Just One Attitude Can Change All

"Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him." (Mark 5:1-6 NKJV)

Hello assistants, we can see in these verses that this demon possessed man didn't miss the opportunity to change his life. He was a man who had a legion of demons in his body, reading about where he used to sleep and how violent he was we can imagine how terrible demons were to him. However, what drew my attention was the fact that right after he saw The Lord Jesus he didn't think twice, he immediately ran to Him, why? Because I do believe that he saw in that moment the best opportunity for him to get out of that miserable life.Though there was a legion of evil spirits possessing him they couldn't hold him.  Finally he got delivered and became a new person. It's clear that when a person really want to change he/she just needs to take one attitude against what is wrong in his/her life, this is very personal. If there's something you need to change in your life, don't depend on anybody to do it, you must go ahead by yourself and do what you have to do. Not  worrying about what others will say.
There was a man in the bible called Judas whose story you know very well. He was a man who used to walk side by side with Jesus, he used to sit and eat with Him and other disciples. He even used to take care of the offering, nevertheless there was a deceiving spirit in his life. He knew that very well he could have humbled himself before The Lord Jesus and begged Him for his deliverance but he didn't. He rather keep that evil inside of him though he had Jesus with him everyday. Do you know what happened to him? He killed himself, though he had the best chance to change his life. He just needed to take one attitude for it.
Dear friend, if there's something in your life that you need to change you must go ahead and do it without delay. Do like the Gadarene when he saw Jesus he ran to Him immediately and broke free from everything that was separating him from the abundant life. He wanted to serve The Lord Jesus with the best. Just one attitude is needed.
May the Holy Spirit strengthen us and have mercy on us.
Be blessed.
