Day Nine: “A journey from hopeless bondage to becoming a witness for Jesus”
His life was totally ruined by demonic activity. A legion of demons continually tormented him and drove him insane. He lived in a grave yard and no one could control him. He had often been chained hand and foot but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. Night and day he would cry out among the tombs cutting himself with stones.
Read the story: Mark 5:1-20
This man was in the throes of uncertainty. Everything in his life was out of control. He was tormented day and night. Chaos and destruction was his destiny. But on this day, Jesus entered his grave yard of uncertainty and commanded the evil spirits to come out of him. Immediately, the man was free. When the towns people came to see what had take place they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind.
The man, full of joy and thanksgiving, went throughout the Decapolis region telling everyone how Jesus had healed him and all the people were amazed. God’s victory had totally transformed this man who had lived for years out of control in bondage and uncertainty.

Memorize this verse: “You dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” (I John 4:4)
Each morning, as you begin your day, quote this verse to all your uncertainties and watch Jesus turn them into His pathway to victory.
