Jesus name we pray.
Glory, glory, glory, glory, Amen. Praise God. We got uh a technical glitch here, but thank you for staying with us and welcome back in Jesus mighty name. We are still in Mark chapter 5 looking at the landscape that Isaiah saw the valley shall be exalted. And then in verse 5 says, "And the glory of God shall be seen." So I will wind down because of Yeah, I believe we we've been eating good stuff.
Glory to God. Amen. So I will wind down. I think um we will hear about Samson the other day. I am so excited about where we are now. I wanted to tell you more about Samson and teleporting and others. But hey, let's wind down and finish this in Jesus mighty name.
And so they were afraid when they saw him. So I was still emphasizing that if you are going to depend on people to affirm and confirm the changes in your life, you may wait too long because they may not be free. Can you imagine your soul is delivered and you are looking for confirmation from one whose soul is in bondage.
What confidence? What contribution?
And so they were afraid of him. That's what the Bible says. H people were afraid of him. The Bible tells us that people will not even pass by that way. They're afraid of him when he's made. Now he's in his right mind. They are still afraid of him. Which means if he gauge his freedom on the basis of the disappearance of their fear, he might wait forever. If he says, "I want to gauge if I am free by you, how you relate with me. If you are no longer afraid of me, then I know I'm free." He will never be free because they are not free yet he is free.
Who are the people you are looking at to confirm your freedom?
And you are looking for their approval whether you are free. whom son says free is free indeed. If he says you are free, you are free indeed.
So they were afraid and they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil and also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. They offer prayer. They are praying that Jesus lives. You say please leave the place. This prayer the master understood that it is also under the influence of the spirits he cast out. Because the spirits you cast out, they can turn around and find willing agents and people and use them to do what we call counter attack. Now the difference here is this. Why Jesus is going to leave willingly? It's because you have to know how to deal with evil spirits that are oppressing people. And you must know how to deal with evil spirits which people are cooperating with. It's not the same.
Amen.
This man, he was possessed. These things were controlling him. But he's in his heart of heart that 10% he want to worship Jesus. He want to live for him. But in this case of the people having seen this man in his state as a madman and they see him after deliverance and they are the ones telling the one who helped him and helped them where they used to feed their swine. They have learned to travel far because they are afraid of the fertile lands which this man has occupied in his madness. Now Jesus has helped delivered their fields and they will not see that. So to argue with such an individual it's not permitted spiritual. We are not permitted to argue with people who cooperate with spirits willingly. We will be wasting our time, our energy and will be bruised. Those who want spirits, unclean spirits, they can have them. just not in our midst. They can have them just not around us.
Amen.
So these people is what you will call devil harvesters. Do you know what are devil harvesters? It's people that wants devils when others are being delivered. Those are devil harvesters.
It's people that go to crusades because they heard that a lot of people are bringing cigarette and they're bringing uh bottles and when they get there they say no I'm here to take these things and go and throw them away and they are gathering them. [Music] These are people when they hear people are bringing soma things to be bent they are the ones say how can you bend such a thing from I went to lutu looking for this I didn't get it I went to Zambia I didn't get it you got it now you are giving it to this little preacher such a such a valuable thing what are you thinking there are people who see value in waste And therefore they harvest when others are being delivered.
This uh devil harvest users. They harvested them. The things that were in the man went into the pigs went into the sea. Some was projected into the city has come with willing. People that uh cooperate, willing cooperators have come to chase the one who came to deliver their country from that which terrorized them. And they have the guts to tell him, "Leave this place, my friend." Instead of saying can you stay here like the Samaritans when that woman told them I saw a man and they came and heard him they said to him stay with us for a couple of days and they turn to the woman and say we believe because you told us but now we are hearing him ourselves. How can you chase away a man that came to help you from that which terrorized you? Those are only devil harvesters and there's plenty of them. Simeon of Samaria was one of those. He was a devil harvester. When he terrorized that community and bewitched them as the spirits were coming out exposing his activities, he went to join so that he can harvest you can harvest to back. That's exactly what they are doing this ones.
