CASTING OUT DEMONS WITH THE REVELATION OF CHRIST'S DIVINITY
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
" Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded." Acts 19: ,13-16
'And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;" Mark 16:17
Demons are fallen angels on a mission to fulfill the devil's mission to kill , steal and destroy .Jesus Christ gave the born again believer power to cast out demons the day you received him as lord and saviour Luke 10:19 . Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.' You have power over Satan and his demons. Hallelujah.
The yoke-destroying anointing dwells in the born again believer . The Bible says in 1 John 26 -27"These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.'
The three reasons why God's people struggle to cast out demons are 1) Pride 2) practising a known sin and 3) the love for money or deceitfulness of riches .These are the qualities of a religious Christian and not a born again believer. The born again believer is one with Jesus Christ in sprit , soul and body , therefore , whenever demons look at them , they see Jesus Christ .
The born again believer is driven by the conviction of the divinity of Jesus Christ. The Bible says " That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;" Colossians 1:10-11. This scripture says you are as powerful as the revelation you have of the divinity of Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:13-19 explains why demons feared Apostle Paul. It was the revelation he had of Jesus Christ as God. Those demons saw Paul in the image of Jesus Christ but saw the religious Christian ( Sons of Sceva) as powerless mere mortals.
Satan is not moved by religious people , he is moved by the revelation in the name of Jesus Christ
Philippians 2:10-11' That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Prayer ; Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and ask that you fill me with your Holy Spirit and power to heal the sick. Amen.
