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. Mark 5:15 KJV
A lot of us tend to blame everyone and everything around us, but when you study the mind you will realize that it is actually your mind that facilitates the things that happens in our mind. A song says from a distance God is watching us. Watching those whose hearts are right with him and deserving of His favour. God is searching to see whether he/she is deserving of success.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson
It happens to me a lot of the time, what happens are the things I have been desiring over time. Mark 5: 2-15 tells us the story of a man that is referred to as the “mad man of Gadarene”. It tells the story of how the deliverance of the man came about. He was possessed by unclean spirit and because of the battle the spirits waged in his mind a few things were seen to be evident in his life.
- He lived among the tombs with the dead
- He became unbindable, unrestrained, could not be calmed and was dangerous.
- He broke the chains because his mind told him he could and he lived in pain because his mind is superior to everything around him
- He acted anyhow he wanted and did anything his mind told him to do, including injuring himself physically
Something happened one day that he saw Jesus afar off, his mind saw Jesus was worth worshipping and he went ahead and worshipped Him. One thing his mind told him was that Jesus is Lord and the spirits inside him bowed to the will of Jesus.
