Good morning. If you really want to know what’s in a person, listen to their heart, for what’s in their heart will flow out their mouth. We can’t change what’s in a person’s heart only God can. We must check our hearts daily and ask God to purge and purify our hearts. Everything in us that’s like him we need to give it to him. We need to lay our hearts on the altar of God and let him search us. In this season many of us need spiritual heart surgery and it’s imperative that we go under God’s spiritual knife.

Luke 6:45
A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.

Good morning. According to the Bible we have been treating our enemies wrong. We’ve been hating them and talking about them. We’ve been seeking revenge and wishing death on them. All the while, we should be loving them and lending them what they need. If we really want to be Christ-like, we should start living the whole word and not just the parts we like. This passage of scripture is truly an attitude changer. It describes us in our sinful state and how the Lord loved us through it all.

Luke 6:35
“Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.

Good morning. One of the most challenging things to do in life, is to treat people with love and kindness when we know they are deliberately trying to ruin our lives. However, we must do it anyways and do it without complaining. If we think about it, at some point in our lives we’ve treated Jesus the same way. We despitefully used him. We’ve prayed Lord if you do this for me I’ll serve you; as soon as he did it, we forgot about him. We’ve cursed him. As soon as things didn’t go our way, we acted like Satan is our father and did things the world’s way. And, despite all of this, Jesus died for you and me. Despite all of this, Jesus said; I love you unconditionally. Therefore, we are without an excuse why we can’t do as the Lord commanded us to do; Love thy enemy.

Luke 6:27-28
“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.

Good morning. We don’t need to be worried about what other people are doing, especially when it comes to their spiritual growth. We all will have that moment in our lives when we don’t feel Jesus, hear Jesus or understand what he’s doing. That’s when our spiritual growth will shift and we begin to operate differently in the spirit. Until then, we need to take our eyes off people and keep them stayed on the Lord. In other words, we need to mind our own business.

Luke 5:33-35
One day some people said to Jesus, “John the Baptist’s disciples fast and pray regularly, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees. Why are your disciples always eating and drinking?” Jesus responded, “Do wedding guests fast while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.”

Good morning. Jesus knew who he was and he knew his purpose. He wasn’t too good to eat and hang with bad people. He knew he had the power of persuasion and that no one could turn him around. The problem with Christians is that we keep trying to evangelize people who have already accepted Christ. Jesus came for the lost and lowly. We keep going to the found and high-minded. If we really want to be like Jesus, we will go to the highways and hedges and tell lost people about the one and only true God that can save their sin sick souls. Let’s stop missing opportunities to tell a dying world about a Savior that can give them everlasting life.

Luke 5:30-32
But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained bitterly to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with such scum?”
Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.”

Good morning. As powerful as Jesus is, he never wanted fame or a pat on the back. He did what God sent him to do and then retreated to prayer. Most of the times, we get upset when no one acknowledges what we’ve accomplished and after many of our accomplishments, we look for people to celebrate us. Jesus teaches us that we should immediately get by ourselves and go into prayer after we’ve done such great things. We should began to thank God for using us, for, he could have chosen anyone else. We shouldn’t look for fame or for people to keep bragging on what we did.

Luke 5:15-16
But despite Jesus’ instructions, the report of his power spread even faster, and vast crowds came to hear him preach and to be healed of their diseases. But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.

Good morning. Many of us know our jobs like the back of our hand; we can do our jobs in our sleep. Nevertheless, we shouldn’t get so complacent in our jobs that when Jesus tells us to do something we feel won’t work, we’re reluctant to try it. We must always remember, the Lord knows everything. He created the jobs we have. He knows the inner workings, the outer workings, the side deals that go on and the shadiness that happens on our jobs. Therefore, when he says do something, just do it. God is not a God that steers us wrong and looks for us to fail. God is a God of order and only wants the best for us.

Luke 5:4-6
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.”
“Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.” And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear!

Good morning. People knew just how powerful Jesus was in the Bible. One word, one touch and people we’re healed. Demons even knew how powerful he was because he cast them out of people. However, he shut the demons mouth because he didn’t want people relying on a demons testimony. All to often, we let demons testify on our behalf when we should be the ones opening our mouths telling of the goodness of the Lord. It’s funny how we can tell everybody about our problems and murmur and complain, but when God delivers us we’re silent. We don’t want people to know what God is doing or has done in our lives. The Bible declares, let the redeemed of the Lord say so. If we don’t want to praise God publicly he has some rocks on standby.

Luke 4:40-41
As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one. Many were possessed by demons; and the demons came out at his command, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But because they knew he was the Messiah, he rebuked them and refused to let them speak.

Good morning. Every time Satan tempted Jesus, Jesus responded with the word of God. Jesus didn’t flirt with Satan. Jesus didn’t play games with Satan, he stood on the word. When Satan saw that Jesus wasn’t playing games with him he left him alone until he could get another opportunity to mess with him. Christians often like to say; what would Jesus do. Well, Jesus would and did resist the devil. We must take Jesus’ lead and resist the devil, not flirt with Satan, neither play games with him. Satan is not our friend, he’s our adversary. He has no good intentions for us, so stop acting like if you’re nice to him he will be nice to you. The only way we should respond to Satan is with the word of God. In order to do that, we have to know what the word says; therefore, study the word, hide the word in your hearts and when Satan comes stand firm on the word.

Luke 4:13
When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.

Good morning. We can tell people we’re saved and that we’ve changed, however, our lifestyles will tell the real story. How we conduct ourselves when don’t have our masks on will tell the real story. Always remember, God can replace us at anytime. We can’t go around faking it until we make it; that’s a lie from the pit of hell. That’s an excuse to keep sinning and trying to justify our sin. Either live right or go to hell, it’s that simple. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

Luke 3:7-8
When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said, “You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee the coming wrath? Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.
