will they

not punish you

but a cleaner will come and replace

those towels for

clean towels that smell like a good

fragrance they’ll leave you some

sparkling water as well and some

chocolates on your pillow

wow so that robe means I’m being

spoiled they’re tending to me I take

care of myself I’m my best friend I’m

the best person ever when you have that

robe on that robe with initials nobody

suspects that you’re poor no

one maybe the person that brought you

the food suspects it because they see

your face looking around in

astonishment but nobody asks you where

you come from or who’s paying for that

presidential sweet nobody asks but at

least for one night you feel like a

Cinderella or a Welsh prince in my case

I know you’re all

thinking that is life that’s what real

life

is because even though someone else is

paying for the Sensation that we feel is

I deserve something like that it was

time for me to think about myself I know

there are mothers thinking that one day

I’m going to do it one day I’m going to

think about myself because we all like

to be

served we all like to have our desires

and our needs

satisfied

my dad used to say that some were born

in Golden cribs and they were used to

comfort to luxury but

others they were able to access that

luxury in their adult life they

considered them my dad sorry considered

them resurrected lice or fleas and now

more than ever we agree

that it moves us to celebrate the

resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ

it’s a celebration the atmosphere is all

about an open Tomb a victory final

Victory before we connected to the live

stream we worshiped we praised we’re

saying but sometimes we forget that in

order to rise you first have to die if

not you can’t rise you can’t go to the

open Tomb without going through the

cross it’s to say in my father’s words

in order to be a risen

flee first you have to be willing to be

a dead fle if not you can’t

rise the famous sermon of the mount the

Lord said in Matthew

blessed are those who are humble for

they will inherit the whole earth those

who are joyous those who are humble

because they will

inherit and when we hear these words in

the 21st century it sounds weird we say

wait

really really The Humble are the ones

that will inh the Earth because to us it

always seems like those that win are all

the

executives the rock stars Hollywood

Stars celebrities

millionaires in

fact there is no day for the humble on

any calendar nobody commemorates The

Humble however Jesus insists with this

idea and he

says

everyone

who who who exalts themselves will be

humbled and those who humble themselves

will be

exalted so those that are almost

invisible those that are not noticed

will have their great

day while the proud who shout and yell

and and feel entitled they will be

humbled there’s two promises two

promises The Humble will be

exalted and those that exalt themselves

will be humbled there are two promises

there

Jesus says that in order to go up you

have to go you have to go down to go up

you have to descend and in Luke

18 Jesus shares a story that exemplifies

this Paradox of the reverse Kingdom

we’re going the opposite of the whole

planet of the whole

globe he shares it in a story of two men

where one of them is a

Pharisee people back then admired the

Pharisees because they were important

important man Even though nowadays the

word seems almost

insulting back then a Pharisee was a

doctor of the law a

reverend they were committed to the

Hebrew

law they tended to be educated men

influential Illustrated with very high

positions and the extreme

opposite was another man another subject

in Jesus’s story a tax collector it

would be

unfair to compare these Tax Collectors

with an IRS agent maybe we have someone

that works for the IRS here today or

maybe somebody

works for the tax collection agency and

whatever

country because not only in these

days back in those days the tax

collector

worked for the Roman Empire

not only that but the tax collector

could also keep a good portion of what

they collected so basically the one that

worked for the

Romans as a Jew he was a he was a he had

betrayed his people and he was a slave

to the

Romans as long as the Roman Empire kept

what belonged to them the Empire allowed

the tax collector to keep their their

share so in this story the religious man

and the tax collector both go into the

temple in Jesus Story one of of them is

the type of person that you would point

at and tell your child hey when you’re

older you should be just like him look

how he he loves the Bible he prays you

should imitate him the other person is

the person you show your child while you

say hey make sure you stay away from

people like this every time you see this

person walk the other

way and what crowd was Jesus sharing the

story with well in Luke

18:9 we have a hint

just before Jesus begins his story it

says then Jesus told this story to some

who had great confidence in their own

righteousness and scorned everyone

else this story has a why and it has a

it has a target audience when you read

this you might say ah well I thought

this story was for

me but now that you’re saying that there

were people that undervalued their

neighbors then I know who I can share

this sermon with if Jesus is going to

speak to the proud then I know of you I

know that that’s crossed our

minds this sermon would be great for

these proud people that I know

however when we attribute these

adjectives to

others it makes us a part of that

audience that Jesus is speaking to

because

when it’s a hard message we always

assume that it’s a message for the

person sitting next to us and we say oh

finally this sermon is going to touch

this SM person sitting next to me but

you know what don’t turn and look to the

person next to you

now oh may the Lord have mercy on this

person’s

soul few times do we say oh this is

speaking to me few times do we say

that and that’s called plain and simple

projection it’s a very popular word in

this new century because of the

developing

psychology we should be brutally honest

with ourselves but we always project

unto others guilt is always out there

not within us we always want to blame

others I don’t know if you’ve noticed

but for every product that we

buy as simple as it may be it has a

caution warning you noticed matter how

simple it is it comes with a little

label of caution and I don’t know if you

knew

this but all those labels all those tags

even if they seem silly foolish dumb

unnecessary it seems like they almost

insult our

intelligence they’re legally required

due to the fact that somebody once sued

the company for not having that

tag so behind each tag there’s someone

that did someone there’s someone some

that did something foolish and then they

blame the company or the

product the shampoo alerts you don’t put

it in your eyes it could irritate them

so before that label was there there was

someone that said oh shampoo is so good

for washing my

eyes and they sued the company with red

eyes and then the company put the

label and baby car seats it says please

move the infant before you put the cart

away that means that there was a

parent who put the car seat away with

the child still in it and they sued the

company for not instructing them that

