Transcript
- 0:00So much for your family. The opportunity is now to reflect with the hand
- 0:17of the mural, of the soul, reflections together with his own style since
- 0:21the year two thousand nineteen. What a privilege for me again to accompany you
- 0:24through your favorite platform. I' m David, Fernando Iguera and nothing family,
- 0:29ready or ready. I am here to share with you teachings, reflections.
- 0:32I speak of God in a very organic, very human, very natural
- 0:36way. So nothing, thanks for the reproductions you make through platforms of your
- 0:41choice in Spotify, Deazer, Apple, Podcast, Google, Podcast, YouTube,
- 0:46Facebook, anywhere. That allows us to go ahead and share this with
- 0:53anyone and nothing, always and simply, as I said in some mural season,
- 0:58we do not intend to change the world but to provide a small grain
- 1:03of sand for it. Welcome. I forgot to mention that the first Thursday
- 1:15of the month, because we are going to be sharing the episodes on video
- 1:22we always publish them at seven in the morning time of Colombia, although I
- 1:26am open to you all of a sudden to suggest another schedule that will be
- 1:30easier for you. But, well, they' re gonna have it,
- 1:33they' re gonna have that chance to do it. I' m going
- 1:36to crean the matter well through the social networks on Instagram, which is where
- 1:40it lends itself to me fer iguera fhrih fer and iguera is my social networks
- 1:48where they are instagram in face. Well, there it is, but let
- 1:52' s get into it. With today' s reflection. I will tell
- 1:57you about the eternal transformation of the almighty God, who can be a person
- 2:01through the following example, in Japan there is a very curious invention consisting of
- 2:09delicate tablets of wood or straw, which, by means of a certain procedure,
- 2:15when put in a vessel with water, extend and form flowers and other
- 2:22figures of vivid colors. By placing them in the container they are completely dry.
- 2:31You can' t tell what figure they are, but as soon as
- 2:38they touch the water, they seem to be injected with life and transformed into
- 2:44a figure of extraordinary beauty. So it seemed like God was working with his
- 2:50power. When the human soul is cold dry and receives its Holy Spirit it
- 2:55acquires a heavenly enthusiasm and presents itself new to you healing it beautiful and ready
- 3:01to make with God a blessing for the world. Okay, now let'
- 3:08s see this a little bit more. The question of today' s reflection
- 3:10to see this Japanese technique is very interesting, because how is it possible that
- 3:22straw or wood tablets subjected to a certain procedure when put in an empty with
- 3:28water, because they spread and form wonderful figures. Well, that' s
- 3:32when we see the transformation of a material that you say because it' s
- 3:38something semi rigid or rigio. If it' s the wooden planks, it
- 3:44' s semi- hard. But let us say in the case of straw,
- 3:47for one says well, it is malleable. It can reach a certain
- 3:53point of being molded. So here' s a reality applied to the human.
- 3:59The human. Some are docile, some have that ease of being molded.
- 4:06I mean molded in the sense of behavior, in the sense that when
- 4:13an order is given the person, for he is obedient and then good,
- 4:19he yields then. That' s what this particular has to do with.
- 4:25Now, there are people where stubbornness abounds, but quite too much, I
- 4:30would say, and that' s where there are sayings like a crooked-
- 4:36born tree. Thank you, thank you for helping me. I just wanted
- 4:41you to complete the saying. So what does that mean, just, man.
- 4:49There are people so hard, you say ush, but that person is
- 4:53so hard. That neither God can change it like that woe, no,
- 4:56no, no, suddenly people in advanced, of no, of that grave
- 5:00no. Already that person has a very anchored belief system since his childhood that
- 5:04will change and so can think a person no, that person I know Fernando
- 5:11I like that you do not know the situation. Fernando, I don'
- 5:15t think that person will change, but he knows what he wants and aware
- 5:25of it, there is one who can transform lives and people. Now the
- 5:29point is that each of us should let ourselves be molded of God. Yes,
- 5:36it is exactly God who comes to transform lives, to transform hearts.
