Jesus or Satan

The Good News (Gospel) According to Matthew
Today’s Focus: Jesus or Satan? Your Choice
Scripture: Matthew 12:24-30

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Simple question but one many citizens have not made their decision in their heart. I know you are saying this is easy, I choose Jesus. But do you? What does your life reflect right now? Do you read your Constitution daily and seek God’s Kingdom in your life? Let’s look at the scriptures.

Jesus is confronting the Pharisees about the power in which Jesus was given to cast our devils. The Pharisees claim He cast out devils by Beelzebub or Satan. Look at Jesus response in verse 27! If Jesus cast out devils by the power of Beelzebub then who do your children cast them out by? So the same power that Jesus cast out devils is the same power we have given to do so through the power of the Father! Better said in verse 28. Now verse 29! Jesus is talking about binding the power and authority satan was given by mankind. And in doing so, He (Jesus) will give the power and authority back to the children of God so that they can help destroy the kingdom of darkness (satan).

Jesus finishes this up by clearly making the challenge, “He that is not with me is against me.” It is a matter of not just words, but of the heart. Who are you with based on your heart and your actions right now?
