After receiving the Holy Spirit, the Lord led me away from the American church. He had me read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, 20th Century Martyrs- By Their Blood, Christian biographies, mission reports and Christian Testimonies through the centuries and all over the world. I saw a different church than the one I knew here. A church which suffered , but a church which lived by, was empowered by, and led by the Holy Spirit. I cried, sometimes I screamed somewhere alone so as not to scare my kids. I wept, and was terrified but also rejoiced at the same time. I saw that the book of Acts was still being written. I saw a church which loved the Word of God, loved the Lord Jesus unto death. I saw a church that forgave the most cruel sins committed against them. I saw Jesus building His kingdom. Church here became weak and sickly in comparison. Sermons pacified and brought no convictions of sin, righteousness ,or judgment. They were all psychological and even the songs seemed more praising of us than of God. I wanted what they had and drew closer to God. I wanted Him. Life became much more difficult. God taught me to pray, but also led me into the wilderness with Him. The denomination I was raised in excommunicated me. My own mother told me I was going to hell, and my husband became mentally ill. We adopted 8 kids when we were treatment foster care parents. I have heard the voice of the Lord many times and witnessed miracles. Walking with the Savior is the hardest and the highest life to live. But it will challenge everything and bring the most peace and trouble, both joy and sorrow. I have seen decades ago where we were headed. I believed David Wilkerson about America, but did not realize it would be the whole world. I went to the Lord very concerned about never denying Him with the coming persecution. He said,” You are sealed.” And I was comforted by Him. Let us all be faithful unto death.
We do not say to the Lord, " If I do this or that, you will do so and so." It is up to our Lord to do as He Pleases. Our Love, Heart, And our Obedience moves our Lord to do.his Desires for our generation and the generations to come. It has to be our Lord's final word.
Thank you Pastor Allen for the truth that you teach and preach from Scripture as it relates to the world today. May God Continue to bless you and Your World Outreach Church to give these Messages to the world.
What a privilege it is to listen to Pastor Allen's messages. A time when everything in the world is so different now. from when I grew up. His sermons always have hope; love and truth that we can carry with us. May God continue to bless him and his family, and World Outreach Church.

