         Luke 11:14-28

14 One day Jesus cast out a demon from a man who couldn’t speak. When the demon was gone, the man began to speak and the crowds were amazed. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons.” (This seems to have been going around.) 16 Others wanted to put Jesus to the test. So they asked him to show them a sign from God. 17 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined [erémoó - desolated] and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I cast out the demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? Therefor they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. (He is the arrival of the kingdom.) 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own home, his goods are safe. 22 Until someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings. 23 Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.”

     24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 And when it arrives there, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than before.” (Fill the cleaned up house with God’s Spirit/Presence.)

     27 As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “God bless your mother—the womb from which you came, and the breasts that nursed you!” 28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God! And obey it.” (Thus filling their house.)

From New Testament Letters

          (In Order Written)

           ~ James 4:1-6 ~

1 - [Carnality] What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you? 2 - You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and will even kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. [The carnal and mortal human character - and the world! - and is why power corrupts so checks on powers by balancing them against each other is safer than centralized power. But according to prophecy, power will be held by a few, Rev.17:16. The two that become upon all 7 hills/continents -> the many headed geopolitical beast who rose from the sea of humanity, and $ity Babble (on and on). An oligharchy, yet, will war with each other, Rev.17:16 - Socialism will finally destroy (and “devour” deplete) Capitalism.] ..Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. [Another version - You want something you don't have, and you will do anything to get it.. But you still cannot get what you want, and you won't get it by fighting and arguing. You should pray for it.] [“Ask, seek, knock.”] 3 Yet even when you do pray, your prayers are not answered, because you are praying out of selfishness and self interest. 4 You unfaithful believers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, if you want to be a friend [philía – friendship, friend] of the world, you make yourself an enemy of [echthra - hostility, from  exthros - at war with] God. 5 Do you doubt the Scriptures that say, "God truly cares about and jealously guards the Spirit he has put in us"? 6 So God treats us with even greater kindness, just as the Scriptures say, "God opposes the one who is proud, but he blesses all who are humble, with unearned grace."  [Another version - “So he gives greater grace.”]