they should remove the child

first costumes like Zoros have a label

that

say this cape doesn’t make you fly

really

first of all Zoro doesn’t

fly

unless he had a a father that said go

fly my

Superman but a 12-year-old child

probably got on a balcony jumped

off trying to fly through the air with

the cape and a mother said oh how can it

occur to them to sell a cape that isn’t

have a caution warning no your son

should have a caution warning on his

forehead saying dummy and and maybe get

rid of that

cape in the

airport on the

luggage carousel it says please do not

sit

here who did it who did it occur to

after sitting on a plane for 8 hours let

me sit here who did that occur to so

they put that sign or at the gas station

please don’t smoke

here who said ah well nothing’s gonna

happen

man who

in hotel

showers it says very hot water can burn

you

really oh good thing I saw that it seems

like somebody probably sued the

hotel or inside motorcycle helmets I’m

not lying it says place it on your head

not your elbow I’m not even lying oh

it’s a good thing because I forgot where

my brain was here or there or electric

electronic knives or saws don’t try and

stop it with your hand it seems like

someone said and tried to stop

it who inspired that label I want to get

to know that

person on rap poison it says this could

be lethal for your

pet who sued the company by saying hey

were you’re saying that it kills rats

but you never told me that I couldn’t

use it to I couldn’t use it to feed my

dog with the poison or on the

suppository please do not swallow it

orally

it seems like somebody sued the company

because they didn’t like the flavor but

that was the wrong

entrance

so our

society has

developed a masterful strategy to blame

others for their own stupid

decisions and that’s more ancient in

time itself the first man said the man

the woman you gave me as a partner gave

me this fruit and I ate

it you know I always have my mouth open

like this and they gave me something to

eat I’m like

hippopotamuses that catch peanuts it

wasn’t my fault when you created her you

should have placed a label on her that

says caution something like don’t eat

anything that this crazy woman offers

something like

that it’s her

fault the first woman says something

similar hey the serpent deceived me and

I ate

it and so the snake should come along

with the sign that says ignore

everything I say I work the same way

like a mother-in-law ignore

me so when both were confronted instead

of being brutally honest both blamed

someone else instead of accepting

responsibility we blame others

well I know it was wrong to lie on my

tax return but if I pay everything the

government asks for I don’t have enough

for my

bills I know it was wrong to disrespect

disrespect my husband but he brings out

the worst in me he frustrates me I knew

it was wrong for me to raise my voice

and I lost control and I yelled at my

wife but you can’t imagine the childhood

that I had and how I was raised it was

worse than this

and of course parents are always an easy

target to project your blame

onto US children say they should have

come with the caution

label and now for this Easter holiday I

had I had classmates whose parents would

buy them enormous chocolate eggs and

inside there were toys surprises and and

cars but they would just buy me a

miserable little

egg with a suspicious

purple chocolate that always came empty

it was

Hollow and my dad would say son if the

egg is empty it’s because it symbolizes

the Lord’s tomb on the morning of his

resurrection no it’s not spiritual it’s

tragic now it doesn’t make sense for me

to say I hate Easter because I’m my

father’s eggs oh wait I’m sorry that

sounded terrible I know we’ll edit that

out

what I’m trying to

say is that it’s

marvelous see I can’t preach this way

come

on it’s marvelous when we ask for

forgiveness without seeking to justify

ourselves and that’s what God expects

from us when we go to him right not a

prayer that contains thousands of

excuses but no just the truth short

direct to the point pragmatic simple to

be able to say I am a sinner like that I

am a

sinner it’s not because of how they

raised me or who I married it’s not

because I lack money it’s not the

government’s fault I am a sinner I mess

up because it’s in my nature that’s the

prayer that God

wants not for us to blame someone that’s

something that comes from the times of

Adam and Eve and in this story Jesus is

speaking to a crowd that

thinks that Jesus is directing himself

to another crowd not them but Jesus

tells them about these two men that

enter the

temple the both have gone into pray

which is very normal the

Pharisee a respected religious

man elevates a prayer says the Lord and

says I thank you God that I am not like

other

people cheaters sinners

adulterers I’m

certainly not like that tax

collector I fast twice a

week and I give you a tenth of my

income it’s obvious that while he’s

Closing one eye to pray he keeps the

other one open to spy on the tax

collector because in the prayer he’s

saying I’m not like that guy there the

Pharisees were obsessed with religious

rules and that’s why they were all like

a patrol unit for other people’s

Holiness they policed other people’s

thoughts they were always

seeking to catch the people in in in in

their mistakes I was reading a fragment

of a marvelous

novel there’s an episode in heaven but

it’s so chilling the author says that

the

righteous reach the doors of Heaven

about to enter they’re sure that they’re

going to find their VIP

seat seats that have been

reserved suddenly in that line many

people start to

cut and while these people were on Earth

they didn’t seem too

holy but they start to cut in line

anything that seems like real life is

just mere coincidence but there we start

to see orthod o Jews many

Catholics some very well-known atheists

and they got in line very happy to enter

Heaven and the righteous look at one

another and say hey but wait God forgave

these people as well they let anyone in

here this place is getting filled

with with

Rascals and after trying so hard my

whole

life why did I try so hard why did I put

in so much effort and so they began to

blaspheme and with the theur that they

developed they got upset with

God and in that precise moment they are

condemned it just so happened that that

was the final judgment and they judged

themselves and ex calulated themselves

love was there but they decided to not

recognize it but they thought we don’t

want a heaven that’s open for

everyone we don’t like this God that

allows entry to heaven to

anyone prefer a devil that’s much more

fair and

predictable the Pharisee in the story

prefers the same thing he prefers a fair

devil instead of an unpredictable God

but he doesn’t know it he believes that

he’s pleasing God so he begins with the

prayer and says I thank you

God it almost sounds like a Psalm he’s

giving thanks to his father for his

Blessing for his goodness but he gives

thanks because he’s not like the rest

and that’s where he messes

up thank you because I’m not like the

person next to

me that’s false humility false humility

pride that is made evident to everyone

except for the person

speaking false

humility is like stinky feet everyone

