Every believer has access to the power of the Spirit
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The speaker discusses the baptism of the Holy Spirit and its importance in fulfilling God's tasks. He refers to the story of Cornelius in Acts 10, where God baptizes a Gentile without Peter laying his hands on him. The speaker emphasizes that God can do whatever he wants in baptizing individuals and that theological flexibility is necessary. He also describes the specific effects of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and addresses common errors associated with the doctrine. Overall, the speaker encourages believers to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit to receive the extra anointing needed to fulfill God's tasks.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a personal experience that can happen in different ways and should not be boxed in. The baptism of the Holy Spirit has several effects, including imparting a supernatural mentality, passion for the things of God, increased strength and capacity to carry out tasks, authority to testify of Jesus, and access to supernatural gifts. The book of Acts provides a narrative of the Holy Spirit-filled church and serves as a model for the church today. The Holy Spirit can lead believers to divine appointments in evangelizing and connect restless souls with the gospel.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of the Holy Spirit in a church's effectiveness in evangelism and impacting society. He notes that when the anointing of the Holy Spirit is present, divine encounters and appointments occur more easily. The decline of churches and the lack of conversions in some areas are attributed to a lack of focus on seeking the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The speaker also highlights the difficulty of living a Christian life in an ultra-secular and rational society, and the need for believers to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. He encourages daily seeking of the Holy Spirit and humbly asking for His guidance and empowerment in all aspects of life.
The speaker had a dream where a Volkswagen had bicycle wheels and God told him that he has a lot of burden on his life and needs to strengthen himself in prayer, fasting, the word, and holiness. The speaker urges the audience to renew their pact with the Holy Spirit and ask for a new anointing in their lives. They pray for a revived church and for God to pour out His spirit on His people.I want to invite you in the book of Acts, chapter 10... as you know we are in this day of sermons, I have called them doctrinal sermons, orthodox sermons, sermons that help us better understand the doctrine of our Christian faith. Unexpectedly I stumbled upon a sub-series within the larger series when I started talking about the Holy Spirit.
Because in reality my wish was simply to have just one... just one sermon on the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit within so many other doctrines that make up our Christian faith but discovering the importance of We have been talking about the baptism of the Holy Spirit for about 5 Sundays or so in this teaching and it is an obviously vast and profound subject, very varied in its different dependencies, let's say.
