    You’d be surprised that even Charismatic churches are reluctant to come to a person’s house to cast a demon out. My church leader refused to come and said it was just “stress” that is causing the manifestation in one of my family member.
    I had to cast it out on my own. I was a new believer, but my gosh, I saw for myself that the Name of Jesus WORKS! I was quite irritated that the leader didn’t come, but in some ways I was also glad that I got to see the results for myself. My faith grew.
    It was not the last of my experiences with the supernatural. I learned more and grew.

      "5/29/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
      The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
      For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
      This question was asked of The Lord: Lord, what do You say regarding those who take it upon themselves to be “spiritual warriors,” rebuking demons in the name of Jesus?
      Thus says The Lord: YahuShua is My name. Therefore hear My words, O ignorant and vain generation, for you know nothing yet as you ought to know. For one who endeavors to gain advantage over that which they know nothing about shall surely be ensnared by it. Yet there are those who are chosen by The Father, in whom My spirit dwells, who may rebuke demons in My name, but only those to whom it is given. And this is not of their own authority, but MY authority.
      For as it is written: No one can have anything unless God gives it,[1] and apart from Me one can do nothing.[2] For I have already told you: Those who seek to understand the dark will soon find themselves trapped in the midst of it, unable to break free. Yet those who seek The Light will find it, and I will show them The Way; in these darkness has no foothold.[3] For people who practice such offenses walk in pride, knowing neither Me nor My will. And any who seek to do battle with evil spirits, apart from Me, will fail and be severely harmed.[4] For I am The Only Lord of Hosts. I am Lord over Heaven and Earth, over good and evil; ALL are subject to My will, even to My every word. For where I am, there is no darkness at all.
      What then is man? He is but flesh, his power of no use at all. And in his pride he seeks glory for himself, a false valor. And so he continually turns to his own devices, deceiving himself, thinking he stands though he has fallen. Foolhardy, he rushes into battle where he suffers injury after injury, ignoring his wounds, wounds which remain unhealed, infecting the whole of the body. Yet he continues on in his arrogance, his pride driving him forward, unable to see that he is cast down, saying within himself, “Look at my accomplishments, look upon all I have done!” And all the while satan laughs, saying, “Behold my acolytes; see how these men of battle have become like me.”
      Sons and daughters of men, you are no warriors...
      You are casualties, spoils of a war
      Which was won from the foundation
      Of the world, of which I was also slain...
      For I alone bear the scars of battle...
      Lo, I bear them in My hands and My feet,
      Upon My back and in My side, wounds which I
      Received in the house of My friends...
      Says The Lord."

We got to be realistic. The world is a much darker place than it used to be. The enemy is stronger in the world than he was. God hasn't changed we know that, but it's time we start calling it like we see it. I agree with your comment a little, but it was love that cast out demons. Authority is authority. Theres no doubt the Holy Spirit has authority, but perfect love drives out fear. Love covers a multitude of sins.

      Jesus freed me from 5 unclean spirits spontaneously about 7 months post born again. Had no idea I had these or what they even were until I deepened in Christ and matured in the Holy Spirit which lead me to repentance. I could feel and hear and at times see these cowards and when the main principality attacked me one night I cried out JESUS without even thinking and He was there in white brilliance and in His glory. Brighter than the sun, power beyond words, I was fixed on Jesus eyes and love was all I can say came from Him. These unclean spirits fled the instant he appeared to me and touched me on my shoulder.

    I believe this is the right way for demons to be cast out, through Christ's power himself. I have seen many testimonies where people who were saved were delivered from all but some such as myself had to be delivered from others. From videos an even in person, but it didn't last long because no matter how much I wanted to follow Christ I'd go back to my sin again an disobey, it wasn't until this week God showed me that i have to be so consumed with his grace an love that i dont even have the desire to do it anymore, not be so afraid that i avoid it but it tortures my mind, that is works through fear an it only leads to torment. Through grace alone, by faith alone, from Christ alone are we saved an that's it, the works come from your fruit not the other way around.

