DEMONS… EVERYONE LIKES A GOOD DEMON STORY… OH I HAVE A FEW GOOD ONES… BUT HOW DO YOU HANDLE DEMONS… HEY GARTH IS THIS WHERE WE ARE GOING TODAY?…. NOPE NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Part uno
Luke 11:
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. 15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.” 16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.
17 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.
23 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”
28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Jesus has got them in the palm of his hand.
He is performing miracles. He casts out a demon and a possessed man is free and talking.
We are talking about demon possession in this chapter. Christ is revealing some amazing insights to what happens when someone becomes demon possessed and what happens when you cast a demon out of someone. People are riveted to every word. They are for sure definitely thinking of people they know who have been possessed and set free and then they become worse…
AND WITH THAT A WOMAN CRIES OUT…
“Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”
28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.
Invited to a meal by a friend who is raving about their cooking skills. After 45 minutes of waiting he brings out whip cream…
Where is the steak? Asparagus, red potatoes, duck, lamb, veal, little wax beans and peppers, hey even a frozen pizza…
BUT YOU ALL EXCITED ABOUT WHIP CREAM.
WHIP CREAM?
Not a meal… but whip cream.
“Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”
28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.
LUKE 10:18 I SAW SATAN FALL LIKE LIGHTENING…
BETTER TO HAVE YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
Blessed are those who “know how to obey Gods word and keep this from happening”.
*This is a mild and loving rebuke.
There is a business man who was raised in a Christian home. He loves God and has a soft spot for Church and worship. He raised his kids to love God and go to church and he even has a daughter in missions. Now in his late 50’s he still wonders why he has never felt like he has true depth in his walk. He still occasionally looks at porn, still has some hard times with his attitude and being the husband and father he knows he should be, has a temper and still sarcastic. and has felt left behind by many of his friends who now seem to be deeper in their walk with Christ.
