            ☀️ A.M. 1John 5:14-21

14 - And this is the confidence we have, that if we ask anything - according to His will - he hears us. 15 And if he hears us, we have the requests we ask for. 16 So if you see your brother or sister sinning [hamartanó - missing the mark] ask, and God will give them life (repentance/turning). Unless it’s the sin unto death. Concerning that I cannot say. {Blasphemy/insulting the very Spirit/Presence of God. Called ‘the unforgivable sin’. The unable to be forgiven sin while it’s being practiced! “All the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare.}

    17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is missing the mark that isn’t death {to the faith and “walk”}. 18 For we know that everyone who has been born of God doesn’t just keep on sinning! For God protects them from the evil one. 19 We know that we’re from God, but “the world” lies in the POWER of the evil one. 20 And we know the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. This is so we may know He who is True. And we are in him, the true one, through his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and iS life enduring. 21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 9:37-45

37 - On the next day, when Jesus, with John, James and Peter came down from the mountain, a great crowd was waiting. 38 And a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher! Please come! And look at my son! He’s my only child! 39 An evil spirit seizes hold of him. And he suddenly cries out and it convulses him so badly, he foams at the mouth! It bruises him, and it keeps coming back. 40 I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they couldn’t!”

     41 Jesus answered, “Oh unbelieving and twisted {missing the mark} generation {humans} how long am I to be with you and tolerate you? Bring your son here.”

     42 And even while he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and presented him back to his father. 43 And the crowd was in awe of the majesty of God.

     But while they were all marveling at all which he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to these words, let them sink into your ears - the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of man.” {The world.} 45 But they didn’t understand what it was he was saying. It was hidden from them, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
