Luke 4:31-44

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit
31 Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 “Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.

36 All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.

Jesus Heals Many
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.

40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.

42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

March 28th Reschedule your life

“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” MATTHEW 6:6
With the eyes of our heart and with our spirit, we can cultivate our beholding of the Lord with songs, with the Word, and with prayer. This is the way to enjoy and behold the glory of the Lord passing before our spiritual vision. We need to nurture this kind of spiritual exercise. We have our home life, our family life, our school life, and our work life. We meet people, we talk to people, we are occupied daily with many things. Although we have this kind of life outwardly, we also need to preserve a secret life in a private room with the door shut, spending time with the Lord. Here there is no one else but ourself and the Lord. Here we can behold His glory by praying, by singing, and by reading the Word. Spending time with the Lord is revolutionary in our experience. We may think our need is a little more gritting of our teeth to say, “Lord, this time I am going to make it through as a victorious believer.” This kind of resolution, no matter how sincere, is nothing but our own energy and effort. Actually, we only need one thing — time with the Lord in a private place. Take the initiative and reschedule your life to go along with that still small voice within you that is prodding you to spend time with the Lord. And then just position your heart before the glory of the Lord. Simply expose yourself to this transforming element. Do not worry about what is not yet under His feet (Heb. 2:8-9). We see Jesus! Just let the Lord’s Person and work pass before your eyes. You can behold Him because you are in the cleft of the rock, in the crucified One. You are under the precious blood. So you and I can enjoy all that the Lord is. Then we will be transformed into the same image from glory to glory (2 Cor. 3:18).
Find a hymnal and sing, making melody in your heart to the Lord. Take the verses of the Bible and pray with them. At other times just open yourself to the Lord and tell Him you love Him. Get acquainted with the blood of the Lamb in the book of Revelation and how everyone is singing about it in the heavens (Rev. 5:9-12; 7:9- 14; 12:10-11; 14:2-4). Join in with the heavens and sing about His precious blood. Speak to the Lord about His wonderful Person and work. Your beholding and enjoying of Him in this kind of way will become your transformation. Oh, may the Lord give us such a personal, secret, and intimate life with Him. Then we will be solid, then we will grow, then the devil will be defeated, then we will discover that the Lord will take us up into His own intercessory life to carry out His purpose and His plan. All of this issues from our spending time daily with the Lord and letting the glory of His Person and work pass before us.
