Revival is brokenness and complete transformation

SUMMARY: The speaker begins by remembering a woman named Toñita who passed away a year ago. Toñita was a simple woman who lived a holy life and left a great legacy of faith. She was known for reading her Bible daily and leaving it well-marked. The speaker then turns to the book of Neemiah in chapter 8, where the people of Israel gather together to hear the reading of the law. The people are attentive and moved by the words they hear. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having a passion and vision for one's family and city, just as Neemiah had for Jerusalem.
The speaker encourages the audience to have passion and vision for their city, like Nehemiah did in the Bible. Nehemiah's vision was to restore the walls of Jerusalem and his passion led him to take action. The people of Jerusalem cried out for the book of the law, and Ezra read it to them from dawn to noon. The people were attentive to the book, not the preacher. The speaker emphasizes the need for the word of God to be central and for preachers to disappear, so that the glory belongs only to God. The speaker also expresses concern about the superficiality of messages in churches today and encourages a passion for the word of God.
In this sermon, the speaker shares about the importance of the Word of God and how it can bring transformation to our lives. She uses the example of Ezra, a scribe who delved deep into the Word of God, to illustrate how we should approach the Bible. The speaker also highlights the results of hearing the Word of God, which include brokenness, repentance, and adoration. She encourages listeners to meditate on the Word of God daily and allow it to have a profound impact on their lives.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of having a deep love and addiction to the word of God. She shares personal experiences of reading the Bible and feeling deeply moved, sometimes to tears. The word of God is said to bring joy, gladness, and deep obedience. Through reading the word, the people in the passage were able to confess their sins and ask for forgiveness. The speaker believes that a revival is needed in America and that Latinos are being prepared for a role in this revival. She concludes by stating that the word of God brings prosperity and that meditating on it can make all things prosperous.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of embracing and living by the word of God. He encourages the younger generation to seek the wisdom and revelation of the word, and to become channels of its teachings. The speaker prays for revival and for the sanctification of the people, starting with repentance and consecration. He considers the sermon on the importance of the word as foundational and prophetic. The prayer is concluded with a blessing for the sisters who have shared their teachings and for the people who want to serve God.

God bless you. Exactly one year ago, on November 4, we celebrated the women's retreat and at the very moment that our retreat ended, God took, gave an invitation to a great and simple woman to live with him for eternity, eternity. that he had covenanted with her 51 years earlier, when she accepted the Lord. There is still sadness in our hearts, but we are at the same time happy that Toñita is alive than ever, even though she is not here, she is more alive than ever by the Lord's side and is enjoying the reward that the Lord had promised her.
Toñita had many names, for one it was Tonia, for one it was Tonia specifically, for others it was my mommy, she was mother-in-law, she was grandmother, aunt, friend, counselor, intercessor. She extended her motherhood far beyond the limits of blood and did not belong only to her family but to many more as I know she belonged to the lives of many of you. And that is why on this day we want to bring it to memory.
