How to practically cast out demons. Four truths
every person must know if you want to be effective in the ministry of deliverance of demons in
other people, ministering to other people. So four things I want to share very basic
and many of you will agree because this is scriptural and this is Biblical.
Number one is that casting out of demons happens by the authority that believer has.
So the first and foremost you must understand is that as a Christian you have authority.
Now if you're not a Christian you don't have authority. So if you walk under the authority
of Jesus's name, His Lordship; you are walking in the authority of Jesus. So it's
very simple. If you walk under Jesus as your Lord and as your Savior, you are walking
in the authority that Jesus has. So disciples who walked under Jesus' authority were commissioned
with His authority to drive out demons. That's what Jesus says in Mark 16:17 He says," And
these signs will follow those who believe." And the first thing He says," In My name they will
cast out demons." And so if you believe in Jesus. If you are under Jesus then guess what happens.
In His name, because you're under authority, you have authority; you will cast out demons. My
friend casting out of demons is simple. You have the authority and your authority is connected
to walking under authority of Jesus Christ. Your authority is connected to your assignment
and your calling. You were called to cast out demons. You may say," Nah I'm not a ministry
Vlad. I don't have a small group. I'm not a leader. I'm not an elder. I'm not a bishop." The
Bible says," those who believe." Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. That
means this calling is for you. "No deliverance ministry is very dangerous." Not any more than
believing in Jesus Christ. Jesus says," It's for everyone." That's why casting out of demons is
not a gift of the Holy Spirit. It's not a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It's not for special people.
It's for every person who follows Jesus Christ. Who are under authority of Jesus because they can
walk in the authority of Jesus which is directly connected to their assignment and calling to
preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. Truth number two you must know if you
want to be effective at casting out demons. Demons come out through the anointing or the power
of the Holy Spirit. So the first thing we mention is the authority which comes from being under
authority. The second thing is the power or the anointing of the Holy Spirit which comes from, you
guessed it, the Holy Spirit. Jesus says in Matthew 12:28 He says," If I cast out demons by the Spirit
of God... Not by formula. Not by some ritual. Not by 10-step program. Nothing wrong with that...
but by the spirit of God. Surely the kingdom of God has come upon you." So Jesus says His secret
of deliverance. His secret of deliverance ministry is the Holy Spirit. In fact after coming from the
wilderness being tempted by the devil, Jesus read that famous verse, the messianic part of Isaiah's
prophecy: The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me. He has anointed Me to preach the good news, to
heal the brokenhearted, to set the captives at liberty." So the Spirit of God is upon me.
To do what? To do deliverance, to break chains, set the captives free, bring the truth of Jesus
Christ to this generation. You don't have to be super knowledgeable or experienced. You have to
walk in the Holy Spirit. The difference between authority and power is like a police officer who
has a badge and a gun. A badge is his authority; a gun is his power. There are people who have
guns but don't have badges and they go shooting and they become criminals. But there are people
who have badges who don't even have a gun and criminals will still obey them because of the
power of the badge. Sons of Sceva were like people with a gun without the badge. They never
were under authority of Jesus' name, therefore it backfired. The spiritual world backfired at
them, demons backfired. So to walk legitimately, walk in authority and also walk in the anointing
in the power of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 1:8 Jesus says," So this power is to drive out demons.
You can drive out demons by the authority that you have because you walk under the Lordship of
Jesus Christ and you can also drive out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit, the anointing
of the Holy Spirit. How do you receive this power? By walking in the Holy Spirit. By living
under the influence of the Holy Spirit. By being filled with the Holy Spirit. By being baptized
into the Holy Spirit. By cultivating intimacy, awareness and constantly depending on the Holy
Spirit. If you get overwhelmed in the ministry of deliverance, there's so many different names,
demons and then all of the stuff. Listen. Relax. Rely on the most important person in
deliverance and that is the Holy Spirit. Ask Him at that moment, as you're delivering,
commanding that demon to go. Deep inside have a conversation with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit
guide me. Holy Spirit I depend on you. Holy Spirit I rely on you. And you will see deliverances in a
crazy, crazy way. Number three. Demons are removed by the name of Jesus. We're not giving a
formula. We're not given a five-step program, this is how you do it. Now we all have different
methods and they change as we grow, as we learn, have different experiences. We can glean
from each other, reading different books, studying every deliverance Jesus did and glean
different tips and tricks and secrets. But there's really only one main formula, if I could say, that
is given to us. That's the name of Jesus. Demons are expelled, driven out by the name of Jesus.
