AUGUST 20th - CAPSULE 20
TOPIC: THE UNHEARD CRY
BIBLE TEXT: Mark 5 vs. 2 – There met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
Jesus heard a cry nobody else heard, from a place nobody else wanted to go, from a man nobody wanted to associate with. When Jesus lives in your heart, you will hear that cry too. It will touch your spirit.
It came from a mad man living in a graveyard, whose very appearance was enough to make any normal person avoid him, but something deep inside him longed to be free, and that longing touched Jesus. To get to him, Jesus had to go through a storm, HE also overcame the objections of His disciples, who probably said “why risk it, he’s not worth it”
If you want to follow Jesus, you will have to open your heart to a cry that nobody else is listening to. You can’t listen to the crowd around you, you have got to listen to the Spirit within you. He will tell you where to go and HE will tell you who to minister to. You can’t be out off by lifestyle or appearance. All that matters is getting them to Jesus.
Prayer: Lord help me to listen to the direction of the Holy Spirit.
Insight: Just get them to Jesus, and HE will take care of the rest.
