AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF JESUS (2)




“And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with the spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: the same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, these men are the servants of the most high God, which shew us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the Name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour” Acts 16:16-18

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: You do not need a special prayer session to handle the devil because the name of Jesus is an authority.

Believers in Christ Jesus cannot be possessed by demons because the spirit of Christ is at work in them. One of the signs that follow believers is the demonstration of the authority that is in the Name of Jesus. The same way Jesus cast out the devils is the same way he healed the sick by just speaking over them. Matthew 8:16 says, “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick”. You do not need a special prayer and deliverance session to cast out the devil. All you need is knowledge. You need to know that the Name of Jesus is an authority and therefore, whatever you declare in the Name of Jesus stands. In Mark 1:22-23, the devil wanted to get into a conversation with Jesus; but Jesus knowing his authority did not discuss with him but he rather cast him out. Your authority functions in your position. Therefore, you need to know your position in Christ. Never allow the devil to bring you into a conversation. If you do that, it means that you do not know your right in Christ.

You do not need the Holy Ghost to cast out devils. All you need is the Name of Jesus. Luke 10:17 says, “And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name”. One of the signs that follow a believer is demonstrating the authority of the Name of Jesus by casting out devils. If this sign is not in you, there is need to check what you believe. Jesus speaking to his disciples in Mark 16:17-18 says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover”. 

INSTRUCTION: The Name of Jesus is not common. Never see it as common.

PRAYER: Father, I enforce my right as a believer in Christ Jesus, in Jesus name.

QUOTE: Your authority functions in your position.
