TB Joshua Starts By Reading Book of Mark
Mark 5:1-5 (KJV)
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

Mark 5:36
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
TB Joshua Gives Interpretation
- I have no other refuge than this command of Jesus, 'Only Believe'
- Me believing you is different than me believing God. For God is spirit and you can only believe by spirit power. You must depend on spirit power for strength and communion with God.
- We worship God in spirit when all of our acts of worship -- dancing, meditating, singing, praying, jubilating -- are regulated by the Word of God. [Jesus] does nothing without his Word.
- Only when we truly believe our heart will be at rest.
- Have faith on the finish work of Christ.
- If believers are not careful they will be deceived when in desperation. When Jesus was tempted by Satan to eat bread, Jesus was hungry but not desperate.
Matthew 4:3-4
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
- We are to be sons of God with power. We are to be born again with power. We are to be born again evangelist, Christian, pastor, prophet, etc. with power.
- To be saved is to have revelation of the glory of Christ Jesus. What is this revelation?