We see this in the verse I read Mark 16:18 "In my name they shall cast out demons." Jesus even
said about people who He never knew. People who practiced lawlessness in Matthew chapter 7. He
said in my name that they cast out demons. So these people though they didn't walk with the
Lord, they didn't have a legitimate authority because they didn't walk under authority. Yet
the name of Jesus was like this gun it was like a thing that worked. I've seen it so many times with
the power of the name of Jesus. Demons tremble. Giant, big, boastful demons who claim that they've
been there for 30-40 generations, who have legal right because of bloodline and you know blood
covenant and blood sacrifices and children were dedicated to satan and the whole nine yards. And
the sheer power of the name of Jesus Christ is so powerful. Now the name of Jesus is not some magic.
The name of Jesus is not some kind of a secret phrase that we say. The name of Jesus is Jesus.
When, you know, I use this example, it's not the best example to illustrate this but you'll get the
point. In our church sometimes if people want to get some things done they come in to a particular
department or a team and say, hey Vlad said, and this gets them stuff done. Sometimes even I heard
people misuse my name and they got their way simply because they said to another person in the
church, Vlad said. Unfortunately there are people even online who would impersonate me and use my
name to rip people off financially because of some kind of orphanage or something on youtube.
And people would give them money because they would impersonate me. And so when you were given
legitimate authority by Jesus not to impersonate, but to represent Jesus. When you're coming to that
demon and you're saying," In Jesus name." It's almost like you're telling that demon "Jesus wants
you out". Sometimes during deliverance that's what I tell that demon, Jesus wants you out. And
the demon were like, no you can't cast me out, you you're nobody, you're a little boy. I know I
am nobody but it's not in my name I cast demons out. It's in Jesus name. When David defeated
Goliath, he says," In the name of my God." David didn't defeat Goliath with a slingshot
and a stone. Those were just the means. It was the name of his God. And guess what Goliath did.
He tried to curse David with his gods. Because in that world the way you defeat somebody
physically is you defeat them spiritually. And they use the names of their gods as a way
to gain authority over that person. We are given the name of our God. His name is Jesus and in that
name that is exalted above every name, that nobody can get saved but through the name of Jesus. In
that name is not only our salvation but it's the legitimacy of our authority and demons know that.
So never be intimidated by their manifestation, by how violent they claim, persistent they seem
to be. The name of Jesus is a strong tower and the righteous man not only runs and is saved but
a righteous man uses that name as a mighty weapon against the forces of darkness. Demons are removed
by being cast out. It's important to understand that you can't get demons out of people through
therapy. You can't get demons out through massage. You can't get demons out through hugging and
even confessing of sin. You can't get demons out by prayer. We were not told to during deliverance
to ask God to get the demons out. We were told to cast them out. We were told to do that. Jesus
gave us only one way, is they have to get out and they have to be, by us, commanded out. I
mean verses like Matthew 8:16, Matthew 9:33, Matthew 10:1, Matthew 10:8, Matthew 12:28, Mark
134, Mark 139, Mark 3:15 Mark 6:13, Mark 16:9, Mark 16:17 and Luke 13:32 All say this, Jesus
cast demons out. So with the flesh we crucify the flesh. With our sins we repent of them. With the
world we run from it. Do not love the world the Bible says. With demons there is only one cure,
cast them out. You have to verbally commend them out. You have to call them sometimes by name, you
spirit of this. Same way as you know, you get you get dogs attention and then you just command
them out. You drive them out. Jesus did that. Sometimes He would raise His voice, He would speak
firmly. It's not about the volume it's about the authority but when you speak firmly you're casting
them out. You're speaking with that authority, in the name of Jesus by the power of the Holy
Spirit and demons must obey. I want to encourage you to take this great commission seriously. We
can fight and debate and argue can a Christian have a demon and all this stuff. Total nonsense.
The real question is, do Christians cast out demons? Because we were told to do that and if
you do that, good for you. You're being obedient to the great commission. If you don't do that,
please don't waste time debating and arguing because you're not obeying what Jesus called you
to do, cast demons out. Unfortunately a lot of people instead of casting demons out of people,
they cast out demon possessed, demonized, demon oppressed. Whatever the name you want to call
people, out of the church. We try to lock them in the prison. Sometimes we try to medicate them
when the solution is to drive the demons out. I'm not saying there's a demon behind every bush. I'm
not saying there's a demon behind every problem but spiritual world is a lot more real and a lot
more influential over our world. The Bible says this world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
Christians rise up, be a giant killer, be a demon slayer. It's time to do what Jesus did and what
He called us to do. Thank you for watching this video. As always drop it in the comment below what