- 5:45Now there' s something interesting I want to draw in the light of the
- 5:50book. Whether I bring a sermon as from a place of worship, as
- 5:57they say in this United States, the churches in the United States are called
- 6:00Workshop House, houses of worship, houses of worship that I am good at
- 6:06last Jesus, once spoke to a Pharisee, a Jewish leader named Nicodemus.
- 6:17I am paraphrasing him and doing as a kind of executive summary of John chapter
- 6:24three, the first twenty- one verses of this chapter. It turns out
- 6:28that Jesus encounters or rather Nicodemus. This leader of the Jews encounters Jesus because
- 6:33he went to see him at night. Then he tells Rabbi remember that Rabbi
- 6:40means master. Then he says no. I know you' re coming from
- 6:44God. No one does the things you do if God is not in him.
- 6:48Look at the data Nicodemus Maestro is saying Look at you. You are
- 6:53the almighty and see that I know and I am convinced that you come from
- 6:59God, because no one could do the signs that you do if God were
- 7:01not in him. And there comes a question that blows the lid on this
- 7:08one, Mr Nicodemus, and that Jesus comes and tells him what, Nicodemus,
- 7:12I assure you that whoever is not born again cannot see the Kingdom of
- 7:15God. Said Jesus, then I know that suddenly you who listen to me
- 7:20will ask the same question as Nicodemus himself. He is wondering how one can
- 7:27be born again when he is old, says Nicodemus," Can anyone enter
- 7:30his mother' s womb for the second time and be born again then Jesus
- 7:38makes clear who is born of water and spirit, that is, who is
- 7:44not born of water and spirit cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Curious,
- 7:46because the example of my reflection script is of a Japanese technique, some tablets
- 7:53of each wood or straw that, by means of a certain procedure, when
- 7:59put in a vessel with water, extend and form flowers and other figures of
- 8:03bio colors. What happened to the straw, what happened to the wooden tablet,
- 8:07they let themselves be transformed. Then it is impressive and good away from
- 8:15homework so that anyone who wants to read one three verses from one to twenty
- 8:20- one will do so and nothing will give him a rather interesting study.
- 8:24Then realize that jesus is unic. We had some very particular and interesting talks
- 8:30about this topic today, which has to do with the transformation of a life,
- 8:35with the transformation of a person and why not say the transformation of a
- 8:39family. Anyway, it' s an impressive thing. So nothing family I
- 8:48want to leave you at this hour and I think this reflection is going to
- 8:50be cortic compared to the previous one, that just ends this one. I
- 8:54recommend you listen to her and see her. It' s called such a
- 8:58good thing. If you give so much po episode ninety and one that you
- 9:01can hear on the platforms, but you can see it through YouTube, close
- 9:03the advertising parenthesis to tell you what I want to tell you that you hear
- 9:09me simple. There is not such a hard person, there is not such
- 9:18a difficult person to try that God cannot transform. I' ll give you
- 9:24an example and that' s a link. When Moses himself, the liberator
- 9:28Moses, goes and presents himself to Pharaoh and on several occasions presents himself and
- 9:33tells him the same thing, lets go of my people and he makes such
- 9:35excuses, he puts compound requirements to which Moses refuses from God says no,
- 9:43sir we all leave. We' re not leaving a hoof. Whole families,
- 9:50children go away, men go away, women go away, property goes
- 9:52away, wealth goes to possessions, everything goes with us. I feel sorry
- 10:00for him and then Pharaoh' s hard heart. God changes it in a
- 10:05moment and in the end, as he pleases, Pharaoh gives in and says
- 10:11well," Get out of here and get out of here and get out
- 10:16of here" The rest is history. I don' t want to walk
- 10:20the part where they stop. Go back to the same thing and don'
- 10:22t go again. Bring those Hebrews in, bring them in, and they
- 10:26went after the Red Sea. Blah, blah, blah. That is not
- 10:28the subject of today' s reflection. What do you mean you say you
