: My parents called me "Francisco" because I was born on the day of Saint Francis of Assisi, I have probably been influenced by some qualities of that Holy being who loved God above all things and had mercy on his neighbors and living beings.

: Thank you for the message that the Lord leaves us through Father Miranda. It is not always taught and understood that what a child speaks of God is full of power because being One with Christ is the One who manifests. Blessings should come out of the mouth of a child of God, reflecting the good thoughts that God has for his children; Praise to our God must come out, permanent gratitude for all the spiritual blessings that he already gave us before coming to earth.

Luis Alfredo Ramirez Cano: Based on the Word, on the power it has as a Word, we must know how to pray, pray with purpose, take hold of our identity in Christ, and declare that every bondage and curse that weighs on us due to generational inheritance is broken. We are new creatures, we are new men, we are children of God, and as such, joint heirs with Our Lord Jesus Christ. From there, knowing that we must walk in the world, not with the world, and that our armor is the Word of God, and that the Holy Spirit dwells in us, through the holiness that has been given to us, we must be ready and with open ears to listen to the voice of the Lord that guides us, and pray that the Word gives us discernment and revelation of the Word, to understand and hear the new name that God the Father gives us.

Luis Alfredo Ramirez Cano, thank you for your powerful comment based on the Word of God and the importance of our identity in Christ! As you share, it is essential to pray with purpose, affirm our identity as children of God and declare freedom from generational bondages and curses through the Word of God. Remembering that we are new creatures and joint heirs with Christ strengthens us in our faith and compels us to live in accordance with our identity in Christ. It is beautiful to see how you highlight the importance of being in the world but not of the world, clothed in the armor of God and guided by the Holy Spirit. May you continue to grow in discernment and revelation of the Word of God, allowing the Lord to guide you and reveal the new name He has for you. May the grace and favor of God accompany you on your spiritual walk! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and passion for God's Word! 🙏
