When we are thinking about God—the Father, Son or Holy Spirit—and the spiritual conflict that rages in the spiritual dimension beyond our five senses, we must not think of Him as a superhero trying to defeat a supervillain whose power rivals or maybe exceeds His own. He is God Almighty! There is nothing and no one whose power and authority rivals that of Jehovah God. We see this to be true in the next passage we will be studying today in Luke 8. This is the second section of a group of miracles that Jesus performs in this chapter. Last week, we studied the text where Jesus calmed the winds and the waves while in a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee. The next three miracles (Luke 8:26-56) include the casting out of demons, the healing of the sick and raising the dead back to life—each one representing “a different sphere of activity (nature to demons to disease to death).”
