Plenty, but not too much for God

Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss. Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
Luke 8:26-33 (NKJV)

This man had been possessed, tossed, manipulated, tormented and under a free-fall use by demons and the adversary. They even seized him and made him out of touch with life and made his place tombs in the wilderness. Some today continue to be hounded by unrelenting attacks of the adversary causing them to unconsciously give in under the constant pressure, stress and numbers of their attackers and challenges. The Lord saw this man of Gadarenes and asked what his name was, instead the tormentors and demons responded... Legion (plenty).

As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me. The foreigners fade away, and come frightened from their hideouts.
Psalm 18:44-46 (NKJV)

Their numbers couldn't stand before the King of kings. They quivered, trembled and came out of their hiding places and strongholds from which they tormented and dominated. They faded away at the presence of the son of God. As long as we continue to operate in the Lord's presence, strangers, cultures, influences, etc with any evil agenda will not have a way around us. They may be many, but one with God will always be in the majority and overcome.
