Death vs. Life

Today I remember the pain of 9-11. Evil men are the tool of satan and will stop at nothing to execute wickedness. This attack on American soil brought many to their knees for the first time in years. Why does it take a tragedy to awaken people to their need for God. Call on God today and he will answer. Seek him as Saviour of your soul not some heavenly "bell-hop" fulfilling your petty requests. God will, God does and God can save you from your sin and set you on the proper path.

9-11-2014      Mark 1:21-28

S.       21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

O.      Jesus teaches in Capernaum and cast out an unclean spirit.

A.      In every face to face conflict between Jesus and satan, satan always loses! The power of God never fails! I will put my trust in the Lord and stop being afraid of the devil. Through God I will overcome…….every time.

P.       Father; thank you for my victory today over satan and all his lies. Thank you for the cross and the empty tomb. Thank you for calling me out of darkness and into your wonderful light. Amen.
