The Jesus Christ Package!
Have you heard of the term 'packages'? There are some stores that sell packages like gift-packages, combo-packs and others. Did you know that Jesus gave away a package to His believers?
When Jesus Christ was about to go (to Heaven), He gave a power-packed 'package' to His disciples for using for the welfare of human beings. Though it was given for the sake of all believers, but we can learn more of how it was used through the ministry of the disciples. What is that Package?
Matthew 10:7-8 And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.
The 'Package' which Jesus Christ gave to every believer is this:
I Heal the sick. II Cleanse the lepers. III Raise the dead. IV Cast out devils.
You may ask questions, out of which I give some which comes to my mind.
Can I heal, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out devils? Yes, you can! When you become a believer, you will have this privilege. When you are saved, you get the package. When you put your hands on the sick, they will get healed!
What are these 'devils'? Are they ghosts? Ghost is not from the colloquial terminology of America, it is a Biblical term. But ghost and a devil are different. Devils are supernatural beings, which irritate humans. These being influence people to behave differently, even they are not acting. Have you noticed when your boss is sometimes calm and sometimes flying in a fit of rage? It may be difficult to assume the reason behind it. It does not always have to be a demon, but if he gets so in a rather unusual and irritating way, it is a demon. Moreover if he gets into that rage suddenly from a normal behaviour, there are more chances for it to be demonic. The most important thing is that your boss doesn't become a demon and hence do not get scared of him! Please do not act as if you saw a stray dog, and try to pick some stick, stone or others. When you see your boss in that way, it is simple to handle and believe you can 'kick that devil out'.
What, demons? Should I have to run away or should I fall down flat? Demons do not have a body, so they cannot chase your physical body. Secondly, they do not carry AK-47's or other sophisticated guns, so that you can lie down flat to evade the flying bullets. They simply are beings, whose nature is to irritate humans without disclosing their presence.
If my boss is getting influenced by a demon, then I think so...(?) Yes, you may be correct! When you see the world around you today, you may not be able to say what is natural and what is demonic. They are so alike! For time-being, do not confuse to as what are demons and others.
Well, we shall discuss how to enjoy the full privileges that has been given to us by Jesus!
