Sometimes miracles take time and effort.

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The sermon discusses the common desire for miracles to bring about transformational change in different aspects of life. However, the speaker emphasizes the need to understand that some miracles require time and effort, and that patience, perseverance, and dedication are necessary to achieve them. The sermon cites examples from popular culture and biblical passages that stress the importance of waiting and persevering. The story of Naaman's healing from leprosy in the Bible is used as an illustration of a miracle that required patience and effort.

The story of Naaman in the Bible teaches us that miracles and transformations in our lives require effort and time, but God is willing to perform them if we are willing to invest in them. Naaman had to travel a long distance, humble himself, overcome obstacles, and submerge himself seven times in the Jordan River to receive his healing. Similarly, we may have to persevere and wait patiently for the changes we desire in our lives. God wants us to mature and develop character through waiting and struggle, so that we can handle the miraculous and thunderous when it comes. As a church and individuals, we must continue to invest, work hard, and be faithful to God's call, and the Lord will perform miracles in our lives.

Reading from Second Kings chapter 5 verses 9 to 14, “And Naaman came with his horses and chariot, and stood before Elisha's house, and then Elisha sent a messenger saying, “Go and wash seven times in the Jordan and your flesh will be restored, and you will be clean” 2 Kings 5:10

"And Naaman went away angrily saying: "Behold, I said to myself, he will come out soon and standing, call on the name of the Lord his God, and lift up his hand, and touch the place, and heal the leprosy"" 2 Kings 5: eleven
