Turn to God in prayer and depend on God to cleanse your heart and to renew your spirit when you are offended.  God can do this and will do this for us when we want to be cleansed.

One time, a woman told me how she was offended by a woman at a secular job.  More than 20 years had passed and she was still holding onto the offense.

Instead pray, asking God to create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you.  Psalm 51:10

I don't believe I would know how to cleanse my own heart, except when I trust God to do that for me I know HE will.  God is our only hope!  And if we hope in God we will never be disappointed!

Being dead to sin and alive to God through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 5:16 ... Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

If we hear what the Holy Spirit brings to our mind and we choose to do what HE tells us we will not go in the way of our own flesh and we will overcome by the Spirit!

Matthew 28:5,6

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 

 

6 HE is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

 

 

Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: He is risen; He is not here: behold the place where they laid Him.

 

 

Luke 24:5,6,7

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 

 

6 HE is not here, but is risen: remember how He spake unto you when He was yet in Galilee,

 

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

 In October 2022, after being diagnosed with high-grade, muscle-invasive bladder cancer, I was told that without treatment I would be dead in 1 year, 2 years at the very most. The recommended treatment was 4 rounds of chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove my bladder. I would be in the hospital 3 days after surgery, and it would take 6-8 weeks to fully recover. Then, for the rest of my life, I would need to deal with man-made alternatives to having a natural bladder. 

 

There was panic at first, with ideas of various things that would need to be done to prepare for all of this. 

 

But when I prayed, I was reminded of what we're told in Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 

 

So I tried to just focus on what was immediately in front of me, what I needed to deal with each day.

 

During this time I also asked God if there was any way I might be spared bladder removal, and HE drew my attention to information from the American Society of Clinical Oncology concerning the type of bladder cancer I had ... “An approach using chemotherapy with radiation therapy may provide the same benefits as bladder removal.” 

 

I came to believe this was God's answer to my prayer about being spared bladder removal. And God led and helped me in getting the treatment plan changed to chemotherapy with radiation instead of chemotherapy with bladder removal. This treatment was completed by mid-January, 2023, and there has been no sign of cancer through 3 series of extensive tests since then. 

 

All the things that seemed to be needed to prepare for the future in October, 2022, were not needed at all. There was no surgery and recovery.  There was no change in the way my body functions.  

 

I was spared much unnecessary work and trouble by being given Matthew 6:34 and seeking to do what we're told in this. 

 

As we've been preparing for the home church meeting at my house this coming July, I've been reminded of what happened in this and of Matthew 6:34. This has helped me focus more on just what needs to be done "today". 

 

And I often find myself starting the day by asking God to direct what I do that day, knowing that HE knows what is needed and that it will be sufficient. 

 

Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. 

 

Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in HIM; and HE shall bring it to pass. 

 

Things that seem, in my thinking, to be needed for the future may not be needed at all. But God know exactly what is needed and the best timing for each thing.

 What a Friend

What a Friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear.

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer.

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear.

All because we do not carry 

Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations,

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged,

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness,

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge,

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

In His arms (Word) He’ll take and shield thee,

Thou wilt find a solace there.

Podcast: When Jesus comes HE will destroy the antichrist churches, both ministers and followers of antichirst

 

 

 

2 Thessalonians 2  (When Jesus returns)

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

They approved the casting away of scripture and changing the doctrines of Christ set up in the New Testament Bible.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Luke 9 (Reading through the Bible)

 

1 Then He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

2 And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

3  And He said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

4  And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

⁶ And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;  8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see Him.

10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told Him all that they had done. And He took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

11 And the people, when they knew it, followed Him: and He received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto Him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

13 But He said unto them, Give ye them to eat.

And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

14 For they were about five thousand men.

And He said to His disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

18 And it came to pass, as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him: and He asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

21 And He straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;  22  Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

23 And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.

25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.

27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

(For Jesus would be crucified and resurrected in their lifetime, thus they would see the kingdom of God.)

