 Recently, I have been scanning TV shows, series both from the USA and from the UK. There is a phenomenon that occurs consistently across all genres be they comedy, mystery, spy shows, ethnic-specific, martial arts, westerns, etc.


The phenomenon is simply this: there is no other religiously associated name that is used in verbal abuse, cursing, cussing, shaming, slanderous talk of simply idle chatter in conversation EXCEPT the Name of Jesus Christ. His Name alone is used in cursing/verbal abuse.

No one uses Mohammad's name, Buddha's name, Krishna's name or the name of any other god among the nations to curse, cuss or berate another.

I believe that is because Satan only wants to abuse and slanderously slime the Name of the only Savior of humanity to make it seem like so associated with ill-repute, dirt and dishonor, that people world-wide come to disregard the only One who dies and rose again to reclaim them from spiritual death and to bring them into life.

It is not something happening by chance. It is at heart demonically purposeful. Listen carefully and you will hear the same.

Let me let you in on something that is not a secret, but is being systematically squelched. Jesus Christ is the only Name, the only Person given to the nations whereby anyone who believes Him can be restored to wholeness and to finally, actually become human as we were created to be.

God open blind eyes and deaf ears to hear and to see God's love made visible in Jesus Christ!

 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...

 HE IS RISEN! IT IS FINISHED! After the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea by God opening the way for them to be saved, the whole of Pharoah's army, his horsemen and chariots pursued God's people into the opened way. Once they were all in, the waters flowed back into their place with suddenness and fury. Not one of the enemies survived. All perished in those waters. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all that sin contained, the full measure of the rebellion of mankind for all time, all the wickedness that was ever in human hearts were absorbed into the Lamb of God as He died our death, received our just judgement from God for all time, taking all that sin and death contained. In Him, sin and death died once and for all. They were overwhelmed, covered and drowned in the sea of His precious blood, poured out for the sin of the whole world. Not one enemy remained alive, all were stripped of their power to hold us in slavery to sin any longer. All their weapons were confis...

 CONVICTION When the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, He doesn't ask us to make it right. We can never add to what Jesus Christ has already done on the cross to deal with the totality of our sin. The Holy Spirit asks us to accept the truth, turn from sin and turn to the Lord. Then He will make it right. Remember Who our faith depends on from start to finish, that salvation is of the Lord alone. Laying aside every hindering weight and the sin that so easily trips us up (different for everyone), we are to run the race He has given us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus. He is the One upon Whom our faith depends on from start to finish. He will never run out of eyesight any more that a good shepherd would go ahead of the sheep he was leading where they couldn't see to follow. Hebrews 12:1-2 "Surrounded then as we are by a great cloud of witness to the life of faith, let us strip off everything that hinders us, as well as the sin which dogs our feet, and let us r...