- 10:33hear so much and you have a heart of stone. That' s the
- 10:41crooked tree that doesn' t straighten out the saying and popular saying aren'
- 10:46t my little boy. We' ve already taken that to as many places
- 10:48as possible. It is part of questions of diverse doctrine and belief there,
- 10:56but it is because they have not proved to God that I am telling you
- 11:01the father, the son and the holy spirit, no more and no less
- 11:03family. But the point is that we let ourselves be transformed. Yes,
- 11:09there is a passage from the Bible that speaks about that analogy that God has
- 11:16with Elizabeth as he is the potter and he is the mud and the people
- 11:20of Israel clay. A rather interesting, very very particular thing. I want
- 11:30to make her known to you and let me read her, she says to
- 11:33Fernando. I don' t have time to read the Bible quietly. I
- 11:35know the leopaja I perish that I read it to you around here I hear
- 11:45interesting, which what good I will give you executive summary. There he is,
- 11:50but whoever he wants to look for. Jeremiah, eighteen, there are
- 11:52hundreds in the freedom to do so. He says that God in a vision
- 11:56is revealed to the prophet and tells him to look down the house to the
- 11:58alpha. It' s a vision, an ecstasy, put down the potter
- 12:01' s house. I' ll give you a message and he comes down
- 12:05and finds the potter working on the lathe with the mud. Then the potter
- 12:11is forming his piece and saw something bad. Then what did he do?
- 12:15He came back, smashed the mud and did something else with the same mud
- 12:22until it was like him. He appreciates it the way he wanted it.
- 12:26Then God tells the prophet, Jeremiah, that he says perhaps I cannot do
- 12:33the same to you unrealized as this potter does to the clay. You are
- 12:37my hands like mud in the hands of the potter. Yeah, so here
- 12:43' s the thing. God, people can change them. Now there'
- 12:48s a saying here in Colombia. Well, my little boy or the good
- 12:54ones. That you just completed. Ideally, let us leave ourselves for the
- 12:58good of God. It is that God will consume us, punish us,
- 13:01we are good, not necessarily. But I think that when you squeeze a
- 13:07little toe, for example, when you put a bed together and press the
- 13:13screw nut with the respective nut so that it has that grip and has that
- 13:20consistency and that resistance, you have to tighten hard, because if you are
- 13:24not going to give the expected performance that bed or that part that requires a
- 13:31screw and requires a nut. Or what do you tell me if suddenly if
- 13:33you, you ride a car or a bus and see that, as you
- 13:37realize, it is screwed to the chassis, no, if it is wrong
- 13:43screwed or half what happens, you go away and fall. So that little
- 13:50ass, that chair needs to get a paoquito up to the fumes, that
- 13:54little ass to see if it works right. There are situations where, if
- 14:01we are stubborn, we are stubborn, the one above can tighten the toerquita
- 14:07for us to give better performance, a better performance. Then family take care
- 14:13of it in a good way. Or we go to the most common case.
- 14:18A dad, a mom who corrects her kid. We' re going
- 14:24to contrast that with a dad and a mom with some alcahueta sensers, as
- 14:30we say here in Colombia. I don' t know if in other countries
- 14:33too in Latin America he says it, but that it' s a pimp
- 14:37dad and mom that allows everything to the Chinese or China, the boy,
- 14:39the girl allows everything. Daddy, I want an ice cream, well,
- 14:41I say take Daddy, I want an Xbox or PlayStation Five. Whatever a
- 14:46computer, whatever it is, oh yeah, sweetheart, Dale, Dale,
- 14:50but what happens a son consented to by father and mother pimp does whatever he
- 15:00wants in society and God doesn' t want. There are situations where there
- 15:05are people who do the wrong thing. So, well, get out of
- 15:07here with me. I' m going to leave it there, but there
- 15:11are also parents who correct it firmly, but with love. He says look.
- 15:15This doesn' t make son, but why, Dad I want to
- 15:18play good boy, little boy, no, I want to touch the current
- 15:22connector. I want to try the fire or I want to go outside.
