Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
In this sermon, the speaker discusses the importance of cultivating a supernatural mindset and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. He focuses on Acts 2, where the Holy Spirit comes upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost. The speaker emphasizes the importance of unity and harmony in a congregation for the Holy Spirit to manifest. He also stresses the need for humility, meekness, and submission in relationships, especially in marriage. The speaker encourages listeners to cultivate love and manifest the love of Christ above all else.
The speaker discusses the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit and being guided by Him in one's life. He shares personal experiences of being led by the Holy Spirit, and encourages the congregation to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit for boldness, effectiveness, and miracles in ministry. He also reminds them that the Holy Spirit can discipline and punish, and that holiness is required in the presence of the Holy Spirit. He believes that we are entering a season of great manifestation of the Holy Spirit and encourages the church to prepare themselves for it.
The speaker discusses the various ways in which the Holy Spirit moves and works in the lives of believers. They mention that the Holy Spirit can discipline and punish those who do not follow God's ways, but also gives prophetic knowledge and revelation. The Holy Spirit can also direct the evangelistic work of the church and facilitate the spread of the Gospel through a miraculous environment. The speaker also acknowledges that persecution can arise when the Holy Spirit is moving in powerful ways, but they will not compromise the Gospel for the sake of appeasing others.
In this chapter, we see the Holy Spirit moving and bringing boldness, effectiveness, miracles, discipline, punishment, prophetic knowledge, baptism of the Holy Spirit, revelation, healing, deliverance, and the spread of the Gospel. It is important to preach the Gospel clearly and without compromise, even in the face of persecution. We should fall in love with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to take control of our lives and our church. We should desire more of His presence and radicalize ourselves for Him.Let's go to the word of the Lord in the book of Acts in chapter 2. For those who visit us and those who have not been for a while, let's remember that at all times that I can, that no other type of situation intervenes, visitor, a trip or whatever, I am going to be walking through the book of Acts, as you have well heard but I am going to keep repeating it until it registers. My desire through this study is to instill in us as a congregation and as individuals what I call a supernatural mindset, a sensitivity to things of the spirit, an understanding that the Christian life is not processed the way it is. that the other phenomena of human existence are processed, but that it is something that is navigated in the spirit.
The Apostle Paul says that those who are of the spirit think about the things of the spirit. It speaks of the spiritual man or the spiritual woman. And for that we have to renew our minds and one of the ways in which we renew our minds is by meditating on the word of God, meditating on those paradigms, those concepts that the word of God registers for us and when we see those texts, those narratives , study them, listen to them exposed in the different moments in which we study the word of the Lord, in our minds that idea is recorded: I am a man, I am a woman of the spirit, I am from eternity, I do not walk, I do not think, I do not speak, I don't process the events of life in the same way that the natural person, the natural man, the person who processes things in the flesh according to reason alone does.
