DAILY HOMILIES #authority

esus did not teach like the scribes, rather He taught as one who had authority; Jesus taught as God because He knew who He is. When we don’t know who we are, we behave like slaves and allow others to push us around. More still, when in the name of sexual pleasure or in the quest for material riches, we sell ourselves to the devil we become so entangled in sin that our heart becomes hardened and we feel hopeless. If today you hear God speaking to your heart, do not remain in darkness.

In John 4:4 we read: “Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”

Quite sadly, we live in an age of fake prophets; prophets who see visions according to the size of people’s pockets. Prophets merely committed to making people feel good at all costs. Let us avoid becoming such false prophets.
