It is a very terrible thing to be possessed by a demon. When demons take possession of a person, everything in his or her life is affected negatively. Demon-possessed people are usually destructive, even to the point of self-destruction, as we see in today's Bible reading. However, no matter how terrible the state of a demon-possessed person is, he or she can be delivered through prayers and by the power in the word of God. All Jesus said were just a few words, and the madman of Gadara was delivered from the legion of demons that had possessed him. There is indeed nothing too difficult for the Lord to handle (Jeremiah 32:27).

The devil does not respect the social, educational, or financial status of his victims, and he also determines, as he pleases, the number of demons that will possess them. For example, the madman in today's Bible reading was possessed by thousands of demons, Mary Magdalene had seven demons (Luke 8:2), and the man in Mark 1:21-23 had only one demon. No matter the level of attack the devil has planned against you and your loved ones, I decree that he has failed, in Jesus' name.

I recall a time in the 80s when people who were possessed with the spirit of madness were often brought to the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City). We would keep them in a small house where we would pray for them until they were delivered. At one time, one of them, whom God had already begun to restore after a few days with us, ran out, screaming, "Help me! These people have brought a madman to live with me." Although this man had not been totally restored, he cried out in fear when he encountered another possessed person who had just been brought into the house. Eventually, both men became free of the devil's hold. No matter the level of demonic possession a person experiences, the Almighty God can set the person free because nothing is impossible for Him to do (Luke 1:37).

There are many instances in the Bible where Jesus set a person free from the devil's affliction by just speaking a word. When He sends His word, healing and deliverance follow. Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

I pray that God will send His word into any area of your life that the devil might be operating in currently, and you will receive your total deliverance today, in Jesus' name.

RCCG Hymn

In Christ Alone

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found
    He is my light, my strength, my song
    This Cornerstone, this solid ground
    Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
    What heights of love, what depths of peace
    When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
    My Comforter, my All in All
    Here in the love of Christ I stand
  2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
    Fullness of God in helpless Babe
    This gift of love and righteousness
    Scomed by the ones He came to save
    'Til on that cross as Jesus died
    The wrath of God was satisfied
    For every sin on Him was laid
    Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
  3. There in the ground His body lay
    Light of the world by darkness slain
    Then bursting forth in glorious Day
    Up from the grave He rose again
    And as He stands in victory
    Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
    For I am His and He is mine
    Bought with the precious blood of Christ
  4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
    This is the power of Christ in me
    From a life's first cry to final breath
    Jesus commands my destiny
    No power of hell, no scheme of man
    Could ever pluck me from His hand
    'Til He retums or calls me home
    Here in the power of Christ I stand
