ENGLISH Dante Gebel #866 | Fast and furious… but overwhelmed
Haste kills everything we consider valuable: spirituality, health, relationships, family, the ability to reflect, creativity, generosity and listening to God. Following Jesus is a relationship, and all relationships deserve and require time. If there’s one thing we can read in the four gospels, it is that Jesus was never in a hurry. Following Jesus has to become our way of life. What we need is a slower spirituality for our souls, which were left behind, to reach our bodies once and for all. The Lord invites us to walk shoulder to shoulder with Him, to share the yoke; so that, for us, living becomes lighter.

with you very short but marvelous with
what’s happening or what happened in our
most recent trip to Uganda
Africa this is where we have our home in
our
school not only do our kids study there
but they also sleep there because the
majority of them are orphans I always
make the same clarifications because
there are certain people that are
connecting for the first time and I
don’t want to take anything for granted
God willing this year we’re going to
found our high school so that when our
kids finish Elementary School they don’t
have to go to a different school for now
we’re sponsoring them when they go to
other schools we sponsor them we pay for
their studies so that they can continue
throughout high school but now we want
to have it all here we’re buying more
land to have a big campus we’re going to
have
kindergarten then we’re going to have an
elementary well we already have it and
then we’re building a high school we
want all that together and that’s thanks
to your seed to what you
sow meanwhile we don’t stop the
construction of our home in India we’ll
show you images
soon and we also haven’t stopped our
project in
Cuba even though it was getting
difficult I’ll be careful with what I
say because we’re Al but though things
became difficult we finished the
construction of our neighborhood in Cuba
our River Village so a very special
greeting to Cuba nothing can stop what
God wants to do and we’re also going to
have those images soon we have our
missions in
Colombia we received images from
Guatemala a lot of material for to watch
and share but since I want to transmit
what I believe God told me to tell
you here we’re ready to watch this
episode the second to last episode of
what happened in Uganda and this has to
do with going out to give food to the
community in the previous episode we
started by cleaning the city remember
they said we’ve never seen white people
cleaning and now we went out to give
food and man did this help them to have

well are we ready Stay With Me I’m
ready I know a marvelous
story of an English traveler that went
to Africa with the
intention of having a safari Through the
Jungle so he hires a few natives so that
they could guide him and so that they
can carry his belongings and after an
exhausting day in which they traveled by
foot making a path through the Jungle
the traveler woke up very early in the
morning to continue on his
Safari and the native guides denied it
categorically they didn’t want to move
and so the man exasperated begins to
persuade them he begins to beg them but
nothing works they don’t want to move
and finally he asks them why they
decided to not continue and one of the
natives answers him we’ll do it but not
now
we’re waiting for our
souls which stayed far behind to catch
up to our
bodies and this short but magnificent
story tends to remind me of our Western
Lifestyle the modern lifestyle we all
live exhausted tired the only
difference between the natives in the
story and us is that they knew they were
aware what it is they needed to restore
the equilibrium in their lives meanwhile
we tend to ignore what it is we
need we live running daily this isn’t
new this is all over the world and we
don’t realize that we’re leaving our
souls behind that our soul hasn’t caught
up to our body our occupation ends up
doing that to us it steals the breath of
our
soul and so what do you normally respond
when they ask you hey how are you you
always say I’m good I’m good I’m busy
thank God
we always say we’re busy right well how
you doing well I’m good good thank God
I’m busy because to be
busy it’s as if we’re blessed right if
you’re busy you’re blessed professors
are busy young parents are busy old
parents that have an empty nest are
busy those that live in front of a beach
in the Caribbean are busy managers are
busy CEOs are busy waiters nannies are
busy even if they’re
part-time Americans are busy Mexicans
salvadorians argentinians
watermans Asians Germans Swiss they’re
all
busy now it’s
true that there is
a a certain healthy way of being busy
when we are occupied by things that
truly matter essential
things the problem is not that we have
too many things to
do
it’s that sometimes we have many things
to do and the majority of them don’t
matter but they still keep us busy in
reality we could have more time with God
more time to pray more time to read the
word it’s just that it’s terribly
difficult to focus our minds on that
because we’re busy or we’re too
busy maybe some days we’re able to go to
bed early I know some of you
say oh sometimes I I’m able to put the
kids to bed early if if they’re asleep I
turn off the T TV but then the anxiety
doesn’t let you fall asleep until late
into the night we watch a series on TV
while we check our text messages we
check our social media we answer our
emails we watch the news and we take
care of the dog all together right and
without
realizing we begin to have physical
problems we somatize we gain weight we
get sick many times a year we wake up
more tired than when we went to bed and
if that enough we feed ourselves with
the four riters from Revelations
caffeine sugar alcohol and
gluten so psychologists and Health Care
Professionals say that this is an
epidemic in our modern
world that it’s the disease of being in
a rush we’re always in a rush and they
affirm that that’s a new pathology it’s
almost normal in everyone more than 60%
of humankind this is more than half more
than 60% of
humankind suffers sleep deprivation it’s
it’s an emotional epidemic it’s an
epidemic of anxiety almost like a
pandemic and this
statistic shouldn’t Comfort Us by us
saying oh well at least I’m not the only
one because it’s like saying oh I’m
going to eat manure because a million
flies can be mistaken right so we can’t
say ah well nobody Sleeps No No we have
to solve this so we feel that we’re
always lacking time and we become
frustrated as soon as we bump into the
slightest delay if we’re at the market
try and remember we look for the line
that seems like it’s going the fastest
