The intentional God
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The pastor discusses the reasons for studying the book of Acts and the desire to return to the roots of the Christian faith. He emphasizes the need for a supernatural mentality and an even church where everyone is passionate and committed to the Kingdom of God. The pastor then briefly recaps the previous discussions on the beginning of the book of Acts and the ascension of Jesus. He moves on to discuss the inauguration of the church of Jesus Christ on earth in chapter 2, where the Holy Spirit descends on the first 120 Christians who were waiting and praying for the visitation. The pastor emphasizes the importance of waiting expectantly and actively for the Holy Spirit, and encourages listeners to pray for a personal touch from the Holy Spirit.
The speaker talks about the importance of seeking a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the church. He shares his experience at a conference focused on the Holy Spirit and encourages listeners to actively wait and search for a visitation from God. The speaker also highlights the significance of the day of Pentecost and how God intentionally chose this Jewish festival to pour out His Spirit. He emphasizes the importance of both crying out and waiting for God's timing in receiving a visitation from the Holy Spirit.
In this sermon, the speaker discusses the significance of the day of Pentecost and how it marks the beginning of the Christian faith. He explains how the festival of the first fruits, which took place on the same day, was a ceremony where the first sheaves of grain were cut and offered to God. This was symbolic of the resurrection of Christ, who was the first fruit of those who were resurrected and who opened the way for others to follow. The speaker emphasizes the importance of seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which was given to the disciples on the day of Pentecost, and encourages listeners to believe that they have received it and to live a spirit-filled life. He also invites those who have not yet received the baptism of the Holy Spirit to come forward for prayer.

Based on the book of Acts because again, can someone tell me why I have chosen to study the book of Acts in these next few months? What has moved me to do it? I have shared it with you. Someone who wasn't sleeping at 9 in the morning when I shared that, someone who's daring and can tell me why I'm taking time to study the book of Acts. Don't all raise your hand at the same time because you're going to confuse me. Ah, this way, Victor. Stand up and thunder like your son, one of those who was here, who was giving the drama. Tell me.
I remember that you said that….. ok. One of the reasons that my desire as your pastor is that our church return to the roots, to the origins of the Christian faith as exemplified by the book of Acts, the lives of the first Christians. Someone else tell me a little more, complete what Víctor said very well. Up, ok, good sister. Stand up, please.
