Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-21

Luke 7:21 (NKJV) 21 And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

As I read this scripture today, it hit me that many people, including most Christians, overlook the large number of people that Jesus healed from evil spirits (demons) in His earthly ministry.

We hear quite frequently about people being healed of leprosy or other various ailments, or even being raised from the dead. But how often do people talk about Jesus “healing people from evil spirits”?

Not very often, right?

But as I read this verse above, the Holy Spirit showed me clearly that evil spirits are just as big a problem as physical sickness. But because people aren’t as apt to recognize an evil spirit as they are a medical sickness, they pass right over the topic, or even the person with the evil spirit.

Here’s a question for you. If Jesus spent as much time as He did healing people of evil spirits (casting out demons), wouldn’t it seem like it’s pretty important?

And wouldn’t it make sense that we need to do the same thing?

We are, after all, supposed to do what Jesus showed us to do.

So, let’s make sure we’re looking at more than the physical body. Let’s allow God to show us what we can’t see.

And as Jesus did, let’s start being the mighty warriors we have been called to be, not shrinking back at the thought of doing battle with evil spirits.

But instead, stepping on the neck of the enemy and crushing it beneath our feet.

Mark 16:17 (NKJV) 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
