01:07 COME ON NOW. 01:09 BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ANYWHERE YOU GO IN THE WORLD AND JUST ABOUT 01:12 ANYBODY'S LIFE AT SOME POINT THERE ARE THESE MINIONS OF 01:17 DARKNESS THAT SCARE US. 01:21 THE BIBLE HAS ANOTHER NAME FOR THEM, THEY'RE KNOWN AS DEMONS, 01:27 DEVILS OR EVIL SPIRITS. 01:31 AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH THE WORD OF GOD HAS TO SAY 01:36 ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, "HOW TO DEFEAT DEMONS, DEVILS 01:41 AND EVIL SPIRITS." 01:42 AND THERE ARE EVEN THOSE WHO PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIANS THAT 01:45 SAY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEVILS AND EVIL SPIRITS 01:50 OR DEMONS. 01:51 THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN THEM ANYMORE THAN THEY BELIEVE 01:53 IN BOOGEYMEN. 01:56 BUT YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL IF YOU SAY YOU'RE A BIBLE CHRISTIAN 01:59 BECAUSE JESUS BELIEVED IN 'EM AND HE DEALT WITH THEM 02:05 AND HE TALKS ABOUT THEM. 02:08 AND YOU AND I ARE GIVEN A WORK TO DO IN RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE 02:12 EVIL SPIRITS. 02:14 WE HAVE A DIVINE MANDATE FROM THE LORD IN HOW WE OUGHT TO 02:19 RELATE WITH THESE FORCES OF EVIL. 02:22 MARK 16:17, JESUS IS ABOUT TO ASCEND TO HEAVEN. 02:28 PART OF HIS GREAT COMMISSION, FINAL UTTERANCE. 02:32 "AND THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE." 02:35 IT DOESN'T SAY THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW THE APOSTLES, 02:39 IT SAYS THOSE WHO BELIEVE. 02:41 BY THE WAY, ISN'T THAT SUPPOSED TO BE ALL OF US WHO ARE SAVED? 02:46 "THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE. 02:49 IN MY NAME, THEY WILL CAST OUT DEMONS." 02:51 IT'S INTERESTING HE WOULD MENTION THAT FIRST. 02:55 "IN MY NAME THEY WILL CAST OUT DEMONS." 02:58 THEN HE GOES ON THEY'LL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES AND 02:59 THERE'S OTHER SIGNS. 03:01 BUT I WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE LAST WORDS OF JESUS MAY 03:06 BE SHOULD HAVE A FIRST PRIORITY AMONG CHRISTIANS. 03:11 IT'S SOMETHING THE BIBLE DEALS WITH. 03:13 IT'S NOT A PLEASANT BUSINESS AND SO YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT SURE 03:17 WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. 03:19 AND I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN THAT THE SUBJECT OF DEVILS AND EVIL 03:23 SPIRITS HAS BEEN EXPLOITED AND SOME PREACHERS HAVE USED IT TO 03:26 FEAR MONGER AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE AND MANIPULATE PEOPLE 03:29 AND SOMETIMES IT'S SPOOKY. 03:31 WHENEVER YOU HEAR ABOUT SOMEONE WHO'S BEING DELIVERED FROM EVIL 03:34 SPIRITS, WE PICTURE SOMEBODY WHO'S WRITHING ON THE GROUND, 03:39 THEIR BACK ARCHED OR THEY'RE SITTING ON THE FLOOR AND THEY'RE 03:44 WHIPPING THEIR HEADS BACK AND FORTH SO FAST, THEIR HAIR CRACKS 03:46 LIKE A WHIP AND THEIR HEAD TURNS AROUND ON THEIR SHOULDERS 03:50 360 DEGREES. 03:54 WE GOT THESE PICTURES WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT EVIL SPIRITS 03:57 AND POSSESSION THAT SCARE US. 03:59 IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE TO JUST SAY, OH REALLY IN 04:03 THE BIBLE WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT DEMON POSSESSION, IT WAS JUST 04:05 ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING DEPRESSED OR MENTALLY DISTURBED. 