Greater is He

I greet you in Jesus’s precious name! It is Monday morning, 8th August, 2022, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

“O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.” And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.”

Acts 13:10-11

We must be very careful that we do not prevent people from seeking the Lord. You see, the pro-consul was intimidated by Elymas the sorcerer. He was trying to explain to the pro-consul that Jesus was not Lord and Paul, that bold apostle, spoke up and immediately that man went blind. Don't play the fool with God.

“Greater is he who is within us than he, who is in the world.

1 John 4:4

“You see darkness cannot live with light. You walk into a dark room, you strike a match and the blackness recedes immediately, just like oil cannot mix with water. With Jesus Christ living within us, we have victory over the devil. In the name of Jesus, miracles happen... And that's exactly what happened. If we go to Acts 3:16, we see it again:

“And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong,…”

That was the lame man that was healed by Peter at the gate. We need to use the power of God at our disposal. Some of us are walking around with a child's popgun, trying to do battle against the devil when we have a scud missile at our very disposal. What have you got in your hand? You say, “I’ve got nothing” Well, that's what Moses said. And the Lord said, “You have got a stick in your hand, use it!” And what did Moses do? He stood against the most powerful army on earth, at that time, and overcame them by the word of God.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

Revelation 12:11

Do you remember that old song? Oh, I loved it, it was sung by a man by the name of Chuck Girard and it went something like this:

It's the name above all names.
And we will declare it.
Oh, we will declare it.
It's the name above all names.
And we will shout it to a dying world.

Let's go out today and shout out that name of Jesus. I tell you what, that darkness must recede and the light of God will come into your life. Have a wonderful day.

Jesus bless you and goodbye.
