Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
Mark 5:6-8 KJV
Here we see Jesus Christ approaching a man possessed with many demons but funny enough Legion saw him first and he ran to worship him. We would have expected the demons to make this man to run away from Jesus but they chose to defend their territory.
Legion worshipped Jesus and the demons in him ask Jesus a question which has so much meaning ,"why are you here to destroy us we have nothing to do with you Son of God?" they went on to plead with him in the name of God ,"
screaming out at the top of his lungs, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! Swear in God’s name that you won’t torture me!”
Mark 5:7 TPT
This story is a reflection of what is happening now .Jesus is calling you to a new life but you still want to engage earthly things . Apostle Paul said this in a better way that we must not be fashioned with the world. To reach your full potential your belief system should change ,you need to be born again that means completely erasing the old being and it's beliefs.
Some are arguing that they want to worship God but as homosexuals ,some are arguing that they want to worship God but as adulterers they are pleading using grace as an excuse. You know what happens afterwards, the demons kept begging they chose instead to inhabit pigs and all the pigs drowned. Legion was living at the cemetery a secluded place he was a cast out in the society they had tried locking him with chains but he was just too powerful for them.
He had become so attached to living in seclusion ,even after being set free he wanted to follow Jesus instead of going to his family. He was so possessed that his own family had given up on him ,I would say he was walking dead. Everyone had lost hope in him they feared him.
Are you struggling in your christian walk ?Is the dead past telling you that it is impossible to live right with God. This type of demons are so cunning they even negotiated with Jesus. Is your past telling you that you wont make it in life ?
Is your past telling you that you will never get married? Is your past telling you that you will never get a permanent job? Is your past telling you that you will never own a multimillion dollar company? The spirit of dead situations what is it communicating with you? This kind of demon makes people to avoid you ,if you get a job bosses and everyone else hates you , you get fired .
Leave the dead past to the past and be born again to be at oneness with God. Jesus once said let the dead bury themselves ,my friend you don't have any reason at all to associate yourself with people who still remind you of your past .You are now a new creature in Christ light and darkness can never be friends. Your life has been restored Legion you can go back to your family now and live a fruitful life.
You are now a new creature ,with new vision and new identity .The language itself changes when you become new creation for we know nothing is impossible for us why then are you seeking approval from people who see the impossible in everything. Let the dead bury themselves cut any ties with the cemetery mentality you deserve better .
You are immune to the sicknesses of Egypt why then do you seek advice on how to live your life from Egyptians .Be fully clothed in Christ Jesus ,resist any association with the devil. Accept your knew identity ,go into the world and set new records with Jesus Christ as your partner.
Do not forget to pray always for your life and the lives of your loved ones against this spirit .
To be continued .....
God loves you.
Shalom.
