A devotional reflection on the man tormented by a violent, speech?stealing spirit.

Miracles of Restoration

Jesus brings peace where torment has ruled. This man suffered under a spirit that robbed him of speech and threw him into violent convulsions. Jesus rebuked the spirit, delivered him, and lifted him gently by the hand. His authority and compassion worked together to restore peace.

Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee. (Mark 9:25)

And the spirit cried, and rent him sore. (Mark 9:26)

Jesus took him by the hand. (Mark 9:27)

Christian Application

Sample Prayer

Lord, deliver me from every force that steals my peace. Lift me by Your hand into wholeness. Amen.
