I
do not know if you noticed that I did not make or give a statement
about the demons, devils, mute spirits and the chief ruler sent to
test us in our imaginations of the mind, which is doubtfulness as
revealed in Luke 11:14 and 12:22-34. I did so because the worlds
church system denies the existence of these kinds of operations,
within its own four walls. And by the very fact of this allows them
room and latitude to operate freely within the church. Why is this
so? Because it is in consort with the angel of light, the false
prophet and anti-christ of Revelation, its own form of the bridegroom
and the harlot of mystical Babylon. The true purpose of mans Religion
and its many and diversified denominations, as a house divided. Which
we heard Jesus say will not be able to withstand Him and the Truth in
Grace through Faith and Love when restored to the heart of man, known
and called the Holy Spirit. Who is given when man is separated from
his religion of the mind of doubtfulness. What seems to remain a
mystery is the fact that we are told or cautioned to protect the
issues of the heart in Psalm 4:23 which is part of Deuteronomy 4:9,
Psalm 139:23-24, Matthew 12:35; James 1:14-15, Matthew 15:19-20, Mark
7:21-23, 14:38, Hebrews 12:15-16. God at the moment of mans fall
separated man, to protect man from all forms of crimes of evil this
includes our mind from our hearts own mind. It is this heart mind
that contains the seed of our salvation, which is opened only by our
proper entering of Redemption. Leo Tolstoy in his book titled “The
Gospel in Brief” reveals much of the secret things of God contained
in Christ.
Healing
on the Sabbath
Luke
13:10-17, 18-21, 22-30 Jesus was teaching in one of the
synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there
was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was
bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
When Jesus saw her, He called and said to her, Woman,
you are loosed from your infirmity.
He laid hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and
glorified God. The ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation,
because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said to the
people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them
therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord
answered him, You
hypocrite,
does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or
ass
from the stall, and lead
it
away
to watering?
And
ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has
bound, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath
day?
When He had said these things, all His adversaries were ashamed: and
all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by
Him.
Do
you hear the indignation in the voice of the ruler of this synagogue?
And the rebuttal of the Lord in the same voice of indignation and
intolerance when He calls him a hypocrite? Jesus identifies the
spirit of infirmity as Satan who has bound the woman even while she
was a welcome member of this assembly, signifying the true hidden
operation of this same assemblage within the walls of this synagogue.
Then
He said, to
what is the
kingdom of God
like? and whereto shall I resemble it?
It
is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his
garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air
lodged in the branches of it.
Again He said, Whereto
shall I liken the
kingdom of God?
It
is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal,
till the whole was leavened.
(parallel passages Matthew 13:31-33, Mark 4:30-32)
He
went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward
Jerusalem. Then
said someone to Him, Lord, are there few that be saved? Answered him,
Strive
to enter in at the strait gate: for
many,
I say to you, will
seek to enter in,
and shall not be able.
For
when the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door,
and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying,
Lord, Lord, open to us; and He shall answer you, I know you not who
you are:
Then
shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and
You have taught in our streets.
But
He shall say, I tell you, I know not who you are; depart from Me, all
workers
of iniquity.
There
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and
Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the
kingdom of God,
and you
thrust
out.
They
shall come from the east, and
the
west, and from the north, and
the
south, and shall sit down in the
kingdom of God.
Behold,
there are those who will be last which shall be first, and there are
first which shall be last. (parallel
passages Matthew 7:13-14, 21-23)
Luke
14:15-24
When one of them that sat at meat with Him heard these things, he
said to Him, Blessed is
he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Then He said to him, A
certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
And
sent his servants at supper time to say to them that were bidden,
Come; for all things are now ready.
And
they all with one
consent
began
to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of
ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray have me excused.
And
another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove
them: I pray have me excused.
And
another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
So
the servants came, and showed their lord these things. Then the
master of the house being angry said to his servants, Go out quickly
into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor,
and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
And
the servants said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet
there is room. And the lord said to the servants, Go out into the
highways and hedges, and compel
all
to
come in, that my house may be filled.
For
I say to you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of
my supper. (parallel
passage Matthew 22:1-10, Revelation 19:1-10, 21:1-7, all of Israel
had been summoned to the feast for the preparations had been those
1500 or so years in the making from Abraham until John the Baptist
came as seen in Matthew 11 and Luke 16. And since the day of visitation and His return as the Holy Spirit He has been all about the summoning of all in the highways, hedges to compel all to come in that His house by filled.)
The
next passages follow Jesus' teaching on the righteous upright steward
which the Religious establishment took as a put down because it spoke
directly to them and error of their ways.
