JESUS AND BEELZEBUB

Matthew 12:22-37

22 Then they brought Him a Deon-possessed man

Who was blind and mute,

And Jesus healed him,

So that he could both talk and see.

23 All the people were Astonished and said,

'COULD THIS BE THE SON OF DAVID?'

24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said,

'IT IS ONLY BY BEELZEBUB, THE PRINCE OF DEMONS,

THAT THIS FELLOW DRIVES OUT DEMONS.'

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them,

'EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL BE RUINED,

AND EVERY CITY OR HOUSEHOLD DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF

WILL NOT STAND.

26 IF SATAN DRIVES OUT SATAN,

HE IS DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF.

HOW THEN CAN HIS KINGDOM STAND?

27 AND IF I DRIVE OUT DEMONS BY BEELZEBUB,

BY WHOM DO YOUR PEOPLE DRIVE THEM OUT?

SO THEN THEY WILL BE YOUR JUDGES.

28 BUT IF I DRIVE OUT DEMONS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD,

THEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME UPON YOU.

29 Or again, how can anyone enter a Strongman's House

And carry off his possessions

Unless he first ties up the Strong Man?

Then he can Rob his House.

30 HE WHO IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME,

AND HE WHO DOES NOT GATHER WITH ME SCATTERS.

31 AND SO I TELL YOU,

EVERY SIN AND BLASPHEMY WILL BE FORGIVEN MEN,

BUT THE BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE SPIRIT

WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN.

32 ANYONE WHO SPEAKS A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN

WILL BE FORGIVEN,

BUT ANYONE WHO SPEAKS AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT

WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN,

EITHER IN THIS AGE OR IN THE AGE TO COME.

33 MAKE A TREE GOOD AND ITS FRUIT WILL BE GOOD,

OR MAKE A TREE BAD AND ITS FRUIT WILL BE BAD,

FOR A TREE IS RECONGNIZE BY ITS FRUIT.

34 YOU BROOD OF VIPERS,

HOW CAN YOU WHO ARE EVIL SAY ANYTHING GOOD?

FOR OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF THE HEART

THE MOUTH SPEAKS

35 THE GOOD MAN BRINGS GOOD THINGS

OUT OF THE GOOD STORED UP IN HIM,

AND THE EVIL MAN BRINGS EVIL THINGS

OUT OF THE EVIL STORED UP IN HIM.

36 BUT I TELL YOU

THAT MEN WILL HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT

ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD THEY HAVE SPOKEN.

37 FOR BY YOUR WORDS YOU WILL BE ACQUITTED,

AND BY YOUR WORDS YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED.

Scripture tell us that Beelzebub

Rules this Winked World.

When Christ Jesus drove out Demons,

He was taking Satan's rulership of that person, away,

Demonstrating His control over Satan.

When people deny the work of the Holy Spirit,

They will not be Forgiven.

Those who do not gather with Christ Jesus, Scatter;

That is virtually the Whole World;

All but those who belong to Him.

A House Divided cannot Stand.

America is a House Divided

And unless this changes, America will not stand.

Those who are Evil cannot do or say anything Good,

And this is virtually the Whole World,

Because everyone who does not belong to Christ Jesus

Is Evil.

By the words people speak, they be Acquitted

Or Condemned before the Living God;

Every Careless Word will be brought into Judgment.
