Matt.8:28 When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes,{NU reads "Gadarenes"} two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way. 8:29 Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?" 8:30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them. 8:31 The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs." 8:32 He said to them, "Go!" They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water. 8:33 Those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons. 8:34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

Many find this account troubling, difficult to say the least? Human's believe they have control of their lives, but perhaps not as much as this world teaches them. The bible speaks truth, not from a human point a view necessarily, but God's point of view seeing human affairs for thousands of years. We are told the whole world is under the power of wicked spirit force and we have a wrestling not with flesh and blood, but these unseen spirit force in heavenly places.

Genesis 6:13 God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

But why are wicked spirit force interested in being in contact with flesh? This is not an exaggeration the entire bible is about flesh and spirit the contest between the two. The rebellion causing the great flood at Noah time was over the exceedingly wicked spirit son's whom came to earth to have intercourse with flesh, that is, woman. That corruption became great in the earth, evil and violence increased to the point God was moved to save what was left of mankind in the flesh, Noah, and his family.

Galatians 5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

God than put rebellious angels into prison and did not allow this contact any longer. However, there was still another group not in prison those born from this unnatural union of angels spirit son's of God with human flesh, the Nephilim. They unlike spirit son's of God had both spirit and flesh bodies, they could not flee to heaven, when their fleshly bodies died in the flood, which was not their home (heaven), instead earth was their home barred from heaven.

Gen.6:4The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 6:5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

They wanted contact with human flesh to feel alive this than is where demon possession comes from. The depravity in demons to be in contact with flesh prompted them to beg Christ not to put them completely out of flesh, but allow them contact with pig flesh.

These creature are still about us causing much evil and wickedness in our earth, they were a very violent unnatural creation one God did not authorizes to be created, we should not be surprised at the depth of corruption they are in? On the other hand, Christ demonstrated his power over such evilness with a word!

Matthew 17:18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

We as Christian's can never fight fire with fire, flesh with flesh or we will be consumed by evil found in depraved demons bent on taking control of flesh through violence; those walking in their flesh and its corrupt thinking have little or no protection. Let us walk in love, having the Spirit mind of Christ guarding our hearts for eternal life. Moreover, those in religion bent on judgments of the flesh, in works of law, are easy prey for demons because a person cannot put away the filth of the flesh by works of laws. To kill the fleshes power, a person must be purchased by the blood of Christ requesting a clean conscious something the demons cannot posses by guilty of the flesh trying to redeem itself by works. The greater we give power to the flesh and its works, by judgment of sin, the greater allowance of demonic control.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:15 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

Galatians 2:16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

The power of sin is the law, the more law the greater the guilt of sins which the unseen demons can uses against us. The greater the forgiveness of guilt the less power we give to flesh, that should be dead in Christ.

Galatians 5:4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

Galatians 2:21 I don't make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!"
