i agree. i think it’s very difficult for me personally give up my norms for God’s norms. even though my norms are damaged and broken and useless it still seems harder to switch to Gods.

I was struck by the people’s reaction to the healing of the demon possessed man: great fear. When God performs miracles, He rights what is wrong but that means changing what is normal. When God changes my normal, I find that I sometimes wish for the sin or the comfort to return even though they damage my life. God is helping me learn that relationship with Him means submitting my normal brokenness so that He can shine extraordinarily through it.

Thank you ladies I was wondering all of this and coming to your responses and questions was most helpful. God bless you.

I’m wondering why did Jesus tell the man who had the demons come out of him to go and tell how much God has done for him while he tells the parents of the girl not to tell anyone what happened?

I was wondering the same thing Jenna!

I think Jesus knew the testimony of the man who had been healed from demon possession would go far, & for long after the townsfolk asked Him to leave their city. But I am not sure why He asked the little girl’s family to stay hush about her healing! Any insight, SRT family?

Jesus usually asked the Jews to keep it quiet because it was not time for them to lift Him up as king over them or make His power so public. Kinda like waiting so the timing was right and He didn’t die too early, at the wrong time… but the demon possessed man was a Gentile. He could be considered one of the first Gentile missionaries, ever, sent directly by Jesus to tell what He had done.

We all know people who have experienced spiritual deaths in their lives. They’re prodigal children- turned from God, and unwilling to even consider coming back home. We think they are beyond help. “She’s had too much sex. He’s done too many drugs. There’s nothing I can do to help them. It’s out of my hands.”
When we come to this conclusion we give up on that person, but we fail to remember that while their situation is beyond human control, God specializes in raising the dead to life. Redeeming the unredeemable. So you’re right: it is out of your hands. Maybe it’s time for us to stop writing people off, stop condemning them and instead put them into the hands of the Creator, that he might call to them, “Talitha Koum”-“Little girl, get up!”

Great reminder to see people as God would. Unbelievers just have a different father than believers do & God has entrusted us to love and share the gospel with them so we could be in the same family. He is not desiring that any should perish but that all come to repentance. Thank you God for your patience and your grace towards us. Help us be Your hands and feet.

This was incredibly encouraging to me, as my brothers are considered “lost” by many but still my heart prayer is for them to return to their first love, to Jesus!

How often do we ask Jesus to leave our own lives because we’re scared (vs 37)? Sisters I pray that I am bold in my faith like the bleeding woman who believed that just by touching Jesus she could be healed. I ask that I am firm in my faith and always welcome Jesus into my life !

I didn’t know that so much in the Bible applied to my life.

beautiful things happen when we sit at the feet of Jesus
