NOVEMBER 26 – AUTHORITY

11/26 Luke 10:21-22
Then Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding the truth from those who think themselves so wise and clever, and for revealing it to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way. 22 “My Father has given me authority over everything. No one really knows the Son except the Father, and no one really knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
AUTHORITY
Jesus has real authority. He is Lord of all creation. Father Son and Holy Ghost are three in one they know each other and are solidified in their thinking. Jesus reveals them to us. Seek wisdom from Jesus and He will give you all that you need. Seek guidance from Jesus and He will lead you where you should go. Trust in Jesus. He loves you.

NOVEMBER 25 – REGISTERED

11/25 Luke 10:17-20
When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” 18 “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan falling from heaven as a flash of lightning! 19 And I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 But don’t rejoice just because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered as citizens of heaven.”
REGISTERED
We are registered in the Book of Life and are citizens of Heaven. The Lord will not forget us. He sees everything that is happening to us. Jesus will change your life and make you a part of a life giving organization-the family of God. Jesus loves you.

NOVEMBER 24 – ACCEPT

11/24 Luke 10:15-16
And you people of Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to the place of the dead. ” 16 Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God who sent me.”
ACCEPT
We are called to accept the Lord and indeed we have accepted the Lord. Jesus will not overlook our needs. Jesus will use us where needs us. Do not fear what the world fears. Jesus is Lord of all things and He will be Lord of your life.

NOVEMBER 23 – TRAGIC

11/23 Luke 10:12-14
The truth is, even wicked Sodom will be better off than such a town on the judgment day. 13 “What horrors await you, Korazin and Bethsaida! For if the miracles I did in you had been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon, their people would have sat in deep repentance long ago, clothed in sackcloth and throwing ashes on their heads to show their remorse. 14 Yes, Tyre and Sidon will be better off on the judgment day than you.
TRAGIC
It is tragic that those that saw Jesus, experienced His miracles and saw Him at work refused Him. We are seeking to follow Him and are looking for His guidance and direction. Do not refuse the Lord. He is seeking your best good. Serve the Lord.

NOVEMBER 22 – ACTION

11/22 Luke 10:5-11
“Whenever you enter a home, give it your blessing. 6 If those who live there are worthy, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you. 7 When you enter a town, don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide you. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay. 8 “If a town welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you 9 and heal the sick. As you heal them, say, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’ 10 But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘We wipe the dust of your town from our feet as a public announcement of your doom. And don’t forget the Kingdom of God is near!’
ACTION
Jesus calls His disciples to action. He had a job for us. We need to be about His work. We are moving on and if someone derides us we simply move on. Refusal is not a way to stop the spread of the Gospel it simply sends us on to the next person, the next town or the next opportunity. Jesus is Lord.

NOVEMBER 21 – TRUST

11/21 Luke 10:3-4
Go now, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves. 4 Don’t take along any money, or a traveler’s bag, or even an extra pair of sandals. And don’t stop to greet anyone on the road.
TRUST
Trust the Lord. What has He called you to do? Trust Jesus to give you what you need to do the work He has purposed for you. He will never forsake you. He will keep you safe unto eternity. Trust the Lord.

NOVEMBER 20 – DESPERATELY

11/20 Luke 10:1-2
The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them on ahead in pairs to all the towns and villages he planned to visit. 2 These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, and ask him to send out more workers for his fields.
DESPERATELY
The Lord is desperately looking for the lost. They count with Jesus and it is imperative that we get to them. The lost don’t know what they are missing. They are dead in their trespasses and sin. If they miss Jesus it will a horrible eternity for them.

NOVEMBER 19 – YOU

11/19 Luke 9:61-62
Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.” 62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”
YOU
You choose whom you will follow. Jesus gives us free will. Note that when you follow Jesus you have set aside your perogotives. Jesus is Lord of all things and when He comes into our life He is Lord of us. Turn to Jesus and keep your eyes focused on Him.

NOVEMBER 18 – GO

11/18 Luke 9:59-60
He said to another person, “Come, be my disciple.” The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” 60 Jesus replied, “Let those who are spiritually dead care for their own dead. Your duty is to go and preach the coming of the Kingdom of God.”
GO
Focus on Jesus. Your life may be in chaos, you may be overwhelmed but when we focus on Jesus, He is able to fix what ails us. We cannot fix the world we can only tell them about what Jesus has done in our life. Share Jesus and don’t worry. The Lord is taking care of you.

NOVEMBER 17 – RELAX

11/17 Luke 9:56-58
So they went on to another village. 57 As they were walking along someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you no matter where you go.” 58 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but I, the Son of Man, have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head.”
RELAX
Jesus had no place to relax. He had a mission and He was totally focused on that mission. Things of this world meant nothing to Him. What the Father wanted meant everything to Jesus. Don’t let the world seduce you instead serve the Lord.
