Jesus Heals Demon-Possessed Man

Every knee will bow at the sound of His name…

Mark 5:1-8
1 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

This demon-possessed man from across the sea knee His name! Not only knew His name but was afraid of Him. How?

The enemy cringes at the mere thought of Jesus, and as you say His name, fear and and anger overtake the devil and he lashes out at us. The enemy does this by attacking our weakest areas of our lives.

The way to guard yourself and fight is to turn and run. Sounds manly huh? It is the only way. You cannot beat the enemy alone. Turn and run to Jesus. He is waiting arms open wide to protect you. Don’t be ashamed. He made you, even with all of your weakness He made you. If given to Him, He will make your weaknesses your strengths.

When you wake in the morning let the first word you say be. “Jesus!” #JesusSaves

Amen.
