Bible Verse of The Day – 2-9-17

Luke 10:17 (NKJV) 17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

These people all spent time with Jesus. They walked and talked with Him. They watched Him perform miracles. They heard Him teach others, and He taught them personally.

Yet, they were surprised and amazed that even the demons were subject to them in His name.

In reality, here is what everything boils down to; everything is subject to the name of Jesus.

Demons have to flee when His name is spoken. The wind and the waves obey Him. And even those who follow Him have authority in His name.

As we go through each day, it’s important that we remember this; that if we are a follower of Christ, we are part of His body. We are part of something much bigger than we can even comprehend.

Being a Christian, a follower of Christ, means more than just “being religious”. It means more than just calling ourselves a Christian. It means more than attending church. And it means more than just putting a label on ourselves and setting ourselves apart from others.

As a follower of Christ, it’s critical that we understand who we are and Who we belong to.

And because of that, we shouldn’t live feeble, weak, defeated lives. We should live lives that reflect Who we belong to and Who dwells in each of us.

No, we might not always feel strong and victorious. And sometimes we might feel like we have dropped the ball. Or maybe we just feel a bit weak or tired.

But once we really begin to comprehend who we are as a believer, we should start to understand that our lives are meant to be lived victoriously. So when those things come that hit us or knock us down, we should be spending way less time down than we spend up!

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
