Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit Capernaum {“Capernaum was a fishing village established during the time of the Hasmoneans, located on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It had a population of about 1,500 in the 1st century AD. Archaeological excavations have revealed two ancient synagogues built one over the other.”Capernaum sat on the northwestern coast of the Sea of Galilee about 20 miles northeast of Nazareth.} Jesus teaches with authority and drives out a demon from a man in the synagogue. The people are amazed at His authority and power, and news about Him spreads. Just think what Jesus can do through you when you pray for others. Whether you pray from your heart or eith the person. You will be able to see prayer at work in their lives. You can pray from afar. Like if someone is standing on a street corner because of hardship or a person who is in a accident far from you. Pray without ceasing. Praying without ceasing is a Christian concept that means to have a mindset of continual prayer. Here are three practical steps to pray without ceasing: Plan times for prayer. Start short and simple. Pray according to God’s will. You can pray for a dead flower to grow by cutting off the dead leaves and watering it. Prayer and action makes that flower grow back. God expects us to care for each other. He knew we couldn’t do it all. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
It reads inLuke 4:31-37 EASY>
Jesus went to a town in Galilee called Capernaum. On the Jewish day of rest, he taught the people there. The people were very surprised at the things that Jesus taught them. He spoke with authority. There was a sick man in the meeting place. He had a spirit of a bad demon that was living inside him. The spirit caused the man to shout loudly. He said, ‘Jesus from Nazareth, leave us alone! Do not destroy us! I know who you are. You are God’s Holy One!’ Jesus said to the spirit, ‘Be quiet! Come out of the man!’ Then the bad spirit caused the man to fall to the ground in front of the people. It came out of the man but it did not hurt him. All the people were very surprised and they said to each other, ‘Listen to what this man says! He has power and authority. He tells bad spirits to come out of people, and they come out.’ So they began to tell everyone about Jesus. Because of this, people in all the places near Capernaum heard the news about Jesus.