else notices it except for the person

that has

it the Bible says in Matthew

12:34

for whatever is in your heart determines

what you say so if we have pride in our

hearts our own words at one point or

another are going to betray us so the

religious people in those times didn’t

sick people around them no the things

that they cared about had nothing to do

with the things that God cared

about they just like all relig religious

people could only see their own Universe

they looked at their belly button that’s

all they could see this week of course I

heard a marvelous phrase that

says The Lion and the panther are

harmless but you should be careful with

chickens with roosters because that’s a

very dangerous

animal a worm said to her

son the Pharisees were

worms trying to stay safe from from

chickens they couldn’t see beyond their

noses now it’s likely that at this point

of the message we’ll say once again all

right fine this sermon would be good for

many people that I know it’s a bad thing

they didn’t come today but I’m going to

show you that we look just like the

Pharisees I’m going to show you that we

look like the Pharisees I’m using the

plural the majority of us if not all of

us we tend to use social media I spoke

about this a few days ago we use social

media to compare ourselves with everyone

else and to exalt ourselves but I’m also

digging a hole for myself because I use

them too so I recognize that what I’m

about to say is something

uncomfortable social media is designed

to show our best edited version with

many many filters I know what you’re

thinking who’s going to show their their

worst version well that’s the point

nobody shows the worst version of

themselves picture from down below where

you can see your double chin and your

bald head no you do the

impossible even if you’re bald you try

and look like you have a full head of

hair you mix whatever up there you edit

you you blur out the the top of your

head whatever but it’s a way to

self-promote yourself and obviously we

only post what we want everyone else to

see so it’s almost impossible to promote

humility through social media nobody can

promote humility

but social media does give us the

opportunity to be arrogantly humble like

the Pharisee thank God I’m not like him

right like the Pharisee in Jesus’s story

for example a pastor can post I just

finishing finished ministering in many

services and it’s incredible how God

used me for miracles for prophetic words

and

healings it’s arrogance disguised as

Thanksgiving to God because I’m saying

that God used me and notice that I’m

using the plural before you Stone me I’m

I’m getting there okay another person

says oh what a shame my friend that you

lost your way the church needs to wake

up let’s go back to the Antique gospel

arogant

disguised behind God thank you because

I’m not like this that person someone

else writes at my church we have the

true fire of God the true movement it’s

arrogance disguised as we open up our

own church where we don’t have to be

under one under anyone’s subjection and

it doesn’t just

happen in our Evangelical World maybe a

girl says oh I hate going in to a

restaurant and all the men stare at me

oh it’s so

upsetting they see me as an object oh my

gosh

arrogance disguised as I’m sorry for

being so attractive and

sexy a mother Praises herself by saying

today my daughter brought breakfast to

my bed so for today I’m going to abandon

my keto diet and the gym it’s arrogance

disguised as I have a perfect life I

have a perfect daughter and I look good

because I take care of

myself so we look a lot like the

Pharisee in the story a lot more than

what we

think and I insist on social media my

social media looks like almost everyone

else’s I only include what I want others

to know that’s why it continues to

surprise me when people say hey I’ve

been following you for years Dante and

it it’s a shame that you’ve changed

you’ve lost your way you you you lost

your path people say you lost your

compass you you deviated from your path

but I always say you never met the old

Dante or this new one if you thought I

was on the right path and now you think

that I’m not maybe it’s because you saw

a 1- hour sermon but you never got to

know my life I just showed you one

sermon you’ll never never ever know if I

lost my way if I found it or if I even

had it to begin

with so people know what we want them to

know about us on social media just like

the Pharisee he edits a prayer that he

wants

others to hear he says thank God I’m not

like the others if he had social media

he would post that he has the one true

doctrine that he has the true fire that

it’s family is the most perfect of

course he would post that on social

media social media didn’t exist yet but

we look just like him the question is

who do we compare ourselves

to if we’re interested in being better

then we’re always going to look for

someone that inspires us someone that

can teach us

something every time that I feel well

I’m not saying that I’ve lost my way I

don’t think it’s something you can ever

lose if the call was genuine but every

time I feel that the disenchantment is

beating my faith I like to sit down with

men of God like satio do Santos from

kuta or caros anakia from buenus just to

mention a few and I’m sinning by

Omission because there are so many

others that continue believing in that

cross and that Resurrection just like us

but it’s very clear to them what their

objective is they’re very focused in

their

call and when I share a few hours with

them I’m always left with the sensation

that I have a lot ahead of

me sometimes I worry about foolish

things but then they share their battles

their their trials their crises the

times they’ve gone to

cemeteries the amount of time they’ve

spent in hospital rooms and how they’ve

had to sacrifice their family their

money

everything you feel that when you seek

someone with a high spiritual

stature whether you’re aware of it or

not it takes us to seek God

but if our problem is pride then that’s

never going to happen we’re never going

to want to sit at the feet of people

that make us feel like we still have a

lot left to learn in our spiritual life

of course we’re going to compare

ourselves we all compare ourselves but

if we battle against

Pride we’re always going to compare

ourselves to people that make us feel

better from the point of view that

they’re worse than us remember or let us

remember that pride is is insecurity’s

best friend so the Pharisee in the story

compared himself with the worst person

he doesn’t compare himself with other

spiritual leaders or with the

prophets from the old world he doesn’t

say oh how much do I have left to be

like Abraham I’m so far from having the

faith of Moses he says n good thing I’m

not like this

Rascal he Compares himself with the

worst of the worst in that

Society with a guy that almost everyone

considers a

cockroach and if

enumerates all the all the Rascals by

saying I’m not like the

adulterers or the

cheaters or Sinners so the biggest

danger is that the foundation of our

confidence and security be something

else that’s not Jesus and that’s the

false Foundation

that many of us were brought up with

when we grew up on that church pew it’s

very tough for us to speak about faith

