Live life with purpose
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The passage from Hebrews 12:1 encourages us to throw off all weight and sin that hinders us and run the race of faith with patience, focusing on Jesus as the author and perfecter of our faith. To live a life of success and fruitfulness, we must believe that our minds and personalities are malleable and can change over time through the correct exercises and visions. We must align our lives with our values and aspirations and live with intentionality, consistently pursuing our goals. Inconsistency and lack of alignment will lead to tragedy, so we must identify and give up any defects or impediments that hinder our progress, surrendering everything to the Lord.
The speaker talks about the importance of living up to one's calling from God and using the examples of Samson and Jacob from the Bible. He emphasizes the need to align one's habits and practices with one's destiny and to be alert to the forces that can try to undermine God's call on one's life. The speaker encourages the audience to consecrate themselves to the Lord and to purify and heal themselves in order to fulfill God's purpose for their lives. He reminds them that God is not bribed with emotional praise but with actions and works.
The speaker encourages the congregation to live up to God's call and consecrate everything to the Lord.

The congregation is invited to come forward for prayer and to have their names taken down. The speaker blesses the congregation and encourages them to start their race in faith.

Chapter 12 of Hebrews, verse 1 says: "Therefore, having such a great cloud of witnesses around us, let us throw off all weight and the sin that besieges us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the reproach, and sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God."
I want to just leave it there and use that text as a starting point for our meditation this afternoon and as we're talking these past few Sundays we've talked about how to live a life of success, a life of fruitfulness, a life of impact, a life of creativity. , of continuous growth, personal development, of being better every day and every day overcoming our ties, our structural sins, the things that limit us in our growth and our performance as servants of God and there is that call from the Word of the Lord to strip ourselves from all weight and from the sin that besieges us.
