Gideon, symbol of Pentecostal life

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: In this final message on life in the Spirit, the speaker uses the story of Gideon from the Old Testament as an example of what a Spirit-filled life looks like. He emphasizes that the Spirit has always been present in scripture from the beginning of creation. The speaker notes that when a nation or person abandons God, suffering often follows. He uses the example of a baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding due to his Christian beliefs becoming a symbol of Christian belief and spiritual battles in the nation. The speaker emphasizes that before liberation, confession and recognition of sins must come. He directs the message to the congregation to sanctify themselves as God wants to do great things within them. The speaker notes that God chooses unlikely heroes to manifest through their lives.

God chooses unlikely heroes, and we are encouraged to know that if we feel like one, we are the best candidate for the Power of God to manifest through our lives. The Pentecostal theme is that we cannot do anything with our own strength, and God continually calls us to do things beyond our capacity. The key to living an effective life in the Power of the Holy Spirit is to believe that we have it, live as if we have it, use it, affirm it, confess it, and practice it. There must be a moment of crisis in the anointing of the Holy Spirit, just as there must be a moment of crisis in receiving Christ as Lord and Savior. We have to open the door to the filling of the Holy Spirit, and God can come and fill us with His Spirit wherever we are. The key is to believe, confess, and solve the problem of receiving the Holy Spirit.


The sermon encourages believers to recognize and use the power of the Holy Spirit within them. The speaker uses the examples of Gideon, Saul, David, and Timothy to illustrate how God's anointing can manifest in different ways. The speaker emphasizes that believers are responsible for fanning the flame of God's anointing within them and using it to do God's work. The sermon concludes by encouraging believers to have faith, use their power, and believe that God has great things in store for them.


God calls us to be like Gideon, a mighty and courageous people, and He wants to do something extraordinary in and through us. When God clothes us with His Power, it is an investment in our whole being, but we must also develop our character and address our weaknesses. Gideon was still a flawed man, but he was able to do great deeds because of the Power of God in his life. God calls us to come out of our caves and live with His Power, to stop hesitating and take a step of faith towards Him. We must resolve to give our lives to Jesus Christ and start walking in faith.


I want to end with the Lord's help this series of messages on life in the Spirit, life in the Power of the Holy Spirit, life filled with divine energy, life not lived in our own strength but in the Power of God, how to live that life Pentecostal, how to access the anointing and filling of the Holy Spirit, how to touch that source of power that is the Spirit of God and make effective believers who live the Christian life victoriously.

Ending this series, and closing, I want to take a character that for me exemplifies many of the issues that we have discussed, that we have dealt with about the Spirit-filled life and I want to go back to the Old Testament because as I have told you before, one of the Through this series, we have seen that in reality, the visitation of the Power of God, the Spirit-filled life is not a theme that begins in the Book of Acts or on the day of Pentecost, it is a theme and a process that given from the first page of Scripture, I would say, because one sees the Holy Spirit there at the very beginning of creation resting on inert, formless matter and creating life, and giving structure as the Holy Spirit does with us when he enters our life.
