God calls us to prosper in the midst of difficult times

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The main message for the new year is that God calls us to prosper in the midst of difficult times. This is seen in the contrast between darkness and light in Isaiah 60, with the promise that nations will walk in our light and kings in the splendor of our birth. The ruling image is found in Exodus 11, where God calls us to prosper in the midst of struggle and resistance from those who oppress us. Humanity has reached a new level of sophistication and maturity, and God adjusts his dealings with us accordingly. We are in a time of consummation and maturation, and God is taking humanity to a point of prostration where we realize our impasse and arrogance. This is a time of difficult times, but God calls us to prosper nonetheless.

The world is in a precarious state with fragile economies and the threat of terrorism from Islam. God is using these challenges to shame humanity and show that man is hungry for things divine. God is calling the church of Jesus Christ to a level of greater maturity and is sending judgments against humanity. However, God will also protect and prosper those who belong to him in the midst of these judgments. The pattern of the exodus shows that the people of God can have light in their rooms even in the midst of darkness. It is important to live in obedience and subjection to God's will.


The sermon discusses the importance of being obedient to God and living in vigilance and subjection to His will. The speaker emphasizes the need for a generous, surrendered, dynamic, and consecrated congregation that marches according to the guidelines of their spiritual leaders. The sermon also discusses the need to present a clear Gospel message that presents Christ as a refuge, defender, and door of escape. The speaker uses the story of the Passover from the book of Exodus to illustrate the idea of prosperity in the midst of destruction and the importance of speaking to people's spirits when proclaiming the Gospel. The sermon concludes by discussing the importance of speaking with authority and grace, and the blessings that God can bestow on His people.


This sermon is about prosperity in difficult times and the importance of obedience to God's commandments. The speaker references the story of the Israelites in Egypt, where they were commanded by God to ask their Egyptian neighbors for jewelry, which they received with favor. The speaker encourages listeners to ask God for wisdom and knowledge to prosper in all areas of life, and to live a life dedicated to God's purposes. The speaker also emphasizes the need for sanctification and urgency in these difficult times, and invites anyone who has not yet received Christ as Lord and Savior to do so. The sermon ends with a call to evangelism and the salvation of souls.


Evangelism is about saving souls and declaring the lordship of Christ. Those who walk under the banner of the risen Christ will have great power in these times. Put the flag of Christ in every aspect of your life to protect yourself from the devil's harm. Invite Jesus into your heart and receive forgiveness and eternal life. Live in the power of the Holy Spirit and be ready to obey the Lord's call. God bless you. Amen.


Let's go to the word of the Lord in the book of Isaiah, I want to share with you a new year's challenge and what I feel is the call of God for us, as a church, as a congregation, very much in light, very much in tune with what that God gave us through the time of praise, adoration, that call to be a church that breaks chains, that strengthens the structures of the Kingdom of God, that advances the interests of the Kingdom of the Lord here in the city where God has placed us, a healthy people, a robust people in the Lord, with a warrior and aggressive mentality for the Kingdom of God, a prosperous people, a blessed people and capable of going and bringing many to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 60, we are going to read a few verses, especially verses 1 to 3, they establish a good base for our meditation, a call and also a promise. Says:
