ENGLISH Dante Gebel #867 | Men on the brink of extinction

Today we are facing a generation of men with unstable spirits, in which emotional fragility stands out; a group of men who “complain about everything, cry about everything and fight about nothing”. However, our God is a warrior, strong and fearsome in battle, and he personally leads his own armies. Life will provide us with a thousand opportunities to train our character as men and we must not shy away from that. Battles are not won by sweeping conflict under the rug. Let’s set passivity aside and remember that we are made in the image of God. Let’s reclaim masculinity once and for all within our ranks!

[Music]

each country are presented here with all

these flags Ecuador Bolivia Mexico

Ecuador you have to help me please with

the signs because I can’t learn all the

flags but God bless all of you welcome

home the King is in the house don’t stop

that Applause we receive the people from

Europe Asia Africa Australia all of

America on this very special day good

morning good afternoon good

night people all over the world we’re

happy we’re joyous thank you for

connecting with us we’ve been here for

what about 50 minutes now here at home

locally worshiping singing celebrating

but now is the moment in which we

connect with that marvelous virtual

church that watches from the other side

they’re always there at home in the

living rooms those thousands literally

thousands of devices that connect live

to be a part of our church if only we

could see you imagine how many stadiums

we would fill throughout the week it

goes beyond a million devices but right

now live through Facebook and YouTube we

might have 40 50 60,000 people sorry

devices there might be a whole family

behind each screen so I can imagine that

it’s many many stadiums so we send an

enormous greeting to you and it fills us

with a great responsibility but this is

the church that the Lord has brought

today those that are here and those that

are on the other side may God bless you

may he protect you thank you for

connecting with us I’m going to transmit

in just a few minutes what I believe God

told me to tell you but

before we just came back from the Holy

Land we just came back from the Republic

of

Argentina and it was truly marvelous

everything that we were able to live

this tour that has seen 40 different

cities all over the world it started in

Argentina and Buenos Idis more than a

year and a half ago with two events at

the Luna Park Stadium then we went to

the rest of the world but this time we

went back to

Argentina this month we still have to go

to monter

walara Peru

Chile but this is what happened at the

movie star Arena in Buenos

cidis where the people came from very

early

on and there was no public transport on

that

day for a a an issue that doesn’t

correspond to us but we thought that the

people’s arrival would become

complicated because many people take

public

transport however

despite the inclement weather as

well the stadium was filled by a

multitude it was Mar marvelous more than

10,000 people came out to this Stadium

it’s incredible it’s the movie star

Arena everyone was there and among those

that were present many politicians many

artists I’m not trying to say that the

rest aren’t important but look we also

had so famous soccer

players it surprises me that the message

was able to reach everyone with without

distinction without distinction of

religions credos no political divides

everyone was there those that are

right-wing or leftwing in political

terms actors actresses and then

people from all walks of life models all

professions I think that people from all

social levels came they were expectant

listening to a message that lasted 2

hours and 20 minutes

no

music nothing more than just the

rhetoric the conference

itself like I say each

weekend I play with the idea of what

would we do if we were president of a

country in my case my

nation so we go through the different

stages of life and I would say I ask all

the the listeners to remember their

Origins to Value

time to face their old age with with

with dignity to face the imminent death

and that’s what we spoke about in the

end my message directs all the people to

Jesus Christ to have an encounter with

him in the end but it’s marvelous

because they laugh for almost two hours

they also cry for two hours it’s a

mixture of

emotions and it’s

fascinating to see how their hearts

begin to open up the barriers come down

I had many meetings in Argentina with

politicians with business people with

artists and they all said the same thing

they had a lot of prejudices they

thought that it was a religious matter

because I’m a pastor and so they thought

that there was a hidden agenda but they

realized that no especially in my

country every time I

go everything that we collect for the

events is is donated but it’s always a

surprise for that night we never say buy

the tickets because they’ll be donated

no it’s always a surprise there are

those that say well why is it a business

why do you take the money but that night

we surprise them that we donate to

nonprofit

organizations so I give thanks to these

two foundations everything we collected

in the in that night was donated to two

institutions the Mother Teresa School

that takes children out of poverty they

have almost a thousand

students and then also the house of

culture on the

streets it helps addicted youth

to get out of that vicious

cycle Julian Welch the one speaking with

the

microphone is the Godfather of of the

Mother Teresa home and on the person on

the other side is Gaston Pauls the actor

who also acted as R Pala in a

biopic they’re two great actors two

great TV hosts but in Gaston’s case he’s

the founder of the House of street

co and they both received that donation

of everything that was collected in

Buenos itis if anybody thought that I

needed to go seek money in my country no

on the contrary it was to go and

contribute something to be able to help

in this way especially those that always

criticized by saying well why do you

charge and in donating all the costs

everything we have to pay for we have to

pay our on our own I’m not trying to

boast about this because then there’s

another criticism don’t let your left

hand know what your right hand is doing

but the point is for people to realize

that there are places we choose

intentionally to sew in and since an

image is worth more than a thousand

words here’s a short video I think it

lasts about a minute of what happened in

Argentina after this remember we’re

going to montere waha and Peru and then

also Chile Bolivia as well and then

Paraguay that’s what’s left before we go

to Spain this is what happened in

Argentina

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

watch now

for for

[Music]

[Music]

