Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.980 line:15%
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:16.100 line:15%
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.380 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.720 line:15%
We keep it simple, but dive deep,
8
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:27.840 line:15%
revealing a truth that strengthens us, a love
9
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:32.240 line:15%
that emboldens, and a mission
that touches the world.
10
00:00:34.660 --> 00:00:36.060 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
11
00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:40.140 line:15%
Welcome to today's program.
12
00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.260 line:15%
My name is Rick Renner and
I have been waiting for you.
13
00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:46.000 line:15%
And today we're going
to return to our series,
14
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.540 line:15%
which is called Miracles in Luke.
15
00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:49.760 line:15%
And we're specifically going
16
00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:53.640 line:15%
to see the moment when Jesus
delivered a man's son from a
17
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.320 line:15%
violent spirit.
18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.320 line:15%
It is amazing what we're going
19
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.320 line:15%
to learn today in the scriptures.
20
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.660 line:15%
But this whole series is
called Miracles in Luke.
21
00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:04.460 line:15%
He comes with a wonderful study guide.
22
00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:06.840 line:15%
Everything in the series
is in the study guide
23
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:07.920 line:15%
because I want you to be able
24
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.020 line:15%
to read the material while you're seeing
25
00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:11.860 line:15%
or hearing the series.
26
00:01:11.860 --> 00:01:15.420 line:15%
And I'm excited to tell
you again about my book,
27
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:18.100 line:15%
which is called The
Miracles of Jesus Christ.
28
00:01:18.100 --> 00:01:21.740 line:15%
The subtitle says an
eye-opening examination,
29
00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:24.060 line:15%
and that is really what it is.
30
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:28.060 line:15%
It is an eye-opening examination of every miracle healing
31
00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:30.540 line:15%
and demonic encounter in the gospels
32
00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:32.000 line:15%
and in the Book of Acts.
33
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.620 line:15%
I invested thousands of hours
of study into this book, first
34
00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:37.260 line:15%
of all, because I wanted
35
00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:39.101 line:15%
to understand the miracles of Jesus.
36
00:01:39.101 --> 00:01:41.421 line:15%
And secondly, because I wanted to be able
37
00:01:41.421 --> 00:01:43.901 line:15%
to lay this on the table in front of you
38
00:01:43.901 --> 00:01:46.161 line:15%
so you could just pull
your chair up to the table
39
00:01:46.161 --> 00:01:48.201 line:15%
and dive in, read,
40
00:01:48.201 --> 00:01:50.821 line:15%
and really come to know
the miraculous ministry
41
00:01:50.821 --> 00:01:54.201 line:15%
of Jesus better than you've
ever known it before.
42
00:01:54.201 --> 00:01:56.681 line:15%
But if you want to know
how to get these resources,
43
00:01:56.681 --> 00:01:59.901 line:15%
please just go online or give us a call.
44
00:01:59.901 --> 00:02:02.121 line:15%
And when you reach out to us, let us know
45
00:02:02.121 --> 00:02:03.401 line:15%
how to pray for you.
46
00:02:03.401 --> 00:02:05.121 line:15%
We're waiting to pray for you.
47
00:02:05.121 --> 00:02:09.761 line:15%
So please call the number on the screen or send us an email.
48
00:02:09.761 --> 00:02:11.341 line:15%
And as soon as we hear from you, we're going
49
00:02:11.341 --> 00:02:14.741 line:15%
to release our faith and
Jesus is going to really do
50
00:02:14.741 --> 00:02:17.181 line:15%
what needs to be done in your life.
51
00:02:17.181 --> 00:02:19.441 line:15%
But again, I want to say thank
you for being with me today,
52
00:02:19.441 --> 00:02:21.401 line:15%
and I want to begin today with prayer.
53
00:02:21.401 --> 00:02:24.921 line:15%
Father, we thank you for the
ministry of the Holy Spirit
54
00:02:24.921 --> 00:02:29.061 line:15%
who reveals to us Jesus and
reveals to us the word of God.
55
00:02:29.061 --> 00:02:30.481 line:15%
And Holy Spirit today, we ask you
56
00:02:30.481 --> 00:02:32.681 line:15%
to take us into the scriptures
57
00:02:32.681 --> 00:02:37.181 line:15%
as we look at this moment when
Jesus delivered a man's son
58
00:02:37.181 --> 00:02:40.701 line:15%
from a violent spirit in Jesus' name,
59
00:02:40.701 --> 00:02:43.861 line:15%
Amen. Well, let's go to Luke 9
60
00:02:43.861 --> 00:02:47.301 line:15%
and we're going to begin in vs. 37-42.
61
00:02:47.301 --> 00:02:50.761 line:15%
And then we're going to go back and begin again in vs. 37.
62
00:02:50.761 --> 00:02:54.721 line:15%
But beginning Luke 9:37, the Bible says - And it came
63
00:02:54.721 --> 00:02:57.001 line:15%
to pass that on the next day,
64
00:02:57.001 --> 00:03:00.641 line:15%
when they were come down from
the hill, much people met him.
65
00:03:00.641 --> 00:03:05.641 line:15%
And behold, a man of the company cried out saying, Master,
66
00:03:05.781 --> 00:03:10.521 line:15%
I beseech thee, look upon my son for he is my only child.
67
00:03:10.521 --> 00:03:15.521 line:15%
And lo, a spirit taketh him and he suddenly cries out
68
00:03:15.761 --> 00:03:18.202 line:15%
and it tears him that he foameth again
69
00:03:18.202 --> 00:03:22.022 line:15%
and bruising him hardly departed from him.
70
00:03:22.022 --> 00:03:24.582 line:15%
And I besaught thy disciples to cast him out
71
00:03:24.582 --> 00:03:26.382 line:15%
and they could not.
72
00:03:26.382 --> 00:03:29.562 line:15%
And Jesus answering said - Oh faithless
73
00:03:29.562 --> 00:03:32.702 line:15%
and perverse generation, how long shall I be
74
00:03:32.702 --> 00:03:34.382 line:15%
with you and suffer you?
75
00:03:34.382 --> 00:03:36.302 line:15%
Bring thy son hither.
76
00:03:36.302 --> 00:03:39.862 line:15%
And as he was yet a coming,
the devil threw him down
77
00:03:39.862 --> 00:03:43.842 line:15%
and tear him and Jesus
rebuked the unclean spirit
78
00:03:43.842 --> 00:03:48.442 line:15%
and healed the child and delivered him again to his father.
79
00:03:48.442 --> 00:03:50.222 line:15%
So that's all the verses.
80
00:03:50.222 --> 00:03:51.402 line:15%
But now we're going to go back
81
00:03:51.402 --> 00:03:54.602 line:15%
and begin again in verse 37, which says - And it came
82
00:03:54.602 --> 00:03:56.522 line:15%
to pass that on the next day
83
00:03:56.522 --> 00:03:57.982 line:15%
when they were come down from the hill,
84
00:03:57.982 --> 00:03:59.042 line:15%
much people meant him.
