Engage With Holy Spirit-Greater Works

All Nations Church, Tallahassee Florida - Pastor Steve Dow - Sermons, Teaching and Inspiration - Reaching All People by All Means With the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Engage with Holy Spirit-Greater Works John 14:12-18 Luke 13:10-21 March 10, 2024 Some people are crippled by suffering and others by religion. Jesus came to set people free who are crippled physically and spiritually. 1. Some are crippled by suffering. Luke 13:10-13 This woman had been crippled for 18 years. Luke uses the Greek ‘astheneia’ which means ‘weakness, fraility.’ The cause of her weakness was a demonic spirit. There are 26 recorded healings by Jesus in the Gospels, only 7 are attributed to demonic influence. She was not demon possessed but oppressed. NOTE: When Jesus cast out demons He always spoke to the demons, not the person and He never touched the person. Remember: Some things that bind us really have no power against us. Rather Satan works in the mind to convince us of our infirmity. What burdens have caused you to be crippled? Worry, Anxiety, Pain, Wounded Spirit? Remember, Jesus sees you and sees what you are hiding from others! When He touches you-you will straighten up! 2. Some are crippled by religion. Luke 13:14-17 Religion inverts priorities: it causes us to treat possessions, property, and positions better than we treat people. Religion is more determined to enforce the rules than living in a joyful relationship with Jesus! Religion restricts, makes one miserable and says if you are enjoying life you are not very spiritual. Religion is ready to condemn anyone who celebrates the power of God. God’s laws are not to restrict but to liberate! Galatians 3:24 Nothing keeps believers immature like enforcing rules! John 8:32 Keep the main thing the main thing. Matthew 22:37-40 People break easily-broken hearts, broken homes, broken bodies, broken dreams, broken hopes…..Jesus came to forgive, heal, and restore!