04:11 IT'S NOT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES. 04:14 THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT. 04:18 "WHERE DO DEVILS AND EVIL SPIRITS COME FROM?" 04:22 YOU KNOW INTERESTING IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, ANGELS HAVE SORT 04:24 OF MADE A COMEBACK. 04:26 YOU CAN HEAR ABOUT ANGELS AND READ ABOUT ANGELS AND EVERYONE 04:29 THINKS ANGELS ARE GREAT. 04:31 PEOPLE HAVE LITTLE CRYSTALS OF ANGELS AND THEY GOT LITTLE ANGEL 04:33 SIGNS AND ANGEL WINGS AND YOU SAY ANGELS AND PEOPLE 04:36 JUST GO "OOH." 04:37 YOU KNOW IT'S WONDERFUL BUT THEY FORGET THAT ABOUT A THIRD 04:39 OF THOSE ANGELS ARE EVIL BUT THEY CAN APPEAR GOOD. 04:47 IT STANDS TO REASON TO ME, IT SAYS IN 2 CORINTHIANS 11 THAT 04:50 SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT SO IT 04:55 SHOULD NOT SURPRISE US IF HIS ANGELS CAN ALSO BE TRANSFORMED 04:59 INTO ANGELS OF LIGHT, EVIL ANGELS THAT CAN APPEAR 05:02 AS GOOD ANGELS. 05:04 GOD DID NOT MAKE DEVILS, GOD MADE BEAUTIFUL ANGELS THAT FELL. 05:09 YOU CAN READ IN ISAIAH 14, SATAN, WHO STARTED OUT AS 05:12 A PERFECT ANGEL, FELL. 05:14 HE WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN. 05:16 ISAIAH 14:12, "HOW YOU ARE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFER, 05:20 SON OF THE MORNING!" 05:22 HE WAS A LIGHT BEARER. 05:25 AND YOU CAN READ THEN IN REVELATION 12:7, 05:28 "AND WAR BROKE OUT IN HEAVEN. 05:30 MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT WITH THE DRAGON AND THE DRAGON 05:35 AND HIS ANGELS." 05:37 CHRIST HAS HIS ANGELS AND THE DRAGON HAS HIS ANGELS; 05:43 FOUGHT BUT THEY DID NOT PREVAIL. 05:45 GOOD NEWS, GOD AND HIS ANGELS ARE STRONGER THAN THE DEVIL 05:49 AND HIS ANGELS. 05:51 "THEY DID NOT PREVAIL NOR WAS THERE PLACE FOR THEM 05:54 IN HEAVEN ANY LONGER." 05:56 BAD NEWS. 05:57 THEY'RE NOT IN HEAVEN ANYMORE, WHERE ARE THEY? 06:00 "WOE TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH FOR THE DEVIL HAS COME 06:03 DOWN UNTO YOU HAVING GREAT WRATH." 06:04 I'LL GET TO THAT IN JUST A MINUTE. 06:07 AND IT SAYS, "THEIR PLACE WAS NOT FOUND IN HEAVEN SO 06:10 THAT GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT SERPENT OF OLD CALLED THE 06:14 DEVIL AND SATAN WHO DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD, HE WAS CAST TO 06:18 THE EARTH AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM." 06:23 NOW THERE'S A STORY IN THE BIBLE I'D LIKE TO DIRECT 06:25 YOUR ATTENTION TO. 06:27 YOU'RE GONNA FIND THIS IN MARK 1 AND IT WILL BEGIN WITH VERSE 21. 06:33 IF I WERE TO ASK YOU, WHAT IS THE FIRST MIRACLE OF JESUS, 06:35 WHAT'S THE FIRST MIRACLE OF JESUS? 06:38 WATER INTO WINE, WATER INTO WINE, THAT'S RIGHT. 06:41 THAT'S IF YOU'RE READING THE GOSPEL OF JOHN, BUT THAT'S 06:45 NOT THE GOSPEL OF MARK. 06:49 THE GOSPEL OF MARK SAYS THE FIRST MIRACLE OF JESUS WAS 06:53 DELIVERING SOMEONE FROM AN EVIL SPIRIT. 06:57 NOW JOHN, WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT MIRACLES, HE WAS THINKING 07:00 ABOUT SOMETHING WHERE YOU SUPERNATURALLY TRANSFORM 07:03 SOMETHING FROM ONE THING TO ANOTHER, YOU KNOW MAYBE HIS 07:06 DEFINITION WAS DIFFERENT. 07:08 AND BASED ON THAT DEFINITION TURNING WATER TO WINE, THAT'S 07:10 IN INANIMATE THINGS OUT HERE AND SPIRITUAL BATTLE, HE MAY NOT 07:13 HAVE QUALIFIED IT THAT WAY. 07:15 BUT IF YOU WANT TO GO BY THE FIRST SUPERNATURAL ENGAGEMENT, 07:20 IT WAS ACTUALLY WHERE JESUS, WHEN HE BEGAN PREACHING, CAST 07:22 THE DEVIL OUT OF SOMEONE. 