85
00:03:59.042 --> 00:04:02.022 line:15%
This is right after the Mount of Transfiguration.
86
00:04:02.022 --> 00:04:05.042 line:15%
And then we read in verse 30 - And behold, a man
87
00:04:05.042 --> 00:04:09.222 line:15%
of the company cried out saying - Master, I beseech thee,
88
00:04:09.222 --> 00:04:12.782 line:15%
look upon my son for he is mine only son.
89
00:04:12.782 --> 00:04:15.462 line:15%
And notice it begins with the word, behold.
90
00:04:15.462 --> 00:04:18.022 line:15%
The word behold is the Greek word, idou.
91
00:04:18.022 --> 00:04:22.362 line:15%
It carries a sense of amazement, bewilderment, or wonder.
92
00:04:22.362 --> 00:04:25.322 line:15%
It is the equivalent of the saying - Wow, a man
93
00:04:25.322 --> 00:04:27.502 line:15%
of the company cried out.
94
00:04:27.502 --> 00:04:30.962 line:15%
And in fact, this word behold
was really injected by Luke
95
00:04:30.962 --> 00:04:33.022 line:15%
to describe his own personal sentiments
96
00:04:33.022 --> 00:04:35.262 line:15%
as he's writing the story. It's the equivalent of saying
97
00:04:35.262 --> 00:04:36.942 line:15%
and wow, can you imagine it?
98
00:04:36.942 --> 00:04:41.062 line:15%
It is amazing what
happened next. Behold, wow.
99
00:04:41.062 --> 00:04:43.526 line:15%
A man of the company cried out.
100
00:04:43.526 --> 00:04:45.525 line:15%
And this word, cried out,
101
00:04:45.525 --> 00:04:47.850 line:15%
is a Greek word which really depicts
102
00:04:47.850 --> 00:04:49.622 line:15%
a distress call.
103
00:04:49.622 --> 00:04:52.262 line:15%
It is a prolonged and urgent cry.
104
00:04:52.262 --> 00:04:54.062 line:15%
The Father was making a loud
105
00:04:54.062 --> 00:04:56.803 line:15%
and intense appeal for Jesus to come
106
00:04:56.803 --> 00:05:00.063 line:15%
and to rescue his only child.
107
00:05:00.063 --> 00:05:02.503 line:15%
But I want you to understand, these words -
108
00:05:02.503 --> 00:05:06.423 line:15%
cried out - is really the Greek word for a distress call.
109
00:05:06.423 --> 00:05:08.763 line:15%
This father was sending
out a distress call.
110
00:05:08.763 --> 00:05:11.003 line:15%
My son is in trouble. He is my only son.
111
00:05:11.003 --> 00:05:14.963 line:15%
Jesus, I need you to come
and help me with my son.
112
00:05:14.963 --> 00:05:18.023 line:15%
And he specifically was saying,
113
00:05:18.023 --> 00:05:19.663 line:15%
and by the way, the Greek is legon.
114
00:05:19.663 --> 00:05:21.683 line:15%
It means he was saying and saying and saying
115
00:05:21.683 --> 00:05:25.483 line:15%
and saying, which means this father was literally pouring
116
00:05:25.483 --> 00:05:26.883 line:15%
out his heart.
117
00:05:26.883 --> 00:05:28.763 line:15%
It wasn't a one-time statement.
118
00:05:28.763 --> 00:05:31.043 line:15%
He was saying and saying and saying
119
00:05:31.043 --> 00:05:35.603 line:15%
and saying, Master, Master,
Master, I beseech you please.
120
00:05:35.603 --> 00:05:38.583 line:15%
I beseech you. Look upon my son
121
00:05:38.583 --> 00:05:41.803 line:15%
for he is mine only child.
122
00:05:41.803 --> 00:05:44.383 line:15%
Well, you can imagine
how distressing this was.
123
00:05:44.383 --> 00:05:46.683 line:15%
It was his only child.
124
00:05:46.683 --> 00:05:50.343 line:15%
And notice that in this verse, he calls Jesus - Master.
125
00:05:50.343 --> 00:05:53.043 line:15%
Now that's what it says in the King James Version,
126
00:05:53.043 --> 00:05:54.963 line:15%
but in Greek, it's a little different.
127
00:05:54.963 --> 00:05:57.443 line:15%
The Greek says, Didaskale.
128
00:05:57.443 --> 00:06:00.623 line:15%
And the word Didaskale is the Greek equivalent
129
00:06:00.623 --> 00:06:02.843 line:15%
for the word rabbi, which speaks
130
00:06:02.843 --> 00:06:06.023 line:15%
of a highly venerated teacher
scholar who has a wealth
131
00:06:06.023 --> 00:06:07.803 line:15%
of information and knowledge
132
00:06:07.803 --> 00:06:10.743 line:15%
and who carries great spiritual authority.
133
00:06:10.743 --> 00:06:14.203 line:15%
And by using this word to describe Jesus,
134
00:06:14.203 --> 00:06:17.303 line:15%
this man was acknowledging
not only Jesus' great
135
00:06:17.303 --> 00:06:20.043 line:15%
accumulation of revelation
and information,
136
00:06:20.043 --> 00:06:23.903 line:15%
but that Jesus carried
supreme spiritual power.
137
00:06:23.903 --> 00:06:27.683 line:15%
And that is what prompted
him to seek Jesus for help.
138
00:06:27.683 --> 00:06:30.063 line:15%
He was literally saying,
Master, teacher, the one
139
00:06:30.063 --> 00:06:31.663 line:15%
who has all knowledge, the one
140
00:06:31.663 --> 00:06:36.384 line:15%
who has supreme spiritual
authority, I beseech thee.
141
00:06:36.384 --> 00:06:38.544 line:15%
Well, what does that word, beseech, mean?
142
00:06:38.544 --> 00:06:40.524 line:15%
Well, actually, it's the Greek word deomai,
143
00:06:40.524 --> 00:06:42.404 line:15%
which means to implore.
144
00:06:42.404 --> 00:06:44.984 line:15%
It really means to tie
yourself to somebody
145
00:06:44.984 --> 00:06:48.904 line:15%
and to impassionately
plead or to pray earnestly.
146
00:06:48.904 --> 00:06:53.464 line:15%
So now we know graphically this Father has come to Jesus,
147
00:06:53.464 --> 00:06:57.904 line:15%
he's attached himself to Jesus, deomai, he is imploring,
148
00:06:57.904 --> 00:07:00.264 line:15%
he is earnestly pleading and pleading
149
00:07:00.264 --> 00:07:02.364 line:15%
and pleading as He's saying and saying
150
00:07:02.364 --> 00:07:04.424 line:15%
and saying, Master, I beseech you,
151
00:07:05.664 --> 00:07:07.884 line:15%
look upon my son.
