Hearing God in Luke:
Jesus said be quiet and come out, and it left.
Today we finish Luke 4 in Capernaum, where Jesus starts proving line by
line everything He claimed back in Nazareth. A man held by a demon walks out free. A woman burning with fever gets up and makes dinner. A whole town brings its sick and He touches them one at a time. We'll look at what first-century exorcism actually looked like, why Jesus refused to let the demon talk, and one correction worth hearing if you've ever been told your illness was spiritual.
