Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
January 19, 2023: SOAP #4795: Genesis 47-48; Psalm 10; Luke 19

SCRIPTURE:  Luke (NIV) 19:47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

OBSERVATION:  During the days before His crucifixion, Jesus had a daily ministry.  He went to the temple and taught.  His teaching captivated the attention of those who listened.  They were so attentive that those desiring to kill Jesus, could find no way to disrupt Him. 

APPLICATION:  The Holy Spirit continues this teaching ministry of Jesus today.  We do not need to go to the temple in Jerusalem to hear His teaching.  The Holy Spirit will meet with us in a quiet time when our hearts and minds are open.  He will give us understanding of the scriptures.  He will recall the things Jesus has taught.  He will apply them to our daily life.  (John 14:26; 16:13-15) 

PRAYER:   Holy Spirit, You are the key to living victoriously in today’s world.  Bring to mind the words of Jesus.  Bring to mind what I have read in my Bible reading.  Bring to my mind what I have heard from anointed ministry. As we walk through this coming week, make me aware of how I can apply the Word in my daily life.  Amen.
