God wants us to be healthy people
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The sermon discusses the importance of living healthy lives emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, and being healthy individuals who reflect the good Will of God. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having hope and faith in God, and believing that God can heal any pain or trauma in our lives. The sermon also emphasizes the importance of valuing oneself based on God's love and not on external factors. The speaker encourages listeners to believe that God is with them and is for them, even in the midst of life's struggles and challenges. Overall, the sermon emphasizes the importance of emotional health and well-being as a reflection of God's love and grace in our lives.
The belief that God is always with us and in our favor is important for emotional and spiritual health. The Psalmist in Psalm 46 expresses confidence in God as his refuge and strength, even in the midst of turmoil and conflict in the world. This belief in God's support gives us the confidence to undertake bold and creative things. The story of Gideon in Judges 6 also shows how God encourages and supports us, even when we doubt ourselves. The key is to focus on God's truth and principles, rather than getting carried away by our emotions.
Gideon was a man full of doubts and fears, but God called him to greatness and to free His people. Similarly, God calls us to do great things and we must learn to trust in Him and His promises. We should not let our emotions or fears control us, but instead fill ourselves with the Word of God and faithfulness of God. God wants us to live by faith and see things that are not yet there, just as He does. We should trust in God for our battles and believe that He is with us always. God wants us to do works of justice and greatness, appropriating the weapons of our militia that are not carnal but powerful for the destruction of fortresses, weapons of light. We should live our lives believing in God and His promises, no matter where we are or what we are doing.We are in the middle of a series of sermons whose message is: How to live healthy lives emotionally, spiritually, mentally, how to be healthy people that reflect that abundant life that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to make possible in us. How to be people who reflect the good Will of God, the gentleness of the Kingdom of the Lord, the emotional health that God wants us to manifest.
There is nothing that contradicts the beauty of the Gospel more than a hateful, offensive, depressed person and it is not that you feel guilty if you are dealing with depression because that is part of God's work to heal us, but those things are like a direct contradiction of what the Kingdom of God is supposed to reflect.