152
00:07:07.884 --> 00:07:11.724 line:15%
The words, look upon, in Greek
is very, very interesting.
153
00:07:11.724 --> 00:07:15.124 line:15%
It's actually two words,
but only one is required
154
00:07:15.124 --> 00:07:18.384 line:15%
unless you're trying to make
a very dramatic statement.
155
00:07:18.384 --> 00:07:20.584 line:15%
The first word is the word epi blepo.
156
00:07:20.584 --> 00:07:24.184 line:15%
The word epi means upon.
The word blepo means I see.
157
00:07:24.184 --> 00:07:26.784 line:15%
When you compound the two
words together, it means
158
00:07:26.784 --> 00:07:31.004 line:15%
to look on and by itself, just by itself,
159
00:07:31.004 --> 00:07:34.664 line:15%
this already was enough to understand
160
00:07:34.664 --> 00:07:37.064 line:15%
that this father was wanting Jesus - blepo -
161
00:07:37.064 --> 00:07:39.704 line:15%
to look - epi - right up on his son.
162
00:07:40.644 --> 00:07:42.604 line:15%
But then in the Greek text,
163
00:07:42.604 --> 00:07:46.584 line:15%
a 2nd time it repeats the word epi, which is not required
164
00:07:46.584 --> 00:07:50.644 line:15%
unless you're really trying
to make a dramatic statement.
165
00:07:50.644 --> 00:07:55.024 line:15%
And the use of that 2nd epi amplifies the Father's plea
166
00:07:55.024 --> 00:07:59.064 line:15%
for Jesus' attention and intervention for his only child.
167
00:07:59.064 --> 00:08:01.264 line:15%
It's the equivalent of saying, Lord, look upon.
168
00:08:01.264 --> 00:08:04.024 line:15%
Lord, I want you to really look upon.
169
00:08:04.024 --> 00:08:08.624 line:15%
And then he says, My son,
for he is my only son.
170
00:08:09.584 --> 00:08:12.304 line:15%
Well, put yourself in the
position of this Father.
171
00:08:12.304 --> 00:08:14.224 line:15%
This is your only son,
172
00:08:14.224 --> 00:08:17.985 line:15%
and your son has a demon
spirit that is throwing him,
173
00:08:17.985 --> 00:08:21.745 line:15%
tearing him, crushing him, destroying him.
174
00:08:22.925 --> 00:08:24.325 line:15%
And now he comes to Jesus
175
00:08:24.325 --> 00:08:28.305 line:15%
and says, Master - Didaskale - the one with all authority,
176
00:08:28.305 --> 00:08:29.345 line:15%
I'm asking you to come.
177
00:08:30.225 --> 00:08:32.625 line:15%
He puts out a distress call.
178
00:08:32.625 --> 00:08:37.445 line:15%
I'm calling for you to rescue
my son and to look upon him
179
00:08:40.965 --> 00:08:42.785 line:15%
Jesus, he's my only son.
180
00:08:43.725 --> 00:08:48.725 line:15%
And then we read in verse 39,
And lo, a spirit taketh him,
181
00:08:48.965 --> 00:08:50.825 line:15%
and he suddenly crieth out
182
00:08:50.825 --> 00:08:53.265 line:15%
and it teareth him that he foameth again
183
00:08:53.265 --> 00:08:57.025 line:15%
and bruising him hardly, departeth from him. Here the father
184
00:08:57.025 --> 00:09:00.205 line:15%
now is describing his son's condition.
185
00:09:00.205 --> 00:09:02.665 line:15%
And when he says in lo - the word, lo, is again,
186
00:09:02.665 --> 00:09:04.625 line:15%
the Greek word idou, it means this is horrible,
187
00:09:04.625 --> 00:09:08.325 line:15%
this is amazing. Listen to this. The spirit.
188
00:09:08.325 --> 00:09:09.585 line:15%
And in Greek, it is singular,
189
00:09:09.585 --> 00:09:11.465 line:15%
which means this was not a multiplicity
190
00:09:11.465 --> 00:09:13.265 line:15%
of spirits in this young boy.
191
00:09:13.265 --> 00:09:16.205 line:15%
It was a singular spirit
that was causing all
192
00:09:16.205 --> 00:09:18.005 line:15%
of these problems.
193
00:09:18.005 --> 00:09:21.385 line:15%
And the father goes on to say, A spirit taketh him.
194
00:09:21.385 --> 00:09:24.285 line:15%
And the word taketh is a form of the Greek word, lambano,
195
00:09:24.285 --> 00:09:27.005 line:15%
which means to seize or to take.
196
00:09:27.005 --> 00:09:31.185 line:15%
And it illustrates how the spirit aggressively grabbed hold
197
00:09:31.185 --> 00:09:34.385 line:15%
of the boy and the father
says he did it suddenly.
198
00:09:35.565 --> 00:09:38.045 line:15%
And the word suddenly is a
Greek word which pictures an
199
00:09:38.045 --> 00:09:42.785 line:15%
action that happens abruptly
and without warning.
200
00:09:42.785 --> 00:09:44.565 line:15%
And he suddenly crieth out.
201
00:09:45.425 --> 00:09:49.005 line:15%
And this word crieth out is a form of the Greek word kradzo,
202
00:09:49.005 --> 00:09:53.266 line:15%
which depicts a scream
or a shriek in terror.
203
00:09:53.266 --> 00:09:56.626 line:15%
This lone spirit that was in this boy
204
00:09:56.626 --> 00:10:01.006 line:15%
occasionally assumed
control over his voice.
205
00:10:01.006 --> 00:10:04.886 line:15%
And with no forewarning,
the boy began screaming
206
00:10:04.886 --> 00:10:08.366 line:15%
as if his voice was a megaphone and he began shrieking
207
00:10:08.366 --> 00:10:11.206 line:15%
and crying and crying out.
208
00:10:11.206 --> 00:10:13.346 line:15%
Of course, this was very
alarming to the father
209
00:10:13.346 --> 00:10:16.266 line:15%
and to everyone else
who saw this take place.
210
00:10:16.266 --> 00:10:19.506 line:15%
And the Bible goes on to say, And it teareth him.
211
00:10:19.506 --> 00:10:21.246 line:15%
And here we have an example of how Luke,
212
00:10:21.246 --> 00:10:24.766 line:15%
who was a medical doctor, employed the use of medical terms
213
00:10:24.766 --> 00:10:26.166 line:15%
when he told these events.
214
00:10:26.166 --> 00:10:29.506 line:15%
This word teareth, is a Greek word which gives the image
215
00:10:29.506 --> 00:10:32.666 line:15%
of the boy being tossed into gasping
216
00:10:32.666 --> 00:10:35.146 line:15%
and convulsive spasms.
