Drive out Spirits

Matthew 12:27-29

New International Version (NIV)

^“27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. ²⁸ But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

   ²⁹ “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.”

We all have seen or heard of exorcisms, usually performed by Catholic Priests in horror movies and documentaries. This practice of our authority to expel demons has been perverted and twisted to a point to where it is no longer done under the authority of Jesus Christ but from a dark source.

When you attempt to expel a demon from someone or something, and you are first and foremost, not a believer in Jesus Christ let alone understand, biblically, your authority in Christ to do so, you are putting yourself and whoever else is involved at risk. Dealing with demonic spirits is not child’s play and should be taken seriously.

You cannot expel a demon without the name of Jesus or the blood of Jesus!

When you enter into an exorcism/expulsion of a demon in someone, you face potentially allowing more spirits into the person and put yourself and others at risk of unknowingly opening “doors” that allow spirits into your lives.

Those who enter an exorcism/expulsion of a demon in someone who are believers, but do not quite understand their authority through Jesus and do not actually use the name of Jesus Christ or the blood of Jesus in their session, they risk the same as the none believers who do so and will take a long time to see any manifestations.

Always be prepared when you are planning to do an expulsion.

Some of the requirements for expulsion:

·         Have a Pastor or leader who is knowledgeable in the area.

·         Study scriptures about your authority to cast out demons/foul spirits.

·         Use the blood of Jesus and Name of Jesus (verbally)

·         Only have the people who are actually participating in the room (no onlookers) if possible.

·         Have a waiver for those who are being exercised filled out so as to not be placed in a legal issue if something were to happen that could be misunderstood.