And when he was coming to the sheep, you see that's verse 18. You see Jesus when they said he must leave, he didn't argue with them. But he knew that these spirits that have come, this man is going to deal with them because he has empowered him, but he has also taught him about himself. So when he was coming to the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. So he's asking him, "Can I be with you?" That wandering attitude is not yet changed because it's a habit. It's a behavior. You can be delivered but the behavior the habit you need to retrain yourself. He prayed it. How bad Jesus suffered him not. He didn't allow him. He didn't permit him. He refused the request. for his own good. He knows this gentleman's problem was wondering his problem was not able to sit down in one place. You know sometimes keeping one job, staying in one place, you must do it also for your confidence and confirmation that you are normal.
Glory. There are people who don't stay in one church. You know that they are here few months maybe a year they are there. They're there. They're there. They're there. Why? Why are you all over the place? Well, I'm still looking for a church. If all the churches you have been to up to five, they are not perfect for you, why don't you open your own? Because you know you won't keep it. You are unstable. You can't keep it. That's why you don't open your own. It's very simple. If you are not happy in five churches, open your own and model it the way you desired those five to have been. And they see how long it will last. But you see that individual knows they are unstable. And such kind of people if you check them, I'm telling you these are marks where you can tell this instability. You will see it repeated at work in relationships. Show me a person that keep changing churches that are not changing their jobs or that are not changing relationships. In fact, one of the greatest sign when people are not stable at church, you will find that they are not stable even in relationships. You won't find one who's unstable in church and he has a stable relationship. No. come and prove me wrong. I will be glad to receive that uh correction. I will convert. What they are doing is it's a sign there's something wrong and the fruits are there to share to tell something is wrong with this individual. If now you were to even go to their thought life, you will find that they cannot hold one thought. If you go to their project life, they cannot maintain one project. It's a sign. All of this here, there there everyone, everyone, everyone. It's a sign. And during that process, they lose themselves. You go here, you accumulate so much debt. This was the issue of this guy. How he got to 2,000. He didn't get 2,000 at once. At first he looked like he was mad 10% of the time. 90% he seemed normal. That 10% was taken over. It became 20%. 80. And it became 30%. 70. And then he kept losing himself. Losing himself.
Losing himself. The more he loses, it is replaced. It's replaced. He lose, it's replaced. He lose, it replaced. Until 2,000 found home in him. That is the issue about wondering. That's the issue about wondering. And this is what Jesus is correcting of him. You are going to stay here. But you are not crossing the Galilee, the Sea of Galilee. You are not going the other side. You will be all over the place wondering, wondering in Kapern now wondering, wondering you you will you will say no, I am traveling with Jesus. Hm. It's because Jesus is in Jerusalem and where the family at home they will say no he is with Jesus. You don't know that Jesus is back from Jerusalem is in Galilee has been there for weeks. The wanderer has remained in Jerusalem doing his stuff and has gone there in the name of the ministry. So he's teaching him now if you're going to maintain and keep this deliverance this will be a sign you've already shown good signs you were sitting you were clothed you in your right mind now can you stay in this country can you stay in this country let's see he says go home to your Friends, somebody say go home.
Go home.
One of the signs that you are delivered, you will go home. Simple. Go home. He says where? To your friends. Which means this man, he was never who? and he was never with his people and he was needed the most. The family needed his guidance. He will not be there. It's all over the place. He accumulated so much that the spirits drove him crazy. And he says, "And tell them, go home to your friends and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you and has had compassion on you." Which means this deliverance was a ministering of compassion, spirit initiated. This deliverance was so big that it delivered many other places and many other people and he departed. You know I tell people when I say delivered so many people including that uh you remember the prodigal son who went to a far country. The far country was in Gad. That's where they were taking care of sheep I mean of swine. So Jesus delivered him too. He departed and began to p to publish in decapalos decapolis which are 10 cities in that region how great things Jesus had done for him. And all men did marvel. They were wondering. See, and when Jesus was passed over again by sheep, he came only to deliver this guy and go back. When he said, "Let us pass to the other side," he was not going to do anything other than just to deliver this one man.
Effective deliverance.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
