Luke 9:37-48
TOPIC:
AUTHORITY AND POWER TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE
We read about the
mountain top experience of the disciples with the Lord Jesus yesterday. But we
cannot remain on the glorious mountain top for ever.
There are battles to be
fought in the valleys with the enemy. Satan always comes to steal, kill and
destroy. The first thing he steals is our happiness and if, possible, our joy.
There is no way this
man with his only son in such a situation could be happy. Only the joy of the
Lord would sustain him.
We are sometimes
paralysed, powerless and suffer unnecessarily for lack of faith and prayer. God
expects those who know Him to live by faith. The just shall live by faith!
We also need to be
prayerful always and fast as led by the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus has given
us the authority in His name and the power of the Holy Spirit to cast out
demons and set the captives free.
As we do these, we
should avoid the terrible sin of self and the pride of life, which were at work
in the disciples.
QUESTION:
Are
you setting the captives free from bondage to sinful flesh and Satan?
PRAYER:
Lord,
thank You for the authority and please fill me with the power of the Holy
Spirit to set the captives free from sinful flesh and Satan, in Jesus name.
Amen.
Remain
Blessed
