The Heart of the Matter
We continue our journey into every word spoken by Jesus in the Gospels to help us all KNOW JESUS MORE NOW.
Today’s question: Was Jesus demon-possessed or Spirit-led? You be the judge:
They brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”
But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”
God Gives Good Gifts
We continue our journey into every word spoken by Jesus in the Gospels to help us all KNOW JESUS MORE NOW.
To me, there’s nothing more comforting than today’s words from Jesus:
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
(Matthew 7:7-11)

LOVE Power

To me, the freakiest part about being a Christian is that God — the creator of the universe — comes to live IN you. The Bible says:
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? (1 Corinthians 6:19)
Fill Up
I will ask the Father and He will give you another counselor to be with you forever. (John 14:16)
Yesterday we unveiled our official 2021 Spiritual Workout Plan to help us all train for the Big Race.
Today we’ve included a handy graphic suitable for framing, posting on your fridge, tattooing on your biceps or anything else that will help you shun spiritual flabbiness.
The first step? It all starts with the ♥ lit up by the flame in the center. Before we even think about moving a muscle, we need to plug into our power source: the Holy Spirit.
The Bible tells us to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). It’s the only way to live:

Yesterday we started a new series: JESUS ON …
