MY PASSION FOR THE LOST KEEPS REVIVAL BURNING
MI PASIÓN POR LOS PERDIDOS MANTIENE ARDIENTE EL AVIVAMIENTO
LA PASIÓN DE MIRIAM
- The Passion of Miriam, Moses’ Sister:
- In Exodus, much attention is rightly given to Moses, the great deliverer of Israel, and Aaron, the first high priest.
- Yet, standing alongside these titans of faith is Miriam, their sister—a woman of remarkable courage, faith, and influence.
- From her early days on the banks of the Nile to her leadership in the wilderness, Miriam’s passion for God and her people shines as a beacon for believers today.
- Miriam’s life exemplifies the importance of faithfulness, worship, and humility in the presence ofGod.
MIRIAM LA PROFETISA: ADORACIÓN Y LIDERAZGO
- After the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, Miriam emerges as a leader and worshipper.
“Entonces Miriam la profetisa, hermana de Aarón, tomó un pandero en su mano, y todas las mujeres salieron en pos de ella con panderos y danzas.” Éxodo 15:20
“And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”” Exodus 15:21
“Y Miriam las dirigía diciendo: “¡Canten al SEÑOR, pues se ha enaltecido grandemente! ¡Ha arrojado al mar caballos y jinetes!”.” Éxodo 15:21
- Here, we see Miriam is explicitly called a prophetess—the first woman in Scripture to bear this title.
- Her song is the earliest recorded hymn in the Bible, celebrating God’s deliverance.
- From these scriptures, we see several themes emerge:
1-PROPHETIC MINISTRY:
1-MINISTERIO PROFÉTICO:
- Miriam’s title as prophetess affirms that God speaks through women as well as men.
- Her song is not only poetry; it is an inspired proclamation, declaring the character and deeds of God.
2-EL PAPEL DE LA MUJER EN LA ADORACIÓN: MIRIAM ES UNA LÍDER APASIONADA
- We can see the vital contributions of women in worship and spiritual leadership.
- Miriam’s example demonstrates that women, under God’s authority, can lead others in praise and testify to His mighty acts.
- Be willing to lead by example and demonstrate a passion for leadership.
3-LA IMPORTANCIA DE LA ADORACIÓN: MIRIAM ES UNA ADORADORA APASIONADA
- Miriam’s immediate response to God’s deliverance is worship.
- Genuine passion for God is always expressed in praise, thanksgiving, and public testimony.
- As Christians, we see worship as both a duty and a delight, the overflow of a grateful heart.
- We need to lead a lifestyle of worship and thanksgiving.
- Passion for God is not mere emotion, but a deep-seated commitment to honor Him in all circumstances.
- We are called to cultivate hearts that overflow with praise, regardless of the challenges they face.
- We must be passionate worshippers.
4-EL VALOR DE LA MUJER EN EL PLAN DE DIOS: SÉ APASIONADA POR TU LUGAR EN DIOS
- While biblical distinctions affirm the indispensable role of women in God’s redemptive work…
- Miriam stands alongside Deborah, Esther, Mary, and others as a testament to God’s use of women for His glory.
- Be passionate about walking in your identity and place in God.
- Know your place, know your identity as a daughter of God, and stay the course and walk in his perfect will.
- Follow the plan.
5-SERVICIO FIEL:
- Miriam’s early courage and later leadership exemplify faithful service.
- She used her gifts to bless others and advance God’s purposes.
- The New Testament calls every believer to serve according to the gifts given by the Holy Spirit.

