The Public and Private Life of Jesus
Take a moment and join me in Mark 1 ; Luke 4 -5 and Matthew 4. Lord willing, the Lord will allow us to see Himself, His Son, His Spirit, His essence, His exactness, His expectations, His enjoyment, His anointing and HOW the enemy has one objective in all his manipulating and schemes. What's the objective? He wants you and everyone you know to question Him, too. Here's the tricky part. He doesn't need nor necessarily even want you to know that you are standing with him, as you doubt and discredit God. He couldn't care less if you knew you were acting like him. He'd actually rather keep you in the dark on his influence. He sees it as a personal win anytime anyone QUESTIONS the essence, exactness, expectations and enjoyment of God.
And when the devil is at work manipulating an individual or group of people, who are full of themselves, they respond the same way he does. They ALWAYS question the essence, exactness, expectations and enjoyment of God.
After healing the leper, in Mark 1:40-41, Luke tells us that Jesus slipped away for time with His Father. He teaches us a great deal about His effectiveness in public ministry.
Learning from the Master.
While we walked with God through Genesis we talked about how EVERYTHING Really Does Matter, especially when God sends you. You see, the means, mission and ministry of Joseph life all mattered. Joseph, who mirrors the life of Jesus, helps us as much as anyone in all the Scriptures, how everything MATERS when God sends you into a foreign world, to do a foreign work, in a foreign way, to unveil His will and bring His life to a people. Doesn't that sound like Jesus?