without speaking about what we do for

God like the Pharisees I had to battle

against that very much I don’t think

that

I’m I’m cocky well maybe I don’t notice

it like people who have stinky feet but

I do

recognize that many times insecurity has

made me speak too

much at a cafe or at a dinner with other

colleagues I might have said I’ve

accomplished this I’ve done this and God

allowed me to fill this stadium and many

times on the way back to the loneliness

in the hotel I realized that I spoke too

much that I was speaking trying to earn

a place amongst them so they could

respect

me so they could say I also want to be

in front of

crowds and the things that I share come

from insecurity and the root of that is

pride maybe we don’t say the prayer that

this Pharisee said but we’ve always

prepared our religious curriculum and

it’s always at hand we say oh look I

sered hey look I’ve been here for

years and soon after we start to show

the external things that we do however

throughout time Jesus has told us that

what interests him is who we are inside

there where you can’t fake it where you

can’t pretend not what we do for him but

who we are he can see what men don’t see

don’t be confused

Samuel said God I don’t see what men see

I see the condition of your heart but we

forget that God sees

that but

sometimes we want to earn that place we

want to speak about our

accomplishments I learned a lot in

fact with the most humble

man the most humble man that I ever got

to know Luis pal another one was Juan

or but Luis just like

Ortiz never allowed me to speak about

him the last time he came here he’s

currently now in the Lord’s presence if

some of you don’t know but the last time

he came to preach here at

River he had just come from preaching to

a crowd a multitude in in Central Park

in Manhattan a Hispanic preacher had

never done something like this but he

had a festival

in downtown New

York and there in the Big Apple he

gathered a crowd of multitude and then

after that he came here a week later or

maybe a couple weeks later and I

remember I received him and I said Lu I

want you to tell me details of how it

went and he said no man I don’t talk

about myself n that’s

boring other people will do it I just

preach I stand there and then I leave

and I say well were there a lot of

people and he says well I don’t know

tell me about this marvelous Church

everyone’s talking about River and I

said no no no I want you to tell me it

was great wasn’t it and he said no who

cares it doesn’t matter it’s it’s it’s

in the past let’s talk about you my

friend he was always uncomfortable if I

spoke about him and I would say man I

have a lot left to go let me just

compare myself with the people that

speak a lot about

themselves because when when you’re with

other people with big mouths you also

make the mistake of opening your mouth

and saying things and nobody’s asking

and we begin to compete and we begin to

say oh I did this and oh I did that

you can share a lot of things with that

arogant humility right oh I want to say

that the other day oh God surprised me

he’s so great he uses me oh my Lord how

he uses

me a paralytic came and I said get up

and the guy began to run oh God is so

great but in reality I don’t want to

give glory to God if not I would have

given thanks to him in private but I

want to share that God used me to do

that and I’ve been at those

tables where it seems like a a

competition of of Harry Potter

Wizards each one has a broom that flies

Higher and

Higher and with

age you begin to feel embarrassed by

these conversations when I go to the

story and I see the Pharisee I say

Lord how did I not see myself reflected

in this

story when many times I’ve been and

probably still am just like him the

Pharisee used the word I five

times when he spoke

I I thank you God because I am not like

other people I fast twice a week and I

give a tenth of my income five mentions

and just one paragraph that took what 30

seconds he mentions himself five

times Leviticus 16 recommended by a lot

of fast once a year but this guy says

that he fasts twice a

week more than a 100 times

more of what God is

asking and he says to God hey God I’m

I’m I hope you’re keeping count

right but in Jesus story there’s another

character on the other side of the

temple his arch nemesis his

rival his

Nemesis there we have the tax

collector and while the y fills the room

with words about himself Jesus says that

the other one reached the limit of his

strength of his

Brokenness of his humiliation and

frustration

yes it’s fascinating the way in which

Jesus describes in

detail the body language of this man and

and where he was

standing and he

says but the tax collector stood at a

distance and dared not even lift his

eyes to Heaven as he prayed instead he

beat his chest in

sorrow don’t worry I’m in

shape oh

God be merciful to

me for I am a

sinner that’s all he

did oh God be merciful to

me he didn’t even lift his eyes to

Heaven he’s aware that he’s unworthy

before God if it were up to him he

wouldn’t even have gone into the temple

this man is crying out his

sin he doesn’t

come to justify himself he didn’t say

that what he did didn’t have a caution

label his prayer is just a few words

but according to Jesus they paint an

image of

humility those prayers that we

say when we have no more excuses we stop

blaming others how long are we going to

blame our childhood it’s fine you have

to heal yourself inside you have to

reconcile with your childhood and those

sad moments but come

on there’s a moment where you become an

adult and you can’t blame your spouse

your

children your parents that you had that

you didn’t have what they did to me the

woman that betrayed me the man that left

me it’s

done if not we’re always giving power to

that oh they didn’t tell me they didn’t

put a caution label or this and this man

this second character in the story went

to the temple to have a real encounter

with God and the real encounters with

God are when we don’t care about blaming

anyone else

the guy remains at a distance all alone

and he lives the experience of a

man that he knows he is and the man that

God knows he is the other one the

Pharisee believes that he’s going to

impress God by stepping on the

heads of those that don’t practice the

holy Doctrine he does but

really the person that understood

everything in this story is the tax

collector he’s the only one that

understood everything yeah has the wrong

job he’s a he’s

a he betrayed his people but now he’s

hitting his chest in the temple and he

doesn’t even want to lift his

eyes he presents himself humbled before

God’s Majesty begging for mercy and

Grace because he understands the cost of

his sin he’s not saying oh I had to

eat and it was an opportunity it was a

job I want you to understand me if

nobody collects taxes

then the Empire won’t survive he’s not

saying that it’s oh it’s my wife’s fault

who didn’t support me or my father’s

fault because he didn’t advise me he

says no have mercy on me and Jesus gets

to the end of the story and he he grades

each one obviously he kicks the Pharisee

and the behind but the Brokenhearted man

who can barely muster out a prayer he

gives him the best

grade the tax collector whose prayer was

