The power of faith (Part 2)
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The essential structure of the Kingdom of God is faith, and as we enter into the ways of God, we must change our minds and think in a different way. In Second Chronicles 20, we see a crisis where King Jehoshaphat and the people of Israel faced a powerful army that they couldn't resist. They cried out to the Lord and a man of God named Jaaziel received a prophetic word telling them to believe that the battle is God's and not theirs. We are living in difficult times where we must put spiritual principles into practice and live by faith. God wants us to be people of one hundred percent faith, not just with an evangelical layer on top. In times of trial is where God's people truly get what they have, and we must believe that God is with us. Ultimately, the final card that the son of God plays is that we are citizens of eternity and no one can touch our souls.
The speaker discusses the importance of living a life of faith and detachment from material possessions. He encourages listeners to focus on the essential things in life, such as sustenance and shelter, and to learn to live in community and support one another. He also emphasizes the power of spiritual principles and the importance of living by faith, even in difficult circumstances. The speaker references the biblical story of Josaphat and the prophetic word that God would perform a miracle without the need for Israel to fight. The speaker encourages listeners to trust in God and his ability to work miracles in their own lives.
The speaker discusses two models of life in the faith: one where God requires believers to work hard and another where believers must be still and trust in God's blessing. He emphasizes the importance of finding a central point or "fulcrum" in the word of God to stand on during difficult times. The speaker also stresses the power of stillness and rest in God and encourages believers to find peace in the midst of storms. Memorizing and accessing the word of God is also important for finding strength and defeating fear and anxiety.
The speaker encourages young people to memorize the word of God and have access to it in times of need. He advises not to let problems take control of one's life and to go against them with a strategy, which may seem crazy or difficult to accept. The speaker gives an example of Jehoshaphat's battle, where they worshiped and praised the Lord, and God set against their enemies. He encourages people to believe in the Lord and to proceed aggressively to build and give, even in the midst of an economic crisis. He believes that he is moving in a prophetic energy and that God has chosen this time to test them, similar to the widow of Zarepta's story.
Believe in God and his prophets, and live in faith in the word of God. In times of scarcity, those who find the crack of the word of God and move in the spirit will be prosperous and blessed. Put everything on the table and live by God's word. Rise up as a powerful people of faith. Give glory and honor to the Lord for all that you have received.I want to invite you to look again in Second Chronicles, Chapter 20. Do you remember that we were there last Sunday in that text and we said that since we could not finish it we were going to continue with it today because it still has many lessons to give us and it stuck with me. half of the sermon in the inkwell, as they say over there, and I wanted to finish it because it is a very fruitful sermon, tremendously anointed, a lot of teaching. Remember that this year God has told us that he wants us to walk by faith, to walk in faith, to learn to be a people of faith, a people who believe in God. And I, my promise and my commitment is as much as possible to have a series of sermons that help us understand those principles of faith.
The Bible says, the just will live by faith or by his faith will live. That is, the essential structure of the Kingdom of God is faith, that is the basic energy, it is the basic mentality, it is the basic foundation, it is the paradigm for using a basic Sunday word of the people of God, it is faith. The man, the woman of God does not live life and does not process the events and circumstances of life as the person who does not know God processes them. The man, the woman of God, the son of God has to make a change in his mind, he has to change his way of thinking and then live life in light of principles that are very different from the principles that are used in the world. . And that is why they require what the Bible calls a renewing of the mind, a transformation, a change in the way of thinking.
