Luke 5:11 — And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

We must FORSAKE and FOLLOW.

All to Jesus I surrender,

All to Him I freely give; 

I will ever love and trust Him,

 In His presence daily live.

 I surrender all, I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior,

I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender, 

Humbly at His feet I bow; 

Worldly pleasures all forsaken, 

Take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender, 

Make me, Savior, wholly Thine; 

Let me feel the Holy Spirit, 

Truly know that Thou art mine.

All to Jesus I surrender,

 Lord, I give myself to Thee; 

Fill me with Thy love and power, 

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

All to Jesus I surrender, 

Now I feel the sacred flame;

 Oh, the joy of full salvation! 

Glory, glory, to His Name!

 I surrender all, I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Savior,

I surrender all.

Acts 19

10 This continued for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

11 God worked powerful miracles by the hands of Paul.

12 So handkerchiefs or aprons he had touched were brought to the sick, and the diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists invoked the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We command you to come out in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

14 There were seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva doing this.

15 The evil spirit answered, “I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?”

16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was jumped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.

17 This became known to all Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus. And fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

18 Many who believed came confessing and telling their deeds.

19 Many who practiced magic brought their books together and burned them before everyone. They calculated their value, which equaled fifty thousand drachmas.

20 So the word of the Lord powerfully grew and spread.

Some people do not like to hear much of repentance; but I think it is so necessary that if I should die in the pulpit, I would desire to die preaching repentance, and if out of the pulpit I would desire to die practicing it.

— Matthew Henry

I will kill you if you ever come near me again.

Jesus loves you Nicky.

We must know Jesus for ourselves.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 — When the wicked one appears, Satan will pretend to work all kinds of miracles, wonders, and signs. Lost people will be fooled by his evil deeds. They could be saved, but they will refuse to love the truth and accept it.

We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road. The man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