oh agreeing to all of

Argentina they always receive us so well

and the reports are always great they

made me feel very comfortable and it’s

beautiful to have a place to be able to

go back

to you never forget your roots in fact

in the conference I say you can forget

about where you

are in one way or another we become

citizens of the world those of us that

travel often sometimes it’s going to

sound glamorous what I’m about to say

but there’s no glamour in it it’s a

whole lot of stress waking up one

morning and not knowing what country

you’re in if you’re changing your hotel

continually I’ve had four or five events

Alto together and I wake up in the

morning and I ask Where’s the restroom

good thing I don’t go to the balcony to

go to the restroom but sometimes you

don’t even know what hotel you’re in

what city what country but when I’m in

those places they put a sign or they so

that I don’t mess up so I don’t go to

waha and say good morning

mon so they say remember we’re in this

place we’re in this city but when you

become a citizen of the world in this

way barriers become gray they disappear

and when you go back to your country you

remember your Ruth you say this is where

I’m from from this neighborhood from

this place and so that’s always

marvelous especially in an Argentina

that I love so much like it happens with

all of you with your Mexico Salvador

Dominican Republic Columbia wherever it

is God brought you from we love our

countries so thank you my my brothers

for receiving us a strong Embrace I’ll

see you soon it was marvelous very well

are we ready stay with me I’m

ready among some of the particularities

that we have here at River

Arena one is the enormous amount of men

that Cong

here and it’s not something regular for

many many

years the church in

general the majority of the church was

composed by

women why well it happens in Catholicism

it happens within the Protestant

church where generally speaking there

are more there are more men in the

Jewish tradition or in the synagogues

but in Christianity the majority of the

church has always been women

but the singularity in our case is that

we have a great attendance from both

sexes I would say maybe half half and

half

5050 of men and

women I haven’t done an exhaustive

investigation as to what the reasons are

of this local phenomenon but I believe

that that was the Lord’s will how he

wanted it and today’s sermon even though

it seems like it’s exclusively directed

to men it profoundly affects women and I

might even say the family in general

when you speak to women by transitive

character it inherently affects their

children when you speak to men it

affects the whole family it affects the

women they the children daughters Sons

so first of

all we have to be very honest with

ourselves no matter the sex we have to

be open to receive this

word us men have grown

up in a

patriarchy I don’t want to say a

retrograde Society but it was

patriarchal where we’ve been

indoctrinated from a young age

especially those that come from my

generation that a wound is something

that should be

hidden someone here like myself must

have heard from their fathers men don’t

cry suck it up because showing a wound

as a man is an enormous Fountain of

Shame when I say wound I can mean a

physical wound or a broken heart or a

broken or amputated soul and for that

reason sometimes us men don’t want to

admit that there are things that we have

to heal that we should heal and allow

God to

intervene in that sense women are more

open to heal

so I immediately

identify there are always rules to or

exceptions to the rule but the faminine

gender seeks out the pathology quicker

to find the therapy but not us men

that’s why when us men go to the

hospital we don’t go by our own will

we’re taking in an ambulance right and

we say I’m healthy I’m doing just fine

but

women if any

anomaly comes up they go and have a a

consultation but men are more resistant

to that and I think as far as wounds we

have to be more open King David had no

problems in recognizing in Psalm

109 for I am poor and needy and my heart

is wounded within me he was the king the

Monarch the head of state the

commanderin-chief of the Armed Forces of

Israel

however he didn’t hesitate in saying I’m

wounded

his writings

are open

Confessions of a man that needed to be

healed he needed God to intervene in his

heart and today my task is to remind you

here in the local church as well as

those that are watching from all over

around the globe I have to remind you

that

God is Faithfully committed in the

restoration of the masculine heart and

if we allow that to happen then I insist

women will also benefit and be blessed

when a man

heals women are also

blessed not just in that immediate

environment but the gender in general a

wound that is hidden away a wound that

is that is that is

covered is a wound that can’t be

healed in spiritual life it always

begins with the

acceptance of our wounded

self recognizing our wounds because

whatever is denied can’t be healed

remember the phrase there’s no worse

blind man than the one that doesn’t want

to see well the person that says I don’t

need anything I’m fine you can’t heal

them because not until they recognize

that there’s a pathology within them

there won’t be a therapy and by

consequence there won’t be a healing

with that being

said let me go Ahad and transmit what I

believe God told me to tell you what I

believe he’s placed in my heart

there’s a certain type of modern

Amnesia a generalized forgetfulness ands

to one of the most important qualities

about God that is hardly ever

mentioned one of the most important

qualities of God in the Old and New

Testament in the old pact and the new is

that God is a

warrior Exodus 153 says the Lord is a

warrior the Lord is his name God is a

warrior he’s a man a a being of

War Isaiah 4213 says the Lord will March

out how Like A Champion Like a Warrior

he will stir up his Zeal with a shout he

will raise the battlecry and will

triumph over his

enemies it seems like a description of a

character played by Mel Gibson or

Sylvester Stallone but it’s speaking

about God who wakes up

with the

battlecry Jeremiah 2011 says but the

Lord is with me like a mighty warrior so

my persecutors will stumble and not

Prevail they will fail and be thoroughly

disgraced isn’t it marvelous yes or no

because he’s there like a powerful

Warrior he’s not described as an old

scile

man he’s not described as a grandpa who

seats his grandchildren At His Feet no

he’s described as a powerful Warrior

Psalm 24:7 says lift up your heads you

Gates be lifted up you ancient doors

it’s saying this door is too small for

the one that is to come through Elevate

yourselves lift up your ancient doors

because the king of glory is going to

enter in Rome when we go to Rome there’s

a

particularity that all the doors even in

the coliseums that survive today or the

ruins of those coliseums the ruins of

the old world the ancient world they

have very very small

doors literally any Westerner that goes

there has to has to hunch down because

the Romans were

short so to not feel

inferior so that their self-esteem

wasn’t damaged the doors were very very

small so that they wouldn’t feel so bad

because if they went through big

doors they would feel like our

Gutierrez they would feel like

doors that’s where lift up your

doors that’s where it comes

from who is this king of glory this

Brave Warrior who is the king of glory

the lord strong and mighty how

beautiful so our God is a warrior strong

and feared in

battle and he guides his own Warriors

his own soldiers his Infantry

it’s not that he used to be and now this

is just poetic license from the prophets

no he still is he was in a Warrior when

he was young but now in 2024 he’s an old

retired man living in Florida that

proclaims a hippie love because he’s too

old to

fight no God isn’t

Biden he’s not

Trump he’s not any of the leaders around

the world where we say well he’s an old

man no God is isn’t an old man he’s big

and great but he’s not an old being

someone you might say oh well he used to

be a young man no God is the warrior

that made Man In His

Image and one

particularity that we find in

scripture is when the Lord’s Spirit

comes over a man specifically a male it

doesn’t effeminate him it doesn’t

domesticate him it doesn’t make him into

a timid man or a peaceful religious

person someone that’s withdrawn or

prudish much less into an effeminate

it’s not that suddenly oh now because I

have the Peace of the Lord I’m like a

white dove no that’s not what

happens when the Holy Spirit comes upon

a man like in the case of

Samson judges

15 14 says the spirit of the Lord came

powerfully upon him he was about to die

Samson trapped by his enemies and it

