In Luke 8:26-39, we read about the great deliverance the Lord Jesus Christ wrought in the life of the mad man of Gadara. For this mad man, although that day started like any other day of his affliction, his story changed before he went to bed that night. He went to bed in his house and not in the tombs where he used to be. I prophesy to a user of this devotional: your story will change for the better before you go to bed tonight in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ. What is that challenge confronting you or even driving you crazy? I have good news for you today: the Great Deliverer, Jesus Christ, will deliver you today. If you ask me what makes me so sure He will do it, I will tell you what He said in His word, which  I know is forever settled in heaven. In Jeremiah 32:27 He said,
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?”
Since He did it for the mad man of Gadara, and your own case is not as serious as his, be of good cheer because today you shall see the glory of the Lord. However, you need to give your life to Christ, and if you have done so, only believe His word.

Also in John 9:1, the Bible talks about a man who was born blind. Even though this man had been blind for more than 40 years, when his day of great deliverance came, Jesus saw him. This was not just an ordinary glance from some nobody; it was God directing the attention of the Maker of the whole universe to him. Jesus thereafter created two brand new eyeballs in his empty eye sockets. Have you been groping in the dark for a long time, and it seems you have no sense of direction? Are you being led by people to wherever they want you to go, regardless of your own will? Today is your day of great deliverance. The Lord will touch you before you finish reading this devotional. Peter, who witnessed the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, testified to His great power of deliverance. Here is his testimony in Acts 10:38:
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
I can also testify of His great power of deliverance. There was a man who I think had two PhD’s and for more than 6 years could not get a job. When he was brought to the church for prayers, he looked almost like a mad man, and you could not even believe he ever went to school. He had suffered a lot! We introduced him to Jesus and he gave his life to Christ. Before he got home, people were already looking for him to offer him a job. This is the power of our Great Deliverer. Praise the Lord!
