Matthew 9:32-34 ( Jesus😊1st❤ heals ❤a man unable to speak) "32 As they were away, behold, a demon-oppressed man who was mute was brought to him(Jesus😊1st❤). 33 And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds maveled, saying, " Never was anything like this seen in Israel." 34 But the Pharisees said, " He cast out demons by the prince of demons."( Matthew 9:32-34 ESV Study Bible.) Give us another angle in Christ to look at the same Scripture from Luke the Biblical doctor in Christ in Luke 11:14-23(Jesus😊1st❤ and Beelzehul( no good)) and Amen to Luke 11:20 😊❤ in Christ😊❤ and I trust the Prince of Peace( Isaiah 9:6b) in Christ. Luke 11:20 " 20But if it is the finger of God(😊100%❤) that I cast out demons, then the kingdom😊❤ of God(😊100%❤ or God's kingdom😊❤) has come upon you (😊❤ 😊❤😊❤😊 ❤😊 ❤😊 ❤😊 ❤u)"( Luke 10:20 ESV Study Bible) Luke 11:14-20 "14 Now he was casting out a demon that was a mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, " He casts out demons by Beelzehul, the prince of demons, " 16 While others, to test him( Jesus😊1s5❤= Isaiah 53:5b= Prince of Peace😊❤), keep seeking from him( Jesus😊1st❤) a sign from heaven. 17 But he(Jesus😊1st❤), knowing their thoughts, said to them, " Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast our demon by Beelzehul( no good). 19 And If I cast out demons by Beelzehul( no good), by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20But if it is the finger of God(😊100%❤) that I cast out demons, then the kingdom😊❤ of God(😊100%❤ or God's kingdom😊❤) has come upon you (😊❤ 😊❤😊❤😊 ❤😊 ❤😊 ❤😊 ❤u)"( Luke 10:20 ESV Study Bible) 21 When a stronger man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his good are safe; 22 but when a stronger than he attacks him and overcome him, he take away his armor in which he trusted and divided his spoil. ( Jesus said.) 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."( Luke 11:14-23 ESV Study Bible) Again i love ❤😊 what Jesus(😊1st❤= Prince of Peace( Isaiah 53:5, 5b) said in Luke 11:20 Luke 11:20 " 20But if it is the finger of God(😊100%❤) that I cast out demons, then the kingdom😊❤ of God(😊100%❤ or God's kingdom😊❤) has come upon you (😊❤ 😊❤😊❤😊 ❤😊 ❤😊 ❤😊 ❤u)"( Luke 10:20 ESV Study Bible)

Genesis 24:29-33 "29 Rebekah had a brother who name is Laban. Laban ran out toward the man, to the spring. 30 As soon as he saw the ring and the brancelets on his sister's arm, and heard the words of Rebekah his sister, " Thus the man spoken to me," he( Laban) went to the man( the oldest servant of Abraham😊❤) . And behold, he( the servant) was standing by the camels at the spring. 31 He( Laban😊❤ ) said, " Come in, O blessed of the LORD.Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and a place for the Camels." 32 So the man( the servant😊❤ of Abraham😊❤) came to the house and unharassesed the camels, and gave straw and fodder to the camels, and there was water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him( the servant)."( ESV Study Bible By God's grace( Ephesians 2:8:) ) has find my New Testament Scripture in John 13:10 but for your sake i go backward a little in Christ in John 13:7-8-9-10-11 under the context of John 13:8-20( Jesus washes the disciples' feet) in Jesus'name, i pray( John 13:10 " 10 Jesus😊1st❤ said to him( Peter 😊❤), " The one who had bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet😊❤ , but is completely clean😊❤, but not every one of you."

"8 Peter😊❤ said to him( Jesus😊1st❤) , " You shall never wash my feet." Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him, " If i do not wash you😊❤, you have no share with me." 9Simon Peter😊❤ said to him(Jesus😊1st❤), " Lord(Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord in Christ😊❤ ) not my feet 😊❤😊❤ only but also😊❤ my hands😊❤ 😊❤ and my head😊❤! " 10 Jesus😊1st❤ said to him( Peter 😊❤), " The one who had bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet😊❤ , but is completely clean😊❤, but not every one of you." 11 For he ( Jesus😊1st❤) knew who was to betray him; that why he said, " Not all of you are clean."( John 13:7-11 ESV ESV Study Bible) Is your feet clean today? Speaking of feet, Do you remember Ephesians 6:10-20 ( The whole armor😊❤ of God😊100%❤) more specifically to Ephesians 6:15 😊❤ again for your sake i go backward and forward to Ephesians 6:14-15😊❤-16-17 Ephesians 6:14-17 "14 Stand( with our feet😊❤) therefore, having fastened on the belt 😊❤ of truth😊❤ and having put on😊❤ the breastplate 😊❤ of righteousness😊❤,"( ESV Study Bible) ( here it comes😊❤) "15 And as shoes for you feet 😊❤ 😊❤, having put on readness😊❤ given 😊❤ by the gospel😊❤ of peace😊❤. 16 In all 😊❤( " all " means all circumstances) circumstances😊❤ take up 😊❤ the shelf of faith, with which you( "you 😊❤ " back then and we😊❤ today too in Christ ) can extinguish😊❤ all the flaming darts of the evil one( no good); 17 and take😊❤ the helmet😊❤ ( you might ask "of" what) of salvation😊❤, and the sword😊❤( spiritual sword😊❤) of the Spirit(😊❤), which is word😊❤ of God( 😊100%❤)."( Ephesians 6:14-17 ESV Study Bible) I will get back to Ephesians 6:10-20 again in the future in Christ.
