We want Christ to rise up, see his flag in the city
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The speaker talks about the need for a revived church that flows with the Holy Spirit, rather than following a set ritual. He explains that the early Christians had to improvise everything, and the first Christians did not have a set ritual. However, he warns that if spontaneity becomes routine, it can become a ritual, and the devil can get into it. The speaker believes that the church needs to catch the new wave of the Holy Spirit and flow with it. He also talks about the need for a conquest of the systems that sustain society and a repossession of the earth, claiming Jesus Christ and the values of the Kingdom of God. The speaker mentions Provincetown, where the pilgrims arrived seeking religious freedom and made a pact with the Lord to found a land dedicated to Him. The speaker believes that God is preparing for a great revival and a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The speaker discusses the need for the church to reclaim the structures of society, such as government, education, media, and the arts, for Christ. He argues that many churches have lost their vision and become captive to heretical teachings. He encourages believers to meditate on the Book of Acts and seek the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to fuel their efforts to conquer the land for Christ. He also challenges the traditional eschatological view that the world will only get worse and worse until Christ returns, and suggests that there is still work to be done to reconquer the earth for Christ before his return.
The book of Joel speaks about a last revival before the end times, where there will be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and signs in nature. Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved. The Jews will also convert in Jerusalem, and there will be massive conversions around the world. The church needs to reconquer the land, including Provincetown, which has been taken over by the homosexual community. This will involve conflict and war, but the church needs to be strong and filled with the Holy Spirit. The time is running out, and there is much work to be done before Christ returns. We need to be part of the last Pentecost and search and pay the price for it. We give glory and honor to the Lord and ask for His help in reclaiming the land and doing His will.Let's go to Acts, chapter 2. Last Sunday we were talking, we didn't fully enter the text of chapter 2, of the book of Acts, but we talked about the need for a revived church, as opposed to the Johannine church, like me I called. John preached that he baptized with water, but that one would come after him who baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire, that was the Lord Jesus Christ.
And we talked about the need for that church that moves, that flows in the people of God and that is moved by the Holy Spirit as we have seen this afternoon in our service, a church that flows in praise, flows in ministry, flows in word prophetic. I don't know if you know that that's what we were doing, prophesying. When we say we want Christ to rise up and step forward and we want to see Christ… that is prophecy. When we are singing, a river of life is flowing from your throne, oh God. What are we saying, we are making an affirmation by faith, and we are prophesying that this is what is going to happen. Sometimes we believe that only prophecy, oh God, that's what they call you, Lord, listen. Not necessarily. Prophesying can simply be announcing, a message from God in the anointing of the Holy Spirit of the moment. Prophecy can even be taking a verse from the Bible and uttering it for a given moment, for a person.
