Just a ‘commoner’? Matt. 13: 57b – 58
But Jesus said to them,
A prophet is not without honor [treated with disrespect and refused to be accepted]
except in his own country and in his own house. [a ‘commoner’ – an ordinary / average person]
And He did not do many works of power [miracles] there,
because of their unbelief (their lack of faith, doubt or skepticism in the divine mission of Jesus).

Pray the Word:

Pray the Word:
Lord, we, too, are living in a time where Jesus Christ has become ‘common’-place and just a mere symbol of Christianity. This lethargic attitude generates unbelief and prevents the power of the Holy Spirit from being sent down to bless us. We know that You require faith [belief] and hear only the prayers of faith [belief]; and where there’s little true belief, and prayer is cold and formal - we sleep in spiritual death and are unblessed. We ask forgiveness for any lethargy we have succumbed to and a renewed passion to You, our Lord!

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
