By his faith Bartimaeus is removed from the anonymity of the crowd

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The author wants to start a series of meditations on persistent, committed, and radical characters in the Bible who snatched grace from the Lord. The Kingdom of God is seen as a forceful and militant entity that comes to Earth to repossess what has been taken from it by the illegitimate power of Satan. Bartimaeus is highlighted as a character who stood out from the crowd with his faith and desperation. The author emphasizes the importance of specific faith in receiving blessings from God and the need for a robust spiritual mentality to survive the dangerous times we are living in.

The world is full of deception and danger, and we need to be spiritually strong and committed to survive. We should not rely on our pastors or others to receive blessings from God, but rather seek Him directly through prayer, fasting, reading the Bible, and spiritual warfare. Bartimaeus, a blind man who cried out to Jesus for mercy, serves as an example of the kind of desperation and intensity we should have in our prayers. God wants us to be radical and desperate for Him, and He will bless us as we serve Him. We should not be lukewarm or divided in our commitment to God, but fully determined to follow Him with a warrior mentality.

God wants His people to be fully committed to Him and not be lukewarm or indecisive. He promises to bless and protect those who serve Him wholeheartedly. We should be a radical and committed Church for God's glory.

I want to start a series of meditations on characters who stand out in the Word for being persistent people, committed people, violent people in the Spirit; determined people, defined people, clear people, radical people. And we are going to see how those characteristics of these individuals snatched grace from the Lord. And saying to snatch grace from the Lord sounds like a violation of the dignity of the Lord but it is not like that, the Lord likes from time to time that one puts him in trouble so to speak.

And He likes it because when we show the Lord that we are sufficiently committed to Him and that we believe enough to be aggressive, that pleases the Lord, far from offending Him, it pleases Him. This Bartimaeus character is like that, he is a violent being in the good sense of the word, brave. Do you remember that verse that says that the Kingdom of Heaven grows strong and the mighty take it by force?
