In Jesus’ ministry He preached, healed and cast out demons. And then He died  on the cross and come back to life after conquering sin and death.

Every time Jesus met someone His focus was their soul.

Mark 1:

³⁵ Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. ³⁶ Later Simon and the others went out to find him.³⁷ When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”

³⁸ But Jesus replied, “We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too. That is why I came.” ³⁹ So he traveled throughout the region of Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and casting out demons.

There is a great spiritual battle that wages on each day. As Christians we are the victors. We’re with Jesus so we win. The enemy and his demons know God’s power and are scared of him. We need to verbally acknowledge that reality everyday day by praying and speaking God’s powerful word.

Mark 1:

²¹ Jesus and his companions went to the town of Capernaum. When the Sabbath day came, he went into the synagogue and began to teach. ²² The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real authority—quite unlike the teachers of religious law.

²³ Suddenly, a man in the synagogue who was possessed by an evil^[a] spirit cried out, ²⁴ “Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

²⁵ But Jesus reprimanded him. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” he ordered. ²⁶ At that, the evil spirit screamed, threw the man into a convulsion, and then came out of him.

²⁷ Amazement gripped the audience, and they began to discuss what had happened. “What sort of new teaching is this?” they asked excitedly. “It has such authority! Even evil spirits obey his orders!” ²⁸ The news about Jesus spread quickly throughout the entire region of Galilee.

If you’re a Christian, you have the backing of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. When He died on the cross and then came to life after death, He conquered death, sin and our enemy the devil.

In that power today, we must go and tell others the Gospel of God’s unending love.

Recently, I thought of a new goal for myself. I want to say a Bible verse each day to someone at work. God’s Word has power. So, I pray for an appointment from God that I could speak His love into another persons life.

God Is good. Follow Him. Seek Him always. Respect Him. Trust Him.

David wrote Psalm 34. He was a warrior of warriors. He had great inner strength. He went to God always. And God answered.

Psalm 34:

God spoke and it all began.

Psalm 33:

The Bible clearly instructs us to follow God and reject the luring wrongs this world has to offer! David wrote about it.

Psalm 32:

I believe the words I speak as a Christian are impactful. I try everyday to say positive words of blessings for those in my life. I pray God’s Word every morning for my loved ones.

I read, towards the end of the Gospel of Matthew, that Jesus was put on trial and the high priest of the Jewish temple would determine the verdict of guilt or innocence of a crime. He asked Jesus if He was the Messiah to the Jews, the Son of God. Jesus replied “You have said it.” These Words stand out to me. Why did Jesus say that to this man of importance in the Jewish community? I do not exactly know. The man was definitely in a powerful position. The Jews trusted him. But he was not of God because he accused Jesus of blasphemy against God. But Jesus gave the priest’s words power, I suppose, when He said…You have said it. Jesus loved the high priest like all other people and even though the priest didn’t believe it in his heart, the mere saying of You are the Messiah, the Son of God was truth. But a few verses later, the priest clearly rejects Jesus and accused Him of blasphemy. Was Jesus encouraging the high priest toward the purest truth that Jesus is God’s Son, hoping, in front of the crowd, that he would accept such truth?

Matthew 26:

⁶² Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?” ⁶³ But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I demand in the name of the living God—tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

⁶⁴ Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand^[a] and coming on the clouds of heaven.”^[b]

⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What is your verdict?”

“Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!”

⁶⁷ Then they began to spit in Jesus’ face and beat him with their fists. And some slapped him, ⁶⁸ jeering, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you that time?”

David realized he had wrongs in his life in Psalm 32. They were sins and he admitted them to God and to himself.

Everyday when we admit and not harbor wrongs in our hearts we become better, stronger and our souls are healed. The important attribute of humbleness toward God then rules our life and we yield to the great plans He had prepared for us…even before the earth existed!

Psalm 32:

One day Jesus will sit on His throne for all to  see.

Matthew 25:

³¹ “But when the Son of Man^[a] comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne.³² All the nations^[b] will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.

³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. ³⁶ I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

³⁷ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? ³⁹ When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

⁴⁰ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,^[c]you were doing it to me!’

⁴¹ “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.^{[d] 42} For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. ⁴³ I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

⁴⁴ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’

⁴⁵ “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’

⁴⁶ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

Wisdom is worth more than precious gems. Ask God and He will give you liberal amounts of it. (James 1:5)

Proverbs 8:

Listen as Wisdom calls out!
    Hear as understanding raises her voice!
² On the hilltop along the road,
    she takes her stand at the crossroads.
³ By the gates at the entrance to the town,
    on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
⁴ “I call to you, to all of you!
    I raise my voice to all people.
⁵ You simple people, use good judgment.
    You foolish people, show some understanding.
⁶ Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you.
    Everything I say is right,
⁷ for I speak the truth
    and detest every kind of deception.
⁸ My advice is wholesome.
    There is nothing devious or crooked in it.
⁹ My words are plain to anyone with understanding,
    clear to those with knowledge.
¹⁰ Choose my instruction rather than silver,
    and knowledge rather than pure gold.
¹¹ For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
    Nothing you desire can compare with it.