217
00:10:35.146 --> 00:10:38.506 line:15%
He was literally thrown into spasms.
218
00:10:38.506 --> 00:10:40.566 line:15%
You know, I want to pause just
for a moment and tell you.
219
00:10:42.346 --> 00:10:44.986 line:15%
I have a series which
I did, which is called
220
00:10:44.986 --> 00:10:47.346 line:15%
What the New Testament
Teaches About Demons.
221
00:10:47.346 --> 00:10:50.766 line:15%
And I would really advise you
to get ahold of that series.
222
00:10:50.766 --> 00:10:54.106 line:15%
That series walks you
through all of these events
223
00:10:54.106 --> 00:10:56.566 line:15%
in the gospels and in the Book of Acts
224
00:10:56.566 --> 00:11:00.886 line:15%
and examines scene by
scene how demons manifest,
225
00:11:00.886 --> 00:11:02.366 line:15%
what is the behavior of demons?
226
00:11:02.366 --> 00:11:04.466 line:15%
What kind of power do demons have?
227
00:11:04.466 --> 00:11:06.006 line:15%
What do demons do to people
228
00:11:06.006 --> 00:11:09.266 line:15%
and what kind of authority that we have over demon spirits?
229
00:11:09.266 --> 00:11:11.926 line:15%
And it would be very good for you to understand that.
230
00:11:11.926 --> 00:11:14.686 line:15%
We have power, we have authority, we have everything we need
231
00:11:14.686 --> 00:11:16.366 line:15%
to deal with demon spirits,
232
00:11:16.366 --> 00:11:20.466 line:15%
but it is imperative that we
know what the Bible teaches
233
00:11:20.466 --> 00:11:21.746 line:15%
about demon spirits.
234
00:11:21.746 --> 00:11:24.346 line:15%
So get that series, which is called
235
00:11:24.346 --> 00:11:27.326 line:15%
what the New Testament
teaches about demon spirits.
236
00:11:27.326 --> 00:11:32.027 line:15%
But let's go on. It then says that he foameth again
237
00:11:32.027 --> 00:11:35.567 line:15%
and bruising him hardly departed from him.
238
00:11:35.567 --> 00:11:39.127 line:15%
The word foameth, is the Greek word aphros.
239
00:11:39.127 --> 00:11:42.607 line:15%
And listen to what it describes - a frothy discharge
240
00:11:42.607 --> 00:11:44.407 line:15%
that gathers at the mouth.
241
00:11:45.347 --> 00:11:49.487 line:15%
The demon spirit would
literally seize this child,
242
00:11:49.487 --> 00:11:53.127 line:15%
then would seize his voice
to give a harrowing scream.
243
00:11:54.007 --> 00:11:57.667 line:15%
And then it would throw the
boy into violent convulsions
244
00:11:57.667 --> 00:12:01.427 line:15%
and would begin to produce
a filthy discharge from the
245
00:12:01.427 --> 00:12:03.207 line:15%
mouth of the boy.
246
00:12:03.207 --> 00:12:05.147 line:15%
The whole scene was disgusting.
247
00:12:05.147 --> 00:12:06.307 line:15%
It was revolting and
248
00:12:06.307 --> 00:12:09.847 line:15%
of course terribly
disturbing to the Father.
249
00:12:09.847 --> 00:12:14.847 line:15%
And he says in bruising him hardly, departeth from him.
250
00:12:14.867 --> 00:12:17.327 line:15%
What does that mean - bruising him hardly?
251
00:12:17.327 --> 00:12:20.467 line:15%
Well, it's actually a form of the Greek word suntribo.
252
00:12:20.467 --> 00:12:23.707 line:15%
And the word suntribo is a word which was technically used
253
00:12:23.707 --> 00:12:27.927 line:15%
to picture, listen to this, stomping grapes into wine
254
00:12:27.927 --> 00:12:31.707 line:15%
or grinding bones into dust: to pulverize.
255
00:12:32.647 --> 00:12:34.907 line:15%
And here it is used to describe the boy
256
00:12:34.907 --> 00:12:36.827 line:15%
as being left utterly depleted
257
00:12:36.827 --> 00:12:41.267 line:15%
and crushed by these repeated ordeals.
258
00:12:41.267 --> 00:12:44.267 line:15%
When this boy would go
through one of these episodes,
259
00:12:44.267 --> 00:12:45.767 line:15%
he would be pulverized.
260
00:12:45.767 --> 00:12:49.267 line:15%
He would be devastated and
crushed when it was finished
261
00:12:49.267 --> 00:12:51.267 line:15%
and the spirit left him.
262
00:12:51.267 --> 00:12:54.127 line:15%
And then we read in Luke 9:40 -
263
00:12:54.127 --> 00:12:57.167 line:15%
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out
264
00:12:57.167 --> 00:13:01.407 line:15%
and they could not. Cast out, in Greek, is the
265
00:13:01.407 --> 00:13:03.167 line:15%
word, ekballo.
266
00:13:03.167 --> 00:13:05.207 line:15%
A compound of the word
ek in the word ballo.
267
00:13:05.207 --> 00:13:06.827 line:15%
The word ek means out.
268
00:13:06.827 --> 00:13:10.448 line:15%
The word ballo means to
cast, to hurl or to throw.
269
00:13:10.448 --> 00:13:11.508 line:15%
But when you take the word ek
270
00:13:11.508 --> 00:13:13.548 line:15%
and the word ballo,
compound them together,
271
00:13:13.548 --> 00:13:14.868 line:15%
they form this word, ekballo,
272
00:13:14.868 --> 00:13:17.268 line:15%
which here is translated - cast out.
273
00:13:17.268 --> 00:13:21.268 line:15%
And it really pictures the
forceful, ejecting, expelling,
274
00:13:21.268 --> 00:13:23.268 line:15%
or eviction of someone from a place.
275
00:13:23.268 --> 00:13:25.588 line:15%
The very same word you would use
276
00:13:25.588 --> 00:13:29.088 line:15%
to describe an unwelcome
tenet that is being evicted
277
00:13:29.088 --> 00:13:33.028 line:15%
or ejected from a place
where he has been living.
278
00:13:33.028 --> 00:13:37.488 line:15%
And now we find that this
man called on Jesus disciples
279
00:13:37.488 --> 00:13:41.768 line:15%
to cast this demon out or
to evict it from his boy
280
00:13:41.768 --> 00:13:43.028 line:15%
and they could not.
281
00:13:44.188 --> 00:13:46.240 line:15%
Then we read in Luke 9:41 -
282
00:13:47.168 --> 00:13:50.708 line:15%
And Jesus answering said, Oh faithful
283
00:13:50.708 --> 00:13:55.388 line:15%
and perverse generation,
how long shall I be
284
00:13:55.388 --> 00:13:57.448 line:15%
with you and suffer you?
