“Who is this?” they said to each other. “Even the wind and the sea do what He says!” (Mark 4:41).
Do we know this Jesus? Does this storm-calming Jesus disappear when we close our Bibles?
At times, I think I expect much more from my wife than I do from Jesus. But my wife can’t command storms and seas....
We expect far too little from Jesus.
We need to reconcile our creeds with our attitudes, decisions, and general approach to life.
A Jesus of theory or story hour is a sentimental comfort. The real Jesus commands the wind and seas and is a force to be reckoned with.
@KarlGessler So true! (And Jesus later sent out also 70 disciples with the exact same task!)
The disciples had not only been given authority, they had also seen Jesus do these things - and then Jesus sent them out to do the same. We don't see anyone do these things in our traditional churches today. When will we start obeying Jesus' words, also in this matter? Where are the leaders and believers who will obey Jesus words (not only believe them, but act!), and by doing so give an example to others to do the same? Because we all newborn believers have the same Holy Spirit as Jesus had (not more, not less)!

Jesus called the twelve, and began to send them out in pairs, giving them authority over unclean spirits. Mark 6:7
How do you imagine this exchange took place?
How did the disciples “receive”
authority?
Did Jesus hand them a badge or give then papers with proof authorization?
How did authority come to rest on the disciples?
I think that the only logical answer is that it came through the mere words of Jesus. The statement “I grant you authority” from someone who possess authority must be enough.
The Gospels state that Jesus granted His disciples authority for healing sickness and casting our demons several times. Why? Because disciples for generations to come would need to know that they are granted authority for doing the works of Jesus.
I am a disciple.
I have authority.
Jesus said so.
It’s that simple.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9
@DevotionalTreasures Thank you! Fear of the Lord is something we need so bad today in the body of Christ! I totally agree with what you write. Kids need to grow up so that they understand the importance of respecting and obeying their father and mother. And as parents discipline their children, also God disciplines us so that we will understand his boundaries - and that's the eternal best for us! I've actually come to understand that when God disciplines me, that's something to be happy about, as he is seeing me worthy of the energy he puts in me, to form me to become more in the image of Christ. 🙌
I love this teaching about the Fear of the Lord, and what it truly means. I don't hear it in many churches nowadays, but it's just something I desire to have more of! This is the Father I love ❤🙏
@erdenpilger @faith20 That's the same desire the disciples had - they asked Jesus to increase their faith. (Luk. 17:5-10) Jesus answered by telling them about servants and their Master. The servants' task is to obey and serve the Master, do what he is supposed to do. Obeying Jesus is to have faith in him. Jesus also says that if we are being faithful in the small things he will give us much. So, let's obey him in the littlest things in our lives, and if he can trust us in that, then he will give us more, which means, our faith will grow stronger. 🙌
Let's seek God, read and obey his words and ask God, where does he want me to be faithful today? Is there sin in my life that I need to repent from?
Let's put God first in our lives, in everything we are and do! 💖
Blessings to you! 🙏 From Sari in Finland

Prophetic Word From over 100 years ago
William Booth
“The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”
@sinbach "When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?" Peter answered them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. For this promise belongs to you and your children, as well as to all those who are far away, whom the Lord our God may call to himself.” Acts. 3:37-39
@sinbach God called us like that, but thank God he won't leave us like that 🙌
@faith20 Thank you! What a powerful testimony!
I believe we are in a same kind of a situation and process today as Daniel was. Our rescuer is God and we will not bow for any other god (nor system)! Even if it means we will end up losing our earthly life. It can actually save the soul of other's (Dan. 3:28-33).
"Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled, but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear." (1. Pet. 3:14-15).
A really good question.

Just an observation understanding that causation and correlation are not the same.
I spent xmas in a cabin with my parents and siblings.
Everyone got the rhona....well almost everyone.
I got it. two boys and wife got it (confirmed with test). My step-dad got it.
We are all v@xed. My shots were in October and my stepdad just had the booster last month and he was so bad that he was taken into surgery and is currently in the urgent care wing of the Ball Memorial Hospital.
My unv@xed mother is five years older than my step-dad and only had the sniffles. She was over it in a day. My unv@xed sister - yep, she did NOT get it at all.
So....on a personal level....the record in our family for those with the jab is less than underwhelming.

EARTHBOUND MINDSET
Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994)
We live too much in this world. We're earthbound. How many of us know someone who is eternity conscious? What America needs is somebody who will go through every church in the country and preach for a week on eternity: Preach one day on
the Judgment Seat of Christ. Preach one day on
the Judgment of believers. Preach one day on
the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Again, I've
told you before, I don't just want to go to heaven,
I want to go to…

this is Tammy- my sister Debbie went home to be with Jesus Today. she wanted to be healed but her body gave out due to covid and her doctors refused to let her take the ivermectin that was prescribed for her. I pray tonight she is wrapped in the arms of Jesus! this is Debbie's account and I know she appreciated all your prayers! please keep my family in prayer as this is a devastating loss - we are saddened to lose her - but know she's with God!

@sinbach sounds interesting! 👍 I've read his book about how he became a believer, but that was many years ago. Liked it.
