The Jesus Mark Wants You to Know - 28 Days to Become More Intimate With JesusУзор

Day 5 - Mark 1:21-28

Confronting Demonic Forces.

Jesus taught in the Synagogue on the Sabbath, with authority. “With authority,” means to teach with confident expertise in a commanding manner.

Jesus had such certainty that what He was teaching about God’s Kingdom was pure truth, that it shook loose a demon hiding within a man at the synagogue. Demons are deceivers and when confronted with truth and authority, they will object and flee if told to do so.

The living word of God exposes the lies of this world and reveals the truth of who God is. The demonic world wants to protect itself by keeping you away from the truth. But when a follower of Jesus reads God’s word and meditates on it and lives it out, there is a God-given authority to confront and dispel the lies of the devil.

Do you believe you are spending enough time in God’s word to teach you, enlighten you and equip you to live out the truth? Are you surrendered to Jesus and living in the power of His Holy Spirit in you? If so, you can have the authority to deal with demonic forces.
