In Matthew 8, we can read of a city that has learned to coexist with two demon-possessed men, and they have changed their ways of traveling, settling, and even where they take their herds because of how violent these men are. We read how Jesus comes in, immediately casts them into a herd of nearby pigs, and the problem for this entire city is solved. We think, “That’s great!” The city’s people, on the contrary, come out and implore him to leave. They would rather coexist with the demons and have their pigs than live without the problem, this stronghold that had taken place and affected their way of living. We could think, “Aren’t they grateful he did that for them?” But what about that stronghold within you? Have you buried something SO DEEP, it is a no-fly zone for ANYBODY to go there? What if, in one word, Jesus could completely root that out and heal you from that deep-set trauma, burden, pain, whatever it is? Wouldn’t you invite Him in to take it from you?