full of pain Jesus

says I tell you this sinner returned

home Justified before God for those who

exalt themselves will be humbled and

those who humble themselves will be

exalted and this man went home exalted

with a prayer that he could barely

muster out when he could barely speak am

I explaining myself once

again Jesus flips the rules of

society in these years of ministry I’ve

learned many things some things I’ve

learned in in a good way others I

learned the hard way but one of the

things that I learned is that many

people come to church looking for

Solutions which is

noble and everyone asks themselves if

there’s a supernatural answer to what’s

happening to them deaths

addictions marriage problems family

problems whatever it

is and people always ask what they

should do to solve it what do I have to

do because they always suppose or we

suppose that the answer lies in the word

do but very few people ask how to be how

to be instead of what to do because it’s

always easier to do something than to be

something because being something or

doing something

implies acting what do I do to leave

this addiction what do I do to fix this

problem at home but

being implies a true

transformation

before in fact you can be a resurrected

flea you have to be a dead flea so it’s

not about doing the same thing that the

tax collector did and just hit our chest

if not it would be easy oh well let’s

finish this message and everyone’s going

to hit their chest and we’ll say Lord

have mercy and that’s it no it’s about

being like the tax

collector it’s about feeling the prayer

that we say with our hearts because

there is nothing that can replace

our humility before God a humble heart

pleases

God the heart of a humble man invites

God to show his power Psalm 18:27 says

you rescue The Humble but you humiliate

the

proud and we’re always left with the

first part in the best of cases we’re

always left with the first part of the

promise it’s true it’s true if I can be

humble then he’s going to exalt me but

we forget the second clause that he

humiliates the

proud whether we realize it or not he

humbles us I can tell you the amount of

times I’ve been humbled

publicly of horrendous errors things

that I’ve

regretted just because I wanted to sit

in the prominent seat it cost me so much

it’s so simple that it’s in Scripture

that when you go to a party of course

it’s a

metaphor but when you go to a banquet

don’t sit in the first seat so that they

don’t say hey get out of this seat sit

in the back instead sit in the kitchen

or sit in the back so that they can say

where is Dante and then they take you to

the front seat the Lord says it once and

again and on more than one occasion and

and I know many of you would be able to

share the same thing about yourselves

we’ve sat in the wrong

seat we’ve wanted to receive honor long

before we planted we wanted a harvest

before we gave anything we’ve wanted to

be seated to be honored when it still

was in our time and more than once the

Lord has removed us from there in his

Mercy he removed us he picked us out it

could have been a kick in the behind but

in this story there’s another gem in the

crown there’s another Pearl at the end

of the Parable with these two men the

Lord

says for those who exalt themselves will

be humbled and those who will humble

themselves will be exalted

and you might say oh well I’ll wait for

God to Humble me or for life to Humble

me no no no it’s true life will humble

you being unemployed humbles you it

takes away our Dignity of of working a

failure in a relationship humbles us or

a dream that dies out or a career that

you only get to halfway or financial B

bankruptcy not being able to pay your

rent that humbles us but Jesus isn’t

speaking about this humiliation that

doesn’t count if someone is saying oh I

have stories of humility I was on the

streets many time I didn’t eat anything

while I was on the streets no no no

Jesus is speaking about an active

humility where we decide to Humble

ourselves if not he would say whoever

has to be has to go through humiliation

no he says whoever humbles themselves

it’s not something that we can expect to

happen in a natural way because

naturally God doesn’t seek to Humble us

the word seems m ktic I know we don’t

like it humble yourself I know we’re

used to being empowered there is no

conference that

says come to this conference and you’ll

leave humbled pay your ticket and you’ll

leave more humbled than ever no never

come humble yourself with our humbled

Apostle never the conferences are always

something like come prepare yourself for

the Great Harvest that God is going to

give you and come super extra AR Mega

Empower yourself to Reign and people say

oh yes amen hallelujah see nobody’s

going to be humbled

there and my case being

Argentinian I should say that humility

isn’t something

natural they didn’t tell my mom hey mom

you just gave birth to an Argent to a

humble son no he’s Argentinian so I must

confess that I obligate myself to serve

others on more than one occasion and God

reminds me of the thorns in my flesh so

I never forget who I am because I have a

tendency to feel like the drain at the

bottom of the

ocean it doesn’t matter that I don’t

have a lot of talent or that I didn’t

finish school the Argentinian iny is

something innate I bless Argent our

salvadorians and Mexicans and Colombians

and Guatemalans who are so humble I know

you’re watching me you’re so humble

right so

daily I obligate myself to review my my

motiv

because it’s very probable that though I

may not lose my way if I don’t humble

myself intentionally many times instead

of serving others I begin to serve my

ego it’s very confusing you can say oh I

gather crowds anywhere I go wow I’m like

Luis

Miguel and I forget that by favor and by

Grace by Mercy these people are blown

towards me to listen to his message I’m

grateful it surprises me I give thanks

for all that God does but it’s not about

hiding the picture or showing it or

saying it was full it wasn’t full or act

humble because I say oh it was empty no

it it’s about what happens

here I could choose the right words to

give glory to God but deep down inside I

may be keeping the glory for

myself that arrogant humility is a tool

that we use very

often you can say I’m the best father

the best husband the best son the best

Christian in many different ways you

have many different ways to say it

alleging that you’re giving glory to

God maybe we might scam people maybe we

deceive people for some time but you

can’t deceive God you can’t confuse him

you can’t lie to him when the Lord

said those that humble themselves he’s

saying that we’re responsible for our

own humility he’s not going to send

anything to Humble us that’s another

topic for another sermon he says those

that humble themselves the great issue

that we have to resolve today is that we

have to be able to Humble ourselves

without feeling proud of having humbled

ourselves are you following me yes or no

because as soon as we say oh I’m finally

humble oh there done invalid we

invalidated the humility now we’re proud

and we’re just like the Pharisee in the

story so you have to accomplish true

humility the one that you don’t

post the one that

is not fictitious if you can allow me

