Luke 18:42
Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you."

Steve R. from Mathis, TX said:
Another example of healing faith. The man believed (knew) that Jesus could heal him He asked and he received. That's the kind of faith that is required from each of us.

Luke 17:19
Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."

Steve R. from Mathis, TX said:
It's about faith. You have to believe it to receive it. Just like the woman with the issue of blood. Deep inside her innermost she believed without a doubt that if she could touch the fringe of the shawl that Jesus wore she would be healed.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
Amen, Steve, and I continue to ask Him fro a greater measure of faith, just as the woman you mention here. God bless.

Luke 16:13
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."

" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
Steve R.
Steve R. from Mathis, TX said:
Christ followers are adopted children in the family of God. As such God promises to always be with us, to never leave us. Also as children of the most high God we are heirs to God's kingdom.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
Amen, Steve. He is so patient, even if we drift off the path, He's always patient and striving to get us back. An excellent example was Peter's testimony in this chapter. God bless, Steve.

Luke 14:26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.
Steve R.
Steve R. from Mathis, TX said:
You have to be willing to be disliked, scorned, by those close to you. You have to be willing to turn and walk away from those dear and close to you when they begin to challenge you and your desire to turn away from things of the world and follow Jesus.

Karin B. from South Bend, IN said:
that makes some sense STEVE but still we are to love like JESUS and to do that how can we be required to HATE first???? still confused....Karin B
Lloyd S.
Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
To me, Karin, Jesus is just stressing the point that Jesus (God) must come first, above and beyond anything else, even our own family or our own lives. I would like to see this verse in the Hebrew language, or, even the Greek.. I expect it would be much clearer as to what it means. As a matter of fact, I ave a missionary friend who has studied and even teaches the Bible in Greek where she is and I'll contact her and see how she translates it. Message me back and I'll hold your response until I hear back from her. God bles you sister.

Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?"

Steve R. from Mathis, TX said:
No matter what the day or the hour we should always be willing to share the Good News of Jesus to whoever it is that God leads you to or leads to you. There is no day of rest in doing God's work.

Luke 12:31
But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

Steve R.
Steve R. from Mathis, TX said:
This is a must, followed by a promise. Try putting everything other than God first and see how well it prospers. Afterward try placing God first and let everything else follow; then enjoy the blessings of a caring Father.

Give us each day our daily bread.

Steve R. from Mathis, TX said:
It is important to receive our "daily bread", our word from God fresh each day. Yesterdays bread has become stale.
