Meditation for Day 15 from the Northumbria Community.

THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT When an unclean spirithas gone out of someone,it wanders through dry places,seeking rest and finding none.
Then it says,'I will return into the houseI came out of.'And when it gets thereit finds the house empty,swept,and put in order.
Then it goes,and brings alongseven other spiritsmore evil than itself,and they enter inand settle there:and the last state of that personis worse than the first.
Even so shall it bewith this evil generation.Matthew 12:43-45
Legend says that when Satan raised his giant battle-axe against Heaven's gates, God's shaft of lightning struck it from his hand. The flaming axe fell into the North Sea, and was changed into the thousand-acre island of Lindisfarne.Through the centuries this bit of lore concerning God's victory inspired those who lived on, or visited the island, to keep Satan's power underfoot ...
Lord, show us the things that are binding the work You have called forth on Holy Island.Help us to loose YOUR work,and let it goin resurrection power.
