God - answer with fire!
Gilberto Samano
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The speaker begins by thanking God for the opportunity to speak and sends greetings to listeners across the world. He emphasizes that the church has a spiritual purpose and that it's essential to understand why we were born. He then delves into the story of Elijah in the book of James and First Kings, where God used him to challenge the people of Israel and the non-believers to call on the true God who answers with fire. The speaker talks about the historical background of King Acaab's rebellion against God, which led to a drought and the people's worship of Baals. He warns against the danger of traditions and emphasizes that God listened to Elijah's prayers, even though he was human like us. The speaker ends by reminding listeners to beware of rebellion and to trust in God's mercy.
The passage is about the prophet Elijah challenging the people of Israel to choose between following God or the false god Baal. Elijah proposes a challenge to the prophets of Baal to see who can call down fire to consume a sacrifice. The prophets of Baal dance, shout, and cut themselves, but their god does not answer. Elijah then prays to God and fire comes down from heaven to consume his sacrifice, proving that God is the true God. The message emphasizes the importance of making a decision to follow God and the power of true worship in bringing God's presence into our lives. The speaker also warns against rebellion and empty religious ceremonies, and encourages listeners to seek a genuine relationship with God.
The speaker talks about the story of Elijah and how he made a decision and got closer to God before God responded with fire. He emphasizes the importance of making a decision and getting closer to God, as well as fixing the altar of our hearts and approaching God with obedience to His word. The speaker also encourages the audience to shout out, "Answer me, Lord!" with conviction and faith. The message ends with a prayer for healing for someone in the audience.
The speaker calls for reform and restoration in the church and prays for deliverance over rebellion and problems such as economic and marital issues. They encourage listeners to accept Christ and ask for more of the Holy Spirit. They also share a testimony of someone who was healed after praying for months. The praise group is asked to prepare and listeners are encouraged to hold hands and get closer to one another.