MARÍA MAGDALENA - “Una Vida Apasionada Impulsada por la Libertad”
[INTRODUCTION]
- Who is Mary Magdalene NOT?
- She is not the same lady that anointed Jesus’ feet.
- She is not the sister of Martha and Lazarus.
- She is not the woman caught in adultery.
- Who she IS:
- Mary Magdalene was delivered from 7 demons. Luke / Lucas 8:2
- She became a follower of Jesus.
- She supported and took care of Jesus and the 12 disciples. Luke / Lucas 8:1-3
- She was there when He was crucified. John / Juan 19: 25, Mark / Marcos 15:40
- She watched them bury Jesus.
“José compró un largo lienzo de lino. Luego bajó el cuerpo de Jesús de la cruz, lo envolvió en el lienzo y lo colocó en una tumba que había sido tallada en la roca. Después hizo rodar una piedra en la entrada.” Marcos 15:46
“Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus’ body was laid.” Mark 15:47
“María Magdalena y María, la madre de José, vieron dónde ponían el cuerpo de Jesús.” Marcos 15:47
- She was the first to see Jesus after the resurrection. Mark 16:9–11
- She was the first to preach the full gospel. John 20:11–18 (NLT)
[PASSIONATE POWERPOINTS]
I - DELIVERED FOR A PURPOSE
LIBERADA CON UN PROPÓSITO
- Mary’s starting point was one of deep bondage—possessed by seven demons.
- Mark / Marcos 16:9 and Luke / Lucas 8:2 both reference her deliverance.
- Calling her Mary Magdalene (from who He had cast out seven demons).
- Her freedom rather than her bondage had become part of her identity.
- Jesus set her free, and her immediate response was to follow Him.
- Her passion began where her deliverance took place.
- Reflection Question: What has Jesus set you free from?
- It doesn’t matter if it was today, yesterday or 10 years ago, Jesus has done SOMETHING for all of us.
- Frankly, there are probably things that we don’t even know about.
- Things He kept us from or kept from us and we aren’t even aware of the freedom we are experiencing because we did not have to go through those things.
- E.i. a job that we didn’t get, a big financial purchase that fell through, a relationship that ended unexpectedly.
- We tend to complain when things don’t go our way, forgetting that HIS ways are higher, HIS thoughts are higher. Isaiah / Isaias 55
- He IS able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. Ephesians / Efesios 3:20.
- So if He isn’t doing what we are asking or thinking, IT’S GOING TO BE BETTER.
- If we can wait.
II - DEVOTED IN THE BACKGROUND
DEDICADO EN EL TRASFONDO
“Soon afterward Jesus began a tour of the nearby towns and villages, preaching and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom of God. He took his twelve disciples with him,…” Luke 8:1
“Poco después, Jesús comenzó un recorrido por las ciudades y aldeas cercanas, predicando y anunciando la Buena Noticia acerca del reino de Dios. Llevó consigo a sus doce discípulos,…” Lucas 8:1
“…along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons;…” Luke 8:2

“…Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s business manager; Susanna; and many others who were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and his disciples.” Luke 8:3
“Juana, la esposa de Chuza, administrador de Herodes; Susana; y muchas otras que contribuían con sus propios recursos al sostén de Jesús y sus discípulos.” Lucas 8:3
- Mary Magdalene quietly and faithfully supported Jesus’ ministry.
- She gave her time, her resources, and her energy—not out of obligation but out of love and passion.
- Passion isn’t always loud; sometimes it shows up in faithful support.
- There’s no record of her laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover or casting out demons.
- She supported Jesus. As ministers, which if you are saved, you should be ministering/witnessing to others, we are not solely responsible for what God does in an individual’s life.
- We are there to support what Jesus wants to do in their life.
- We don’t get to decide God’s will for someone’s life.
- We get to be a support for them and guide or point them TO Jesus.
III - PRESENT IN HIS PAIN
PRESENTE EN SU DOLOR
“Standing near the cross…was Mary Magdalene.” John 19:25
“Estaba de pie junto a la cruz…María Magdalena.” Juan 19:25
“Some women were there, watching from a distance…they had cared for him…” Mark 15:40–41
“Algunas mujeres miraban de lejos…lo habían cuidado...” Marcos 15:40-41
- Even when most of His disciples fled, Mary stayed.
- Passion doesn’t run when things get hard—it remains.
- She was devoted in Jesus’ darkest hour.
- Are you well acquainted with the sacrifice that Jesus made for you?
- Mary Magdalene was AT the cross.
- She saw the beating, the hammering of the nails, the piercing of His side.
- How long has it been since you thought about what Jesus went through on the cross?
- Do you connect His death with your sin?
IV - PERSISTENT AFTER HIS DEATH
PERSISTENTE DESPUÉS DE SU MUERTE
“…Mary Magdalene…purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body.” Mark 16:1
“…María Magdalena…[compro] especias para ungir el cuerpo de Jesús.” Marcos 16:1
- She came not expecting a resurrection, but to honor Him in death.
- Passion keeps going, even when hope seems lost.
- Her love didn’t stop at the grave.
- When everything is thriving, miracles are happening, people are getting set free, you’re getting “what you want”, passion is easy.
- How is your passion when all seems lost.
- When death seems to be trending in your life?
- The thing that changed your life in the best way possible is no longer accessible, how’s your passion for Jesus?

“María Magdalena encontró a los discípulos y les dijo: «¡He visto al Señor!». Y les dio el mensaje de Jesús.” Juan 20:18
- Jesus chose her to be the first witness of the resurrection.
- Her passion positioned her to experience resurrected glory.
- —What if she decided, “Well, He’s dead..there’s nothing else for me to do.”
- She became the first preacher of the full gospel—the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ!
[CLOSING CHALLENGE]
- A life touched and transformed by Jesus is a life fueled by passionate devotion.
- If our passion for Jesus and for the lost has diminished, we need a fresh touch and a continued transformation.
- Let the memory of your deliverance drive you to a life of devotion.

