Running with Jesus

Luke 8: 27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

                Jesus and His disciples reached the other side after that stormy night just like we do also!

 First thing out of the boat, they met up with this man who had been demons possessed for a long time, wearing no clothes and did not live in a house but in a cemetery.

                I am here to tell you spiritually that was the way I lived my Christian life defeated and driven by the voices of demons and lived in the grave for so many years.   God calls us out of darkness into light. This town was a wealthy, prosperous town many were educated and lived in fine homes. I read this could have at one time been an upstanding man in the community but lost everything.  Sometimes we have to lose to gain. Sometimes we have to get down to look up.

                  I find it interesting how this man gets delivered and wants to run with Jesus but in the next trek we will find some rich people wanting to run Jesus out of town. Do you think this man knew Jesus would run His way that day? No an unexpected thing happened. H e got delivered!   Maybe some of you are having one of those demon driven days and feel like you are in a tomb!  Jesus is running your way this morning! He wants you to be still and know He is God. Stop yelling and get up put your clothes on and get busy doing kingdom work. God loves you! We can't change our past but Jesus can change our future. You have listened to the voice of the devil too long! 

                Listen to God's voice; before you were born I made you. I know the plans I have for you to give you a future and hope, you are created in my image, and you were knitted in your mother’s womb and I knew you! 

               If you are going to run with Jesus, you must learn to discern His voice. Jesus wants to call you out of that tomb into a life He has for you!   We can overcome by the blood of the Lamb!

Father, I thank You for running our way. We want to run with You and not run You out of town. Help my friends to feel Your love, joy, peace and deliverance today! Help them not listen to the lies of the demons.

Sorry if you don't believe they are real! The Bible doesn't lie. WAKE UP CHURCH!  They whisper in your ears! 

Tomorrow: Jesus leaves after not being received!
