What Is Your Need?
Years ago, E. Stanley Jones, the great Methodist Missionary to India, would conduct special meetings that he called ''ashrams.'' An ashram was a special time set aside for spiritual growth. It's what we might call a retreat. Dr. Jones always began his ashrams by passing out pieces of paper and saying, ''No one will see what you are about to write on this paper. But I want you to take this piece of paper write what your need is today.'' What need do you have?''
Whenever he would ask this question inevitably someone would raise their hand and say, ''But Brother Stanley, I don't really think that I have a need. What should I write down if I don't have a need?'' and Dr. Jones would say, ''Friend, if you think you don't have a need, then that's your need!''
In our sermon today we will see the vivid story of a demonic man, that most call ''Legion'' due to the massive amounts of demons that were cast out of him. This man was beyond societal help, physiological help, psychological help, but he was not beyond supernatural help.
There are many that are beyond help, they are in our families, some are sitting here among us, even today, many of them are our coworkers, and sadly most of us aren't even aware of their hidden struggles.
Legion was beyond help, many had even tried to help him, but to no avail. Thankfully Legion had an encounter with someone that was adequately able to diagnose his personal issues and ultimately he was set free from his demons.