07:24 WE'RE GONNA READ ABOUT THIS. 07:25 WHAT DID I SAY? 07:26 1 MARK, 1 MARK--MARK 1 FIRST CHAPTER VERSE 21. 07:32 "THEN THEY WENT TO CAPERNAUM AND IMMEDIATELY ON THE SABBATH 07:36 HE ENTERED THE SYNAGOGUE AND TAUGHT." 07:38 THIS IS RIGHT AFTER CHRIST BEGINS HIS PREACHING MINISTRY. 07:41 HE'S JUST CALLED PETER, JAMES, JOHN AND ANDREW TO FOLLOW HIM, 07:46 SMALL ENSEMBLE OF APOSTLES. 07:49 "AND THEY WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS TEACHING FOR HE TAUGHT THEM 07:53 AS ONE HAVING AUTHORITY, NOT AS THE SCRIBES." 07:55 BY THE WAY THAT'S REPEATED IN MATTHEW 7:28, JESUS TAUGHT 07:58 WITH AUTHORITY. 08:00 NOW WHAT'S THE EVIDENCE OF HIS AUTHORITY? 08:02 NOTICE HERE. 08:03 "NOW THERE WAS A MAN IN THE SYNAGOGUE WITH AN UNCLEAN 08:06 SPIRIT, AND HE CRIED OUT SAYING, "LET US ALONE--" IT SOUNDS 08:13 LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT, "US." 08:17 "LET US ALONE. 08:18 WHAT HAVE WE TO DO WITH YOU, JESUS OF NAZARETH? 08:22 DID YOU COME TO DESTROY US? 08:25 I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, THE HOLY ONE OF GOD." 08:28 WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE THE MAN-- FIRST OF ALL, HE'S GOT 08:30 HIS PLURAL AND SINGULAR ALL SCRAMBLED UP HERE 08:34 WHICH IS OFTEN THE CASE FOR THE PERSON DEMON-POSSESSED. 08:36 SOMETIMES YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE TALKING TO ONE PERSON 08:38 OR TEN OR IF YOU'RE DEALING WITH A DEMONIAC THERE IN THE BEACH 08:43 OF GADARA. 08:44 HE HAD LEGIONS OF DEMONS MEANING THAT MORE THAN ONE DEMON CAN 08:49 POSSESS A PERSON. 08:51 THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE POSSESSED AND THEY'RE ABLE TO 08:54 CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN A CIVILIZED WAY, BUT THE DEVIL'S 08:58 GOT HIS CLAWS IN THEM AND THEY NEED DELIVERANCE. 09:04 THERE'S SOME AREA IN THEIR LIFE THEY'RE OWNED BY THE ENEMY. 09:09 THIS IS GETTING PRETTY REAL, ISN'T IT? 09:11 THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES. 09:14 SO HERE'S THIS MAN, I WANT TO READ THE WHOLE STORY TO YOU. 09:18 "LET US ALONE. 09:21 WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO WITH YOU, JESUS?" 09:22 DID THEY KNOW WHO JESUS WAS? 09:25 WHY? 09:26 THEY'RE ETERNAL, THEY LIVED BEFORE LUCIFER FELL. 09:28 THESE WERE ONCE HOLY ANGELS THAT USED TO WORSHIP JESUS, 09:30 THEY KNOW WHO HE IS. 09:34 IT'S AMAZING THAT THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T THINK CHRIST 09:36 WAS GOD BECOME A MAN, EVEN THE DEVILS ADMITTED IT. 09:42 "BUT JESUS REBUKED HIM SAYING, 'BE QUIET AND COME OUT OF HIM.' 09:49 AND WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT HAD CONVULSED HIM AND CRIED OUT WITH 09:54 A LOUD VOICE--" HE CAME OUT. 09:56 WHY DID HE CONVULSE HIM FIRST? 09:59 PLEASE DON'T ANYONE HAVE A CONVULSION NOW, 10:02 BUT THAT OFTEN HAPPENS. 10:04 YOU KNOW WHAT IT ILLUSTRATES? 10:08 THE DEVIL DOESN'T LET GO EASILY. 10:11 "AND WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT HAD CONVULSED AND CRIED OUT, 10:15 HE CAME OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE. 10:17 HE CRIED OUT A WITH A LOUD VOICE. 10:20 HE CAME OUT OF HIM. 10:21 THEY WERE ALL AMAZED AND THEY QUESTIONED AMONG THEMSELVES 10:24 SAYING, 'WHAT IS THIS? 10:25 WHAT NEW DOCTRINE IS THIS? 10:27 FOR WITH AUTHORITY--'" NOTICE HOW HE STARTED OUT? 10:30 IT SAYS THEY'RE AMAZED AT HIS AUTHORITY AND AT THE END OF 10:34 THE EXPERIENCE OF THIS EXORCISM, IT SAYS, "FOR WITH AUTHORITY 10:38 HE COMMANDS EVEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS AND THEY OBEY HIM AND 10:42 IMMEDIATELY HIS FAME SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE REGION 10:44 OF GALILEE." 