In what area of my life is Satan working?
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The sermon focuses on Luke chapter 4 and the principles for an evangelistic lifestyle that can be learned from the life of Jesus Christ. The passage highlights the temptation of Jesus and how the Holy Spirit led Him into the desert to face Satan. The pastor emphasizes the importance of dealing with areas of our life that serve as stumbling blocks to bearing fruit for the Lord. These can be issues in our character, habits, relationships, or even excessive focus on material possessions or entertainment. To overcome these obstacles, the pastor suggests identifying them, fasting, and seeking the Lord's guidance and liberation in the Name of Jesus. The fight against the enemy will be ongoing, but with the Lord's help, we can live an evangelistic lifestyle and be fruitful for His glory.
The devil wants to bring obstacles and distractions in our lives, but we must confront him and identify weak areas in our lives. The Power of God increases when we surrender our lives to Him and remove obstacles in our spiritual life. We must seek the Power of God in our lives and be a vessel for Him to use. We need to have a confrontation with the devil in the desert and overcome neglect, fear, and conformity. We must consecrate our lives to the Lord and ask Him to activate us.
The speaker is asking why people are not consecrating their lives to the Lord and encourages them to do so. He shares his own commitment and encourages others to join him in the journey. He also emphasizes the importance of fighting against Satan and that God will be by our side.Looking for spiritual principles and concepts to use to feed this evangelistic vision that we want to found in our Church, I saw here in Luke chapter 4 what I call an evangelistic lifestyle and that would be the theme of this sermon, an evangelistic lifestyle.
And normally I like to choose a short, small passage to concentrate on and go in-depth on that passage, but I'm going to do something different and I'm going to take this chapter, which is quite long, there are about 40-odd verses, 44 verses , and what I want is to take a tour from the bird's eye view so that we have a more or less idea, I am going to highlight certain moments in the life of Jesus Christ, at the beginning of His Ministry, and the Lord has said that He is our model, that we stick to Him and then we will bear fruit.
