Jesus Makes You Want To Give

So then Zacchaeus stood up and solemnly declared to the Lord, See, Lord, the half of my goods I [now] give [by way of restoration] to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I [now] restore four times as much. And Jesus said to him, Today is [Messianic and spiritual] salvation […]

Being Rich Is A Curse

Jesus, observing him, said, How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle’s eye than [for] a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Luke 18:24-25 This is probably one of the greatest reasons that Jesus […]

Jesus Said That He Wasn’t Good.

Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [essentially and perfectly morally] good? No one is [essentially and perfectly morally] good—except God only. Luke 18:19 Without a doubt, this is one of the most liberating verses in the Bible. If Jesus, Who is God, and Who was God in the Flesh, said that He wasn’t good […]

Jesus Empowers You To Be A Prayer Warrior

And will not [our just] God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf? Luke 18:7 There are multiple examples in the Bible of Jesus praying all night. And in the morning, long before daylight, He got up and went out to a deserted […]

Will The Last Days Actually Be Prosperous

So also [it was the same] as it was in the days of Lot. [People] ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; But on the [very] day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed [them] all. That is the way it will be […]

You Will Know Preachers By Their Fruit

Now the Pharisees, who were covetous and lovers of money, heard all these things [taken together], and they began to sneer at and ridicule and scoff at Him. Luke 16:14 It is easy to tell who is truly called of God to serve and who is not. If the person is loaded with worldly possessions and speaks of them as God’s […]

You And Jesus Share Everything

So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say good-bye to) all that he has cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:33 In Christ you no longer possess anything of your own. Everything that you have is your Father’s and everything that your Father has is yours. God does not […]

The Power of Humility

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled (ranked below others who are honored or rewarded), and he who humbles himself (keeps a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly) will be exalted (elevated in rank). Luke 14:11 There is nothing more humbling than to confess to being saved, because when you do, what you […]

True Miracle Workers Are Hated

But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, There are six days on which work ought to be done; so come on those days and be cured, and not on the Sabbath day. Luke 13:14 Jesus healed a woman who had been sick for eighteen years […]

Don’t Expect To Be Liked

Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth? No, I say to you, but rather division; For from now on in one house there will be five divided [among themselves], three against two and two against three. Luke 12:51-52 One of the ways that you will know that you are a […]

You Will Feed The Hungry

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful steward, the wise man whom his master will set over those in his household service to supply them their allowance of food at the appointed time? Blessed (happy and to be envied) is that servant whom his master finds so doing when he arrives. Luke 12:42-43 The […]

God Will Empower You To Be Generous

Sell what you possess and give donations to the poor; provide yourselves with purses and handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33 Your power to actually fulfill this teaching is provided for you directly from God. Your […]

Jesus Ensures That All Of Your Needs Are Met

And you, do not seek [by meditating and reasoning to inquire into] what you are to eat and what you are to drink; nor be of anxious (troubled) mind [unsettled, excited, worried, and in suspense]; For all the pagan world is [greedily] seeking these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Luke 12:29-30 The […]

Only Keep What You Need

And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious and troubled [with cares] about your life, as to what you will [have to] eat; or about your body, as to what you will [have to] wear. For life is more than food, and the body [more] than clothes. Luke 12:22-23 For the Gentiles […]

Have No Faith In Worldly Possessions

And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man’s life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs. Luke 12:15 Jesus repeatedly taught that life is so much more than […]

God Is Even Involved With The Small Things In Your Life

But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many [flocks] of sparrows. Luke 12:7 If your Father even knows how many hairs are on your head, then there is no detail of your life, not even the smallest […]

Jesus Empowers You To Not Fear

I tell you, My friends, do not dread and be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do. Luke 12:4 Jesus goes way beyond telling you not to fear, He empowers you not to fear. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and […]

Share God’s Word With The Poor

But [dedicate your inner self and] give as donations to the poor of those things which are within [of inward righteousness] and behold, everything is purified and clean for you. Luke 11:41 Look at the great Truths that Jesus shares in the one little verse. First, you are to share the Truth with the poor. It is […]

Jesus Will Empower You To Keep His Word

But He said, Blessed (happy and to be envied) rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey and practice it! Luke 11:28 There are many in the world who want you to believe that this is a choice that you must make on your own. However, the Truth for you is so much more freeing. […]

The Harlot & The Beast

And [the angel further] said to me, The waters that you observed, where the harlot is seated, are races and multitudes and nations and dialects (languages). And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will [be the very ones to] hate the harlot (the idolatrous woman); they will make her cheerless (bereaved, […]

Don’t Let Up On God

So I say to you, Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you. Luke 11:9 When it comes to praying for others never let up on God. Insist that He helps them until He does. And […]

You Don’t Need A Degree To Be Used By God

In that same hour He rejoiced and gloried in the Holy Spirit and said, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have concealed these things [relating to salvation] from the wise and understanding and learned, and revealed them to babes (the childish, unskilled, and untaught). Yes, Father, for such was Your gracious will and choice and good pleasure. […]

God Has Empowered You To Believe

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. John 6:44 The only reason that you believe that Jesus is Lord is because […]
