LEGION

Snippet

Living in the woods does strange things to lonely men. — Paul Doiron

Scripture

Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.

 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.

 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. Luke 8:30-39

AMOS MOSES BY JERRY REED

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOdJSN-TWjk

Well Amos Moses was a Cajun,

He lived by himself in the swamp.

He hunted alligators for a livin,

He just knocked 'em in the head with a stump.

The Louisiana law gonna get ya Amos

It ain't legal hunting alligators down in the swamp, boy

Well everybody blames his old man,

For makin' him mean as a snake,

When Amos Moses was a boy

His daddy would use him for alligator bait.

Tie a rope around his neck, and throw him in the swamp,

Alligator bit him in a Louisiana bayou

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna

hey raised up a son who could eat up his weight in groceries,

Named him after a man of the cloth,

Called him Amos Moses

Well, the folks around south Louisiana

Said Amos was a hell of a man

He could trap the biggest, the meanest  alligator

And just use one hand

That's all he's got left cause an alligator bit him

Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos

Was in the swamp huntin' alligator skins

So he snuck in the swamp, gonna getcha boy,

But he never come out again.

Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to?

You can sure get lost in a Louisiana bayou!

About 45 minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana

Lived a man named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna

They raised a son who could eat up his weight in groceries,

Named him after a man of the cloth,

Called him Amos Moses

Sentence Prayer

Father,

Send me home

To tell the story of

The legions of unclean spirits

Jesus has set me free from

Holy Spirit create a thirst in me

For holiness this freedom brings

Amen