Me too👍🏻🙏!! I live in Pembroke Pines, FL. I stoped there 2 years ago on a Wednesday and was able to meet him and catch the service. He is so real and down to earth while at the same time being such a great leader. He speaks the truth and is bringing so many new people to the Lord. I love his teaching us how to spread the word. He told me how I can speak to my Jewish friends to drop some seeds. I summoned some strength and started speaking a bit to some. I gave them something to think about. We have the same God. The food for thought, we have been enlightened to believe the Messiah has already come. For those that have ears…may God bless and protect you Pastor 🙏
It would take more pastors like u and your ministry pastor allen so we can mature and b glad cuz GOD Always Wins It dont come easy we are nothing without Him so i say Go for it i God Always WINS!! What a great timeto b alive and not b afraid!!❤
You engage our minds, hearts and spirits with an authority that isn’t authoritarian! You put us IN the story ..and humbleness and the seeking of Him become and Are the offshoot. Praise God for you Pastor!❤
You did a wonderful job- It spoke to me with strong insight! God be praised for his word and prophecies! He wants us to be awakened so we will diligently seek Him- thanks for helping us..
I want to know why you, Pastor Allen, would say the Magi saw Jesus at the stable in Bethlehem? They found the child in Egypt and he was not a baby anymore. Where were the shepherds who tended their flocks, the sacrificial lambs, (I think that point is important to be aware of, considering Jesus was the ultimate sacrificial lamb). The Angel of God told them to come and see Him, which they did. I think that was a large part of the Christmas story that was glossed over. I am not trying to be a know it all because I don't know much. I was just surprised. I have just found you yesterday, 01/08/23, through my sister and already you have taught me so much. Thank you for allowing God to use you as s a vessel to open our eyes, hearts and mind to who God is.❤
I have often wondered if Mary or Joseph recalled the prophecy. Both of them resided in Nazareth which was home to a very devout group of Jews. Boys were educated...not just in reading and math, but in the scriptures. In grade school, they memorized the Torah. The brightest students went on to tutelage under the religious teachers, and the rest took on a trade...like the family trade. So Joseph would have been a carpenter. As for Mary, it's possible that Elizabeth reminded her of prophecy. Afterall, she was the wife of a priest...Zechariah. He would have known well the prophecies regarding the Messiah. Would have been a great comfort to Mary. During this time, there were pockets of those who had begun to talk about Messiah and anticipate His arrival. Simeon was so certain that the timing was close at hand. He yearned to see Messiah, but he was already quite old. The Spirit confirmed that he would not die without seeing God's promised One. And there was Anna, too. In the temple day and night b/c she knew the parents would bring the child to there 8 days after he was born for dedication. So at Jesus's FIRST coming, the Holy Spirit began letting certain people know the time was soon. How could it be any different concerning His 2nd coming?
Amen! I was just talking to my sister about those very things- can you imagine how Mary felt when she came to the realization that there was prophecy about her all the way back in Genesis 3:15- whether she knew this or not we know she had learned and prophetic people surrounding her- it lets me know the great and awesome role women play in God's design- past present and future!!
And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.” The Transfiguration 2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one[a] on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,[b] it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son;[c] listen to him.” 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only. 9 And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean. 11 And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” 12 And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.” Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit 14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. 16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” 17 And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.” 19 And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” 20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21 And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out[d] and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” 25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” 26 And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 29 And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”[e] Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection 30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.” 32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him. Who Is the Greatest? 33 And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us 38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name,[f] and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 For the one who is not against us is for us. 41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward. Temptations to Sin 42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,[g] it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell,[h] to the unquenchable fire.[i] 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[j] 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Lord, so many people who we grew up with in our birth townships, no longer know God. Just like what is written in the Book of Micah, regarding the children of rebellion, likened to the children of entitlement, destroying our landmarks and monuments in the name of democracy! God forbid!! Yes, Lord, we are awake and on assignments of Love, joy, faith, kindness, peace, gentleness, goodness, mercy, perseverance, and Self-control, loving our neighbors as ourselves. In Jesus name. Amen🇺🇸 🙏
That was a great, great sermon. Let me ask you something, I m guessing Clay Clark has the spirit of John the Baptist. Check it out, humm. I'm Lutheran and its really not accomplishment to be the frozen chosen. Lol . I'm always on the hunt. To look and see. Thank you so much. Also there are a great amount of people who are dying especially children, that is not a happy thing, great sadness, sorrows. Again I pondered. Thank you for expanding my mind, in such great terms
What a brilliant serves, I watch as much as I can as he is so well understood and I bless him and God will be so pleased. But suddenly over some of his messages he is making a mistake I keep hearing and that really disturb me. No where in the New Testement is there found anything about tyding. And rightly so as it was in the Old Testement for the sins offerings the 10% of all you stock and weat. When Jesus game to offer his life to die that was to forgiveness for our sin so the ten % wasn't required any more. As Paul in Corinthians 8 . 8 -13 tell you. Give and give more if you can but don't give what you don't have. It is a free offering. Please tell your truth in preaching. My God bless you teachers of the high God.
Some Pharisees and teachers of religious law now arrived from Jerusalem to see Jesus. They asked him, 2 “Why do your disciples disobey our age-old tradition? For they ignore our tradition of ceremonial hand washing before they eat.” 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God? 4 For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[a] and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’ 6 In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents.[c] And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, 8 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’[d]” 10 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “Listen,” he said, “and try to understand. 11 It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” 12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you realize you offended the Pharisees by what you just said?” 13 Jesus replied, “Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted, 14 so ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch.” 15 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable that says people aren’t defiled by what they eat.” 16 “Don’t you understand yet?” Jesus asked. 17 “Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer. 18 But the words you speak come from the heart-that’s what defiles you. 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. 20 These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you.” The Faith of a Gentile Woman 21 Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Gentile[e] woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.” 23 But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.” 24 Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep-the people of Israel.” 25 But she came and worshiped him, pleading again, “Lord, help me!” 26 Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.” 27 She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.” 28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed. Jesus Heals Many People 29 Jesus returned to the Sea of Galilee and climbed a hill and sat down. 30 A vast crowd brought to him people who were lame, blind, crippled, those who couldn’t speak, and many others. They laid them before Jesus, and he healed them all. 31 The crowd was amazed! Those who hadn’t been able to speak were talking, the crippled were made well, the lame were walking, and the blind could see again! And they praised the God of Israel. Jesus Feeds Four Thousand 32 Then Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, or they will faint along the way.” 33 The disciples replied, “Where would we get enough food here in the wilderness for such a huge crowd?” 34 Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have?” They replied, “Seven loaves, and a few small fish.” 35 So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to the disciples, who distributed the food to the crowd. 37 They all ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food. 38 There were 4,000 men who were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children. 39 Then Jesus sent the people home, and he got into a boat and crossed over to the region of Magadan
Wake up everybody and understand what your true callings are. Isaiah 54 ❤ More are the children of the desolate than the married woman. Proverb women lets go! Halalujah ❣️🇺🇸 The heritage of the Saints is written in this Holy Bible.. Do your children see you reading the Bible Daily? Folly and her children are watching soap operas, wasting time on social media!

Let’s say to the Lord, “I’ll cooperate with You so Your purposes can make a difference-not only in my life, but in the generation coming behind me.”
After receiving the Holy Spirit, the Lord led me away from the American church. He had me read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, 20th Century Martyrs- By Their Blood, Christian biographies, mission reports and Christian Testimonies through the centuries and all over the world. I saw a different church than the one I knew here. A church which suffered , but a church which lived by, was empowered by, and led by the Holy Spirit. I cried, sometimes I screamed somewhere alone so as not to scare my kids. I wept, and was terrified but also rejoiced at the same time. I saw that the book of Acts was still being written. I saw a church which loved the Word of God, loved the Lord Jesus unto death. I saw a church that forgave the most cruel sins committed against them. I saw Jesus building His kingdom. Church here became weak and sickly in comparison. Sermons pacified and brought no convictions of sin, righteousness ,or judgment. They were all psychological and even the songs seemed more praising of us than of God. I wanted what they had and drew closer to God. I wanted Him. Life became much more difficult. God taught me to pray, but also led me into the wilderness with Him. The denomination I was raised in excommunicated me. My own mother told me I was going to hell, and my husband became mentally ill. We adopted 8 kids when we were treatment foster care parents. I have heard the voice of the Lord many times and witnessed miracles. Walking with the Savior is the hardest and the highest life to live. But it will challenge everything and bring the most peace and trouble, both joy and sorrow.

