There's a power in the name of Jesus that has the ability to do anything when used with faith.
​
Jesus was in the region of the Gerasenes, a man recognised Him as God's Son. Many religious people didn't recognise Jesus. This man was possessed by demons, he could break chains but was far from free. The man fell down and worshiped Jesus. Jesus was speaking with the spirits possessing him, they responded giving a collective name "Leigon". A familiar name in Jesus's day, 6,000 men formed a legion.
​
The legion begged Jesus not to send them to the pit. They would rather be put into pigs than the pit of hell! Legion then killed the pigs but they remained on earth in spirit form, their mission to kill and destroy!
Many people reject the idea of hell, but what did Jesus save us from? An eternity without God is hell, Jesus invites all to be free, spending eternity with Him.
The man was healed and in his right mind.
There are a legion of reasons to follow Jesus and put on God's Armour. If God's holding on to you, He'll never let you go. If we're hanging on to God that's not reliable, we need to believe He's holding on to us. No enemy can stand against God, the gates of hell will not prevail!
Jesus's name is all powerful, to cast out any evil, deal with all things, and you can do all God wants in Jesus's name.
Trust in God in all circumstances today.

You can't build a house on sand. You can't build anything on a bad foundation. Over the last two years every aspect of life has been shaken. God's shaken the nations. How is your faith?
​
Conspiracies and lies are no foundation. Jesus's followers are in the world but not of it. This world is on dodgy foundations, our faith in Jesus is on solid ground.
Many have been deceived by lies, some by self righteous religiosity. King Nebuchadnezzar boasted in his own power and denied God, he lost his mind for 7 years until he turned to God and regained sanity.
You can't trust in yourself. Jesus builds His church on our words of faith; belief in Jesus as God's Son, who paid the price for our sins is the only firm foundation of faith.
A house might be perfectly built but if foundations are poor it'll collapse! The same with faith, it must be built on Jesus, The Rock.
Where do you look for help, the world, friends, family or down dangerous dark paths our? Our help comes from The Lord, Jesus Christ. This is not weakness but strength.
The world's full of fear and accusations, God is shaking the world. God's Truth, Spirit, Love, Peace and Hope are available, a firm confidant foundation.
Jesus is risen, all who have faith in him are empowered, build your faith on Jesus, The Rock today.
