Had Been

Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine.
— MARK 5:15, 16 (NKJV)

Today’s scripture talks about when Jesus encountered a man demon possessed with many evil spirits. The man was said to hang out in the cemetery, naked and would be out of his mind foaming and cutting himself. Then, the man met Jesus. Jesus spoke to the demons controlling the man and told them to get out. When the demons left, the man was made new. People witnessed a difference in him. They knew he was the man that “had been” demon possessed, but now, he was in his right mind.

Since you’ve had your Jesus encounter, what’s your “had been?” Are you the person that had been known to hold a grudge forever? Are you the person that had been doubting themselves? After your Jesus encounter, something has to change. And it’s not just an inward change. People should notice the change. One way to bring about this change is to let the word of God release you from the demons of hate, confusion, depression and unforgiveness to find your right mind. A mind of Christ. Leave your had been status in the past and embrace your future in God.

A new creation

Heavenly Father, thank You for cleansing me and freeing me from my unrighteousness. Lord, empty me of anything possessing me that is not of you. I had been many things in the past, but You make all things new! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
