    Luke 4:31-41 - What Authority Really Looks Like

    Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024
     | 1,172 views

    The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?

    Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more

    Elisha put his hands on the King's and said "Shoot!" Then the King banged the arrows, but only 3X. God gave him the opportunity for complete spiritual victory, but the King was only halfway committed. We must make a 100% dedication if we want God's best!
