Luke 6

Luke 6

• Religion appears to focus more on keeping rules, than honoring the movement and will of God’s presence, through the Holy Spirit
• Again, Jesus went up to pray to God for a good amount of time, then returned ready to call men to discipleship
• Religion did not bring healing and restoration to the man’s hand, Jesus’ presence and God’s will DID!
• Jesus was a healer

• The poor, hungry, and sorrowful will be blessed. While those who are rich, prosperous/full, and praised by people will soon see how empty worldly gratification is
• God is kind and compassionate to those who are unthankful and wicked, we are called to the same
• Judgment is not ours to do, but for God alone
• We must first ask God to show us our shortcomings, before we will ever be positioned to help others on their spiritual journey

♥ Questions to Ask

• Where are the areas in my life where I am holding on to religion, more than allowing God’s Holy Spirit to move?
• Am I allowing things in the world to fill my heart, bring satisfaction and joy, rather than God and His will for my life?
• What are my shortcomings, those I don’t see, but need to , to more effectively help others?

Prayer: 

God, thank You for Your mercy! Thank You for reigning in my heart and allowing the Law of Your Spirit to be my guidance, rather than laws of religion. Lord help me to bring healing, not only in my life, but also in the lives of those around me. God, please bring to light those areas of darkness in my life, keeping me from better helping my husband, children, family, friends and community - as well as my enemies, in their walk with You. Lord, thank You for Your example to pray, listen and DO - as You lead!
