Matthew 8:16-17 - My Spiritual Battle For A Panadol - Matthew 8 - Part 6 Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 25, 2010

Now this is interesting. Demon possession, evil spirits cast out, people being healed and a prophecy from the distant past saying this applied to Jesus. Why aren't all people healed today when they come to Jesus?

Matthew 8:16-17 - "MY SPIRITUAL BATTLE FOR A PANADOL" - Matthew 8 - Part 6 Demons! There was a time when I told the Lord that I would do whatever He wanted me to do EXCEPT CAST OUT DEMONS and do weird stuff like that with the occult.

Jesus And The Power To Overcome Death

Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 11, 2015

Jesus’ raising of Lazarus sent the people running for cover, and it should also send us running for cover too. We and they finally see that Jesus is Lord and liberator of all the people of God.

The passage from John 11:30-47 shows Jesus at some of the highest and lowest points in his ministry. Jesus was told a few days earlier that his friend Lazarus was sick, but he waited for two days before he and the disciples went to the home of Mary and Martha, who were Lazarus’ sisters.

"Overcoming Bitterness With Praise"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jan 26, 2004

An Acrostic message. Hopefully, this will help you to remember the key points. We will be spelling the word, "Praise." The means by which God has given to us to defeat the evil in this world is with our "praise."

Read Genesis 45:1-15 Joseph had a "right" to be angry. His ten brothers had thrown him into a horrible pit and sold him into slavery. Can you imagine how Joseph must have felt when he heard his brothers denouncing him as a "dreamer," and wanting him dead. For nearly twenty years Joseph lived ...read more

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Dec 9, 2006

Freedom from the tyranny of evil came to us in the Person of Jesus Christ! God did not save us when Jesus died on the cross. He saved us when Jesus was born.

The Cry Of Victory Series

Contributed by John Bartol on Sep 1, 2012

Christ's cry, It Is Finished, was not a cry of despair but of glorious victory. Christ's sacrifice was stainless, perfect, complete. Also, Satan and the powers of evil received a death blow from which they never will recover.

People Pleaser?

Contributed by Bola Folakemi Praise on Apr 6, 2020

The scripture is coming to fulfilment with the signs of end time visible around us. We are in the dispensation where immoral behaviour, evil, wickedness, perversion, debauchery, lies, deception and so on are the order of the day.

The Man Who Was Different

Contributed by Grant Adams on May 19, 2021

The world was exceedingly wicked, and every imagination of the heart was only evil continually, but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. As a result of his difference, he was the man of God used to save the world.

Verses 5-7 give us as dark a picture of humanity as it is possible to paint. Verse 8 begins with a small conjunction…but it’s amazing how much meaning is conveyed in such a small conjunction. It means that Noah was not like those who were previously described. The world was exceedingly wicked, and ...read more