285
00:13:57.448 --> 00:13:59.228 line:15%
Bring thy son through.
286
00:13:59.228 --> 00:14:00.828 line:15%
But in this statement,
287
00:14:00.828 --> 00:14:03.928 line:15%
Jesus was not really
speaking to the Father.
288
00:14:03.928 --> 00:14:05.168 line:15%
This Father was suffering.
289
00:14:06.048 --> 00:14:08.568 line:15%
This Father was in an
emotional difficult place
290
00:14:08.568 --> 00:14:11.828 line:15%
because his son was being so
tormented by a demon spirit.
291
00:14:11.828 --> 00:14:14.948 line:15%
Jesus was talking about the
disciples when he called them
292
00:14:14.948 --> 00:14:17.448 line:15%
the faithless and perverse generation.
293
00:14:17.448 --> 00:14:19.708 line:15%
How long will I be with you and suffer you?
294
00:14:19.708 --> 00:14:21.088 line:15%
It was the equivalent of saying,
295
00:14:21.088 --> 00:14:22.448 line:15%
after all that I've taught you
296
00:14:22.448 --> 00:14:25.908 line:15%
and all that you have done, why are you not able to do this?
297
00:14:27.188 --> 00:14:31.268 line:15%
And then Jesus says to the
Father, Bring your son to me.
298
00:14:31.268 --> 00:14:33.920 line:15%
Then we read in Luke 9:42 -
299
00:14:35.488 --> 00:14:37.808 line:15%
And as he was yet a coming,
300
00:14:37.808 --> 00:14:41.848 line:15%
the devil threw him down and tear him.
301
00:14:41.848 --> 00:14:46.848 line:15%
And Jesus rebuked the unclean
spirit and healed the child
302
00:14:47.048 --> 00:14:49.848 line:15%
and delivered him again to his father.
303
00:14:49.848 --> 00:14:54.848 line:15%
But notice in verse 42, it says, as he was yet a coming.
304
00:14:55.469 --> 00:14:58.569 line:15%
So now the father has
taken hold of his son.
305
00:14:58.569 --> 00:15:00.549 line:15%
He's now approaching Jesus.
306
00:15:00.549 --> 00:15:03.609 line:15%
And as he approaches Jesus with his son,
307
00:15:03.609 --> 00:15:05.549 line:15%
the devil threw him down.
308
00:15:06.649 --> 00:15:08.709 line:15%
And the word devil again,
the Greek word daimonion,
309
00:15:08.709 --> 00:15:12.229 line:15%
which describes a lone or singular demon spirit.
310
00:15:12.229 --> 00:15:15.189 line:15%
So all of this activity
was all being produced
311
00:15:15.189 --> 00:15:20.189 line:15%
by a single lone demon spirit
that was dwelling in this boy.
312
00:15:20.329 --> 00:15:23.249 line:15%
And the Bible says it threw him down,
313
00:15:23.249 --> 00:15:25.689 line:15%
which pictures a violent act
314
00:15:25.689 --> 00:15:29.909 line:15%
in which the boy was violently
hurled to the ground.
315
00:15:30.789 --> 00:15:33.849 line:15%
Now just imagine this
Father is so relieved
316
00:15:33.849 --> 00:15:36.089 line:15%
that finally he's going
to bring his boy to Jesus.
317
00:15:36.989 --> 00:15:38.889 line:15%
And just as he's approaching Jesus,
318
00:15:38.889 --> 00:15:41.369 line:15%
suddenly this spirit seizes him
319
00:15:41.369 --> 00:15:44.849 line:15%
and violently throws him to the ground.
320
00:15:44.849 --> 00:15:47.669 line:15%
And then Luke adds and tear him.
321
00:15:47.669 --> 00:15:50.109 line:15%
And the word tear again is
a medical term which is here
322
00:15:50.109 --> 00:15:52.029 line:15%
inserted into the text by Dr.
323
00:15:52.029 --> 00:15:57.009 line:15%
Luke. He describes violent
shakings or convulsions.
324
00:15:57.009 --> 00:16:00.429 line:15%
And here we find that this
demon force not only cast him
325
00:16:00.429 --> 00:16:05.429 line:15%
down, but simultaneously plunged the boy into an intense
326
00:16:05.449 --> 00:16:07.649 line:15%
fit of convulsions.
327
00:16:07.649 --> 00:16:09.929 line:15%
And I want to say to you that demon spirits
328
00:16:09.929 --> 00:16:11.349 line:15%
are drama queens.
329
00:16:11.349 --> 00:16:15.349 line:15%
They love to put on a big
show and they love to talk.
330
00:16:15.349 --> 00:16:17.409 line:15%
That's usually why when Jesus was dealing
331
00:16:17.409 --> 00:16:20.449 line:15%
with demon spirits, he would
command them to be quiet
332
00:16:20.449 --> 00:16:22.009 line:15%
and to hold their peace.
333
00:16:22.009 --> 00:16:25.089 line:15%
That's because demons loved
to jabber. They loved to chat.
334
00:16:25.089 --> 00:16:27.029 line:15%
They loved to talk. And Jesus said
335
00:16:27.029 --> 00:16:29.030 line:15%
to those demons, Just cut it out.
336
00:16:29.030 --> 00:16:32.169 line:15%
Put a lid on it. Jesus did not allow them
337
00:16:32.169 --> 00:16:34.090 line:15%
to put on a theatrical performance.
338
00:16:34.090 --> 00:16:35.490 line:15%
Jesus said, Just shut it down
339
00:16:35.490 --> 00:16:40.160 line:15%
and come out. And now again,
we find here in Luke 9:42 -
340
00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:43.050 line:15%
And as he was yet a coming,
341
00:16:43.050 --> 00:16:46.970 line:15%
the devil threw him down very violently
342
00:16:46.970 --> 00:16:50.850 line:15%
and tear him, threw him into convulsions.
343
00:16:50.850 --> 00:16:54.350 line:15%
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit
344
00:16:54.350 --> 00:16:56.650 line:15%
and healed the child
345
00:16:56.650 --> 00:16:58.970 line:15%
and delivered him again to his father.
346
00:16:58.970 --> 00:17:02.630 line:15%
What does it mean when the
Bible says Jesus rebuked the
347
00:17:02.630 --> 00:17:04.570 line:15%
unclean spirit?
348
00:17:04.570 --> 00:17:06.490 line:15%
Well, when Jesus deals with spirits
349
00:17:06.490 --> 00:17:11.250 line:15%
or evil forces often we find this word rebuked, is used.
350
00:17:11.250 --> 00:17:13.050 line:15%
But the word rebuke is an English word.
351
00:17:13.050 --> 00:17:15.610 line:15%
Jesus never said the word rebuke.