Cada día Jesús iba al templo a enseñar… Lucas 21:37 a
The crowds gathered at the Temple early each morning to hear him. Luke 21:38
Todas las mañanas, desde muy temprano, las multitudes se reunían en el templo para escucharlo. Lucas 21:38
· During the week before his sacrifice on the cross he was teaching.
· These verses highlight Jesus' dedication to teaching and His role as a rabbi.
· His daily teaching underlines His commitment to instructing the people and challenging the religious leaders.

THE HEART OF THE PSALMIST
EL CORAZÓN DEL SALMISTA
Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. Psalms 25:4-5
Muéstrame la senda correcta, oh Señor; señálame el camino que debo seguir. Guíame con tu verdad y enséñame, porque tú eres el Dios que me salva. Todo el día pongo en ti mi esperanza. Salmo 25:4-5
WHAT JESUS IS ASKING FROM US
LO QUE JESÚS NOS PIDE
Matt 11: 28-30
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, (and learn from Me) because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
28 Luego dijo Jesús: “Vengan a mí todos los que están cansados y llevan cargas pesadas, y yo les daré descanso. 29 Tomen mi yugo sobre ustedes. Déjenme enseñarles, (y aprendan de Mí)porque yo soy humilde y tierno de corazón, y encontrarán descanso para el alma. 30 Pues mi yugo es fácil de llevar y la carga que les doy es liviana”.
LEARNING ATTITUDE
ACTITUD DE APRENDIZAJE
Be OPEN to learn.
A child is open, and therefore constantly learning. Everything is new to him.
As adults, many of us lose this sense of wonder and curiosity that children have.
1Peter 2:2-3
…as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, …
Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.
…deseen como niños recién nacidos, la leche pura de la palabra, para que por ella crezcan para salvación, …
Pidan a gritos ese alimento nutritivo ahora que han probado la bondad del Señor. 1 Pedro 2:2-3
[APLICATION]
God is ready to show us the way as we read, meditate and study His Word.
Through my relationship with Jesus, he instructs me. He teaches me how to think, how to speak, and how to walk every day.
Peter’s instructions serve as a reminder that what we desire and consume profoundly impacts our spiritual growth.
This command means we must learn to desire the undiluted word of God, as a newborn craves milk.
[CONCLUSION]
When I reflect on His Word, my passion, my desire to learn grows.
Cuando reflexiono en Su Palabra, mi pasión, mi deseo por aprender crece.

THE HEART OF THE PSALMIST
EL CORAZÓN DEL SALMISTA
Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. Psalms 25:4-5

WHAT JESUS IS ASKING FROM US
LO QUE JESÚS NOS PIDE
Matt 11: 28-30
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, (and learn from Me) because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
28 Luego dijo Jesús: “Vengan a mí todos los que están cansados y llevan cargas pesadas, y yo les daré descanso. 29 Tomen mi yugo sobre ustedes. Déjenme enseñarles, (y aprendan de Mí)porque yo soy humilde y tierno de corazón, y encontrarán descanso para el alma. 30 Pues mi yugo es fácil de llevar y la carga que les doy es liviana”.
LEARNING ATTITUDE
ACTITUD DE APRENDIZAJE
Be OPEN to learn.
A child is open, and therefore constantly learning. Everything is new to him.
As adults, many of us lose this sense of wonder and curiosity that children have.
1Peter 2:2-3
…as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, …
Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.
…deseen como niños recién nacidos, la leche pura de la palabra, para que por ella crezcan para salvación, …
Pidan a gritos ese alimento nutritivo ahora que han probado la bondad del Señor. 1 Pedro 2:2-3
[APLICATION]
God is ready to show us the way as we read, meditate and study His Word.
Through my relationship with Jesus, he instructs me. He teaches me how to think, how to speak, and how to walk every day.
Peter’s instructions serve as a reminder that what we desire and consume profoundly impacts our spiritual growth.
This command means we must learn to desire the undiluted word of God, as a newborn craves milk.
[CONCLUSION]
When I reflect on His Word, my passion, my desire to learn grows.
Cuando reflexiono en Su Palabra, mi pasión, mi deseo por aprender crece.