10:45 WHEN YOU BEGIN TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE 10:52 THAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE, THE DEVIL DOES NOT WANT PEOPLE 10:55 TO TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY. 10:58 HOW MANY OF YOU WANT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BELIEVE 10:59 HE'S A REAL PERSON THAT WILL MOVE INTO YOUR HEARTS? 11:02 IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, THERE'S ONLY 11:03 ONE OTHER ALTERNATIVE; YOU ARE DEMON-HARASSED 11:06 OR DEMON-POSSESSED. 11:08 THERE'S NO NEUTRAL GROUND. 11:11 "WELL, I'M NOT READY FOR GOD'S SPIRIT. 11:13 I'M NOT GONNA LET THE DEVIL BOTHER ME. 11:14 I'M IN CHARGE OF MY OWN LIFE." 11:16 YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF, YOU BELONG TO THE DEVIL. 11:20 THERE'S ONLY TWO POWERS IN THIS LIFE IF YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE. 11:26 JESUS SAID, "IF YOU'RE NOT WITH ME, YOU'RE AGAINST ME" 11:29 RIGHT ALONG WITH THE DEVIL WHO'S AGAINST HIM. 11:32 AND SO I ADVISE YOU TO JOIN THE WINNING TEAM, FRIENDS, 11:35 THERE'S ONLY ONE. 11:37 "THEY CAN CAUSE PHYSICAL REACTIONS." 11:40 WE JUST READ A MINUTE AGO WHEN HE SAID, "COME OUT OF THAT 11:43 YOUNG MAN," THE BOY CONVULSED OR THE YOUNG MAN CONVULSED. 11:50 SO SOMETIMES IT CAUSES PHYSICAL REACTIONS. 11:52 MARK 9:26 THIS BOY WHO WAS HAVING THESE SEIZURES, JESUS 11:57 SAID TO THE FATHER, "HOW LONG HAS THIS HAPPENED?" 12:01 AND LATER THE DISCIPLES SAID, "WHY COULDN'T WE CAST OUT 12:04 THAT DEVIL?" 12:05 AND JESUS SAID, "THESE KIND OF DEVILS DON'T COME OUT EXCEPT 12:07 BY PRAYER AND FASTING." 12:09 CHRIST SAID IT WAS A DEMONIC PROBLEM. 12:12 MARK 9:26, "THEN THE SPIRIT CRIED OUT AND CONVULSED HIM 12:15 GREATLY AND CAME OUT OF HIM AND HE BECAME AS ONE DEAD. 12:19 SO MANY SAID HE'S DEAD BUT JESUS TOOK HIM BY THE HAND AND LIFTED 12:22 HIM UP AND HE AROSE. 12:23 THERE WAS NO MORE PROBLEM ANYMORE." 12:26 SO WHAT IS THE WORK OF DEVILS? 12:30 OH, THEY'VE GOT A PRETTY BROAD JOB DESCRIPTION. 12:34 ONE THING I WANT YOU TO KNOW IS THAT DECEPTION IS ONE OF 12:39 THE TOP TOOLS IN THEIR BOX. 12:41 THEY DECEIVE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 12:43 THEY LIKE TO BLAME IT ON ANYBODY OR ANYTHING ELSE. 12:47 REVELATION 16:14, "FOR THEY ARE THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS." 12:54 WHAT IS THE WORK OF DEMONS? 12:55 "THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS WORKING MIRACLES." 12:58 CAN DEVIL'S WORK MIRACLES, CAN THEY? 13:02 CAN THEY MAKE IT APPEAR THAT IT'S A MIRACLE OF GOD AND IT'S 13:05 REALLY A MIRACLE FROM THE DEVIL? 13:07 WHEN MOSES WENT BEFORE THE PHARAOH AND HE THREW HIS SERPENT 13:10 DOWN--NO, HE THREW HIS ROD DOWN AND BECAME A SERPENT 13:14 AND THE PHARAOHS MAGICIANS CAME IN AND THEY COUNTERFEITED 13:19 THE MIRACLES OF GOD. 13:21 THE DEVIL CAN DO THAT. 13:23 THE DEVIL CAN MAKE A PERSON SICK AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY APPEAR TO 13:26 REMOVE THAT SICKNESS SO IF SOMEONE SAYS, "OH, THAT FAITH 13:30 HEALER MUST BE OF GOD BECAUSE LOOK, THEY GOT BETTER." 13:33 WELL, THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN SICK IF IT WASN'T FOR THE DEVIL. 13:36 HE JUST TEMPORARILY WITHDREW THE AFFLICTION TO GIVE THE ILLUSION 13:39 THAT THIS PERSON HAS THE POWER OF HEALING. 