let me give you some suggestions about a

few things I’ve

learned to try and make that humility as

real and genuine as

possible if we want to Humble ourselves

we have to confess our sins to God

voluntarily be have mercy on me a

sinner because if we confess that we

were trapped or discovered and I’m not

humil humbling myself but it’s the

person that discovered me see there are

no amens see what an environment was

generated if you discover your son

eating a chocolate during the early

hours of the morning hiding from you and

you turn on the light and he says I’m

sorry Mom don’t

say oh that’s what I like about him he

has a heart but if he had not discovered

him he wouldn’t have repented are you

aware of that

you can’t say oh he’s so humble when I

punish him he ask for forgiveness no he

recognizes it because he was he was

caught if not you wouldn’t have realized

that he ate that chocolate so if we

confront sorry if we confess when

someone confronts us then it’s someone

else that’s humbling

us voluntary confession is a way to

Humble

ourselves I’m not saying we should post

it no one’s saying shout it from the

rooftop shout your

no just like the tax collector we have

to set ourselves

apart and in our Solitude say Lord I’m a

sinner because incredibly many of us

pray and say Lord you know the childhood

I had you know it wasn’t easy for me and

we’re saying the woman you gave me the

serpent deceived me and we blame the

other person the shampoo didn’t say that

I shouldn’t put it in my eyes nobody

told me that I’m not supposed to swallow

the the suppository we’re complaining

the same way God

exalts those that humble themselves

that’s his

promise and we always have the the

alternative of wearing a mask and

obviously we can prolong our spectacle

and obviously you can live in hypocrisy

for

years but there’s also a clear promise

let’s not forget we will be humbled and

it’s not the same thing as humbling

yourself you don’t want to be

humbled you prefer to humble yourself

before God I don’t want to be

humbled the times that I was humbled was

weren’t pleasing and on top of it all I

wasn’t pleasing

God I may have repented but because I

was discovered I was caught people

knew I inflated the numbers to make the

crowds look bigger I lied saying that I

did something when I actually didn’t so

I said sorry I don’t know what I did I

lied but I say I’m sorry because I was

was discovered and that humility isn’t

what the story is referring to it’s

talking about you humble yourself just

come and confess it like I once preached

in that message The Day My Mentor

died just say it with the

words that the Bible knows don’t the

don’t say I messed up no I sinned

against you God I sinned against heaven

and against my loved

ones don’t say oh I was under a lot of

pressure no don’t explain you’re not

speaking to a therapist that you’re

paying so that they can listen to you so

that you can feel good

no God says I want your confession

without confession there is no Grace

without confession there is no

forgiveness forgiveness is there Christ

died on the cross he he rose to give us

eternal life and confession gives us

that life are we in agreement yes or

no and Jesus

closes the greatest sermon of all times

the famous sermon of the

mount speaking two different paths one

takes you to life and the other to

destruction and in Matthew 713 he says

you can enter God’s kingdom only through

the narrow gate the highway to hell is

is Broad and its gate is wide for many

who choose that way but the gateway to

life many go through it as they go to

death but the gateway to life is very

narrow and the road is difficult and and

only a few ever find

it it’s not available it’s not an offer

you don’t get a narrow door and they

give you another two you can’t make the

combo bigger for 20 cents

more the narrow gate symbolizes a

difficult moment of humiliation of

humility many times I’ve gone through

revolving doors where only one person

can go in but sometimes you don’t

calculate and you walk in behind someone

and it’s uncomfortable because you walk

like a penguin behind the other person

as if

your pants were around your ankles and

you’re looking for toilet paper on the

other side of the bathroom it’s

terrifying well that narrow door that

narrow gate is the type of door or gate

that almost everyone ignores we ignore

it because we assume that success is

through the other door where we’ll be

empowered and successful let’s not be

confused the the broad gate isn’t oh I’m

going to the world to take drugs and

have orgies no broadgates are also in

congregations when they tell us that

we’re going to be empowered that we’re

going to be successful that life will be

great that you’ll come here and you’ll

get a brand new car take your Tesla by

faith that God will make you have your

own home and you won’t rent anymore and

you’ll always be the head and not the

tail and that you’ll do well whatever

you touch you’ll be like the mest touch

and it’ll all turn to Gold everyone

accepts that it’s a multi

level but one day we read that a

celebrity kills themselves and we’re

left in

stupefaction we’re perplexed

because that was the person in in the in

the carp the one we all want to be in

that person had a mansion in Beverly

Hills a bunch of cars servants Maids but

they killed themselves they hung

themselves what do you mean they weren’t

happy I’m desperate to buy my own

house I at this very moment would give

anything to have people to serve me and

that person had it it had it all so One

path is difficult and narrow

and it Bears the name of death even

though the end is life but another path

is wide and it has a sign that says life

but its end is

death Matthew 16:24 says that we can

expect something specific when we’re

walking down that narrow path Jesus says

if any one of you wants to be my

follower you must give up your own way

if you try to hang on to your life you

will lose

it we don’t hear many sermons like this

behind a Pulpit I Don’t Preach them too

often I haven’t heard them too often but

the words are so genuine just like that

phrase that we stick on the fridge or on

the back of our

bumper those phrases that say I can do

all things in the Lord who gives me

strength

or or a chosen lineage of the Lord but

this is another important one whoever

wants to save their life will lose

it but if you give up your life for my

sake you will save it back in

9 there is a film interpreted by Bruce

Willis the plot was about a boy who had

a mysterious capacity to see people who

weren’t alive remember the movie is the

Sixth Sense the boy’s phrase I see dead

people was made

famous I see dead

people and in these last years I’ve been

very close to dead

people I was there when I when they had

to disconnect someone’s oxygen and I was

there to to support the

family I was with many families as they

said goodbye to loved ones I’ve said

final prayers for people that were

passing I’ve been close to many open

caskets while friends and family said

their

goodbyes and I’ve always realized a

pattern in all dead

people not those that survived but those

in the

casket they don’t seem to care about

what others think they don’t care about

the clothes they’re

wearing dead people don’t care about the

likes on social media I’ve never seen a

