James 2:19 - Even the demons believe



Praise the Lord


You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder


Halloween is a season where many scary things are showcased. Our fears are exploited as the images of frightful creatures and horror movies come to the front. Evil is depicted as a powerful and unstoppable force. But the Scripture paints a different picture: all of hell trembles before the living God. Not only did Jesus defeat ALL the power of fear at the cross, he gave that same victory to us! To stand in the power of Jesus name is the opportunity given to every believer. Even demons shudder before those who know this!

Luke 4:33-36 - In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit



Praise the Lord


In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, “Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are-the Holy One of God!” “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!”



The Scripture acknowledges a dimension of demons and angels. This is more than a superstition of the ancient world; this is a biblical reality. Notice what happens when these worlds collide: demons screaming while Jesus quietly but sternly casting them out. Even though evil may have a louder voice, it is only the sound of desperation. The authority that Jesus has doesn’t need a lot of fanfare; it only needs someone who is willing to speak. God’s whisper is greater than all of hell’s cries.

Psalm 8:3-4 – what is man that you are mindful of him



  
 

Praise The Lord
 
 
 
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
 
 
 
 
 
When we look at the vastness of God’s creation, the thought that God would actually be mindful of us in the midst of it seems egocentric! Yet this is the revelation of the God of the Bible. It’s not that we have created a God in our image, but God has created us in His image. The Bible describes that image as a little lower than the angels! The majesty of God’s universe takes nothing away from His care for us. Do you feel insignificant in your environment? Remember that God cares for you! When you understand the mission of God through Jesus Christ to redeem His creation, how can you come to any other conclusion?

Exodus 5:17 – Pharaoh said, “Lazy, that’s what you are-lazy!



 

Praise The Lord
 
 
 
After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel
 
 
 
 
 
And so the book of Judges chronicles a people who turned their hearts from God, came under judgment, cried out to God, and were delivered. The only problem is that this pattern happened over and over again. One of the issues was that generations grew up who were not taught the ways of God. Whether as a parent or a leader in the church, are we empowering the next generation with God’s words and deeds, or are we protecting our achievements for our own satisfaction? The book of Judges stands as witness and a warning of what happens when the current generation does not take the time or energy to invest into the next generation.
