1) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 7: When Jesus finishes these sayings, the effect is that

the crowds are astounded at his way of teaching, for he is teaching

them as a person having authority, and not as their scribes.

 

- Imagine you were there listening to Jesus!

 

- Knowledge vs Ignorance

2) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 8: A scribe wants to follow Jesus wherever he goes

but Jesus warns him the Son of man has nowhere to lay

down his head.

 

- Apparently this one wants to follow Jesus but he is used

to a certain standard of living and it doesn’t work with Jesus.

 

- Jesus knows what we think when we think!

 

- He follows his Father’s interests not his that’s why he is

going to build a world for us not destroy the Earth and there

will be no seats for those who are destroying it: remember

the Israelites: they didn’t get into the promised land,

they stayed at the door!

3) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 9:

 

- Jesus forgives a paralytic’s sins!

 

- The scribes think Jesus blasphemes!

 

- Knowing what they think, he cures the paralytic

to show them he can also forgives people’s sins!

 

- and the crowds are struck with fear and they

glorify God!

 

- Religious leaders = superficial? Liars? They

have seen or heard about Jesus’ miracles and

they know what he does and who he is?

4) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 9: The Pharisees don’t understand

why Jesus eats with tax collectors and sinners!

 

- Apparently they can’t understand he has come

to help sinners to recover!

 

- Really strange people!

 

- The question is: what are they good to?

Nothing!

 

- They are only leeches!

 

- They don’t help anybody!

 

- On the contrary!

 

- Jesus wants people to listen carefully to his

message and be saved, religious leaders do

business and want people to listen to them

to serve their own interests and go to destruction

exactly as it happened each time when Jerusalem

was destroyed!

6) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 9:27-30

 

- We see two blind men, they know who Jesus is

and what he can do and they don’t want to miss

the opportunity so they keep searching him and

he asks them a question and THEIR EYES RECEIVE

SIGHT like a gift but they had to struggle to get it!

Do we really strive to take the opportunity Jesus

gives us before it is too late? If we want Jesus to

come to us, we have to sincerely come to him and

look for him! It is a personal choice and it is our

decision, not others! Jesus warned the inhabitants

of Jerusalem and those who escaped were saved,

the others died or were taken into slavery! It doesn’t

matter if people listen to their religious leaders or not,

they decided and they paid the price, that’s it!

7) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 9:32-34

 

- People bring him a speechless man possessed

of a demon!

 

 

- Jesus expels the demon!

 

- The speechless man speaks again!

 

- The crowds are amazed!

 

- As usual, the Pharisees oppose him!

 

- They call him the ruler of the demons!

 

- Can we say, on the one hand, GOOD SENSE from

NORMAL PEOPLE and, on the other hand,

BLINDNESS from RELIGIOUS LEADERS!

8) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 9: Jesus goes to different cities

and villages and teaching in their synagogues

and preaching the good news of the Kingdom

and curing people!

 

- Jesus is a good example of hard work for

God to follow, the religious leaders are not as they

are busy looking for their own interests!

9) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 9: Jesus feels pity for the crowds because

they are shepherdless then he says that the harvest

is great but with few workers so it is necessary to beg

the master of the harvest to send out workers into his

harvest!

 

- Jesus is clear: the religious leaders are good to nothing,

they leave the people ignorant!

 

- They must be taught!

 

- Searching is also important!

 

- It is essential to look for God!

 

- We can’t stay passive and say: I didn’t know!

10) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Matthew 10:

 

- Jesus tells his disciples that he is sending them

as sheep among wolves!

 

- So he wants them to be cautious as serpents but

innocent as doves!

 

- He warns them that men will hand them over to

local courts and will scourge them in their synagogues!

 

- Think about who are the WOLVES!

 

-And Jesus tells us to be careful about them because

once again they have their own interests which are not ours!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
