MAD OF ALL MAD< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Mark 5:1-20

The mad man of Gadarenes was a mad man among the mad; the father of all the mad ones during his time. He was described as one, ÒWho had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.Ó (Mark 5:3-5) By all the evidence as presented in the Bible, it is justifiable for him to be called the father of all mad. There is no case mentioned in the Scriptures that can measure up to this mad man of Gardarenes. Evidently, he was not bound-able since he could pull chains apart as described. The mad manÕs case presented untouchable challenges. Do you have a case that is exceedingly untouchable and very complicated with no hope at sight? Does your case present a no way out situation? The mad man was on a no-way out level. However, when the mad man of Gadarenes encountered the true Way of God, the One and only One, his situation changed from that of a mad man to one with a right mind. Despite his madness, ÒWhen he saw Jesus afar, he ran and worshiped Him.Ó (Mark 5:6) The same Jesus is nearer to you than you can imagine. He is the Omnipresent and Omnipotent One. Today, begin to worship Him. Stop looking at your situation through natural eyes and begin to look up to Jesus. In your worship, know that He is more than capable to loose all unloose-able, and to bind all the unbound-able that are causing you pain and torment. He is the living God and He will speak to your situation if you will listen to receive His word of deliverance. Jesus spoke to the unbound-able and the unloose-able in the life of the mad man, ÒFor He said to him, ÒCome out of the man, unclean spirit!Ó(Mark 5:8) At the word of Jesus, the mad man regained his right mind. Jesus will speak to your situation; He will not let you be wasted in this journey of life. He will cause all of your torment to be converted to enjoyment. You will no longer be a vessel of pain, agony or regret in the precious name of Jesus. If the mad man could run to Him and worship Him despite his madness, you too can also run and not walk to Him. This means you can make haste and leave behind what is taking your time away from Him and worship Him and He will set you free. To have a right mind is your portion in Jesus Name.
