TOPIC: Jesus Delivers

MEMORISE
 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 
2 Samuel 22:2

READ: Mark 1:23-28 (KJV) 
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 23-24

In Exodus 14:13-30, Pharaoh’s army pursued the Israelites as they camped before the Red Sea. The Israelites knew that unless something happened, they would either all be dead or be driven back into bondage. Moses, their leader, cried to God, and He delivered them with His mighty hand. In Mark 5:1-15, the man possessed by a legion of demons was set free with just one word from the Great Deliverer.

A woman once had a strange problem; whenever an electric appliance was switched on around her, the electric current would flow through her instead of the appliance working.

For example, if a fan was turned on, instead of the fan rotating, the woman would start rotating. If a fridge were switched on, instead of the things in it getting cold, the woman would start getting cold, and if an electric iron was switched on, she would start getting hot.

Consequently, they dared not use any electrical appliance in her house, and as such, the house was in darkness. When I sent for her, I was told that she couldn’t travel in a vehicle because one day, people tried to take her to the hospital in a pick-up van, and as the driver switched on the engine, the current flowed from the engine to the woman, picked her up, and threw her out of the vehicle.

Since she couldn’t travel in a vehicle, I had to go to her house, and I told her that all she needed was to give her life to Jesus because He would deliver her from the power of darkness. She gave her life to Jesus, we prayed a simple prayer, and she was delivered immediately.

Jesus died and rose again to save man from satan’s grip (1 John 3:8). It doesn’t matter if many forces of darkness are troubling you; if you call on Him, He will set you free. The man with the unclean spirit in the synagogue had one demon (Mark 1:23-26), Mary Magdalene had seven (Mark 16:9), and the madman of Gadara had a legion (Mark 5:1-15), and Jesus delivered all of them.

HYMN Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me 

1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.

2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law’s demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
