Power Unlimited
Jesus healed many people that had different kinds of
sicknesses. Jesus also forced many demons to leave people.
But Jesus would not allow the demons to speak, because the
demons knew who he was.
-- Mark 1:34 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' power was not limited. As the Son of God, he had power over all
different kinds of diseases and he had power over all different kinds
of demons. The demons knew who Jesus was so Jesus wouldn't let them
speak. He would reveal his identity, not his enemies. He would define
what it meant to be the Christ, the Son of God, not Satan and his
demonic hordes. So Jesus healed diseases and he ordered demons around
and refused to let them have any kind of power. His power could not,
and cannot, be limited by his opposition. He has the power.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Loving and righteous Father, it is comforting for me to know that Jesus
has power over all demonic power. I ask now that he use that power in
several people about whom I am concerned. I fear that they have
succumbed to temptation and have made themselves vulnerable to the
influence of the evil one because of their association with evil
people, harmfully addictive chemicals, out of control greed, or
uncontrollable lust. Father, I want to pray for several of these folks
by name ... Bless them and empower them. I ask this in the mighty name
of Jesus Christ, your Son and my Savior. Amen.

VELVET ELVIS: REPAINTING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, by Rob Bell
In this provocative, hopeful book, Bell asks what the church might look
like if today's believers fully embraced "the way" of love, peace,
sharing possessions, compassion, risk, forgiveness, and harmony.
