Continued from Harvest Time Luke 10

Sometimes we think people do not receive because we have not learned enough, or we are not filled with the Spirit enough…..or may be we think they have a problem, a hindrance Whatever! What a misnomer the Spirit of God is true and will manifest Himself wherever He pleases. This is not for us to judge or pass judgment! Our job is to get with God, build a solid relationship and plant ourselves deep in the roots of our Father's love then we will be a effective encouragement to others so that they may do the same. Luke 10 13-17.

Jesus even mentions that in the cities of Korazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum people did not receive Him or His Father. These were holy cities, people of God lived there. Therefore, they did not receive their healing most importantly they did not receive their right to heaven. As the scripture goes on, we are to get it deep within us that it is He whom they do not receive; it is not a personal rejection. They will be judged for their choices. It is most important for us to be obedient to our call and not judge others on the journey.

It is so exciting for me to know that Jesus left us with the authority and power to command healing and cast out demons! V18 tells us that Jesus gave us the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to over come all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm us. Personally I hope I do not have to handle the reptile- or a poisons' spider. However, we can minister in confidence, that the Lord our God is in control and He will perform every good work through us and within us! For He does sit on the right hand of the Father continually interceding for us!

Beware, that the works that are performed through us as His hands are miniscule to the everlasting life we have in Him. Do not puff ones self up to be filled with pride, but be grateful knowing that He has shared with us the truths as mere children who love Him. Remembering first and foremost our salvation laid in the hand of our beloved Savior, Jesus. And it is through that faith we are able to carry on the works Jesus once did here on earth!

Blessings!
