What is Controlling You?

‘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” […]

Whose Side Are You On?

 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 […]

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 […]
