The Road to Jerusalem Jerusalem You are not too Crazy for Christ! Luke 8:22-39 The Church of Columbia at Oakland Manor March 11, 2012

We live in a sick culture. There are many with unknown illnesses from unknown origins. According to a Harvard study led my Ronald Kessler, About 10% of the worlds population has a mental illness.

In this account: There was a man who was possessed with demons Did not have clothing Covering, protection, privacy, Shame, vulnerability… Did not live in a house Security, safety, a place of rest, A place of hope

He lived in the tombs…. A dark place A place of isolation A place of despair A place of fear A place of dread

The spirit was a regular visitor in this man’s life The spirit gave this man super human strength The spirit took this man to the desert a place of isolation

Deaf and dumb spirit (Mark 9:17-29) Evil spirit (Luke 7:21; Acts 19:12-13) Familiar spirit (I Samuel 28:7) Foul spirit (Mark 9:25) Lying spirit (II Chronicles 18:20-22) Perverse spirit (Isaiah 19:14; Romans 1:17-32) Seducing spirit (I Timothy 4:1) Spirit of an unclean devil (Luke 4:33)

Spirit of antichrist (I John 4:3) Spirit of bondage (Romans 8:15) Spirit of death (I Corinthians 10:10, 15:26) Spirit of divination (Acts 16:16) Spirit of error (I John 4:6) Spirit of fear (II Timothy 1:7) Spirit of haughtiness (Proverbs 16:18-19)

Spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3) Spirit of infirmity (Luke 13:11-13) Spirit of jealousy (Genesis 4:5-8; Numbers 5:14) Spirit of slumber (Isaiah 29:10, Romans 11:8) Spirit of the world (I Corinthians 2:12) Spirit of whoredoms (Hosea 4:12, 5:4) Unclean spirit (Mark 6:7; Luke 11:24-26)

Evil spirits can enter into and possess people, causing all kinds of sicknesses, diseases, and terrible manifestations. The Bible records many occasions when Jesus healed those who were tormented by these spirits.

(see Matthew 8:28-34, Mark 1:23-27, Luke 9:37-42, and Acts 19:13- 16)."When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick" (Matthew 8:16)

Where do they come from????????

Demon possession is the control of an individual's person so that actions are influenced by an evil demonic spirit.

The signs of demonic possession in the New Testament include: deafness (Mark 9:25), blindness (Matthew 12:22), speechlessness (Matthew 9:33), convulsions (Mark 1:26), unusual strength (Mark 5:4), suicidal attempts (Matthew 17:15), and foaming of the mouth (Luke 9:39). Although these ailments are not necessarily caused by evil spirits, they are among the many possible effects of demonic activity.

The Pigs were possessed and then they killed themselves

Vs 35 He was sitting down at the feet of Jesus and in his right mind

Vs 39 Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you. “So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.”
