In the Bible, the story of Mary Magdalen begins with a gift. Jesus gave her freedom, releasing her from nightmarish bondage. In those days, demon influence was prevalent, and those wicked spirits attacked many people, even entering into some and taking control of them. We do not know what effect the demons had on poor Mary Magdalene; we only know that she had been possessed by seven of those vicious, perverted bullies. And thanks to Jesus Christ, they were all evicted! - LUKE 8:2.
Free at last and relieved beyond measure, Mary had a whole new life before her. How could she show her gratitude? She became a loyal follower of Jesus. She also responded to a need that she saw Jesus and his apostles needed food, clothing, and a place to sleep at night. They were not men of wealth, and they were not doing any secular work at the time. In order to focus on preaching and teaching, they needed material support.