13:41 SO YOU CAN'T EVEN USE MIRACLES OR HEALINGS AS A SIGN FOR WHO'S 13:45 REALLY FROM GOD. 13:46 THE DEVIL CAN COUNTERFEIT THESE THINGS AND SOME PEOPLE MIGHT GO 13:50 AND--TO A DIABOLICAL FAITH HEALER, 13:54 THEY'LL EXPERIENCE SOME RELIEF AND IT COULD BE GENUINE RELIEF 13:59 BECAUSE JESUS SAID, "YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WHOLE." 14:02 THE PERSON MIGHT GO WITH A GENUINE SINCERE FAITH, 14:04 AND THEY'RE HEALED BY THEIR OWN FAITH. 14:06 IT'S CALLED THE PLACEBO EFFECT, AND SO THE DEVIL WILL USE THAT 14:11 TO HIS ADVANTAGE. 14:12 WHAT IS THE FINAL FATE OF THESE FALLEN ANGELS? 14:16 JUDE FIRST VERSE OR FIRST CHAPTER, THERE'S ONLY ONE, 14:20 VERSE 6, "AND THE ANGELS THAT KEPT NOT 14:23 THEIR PROPER DOMAIN," THE FALLEN ANGELS, "THEY LEFT THEIR 14:27 OWN ABODE. 14:28 HE IS RESERVED IN EVERLASTING CHAINS UNDER DARKNESS FOR 14:32 THE JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT DAY." 14:34 2 PETER 2:4 SAYS ALMOST THE SAME THING, "FOR IF GOD DID NOT SPARE 14:38 THE ANGELS WHO SINNED BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL AND DELIVERED 14:42 THEM INTO CHAINS OF DARKNESS TO BE RESERVED FOR JUDGMENT." 14:45 THE BIBLE SAYS THESE ANGELS ARE HELD IN THIS DARK WORLD 14:49 WAITING THEIR JUDGMENT. 14:51 AND THAT'S WHY WHEN JESUS CAME, MANY TIMES THE ANGEL WOULD SAY, 14:53 "HAVE YOU COME TO TORMENT US BEFORE THE TIME?" 14:55 THEY SAID TO JESUS. 14:56 THEY KNOW THAT THEIR PUNISHMENT IS COMING. 15:00 MATTER OF FACT, THEY'RE REALLY HYPERACTIVE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE 15:03 YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 12, "WOE TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE 15:06 EARTH FOR SATAN HAS COME DOWN UNTO YOU HAVING GREAT WRATH 15:09 FOR HE KNOWS HIS NAME TIME IS SHORT." 15:12 JESUS TELLS US IN MATTHEW 25:41, "THEN HE WILL SAY TO THOSE ON 15:16 THE LEFT HAND, DEPART FROM ME, YE CURSED--" THERE'S ONLY TWO 15:19 PEOPLE, THE SAVED AND THE LOST, THE BLESSED AND THE CURSED. 15:21 "DEPART FROM ME, YE CURSED INTO EVERLASTING FIRE PREPARED FOR 15:26 THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS." 15:29 SO THEY SHARE IN THE FATE OF THEIR LEADER. 15:34 "THE DEVIL WHO--" AND THIS IS REVELATION 20:10, "THE DEVIL WHO 15:38 DECEIVED THEM WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE WHERE 15:41 THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE AND THEY'RE TORMENTED THERE 15:44 DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER." 15:46 NOW THAT WORD DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER INDICATES THAT 15:49 THEY ARE GOING TO BE BURNED UP ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY DESERVE 15:51 AND THEY NEVER EVER WILL EXIST AGAIN. 15:54 THEY'RE GONE FOREVER AND EVER. 15:57 NOW I'M GONNA VENTURE IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES TO TALK ABOUT 16:01 CASTING OUT DEVILS. 16:04 SO WHAT DO YA DO TO CAST OUT DEVILS? 16:09 HOW DOES IT HAPPEN? 16:11 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? 16:12 MARK 1:34, EVICTING DEMONS, "HE HEALED MANY WHO WERE SICK 16:21 WITH VARIOUS DISEASES AND CAST OUT MANY DEMONS." 16:25 NOW I WANT TO PAUSE HERE FOR A MINUTE. 16:26 DO YOU SEE THE BIBLE MAKING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN PHYSICAL 16:29 SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL SICKNESS? 16:31 YEAH. 16:32 "HE HEALED THOSE WHO WERE SICK WITH VARIOUS DISEASES AND CAST 16:36 OUT MANY DEVILS. 