How is this? / Mark 1:23-28
Just then, there was a man in our synagogue possessed by an unclean spirit, and he cried out, "Jesus of Nazareth, what have we to do with you? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God. Jesus rebuked them, saying, "Be still and come out of the man." An unclean spirit convulsed the man and came out with a loud noise. They were all amazed and asked each other, "What is this? Immediately the news of Jesus spread throughout all Galilee.
Saints!
This is a tragedy to waste your life. How great would it be if we knew who Jesus was and were afraid of Jesus before we were beaten, so we could enjoy everything God gave us, both spiritually and physically, to the fullest, and obey Jesus’ commands.
If you look at today's text, you can see that Jesus is well aware of human tragedies. That is why Jesus surprised people whenever he had the opportunity to do his ministry on this earth. Even when he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and taught, he taught with authority, "so that all people were amazed at his teaching." Those who hear the powerful teachings and believe in Jesus are the ones who will lead a smooth life of faith. So, these people listen to the evangelism of the saints who evangelize quietly and quietly and decide to believe in Jesus. Many of the people sitting here are people who have heard the word and believed in this way. I pray that your knowledge of Jesus will deepen day by day by meeting Jesus while listening to the Word every day, studying the Bible, and doing Q.T. These saints are amazed at hearing the word and obey Jesus' commands and are faithful. God is doing great things through these saints by blessing and prospering these saints, and the Spirit prays that many such large pillars and large vessels can be produced among the church members.

This is the testimony.
What is a testimony? It is a testimony that those who were surprised by Jesus share the experience of their surprise to others. So, testimony is different for each person and there are many different types. Some people are startled by Jesus and believe that Jesus is the Savior. Others disobey and obey God's warning by being surprised. Others obey only after being beaten into peas and bowls. Blessed are those who are surprised together when they hear such a testimony. I hope that you will list me by type of experiences that surprised you because of Jesus. It will be very helpful for evangelism and will help guide the believers in faith.
Saints!
According to the Gospels, while Jesus was on this earth, he surprised people in various ways whenever he had the opportunity. Sometimes he surprised people with his powerful words. Sometimes by casting out demons, sometimes by healing lepers, and sometimes by making blind people see.
Saints!
Jesus surprises us in many ways, and Jesus surprises us even at this very moment. Also, Jesus uses several methods to reveal who you are. When we know who Jesus is, we can trust Him, obey Him, repent, and be faithful in our work.
Saints!
Even in our daily lives, we can live a life of surprise because of Jesus every day. There are times when greed and lust take over my heart without my knowing it. Then, in the name of Jesus, quietly reject greed and lust. You experience that greed or lust gradually disappears. At this time, we are once again amazed by the power of Jesus. When you suddenly feel discouraged and depressed, overthrow them, in Jesus name. Experience the dark mind disappearing. Even when you suddenly feel stingy, or when the despair of wanting to die seizes you, overcome it in the name of Jesus. It will disappear cleanly. In particular, when the country is in turmoil, the economy is difficult, or when a difficult situation arises personally, it is easy to be attacked by evil spirits. In this case, please ask in Jesus name.
You will experience an amazing history.
