WE NEED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

   We can distinguish three sources of power in the world with which it manages or dominates human society: The political, military and economic power. The power puffed up, intoxicated, and gigantic ego; becomes addictive, and always wants more; It produces pain and humiliation of having to leave. However, for those who recognize their poverty and spiritual need (Mt.5.3), the Savior of the world offers another kind of power so that they can be freed from all kinds of tyrannies.

   The Lord God had made that promise long before his Lamb surrender his life in martyrdom; and it was precisely on the basis of this sacrifice that began having promised compliance, which endures to this day. Appearing to his disciples after the resurrection, the Master said, "... you will receive power when there come upon you the Holy Spirit, and you will be my witnesses ... to the ends of the earth." (Hch.1.8).

   The apostle Peter and instructed the crowd: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who are afar as many as the Lord our God shall call. "(Hch.2.38-39)

   The first tyranny that must be released, through this power that God offers us as a gift, is one that holds us immorality. Thus St. Paul says, "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. "" Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, love one another deeply, from the heart. "(1-P.1.22)

   But this goes far beyond liberation. He not only wants us to bodily health, and our purified souls, but also wants us to be prosperous in all, (3-John 2). This divine power is not blind or produce chaos. It is guided by the revealed word and defines its parameters basically within ten (10) principles: 1) Holiness (He.12.14), 2) Integration (Jn.17.21; Ef.4.14-16; one-Co.12.25 -27), 3) Solidarity and service (He.13.16), 4) Equality, (2-Co.8.13-15), 5) Activism (Mt.12.30), 6) Integral Prosperity, (3-John. 2) 7) No violence (Ro.12.21), 8) Community Theocracy (Ef.5.21), 9) Longing for the Holy Spirit, and enable you to develop your power in us, (Hch.1.8), and 10) Accept Bible as the sole and sufficient revealed truth, the word of the Kingdom of God (Mt.13.19).


   These principles applied in personal and community life of the people of God make the mystery of God revealed to the world (Col.1.26-27) is the best solution to eradicate poverty, injustice and indifference. The Kingdom of God is in force in our country, and each of us who participated in it were given gifts and talents to ensure its smooth progress and development to the same Savior in person perfect and complete this great project. Meanwhile we must prepare us for the Spirit of God unites us and fill us with joy in this life and forever.
