The Christian grows when he goes through the test
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The speaker is continuing a series on health and healing, discussing how God wants us to live joyful and healthy lives. He explains that Christ came to defeat the powers of darkness and establish God's benevolent government on earth. He emphasizes that the Bible is a practical manual on how to live a healthy life and heal ourselves from deficiencies and problems. He discusses the importance of reading and studying the Bible to find the tools we need to face the adversities of life. He encourages Christians to be well-educated in the Word of God to avoid falling into the traps of the devil. He shares a personal anecdote about his mother, who had a basic education but was wise because she studied the Word of the Lord.
The speaker discusses several principles from the Bible that can help people live a happy and fulfilling life. These include understanding one's value comes from God, believing that God is with us and in our favor, detaching oneself from the world and people, and accepting that suffering is part of the human experience. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having faith in God, believing in oneself, and living positively.
Pastors can harm people by only preaching good things and not preparing them for the trials and tribulations of life. God allows afflictions to come into our lives to strengthen and temper us, and it is important for Christians to learn to confront the devil and trust in God's faithfulness. Trials and tribulations are necessary for spiritual growth and to truly know Christ. We should not be afraid of tests and should trust in God's protection and love for us. The angels of God are with us at all times, and we should leave with the confidence that God values and loves us. The community of believers is a ship that will reach the safe port of heaven, and we should trust in God's promises.I want to go back to the series that we've been dealing with on health and healing, how to live glowing lives, joyous lives, triumphant lives even in the midst of trials and struggles. And I know that many weeks have passed because we have had so many different events and rich things that God has given us that we have had to postpone the development of this series.
But I want to pick it up again and continue because I think it's a series of messages that encapsulates and brings together all the themes of the Gospel in a very beautiful way and has tremendous practical value.
