You Will NEVER See this MIRACLE the Same Way Again | Mark 5 | Beyond the Words

FREE BOOK download: "10 Words that Will Change the Way You Read the Bible!" www.brandonrobbinsministry.com/
_________________________________________________
So many people want to read the Bible but don't know how to begin.
It's hard to understand. Things don't make sense.
My plan is to help you change that.
In this new series called "Beyond the Words," I'm going to reveal for you the history, context, and other details that will bring scripture to life in an entirely new way, and help you feel like you can understand it as never before.
This week, we're going to look closely at Mark 5. In this chapter, you'll see Jesus perform 3 miracles, all of which are connected. One of these miracles is so rich with meaning that it's not an exaggeration to say that it blew my mind! I will never see this familiar story the same way again!
...and I have a feeling neither will you!
I'm really excited about this series! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!

My oldest daughter, Julieanne, died in active military duty on 7/17/2002, and was buried next to my parents.Nine years ago, my three siblings, decided she was not worthy to rest next to them, because they did not approve of her service. They took me to court, and I was required to move her. However, God saw the situation differently, and she was moved to Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Praise God! 🙏

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter! Many people do not understand that we do not have the right to judge each other. A lot of people who call themselves Christians like to judge other people, even saying who will and who will not go to heaven. Just like the Pharisees, they are hypocrites. In life, we have the right to remove ourselves from people who endanger us. That’s it. We have no right to judge the souls of others. Disagreeing with your daughters service, and therefore rejecting her, is not what Christ taught. Matthew 7: 1-6

[@matthewhawkins1472]

I am a 48 year old man and my body is failing me. I have struggled with my faith most of my life. My legs have recently just stopped working and I’m trying not to be angry and bitter. God has shown me great miracles and blessed me so much more than I have deserved. I appreciate your message so much and ask our father to continue blessing you and helping you with your servitude. All my love to you and yours brother.

[@tamararutland-mills9530]

God bless you. I understand. I have spinal damage and need to commit my pain into God’s hands on an almost daily basis. If it were not for morphine, I would not be able to walk. Instead of calling out into the darkness about why people were allowed to do this to me, about why the pain is not healed: I found many blessings in calling in the light, thanking God for trusting me with this trial and promising to love Him even if the pain gets worse. A priest told me one time to offer my pain up to God for the salvation of souls and that it should be used for this purpose. I feel better when I am thanking God and blessing Him for the pain. My 🙏 for you that you will be able to withstand everything that the devil throws at you. What satan means for harm, God means for your good. Genesis 50:20

[@MrDavenez]

I am praying for you, I know Jesus can still perform miracles even in 2023. I feel like God put it on my heart to tell you this. 💯 I heard "Get Up" not sure what the issues are with your legs but whatever your being told to do to help yourself just do it and try and don't give up !

By the way when the apostle says *"Humble yourselves before the Lord"*, the word humble literally means to reduce one's own stature, to reduce one's own height. I have often found that the best way to reduce one's own stature is by bending those knees. I hope the one reading this comment is blessed by this insight.

Thank you brother you just opened my eyes and my mind. Your explanation is so simple and beautiful. Even though I'm not Christian but I had loved Jesus from a very young age. I'm currently reading the bible to understand who Jesus is on own my own but some time I don't know what's going on. But today is the first I saw you at once I know Jesus has sent you to me to hear more about and Jesus and who God.

[@maryfolks9368]

That's wonderful. If you believe that Jesus is the son of God and that He died on the cross for ALL of our sins then you my friend are a child of God. Your comment reminded me of how I've felt before. Especially being raised in a southern Baptist church where we were taught we would go to hell if we sinned and we have to be and do good to get into heaven. That's so not God's desire for all of us. Anyways God bless you on your journey to learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. We will meet in heaven.

[@patrickpalacio2047]

Hey brother keep it up. You are doing an amazing job and I don't even know you. The battle against the flesh and spirit is really tough and very important to overcome. I love Yeshuah and I know where we are prophetically speaking. I've been using fentanyl meth Xanax for years. I don't know why I am having such a hard time getting clean. I don't want to be left behind when the Rapture happens. You are blessed to be sober. And you are being a blessing to others by teaching them tools to stay sober and hopefully The Gospel as well.

[@pjfountaine7755]

Hang in there, brother. You don’t have to have a perfect presentation to make a positive impact on the lives of others. You are doing a very good thing. Over twenty years ago, Jesus Christ set me free; I was demonized, have struggled with some things myself, but I know that demons DO recognize the Lord Yeshua, aka Jesus Christ. When people see what He did for YOU, and hear from your own heart and mouth what changes have taken place because of the Lord Jesus, that is a powerful way to get them to listen to you. This brother did an amazing job of digging deeper into the meaning of this account, and pointed out things i never knew about the Legion reference. I have always felt akin to the demoniac, and how after being set free from demonic oppression, his only desire was to go along, leaving all behind, and just be with Jesus. I always loved this chapter, but i have an even deeper understanding now of the significance of the deed of casting the demons into 2,000 pigs, to be drowned in the sea. Just like Pharoah’s army. I never knew that. So i wish you strength and joy in the Holy Spirit as you continue to minister to other addicts. Addiction does have a spiritual aspect to it. Thank the Lord He set you and i and so many others, FREE. Be blessed and Shalom.

