Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-14

(Luke 4:41 NKJV)  And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

Jesus shows us by example what we are to do to demons. He does not let them speak!

He doesn’t care that they know who He is… they are not to be heard. In other words, shut them up! How do we do this? Through the authority that Christ gave us as His children!

If we have Christ in us, meaning we have received Him as our Lord and Savior, Christ’s authority lives in us!

(Luke 10:19 NKJV)  “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Don’t be afraid to shut the demons up, cast them out, or rebuke them!

They have to listen, not to us, but the authority that lives in us through the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-4-13

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

One morning as we were preparing for the day, we received a phone call from a mother of a young lady. The young lady was 15 yrs. old. Her mother explained her daughter’s condition to us.

Her daughter was acting like a little girl, crawling around the house and saying things like Mama, Dada. In the same breath, she would say the alphabet backwards, in Spanish. The girl had almost no knowledge of the Spanish language.

She was having very violent outbursts toward her parents, telling them that she hated them and trying to physically hurt them.

They didn’t know what to do with her, so they took her to the hospital. The hospital admitted her to the Psych ward. At the Psych ward, she would throw herself off the bed onto a hard floor, trying to kill the baby that was growing inside of her.

When we received the call, we knew immediately that we needed to go to her. Before going, we knew we needed to prepare ourselves for what was about to take place that evening. We entered into a fast and prayed that God would go before us.

Later that evening, as we arrived, we saw this 15 yr. old girl in a chair with a tray across her lap, to lock her in place. She was slouched way down. She had black circles under her eyes and she was cold to the touch. She looked up at us, and in a very slow, weak voice, with every little bit of energy she had in her, she sighed, help me.

We took her into a private room and began to pray with her. As she looked at us, the pupils in her eyes went from tiny to huge. We knew at that point what we were dealing with as God gave us wisdom.

After praying and casting the demonic spirits out of her, she prayed the prayer of Salvation. This 15 yr. old girl was saved at that moment.

Her countenance immediately began to change and a peace came over the room. It wasn’t long before they released her from the hospital.

Today that young lady is a mother of a beautiful teenage boy and she works with the elderly as a Certified Nursing Assistant!

Praise be to God Almighty. He is Good!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-12

(John 14:12 NKJV)  “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

I know we have touched on this subject recently, but I want to hit it again because it’s so very critical to the life of the church.

Jesus spoke these words. He proclaimed very plainly, using no symbolism whatsoever, that we, His followers and believers, would do greater works than He did. He went on to say, a few verses later, that the Father would be sending the Holy Spirit, the helper, who would abide with us forever.

Jesus never, ever told us that we would do miracles for a short time and then that power would run out when the last apostle died. He never intended for His church to be duped into believing that healing and deliverance were only for specific people to perform during a specific era.

In the verse above He plainly stated that “he who believes in Me” will do greater works then He did.

We are meant to live a life that displays the power of God through the Holy Spirit. We need the power of the Holy Spirit. Anything less is just knowledge and intellectualism. Intellect can never fight spiritual battles, cast out demons or heal a sick body.

I implore you today to believe God’s word in its full power, not just part of it! It’s essential for us to take God at His word and live a life of power and spiritual understanding if we are to be effective in this world.

Seek God and ask Him to give you understanding so you can walk in the power He intended for us to have.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-12-11

(Acts 8:7-8 NKJV)  For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. {8} And there was great joy in that city.

Wherever the spirit of God is present, great things happen.

Jesus walked the earth, performing miracles and showing people the love of God.

After Jesus had left the earth, His disciples picked up where He had left off, performing the same miracles, healings and deliverances.

God still moves like this today. Unfortunately, we don’t see it as often. But it’s not because God prefers to move less often. It’s more because man has pushed God out and replaced Him with traditions, rituals and rules.

The Holy Spirit and His gifts have been imitated, mocked, exploited and worse, to the point where very few people even believe that these things can happen any longer.

How the world could be changed if we would only get back to the basics of God and do away with the foolishness of religion.

I long to see God move again, see miracles happen on a regular basis and see demons cast out of people.

It can happen. We just have to want it badly enough.
