Complete Authority

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Matthew 10:1 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. O-bservation: Jesus had called the disciples individually to follow Him sometime earlier. But now He calls them together for something entirely different.

Good Morning And Good News!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Isaiah 61:1a The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. O-bservation: These were the words of Isaiah spoken in his day, long before the birth of Jesus. I’m sure Isaiah spoke them concerning himself and what God was doing in his own life as a prophet. Yet 700 years later this particular prophecy was also used by Jesus to let the people know that He (Jesus) was the fulfillment of this prophecy. A-pplication: Every real “Jesus Follower” believes that this prophecy from...
