Christ destroyed the inevitability of the devilish power that delights in misrepresenting the children of God
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: In this sermon, the speaker discusses the importance of prayer and spiritual warfare in maintaining spiritual and emotional health. He references Luke chapter 13, in which Jesus heals a woman with a spirit of infirmity, and confronts the religious leader who criticizes him for healing on the Sabbath. The speaker shares a personal story about feeling overwhelmed before a preaching trip to Spain, and realizing that the presence of evil was contributing to his anxiety. He emphasizes the need for spiritual discernment and the importance of using the power that we already have as children of God to confront the powers of darkness.
The author shares a personal experience where he was struggling to prepare a sermon and felt a spiritual blockage. He realized that there was a dimension of spiritual struggle and reprimanded the enemy, allowing him to break the closure in his mind and prepare the sermon. He then discusses the Kingdom of darkness and how it tries to prevent people from reaching their potential and achieving their dreams. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual warfare in the pursuit of success and personal development, as there are always negative energies and obstacles that need to be overcome. The author also mentions the subtle voices and ties that can hold us back, such as abusive treatment or societal expectations. He encourages readers to resist these negative energies and embrace the power and freedom offered through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
The devil often uses negative voices to try to crush us and destroy our creativity. We must confess our sins, acknowledge our ties, renounce the power of darkness, and positively affirm the grace of God. In Ephesians 6:11-12, Paul advises us to put on the full armor of God to fight against spiritual entities and processes. The bent woman in Luke 13 represents humanity oppressed by evil. Christ wants us to look up with hope and victory. We have to denounce the true satanic origin of contrary forces and continue our efforts for liberation and self-improvement. We must not let our past, poor origins, or limitations cancel our aspirations. Christ has no limits for us, and He wants us to reach the greatest heights of our life. We must embrace the freedom that God has made possible through Christ Jesus and renounce defeatism. Those who trust in God will have new strength.
I reject negativity and defeatism and confess that I can do incredible things through Christ's power in me. God gives strength to the tired and those who trust in Him will have new strength. I pray to be cleansed and used for God's glory and to be an instrument of life and light. I receive God's blessing this morning in Jesus' name. Amen.

Let's go to chapter 13 of Lucas and this morning I want to conclude this part of the larger series on spiritual health, emotional health, and as you know we have spent many Sundays on this subject, we have approached it in different ways, focusing on its different components, the tools, the instruments that God provides us to keep us healthy and healthy in the midst of crises and struggles, and the losses of life.
In this last session like this, in the last four Sundays we have been talking about that dimension of coming before God directly, no longer using the conceptual tools that the Word of the Lord provides, of the principles of life, but already entering that dimension. to seek the energy that comes from God because there are also times when we simply need God to touch us with His Grace, to release something, to break something, to put a spark in us that allows us to get out of the quagmire in a supernatural way and instantaneous at times, but certainly like God adding a note of energy and power into our lives.
