The Exodus Begins When We Break Unbelief and Return as Children of the Promise

Image
Abandon the unbelief that cannot trust God’s promises, and return as a child of the promise. To the Israelites, whose hearts were crushed under harsh labor, God spoke clearly: "Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh." “I have heard your groaning, and I have remembered my covenant.” “I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.  I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. The LORD God promised that He would bring us out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and give us the land He swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as a possession.  Today, the living God still works by the Holy Spirit—the same yesterday, today, and forever. Yet unbelief arises when we judge everything through our own perspective, evaluating God by our scars, our standards, and our circumstances— falling into anger, division, conflict, and limitation because we refuse to trust His promise. Even whe...

Jesus’ All-Night Prayer to Call Disciples Who Know Their Need for the Gospel

Image
Before calling the twelve disciples and appointing them as apostles, Jesus prayed to God all night. After establishing his disciples, Jesus healed many people who were suffering under the oppression of the evil spirits. True salvation is receiving the rightful Lord of our souls. Jesus Christ, who died as a sinner despite being innocent, was an unjust victim, yet he is the true Savior who willingly endured death on the cross for the salvation of all humanity. Without salvation, the monster within us compels us to live according to our own standards. This monster becomes a factory generating endless problems as a greedy liar and murderer, abandoning truth for falsehood. The monster of darkness drags life into total darkness; the monster of chaos destroys direction and leads to addiction; the monster of emptiness leaves us perpetually unsatisfied.  We cannot overcome them by human effort, so Jesus called his disciples and gave them the mission to drive out these monsters through the g...

The Secret to Removing the Monster Within and Becoming a Person of the Spirit

On another Sabbath day, Jesus healed and restored a man whose right hand was withered. The worship on the Sabbath is a time of restoration. But the scribes and Pharisees, bound by the snares of the Law, searched for evidence to accuse Jesus and even plotted how they might kill Him. It is only right to rejoice when a man with a withered hand is healed and restored, yet they sought to kill Jesus who healed him because a monster existed within them. Jesus revealed the identity of that monster, describing it as “your father the devil, a liar and a murderer, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him."  Even if you keep the Law and memorize the Ten Commandments, without recognizing that the key figure of Scripture is Jesus Christ, you end up wearing a mask disguised as an angel of light for the sake of your own righteousness and reputation. Addicted to your own righteousness, you lose all sense of direction and fall into becoming a hardened and proud monster with no gratitu...