16:39 AND HE DID NOT ALLOW THE DEVILS TO SPEAK BECAUSE THEY KNEW HIM." 16:42 I ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT THESE, FOLKS, THAT I'VE RUN INTO FOLKS 16:45 THAT HAVE THESE EXORCISM MINISTRIES AND THEY SAY, "YEAH, 16:51 I WAS TALKING TO THIS DEVIL RIGHT HERE AND I IDENTIFIED HIM. 16:54 HE WAS A DEVIL OF THE HAY FEVER. 16:56 I SAID, 'YOU SNEEZE OUT YOU DEVIL OF HAY FEVER.'" 16:58 AND THEY START--THEY TALK TO HIM. 17:00 YOU DON'T WANT TO ENGAGE THE DEVILS TO TALK. 17:04 I MEAN JESUS SAID, "BE QUIET." 17:06 HE ALWAYS TOLD THEM BE QUIET. 17:07 THE ONLY ONE TIME HE SAID TO THAT ONE, "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" 17:10 AND HE DID THAT FOR OUR BENEFIT WHO WE'D KNOW HOW MANY DEMONS 17:13 HAD POSSESSED THAT MAN. 17:14 BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO ENTER INTO DIALOGUE. 17:17 EVEN THE DEVIL, WHEN HE CAME TO GET THE BODY OF MOSES AND 17:21 MICHAEL CAME TO RESURRECT MOSES, THE DEVIL SAID, 17:24 "YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM. 17:25 HE'S MINE. 17:25 HE SINNED." 17:26 AND JESUS SAID, "NO, I'VE FORGIVEN HIM." 17:28 AND HE SAID, MATTER OF FACT, JESUS DIDN'T EVEN SAY THAT. 17:31 HE DIDN'T ENTER INTO A CONVERSATION WITH HIM. 17:34 HE SAID, "THE LORD REBUKE THEE" AND HE TOOK MOSES TO HEAVEN. 17:38 SO YOU DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A DIALOGUE WITH THE DEVIL. 17:41 BY THE WAY, WE'RE ALL IN TROUBLE TODAY 'CAUSE EVE GOT INTO 17:43 A DISCUSSION WITH THE DEVIL. 17:45 AND YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT A SILVER-TONGUE DEVIL? 17:49 HE'S THE ONE THAT STARTED WITH IT. 17:50 YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK YOU'RE GONNA OUT TALK HIM. 17:53 THE ONLY THING YOU WANT TO QUOTE TO THE DEVIL IS SCRIPTURE 17:56 AND THE NAME OF JESUS. 18:00 "JESUS SAID," MATTHEW 10:8, "WHEN HE WENT OUT THE APOSTLES, 18:04 'HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD, CAST 18:08 OUT DEMONS, FREELY YOU RECEIVE, FREELY GIVE.'" 18:13 MARK 1:27-28, "THEY WERE ALL AMAZED AND THEY SAID, 18:17 WHAT IS THIS NEW DOCTRINE? 18:19 FOR WITH AUTHORITY HE COMMANDS UNCLEAN SPIRITS 18:23 AND THEY OBEY HIM." 18:23 SO WHOSE AUTHORITY DO WE HAVE? 18:25 OURS? 18:26 WE DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY. 18:27 DOES HE HAVE AUTHORITY? 18:29 YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT JESUS HAS AUTHORITY OVER THE DEVIL? 18:32 THEN IF YOU ENTER INTO PRAYER WITH THAT IN MIND AND YOU 18:37 BELIEVE, YOU'RE GONNA SEE RESULTS. 18:39 LET ME SHARE THIS WITH YOU REAL QUICK, SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES 18:42 IN THE BIBLE FOR CASTING OUT DEVILS. 18:45 FIRST OF ALL, PREPARE YOUR OWN HEART. 18:48 IF YOU'RE GONNA BE PRAYING FOR SOMEBODY THAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE 18:50 IS MORE THAN JUST DEMON-HARASSED, AND WE SHOULD 18:52 ALWAYS PRAY FOR EACH OTHER 'CAUSE WE'RE ALL TEMPTED, MAKE 18:54 SURE THAT YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO PRAY. 18:59 ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS, ASK GOD TO HEAR YOUR PRAYERS, 19:03 NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS BUT FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST'S 19:05 RIGHTEOUSNESS. 19:06 THE BIBLE TELLS US, "BRETHREN, IF A MAN IS OVERTAKEN IN ANY 19:10 TRESPASS, YOU WHO ARE SPIRITUAL RESTORES SUCH A ONE IN A SPIRIT 19:14 OF GENTLENESS, HUMBLENESS CONSIDERING YOURSELF LEST 19:18 YOU ALSO BE TEMPTED." 