Which aspect of my life or family or dream life resembles the demoniac?
Jesus meets the demoniac
-
Wears no clothes – shame or disgrace
-
Not living in a house – lack of faith / poverty / poor in spirit ( unsettled / kutotulia)
-
Living among the tombs – past hurts / traumas
-
…e.g. harboring bitterness, unforgiveness
-
…everything is someone’s fault, never my own, never taking responsibility for anything.
-
….nime onewa, nime pangiwa, nime fanyiwa
-
Violent – kept in chains often but he would break them
-
The enemy character of killing, stealing and destruction
-
No discipline, self control, everything in life just goes in disarray.
-
… can’t keep work, child, spouse or any blessing.
-
…Like self sabotage
-
-
Was driven into the desert by the evil spirits
-
Away from where the Spirit of God is
-
.
With all my issues, can I humble myself at Jesus feet?
-
He cast himself at Jesus feet
-
Health, finances, relationship
-
… or that aspect of life ni kujipanga?
-
…mganga, illuminati, mungiki
.
Wherever the presence of the Lord is, the enemy is thrown into a panic
-
With all the issues, always seek where the Light / Jesus is.
-
Light & darkness cannot coexist together
-
Light will always overpower darkness
-
Jesus commanded the spirits to leave
-
…Asked the demon its name – Legion for they are many

Continually begged not to command them into the abyss
There is power in the Name of Jesus
I am more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus…Romans 8:37
I have victory in Christ Jesus … 1 Corinthians 15:57

What do we have in common

Do I hold something of the enemy that he uses to hook into my life?

Secret sin,
-
Subtle sin such as bitterness & unforgiveness
-
-
Jesus the Son of the most High
-
Do I recognise Jesus as indeed the Son of the most high?
-
That indeed He is all powerful …
-
…bigger than my biggest problem,
-
…stronger than my strongest fight
-
-
Do not torment us before our time
-
Demons already know their fate – eternal torment
-
Am I casually playing with sin that can lead me into eternal torment?
-
…mpango wa kando, slay queen
-
.
-
Demons asked to be commanded into the pigs
-
– searches for unclean places – where they are use to
-
– Does my life offer a comfortable place for the enemy to inhabit?
-
Killing, stealing & destruction – pigs driven into the sea & drowned
.
Man was
-
Sitting at Jesus feet
-
In his right mind
-
People are changed at the feet of Jesus
.
Jesus asked to leave

People are not comfortable with miracles
-
Spirit of fear
-
Wherever light is, darkness is uncomfortable.

Man begged Jesus to go with him
-
Jesus told him to return home & testify
-
the man went testifying what Jesus had done

Testimony amplifies blessings

Not every miracle in our life qualifies us to be in formal ministry.
A testimony that others can notice
