Bible Reading: Exodus 14,15; Matthew 17.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” – Acts 10:38 (KJV)
The ministry of Jesus Christ on earth is still on today. He was sent and anointed to heal all that were oppressed of th devil, and to do good works. He did as was sent and even chose his disciples and empowered them to do same. He said the same way He was sent, He also had sent us, His disciples.
Jesus gave us a glimps of how heaven feels when we are not using our heavenly authority to take charge of proceedings on earth in Matthew 17:20. The demon could not be driven out of a possessed boy by His disciples. Jesus was not pleases with them. As representatives of heaven, we are to reflect heaven here on earth. Satan and his angels had no place in heaven after the war with Michael and his angels (Revelationsv12:7-8). Wherever children of God appears they are empowered to overcome the devil and his demons.
Jesus did many good works just as He was sent to. Good works for us includes biblically authorised activities that benefit people for time and eternity and that give credit to God. Jesus said in John 17:18, “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.” So we have been empowered by Christ to do good works.
Reflect heaven by growing in Faith. Believe in His Word and demonstrate that you believe Him. Add fasting to your prayers like Jesus did and you will operate as He did while on earth.
Prayer: Father, thank you for empowering me to operate like your Son, Jesus, here on earth.