says the spirit of the Lord came

powerfully upon

him what happened he didn’t necessarily

speak in tongues nor did he Shake nor

did he fall onto the floor like a wet

noodle no the ropes on his arms became

like charred

flxs and the bindings dropped from his

hands and finding a fresh Jawbone of a

donkey because he didn’t have a weapon

it was still fresh he grabbed it and

struck down a thousand men with a

Jawbone of a

donkey imagine what he could have done

with a sword with a

weapon of course I once wrote a joke

when I when I was more of a comic of

someone that goes and says Pastor I’ve

seen Samson kill a thousand Philistines

with the Donkey Jaw so I have hopes that

God can use me and the pastor says I

have no doubt if God was able to use Sam

with a with a donkey imagine what he can

do with a whole

Donkey now this about Samson breaking

the ropes it’s taught in all the Sunday

schools our children hear these this

story as well as David and Goliath and

and Noah’s

Ark but I’ve never heard a teacher say

and what happened with Samson children

is what happens when God’s spirit comes

over a

man no because we think that

nowadays the way a man is Anointed has

changed when the Holy Spirit comes over

a man he speaks in tongues he shakes a

little bit he’s a little bit bad but

Samson as soon as he’s filled with the

spirit of God he becomes a great warrior

a feared Warrior when God’s spirit falls

upon him it’s like spinach for popey for

those that have a good memory or Hulk or

when David Banner becomes the Incredible

Hulk suddenly a superpower takes over

him possesses him and he becomes

that undefeated Warrior when you see

Samson’s life before that he’s not much

more than a fool he does foolish things

he has no character but when the Holy

Spirit comes upon him his last great Act

of war is heroic and it didn’t just

happen with Samson judges 310 says the

Spirit of the Lord came on othneil so

that he became Israel’s judge and went

to war he went to war because he was

filled by the spirit judges 634 says

then the spirit of the Lord came on

Gideon it possessed him I love that

because we think that possession is just

for the enemy that woman is possessed my

mother-in-law is

possessed poor devil what does he have

to do with the

mother-in-laws she had already come

possessed

but we always think that possession has

to do with demonic things but the word

is used often possessed Gideon was

possessed by the spirit of the

Lord and he went out to

war possessed by God in movies we’ve

seen what happens when someone is

possessed by a

demon what do you think it’s like to be

possessed by the Lord by the spirit of

the

lord well the Bible gives us hint he

went out toward

War he was left in a trance meditating

in tibbet he went out to war judges

11:29 then the spirit of the Lord came

on

jeffa and he went out to war the man

changes but it’s the same spirit and

Samuel 1613

says and from that day on the spirit of

the Lord Came powerfully Upon

David it’s a bravery courage it’s

intrinsic to the Holy Spirit inherent of

his

fillment so our image of

Jesus it’s as if has it’s as if it has

deterior deteriorated because of our

culture and what we’ve been sold in film

or figures we’ve seen in an image and

very few of us relate Jesus with a

warrior in fact I’ve even seen

people that have a tough time trying to

justify the day when Jesus acted like a

man he was fed up and in an act of

aggression premeditated

aggression he took the time to make a

whip with ropes and he used it against

the merchants that occupied the atriums

of the temple we forget that he stopped

to make a

whip I wasn’t so afraid of my father

because he erupted from Zer to 100

quickly

and you would

escape and like the majority of men 5

minutes later he forgot would fed him up

but Mom she was cold and

calculated and she began like this I

would ask what are you doing and she

would say I’m fixing my

slipper and with a coldness that I’ve

only seen in

Putin she would go like this and she

would throw that

slipper had

sensors that would follow you to

wherever you escaped

to that was a premeditated violence

while the Lord says that he made himself

a

whip it’s not that he couldn’t manage

his emotions in that moment and he had

to repent or he regretted it it wasn’t a

sudden mood swing no it was a facet of

the Son of God he was because he wanted

to be there and he this is part of

scripture because he wants us to know

that he was like that we say no Jesus

wouldn’t act that way he would speak to

them with love merchants of the temple

would you be so gracious as to

leave you don’t expect that type of

conduct of throwing out the the

merchants with a

whip but we misinterpret what it means

to be meek and humble our God is a

warrior because they there are certain

things in life that we have to fight for

that you have to battle for there’s no

other

option we inherited the character of the

father children that become musicians or

doctors it’s because maybe their father

loved music or or or or the child

studies whatever the father

studies our children inherit much more

than just

genes and so by transitive character we

inherit

that Spirit of being a warrior of

fighting of standing on two firm feet

with our

convictions that’s when we begin to

understand God’s heart that’s when we

begin to understand it a little bit

more we should fight for the institution

of family which degrades day by day

because of this modern world we live in

we should fight for our children whether

they’re ours or not fight for them

in an interview that I had in

Argentina somebody was saying to

me you have to give children the choice

the the ability to choose and I said you

have to give human beings the ability to

choose of course God gave us free will

but not when we’re underage while

they’re still our

responsibility when children still don’t

know what they want how they want

it our

children can eat can E before dinner if

there are no rules we can’t say well I

let my child eat whatever they want I

want to raise a free being no you have

to educate them it’s called

education and when you tell them to

choose their own sex when they’re seven

or eight years old and we call them they

them because for

us genitalia now in in this postmodern

Society Society doesn’t mean anything

anymore we’re

not just not educating them but we’re

indoctrinating them into something that

they’re not capable to choose from so

you have to fight for those

rights whether they’re in the Bible or

not they’re morals they’re

ethics we have to fight for our friends

for our friendships we have to fight for

our

friendships even if our friend makes a

mistake I always say that I have few

friends but I’m a very good friend to my

friends and I would go visit them in

prison and I wouldn’t ask them why

they’re there I don’t question them

sometimes I say I can’t believe your

friends with this guy no I’m a friend of

my friends no matter what they do with

their lives whether I agree with it or

not I can’t look for perfect friends why

because I can’t offer

Perfection it makes me laugh when people

say I’m looking for a perfect Church

well what are you going to offer to that

perfect Church most likely you’re going

to ruin it as soon as you arrive

so be patient with me because I’m a

little tired and I have no

filter doctors fight for their patients

lives teachers fight for the hearts and

the future of of their

students so let’s think about it

anything that’s good or beautiful that’s

worth anything in this life we’re going

to

realize that you can’t protect that

thing if we don’t fight battle over it

you don’t good things don’t protect

themselves we live in a

time with very fragile men this isn’t

new the good thing is that a woman isn’t

preaching to you but a a colleague and I

recognize

it we want to lose weight by eating junk

food new cars new homes without thinking

about the

debts there are employees that when you

ask them for an extra hour or an extra

mile they start to complain about the

pressure coming from

above there are many men with low

self-esteem and low tolerance to

criticism rejection and frustration

there’s a whole

generation currently something we’ve

never seen before with an unstable mood

it even happens with ministers it

surprises me to see the amount of

ministers that abandon their pulpits

because they need to take a sabatical

because of the extreme stress or because

they’ve become depressed and I say what

about the people what’s left for them

what’s left for those that are

navigating on that boat can a man of God

become depressed yeah of

course the person doesn’t respect

respect anyone’s spiritual stature but

what about saying oh I woke up sad I’m

perceiving myself as depressed today no

leaders are made of that despite the

problems and the sadness you have to