19:22 YOU'D HATE TO GO TO SOMEONE TO CAST OUT THE DEVIL AND YOU CATCH 19:25 WHAT THEY'VE GOT, SO DO IT IN AN ATTITUDE OF HUMILITY. 19:31 BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW WHY I SAID THAT? 19:33 WHEN YOU ENTER INTO THIS ACTIVITY, YOU WANT TO PRAY 19:39 AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE SENT OF GOD. 19:42 ACTS 19:13, "SOME OF THE ITINERATE JEWISH EXORCISTS TOOK 19:47 IT UPON THEMSELVES TO CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS OVER 19:50 THOSE WHO HAD EVIL SPIRITS SAYING, 'WE WILL EXERCISE YOU 19:54 BY JESUS WHOM PAUL PREACHES.' ALSO THERE WERE SEVEN SONS OF 19:58 SCEVA, A JEWISH CHIEF PRIEST WHO DID SO. 20:02 AND THE EVIL SPIRITS ANSWERED AND SAID, 'JESUS, I KNOW AND 20:08 PAUL I KNOW, BUT WHO ARE YOU?' AND THE MAN IN WHOM THE EVIL 20:12 SPIRITS WAS LEAPED ON THEM AND OVERPOWERED THEM AND PREVAILED 20:16 AGAINST THEM SO THAT THEY FLED OUT OF THAT HOUSE NAKED 20:19 AND WOUNDED." 20:21 YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW JESUS. 20:24 WHAT DID THAT DEVIL SAY? 20:25 "I KNOW PAUL AND I KNOW JESUS, BUT I DON'T KNOW YOU." 20:28 SO IF YOU'RE GONNA ENTER INTO PRAYER THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS 20:30 DELIVERED, THEN YOU MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT THAT RELATIONSHIP 20:33 WITH HIM. 20:35 NUMBER TWO, PRAY AND FAST, POINT NUMBER TWO. 20:40 YOU REMEMBER THAT FATHER, BROUGHT HIS SON TO JESUS? 20:44 THE DISCIPLES TRIED TO CAST OUT THE DEVIL AND THEY COULDN'T. 20:48 DON'T BE DISCOURAGED IF YOU ARE UNSUCCESSFUL. 20:50 YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY, SOMETIMES THE APOSTLES WERE 20:53 UNSUCCESSFUL. 20:54 DON'T GIVE UP. 20:56 THEY SAID, "LORD, WHY COULDN'T WE DO IT?" 20:57 HE SAID, "THIS KIND ONLY COMES FORTH BY PRAYER AND FASTING." 21:03 YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME LOVED ONES OR CHILDREN THAT THEY'RE 21:06 ADDICTED TO DRUGS OR SOMETHING ELSE AND YOU WANT THEM TO BE 21:09 FREE, FAST AND PRAY FOR THEM. 21:13 CITE SCRIPTURE. 21:15 AND I'M NOT DOING THESE IN THE ORDER OF PRIORITY, 21:18 THAT MIGHT BE THE FIRST ONE. 21:19 USE THE WORD. 21:21 WHAT DID JESUS USE WHEN THE DEVIL TRIED TO TEMPT HIM 21:23 IN THE WILDERNESS? 21:24 IT WAS THE WORD OF GOD. 21:26 THE DEVIL'S WORDS IS WHAT OFTEN PUTS THE DEVIL IN PEOPLE. 21:30 IT'S CHRIST'S WORD THAT EXPELS THEM. 21:33 WHEN JESUS WAS BATTLING THE DEVIL OVER AND OVER HE SAID, 21:36 "IT IS WRITTEN, IT IS WRITTEN. 21:37 NOW VERY SIMPLY, I BELIEVE THAT DEVIL'S COULD BE CAST OUT TODAY 21:43 FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER SITTING HERE WHO ARE LISTENING 21:46 OR WATCHING THROUGH TV OR TAPE. 21:49 THEY MIGHT NOT FALL ON THE GROUND. 21:51 THEIR EYES MAY NOT ROLL BACK IN THEIR HEAD. 21:53 THEY VEINS MAY NOT STAND OUT IN THEIR NECK. 21:55 THE WORD OF GOD MIGHT DO IT QUIETLY. 21:58 THE WORD OF GOD CAN SET PEOPLE FREE WITHOUT SOME BIG 22:02 DEMONSTRATION. 22:04 AND SO I THINK MORE TIMES THAN NOT, WHEN JESUS WENT OUT 22:07 PREACHING AND SAID, "REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT 22:09 HAND," CASTING OUT DEVILS, IT WAS THE PREACHING THAT CAST 22:12 OUT THE DEVILS. 22:14 THE PREACHING OF THE WORD GIVES PEOPLE VICTORY. 22:17 SO MOST OF THE TIME, THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS. 22:21 MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE CLAIMING THE PROMISES OF GOD 22:24 AND CITING SCRIPTURE. 22:26 PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFFLICTED. 