*KEEP WALKING*
*READ*
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19).
*REFLECT*
According to today's text, Jesus reveals unto us two opposite powers. The first is the power given to the disciples to tread on. The second is the power of the enemy to hurt others.
Yesterday,we saw the first meaning of "to tread on". Today, we continue with the second meaning of to tread on which is " *to set down the foot or feet in walking*."
The devil hurts you in purpose. He hurts you to *stop your advancement*. He hurts you to *stop your progress*. He hurts you to *stop you from moving forward*.
But Jesus says to you ... Don't allow the hurt to stop you. Rise above it and keep walking. Rise above it and keep moving forward. And as you move forward, the devil will flee. As you advance, the devil will run away. As you progress the devil will scatter.
Shadrack, Meschak and Abed Nego were thrown in the furnace. The Bible says "they were walking" (Daniel 3:25)
David was in the valley of the shadow of death. The Bible says "he was walking" ( *Psalm 23:4*)
*CONFESSIONS AND PRAYERS*
*Confession 1* : Critics, insults, rejection, misrepresentation ... You won't make me cry. I am above you. *You won't stop me. I keep walking. I am moving forward*.
*CONFESSION 2* : Betrayal, misbehaviour, indifference, ... You won't upset me. *I am far above you. You won't stop me. I keep walking. I am moving forward.*
*CONFESSION 3* : *I rise above* that man or woman I keep a grudge against or I feel bitter about. I let you go today ... *I keep walking. I am moving forward.*
*CONFESSION 4* : " *I rise above* that bondage (of sex, of alcohol, of bang...) I have put yourself in to relieve the stress and I move forward.
So shall it be
Jesus is Lord
