But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man casts out demons only by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons. And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, “Any kingdom divided against it is laid waste; and any city or house divided against it will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? If I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can anyone enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
Revelation and discernment is the ability to see the work of God and attribute it to Him. Failure to have revelation or discernment is seeing the work of God and attributing it to him, but instead labeling it as counterfeit. God has obviously blinded the religious Jewish leaders as in this episode the pit their faces against God himself. Later on we will see that they will be excluded from the Kingdom of God, because they nether know him or love him.
Daily Prayer: Father all things work according to your good hand. I should not become upset when things that I see and unpleasing to me, but instead I should know that all things work together for good to those who love you and are called by you. Amen.
