We have to renew the vision

Dr. Roberto Miranda

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In this meditation, the speaker discusses the need for times when we have to seek the anointing of the Lord and renew our vision. He draws from the Book of Joel and discusses how the physical drought experienced by Israel was more than just a crisis, but a call to return to the Lord. Similarly, when we experience spiritual drought in our lives, we must seek the Lord's anointing and fresh visitation. The speaker also touches on the decline of the United States, which he attributes to the nation slipping away from its God-fearing roots. He encourages us to seek the Lord in times of crisis and to not settle for routine in our Christian lives.

The United States owes trillions of dollars to China and needs to stick to the fundamentals of its founding principles to avoid ridicule from other nations. Congregación León de Judá needs to seek a fresh anointing from God and not rest on its laurels. When droughts come in our lives, we need to go back to the source and ask the Lord to refresh us. The solution to national and spiritual drought is to turn to the Lord with fasting, weeping, and lamentation, and tear our hearts instead of our clothes. God is merciful and clement and may leave a blessing behind if we repent.

The speaker reflects on the need to seek the Lord and renew oneself spiritually. He references the biblical book of Joel and the story of Elijah to illustrate the importance of fasting, prayer, and humility in seeking God's anointing and renewal. He encourages listeners to define themselves, turn away from worldly desires, and seek the Lord's presence. The speaker emphasizes that God wants to bless and renew his people, and that seeking his anointing will bring about a new vision for the future.

Let's go to Joel chapter, we're going to start with chapter 1 and the other one is in chapter 18, Kings 19, First Kings chapter 19 and I'm going to use these two passages as a starting point for the meditation. And again, we continue with this theme about our week of fasting and prayer, and I want to invite you to reflect this morning on the need for times in which we have to seek the anointing of the Lord, we have to renew our vision.

And in this passage that is a Book that is known as a Book of revival, we see in verse 12 of chapter 2, we are going to start there, I am going to do it from this starting point, it says: "Therefore, then, convert to Me with all your heart, with fasting and lamentation, tear your clothes and return to the Lord, your God for he is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and great in mercy, and who hurts from punishment. Who knows if he will return and repent? , and leave a blessing behind him? This is an offering and a drink offering to the Lord your God."
