Job 26:11-14

The pillars of the heavens tremble and are terrified at His rebuke. He stirred up the sea by His power, and by His understanding the smashed (proud) Rahab. By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the (swiftly) fleeing serpent. Yet these are just the fringes of His ways (mere samples of His power), the faintest whisper of His voice! Who can contemplate the thunder of His (full) mighty power?

The Bible is our plug-in through Jesus and salvation to the mighty power of God. We are not weak or helpless when we proclaim and stand on the word of God. Nothing is too hard for God, and no situation is beyond repair. When we keep our focus, confidence, and faith in God, God can use His power to work through us.

Job 26:7-10

It is He who spreads out the north over emptiness and hangs the earth on nothing. He wraps the waters in His clouds (which otherwise would spill on earth all at once), and the cloud does not burst them. He covers the face of the full moon and spreads His cloud over it. He has inscribed a circular limit (the horizon) on the face of the waters.

The power of God is mighty, and that power created the earth and us. Our creator has enough power to take care of us and our families. Our job is to believe in that power and lean into God for our lives. Jesus came to this earth to help God’s people, set us up to succeed, and connect us to the power of God.

Luke 7:21

At that very hour Jesus healed many people of sicknesses and infirmities and evil spirits; and He gave (the gracious gift of) sight to many who were blind.  

Jesus came to give us abundant life. Healing did not die with Jesus on the cross; it is there waiting for us to reach for it. Don’t let doubt and fear steal what God has promised for His people. Cast down all imaginations that exalt themselves against the truth of the word. Claim the miracle of healing and be renewed with the word.  

Luke 6:40

A student is not superior to his teacher; but everyone, after he has been completely trained, will be like his teacher.

Jesus came to this earth as our teacher. He is our example of how we are to overcome and be as His people. We settle for less than the fullness of the promises of God by not following Jesus’s example. When we remember to keep our minds closed to the enemy and open to the word of God, we will see the promises active in our lives. 

Luke 1:20

Listen carefully, you will be continually silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place, because you did not believe what I told you; but my words will be fulfilled in the proper time.

If our thoughts are not lining up with the word and promises of God, we will speak against them. God cannot change our circumstances if we are speaking negatively and not believing in faith. When the mind agrees with God, the word of God will come out of our mouths. We will have confidence that what God has promised He will do for us.  

Mark 9:23

Jesus said to him, If you can? All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts (in Me)!

Nothing is too hard for God. Nothing!! No circumstance or difficulty before us is too hard for God. The problem is when we haven’t developed our faith to agree with and believe in God. We also need to control our thoughts and minds and ensure they align with the word in faith. Our success with God depends on our commitment and faith in God and His promises. 

Mark 7:15

There is nothing outside a man (such as food) which by going into him can defile him (morally or spiritually) but the thing which comes out of (the heart of) a man are what defile and dishonor him.  

Our hearts (soul) which contain the mind, will, and emotions, can get us into trouble if not controlled. When we guard our hearts, we protect ourselves from degrading influences and beliefs against God’s commandments. We preserve our peace and keep ourselves from sin by renewing our minds.  

Mark 3:24-25 

If a kingdom is divided (split into factions and rebelling) against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

When our spirits and souls agree, we are in the faith. If we are in doubt in our minds and not letting our spirit lead us, we are divided. We must decide to follow and concentrate in faith on the word. We will only stand and conquer when soul and spirit are in agreement.  

Mark 3:1-2

Again Jesus went into the synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered. The Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him (in the Jewish high court).

Religion does not fulfill man’s needs because that is God’s role in our lives. Jesus came to break us free and reunite us with our relationship with God and all His promises. God never intended His love and grace to be limited to designated days. Jesus has set us free from the law and bought us our freedom to receive from God. 

Matthew 22:36-38

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? And Jesus replied to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.  

When we sell out to God, we give God all of our love. We are drawn to God and His word and want to spend time in His presence. We fully understand and cherish all the benefits we receive from God’s love for us. It is a win for us in our lives because we keep ourselves close to God, and God will stay close to us.
