For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,nor
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able
to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

the Lord and inthe strength of his might.11Put on the whole armor
of God, that you may be able to stand againstthe schemes of the
devil.12Forwe do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
the rulers, against the authorities, againstthe cosmic powers
overthis present darkness, againstthe spiritual forces of evilin
the heavenly places.48Scripture Reading13Thereforetake up the whole
armor of God, that you may be able to withstand inthe evil day, and

the belt of truth, andhaving put on the breastplate of
righteousness,15and,as shoes for your feet, having put on the
readiness given by the gospel of peace.49Scripture Reading16In all
circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish allthe flaming darts ofthe evil one;17and takethe helmet
of salvation, andthe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God,18prayingat all timesin the Spirit,with all prayer and
supplication. To that endkeep alert with all perseverance, making
supplication for all the saints.50
5151Mark 51 They came to the other side of the sea, to the
country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the
boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an
unclean spirit.3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind
him anymore, not even with a chain,4 for he had often been bound
with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he
broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue
him.5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was
always crying out and bruising himself with stones.
526 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before
him.7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have you to
do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God,
do not torment me.8 For he was saying to him, Come out of the man,
you unclean spirit!9 And Jesus asked him, What is your name? He
replied, My name is Legion, for we are many.10 And he begged him
earnestly not to send them out of the country.5311 Now a great herd
of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him,
saying, Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.13 So he gave them
permission. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the pigs,
and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep
bank into the sea and were drowned in the sea.14 The herdsmen fled
and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see
what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus and saw
the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting
there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
5416 And those who had seen it described to them what had
happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs.17 And they
began to beg Jesus to depart from their region.18 As he was getting
into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged
him that he might be with him.19 And he did not permit him but said
to him, Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has
done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.20 And he went away
and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for
him, and everyone marveled.

forgive him. And what I have forgivenif there was anything to
forgiveI have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake,11 in
order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his
schemes. 2 Corinthians 2:10,1160The weapons we fight with are not
the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power
to demolish strongholds.5 We demolish arguments and every
pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we
take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2
Corinthians 10:4,561
"You will say that these are very small sins, and doubtless,
like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report
spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that
matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the Enemy
[God]. It does not matter how small the sins are, provided that
their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and
out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can
do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual onethe
gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without
milestones, without signposts. Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis
62"He's (God) a hedonist at heart. .Out at sea, out in his sea,
there is pleasure, and more pleasure. He makes no secret of it; at
his right hand are 'pleasures for evermore'...He's vulgar,
Wormwood. He has a bourgeois mind. He has filled his world full of
pleasures. There are things for humans to do all day long without
his minding in the least- sleeping, washing, eating, drinking,
making love, playing, praying, working. Everything has to be
twisted before it's of any use to us. We fight under cruel
disadvantages. Nothing is naturally on our side." Screwtape
Letters, C. S. Lewis
63 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put
on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against
the devils schemes. Ephesians 6:10,1164Go home to your friends and
tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had
mercy on you.
Mark 5:19
