Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-26

Matthew 17:15 (NKJV) 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

This man’s son was an epileptic. Yes, he had a disease. But what kind of disease will cause him to throw himself into fire and into the water.

This so-called disease had this child bound like a prisoner.

The man brought his son to the disciples for them to cure him. But their efforts were fruitless. The disciples could not cure him.

So the man went to Jesus and told Him that His disciples could not cure him.

Matthew 17:16 (NKJV) 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”

Jesus’ response was, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?”

His disciples, not having sufficient faith, were not able to bring healing and deliverance to this man’s son.

Matthew 17:17 (NKJV) 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”

Jesus then took the son and rebuked the demon out of him, and he was cured.

Matthew 17:18 (NKJV) 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.

The disciples came to Jesus in private and asked Him why they could not cure him. He told them, number one, because of their unbelief. And, number two, this kind does not go out without fasting and prayer.

Matthew 17:20-21 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

You see faith, prayer, and fasting are what it takes to remove strongholds, or demons.

Some sicknesses or diseases have their root in demonic powers; physical symptoms stemming from a spiritual condition. This demon held the man’s son captive.

We don’t always know what the cause of some sicknesses or diseases might be. But our Helper, the Holy Spirit, Who has come to teach us all truth, will know what the root of a situation or condition is.

We fully understand that it’s a hard thing for parents to see or acknowledge that their child may be captive to a demonic power.

But it’s also a hard thing to watch our child be destroyed and suffer from these things.

If your son or daughter suffers from disease or mental health issues, have faith today. Pray and fast for them that God will reveal the root of their condition, and that they may be healed by His power.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-13-18

Matthew 12:43-45 (NKJV) 43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

This is an often-overlooked truth that costs a lot of people a large amount of unnecessary misery.

Getting free from evil spirits is something that we all need to have a better understanding of. Otherwise, we remain weak and feeble when it comes to getting free, and helping others get free.

What Jesus was speaking about in the verses above is critical to helping people stay free once they have received their deliverance.

When a person breaks free from any kind of spiritual bondage, the unclean spirit will leave and wander about, looking for a new place to dwell.

At some point, they will almost always return to where they were evicted from, to see if maybe they can enter in again. So, it’s important that we don’t fall for its attempts to come back in. Because if we do, it will also bring others with it. And the results will be worse than before.

From my own personal experience, I can verify that this is 100% true. When I was delivered from asthma, I was also set free from the constant use of an inhaler. That little inhaler had become my “pet”. I took it everywhere with me. I was in bondage to it.

In the days following my deliverance, I began to experience symptoms of an asthma attack again. I never actually had an attack. But the symptoms that would normally lead up to an attack began to show themselves.

My first instinct was to reach for my inhaler. But, instead, I got counsel from my pastors at that time. They recommended that I not use it. So, I followed their counsel (somewhat hesitantly, I have to admit). And I’m so glad I did!

After a few days of ignoring those nagging symptoms, and resisting the urge to use my inhaler, the symptoms completely disappeared forever.

It was only afterward that I understood what was going on. The spirit of infirmity that had been calling me its home was attempting to regain entry. Had I grabbed my inhaler and used it, I would have been admitting that my healing and deliverance was no longer valid.

And, by doing so, I would have opened the door wide for it to come back again. It would have been like rolling out the welcome mat for it.

But, because I resisted, the door stayed shut and it had to look elsewhere to find a new home. 17+ years later I am still 100% free of asthma and I plan on staying that way, by God’s power!

If you’ve been delivered from an addiction, or some other kind of spiritual bondage, be sure to let God help you to be strong, even in those initial days after being set free. Do whatever is necessary to resist the urge to return to old habits.

Those first few days afterward are critical and will set the course for the rest of our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-4-13

(Mark 16:17 NKJV)  “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

One morning as we were preparing for the day, we received a phone call from a mother of a young lady. The young lady was 15 yrs. old. Her mother explained her daughter’s condition to us.

Her daughter was acting like a little girl, crawling around the house and saying things like Mama, Dada. In the same breath, she would say the alphabet backwards, in Spanish. The girl had almost no knowledge of the Spanish language.

She was having very violent outbursts toward her parents, telling them that she hated them and trying to physically hurt them.

They didn’t know what to do with her, so they took her to the hospital. The hospital admitted her to the Psych ward. At the Psych ward, she would throw herself off the bed onto a hard floor, trying to kill the baby that was growing inside of her.

When we received the call, we knew immediately that we needed to go to her. Before going, we knew we needed to prepare ourselves for what was about to take place that evening. We entered into a fast and prayed that God would go before us.

Later that evening, as we arrived, we saw this 15 yr. old girl in a chair with a tray across her lap, to lock her in place. She was slouched way down. She had black circles under her eyes and she was cold to the touch. She looked up at us, and in a very slow, weak voice, with every little bit of energy she had in her, she sighed, help me.

We took her into a private room and began to pray with her. As she looked at us, the pupils in her eyes went from tiny to huge. We knew at that point what we were dealing with as God gave us wisdom.

After praying and casting the demonic spirits out of her, she prayed the prayer of Salvation. This 15 yr. old girl was saved at that moment.

Her countenance immediately began to change and a peace came over the room. It wasn’t long before they released her from the hospital.

Today that young lady is a mother of a beautiful teenage boy and she works with the elderly as a Certified Nursing Assistant!

Praise be to God Almighty. He is Good!
