They Will Cast Out Demons?
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Genesis 1:28
"And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; "they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. Mark 16:17-20
Deception and demonization of Christians today is the norm rather than the exception. Because they are not walking in the power of God's might and His truth and are not putting on the armor of God, or standing in all the promises of God, today's Christendom is demonized, anemic, impotent, incompetent and fearful just like the children of Israel were when they came out of Egypt and never went into the Promised Land. They are more full of fear than they are full of faith and that is a fact!
It's also a fact that Christians who are demonized and have familiar spirits living in them including the spirit of infirmity and deception, cannot deliver others until they themselves are delivered. It's a fact that Jesus spent fifty percent of his ministry time casting out demons, and today's Apostate Christians allow familiar spirits to run rampant in their own lives, churches and society. Sickness of any kind in God's people should not be tolerated but dealt with including the spirits that cause cancer, diabetes's, mental breakdowns, etc. You cannot give others victory until you have victory yourself but God’s word is unchanging:
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." ' Revelation 2:17
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Revelation 3:5
"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. Revelation 3:12
Demons are living things that move on the earth and we are commanded to subdue them and have dominion over them because God's word is unchanging:
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Matthew 28:18-20
"how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38
Casting out demons is a command of Jesus and many churches like having demons operating freely in them and around them and they cannot do anything about them but just pray. They cast out Christians instead of demons! How stupid can you be and still breathe? Very stupid! But God's word is unchanging:
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Matthew 10:8
"But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Matthew 12:28
Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, 3:15 and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: Mark 3:14-15
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Corinthians 7:1
Casting out demons by the Spirit of God is a sign that kingdom of God has come upon us not just empty preaching devoid of truth and power! God's power includes healing sicknesses and casting out demons which is something that the majority of Christians including dumb fundamentalist evangelical pastors don't do and then they say they are Christians? Hogwash! They are disobedient rebels, carnal fleshly ones, who are out of the will of God.
The other serious problem with many Christians in North America is that materialism has overtaken and choked God’s people in North America to the point they are hardly recognizable as children of God and pure light. They are walking in their fleshly desires and don’t count the cost of their service to self. It is a dear price, greater than if they served God in righteousness and truth. Many of them pay Him lip service but their hearts are far from Him. The bible clearly tells us:
"Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. Matthew 13:22
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran of Jesus Calls Ministry told a story of a certain policeman had no children. Therefore, he adopted his brother's son as his own son. It so happened that after this incident, his wife conceived and gave birth to a son. As the days passed by, the adopted boy thought that if the real heir lives then his adopted parents would give all the money to him. They would not consider him as their child.
With this wicked thought in mind, one day he strangled the little boy and blood came gushing out. When his parents returned and saw this horrifying scene they lamented saying, "Could you not tell us that you wanted money? Why did you do this? We would have willingly given it to you" to the adopted son. Even at a very small age the lure for money had entered and corrupted the mind of that boy.
In the Bible, we see that just for the pleasure of money one of the chosen disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot betrayed Him. For a paltry sum of thirty silver coins he betrayed the innocent blood and killed Him. Yet God’s word is unchanging:
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 1 Corinthians 8:9
The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22
The word of God promises conditional blessings to all of God’s people based on obedience to heeding God’s voice and walking in His ways just like Abraham and Joseph did. The bible tells us:
Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:1-3
So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field. Genesis 39:5
But the other side of this truth is that disobedience brings the curses of God upon our lives, not His blessings. God’s word is unchanging:
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Deuteronomy 28:1-3
“But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. Deuteronomy 28:15-16
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Galatians 6:7
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 3 John 1:2-3
When the blessing of the LORD comes upon a person it includes according to the word of God everything about that person including the work of his hands and his possessions as well as His body, soul and spirit. Hence the sly old devil brings deceivement upon many of God’s people so that they will not walk in the truth of God’s word but in the lies of others who have corrupted, added to or removed from God’s word “the blessing.” For this reason it’s important that everything that we hear that is supposed to be the truth is checked by us with the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of truth and our Counselor, Guide, Teacher and Friend. We need to pray:
Loving Lord,
As You have told, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" help me also to sincerely seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In Your mercy and grace, let not my mind be set upon the love for money which is the root of all kinds of evil. May I discern to use the wealth that You have given me to glorify Your name and spread Your good news to those whom I come in contact with. May Your thought become my thought so that I execute only Your will in this world.
All glory and honour belongs to You alone.
Amen.
