Live Bread-Live Life

Matthew 12
The Voice
12 The Sabbath came, and Jesus walked through a field. His disciples, who were hungry, began to pick some of the grain and eat it.

The Sabbath is a day of rest when one creates nothing, breaks nothing, gives nothing, makes no contracts, cuts no flowers, and boils no water; it is a day set aside by the Lord to remember the creative work of God, to experience the peace of the Lord, and to rest in the provision of God.

2 When the Pharisees saw this, they reacted.

Pharisees: Look! Your disciples are breaking the law of the Sabbath!

Jesus: 3 Haven’t you read what David did? When he and his friends were hungry, 4 they went into God’s house and they ate the holy bread, even though neither David nor his friends, but only priests, were allowed that bread. 5 Indeed, have you not read that on the Sabbath priests themselves do work in the temple, breaking the Sabbath law yet remaining blameless? 6 Listen, One who is greater than the temple is here.

7 Do you not understand what the prophet Hosea recorded, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice”[a]? If you understood that snippet of Scripture, you would not condemn these innocent men for ostensibly breaking the law of the Sabbath. 8 For the Son of Man has not only the authority to heal and cast out demons, He also has authority over the Sabbath.

9 Jesus left the field and went to the synagogue, 10 and there He met a man with a shriveled hand. The Pharisees wanted to set up Jesus.

Pharisees: Well, is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath too?

Jesus: 11 Look, imagine that one of you has a sheep that falls into a ditch on the Sabbath—what would you do?

Jesus—who can see the Pharisees are testing Him and basically have missed the point—is growing a little testy. The Pharisees say nothing.

(to the Pharisees) You would dive in and rescue your sheep. 12 Now what is more valuable, a person or a sheep? So what do you think—should I heal this man on the Sabbath? Isn’t it lawful to do good deeds on the Sabbath? 13 (to the man with the shriveled hand) Stretch out your hand.

As the man did so, his hand was completely healed, as good as new.

14 The Pharisees went and mapped out plans to destroy Jesus.

15 Jesus knew that the Pharisees were plotting to kill Him and left the area. Many people followed Him, and He healed them all, 16 always insisting that they tell no one about Him. 17 He did this in keeping with the prophecy Isaiah made so long ago:

18 This is My servant, whom I have well chosen;
this is the One I love, the One in whom I delight.
I will place My Spirit upon Him;
He will proclaim justice to all the world.
19 He will not fight or shout
or talk loudly in the streets.
20 He will not crush a reed under His heel
or blow out a smoldering candle
until He has led justice and righteousness to final victory.
21 All the world will find its hope in His name.[b]

22 Some of the faithful brought Jesus a man who was possessed by a demon, who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him. The man could see and talk, and demons no longer crawled around in him.

People (astonished): 23 Could this be the Son of David?

Pharisees: 24 It is only through Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this Jesus can cast out demons.

25 Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking.

Jesus: That would be like a father splitting his own household down the middle or a king cutting his kingdom in half—the household and the kingdom would fall apart. 26 So, too, if Satan imbued people with the power to drive out demons, Satan’s kingdom would collapse. 27 And you should think about this too: you have friends who drive out demons. If I am working as a tool of Beelzebul, whom are your people working for? 28 When I come to you and drive out demons by the Spirit of your Father in heaven—for the glory of your Father in heaven—you should recognize and rejoice that the kingdom of God has come to you.

29 Imagine you wanted to break into the house of your neighbor, a strong brawny man, and steal his furniture. First, you’d have to tie up your neighbor, yes? Once he was bound and tied, you could take whatever you wanted. 30 Similarly—he who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not doing the Father’s work of gathering up the flock may as well be scattering the flock.

31-32 It is one thing for you to speak ill of the Son of Man. People will be forgiven for every sin they commit and blasphemy they utter. But those who call the work of God the work of Satan utterly remove themselves from God, and those who blaspheme God’s Spirit will not be forgiven, neither in this world nor in the world to come.

33 Good trees produce good fruits; bad trees produce bad fruits. You can always tell a tree by its fruits. 34 You children of snakes, you who are evil—how could you possibly say anything good? For the mouth simply shapes the heart’s impulses into words. 35 And so the good man (who is filled with goodness) speaks good words, while the evil man (who is filled with evil) speaks evil words. 36 I tell you this: on the day of judgment, people will be called to account for every careless word they have ever said. 37 The righteous will be acquitted by their own words, and you evildoers will be condemned by your own words.

Scribes and Pharisees: 38 Teacher, we want to see some miraculous sign from You.

Jesus: 39 You wicked and promiscuous generation—you are looking for signs, are you? The only sign you will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, as the Son of Man will spend three days and three nights in the belly of the earth. 41 One day, the people of Nineveh will rise up in judgment and will condemn your present generation—for the Ninevites turned from sin to God when they heard Jonah preach, and now One far greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will also stand in judgment and condemn this generation—for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom. And today One greater and wiser than Solomon is among you.

