A snake Spirit obeyed!
I was ministering the word in a church where I was a guest minister. Getting to the portion of the scriptures which says "these signs shall follow them that believe, in my name they shall cast out devils..."Mark 16:16-18. I read this and emphasized that demons must obey the name of Jesus.
Some christians argue that it is not every christian who can cast out devils and so many believers are afraid to address evil spirits. I remembered telling the congregation, "if you are here and you know that you are being oppressed or attacked by a demon, lift your hand up and we will cast that demon out right now"
Deliverance ongoing |
A woman lifted her hands so I left the pulpit area and went to where she was. I said, "you unclean spirit, come out of her right now, you are a stranger, she belongs to Jesus, come out in Jesus name" and bang!, the woman fell and began to roll on the ground. The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart saying, 'it is a snake spirit". Then I went ahead and said, 'You snake spirit, come out of her now in Jesus name"
Evil spirit threw her on the ground |
As soon as this command was made, the evil spirit became more violent, threw her on the ground the more and behave just like the serpentine spirit that it it. See video on you tube.
After sometime, the woman calm down.
Two weeks later, I was invited as a guest minister back to the same church, and this woman came to share her testimony with me after the service. She saw a dream a day after how a man, very fair in complexion came with a boat, and another man helped him to pack stuffs that were dirty out of a house where she was. Having packed all the dirty stuffs out, they left with the boat full of it. Also she testified to seeing a night vision where a man came and removed some kind of implantation from her head and since that day, the terrible migraine she has been suffering from stopped. What a testimony!
Was she delivered? Yes. How? Through the NAME OF JESUS! Do not allow the devil intimidate you. Are you a believer? If yes, you already have authourity over the devil. Command evil spirits to leave and they will obey as you do so in the name of Jesus.
Testifying after two weeks |
The name of Jesus has been exalted above all other names. All evil spirits must bow to that name irrespective of their ranking in thw kingdom of darkness, who cares about that anyway!
Some people, including preachers emphasize the occurrence in Acts 19:14-16 where a demon possessed man beat up seven sons of Sceva who tried to deliver him using the name of Jesus. Thus, they create more fear in the hearts of believers which has resulted into believers being afraid of addressing evil spirits, even the preachers themselves afraid of addressing those who are possessed with evil spirits including witchcraft, wizardry, sorcery etc.I have seen this a lot in Nigeria.
The sons of Sceva addressed the evil spirit saying,"in the name of Jesus which Paul preacheth..." So which Jesus do they themselves preach? Does it mean then that they did not have that Jesus in them otherwise they should have said " in the name of Jesus which we preach or which we believe!"
Dearly beloved reader, you are different! You are a believer! You are not a son/daughter of Sceva rather you are a child of God! Be bold! Stop being afraid! Evil spirits don't have power over you rather you have power over them! use the name of Jesus! Let your confidence and boast be in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Henceforth command evil spirit to leave and they will. Mark 16:16-18. You have authourity over them, Luke 10:19.
Shalom. The kingdom of God is nigh you.