352
00:17:15.610 --> 00:17:20.010 line:15%
The Greek word is epitimao,
and this is really important.
353
00:17:20.010 --> 00:17:24.950 line:15%
The word epi carries a sense of intensity. It means against.
354
00:17:24.950 --> 00:17:28.090 line:15%
The word timao normally would describe value,
355
00:17:28.090 --> 00:17:30.190 line:15%
esteem, or worth.
356
00:17:30.190 --> 00:17:33.030 line:15%
However, when you compound
these two words together, epi
357
00:17:33.030 --> 00:17:35.850 line:15%
and timao, they form the Greek word epitimao,
358
00:17:35.850 --> 00:17:39.170 line:15%
which here is translated
as the word rebuked.
359
00:17:39.170 --> 00:17:43.770 line:15%
And it really describes an
assault on someone's pride.
360
00:17:43.770 --> 00:17:46.990 line:15%
Someone who believes they
should be esteemed, someone
361
00:17:46.990 --> 00:17:48.510 line:15%
who believes they should be valued.
362
00:17:48.510 --> 00:17:52.010 line:15%
And here we have this demon
spirit that's been carrying on
363
00:17:52.010 --> 00:17:53.690 line:15%
as though he has so much power.
364
00:17:53.690 --> 00:17:58.690 line:15%
And now Jesus literally releases a verbal spiritual assault
365
00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:00.970 line:15%
against that demon spirit.
366
00:18:01.950 --> 00:18:05.091 line:15%
And the result was swift. The demon fled.
367
00:18:05.091 --> 00:18:06.691 line:15%
The boy was restored to health
368
00:18:06.691 --> 00:18:11.511 line:15%
and Jesus returned him to his
father's arms utterly free,
369
00:18:11.511 --> 00:18:13.251 line:15%
unscathed, and whole.
370
00:18:14.531 --> 00:18:17.391 line:15%
Well, you have to remember
the reason that Lucifer
371
00:18:17.391 --> 00:18:19.911 line:15%
originally fell was because of pride.
372
00:18:19.911 --> 00:18:23.391 line:15%
He is a creature of pride
and demons are just like him.
373
00:18:23.391 --> 00:18:26.011 line:15%
They're very, very prideful creature
374
00:18:26.011 --> 00:18:28.251 line:15%
and they cannot bear to be assaulted
375
00:18:28.251 --> 00:18:29.991 line:15%
and to be verbally denigrated.
376
00:18:30.831 --> 00:18:34.871 line:15%
And when the Bible says Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit,
377
00:18:34.871 --> 00:18:38.431 line:15%
that word rebuked really describes a whole string of words.
378
00:18:38.431 --> 00:18:39.971 line:15%
It wasn't the single word rebuked.
379
00:18:39.971 --> 00:18:42.631 line:15%
Jesus began to verbally humiliate
380
00:18:42.631 --> 00:18:44.911 line:15%
to denigrate this unclean spirit.
381
00:18:44.911 --> 00:18:46.811 line:15%
He began to assault its pride
382
00:18:47.751 --> 00:18:49.571 line:15%
and the result was very, very swift.
383
00:18:49.571 --> 00:18:51.491 line:15%
The unclean spirit left.
384
00:18:52.511 --> 00:18:55.251 line:15%
And by the way, when it
says the unclean spirit,
385
00:18:55.251 --> 00:18:57.551 line:15%
the Greek says it like this.
386
00:18:57.551 --> 00:19:00.671 line:15%
The spirit, the unclean one.
387
00:19:00.671 --> 00:19:03.651 line:15%
This was really a foul spirit
388
00:19:03.651 --> 00:19:07.111 line:15%
and this spirit was doing
foul things to this boy.
389
00:19:07.111 --> 00:19:09.931 line:15%
And the Bible says he
rebuked the unclean spirit
390
00:19:09.931 --> 00:19:12.971 line:15%
and healed the child.
391
00:19:12.971 --> 00:19:15.411 line:15%
And the word healed, is the Greek word iaomai
392
00:19:17.031 --> 00:19:20.811 line:15%
which is a word which is connected with medical doctors.
393
00:19:20.811 --> 00:19:22.811 line:15%
It means to cure or to heal,
394
00:19:22.811 --> 00:19:26.071 line:15%
but it also describes the healing which can be obtained at
395
00:19:26.071 --> 00:19:27.091 line:15%
the hands of a doctor.
396
00:19:27.091 --> 00:19:30.771 line:15%
And here we find that Jesus became the great physician.
397
00:19:30.771 --> 00:19:33.291 line:15%
And it implies that in addition to
398
00:19:33.291 --> 00:19:34.691 line:15%
what this demon was doing,
399
00:19:34.691 --> 00:19:37.071 line:15%
the demon had done something
physically to the boy
400
00:19:37.071 --> 00:19:39.891 line:15%
and now the boy bore the scars of
401
00:19:39.891 --> 00:19:42.471 line:15%
that demon's activity in his body.
402
00:19:42.471 --> 00:19:43.972 line:15%
He didn't just need the demon to leave,
403
00:19:43.972 --> 00:19:46.972 line:15%
but once the demon left, he
had issues that remained.
404
00:19:46.972 --> 00:19:48.792 line:15%
And therefore Jesus stepped in
405
00:19:48.792 --> 00:19:51.992 line:15%
as the great physician, iaomai.
406
00:19:51.992 --> 00:19:56.492 line:15%
And like the great physician,
Jesus healed this boy.
407
00:19:56.492 --> 00:19:59.812 line:15%
Jesus did what no medical doctor could do.
408
00:20:00.892 --> 00:20:04.372 line:15%
And Jesus is still the great physician.
409
00:20:05.232 --> 00:20:07.932 line:15%
It doesn't matter what you're dealing with, Jesus wants
410
00:20:07.932 --> 00:20:10.052 line:15%
to be the great physician for you.
411
00:20:10.052 --> 00:20:12.692 line:15%
If you have a child that is troubled, Jesus wants to deliver
412
00:20:12.692 --> 00:20:15.132 line:15%
that child and then heal that child
413
00:20:15.132 --> 00:20:18.532 line:15%
of any ramifications they've
been carrying in their life.
414
00:20:18.532 --> 00:20:21.692 line:15%
Jesus is the deliverer.
Jesus is the healer.
415
00:20:21.692 --> 00:20:24.472 line:15%
All of this is who Jesus is.
416
00:20:25.352 --> 00:20:29.212 line:15%
And here in Luke 9,
we have seen this true story
417
00:20:30.152 --> 00:20:34.532 line:15%
about a man who had a
child, his only child,
418
00:20:34.532 --> 00:20:38.392 line:15%
tormented by one single demon spirit
419
00:20:39.392 --> 00:20:41.492 line:15%
who would seize his voice.
