  1. So we were speaking about the situation with

  2. my daughter and my husband. And there goes Belen.

  3. No. No. I'm not going to do that. Because I don't

  4. feel like that's from God. Very proud about this.

  5. I don't perceive this is from God. With the spiritual

  6. vocabulary and everything. Very holy. But in

  7. reality, what was there is something that I didn't

  8. want to let go. But you know in the family that

  9. you argue with the family. I don't know if that

  10. happens to you. I don't know if that happens

  11. in Alaska. It does happen in my house. Sometimes

  12. we have some arguments. Sometimes we have things

  13. when we can see each other face to face. So I

  14. was there saying, I don't feel this is from God.

  15. And my husband, very wise. Okay, let's go and

  16. pray. So we continue talking. We continue talking

  17. about this. So we said, let's go and pray. We

  18. pray a very simple prayer. Very simple. And on

  19. the next day, when I woke up, I was able to see

  20. the point of view of the other people that were

  21. involved. And then I said, okay, Lord, I think

  22. I wasn't able to talk to them that day. But then

  23. later when I was able to talk to them, I told

  24. him, I changed my point of view. I said to him,

  25. okay, I'm gonna do it. I already captured what

  26. you're trying to say. But the moment you allow

  27. God to come into the picture. Look, God is in

  28. me personally, removing all traces of religion.

  29. You know that religion may destroy homes. And

  30. this topic, I'm very passionate about this topic.

  31. And it's about family. I don't know why I'm going

  32. that way. But what I perceive right now, that

  33. there are marriages here where they haven't been

  34. able to be in agreement. where there has been

  35. disagreements. But unfortunately, the old way

  36. of living, the way they used to live before,

  37. doesn't allow us to come and see the point of

  38. view of the other person. And that can involve

  39. so many things. And this makes me so passionate

  40. with children. With the youth. You know that

  41. I'm about having to correct. And that's why we're

  42. parents. And that's why we're here to educate.

  43. That's why we're here to form the character.

  44. But sometimes religion, it has blinded or seared

  45. our mind and our understanding. And we're very

  46. harsh with our own children. We don't even give

  47. them room for them to open to us and allow them

  48. to hear them. And see the verse that is coming

  49. to my mind. I don't have the exact verse. But

  50. it says not to bring our children to rest. Then

  51. you ask yourself, Why do I have a child that

  52. is in rebellion? Why is my child closing up?

  53. Why is it that my husband is not opening up himself

  54. to me anymore? Why my wife is not opening herself

  55. to me? Sometimes it's because we're so seared

  56. and we're so blinded. And that happened before

  57. Christ. That is the nature before Christ. I can

  58. assure you that if you go to the presence of

  59. God, the first thing God is gonna do with you,

  60. he's gonna incline his ears, and he's gonna hear

  61. whatever you have to say. It says draw closer

  62. to me and you know the verses that we have. The

  63. verse that says bring your burden before me.

  64. So many verses. And now I can't remember any.

  65. Where he says to carry his yoke that is light

  66. and easy. And when you go and you take your own

  67. yoke that is heavy, He's open to receive that

  68. burden. And many times our children, our spouses,

  69. or our wives, they have so many burdens. But

  70. our mentality, oh no, It shouldn't be this way

  71. in our house. You're closing the door. Please

  72. don't close the door to your children. Out there,

  73. there are many open doors. Many open doors. And

  74. I'm not speaking about. Just only young adults.

  75. This starts when you are a child. You want to

  76. restore family? Let's change the way we think.

  77. So it requires obedience. It requires dying to

  78. self. And let's go to Matthew 16, 24. Listen

  79. to your children. Listen to your wife. Your wife

  80. has so many things to tell you. It's not that

  81. she wants to be a pain reader and she's, you

  82. know, she's being an egg and she doesn't allow

  83. you to watch the game. It's not this old lady

  84. that doesn't allow me to watch Facebook. Turn

  85. off Facebook. And allow Jesus to renew your mind.

