AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF JESUS (1)




“And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils…” Mark 16:17-18

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: You don’t have to be a Christian for twenty years to cast out devils.

Someone who received Christ into his life just moments ago can cast out devils. This goes to prove how much Satan has been defeated. Satan is no longer a factor. He has become very insignificant. Every born again child of God is superior to Satan. He lives the God-kind of life. Therefore, keeping Satan in check isn’t a question of how strong or spiritual you think you are; it’s about Jesus and the authority He’s given you. For you walk and live in His Name. Satan has no right to run things in your life or that of your family. Exercise your authority over Satan by casting him out. You can cast out demons any day, anytime and anywhere simply by using the Name of Jesus. When you address Satan and his cohorts of darkness in the Name of Jesus, they respond as though they were hearing directly from Jesus. So, in dealing with Satan and his cohorts, you don’t have to negotiate. Simply cast him out! The devil has no choice than to flee when you use the name of Jesus because the Name of Jesus is an authority. You do not need any special prayer sessions to cast out devils. Jesus only cast out devils with his words. As a born again child of God, you simply need to command the devil out and he will obey simply because you use the Name of Jesus.

Authority is in the name of Jesus. Walking in His Name is you recognizing the power and authority of that Name; living in the consciousness of what that Name represents. Philippians 2:9-10 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every other name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth”. The Name of Jesus has moved from being just letters to an office. You can’t call his name in the knowledge of what that name represents and still debate whether or not the demons will respond when you want to cast them out; they have no choice but to flee. The Word of God settles it: your role is to cast the devil out, and the devil’s responsibility is to flee! There is no basis for argument or debates.

INSTRUCTION: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers; raise the dead, cast out devils. You have been empowered.

PRAYER: Lord, I exercise my authority in Christ to keep the principalities and rulers of darkness perpetually under my feet, in Jesus name.

QUOTE: The Name of Jesus is an authority.
