Running with Jesus 2015

Luke 11:15-16 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

                 It is not enough to be bound, but what is even more disturbing is this some in the groups surrounding Jesus failed to see the miracle and Glorify God. They failed to see and get excited for this poor man who had been dumb, for who knows how long, and could now speak!  I just want to say Duhhh!!

                Come on church, we have people who were blind that now see and we have people who were dumb but now speak and share Christ. All we can do is complain! If you can't get excited when a soul is born again or a brother is restored you better get a spiritual check up. You are just like these religious people who didn't see the miracles. God is working around us all the time! They were always focused on finding a fault with something! We are the most self-centered group of believers today in the history of the church! Can we not wake up and join God in what He is doing! See the miracles not what is making you unhappy! 

                When people are moving toward God move with them! Rejoice when people get free and come back to him don't knock them!  

                When I first read this all I focused on was the man was bound up and couldn't speak was set fee then I noticed the reaction to the miracle and how they taunted Jesus. So many times we just focus on one thing when we read a text! If I were to say tell me about Zaccheaus and you would say a wee little man, and that is not the meat of the message! 

                  Don't be deceived by thinking Satan can't use you! He can use us to bring discouragement to a lost man and to others running and working with Jesus! So watch looking down on others who return to Christ and discouraging runners! Get in the race and run where Jesus is working! 

Father, help us help hurting souls so they can have a wonderful story to tell to others who are lost and help us encourage workers.

Be careful little eyes tomorrow!