We've been friends since we were teenagers and through the years she became ill I forget what it's called cuz so many of those medical words are similar but her her back was one of those swaybacks that just progressively got worse and now she's literally like the lady in Luke chapter 12 I believe it is but she's bent in half she looks at the ground as she's walking and she follows the back of your feet so if we're going someplace I always walk in front of her and slowly because she has to use a cane just for balance but she also has problems with her neck even when she sits down she has a hole in her esophagus or something that just happened but she is such a wonderful person and she's an inspiration she gets going all the time she won't miss one church thing even if she has to be late she'll be there and I have health issues and quite a few I'm mentally good but you know I have back issues and I don't want to go into my health issues but enough that it keeps me from doing things sometimes quite a bit really and I ended up at 57 filing for social security disability and I won my case first time out if that's that makes any sense this is a long comment but I'm hoping that you read it and it becomes an inspiration to you to help me pray for my two friends Marianne and the menopausal lady need tremendous powerful prayer I know God can raise my friend Marianne and make her stand up straight I really believe that and I just adore her I mean I look up to her and she's younger than me I look up to her because not because of her knowledge of the Bible although she and I compete when it comes to the trivia that our church plays sometimes but I admire the fact that she just will not miss church part of that is out of fear she told me but whatever her reason is I'm just humbled that she can be in worse condition than myself and not make any kind of excuses to miss church it doesn't matter what the church meeting is about because we have two ladies Bible studies you know regular Sunday twice and Wednesday night we have a game night for everybody and everybody brings food and they play 42 and the other people play different games that don't enjoy 42 and we do that in our fellowship hall and then we have once a month the roadrunners that's for the you know older people mostly retired and we go someplace to eat once a month together and the fellowship is just truly incredible and we have a church of about 100 and they are faithful good tithers everything we have in a church is paid for we owe nobody anything and with the other money we support 25 missionaries around the world and my church where my brother is my pastor we also help every person in the church in one way or another of course usually with money they pay the rent or they need new tires on their vehicle whatever we can't do everything for everybody but my brother makes those decisions and the Bible teaches us that a man who gives a lot will never lack and I think that's the whole thing to our church as well to my brother's own investments because most of his life he worked secular jobs to support his family and the church now he does not have to work but that doesn't mean he's not out every single day serving the lord he just doesn't have to put a roof on I used to do roofing used to buy and sell cars he'd do anything to support his family and the church until the church was able to support himself but I'm just saying he used his money to invest his own money to invest and now he's very comfortable and he's very generous I mean I'm never even met a person that's as generous as he is except him he is exceptional not because he's my brother but because he is a true servant of God it's a I mean he's really kind gentle I live with him now and since his wife passed away the respect I get from him as a woman that I've never received before it really blows my mind I mean if I have a can of Coke and I said it on the table he'll open it for me I don't even ask him he just opens it for me and I'm thinking I can do that no he's a gentleman and he and he laughs a lot and he smiles a lot and he tells jokes and he's such a positive person but not like Joel Osteen which I don't know personally but I'm just saying he's such a wonderful pastor and I am just trying to figure out why we can't heal people yo some people get well of course anyway this is way too long I don't even know if it'll print just wanted to say something to you that this is an awesome channel I did subscribe and like God bless you also

[@jackiedavison9898]

Karen King. You can lay your hands on friends back and speak healing to it.

[@sharidandan4172]

Amen!! Love the Lord. Jesus says "if you love me keep my commandments" this is true love, and it includes 4 commandments that deal with our relationship with God and 6 commandments that deal with loving our neighbor.

[@johnharrison5656]

There’s also a terrifying lesson we learn from the pig owners, who asked, Jesus, to leave. If you reject, Jesus, he will leave you alone! Great video and God bless

[@KG-jx8zt]

I love your enthusiasm for God's word. I get a lot of insight from your videos. 😊

[@lesliesmith3452]

I was in tears 😭😭😭😭 literally I was not humble enough!!

[@dane_with_swag]

Oooooh, now I get the thumbnail! You sneaky one

[@68HC060]

That is a brilliant thumbnail (and very well 'drawn'). We're all pigs and we're trying to hide it beyond our hard exterior. =)

[@isaactorres5908]

What I Love and have come to learn from scripture is that there is always multiple layers to GOD'S working.. it is mind blowing..GODS wisdom is awesome...

