0:05.7	Luke, chapter 8, verse 39. Return to your home and declare how much God has done for you.
0:11.0	And he went away for claiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
0:17.6	Oh, what a great picture this man who had just seen demons go out from him who was
0:24.1	overjoyed and filled with peace and he's healed when Jesus sends him away saying return to your
0:30.6	home declare how much God has done for you and he did it. He went away for claiming throughout
0:36.3	the whole city how much Jesus had done for him. And here's the picture I have when I read this
