The Finger of God

   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 […]

Amazing Power of Jesus

 FACT:  Jesus has power over demons.  Demons can inhabit the body of those without Christ. FACT:  Followers of Christ have been given the Spirit of God Himself.  He is stronger than any demon or even of Satan himself. (NASB) Luke 11:14 “And He (Jesus) casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon […]

Prayer of the Week

The prayer of the week is based on Psalm 68:19-20 Praise be to You Lord, God our Savior…for the Lord Jesus Christ came to save His people from their sins.  Oh, Lord, that we would come to You with our burdens and that we would praise You, for You daily bear our burdens! You are […]

Open my Eyes, Ears, Mind & Will, Lord

 Many times in this day and age, there are some who downplay the Lord Jesus’ miracles. The miracles are attributed to natural causes and/or man’s abilities to bring about the change. Either the Lord Jesus had the ability to change people and/or nature’s activities or He didn’t. How has the Lord Jesus worked in your […]

“Teach us to pray…”

   The disciples of Jesus asked Him to teach them to pray, and He taught this prayer which is so familiar to many, memorized by many…has it become a ‘rote’ prayer, said in a mindless way, said without thinking, said in a hurried manner to get through it?   As you read the following, you […]

The Best Gift of God

   For what did Jesus say we are to ask for, seek and knock as we pray to God the Father in heaven? (NASB) Luke 11:11-13 “Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?’ 12 ‘Or […]

Ask, Seek, Knock

 (NASB) Luke 11:9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”   Look at the action verbs: ask, seek, and knock.  Each of them is followed by a sure promise! Ask ~ you will be given your […]

Praying in Bold Persistence

   Picture this: A person is seen knocking at a friend’s door – at midnight – no lights are on in the house.  Yet the person at the door continues to knock, knocking to wake the person inside to come to the door. Finally, a hushed voice from inside, ‘Who is it and whadya’ want?’  […]

Temptations…

   The disciples of Jesus asked Him to teach them to pray…and so He did. Near the end of the prayer is an interesting phrase…which the followers of Christ should pray: (NASB) Luke 11:4 “…And lead us not into temptation.” Why would Jesus even say this?  God does not tempt anyone.  Never has, never will. […]

Prayer of the Week

(KJV) Romans 11:33-36 “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor? 35Or who hath first given to him (the Lord God), and it […]
