Mark 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him.

Is it possible that the prince of darkness could just pick any person arbitrarily on this planet, and take possession of them, to the point where they are under his direct control, coercing their will, mind and physical being to do his bidding. Really?… Mark 5:9 And he asked him, what is your name? And he answered, saying, my name is Legion: for we are many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

Mark 5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. 14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

[The Desire of Ages pp 341] The encounter with the demoniacs of Gergesa had a lesson for the disciples. It showed the depths of degradation to which Satan is seeking to drag the whole human race, and the mission of Christ to set men free from his power. Those wretched beings, dwelling in the place of graves, possessed by demons, in bondage to uncontrolled passions and loathsome lusts, represent what humanity would become if given up to satanic jurisdiction.

Mark 5:7 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. 8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Mark 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he came out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.

We are going to examine, and study three exhibits, And, we will ask the same question after each one, so as to pave the way for a thorough understanding of what is at stake for the inhabitants of this earth, including the remnant people of God, for we also may be affected in some ways, some more some less. The reason why it is important for us to understand what is going on is because in our day many spiritual maladies and conditions tend to be treated with conventional medicines.

And, wherever this is the case, only the symptoms can be addressed, for if the root problem is spiritual, the remedy also has to include the spiritual, for it to have long term success. The medical term for some of the man’s actions in exhibit A is (Non suicidal self-injury, or NSSI). When a person is cutting themselves continuously, or if it is the case that bodily harm and mutilation is being done to oneself, that person is in dire need of prayer and deliverance.

Antidepressant drugs may address some symptoms, but it is a mind problem, a spiritual problem that is being manifested, and as such, the interventions or mitigations must of necessity include prayer. There are some conditions of the mind that only Jesus can fix, and thus, He must be our go to Source whenever deep problems of the mind continuously plague the person in question. We are hard pressed to believe that the unfortunate condition of these men came about by accident, or by chance.

Mark 5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains. 4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
