Philip - A life filled with the Holy Spirit

Dr. Roberto Miranda

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The life of a person filled with the Holy Spirit, like Philip's, is characterized by service, love for souls, miracles and supernatural manifestations, direction by the Holy Spirit, humility in serving both in private and in public, unpredictable acts led by the Holy Spirit, and a lifetime of replication and fidelity. Philip's ministry began with serving tables as a deacon in the early church, and it was through this period of invisibility and learning that he was prepared for the greater dimensions of his ministry. The life of a person filled with the Holy Spirit is a life of service and love for others, including serving in secret.

In this sermon, the speaker discusses the story of Philip in the book of Acts and how his life was characterized by service, love for souls, miracles, and direction from the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes the importance of taking advantage of opportunities, even in adverse circumstances, to preach the Gospel and have a passion for lost souls. The speaker also encourages living a supernatural life and expecting miracles in one's life, as well as being directed by the Holy Spirit in all decisions. He shares personal examples of supernatural encounters and emphasizes the importance of humility in following God's direction.

The passage discusses the importance of allowing God to direct your life and decisions, and cultivating a sense of dependence on Him. The story of Philip in the desert and his encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch illustrates how God can lead us to unexpected opportunities for evangelism and ministry. The passage also emphasizes the need to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, even if it goes against traditional orthodoxy, and to prioritize the message of salvation and baptism over complicated teachings and doctrines.

The speaker believes that accepting Christ as Lord and Savior is all that is needed for baptism. The speaker also encourages fighting for and believing in the spiritual growth and blessings of one's children, even if they seem far from the Lord. The speaker also encourages a life of replication and fidelity to God, and a hunger for a supernatural, Holy Spirit-filled church.

I think these examples of people like Felipe are designed to teach us the possibilities, to open our eyes and our appetite so that we yearn and believe that those same things can also happen in our lives. How is the life of a man filled with the Holy Spirit? Because that was definitely Felipe. What features are there?

And I am going to start by reading a passage in chapter 8, but I want to go back a little bit later because there is a part of Philip's life that does not appear there in that passage, and that many do not know about. Many only know of this event when he met the eunuch in the desert. Verse 4:8 says:
