RBV Matthew 12:22

22Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. (NIV)

     Just another story of Jesus healing someone?  Perhaps.  But what got me to thinking this morning is who are our demon possessed people today? Are we the ones who are demon possessed?  What does it mean to be demon possessed?  I know that exocrisms are still being done even in 2009, but let's not take this passage so literally.
     If we look at our lives and all that is in it, I am sure that we can come up with something that possesses us other than the things of God.  Sports, school activities, Wall street, among others are things that we allow to possess us, and when is the last time you talked about Jesus while watching a sporting event, or the stock market (Other than using "Jesus Christ" when a touchdown is called back by a flag.)
     The point is, Jesus Christ has healing powers.  The things that are keeping us in the dark, and stopping us from talking about Jesus can be overcome.  Allowing Jesus Christ to enter into your life and have control is the way to regain our senses.  Our true senses.
     We are all deaf and we are all mute at times when we dont have Jesus Christ in our lives.  But Jesus died and rose for us and for our sins, and that allows us all to see and hear the good news about and from Jesus Christ.
    Let us pray...
O God, we give you thanks for the healing power of Jesus Christ.  Please open our eyes and clean out our ears and help us to look and listen for Jesus in our lives.  We ask that you guide our words that they may proclaim your greatness.  We know that we can be healed and we ask for healing in our lives.  Grant us your mercy through your son Jesus Christ our savior and Lord.  Amen.
Peace and Prayers...
