FAITH CAPSULE: Stop looking at your situation through natural eyes and begin to look up to Jesus.

Mark 5:1-20

The mad man of Gadarenes was a father of all the mad ones during his time. He was described as one, “Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 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. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.” (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 any other case of madness in the Scriptures that measure up to his madness. Evidently, he was not bound-able since he could pull chains apart. The mad man’s 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 One and only One deliverer, his situation changed from that of a mad man to one with a right mind. Despite his madness, “When he saw Jesus afar, he ran and worshiped Him.” (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 the 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 the living Word of deliverance said to him, “…Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”(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. With the Word of God, your pain will be converted to great gain. If the mad man could run to Him and worship Him despite his madness, you too can also run and not walk to Him. Jesus tamed un-tame able in the mad man’s life and He will tame your un-tame able issues. Will you run to Him like the mad man did? To have a right mind is your portion in Jesus Name.

Prayer for today: Every issue of agony and regret will vacate you in the glorious name of Jesus.
