THE ENEMY IN-A-ME

Chapter 3
SURVIVING TO MANHOOD

You remember how earlier in CHAPTER 2 where I began to ask the Lord;
“How do I tell what has just happened to me without people thinking that I

was completely off my rocker? And He said; “Jesus already told it, just tell
what Jesus said and about what He did.” I was lead to the Gospel according

and fearful? How is it that you have no faith no rmly relying trust?“ And
they were lled with great awe and feared exceedingly and said one to
another, who then is this, that even the wind and sea obey Him?

Mark 5: 1 & 2
Jesus and his disciples came to the other side of the sea, into the
country of the Gerasenes. And when He was come out of the ship,
immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

Here is a man disconnected from society and community. He has come to
dwell in the dry places in the dead places. He's dwelling in places where
