Luke Chapter 8 Discussion Page 3

"..how great things God hath done unto thee.." (cont.) Peter and the other Apostles never went around talking about their past lives of sin and uncleanness; but they expounded the Scriptures by the wisdom and understanding God had given them through the Spirit and preached that men should repent. No one is going to get saved by listening to the catalog of a man's past sins, but by preaching Jesus!

"Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him." On the subject of testifying to others "how great things God hath done" unto us; we have to speak of the things we KNOW, just like this man KNEW that Jesus had healed him! Everyone could see the evidence in his life!

Who gets transformed? Those who hear the word from the fertile ground of faith. What is faith? The turning away from the pleasures of this world for they are not blessings from God but devices of the Devil. Look how many devils entered into Legion: enoigh to drown a herd of swine! Who has faith to be healed? Those who humble themselves, not boasters, those self congradulators who lead us.

BSP; Good words! "He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man" the good seed is the word of God sown into our hearts. We must have a good and honest heart to receive the word right so that it will sprout and grow in us and come to maturity and bear good fruit unto God. We are known by our fruit; our fruit is to be in the image and likeness of God: that's how it is known that we are men! Gen. 1:26

Verse 11: The word of God is likened to a seed. We must get this seed deep down into our hearts in order for it to produce fruitage.

Verse 45: Since Jesus had to ask who touched him, this indicates that Jehovah God saw the woman and he used the power that he had given Jesus to heal her.

We learned in verse 1 that Jesus "went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God". So, He did not miss out any city or village to avoid the excuse that they did not have the opportunity to hear the Word, see the miracles and see the Saviour in action. Today, we also have no excuse as the Word is now preached throughout the world.

This chapter seems to have a special devotion to how the Lord cares for women and girls. It opens with mentioning how "many" "ministered unto Him of their substance;" and then finishes with showing how that Jesus knows who is touching Him in Faith; and about WHO is all the joy and meaning in their parents' life, and that the Lord is not willing to take her away from them. We learn a lot by these!

"And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities . . which ministered unto him of their substance." There are many references to women in the early Church; and what they did, and how important they were. There were no women called to be Apostles; and it was understood as God's commandment, that they not teach, nor dominate over men. But they helped in many ways with honor!

Vs. 17 was recently applied to domestic violence, or marriage tyranny. These seem to be very private issues, and many times people try to hide these problems. However,t his brings comfort that Jehovah God is aware of all things, and will bring justice upon those who are evil to their marriage mates.

To Lou Charles - another way to view Jesus saying, :Tell no one" is - he knew they would - and His desire was for His people to be witnesses; reverse phsycology.

Jesus shows His deity in this chapter first He shows His power over the sea, then He shows His power over the spirits, then He shows His power over disease and sickness, then He shows His power over death.

I love the whole chapter. All He wants us to do is have faith, know that he can do the impossible. This is a teaching of how to have faith. Trust in the Lord, and don't lean to your own understanding.

This illustration shows the importance of listening to what we read in God's Word and making sure that we apply it in our lives.

Lou Charles, the reason Jesus would tell people that is he attempted to control his fame in order to minimize the effects of the enemies of the gospel or his work of salvation on planet earth. Glory be to God in the highest through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen!

I love this bible verse I was in church and the pastor was preaching on this and it made me get up and join church that day and iam a changed women and I love it

This is a great bible verse

I love from verse 43 the woman with the issue of blood, and the way she got healed, a lot of us give up,but she did not give up she pressed through the crowd and the result was her healing, thank God..so we ought to press through and never give up for God was able then and certainly he is able now,.....

Question. Why did Jesus say to tell no one ,I always wonder why, what he dose is something goo

It was lovely to me read this verse about healing and making me more and more believed about the healing . As read this verse this morning I have believe right now that have received my healing by the strips of Jesus of Christ of Nazrenth I am healed. Amen

I like it, it shows how GOD can teach his people.
Also he demostratse that GOD loves his chrildren, by healing them .

vs 50-Fear is natural. Faith is Spiritual. If we're to be successful in our relationships with Christ, the commission given us by Christ, and recipients of the promises of Christ, we must learn to allow the Spiritual (Spirit of God

thank you JESUS YOU AWAYS DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU WILL DO.

Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

The Master of Teachers of the Holy Scriptures is the Most Powerfull teacher of all Ages. His teaching are the very truth. No one could have thaught better than He thaught. His From the Beggining of Creation and existed before Creation for that cause He know better than any human that have existed upone the Surface of The Earth. His Teaching on Luke 8 is the exact truth. no one could have put it better than He did. Amen And Amen

The reason Jesus took Peter, James, and John was because they were the faith men. Jesus could have no doubt and unbelief during the healing because it could impede the miracle.

why was it always peter,james and john that JESUE took with him?

The Word of God is the must be our Daily Bread, Our body is strong and Healthy and not be hit of any sickness if we eat healthy food. The word of God is like unto it, if feed our spirit with the Word of God we can resist and over come temptations and trials in our life. God Bless