28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, He took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

29 And as He prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistering.

³⁰ And, behold, there talked with Him two men, which were Moses and Elias:  ³¹ Who appeared in glory, and spake of His decease which He should accomplish at Jerusalem.

³² But Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw His glory, and the two men that stood with Him.

³³ And it came to pass, as they departed from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him.

³⁶ And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁷ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met Him.

³⁸ And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech Thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. ³⁹ And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I besought Thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.

But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, He said unto His disciples,  ⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask Him of that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by Him, ⁴⁸ And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in My name receiveth Me: and whosoever shall receive Me receiveth Him that sent Me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the time was come that He should be received up, He stedfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵² And sent messengers before His face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for Him.

⁵³ And they did not receive Him, because His face was as though He would go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt Thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

⁵⁵ But He turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. ⁵⁶ For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow Thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.

⁵⁹ And He said unto another, Follow Me.

But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

⁶⁰ Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another also said, Lord, I will follow Thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

⁶² And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

💥 Can't you tell when you are about to speak something that can hurt another person?

Comments by Joan Boney:

James 1:26  If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

If we allow our heart to get unclean by taking in various resentments as the world does and then holding such against the person who offended us instead of turning to God in prayer and asking God to create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit in us, then the evil festers and grows in our heart and at some point comes out our mouth.

💥  I don't want to be evil.  I want God to cleanse me.  I want to catch the evil that would come into me and turn to God with that evil and let HIM give me a good heart and a good spirit.

Be watchful! otherwise we will become evil and hurt other people.

Sometimes we have to bring corrections.  It is a work of God.  And when that is the case we ask God how we can do that without hurting myself or the other person.  When I have done this, God will show me some way I can bring the message.  But when the person is evil and set for destruction, God just has me deliver the message and disappear, for that person is set for destruction.

Here is an example of a person set to be destroyed:

Judges 3

12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

And the messenger of God fled.

As a prophet of God, I've delivered many messages of God.    Most messages are to give the person an opportunity to turn to God and be delivered from evil.

One message was to Robert Tilton who had killed a prophet by keeping her from speaking to his TV audience. (Wikipedia: Robert Tilton) Before they went on camera, Bob said:  "Don't say anything about being a prophet for it's not popular."

Ava called me after the show.  She was in tears as she told me what Bob did.  I sought God about this.  And I knew God's sentence was destruction of Bob's house for what he did.  I delivered this message to him by cassette tape.  He and his wife and the office staff heard the tape I sent.  Someone took scissors and cut the tape to pieces.  They danced around the tape, quoting scripture.  But they did hear the message and that is all that mattered!

God removed me from going to that church.  About 10 years later, Bob and his wife divorced.  He married a woman who was a lawyer and preacher.  She sued Bob.  They divorced.  Bob encountered many troubles and somehow lost his 8,000 seat church building and TV ministry.  He moved to Florida and tried to start another TV ministry but it was never the success of the previous ministry. He married a third wife.  He sold what he had accumulated and moved to Culver City, California,  and bought a hotel there.  (Reported on Wikipedia, Internet Encyclopedia: see Robert Tilton

Everything around Bob was destroyed.  I knew it was because he killed a prophet by stopping her from doing the work of a prophet on his TV show.

It is often one act that seals your fate when you are being destroyed by God or saved by God.

Whether we compromise often destroys us. Holding fast to scripture without compromise often is basis for our salvation and endurance to eternal life.

💥💥💥

I can tell when I am about to say something I shouldn't say to another person and I cry out pleading with God:  "Please don't let me say that.  Stop me from speaking."  (God always answers that prayer and somehow stops me from speaking that thing my flesh wants to speak.)

I have also seen church people plow ahead with words of hatred and envy and spite, having an evil spirit in them.  Instead of pleading with God: I often pray.

Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Some are so full of bitterness they would rather be destroyed rather than give up their hatred and bitterness and be cleansed by God.

The Bible shows us not all prophets are the same though all prophets are prophets when called by Jesus.

Some prophets, such as Elijah, are very public.  

Some prophets are not even known by name at the time they lived yet they are identified as prophets by God.