continue with your assignment so there

are people that are prepared for success

for Triumph for empowerment but when

things start to go bad

when people face an imponderable or

they’re

criticized an a disproportionate

intolerance breaks out within

them that it said that it’s a group of

men that complains about everything

cries about everything but doesn’t fight

for

anything and our children the majority

of our children fall under this umbrella

as well I can’t generalize but the

majority of them specialized sociologist

just confirmed that we’re on our

way to Crystal men Crystal manhood or

the extinction of the male

gender our children become depressed

because their teachers rais their voices

at them or they want to bring a lawsuit

to anyone that speaks against them you

can’t even speak to them in a tone

that’s higher than the norm because

immediately they feel abused so family

Authority

institutional Authority produces

rejection frustration they don’t like to

receive

orders they need constant recognition

they have very little tolerance to

rejection and if you go out and live

life with a low tolerance to rejection

then we’re messed up because in life

they’re going to reject this in many

ways many areas many

places the psychological concept used to

describe children that develop

physically whether they’re

underfed it’s called dwarf

depravity Pigg me

depravity to be depraved is

to detour the natural use well there are

thousands or millions of men that are

dwarves in their personalities and their

emotions due to the fact that they

didn’t mature due to the fact that they

have a retardation in their maturity and

someone that doesn’t mature is always

blaming others if their marriage fails

it’s because of the crazy wife they were

dealt if they abandoned their kids it’s

because it was the pressure that didn’t

let them breathe and they had to leave

to go seek New Horizons if they’re fired

from their jobs it’s because the manager

didn’t understand him and so the problem

is always out there in others they hurt

me they betrayed me I wasn’t pastored

it’s sad to hear a man saying I wasn’t

given love

really I was discouraged they didn’t

call me back women don’t laugh too much

because next week I’m going to talk to

you you’re all saying oh yeah hold on

it’s coming for you

too there’s a lot coming for you

too no but there are men that live

irritated

sensible and Matthew 11:12 conf

firms from the days of John the Baptist

until now the Kingdom of Heaven has been

subjected to violence and violent people

have been raiding

it who raids it the

violent it doesn’t say oh they suffer

violence but but hang in there no the

violent raid the

kingdom it doesn’t speak about the fact

that the kingdom is given to people made

of butter no we’re in a war we’re in a

battle which is called life and this

battle makes you dirty it has collateral

effects there are people that end up

wounded and many times people die in war

the kingdom of heaven isn’t made for men

that wear diapers and disappear when

things get

ugly there’s a a

biopic called Cinderella Man based on a

on the story of of James radic and it

shows that when he fought when he boxed

he would defeat

opponents that were much bigger than him

every time he would go into the boxing

ring he had the fire of a warrior but it

wasn’t Rocky bboa a fictitious character

no he was a real boxer so at a news

conference they asked him what motivates

you to fight like a lying in this way

and he answered

milk he fought for the survival of his

family so that they would

never not have milk in the fridge this

was during the Great depression and he

saw how his children cried because of

the pain in their stomachs since they

didn’t have anything to eat and he said

I’m never going to allow them to not

have milk sometimes to awaken the

warrior in a

man God allows the battle to hit close

to home because there are two paths

there when they when they beat your home

the easy route for you to pray and ask

God to provide milk or those that go out

and fight for that milk those that say I

have no other choice

I got to put on my pants and go

out suck it up and battle one of the

saddest stories in the story of Israel

is produced when they find themselves at

the brink of a completely new life they

arrive at the promised land they’re

right outside it just as God had

promised God isn’t a makavelic being

that TI them out to the desert to go in

circles for 40 years for no

reason they made it in the stipulated

time they made it to the Border maybe 3

months and in

Deuteronomy 126 God says but you were

unwilling to go up you

rebelled against the command of the Lord

your God he didn’t make it easy for them

he didn’t say oh you want it the easy

way let me go and kill all your enemies

right now with the heart attack no they

they were unwilling to

fight and you ask well why did God send

them to fight because that’s what he

does he’s a warrior he’s Brave he’s

powerful he’s courageous fight my son

fight they were unwilling to fight and

they rebelled against the command of

their

God you grumbled in your tents and

said you grumbled like gossipers I added

that in

but you grumbled in your tents and said

the Lord hates us so he brought us out

of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of

the amorites to destroy us It produced

so much pain in the Lord’s heart seeing

them gossip saying oh no over there we

ate onions and we ate

olives and I

said do not be terrified do not be

afraid of them the Lord your God who is

going before

you but they did not trust in the Lord

your

God so you will not see the land that I

promised you so that the decision to not

fight made them wander through the

desert for 40

years and all those people died in the

desert and they were not able to step

into the promised land because of their

disbelief I’ve heard hundreds of

messages saying the desert is

inevitable God will always send you to

the desert he allows it to process you

we misinterpret what happened

people the desert is something that you

can

avoid the reason they were delayed by 40

years through the desert is because they

didn’t want to fight in other words the

desert was the consequence of being

unwilling to fight and denying God and

is called to fight if we speak in the

terms of the desert that Israel was

in there’s also the desert that Jesus

goes

into to fast and have spiritual warfare

it’s not that God keeps people in the

desert people keep God in the desert and

I believe that even

nowadays in place of believing a warrior

God we prefer to lift up the white flag

and surrender because that’s what we

think it means to be Christian we assume

or we believe that while we sleep God is

the one who’s going to resist the devil

that’s a dangerous thought it’s

anti-biblical to expect God to resolve

our lives and put training wheels on our

bicycle a father that truly loves his

children doesn’t take them to the

restroom unless they have have a

disability he doesn’t bathe them until

they’re 18 years old he doesn’t take the

breakfast until they’re 40 and if

somebody does it well then that’s why

your child is like

that James 4:7

confirms so submit yourselves then to

God obey his orders resist the devil and

he will flee from you resist the

devil so we live in a in a world where

there’s spiritual warfare but current

modern Christianity always empowers us

to buy the newest car they tell us

you’re going to be an owner you’re going

to stop

renting amongst other or in parenthesis

as if renting placed us in a lower

category of humanity they tell us that

if

we cry out and and and declare it the

the souls will come to us but I’ve have

never heard or few times I’ve heard

people say go out and fight and when I

say fight I don’t mean go fight against

the first Asian that cuts you off no I’m

talking about fighting for the things

that are worth your

while if not we end up in a passivity

disguised as Words of War but in reality

God sees us like ships

sinking like the board game Battleship

we already

put four Flyers around the city we

already prayed for 10 minutes yeah

continue playing but that’s not fighting

we already cried out on the Altar and we

declared it because our words have power

but no that’s just faith and faith I can

sit down on a gas tank and it won’t take

me

anywhere that’s what faith and faith is

in the name of Jesus in the name of

Jesus but that gas tank won’t take you

anywhere Gas Works when it’s placed by

faith into a vehicle so Us Men We

tend to suffer from that passivity that

obviously has broken the heart of many

women and many

children many men we like to have

emotional or spiritual sectors of Our

Lives that are

passive sectors of surrender I call them

demilitarized zones where we don’t want

war and it’s fine I’m not saying it’s