dead person worried about their social

media they don’t care if many people

came to their funeral death voids the

valid validity of anything

mundane it’s the

Supreme surrender of yourself that’s it

death it’s done it’s done your oxygen is

up and when Jesus speaks about dying to

ourselves it’s not poetic

license I die out of love for you no

it’s not a license it’s referring to

that to

dying everything in this world dies for

us and we die to all things in this

world the bathro with the initials the

hotel bathroom it’s

attractive because it has to do with us

us being served and

spoiled but the life of the towel and

the Basin to wash other people’s feet is

the image of serving others and that’s

why it’s not so attractive you say is it

wrong is it wrong for me to be served

once in a

while because I have a lot of stress if

I don’t do something for myself I’m

going to explode

Well when things get

difficult we’re always advised to escape

the stress take a vacation go to AA and

if you can go to Cancun and if you can

go to Tijuana but take some time for

yourself put on a a hotel robe let

yourself be spoiled let yourself be

served but according to

Jesus being absorbed in our own problems

is never the right medicine not for

stress or for

anguish not two days not three days we

in the hotel room not even a month of

vacation in the

Caribbean will take away the anguish or

the worry that life

brings difficult days the hardest days

those rough

days make you naturally not want to

serve others we say how can I help

someone else if I can barely deal with

my own

bones I can barely get up out of bed in

the morning and I have to go encourage

someone else come

on my marriage is being destroyed and

someone else is asking me to help pray

for their partner how can the

dead help the the living they’re asking

for prayer for their finances but if

only they knew that I I’m 3 months

behind on my on my mortgage or my rent

we think that not until I spoil myself

and fix my own problems then I can’t

serve others but it’s astonishing

According To Jesus how healing it is to

serve others even when you don’t have

strength

look Jesus

lived his worst moment the night before

died the night before he went up on the

cross

you think he didn’t have a right to say

Well since tomorrow I’m going to be

hanging on the cross hey gentlemen at

the very least what I deserve is for you

to serve me once and for all come on at

least wash my

feet those that are going to die even

have their last meal whatever they want

to eat the night before he would be

executed they ask what do you want to

eat the Lord but the Lord said I’m

condemned to death

he could have said well let these

parasites that have been following me

for years let them serve me for just one

day but no he spoiled everyone

else despite the nightmare that was

coming instead of asking for a robe with

the hotel initials he took a towel to

wash feet a towel and Basin that’s the

healthiest thing you can do when we’re

going through turbulent Waters

serve you begin to stop looking at your

you forget that phrase oh Panthers and

lions aren’t

dangerous be careful with the

chickens that’s what the mom mommy worm

said to to her baby worm were little

worms worrying about the chickens around

us we’ve said Lord I have so many

problems I have so much anguish I can’t

serve you this way really that was your

excuse

that we can’t serve when we’re anguished

that God has to guarantee

us perfect health all of our debts paid

a brand new car in the driveway at least

a fridge full with with groceries if not

I can’t serve really then we didn’t

understand what this is all about we’re

going to have to go through difficult

moments or easy moments we’re going to

have to go through Winters Summers

Springs moments where everything Flows

In The Family other moments where

nothing flows within the family it’s

normal that’s called

family it’s impossible to sit down at a

table on a Christmas or on a New Year’s

and get along with everyone if you

thought that being a Christian meant you

get along with everyone means you get

along with everyone no usually it means

you fight against those that have your

same blood father against son brother

against brother the majority of the

times it’ll happen to the way it

happened to the Lord where his own

brother said he was crazy but we confuse

the gospel and we think that we’re just

buying life

insurance and for the end I left the

title so that it can be recorded in us

and it can remind us of the core of this

story The Adventure of

Poseidon is a movie about a

transatlantic ship the film came out

before

Titanic this

transatlantic ship called posidon comes

to an ocean storm a wall of

water impacts the

ship and all the guests on the ship

dressed in tuxedos and and gowns and

dresses begin to

panic the the ship because of the weight

of the water capsizes and flips over

entirely but there’s enough air trapped

inside so that the ship continues to

float even though it has capsized but

the passengers panicked they begin to

panic and they try to save their lives

they’re so confused they begin to go up

the

stairs trying to get to the top level

the only issue is that now that deck is

submerged 30 me 30 M below the

water and so getting to the highest

point in the ship means that they’ll

drown because the ship has flipped over

and they’re

spare doesn’t allow them to see

this the only survivors are those that

Against All

Odds those that go against the logic of

what it means to go up or

down those that decide to do something

unusual while so many run to their death

three passengers

descend to the deepest part of the ship

until they

get

to to the engines but since the the ship

is capsized the engines are now at the

highest point of the

ship so they found the new Surface they

found the new highest point and so The

Rescuers hear them they cut the metal of

the ship to set them free just three

people

survived the ship has capsized and the

same is in this world what US what

appears to us as being the top is

actually the bottom when they say we

have to be empowered continue on the

American dream you have to find a career

you have to apply to that University

it’s all good but if we believe that

that’s what it means to go

up then we’re going to be met with the

great frustration in our lives that

we’re actually headed down what appears

to us to go down and be humble that’s

the path of

salvation for those who exalt themselves

will be humbled and those who humble

themselves will be

exalted

anyone that decides to go down to the

depths of humiliation on their own

account is actually going up to the

surface taking oxygen and saving their

lives Jesus says that in order to go up

you have to go down but we forget

it to be a resurrected flea a risen flea

you have to be a dead flea first

right we have to be willing to be a dead

flea that’s that’s the Dilemma of the

Cross that’s the cross

not just hanging it around your neck as

an ornament or a reminder if we want to

celebrate Resurrection today first we

have to die if not that Resurrection has

no sense it’s like Grace nobody values

it if they first don’t recognize that

they sinned against the law Paul says

how can you value Grace if you’re not

even aware that you violated the law you