always right or we check to see who has
the least amount of items in front of
us but just wait until that lady in
front of you pulls out her stack of
coupons or they deny her card
or she has a problem scanning one of her
products that’s our worst nightmare
hearing that the cashier stops
everything and speaks to the microphone
saying I need the the code for the
tomatoes cash register
3 and you feel like saying ah just give
her those tomatoes for free please let
her leave in peace because we’re all in
a rush do we have a meeting at the
Pentagon no we just don’t have time to
lose we’re going down the street zigzag
being always looking for the fastest
lane we’re
frustrated when we have to wait for the
microwave to heat something up for three
minutes we’re they’re waiting oh come on
and we can’t leave we’re going to get
cancer standing there in front of the
microwave seeing the dish
spin we get in a bad mood when they send
us a video on WhatsApp that takes a
minute to load you see the little wheel
spinning we jumped through all the movie
titles
and we say oh good thing we can skip the
intro in the Netflix episode who has
time to watch credits so here’s the
point an accelerated Life Is The New
Normal in our
world but that doesn’t make it less
toxic it’s normal for us but it’s still
toxic our
culture in our culture the adjective
slow is pejorative according to the
official dictionary
it
says slow you are mentally clumsy stupid
naturally iner or lazy lack of
disposition promptness or will that’s
what it means to be slow that’s why if
someone tells you don’t be slow then
realize everything they’re insulting you
with that’s why when someone has a low
IQ we label them as slow right when
service at a restaurant is poor we say
oh it’s so slow here why is it so slow
they can’t even take a simple
order and I ordered a pizza I didn’t ask
for
plutonium when a movie is boring we say
ah this movie is
slow we want the first 10 minutes to
contain a few assassinations an
earthquake a tsunami some type of action
where the Hispanic dies the Asian dies
and and the colored person dies like
always we don’t have time to
waste I was reading a study that said
that people don’t want to go to the
theaters
anymore because they don’t have a remote
control to fast
forward or in its defect this is
incredible they can’t hit pause to see
how much longer is left in the movie and
that’s a habit that we have with
streaming hm let me see how much longer
there is uh 15 minutes so since they
don’t have the TV control at the theater
they get anxiety and what makes this
pathology more serious is that we
supposedly have more technology now than
what our grandparents ever dreamt
with and even then we’re always
complaining that we lack what we lack
time
incredible I was reading that the
majority of historians
coincide that the year
1371 I hope nobody was alive in that in
that
year that was a point of inflection with
our relationship with time because in
that year in Germany they built the
first public Clock Tower there weren’t
public clocks they weren’t even personal
clocks but that was the first public
Clock Tower before that time was just
natural it was all tied to the rotation
of the Earth on its axis going through
the Four
Seasons human beings would go to bed
with a with a moon and they would wake
up with the sun there weren’t clocks
that would keep a rhythm there were no
clocks the days were very long and
active during the summer short and slow
during the
winter after the sun hid there was no TV
to turn on there was no internet there
were no cell phones there was nothing
else to do once the sun came down there
was nothing else to
do and nobody would stay
up reading late into the night next to a
candle because that would strain your
sight you had to strain your eyes to see
the
letters the Rhythm of Life was dominated
by The Agrarian
rhythms getting up very early to work
the fields to feed your
cattle your sheep whatever it is you had
I was reading that back in those
days the average amount that the the
average person slept per night was 11 or
12 hours and that’s when I
understood because I’ve read biographer
biographies from huge evangelists back
in the 20th Century like John Wesley or
Charles Spurgeon they would wake up at
4:00 a.m. to pray many times I would say
well I guess I’m just a a worldly person
because I can wake up at 7 and crawl to
the bathroom then I’ll drag myself to my
coffee machine and pour myself a a cup
of coffee and I asked myself how did
these guys wake up at 4 in the morning
to seek God but we don’t realize that
they would go to bed at the latest at
700 p.m. during the winter they they
would go to bed at 5:00 p.m. what else
could they
do at 4:00
a.m. if they had already slept for 12
hours of course anyone can be spiritual
in that in that
context but then clocks came and it
changed everything because it created
artificial time a new module to
structure Our Lives the module of time
just as we know it today didn’t exist
before so we sto listening to our bodies
and we wake wake up when our alarm clock
goes off quack quack quack quack quack
quack quack snooze quack quack quack
quack quack
quack it’s not necessarily when our
bodies have rested enough no we wake up
when the alarm clock goes off so it’s
true we’ve become more efficient yes but
we’re also further from what God had in
mind when he created
us so when the sun would establish our
rhythm of work and rest that was under
God’s control but now our clocks are
under the management of our manager
supervisor and that’s much more
demanding because if we arrive late then
we lose our
jobs so back in
1879 Thomas Edison came around and
created a light
bulb and that made it possible to stay
awake even after the sun went down and
that continues today for us it’s normal
to turn the TV off at
midnight or even early in the morning if
we’re watching a whole series we’re
never seeking the Lord that late right
you’re all laughing nervously because
it’s
true on top of it all in our
grandparents time if it was Winter they
had to wake up and go into the forest
early in the
morning cut down a tree with an axe cut
that wood into pieces light a fire with
her own hands and now all we have to do
is walk to the thermostat on the
wall press the arrow
and even then there are husbands that
say Hey how do I work this thing or if
we download the app on our phone we can
do it straight from there while we’re
laying in bed the heater automatically
turns on you don’t have to go out and
cut a down cut down a tree you don’t
have to fight against
Bears before we used to make all food
from scratch remember our mothers would
say on Sunday I’m going to
cook and she used to start with the
dough at 9:00 a.m.
