Luke 4: 31-37

(Luke 4: 31-37) And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.  And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.  And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,  Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.  And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.  And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

Jesus made disciples of Peter and Andrew, the fishermen, and James and John, sons of the three generations. They were all fishermen. The word fisherman means people who catch fish, but become fishermen who catch man. Fishing means getting caught with bait. In order to save the spirits who have left the kingdom of God and have come to this world, fishermen appear. It shows that the salvation of the spirit is like fishing.

Jesus taught in the synagogue and preached the gospel of Heaven. The synagogue was where the Israelites taught and learned the law. So naturally the Jews gathered together. There Jesus preached the gospel of Heaven. The gospel of heaven is to repent and return to the kingdom of God. Repentance means that it is sin that leaves God, and repent of sin and return to God. Jesus healed many sick people in the early days of ministry. So rumors spread. He tells us that all who have left God are trapped in this world. There is darkness because everyone is trapped. That is why Jesus make to see those who cannot see.

In Matthew 16:24『Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.』 Here Jesus says two things. The first is, "Deny yourself." Denying oneself is the condition of repentance, because if one does not deny himself, one cannot be born again. "Self" is the soul formed from the flesh that received from the parents. When you deny this in front of the Word of God, you receive a body of spirit from God as a gift. That is why the spirit comes to life. Being a spiritual being. The Bible refers to spiritual beings as saints. When you enroll in the church and register, you are called a saint, but unless you are born again, you cannot become a saint.

People that born again can become a fisherman for man. He who can carry his cross cannot cross without being born again. When Jesus was on the cross, the disciples all fled because they were not born again. However, the resurrected Jesus visited the disciples and made them realize, and the disciples repented and were born again. The one born again carries his cross is taken with Jesus.

Being born again is not a change of mind in the body, but a state in which the previous body dies and is reborn as a spirit body. There are two bodies. It is a visible body and an invisible body. Jesus is to deny the visible body. That is why the mind of the body and the mind of the spirit are fighting each other. If you are not born again, you will not be saved. You have to deny yourself to be born again. And the one who denies him will take his cross with Jesus.

A wonderful work takes place when a born again person carries his cross with Jesus, preaches and teaches the gospel.『 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 』(Matthew 4: 23-24)

The fake gospel is spreading today. Satan is making every effort to prevent this. The Saints must find the lost sheep by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is to make sinners repent and return. Today the gospel of repentance is disappearing. The church does not speak of repentance, but preaches the fake gospel in a way that saves you if you believe in Jesus.

Luke 1: 39-56

(Luke 1: 39-56) And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me grea...

Luke 1: 27-38

(Luke 1: 27-38) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:...

Luke 1: 1-26

(Luke 1: 1-26) Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his cour...