  86. And tell her, yes love, what do you want to tell

  87. me? I listen to you. Because that is Jesus renewing

  88. your mind. How many of us have heard about the

  89. family altar? And it's funny, because I don't

  90. know if this happened to you before, but this

  91. has happened to me in my house. And suddenly

  92. we're going to go and pray. If you want your

  93. child to pray with you, listen to him or her

  94. first. Don't punish them just because that's

  95. the way you think it should be. Listen before.

  96. This is part of the renewal of the mind. This

  97. is part of the understanding. Understand what

  98. my child is trying to tell me. Imagine if you

  99. open yourself as Jesus listens to you. And your

  100. child has to come to you. And that your child

  101. can trust you so much as a parent. He knows that

  102. you're not gonna come and judge. That he can

  103. feel such freedom. That he can tell you, mom,

  104. dad, I'm battling with pornography. What do you

  105. do in that case? If your child comes with something

  106. like this, I can assure you the first thing we

  107. do is because of that phone. It's because of

  108. your friends. And we blame everyone else. And

  109. what about us? Where was I that I didn't take

  110. care of you? Because we were raised with this

  111. mentality. Things are done this way and this

  112. is the way we're gonna do them. And if you're

  113. battling... with lost. I'm going to punish you.

  114. We won't allow that here. We won't allow sin.

  115. Of course we don't allow sin. for you not to

  116. allow sin. First, you have to deal with that.

  117. How does Jesus deal with your sins? How many

  118. times have you gone to the presence of the Lord?

  119. Lord, remove jealousy. Lord, remove envy from

  120. my heart. And men of God, I saw another woman.

  121. I saw some skirts and it caught my attention.

  122. How does the Messiah act with you? Elder was

  123. reading. How does he act? As Isaiah 53. He was

  124. despised amongst men. He was a man of sorrow.

  125. was over his body. That's how Jesus deals with

  126. your sin. The Messiah is not there to stone you.

  127. The Messiah, he confronted the Pharisees that

  128. they did have the mind to go and judge. That

  129. they had the finger to accuse. That was the nature

  130. of the first Adam. So when you encounter a situation

  131. with your children, that your spouse, you, your

  132. wife, or your husband, they have the ability

  133. to come and say, I saw this woman. I saw this

  134. man, and he called my attention what he told

  135. me. What's going to be your reaction? The first

  136. Adam? The first one that's going to stone, or

  137. the second atom, that is going to cast the stone

  138. the other way, that's going to be in the middle,

  139. and it's going to say, you know what? I'm here

  140. to listen to you. Let's pray about this together.

  141. The devil is not going to come. Love your heart.

  142. That is the sacrifice of the cross. That is the

  143. mind of the cross. The cross speaks love. Once

  144. and forever. The cross is as much for you, for

  145. your husband as well, for your wife, for your

  146. children. The cross is present. Let me tell you,

  147. if you incline your ear, you lend your ear to

  148. your children, practice the renewed mind. And

  149. don't think this is going to happen overnight.