and then Remember by 1: a 1 p.m. she
would say so much working like a slave
just for you to eat it all in five
minutes and I would say Mom what do you
want us to eat over the course of 6
hours to value your effort but nowadays
we have delivery now we don’t even have
to go and look for the food they bring
it to our
door before we used to write write
handwritten letters but now we use
emojis text messages and voice messages
and we use our best friend Alexa
nobody thought about the Holy Spirit
right our best friend is
Alexa however despite our cell phones
our coffee machines our dishwashers or
washer dryer toaster everything that we
have that our grandparents didn’t the
majority of us feel that we don’t have
enough time in place of having more time
because you would assume that these
things came about to make our lives
easier like I said you don’t have to go
outside to cut down a tree to heat
yourself up you don’t have to prepare
your food from a very early hour all
these things should be saving us time
and work so why do we live so fast and
furious yet
exhausted I think the solomonic answer
is because we spend our time on a bunch
of foolishness and I tried to say that
in a Biblical
way
the world changed radically in just a
couple years some of us are a part of a
generation that saw that change that our
children won’t
see those that are a part of my
generation grew up without a cell phone
we didn’t have thousands of options of
entertainment the other day I was
remembering that there was an antenna on
the roof that could get four channels
through the air and if we wanted to get
a fifth Channel we had to move the
antenna and when a storm came and it
spun around the
antenna we would say Dad can you go on
the roof no what do you mean get on the
roof but Dad we don’t have TV and so the
guy would go take a nap and we would
just watch the grainy screen all
day when God touched him and he finally
felt like he would go on the roof and
ask hey is it good now no good now no
it’s working now yeah but I’m holding it
no and my dad’s under the rain on the
roof so that we can watch TV there we
can watch we can watch it and you would
see a gray Pink
Panther so we didn’t have access to
Wi-Fi what do you mean
Wi-Fi and if we traveled It Was Always
by train or bus a public
bus we would take a
magazine or a book and if we calculated
well we would finish it before we
arrived at our destination and then we
would just look out the window there was
nothing else to do there was no phone to
be scrolling through no you would just
look out the window you finish the
magazine you either read it again or you
you look out the
window what about at a waiting in a
waiting room we would read the old
magazines a new actor is born Harrison
Ford we would go out of we would leave
our homes to go work nobody could find
US unless we were the ones that would
call using a public phone and on top of
it you’d have to find a working public
phone and you needed coins Millennials
are looking at me as if to say well in
what world in what country in your
country the one that you’re never going
to live
in now what I’m trying to say is it’s
fine if our children say I’ve gotten
used to it I’m a millennial I was born
here but what about
us we can’t imagining imagine living
without something that didn’t even exist
when we were adolescence these things
didn’t didn’t
exist experts reaffirm that the internet
is lowering our
IQ or at least our capacity to pay
attention and cell phones brought the
internet into our pocket so a recent
study discovered that the average iPhone
user touches his phone 2,300 times a day
you don’t even touch your wives that
much
and the
majority the majority of
surveys or the amount of people surveyed
don’t realize how much time they’re
losing when they’re checking their email
checking their social media checking the
weather listening to music or just
swiping randomly on Tik Tok or
Instagram the creators of social media
elves confirm that all these
applications are built with one Axiom
with one slogan how can we consume the
greatest part of your time and
attention as much as possible and they
concluded that for that to happen that
for something to call to our attention
they have to give us an injection of
dopamine or something similar to
dopamine so each minute something needs
to bring adrenaline or dopamine into our
minds and that happens when
somebody likes what we posted when they
put a
comment or when they loved their post
that liberates dopamine in our bodies
it’s a
drug that makes us generate more content
that makes us seek more likes more
comments it’s a social validation
feedback cycle to be validated we’re
always posting
content a company can only obtain our
money if first they have our attention
if we don’t pay attention to them then
we don’t
consume and companies know that for each
year that passes for each generation
that is
Born the attention span decreases in
Giant Steps before the year 200000
before the technological
Revolution our attention span was 12
seconds we could watch a trailer or a
teaser for 12 seconds our
children can’t pay attention to content
that lasts more more than 8 seconds and
what surprises me is that
any is that any fish a fish has an
attention span of 9 seconds how do we
know this well because if you tap on the
Fishbowl the fish watches the finger
like
this for nine seconds one second more
than our
children so in other words our children
are losing to
fish so there are literally thousands of
applications and devices
that are developed intentionally to
steal our attention and time that’s why
we don’t have time and obviously our
money because let me remind
you our cell phone doesn’t work for us
we pay for our cell
phone but we’re not the client we’re the
product everything that appears to be
free it’s because we’re the product any
app that’s free it’s because we’re the
product we’re rats in the lab what is
for sale is our attention and our
personal data along with our mental
peace of course everything that we write
everything we look for everything we
search for or whatever we say out loud
in front of a cell
phone will be turned into data that is
monetized by thousands if you say no no
no I turned off all those settings on my
phone
well every time you have a software
update boom everything is reinitiated
everything turns on again so AI listens
for key words or reoccurring words in
our conversations or it looks at our
reoccurring searches and that has an
enormous value that’s why it’s normal if
you speak to a friend in front of your
cell phone you’re telling them that you
want to go to a pilates class that same
day you’re going to see dozens
of of offers
pictures commercial for
Pilates and the Very gurus from Silicon
Valley the great creators of these
applications pay a fortune to enroll
their children in private schools where
cell phones are
prohibited because they think the same
thing that drug dealers think never buy
what you sell or in simple
words never use your own Supply they
don’t want their children to be addicted
but they do work towards other people’s
addictions and if somebody’s saying
today well I’m not like that I use it
for very essential things well then let
me challenge you to turn off your phone
for 24 consecutive hours one day out of
the week a digital
fast a digital fast let’s see what
happens let’s see if you can put up with
one day without checking your phone
without looking like like the Exorcist
with your head
spinning by having neuro neurobiological
abstinence even here even here in the
church cell phones go off as far as I
know nobody here works for the
Pentagon and nobody’s calling you to say
hey National Security is at risk what
