Greater in Us Mark 1: 25 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of a verse in Mark chapter
• 0:02
  1, verse 25, where Jesus says, Be quiet, said
• 0:06
  Jesus sternly. Come out of him. And then, of
• 0:10
  course, the evil spirit shakes violently in verse
• 0:12
  26, and came out of him with a shriek. Bottom
• 0:16
  line is, he that is in us is greater than he
• 0:19
  that is in the world. The next time the enemy
• 0:21
  is messing with your head, trying to get you
• 0:23
  to think a thing that you shouldn't think, or
• 0:25
  do a thing that you shouldn't do, or give in
• 0:27
  to a temptation, Just tell him to shut up. Tell
• 0:30
  him in the name of Jesus. Tell him because you're
• 0:33
  a servant of God. Tell him because you're a child
• 0:35
  of God. Be found faithful, of course. Be found
• 0:38
  faithful doing the things that Jesus would have
• 0:40
  you to do. I submit that that would include serving
• 0:44
  in your local church, giving, sacrificing yourself
• 0:47
  for the kingdom of God, praying, reading your
• 0:50
  Bible, spending time, quality time with the Lord,
• 0:54
  discovering who you are in Christ, and activating.
• 0:58
  Those traits on behalf of the kingdom effort.
• 1:01
  Live for Jesus. And then whenever the enemy comes
• 1:04
  against you, tell him to shut up. Tell him to
• 1:07
  be quiet and leave you alone. Deny him and he
• 1:11
  will flee. I guarantee it. I wanted to encourage
• 1:15
  you with just a couple of additional resources
• 1:17
  while I have you today. The first one is the
• 1:19
  Life 4 Toledo app. Life, the number 4 Toledo.
• 1:21
  It's in the App Store. You can download it for
• 1:24
  free. All kinds of Life Station resources and
• 1:27
  New Heights resources in there for free. You
• 1:30
  can also download for free the Serpent and Seed
• 1:33
  app. It's Serpent and Seed. It's a game, really.
• 1:36
  Really appeals to kids, but I kind of enjoy playing
• 1:39
  the whole thing. Doesn't cost you anything. Doesn't
• 1:42
  have any ads. Totally free to learn the Bible.
• 1:45
  And pretty cool.
