How to Deal With Demons!

Jesus a True Miracle Healer! - 026
How to Deal With Demons!

People will spend all sorts of money on pills, potions, lotions and notions in hopes of being healed of a physical problem, illness or malady. Some go to “faith healers” in hopes of receiving an instant cure from something that they have been struggling with for years. Some people have honestly been healed by such experiences, but there are also many who have gone and not been healed or who thought they were healed only to later find out that they got caught up in the emotion, but no healing actually took place.

I pose no judgment on such activities, but leave that to God. He is the only one who knows the truth. I do know that God can and does occasionally heal without the benefit of medical science. I also know that some who claim to heal don’t have the power they try to flaunt. Who and how is beyond the point of this look at Jesus. Lets see how Jesus does it!

Worship is Important to Jesus!Mark 1:21; Luke 4:31b
Mark begins his Gospel with a display of Jesus’ power (dynameis)! Jesus is now staying in Capernaum. On the Sabbath and He goes to the Synagogue and teaches the people, who are very impressed with His teaching.

Jesus Speaks With Authority!Mark 1:22-28; Luke 4:32-37
During the service, a man with an evil spirit interrupts and tries to expose Jesus. Who is in charge of your soul? Just because someone goes to church does not mean that they might not sometimes be demon-possessed. Though his words are true – Jesus is the Son of God – Jesus doesn’t want that kind of publicity and commands the evil spirit to be quiet and come out of the man. Knowing Jesus is not the same as being saved! There is no room for the Holy Spirit and a demon in the same body. Kick the demon out and live for Jesus!

The people are amazed that Jesus can so easily command evil spirits and they obey Him. Jesus is THE Authority! This establishes some authority to Jesus’ already amazing teaching abilities. Truly this is no mere man, but someone very powerful and wonderful. The reaction of the people is to go and tell what Jesus did! They won’t forget that worship service! Why do you go to church on SONdays?

Dr. Jesus Cares About Physical Illness!Matthew 8:14-15; Mark 1:29-31; Luke 4:38-39
After the synagogue service, Jesus goes with James and John to Simon and Andrew’s house. Simon (Peter)’s mother-in-law is in bed with a bad fever. God never promises to prevent us from getting ill or even dying! Also, celibacy is not a requirement for ministry! As soon as Jesus hears about it, He goes to her, rebukes the fever, takes her by the hand and helps her up. Instantly the fever is gone and she gets up and starts serving her guests.

Jesus Can Heal Anything! - Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 1:32-34; Luke 4:40-41
SONdown designates the end of the Sabbath. As soon as the day is over and as a result of the miracle at Synagogue and news about Jesus healing Simon’s mother-in-law, many of the people in Capernaum and the nearby surrounding region start gathering their sick people and bringing them to Jesus for healing.

Luke says Jesus laid His hands on them. May people could be healed with little more than a loving touch from someone who cares! Jesus doesn’t qualify a person or heal only certain persons! His love and healing grace are available to anyone who will come to Him!
Jesus heals all sorts of diseases and maladies and casts demons out of others who were so possessed. These miracles have a very positive effect on the people who spread the word about this man who is doing miraculous things. How many of you have something that you would like Jesus to heal in your life?

Jesus doesn’t allow the demons to speak about who He is even though they know. He only has to speak (softly and firmly) and they leave! No yelling, no special spells or incantations or rituals. Just a simple statement spoken with confident authority!

CONCLUSION
It is exciting to notice that when Jesus does a miracle, the results are immediate, complete and permanent? That is the way you can know that Jesus had done a MIRACLE in your life! You can keep demons out of your life by simply speaking under the authority of Jesus Christ.

There is a miracle that is more important than all of the miracle healings that have ever occurred in all the days of this earth. That is the miracle of healing from the sin in your life! Jesus’ death on the cross, made possible the greatest miracle that will ever be recorded and if you are a Christian, you are a recipient of that miraculous healing power!
