~seren Devils"
MARK 1919 Vow when Jesus
was risen early, the first day of the
week. He appeared first 10 Mary
Masdalene out of whom he had cast
seven devils
Il do Lot know the nature of Mary.
Magdaiene's affection, whether 1t was
physical, mental, or both. She was
greatly afflicted by these demons.
They no doubt had her under their
control. Christ cast them out OF her
and she became a ferrent, favored
follower of Him. There are some
who try TO connect her name with an
immortal life, but ] find no evidence
OF this. She was one of the women
who evidently had means. for she
1ninistered unfo Christ. She was
among the women who stood afar
off and witnessed the scene OF the
crucifxion of her Lord She was one
of the women who brought. sweet
spices 20 anncint his body. While We
do not know the nature of Mary Mag
'daiene's sorrow and affection We do
know that the work of the deyil IL
TO keep people away from Jesus
Christ andSto lead them captive at
his Will l shall mention seven devils
that are holding people from Christ
and they are TO be driven out.
Devil of Greed.
The devil of greed. The devil OF
greed to get wealth has no con-
science. 1t does not care for rich or
poor, for mother, brother or neigh
Dor. Before any person is saved, this
devil must be cast out. 1t has pos
session of them body and soul. Be
cause they are afraid they may be
poor when they are old, they keep
themselves poor now They are starv-
Ing their souls on the husks of the
devil They are selling their souls
for MACS nf nnffaYa and they Will
seek it again with tears when ii can
not be found How true il is that
those who seek 10 be rich are pierced
through with many sorrows and
that the passion foF-~ealth IS drown
ing men in perditiop 10 get rich at
.any cost. Many man thinks he can
make more money without Christ by
has dishonesty. than TO be honest
with Christ. He is willing 10 increase
his income at the expense of his soul.
I know many who are rot Christians:
they arc honorable and upright IN
their business but the pleasure and
excitement of their business keep
them away from Christ. II man
cannot succeed in making ar honest
Christian living. let him go 10 the
poor hops-; it would be better than
10 sell. his soul for greed There are
a lot of people who are determined
to get rich at any cost
Causes Fraud
Greed is driving people to OPP
press. to defraud, to embezzle and TO
plumber, their neighbors. What shail
it profit man is he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?'
The second devil is the fear OF the
man. The Bible says the fear OF man
brin geth snare. Some of you would
like. to walk right out for God. but
.you are afraid OF what some wicked
person might say about you. Some
OF you have an honest desire to live
Christian life We have your sym
patty. You have been giving TO the
support OF the Gospel and TO this
but you have let others
who are of the devils crowd keep you
from doing your duty
The third devil is pride: believe
there are hundreds of men and wo-
men in this community who are kept
away from Christ by their pride
They are too proud TO let any one
know they have serious thought
about themselves. They are 100
proud to let any one believe that
they think there is reality in the re-
iision of Jesus Christ. Your life may
he respectable. you may not know
the awful depths and blight OF sin
as some know it, but you will have to
go through the same door as all VINO
are saved, Jesus Christ. II the devil
has been successful along any line
with you. IL has been to put strut IN
your heart over the thought that you
think you are taller in intelligence
and made OF little higher grade OF
clay.
"The fourth devil is skepticism.
The fact that some men deny the
power of Jesus Christ does not prove
ANYTHING. That does not take one
ounce OF power from him. The fact
that some men scorn the Bible THAI
rebukes his sin does not destroy one
syllable of the Word of God. have
made it a rule TO inquiIp into the
lives of men who scorn Gods word.
