“When Jesus climbed out of the boat, a man possessed by an evil spirit came out from the cemetery to meet Him… When Jesus was still some distance away, the man saw Him, ran to meet Him and bowed low before Him. With a shriek, he screamed, “Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In the name of God, I beg you, don’t torture me!” For Jesus had already said to the spirit, “Come out of the man, you evil spirit.””

Mark 5:2,6-8

As you start a new day, why not remind yourself that there is no power of hell, no evil spirit and no scheme of man, that can ever compare to the power of Jesus or that can ever separate us from His love. We serve the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Name above all other names. Even, according to this story in Mark 5, the evil spirits know how great Jesus was and is.

Notice that Mark says in verse 6, that even while Jesus was some way off, the demon ran and fell at His feet, begging Jesus to not torture him. This demon, legion, because there were many inside this man, knew that Jesus was not just a storm quieter, He was the Son of God! The demon, trembled before Jesus, like a weak helpless defeated prisoner. Just by Jesus’ presence, victory was won because He was and is greater than everything demonic. He is POWER. He is STRENGTH. And you are His child!!

Whatever you are facing, invite Jesus into it and see Him change the situation by the strength of His mighty power. He can calm storms, move mountains and set the captives free. He is Jesus Christ. He speak and demon flee.
