None of us were meant to be possessed by a demon. We were meant to be living under the influence and power of the Holy Spirit of God. With Him, there is unlimited peace and joy.

05/11/16 - Who Is This Man? - Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

Sinners are by nature blind. We are blind to the truths that God wants us to know. This is not medical blindness though; it is an unwillingness to see as God sees. We obviously know better.

God declines to sit atop an organizational flowchart. He is the organization. He is not interested in being president of the board. He is the board.
