Jesus SPEAKS and…
.
…turns water to wine.
.
…teaches a world-changing way of life.
.
…tells stories.
.
…fulfills and simplifies a complicated law.
.
…calms the storm.
.
…qualifies the called.
.
…asks questions.
.
.
.
.
Jesus takes things that seem to be in opposition, and brings them together in a way that only Jesus can do.
.
.
Jesus is always
and GOING to people…
…but He is also consistently
in prayer.

Mark 1:32-34
That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.

“Some want to live their whole lives within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.”

What might God be calling you to that is requiring you to take a risk or to step out in boldness?

Mark 1:35
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

Prayer is our greatest offensive weapon against the forces of evil in our lives, in our homes, and in this world.
