Overcoming
The Wicked One
For
this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the
works of the devil. 1 John 3:8b
If
we are to be winners we need to know who we are fighting against. We
wrestle against spiritual forces, even if we cannot see them with our
eyes we are in a struggle against them. We are defeating the enemies
of God!

"Always Be Zealous For The
Fear Of The LORD" Proverbs 23:17 NIV
We have living back in Oregon 4 years
now. A recent mission trip for me to Mexico worked a renewal of
something. Zeal. Jesus had zeal. Today he is eager to find lost
sheep. He serves his brothers and sisters by "washing feet".
How can he do this if he is in heaven? Through us! Am I fervent to do
this?

The
Sunday before Easter is a celebration and remembrance of when Jesus
entered into Jerusalem. In that day the crowd stood along the road laying down palm branches. Palm Sunday was a welcome to a king. The
crowd cried out “hosanna”!. I always thought this meant Praise,
or Bless the Lord, but it means: “save us now. Deliver us. Help
