"18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

 

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee."

 

Words to ponder: Great Things The LORD hath Done

 

JESUS heals,

JESUS cares,

JESUS takes our sorrows away!

 

In this chapter were written three different miraculous healings perform by JESUS, thus:

➢ The Proof of JESUS’ Supremacy
2. The casting out of the legion of devils by JESUS, from the man who roamed in the mountain and in the tomb, cutting himself with sharp stones, and no one nor chain is able to bind him. V.2-20
a. The legion unclean of spirits recognized Him as the Son of the Most High GOD, worshipped Him and bid Him that He allowed them to enter into the body of the about two thousand swine(pigs). And He adjured them.
b. The healed man prayed to Him to take him with Him, but He told him to go back to his house to his friends and tell them how great things The LORD has done for him. He obeyed JESUS proclaimed what He has done for him.
c. JESUS addressed Himself as the LORD as He command the healed man..

 

3. The ceasing/ healing of the twelve years blood issue of the woman, that made her so abased and poor; whose faith was commended by The LORD, for her determination; trusting that through her touching the hem of His garment will heal her. -Even just the hem of His garment dispersed The LORD’s power to heal this woman, whose faith is resolved; in fully trusting JESUS that He is able to heal her. V.25-34

 

4. The raising up of a young damsel from the dead: the daughter of the synagogue ruler named Jairus by taking the damsel’s hand and commanded her to arise; and the damsel’s life was restored. - doubts of those watchers and the fear of the father, did not stop The LORD’s powerful words raise back to life the dead.

 

➢ The Proven JESUS’ Sovereignty
1. The unclean spirit feared, worshipped, pleaded and obeyed His words
2. His limitless power is ever ready to save and heal the sick
3. He has power to raise up the dead.

 

➢ JESUS Providential Security
1. The Legion did not return again to the healed man, after JESUS cast them away. The great things The LORD has done secured the healed man; for him to proclaim the great things JESUS The LORD has done. 
2. The healing power of JESUS sustain the faith of the woman for her earnest desire to be whole again.
3. Death has no power over JESUS The LORD’s commanding words. 

 

JESUS commanding words persuaded these people to plead. Even those who are in Gadarenes who beg Him to leave them; might be for fear of His presence, just like those people in the wilderness, who ask Moses to talk to God for them, for they fear that they may die; in Exodus 20;19or they are afraid that He will cause them more loses than gain; because of the drowned about two thousand swine the which the unclean spirit entered in.

But to those who were healed and become whole and alive again, surely, they will never want to live without JESUS again. 

 

The same way some unbelievers are refusing to let into their lives The LORD for fear that they may not do the things that gives them pleasures. But for us believers, the blessed assurance that we have, after we accepted The LORD JESUS CHRIST, our lives have been renewed, and our old lives we will never live in it back, should never be, never again.

And that the very reason we should understandwhy He keep us alive here in this earthly home is for us to tell to others the great things The LORD has done in our lives; to testify that He is The Son of The Most High GOD, The He is The LORD of lords, And The Only Sinless Savior of this world. The Only Savior who is able cast all demons, to heal our sicknesses that makes us abase and poor, and the Only One who is able to raise us to a much better life with Him.

 

Let us keep on trusting in His words. 

 

Good morning. 

 

Mark 5KJV

1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

 

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

 

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.

 

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,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, Whathave 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.

 

9 And he asked him, What is thy 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.

 

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Sendus 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.

 

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

 

16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

 

17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

 

18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

 

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

 

20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

 

21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

 

22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

 

23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

 

24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

 

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

 

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

 

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

 

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

 

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

 

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

 

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

 

32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

 

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

 

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

 

35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thydaughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

 

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

 

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

 

38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

 

39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

 

40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

 

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

 

42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

 

43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
