The Big Deal

Luke 17:15 “Then one of them, upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, recognizing and thanking and praising God with a loud voice; 16 And he fell prostrate at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a Samaritan.” [AMPC]

Every time God heals and does a miracle that is part one, no matter how big the miracle is. But every time you come back to say thank you, God delivers part two – every single time! Characteristic with leprosy is that it Read the rest of this entry

Now or Later?

Deut.8:5 “Think about it: Just as a parent disciplines a child, the Lord your God disciplines you for your own good.”

Mountain climbers tell us that if you take anyone from ground zero by helicopter and just drop the person on the top of Mount Everest, that person will die because his or her lungs are not prepared for that height. Read the rest of this entry

Love Controlled

2 Cor.5:14 [MSG] “Christ’s love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do.”

Love Story

Jn.15:13 “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Love So Amazing!

John 10:17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

 

“It is finished!” Jesus said and He took the key to death and hell from satan and bruised his head. He was taking the Blood, the atoning sacrifice to the altar in heaven and he was leading captivity captive. This was the most crucial part of the assignment. Read the rest of this entry

The Beauty

Ps. 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? 4 The one thing I ask of the Lord—the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…”

 

The grave is empty. Jesus is risen and alive! The beauty of the entire Christian experience is that our God is alive and well. The beauty of The Cross is that we were enemies of God but we have now been brought close to God and we can have fellowship with God. Jesus is alive! Read the rest of this entry

Amazing Grace!

Col.2:14 “He cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross” [with emphasis].

 

You are FREE from satan and his demonic hosts. You are EMPOWERED to destroy the works of satan and his demonic hosts. And you are FREE to walk with God. Jesus shamed the devil publicly so that you can be free to serve God. Read the rest of this entry

Spiritual Authority

Isa.53:4 “Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down…5 …He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed” [with emphasis].

Col.2:15 “In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross” [with emphasis]. The demon that will dare to defy the work of Jesus on The Cross of Calvary does not exist. Read the rest of this entry

Triumphant

Col.2:14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross” [with emphasis].

 

The devil and all his demonic hosts were disarmed, defeated and publicly shamed! It was not a private affair; it was a public disgrace. What does that mean for you and I? Read the rest of this entry
