Mark 10 Part 2

Blindness comes in many forms. In this second part of the chapter, you will see: the "Holy Spirit sent" blindness of the disciples as Jesus tries to explain to them about His coming arrest, suffering, death and resurrection, the ignorant blindness of James and John asking to sit on Christ's right and left in eternity not knowing what it would cost them, and the physical blindness of Bartimaeus who spiritually heard the call of the Holy Spirit's offer to act in faith and come unto Jesus who could restore his sight and change his life forever. Pray to God to show you where you may still be blind and beg the Lord for mercy to restore your sight so you may glorify Him every day onward.

Mark 10 Part 1

Only God can bring the reconciliation between a husband and a wife when their hard hearts are humbled by the Holy Spirit and they are willing to hear the truth and repent. Surrender your marriage to the Lord who is the designer of marriage. He alone knows how to do the impossible to repair and heal a deep intimate wound, or to choose to rescue one spouse out of the injustice He is witness to. Refuse to allow the enemy to divide you. Instead, allow the Holy Spirit to teach you how to have a submissive childlike heart unto each other and unto the Lord. Give up self-importance and allowing the distractions of the world's riches to seduce your heart from the Lord. Your relationship with Him must come first. All else will fall into place.

Mark 9

What a great chapter with much insight into the inner arguments we sometimes have about our spiritual "greatness" and abilities we think we have, until we are put to the test and truly see that we were born into a lost and fallen state. We each must spiritually awaken to realize God is our Father, Creator, ruler and refiner, yielding to Him, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, to become spiritually transformed  and closely abide in His love. As we diligently seek Him and His will,  giving ourselves to prayer and fasting, we become humbled, obedient and willing to act in His power to love and serve others as both an extension of His body and as the salt of the earth. Become as a child and do not stop them.

Mark 8

Do you struggle to let go of control in your life? Will you follow the path of the Saviour by laying your life down on earth so you may gain an eternal reward that lasts forever? When the Lord examines your heart, does He see someone ashamed to speak of their relationship with Him or a completely surrendered and malleable soul who loves Him reciprocally? Don't hold on tightly to what will someday be destroyed. Seek Him with your whole heart. Invest time and opportunities in your spiritual life by obeying the Holy Spirit's promptings so you may grow closer to Christ, as He intimately shares His insight and teachings with you within your heart. 

Mark 7

Jesus warns us that the truth is we are often defiled within our spiritual heart yet live hypocritically as "righteous" outwardly for all the world to see. He needs us to choose to come to Him and acknowledge our need for His power to set us free from the demonic control over how we think, act, hear and speak. Be as bold and courageous as the Gentile woman who diligently sought Christ and begged Him for mercy for her daughter. Acting in obedience to the whisper of faith within her and speaking to Christ to get to "know" Him, she received the answer to her heart's desire for her daughter. Will you also seek Him while He may be found? 

Mark 6

What areas of unbelief or hard-heartedness do you still struggle with in trusting the Lord? Listen to some heart lessons learned from the parable of the horse whisper, as you join us in our study today. Discover the wonder and amazement of Christ's miracles and abilities as the great I Am, as He provides for the needs of His followers. Pray for whatever He needs to do in your life to create within you a humble and ready heart, one free from fears and trepidation. Remember always: The greatest miracle is the gift of eternal salvation and a true spiritual rebirth conversion by the living, present indwelling of the Holy Spirit within you. 

Mark 5

Jesus Christ has come to set us free from the secret tactics of the devil and his demons as they try to create havoc and destruction in our lives. Grab hold in passionate faith to the merciful hand of Christ outstretched to you. Make an agreement with Him that you believe the Holy Spirit prompts of faith within your heart that nothing in this world is impossible, nor a person too far gone, for God and Jesus to heal, restore, resurrect and to save. Greater is He (God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit) that is in you than he (the devil & any demonic influence) that is in the world.

Mark 4

The Lord Jesus is such a patient teacher. Listen to the many ways He tries to educate His disciples, and all who will listen with "spiritual ears to hear", the hidden meaning of His wonderful life principles and of the mystery of His life being sown so others may live. The closer we will listen to the Holy Spirit, the more we will reap, benefit, and grow. Allow the Spirit of Christ to transform your faith from that of a tiny mustard seed into a large living presence of Him in your life. Take the mental leap from knowing Jesus as only a man to understanding His Divine power to intervene in the storms of your life, caring and protecting you in spiritual battle.

Mark 3

Join us in a discussion of the spiritual battle that we undergo as believers, pre-believers and non-believers. Celebrate the victory that comes through Jesus Christ, who also faced the opposition and knew how to conquer successfully every time. His sacrifice and death has bound up the demonic "strongman" Satan, destroying the enemy's plans to keep us away from truly knowing victory in Christ, that can only come through being spiritually and intimately connected to Jesus and His power that can work through us. Repentance and humility are key, as well as, surrender and full commitment to Christ. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth.

Mark 2

Let the Lord help you understand in a deeper way how He came to fulfill and complete the requirements of the law and to offer His healing and grace to all who hear the calling of the Holy Spirit inviting them to come to the true Physician of their souls and bodies. Open your hearts to receive the abundance of joyful blessings that pour forth in His new wine, being ready to expand your personal knowledge of Him in various ways. See how He can rewrite your future, offering you a second chance with excitement, as you both await your wedding day of true spiritual oneness in eternity forever.