43 Let Me tell you what will happen to this wicked generation: When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it rattles around through deserts and other dry places looking for a place to rest—but it does not find anywhere to rest. 44 So the spirit says, “I will return to the house I left.” And it returns to find that house unoccupied, tidy, swept, and sparkling clean. 45 Well, then not only does one spirit set up shop in that sparkling house, but it brings seven even more wicked spirits along. And the poor man—the house—is worse off than he was before. This evil generation will suffer a similar fate.

46 While Jesus was speaking to the crowd, His mother and brothers came up and wanted to speak to Him.

Someone in the Crowd: 47 Your mother and brothers are waiting outside to speak to You.

Jesus: 48 Who is My mother? And who are My brothers? 49 (pointing to His disciples) These are My mother and brothers. 50 Anyone who does the will of My Father in heaven is My mother and brother and sister.

Matthew 11
New King James Version
John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus
11 Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.

2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he [a]sent two of his disciples 3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: 5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

7 As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. 9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it is written:

‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

16 “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, 17 and saying:

‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not [b]lament.’

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a [c]winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her [d]children.”

(Admin Footnotes:
In earlier verses in this chapter says John The Baptist is in prison
and was sending some of his disciples to asked Jesus if He is the one or we look for another. In this case, John knew that he was the

Woe to the Impenitent Cities
20 Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, who[e] are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in S***m, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of S***m in the day of judgment than for you.”

Jesus Gives True Rest
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Matthew 10
New King James Version
The Twelve Apostles
10 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and [a]Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the [b]Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

(Admin Footnotes = from verse 1-4 Jesus gave His disciple power over unclean spirit and heal all kinds of diseases. The names of the twelve disciple were named here too.
But if we dig deeper and relate this in our lives as believers, we too have a gift(s) Mark 16:16-18 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who [d]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[e] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
Make this verse your own. I mean own it and by no time you will be casting bad spirit and healing all kinds of diseases. It is time to recover and strengthen and muscle up our faith in Jesus.)

Sending Out the Twelve
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, [d]cleanse the lepers, [e]raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, 10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

(Admin Footnotes = verse 5-10, Jesus instructed His disciples to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But why does He not want them to go outside of Israel, because the once lover of God is easier to get their focus back on God and renew their faith. And Jesus also implied that they don't collect any money from people or even bring bag or money or staffs. Jesus wants to muscle up the disciple faith so in whatever circumstances they'll face they knew that God will never leave them nor forsake them. For the worker is worthy of his food. My version is, for the worker is worthy for a compensation and the Master compensation is more worthy than our own.)

11 “Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. 12 And when you go into a household, greet it. 13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of S***m and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

(Admin Footnotes = Have you ever feel like you are speaking to a dead wall to a certain people when you share your experiences, your victory your triumph over your trials and testing in life. But to some people they get it. Sharing our circumstances to people, is like a field, some it is ready to be planted but to others is like hard as a rock. It is the heart that matter. It's the openness to change. And He said, "when you depart shake off the dust of your feet", that means don't cling or don't even bring it with you or don't talk about the things you see as in their sins their shortcoming their need of God but bring it into prayer only God can change the heart )

Persecutions Are Coming
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless[f] as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. 18 You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house [g]Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

(Admin Footnotes = verse 16-20 Jesus told his disciple to act kindly (in the midst of wolves) - in the midst of unbeliever, people that doesn't know any better rather than speak bad to other people, talk back when they feel too, back stub others when they're not around. Also, Jesus warned his disciples that if they be turned in to a higher rank because of their faith and or belief in God Jesus assured them that during that hour the Spirit of God will be with them to depend them to speak in their behalf.
verse 21-23
children against parents or other way around and even cause to put to death but Jesus gives a way of escape to flee to other places. Did you remember, when Paul was in prison on how the Angel of God open the prison wall miraculousy for him and instructed him to go his way after he was outside the prison. I said have faith in God in everything you do He has Angels to work in our behalf.
verse 24-26
A servant is not above his master and the same a child is not above his parent this is the same saying. What I am saying is, if during the time of Jesus's ministry he was persecuted and put to death it will also happen to his disciple or his followers. In other instances, Jesus said, 'you will do greater things because I am going to the Father,
John 14:12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.)

Jesus Teaches the Fear of God
27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [h]hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a [i]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

(Admin Footnotes = verse 27-31
If you have a knowledge of wisdom or a revelation that might be for somebody or for you and if you don't have a gut to share pray about it I am sure that God will help you get it out of your system and share it in the open or for that intended person and or in some instances that might be for you. He knows what you're going through and as the verse goes "Do not fear therefore you're of more valuable than that of sparrows. Do not be a worrier but put your trust in God always He knows the best for you.)

Confess Christ Before Men
32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

(Admin Footnotes = verse 32-33
Do not fear in sharing your faith and if you work with unbelieving co workers don't worry your action(s) or your way of life in the midst of unbelieving people in your work place will speak louder than your words. And if you were asked why you act kindly even if people talk trash about you, you proudly tell them your love of God and His word. You might be persecuted or discriminated but the word of God says "He will not give you a burden that you are not capable of bare.)