are you doing there leave now the FBI is
calling no nobody gets these calls
however we hear bing bing and people
begin
to 200 people can hear the notification
except for that person who forgot where
they put their phone I feel like saying
Lord just take them to heaven with you
with the phone and
everything if we can’t pay attention to
God for two hours during the week then
we have a serious problem really if we
think that we’re going to miss out on
something on Instagram because of two
hours then we have a serious issue we’re
addicted and Jesus said
that our heart would follow our treasure
and one of these Treasures is time the
time that we
dedicate our attention to that’s a form
of idolatry because whatever we’re
paying attention
to is going to make us into that person
whatever we place into our minds into
our deposit is what’s going to make a
path for our
character whatever we fill our deposit
with rushing and a lack of time isn’t an
unorganized agenda no it’s an
unorganized heart a heart that lost its
priorities it’s not that Modern Life
here in Modern Life you don’t have time
here in California you’re rushing in
Argentina and Mexico
no we should have much more time than
our
grandparents because we have things that
solve our problems to be able to have
more time for ourselves
we don’t necessarily have to grind our
coffee we don’t have to cut firewood we
don’t have to feed our horses to then
put the Chariot tomorrow to go to a
certain Village no nowadays we have
electric vehicles that we can charge
overnight so that rushing that lack of
attention and what truly matters is an
assassin of joy and fundamentally of
gratitude it makes us ungr ful and
petulant because when we’re in a hurry
there’s something that
happens we can’t enjoy any of God’s
blessings anyone that’s in a rush
doesn’t enjoy anything and what’s worse
we don’t even realize God’s blessings we
might not even see
them that emotional blindness of looking
at your phone all the time waiting for a
text
message that takes away our environment
what God has given us it surprises me to
see that before I I thought it was just
an Asian
thing when they would walk through
amusement parks with with their famous
Kodak now at theme parks concerts
churches the amount of people that are
recording videos for someone else or for
a memory I don’t know for what but
they’re missing out on being present in
that moment or maybe they’re taking a
selfie or taking pictures it surprises
me to see people that
say oh in my case I wanted to get to
know
you I wanted to meet you but now they’re
just taking pictures with me we couldn’t
speak they didn’t ask any questions we
couldn’t hug each other because all they
wanted was a picture to post on social
media so there’s a change of values
where the superficial becomes important
and the important turns
superficial and there’s a
hurry that kills everything that should
be valuable spirituality Health your
partner your family your AB ility to
reflect to say I’m going to take a
moment to reflect I’m going to
disconnect from any device
creativity because being connected
online all the time I assure you it
takes away your creativity
generosity because we begin to ignore
those that are around us those in need
listening to God how will the Lord speak
to us fine there are those that say oh I
watch sermons I listen to Christian
music but even then
we telling God this is the way that
you’re going to speak to me not any
other way if you thought you were going
to speak to my heart or in the still of
night no I won’t I won’t
listen so being in a hurry and that lack
of
time is a sociopathic
Predator it eats away at us it’s like
Pac-Man those video games from the
past it’s a predator that’s on the loose
in our society and Satan doesn’t present
himself with a trident because sometimes
we think that Satan has a a tail a
trident and Rudy gracia’s
voice a greeting to Rudy he’s a great
friend
honestly but we think that Satan says
I’m going to tempt you today no that’s
not Satan that’s
Rudy he’s much more astute than what we
think if the devil can’t make us sin
then he’s going to keep us very
busy
overwhelmed without any time for the
truly important things and they always
told us no well being slow is wrong it’s
good to be fast being slow is bad
however we forget like someone said
being in a hurry isn’t from the devil
being in a hurry and the lack of time is
the
devil if he can’t stop you if he can’t
stop us he’s going to accelerate us
let’s not even doubt that and with that
being said I’m going to tell you what
Jesus thinks about that lack of time and
how we’re always in a rush the Lord
spoke about carrying a
yoke the Yoke was a common expression in
the first century to refer to the way in
which a rabbi read the Torah it was like
an obligation a discipline but
also it was a
metaphor of the way in
which you balance the weight of Life
marriage divorce children prayer money
sex conflicts government all that
together the balance of life
was represented by a
yoke for those of us that have never
lived in a in an
agrarian society it’s a strange thought
but let’s imagine two oxen joined
together with a yoke to pull a cart or
plow a field we might have seen it in a
in a movie a textbook or a picture two
oxen joined with a piece of wood on
their
shoulders it fits around their necks
right above their shoulders and together
they pull a cart or they plow a field
the yoke is the way to support and
balance out a
weight what made Jesus unique is not
that he had a yoke because all rabbis
had one but he had a yoke according to
him which was easy to carry and Jesus
made many invitations for people to
follow him but there was one in
particular in Matthew 11:28 I want you
to hear it I want us to hear it in a
slow blow away so that we can digest it
and so that it can enter our spiritual
metabolism he
said come to
me all of you who are
weary and carry heavy
burdens those that can’t sleep those
that live fast and
furious and I will give you
rest take wait wait take my yoke upon
you let me teach you
because I am humble and gentle at heart
I am your
example and you will find rest for your
souls he’s not speaking about physical
rest but when our soul is tired for my
yoke is easy to bear and the burden I
give you is
light this is an invitation for all that
are tired all that are weary those that
are anxious those that are stressed out
those that are stuck in life that are
that are behind drinking another coffee
to last another few hours and not fall
asleep on the freeway is there someone
like that here today or should I
reformulate the question is there
someone here that’s not like
this come to me all of you who are
stressed out tired and I will give you
rest we all have heard this text
before but in that in invitation there’s
the secret of the easy yoke one of the
least preached sermons ever so he says
something simple here but it’s very
profound here’s the secret here’s the
Axiom he says that if we want to
experiment his life Jesus’s life we have
to adopt his lifestyle he says learn
from me he didn’t
say have an easy Yol like someone that
you saw or my Father in Heaven no learn
from me let me teach you what a
lifestyle let me give you a practical
example I’ve always admired those people
doesn’t matter how old they are or where
they are in
life they always wake up at 4:45 in the
morning morning to do their workout
routine they tend to have a hard rib
cage wide
shoulders a toned neck
wide almost like a like a
tortoise fibrous arms they have biceps
triceps they’re perfect they generally
have a beard like Steven fdick or or
Gaston to try and hide any double
chin and make it look like they have a
stronger jaw when you see me with a