Desires for our generation and the generations to come. It has to be our Lord's final word.
Do you know how long I've been praying to hear a word/message l😅Ike this?
I asked Jesus to ride with me the other day in a snowstorm. I asked Him to protect my truck and everyone around me. He did.

I wonder how many people did some math on when Jesus was born and the marriage of Mary and Joseph. If it had happened nowadays there would have been .
And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”
The Transfiguration
2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one[a] on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,[b] it is good that we are here.

And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”
Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. 16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” 17 And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid.

Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection
30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.” 32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Who Is the Greatest?
33 And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name,[f] and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 For the one who is not against us is for us. 41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.
Temptations to Sin
42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,[g] it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell,[h] to the unquenchable fire.[i] 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire.[j] 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
John 1 v23 John was perfectly aware the the prophecy in Isaiah was about him.
Lord, so many people who we grew up with in our birth townships, no longer know God. Just like what is written in the Book of Micah, regarding the children of rebellion, likened to the children of entitlement, destroying our landmarks and monuments in the name of democracy! God forbid!!
Yes, Lord, we are awake and on assignments of Love, joy, faith, kindness, peace, gentleness, goodness, mercy, perseverance, and Self-control, loving our neighbors as ourselves. In Jesus name. Amen🇺🇸 🙏
John knew the prophecy in Isaiah was about him, John 1-23
At the time of John baptizing were there also Gentiles being baptized and if so did they know about prophecy that the Jews were taught .
John only preached to the Jews. So did Jesus for that matter. He said I came into my own and they didn’t receive me “.
Always remember that every teaching must have a direct teaching in the Bible.
That was a great, great sermon. Let me ask you something, I m guessing Clay Clark has the spirit of John the Baptist. Check it out, humm. I'm Lutheran and its really not accomplishment to be the frozen chosen. Lol . I'm always on the hunt. To look and see. Thank you so much. Also there are a great amount of people who are dying especially children, that is not a happy thing, great sadness, sorrows. Again I pondered. Thank you for expanding my mind, in such great terms
What a brilliant serves, I watch as much as I can as he is so well understood and I bless him and God will be so pleased. But suddenly over some of his messages he is making a mistake I keep hearing and that really disturb me. No where in the New Testement is there found anything about tyding. And rightly so as it was in the Old Testement for the sins offerings the 10% of all you stock and weat. When Jesus game to offer his life to die that was to forgiveness for our sin so the ten % wasn't required any more. As Paul in Corinthians 8 . 8 -13 tell you. Give and give more if you can but don't give what you don't have. It is a free offering. Please tell your truth in preaching. My God bless you teachers of the high God.
New Beginning 2024 🌎🇺🇸🆘🙏
Some Pharisees and teachers of religious law now arrived from Jerusalem to see Jesus. They asked him, 2 “Why do your disciples disobey our age-old tradition? For they ignore our tradition of ceremonial hand washing before they eat.”
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God? 4 For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[a] and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’ 6 In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents.[c] And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote,
8 ‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
9 Their worship is a farce,
for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’[d]”
10 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “Listen,” he said, “and try to understand. 11 It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you realize you offended the Pharisees by what you just said?”
13 Jesus replied, “Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted, 14 so ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch.”
15 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable that says people aren’t defiled by what they eat.”
16 “Don’t you understand yet?” Jesus asked. 17 “Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer. 18 But the words you speak come from the heart-that’s what defiles you. 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. 20 These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you.”
The Faith of a Gentile Woman
21 Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Gentile[e] woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.”
23 But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.”
24 Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep-the people of Israel.”
25 But she came and worshiped him, pleading again, “Lord, help me!”
26 Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.”
27 She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.”
28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.
Jesus Heals Many People
29 Jesus returned to the Sea of Galilee and climbed a hill and sat down. 30 A vast crowd brought to him people who were lame, blind, crippled, those who couldn’t speak, and many others. They laid them before Jesus, and he healed them all. 31 The crowd was amazed! Those who hadn’t been able to speak were talking, the crippled were made well, the lame were walking, and the blind could see again! And they praised the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds Four Thousand
32 Then Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, or they will faint along the way.”
33 The disciples replied, “Where would we get enough food here in the wilderness for such a huge crowd?”
34 Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have?”
They replied, “Seven loaves, and a few small fish.”
35 So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to the disciples, who distributed the food to the crowd.
37 They all ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food. 38 There were 4,000 men who were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children. 39 Then Jesus sent the people home, and he got into a boat and crossed over to the region of Magadan
Was the "star" from God or Satan ? I thought it was Satan, to show Herod where the baby Jesus was so he could kill him .
Wake up everybody and understand what your true callings are.