wrong but we have many places where we

say I won’t bother you you don’t bother

me my dad was like this my dad said

I go out to work every day to bring food

to the table so when I come home you

can’t bring any problems to me obviously

I never went up to him to say that they

bullied me at school I never bothered

him with matters of of my Identity or

what how I felt shame in being poor I

could never speak to him because Dad was

busy doing bigger things but he didn’t

work at the Pentagon he was a carpenter

but we couldn’t bother dad ever and that

doesn’t just happen at home but also

with the church with work with friends

with

God it saddens me to

think and all the things that my dad

gave up throughout his

years and he waited for things to be

fixed magically he would say this will

fix

itself but God takes for granted that

men should act they have to intervene

they have to be intentional why because

I insist he created us in His image

in his

likeness and passivity has no

place in genuine

masculinity the worst insult for a man

is to be passive and when I speak about

masculinity I’m not talking about the

genitalia that makes us men because dogs

also have that genitalia but that

doesn’t make them men we can be born

male but you become a true man only by

choice because the majority of men Us

Men We like

action sometimes we don’t want to live

through it we just want to see

it a man sees an accident on the road

they say wait wait let me see whoa look

at that they like to see

action we watch a show on TV that’s

showing healthy food while we eat your

pepperoni pizza we say yeah we should

start eating

healthy we watch 22 players running

behind the ball while we have a beer in

our hands with chips in the other hand

we we shout to them where they should

run to run the other way run the other

way the poor guys are running on there

like fools and the game ends and what do

we say ah what a shame how could they

play that way learn to

play ah give me the remote control I

don’t want to get up from my

couch but the players have to learn how

to run it’s incredible right

why because we have a gene for action

but while it’s dormant we just want to

watch it we’re just pornographers of

action how we want to see how others run

but women need drama betrayal

romance suspense and the happy ending at

67

Central there’s a novel of

452

chapters us men need a movie where

it’s in somebody grabs a pistol and

kills 700 ninjas Japanese Indian African

ninja whatever it is it doesn’t matter

if there’s no script if there’s no no

plot we want the plane to crash the city

to explode the aliens to attack we want

the zombies King Kong or Godzilla to

attack we need something to attack

right why because we were created by God

and we

found courage in the boxer

that that fought another

round something tells us that’s where

you that’s where you come from when we

see a player that scores in the last

minute and turns a result on its head

then that lion or that tiger comes out

from within why because

that is our is our

image when the when the movie ends when

the game ends instead of going out to

fight for our children’s honor we give

them a tablet so that they can lock

themselves in their room and not bother

us

instead of being

passionate instead of being passionate

and seeking God we become passionate and

having Netflix marathons so passivity is

the first sin that we inherited from

Adam passivity comes from

Eden I’m convinced that Man’s first sin

wasn’t eating the fruit but rather his

passivity we always ask what was Adam

doing why didn’t Eve make AA instead of

eating that

fruit all she needed to do was make some

tortillas but she took the fruit so what

was Adam doing while eve took the

forbidden fruit well according to

Genesis 36 he was there with

her because it says that she took the

fruit and gave it to Adam if not it

would have said she went and looked for

him throughout the

whole garden and found him with the

giraffe no no no he was next to her

and whatam Adam say he didn’t say

anything he didn’t do anything he didn’t

comment

anything he saw what tree she had gotten

it from and from then on out we’re going

to see many men that allow themselves to

not say anything to not bring discomfort

to not

act in first

Samuel scripture gives us an unfortunate

image of what passiveness and and its

consequences are the priest Eli served

the Lord in the in the Tabernacle and he

was a priest for all the people in

Israel he had a religious posture if you

may vicarious but he also had political

status he had two

children ofne and

Phineas who were also

priests but they were also scammers they

were

Rascals they stole the people’s

offerings and with that money they would

organized orgies inside of the

temple when their father found out what

they were doing he tells

them young man why do you do such things

I hear from all the people about these

Wicked Deeds of yours no my sons the

report I hear spreading among the Lord’s

people is not good that’s all he

did he gave them a speech he said hey

careful with the people’s

comments if you read the episode again

it chills your blood because he’s saying

if you’re going to do it at least be

discreet about

it or in the temple and you steal the

offering I don’t like what I’m hearing

about you guys take care of yourselves

it’s not good for the people to to

spread this a father that saying do it

but do it in behind closed doors don’t

let them see you he didn’t do anything

to stop them but he was the judge for

the people he should have sentenced them

he should have acted

if you have a friend that’s a judge and

you tell him that you committed a crime

even if he’s your friend because of his

profession he has to condemn you same

thing if you have a friend that’s a

police officer if you tell them

that that you killed somebody and they

don’t tell anyone and they find and then

later on it’s found out that they knew

and didn’t say anything then they’re

also

arrested he should have acted and though

he was a priest in the temple he didn’t

remove them from their

possessions to at least maintain their

credibility in their priesthood but he

chose the easier route to be passive he

spoke he thought like many men think

nowadays I knew that they were having

problems but I just don’t want to have

problems with them their adolescence

what can I ask

them yeah but you know they can be doing

things wrong yeah but you know what he’s

a guy I was worse than him when I was

younger and I don’t want to have

problems with my wife no

no the less friction the better I have

enough problems outside of the home

already I just want to go home and and

and be calm and take a na that’s

Eli and in 1st Samuel 2:29 God asks him

why do you honor your sons more than

me wow

ouch why do you honor your sons more

than me God asks

Eli God speaks to us about a job

in which they’re asking us to comp uh

compromise our

integrity and we don’t do anything and

God asks us why do you honor your

employment your job more than me and you

say God but who’s going to pay the

bills but he asks you the direct

question why do you honor your job more

than me you know that they’re asking you

to lie for

example he brings us conviction about

certain lust that we don’t do anything

about because we decide to honor our

desire is more than honoring

God he brings us a conviction of being

more generous we should start to give

one day he asks why do you honor your

money more than you honor me why do you

honor your savings more than me he

brings us conviction of being a

spiritual leader in our homes but as

soon as we can we miss out on church or

we tell our children that today we’re

not going because today there’s a game

that we can’t miss is it a sin no but

the question will come why do you honor

your free time more than

God so that passive character always

reveals that we’ve chosen something or

someone above God that’s what passivity

is it’s not I’m a a pacifist that’s

something

else that’s being a timid man

pusillanimous but even in Eli’s

Disobedience God sends

leaders to warn him about the

consequences that are to come

and in 1 Samuel 3:11 God says about Eli

see that time I will carry out against

Eli everything I spoke against his

family from beginning to

end his son’s blasphemed God and he

failed to restrain them therefore God

says I swore to the house of Eli the

guilt of Eli’s house will never be

atoned for by sacrifice or

offering until this third and fourth

generation that’s when Eli should have

acted he should have faced god with

repentance asking for Mercy but he

answered the way the most men answer

nowadays Eli said he is the Lord let him

do what is good in his eyes sounds

spiritual right like men that say I

depend on God’s will Hallelujah it