beard it’s because I can’t fake it
anymore 0% body fat everything is muscle
fibers they go to the bathroom and they
make shirts out of those fibers
yeah they have so much so many fibers
right I don’t
know so they have what I don’t have what
I’ll never have it’s not false modesty
I’m just a skinny guy that looks good
from far
away I look good from
far oh you look so young oh well because
from far away I look
young and I see these guys at the gym
and I always see them from the
outside and I’m a to see them running on
the treadmill with style they run like
antelopes like
gazel and they’ve been running for 2 and
a half hours they’re like gazel
elegant but when I have to run through
an airport to not miss my connecting
flight I look like the lizard in
National
Geographic I have no style when I run I
put my hands here in front and I’m like
a T-Rex I’m terrifying to look at but I
must confess that when I see these guys
I say oh I want
that the things I would give to have
that physical aspect I want to wear a
tight t-shirt and skinny jeans but with
skinny jeans you’ll feel pity for me I
know but if I had just one of those arms
I would tattoo I have a past ask me
about it
whoa but you can’t write anything on my
arm nothing nothing
fits but I want that level of health and
energy and vitality but then I think
about the lifestyle behind
that the sacrifice that these people
make to look this way so while I’m
eating a delicious Argentinian steak
with an enormous hot dog and Chim
churi they’re eating salad with celery
arugula and
walnuts I accompany my steak with a good
glass of wine but in instead they’re
drinking water and instead of peeing
they create a flood they’re always go go
go go they say you have to drink 40 lers
of water a
day I I drink two bottles of water today
and I have to I have to leave the sermon
to go to the restroom
in the morning while I drink my fifth
espresso Italian
coffee they have breakfast by
drinking a a mil a milkshake with egg
whites and they throw plums in
there and during the
winter while I hide under my my sheets
they go out in the morning to run
through the Mist so I did an analysis of
pros and
cons and I
decided as good as my arms would look if
they were
toned and if my quads were bigger I
decided it’s not worth
it in my case in my
case for that reason I’m not criticizing
them but from time to time I go to a gym
to look at them from the outside do I
want to look that way yes I would love
to but I’m not willing to adopt that
lifestyle that’s behind it
all that’s how we feel sometimes with
Jesus we read his stories we learn about
his Joy his peace in the middle of a
storm in front of
uncertainties why do you doubt man of
little faith we see his wisdom and you
say I want that life we hear the an
invitation to a life in abundance a life
of peace and we say yes yes Lord sign me
up yeah sign me up just like many of you
have signed up for
gyms and you even lost the the
application we’ve heard about that easy
yoke and rest for your soul we say yes I
need
that but we’re not willing to adopt his
life
style just that in Jesus case it is
worth it the pros and cons they’re worth
it of course it’s worth it taking the
Cross so what does it mean to follow
Jesus well it’s not just a group of
ideas what we call theology or a list of
things you have to do and things you can
do what we call Doctrine no it’s a new
lifestyle when I accept Christ in my
heart I adopt his lifestyle this is what
it means to imitate Jesus imitating
Jesus isn’t saying oh Jesus wouldn’t
answer that way no it’s imitating his
way of living there is The Treasure of
the easy Yol so what’s a lifestyle the
way in which we organize our
time there’s a magnificent phrase that
says folly or or
stupidity is doing the same thing always
yet expecting different results and
that’s exactly what we do we have a
vision at the end of every year we have
a vision of the type of life we want to
have in the new year until we come to
church or we read a book or we watch a
video and we say yes yes Lord I want
that life
now so we go from the church to our home
with all of our willpower saying that
we’re going to change but we go back to
our old lifestyle we turn on the TV we
watch another marathon and I’m not
saying it’s a
sin no I’m just talking about organizing
your time we sit on the couch again and
we spend hours on it we don’t change
anything we don’t change our
lifestyle we believe that because we
made a decision at the church and we set
a magical prayer we think our life is
going to change but no the same cycle
repeats on Sunday we make a decision and
by Tuesday we’re filled with stress
tiredness we’re distracted once again
we’re Fast and Furious but overwhelmed
why don’t we change
well you say I have the intention of
changing but we don’t adopt that new LIF
style we like the muscles looking from
the outside but we’re not willing to
make any sacrifices so if there’s
something that we can read in the four
gospels it’s that Jesus was never in a
hurry can you imagine a Jesus going to
lazarus’s
home saying hey Martha can you hurry up
with the food please I’m dying of hunger
and you’re taking an hour to make a
simple
Pusa because she wasn’t a great cook
Maria she didn’t make Argentinian dishes
it was just buas
burritos hey my friend I’m I’m waiting
all day I’ve been casting out demons
Healing The Sick all I want is a a warm
meal on the table a bit of
protein if I had known this was this was
this what this is what was on the menu I
would have passed by
Chick-fil-A Chick-fil-A doesn’t open on
Sundays in case they want to sponsor us
I’m not going to say the brand with the
clown
right or somebody comes up to him and
says Jesus what can I do to inherit
eternal
life wait give me a few minutes I’ll
send a a a message to the WhatsApp group
with all my disciples and I’ll answer
you in half an
hour Jesus saying I would love to heal
your blindness Bartholomew but you know
what my Ministry has exploded I have so
many invitations I can’t I I can’t I
word has spread that I I turned water to
wine at the
weddings and now they’re calling me to
do that all over you know what why don’t
you make an appointment with my
assistant Judas es
scariot so that I can check your eyes
and heal your blindness during the
week don’t worry he’ll actually you know
what he’ll pray for you it’s as if I’m
praying for you no the Bible narrates
that Lazarus Jesus friend was sick and
when Jesus received this message of life
and death he stayed where he was for two
more
days his best friend’s life was hanging
by a thread in another story Jesus was
teaching at a synagogue when a man named
gyrus literally fell to his feet begging
him to please save his daughter’s life
his daughter was dying again a matter of
life and death and on the way to Gus’s
home a woman with a chronic health issue
something she had been dealing with for
12 years interrupted the Lord and Jesus
took all the Time in the World to speak
with her without being in a hurry what
do you think gyrus felt I can imagine
him saying really my daughter’s dying
yet you stopped to speak with this
woman don’t you think that if she
suffered for 12 years you don’t think
she can handle another
day so every time I read this story it’s
surprises
me how present Jesus was in each moment
it surprises me how he never allowed
anything or anyone not even a medical
emergency or a suffering parent to
pressure him to advance
and Jesus was always interrupted
constantly but he never answered nervous
stressed out or upset Jesus’s agenda was
full but he never reacted in a hurry or
in a rush in a bad mood it’s not that oh
he lived in a world with no cell phones
no internet no social media no it was
his
