A Man’s Condition – Changed or Unchanged?  

  When Jesus delivered a man from many demons, they asked not to be sent into the abyss (bottomless pit).  And Jesus listened to them…remember that Jesus and His disciples had gone into the country of the Gerasenes…they were not in Israel…therefore the people did not keep the laws of the Jews.  They must have eaten pork because Jesus permitted the demons to go into a herd of pigs (swine).

(NASB) Luke 8:32-33 “Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons implored Him to permit them to enter the swine.  And He gave them permission.
33 And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.”

The pigs went berserk!  They rushed over a nearby cliff and fell into the Lake of Galilee and were drowned.  The pigs could not stand the demons within.

Demons knew that the authoritative power of Jesus was far greater than their power.
Jesus had the authoritative power then, and He still has that same power today, to work in the lives of all who turn to Him by faith.  He alone delivers us from the power of sin, Satan and the power of death.  (All will die, but all followers of Christ will live forever in the presence of God.)

Jesus has the power to change your life from the old way of living (like everyone else lives today) to living a life which glorifies the living God of the Holy Bible.

A Man’s Condition – Changed or Unchanged?

  Has your condition been changed by the power, the authoritative power, of Jesus Christ?
Then the following question is for you: how is your life being lived differently from yesterday?

For followers of Christ, accepting Him is only the first important step, your next steps are important also. Reading and studying His word each day, praying and obeying God’s words will be changing your life, day by day.

 

So!  Is your life being changed day by day?

Do you have a changed life ~ ?
