Believe the prophets
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The sermon is based on Second Chronicles chapter 20 and focuses on King Jehoshaphat's crisis and how he appeals to God's promises and the word of God. The speaker emphasizes the importance of knowing the Bible and studying it regularly to be able to use it as a weapon in times of crisis. He also encourages admitting powerlessness before God, which opens up a void that God can fill. The message is relevant to the Church of Jesus Christ, which is facing a crisis and needs to turn its eyes to God.
The church is in a time of crisis and needs to admit its helplessness and turn to God for guidance. The story of Jehoshaphat in the Bible shows the importance of worship and prophetic gifts in allowing God to work through his people. The Church needs to learn to flow in the true gifts of the Holy Spirit and receive apostolic teaching to channel the power of God. There are hidden truths in the word of God that are being released for the Church to worship the true God and for his glory to manifest on earth. The battle is not ours, but God's, and we should not fear or be discouraged.
The speaker discusses a biblical story where God gives specific instructions to defeat an enemy, and emphasizes that the battle is not theirs, but God's. He encourages the audience to seek prophetic words and strategies from God, and to be still and rest in Him. The speaker also shares a personal prophetic word that the church and he himself are not yet prepared for the level of authority and responsibility that God wants from them. He urges them to seek purification, unification, and discipline to become the army that God needs. The speaker also declares himself as a prophet and apostle of God, not for personal validation, but as part of fulfilling God's plan.
In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of the apostolic and prophetic word of God in the church. He believes that the church needs to learn how to flow under authority and move in discipline and precision. He urges the congregation to believe in God and to believe his prophets, and to prepare themselves in the spirit by studying the word of God and converting to the Lord. He also stresses the need for changes in the church and for the people of God to be brave and true. The speaker believes that God is preparing a time for his church now in which nations and governments are going to have to listen to the word of the church and it is going to be a word where kings will tremble when they see the church say something.
The speaker encourages listeners to receive Christ and seek Him through studying the word and making changes in their lives. He reminds them that obeying God brings no loss or disaster and encourages them to believe in the prophetic authority of God. He prays for the Lord to seal the word in their spirits and teach them how to be a people that glorify Him. The speaker also expresses a desire for the glory of God to occupy the earth and for believers to know Him intimately.

Let's go to the word of the Lord. Second Chronicles chapter 20 and we go where the Lord takes us there in that chapter. Let's start. A word of God that I feel is a prophetic word, I say it with great deliberation and weight, it is a prophetic word of God.
This morning when I started preaching all I had was - as I sometimes do - a fragment of verse in my mind and with that I said, "Well..." and I had written a few short notes there this morning, and in fact that I couldn't find them and that it was like God wanted me to give that word from here inside the Spirit and for it to come out as He wanted to assemble it and we did so. Because this word is a word of instruction and formation for our church for all of us who are here in this community, León de Judá Congregation. And we are going to receive it this afternoon and let the Lord mark us and form us with that word.
