" God's kingdom has come upon you" Luke 11:14-23
Is Jesus the Master of your life?
With Jesus, there are no neutral parties.
We are either for Jesus or against him, for the kingdom of God or against it.
There are two kingdoms in opposition to one another - the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness under the rule of Satan.
If we disobey God’s word, we open the door to the power of sin and Satan in our lives.
If you want to live in freedom from sin and Satan, then your house - your life and all you possess - must be occupied by Jesus where he is enthroned as Lord and Saviour.
He spoke the same message to a modern mystic in similar words. “Don’t divide yourself into two – one part for you and the other part for me. I am most demanding. I want my children to be wholly mine at every moment. So don’t withhold a thing. Don’t take anything of yourselves away. You would steal from Me if you did, because everything is mine.” Gabrielle Bossi 20 April 1945
Is the Lord Jesus the Master of your home, heart, mind, and will?
Father, grant us patience in troubles, humility in comforts, constancy in temptations, and victory over all our spiritual foes, Through Christ our Lord.
Grant us sorrow for our sins, thankfulness for your benefits, fear of your judgment, love of your mercies, and mindfulness of your presence; now and for ever." (Prayer by John Cosin)
