Mark 1:23-24
Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.”

We don't talk about demons much.  Oh, sure, we speak of exocising our demons or naming our demons, but we are just putting a label on our fears or pains.  The idea of demons having the ability to speak and to recognize Jesus for who he really was before a lot of other people did gives one pause.  They recognize Jesus as a threat to their way of life, their comfy digs.  They push Jesus away. Who, in their right mind, would come face to face with Jesus and push him away?  No one in their right mind.  Our minds have been captive by more demons than we ever want to know.  They have us all convinced that we can heal ourselves.
*       *      *        *       *        *        *        *        *
Help us find our right mind, Lord.  Amen
