We have so much to be thankful for yet so often we lose sight of this reality slipping into an alternative reality of complaining. Today we’ll see that the context of the “Table of Demons” we’ve been discussing actually involves complaining.

It is possible to rally emotional energy around an ambition that grieves the Holy Spirit. We can get so wound up emotionally we don’t even realize what’s happening.

We’ve been talking for a few months now about The Table of The Lord. We’re going to take a few weeks here to talk about what the Bible calls “The Table of Demons” with today’s topic of Human Reactions And Common Sense.

A shared meal could be the activity most closely tied to the reality of God’s kingdom, just as it is the most basic expression of hospitality. It comes as no surprise that many significant stories of Jesus are centered around a dinner table.

One of the enemies greatest tools the enemy will try to use against you is accusation against you because of your past. Many people try to protect or hide their past. God wants you to point to it giving him glory for his transforming power in your life.

God is transforming the church of our generation from a room full of consumers who listen to a minister into a room full of ministers who listen to God.

The Mayor of a town and his wife were walking down main street when she noticed a foreman on a construction site. Quietly she said to her husband, the mayor, I dated that guy in High School. The mayor smugly said, “If you would have married him instead of me you’d be married to a construction worker.” To which his wife replied, “If I would have married him, he’d be the mayor!”

Recently I saw a tiktok video where a woman found a hamburger in her closet that had been there for twenty-four years! After almost a quarter of a century the burger still looked very much in tact. The bread had never cracked or molded and the meat had never degraded. Perhaps the food industry has focused more on food as a product than they have the nourishment value of food itself.

Think about the common expressions of influence and encouragement we hear in the church world today. This is awesome! God is awesome! You are awesome! God’s going to do big things! Future so bright you need sunglasses to dream! It’s gonna be huge!
