Jesus was talking to a crowd who had witnessed a man being delivered from a demon by Him.  Some in that crowd accused Him of using the power of Satan, which Jesus refuted.   A woman in that crowd shouted out: (NASB) Luke 11:27“…‘Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at […]

 Followers of Christ: we are to consciously choose to live with our mind set on things above and not on the old self which is like those without Christ. (NASB) Colossians 3:2 “Set your mind on the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” (NASB) Colossians 3:9 “Do not lie […]

 (NASB) Colossians 3:3-4 “For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.’ What amazing words!  This sounds so beautiful…but what can it mean? As followers of Christ, we have received Him as […]

(NASB) Colossians 3:2 “Set your minds on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.” Re-focus…on eternal truths. Intentionally think about…God’s words of truth.

‘Lord, why did You give this “picture” of an unclean spirit after You explained Your power over Satan?’ In Luke 11:20, clearly You cast out demons by the power and authority of God the Father. In Luke 11:21-22, clearly You declared Your power over Satan. In Luke 11:23, clearly You stated that people are “for” […]

 Jesus stated a sobering and thoughtful fact: (NASB) Luke 11:23 “He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.” Everyone likes to be on the winning side.  People who choose to side against Jesus Christ will be the losers!  They cannot ultimately win.  Without Christ Jesus […]

 Jesus gave a parable about His power being greater than Satan’s power: (NASB) Luke 11:21-22 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. 22 ‘But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and […]

   Jesus had cast out a demon that had power over a mute man.  After Jesus used His power, the man could talk and the crowds that had witnessed the miracle were amazed. Some in that crowd accused Jesus: (NASB) Luke 11:15 “…‘He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.’” Others in […]
