Pastor John,
I loved Gary’s email today! Man, God has been building such faith in me with what I’m going through right now.
I was reading what Gary wrote, and thinking about the song Jacob sings, “Bring It All To The Table”. There is a line that says, “There’s nothing He ain’t seen before.” It reminds me of the scripture about the man that came to Jesus that said his name was “Legion” because of the many demons that he was possessed with. It’s in Mark 5. Our translation says this:
6. And seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell down before him,
7. and crying with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, O Jesus, Son of the highest God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me!”
There really is NOTHING He hasn’t seen before! All it took was that man humbling himself and laying it all down at Jesus’ feet! And all of those demons were cast out. There is not a one among us that possesses something as bad and as tormenting as those demons were to that man, and Jesus took it all away from him the moment he was willing.
Jesus can do it, we just have to lay it at his feet! Just give it to Him!
