20/20 Focus on JESUS

20/20 Focus on JESUS
Each day we need to keep our eyes focused on JESUS - 20/20! I am sorry that I did not continue this blog into the beginning of 2021. Nine months passed by before I was convicted to return to this blog and encourage us to look at JESUS, with clear vision, via a daily scripture reading. Yellow highlights are names/descriptions of JESUS that we'll add to the list on the right.

The Bible shares the definition of GOD's AGAPE LOVE in 1 Corinthians 13.
Throughout the Bible, the illustration of this AGAPE LOVE iJESUS.

So, each day from February 15-29, 
let's plan to take a principle of AGAPE LOVE

There is a huge battle going on!  The devil and his demons are evil!  They work hard to get us to follow them.  We must choose to not rejoice with them, but believe that JESUS is the TRUTH and pray to HIM for help!  Read this story from JESUS' LIFE on earth and know that prayer matters.



Mark 9:14-29

14-  "When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.  

15-  As soon as all the people saw JESUS, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet HIM.

16-  'What are you arguing with them about?' HE asked.

17-  A man in the crowd answered, 'TEACHER, I brought YOU my son, who is possessed by a spirit (demon) that has robbed him of speech.

18-  Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground.  He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid.  I asked YOUR disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."

19- 'You unbelieving generation,' JESUS replied, 'how long shall I stay with you?  How long shall I put up with you?  Bring the boy to me.'

20-  So they brought him.  When the spirit (demon) saw JESUS, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion.  He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21-  JESUS asked the boy's father, 'How long has he been like this?'  'From childhood,' he answered.

22-  'It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him.  But if YOU can do anything, take pity on us and help us.'

23-  'If you can?' said JESUS.  'Everything is possible for one who believes.'

24-  Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!'

25-   When JESUS saw that a crowd was running to the scene, HE rebuked the impure spirit.  'You deaf and mute spirit,'  HE said, 'I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.'

26-  The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out.  The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, 'He's dead.'

27-  But JESUS took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

28-  After JESUS had gone indoors, HIS disciples asked HIM privately, 'Why couldn't we drive it out?'

29-  HE replied, 'This kind can come out only by prayer.'
