I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These weapons can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding him. With these weapons, I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ - 2 Cor 10:4-6

¿Quién no ha sido herido por las acciones o las palabras de otra persona? Tal vez uno de tus padres te criticó constantemente cuando crecías, un colega saboteó uno de tus proyectos, o tu pareja te engañó. O quizás tuviste una experiencia traumática, como abuso físico o emocional a manos de una persona en quien confiabas.
Estas heridas pueden dejarte con sentimientos duraderos de enojo y amargura — y hasta deseos de venganza.
Pero si no aprendes a perdonar, quizás seas tú quien pague el precio más alto. Al aceptar el perdón también podrás adoptar paz, esperanza, gratitud y alegría. Considera cómo perdonar puede guiarte en el camino al bienestar físico, emocional, y espiritual.
¿Qué es el perdón?
Perdonar significa diferentes cosas para diferentes personas. Pero generalmente implica una decisión de dejar atrás el rencor y los pensamientos sobre venganza.
Quizás siempre recuerdes el acto que te hirió o te ofendió, pero el perdón puede disminuir el poder que tiene sobre ti y ayudar a que te liberes del control de la persona que te hirió. El perdón puede incluso llevar a tener sentimientos de comprensión, empatía y compasión para la persona que te hirió.
Perdonar no significa olvidar, ni encontrar excusas para el daño que se te hizo, ni reconciliarte con la persona que te causó el daño. Perdonar da un tipo de paz que te ayuda a continuar con tu vida.
¿Cuáles son los beneficios de perdonar a alguien?
Dejar atrás los rencores y la amargura puede dar lugar a una mejor salud y más tranquilidad. El perdón puede llevar a:
Relaciones más sanas
Mejor salud mental
Menos ansiedad, estrés, y hostilidad
Presión arterial más baja
Menos síntomas de depresión
Un sistema inmunitario más fuerte
Mejor salud cardíaca
Mejor autoestima

Unforgiveness is the act of not letting go of an offense. Holding on to hurt. Holding on to a grievance. Holding a grudge in an effort to punish the offender but at the end the only person that suffers the most is the individual that is unwilling to forgive. 
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.- C.S. Lewis
Forgiveness is an act of the will and not something that is birthed out of our emotions.
Unforgiveness is
Rooted in PRIDE 
It’s narcissistic 
opens the door to the enemy
Grieves the HS
Proof of a hardened heart
Puts a stronghold on our lives
Becomes bitterness and eventually affects our health
Immobilizes the hand of God
Brings destruction into our lives
IT IS FUELED BY HATE
You know you have issues with unforgiveness when:
You are easily angered
You are impulsive
You want to air your grievances
You are compulsive
You don’t take responsibility for your feelings
You are constantly sick
You gossip about that individual
You feel righteous and entitled
Jesus told his disciples (Luke 17:1) ”its impossible for no offenses to come your way” (NKJV)­
you can’t avoid them, they are not selective
its not “if they come” its when they come
OFFENSES WILL COME
its impossible to hide from it
you can’t dodge it
the longer you live the more you will have to face them
 
Your capacity to process and manage offenses will determine your overall outcome.
 
If you are not able to confront and overcome an offense what makes you think that God is going to entrust you with a greater task
 
God’s not looking for perfection just disposition. He’s not looking for talent, he’s in search of hearts that are meek and gentle.
 
 If you get bent out of shape over the most minute situations you can forget about being commissioned by Him for something that’s bigger than you.

The power of a dad in a child’s life is unmatched, unprecedented, unequaled, its unrivaled ONLY GOD supersedes such power.
One hug from dad is worth 20 kisses from mom
Who we are as dads speaks of who our children will become in the future
Your son will become like you
Your daughter will end up marrying someone like you 
Men, you have the power to impact your children either for good or for bad, you words bless them or curse them, you have the power to lift them up or tear them down, you can either fill them hope or inundate their minds and hearts with despair .

La salvacion genuina siempre llevara a la transformacion. Este podcast es un mensaje que se compartio el 12 de Junio 2022 en The Family Church de McAllen, Texas.

Conoces al Pastor del Salmo o al Salmo del Pastor? La diferencia es abismal...
Jehová es mi pastor; nada me faltará.En lugares de delicados pastos me hará descansar; Junto a aguas de reposo me pastoreará. Confortará mi alma; Me guiará por sendas de justicia por amor de su nombre. Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, No temeré mal alguno, porque tú estarás conmigo; Tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento. Aderezas mesa delante de mí en presencia de mis angustiadores; Unges mi cabeza con aceite; mi copa está rebosando. Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán todos los días de mi vida,Y en la casa de Jehová moraré por largos días.

How do I know that I am saved? This is the million dollar question. I raised my hand, and I said the prayer verbatim, is that enough? I felt goosebumps all over at church when I repeated the sinner's prayer, does that mean that I am born again? Can I have an assurance of true salvation? Yes!