have to be

aware that we were condemned to sin if

not Grace isn’t valued why would you

give thanks

for a for a cure to cancer if you were

never diagnosed with cancer yeah you’re

happy that others are healed but it’s

not your case but if you’re diagnosed

with a terminal illness you’re going to

Value the vaccine or the

Cure this is what we call the gospel of

Poseidon or in more simple terms it’s

switching out your hotel robe with

initials for a towel and a

basin serve the Lord of lords the King

Kings to rise along with him we’re going

celebrate the king

hallelujah we’re going to celebrate an

Applause that the Lord has resurrected

he has risen the King has

risen come on

celebrate blessed be

God he has risen we have risen come on

come on come on give a grand Applause to

the Lord he has spoken today he loves

you so much princess he loves you you so

much Prince he loves you so

much the lord loves us so

much would we be willing this morning

afternoon at night wherever you’re

watching

from anywhere around the world would we

be willing to say a

prayer not that looks like the tax

collectors or sounds like the tax

collectors but let our heart look like

his

some W have to hit their

chest but others will have to say simply

I am a sinner as simple as

that see what happens when

everyone with their heart prays now and

says I am a sinner and try to not blame

anyone else other than yourself to see

how the atmosphere

changes and immediately the spirit’s

anointing will descend in an incredible

way as soon as the Lord sees a humbled

heart

he doesn’t ignore

it automatically our surrender and

request for forgiveness attracts the

Lord’s Heart The Father’s Heart you

don’t believe me well then maybe you’ll

have to

remember what happened when your

children would ask for

forgiveness or if they still ask for

forgiveness if you still have young

children they can do whatever they can

bring out the worse than you oh you are

so frustrated that they have a

mess that they that they left the

kitchen filthy or that they disrespected

you but at one point you feel the worst

part of you coming out but then they

look at you with those

eyes you see yourself in them you know

that they’re your son your child your

your daughter they say I’m sorry Mom or

they come to your room and say I’m sorry

Dad I doubt that a parent here would say

nope you’re not forgiven I hate you I

detest you you failed me you’re not

worthy of my

forgiveness I think that the majority of

melt and many after a good Penance

because the consequences exist we have

deal with that smile we see them so

fragile that that child that adolescent

that was just shouting at us saying they

want to be an adult and they want to

live their own lives now they’re little

baby with hairy

legs a big baby a big

baby that wants to claim their rights as

a woman but she still needs to embraced

and hugged I’m sure that you’ll Embrace

her you’ll Embrace him and if you’re an

unfair parent a sinner like the Lord

said and you can give good gifts to your

children how much more so our father

that is in heaven so say to the Lord

forgive me I’m a

sinner God have mercy on me a

sinner forgive me

forgive

me I don’t have

excuses I don’t have excuses could you

forgive me

again your blood can clean me

again tell him to forgive you

again I assure you he’ll do

it if that

request for forgiveness is genuine and

it comes from a broken heart I give you

word that you will leave here this

Sunday feeling

lighter feeling risen

really come

on let’s take a few minutes to Humble

ourselves we won’t allow anyone else to

Humble us we’ll only go before the Lord

and we say I’ve been a fraud

and I’ve ruined

everything I’ve thrown my life

overboard there’s not a day where I

don’t regret that poor

decision but if you can have mercy on me

this this broken vessel here I

am don’t tell the Lord that you have

something to offer him or that you’re

going to serve

him don’t try and buy or exchange or

make deals no say Lord forgive me just

trust that he loves you and that he’ll

forgive you like The Prodigal Son say

father I’ve sinned against

you and then there will be a celebration

but there will be no Resurrection

without death there will not

be you can’t celebrate an open Tomb if

you first haven’t gone through that cast

tell the Lord to forgive you come on

come on come

on have mercy on me a sinner

God here and around the

world take a minute to ask for

forgiveness for your

sins for the times in which you offended

God for the times in which you doubted

his

faithfulness for the times in which you

you you whispered murmured against other

men and women of God when you judged and

said at least I’m not like this person

when you compared your family to another

family when you compared your ministry

another when you counted your people and

then you counted the

others the ministers that are on the

other

side that have been at those tables that

I’ve been at yet you’re still there

boasting with proud

humility the things that God does in

your

Ministries say Lord forgive

me I’ve been so

conceited I’ve been such a rascal such a

scammer wanting to take away your

glory Lord we’re

here in Repentance and we’re willing to

celebrate your day of Resurrection but

first we want to pass through the cross

and ask for forgiveness and ask you to

clean us and purify

us someone should say forgive me of my

sins clean my sins that are even hidden

or or forgive my sins if I haven’t even

realized that I’ve sinned free me of all

the things that I’ve said to make myself

look a certain way or phrases I’ve used

to Humble

others the times that I’ve even used

social media to show myself and I don’t

know that my pride can be

embraced forgive me for using a robe

with Hotel initials instead of using

that towel and Basin Lord I want to

serve you and I want to serve others I

want to be a Channel of blessing come on

lift up your hands and and worship

worship everyone everyone father thank

you for this morning afternoon and night

I’ve transmitted what I believe you told

me to tell these people I haven’t kept

anything and I know that each one of

them takes in their heart a word that

your spirit will

seal Lord we we close out this this

Easter

week with this day of resurrection and

we see the rock the stone of our sin of

our

iniquities being

moved that stench of that putri death

disappears and now Lord we’re feeling

life again come on take a deep breath

those that are here because this is life

it’s like when you were locked in and

you finally step out to breathe in fresh

air breathe in that oxygen of eternal

life the Lord says since you have

humbled yourself you will be ex

exed since you fit your life through

that narrow gate you will have life

since you’ve decided to descend you will

Ascend since you’ve decided to give up

you will have because you’ve decided to

plant you will harvest I bless you says

the Lord keep yourself humble and I will

open doors keep yourself simple and I

will promote you remain at the feet of

the Cross and I will take you to your

Sunday of Resurrection I believe believe

it I declare it in everyone in the body

in the soul and in the spirit amen and

amen glory to Jesus give him an Applause

give an Applause to the

king happy Resurrection Sunday say with

me he