    Good comments on here! When Jesus walked, He gave authority to the disciples and they had little Faith to carry out a deliverance. JESUS SAID THAT Fasting and prayer was the way to get this case delivered! In being a DISCIPLE we are automatically drawn into BAPTISM of the holy Spirit with gifts of the spirit to perfect the saints! POWER OF THE GLORY to do what Jesus did and more is still relevant today we just don't hear about it. Soo,power of the Holy spirit brings the realm of Heaven, the light so that it pushes out the darkness. Also, when the Father chooses through his spirit to give such great authority to make deliverance, then enemies will obey and flee! Some will cast out the enemies in Christ's name but even today a lot of big cases DO NOT get Deliverance because the child of God or Christian leader does not have the spiritual maturity with Glory that is ONLY Given by Our Father through teaching and experience with Jim personally....NOT CHOSEN! Many are called but few are chosen. * Discerning of spirits is given by the holy spirit AND functions and performs by the Holy spirit! We are Only the Vessel!! God bless you all!😇👂👀👣💍👰

    Thank you. I am Hebrew, of the tribe of GD. We should NOT cast out demons if the person is not asking for this. If we do on our own, without the person being ready for the Messiah to be their Master, then the demon leaves, then returns bringing 7 more vile demons. It is written. Also, there is a curse to the G-o-d name as written in Isaiah 65:11-12. But in the English Scriptures (with influence from the Latin Vulgate), they kept the G-o-d name and they hid the actual curse with benign words. Now in the well-preserved Hebrew Scriptures, they kept the actual curse, as it was given to the prophet Isaiah/YSHGHYaH, warning us not to set a table for G-o-d or a drink offering for M-N-aH (false mighty ones of prosperity and destiny, respectively). Also, all mankind, not just the Jews/Yahudim, are to do the 7 appointed times , as written in Leviticus 23, but no more animal sacrifices, as we are of the order of MLK TSDQ (Righteous King), no longer of the Levitical order of priesthood, following the Final Sacrifice of the Messiah, on Pesach, when He was Crucified, then Resurrected. AMN (amen). I know these times are difficult for the church. Let me tell you what Hayah tells me. The Messiah was with the Samarians two days. (One day is as a thousand years to the Creator). The gentiles time is complete. They had two thousand years and now Yah is opening the spiritual eyes and ears of the Yahudim/Jews. You will see greater changes. Just keep talking to the Most High, the Creator. I do most of my talking, asking, and the like, in my head, not out loud, because demons can send trickery. But only Yah can hear our silent thoughts. Spiritual warfare is intense and the battlefield is mighty. I do not give away my strategy or questions out loud, because I have seen mighty trickery from the devil. Once I asked Yah to send a pink car to my neighborhood if it was Him sending me to this person's house (and not the devil). And you know a pink car was in the driveway the next time I looked down the street (maybe hours later). But my praising and worship is out loud to Yah, in my pleasure of worshipping and honoring Him. AMN (amen).

    One question I am starting to ask is why are our church leaders not casting out demons and why are they not healing people? I just recently asked the Holy Spirit what is the difference between the church in Paul’s time and the church today. He gave me this answer, because today’s church has a form of godliness, but deny its power.
    Jesus told his disciples they lacked the faith they need to drive out demons. In order to drive out we need to have faith as small as a mustard seed. So why is it that our leaders are not healing the sick in church? Why are we not seeing demons being driven out? The church today has probably a lot of explaining to do.

    Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
    And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊
    Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄
    I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD🙏

    No!!! I have personal experience with dealing with this issue. 2Peter 2: 10&11 These people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at supernatural beings without so much as trembling. But the angels, who are far greater in power and strength, do not dare to bring from the Lord a charge of blasphemy against those supernatural beings.
    1 Corinthians 12 Spiritual Gifts only mentions Healing and not Exercising or deliverance from evil spirits.
    Galatians 5:12 Those who are trying to force you to be circumcise want to look good to others. They don't want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Chist alone can save.

    Actually, tho yes we do need to love people. The demonic do not leave through love. If they are not cast out, they remain in a person, until an appropriate time to manifest again. Satan is good at waiting patiently, if he can get his way. He hates us all & he cannot due to his evil nature, respond to love.