420
00:20:41.492 --> 00:20:44.132 line:15%
He would begin to scream
and to shreek out.
421
00:20:44.132 --> 00:20:45.992 line:15%
The demon spirit would grab hold of him
422
00:20:45.992 --> 00:20:49.432 line:15%
and literally throw him to the
ground, hurl him into spasms
423
00:20:49.432 --> 00:20:50.552 line:15%
and convulsions.
424
00:20:51.432 --> 00:20:53.032 line:15%
This was a horrible situation.
425
00:20:53.992 --> 00:20:57.672 line:15%
And Jesus completely set this boy free
426
00:20:57.672 --> 00:21:00.652 line:15%
and didn't just set him free
from the demonic influence,
427
00:21:00.652 --> 00:21:04.632 line:15%
but then completely healed
him so that no results
428
00:21:04.632 --> 00:21:07.292 line:15%
of this event remained in his life.
429
00:21:07.292 --> 00:21:10.972 line:15%
My friends, remember that Jesus is the same -
430
00:21:10.972 --> 00:21:13.032 line:15%
yesterday, today, and forever. He did it then.
431
00:21:13.952 --> 00:21:17.352 line:15%
He is still doing it now.
He's going to do it tomorrow.
432
00:21:17.352 --> 00:21:19.973 line:15%
And in the name of Jesus,
I release the power
433
00:21:19.973 --> 00:21:23.393 line:15%
of God into your life right now for Jesus,
434
00:21:23.393 --> 00:21:26.313 line:15%
the great physician, to
step right into the place
435
00:21:26.313 --> 00:21:27.593 line:15%
where you are to touch you,
436
00:21:27.593 --> 00:21:30.353 line:15%
to free you from any evil influence,
437
00:21:30.353 --> 00:21:33.293 line:15%
and to heal you from
any ramifications of it,
438
00:21:33.293 --> 00:21:35.813 line:15%
and to bring deliverance
to those in your house
439
00:21:35.813 --> 00:21:37.233 line:15%
and to those whom you love.
440
00:21:38.313 --> 00:21:42.713 line:15%
In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
441
00:21:42.713 --> 00:21:44.973 line:15%
Wow, this has been good today.
442
00:21:44.973 --> 00:21:47.873 line:15%
And when we come back in tomorrow's program, we're going
443
00:21:47.873 --> 00:21:51.753 line:15%
to see the moment when
Jesus healed 10 lepers.
444
00:21:51.753 --> 00:21:52.813 line:15%
And you're going to learn something
445
00:21:52.813 --> 00:21:54.333 line:15%
that you've never heard before.
446
00:21:54.333 --> 00:21:56.813 line:15%
It's going to be good,
but I'm out of time.
447
00:21:56.813 --> 00:21:58.653 line:15%
So I'll be back in just a moment
448
00:21:58.653 --> 00:22:00.493 line:15%
and I'm going to pray for you.
449
00:22:00.493 --> 00:22:02.313 line:15%
Throughout the Gospel of Luke,
450
00:22:02.313 --> 00:22:06.253 line:15%
Jesus repeatedly demonstrates
his divine authority,
451
00:22:06.253 --> 00:22:09.593 line:15%
even in the face of
opposition and criticism.
452
00:22:09.593 --> 00:22:13.213 line:15%
He forgives sins, heals
the sick, commands the wind
453
00:22:13.213 --> 00:22:18.013 line:15%
and waves, and drives out demonic powers with only a word.
454
00:22:18.013 --> 00:22:19.593 line:15%

461
00:22:36.553 --> 00:22:38.480 line:15%
and his friends refused to give up:
462
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:40.693 line:15%
10 lepers who received their healing

00:23:10.234 --> 00:23:12.834 line:15%

473
00:23:12.834 --> 00:23:16.494 line:15%

474
00:23:16.494 --> 00:23:18.334 line:15%

00:23:18.334 --> 00:23:22.214 line:15%
Call the number on your screen
or scan the QR code to order.
476
00:23:23.734 --> 00:23:26.314 line:15%
Well, I just finished
filming today's TV programs,
477
00:23:26.314 --> 00:23:31.014 line:15%
but I film here almost every
single day, multiple programs.
478
00:23:31.014 --> 00:23:32.514 line:15%
But my days begin very early.
479
00:23:32.514 --> 00:23:35.034 line:15%
By five o'clock in the
morning, I'm working.
480
00:23:35.034 --> 00:23:36.714 line:15%
I'm praying, reading my Bible
481
00:23:36.714 --> 00:23:38.194 line:15%
because I read my Bible every day
482
00:23:38.194 --> 00:23:39.674 line:15%
and I hope you read your Bible every day.
483
00:23:40.514 --> 00:23:42.874 line:15%
And I go online, check
my emails to make sure
484
00:23:42.874 --> 00:23:45.374 line:15%
that I communicate with
everyone that's written to me.
485
00:23:46.334 --> 00:23:49.374 line:15%
I spend time reviewing all of
my notes for my TV programs,
486
00:23:49.374 --> 00:23:53.234 line:15%
and then I come to the studio,
have meetings, then I come
487
00:23:53.234 --> 00:23:55.214 line:15%
and I do TV programs.
488
00:23:55.214 --> 00:23:58.374 line:15%
And I do this day after day after day.
489
00:23:58.374 --> 00:24:00.434 line:15%
And then I begin to write. And guess what?
490
00:24:01.714 --> 00:24:03.914 line:15%
When it should be the end of my day,
491
00:24:03.914 --> 00:24:06.014 line:15%
the day in the United
States is just beginning.
492
00:24:06.014 --> 00:24:09.714 line:15%
People are just waking up,
which means the end of my day,
493
00:24:09.714 --> 00:24:11.574 line:15%
another workday begins
494
00:24:11.574 --> 00:24:14.554 line:15%
because people begin calling
me from the United States
495
00:24:14.554 --> 00:24:17.094 line:15%
and very often I have
means till late at night.
496
00:24:17.094 --> 00:24:20.754 line:15%
So my days are quite long,
but I don't need much sleep.
497
00:24:20.754 --> 00:24:22.934 line:15%
And I believe in being productive.
498
00:24:22.934 --> 00:24:27.094 line:15%
But every day I come
here and I film, I write.
499
00:24:28.074 --> 00:24:30.534 line:15%
And my friends, we are
literally reaching people
500
00:24:30.534 --> 00:24:31.614 line:15%
around the planet.
501
00:24:32.514 --> 00:24:35.274 line:15%
And if you're a partner,
you are such a part of this.
502
00:24:36.154 --> 00:24:37.994 line:15%
We're told in 1 Corinthians 3 -
503
00:24:37.994 --> 00:24:40.575 line:15%
one plants another waters,
God gives the increase.
504
00:24:41.414 --> 00:24:44.855 line:15%
Denise and I and our team,
we do our part, we plant.
