MARK 1:21-26 21) 'And they went into Carpernaum: and straightway on the sabbath day he (Jesus) entered into the Synagogue, and taught.

22) And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

23) And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit ( demon posesed ) and he ceird out, 24) Saying, let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

25) And Jesus rebuked him. saying , hold thy peace, and come out of him.

26) And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.'(KJV) These scriptures let us know that the devils and demons recognize who Jesus was. They were once in heaven--rejected Jesus and were cast out of heaven, that is why they recognize Jesus.

He cast them out of heaven-and now by Jesus speaking to the evil spirit--cast him out again. He could not stay against the Power of God. He listened and obeyed Jesus--and left.

Today many people are overcome with sin in their life. ScripturessayinROMANS3:23 ' For all have sinned and come shout of the glory of God.'(KJV) But they have fallen into sin because of what is said in 11CORINHIANS 3:4 ' But the Gospel be hid to them that are lost, in whom the god of this world ( Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.'(KJV) Today many people say they believe in God, but only that He exists, not that He is the creator of all things, and has control of them, not that He created them and that He will save them from their sin, not that He died for them. They have been blinded by the devil from the knowledge of God--the God the devil knows, so they will not go to heaven-which they lost, The devil responded to the Word spoken by Jesus--which is the Word of God, and they listened and obeyed.

Today we preach and teach the Word of God but many refuse to listen.

Those who listen, and obey His Word when He in His Word-the Bible- in JOHN 3:3,4 Verse Three- Jesus answering and said unto him, Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again , he cannot see the kingdom of God.'(KJV) and Verse Four Jesus answered , Verily, Verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.'(KJV) According to these scriptures -unless a person is born again (scripturaly saved) they cannot see nor enter the kingdom of God.

Satan has blinded their eyes to this teaching, the Bible tells the truth- and they can be saved- but only the Lord's Way. JOHN 14:6 ' Jesus saith unto him, ' I am the way, the truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.'(KJV) We through the Scriptures --open their eyes to see the way of salvation.