  150. Because sometimes we have broken relationships.

  151. And part of being in the vine and us being the

  152. branches is bearing fruit. And it's fruit of

  153. repentance. And it's fruit that remains. It's

  154. how you maintain. That's why we have to work

  155. for this. No trabajar porque en sí el Mesías

  156. ya hizo el trabajo. We don't really have to work

  157. because the Messiah already did the work. We

  158. just have to obey. We have to take on the new

  159. man. It sounds very beautiful the way I say it

  160. from here. So let's see what happens tomorrow

  161. when I get up. But I am under the blood of the

  162. second Adam. And so are you. You have access

  163. to the blood of the second Adam. You have access

  164. to the mind of the second Adam, to the mind of

  165. love, to the mind that suffers all, that can

  166. do all, that can bear everything, to the mind

  167. of 1 Corinthians 13. And one of the verses says

  168. that the prophecies shall pass away. But the

  169. only thing that will remain will be faith, hope,

  170. and love. You are love. You don't believe that

  171. lie. You're not under the first Adam. You are

  172. now under the second Adam. The second Adam loves,

  173. confronts, forgives, restores. Now I understand

  174. why the Lord is taking us to the transformation

  175. of the mind. Because in this time we're speaking

  176. about a revival. And revival can start without

  177. repentance. And repentance sometimes we're going

  178. to feel pain. Sometimes you're gonna feel like

  179. crying, but it doesn't remain just there. It

  180. is practiced. But this is what I believe the

  181. Lord wants to speak to us about. For the revival,

  182. remember this is not gonna be. with singers.

  183. It will not be with preachers. It will not be

  184. with pastors. The Lord has already spoken that

  185. this is going to be with people that are not

  186. known and known people. But these are people

  187. that are willing to allow the mind of Christ

  188. to be formed in us and revival so at home. Revival

  189. starts in my house. It starts in your house.

  190. You know the Lord ministered to me one thing

  191. some time ago. It's so easy sometimes to express

  192. love to others or compassion to others. where

  193. it matters most. But sometimes we don't express

  194. compassion where it's more important, most important.

  195. And it says, you shall be witnesses in Jerusalem

  196. first. Jerusalem is your house. Jerusalem is

  197. your husband. Jerusalem is your wife. Jerusalem

  198. is your child, your daughter. You're praying

  199. for him to come. Come to Jesus. You already prayed

  200. for your children to come back to Jesus. Now

  201. love them. Love on them. You already prayed and

  202. said to your husband or wife whatever you needed

  203. to say. Now love on them. This is the mind of

  204. Christ. This is the mind of Jesus. It's just

  205. putting off the former man. You know, when I

  206. was reading all this, when Adam was subject to

  207. the kingdom of darkness, And I was reading Romans

  208. 12 too. And it says, do not be conformed to this

  209. world. But I was able to see this in a different

  210. way. I saw it this way, when I don't renew my

  211. mind, I'm still subject to the world. I'm still

  212. subject to the... a kingdom of darkness. But

  213. when I saw Romans 12 -2 again, I saw it from

  214. a different perspective. I saw it as Jesus saying,

  215. do not be conformed. Do not be conformed to that.

  216. You don't belong there. Your mind does not belong

  217. to that world. Your mind wants translated somewhere

  218. else. I changed it because the desire of Jesus

  219. is that we experience the fullness of the mind

  220. of the Messiah, the fullness of the mind of the

  221. Father. This week I was battling with this thought.

  222. I would say, Lord, I renounce this thought. And

  223. I accept what you're saying. I'm from my spirit.

  224. phrase came out and I said Lord my mind is beautiful.

  225. My mind is beautiful. Your mind is beautiful

  226. because it's no longer your mind. It's the mind

  227. of Christ in you. It's the mind of love in you.

  228. And like I was telling you, the mind carries

  229. an atmosphere. What atmosphere carries the mind

  230. of Christ? It carries the fragrance. It carries

  231. purity. It carries simplicity. It carries hearing

  232. others. It doesn't just cast a stone, but it

  233. embraces. I want to ask you there where you're

  234. at. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. And I know

  235. that the Lord is asking you for changes in your

  236. mind. What are those thoughts? The patterns?

  237. The attitudes? Don't criticize anymore. Don't

  238. criticize anymore. Just love him. Just love her.

  239. Allow Jesus to minister. Sometimes we come with

  240. so many burdens to the house of the Lord. We're

  241. so burdened. So much oppression. And it's because

  242. of the mind. Everything is in the mind. Everything

  243. is there. But today is the day where Jesus is

  244. introducing us to the grace To be able to put

  245. off the former man. And to put on the new man.

  246. So there where you're at.