lifestyle he’s a man that waited 30
years to preach his first
sermon and after one day as a
messiah he spent another 40 to
go fast in the desert nothing made him
hysterical and he knew that he had three
years of ministry just three sometimes
we say oh no I’m in a rush because what
do I know I have 30 years of life left
20 maybe but he knew he had
three and he would wake up early before
anyone
else he would go to a calm place to be
with his father sometimes he would leave
in the night he would leave the
multitudes and the crowds to be with God
God he knew that less is more less is
more more than once we read the story of
Jesus sleeping and the disciples were
trying to wake him up so he was
physically tired to be asleep during a
storm you have to be very very
tired I’d love to follow that Jesus that
when he could he would go to weddings
that would last three or four
days he enjoyed a good meal with his
friends with a good bottle of
wine with deep conversations at the
table that may have prolonged deep into
the
night I’m sorry for
those that want to look like John the
Baptist that
didn’t
didn’t speak with anyone didn’t drink
wine he ate locusts and
honey it’s not that he had a a a vote to
Poverty there’s no stories of Jesus
going out to buy a new tunic for his
presentation at the synagogue he never
ordered the newest sandals through
Amazon no the guy traveled light free
free of any
distractions that is generated by having
a lot of things that we don’t
need I’ve spoken to many wealthy
people a person that is newly wealthy
the first thing that they do I know many
young people that became famous they
became
singers the first thing they do is buy
two three or four luxury Vehicles they
can only drive one at a time but they
have three or four part
and if possible with the with the most
eye-catching colors because my father
used to say those that are resurrected
fleas want to buy these cars so that
everyone knows that they’re rich but
those that have old wealth know that
less is
more those that are that that are new
money by a a
mansion with a dog a cat an elephant a
giraffe all the animals in the
zoo and they live their lives like drug
dealers because they never had it but
I’ve spoken to others that are wealthy
that have had money their whole lives
and they end up living in a small
apartment or a cabin for one or two
people and if possible they don’t have
any pets because they say no i’ like to
leave the door open and just walk
outside they travel with a carry-on
because they realize that they need very
little to be happy in any case that
money is used to have experiences not to
accumulate
things and these experiences can be
traveling through the world getting to
know different places living a beautiful
life but they don’t need to buy
themselves a home they can rent whatever
they want for two days and then they
give it back somebody cleans it and then
somebody else M maintains it they
realized that maintaining that white
elephant is is foolishness that’s when
the Lord says you stubborn fool who are
you going to leave all the things you
accumulated
so less is
more less is more with all the worries
that we have all the things that occupy
our
days nothing would change if we sto
doing them social media will go on the
internet will continue working the world
will continue spinning even when we get
off this Earth everything will continue
going there are a bunch of things that
will outlive us our front lawn will
outlive us we’re going to leave and
someone else is going to cut your grass
really sometimes we spend hours and
hours and hours maintaining
upkeeping cleaning fixing why for what
all that is going to wither away because
of the law of entropy it’s all going to
wither
away it’s all going to decompose but
sometimes we’re so tied to many things I
can’t go out who can I leave my dogs
to well you can’t take three days off no
what about
cookie what about
cookie I have nothing against pets but
sometimes it’s surprises
me how we believe that we have a dog
when in reality the dog has
us I can’t leave who’s going to clean
the pool there are people like this
leave the pool let it clean
itself but there are times when we
believe we need more and the same thing
happens with time well I’m busy I’m busy
busy with what
this is what Jesus wanted to show with
the image of the Yoke in fact it’s a
strange
vocabulary above all if it’s about an
invitation to rest your soul what do you
mean a yoke yoke is for
agriculture as far as I know agriculture
is work not rest a yoke is an instrument
of
work so when Jesus offers a yoke the
last thing you would need is a tool you
would say well why doesn’t he offer a
hammock or some
vacations not a
yoke but Jesus realizes that the best GI
that he can give someone that’s
tired isn’t a rest or a
sabatical but a new way of ordering
their lives and and assuming their
responsibilities life is all about
responsibility whether we’re going to
elementary school what would our mom say
your only responsibility is to go to
school and then we have the
responsibility of going to high school
and if God is good we can go to
university we have the responsibility of
our partner of our
children life is about carrying a a
personal and spiritual burden and we’re
all looking for a way to escape that
burden of Life on this side of Eden so
Jesus instead of offering us a sabatical
oh take a sabatical take a few weeks off
go meditate in India
or or go to the Pinnacle of the mountain
in whatever country and you put on an
orange robe and say no he doesn’t offer
that he offers those practical tools for
life because if I start to say oh you
need a vacation that lasts several weeks
I know what you’re thinking oh I don’t I
can’t do that I don’t have the financial
backing to take three weeks off who can
do
that who’s going to raise my children
who
cookie so what does Jesus do
he offers a new way of carrying the
weight of our Humanity with ease by
walking by his side like two oxen on one
field joined shoulder-to-shoulder with
Jesus doing the heavy lifting I’ll do
the heavy lifting and you’ll go right
next to me carrying the responsibilities
in your life at my rhythm not in a hurry
an easy life is never an option but an
easy yoke
is walking side by side with Jesus
having him carry the weight that we
can’t whatever is impossible he’ll make
possible and then we go through life
that way a time to be a parent a time to
be a child a time to be a husband or a
wife a time to be a
professional following Jesus has to
become a
lifestyle that’s where the phrase what
would Jesus do comes from what would
Jesus do well he would take things
calmly it wasn’t n difficult for him to
serve anyone he didn’t lose his ego or
any Pride by washing the disciples feet
and he would say why he said well
because I know where I came from and I
know where I’m going if you know if we
know where we’re coming from and where
we’re going we’ll be eternally grateful
if we know where we’re going then it
won’t be tough for us to serve even the
smallest person the issue is when we
lose our origin in our destination and
that’s where it becomes tough for us to
have Jesus’s lifestyle
and then we begin to believe that we can
have the American dream
lifestyle but not even Americans are
successful with that lifestyle if not
there wouldn’t be any suicides in
Beverly Hills because it doesn’t matter
how many Oscars emmies or gramms you can
win it doesn’t matter how many awards
are on the chimney they still live empty
and
alone if life was about having your own
home then all homeowners would be happy
but sometimes they end up taking their
lives or they justest drugs to feel a
little bit of happiness and joy and the
Lord said it Solomon said it everything