    I am part of a front-lines effort that ministers to many people that society and even churches have ether discarded or simply don't have a clue on how to help. Since 2000 I have experienced how rare the gifts of discernment are in that I have constantly witnessed the christian community's misinterpret various symptoms related to drug abuse, sleep deprivation or insomnia, and most importantly schizophrenia. Other illnesses such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)and Turrets Syndrome are also commonly misunderstood.
    The sad thing is that most Christians couldn't explain the difference between possession or oppression let alone any other indication of the human state of being. I believe it to be a travesty to the ministry of the gospel as well as unloving to vilify a person by trying to exorcise a demon from a person obviously suffering from some other milady. 1 John clearly show how the Holy Spirit provides insight to our observations that we may critically filter them through the power of the gospel that the correct biblical treatment may be applied by a Spiritually Mature believer (Gal. 6).

      Most, if not all, of the issues you mentioned are demons. You calling these things "maladies" is offensive and dangerous. Those of us God empowers can see or sense the evil; God enables us to do so. Sometimes He causes the demons to act up so we recognize they are present. Sometimes we call them by name as we cast them out. Some people are sons of perdition: children of the devil, and there is nothing for us to do; God is able to pour out mercy on even the worst. Ask.
      Don't label these conditions as disorders or maladies because they are not. Even if they were, God is bigger and one touch of Almighty God and these things are corrected. These conditions can easily be dealt with, some sooner than others, as no demon leaves unless God says so. God has His ways and His ways are right. And don't forget about the devil's children, they masquerade as workers of light.
      Clearly this is not your area of gifting. Do no harm and stop judging the body of Christ by what you know, because this is not your area of expertise, at least, not yet.
      Some of us are gifted and used in this area for God's glory.
      satan hates women, so who better to use to shame him? HalleluYah!!!
      God always wins. HalleluYah and Amen!
      To God alone be glory.

To make a singular textual reference (2Tim2.26) the normal way when the multiple Gospel injunctions and the example of Acts indicate clearly that exorcisms are the 'normal way' is to set experience above the text. Yes, people in the west may not 'normally' exorcise demons. But that doesn't make it the normal Biblical position.

    If we were doing the WORKS of Jesus in our time. Demons were going crazy and exposing themselves. But since we are so weak and materialistic, no demons around, or so we think...

    if you say it can't be proven, then why so quick to to say it is not true. if a man can't prove that he is innocent, does that mean he is guilty?
    consider that creation is proof of The Creator.

    I have had 2 experiences with this. And I agree somewhat in what John said. But you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. And a ways is seen by Jesus and how some disciples couldn't cast out some demons in one instance. So everything that John says applies and also being filled with the Holy Spirit. Rebuke the demon in the name of Jesus Christ. Also in my two experiences God gave me and some other people the strenght and the words to say. Cause I used to be scare of these things.

    Just to be clear, I was done downloading the prayer clips and I was watching this video singularly.

    I agree :)
    But I would have to say they probably don't even want you to believe that they, or God exist. It makes their job much easier.

    @Jerseygirl8999 I agree, can't be completely possessed, but if we listen to demons and fall to temptation/sin, what's the difference? Jesus gave life to our spirit by Holy Spirit, but we need to renew our minds according to God's words and sanctify/keep our bodies pure. I believe demons can dwell in a Christian's body or mind, but not the spirit. We need to take every thought captive, & keep our bodies pure. Holy spirit abides in our spirit, we need to surrender our minds and body as well.

    you just said " Even if God was the initial spark that triggered the Big Bang, science does know the sequence of the formation of the universe from that point on..."
    do you understand that- that means that God exists.

    could it be that you are sincere in seeking for God and you just gave up along the way? maybe this is the reason we are communicating now. and it is the reason because although you say you failed to find Him, you have strong inertia as you are apparantly still seeking Him. I really care about you, open up and believe that i have no intention to hurt you in any way. think about it, was there a time when you became very angry and that anger just morphed from one area of your life to another until
