The Supernaturals 5


Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of this series. Yesterday, I talked about Healing. I must stress that this series is not an exhaustive teaching on any of the topics to be discussed. Therefore, study further.
Today, I will be talking about
CASTING OUT DEVILS
The Devil was responsible for the fall of man and that was why when Jesus rose from the dead and have gotten ALL  AUTHORITY, the first person He asked us to deal with is the Devil. Mk. 16:17
Let me say this as quickly as possible that ALL BELIEVERS CAN CAST OUT DEVILS. You don't need to have been baptised in the Holy Ghost talking in tongues before you can be able to pray for the sick and cast out Devils. No.
FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS IS THE KEY.
Mark  16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
From the original rendering, the position of the SEMI COLON is after  'in my name'. It should be read this way:
Mark  16:17 AND THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE IN MY NAME; they shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues;
16:18 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.
Casting out Devils is not a common practice in the Old Testament because of the Adamic authority that the Devil wielded then. But, casting out of Devils should be a common thing in this dispensation.
We cast out Devils now by the AUTHORITY THAT JESUS HAS GIVEN TO US.
Mat  10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Luke  10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Behold (it is a revelational word. It means you have to look to see), I give you power (Greek: EXOUSIA)...
EXOUSIA is delegated influence/authority, exclusive right and special privilege to undertake a task, legal right, obvious judicial control.
Another Greek word interpreted as power is DUNAMIS- dynamic ability to produce change.
Casting out Devils is our privileged right under Christ. In most cases, you don't need DUNAMIS to cast out Devils. What you need is EXOUSIA and once you have given your life to Christ, you have it already. Hallelujah!
Dunamis is a subset and subjected to EXOUSIA.
Dunamis is useless if EXOUSIA is not in place.
God is the Source of all EXOUSIA and he measures authority to beings and persons in all the realms of existence as He desires.
The Devil has lost the authority He had back then before the world began. Also, the EXOUSIA to rule this planet that Adam lost to him has been gotten back in Christ.
Col  1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
He has delivered us from the EXOUSIA of darkness. The Devil right now is a prince without any territory that's why he goes to and fro seeking whom he may devour. Brothers and Sisters, the Devil cannot devour everybody.
The Devil uses STOLEN EXOUSIA. People give him the right to operate either through their will or ignorance.
The Devil still has his Dunamis but, it doesn't change anything. We can illegitimize his Dunamis.

The potency of EXOUSIA is the DUNAMIS backing it. The authority that we have in the name of Jesus is being backed up BY THE THRONE OF GOD and ALL OF GOD'S DUNAMIS.

To disobey our God given authority now is to incur the wrath of GOD.
It should never be told that a believer couldn't cast out a demon or the demon didn't go.
YOU RESIST THE DEVIL STEADFASTLY IN FAITH AND HE WILL FLEE(to run in terror)FROM YOU.

HINDRANCE TO THE FLOW OF OUR AUTHORITY
A. EXOUSIA unlike Dunamis functions in ALIGNMENT TO GOD. Dunamis can function independently of alignment but not EXOUSIA. If you are out of Fellowship with God, His authority CAN NEVER FLOW TO YOU.
B. Sin: it is clear from point A. Sin intercept Fellowship with God. So, whenever your heart tells you that you are out of phase, repent and get back on track quickly.
C. Fear, Unbelief and Doubt: they will incapacitate your faith and render your words powerless.
D. Not paying attention to the AUTHORITY STRUCTURE put in place by God.
I have said it before God distribute EXOUSIA to beings and people in all His realm. In ROM. 13:1-7, Paul shared some insights into this. Honour and Obey both Natural and Spiritual Authority you find around you. You see, ANGELS AND DEMONS ARE BEINGS THAT UNDERSTAND AUTHORITY, RANKS AND ORDER. If you disobey an authority figure over you, don't you think people/subordinate under you will obey you. This is what Paul meant in 1 Cor. 11:10. He says to females 'if you dishonour your husband, don't you think angels will obey  own instruction.
Fighting authorities is fighting the the person that put them there.
Lastly, as long as the Rapture has not occurred, the Devil has a right to be in this planet. Don't you think you can cast out Demons and send them to Sahara Desert or Hell Fire or Bottomless Pit. You can cast out demons out from people/place and send them to another geographical location but not to Hell. Let me stop here. TOMMORROW, I will teach  RAISING THE DEAD.
PLEASE, READ AND SHARE.

Prayer of Enquiry

PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
