Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
Jesus came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue
and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as
one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with
an unclean spirit; 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!
Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” The unclean spirit
convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked
one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the
unclean spirits and they obey him. His fame spread everywhere throughout the
whole region of Galilee.

Reflection:
A gay person was trying very hard to change his ways, he wanted to become
straight for He was already tired of his hidden life. But every time he tries
to change the devil would always present itself to him and he would always
succumb to his evil temptations.
He had a dream one night and in that dream Jesus told him, “I will change
you if you will allow me to change you.” Oh yes my Lord he told Jesus and Jesus
subsequently told him, read the book that contains me. Read more about me there
and let my words sink into you. As he woke up in the morning the first
book that he saw was their dusty bible. He read it and from thereon he read it
everyday and true enough he was changed by Jesus.
Do you want to feel the authority of Jesus? Begin by knowing more about
His life by reading your bible. Try reading it initially by yourself and as
your read try to feel every words of Jesus reflect on it and let it sink in to
you. Do this daily, let Jesus speak directly to you and then notice the
authority of Jesus working in your life.
As you let His authority work in your life notice the change that will
happen to you. Perhaps if you’re self-centered you will now slowly but surely
become more Christ centered. If you’re arrogant and domineering you will now
become humble and gentle. However for this to happen, you have to know more
about Jesus.
You have to recognize His authority over you and this could only happen
if you will take time to know more about His life changing story in the bible.
This could only happen if you will give Jesus even a little of your precious
time everyday.