beneath the sun is
vain and if we don’t adopt Jesus’s
lifestyle following Jesus will always be
an idea a Doctrine a Theology and never
a reality but here’s the
problem many of us are too busy to have
Jesus’s lifestyle that’s why it’s much
easier to empower yourself it’s like me
going into the
gym and saying hey is there a way to
have that body but I I just can’t
dedicate time to this hey but you’d have
to come to the gym no is there there’s
no way for me to say I receive I receive
I receive I receive or for one of these
buff guys to pray for me and then my
muscles get big no there’s no way but
people buy these
scams people buy these scams that’s why
people say Oh Come To The Altar and
everybody runs to the altar because they
believe that they’ll leave the altar
more muscular
if you continue with your same
lifestyle then you’re going to look the
same or you’re going to have fake
muscles caused by steroids so maybe
there’s someone here thinking all right
that’s
fine but even then I don’t know how to
make more time for myself I’m raising my
kids I have grandchildren I have a home
I have three jobs someone else might say
well I just started studying I just
started going to school it demands many
hours from me my children absorb my day
others say I don’t know why but I drag
myself to my bed at the end of the night
because I’m so tired I don’t even want
to talk to my family but these are
excuses they’re very good
excuses but I live in the same world as
you and they’re very good excuses and
they’re all Noble from a certain point
of view point of view but I’m going to
ask you a few uncomfortable questions
that you obviously don’t have to answer
out loud I’m asking myself these
questions how much time do you spend on
social
media how much time do you watch do you
spend watching movies or series don’t
answer me with an an excuse saying oh
well that that distracts me that makes
me forget the world no a direct question
deserves a direct answer how much time
doesn’t matter for
what and we if we make a serious
registry of how we use our time during
the week we’re going to be surprised to
see the amount of time that we dedicate
to things that are
insignificant it’s not that we have
something against God no of course we
would all love to have more communion
with God if not we wouldn’t be here at
church today but we’re so overwhelmed
that we don’t even realize when God is
speaking to
us God can’t find and it’s not because
it’s not powerful but because we don’t
allow it and he respects our free will
he can’t find a
gap where he can speak to us when we’re
silent it’s because we’re asleep and
it’s not that we’re bad or evil we’re
just busy
it’s not that we’re not spiritual we’re
just
distracted it’s not that we’re not
interested in Jesus it’s that we’re more
interested in movies social media Sports
shopping and so activities and
distractions and
anxiety they are killing
us almost all of us have more than
enough time to work who says oh I don’t
work because I don’t have
time in fact even if even in the busiest
times of life you find time to work
because you understand we understand if
we’re more or less intelligent we
understand that if we don’t work we
don’t eat and you make time and you find
a discipline and you get up and you work
there may be exceptions to the rule but
the majority of us we
work we just have to redistribute our
time so that
first we prioritize the kingdom of God
instead of the kingdom of entertainment
I’m not talking
about staying busy I’m talking about
about priorities if we want the life of
the person that exercises and we want to
look like the person that exercises you
don’t accomplish that by just watching
them from outside the gym this past
Friday I was being interviewed on the
radio and somebody asked me a common
question they
said it seems like you’re always
traveling you’re always doing something
how can you find time for everything and
I said it’s tough for me to explain that
for me everything I do is is as if I’m
on
vacation that’s why it’s tough for me to
take time to do nothing because I enjoy
what I do my life is easy and simple
it’s taken me almost 40 years to order
my priorities it’s still tough but once
I can more or less do it life becomes
easier
lighter I share my yoke with Jesus I’ve
learned it through pain but I’ve learned
that the church isn’t mine it’s his if
somebody leaves upset if somebody
doesn’t want to congregate anymore of
course it hurts me as a person but
they’re not leaving my flock they’re
leaving the Lord’s
flock I’ve understood that I didn’t go
up on the cross for anyone but he did
the Sheep aren’t mine they’re
his that he brings people to conferences
and the day that he decides to not for
me it’ll be fine it’s his business I’m
just
serving he lends me the ears of the
people and he inspires me to transmit
messages I can’t take credit for
anything but the day he decides to no
longer inspire me or not lend me the
ears of the
people I suppose that it’ll be because
he changed my assignment or I finished
my mission and he’ll take me with him I
don’t
know the truth is that following Jesus
is something that you do intentionally
in a deliberate way and then it becomes
easy but you might say well taking the
Cross is easy no it’ll cost us
everything but he says I’ll do the most
difficult part I’m going to help you
when you don’t understand what’s coming
when you see fog ahead of you following
Jesus is a relationship and
relationships demand and require
time he invites us to walk shoulder
toosh shoulder with him to share the
Yoke so that for us living becomes
light Christians shouldn’t be anxious we
shouldn’t be rushed or in a hurry and
every delay that happens to us at the
supermarket on the highway we should try
and say Lord there must be a purpose for
for this you want me to get to know
someone do you need me to open up my
eyes and see the woman in front of me
that if her coupons don’t suffice he’s
going to have to leave groceries behind
and it’s no good for me to give an
offering to feed the kids in Africa if I
can’t help the woman in front of me that
you can tell she lives alone and in
order to pay for that
rise she needs to gather coupons from
her
newspapers am I
just so self-consumed that I don’t
notice what’s going around what’s
happening around me and and the Lord is
constantly testing me what good is it to
go to the temple to speak about the Good
Samaritan if we’re just stepping over
the person laying on the sidewalk so
what we need is a spirituality that’s a
little slower I don’t know if it’s my
age
but I’d like to March a little slower
and live little by little it’s tough huh
I’m the type of person that eats quickly
walks quickly runs quickly but the Lord
says to me
don’t allow your soul to fall
behind don’t allow your body to get
ahead of your soul don’t let your body
outlive your soul so I I invite you this
morning afternoon night wherever you’re
watching me from whatever Nation you’re
watching from share the Yoke of your
life with Jesus obviously I insist he’ll
do all the heavy lifting the other
option is whatever you’re doing now live
Fast and Furious but
overwhelmed of course it’s worth it to
pay the price and live with him
easy calm light we’re going to give a
grand Applause to the Lord of lords the
King of
Kings once you get on your feet that
Applause has to be heard all the way in
Buenos Iris and Mexico Colombia Honduras
Dominican
Republic let it be heard in Ecuador
Chile
Paraguay let the heavens tremble that
we’ve understood how much the lord loves
us blessed are you
hallelujah holy Hallelujah come on
celebrate the king he has spoken this
morning
whoa father thank
you and now I beg you I would love for