- 15:26Let' s go to the case so they don' t tell me Fernández
- 15:30is a fatalist. We' re not going to the most common case you
- 15:33can find out what' s the case. The rain is raining to sing,
- 15:35it' s getting very cold and then the little one, the little
- 15:39one. Daddy and Mommy, I want to, I want to go,
- 15:43I want to go get wet, I want to get wet? You can
- 15:45' t get wet, son, because I want to get wet, I
- 15:48want to go get wet, I want to play with my friends. You
- 15:50can' t, son,' cause if you go out there, you
- 15:54' re gonna catch a cold. I don' t want to, I
- 15:58want to, I want then what does Dad and mamalcahueta dale play enjoy the
- 16:07other day the cold takes the flu to the little girl, but the one
- 16:10who is firm, but with love says look at salt but you told me
- 16:18San is fine, Sanje why you think I' m not inventing salt and
- 16:25then, effectively, enjoy already and then the next day I' m sick.
- 16:33Dad Mom, if you see, I told you not to go out.
- 16:37But since you' re so stubborn, I' m knitting for you
- 16:41to try. So, one is stubborn in life and one tries things and
- 16:45one is stubborn insists on one thing and life itself. God, through life,
- 16:52is teaching us the questions. Then God molds us in two directions.
- 16:57If we leave ourselves in the good way, he will form us and perfect
- 17:03us. But if a mess in things doesn' t, God you tell
- 17:07me it' s over there on the left, I today on the right
- 17:10and a DL. DL. DL. Well, that' s when I
- 17:15said I' m the good shepherd, a shepherd of sheep. Usually,
- 17:22if you see it, it has two elements, the rod and the quiet
- 17:25one. What about the quiet one. The quiet one is a structure like
- 17:33one with a circle- shaped lamb. When the sheep goes and goes,
- 17:41then what does the shepherd do? The shepherd takes the sheep with the callus.
- 17:45Today buff the pull of like the neck, as well as if it
- 17:49were a necklace like for a can takes her to interest her. So that
- 17:59' s the point. God is our dad, the dad you mean.
- 18:03God is my friend, he' s our dad. We are his children
- 18:06and, like all dads, when he has to draw our attention, he
- 18:08does it somehow let us do it and say, Mr Mira, you know
- 18:12you' re absolutely right. I did this, this, this I got
- 18:15pregnant, forgive me, please help me, and here' s May the
- 18:18matter. And that' s all I' m done with. Learn from
- 18:21your mistakes and never make them again. I' m talking to myself.
- 18:25Learn from your mistakes and do not make them again because mistakes are certainly for
- 18:30something in life. They leave us marks, leave us traces to precisely not
- 18:36commit them that God helps us to make. People who when allowed to transform
- 18:40from God simply and simply obey instruction and nothing. One of the ladies I
- 18:48put to God of something I want in life is what the Bible says,
- 18:51that of God' s blessing it is the one that enriches and does not
- 18:56add sadness, If something gives me peace, that' s the thing.
- 19:00But if you bring me peace of mind, I kind of take another path.
- 19:03And rather, Lord God, help me, it' s this way,
- 19:07or that' s where it' s then to put on one for
- 19:11God and say look be my friend. I don' t want religion,
- 19:14I want a relationship with you and help me lead my way. Maybe,
- 19:17Ma' am, there are things that I won' t like, that
- 19:18you' re going to retrace me, because suddenly someone tells me a friend,
- 19:22a neighbor or the Bible I don' t know and suddenly I'
- 19:26m going to feel bad, I' m going to feel like ah but
- 19:30I' ll understand that you want the best. For me it is the
- 19:30show of a God who loves us that he wants the best for us.
- 19:33He knows what is right for everyone. So as well as the wooden splint
- 19:38or the straw. With this Japanese technique they let themselves be transformed from God
- 19:45and make better sculpture and figure, because simply God wants that of each one
- 19:49of us, of the human race, wants us to be the best version
- 19:52of who we are. My name is David Fernando Guera. This was today
- 19:55' s reflection. Family. Thanks for joining me. I invite you to
- 19:57the next one so that together we will continue writing as we did from the
- 20:03year two thousand nineteen to today' s sun on the Alma Chao mural.
