S – Amazement came over them all, and they were saying to one another, “What is this message? For he commands the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out!” ³⁷ And news about him began to go out to every place in the vicinity. 

Luke 4:36–37 CSB

O – Commentary: 

What authority and power this man’s words possess! Magicians and exorcists often used elaborate rituals and incantations. The people were amazed that Jesus merely spoke a word on his own authority and cast out the demon.

“News” – ēchŏs,a loud or confused noise (“echo”), i.e. roar; fig. a rumor:— fame, sound

  The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words 

Just the words of Jesus brought freedom and deliverance.  I love there was a “roar” about him.

A – Jesus gives us the same power and authority today.  Out of our relationship with Him, we can speak His promises and by faith see results.  We are vessels of God’s power flowing through us.

R – Heavenly Father, we invite Your Holy Spirit to work in us today.  Start with us and forgive us of anything that hinders our relationship with you.  Give us a fresh anointing of Your presence and power.  Help our faith in following your lead.  You receive all the glory.
