Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Luke 11:14-28
14 - Jesus healed a man who was mute by casting out a demon, and when the man spoke, the people marveled. 15 But some said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons!”16 Even while others, trying to test him, kept asking him for a sign from heaven. 17 But he knew what they were thinking, and said to them, “Every kingdom/empire/nation which is divided against itself will be laid waste, for a divided household falls. 18 If Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom continue? 19 If I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges (discerning about you ones). 20 But if it’s by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come among you.
21 If a strong man(/household/nation) is fully armed, and is guarded well, the house is safe. 22 But if one stronger attacks and is able to overcome him, his armor in which he trusted is carried away, and his house becomes spoils to be divided. 23 Whoever is not with me (in mY cause) is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
24 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through desert places looking for somewhere to rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to the house from which I came.’ 25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself! And they enter and make theirselves at home there. And the last state is worse than the first.” (The vessel needs to be full ..of God’s Spirit/Presence. And cast out of a house, a nation/governing.. Overturning kings.. It cAn return.)
27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you! And the bosom at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “No, rather [menounge - rather, on the contrary] blessed are those hearing the word of God and keeping it.”

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ James 4:1-6 ~
1 - What causes quarrels and fights among you? (And furious/rude debates?) Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? 2 You desire and don’t have, so you murder (hate in the heart). You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. And you don’t have, because you don’t ask! 3 Or you ask and don’t receive, because you ask wrongly, in self interest. 4 You unfaithful people!
Do you not know that friendship with (and listening to) the world is to be adversarial with God? Wishing to be a friend of the (collective) world (of strayed humanity) makes us an adversary of God. 5 Do you think it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “With jealousy, yearns the Spirit of God to dwell/settle in us”? 6 Nevertheless his grace is greater.. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud. But gives grace to the humble.”