sounds spiritual right sounds like

someone that’s submissive to God’s will

but he’s not being submissive he’s being

passive he should have gone to the Lord

in Repentance begging for his

family but he was absent and he said

whatever it is God wants to do is fine

with

you in fact the guy died sitting down as

you might

expect there are guys who spend their

whole lives sitting down so to remember

them after they die you should scatter

their ashes on the

couch but God is saying Eli no you have

to get up and fight for your family I

want you to fight for God’s honor in

your home and choose that even above

your own children that’s what God

wants free to stop just talking and take

action so passivity always

seeks the widest Road

but action always seeks the narrow

road action assumes responsibility

passivity says Ah I don’t I’ll be fixed

soon yeah this season will pass it’s

just temporary but action says this

requires me to move my butt like Solomon

might

say so all us men were taught how to go

to church we were taught to not drink to

not curse to not be rude to not smoke we

know how to be

gentlemen and good

men some men learn how to play an

instrument or lead worship sing new

songs cry and cry while they sing I’m

the little girl the little girl in your

eyes

no that’s

it we’re going to be

correct the little

girl in our eyes is that little black

point that we have in our Iris when you

look at somebody in their eyes you see

like a small person that’s where the

phrase comes from that’s a little

girl in your eyes let’s be correct

emically speaking that’s what it

means but I never you know what I don’t

have any doubts about my sexuality but I

can never say I’m the little

girl the little girl in your eyes no I

can’t I just it doesn’t come out from

within me I’m sorry I’m from a different

generation I

know but we weren’t taught how to

fight I’ll say this

I doubt you’ll hear this in any other

church but sometimes you have to go out

and kick a few butts sometimes you have

to go out and fight against

life no trainer would tell his team hey

guys go out to the field and and and be

loving be kind be the most loving Rivals

that Argentina has ever known Mexicans

hey respect argentinians no who’s going

inside hey

whoa no our is going to teach you what

goal scoring is

right because that’s

soccer a team that says oh don’t oh be

kind they don’t they don’t have the

motivation to win and that’s what the

church has told men for so many years

just try to be good men and the church

ends up having a masculine exterior but

it Soul becomes feminine and when I’m

saying femininity I’m not talking about

cowardice I’m talking about a stereotype

that shouldn’t exist in masculinity

and that’s where the extinction of the

masculine gender comes our gender

disappears from the

radar and that

demasculinization or that spiritual

castration comes from a weakened

generation that has been an old a

generation that’s timid it’s proven that

the majority of women now it’s your

turn most

Wom don’t

stop to to focus on aesthetic

Beauty there isn’t a cannon of beauty of

this is beautiful this isn’t no beauty

is in the eye of the beholder it’s

relative but what’s true is the majority

of women there are always exceptions

they say we don’t seek Beauty what

attracts them to men is their

confidence well understood manhood

someone might say that Savage

side but it’s also not less true that

once they trap them they dedicate their

lives to domesticating

them am I

wrong like someone once

said women fall in love with chada’s

beard to then get married with him and

then force him to shave it

off so nobody would put a great lion in

a small cage so why put a man there

maybe it’s the same

reason we put God in cages many

times a God that we have the formula for

we know how he works we say God likes

this God doesn’t like this displeases

him I know God and so I can manipulate

him we end up cutting off the the claws

off of the Lion of Judah and we think

that Jesus looks like John Lennon

proclaiming peace and love singing

imagine instead of a warrior that

incites us to

fight many men end up hiding

behind the fig tree that represents love

and kindness and they never face a

difficult situation but we have to learn

to harden our

facei Like Flint the Lord hardened his

his face

his to to to carry out the difficulties

in life I’m not talking about someone

that’s always in a bad mood that doesn’t

smile that doesn’t

laugh when the word says Harden your

your face like Flint it’s speaking about

perseverance

character and it’s directly

proportionate to the warrior you have

within that’s why in Army

Camps they’re saturated by discipline

and you ask why are they so harsh

because they know that when hell Rains

Down on the

Battleground the enemy won’t forgive and

a man has to have character to be able

to put up with what’s put up with what’s

coming someone that’s made of glass

can’t go to a Battleground

so they’re treated in a way that breaks

them you might say well if they’re

broken they won’t they’ll be useless no

they have to go to that second win where

they say I don’t care what they say to

me I don’t want I don’t care how much

they ell at me I’m a man of war and this

was true in the first world war true in

the second world war and it’s true in

today’s modern living and conflicts

a young man needs strength to finish his

studies he needs that character to

finish the career he began to maintain

his

convictions under

pressure under people saying oh it’s

it’s Antiquated to be a virgin it’s

Antiquated to not have sex with anyone

young people need convictions to manage

their discipline and their beliefs to be

able to manage their artistic and

professional career this is absolutely

fundamental to develop an indomable

heart even though they’re imprisoned

even though he’s imprisoned whipped beat

stoned the Apostle Paul doesn’t change

his message he doesn’t take any steps

back glory to God that’s why we have the

letters to the to the Ephesians to

the Church of

Philippi to the Romans Paul says

there is a time for everything a season

for every activity under the heavens a

time to be born a time to die a time to

plant and a time to support to upro A

Time to Kill and a time to heal and you

might say well we’re not in war right

now it’s not talking about a literal War

it’s talking about the war of life

there’s a time where you have to battle

let me tell you something

else there’s nothing that mutilates

masculinity masculinity more and

amputates manhood

nothing

awakens more Fury in the heart of a

child when

they witness the passivity of a

father it takes away the

masculinity many children and young

people have to take over the family

battles because their parents don’t want

to do

it if a child is raised by a father

who’s present physically sitting on a

couch but absent emotionally he’ll look

for that manhood

elsewhere in any way

possible God knows that I loved my

father he knows that I honored him until

his last breath but God also knows that

I hated his

passivity I hated his famous phrase I

don’t know ask your

mom I understand having to ask Mom about

certain things that she manages I

understand

that the leadership in the home was

shared but he never made the difficult

decisions in the home

never and what’s worse he never made the

easy decisions

either and if one

day I went to ask my dad for permission

to continue reading for a little longer

or continue watching TV or going out

with a friend I didn’t ask him for

strange things my mother would

immediately come and unauthorize him she

would say nope I would say but my dad

said she would say yeah but it doesn’t

matter what your dad says so I would go

complain with my dad and he would say I

don’t want any problems with your mom if

she said no it’s no but you said yes

well your mother spoke yeah but did God

speak or did my mother speak I hated

that and more than once I said hey but

aren’t you the man around here and he

would go take a

nap but something else happened that

marked my youth it’s not that it left me

traumatized no don’t know

little by little I open up my heart to

you I was just a little

boy and a and a

neighbor that always bullied me pushed

me off my bicycle onto the

sidewalk I got up and I tried to defend

myself but he pushed me

again and if that weren’t enough he went

to complain to his mother telling her

that I had hurt him and pushed him over

but that wasn’t the worst part

that young demon

mother that young antichrist’s mother

went to my home and asked to speak to my

father and I

said this is going to end ugly because

my dad had to wake up from his

nap she said hey look your little boy is

messing with my son and and and he

pushed them over and I said no no no dad

and I was even H I said no dad and I

think in order to resolve everything in

