Classic Sermon #6056: Free Us from the Past (B)

Dr. Roberto Miranda
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: The speaker discusses the importance of the Christian's mental and emotional life, and how it is often overlooked in spiritual discussions. He emphasizes the need to renew and transform oneself through the Holy Spirit, and to confront past experiences and emotions that may be blocking the flow of God's energy in our lives. The speaker also discusses the mechanisms of memory retention, repression, and transference, and how they can affect our present experiences. He encourages listeners to become more aware of their internal lives and to take steps towards healing and growth.

The speaker discusses the importance of childhood formation and how it affects our future identity. He emphasizes the role of parents in shaping their children's personalities and how the environment they provide can either positively or negatively impact their children's lives. He suggests that the word of God is the perfect manual for parents to instruct their children and that we should not underestimate the importance of a word well said or badly said, a gesture of rejection, or unjustified abuse in those first months and years of our children's lives. The speaker also discusses how our family past can distort us in various ways, including our sexual identity, attitudes towards marriage, authority figures, and our relationship with God.


Our relationship with God and our self-esteem are often shaped by our upbringing and the attitudes of our parents. If we are constantly told we are worthless and have no value, we may develop a negative image of ourselves and of God as an authoritarian figure. It is important for parents to teach their children that they are valuable because they are children of God, and for individuals to ground their self-esteem in their relationship with Christ. We should not be dependent on the approval of others or the circumstances of our lives, but rather on the unchanging truth of God's love and promises.


Romans 12:2, and I hope many of you can even recite it from memory. The word of the Lord says: "...do not conform to this century but transform yourselves through the renewal of your understanding so that you may verify what the good and perfect will of God is..."

The key there is to renew yourselves or transform yourselves through the renewal of your understanding.
