DAY 2

If you read mark 5:1 - 20 you will read a wonderful story of a man who finds freedom from demonic possession. What a wonderful miracle right? The Spirit of the Lord showed me that the revelation is not in the miracle that took place, but the revelation is in what was not allowed to take place.

You read that Jesus arrives on the scene and His power is manifested, but as you read on you see that the people beg Him to leave. Here is what the Spirit of God revealed. The people had become familiar with seeing this man run in the tombs and acting out, but once they saw what was unfamiliar to them they allowed the spirit of fear to grip them and this resulted in Jesus leaving and passing them by.
The Spirit declares that this is typical of many churches today, the presence of God shows up and His power is manifested but because it changes what is familiar the people allow the spirt of fear to grip them. Once fear has a hold of their hearts they become resistant to the presence of God and will not allow God to do what He set out to do. The end result is the Spirit is grieved and it passes them by.
