24th Strategy.
Jesus Speaks.

• Pray for God to open your heart to hear a new word from Him today.
• Read the entire passage.
• Re-read only the words that are written in red. These words signify words that were said by Jesus Christ, himself. Aloud. In this world. Granted the entire Bible are His Words. He, through His Spirit has spoken them. But, these are just a bit different.
• As you re-read the words spoken by Jesus imagine He is speaking and you are there.
• Then read the passage surrounding those words.
• Ask God to show you what He wants you to see.
• Now re-read the entire passage one more time.
• Don't forget to thank Him for being with you.
• Don't forget to thank Him for answering.

53. When Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations, he left that part of the country.
54. He returned to Nazareth, his hometown. When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was amazed and said.
"Where does he get this wisdom and the power to do miracles?"
55. Then they scoffed, "He's just the carpenter's son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers — James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.
56. All his sisters live right here among us. Where did he learn all these things?"
57. And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.

Then Jesus told them, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family."
58. And so he did only a few miracles there because of their disbelief.
Matthew 13:53-58 NLT