you to pray with me and at home here
wherever you are I would love for you to
say this pray prayer and it has to do
with adopting not signing up for a gy
but adopting the lifestyle of those that
are on the treadmill and the one on the
treadmill is Jesus lord I want your
lifestyle I want the worst
storm to
not move
me that’s what our children see when
there’s no money when we don’t know how
we’re going to pay rent when we don’t
know how we’re going to face our death’s
Mom Dad they don’t lose their calm let’s
trust in God Son Well we don’t have
anything yeah but he’s been faithful
what could be the worst
thing there’s a beautiful Bridge here
where we can sleep under for a few
days it’s not being okay with nothing
it’s just not losing your calm not
losing your calm is what
attracts Marines to a captain a captain
on a ship says you know what I’ve had
worse worse
trips that’s what makes you trust in the
pilot hey don’t don’t worry oh
fly this plane I know how to do this
that’s what makes you trust in a pastor
that says don’t worry everything’s going
to be okay I’m not promising you an easy
life I’m promising you an easy yoke an
easy discipline we’re going to get out
of this one but for that you have to
change your lifestyle you have to change
a few
habits and maybe it’ll be a few basic
changes like going to the gym but in
spiritual terms you get up early and
before your coffee you say I’m going to
dedicate five five five minutes to
prayer without your mind
wandering maybe instead of grabbing your
phone and sitting on the toilet as soon
as I wake
up maybe use that time to say Lord do
you have something for me this day
little things like that this isn’t a
call to make a vow of
ostracism and going to live in a
monastery or a Convent no it’s taking
the Yoke continuing to do what we’re
doing doing now
but what do you listen to those of us
that have cars on your way to work
news what about if one day out of the
week we put on praise and worship music
and we sang on our way to
work what if that was your way to go
back home maybe that would change your
mood before you see your
family these little
disciplines before you turn on turn on
the TV what if I grab the Bible or a
Christian book and I promise to read two
pages a
day because there’s someone that says I
don’t like to read no no no I don’t read
in Spanish well then read in English or
a Mexican what do I
know but a book two pages just two pages
two pages of a Christian book the
majority of answers to the great
problems in life were already written
down by Christian
authors the great problems and
Leadership were already
answered read any book by Maxwell or any
author want they were already written
down there you’ll find all the
resolutions you just have to read and
when you read one or two pages out of a
book any book any
book it changes your Lexicon your way of
speaking it changes your culture your
way of expressing yourself and it’s all
there but of course it’s always easier
to do it on your phone no you don’t read
on your phone you’re just reading titles
you see images you see words I’m talking
about how can I cultivate myself how can
I become a better person how can I fill
my deposit with Biblical passages so
that when I’m in a trial the Holy Spirit
can bring that back to my memory
whatever I deposited into my
mind if all you do is watch series and
that’s what’s going to come come to ma
to mind when you’re in
problems it’s not Doctrine it’s not
legalism it’s just using Jesus’s
lifestyle we want to lose weight while
we have to say oh I have to it’s not
that I have to start eating grass or I
have to start eating celery and lettuce
no you say all right fried foods are not
good for me carbs are killing me flour
all that all those grains that I eat in
the
morning those big old burgers that
Americans eat when they have to open
their mouths like hippopotamus is what
would happen if we just reduced portions
lifestyle is for everything spiritual
physical soul and then you look in the
mirror and you say wow I look
good and you motivate your self to say
all right I’m going to eat healthy why
should I eat burgers every day why
should I eat junk food every day if we
know that we’re clogging Our arteries
it’s doing us
wrong it makes us tired we make each
meal the Last Supper we go to bed to
digest everything while we’re laying
down we wake up tired and we go on and
on and on and we say Lord bless me but
God says change your
lifestyle everything has to change the
way in which we consume entertainment
the way we the way we feed ourselves the
way we pray the way we seek God you’re
going to realize that your whole body
your soul and your spirit they’re all
related suddenly your bad mood goes away
we raise our voice
less when the line of the supermarket
gets slower we won’t want to kill the
person in front of us when we’re stuck
in traffic we give thanks because God
wants to stop us for something to speak
to us about something or for us to
listen to something maybe I don’t know
for us to meditate or maybe he is
helping us avoid an accident that would
have happened up ahead the spiritual
world is real and if you Le live
self-consumed with that drug that
dopamine on social media of course
they’re they’re blessed tools everything
is allow but not everything helps
me
anything in moderation not being able to
have a meal without a tequila or a glass
of wine or not being being able to eat
with the TV turned off or you leave a
restaurant because there’s no Wi-fi well
that’s a sign that we’re addicted and
the Lord is jealous I am jealous and if
you place me in the center everything
else is fine but I want you to place me
in the center of your life we’re going
to adopt the Lord’s lifestyle do you
believe it yes or
no come on we’re going to
pray father thank you for this time we
ask for your blessing we ask for your
glory upon us today pour out your
blessing in
abundance bless us
today those of us that have decided to
transform form our
lifestyle and we place at your feet our
body our soul our mind and
spirit take control of the four
dimensions take control today
Lord look at
those that have taken care of their
bodies in their own way those that have
Eating Disorders those that have issues
with sugar with water with with sodas
with whatever it is say Lord I need to
change my
lifestyle for my
health those whose
souls are exhausted say I have to change
my spiritual
lifestyle I have to create a new time to
reflect change my life as I knew it whoa
lift up your hands and pray with me
Father Here here at home those that are
receiving Christ in their hearts let me
add it’s not just about saying forgive
my sins but I adopt your
lifestyle the Lord tells me to remind
you learn from me for I am gentle and
humble carry this yoke with me I will
help you do not fear I will help you I
will carry the weight with
you the Lord says do not fear
for my yoke is easy and the burden is
light blessed are
you father I’ve transmitted what I
believe you told me to tell your people
your
army I haven’t added or omitted what I
believe to be your Revelation but I know
that your Holy Spirit has reached the
places that I could not reach their
Spirit the lord loves you so much he
loves you so much princess prince how
the lord loves you I bless you
I blow upon you a new air a new oxygen a
new
atmosphere of beginning a
new it’s the right time we’re beginning
the month of April and we can say Lord
these three months might have been lost
already but this fourth month from now

[Music]
commit to adopt your lifestyle to have
time to use 10 15 minutes a day to go
and rest early I will go to bed in peace
and I will sleep that way because only

declare it and in your name we say Amen
