4 Requirements for tackling demonic spirits
Requirements for tackling demons and diseases..
What are demons?
Demons are spirit beings who work antagonistic to God’s purpose and plans. They are destructive of God’s works and they fight God’s people. They are fallen angels and agents of the devil (2 Corinthians 12:7, Ephesians 1:9-10, Ephesians 7:12, Matthew 12:25-29, Matthew 25:41).
As spirit beings demons cannot legally operate on earth because they lack bodies. So they often take possession of human and animal bodies.
How did Jesus handle demons?
Throughout Jesus’ ministry, He handled demons by casting them out of the bodies they’re inhabiting (Matthew 8:28-32, Mark 1:23-28, Mark 1:25,
Casting out demons simply entails commanding them to get out of and leave the body of their hosts.
How did the disciples handle demons?
They commanded the demons to leave their hosts using the authority in the name of Jesus. In instances where they struggled to cast out the demons, Jesus told them they needed stronger faith, and even prayer and fasting in order to succeed (Mark 9:29, Matthew 17:14-21). However, we never see Jesus or the apostles going to pray and fast before casting out demons.
So we go by what Jesus commanded us to do in Mark 16:17….as long as we believe in Jesus, we cast out demons in the name of Jesus. Amen!
Is casting out demons a special spiritual gifting?
No it is not!
Every believer or Christian can cast out demons (Mark 16:16-17, Matthew 10:1), as long as they have the following…
4 Requirements for casting out demons
- You need to be born again (Have a Superior Spiritual Identity)
- You need to be full of the Holy Ghost (Power)
- You need to have the name of Jesus (Authority)
- You need to believe God’s Word (Faith)
“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.”
Luke 9:1-2 NKJV
“He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Mark 16:16-18 NKJV
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:9-11 NKJV
“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV
“Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Matthew 17:17-21 NKJV
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
I John 5:4 NKJV

The god of this world: By How Much?

The Keys of The Kingdom
A kingdom is a territory, domain or realm ruled by a king or queen who is the highest authority and who may choose to delegate same as he/she wishes. The day you made Jesus Lord and Saviour of your life, you were translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God and of His dear son Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13). You are a member of the Kingdom of God. You are royalty (1 Peter 2:9).Kings reign and rule kingdoms through words. Their decrees become established and they govern their domains through words. Kings issue commands and processes are immediately set in motion for actualization of such commands. Jesus spoke extensively about the Kingdom of God, making reference to it many times in His teachings and parables. In Matthew 16:19, Jesus reveals the Keys of the Kingdom of God to His disciples…
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19
Words have power. Words are seeds. Decrees and Judgements are passed through words.
Little wonder Jesus marvelled at the Centurion’s words in Luke 7:7-9. This man understood Ecclesiastes 8:4-5 all too well….there is power in the Words of a king (Ecclesiastes 8:4-5).
The keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God is in our words/decrees, and the keys to condemning/refuting every consequence of the curse is in our words/judgement.
Wisdom and discernment help proper use and application of decrees or judgment (Ecclesiastes 8:5). Thi is how an empty and voidless space became home to plants, animals, man (Genesis chapter 1). And how a seed of words becomes a big company/organisation offering employment and source of livelihood to many (Luke 13:18-19).
The keys of the Kingdom of God …..decrees…..judgements…. communicated through words. Loose/unlock your blessings, judge/bind every curse or a semblance of the curse.
You are royalty; your words have power. Your words are the keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God. And words are the keys to condemning/refuting everything with semblance to the curse.
Shalom!
