JESUS MINUTE

The 2nd enemy that we are dealing with in the spiritual warfare. One of the biggest problems is the divisiveness of the existence of the holy huddle!

The core of evil revolves around a person’s relationship with Jesus. By the way, your relational connection with Jesus is everything.

One of the  most subtle evils has to do with the spirit of anti-Christ. The spirit of anti-Christ is not primarily about that which is against the Christ, but is the spirit of anything that has to do with ‘instead-of’ Christ.

The inseparable combination is Jesus and the Kingdom! Jesus is the King and the Kingdom of heaven is His presence and principles!

Divisiveness is fueled by many sides fighting against one another. The unity of Jesus is fueled by the simplicity of the spiritual warfare. The spiritual warfare has only two sides.

The spiritual warfare is the battle of the ages between good and evil, the great controversy of who will ultimately win out in the end. The end is clear, but how to get there is where we all face a mass confusion.

What’s behind all of this stress, divisiveness and continual upheaval in our communities? It’s evil...where the battle for good and evil is being played out in each of our lives!

A most popular myth that seems to revolve around the mythical figure of the ever-present ‘genie’! Even though many stories have the mythical genie, there is a natural tendency to treat God as our local genie! Yet He’s so much more than that.

Now, here a myth that occurred right in the presence of Jesus among His earliest disciples. This one shocked me at first! The best teaching for us here is that it’s not what you know, but who you know. Even more importantly, it’s so easy to miss the point of how preeminent Jesus really is. And, it all happened in the 9th chapter of the Gospel of Luke.

This may be one of the most universally accepted myths within the Christian faith. And, because of its universal acceptance, many are mistakenly turned off with Jesus.