an ex bre way and go back to his nap he

SLA me across the face in front of the

little boy that had pushed me over and

his mother and she said miss it won’t

happen again he’s punished go inside

yeah but I didn’t

inside I went and told my mother what

happened and she said well I believe you

but your dad doesn’t want to have

problems with the neighbors you should

have defended me or at

least have given me the right to explain

myself I deserve benefit of the

doubt but he was the type of guy that

wanted to avoid

conflict and he would cut the weakest

link which was his son me I never

brought it up

again but man does that impact you his

excuse was we’re

Christians after he took his nap and we

spoke about it I said hey I didn’t touch

him he said well we’re Believers if

we’re Believers we can’t be defending

ourselves but that’s an erroneous

concept of what it means to be Christian

I see it on social media people insult

you and and and you defend yourself with

irony and they say oh a Son of God

wouldn’t do

that no that’s just cowardice sometimes

to bring about peace you have to go out

to war you don’t win Battles by sweeping

the conflict under the

rug so life is going to present to us so

many opportunities to train our

character as men and we shouldn’t run

from it and we owe that to women

every man owes his manhood to his mother

his sisters and also his

sons and for that we have to go

down the least traveled path if you’re a

man that doesn’t like conflict get into

one is it tough yes it’s tough I always

say that I Don’t Preach what I’ve

already accomplished but maybe some

things that God is still training me in

however I don’t wait to receive a

diploma to speak with authority if not I

wouldn’t speak on any

anything so when a compromising conflict

arises at home at work or at church you

have to try and not run from it show

your face honor those that hired

you those that have once given you a job

even though you think you’ll never use

that bridge again don’t be

confused whoever plays the harp and

tends the Sheep today can be your king

tomorrow bless the pastor that once

blessed you it doesn’t matter if that

Pastor has now become a rascal it

doesn’t matter

it doesn’t correspond to it doesn’t

correspond to us to judge anybody’s Soul

they blessed you at one point honor them

for that time in that season in which

they were a blessing it always surprised

me to see those men that were are that

are offended by something or they simply

change their opinion it’s a right that

we all

have but they don’t have what they

should have and it’s speaking face to

face closing out a chapter Pastor I’ve

decided to congregate somewhere else

I’ve spoken to many pastors that say Hey

a leader disappeared 20 years by my side

and then one day he’s gone and it

happens with managers as well sir I’ve

decided to seek another job face to

face it’s a little moment like one like

one of my grandmother said it’s a little

bit of discomfort but a life of Peace

hey I’ve decided I’m going to move to a

different state or a different country

not come back after a year

later things aren’t going so well so

maybe now I should honor no you should

honor always honor like a man because

it’s not manly to speak behind someone’s

back and then want to fix everything

through a phone call or saying oh hey

everything’s fine no you have to fix

things face it all why because that’s

how God created us take the honored

path the road to manhood these are codes

of

manhood and before I finish I want to

share with you two axom two principles

two gems in the crown that I’ve learned

throughout life and what gives me the

credit and authority to tell

you what I’m about to say is

that I have more past than future see

that’s a nice way to say I’m old I’m

closer to the tomb than I am to the crib

closer to the Grave than to the uterus

I’m not saying I’m about to die but

looking at my life I have more past than

future and the first advice is that we

fight our battles like men that doesn’t

mean that we’re obligated to fighting

them all we have to Cho choose what

battles are worth our

time there are many things I stopped

doing because I realized that those

battles were just to show that I was

humble that I was a good

person I’ve accept I I would accept

invitations so that people wouldn’t

think that I became proud would you come

to my small

church or now that you’re in Greeno land

did you lose your humility and just for

them to think that I was humble I would

go and I never gained anything but there

was always something that offended them

hey can you can you shoot a video hey

can you dance the Conga hey can you get

on the roof no I can’t oh see I knew you

weren’t humble there’s no way to

convince

them so during my

youth I’ve ran for many battles that I

should have fought but I must also

confess with pain that I let go of many

battles that God never sent me to fight

and the second piece of advice is fight

your battles only once don’t fight your

battles

twice once in worry and in and in

anticipation and then once again when

you actually get into that

Skirmish don’t lose hours of sleep

thinking about how you’ll face tomorrow

no tomorrow you’ll have the strength for

tomorrow I’ve learned that through

experience as well I was very worrisome

for years and so all my battles were

double all the anxiety of how it would

go and then the day of the battle I was

already exhausted soldiers are sent to

sleep and rest well a day before battle

we go to fight completely tired

overwhelmed stressed out and the Lord

says each day has its own

troubles 24 hours the day give us our

daily bread it’s 24 hours not tomorrow’s

not next

week’s today has its own trouble it has

enough trouble it has its own victories

its own defeats you have to celebrate

them or cry them

today not yesterdays not tomorrow and

life is more than a simple battle it’s

composed of many altercations many wars

many

conflicts and all of them in all of them

we have to be willing and decided to

defeat you get up in the

morning and now in metaphoric terms not

practical terms you you wake

up get up to kick demons to kick

butts you get up to fight for what’s

worth in the famous film Gladiator the

one that won so many awards it was made

in

2002 or sorry it was based on the 2

Century after Christ it’s about Maximus

the commander of the armies of the Roman

Empire a very love General loved by his

men and the emperor Marcus

aelius and Marcus aurelius’s son he’s

ambitious this is the emperor’s son

Commodus he gives honor to his name

Comfort

comus his father decides to put

Maximus as a general instead of his own

son and just

before Marcus

arelius can

name Maximus as general Commodus kills

his father so

obviously Maximus will not be the

general and so Maximus escapes sold as a

gladiator and that Destiny might make

you think that he would always be a

slave but he’s a fighter not only does

he survive he becomes a

champion he’s taken to Rome to the

Coliseum to show his strength before the

Emperor Commodus and of course he

believes that Maximus has been dead for

a long time so after a

notable display of Courage the emperor

comes down to meet the brave Gladiator

his identity is hidden behind a mask and

Commodus tells him your Fame is well

deserved you Spanish

man I don’t think there has ever been a

gladiator like

you why doesn’t the hero show his true

face and name and Maximus says my name

is Gladiator and he turns around and the

emperor says how dare you turn your back

on me slave

you will take off your mask and you will

tell me your name and Maximus at the

peak of the film takes off his helmet he

looks him in his eyes and he says my

name is Maximus Decimus

Meridian commander of the armies of the

north general of the Phoenix Legions

faithful servant to the true emperor of

Rome Marcus arelius father of a who was

assassinated assassinated husband of a

wife who was

assassinated and I swear that I will

avenge myself whether it be in this life

or in the next

one when that was shown in theaters

generally the people applauded on their

feet especially the

men whose Gene was awakened my question

is where does a man learn an answer like

that where does a man learn his true

identity we’re not even slavery of an

underpaid job or a dysfunctional family

or a country that isn’t yours can’t take

it I think I know the answer first we

have to know where we come

from and then we’ll have to face battles

skirmishes Wars we have to strategize we

have to become true

men that defend in honor of his own at

the cost of

anything men who aren’t scared of

showing their scribes because because in

the end that’s what makes us

men the recovery of the

warrior is completely crucial for the

recovery of a man everything else rests

upon this but my comrades we have to