LA PASIÓN DE APOLOS
[PRESENTATION]
- Think bout those that helped you grow spiritually.
- Did you humble yourself to let speak truth in you?
- Did you adore God by you being teachable.
- A verse as I was studying on Apollos.
“pues por falta de conocimiento mi pueblo ha sido destruido. »Puesto que rechazaste el conocimiento, yo también te rechazo como mi sacerdote. Ya que te olvidaste de la Ley de tu Dios, yo también me olvidaré de tus hijos.” Oseas 4:6
- Hard teaching - keep in the back of your head.
- By end of service connect verse with message.
- Apollos was so influential that some scholars believe he may have written the book of Hebrews
- Apollo’s impact was so great Paul addresses it.
“Me refiero a que unos dicen: «Yo sigo a Pablo»; otros afirman: «Yo, a Apolos»; otros: «Yo, a Cefas» (Pedro); y otros: «Yo, a Cristo».” 1 Corintios 1:12
- Paul then asks - Is Christ divided?
- People were pledging loyalty to the preachers.
- This is how important & passionate this man was.
THE PASSION OF APOLLOS
LA PASIÓN DE APOLOS
- Apollos was a Jewish man born in Alexandria, Egypt - passionate follower of the teachings of John the Baptist.
- These were people who didn’t fully understand the whole message - Baptism of Holy Spirit and Salvation through Jesus Christ.
“Por aquel entonces llegó a Éfeso un judío llamado Apolos, natural de Alejandría. Era un hombre elocuente y poderoso en el uso de las Escrituras.” Hechos 18:24
- “Eloquent” - Google said.
“Elocuente”: describe a alguien o algo que expresa ideas o sentimientos con claridad, eficacia y, a menudo, con belleza y gracia.
- It implies a skillful & persuasive use of language - 5 categories:
Persuasive / Persuasivo
Graceful and Beautiful / Agraciado y Hermoso
Powerful / Poderoso
Effective / Efectivo
“This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.” Acts 18:25
“Había sido instruido en el camino del Señor, y ferviente en espíritu, y enseñaba con la mayor exactitud acerca de Jesús, aunque conocía solo el bautismo de Juan.” Hechos 18:25

“Ferviente en espíritu”: significa tener una pasión profunda, ardiente y entusiasta, a menudo dirigida específicamente hacia asuntos espirituales o hacia un propósito superior.
- It’s about having an intense inner drive and zeal that fuels your actions and attitudes.
- 5 different categories:
Deep Sincerity / Sinceridad Profunda
Active and Diligent / Activo y Diligente
Spiritual Connection / Conexión Espiritual
Wholeness of Being / Plenitud del Ser
[REFLECTION]
- Yoke of Jesus Christ is not about you anymore.
- It’s not about how much you love God, but how much God loves you.
- That yoke is no longer heavy, it brings great joy.
- You want to walk & talk & think like Christ.
- You want to be Christ like?
- Back to Apollo’s and being fervent in spirit.
- Although Apollo’s didn’t have complete understanding, God still used him.
- He directed people towards that narrow path leading into eternal salvation.
- So I tell you, regardless of how much you think you know, or don’t know, Holy Spirit will use you.
- But don’t be complacent.
- Keep feeding yourself the Word of God.
- Sign up for the Bible Studies.
- I’m two years deep, I love it.
- Even though all that was written about Apollos, was it enough for him to be able to deliver The Message of The Lord Jesus Christ?
- NO, He was still not fully equipped to lead or to teach the full message of Jesus.
- The song says “If am not dead he’s not done, greater things are still to come, ohh I believe.”
- So enter some tentmakers.
“Comenzó a hablar valientemente en la sinagoga. Al oírlo Priscila y Aquila, lo tomaron a su cargo y le explicaron con mayor precisión el camino de Dios.” Hechos 18:26
[REFLECTION]
- This is what amazed me about this man.
- The humbleness he displayed left me at aw.
- I was moved & so happy - my heart got full of joy.
- Not because he was eloquent & fervent in spirit.
- Not because he was educated.
- Not because he might’ve written Hebrews.
- Not because he was an impact in early church.
- But because he showed how much he adored God with a passion by humbling himself to receive the Knowledge Of God.
- Allowing himself to grow and mature spiritually.
- Growing in the Jesus Christ he showed himself being open minded and desire to grow in his faith.
[APPLICATION]
- Let’s be like Apollos & humble our selves.
- (Acts 18:26) is a good example of knowing your function in the body of Christ.
- Apostle Bob said this past Sunday to serve one another in the body of Christ.
- Aquila & Pricilla knew their function in the body of Christ by taking Apollos & completed him in the message of Jesus - so that he could serve & edify.
- These three helped in strengthening the church - the body of Christ.

“For he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.” Acts 18:28
“Pues el refutaba vigorosamente en público a los judíos, demostrando por las Escrituras que Jesús es el Cristo.” Hechos 18:28
[KEY POINTS]
- The fear of the Lord will keep you in that narrow path of eternal salvation. Do you not think that Apollos being mighty in Scripture did not know about (Hosea 4:6)?
- Do you adore God passionately enough that you will humble yourself and make yourself teachable in the knowledge of your Creator?
- Without knowledge, there’s no passion. Without passion, there’s no revival. So let’s get into the Word and fuel our passion for God.
