The Cure of a Demoniac

This is an interesting Bible verse for what it says through explicit and implicit meanings.

My personal interpretation of it may be somewhat unorthodox. I believe the Demoniac who receives the Love and Compassion of Jesus Christ, represents anyone who needs to be healed!

The Lord can, and does, cure all manner of diseases, sicknesses, ailments and conditions. It does not matter whether they are of the body, mind or soul. He is the most preeminent physician that has ever lived!

In order to be treated successfully by ANY doctor, the patient has to submit to their Authority, AND, "Follow orders!" 

In this narrative, the demoniac ~ a mental patient in my assessment ~ recognizes Jesus Christ, but, seems to mock Him so as to make the Lord reveal and manifest Himself before He is ready. 

We all suffer from some sort of psychosis or neurosis. We just cope and function with them differently. How we do so, contributes to our unique personalities. Each one of us needs to be cured of something: physical, mental or spiritual.

The problem, I believe, is that we too recognize who the Lord God Jesus Christ is, BUT, we want to undermine His Authority by making Him answer our prayers according to our time frame.

Like the Demoniac, whether or not our prayers turn into the Miracles we desire them to, depends on the Lord's Decision. If we want the demons inside of us to be exorcised, and have the angels within take charge of our destiny, we have to check our Ego.

Jesus answers our prayers, but does so at His Discretion. That includes WHEN and HOW they will be answered! Instead of mocking Him, we should just SUBMIT OUR WILL TO GOD! If we cooperate, sometimes all it takes is the Authority of His WORD.

In other words, Jesus will just COMMAND US TO BE HEALED! Our Faith will be revealed and manifest through His Word.
