It is interesting to note that the demons drove the man out among the tombs. Satan will do whatever he can to separate you from places of life. He does not want you near other people and definitely not near those who want to bless you.
5:7 - Regardless of what people want to think, those in the spiritual realm recognize who Jesus is.
5:12 - The demons begged Jesus... - This shows that the real authority rests with Jesus. You have nothing to fear, because Jesus has the power and authority to protect you.
5:17 - The people were afraid. It doesn't say why they were afraid. It could have been that they lost money. It could have been that they thought the demons would come back for them. There is no need to be afraid when Jesus does something good. The blessing of God never comes with anything bad.
5:19 - Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how much he has had mercy on you. - This is the call of Jesus to every one of us. have you shown your appreciation to Jesus by doing it or have you decided to go off and do your own thing? Gratitude is shown by obedience.
5:24 - Jesus still goes with us if we will only ask.
5:28 - Does your thinking make room for God to do the impossible? So many of us will not make the mental room for Jesus to do the miraculous. Is it any wonder that it isn't occurring among us? We need to begin to think the very best about Jesus.
5:34 - Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering. - God longs to say this to His daughters and His sons.
5:36 - ... Don't be afraid; just believe. - I am certain that Jesus would say this to most of us today. Quit believing what you can see and what you experience and what you know and just believe. Believe that Jesus is capable of far beyond anything you know. Just believe.
Love, Michael