505
00:24:44.855 --> 00:24:47.435 line:15%
But our partners come along and water with their prayers
506
00:24:47.435 --> 00:24:48.635 line:15%
and with their finances
507
00:24:48.635 --> 00:24:51.675 line:15%
and we can't do our
part without your part.
508
00:24:51.675 --> 00:24:55.115 line:15%
But then God comes and
God gives the increase.
509
00:24:55.115 --> 00:24:57.175 line:15%
So please pray about becoming a
510
00:24:57.175 --> 00:24:58.375 line:15%
member of our Partner Family.
511
00:24:58.375 --> 00:25:00.775 line:15%
And if you're already a partner, "thank you,
512
00:25:00.775 --> 00:25:02.955 line:15%
thank you" from the depths of my heart
513
00:25:02.955 --> 00:25:04.195 line:15%
for everything that you do.
514
00:25:05.455 --> 00:25:07.855 line:15%
Today we've been studying Luke 9, when Jesus
515
00:25:07.855 --> 00:25:11.235 line:15%
delivered a man's son from a violent spirit.
516
00:25:11.235 --> 00:25:14.735 line:15%
Friends, Jesus is the same.
He's still doing this today.
517
00:25:14.735 --> 00:25:18.715 line:15%
And if you or anyone that you
know is dealing with some kind
518
00:25:18.715 --> 00:25:22.595 line:15%
of a foul evil influence, we
would love to pray for you.
519
00:25:22.595 --> 00:25:25.195 line:15%
And if you'll just call
the number on the screen
520
00:25:25.195 --> 00:25:27.635 line:15%
or send us an email, we
would love to pray with you
521
00:25:27.635 --> 00:25:28.955 line:15%
and we will pray in faith
522
00:25:28.955 --> 00:25:32.015 line:15%
and believe for Jesus to
step right to where you are
523
00:25:32.015 --> 00:25:34.175 line:15%
or to where your loved one is
524
00:25:34.175 --> 00:25:36.455 line:15%
to bring his delivering and healing power.
525
00:25:36.455 --> 00:25:38.575 line:15%
So please reach out to us
526
00:25:38.575 --> 00:25:42.815 line:15%
by calling the number on the
screen or by giving us a call.
527
00:25:42.815 --> 00:25:44.615 line:15%
And please remember
528
00:25:44.615 --> 00:25:48.835 line:15%
that right now this whole series is called Miracles in Luke.
529
00:25:48.835 --> 00:25:50.715 line:15%
It is a 5-part series.
530
00:25:50.715 --> 00:25:54.315 line:15%
We're taking a deep dive
into Miracles in Luke,
531
00:25:54.315 --> 00:25:56.115 line:15%
while it is so rich.
532
00:25:56.115 --> 00:25:58.535 line:15%
And the series comes with a study guide.
533
00:25:58.535 --> 00:26:00.395 line:15%
And I'm also so excited
534
00:26:00.395 --> 00:26:02.195 line:15%
and I really am excited about my book,
535
00:26:02.195 --> 00:26:04.555 line:15%
which is called The
Miracles of Jesus Christ.
536
00:26:04.555 --> 00:26:06.215 line:15%
It is a beautiful book.
537
00:26:06.215 --> 00:26:08.535 line:15%
In fact, you'll want to use
it as a coffee table book,
538
00:26:08.535 --> 00:26:10.575 line:15%
but more than that, you're
going to want to read it
539
00:26:10.575 --> 00:26:13.795 line:15%
because it is an eye-opening examination
540
00:26:13.795 --> 00:26:15.715 line:15%
of every healing miracle
541
00:26:15.715 --> 00:26:17.875 line:15%
and demonic encounter in the gospels
542
00:26:17.875 --> 00:26:19.096 line:15%
and in the Book of Acts.
543
00:26:19.096 --> 00:26:21.556 line:15%
And the reason I wrote this book is
544
00:26:21.556 --> 00:26:24.556 line:15%
because we are supposed to
be doing the works of Jesus.
545
00:26:24.556 --> 00:26:26.176 line:15%
So we need to know what he did
546
00:26:26.176 --> 00:26:30.076 line:15%
and how he did it so we can
replicate it in our lives
547
00:26:30.076 --> 00:26:31.676 line:15%
with the power of the Holy Spirit.
548
00:26:31.676 --> 00:26:35.196 line:15%
And this is a manual
to walk you right into
549
00:26:35.196 --> 00:26:38.996 line:15%
the miraculous healing and
delivering ministry of Jesus.
550
00:26:38.996 --> 00:26:41.916 line:15%
Amen. But if you want to know
how to get these resources,
551
00:26:41.916 --> 00:26:44.616 line:15%
just go online or give us a call.
552
00:26:44.616 --> 00:26:46.996 line:15%
And again, remember, we're
here to pray for you.
553
00:26:46.996 --> 00:26:48.476 line:15%
And I'm going to pray
for you again right now.
554
00:26:48.476 --> 00:26:51.876 line:15%
Father, I thank you in Jesus'
name for the delivering power
555
00:26:51.876 --> 00:26:54.296 line:15%
of God that is still setting people free
556
00:26:54.296 --> 00:26:56.796 line:15%
and that Jesus is still
the great physician.
557
00:26:56.796 --> 00:26:59.456 line:15%
And Jesus, I ask you to heal my friend
558
00:26:59.456 --> 00:27:02.356 line:15%
or to heal those for
whom they have a concern
559
00:27:02.356 --> 00:27:04.096 line:15%
in Jesus' name -
560
00:27:04.096 --> 00:27:07.996 line:15%
Amen. Hey, until the next episode, remember,
561
00:27:07.996 --> 00:27:11.396 line:15%
Ecclesiastes 8:4 says - "Where the word of a king is,
562
00:27:11.396 --> 00:27:12.436 line:15%
there is power."
563
00:27:13.756 --> 00:27:15.936 line:15%
If you've never received Jesus as your savior
564
00:27:15.936 --> 00:27:18.216 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for you
565
00:27:18.216 --> 00:27:22.536 line:15%
to experience a new life
Jesus has to give you.
566
00:27:22.536 --> 00:27:25.696 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now.
567
00:27:25.696 --> 00:27:28.296 line:15%
Lord, I repented my sin
568
00:27:28.296 --> 00:27:31.916 line:15%
and receive you as my savior and Lord.
569
00:27:31.916 --> 00:27:36.736 line:15%
Wash away my sin and
make me completely new.
570
00:27:36.736 --> 00:27:40.396 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
571
00:27:40.396 --> 00:27:44.936 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
572
00:27:46.056 --> 00:27:49.936 line:15%
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
573
00:27:49.936 --> 00:27:51.436 line:15%
for the rest of my life.
574
00:27:52.556 --> 00:27:56.256 line:15%
