THE ENEMY IN-A-ME



                MARK 5:14    Those tending the pigs were scared to death, they ran and told

                their story in the town and country. Everyone wanted to see what had
                happened to this man.


                MARK 5:15    They came up to Jesus and saw the madman sitting there

                wearing decent clothes and making sense, no longer a walking madhouse of
                a man.


                MARK 5:16    Those who had seen it told the others what had happened to the
                demon-possessed man and the pigs. At  rst they were in awe—and then
                they were upset, upset over the drowned pigs.


                MARK 5:17
                             They were so upset that they began to demand that Jesus leave
                and not come back.


                The whole city heard about his deliverance. All those who had tried to tame
                him, heard about his deliverance.  All those who tried to kill him, heard about
                his deliverance. If you ever get cleaned up, and cleaned out, everybody will

                know. All of your old girlfriends will know that it had to be a God. All of your
                running buddies, all of the people you do business with; can tell when you've
                been changed.  Even your church will be able to tell.  They will all know that
                Jesus has done something real in your life, and they're going to want to
                know, who this Jesus is. You won't have to say a word. Just be a witness.

                MARK 5:18    And when Jesus came back into the ship, the man that had been

                possessed with the devil prayed to Him that he might go with Him.


                MARK 5:19    However Jesus told him no, but said unto him, “Go home to your

                family and friends, and tell them about the great things that the Lord has
                done for you, and how he has had compassion on you.”


                And when Jesus cleaned him up, and cleaned him out, the man said, this is
                so wonderful, I could stay here forever. I want to go with you Jesus.  I want to
                go where ever you go.  But Jesus said no.  I didn't clean you up, and
                straighten out your life, just so you could go with me. If all God wanted to do
                was save you, he would've saved you, and took you to be with him.  He just

                didn't save you so that you could go to heaven. He knows that your ministry
