    God specializes in impossible things. When we encounter those things over which we have no control, who better to turn to than the God of impossibilities, because nothing is too impossible for God.

    Jeremiah 32:17, 27; Luke 1:37; 18:27 Robert Schuller in his book, Move Ahead with Possibility Thinking begins the book with these questions: Are you limping when you could be walking strong; whimpering when you could be whistling; crying when you could be laughing?

    Paul’s point is that the Holy Spirit is the controlling influence motivating and directing the lives of believers. As we sort through these participles, we can identify at least three results of the Holy Spirit’s influence.

    The Spirit-Filled Life Ephesians 5:15-21 Quick Discussion: What are the two most significant influences on your life? “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit.” At the heart of this contrast is a life lived under the influence of … those influences, ...read more

     | 5,066 views

    We are culturally conditioned to believe in our own autonomy: my rights, my choices, me as the boss of myself, me in control of what I want to do, so is Jesus really our King?

    If Jesus Isn't In Church You Go Home With Your Demons

    Contributed by Aaron Holbrough on Feb 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,260 views

    We need to domesticate the word Demon to imply anything that desires to negatively control and influence us. Once we do that, so much of what Jesus does become incredibly applicable to us.

    Did you happen to bring a demon to church on Sunday or maybe just sit beside one? Hard to tell isn’t it, Botox is really screwing up my ability to spot them in a crowd. In Luke 4:31 we find Jesus is teaching in a Synagogue, and at some point a man interrupts and an evil spirit speaks to ...read more