[@jasonforrest9833]

Gods not for some. He is for all. God bless all my brothers and sisters across the globe.

[@celineghiara9674]

You just proved that one does not have to be a religious priest to convey Jesus’s message. This is the best explanation of Jesus’s teaching. Thank you mr. Robbins.

[@guardianoftruth1468]

This was an awesome revelation!!! Thank you God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for all that you are and share with us! "You can't look down on someone, when you are at the feet of Jesus!" Love this line, such wonderful truth!

[@DaddyKratosOfTheShire]

My friend you have made me go from having a junk drawer to having a stand up very nice tool box.

[@bendixon8704]

The Jews may have believed the Messiah was only coming for them, but Isaiah and King David made it quite obvious that the Christ would save the gentiles as well.

[@TheGhettoDebutante]

Yes God! Guys it's so easy. We can't look down when we are facing his feet....I am seeking you God. I know you are neat today

[@kathrynrudolph5121]

God's Word is alive. I've read this scripture many times. But through you He has opened my eyes to see things I'd missed before. Thank you, Brandon. Blessings to you.

[@lisamilus1002]

Amen! Thank you Brandon🙏✝️

[@chrisbenavides5042]

"If you love me, keep my commandments. " John 14:15 "Yes indeed! I tell you that whoever trusts in me will also do the works I do! John 14:12 Yeshua didn't just walk the Torah perfectly, he is the Torah! John 1:1-14

[@melaniegeidel4458]

God bless .thankyou brother God is good 🤗💕 Sending love from South Australia 💕🇦🇺

[@lorraineyazbek7407]

Brandon don't ever stop teaching the Bible. I will be your most attentive and eager to learn more pupil. I wish l had another 12hours to my day just to listen to and work with you! Thank you for all your insights.

[@BrandonRobbinsMinistry]

Thank you so much, Lorraine!

[@elladumaplin6922]

I come across your channel while surfing you tube aimlessly.I believe Jesus did this for me. You see,I am a devout Catholic but not at all well versed with the Bible.Your vlogs are all teachable moments for me,personally. I am binging all your vlog offerings and it is so incredible because I am learning so much. Thank you so,so very much. I am so enriched by your incredible knowledge.I pray that Our Lord bless you and your family.Please continue to do what you are doing.

[@BrandonRobbinsMinistry]

That's wonderful! I'm so glad God is using them to help you grow!

[@lisakearney75]

Dear Brandon, Thank you. Using your gift teaching the Bible, with enthusiasm that is catching! I have in these past few years, taken a deeper interest reading my Bible. The newer translations are helpful, but I must say you bring an even clearer understanding. By including historical background, it is so helpful, it brings biblical times alive! May many more come to know a true relationship with GOD, through His Son, Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I am blessed, thank you!

[@kimberlymiller3262]

I am seeking ONLY what JESUS can do! Profound teaching!

[@julieprice4328]

God is Good. He always is leading me to wonderful site's, like this one. God bless you and your family 💞🙏

[@butitissinandkillsthesoul5122]

I have been a Christian for decades. I have never heard teaching like this on this passage about the demoniac & the pigs. This is very illuminating how it relates to the exodus and that it Jesus IS God. Wow. Thank you for this amazing teaching.

[@barbarakuhn3239]

You're right I'll never look at those Bible verses the same again awesome teaching absolutely awesome

[@madmanjim795]

That was fantastic! I continually seek to know the cultural and historical background in order to truly understand the writers' intent. Good job brother!! Liked and subscribed :)

[@stevenrule1314]

This was the first video I have ever seen of yours. I’m just seeing this now, 45 years in the making. Right on time. I love the way you break things down. You have earned yourself a new sub. Keep preaching and teaching brother. Be blessed

[@BrandonRobbinsMinistry]

Thank you so much!

[@0...00..19]

This reminds me of a time where I got into an argument with a close friend after he said something like "I'm not a Christian, I'm Buddhist" that's when I said it doesn't matter we all need to be saved no matter what you consider yourself

[@tofumonster8913]

Wow.. Thanks for sharing 🙏 I didn't know the symbolic meaning of a boar. In Charismatic churches, we only hear about the deliverance aspect. I'm grateful for your sharing.. It's so much richer when you explain history, culture, and context. 👍👍👍

[@johnrobinson9639]

Yes I have been seeking what only Jesus can give and that is salvation for my soul

[@sky4u52]

Thank God he brought me there. And thank you so much for opening my eyes, I needed it so much to go further! You have done an amazing job

[@v3708]

My pastor is JD Farag and it's the most wonderful experience when you finally understand the Word and know he's preaching soley from God's guidance and strictly the Word. He's on KZbin.

