Can We Lose Our Healing

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 26, 2021

You cannot lose what you did not have. If you have it, you cannot lose it.

Jesus Is Stronger

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 25, 2021

The story of Jesus casting out a demon in Luke 11 teaches us that Jesus has the power to release us from the power of Satan and indeed from everything that enslaves us. The story also shows us how Jesus deals with reproach and the necessity of positively choosing Jesus.

Casting out demons probably seems very alien to many of us. But this story appears in Matthew, Mark and Luke and ...read more
