Jesus brought the Kingdom of Heaven, Where He is Present and Powerful

Jesus demonstrates

• Lord of the Sabbath
• Son of David, Messiah
• Power and Authority over Satan and his realm

Lord of the Sabbath

• Disciples not breaking the law (Deuteronomy 23:25)
• Focused on man made form
• David and the showbread
• Priests in the temple
• The law was not the problem

Bread of the Presence

• Mystery of mysteries
• 12 loaves, 6 rows, 13 lbs.
• The face of God
• Everlasting covenant
• Work intensive
• Symbol of thankfulness for necessities

Healing on Sabbath

• Withered hand becomes useful
• Good works called work
• Hard hearted men can't see
• Missed the work of Holy Spirit

Jesus the Chosen

• The Father's Spirit on Him
• Gentle and compassionate
• Loving kindness leads
• Does not break bruised reed
• Does not smolder the wick

Power Struggle

As the general people began to recognize Jesus as the Son of David, those who were in power became more agitated.

Binding the Strongman will set the captives free. The force of darkness is real.

Blasphemy of Holy Spirit

• Context is calling deliverance evil
• Disregarding the work of the Spirit
• Hardened heart to point of no return
• Do not want redemption
• Do not confuse with green fruit and God's patience with sinners
• Evil brings evil

Jonah and Queen of Sheba
are signs of salvation, repentance and seekers of light.

Evil practices and sinful life give passage way to demonic oppression.

"For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."
Believe, receive, and follow by the filling of His spirit.