Christ Brings Division
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[j] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

(Admin Footnotes = verse 34-39
His words will separate relationships. Relationship establishes who you will be with. Did you remember that saying Light and darkness can't be mixed or oil and water can't be mixed. But you can be light in the midst of darkness and you can be oil in the midst of toughness. Your faith in God will separate your relationship between parents or children. He must be the priority in our lives even if we suffer loses. We will not lose sight of how He can make life more in our behalf. As His words assures us.)

A Cup of Cold Water
40 “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

(Admin Footnotes:
If a person received and or believed your testimony, as a believer in Christ, that is also means he believed and received God. Even if, they will give you water to drink or whatever necessity you need and they provide it at that time to advance the work of the gospel as the bible said you will receive a reward. But we are not after reward, we want the life saving message.)

Matthew 9
New King James Version
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic
9 So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city. 2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”

3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”

4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 7 And he arose and departed to his house.

8 Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled[a] and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

(Admin Footnotes:
In these encountered with Jesus, He didn't even have to touched or wait for the man to asked Jesus for his healing. But Jesus seeing their faith - the people that brought the paralytic and Jesus knew their intention and seeing their faith the paralytic and the people that brought him to Jesus, Jesus healed the man with the word. But the disgusted scribes already have bad thoughts about Jesus. And Jesus that have power to discern their thought and the intent of their heart knew, "Hebrews 4:12 New King James Version
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Jesus blasted them in the open of how He healed the paralytic. God is no respecter of person either you are good looking or president. But remember this, He protects, guides, love, provides, blesses what His.
So the paralytic went home complete.)

Matthew the Tax Collector
9 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.

10 Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, [b]to repentance.”

(Admin Footnotes;
This time its the Pharisees asked the disciples of why Jesus eating together with sinners. But Jesus answered them. And did you remember when Jesus in some of His teaching that said "when they brought you to Kings and they question you about your faith, do not think of what you will say for the Holy Spirit will answer in that time. As I said, He protect what is His. And in connection with what the Pharisees question about the Teacher - Jesus and Our Lord Jesus Christ, and take notice, the disciples didn't even have to answer the question but it is Jesus answered to the jealous, power hungry Pharisees and Jesus said, "Those who are well have no need of physician, but those who are sick." And because those have ear but can't hear or understand what the Master Jesus said, the Pharisees think they are well but if they understood spiritually, they should just listen the teaching of Jesus and accept it, but because its the pharisees pretentious egoistic lifestyle they're more hateful to the Master Jesus.
In our time today, there are many Christians that have no time to keep still and know that God is in control. This is the time to anchor our faith in His word. There are so much distractions around us everyday but it is us believer to come up higher and establish His presence in that higher ground and we can only get it by keeping that focus on His abundant presence that He establishes within us)

Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting
14 Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast [c]often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15 And Jesus said to them, “Can the [d]friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for [e]the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins [f]break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

(Admin Footnotes;
This is like wearing unmatched clothes, Jesus explained the confuse scribes and pharisees of why His disciples were not fasting. Yes, it is hard to be sad and unhappy when there's abundant breakthrough.)

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
18 While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.” 19 So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, 24 He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. 25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went out into all that land.

(Admin Footnote:
Take note:
=The ruler came up and worship and saying to Jesus “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.”
= a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
What is the key word to these breakthrough. " WORDS and faith to the WORDS "
=the first one "Lay Your Hand on her and she will live" and what did Jesus did, He went to the ruler's house put out the noisy crown and said' "make room for the girl is not dead but sleeping. Oh God, open our eyes that we can see. It is easy to heal when faith is around. So putting out the noisy crowd are like putting those unbelief, doubt, negative vibes thoughts, stay away from people that always talk negative - negative energy wants to dominate but praise be to God the Spirit of God will rise up within and get us focus on His presence which we can find in His Words.
=the second part of this healing was the woman with the issue of blood. She said within herself "if only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well."
How did she get her healing? By doing what her faith demand on her. And Jesus knew and turn around and said your faith made you well. Amen)

Two Blind Men Healed
27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”

28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they [g]spread the news about Him in all that [h]country.

(Admin Footnotes:
Two blind men followed Jesus and crying out saying "Son of David, have mercy on us." These two blind men did not stop until the came to Jesus. And Jesus asked them "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said Yes and Jesus answered "According to your faith so be it. This is still the same, we have to anchor our faith to Word. Because word have life, word have meaning.)

A Mute Man Speaks
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed. 33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”

(Admin Footnotes;
So how do they knew that it is demon possessed in those generation? They must not have enough access to medicine so they can just medicate the man and prescribe or name a disease over the man. So how about a person we know that is mute? Is it a demon possess too? It is the presence of God in us that can know and identify that demon in a man for light and darkness can not be in one room. Jesus say by prayer and fasting.)

34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

The Compassion of Jesus
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease [i]among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were [j]weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

(Admin Footnotes;
I pray Lord of the harvest that You will stir in us that hunger to serve, and fire to serve that Only You can Provide. Equip me in that field and lead me Your Your Holy Spirit. Amen)
