Who are you following this week?

Mark 3:11  "Whenever the evil spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, 'You are the Son of God.'"

Even the evil spirits recognized Jesus as the Son of God.  What, then, is to differentiate us from them?

We have to do two things to differentiate ourselves from the evil spirits:

1) Follow Him

2) Obey Him

A simple belief and acknowledgement of God is not enough.  To follow and obey Him means to submit ourselves to His Lordship and to allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives. 

Belief in, and acknowledgement of, who He is is an important first step, but we can't stop there.  The evil spirits acknowledged Him, but then went right back to work struggling against Him is this world.  Don't we do the same thing?  We show up at church on Sunday and acknowledge who He is.  Then we get up on Monday morning and start another week of pursuing what we want.  We spend our week following and obeying ourselves, those in a role of authority over us, the world, etc.

How would your week look different if the only one you followed and obeyed was God?
