THE DRIVING OUT OF DEMONS

THE DRIVING OUT OF DEMONS Do you believe That demons exist In today's world Do you believe That the devil really lives OR do do you believe That the evil That we face Is just the ebb and flow Of good and bad In today's world I will tell you this: IF you Have seen and met SOME of the people That I have If you have some OF the actions or inaction That I have seen You would KNOW That the devil and demons Do in fact exist For NO such person NO SUCH ACTIONS Are that evil In and of itself “The demons pleaded with Jesus 'IF you drive us out Send us Into the herd of swine” Matthew 8:31 For in Jesus' time There definitely were demons And Satan SOME-in fact- Even accused Jesus of being The devil “' am not Possessed by a demon,' said Jesus 'But I honor my Father And you dishonor me I am not seeking GLORY For myself But there is one Who seeks it And he Is the judge Very truly I tell you Whoever OBEYS my word Will never see death'” In today's account Jesus drives out The demons Into a heard of swine And the people Become so fearful “THE WHOLE TOWN Came out to meet Jesus And when they say him They begged him to leave” Matthew 8:34 So WHAT are we to do WHEN we come across evil people- maybe even “DEMONS” in today's society I say LIVE with so much love LIVE with SO MUCH KINDNESS LIVE with so MUCH GOODNESS That people Become so fearful of you That they Run away Or that they CHANGE their ways And ask you TO STAY Dear Lord-we PRAY That you HELP us to make WISE CHOICES And to TRUST In your PROTECTION As we confront The evil and The demons In today's world “TURN from evil And do GOOD” And you will be PROTECTED by God Even in confronting the evil And the demons In today's world Robert P.