Acts 11

26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

27And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

(We don't know the names of the other prophets who were with Agabus, only that other prophets came with him to Antioch.)  

A prophet is very valuable to the church.  Often God speaks a single statement of information through that unknown prophet in the group.  We have approximately 5 prophets in our little church group besides me and we are meeting at Pam Padgett's house in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for 5 days on July 22-26.  Do you think God will honor this?  I do.  Jesus will be in the midst of us at that meeting.  (Mt. 18:20)  Would you think Jesus will speak and act at that meeting?   I do.

There are other places the church is meeting where Jesus will also be.  I don't know for sure which ones they are.  But I know Jesus will be at this meeting among us at Colorado Springs.  And I know, at this point in time, at least 3 prophets who plan to attend.  Do you think things of God will happen?  I do.

This scripture reminds me of this song:

 

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Op’ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

 

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

 

Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,
All who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.

 

Mortals, join the happy chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Podcast: Antichrist churches today

 

 

 

The apostle Paul shows us how antichrist will work in the end time New Testament churches.

2 Thessalonians 2

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord)  shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

In 1982, God explained to me the "falling away" spoken of in this scripture.

The falling away are not people leaving the church.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures.

💥💥💥

The apostle John showed his church group that there were already MANY antichrists in their own church group.

I John 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

The apostle John shows us that antichrist is not one man as churches today are teaching but rather antichrist is a spirit in many men.

1 John 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

The apostle Paul speaking to the Elders of the church at Ephesus:

Acts 20

17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

(The elders would rise up among them "speaking perverse things" to draw away disciples to themselves ... setting up other denominations ... antichrist ... setting up things in the churches which are opposite to the doctrines of Christ.)

💥💥💥

When Jesus returns, HE will destroy antichrist churches, ministers and followers of those false doctrines.

2 Thessalonians 2

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I believe Jesus is coming soon.

Luke 8 (Reading through the Bible)

 

And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him,

(The real church is a joyful people because of the Word and their belief in the Word, focused on the Word.)

² And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
³ And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of their substance.

⁴ And when much people were gathered together, and were come to Him out of every city, He spake by a parable:

⁵ A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
⁶ And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
⁷ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
⁸ And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold.

And when He had said these things, He cried, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹ And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be?

¹⁰ And He said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹² Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

¹³ They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶ No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

¹⁷ For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

¹⁹ Then came to Him His mother and His brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

²⁰ And it was told Him by certain which said, Thy mother and Thy brethren stand without, desiring to see Thee.

²¹ And He answered and said unto them, My mother and My brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

***

²² Now it came to pass on a certain day, that He went into a ship with His disciples: and He said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

²³ But as they sailed He fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

²⁴ And they came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we perish.

Then He arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵ And He said unto them, Where is your faith?

And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for He commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey Him.

***

²⁶ And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷ And when He went forth to land, there met Him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech Thee, torment me not.

²⁹ (For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

³⁰ And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name?

And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

³¹ And they besought Him that He would not command them to go out into the deep.

³² And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought Him that He would suffer them to enter into them. And He suffered them.

³³ Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

(Devils cause you to do crazy things.)

³⁴ When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵ Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

³⁶ They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

³⁷ Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought Him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and He went up into the ship, and returned back again.

³⁸ Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought Him that he might be with Him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
³⁹ Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

***

⁴⁰ And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received Him: for they were all waiting for Him.

⁴¹ And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought Him that He would come into his house:
⁴² For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying.

But as He went the people thronged Him.

⁴³ And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
⁴⁴ Came behind Him, and touched the border of His garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who touched Me?

When all denied, Peter and they that were with Him said, Master, the multitude throng Thee and press Thee, and sayest Thou, Who touched Me?

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched Me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me.

⁴⁷ And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before Him, she declared unto Him before all the people for what cause she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸ And He said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

***

⁴⁹ While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

⁵⁰ But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

⁵¹ And when He came into the house, He suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

⁵² And all wept, and bewailed her: but He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁵³ And they laughed Him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ And He put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

⁵⁵ And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and He commanded to give her meat.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished: but He charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
