Demons Tremble

For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.  Luke 8:29

Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. Luke 8:30

And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. Luke 8:31

Jesus has the power and the authority of God because he is his only begotten son. Even demons know this and tremble at his very name. Notice these demons beg Jesus not to thru them into hell, why would they say this?

Because they know the power Jesus has, also they know that the book of Revelation is true. Jesus will one day throw Satan and his followers in Hell. There is power in the name of Jesus!

“What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?” Matthew 8:29

Another account of the story in Matthew, the demons not only beg Jesus not to torture them but confirm he is the “Son of God”

If Demons, who are the enemy of God and you, understand the power and authority of Jesus shouldn’t you?  There is no attack on this Earth whether it be sickness or death that can’t be overcome by the power and blood of Jesus.

“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!” Mark 1:24

Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” Mark 1:25

During one of Jesus sermons, a man possessed with demons cried out. Why? Because demons shudder at the name of Jesus, they also confirmed he is “The One of God” meaning the only begotten one.

If you reject Jesus or deny his power, you are not only condemning your future but leaving yourself defenseless to an evil prey that will devour you like a Lion.

You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.. James 2:19

Be aware that there is an enemy against you on this Earth, the reason is you are Gods creation his child. Satan hates you because he wants to be God, therefor he’s wants to destroy you. But God sent us a savior his name is Jesus Amen

Woe To The Shepherds

Woe  to the shepherds of Israel that  feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.Ezekiel 34:3

The leaders of the churches have failed, instead of feeding the poor they inherit great salaries, live in expensive houses, and drive fancy cars. Yet this is exactly the opposite of what God has taught us.

When the leader of the church is richer than the followers, there is obviously a problem here with the Church.
The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. Ezekiel 34:

Jesus spent most of his ministry healing the sick and showing Gods power, but how many Churches are doing this today? How many Churches are actually going out and looking for the lost?

Recent data has showed less people are going to Church and associating with a denomination. Could it be people are seeing the greed of the Churches and not seeing the love of Christ?
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. Ezekiel 34:10

Make no mistake about it God sees all and these corrupted leaders will be punished. It’s a great responsibility to take an oath with God and lead the body of a Church. Those who abuse there power will  feel the wrath of God.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.Ezekiel 34:16

But Jesus is the Head and Cornerstone of the Church, he is the Good Shepherd and he will seek and find you. All who answer his calling shall be saved and shall receive mercy. Take peace in knowing this in Jesus Name Amen

God’s Will

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Matthew 26:39

The night before Jesus was crucified, he asked God to change his mind three times because he knew the suffering he was going to endure. But Jesus willingly laid down his life for us all because it was Gods will for his life.

How many of us are following Gods will for our life? Or are you following your own will? Sometimes Gods plan doesn’t always seem like it’s the best plan, but just like Jesus, his plan is for the greater good of his Kingdom and not our Kingdom.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Some might say why is Jesus acting like this? Isn’t he the Messiah? The Son of God? Yes he is but he was human at this point, he felt everything just as we feel.

It’s a great statement when he says “the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”, doesn’t that sum us up mostly? We all want to serve God but we get sidetracked whether it be temptation or pain or depression..there are many things that keep us from Gods will

He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. Matthew 26:42

Again Jesus asked God again to change his mind, but as he said if its Gods will then let it be done. Jesus knew Gods plan was greater than his plan and he stayed obedient and fulfilled Gods will

We also need to trust Gods plan for us and have the same attitude, “if its Gods will then let it be done”, because we know God knows best for us.

And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Matthew 26:44

Jesus prayed a third time for God to change his mind, but he knew Gods will for him and faithfully accepted his assignment.

Notice how Jesus casted his cares to God thru prayer, we should do the same. Build a relationship with your Heavenly Father, let him know your thoughts and feelings. He knows every hair on your head and every tear that you cry.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10

Just as Jesus prayed in the Lords prayer, its important to remember its Gods will and not our will. Truest your Heavenly Father for his plans are greater than our plans in Jesus Name Amen

Jeremiahs Calling

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

God sends Jeremiah a powerful message here, he’s telling him he already knew him before he was sent to Earth, and he already had great plans for him. The world likes to tell us were born by mistake or a random act. But we are Gods children, you are here for a purpose, God knows and loves you!

Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:8

Many times when God calls us to do something, we don’t out of fear of being persecuted. But just as God told Jeremiah, he won’t leave him or forsake him, just as he won’t leave you. If your doing Gods will then he will protect you, if God is for us who can be against us

Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. Jeremiah 1:9

Do you keep quiet when you see injustice because you don’t know what to say? God will speak for you thru the Holy Spirit, don’t be afraid of evil. The Word of God is like a double edged sword and cuts to the heart.

The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” Jeremiah 1:12

God is watching us to see if we fulfill our destiny or to see if we choose to live for ourselves. Your deeds will not go unnoticed. Even if the world doesn’t notice, your reward will be great in Heaven

Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. Jeremiah 1:17

Are you ready? Are you prepared? Don’t allow yourself to be caught off guard, stay alert. Always be prepared to do Gods will and spread his word

They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:19

Just as God told Jeremiah, the world will fight against you, but will not defeat you. Don’t be afraid be strong and courageous as God has commanded you.

We can learn a lot from these words exchanged between God and Jeremiah, he’s calling you also, are you listening or resisting. God has made you and set up apart, answer your calling, in Jesus Name Amen

God Is Calling

Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 1 Corinthians 7:17

We all have different callings, God has giving each of us different talents and skills, therefor we all have different expertise and careers.  Whatever God has called you to do, use this opportunity to do his will and be an example of Christ.

Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 1 Corinthians 7-18-19

Thru the blood of Jesus the new covenant was established, meaning we are all now Gods people thru Jesus Christ not just Israel. No matter who you are or where your from, Jesus died for you and has created a new covenant for you with God.

Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. 1 Corinthians 7:20

Many times in life we become impatient or discouraged with our current job or situation. We need to remember God has brought us where we need to be. God brings us to certain people or situations for a reason and we need to be patient and wait for his will and not follow our own.

Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you–although if you can gain your freedom, do so. For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings 1 Corinthians 7:21-23

No matter how bad the situation or circumstances are, you are free thru Jesus Christ. He is the only one who has the power and authority to redeem. With him there is hope for the hopeless. Because the one that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.

Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. 1 Corinthians 7:24

Wherever you are, God has put you there for a reason. Instead of being discouraged, stay alert and answer the calling God has giving you. Whatever you do , do it all for the Glory of God in Jesus Name Amen

God is calling You

For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14

 

A survey from Forbes revealed over 70% of people dislike there current job, could it be we are not satifisfied with our careers because we have a higher calling from God?  Think about the driving force behind your career, is it motivated by God or money?

God has a special purpose for every one of us, if we listen to him he will direct our steps to do his will and bring fulfillment in our lives.

(Matthew 9:37) ” Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;”

 

The labourers are few, why? Because many fail to answer there calling by God. We blindly direct our own steps, but the harvest is plentiful, God is calling you and has a higher purpose for your life.

We have been called to be disciples of Christ, to spread the gospel around the world and let people know the good news, there is victory with Jesus and we are no longer slaves to death anymore

(1 Corinthians 3:9) “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.”

 

We are God’s church, his labourers to do his will and spread the Gospel, when we put God first instead of ourselves we will truly then be prosperous.

Jesus is the cornerstone of us, he is the Word , truth , and the way. Follow him and lead the lost to the cross of salvation. Theres a lot of help needed in this world, one by one we can make a difference, just takes a spark to start a fire.

(Matthew 29:19) “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”

 

God is calling you now, to spread the gospel of Christ thru the whole world, there is no greater mission. Some will refuse to hear, but as Jesus said “Shake the dust off your feet and move to the next town”.

When we continue to live for ourselves we will continue to live unsatisfied, live for Jesus , God is calling you today, make an eternal difference in peoples lives in Jesus name Amen
