Jairus and the Crowd
January 24, 2025
Jairus and the Crowd: Luke 8:40-42
“40) And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him. 41) And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house; 42) for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.” Luke 8:40-42
Jesus was developing a reputation very unlike the religious leaders of His day. He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom. He had genuine compassion for people. He cast out evil spirits. He healed the sick and performed many amazing miracles.
Yet He had many critics, especially from the Pharisees, Sadducee’s, priests and religious leaders. But when they faced huge personal crisis, even they quickly turned to Jesus.
Such was the case of Jairus the official of the synagogue. His only daughter was dying. She was twelve years old. He came and fell at the feet of Jesus and began to entreat Him to come to his house and heal his daughter.
This was no time for religious bias, jealousy or prejudice. He was desperate and only Jesus offered any hope for help. Notice, he did not run to his own religious leaders. They were inept and powerless.
There is nothing like a crisis to force people to filter through religious and philosophical barriers and consider Jesus. Don’t wait for a crisis to seek Jesus!
Time was of the essence, but there was one problem, everyone else was flocking to Jesus as well. During His time on earth, Jesus was restricted to time and space. There wasn’t enough of Him to go around! Jesus had to duplicate Himself.
Stick with me, you are about to discover two amazing promises. First, in John 14:11-15, Jesus promised that those who truly believed in Him would do greater works than He performed. He gave/gives His authority to His followers to do in His name everything He did. He did indeed duplicate Himself.
Second, in the same text a few verses later, Jesus promised to send the Helper. (John 14:16-18) He would come with power and He would be omnipresent. He would be everyplace at the same time.
We are now living in the age of the Holy Spirit indwelling every true believer. The fulness of Jesus is in every born-again and Spirit filled believer. Nothing is lacking for those who understand and embrace the full scope of their new identity and position “in Christ.”
Ignorance and unbelief are barriers blocking most believers from appropriating the authority, power, dominion and presence of God in their life and ministry. These are like the crowd that hindered Jesus from getting to the daughter of Jairus.
The last paragraph is pregnant with meaning. Review it many times until your spiritual understanding embraces the full scope of your identity, filling and position “in Christ.”

Legion was no match for Jesus Christ!
January 23, 2025
Legion Was No Match For Jesus Christ: Luke 8:26-39
“26) Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27) And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs. 28) Seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me.” 29) For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert. 30) And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him. 31) They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss. 32) Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons implored Him to permit them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission. 33) And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34) When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and out in the country. 35) The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened. 36) Those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was demon-possessed had been made well. 37) And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear; and He got into a boat and returned. 38) But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but He sent him away, saying, 39) “Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.” Luke 8:26-39
This is the classic story of the encounter between Jesus and the man possessed by a legion of demons. It is also recorded by Matthew and Luke. Because of the length of commentary I gave on this story in those two books, I am going to restrict myself to only a few comments here in Luke.
First, demons exist and spiritual warfare is a reality. It is woven into the fabric of the entire Bible. If you doubt this point you deny the testimony of the Bible and call God a lier.
You have a serious problem of not having a biblical world view and you are denying the authority of Scripture. With that reckless view of Scripture, I sincerely doubt your salvation. You either believe it all or you are not a believer at all!
Second, Jesus cast out many demons and set hundreds of people free from demonic torment and bondage. He never encounter a demonic entity He did not have absolute authority over, even prior to His death, burial and resurrection. Why? Because of His identity. Jesus Christ is God!
Third, the man was totally set free and restored to normality. Jesus Christ is in the business of defeating bondage and darkness and setting people free. He gave His disciples authority to do the same in His name. He does the same today.
Finally, the man went and told his story broadly throughout Decapolis. When Jesus returned to this region several months later people flocked to Him. Hundreds were healed and set free. This is where Jesus fed the four thousand. The testimony of one formerly demon possessed man prepared the whole region for Jesus and the gospel. This illustrates the power of a testimony that Jesus Christ and the gospel saves and sets free!

The Dominion of Jesus Christ
January 22, 2025
Understanding the Dominion Of Jesus Christ: Luke 8:22-25
“22) Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out. 23) But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger. 24) They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm. 25) And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”” Luke 8:22-25
This story is held in common by Mathew, Mark and Luke. It is the story of Jesus falling asleep in the boat as they were crossing the Sea of Galilee.
The disciples were confident that they were in control. Four of them were seasoned fishermen. They were most likely in one of their own boats. They were within their natural dominion. They were master seamen.
But suddenly, they were caught in a fierce storm. The boat was in danger of being swamped. They recognized that they were caught in a life threatening situation. Fear gripped them. But Jesus was peacefully sleeping through the storm.
What a contrast. Peace and panic are on opposite sides of the emotional spectrum. So are faith and fear.
As a last resort, they woke up Jesus and said; “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Do not minimize this story. They were facing eminent disaster. Jesus used it the teach them a huge lesson about His dominion.
They got it right, He was “The Master!” But the looming question was, “How far does His Mastership extend?” They knew he had authority over sickness, disease, demons and even death; but what about the forces of nature? This story was about to stretch their understanding of Jesus Christ.
Think about it. We throw the word master around loosely. We have master plumbers, master electricians, martial arts masters and even servants who refer to the head of the house as master. But in each case their dominion is very limited.
We might assume when they said, “Master, Master” they were hoping He was the Master of all Masters. They were hoping his dominion extended to the winds and the sea. Indeed, if He could handle their present crisis, it would put Him in a very unique category.
Watch what happened next. Jesus rebuked the wind and the surging waves and it became calm. Does that sound odd? He did not pray, rather He issued a command. He had authority to command the winds and the sea, because He had dominion over them!
He then questioned the disciples, “Where is your faith?” We might ask, “What is faith?” From the story of the centurion in Luke 7:1-10, we are forced to conclude that faith involves understanding authority and how it works.
From this story of Jesus calming the sea, we now have to expand our definition to include understanding the full dominion of Jesus Christ. How far does your understanding of the authority and dominion of Jesus Christ extend?
Notice the conversation among the disciples after Jesus calmed the raging sea; “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?” (Vs 25) They were forced to connect the identity of Jesus with His authority and dominion.
But something else was happening in this story. When Jesus asked them; “where is your faith”, He was prodding them. He had given them His authority, it appears that He was wondering why they did not use it in this situation?
The simple answer is that they didn’t understand that His delegated authority extended to their present situation. They had limited understanding of the extent of His dominion.
I confess, this story stretches me. I can no longer ignore the growing revelation of the authority and dominion of Jesus Christ as it builds in story after story through the gospels. I now see it as very intentional progressive revelation about Jesus Christ.
Jesus wants us to understand His identity, authority and dominion and live in it as sons of the kingdom. When the Promise of the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, He added “power” to the mix.
The distinction of the early church is that they embraced these truths and walked in His dominion. They stepped into their identity “in Christ” and lived in His authority and power.
That’s why the book of Acts and the balance of the New Testament became an extension of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. His signs and wonders continued through His church. He was building His kingdom.
He is still building His Church and His Kingdom. He wants us to know and embrace His identity, dominion, authority and power just as the early believers did. We are living in the same biblical epoch or age as they. Nothing has changed!