22:29 I KNOW THAT STANDS AS A BASIC BUT NOT ONLY FAST AND PRAY, BUT 22:35 YOU WANT TO BE PRAYING ON AN ONGOING BASIS FOR THEM. 22:38 MARK 9:23 JESUS SAID, "IF YOU BELIEVE, YOU WANT TO BELIEVE 22:43 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM WHO BELIEVE." 22:46 SO WHEN YOU'RE FASTING AND PRAYING, BELIEVE THAT GOD 22:49 IS GONNA SET THEM FREE. 22:50 INVOKE AS YOUR AUTHORITY THE NAME OF JESUS. 22:54 NOW I'VE HEARD PASTORS ABUSE THAT AND THEY ALMOST REPEAT THE 22:58 NAME OF JESUS IN AN IRREVERENT WAY. 23:00 WE SHOULD TAKE THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD WITH REVERENCE 23:03 UPON OUR LIPS. 23:06 THERE'S EXAMPLES FOR THIS IN THE BIBLE. 23:08 PAUL GREATLY ANNOYED WHEN THAT DEMON-POSSESSED GIRL WAS 23:10 FOLLOWING HIM TURNED AND SAID TO THE SPIRIT, "I COMMAND YOU IN 23:15 THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST," YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT TO SAY, SAY 23:19 WHAT PAUL SAID, "TO COME OUT OF HER," AND IT CAME OUT OF 23:23 HER THAT VERY HOUR. 23:25 SO CLAIM THE NAME OF JESUS AND THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS. 23:28 "CHRIST SAID THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE. 23:31 IN MY NAME, THEY WILL CAST OUT DEMONS." 23:35 AGAIN, MARK 16:17. 23:37 YOU PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE IN SOME AREA FROM THE DEVIL WHO'S 23:40 HARASSING YOU AND YOU FALL, DON'T GIVE UP, GET UP AGAIN. 23:45 YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS, "A RIGHTEOUS MAN FALLS SEVEN 23:48 TIMES AND RISES AGAIN." 23:51 YOU MAY HAVE TO PRAY MANY TIMES. 23:53 MANY TIMES JESUS HAD TO PRAY OVER HIS OWN APOSTLES AND THEY 23:58 FELL, BUT GOD WANTS TO SET US FREE. 24:02 THE GOOD NEWS IS GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE 24:05 THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 24:07 THE WAY WE'RE GONNA WIN IS EPHESIANS 6:11, "PUT ON THE 24:11 WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD," IN THE WORD OF GOD, IN THE SPIRIT, THROUGH 24:16 PRAYER, THAT'S THESE THINGS I'M TALKING ABOUT. 24:18 THIS IS ALL THE ARMOR OF GOD. 24:19 THROUGH THAT WE CAN BE SHIELDED AGAINST THE ATTACKS OF THE DEVIL 24:23 AND ULTIMATELY THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS THE SWORD OF THE 24:26 SPIRIT, THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD, 24:28 THAT'S GONNA GIVE US THE POWER TO OVERCOME THE ENEMY. 24:32 SO FRIENDS, I JUST WANTED TO COVER THIS WITH YOU. 24:35 THIS IS A BIBLICAL TRUTH AND YOU KNOW IF THEY NEEDED THIS BACK 24:38 WHEN JESUS CAME THE FIRST TIME, I THINK THE CHURCH NEEDS IT AS 24:40 CHRIST IS PREPARING TO COME THE SECOND TIME. 24:43 THE DEVIL HAS COME DOWN WITH GREAT WRATH. 24:45 WE NEED TO KNOW WE HAVE A VERY REAL ENEMY OUT THERE AND THAT 24:48 GOD HAS GIVEN US THE TOOLS TO FIND VICTORY. 24:51 HE WANTS YOU TO BE FREE. 24:53 YOU CAN BE FREE. 24:55 YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST. 24:59 GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU. 25:00 CHRIST'S AUTHORITY, CHRIST'S NAME, HE CAN SET YOU FREE 25:04 FROM WHATEVER THOSE DEMONIC HARASSMENTS ARE. 25:07 AND IN SOME CASES IT MIGHT BE THAT THEY'VE MOVED 25:10 INTO SOME AREA OF YOUR LIFE AND HE WANTS TO SET YOU FREE. 25:14 >> STAY TUNED, PASTOR DOUG WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THIS 25:16 WEEK'S SPECIAL FREE OFFER. 25:22 >> ARMAGEDDON IS THE FINAL MOBILIZATION OF THE POWERS 25:26
