The Finger Of God! (Casting Out Evil Spirits)

 



When Jesus and His apostles commanded evil spirits to come out of people, they left quickly!

Acts 16:16-19

"Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days.

But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities."

My goodness how much we need the power of the Holy Spirit operating in the body of Christ and the world today! 

What Paul did was no show, it wasn't some drawn out battle between good and evil for days and weeks, like you see in those exorcism movies or documentaries! Paul commanded the evil spirit to come out of the woman and it came out in the same hour! 

When Jesus, the Son of Almighty God cast out demons, they came out immediately!

Luke 4:31-37

"Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority. Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region."

Luke 11:4-20

"And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven. But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you."

When you see or hear about a days or weeks long battle to cast an evil spirit out of somebody you have to question whether or not they have the Spirit of God working through them!

When you need deliverance from evil spirits, call on Jesus! Ask Him to send you somebody truly filled with His power and His Holy Spirit, and when the demon is commanded to come out, and it comes out quickly, then you will know that the kingdom of God has come upon you!

In Christ,

How To Be Delivered - Derek Prince

This is another great message from Derek and it helped me to understand much better the workings of evil spirits in the flesh of man.

I myself received some deliverance after watching these videos and going through the prayers of deliverance with Derek. Watch them even if you think you don't need any deliverance, you will definitely learn something if your ears are open to hear.

In His Love,
Tyrone
