41) Looking for Jesus


Mark 3:


- Also, the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying: “He has Beelzebub, and he expels the demons by means of the ruler of the demons.” So after calling them to him, he spoke to them with illustrations: “How can Satan expel Satan? If a kingdom becomes divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand; and if a house becomes divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. Also, if Satan has risen up against himself and has become divided, he cannot stand but is coming to an end.


- We see Pharisees and scribes in front of Jesus!

 

- Many men against one!


- And they are supposed to know what they are talking about!


- They went to religious school!


- And when we hear their poor arguments, they have no shame!


- And Jesus takes time to teach them and show their lack of arguments!


- He shows a lot of patience to these stupid men!


- When we say things, we need a minimum of arguments!


- We need to think about what we say!


- If we don’t have arguments, it is better to say nothing!


- Making mistakes is not a problem!


- But we need to think a minimum!


- And not repeat what others say!

42) Looking for Jesus


Mark 3:


- In fact, no one who enters the house of a strong man is able to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Only then can he plunder his house. Truly I say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak. But whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”He said this because they were saying: “He has an unclean spirit.”


- We have many examples in the Bible of people who were condemned by God!


- The Bible tells us about the Israelites and the Jews!


- They had God’s favor!

 

- They took advantage of God patience!


- And they lost everything!


- And it happened many times!


- So we should be careful when we act!


- We shouldn’t let others tell us what to do but be sure it is right or wrong!


- We have the Bible and we can check many things!


- We can ask God to help us to really understand his will and his word by praying sincerely to him!


- We can keep praying to God to express to him our deep feelings, our troubles, our joys, all our thoughts!

43) Looking for Jesus


Mark 3:


- Now his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. As there was a crowd sitting around him, they said to him: “Look! Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you.” But he replied to them: “Who are my mother and my brothers?” Then he looked at those sitting around him in a circle and said: “See, my mother and my brothers!Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother.”


- Jesus makes it clear!


- He has a human family!


- But his mission was more important!


- He was on earth to accomplish God’s will!


- Thus he was concentrating on teaching people and help them become his disciples and get access to eternal life!


- And he trained the apostles and his disciples to do the same!


- There was nothing more important!


- We must not forget it!

44) Looking for Jesus


Mark 4:


- Again he began teaching beside the sea, and a very large crowd gathered near him. So he went aboard a boat and sat in it away from the shore, but the whole crowd was next to the sea, along the shore.


- Jesus knows how to adapt to the situation!


- He finds the best way so the very large crowd can listen to him!


- And it is always so!


- It reminds me that after creation, God and Jesus have kept working!


- And they keep working to prepare what comes next!


- And apparently there is a lot to do when we see what men have done with the earth!


- When we read the first part of the Bible, we see how God organizes everything for the Israelites!


- We can imagine that when Jesus comes back to put an end to this Modern world, everything will be well organized to put everything on track!


- it will be refreshing compared to the poor organization of man!

Mark 4


- And he began to teach them many things with illustrations, and while he was teaching, he said to them:“Listen. Look! The sower went out to sow. As he was sowing, some seeds fell alongside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. Others fell on rocky ground where there was not much soil, and they immediately sprang up because the soil was not deep. But when the sun rose, they were scorched, and they withered because they had no roots. Other seeds fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them, and they yielded no fruit. But others fell on the fine soil, and growing up and increasing, they began to yield fruit, and they were bearing 30, 60, and 100 times more.”


- Do you understand Jesus!


- It is not possible to stay on your chair!


- Everybody must do his part!


- Everybody must speak and tell and teach about God’s word!


- Otherwise Jesus will say I don’t know you!


- Go away from me!


- And it is not necessary to be a super teacher!


- Just participate and do the best we can!

- Thus we will improve our abilities!

Mark 4


- Then he added: “Let the one who has ears listen, listen. Now when he was alone, those around him with the Twelve began questioning him about the illustrations. He said to them: “To you the sacred secret of the Kingdom of God has been given, but to those outside all things are in illustrations, so that, though looking, they may look and still not see, and though hearing, they may hear and still not get the sense of it; nor will they ever turn back and receive forgiveness.”


- Do we really want to listen to God’s word!


- Or do we only take what we want?


- It is either everything or nothing!


- Do we ask God for help again and again?


- Do we really want to understand?


- Do we really want to turn back and receive forgiveness?


- Or do we only want to have a quiet life and close our eyes and ears?

Mark 4


- Further, he said to them: “You do not know this illustration, so how will you understand all the other illustrations?

- That’s the question!


- Do we really want to know?


- Or do we prefer to stay with what we have or what we have been told?


- For many, when they don’t they feel more secure!
 

- Thus they don’t have obligations!


- But today it is getting more and more dangerous!


- Because when Jesus comes, he will ask us if we really strive to know!


- And when we try to hide behind religious leaders who are not better than political leaders, it will mean big trouble!


- And there won't be any more possibilities!


- God takes time, he is patient because he wants people to make up their minds and repent!


- But when the time arrives, it will be too late!

Mark 4


- “The sower sows the word. These, then, are the ones alongside the road where the word is sown; but as soon as they have heard it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

 

- Do we still eat milk or solid food!


- God needs hard workers!


- The earth must be a paradise again!


- It implies a lot of work to turn what is today a trash can into a jewel it used to be!


- But we must look like God and Jesus!


- They don’t need people who are selfish!


- They need people who are active and ready to help!


- They need real human beings with brains and hearts!


- They don’t need artificial ones which look like machines!

 

- They need people who are spiritually alive, not dead!

Mark 4


- Likewise, these are the ones sown on rocky ground; as soon as they have heard the word, they accept it with joy. Yet they have no root in themselves, but they continue for a time; then as soon as tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, they are stumbled.


- They accept it with joy!


- But they have no roots!


- And they stumbled!


- It is like a thermometer of our faith!


- What is the degree of our faith?


- Is it getting half-hearted? Is it getting cold? Is it getting hot?


- There are only two ways!

    • 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!

    • 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.
