“GOD HAS COME UPON YOU!”

Luke 11:14-23                                     (ESV)

“14 Now HE was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.

15 But some of them said, "HE casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,"

16 while others, to test HIM, kept seeking from HIM a sign from heaven.

17 But HE, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.

18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

20 But if it is by the finger of GOD that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of “GOD HAS COME UPON YOU”.

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;

22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.

23 Whoever is not with ME is against ME, and whoever does not gather with ME scatters.”

We all perform certain things that are distinct to us, sort of like our emotional DNA, where we leave our fingerprint on a particular situation.  We don’t even have to struggle to make our presence known, others just KNOW that we were there and left our mark!  Being 6’6” tall is something that is very hard to hide, because no matter how hard you try to not be seen, you cannot hide that you are 6’6” tall!  

Likewise, you can try to hide that you are a Believer that JESUS CHRIST is GOD IN THE FLESH, but the TESTIMONY OF FAITH will soon be made manifest to the entire world, no matter how hard you try to disguise it!  There are many people who are extremely shy and reserved, but even those are placed into positions, from time to time, where their TESTIMONY OF FAITH speaks loud and clear.  

When JESUS cast the demon out of the mute, some said HE did so through Beelzebul, another name used for satan.  There are many names used to identify the enemy, but rest assured that “Whoever is not with ME is against ME, and whoever does not gather with ME scatters.”  No other NAME infuriates the devil like the name of JESUS, and the reason is that HE IS GOD and HE HAS DEFEATED THE ENEMY!!!

When “GOD HAS COME UPON YOU” and instills in you HIS DNA, you have no alternative than to excrete HIS LOVE wherever you are.  You can try to be shy a reserved, but it will stain whatever and whomever It comes in contact with, regardless of their willingness to hear!  All we have to do is live for HIM and display that “GOD HAS COME UPON YOU”!!!
