Call Assembly
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The sermon discusses the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37 and how it applies to the current state of the church. The church is like a valley of dry bones that needs revival, a fresh vision, and a visitation from the Holy Spirit. Despite the negativity, the speaker is filled with excitement and encouragement because he knows that God has so much more for them. The Holy Spirit is at the center of the stage, and the church must seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit to prophesy to the nations and rise up in power. God has been working in the church for decades, and they are close to the consummation of that time. The congregation must persist and work in the manifestation of God's glory. The speaker believes that God's message to the congregation is specific and universal, and God wants to move in each person, no matter their position or experience in the Kingdom of God.
The sermon is about how God wants to move in each individual, not just the spiritual leaders. The world is in a critical time in human history, and God wants to bring revival and a great harvest before the second coming of Christ. The book of Joel is a recipe for revival, and it begins with repentance and surrendering to God's surgical work on our character. The church needs a deep work, and everyone must enter into that process.
God wants to perform a deep work in his church, and each of us needs to undergo a spiritual surgery. We must search for the leaven in our lives and repent. Men are called to lead spiritually, and pastors and leaders must consecrate themselves to the Lord. When we cry out to God and sanctify ourselves, God will forgive and fill us with bread, new wine, and oil. We must submit to God, resist the devil, and draw near to Him with clean hands and pure hearts. We must remove double-mindedness and have faith in God. God is calling us to a holy convocation and a search for His glory.
Remove double-mindedness and purify your hearts. God is calling us for a search, and if we can't be faithful in small things, we can't be faithful in big things. God wants to send blessings upon us, but we need to do our part. Let's commit to a time of consecration as a church to cry out to God, repent, and acknowledge our spiritual poverty. God has been preparing us for something special, and we need to seize this moment. Cry out to God for His glory to be established in the nations.By the way, before going into detail, I want to tell you that we have started this series on the fruit of the Holy Spirit. And whenever I can on a lame Sunday to focus on one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Nine fruits of the Holy Spirit. There are always different things involved, guest speakers, special events like we've had, but that's my purpose to continue that series underlying everything we do and wrap up.
Today, in fact, we had a guest speaker, Françoise Agustin, who you know, a young man who grew up here in León de Judá spiritually speaking. He is now a pastor at a church here in Boston. He couldn't come for family reasons, but then it was my turn today and I said, “well, what do I do? Do I preach on the third fruit of the Holy Spirit and continue with that theme?”