[@DG-mv6zw]

There's a lot of depth to the account of the woman with the issue of blood. Being "unclean", she was suffering: - Physically -Financially (she spent all she had on doctors) - Spiritually (She was denied entry to worship and learn in the temple) Socially (She was an outcast with regard to her own family and her community) - Psychologically ( She was afflicted for 12 years and rather than getting better, grew worse, which has a profound psychologist effect.) Essentially, I believe Jesus brought all these broken parts of her life together in one single act. Interestingly, Jairus may have been the very person who kept her out of the synogoge and enforced the cleanliness laws. Many thanks for sharing your observations and for bringing these accounts alive in such a dynamic way Gods blessing on you, brother.👍

[@angelapoulos9290]

Why can’t I find a church where preaching is done like this? I am blessed to have come across you🙏💙

[@ApolloThyrteen]

Pray God lead you to one. I did.

[@everyoneluvsraybeez]

Brilliant, and yet just one of the “mysteries” of the Bible, all of which can be seen with careful study & examination of His word. We must seek Him & yearn with all our heart to be with Him in that secret place. He saves & loves you so much!

[@anemjoful]

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all things will be added unto you. In Jesus's name , Amen.

[@jesusistruth6673]

I don't have anyone around me to read Mark with, but I will read it with a different perspective now, the way you explained it was awesome thank you. I've read Mark but didn't really see how powerful it was til now. May God bless you. 🙏🏻🤗 Lord Jesus Christ will have All the Glory 🤗🙏🏻

[@robertlee3]

Just wonderful. Historical context is everything in the Bible. It brings it to life and gives it deep meaning, practical meaning for us even here today. I've read this dozens of times but never gave the correlation a thought.

[@Krullmatic]

I was watching other videos about history, and stories from Mr. Ballen. I was getting ready to click on another video, and my thumb twitched, and "accidentally" clicked on yours. I am a Christian, but not a very strong one. I was raised in church, but got saved only 3 years ago. I was strong in studying the Bible at first, and I used to pray everyday, but I've really benn slacking nowadays. There are no coincidences. God had me click on this video, and I'm so glad that he did! God Bless! 🙏❤🙏

[@thebeliever78]

This is some of the best teaching that I have ever heard, I had to subscribe. May God continue to bless you.🙏🏽

[@carlkusch688]

Not to short change the second half of your lesson. I agree with "Step One" who said that your statement "You can't lay at the feet of Yeshua and look down on someone" is probably one of the most powerful statements I heard. Thank you, Brandon.

[@markschultz1606]

I don't look down on others, I see it as condemnation-and by doing so I condem myself. Before I found Jesus, of course I did-self exaltation fuels pride.

[@morganophelia5963]

Christ also had mercy upon the demons by not sending them to the abyss before there time . Amen. ♥️🙏

[@mollyjoshi327]

Jesus is our only Saviour. He is our loving God. Thanks for your teaching. God bless your ministry.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

The connections made in this video were new to me and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard each of the stories with the accompanying sermon. It’s like the connection didn’t exist or something. The sermons were good I’m sure but it’s almost as if they were superficial . Thank you for making the connection!

[@mimcdo2639]

Hi I'm Miguel from Ohio , I believe the 3rd time I watch your You Tube Videos. But this one hit me with Wisdom & Understanding , Thanks to your kindness, clear interpretation and I do like your style simple and only talking from sacred scriptures. I see how joyful,peaceful you explain to us that transmit the same joy and peace to us in this case to me. In life we must be grateful every single day and in the Name of Jesus my Blessings to you & Families for your mission serving others in this assignment. 🙌🙏

[@leahtemple8576]

I recently started watching The Chosen and after binging seasons 1-3, some things were still not clear. I was blessed to have found your KZbin channel. I really appreciate how you bring so much clarity to some areas I did not quite understand. Not only that but you explain and have helped me to understand so much within the Bible. I am so grateful for your channel and The Chosen. My life has been changed. Thank you!

[@debifambro1039]

I praise God for your teaching. This is a keeper to remind me that I can't look down on others while laying at the feet of JESUS ✝️🙏❤. After watching this I decided to watch the movie, Gladiator, to see and understand legions. What Jesus could do is beyond words. Thank you.

[@gospelfrankie2745]

Glory to God amen thanks

[@Enconscienator]

Thank you, Matthew! To go a bit further the Greek word used for “herd” of pigs was commonly used for a cohort of new Roman soldier recruits. Additionally, the Greek verb used when Jesus gave the demons “permission” or “gave them leave” is the same verb used to give soldiers leave!

[@warrenrodgers7544]

Humbly ask Jesus he will answer

[@davidsurprenant5864]

Thank you I needed to humble myself before the feet of Jesus and also ask forgiveness from others. I see now how I looked down on other people. I don't want to do that anymore. Thank you Yeshua
