HEAL THE SICK … THE KINGDOM OF GOD / LUKE 10:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 10:9

 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

HEAL THE SICK … THE KINGDOM OF GOD / LUKE 10:9

Jesus once again points out that the “kingdom of God” – His ultimate authority, power, plans and purposes on earth and into eternity – is strongly associated with healing the sick (Luke 9:1-2).

I SAW SATAN FALL / LUKE 10:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 10:18

 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

I SAW SATAN FALL / LUKE 10:18

In the original Greek, the tense of this phrase literally means “I was watching Satan fall like lightning.” Jesus saw in the spiritual realm what was happening as disciples ministered with His authority: Satan’s forces were defeated over and over again. Jesus’ remarks kept the disciples’ ministry in perspective. He shared their joy (Luke 9:21) and enthusiasm for God’s work, affirming that they had done effective spiritual battle and won significant victories over evil. But this statement was also warning the disciples not to become proud about their ministry. Jesus was the power behind their work, and He had literally witnessed Satan’s downfall and defeat from before the world began. The most important issue in their ministry by far was that they and others who received the message now had a place in heaven (Luke 9:20).

LAMBS AMONG WOLVES / LUKE 10:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 10:3

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

LAMBS AMONG WOLVES / LUKE 10:3

Believers who faithfully follow God’s will (His plans, purposes and desires) will face and be threatened by many dangers. Their message, methods, character and even their lives will be opposed and attacked by ungodly people and destructive forces of evil in the world. Knowing this, we must pray for God’s presence, protection and provision.

SENT THEM TWO BY TWO / LUKE 10:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 10:1

After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

SENT THEM TWO BY TWO / LUKE 10:1

The principle of sending out workers two by two is very important in God’s work because it provides opportunity for unified faith and greater wisdom. 

It also helps bolster courage and provides personal accountability. Other passages dealing with the two-by-two principle are: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Matthew 18:16; Mark 6:7; 14:13; Luke 7:19; John 1:35-41; 8:17; Acts 9:38; 10:7; 15:36-41; 19:22; 2 Corinthians 13:1; 1 Timothy 5:19; Hebrews 10:28; Revelation 11:3-6, 10-12.

UNLESS YOU FORGIVE / MATTHEW 18:35

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 18:35

“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

UNLESS YOU FORGIVE / MATTHEW 18:35

In this story, Jesus teaches that God’s forgiveness, though freely given to those who confess and turn from their sin, still depends on each individual’s willingness to forgive others.

  1. This means that a person may lose the chance to be forgiven for their sins by God if he or she holds on to a bitter, resentful and unforgiving heart (Matthew 6:14-15; Hebrews 12:15; James 3:11, 14). Compare Ephesians 4:31-32, where Paul says that bitterness, resentment, hostility and ill will have no place in the Christian faith and must be eliminated.

This parable not only describes a person who did not want to forgive, but he also resented the fact that he needed to be forgiven. When he confronted those who had a small debt with him, surely, he remembered the huge debt that had been removed from his account. In fact, that seemed to be what caused his anger; he acted as if his personal debt had been caused by those who owed him. While receiving forgiveness from God should not be a difficult matter, it does require humility, admission of guilt and a willingness to change. Sadly, many people are not willing to adopt this attitude. As a result, they cannot receive forgiveness from Christ. See Matthew 6:14; Matthew 6:15.

PRAY IN THE SPIRIT / EPHESIANS 6:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:18

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

PRAY IN THE SPIRIT / EPHESIANS 6:18

Our warfare against Satan’s spiritual forces calls for serious and continued prayer. This means praying “in the Spirit,” “on all occasions,” “with all kinds of prayers,” “for all the saints,” “and always keep on praying.” Prayer is not to be viewed just as another spiritual weapon, but as the very act of battle itself as we work together with God to gain the victory for ourselves and others. Failing to pray diligently, with all kinds of prayer in all situations, is to surrender to the enemy (Luke 18:1; Romans 12:12; Philippians 4:6; Colossians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17).

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT / EPHESIANS 6:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:17

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT / EPHESIANS 6:17

The “sword of the Spirit” – the Word of God – is our offensive weapon to be used in the war against the powers of evil. Jesus effectively used this weapon against Satan (Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13). We must know God’s Word and be confident of its power and effectiveness. Satan will try to twist God’s Word, as he has from the beginning (Genesis 3:1-5), and he will make every effort to undermine or destroy the Christian’s confidence in God’s Word. The church must hold on to and defend the inspired Word of God against claims and attacks that it is not authentic and accurate in everything it teaches. To abandon the attitude of Christ and the apostles toward God’s inspired Word is to deny its power to expose evil, to correct, to save, to heal, to drive out demons and to overcome all evil. To deny Scripture’s absolute authority and trustworthiness in all it teaches is to surrender ourselves to Satan’s deception, influence, control and final destruction (2 Peter 1:21; Matthew 4:1-11).

PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD / EPHESIANS 6:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:13

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD / EPHESIANS 6:13

We cannot effectively take part in spiritual warfare in our own strength and with our own plans and strategies; we will surely be defeated or even destroyed. In order to do effective spiritual battle and come out victorious against satanic forces of evil, we must use the armor that God provides. The full armor of God includes:

  1. “The belt of truth” – allegiance to God’s truth and commitment to integrity – rather than physical force – will win spiritual battles and will help secure the other elements of spiritual armor (Isaiah 11:5; John 8:32; 17:17).
  2. “The breastplate of righteousness” – Godly character and a right relationship with God are necessary in protecting our heart and allowing us to fight effectively for purity and justice (Isaiah 59:17; 1 Peter 2:24).
  3. “Feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace” – Believing and boldly proclaiming Christ’s message is a sure way to advance Christ’s cause and overcome the enemy (Acts 10:36; Revelation 12:11).
  4. “The shield of faith” – This pictures the large Roman shield, covered in leather and often soaked with water to extinguish flame-tipped arrows; this symbolizes how bold faith (believing and claiming God’s promises) helps us throw off enemy attacks (1 John 5:4).
  5. “The helmet of salvation” – Being renewed in our minds (Romans 12:2) and confident of our relationship with God will protect us in battle and allow us to follow a God-given strategy of victory (Psalms 27:1; Isaiah 59:17; Acts 4:12).
  6. “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17).

FORCES OF EVIL / EPHESIANS 6:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:12

 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

FORCES OF EVIL / EPHESIANS 6:12

We must keep in mind that our primary source of conflict in life is not circumstances or other people who irritate, offend, annoy or hurt us; they are not the real enemy. The enemy with whom we are at war is Satan and a multitude of evil spirits (Matthew 4:10).

  1. These powers of darkness are the spiritual forces of evil (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 John 5:19) that energize, influence and control ungodly people (Ephesians 2:2). These dark forces oppose God’s purposes, plans and forces oppose God’s purposes, plans and desires (Genesis 3:1-7; Daniel 10:12-13; Matthew 13:38-39). They frequently attack people – particularly Christians – using various schemes and strategies (1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:11).
  2. There are multitudes of these evil powers (Revelation 12:4; Revelation 12:7-9), and they are highly organized into an empire of evil with rank and order (Ephesians 2:1-2; John 14:30).

AGAINST THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES / EPHESIANS 6:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:11

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

AGAINST THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES / EPHESIANS 6:11

Christians are involved in a spiritual conflict with evil. This conflict is described as a warfare of faith (2 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Timothy 1:18-19; 6:12) that continues until they pass from this present life and enter the life to come (2 Timothy 4:7-8; Galatians 5:17). Satan is a master strategist who aims to hurt and destroy us by his various schemes. Causing division in the church and unbelief in God’s promises is among “the devil’s schemes.” Satan’s strategies also include discouragement, temptation, unforgiveness, fear, accusation, giving in to our sinful desires (particularly in our weak areas), spiritual laziness, etc. He will do whatever it takes to entice believers to compromise their conscience and distract them from devotion to Jesus. Paul instructs believers to take their stand against the devil’s schemes. 

  1. We can take confidence that our victory has been secured by Christ through His death on the cross to pay the price for our sins. Jesus disarmed the evil powers and authorities (Colossians 2:15; Matthew 12:29; Luke 10:18; John 12:31), leading captives to freedom (Ephesians 4:8) and rescuing those who entrust their lives to Him (Ephesians 1:7; Acts 26:18; Romans 3:24; Colossians 1:13-14).
  2. At the present time, we are involved in spiritual warfare through the might and power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:13). This warfare involves doing battle: (a) against our own rebellious desires (1 Peter 2:11; Galatians 5:17), (b) against the ungodly pleasures of the world and temptations of every kind (Matthew 13:22; Galatians 1:4; James 1:14-15; 1 John 2:16) and (c) against Satan and his demonic forces (Ephesians 6:12). As God’s people, we are called on to separate ourselves from the ungodly beliefs, behaviors and lifestyles that are common in the present world system. This includes hating, resisting and avoiding the world’s evil (Hebrews 1:9), overcoming and dying to worldly temptations (Galatians 6:14; 1 John 5:4) and exposing and speaking against sin and evil (John 7:7). 
  3. We must stand in battle against all evil, not in our own power (2 Corinthians 10:3) but with spiritual weapons (Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
  4. In our warfare of faith, we are called to do many things: Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13), stand firm (Ephesians 6:14), wage war (2 Corinthians 10:3), fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 4:7), persevere in prayer (Ephesians 6:18), endure hardships like good soldiers of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3), suffer for the message of Christ (Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:17; 2 Corinthians 11:23; 2 Timothy 1:8), defend the message of Christ (Philippians 1:16), contend for the faith (Philippians 1:27; Jude 1:3), not be frightened by opponents (Philippians 1:28), conquer (Romans 8:37), be victorious (1 Corinthians 15:57), triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14),destroy Satan’s strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4), take captive every thought (2 Corinthians 10:5) and become powerful in battle (Hebrews 11:34).
