A legion of demons talking…?
A woman unable to be healed from doctors healed by Jesus…?
A dead girl brought back to life…?
We can never be sure when or why or who might be healed, but it can still happen.

This episode was filmed in India where those who follow Jesus are sharing about the One True God to people who believe in many gods much like the Christians in Rome that Mark was writing.

Mark 5 Notes:
A legion of demons talking…?
A woman unable to be healed from doctors healed by Jesus…?
A dead girl brought back to life…?
For many of us, we’ve never had experiences like this and many of us live in a skeptical society so it’s easy to see why these stories could be hard to believe.
Or maybe you believe they did happen but only because Jesus was there.
Personally, I’ve been there when a demon spoke through someone.
I’ve met people who were healed even after doctors were unable to cure them.
I’ve met people who were clinically dead who had a near death experience before being revived.
It may not have been as frequently as it seemed to happen in the days of Jesus and in the time of the early church, but I believe Jesus is still alive, and He is still doing the miraculous.
In my early 20s, we lived in Seattle. In a conversation with a young man, I asked him if he wanted to follow Jesus, and he said: “I want to, but the voices tell me not to.” Not sure what to do. Eventually, I took him to a friend of a friend who had experience with exorcisms. I heard scary voices, and I witnessed this young man seemingly unable to control his own words and actions. Interestingly, enough, he was not healed immediately. Instead, it took awhile.
He had to learn to take the thoughts from the voices captive and surrender them to Jesus who he had chosen to follow. Eventually, the voices became less and less frequent. Eventually he became a youth leader in his church.
We can never be sure when or why or who might be healed, but it can still happen.
