Some more actual selah stuff

So I started reading some in Luke on Monday, because there was a verse there that I was looking for for a friend. Love you, dear! Hope it helped.....even though you don't read this??? *laughs at self* Wow.....

Okay, so I've been reading in Luke 'cuz Jesus says amazing stuff.....a lot.

Luke 11.21/22
"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils."
This verse was mentioned somewhere recently, I think it was YG, but I'm not positive. I found it, though!!! That excited me. So, what I got about this one is that God is a strong man that can't be overpowered, and we are his possessions that cannot be taken away from Him. Make sense?

Luke 11.24-26
"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first."
This was the verse that I had gone looking for. We had some rather intense spiritual warfare going on at YG last Th, including that of a demon (or more than one) being sent away. Like I said, rather intense stuff, yeah? I mentioned this verse in a bit of the aftermath, trying to urge our dear sister to fill herself with God, so that this junk doesn't happen, and another friend asked me if I found it to tell him where it was. Coolio. I love this section, because it shows that we do have to be careful and not fly high on that invincible feeling.

We're always vulnerable on our own, we have to rely on God.

Luke 11.34
"Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness."
So, you all know me pretty well, most of you know me well enough to know that I love eyes. Eyes are amazing, so when I found this it caught my immediate attention. It reminded me of something that a friend told me about his Mom. He said that she could tell when she wouldn't like a lot of bands by looking at their eyes. If their eyes were clear and bright, she would probably like the band, or at least appreciate their lyrics or something. However, if their eyes were cloudy or dull, or lifeless, she could be pretty positive that she wasn't going to like it. It shows, guys, it shows...it leads into the next verse perfectly.

Luke 11.35
"See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness."
For those of you who have taken geometry, you know what proofs are. For those of you who haven't, you've probably heard the rest of us complaining about them. Take the above verse, and reverse it.
Good eyes=light inside BECOMES Light inside=good eyes
Bad eyes=darkness inside BECOMES Darkness inside=bad eyes
When you are filled with light, it will show from your eyes. When you are filled with darkness, it will show from your eyes. It's Biblical. Amazing, but not always what we want, right?
That's when this verse ties in.
"See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness."
Make sense?

Luke 11.36
"Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you."
*looks around, whispers* God is the awesomest lamp, when He shines on you, no part of you is dark!!!! Isn't that great! I don't normally say awesome, but this is AWESOME!!!!!!
