For you say that I cast\n out demons by Beelzebul. ...\n 20 But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out\n demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon\n you.'' (ESV)\n\n Jesus had cast out a demon from a man. Many who saw this\n example of His power over evil suggested that this was a trick,\n that Jesus was a fraud who was in league with the prince of\n demons.\n\n But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, ``Every\n kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a\n divided household falls. And if Satan also is divided\n against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you\n say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. ... But if it\n is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then\n the kingdom of God has come upon you.''\n\n\n It is absurd to think that the devil would want people to\n think that he was unable to resist the power of Jesus.\n Throughout history it has been shown time and again that a nation\n experiencing a civil war is ripe for defeat if attacked by an\n enemy. Although Saint Luke did not comment on the words of the\n demon who was cast out, other times the demons fought and cursed\n Jesus as He overpowered them. The demons were terrified of\n Jesus, which would not be the case if this was a show being put\n on by the devil for some unknown reason.\n\n When we see the power of God, we should acknowledge that\n power. When we hear of God's grace, we should not doubt His love\n and mercy. When we understand that He is our refuge and strength\n in times of trouble, we should not turn away from Him.\n\n May our Lord grant us eyes to see His love as demonstrated\n by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 26, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3075"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3076,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3075\/revisions\/3076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
