For Friday, December 8, 2023:
Mark 1:25-26 NLT: “Jesus reprimanded the evil spirit. ‘Be quiet! Come out of the man,’ he ordered. At that, the evil spirit screamed, threw the man into a convulsion, and then came out of him.”
Evil spirits are not on holiday. We don’t perceive them because we’re not looking for them. But evil is still out there, doing as much harm as possible. Just look at the world around you. Wars, prejudice and violence are far too common. It’s no accident! Someone or something is accelerating evil in our lifetimes.
From today’s scenario, we learn that evil spirits obey the Son of God. So if you’re trying to help someone who appears to be caught up in evil, you need to use the name and invoke the power of Jesus. Yes, it still works nowadays!
Paul taught us to never stop praying. Pray that goodness will overcome evil. Pray for goodness to be victorious. Pray “in Jesus’ name!”
"The news about Jesus spread quickly throughout the entire region of Galilee!” It’s still being spread nowadays.
