Demoniac Missionaries
One of the things I've been asking the Lord for lately is "radical conversions." I'm been praying for people who seem to be light-years away from God to cross the line of faith.
One of the most amazing transformation stories in Scripture is the demoniac in Mark 5. He was a lost cause. He was a demoniac, but Jesus didn't see a demoniac. He saw a missionary. One of my favorite quotes is a Goethe quote: "See a man as he is and he will remain as he is. See a man as he can be and should be and he will become as he can be and should be." Jesus saw people as they could be and should be.
Jesus commissioned the demoniac as a missionary in Mark 5:19: "Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you." And the man became a missionary to the Decapolis. Lord, give us radical conversions! By the way, it starts with us seeing demoniacs as missionaries! Then evangelism is easy. It's as simple as "telling people how much the Lord has done for us."
