Jesus And The Demoniac (Matthew 8:28-34)

Tuesday, April 22, 2025

Monday, April 21, 2025

This week, we'll explore a miracle Jesus went out of His way to perform—calming a storm and freeing a man trapped in darkness. It's a reminder that God doesn't just respond to need; He pursues the one who feels beyond hope. As Easter approaches, who in your life needs that same rescue—and will you be the one to invite them?

In this account from the Gospel of Mark Jesus shows his compassion and demonstrates his power and authority. Pastor Mike Karns continues his expositional series in Mark.

Have you ever wondered how ancient wisdom tackles the darker side of human behavior? In this episode, we explore Demoniac Nature as depicted in the Bhagavad Gita, specifically in verses 16.7–16.18, to uncover why traits like hypocrisy, arrogance, lust, and pride lead to spiritual self-sabotage. Drawing from Ramcharitmanas, we discuss Tulsidas's cautionary image of a “living corpse,” highlighting how materialistic, vice-laden living robs us of true fulfillment. You'll hear reflections on Einstein's famous observation—“We cannot solve problems with the same consciousness that created them”—and how it applies to overcoming Demoniac Nature through a shift in mindset and devotion.In our fast-paced world, it's easy to normalize anger, pride, and even small hypocrisies in daily life. But as the Bhagavad Gita warns, these traits feed an endless cycle of mental unrest and spiritual stagnation. By tuning in, you'll glean practical strategies for replacing negative thoughts with uplifting, divine-focused ones—often referred to as the “Substitution Method.” This method helps you break the pattern of negativity and replace it with a purposeful path grounded in Daily Sadhana—meditation, scriptural study, and mindfulness practices.We'll delve into modern parallels, from psychology's emphasis on self-awareness to leadership ethics in today's corporate and political spheres. Imagine a checklist that helps you identify moments of hypocrisy in your own life, or a step-by-step guide to using devotion (Bhakti) and introspection to transform pride into humility. Drawing on the Shvetashvatara Upanishad and Sant Kabir's poetry, we'll show how universal these teachings truly are—cross-cultural lessons on the importance of mindful living and moral integrity.Each episode aims to guide spiritual seekers, students of philosophy, and anyone yearning for personal development. We'll show you how leaders who embody Demoniac Nature can steer society toward moral bankruptcy—while those infused with divine virtues become catalysts for harmony and service. Join us as we explore the subtle yet profound shifts you can implement in your own life. Together, let's understand the ramifications of Demoniac Nature on both personal growth and societal well-being.So, plug in your headphones and prepare to discover timeless insights that transcend cultural and historical boundaries. By focusing on daily introspection and cultivating humility, each of us can counteract demoniac tendencies in a world that increasingly needs ethical leadership and personal responsibility.Embark on this enlightening journey to conquer Demoniac Nature and usher in a life of greater peace, clarity, and spiritual fulfillment.Hosted by krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna).

Key Bible Verses: "And they cried out, saying, 'What business do You have with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?'” Matthew 8:29See also Mark 5:7; Luke 8:28

In this enlightening episode, we explore one of the most profound teachings of theBhagavad Gita, specificallyChapter 16 – Daivāsura Sampada Vibhāga Yoga, which discussesDivine and Demoniac Qualities. Shri Krishna beautifully classifies human tendencies into two broad categories:Daivi Sampada (divine wealth) andAsuric Sampada (demonic tendencies). Through this discourse, Krishna highlights how our choices, attitudes, and behaviors determine our spiritual growth and ultimate liberation.The episode begins with an exploration ofDaivi Sampada, the virtues that elevate one toward spiritual enlightenment. These divine qualities includefearlessness (Abhayam), purity of heart (Shaucham), non-violence (Ahimsa), truthfulness (Satyam), and compassion (Daya). Each of these virtues plays a crucial role in shaping our spiritual journey and aligns us with our higher self. Fearlessness is not just about courage in worldly matters, but the ability to transcend material attachments and stand firmly in righteousness. Similarly, truthfulness is not just about honesty in speech but about aligning one's thoughts, words, and actions with ultimate reality.Krishna contrasts these virtues withAsuric Sampada, which consists of arrogance, hypocrisy, anger, harshness, and ignorance. These qualities bind individuals to the material realm, creating suffering, disillusionment, and ultimately leading to spiritual downfall. TheBhagavad Gita warns that those dominated by these traits operate from a place of ego and delusion, pushing themselves further away from the path of liberation.We also discuss an inspiring tale from Indian scriptures—the story ofKing Shibi and the Dove, which illustrates the highest form of compassion. King Shibi was willing to sacrifice his own flesh to save a helpless dove, demonstrating how selflessness and divine virtues take precedence over personal comfort.A key takeaway from this episode isthe role of free will. Krishna reassures Arjuna that no one is permanently bound by asuric traits. Every individual has the power to change, evolve, and embrace the divine path through conscious effort, self-reflection, and devotion. Our spiritual progress is not dictated by birth or circumstance but by thechoices we make daily.Join us as we delve into these timeless teachings ofBhagavad Gita Chapter 16, reflecting on how they are relevant to our modern lives. Learn how cultivating divine qualities leads to inner peace and fulfillment while overcoming negative tendencies paves the way for true spiritual transformation.Tune in now and take a step towards your spiritual evolution!krsnadaasa(Servant of Krishna)

* In our study of Luke, we have seen that Luke has declared from the beginning that his purpose in writing this account of the life and ministry of Christ was that believers "Would know assuredly" the things with which they were instructed. Luke recorded immediately how Gabriel was sent to Mary to inform her that she would be overshadowed by the power of God and give birth to a son who "will be called the Son of the Highest," who "will reign over the house of Jacob forever," and who "will be called the Son of God." * As we have recently considered the beginning of Jesus' ministry and His proclamation of the coming of the Kingdom of God, we have seen that He began to certify His ministry through healings and casting out evil spirits. * Over the next two weeks, we will consider a portion of Jesus' ministry where His disciples, and those around Him, begin to realize that Jesus isn't just a "human" prophet; but rather, that Messiah was truly YHWH incarnate. * Today, we consider the display of Jesus' Authority over Nature and the Spiritual Realm ... as He calms the storm and the demoniac.

From Demoniac to Messenger - Gregory Elder Sunday,April 21, 2024 at Hoffmantown Church, Albuquerque, New Mexico

In today's episode, we sit down with Brendan Walsh, an expert in Early Modern Intellectual History and Religion to examine a chilling account of a 17th century demonic child possession in Connecticut, as chronicled in Cotton Mather's "Memorable Providences Relating To Witchcrafts And Possessions." Brendan takes us through the golden age of demonic possession, spotlighting significant figures such as the English exorcist John Darrell and notorious New England minister Cotton Mather. As we consider the account of the "Boy of Tocutt," Brendan elucidates how such reports reflect the fundamental Puritan perceptions of the diabolical or malevolent and their assault on the spiritually weak. Join us for a fascinating journey into the past, exploring how immemorial  beliefs in witchcraft, the devil's pact, demonic obsession and possession continue to shape our understanding of evil in our society and ourselves.