Manuel Update
January 21, 2025
Manuel Miracle:
This update is from our daughter Hannah.
Thank you so much for praying.
They moved Manuel to a low risk room tonight meaning he can have his phone and I am able to visit him tomorrow.
But tonight I was able to call him and talk to him to process over everything that happened yesterday.
He told me his side of what happened.
At the first clinic he remembered at one point having three doctors talking about his case to him saying, you need a heart transplant but they cost a lot of money and in the time frame you have it’s not possible.
When they transferred him to the second hospital they had to sedate him. To keep from stressing out his heart.
At the second hospital ( the one he is currently at). They re-took the test and agreed that his heart was in bad shape. That’s when they told us about him having tops three days to live if he didn’t get to Lima for treatment. he was dying.
For some reason the new doctors ordered a new test and his heart was healing, then they ordered a new test ( in total he had 15 of the same tests done) at every test his heart was a little healthier until they couldn’t see anything wrong with it. The doctors ask Manuel how his heart was feeling and he said feels normal. Then the doctors said we have no way to explain what just happened. They couldn’t see anything signs of a heart attack, or the blood clots, his heart was/is healthy.
When the new doctor looked at the last test he asked why is he here? There is nothing wrong his heart but it looks like he has pneumonia in his lungs.
They decided to send him to the intermediate healthcare unit to watch what would happen because the doctors were left baffled with his case.
I truly believe God literally gave Manuel a new heart because of everyone who covered him in prayer.
He’s alive because each one of you reached out to your prayer warriors and also prayed yourselves for his healing. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

Reaching Your Family
January 21, 2025
Reaching Your Family: Luke 8:19-21
“19) And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20) And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” 21) But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”” Luke 8:19-21
At first glance, it appears that Jesus was being rude to His natural family. But that is not the case. At this point according to the other gospels, His family was opposing Him rather than embracing Him and His ministry. (John 7:3-5) They were siding with His critics that He had gone too far.
Jesus was merely sending the message that His walk with God and His calling was His top priority. He was devoted to the family of God.
Many followers of Jesus are opposed and even ostracized by their natural families because of the gospel. Some face persecution or even martyrdom.
The family of God needs to fill the void. Those who hear the word of God and do it need to walk together. They have a unique bond in the Spirit. They can become closer than natural families.
But it must be stressed that Jesus did not burn bridges with His natural family. His mother followed Him right to the cross. His step brother’s James and Jude emerged as leaders in the early church.
This underlines an important point, family members must respond to the gospel for themselves and be born-again. Not even His own family could skip this step. They each in turn eventually embraced Jesus as the Messiah.
This is actually an amazing testament of the dignity, genuineness and consistency of Jesus Christ. Family members are often our greatest critics, but even they were won over to the true identity of Jesus Christ. This may have been His most difficult sell. This point alone causes me to marvel!

Manuel Update
January 20, 2025
Manuel Update:
Manuel suffered a serious heart attack but also had some pneumonia. The miracle was that he went from near death and his heart getting worse by the hour to near recovery with his heart functioning normally very wuickly. They were seriously doubting he would survive a life flight to Lima.
They were saying he had a huge clot that blocked 50% of his heart. They were talking permanent heart damage if he survived. They basically gave up all hope of saving him.
Then suddenly everything changed. The doctors are baffled. He went from near death to doing well in terms of 1/2 hour. At least that was the time frame between a terribly gloomy report to Hannah from the doctors to incredibly good news. Talk about an emotional roller coaster.
They are keeping him for a few days to treat the pneumonia and monitor the heart, but they have no medical explanation as to what happened.
The whole story is shrouded with mystery. It has God fingerprints all over what happened. At one point, he was so bad the doctors didn’t know how he was still alive. They said, “only prayers are keeping him alive.”
In literally 1/2 hour, we went from preparing for the worse any time, to them calling Hannah in and saying “we can’t explain what just happened, but his heart suddenly went from being damaged beyond hope to functioning normally.” The block or clot just disappeared. We are so thankful and giving God the glory.
During my message yesterday, I spoke about God still doing miracles today. I had no idea what was unfolding in our own family down in Peru as I was preaching.
Thank you to all the prayed warriors who went to battle earnestly yesterday for Manuel. We are getting encouraging testimonies from many people who prevailed long and hard on his behalf for healing. They refused to give up!