fight for everything we wish for

everything we love in our families in

our communities in our country in our

region and in our world we’re warriors

we’re

soldiers we’re made in the image of God

or that’s what we

believe once and for all let’s recover

the masculinity in our lines we have to

be possessed by the spirit and go out to

war because the Kingdom of Heaven

suffers violence and the violent are the

ones who rate it somebody needs to

celebrate more than that give an

Applause to the King of

Kings get on your feet men

women give an Applause to the warrior of

Warriors the king of kings I am the god

strong strong and

feared Mighty and feared blessed are you

hallelujah

hallelujah and certain battles will be

very

complicated but like a famous General

once said challenging as general

it’s possible you’ll die during a battle

or maybe this next one but one day

you’re going to look

back and you’re going to feel proud of

having fought you’re going to feel

proud that you did what you did in that

moment what you thought was the best

idea and that is

fight face the convictions that become

more and more gray more and more

relative it’s

difficult because when I have to speak

to the majority of Christians

generally the majority celebrate because

we share

convictions but when I have to speak to

reporters or people that are unbelievers

or atheists or any other religion our

convictions are put to the test and of

course you don’t go out and hurt other

people’s feelings

you you don’t want to be a

fundamentalist on this side of the crack

but you have to maintain what you

believe even if it’s not popular even if

they say call a retrograde even if they

say you were left back in the

40s if they say you’re you’re

masochistic or you’re a feminist doesn’t

matter what they say Society has changed

yeah but God hasn’t changed that’s what

he refers to when he says I’m the same

one yesterday today and for the

centuries and the god from yesterday is

is a warrior and so he is today and he

always will be a God that pushes us to

fight for what we believe in for what

we’re convinced of are we in agreement

yes or no

let’s fight for

that does it have a price yes it

does does war have collateral damages

yes of course but the point is who is

willing to take that step forward women

benefit when manhood is

recovered women are blessed when their

sons have it clear that they’re going to

make their own families and battle

against life and they won’t run under

mom’s skirt when things get ugly I know

women love it oh my little

boy but you have to know that one day

you’re going to

leave Mom is the closest thing to

Moses you’re preparing your nation your

people for a land that you’ll never see

my mother never

saw everything that she prayed for over

me she never saw

it because when she could finally start

to see something ALS s began to take her

most recent

memories putting them on a shelf too

high for her to reach and everything

that was real for her was in the past

and she saw me as a little

boy so she couldn’t see it however I

give her credit for all the times that

she prayed every time she said God is

going to use you one day the people will

listen to you she prepared me for a

promised land that she wasn’t able to

step foot

on that’s raising somebody without

selfishness

mom dad your children are not yours

they’re not an extension of

us tell us our parents used to say that

if they misbehave then we look bad no

remember Mom saying change her underwear

because if you have an accident the one

that will be put to shame is me no the

one wearing the dirty underwear is him

not you you did your

job if he has a mess in his

room that’s not an extension of how

filthy you are no that’s him if he’s of

age if he wants to walk through filth

let him do it that doesn’t represent you

sometimes we think that our children are

an extension of ourselves yes they’re a

legacy but they have their own

personality the way we did in respect to

our own parents we take the good the bad

we discard our children don’t belong to

us don’t expect God to ask us to place

them on an altar and I’m speaking

symbolically for us to understand

that our job ends with education with

principles with being Priests of the of

the home and then they will fly their

own flight and sometimes they remember

sometimes sooner unfortunately sometimes

later some will recognize our teachings

when we’re no longer there with

them or maybe we’re beneath the ground

or our souls with the Lord but our job

will be done good or bad we did what we

believe was good and of course we’re not

going to raise them perfectly

and they’re going to complain the same

way we did with our parents that we

didn’t love them enough that we didn’t

give them affection we’re not perfect

we’re also going to make mistakes but

when it’s time for us to pass on and we

have to leave with a calm heart a

peaceful heart knowing that we did the

best that we kept our convictions that

while they live in our homes under our

roofs there are convictions There Are

Rules there are things that have to be

respected and power has nothing to do

with with strength power is one thing

strength is another my grandmother Anna

was my father’s mother and in her last

year as a poor woman she couldn’t even

walk but when she said with her few

words and in her broken Spanish she said

I want all my children to come see me

tomorrow there’s a family reunion

tomorrow they would all show

up the old woman had power she didn’t

have any strength not even to go to the

restroom but when she spoke everyone

listened and

respected how do you accomplish

well there are things that longevity

gives us

permanence

resisting there are things that will

come there are things that won’t but

whatever God has prepared for

us we’re going to face life with

convictions knowing what it is we want

what we don’t want giving ourselves

no even if that makes us less popular

parents saying no without giving so many

explanations I said during the

conference at in Argentina how many of

our mothers wrote a book on how to say

no to your child without feeling

guilt how did not be a toxic mother my

mother was sure Noble because of how

toxic she was

and she raised us she kept us in our

beliefs what I’m trying to say

is I’m not trying to say be toxic no I’m

saying do what God has sent you to do

don’t feel guilt fight for your family

fight for your children fight for your

own we’re going to pray Hallelujah

father lift up your hands to Heaven

thank you for this

morning I’ve transmitted what I believe

you told me to tell these people those

that are watching through the screen

thank you God for this manhood that

we’ve recovered this masculinity that

you’ve given us that many of

us have traded thank you

Lord because we’re

recovering a part of us

being a priest being the head taking

responsibility even the parents that

have

divorced take responsibility for your

children take responsibility the

responsibility that corresponds to you

for having brought them to this world

even those with dysfunctional homes take

responsibility of changing the story of

not repeating the pattern that sickly

and dysfunctional pattern there will be

no excuse we won’t be able to say my dad

was like this that’s why I’m like this

we can’t say I inherited it from my

grandparents no Lord help us to change

our gender our Gene our Essence if

necessary to not

inherit the the the bitter grapes that

our parents ate change the chip in our

generation Lord change what you have to

change mold us like the Potter

make us new rebuke take away disarm

everything that doesn’t add to us and

build us again as women as men as

children as parents as spouses as

partners as in-laws help

us as daughter-in-laws as son-in-laws to

be better help us to have convictions

that remain to be able to say I have run

the race I have kept my fa and my crown

in this life is reserved for all of us

that have

remained with that first message of the

cross with the resurrection of Our Lord

father thank you thank you for this word

we receive it it’s part of our being

those that are receiving the Lord in

their

hearts those that say I want to have

what life has taken away from me say

Lord come into my heart forgive my sins

write my name in The Book of Life allow

me to begin a new life Lord thank you

for the attention for your presence For

Your Glory for your word transform us

imprint in us an anointing greater to be

able to assume

responsibilities to recover the nucleus

of society to recover our children I beg

you father for your anointing your

blessing I bless your people your

children in the body in the soul and in

the spirit amen and amen glory to

Jesus blessed be

God men nothing personal we’re on the

same page bye until next time God bless
